where tubercres became deposi-ted in the lungs and other organs, as in the Kidneys, Diver, Spleen, Bronchial Glands, Intestines, establishing Consumption ol these organs, the BLOOD is thin, weak, pale winery, und is aefiicient of such constituents as fibrin, albumen-, phosporns and the rich red colouring discs of the blood Corpuscles In tne absence oi these constituents in the blood, t he blood is exhausted of strength and nourishment, and wherever there is inflammation it deposits tubercles and decayed matter.It has not the power to hold in solution its natural constituents, ami ulcers, sores, tumors, cancers, and virulent humors are formed, the presence of which causes inflammation, gathering, and consequent suppuration.This, reader, is the true cause of the formation of tubercles and consumption.Dr.RADWAY was the first,to advance this theory of the cause of consumption and its Kindred diseases, and prepared the RADWAY\u2019S RESOLVENT to supply the blood with such constituents it was deficient of in this condition of system, and to give it the nourishment and strength to hold its natural constituents in solution.Dr.RADWAY\u2019S theory was published in England, France, Germany, and South America, and was seized upon by the scientific medical men of both hemispheres.From his text medical books have l ?en since published by medical writers claiming to have discovered the cause of consumption, but Lave failed to produce the remedy to cure.Dr.Radway was tne first and only discoverer of a medicine that will cure.In RADWAY\u2019S SARSA.PARILLIN RESOLVENT the public

but came in the shape of answers to questions presented to the doctors of Munich for their opinion as to the ultimate results of the propositions contained in the Papal Syllabus.Dr.Dollinger, and the Faculty, officially, that is, as we understand it, the majority of the Faculty pronounced the opinion to which we have already alluded, and which we have called a protest rather as a popular than strictly technical description of the papei to to which these learned gentlemen ffixel their names.What is mportaut is, that they were understood to condemn the practical effect of the theories which were put forward by the Roman Court, as being novel and subversive of the existing arrangements between the Roman Church and society considered in itself, or as represented by the secular Governments of tlie world, or again as manifested in the spirit of that aggregate condition of thought and practice which is censured under the title of modern civilization.The publication of the decisions of the Faculty given in answer to tills appeal is now followed by the publication ol a new and contrary set of judgments.This appears to have been put forth under the sanie title as the flint, though we are not quite sure, from the shape in which we have it, that this is the case.By whatever name it lias been called, however, it is practically a statement of the individual opinions of two members of the Faculty only, or m other words has the same sort of authority as that which, among our American neighbours, is called the minority report of a Committee.Such a report may of course he the better one of the two; but its value depends upon the personal reputation of the members who sign it, and upon the justice of its appreciation of facts and reasoning upon them.It derives no weight from the body to which its writers belong ; but against whose judgment it is avowedly drawn up.The two theologians of Munich, who, on this occasion, form the minority, appear to differ from their brethren not so much as to the grammatical meaning of the words ; .hut as to the practical result which ought to flow from adopting them.In this they resemble controversialists, on the same subject, nearer home ; for while they contend for the broadest possible statements as expositions of infallible opinion, they represent that nothing whatever may come of the declaration and inculcation of this opinion, though they admire it for the fact, that it opposes itself directly to the existing order of things and to the tendencies of the agr.Take for example all that is said in the Syllabus against the modern principle and practice of permitting all forms of religious opinion and worship, indifferently, and the consequence which follows-, that the State ought to submit herself to the Church as to laws affecting conscience and public instruction.Dr.Dollinger and his brethren treat these enunciations as serious matters, and therefore consider them and condemn them as leading necessarily to the making of the State a party and an instrument in the suppressing of all dissident Churches.The two Professors who have last spoken labour throughout their paper to show that neither secular Governments not the need fear do not already feel secure in the guarantee of the rights of conscience and of citizenship which is' furnished by that modern civilization that is now to be attacked.The most which the minority of the faculty seem tc be able to deduce from their reasonings is that it will not follow from the adoption of the Syllabus in its present form that the faithful shall find it enjoined on their consciences at once to endeavour to alter the present relations between the State and the Church, or between true believers and heretics.All that is intended, wo are told by the negative form in which the theses of the Syllabus are conceived, is that the present state of tilings is not the right one\u2014 is not to he striven after, but only to be permitted \u201c under certain his-\u201c torical circumstances.\u201d These \u201c certain historical circumstances\u201d will seem to most persons, with Protestant prejudices, to he merely a mode oi describing suc.li a condition of society as does not permit of the practical enforcement by penal laws of universal religious conformity.If toleration and religious eouality are not to he striven for, and are only to be permitted on account of historical circumstances, it seems to follow that intolerance and sectarian ascendancy, if not persecution, is the ideal of perfection when circumstances do permit, arid it is no less plain that it is the duty of all to labour for the removal of the circumstantial obstacles in the way of this ideal perfection of which the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries witnessed so many blessed examples.Nor will those who arc apprehehsiv have their fears allayed by the assurance that on these heads nothing is to be declared which lias not hitherto made part of the uniform teaching of the Catholic Church.If this have been its teaching why lias it not been its practice for the last century or so?\u201cCertain historical \u201c circumstances\u201d no doubt stood in the way.But then why affirm as a dogma that which lias already been the steady teaching of an infallible authority?Is it not because now again it is hoped to find a new set of circumstances in which the toleration enforced by the \u201c certain circumstances\u201d of.recent times will bo no longer necessary ?That is the question which very naturally occurs to that portion of the world who, while they avow that they have no mission to suppress or extirpate other forms of belief think that they arc entitled to hold,to practice, and on proper occasions to propagate their own.The majority of them probably are not much alarmed by the mere repetition of a declaration that they ought not to be tolerated ; but wo fear they will not be convinced by the minority of Munich Professors that their toleia-tion arises out of the sense of justice of those who repudiate all idea of justice towards them as a matter of principle, and who merely assert that they will do no wrong to dissidents, so long as they are prevented from doing it.old declaration by telling us immediately afterwards, that ho was looking out for a job; being, notwithstanding \u201cthe satisfac-\u201c tion ho had given to lus official superior, \u201c unemployed and with no certainty \u201c °f re-employment -in the Imperial ser-\u201c vice.\u201d The enemy, no doubt, was well enough disposed to say all that ; but how could Sir Francis, on any other supposition than that of the evil effects, have determined himself to destroy, in one sentence, all that he hail said in the one immediately preceding it.He is unemployed ; he has no certainty of being employed again ; and 3ret it is a dreadful personal sacrifice to obtain an increase of bis income; and yet again he was ready to make this\u2019 sacrifice for the good of his country.The force of self contradiction could no farther go.Nor does the drivel of this sort of seesaw find much relief in the few words, in which alone he deigns to discuss any questions of actual vitality.Sir Francis was a Radical of the Radicals ; he is about to join a Tory of the Tories, who has formerly made the most serious charges against him.One would think there something to be said about this ominous conjunction \u2014 some explanation whether or not Sir Francis still considers himself a Liberal, and if so for what great public end he makes this grand personal sacrifice of joining in the same Cabinet, one whose ideas must be so contrary to bis.Bat the only principle to the support of which the candidate rouses the enthusiasm of the electors,is that \u201ca Canadian statesman, who may he selected by our Sovereign for \u201c honourable employment in other portions \u201c of Her Dominion, shall not he held to \u201c have forfeited by his acceptance of such » trust, the confidence of his countrymen.\u201d One would think that half the electors of North Renfrew were expecting governorships of\tBarataria, and\twere dying to make an example of ex-Governors coming hack and ruining themselves in Canadian Ministries.Who can wonder if the North Renfrew people shall rush to the polls when they have a cause of such vast general interest-, and otherwise so inspiriting as this to rouse them to exertion ! How prosperous the country must become, how blessed the Dominion, if the result ot this election shall be to determine in a proper manner the weighty political question here proposed ! What a career for trade, industry and intellectual energy will be offered by a proper reply on the part of the electors ; and how striking is the connection between Sir Francis' own fortune and the largest consideration of public utility ?These, we presume, may have been the reflections of Sir Francis as he perused the proofs of the highly inspiriting appeal which lie was making to his future constituents.We do not know, however, how all this may strike the minds of the farmers, lumberers and merchants of the country, who wo should suppose have matters of more intimate concern on which to vote than the fortunes ot an ex-Governor, which may be at stake once or twice in a century-.Our judgment on this singular address we have already\tintimated\u2014the tears in our eyes while.wc did it.1\u2019ictou on their way up, they were told that the tiling could not be permitted.It is would have plain that such permission served important interests.It would have reduced the freight upon the lumber which to carry away ; it the coal these ships came hither to carry would have enabled them to carry which they brought here at a moderate rate, and it would thus have kept down, to some extent, the price of coal.Nevertheless, the decision of the Government, as we understand it, was a sound one, with which no one had any right to quarrel.But the gentlemen thus rebuffed have now gone into oilier shipping adventures between tne Lower Ports and Montreal, and they complain, that what was refused to them has been granted to the American owners of a propeller now in port and loading for Pic-ton.This vessel, they say, was \u2018refused a clearance by our Collector, but was granted one, on application to Ottawa, the order of tlie head of the Department that the ship should have a clearance having been telegraphed to Mr.Delisle.Nothing can authorize the Government thus to contravene the law of the land, and the complainants will, we should think find that there is some explanation with which they are not acquainted.If there be none, it seems to us that the author of tlie telegram to the Collector has manifestly gone beyond his powers, and has done so in a very objectionable manner.Ttouble with the Fisheries.\u2014If a statement which comes to us through the New York Tribune he true, we may have shortly on our hands something in the way of fighting more serious, certainly more earnest than the late Fenian scares.Our contemporary asserts that the American fishermen are so dissatisfied with the interference of the Dominion cruisers, by which the Americans arc excluded from grounds where they think they have a right to fish, that they have taken legal advice, and under it have armed themselves with rifles, prepared and resolved to resist the revenue «utters of our Government.The Tribune thinks that a conflict between a dozen Yankee schooners and one of our cutters would, without doubt, result favourably for the larger fleet.But there may chance to he on hand some-tiling more formidable than the Provincial cutters, in the shape of a man-ot-war.At any rate, our Government is warned of what is spoken of, if not intended, and will, we suppose; act accordingly.Perhaps all this may be mere talk; but the fishermen are a sort of men who are much more 1 lice] y to fight than the spouting orators with whom ive have been hitherto concerned as enemies.ALEX.McGIBBON.¦ 214 POT 33A.ÎLLEY Received regularly from the Mills, AND FOR BALE BY ALLAN BOWMAN & \u20ac0.28, Foundling Street.A^enst a peoples that they govern any such consequences as the majority of their brethren see in tlie ' dicta of the Syllabus.Sut Francis ITtkcks as an Address Writer.\u2014We confess to feeling somewhat ashamed of our old friend Hincks.We do not say so on account of these transactions in his past life respecting which we believe every one is agreed excepting the hon.gentleman and the writer in tlie Leader.But from an ancient miemher of our own profession, one who has borne the character of a distinguished Canadian, who has been Premier, and who never formerly passed for a simpleton, even in the jobbing line, we did not expect such literary imbecility as we find in his address.We took some days to reflect upon it, and see whether there might not be in it some esoteric meaning, some finesse which escaped one at the first perusal ; some indications of political wisdom, obscure only on account of their profundity.AVe find, however, nothing to redeem our first impression, and we come reluctantly to the conclusion that damage has been caused by the hot sun to which the ex-Governor was exposed on that first important mission of which ho has made mention, and by that probably still hotter sun to which he was exposed in the second and still more important office of which he has also spoken.It is indeed not wonderful that the climate of the countries where these services were rendered to the Sovereign should have caused a certain amount of inflation in the estimate of their value.This, doubtless, seems much more momentous to him, who has perspired through days of wearying idleness rather than of painful labour in their performance, than to those who remember that the governments of such places are effectively administered by ancient military officers, who have often fought like lions,but whose political knowledge is limited to the best style of reproving a subaltern or ordering a soldier to the guard house.Something must he allowed to human nature in these cases.But why will Sir Francis, whose various fortunes should have furnished him with some variety as well as novelty of ideas, follow fellows like William McDougall in describing himself as making great sacrifices to serve the public ?And then why, having adopted this line, well-worn as it is, will he not stick to it instead of exhibiting in the very same document its utter absurdity?AVe can understand that persons who have acquired a taste for what the Chinese call the rites, and ceremonies, from having exchanged a rough sort of life, for fifteen years ot State etiquette, even though in a half negro ' Court, should be disposed to do everything according to the received precedents in similar cases.If a Bishop is bound to declare his unwillingness to wield the crozier, it may look becoming, tor a Finance Minister to he coy of accepting office.But how would it read if, after the nolo Episeopari of obligato humility, the intended Bishop should continue his latin by an exposition of personal rea- Spain,\u2014The general verdict upon the recent Spanisli revolution will, doubtless, be, that it has not been a great success.Be it so ; but, after all, it may be asked, on tlie other baud, whether Spain hai lost anything by the loss Of the Sovereign.She has certainly gained much in the estimation, of those who admire modern civilization, instead of condemning it ; and what are the drawbacks?She has had a number of insurrections, more or less formidable, put down, as such things are put down in Spain with some effusion of blood.But when in our day, was there in Sj ain, any year without its risings civil or military against the existing chief authority ?The truth iSj that Spain, so far as wo can see.is at least as peaceable and prosperous internally, as she was at any time during the reign of Isabeiia.If there he any difference in her condition it is due to the insurrection in Cuba.AVe see nothing, therefore, which necessarily should lead tlie Spanish mind to wish for a re-es-establishment of monarchy, thong]} the present provisional condition of things does not seem to foreigners to he a satisfactory one, and though little progress 1rs been made in reducing the recalcitrant Colony.There must, however, ho some curiosity to learn wha.t will he the solution of an order of things in which the nation, through the Cortes, has declared for a Monarchy, yet has been for many months without a King.It would be idle to make any prophecy on the event of such a strange complication of circumstances.But so far as we can judge the delay in establishing a Monarch in person, instead of a monarchy in the abstract, is all against tlie chances of a future throne, and all in favour of the Republicans, who, of the purely political parties, as distinguished from the religious party, probably number more men than any other, who possess political instincts and modes of action.They are, we dare say, in a minority, perhaps a small minority of the nation ; but we suspect that they control almost all the means of political action which the nation possesses except those which are wielded by the clergy.AVhatever ho their force it must morally he increased by the manner in which the Crown has been hawked about, to Bourbons and Braganzas, and finally to a hoy now at an English school of the house of Savoy.All this looks too much like an announcement that anything will do if it have only the name of king, and de.grades the office and its future holder to the rank of a mere automaton.One understands that .a nation\tin diffi- culty may ask a strong man to govern it for the sake of having his firm and intelligent guidance.But what Span, iard of spirit can look with any satisfaction at being asked to swear allegiance to lad of foreign birth, still learning his accidence at Harrow ?This lad, however, it appears, is the particular choice of Louis Napoleon for the throne of the neighbour ing nation.Some observers are of opinion that he seeks to set a European fashion of Sovereigns in their minority, in order to prepare the way for a minor Sovereign o his own dynasty.However that may he t seems to be acknowledged that he has given his ill omened patronge to the young Italian, who will do well before he accepts the favour to remember the fate of another Prince, whom the intriguer of the Tuilleries, forced upon another Spanish people.Sir John A.MacDonald and the Hon.George

SYNOD.Their reasons are, AVe must allow, SOns, which showed how rmry much his private circumstances make him want the Bishopric ?AVhen the offer of this post was made to him, Sir Francis says that he

safety for ministers, unless they confined themselves to marrying of parties with whom they were personally acquainted.He wanted to have one law for all, Catholics and Protestants.The grievance should beset forth to Parliament, and it should he left to that body to find out a remedy.Rev.Mr.AVILSON was not aware that there was any different law in tlie matter for the Catholic priest and the Protestant minister.The issuer of the license should be held responsible.Mr.McKAY said the practice amongst Catholics was marriage by publication ol banns, and he would like to see this practice extended more.He would like the responsibility, to be placed on the issuer of tlie license.Rev.Dr.IRVINE said it was admitted on all hands that the Protestants of Lower Canada had a grievance in the present marriage law.There were three causes of complaint, one was, that the ministers of Protestant denominations were- held responsible for any deception practised on them by parties marrying under age.Another cause of complaint was that a Protestant must pay $#.before he could he married by license, whilst the Catholic pays nothing, except what he chooses to give to his priest.Another grievance was that the money from these marriage licenses was appropriated to the satisfaction of Rebellion losses.An amendment of Professor McVICAR'S to tlie effect that a Committee he appointed to inquire into the state of tlie mairiage law, to specify tha grievances complained of and the means of remedy for tlie same was then put and carried by a majority of one.THE NAPANEE ORGAN CASE.A protest and , appeal of ?the Rev.Mr.Scott and Air.Grey, from tlie decision of the Kingston Presbytery, forbidding tlie use of an organ in the church at Napanee, was presented.\tL ,\t, After a debate, the matter was sent hack to the Presbytery of Kingston, on account of irregularity of the said Synod in not having cited the session of Napanee before it.GENERAL AGENT.An overture was presented from the Preshy tery of Montreal, about the appoint-ment of a general agent of tlie Synod of Montreal.NEXT MEETING OF SYNOD.A discussion now took place, as to where and when tlie next meeting of Synod should be held.Tlie general sense of tlie Synod seemed to he in favour of Ottawa, and the second week in May, but tlie hour of adjournment being passed, and no resolution having been come to, the matter was 1~\u201c-undecided, evening sederunt.The Synod was again constituted, aftei which the clerk read the minutes of the last sederunt, which were sustained.The discussion as to the time and place of the next meeting of Synod was resumed.It was gerieially thought that one meeting a year would be sufficient, but not during the present ecclesiastical year.It was eventually decided that the next meeting of Synod should be held in Bank street church Ottawa, at seven in tlie evening of the second Tuesday in May 1870.SACRED MUSIC.The following overture, signed by the Rev.ANDREW AVILSON and others, was presented :\u2014 AVhereas, singing to the praise of God is a delightful part oi'His worship, in which it is the privilege and duty of all to unite\u2014 AVhereas, in order to tlie huppy enjoyment of this privilege, and the harmonious discharge of the duty, it is desirable that attention be given to tlie congregation,\u2014 Therefore, it is numbly overtured that tlie Synod may bo pleased to adopt such measures as in their wisdom they may deem best, to promote tlie knowledge and practice of sacred music within their bounds.Rev.Mr.AVILSON said that tlie conviction that singing was an essential part of divine worship, was becoming weakened.He pointed out several reasons for this, and indicated means for the improvement of congregational singing.The Moderator said this matter would never be mended until they had one time-book for the whole Canada Presbyterian Church.One speaker considered that the introduction of hymns had done much for the improvement of congregational singing ; whilst another speaker held that when nothing but tlie Psalms of David had been sung in churches, synods had no need to remind them that congregational singing was a part of Divine worship.A third would have the Psalms of David rendered as they were intended to be, with instrumente! accompaniments, or with the organ., It was finally carried that the overture be received, and that a Committee he appointed to take the matter into consideration, and report to the next Synod ; and, in the meantime, Kirk sessions be recommended to do all in their power to encourage the cultivation of sacred music.AGENT FOR SYNOD OF MONTREAL.Rev.Mr.GIBSON spoke to the overture of the Montreal Presbytery, recommending the appointment of a regular or ordained minister as agent for tlie Synod of Montreal, more especially to devote himself to the overtaking of the missionary work within the bounds of the Synod.Mr.Gibson showed that much mission work was going backwards instead of advancing; and thus tlie necessity for such an agency.The fields and work were so extensive, that it was impossible for men, whose time was already so taken up to be able to take up this special work.There was notbing for it but to get some person who could devote his whole time and attention to this work.The proposed agent could look over tlie unoccupied portions of the field, and supply missionary information to the country churches, and thus swell the amount of contributions.Rev.Prof.MoVICAR read a number of statistical statements showing the origin and great progress of Presbyterianism in Canada, during the last eighty years.At the présent moment tlie Church of Scotland in Canada had 160 ministers, and the Can ada Presbyterian, 300.He then showed that the proposed method of woiking the missionary field was thoroughly Presbyterian, and was followed most successful.y by several Presbyterian bodies, also by the Methodist and others.He thought it was competent for this Synod to make the proposed provision, and believed it would he self-supporting, and more.He believed, too, that Protestantism, iir the simple form it assumed in their Church, would yet conquer the popery ot Lower Canada, and it was for thorn to let their agency be felt in the French country.Air.YOUNG, the clerk of the Synod, showed how that the Quebec district had almost entirely gone out of the hands of the Presbyterians, to be taken up by the Episcopalians and Methodists.This was from want of ministerial supplies, not from removals of families.Rev.T.GORDON deprecated the general employment of special paid agents, and held that such an appointment as tlie one now contemplated, would check, rather than stimulate, the liberality of the country people.Rev.Mr.GORDON did not think one agent could overtake this mission work, but instead, probationers should go as tinerants to these vacant places, for at least one year.Rev.Air.MCLAREN said the remedy proposed was entirely inadequate to the removal of the evil complained of.He believed Prof.MoVicar\u2019s new college was the best thing for remedying this state of things.They wanted more young men to be trained to the ministry in their colleges.As to the raising of funds ministers of congregations should taka measures to the end of bringing up the liberality of their people Mr.MOORE followed in the same vein laying great stress on the fact that the great difficulty was the want of men to enter the ministry.Rev.Air.AIcAUCAR moved, seconded by Rev.A.Al.GIBSON, to the effect that the overture iu question be received, and a committee, which was named, be appointed to report to a future sederunt.\u2014Carried.It being now after ten o\u2019clock, the Moderator pronounced the benediction, and the Synod adjourned until ten o\u2019clock on Thursday morning.could not be allowed to evade the argument that they were the authors of the bloody persecutions, which were engaged in by the adherents of that Church.He instanced several persecutions, such as the Massacre of St.Bartholomew in honour of which medals were struck by the Romish authorities.The views of the Church of Rome were that tlie Pope was the head of the Christian religion and logically, from that point of view, that Protestants were rebellions children who must' be coerced.In Lower Canada he believed that a large numbeqof the clergyhad been ofthe school of Pere Hyacinthe and Dollinger but lie feared that these were now displaced by Ultra-montanes.He regarded tlie latter, as well as the Puseyites in the Church of England, as the men who were carrying out logically the doctrines which were laid down.He believed that many of them were better than their principles.But they had for quarter of a century kept Mexico in disorder, were now ruling in Lower Canada, and he feared would show before long that tney were ruling in Upper Canada also.It was asked what could the Synod do?It could proclaim the views, doctrines and principles of the Church of Rome, and this had been admirably done in the letter signed by the Moderators cf the Presbyterian Churches in the United States.Dr.D\u2019Aubigne says that little can be done to checkmate tlie Church of Rome until after tlie Council has been held, and that then the whole matter should be brought up before tlie people in every town, in every hamlet, in every house if it were possible.He read circular issued by a Committee which met in the house of Air.Arthur Kinnaird which recommended that prayer he held durifig December for the overthrow of the Romish Church.He left the subject In the hands of the Synod.Rev.Mr.GORDON briefly seconded the motion, but spoke with great diffidence as not being clear himself as to the steps that should be taken.Mr.P.PEEBLES, (Elder,) advocated united prayer for the object in view.Rev.Dr.IRA\u2019ING made a few remarks on the subject, and read a letter from Rev.Dr.Black, Boston, on the spread of Roman Catholicism in New England.Rev.Mr.WHY'TE moved that the Synod receive and adopt the overture, and recommended that tlie various ministers of this Synod take the matter into their serions consideration, and adopt what measures they deem best to improve the occasion by disseminating information through sermons, addresses, and otherwise, regarding the principles and character of tlie Church of Rome,.accompanied with prayer to Almighty Gcd.Rev.A.AAULSON, Kingston, seconded the motion, and urged that bj- every means the principles and doctrines of the Church, of Rome should be exposed.He believed not only that that Church was ruling Lower Canada and the Dominion, but was ruling Great Britain and Iceland, and a book has been lately published with a preface by Dr.Manning, which contained sentiments subversive of tlie Constitution of tlie Country.He could not shut ids eyes to tlie fact that such rapid strides were being made that, before another Coronation,the throne would be thrown open to a Roman Catholic, and those would be made to feel the yoke who had by their conduct given encouragements to this Man of Sin and Son of Perdition.Rev.Mr.YICAR said that arrangements were being made to have addresses made to the French population on the subject.It was also intended to bring together tlie French Converts to whom addresses would be made by Messrs.Dcslslets, Coussirat, and Chiniqui, and others were expected to take part in the work.The motion was unanimously agreed to.Rev.Air.McAUCAR read the report of the Committee appointed to enquire into the state of tlie Marriage Law in the Province of Quebec.The report says that tlie present law in its application presses unjustly on the Alinister who performs the marriage ceremony, in ease either or both of the contracting parties are minors, or within tho forbidden degrees of kindred.The Committee recommend that a clause be added to the Act making the vendor of the licences liable.Air.McAftcar said that a member of the Committee had called attention to the application of tlie fees.He held that that was a separate tiling, and hopeless to expect the repeal of that clause.Rev.Mr.CLARK thought that the true provision they ought to look for should he that for the protection of the rights 6f parents and the prevention of clandestine marriages.There was no provision for these things.AVith regard to tlie fees collected it was well known that tho provision that they should be applied to the payment of the rebellion losses was made as a premeditated insult to Protestants, and they should never cease until that insult has been swept off tho Statute book.Mr.MoVICAR said that the law was sufficient to prevent clandestine marriages ^ and lie did not see how lie could improve1 it.No minister, by law, can marry any pair, unless one of the parties lives in tho district, and he believed if the amendment were made it would compel the issuer of licences to exercise greater care.Dr.IRVING thought the Government fee for license should be done away with altogether, and that the Protestants should be put on the same footing as Roman Catholics.He urged the adoption of a clause to (his effect in (he report.It being one o\u2019clock the Court adjourned.Report to be made at the next meeting of Synod.\u2014Carried; The Moderator named Rev.James Wliite.Rev.Mr.Moore,Ottawa ; Rev.McKenzie,Rev.Patrick Gray with the Presbytery elders of their respective congregations.The Synod then adjourned.EVENING SEDERUNT.At the opening ot tlie Synod a message was received from the Presbytery cf Montreal in session, asking leave to sit fifteen minutes longer.This was granted.\"The MODERATOR explained that, at the close of tlie last sederunt, they were in a conference which was to be resumed this even- The following votes of thanks then passed the Synod :\u2014To the Trustees of Erskine Church ; to the persons who have so cordially entertained members of this Synod ; to tho G.T.R., Ottawa, Canadian and Richelieu Companies, for they: reduction of fares ; also to Mr.Dougall, for #opies of the Witness.The Conference on religion within the bounds of the Synod, was after this resumed.Some most encouraging results were spoken of, but all the speakers deplored the ignorance of divine things which existed in some parts.They also described the services and means of grace, which had been found most useful to the Church.Among the speakers were Professor AIc-Aricar, Rev.Jas.AVhite, from the Ottawa District ; Rev.Mr.Scott, of Napanee ; Rev.AV.MacLaren, of Belleville ; Rev.Air.Wilson, Kingstone ; Rev.Mr.Steele, Ramsay ; Rev.Mr.AVishard, Madoc.Rev.Prof.McVICAR spoke of Prayer Meetings, Meetings for religious converse, Protracted Meetings, and asked what steps we.ie being taken to add to the ranks of the Ministry, what success Sabbath Schools were meeting with, and whether the Church; really recognized children as baptized.momhers of the Church.Rev.Prof.McVICAR moved, seconded by Rev.Mr.STEELE, moved that a Committee-be appointed to make an Overture anent the: Union with the Church in the Lower Province, and carried, to report at next meeting of Synod.The Moderator appointed the following Committee :\u2014Prof.Ale Vicar, Dr.Irvine, Rev, Mr.AVatson, Huntingdon ; Rev.Mr.Mackie, of Lachoute ; Mr.MacKay, Mr.Aikin, and Mr.Court.Moved by MR.D.MacKAY, seconded by Rev.Mr.Gordon, that however desirable it may be to promote the cause of Temperance by every legitmate means, the Church needs no new authority to what she already has to ensure efficiency and so recommends that no further action in this particular matter by this Synod he taken at present.Moved in amendment by AIR.PATTERSON, seconded by Mr.Cameron, that a standing committee be appointed to watch over tlie subject of Temperance to report at the next meeting of the Synod.The amendment was carried\u201416 for, 5 against.The Moderator appointed the following the committee on Temperance :\u2014Revs.Dr.Taylor, (Convener), N.Patterson, D.Cameron, J.Anderson, T.S.Chambers, and \u2014- Lockhead, with Messrs.Court, Davidson, R.AArilson and Sutherland.The Synod then adjourned to meet in-Ottawa in Alay next.Tuscan, C., Mon- SS ASOONKY.GRAND LODGE FOR

proceedings were read and sustained.Rev.Mr.AVilson presented a dissent from the finding of last Sederunt in dismissing a protest, and appeal by the Presbytery of Kington avert instrumental music, in the congregation of Napanee.A report of Committee on an overture from the Presbytery of Montreal, on tlie appointment of a General Agent for the Home Mission Field of the Province of Quebec was read, recommending that tlie subject he referred to the General Assembly, the Committee believing that it would be inexpedient for one Synod to inaugurate so important] a scheme, as the eftect it was feared would be to disintegrate tlie church\u2019s operations.In discussing the report suggestions were thrown out as to the propriety of establish-¦ ing a Sustentation Fund, and also a certain number of Ministers to explore the different parts of the county to ascertain the wants of ' the people.It was also suggested that instead of ministers going to the sea s\u2019de for health, it would be better for them to hire out to the farmers, so that they could ascertain practically what was needed in the country.The discussion took a very general range.The report was adopted, and tlie following Committee was appointed to consider the overture and report to the meeting at Ottawa :\u2014Revs.AV.Moore, J.Anderson, AV McKenzie and J.M.Gibson, ministers, and Mess ré.A.G.Northrup and Alexander Anderson, Elders.The Synod cordially ap proves ofthe general design of the overture b ' ' ot see its way to employ an agent o\td contemplated, and therefore de- clares to adopt the overture, hut in view oi the peculiarly necessitous condition of the eastern section of the Church, agrees to appoint the Committee to draw up an overture to tlie General Assembly in reference to the steps necessary to secure the more general employment of efficient ordained mission aries for a term of years, under the direction of Presbyteries, in the Homo Mission Field A reference from the Pro sbytery of Brock-ville was read asking advice on tlie question whether the name of tlie Rev.A.Melville, who has placed his name on the roll of probationers, his name having by permission of the bynod been retained on the roll as a minister -without charge, should be permitted to remain on the roll of the Presbytery of Brockville.It was agreed after discussion that the reference from the Presbytery of Brockville be transmitted to the General Assembly.An overture from tho Presbytery of Montreal was read, calling attention of the Synod to the efforts at present being made at Rome for the consolidation and extension of its power and further encroachments on human liberty, and tlie GSoume-nical Council summoned to meet on the 8th of December next at Rome iu furtherance of these objects.The overture holds it to be the duty of the Reformed Churches to watch and to endeavour to neutralise these proceedings.AFTERNOON SEDERUNT.The Synod resumed at 3.20, Rev.Dr.TAYLOR, Moderator, presiling, who constituted the Court with praise, reading and prayer, tho latter by Rev.Mr.LOGHEAD at the request of the Moderator.The fminutes of the forenoon\u2019s sederunt were read and sustained.The consideration of the report on the Marriage Licence Law was resumed by Rev.D.B.McVICAR who deprecated any addition to the demand made in the report presented.Rev.Dr.IRVINE urged that the grievance with respect to the exaction of Government fees should be also brought forward and pressed.Mr.D McKay opposed this, as be thought the proclamation of bans should be more encouraged and insisted on, and that that would put an end to the grievance.After further discussion, Mr.D.McKAY moved, seconded by Mr.COULTHARD, that the report he received, and that the Moderator request the members of the city to bring it before Parliament.Rev.D.H.McVICAR said that nothing could be done with the Government unless they could be made to feel that their office was at stake.It was thus that one great question had been carried, and this was the only way any other, could be gained.Mr.CHARLES BENEDICT, (Elder) after sixty-nine years experience of this country, felt that the present system was very dangerous and should be amended.Rev.Mr.CLARK moved, seconded by Mr.EADIE that the Synod shall not come to iuy decision at present, but enjoin the Committee appointed to prepare a report on the subject, to prosecute their enquiries and mature their views more fully upon it and give in their report at next meeting of Synod.After some further disscussion Mr.McKay\u2019s motion was declared carried.On motion of Rev- AV.B.CLARK,seconded by Rev.Dr, IRVINE, the Rev.ALEXANDER YOUNG was unanimously appointed permanent Clerk of the Synod./ On the item expenses of Syr/ods.Rev.Dr.IRVINE moved, seconded In-Mr.PATTERSON, That a Committee consisting of Mr.D.McKay [convener,] Rev.AV.Maolaren, Rev.T.Chambers and Mr.Northrup, elder, be appointed to devise ways and-means of meeting the expenses of the Synod, and report this evening.Moved in amendment by Rev.Mr.MCLAREN, seconded by Mr.GRAY that to meet the expenses of Synod, the Presbyteries be called upon to raise in such manner as they deem best a sum equal to $2 for each minister on the roll.The amendment was carried, 19 for against.Rev.James AVHITE moved, seconded by Rev.Joseph AVHYTE, that the salary of the Synodlclerk bo $50, exclusive of expenses.In amendment it was moved bp Dr.IRVINE, seconded by Mr.4CLOUTHARD, that the salary of the Synod clerk be $75, and that a Minute Book be furnished to him.The original motion was carried.Moved by Rev.James AVHITE, seconded by Rev.James AVATSON, that a Commit-Rev.AV.B.CLARK supported tlie over- tee be appointed to report on the state of tuvij, and said that the Churçh ef Borne [ RefigiQR within the limits of tlie Synod, Sclsool of Art anil Design- Yesteiday evening the School of Art\tand\tDesign was\tinaugurated, and\tthe\tpreparatory\tmeeting held in the large rooms over Molson\u2019s Bank.The rooms were well filled, a very large number having already enrolled their -names as pupils, the great part of whom were present, as well as friends of the objects which the promoters ofthe School complete.Mr.\tIT.\tBulmeu, President of the Board of Arts and Manufactures took\tthe\tchair and\taddressed the meeting.It had been, he said, the design of the Board for years back to establish such a school, but hitherto without success.He believed they had overcome the obstacles, and had established a schools which he hoped would become one of the great institutions of the country.Schools of this kind had been encouraged ever since the Exhibition of 1852, and if this is ever to became a manufacturing country, encouragement must be extended by the Government to such schools here.Already there had been 84 applicants and more were expected.He explained the different branches to he taught in the school which include Elementary, Free hand and mechanical drawing,Linear perspective, and practical Geometry.The Board had also been anxious to establish classes in practical chemistry, but had been unable to do so from want of funds.Mr.Bulmer set before the young men the fact that the success of the movement depended on themselves.Mr.J.B.Rolland, Arice-President oï the Board, and President of L'Institut des Artisans, after expressing his gratification at the establishment of classes to which lie had long looked forward, and for which he had done all in his power, gave a very able address, pointing out the advantage, and, in fact,necessity of special education for the young men of the country, if it was ever to grow.Principal Dawson referred to the high expectations that had been formed when, nine' years ago, the old Board of Arts had attempted to establish schools of this kind.Avisions were formed of a great Industrial Museum, of a Free Library, of a Gallery of Arts, of specimens of the high art of all nations gathered together and open to all, and the prospect of these things induced the Government to encourage them at the time the Prince of AVales was coming here to erect a gigantic building instead of small temporary rooms they had contemplated.But it was found that Government could only grant them a small annual allowance, not sufficient to meet their requirements, aiid on passing this building some time ago, which w-as not very appropriately called the \u201c Crystal Palace,\u201d and seeing Blondin advertised to exhibit in it, he could not help thinking what a falling off there was, their visions had ended in a poor man walking on a tight rope.He then reviewed the progress that had been made in the arts during the nine years that had elapsed since the period of which he had been speaking.During that time Kensington Schools of Design had been extended, and the Museum had sent abroad collections such as were now before them, to a large number of schools, 300 of these having been established in Great Britain, which were only paid according to the progress of the pupils ascertained after strict examination.Since that time another generation of young men had entered on the business of life in Canada without the advantages such schools would have bestowed, and he trusted this effort would not be as fruitless as tlie last.He regretted that the funds of the Board would not admit of the establishment of classes of Practical Chemistry, a class of such importance that lie thought the young men themselves should club together to bear the expense of having it established.It was for them now to make this effort successful.Unless they were trained this country cannot expect to run in the race successfully with other nations.The future of the great country of Canada depends on what her people know.Her mines, her soil, her manufactures can only be turned to account by the knowledge possessed by Canadians, and it was not enough that a few should have a good education, all should possess a certain amount of.general education, besides the special education, so much wanted here.There ought to be a free library with English and French books on these, subjects, as well, perhaps, as works in other languages open for reference, and which now could not be procured.He urged them to study so as not to be mere machines, but thinking intelligent members of society, and concluded by reference to the career of the founder of Cornell University as an instance of success by one who thought what he was doing, and said that if the pupils did well this session it would give the Board a strong claim oa the Government for assistance.Mr.T.Dumontike addressed the meeting in French, urging the great importance of the schools and the influence they were calculated to have on the prosperity of the

upon what he gives as a quotation from Mr.Young\u2019s speech at Waterloo, viz., \u201c The United States are the largest customers of the Dominion, and for much we have to sell our only customer.\u201d To show who shirked the real issue I reproduce a short extract from Mr.Young\u2019s carefully reported speech, the correctness of which has never been questioned \u201c Thejexport of the forests to the United States last year amounted to $\u20197,252,630, being more than half of the total amount exported or $14,4T1,69\u20197.\"The duty on this item of our exports at 20 per cent amounts to $1,463,157.In other words the timber which we sold last year to the United States at $7,252,630 would have brought $8,751,-787, had there been no duty.Taken altogether, we pay duties to the United States of about $4,000,000, which under a free trade with that country would he so much added to the annual value of the labour of Canada\u2014and this is only a small part of the loss.It may be contended that the abolition of the duties would to that extent lower prices, but this is a mistake, for the great bulk of the articles we have to sell are those which our neighbours must have at whatever value we put on them.\u201d I denied the assertion that we paid the United States duty and exposed the fallacy' of his argument.You see it is his assertion, not mine, that \u201c our neighbours must have our products at whatever value we put on them.\u201d \u201c A Merchant\u201d also stated that there was no pine except ours to supply the American market, and the inference drawn in both cases was that we must pay the United States duty.To me, it seems a more perfect non se-qaitur could not be imagined.In fact the inference should be the very reverse.But the advocates of independence have a perverse way of looking at everything.\u201c A Merchant\u201d has taken a great deal of trouble to prove what was never denied, viz.: the great volume of our export trade to the United States, notwithstanding the duty ; hut instead of this proving, as lie alleges, that we must accept what prices they offer, it seems to me to prove the effect of our products on the United States market.II they can produce only 75 per cent, of the supplies wanted for consumption, and a duty is imposed, the American holder is not so silly as to sell at the old price when everybody is eager to buy until the supply is exhausted, but he at once puts up the price to what the remaining 25 per cent, can be laid down for from abroad, with or without duty, as the case may be.It is this which enables Rings\u201d to make fortunes by purchasing stocks in anticipation of a duty.So sensitive is trade that not only does a duty even in prospective increase values but even discussion as to imposing or remitting duties paralyses trade so long as the uncertainty lasts.The Chinese are in the same position towards the rest of the world in regard to tea that Mr.Young and \u201c A Merchant\u201d say we are to the U.S.with regard to our chief products, but it is a new idea worthy of a free trader that John Chinaman must therefore pay the taxes of the whole world provided the world is only sharp enough to raise its whole revenue by tea duties.In England free trade lias been discussed by the ablest writers of the rvorld, and some things must he supposed to have been settled by their discussions aided and supplemented by actual experience.Mr.Young\u2019s quondam friends assert that the question of free trade has been so settled; but, without admitting that, I may at least claim that the idea of our being able by protective tariffs to assess tne expenses of Government upon tiie subjects of foreign governments has been foreover exploded.At the present moment an, active agitation is springing up in England in favour of protection to manufactures, because the cheaper labour and living of the continent enables the foreign manufacturer to undersell them in their own markets.What a pity some of our new lights are not there to point out to them that they can without raising prices to the consumer, not only relieve their distress but even pay the national debt by heavy duties,, which their foreign rivals will have no option but to pay witli as much grace as possiblo.Really, some arguments are so flimsy that they only require to bo held up to the light to be seen through and through, and to combat sucli is like beating the air, and, as Sam Slick says, kicking against nothing is hard work.Misquoting me or raising false issues does not answer, and I fancy \u201c A Merchant\u201d must see the mistake he has fallen into, unless, indeed his resources are equal to the assertion that the laws ef trade have a different application when we poor Canadians are sellers, from what they have when wo are buyers.Yours, &c., JACOB KALLEPER.Oct.18tli, 1869.0 bush at $1.41 to $1.49 for Winter Red and Western.RYE quiet ; receipts, none.CORN\u2014Market 1c to 2 cts
