Province, having on the 1st December reverted to its former owners, the Church jof Scotland, was, on Sabbath last, opened for public worship in connection with that body.The services in the forenoon were conducted by the Rev.Dr.Ma-thiesim, and in the evening by the Rev.Dr.Jenkins, who delivered excellent addresses to the rather numerous congregation assembled.A Sabbath School con ducted by the teachers of St Andrew\u2019s and St.Paul\u2019s Churches, was opened in the afternoon.We understand it is the intention of the Presbytery oi Montreal to supply the pulpit till such time as a settled congregation has been organized, when the congregation will be at liberty to select a pastor of their own choosing.French Canadian Institute.\u2014The French Canadian Institute inaugurated last Thursday evening, the course of public meetings.More than 400 persons responded to the invitations.An animated discussion prolonged the meeting until half-past ten o\u2019clock.The subject was :

INTELLIGENCE.SUPERIOR COURT\u2014JUDGMENTS.30th November, 1865.BADGLEY, J.May vs.Larue.\u2014This was an application made on the part of the defendant to be permitted to fyle an appearance in the case.An attachment had issued against the defendant\u2019s estate under the Insolvent Act.Now the Statute said that the party contesting shall present his petition \u201cwithin five days from the return day ofthe writ, hut not afterwards.\u201d The defendant merely moved to be permitted to fyle an appearance.The time had gone by.With the iawr so positive, it was impossible to grant this motion.Motion rejected.Bennino vs.Canadian India Rubber Co.and Hibbard Intervening.\u2014The plaintiff moved for security for costs from the intervening party on the ground that he had no domicile here.The rule as to acquiring domicile by a residence of a year and a day did not apply here.It was in evidence that the intervening party had taken up his residence here and -was furnishing his house.The application must be rejected.Belanger vs, Gravel.\u2014This was an action of damages brought by plaintiff, a colonel in the militia, a Commissioner of small causes and a Justice of the Peace.It appeared that in a case before magistrates, the plaintiff was acting as attorney for the defendant in the case, when the present defendant came up and abused him, charged him with giving wrong judgments, and raised his hand to strike him, at the same time asking to go out with him and fight.This abusive conduct was wholly unjustified, and, moreover, took place in the presence of Justices of the Peace.The defendant must be condemned to pay $100 damages and costs.Hibbard vs.Barsalou.\u2014In this case an application had been made for a writ of mandamus, for the purpose of compelling the directors of the Canadian Rubber Company to allow plaintiff communication of the books of the Company.The application was made to Mr.Justice Berthelot, and lie ordered the writ to issue, returnable on the 19th of the following month.He, Mr.Justice Badgley, saw nothing to prevent a judge from ordering a writ to be returned in term, or from ordering a writ tg be proceeded with in vacation.The Statute said application might be made to the Superior Court, or to a judge of the Court in vacation.The case went on and was met by a motion to quash, by a declinatory exception, and by an exception a la forme.Our Statute laid down a particular form of proceeding for mandamus.In England a very circuitous procedure was followed, but our Statute had set aside all that.It was declared that when the writ issued, it should not be quashed otherwise than by pleading.The motion to quash must therefore be discharged.With respect to the declinatory exception, there was nothing to decline, and this exception must therefore he rejected.There remained the exception a Informe, which embraced all that was urged under the other heads, with reference to the right to issue the writ itself.It was true, that in England the Courts had avoided issuing writs of mandamus, where public interests were not involved.But our statute had made the mandamus a part of our law.It was not, as in England, a tiling governed by the Common Law only.The statute pointed out a particular mode of proceeding.The writ was issued by the Judge on petition, or requete libellée, supported by affidavit.The writ was like an ordinary writ of summons, calling upon the party to come in and answer it.The party on whom it was served could onlv answer it by pleading.In this case, then, the first point was whether the plaintiff had such an interest as to justify him in having access to the books of the Coœpatîy, as he asks in his petition.His Honor thought be had.His rights in the Company had been bought out for $50,000.He was no longer to he president, and he was not to be permitted to establish a rival institution in the colony within three years.\u2022 During that time he was to receive 10 per cent, or $5000 per an.on his capital, and then further arrange ments were to be made.For carrying out those arrangements, the plaintiff placed his shares in the hands of Mr.Barsalou individually as a security for the contract that was entered into.But he did not divest himself of his stock in the institution, Had the plaintiff not an interest in this institution if he remained iu the same position now as then ?His interest could not he denied.He had set up specific grounds for desiring not to look into all the transactions of the-Company, but into the transactions between Messrs.Benning and Barsalou At first he had been promised permission, and then he had been refused.This looked as though there were something suspicious to be covered up.The plaintiff having reasonable grounds of complaint was entitled to his mandamus.Proof had been made on the exception, which was insufficient, and it would be dismissed.Vice Chancellor Dawson on \u201c the British Association in ths Black Country.\u201d Last evening Principal Dawson delivered the third of his series of lectures for the Young Men\u2019s Christian Association in Nordheimer\u2019s Hall, the subject being as above.The audience was very large and attentive.Dr.DAWSON commenced by saying : What is the \u201c black country\u201d is a question that has several times been asked me since the title of this lecture was announced.Is it some region of moral or physical or complexional darkness in this or the nether world ; and what has the ' British Association to do in such a place ?In truth the black country ought to be well known to us all.It is the region whence writers get steel pens, needle-women their needles and pins, mechanics their tools where all from a needle to I an anchor, from a penny gold ring to an iron-plated frigate may be had ready made or to order.In short it is the Staffordshire coal-field and its vicinity, one of the greatest hives of industry in busy England.On approaching Birmingham from the weat, the visitor learns to appreciate this application \u201c Black country.\u201d The smoke of hundreds of furnaces darkens the air, and in some places the eye can discern, as far as the smoky atmosphere will allow it to penetrate, no green thing.It is a pity that the green face of nature cannot be preserved where men toil to extract wealth out of the bowels of the earth But Birmingham itself is rather at the outskirts of the proper black country, on the red sandstone and conglomerate, which overlie tne coai-aelU.The environs of the town are in some parts very beautiful, and adorned with the seats of the wealthy citizens, whose hospitality was extended most liberally to the members of the British Association.Birmingham is not only a great seat of many interesting manufactures, hut is in the very heart of England, and in the midst of a network of railways, so complicated as almost to puzzle thestranger desirous of visiting it.It haa besides many excellent edifices, well adapted to the meetings of a scientific parliament, more especially its noble town hall, and the buildings of the Midland Institute, and of King Edward\u2019s school.Hence, the British Association has thrice met at Birmingham, and the success of its last meeting may well induce it to meet there again should it have opportunity.The British Association has now attained the mature age of 34 years.Its initial meeting at York assembled mainly through the instrumentality of Prof.Phillips, and that eminent geologist, who presided at the Birmingham meeting, has, as secretary of the Association, been its most actiye promoter during its whole existence.The Association lias grawn to be one of the great Institutions of England, and its influence, by the wide circulation given to its proceedings through the press, is felt throughout all parts of the British Empire.The lecturer referred to the importance of the meetings to scientific students, and spoke of the many changes which had taken place, and discoveries which had been made during the last ten years.He also explained the manner in lyhich the meetings are conducted, and went on to give a few sketches of men and things at the British Association.Prof.Phillips, the President of the year, and one of the founders of the Association.is remarkable for that width of information and accufacy of detail which characterize Dana among Ameiican geologists, always to he fourni in the right place jn moral questions, apd neyer carried off his feet by the rush of speculations and hasty conclusions.In such questions as the much controverted glacial theories, he busies himself witli accumte experiments and calculations of the crushing weight of columns of ice ; and he has a little observatory in which lie applies his telescope to the planets, and has marked out some, interesting points in what may be called the Physical Geography, more particularly of the planet Mars, aud especially the distribution of its land and water, the movements of its clouds, the advance aud recession of ifs polar snow patches, and the constitution and temperature of its atmosphere.He is equally at home and a diligent worker in fossils.Phillips is also a teaching geologist.I spent a most pleasant day with him and ills able colleagues Dr.Acland and Prof.Rolleston at Oxford, in studying the admirable arrangements in the new museum and scientific library, institutions wliich are now, thanks to these eminent men aiid tneir colleagues, second to none in England in facilities for the stipjy of physical and natural science.The lecturer could imagine no man better suited than Prof.Phillips to cultivate scientific enthusiasm among the students, and to send out from the old University educated naturalists for the next generation.In the geological section Sit Roderick Murchison, the President, and Sir pharles Lyell, the first in the list of vice-presidents, are the acknowledged heads.Sedgwick, the only other of the geological leaders, was absent.Murchison is a niaii of imposing presence and gentlemanly exterior, hiahd, affable, and ever striving to soften the asperities of dispussion.Lyell, a man of less majestic aspect, but with a magnificent head, and thoughtful, penetrating countenance.His appearance impresses one with the fact that his is the greatest and most logical intellect that has been brqught to bear on the earth\u2019s history in opr day.Murcfiison js flue geologist of the paleozoic rocks, the most scientific systématiser of the older formations, which before his time were ipyolveff in confusion.Lyell is the geologist of the cainozoie or more recent period of the earth\u2019s geological history, the reducer to order of the tertiary deposits.Murchison, like Phillips, is a conservative geologist, slow to adopt new views, and strii ing to ho}4 the balance between opposing theories.Lyell is the most progressive and least conservative of the older geologists, apd marches in the van of the geological progress with as much alacrity as the youngest votaries of Hie science.In glancing from these names to those that follow them in the lists of the Association, I feel that there is a wide interval.The present state of Natural Science in England is that of a rapid transition from an era of giants to an era of mediocre men.This has often been the case in the history of science.One generation produces a crop of great men ; the next, perhaps, a multitude of useful, but not brilliant or distinguished, followers.The lecturer then went on to allude to a number of interesting subjects of inquiry at the present day\u2014the antiquity of man ; the agency of glaciers and ice-bergs in distributing the materials of the post pliocene dritt, and in excavating the basins of lakes ; hesifjes a variety of others, commenting on them, and referring to and summarising papers on the same by members of the British Association ; hut space forbids our following him through this portion .ot his lecture.Ho concluded by expressing the hope that the British Association, after it shall haye perambulated the available towns of Great Britain and Irelaiid, may direct its flight westward and pitch its tent fora wee]cin one of our Canadian cities, where, he thought, a joint meeting of the British and American Associations might be held with much advantage to science.The lecture was most interesting throghout, and was loudly applauded.deuces around them of the increase of Christ\u2019s Kingdom.An excellent choir led the various Psalms with much effect, all being heartily joined by the large congregation present.The services of the day must have been a great source of gratification to those who have taken an active interest in the erection of the church.Subjoined we give a description of the building :\u2014 The Church is in the early English style of Gothic architecture, and consists of a nave and side aisles with pulpit recess.The principal entrance is through a large open porch, and there are two side entrances giving access to the galleries and basement.The nave, orches and roof are supported on light piers, which also carry the galleries, and these latter are made to project oetagonally between the piers, thus relieving the usually stiff and formal appearance.The ceilings are plastered, and the roof timbers formed so as to divide them into panels ; the ceiling over the pulpit recess is groined, and forms, as it were, a sounding-board for the speaker.The pulpit itself is a spacious platform, having a handsome Gothic balustrade in front, worked in black walnut wood.The windows are filled with glass of diaper pattern, with a stained margin round the different compartments ; the rose window over the south gallery is tilled entirely with stained glass, and with its rich and varied colours produces a beautiful effect.The pews on the ground floor are arranged on a circular plan, and with the galleries afford accommodation for 750 persons ; another 100 sittings might he added if thought desirable.The basement is large and lofty, well lighted and provided with two entrances at each end.It consists of a large lecture room, vestry, library, minister's room, &c.The building over all is 110x58, and 57 feet to the apex of the roof.It is intended at some future time to add a handsome tower and spire at the west side, the height of which will be 140 feet.The church is built with Montreal stone ; the ashlar work in small, even courses of natural faced stone, the quoins, strings, weatherings, &e., being dressed The columns of the porch are of similar stone highly polished, producing very much the effect of Purbeck marble.The contractors for the stone work are Messrs.Bourgoin and Bruneau ; for the wood work, Mr.Edward Maxwell ; for the plastering, Messrs.Barnett and Woods ; plumbing and gasfitting, Mr.Dufco, pu-inting and glazing, Mr.Usher-wood; ornamental glazing, Mr.Spence.The whole has been carried out under the supervision of Messrs.Lawford & Nelson, architects.Opening of Knox\u2019s Church.On Saturday this very handsome church, built by the congregation who have hitherto worshipped in the St.Gabriel Street Church, was opened for public worship, three services being held during the day, all well attended.The sermon in the morning was preached by the Rev.D.H.McVicar, of Cote Street Church, from 1st Peter, 1st chapter, 5th verse.The discourse was listened to with deep attention.In the afternoon the service commenced at 2.45, the sermon being preached by the Rev.John Jones, of Cote-des-Neiges, who delivered an eloquent discourse, from Zechariah 4th chapter sixth verse.The evening service commenced at seven o'clock, when the Rev.A.B.Simpson, of Knox Church, Hamilton, preached ap interesting sermon, from John 3rd, 2Sth and 30th verses : « He that hath the bride is the bridegroom ; hut the friend of the bridegroom which standeth and beareth him, rejoicotli greatly because of the bridegroom\u2019s voice ; this my joy therefore is fulfilled.He must increase, hut I must decrease.\u201d The Rev.gentleman, in opening his discourse said these were the words of John the Baptist in reference to Christ, and then proceeded to speak in the first place of the person of whom they were spoken ; and in the second place, as to what was affirmed.It was ordeined by Divine law that Christ must increase.God might have perfected his designs at once, but the Saviour was gradually developed, not in reference to his Divine character, but to his mediatorial work.In the first place, he must increase in his fame, which had become world-wide ; and the time should come when all should know him from the least to the greatest.For this reason, the Church of Christ must he a militant church.Them might be great uncertainty in worldly prospects, but there could be none concerning the increase of Christ\u2019s Kingdom.Other religious systems had been founded on imposture ; and as men generally rose in this world to a level of which they were worthy, so in like manner the Christian religion would rise to a much higher level than at present.People, however, were not to rest in inactivity because the power and influence of Christ were destined to extend.God\u2019s cause was to advance through human instrumentality ; and let those who had not already learned to contribute to that end dp so hOîV- In conclusion, the Rev.gentleman adverted to the liberality which had raised the elegant structure in which they were met, and which might be doubtless regarded as one of the many evi- Inauguration of the Church of Gesu.The ceremony of inagurating the Jesuits\u2019 new Church took place last Sunday, when the consecration service was performed by M.Truteau, Administrator of the Diocese.The sermon was preached by Rey.Father Bertrand.We may here giye some idea of this magnificent edifice, at least in its proportions, if not in its artistic decorations.The Church is 194 feet long,by a mean breadth of 96 ft,thus distributed : 1st, an interior vestibule of 17 feet, surmounted by a first gallery for the people, and a second for the organ ; 2nd, from the foot of the Churcli proper to the commencement of the grand nave of the transept, 85 feet divided into five arches of 17 feet each; 3rd, from the transept to the balustrade of the choir, 40 feet ; 4th, froiq the balustrade to the end of the sanctuary, 52 feet.Of the breadth, 40 feet is occupied by the principal nave; on each side, 15 feet for the side-isles; 13 feet for side chapels; the trapsept it is 144 feet from one extremity of the grand transverse nave to the other, and 120 feet in the side isles.The two grand naves are 75 feet from floor to roof, and the side isles 32 feet.The style is the later Greek, the interior columns, capitals, &c., being composite.The whole building throughout is beautifully decorated.\u2014 Vfu believe we are right in saying that the painting of this style lg a poem, the key of which we must look for in its unity, the source of all true beauty.There is here for the eyes a mute but eloquent poetry, a permanent sermon.In chronological order, the first mystery is the nativity of the Saviour.In the transepts we find two episodes which appear to have allusion, the one to education, the other to apostolic life.At one sid*3! above the chapel of Sf.Ignace, js a representation of our Savidur blessing the children presented to him by their mothers ; in a second medallion is the infant Jesus among the Doctors.Above the chapel of St.Francois Xavier is the touching scene of the resurrection of Lazarus.A number of other characteristic paintings fill up the otiierpanels.The ceremony of blessing was performed privately, aud about half-past teu o\u2019clock the Church was open to the congregation, which was large.The mass was chanted simply, tire Church entering yesterday into the Advent season.The Rev.M.Bertrand, the e'oquent preacher, well known to the public of this denomination, was charged with the discourse of the occasion.He took for his text the 1st verse of the 122nd Psalm : \u201cI was glad when they said unto mo, let qs go into the Rouse of the Lprd.\u201d Who amongst them would not join in the sentiment of the Prophet, on entering for the first time into a temple more beautiful than that of Jer usalem, the dedication of which they had long been awaiting.This waS the House of God, filled with His presence ; iind it was also the house of man.They were all the children of God, aud was not the house of tlieir Heavenly Father the house of all his children.The mission of the Catholic Church was to continue the mission of Jesus Christ on earth, and to transmit to his children and develope in tlieir hearts the truths which he preached.The Rev.gentleman went ably into his subjoet charging them towards the conclusion, to love the church, which was their way to heaven ; to love it as the paternal mansion of the children of God ; to love it as the divine life which it would communicate to their hearts, as the light and the truth that it would pour into their intelligence, as tne holiness which it woulfi form in tReir hearts.They were to love especially this temple, which was their own work, and one of the glories of Montreal.The afidition of a church like tRis was a happy event, for religion and their

worthily celebrated than at the village of St.Andrew, situated in the interior about seven miles from the town of Cornwall, U.0.The Honorable Sandfield McDonald, member for that town, who owns a large amount of property at St.Andrew, has just completed the erection of a large hotel there in close proximity to the church, which is an edifice also newly erected, and is one of the most chaste and beautiful of the numerous Roman Catholic edifices in Canada, built of stone and ornamented with magnificent altars and all the insignia connected with that religious system.In the new hotel, Mr.S.McDonald has with his usual liberality, set apart a largo room for the gratuitous use of the parishioners resorting to the church a convenience, the comfort of which, in inclement weather especially, to persons residing at a distance from the place of worship, will he duly appreciated.The approach to completion of this hotel, tho floors being laid, but tho partitions not being yet up, determined the worthy proprietor to celebrate in a suitable manner by a housewarming the anniversary of the patron saint.For this purpose lie gave general invitations to the farmers and householders m St.Andrews, including indeed the whole country round in the counties of Stormont and Glongary, and comprehending the town of Cornwall which lie represents.The cordiality with which this invitation was received is evinced by the fact that from seven to eignt hundred guests assembled from all quarters within the area of seven or eight miles, on the evening in question, to partake of the festivities.The acceptances were as general as the invitations, and comprehended all classes, the elite, and bone and sinew of the united counties!
