(jCUizc, March 9.The House met yestenlay at three, and Mr.I ^framboise, at the request of the Lieutenant-Governor, announced the names of the new Ministry.Yiara ago, it will lie remembered, Mr.Joly had declared that if ever the day carne wh* n h* rfcould be called upon to form a Ministry he would suffer no one connected with the Tannery Land Swap in any way, directly or indirectly, to be joined with him.That promise, in spite of strenuous efforts to make him swerve from it, bas bi en redeemed.There is NOT ONE SINGLE NAME in the new Ministry to which objection can be taken, even by the most captious, on the ground of past misconduct of any description.Two new men, not holding seats in the House at the present time, have been called in, Messrs Lang elier and lioss.Mr.Langeliers claims on the patty are well known, and certainly deserved the recognition they have received-Mr.Ivo«s has all his life through been a staunch Liberal.He is aman c>f mature years and very high standing in his profession, of unimpeachable integrity and honesty of purpose, who will bring to the Ministry all the strength derived from «aim, sound judgment, invincibly Industry courtly manners and high jrerflAnal character! The other members of the Ministry are all men well-known to ibe public, who for the past lew yearabave Ix-en steadily fighting against the sy-s tern of reck lees extravagance puraued by Mr.l>e.E< uchcivillfc and his associates.The first aa-Uimuctnui.t from the new Ministry is certainly an encouraging one : \u201c'('he new Cabinet declare that they abandon the bill the object of which is to impute new taxes; they propose to meet the obligations of the 1\u2019rovince, un i t> carry out the undertakings for the execution of whi< h the public failli lias been pledged, by a system of economy and retrenchment which will reader unnecessary the laying > f new burdens u|»on the people.\u201d The new Ministry further expressed a hope that the Supply Hill and other unobjectionable acts, which were iu an advanced eta 'e, might lie allowed to pais linally.This would have saved the exjiense of an extra session.The Opposition, however, showed a determination to resist every measure proposed for the benefit of the country, ami brought their whole force to bear, adiling a taunting, scoffing ?one reprehensible in the extreme, and unman ly to a degree, as none of the Ministers were in their seats to answer.Of course, when bad taste and braggadocio hip|>ens to lie the order of the day, Mr.Angets is sure to distinguish himself, and he did so yesterday.Never did he appear in better form ; Mr.Church did not seem particularly proud of the figure displayed by bis late confrère, and we can unite sympathi/e with him in the feeling.If Mr.Angers could have seen the difference in the impression made in the gallery by his behavior, and the dignified bearing of the Hon.Mr.La framboise, who opposed Dim, he would have LEARNT A LESSON he would not easily forget, and which might prove useful to him for the balance of his days.Mr.Angers read the communication which i>assed between Mr.l>e Houehen ille and the deutenant-Governor, interlarding them with notes and [comments, taunts and sneers, very much out of place, and of more than questionable taste aud exiiediency.Of course, allow ance must be made for the long-seated enmity the ex-Attoruey-Geueral bear» the Hon.Mr.Ixtcllier, and doubtless the mess of hnnihle pie so ruthlessly ail ministered to him during the last refers still sits heavily on the stomach of the arbitrary little member for Montmorenci, but even these reasons, though they may t a certain extent explain, cannot justify conduct so unusual and unbecoming.Exception w.is taken to a motion made by Mr.Ixtranger, and seconded W Mr.Lynch, on the ground that it embodied a reflection upon and was disrespectful to the Lieutenant-Governor.The Speaker ruled the motion in order, and r,n insolent address was resolved upon, accompanied by a request that it should be forwarded by the Tdeutenant-Governor to the Governor General, the Senate and the House of Commons, We would not be at all surprised nor s >rry b» bear that when it reached the latter gentlemen it received the treatment an Act of Parliament met under Lord Sydenham, which was literally LATEST TELEGRAMS.caulk THL SI LTAN HA I I KIES THF.TUKATY UK PKACK.Constantinople, March ll.-A despatch says the treaty of jH-ace has la-en ratified by the aultan.AN I LTHAMONTANK (\u2019ONspli;

the Government had inaugurated a p< licy at variance with his wishes, and were carrying it through without either his knowledge or consent ; feoliqg and believing that policy to be detrimental to the welfare of the Province, ruinous in its tendency and unconstitutional in the means resorted to to carry it through, he deemed it his duty to exerene tlie prerogative and stop the evil b-fure it had become irreparable.It now remains fur NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL (fly Telegraph /cram Our Oicn CirretpaniUnt.)

gentleman making the motion should show that he had some ground for making the charge.Mr Plumb declined to make a direct charge, and after some disciiH«ion finally put in a motion that he hail been

which pawed immediately.Soon after-wariis the supporters of the Government policy arrived in force and the meeting was declared dissolved.Bradlaugh was cudgelled and lied in a cab.According to the largest estimates the number of |>ersons who attended the demonstration was about-,(XX).They were hustled about the park, and finally ejected by a large and disorderly mob.Sticks were freely used, and several persons, slightly hurt, wer« taken to the hospitals.The mob then separated, going to cheer for L >rd Beaconstield and Musurus Pasha.A large crowd cheered and groaned before Mr.Gladstone's residence.Mr.Gladstone and wife, when going to church, were obliged to take refuge in a friend\u2019s house, where they were e«sorted by the jxdice.Prince Teck was mistaken for Count Schouvalolf, Russian Ambassador, and insulted and hustled by the mob.THE EASTERN QUESTION.TIIK DISCUSSION ON THF, AUSTRIAN WAR CREDIT-GREECE TO RE REPRESENTED AT THE CONFER-BNCE-THK CZAR PACIFIC-THE GRAND DI KE NICHOLAS'S VISIT TO CONSTANTINOPLE A P.A N -DONKD.The statement accompanying the vote for credit, to be submitted to the Delegations, rays \u201c In the pr.-sent position of affairs, it is not impossible the Government might be obliged to take extraordinary measures for the protection of the interests of the monarchy.In this case the Government muit be in a condition to cover expenses, and therefore auks for 60,000,000 florins.It is not proposed to expend this in completing the equipment of the arir.y, hut it is intended to afford the Government the means to ensure the monarchy against danger and surprise.\" Count Andrassy.says : \u2014It is ijuite natural that, in arrangements made during a campaign, nolitical interests are driven to the background by military interests Un 1er such circumstances the interests of Europe and individual States cannot come out scatheless.Public opinion has gone from one extreme to another, but to Congress the situation may appear in a less disquieting aspect.Hues a has repeatedly declared she dr«w the sword not from «\u2022\u2022Ifish motives, bnttoimnr ive the lot of the Christians.We must demun 1 such a limit of the results of war whereby neither our >wn nor European interests will be injured.We must provide the best possible solution, bnt not a mere postponement of questions arising out of the relations of the power*.If the Russian arrangement relative to one-half of Turkey come into force, what will be the proenect of the other half \u2019 To what extent can Turkey be reduced and still retain the chance of continued existence?How guarantee the execution of reforms Such gigantic difficulties only Europe, acting in concert, can surmount.A single state seeking to settle then, at its own good pleasure must b« in a position to reckon with European coalition, which, however, Connt Anuraesy was careful to add, did not exist.It was not Russia's interest to make sacrifices now for things which do not contain within themselves qualities of stability.Conse-quently it was justifiable to hope that the con-great would lead to an agreement.Austria enters the congress to defend Austrian ami European interests.Austria has reserved her whole strength for the moment of the conclusion of peace.She asks a money grant to safeguard her interests against any surprise, not relying upon m-re political arguments when -inepiwer comes fully armed on the scene.Our request is not an act of histility against any power, nor mere idle demmrtration, but an act of precaution.A demand was presented to th- D -legations on Saturday for a grant of .\",720,7110 florins, on account of extraordinary and urgent army and navy requirements.A »ub-cnoimitie« of the Hungarian Delegation diseuse t the hiil f.>r the grant of 60,000,000 florins.Falk, rep «rter of the committee, sai l he coincided in the Government's views, hut as there were rumors of the intended occupation of Bosnia and the Herzego-vina, he deeired guarantees, if action should prove necessary, that Gov.\u2014nmant would im-saedfately se-k the co-operation of the constitutional bodies.Count Andrassy replied, anil the debate wss adjourned until Tuesday.The British representative at Athens informed the Creek Government that Lord Derby sent a despatch to the powers, pr.qiosing that Greece be admitted to the congress.Thu caused great satisfaction in Athens The troopship \u201c Euphrates,\u201d detained at La Valletta, Maltsi, with 1,0(X) soldier*, sailed for home, and the \u2022\u2018Herapis,\u2019\u2019 outward-bound, proceeded to her destination.A V ieuna despatch to London states that Connt Andraesy, answering questions in the sub-committee rf the Hungarian Delegates, disclaimed any intention of occupying or annexing Bosnia, but did not deny that event* might cause an alteration of policy.The general im I're*«k>T is that the situation is more reassuring than many previously believed it would !>e.A Vienna correspondent is fully persuaded the vote wtii rase the Delegations within a week.A 81.iStsrsburg special to Ismdon says the general impression produced by the Czar's remarks ah his reception on Sunday of the diplomatic corps is decidsdly pacific.A San dtsian > special says It is stated that Keouf Paiba will usk the remisiiion of the 300,(XX),000 of the in iltmidty.Tin- SulUn lisa ratified the treaty.It L iv|Hiit«d that thi' lu-d clause is t the ctfcct that Ituraia and Turkey will regard the treaty as tohtbiirr, implying that tln-y will not ricog-mis the right of any p >wer to interfere with th -terms, except as regar.ls the question of th -Straits and settlement of the b mud tries of hlobUiicgio.A Vienna despatch to Isindtiri announce* that t in early and cold, and the winter of 1878-70 will h-*, as I have before forecast, severely cold, 1 ut with comparatively little précipita* ti n.Why early impressions of approaching season* i I have found in most Instances tuba nearer to

the present general outline for the remainder of the year witli a considerable degree of confidence.Hknry G.Vrnnok.PtowiNfl Under Watir \u2014During the past summei we witnessed deep sea plowing in the harbor of Belfast.Me.The bottom of the bay is covered with a tenacious, clayey deposit, into which the steam shovel penetrate* with difficulty, and to loosen it a huge Michigan plow wa* set to work under the water, drawn by steam jsiwer on the shore, using a wire rope to form connections.The water at high tide was about twenty feet deep when the plow was working.The man that held it was euca*ed in the diver\u2019s armor, and supplied with air by a flexible tub» connecting with an air-pump on hoard of a vessel floating above.He came up at our request, and after removing his air tight helmet and conversing a few moments, was again put in conuecti in with the pump, and disappearing under water went on with the plowing.This to us wa* a novel proceeding, and so far aF*wo can learn, it was the first experiment of the kind ever made.\u2014Rosfon Journal of Lhtmiltrii.The Demand in Germany and England for specimen* \"t the Colorado beetle is so large that an artificial supply has been

regards the question of the .Straits and the settlement of Montenegro\u2019s 1 oundaries.This leaves [tositi vely nothing to be decided hy the conference, and if this pwition L sustained the probable

Russian ambassador, mob Mr.Gladstone,and to cheer for Lord I\u2019.eaconstield, to whom such expressions of loyalty must have been grateful indeed, and Mustmis Pa-ha, who must have been touched by their sympathy.All this was done on .Sunday.Prince Teck.who was taken for Count Schouvaloff, was hustled hy the mob.Mr.and Mrs.Gladstone, on their way to chun h were forced to take refuge in a

Consolidated Statutes of Canada, provides for mu-nicipalities borrowing money for public improvement* from th«- Municipal Loan Fund, and for J the issue of debentures aud the collection of the interest ami sinking fund.The loan and its conditions had t be accepted by a vote of the j>eo-ple.The other Act, 3ti Y\u2019ic., chap.47 of Onta rio, distributes the provincial surphu among the municipalities of that Province, and provides that where the indebtedness to the Loan Fund (under chap.NJ above referred to) ex :eeded their share of the surplus, new debentures should be issued for the smaller amount an 1 take the place of the oJd ones, and be collected in the saiue way.None of these municipalities disputed their indebtedness, aud the second Act relieved them of a large portion of their debt.So far from usurping the functions of the Courts as the Quebec Rill does, Sectiou 22 of the Onta rio Act expressly provides that the trustees shall have the jiower to bring suits or take proceedings at law or in equity to enforce their rights.Neither of the Act* makes auy provision not expressly accepted by the municipalities.Mr.De Boucherville might to have cited the Barba does Act of 1710, referred to by m a few days ago, as we believe he will not 6nd another parallel case.Rut wo presume the fact that His Majesty dis-allowed this bill, and the scathing words of

That'H the best place for you.'' Hut Marie, without heeding what her mother was saying, drew her arm strongly on that of young Sylvester and led him into the parlor, where she seated him in one of the eu«y-< hairs.The odor was still absent from her fare.\u201c Well, this is comfortable !\u201d ejaculated the young man, in a maudlin way, as he laid himself back against the cushion».\u201c Hut, blame it all ! What's the matter?What\u2019s up?You look as if you'd both seen a ghost.\u201d Marie did not answer.\u201c Where's Horace'r Ishe jolly?Had a splendid time this afternoon ! \u201d \u201cWhere is Horace 'r \u201d asked Mrs.Lyman, steading her voice as she spoke, that she might not betray the keen anxiety Sylvester\u2019s r >-mark bad occasioned.» Who ; What ?\" \u201cHorace: Were you and he together this afternoon i \u201d Home thin g in Mrs.Lyman's voice had reached the young man\u2019s dull perception and put him on his guard.\u201cNotas I know.Horace?Let mo see.Ii-n't he at home ?*\u2019 \u201c No.\u201d \u201c Isn\u2019t at home 'r Ha !

' The mother lai 1 her Laud on herdauuhter's arm.\u201c Come! \u201d As she spoke «he made an effort to indu c her to rise.Mario yielded and going with her mother, went up-stairs to her own room, where Mr*.Lyman left her and returned to the parlor.She found Sylvester sleeping heavily.It was then that she first beckoned her husband from the office, and made him acquainted with the state of affairs.When she return l to Marie's room, she round he- sitting just as she had left her, still and motionless as though but a lifeless image.After vainly trying to arouse her to some respons\", Mr Lyman grew alarmed, and called her Ir.Mbau l again.The father\u2019s efforts, as we have seen, were no mi re availing.Mrs.Lyman now endeavored to remove her clothing, and get her upon the bed.Hut at this she made rrdistance, saying, \u201c Won\u2019t you let me alone, mother?\u201d H*r veil e was dull and low.Distressed and bewildered, Mrs.Lyman sUv d irresolute for awhile, and then went from the room.She had scarcely closed the door Is hind her, when she heard the key turned on the inner side.For over two hours the ycung mau slept hi'»vily.At the end of this time he awoke, the i fleet of what hi- had been drinking nearly gone.He saw no one but Mr.Lyman, who talked to him with great plainness anil severity, ending with the declaration that until there was nn entire chance in his habits, he must consider his engagement with Murie suspended.Deeply humiliated, Sylvester returned home, resolving to be more upon his guard in future.In a day or two he called to s e Marie but, under instruction from Mr.and Mrs Lyman, the servant ref used to admit him.These things were soon noised abroad, and be-came a staple of goMÛp in all the town.Marie Lyman was not a weak girl.After the first shock of this humiliating atfair wits over, and she had time to recover, she drew about herself so close a veil of silence and reserve that even her mother was in some doubt as to thereat state of her feelings.To no remark* about her lover that occurred in the home circle did she make any response : and hiti-sand royal societies nurse it.Llegant literature damUc* it.Poetry sings it.The arieuia* j.iy tribut toit.Fashion coquets with it.Philosophy ciouns it.Wealth builds temples to it.Philanthropy and liU rty bring inoenso to it from afar.Even to the friend* of Christ P seems us if everything were going against tin m.Society seem* to have run ma l with unbelief.What was Pari* in 17 \u2022 and again in 1K71, but one vast lunatic asylum of unbelievers ?At sm h times, to worldly wisdom it.is the right thing to prophesy the spe -dy extinction of Christianity.The history of the avowed enemies of Christ is characterized by the certainty, the suddenness, and the unexpected means of their disappointment.Somebody made very short work with Sen-naoherib.One night was time enough to answer his gasconade at the people of God.One verse is all that the historian think* necessary to toll tho story, \u201cThe Lord sent an angel which out off all tho mighty men of valor.\u201d One angel of tho Lord was a match for the Assyrian battalions.The mighty men wore not looking for anoh a roinforcemont to their enemy.That is tho last thing they dreamed of.That destroying angel, be it a pestilence or a storm, or a miraculous apparition, was tho \u201c Angel of Death\u201d to a hundred and eighty-five thousand of the Assyrian hosts before morning.The fame ot that mysterious event spread quickly around tho world.It becamo the symbol of all sudden national deliverances.It lives than io our own times.Isaiah\u2019s triumphant description of it is read every year in the churches of Moscow, on the anniversary of tho salvation of tho Russian Empire by the celebrated retreat of the French army in 1815.\u201cThe opening watchword of the Judean song of triumph, God is our refugo and strength,\u201d has furnished the inscription over the greatest of Eastern churches in Constantinople.It is the foundation, too, of the noblest national hvnm in Western Europe\u2014 Luther's far-famed \u201c Ein\u2019 festo Burgist miser Gott.\u201d An English poet ha* celebrated the event in words so full of the old Hebrew -pint as to deserve citation here : The Awyiiaa entnedown like a wolf on the fold.Ami Ins cohort* w ere gleaming in purple anil gold : Like tt.i' leave* of the forest when summer is green, That host with their banners at »uuset weru seen.I ike the leaves of the furc-t when autumn hath blown, \u2019I hat host on the morrow lay witnerod and strewn, h er the Angel of I tenth spread hi* wings on the blast.And breathed in the face of the foe us he passed.And ti e eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill.And their hearts bnt once heaved and foreu r grew still ! And there lay the steed with In* nostril all wide, but through it there rolled not tbeoreath of his prld e.And the tenu were nil silent, tho banners alone.The lances unliflcd.the trumpet unblown : And the might of theOentilc, unsmote by the sword, Hath melted like snow at the glance of the Izird.The history of our religion develops often a similar phenomenon in God\u2019s dealings with its avowed and boastful enemies.They arc sure to he disappointed in the re»u!t.Something keeps Christianity alive to-day centurie* after ; hy tho logic of it* foes, it ought to have been dead and buried.Something makes it grow and thrive.It never had a deeper hold upon the world\u2019s faith than now.Never before did its friend* look out upon a more resplendent future.Often the local triumph* of onr religion occur suddenly.A revival of religion changes tho mood of a community in a month.Corrupt institution* like slavery fall suddenly, and by unlookt d-for agencies.Times of apparent decline of religion are often time* of preparation, in which great principle* are secretly taking root ; and at length they start up and grow a* acknowledged powers of Christian truth.The visible progress of our religion in tho world is commonly hy sudden leaps and revolutionary hnngcn.A single angel from tho living God works out results at whieh both friends and enemies of truth stand amazed.\u2014 Trof.1\u2019htlp*, in S.S\u2019 Time» tAbrutyrd).LIGHT ON THE DAILY PATH.MARCH 11.I w ill uot fail thee, nor forsake thee.There failed not ought of any good thing whieh the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel ; all came to pass.God is not n man that ho should lio; iicither thc son of man, that he should repent : hath ho said, and shall he not do it ?or hath ho spoken, and shall ho not make it good ?The Izird thy Oisl, He is God, the faithful God, which keepoth covenant and merry with them that love Him.\u2014He w ill ever be mindful of his covenant.Can a woman forget her suckling child, that she should uot have compassion on the son of lier womb?yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.Behold, I havo graven thee npon the palms of my hand*.The Lord thy God in tho midst of thro is mighty ; He will save, He will rejoice over thee with joy, He will rest in His love, Hw will joy over thro with singing.Joi.1.5 \u2014Ins.21.45.\u2014Nu.23.1!>\u2014TV.7.9.-r».111.5.-1».4U.15.lO.-Zi't».3.17.SELECTIONS.\u2014\tThem pottery things is resl nice.Mild Mr».Veneering.Mr ami my ilsnghter Marls have got the rage, you know, amt buy all we kin git.Hut what on earth 1» they inteuilrd for 1 \u2014\tOne of our young men, when he marri (id, didn't want to patrouimi the baker, lie «aid bread tustod ever *o mnch better nisde by her dear hinds.This delighted her.But wbrn she wanted n erntH' of vmil, mid ho luggrated that alie get it.os the tire would feet so much better If the coal was brought hy her dear bauds, she wa« dix^ustod.Women ore s* changeable.\\ l .\u2019I.rillioi lilt il KL if* can tm bad a all ilto principal (jruid Trunk lta > a ai I !.Vcl l>'b«.< l.i \u2022 inudit.l-or Freight .r l*a*«s s< .prlv \u2014In Hui r- 11 II.OI.NP It.ST.M.A DAI ill s.«t C.HRtiWN lu IVnla lull.URN K.ISTALi I.Al.ZiH b.Lo K ed'UnutUlie.In Hamburg, t M O.\\Y.MOI I.KU.I i B ->! au»,Me sr*.t l ItltlK i |, , 'ti hsi \u2022 I' M.Ko!
