obtain the lasting patronage of Importers of that article into the Canadian Ports of Entry, and being conscious that our usual mode of disposing of our Gin, which consists in the obtaining and executing of Orders from the Trade, at fluctuating market prices, does not conform with the usages and peculiarities of Canadian commerce, in consequence whereof, the great advantages over others, which we are desirous of offering to the commercial public of Canada, are not duly appreciated, we have concluded to follow an entirely new mode of introducing our Gin, by importing in the early Spring, and (if sufficient encouragement is given us), also in the Fall ot next year, a considerable quantity of half and quarter pipes, and red and groan oases, divided in small invoices, into the ports of Quebec and Montreal, which invoices, on arrival of the vessel, will be separately offered for Sale at Auction, at fair and very acceptable terms, which will be made known in due time.The standard quality of our Gin, which is surpassed by no other brands, will be invariably the same, as will be shown by samples at each auction sale, and will undoubtedly obtain for our trade-mark (the Crown Double Anchor Brand) a high and unassailable reputation in the Canadian markets.By thus appealing to the sense of justice and impartiality of the merchants in this country, we are conscious that we show a sincere desire to obtain a firm and deserved footing in the Canadian markets, which we are willing to win, even at a sacrifice ; and we confidently hope that importers will show their appreciation ot our sincerity by keeping open in their Warehouses a small corner for tne storage of some of our Gin, which we trust they will not fail to purchase at our first Auction Sale.Delfshaven,

Lozenges ARK The only certain Remedy ever discovered for Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Bronchitis, Asthma, Influenza, Difficult Breathing, Incipient Consumption, and all Diseases of the Pulmonary Organs generally.MCPHERSON\u2019S LOZENGES are the most convenient, pleasant and efficacious remedy that can be employed for tlje removal of the above distressing and if neglected, dangerous symptoms.They give almost instantaneous relief, and when properly persevered with, never fail to effect a rapid and lasting cure.Tc thoge who a; e affected with difficulty of bpeathing, op a redundancy of pblggm, they give speedy relief by promoting free expectoration.For aged persons they ape almost indispensable ; and no one whose lungs-ape in the least degree susceptible of cold ought to be without them.In cassa -f moist Asthma, McPherson's Loa3nges w;u once prevent that soreness which is the result of constn.ni expectoration, and in a dry or nervous Asthma, they will promote that degree of expectoration by which the painful coughing may be greately prevçuted- To public speakers and vocalists, McPherson\u2019s Lozenges are invaluable, two or three of them will remove occasional hoarseness, and their regu\u2019ar use for a few days will at all times increase the power and flexibility of the voiçp, for which purpose they a e regulary used by many professional vocalists.January

other remedies, without any apparent effect.For fifteen days we guarded his hands, test with them he should tear open the festering and corrupt wound which covered his whole face.Having tried every thing else we had any hope from, we began giving your Sarsaparilla, and applying the iodide of potash lotion, as you direct.The sore began to heal when we had given the first bottle, and was well when

were too obstinate to yield to other remedies.I do not know what we can employ with more certainty of success, where a powerful alterative is required.\u201d Mr.Chas.S.Van Lieiv, of New Brunsiuck, N.J., had dreadful ulcers on his legs, caused by the abuse of mercury, or mercurial disease, which grew more and more aggravated for years, in spite of every remedy or treatment that could be applied, until the persevering use of Ayer\u2019s Sarsaparilla relieved him.Few cases can be found more inveterate and distressing than this, and it took several dozen bottles to cure him.Leucorrhcea, Whites, Female We^kme^ are generally produced by internal Scrofulous piger-ation, aud are very often cured by the alterative efibpt pf lifts Sarsaparilla.Some cases require, ftowever, in aid of the Sausararïlra, the skilful application of local remedies.Prom the well-lmawn and widely-celebrated Dr, Jacob Morrill, of Cincinnati.\u2018\u2018 I have found your Sarsaparilla an excellent alterative in diseases of females Many cases of irregularity, Leucorrhœa, Internal Ulceration, and local debility, arising from the scrofulous diathesis, have yielded to it, aud there are few that do not, when its effect is properly aided by local treatment.\u201d A lady, unwilling to allow the publication of her name, writes: \u201cMy daughter and myself have been cured of a very debilitating Leucorrhœa of long standing, by two bottles of your Sarsaparilla.\u201d Rheumatism, Gout, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Heart Disease, Neuralgia, when caused by Scrofula in the system, are rapidly cured by this

with a prospect of self-support and progress, provided the persons for whom they labor reuognize their rights as members of the human family, and take an interest in their welfare.In the event of a reconstruction of Southern society on the basis of free labor, I should plare more dependence upon the blacks than upon the \u201c poor whites\u201d for efficient service ; and I believe it would prove a harder task to reclaim the latter than the former from their present degradation.To convert the emancipated slaves into industrious free laborers will require the most prudent management.But the most important conditions of success in this difficult work are, undoubtedly, to pay tiem fair wages promptly and at short intervals, and treat them with perfect justice, neither encouraging idleness or other bad habits by indulgence, nor exacting more labor than they can think it reasonable to perform.Missing.\u2014An American, named Poor, who worked in the Scythe Factory at Cote St.Paul, has been missing since.Saturday.He wore a long gray overcoat and gray pants, had sandy hair, round face, and no whiskers, was 5 feet 10 inches in height, about 26 years of age, and had a scar on one side of his face.Any information respecting this party will be thankfully received by Messrs.Frothingham and Workman, of this city.Quite a sensation has been created in this city by the many recent mysterious disappearances which have taken place, and the absurd rumours iu connection with them.This, no doubt, will tend to augment it.Accident.\u2014On Tuesday afternoon, about four o\u2019clock, one of the Grey Nuns was knocked down, near Victoria Square, by two horses attached to an empty sleigh, which were being driven in a reckless manner.After the lady had been rescued from her perilous position, she was carried into Mr.Downey's fruit store.The injuries received were not of a serious nature.Nearly every day parties are brought before the Court for furious driving.A sufficiently heavy fine should be imposed on such drivers as would check their indulging in so dangerous a pastime.Robbery.\u2014The store of Mr.John Tees, St.Joseph Street, was entered from the rear on Monday night, and about 30 pairs of ladies\u2019 India-rubber shoes carried off.The thieves have not been arrested.This is the second robbery of this kind that we have had occasion to notice within the last week or two.Police Intelligence\u2014Wednesday.\u2014 Louis Benoit, laborer, cf this city, was examined before the Judge of the Sessions, on suspicion of stealing a buffalo robe.The prisoner was committed as a vagrant and fined 20s or one month.There were nineteen cases before the Recorder.Pierre Labelle, carter, was fined 25s or one month, for furious driving.\u2014James McFadden and Alfred Cadieux were brought up for absenting themselves from their sleighs ; McFadden w is fined 2s 6d or twenty-four hours ; Cadieux was fined 10s or fifteen days.\u2014Hugh Pringle was fined 20s or

think one common duty tor us to perform and that according to the view I take of our position is, togeiherprrespecrive of creed or nationality, to follow the path so wisely mapped out for us by the hand of Providence.Grateful then for the abundant gifts which he hath so liberally bestowed upon us, and warned by the sad\tand disastrous consequences of\tcivil strife,\tso\tpain fully illustrated\tin\tthe dismembermen* of the once happy and powerful Uni ed States1 whose people we\tnow\tsee almost\tat our very doors pouring out\ttheir\thearts blood in\ta fra- tricidal war.Let it, 1 say, be our mission in Canada to cultivate feelings of kindness and good will amongst each other, so that we shall never have the misfortune of beholding the virgin soil of our young country stained with the blood of her\tchildren shed\tin\tanger.Bullet me not be misunderstood, nor let it be inferred from my observations that I have any fear of so dreadful a calamity as that to which I have just alluded.No, thank God, there is not in our religious, social, or political relations, the slightest cause to create alarm.On the contrary, I verily believe, that for us the bitter days of rancorous, senseless party spirit have vanished, and as tire demon of discord hath been driven from amongst us, and by unanimous consent been layed,\tas we\tsay\tof\tthe\tghosts, it only\tremains\tfor\tme\tto\tadd that I hope there is not in all Canada an Enehantors Ward potent enough to break the spell by which the fuui fiend is at present so happily bound.(Cheers.) Ladies and Gentlemen, I trust you will pardon me for indulging at such length in these remarks.Indeed, 1 very much fear that I have travelled out of the Record, a very grave offense in any speaker, and particularly so when as in this instance the speaker is a Lawyer.I cannot however take my leave of you without saying that I feel heartily proud of the creditable position occupied by our St.Patick\u2019s Society.The guardian of our national honour here, we should one and all take a deep interest in its success.Need I remind you, as a reason for my saying so, that its doors are ever open for the reception of the indigent ; that it feeds the hungry and clothes the naked ; that it counsels, assists, and protects the helpless immigrant; that it draws closer together the bond that unites us to Ireland, and keeps ever burning in our hearts, as on an altar, the sacred love of our cherished Father-land.(Cheers) Surely it is the duty of every Irishman in Montreal who approves the principles upon wh\u2019eh this Society was established to\u2019 join its ranks, to enroll himself under its green banner, to share in its good works and to participate in its patriotic aspirations (Applause.) For my ¦part I sincerely rejoice in the knowledge that under its present able and skillful management it has become an eminently successful institution and I am also delighted to see so many of my fair countrywomen so auively engaged in extending its usefulness and in promoting its influence.All honor to them for their sisterly devotion to our interests and to my excellent friends the President and officers of the society for the judgment they have shown in winning to their side such powerful auxiliaries iu the cause of charity (Loud applause.4 I only regret, when 1 had the honor of being President, that I had not the same good fortune to boast of.But no matter \u2014vexed, jealous, disappointed and all, as I cannot help acknowledging myself to be\u2014I am not the less proud of my gentle and affectionate countrywomen, whom from the bottom of my heart I say may God bless for their pious, chari table, generous1 and patriotic deeds.(Applause.) Ladies and Gentlemen, as 1 have made it a rule never to attempt a long speech upon an occasion of this description, I must conclude here and J assure you with great gratitude for your kind attention and tkp very flattering reception you have been pleased to award me.(Prolonged applause.) Facts concerning the Negro.\u2014A{ a recent meeting of the \u201c Emancipation League,\u201d a Com-m t:ee was appointed to take the necessary steps to procure from the Superintendents of11 Contrabands\u2019 and others information bearing upon the question of the capacities of the colored men of the South.It is proposed to use this information iu the best way to bear upon the problem as to what is to be the status of the negro after the Rebellion is suppressed.For this purpose facts are wanted, and a circular h 'S keen sent to those who have charge of negroes within the military lines in the South, and the New York Tribune of Tuesday publishes a number of letters which have been received in reply.The answers to the questions contained in the chrcu-lar,testify to the willingness of the blacks to work, in their religions, and economical habits, &e.The letters are very much alike, and we make some extracts from one of them, received from Richard Soule, General Superintendent of the 2nd Division, and dated pope\u2019s Plantation,\u201d St.Helena Island, January 12th The negroes are willing to work for (hose persons in whom they have confidence, and who will pay them reasonable wages.The proper- 1 tion of idlers among the» is hardly greater than ' it is among an equal number of white men of the inferior classes at the North, TJ-^y ghow a great das) of forethought in providing subsistence for themselves, and there is not the slightest danger that they wilt suffer from starvation as long as they can get Jau4 tp cultivate or can have an opportunity to earn regular wages.They are saving of their earnings and generally make a good use of them, There is very little profanity among them ; and as to intemperance, I have not seen a singie instance of it.Their habits in respect to chastity are such as one might expect to find where scarcely any restraint upon licentiousness has beep heretofore imposed.They have no desire to go North They are strongly attached to the place in which they have been accustomed to live, Nothing but oppression will make them quit their present homer.In the event of general emancipation and fair treatment, theywill be perfectly content to remain where they are.There is little chance however, that they would be willing to labor at wages for their old masters, because they know too well that their old masters would not be likely to treat them fairly.Rather than work for their old masters, they would prefer to earn a precarious livelihood by hunting, fishing and raising swine and poultry ; or, if they had an opportunity to hire or buy land, they would prefer to cultivate the soil on their own account They are very anxious to learn, There were not probably ten colored persons in the Second Di vision who knew the letters of the alphabet last March.There are now at least 500 children and adults iu this division, who have made considéra ble progress in learning to iead.The religious element is very strong, but it has not been suf ficiently enlightened to free them from many de grading superstitions.They believe full/in \u201e iuture life, and they place implicit trust in Pro vffience _ It is much to be regretted that their simple faith has been trammeled by creeds which tend rather to bewilder their minds than to amend their lives.They need nothing as much as to be set right, by friendly exhortation upon the plain principles of duty.\tU\"0n They are naturally very docile and kind, and remarkably submissive to whatever they ihink to be reasonable and just They make no secret of their wish never to see their masters again Nearly all the negroes have been employed by the Government either as laborers on the department ^ m ¦\u2019°b3 conn®ck'd with the military In my judgment, thefreedmen of this'Division CORRESPONDENCE.THE SILVER QUESTION.To the Editor of the Montreal Herald.Sir,\u2014The subject rf our silver currency is of such importance that l hapdiy neecl offer any apology for suggesting the following plans, either of which, in my opinion, would tend to remedy the evil.The ,Qovernmenf, by an order in Council, might permit our Banks to issue notes redeemable in American coin, either gold or silver, at the Banker\u2019s option, or, during the suspension of specie payments in the neighbouring States, to permit, by an order in Council, our Banks to redeem their present issue, one half in silver and the remainder in gold.The above is a very simple and easy solution of the whole difficulty, and the whole thinking world must acknowledge that a metallic cur rency only four per cent, deteriorated would, in case of wap or any other trouble that should derange'our finances, be vastly superior to a paper one, and surely there cannot be any political or otfiep reason fairly urged why American silver -1- l- -se- i-'i.-u-.y duc' uy .w.Your insertion of the above in your widely circulated paper, in order to afford\u2019 the subject yenti.iation, will oblige AN OLD SUBSCRIBER.Montreal, Jan.28.* -¦* GRAND PROMENADE CONCERT IN THE CIT?HALL LAST EVENING.The St.Patrick\u2019s Society gave a Grand Prc-menade Concert in the City HaJJ las.t evening.The building was crowded, and during the evening several appropriate addresses were delivered.The President, Tiros.McKenna, Esq, occupied the Chair, and on either side were seated the Officers of the sister Societies.Hon John Rose, Hon.L.H.Hqltop, 3?o^.T.D.McGee and others were also pres.ent.prince's Bend acquitted themselves in tbeir qsual admirable mannep, con tr>buting in a large degree to the enjoyment of the evening.The President in opening, thanked the audience for their attendance in terms very a propos to the occasion.Ho then went on tc notice the work of the Society during the past year, stating that 400 persons who were in Indigent circumstances, had been relieved and forwarded to their destination.Tne Societv was very much indebted to tlje several Railroad companies for the assistance they had rendered in granting tickets for half-price.The Emigrant Agent ,at this port also deserved their thanks, as he had very kindly 1 aided the Society to the extent of his ability, and evinced a disposition to assist the officers in their charitable endeavours.He jyas proud to see the representatives of the National Sçeieties present on this occasio n.Their attendance was indicative of the varied interest', the union and the spirit which have , contributed to njake Canada what it was at the present time, fje would again thank them for their attendance, (applause) B.Devlin, Esq., rose and said ;\u2014 Mr.President, Ladies and Gentlemen.\u2014I have been kindly invited by the St.Patrick\u2019s Society to address to you, their friends and pations, a few words upon the occasion of our present meet-in , and I assur-e yofi it is with very great pleasure, I avail myself of the opportunity thus afforded me of joining our esteemed President in thackis\" you for your generous and cordial cooperation in the benevolent object of this evening\u2019s entertainment.To the officers and members of tlje Society it must be a cause of very g eat congratulation indeed, to find thejr efforts for the relief of their ; less favored countrymen Crowned with so much success, whilst to all of us It must be a source of: infinite pleasure to see so many of the sons and : daughters of old Ireland, so far removed from : the home of their fathers, gathered together under one roof, moved by the same generous impulsée\u2014animated, I doubt not, by the same lofty hopes\u2014influenced by the same kindly feelings linked arm in arm in the cause of Christian charity, .and bound together in the golden bonds of fraternal unity.(Loud app.'3\"?fi:) And why should it be otherwise 7 For after all is it iuto true that we are branches of the same ' tree \u2014that we are descended from the same old and venerable stock\u2014that we are baptised in the same wateis -enlightened by the same faith, and kppwn to each other here everywhere throughout the world even to its utter-mc6climbs as the children ofgt Patrick.(Cheers) And as these are the conditions which bind us so Closely together, so also should they serve as the beacons to warn us against the dangers of national shipwreck in the deep and treacherous gull of disunion.\u201cUni ed we stand, divided we fall,\u201d is a very ancient maxim and a true one.United we are undoubtedly a people capable of high achievements.And as a proof of the happy results that flow from united efforts may I not at this momenj proudly and confidently point to this immense assembly, to this gigantic union of hearts and hands, and say behold therein the abundant fruits that bless exertions of a united people.(Applause.) Yes, view the picture now before us\tin any light you please, and I venture to say you cannot find in it one dark spot to mar its beauty or to detract from the sublime spectacle presented by the thousands of people congregrated in this Hail\u2014I may callrt Temple ofUuion\u2014lo lay their friendly offerings at the shrine of Charity.(Cheers.) Ladies and gentlemen you will permit me to say that I fully participate in the feelings of pleasure and satisfaction which I am conscious the St.Patrick\u2019s Society derives from the presence amongst us of so large a number of our Protestant fellow citizens.Indeedit is extremely gratifying to mark this fraternal intercourse, and to understand taat we have learned to know, and I trust to love each other, so well as never to allow intollerance upon the one side or the other to dry up the fountains of true philantbrophy| or to weaken the friendly relations that now exist between us, and upon the maintenance of which we are, one and all, high and low, dependent for mutual support.(Applause) Canada, as you ladies and gentlemen well know, is as y et but in a state of infancy, requiring for the development of her inexhaustible resources the combined action of a united, industrious and determined people.May God grant that the day may never dawn that sbail find uS embroiled in any other contest than one of rivalry iu good works, and of jealousy for the welfare of this rounded by the Sea.If we are to travel or trade \u2014 if we are to master knowledge or commerce, \u2014such is the strange element we must learn to navigate.I quite agree with you that whether we pay our passage or work our passage we must not allow ourselves to be bullied or blackguarded, either by the deck hands or the cabin passengers.(Laughter.) This I believe.But I also agree with our wise predecessors, that we ought not to be too thin-skinned to fair criticism ; that we ought to be slow to borrow trouble ; that we ought to go faq to conciliate religious and national prejudice, though never so far as to leave our principles behind us.(Cheers.) Now, Mr.President, I find myself getting didactic, and I think it is high time for me to stop.I confess I don\u2019t much like moralizing in others, and I don\u2019t see why others should like it any better coming from me.Some of my most judicious friends sometimes say to me, \u201c Mr.McGee, when you speak in public remembering that you are a Minister of the Crown\u2014recollecting whit you owe to the country__try and be as unintelligible as possible.(Laughter.) Try to say nothing in the fi test possible words.\u201d (Laughter.) I plead guilty ; 1 confess the hardest thing in the world for me to do would be to say nothing.I remember a rhyme, which a friend addressed to me years ago \u2014 \u201c Be thou like the great Apostle, Be thou like heroic Paul ; If a free thought seeks expression, Speak it boldly\u2014speak it all\u2014 Speak it boldly, all uncaring The gibbet, rack or rod ; Speak it boldly, nothing fearing, And leave the rest to God.\u201d (Cheers).Freely and friendly have I spoken, Mr.President, and I am confident I speak the best sentiments of the best men of the Irish race throughout the world, as to our true social position and policy in British North America, and where better should I speak thereon than before the St.Patrick\u2019s Society of Montreal.(Loud cheers)\u2014amid which the Hon.gentleman resumed his seat.ANNIVERSARY meetings.MONTREAL AUXILIARY BIBLE SOCIETY.The forty-second Annual Meeting of the above Society was held at the Wesleyan Church, Great St.James Street, last night.Quite a large number were in attendance.Hon.J.Ferrrer presided.After devotional exercises by the Rev.Dr.Taylor, Mr.Ferrier informed the meeting that the President on account of sickness was obliged to be absent and that he would preside.He then call 'd upon the Secretary to read the Report.The Report stated that nearly three millions of bibles had been issued by the Society for Ihe past year, and that the Society had been assisted by the Upper Canada Societies in the work of distributing the bible among the French Canadians.T.e treasurer\u2019s account was as follows : Total Receipts.$11,125 \u201c Expenditure.11,003 Balance on hand.122 This, considering the adverse circumstancs under which the Society labored for the past year, was very favorable.The Corresponding Secretary moved, seconded by the Rev.Mr.Kemp, and supported by the Rev.J.Irwin, \u201cThat the Report, an abstract of which has now been read, be adopted, printed, and circulated, with the request that the friends of this Auxiliary throughout the count y will carefully peruse the extracts from the Report of tue British and Foreign Bible Society ;

\u201c That although the annual distribution of Scriptures by all agencies is now supposed to be nearly 6,000,000, it st'li falls far short of the world\u2019s wants; and it seems therefore to be the duty of Bible Societies not only to pre vide more Bibles, but to do do more iu the way of direct offer of them to perishing men everywhere.\u201d Rev.Mp.Harper, in seconding the resoluti n, said the world was in spiritual darkness.The speaker said that the inhabitants of the world were guilty though iu ignorance, notwithstanding the assertions of those who said that the heathen was comparatively safe, Many, he said, were lulled by this worthless doctrine into inactivity.The world\u2019s population was )26,000,000, and even at the rate of six millions of Bibles a year it would take 210 years to give each indiyimral a copy of the Bible.The speaker said it was the Bible that made Europe wimt jt was.The Bifile, in the words of Garibaldi, was ihe cannon of Great Britain The speaker concluded by hoping that they would improve the many facilities which civilization offered to circulate the Bible by Orr, R.A., aud supported by Rev.Professor Cornish, \u201c That this meeting adopts for its concluding resolution, or sentiment, the topic for prayer suggested by the Evangelical Alliance : lThe Word of God ; the universal recognition of its Divine inspiration and authority, the power of the Holy Spirit to accompany its circulation and perusal.\u201d\u2019 The Mover said it was as difficult to do justice to so comprehensive a subject in the time allotted to him (15 minutes) as to perform a miracle.No one could give any idea of the accumulated mass of the evidence of ages, which went to show that the bible was inspired from cover to cover.The miracles wrought in the presence of cuviiling enemies ; the fulfilled prophecies ; the very presence of the bible that night compared with the numberless ancient works which had been destroyed which it outlived,\u2014all these were evidences of its inspiration.The harmony which pervaded the statements of the whole book, notwithstanding the many writers who prepared them, was another proof.The world was indebted to the Bible for its present civilized condition.Wherever a moral tone prevailed, there the Bible bad been freely circulated.The speaker then alluded to the change for the better in the customs of heathen nations by the introduction of the Bible.He alluded to the objections which were brought up by many against those portions of the Bible, which they could not understand\u2014for that reason simply.Because we could not understand, that was no reason we should deny parts of the Gospel.The blade of grass that shot forth at our feet was a mystery, yet we would not doubt its existence.A great proof, in his estimation, was the very difficulties that were thrown in the way of the Gospel.They subserved this purpose\u2014the cultivation and exercise of Christian faith.Difficulties engendered faith ; ana, so far from being an argument against, was one in favor of the Gospel.The Bible could not live on sympathy, it needed support.A collection was to be taken up, and he trusted they would render that support.He then told the following anecdote for their amusement and instruction :\u2014A collection was about to be taken up in a certain congregation.A hymn, \u201cFlÿ abroad O Lord, etc,\u201d .was given out.A colored woman named Dir ah was very earnestly and loudly engaged singing this hymn during-the collection.Ths collector noticed her zeal, and from some previous knowledge of Dinah divining the intention, went up to her and said, \u201c What is the use of your singing' Fly abroad O Lord\u201d Dinah when you never give anything to help him to fly abroad ?\u201d Such a remonstrance would be unnecessary at present.Capt.Orr, R.H., said he would not detain them very long, as a gentleman whose name was at the end of the bill, who called himself, collection would go around and solicit their attention.He recommended that the best way to settle any scruples, as to the amount they should give, would be if they had any loose change in their pockets to turn it all out.In conclusion he said he was rejoiced to see so many people, convened together for so good a purpose.When people liked the work of God, it was an evidence that the spirit of God was working in their souls.The speaker concluded by saying that although the \u201cheavens and earth might pass away, but not one jot or tittle of the word of God.\u201d A collection was taken up, amounting to a handsome sum, after which the Doxology was sung and the benediction pronounced, when the assemblage broke up.Hon.Mr.McGee came forward amid enthusi-g,Jtio cheers.He said : Mr.President and Gentlemen of the Saint Patrick\u2019!?Society\u2014I^adieg and Gentjenren,\u2014I heartily congratulate yog aqd the Sogiety on the success of this Festival.Sipce J have been in Montreal, whatever little assistance I could render any of our charitable Societies has been cheerfully given, and though my sympathies have never been confined and never will bo confined to charities of any creed or any origin, it would be strange indeed, if I did not feel a particular personal sympathy for the efforts of this Society, of which l am myself a member, and with many of whose leading members, including yourself Sir, I hare long' had fb® honor and pleasure to live in terms of friendship find intimacy.(Cheers ) The time of year, I admit, was not the most seasonable for me ; dirties elsewhere were urgent ; but I came from Quebec to be present to night for two reasons in the first place to gratify my friends, who invited me ; and in the'second to gratify myself, (cheers) as I have been gratified, by witnessing your success not only for thé Society\u2019s but for the object\u2019s sake, (Cheers.) Mr.President, what pleases me bjost iu this Festival\u2014if you will allow me to say so, \u2014 is not tiie thronging' multitude \u2014not even the_presence here of representatives of dll

could not be more wisely devised 10 stifle the petty angry passions of sectarianism, or to weld us together, as iron is welded to iron, as fine peopie, 'with one alleigiance, one duty, and one desriny.(Cheers ) And now, Mr.President, knowiflg 't&à't- you expect a speech from me, though speech in any extended sense f have none to make \u2014permit me to offer you and this gowl company\u2019, à few plain remarks on that nevei-'ailing sqbjegt (Laughter,) We, hâtives of lrej.aq^ emigrants lo North America, who are gathered here\u2019td-uight are but a handlul compared to 'that great horde of the Irish race, which'has enriched by its labor or its blood -every Province and every State of this contin nt, from the vallies of Canada and New England, to the mountain slopes of Chili and Peru.We, in British America fofQi but a minor branch cf that great family\u2014ljut I trust we feel the responsibility of the family pame \u2014that we have done nothjng baje\u2014nothing 'ùpworthy of the great, though exiled face to yyhich we belong.In general what I see of problem for our race iu America is that we are an ancient people precipitated into a modern society.Many of our notions, opinions, principles are not at all of the nineteenth century ; for us the world was in its youth yesterday ; aud we can hardly find our way through the night in which it has grown old.I have looked often\u2019 into Irisfi history, and I pretend to know something of Irish character ; I do not think our ancestors in the middle ages were pruch better or much worse than the nst of Christendom ; but from a variety of causes I feel that we modernize more slowly'than most other people.In some ' parts of ' the United States\u2014in and about New York City\u2014according to rny 4-edr and honoured friend Mrs.Sadfier\u2019s .(cheersj portraitura in her Old and New, we modernise in one way deplorably fast : but iu British America, considering our -opportunities, and the example of other

position\u2014without self-flattery, without complimentary exaggeration -in British America?I know no way of describing it better than by comparing it with the position of the Irish in Pennsylvania during the generation which giado (he American revolution.The great Province of'Pemjsylyania \u2014 stretching from Lake Erie to the sea\u2014reposing under the every means in their power.tolerant

witnesses, lawfully united iu marriage, this thirtieth day of October, one thousand eight hundred and twenty-three.(Signed,)\t\u201cJOHN SEARS.\u201d There can be no dispute about the genuineness of this document, the style of the printing, handwriting, the quality of the paper, and its general appearance, show it to have been made many years ago.The evidence of the defendant being objected to, 4mige Goodrich excluded it, remarking that after a man had entered into a marriage, solemnized with all the forms of ffiw, he ta^es upon himself certain obligations which he\u2019 cannot escape by being permitted to' plead his own crime to destroy the validity of the marriage.He cannot take advantage of his own wrong.The jury, after a short at sence, returned a ye e diet for the plaintiff, with $928 damag s.Near\u2019y_ a year after his second marriage, Smith visited his first wife, and they remarked, according to ths testimony, that he actitj strangely, as if something were the matter with

Times.men in England, who, having performed impor- tant public services disinterestedly and patriotically, have been presented with some valuable memorial as a mark of national appreciation.On some occasions they have been presented with large sums of money, as in the case of Mr.Cob-den, who received something like oue hundred thousand dollars from his grateful countrymen.It has also been the habit among many nations to evince their regard for great men by erecting monuments and statues to their memories after their death.The incident to which we have now to allude takes precedence of all these in many respects.It is as unique as it is highly appropriate ; and, while it is unprecedented as a mark of public appreciation, it is one of the most solid as well as truly tastey means of popularly recognizing the services of a distinguished ci-izen and soldier.The friends of General McClellan \u2014and their name is legion\u2014will, then, be glad to learn that his services to his country have been fully appreciated by a number of his fellow countrymen.His excellent lady has just been presented with a most beautiful and spacious residence, furnished in a supetb and costly manner.The house is not only delightfully situated, but it has been provided with all the essentials to comfort and even of fashionable elegance.The utile dulci have been most exquisitely combined.While the deep parlors are covered with the rich carpets of Turkey, the spacious cellars are stored with am-phorss ot snch Falernian wine as Horace would have been pleased to broach.The safes, cup boards and lockers have been crammed with the choicest groceries and delicacies which could delight the most Epicurean tastes and appetites.Around the lofty walls are suspended splendid paintings\u2014the chef-dreuvres of ancient and modern masters ; while glittering chandeliers depend in brilliant beauty from its ceillings.In short the house was made worthy of the honored parties for whose acceptance it was intended.This beautiful and singularly appropriate gift was tendered to Mrs.McClellan in a neat little letter, and all that she is now left to do is to assume the ownership and possession of the mansion.This circumstance must have been very surprising to General McClellan and his amiable lady, for whom the gift is specially intended, no doubt with the view of still more pleasing the General ; but when it is ' understood that many of the gentlemen who subscribed liberally for this purpose are leading republicans of the land, it will probably not surprise patriots, but only those who have always been endeavouring to assail anti overthrow one of the most accomplished of American soldiers, whose .sword had no sheath when called to the field of duty.We have learned with pleasure that among the subscribers to this McClellan testimonial are the names of Astor, Aspinwall, Morgan, and others eninently distinguished.This is truly a monument to a man before his death ; and it is highly probable that the people of America will here-a'ter endorse this munificent gift of so many patriotic citizens by conferring on General McClellan anannuity for four years of $25,000 a year, together with the use of a fine residence in the District of Columbia, now occupied by Mr.and Mrs.Lincoln.\u2014N.Y.Herald.BY TELEGRAPH.Via Montreal Line.Fightinq Joe Hooker in Wall

G0MMER0E.Montreal, Jan.28, 1863.EXTRAORDINARY MATRIMONIAL AFFAIR IN WISCONSIN.PROCEEDINGS IN THE SUPERIOR COURT.Some years since Harriet A.Newell, a gay, pretty girl, full of spirit, found the society of Courtlandviile, Oourtland county, New York, where her parents lived quite too dull for her exalted notions of a life in which people should keep moving.She had an elder brother doing business at Vienna, Canada West, and she resolved to pay him a visit.Nobody could resist her, and the dashing belie was soon on her way to Canada.She found Vienna q ite an improvement over the staid society of Courtlandviile.Indeed, it was quite charming, Vienna was a gay place, and Harriet the gayest of the gay, the prettiest, sauciest, and best dressed lady of the place.Her expenses were quite heavy, and as her brother advanced her the money to meet them he took from her her notes at interest.Two years served to melt away $600 of her brother\u2019s coin, and even at this rate Harriet began to view t e pleasures of Vienna as insipid, and longed for new fields wherein to roam.She had some acquaintances in Walworth county, Wisconsin, a id it occurred to her to pay them a visit, and so, one January mot.ning in 1859, she drew up her note for $300 and presented it to her brother, with a request to get James Daniel, Judge of the County Court of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell, was sworn

Herald states that Acting Master Partridge, of the gunboat Hatteras, who was ordered to board the vessel, speaking the latter, says that he had not sailed off a ship\u2019s length before the Alabama poured in her first broadside, which was immediately replied to by the Hatteras.This occurred just at dark.After the first broadside was exchanged both vessels steamed ahead side by side exchanging broadsides as fast as the guns could be loaded and fired, and within very short distance of each other.Mr.Partridge was pulling ahead all the time to endeavour to reach his vessel, but did not
