crossing the 16e at Longueuil, n Mr.Dougall, from Upper Canude fell through und would undoubtedly have perished, but for the intervention of Mr.Gundiack of the St.L.& A.Railroad, who seeing the

the 13th inst., in Mer.Russell's factory, (Lhe operations of which had only recently been recommenced, the building having been desiroyed by fire about three years sinec) Mrs, and Miss Russell, accompanied by two other ledics, were going over the building tv examine the work, when, on entering the Water Wheel-house, Miss Russell's dress was csught by some of the gearing, and her left arm was injured in n dread.fal manner.Medical ard was called in, end an amputation \u2018was found lv be necessary.This was accordingly performed, two and » hail inches above the elbow, by Doclurs Craigie and Dallon, We are informed that the en- fortunate young lady bore the operation with very great fortitude.Mr.Rus weli\u2019s trials within (he last (cw years have been great, us we learn he first lost both his hands, near Lachine ; and then had his factory burned down ; while is only daughter was deprived of an scm.Resuer in Urrsa Canaba,\u2014We now give returns from forty Upper Canadian cunstitycacies ; fiom twenty, Refurm Candidates have been returned, and twenty have seni Conservatives.® * One principle feature in the result, iz the number of new men who have been chosen as representatives, those who have never been returned before, and some others of whom the people generaily never heard before.Eighteen of the representatives belong to these classes, the others had seats on furmer occasions.Anolber Prominent feature is Lhe number of lawyers who have been turned out and ce-plueed by members of other trades or professions.Norfulk, Cornwall, Toronto, Grenville, Byiown, Hurun, London, Nuribumberland, South York, North York, East York, Middlesez, 2nd Brockville have ali struck hesvy blows at the gentlemen of lhe Jaw.® © We think chat the peuple muy now stop their oulery that the lawyers are 100 numerous, for only ten of the members returned are of the profession, and in the two counties yet to be heard from, only one luwyer is a candidate.EF the country does nut prosper during the next four years, let not the coste-suffering.farmer ary oul against the lawyers.A prominent feature in the result is the defeat of the majority of the Tory leaders and the introduction of new men tu Lake up their positions.Cameron, Cayley, Sherwood of \u2018I'crontn, Sherwood of Brockville, havo been leit out, snd prominent men to replace them, we have John W.Gamble, George Crawford, and Thomus Street.8 * We believoithas boen generally rematked by those who have been engaged in the contest, that there is a great increase in the liberality uf the opinions vf the people.In many of the Counties, the Tory Candidates have professed the moat liberal inciples.® * * We have oflen referred Lo the influence of the Ruman Catholics on this election, and there is another f of ite fatal offect in the defeat of Messrs.Notman, Hell and Wilson\u2014These three gentiemen were interrogated by the Catholic Institutes in the neighborhnnd of their constituencies, on Lhe subject of Buctarian School ot less on the subject.\u2018The consequence is defeated, and though we regret the lom of Mr.Notman and Mr.Hall very dcr we can only look upon it as the result of their time-serving policy.Me, Ferguseun was the only other gentleman ao interrogated, and he was the only oue who cosaped.We louk upon these lossos as a proof that the Reformers are sound on the subject of Sectarian Schuols\u2014that they wilt brouk no sacrifice of the principle of religious equality in Lheis representatives.\u2014 Toronto Globe, GREAT BRITAIN AND THE CONTINENT.Tue Tims*

honester cnthusissm on the part of the people.Kossuth, the exile, had a receplion in the commercial capital of America such as would have greeted no other European, nor even any living American.It was genuine, Loo, and & Lribute not only fo the personal magnetism exercised hy hie carcer and character, not only tu the courage, heroism and misfurtunce of his nation, but to the cause and the

that thoroughfare, av far as the eye could see, was alive with human beings, and, amidst the waving of handkercluefs, by as beautiful an army of the [air sex as couid be witnessed, who wers most enthusiastic in their applause, the guest of our city passed onward.Many who have witnessed similar exhibitions of enthusasin from Lho time of La Fayelte\u2019s arrival here said that the present surpassed all.Kossuth returned the greetings he received with the grace snd dignity that cheracterizes all his movements, and seemed the least int in the pageant, but he was evidently in weak health, and still felt the dizziness usual after a long voyage.The whole of the ministers of the Brookiyn Presbytery were introduced to the Magyar by Dr.Coa, who read an address to him, The Methodist clergy of the city also paid him a visit last week, headed by the venerable Dr.Bangs, and were well received.The Lutheran clergy alw waited un him\u2014be being « member of that commanion\u2014lo whom, among

generous aid for the restoration of my native land to ils sovercign independence, already as granted in principle, and for me nothing left 10 do, but to enter into a negotiation about the arrangement of the details, wete my con- dent ho) t checked by that ides of non-interference in foreign, chiefly European, affairs, which according 10 the numerous testi-! monials of your most distinguished politicians, we are told lo be; one of the ruling and lasting principles of the policy of the United States.1 highly respect the source of this conviction, gentlemen.This source is your religious attuchment to the docuines of those great men who highly proved to all posterity their wisdom by bequeathing to you the immortal wok of the constitution, which, aided by the unparalleled benefits of nature, bas raised you, in the short period of seventy-five yeas, ftum the precarious position of an infant people, to the prodigious strength of a giant nati lt 15, therefore, natural that the dear legacy of those greal men.And as to your glorious Constitution, all humanity can only wish, in the common interest of mankind, that you aud your posterity may yet long conserve this religious attachment to its fundamental principles, which by no means exclude development and progress; and that every citizen of your great Union, thanklully acknowledges ing the immetise benefits of this Constitution, may, even in the moments of the most passionate irritation, never forget to love that Conetitution more than the momentary passion of the heart, or the egotistical interest of the passing hour, May every citizen of your glorious country forever remember, that a partial discomfort of a corner, in a large, sure and comfortable house, may be well amended without breaking the foundation of it; and that amongst all possible means of getting rid of that comner*s pastial discomfort, the worst would be to burn down the house with our own hands.But while I thus acknowledge the wisdom of your atiachment to the fundamental doctrines of ihe lounders of your Republic, | beg leave with equal frankness, to state, hat iu my opinion, there can be scarcely an: thing more dangetvus to the progressive development of whatever nation than to take for a basis that which is none\u2014to take for a principle that which is but the convenience of the prssing siluation\u2014 to take for substantial that which is accidental, or take for a constitutional doctrine that which war but the momentary exigency of administrative policy.Such à course of action would be like to that when a healthy nan would refuse to take substantial food, because, when he was once laboring under weakness of stomach, his physician ordered him a severe diet to keep.The consequence would be consumption\u2014 death.Let me suppose, genllemen, that yonder doctrine of uon-interfer.ence was really bequeathed to you by your Washington\u2014and that it was not | will prove to you afterwards,\u2014and let me even suppose that your Washington imparted such a meaning to yonder supposed doctrine,\u2014which were equivalent to the words of Cain\u2014% Am J my brother's keeper\u201d\u2019\u2014which supposition would be of course sacrilege.But suppose all this.And I believe that, even under such supposition I may be entitled to ask\u2014is the dress which well suited the child, still convenient to the full-grown man?Would it not be ridiculous to lay the giant in the child\u2019s cradle, and to sing him to sleep by a lullaby ?À those times, you were an infant people.But now you are so far grown that there is no foreign power on earth from whic you have waything to fear for your own existence,\u2014for your own security.You bLave entered into the second stadium of political existence, the destination of which is not only to exist for yourself exciu- sively, but to exist as a member of the great buman family of nations.A nation may be in the situation, either by à comparative weakness, or by choice and policy, as Japan and China, or by both these motives, as Paraguay, under De Francia, to live a life secluded from the world, indifferent to the doctrines of mankind, in which it cannot or will not have any share ; but then it must also be prepared to become also excluded from the benefits of progress, ci tion, and national intercourse.Such a nation may well sn don\u2019t care about the fate of whatever other nations there may in the world.\u201d But I am sure no citizen of the United States has, or ever will have, the wish to see this country degraded to the rotting vegetation of Paraguay, or the mummy existence of Japan and China! But, if there were even a will to live such a mummy life, there were no possibility to do so! The glorious Republic of the United States must fec] resolved to be a power on earth\u2014a power among the nations ; of else itself would be doomed (o continued decay, and soon cease to be great, glorious and free.You are a pewer on earth.You must be a power on earth.You cannot allow that any power whatever should dispose of the fate of.that great family of mankind of which you are such a prominent member; of else you would tesign your proud position, and resign your stilt prouder future, and be a power on earth no more.It is a beautiful word of Montesquieu that republics are to be founded en virtue.And you know that virtue, as sanctioned by our Christian religion, is but the effective exercise of a principle\u2014« Thou shalt do to others, as thou desirest utbers 10 do to thee.\u201d Then your infant Republic, composed of thirtesn States, was restricted to the borders of the Atlantic, now your giant Republic spreads to the Gulf of Mexico, the Pacific, and your territory is a world.Your right hand reaches Europe over the waves, while your left band resches over the Pacific, the East to Asia ; and then, in the midst of two great continents, there you stand, in proud immensity, yes, à world yourself.And I stand bere before Jou to plead the cause of oppressed huma ity,\u20141 resolutely declare that tere may perhaps never again com time when the elevation of your policy to the high level of principles jdentified with liberty, could prove either more glorious to you, or mort beneficial to humanity ; because we in Europe are apparently où the eve of (bat day when either the hopes or the fears of oppressed nations will be crushed for a long time, .(He then shows that though Washington recommended nestrality, as between States at war, he had no where recommended mere intervention to save an independent State from being blotted out by foreign interference.) ; I will go farther, and state that even this policy of neutrality Washington taught you, not as a permanent rule, but as a temporary conten I prove again by referring to the very wards of bis Far Address, when be, in teferones to his policy of neutrality, explicitly says, that ss with him (Washington?a predominant motive has been to endeavour to gain time to your country to seltle and mature its institutions, and to progress without interruption to that degree of strength and consistency which is necessary to give it the command of its own fortunes.\u201d Le : These are highly memorable words, ground ; and casting a glance of admiration o our glorious land, I confidently ask you, geotlemen, are your institutions settled and matured, or sre they not?Are you, or are you not, coms to that de- gee 4 strengih and comsistency to be tbe master of your own for- lunes Oh, my God! how 1 thank thee for having given me the glorious view of (his couatry\u2019s greatness, which answers this question me ! Yes, you bave atfained thet degree of strength and, consistency, when your less fortunate brethren meokind may well elaim your | profest'ag band.nileman.\u2014 Here I take my \u2018I'HE MONTREAL WITNESS.December 1851 And here 1 stand before you\u2014to plead the cause of these your lew foitunate brethres\u2014ihe cause of humanity, | may succeed or | ma; fail.But I will go on, pleading with that faith of wnartyrs, by whie mouniains were muved ; and | may displease Jou, perhaps, still Iwill say with Luther\u2014«May God help me, I can no otherwise.\u201d 1 will only recall to your memory the inessage of PreriJent Monroe, when he clearly stated that the United States would take up arms to protect the American Spanish Colonies, now free Republics, should the so-called Holy (rather unholy) Alliance make an attempt either to aid Spain to reduce the new American Republics to their ancient colonial state, or to compel them to adopt palitical systems more conformable to the policy and views of that Alliance.1 entreat you to mark well, gentlemen, not ouly the fotced introduction of monarehical ovelnulents, but in general the terence of foreign powers in the contest for independence of the Spanish Colonies, was declar | ficient motive fur the United States to protect the natural right of those nations (¢ dispose of themselves, 1 1 beg leave to desire you lo remembar that this declaration of Pre- _sident Monroe was not only approved amd conficmed by the people of the United States, dut that Great Britain itself joined the United States in the declaration of this decision and this policy.It is trae, that this declaration to go even to war, to protect the independence of fo 1 states against foreign interference, was nol only Jou feel an instinctive fear to touch, even with improving hands, restricted to the Continent of America, hut President Monroe declares | \u20ac jin us message that the United States can have no concern in European struzgles being distant and sepatated from Europe by ihe great Atlan- jue Ocean.But | bey leave to remark that this indiflerence to Eu- sopean concerns is again a walter, not of principl.but of temporary exigency, \u2014ihe motives of which bave, by the lapse of time, entirely disappeared.i President Monroe mentions distance as a motive ol the above stated \u2018distinctions Well, since the pic gious development of your Fulton\u2019 glorious inventions, distance is biotted out of (he dictionary,\u2014or \u201csæiber replaced by tbe word lime.Bu, let even the word distance be taken in nominal sense\u2014 E.urope is nearer to you than the greatest |nart of the American Continent, yea, even neater than perhaps some (parts of your own territory.President Monroe\u2019s second molive is, that you are separated from Europe by the Atluotic.\u2014 Now, at the present time, and in the present reondition of navigation, the Atlantic is no separation, but rather a con- { necting benetit, Etis chicfly in New York that I feel induced to speak so,\u2014hecause New York is by innumerable ties counerted with Eusope,\u2014 more con- \u2018nected than several parts of Europe itself.; It is the agricultural interest of this great country, which chiefly 1 wants an outlet, and a market.Now it is far more Euivpe than the American Continent to which you have to look in that respect, This very circumstance cannot allow you to remain indifferent to the fate of freedum un the Euiopean Continent, because, be sure gentlemen, and lut me have spoken this chiefly to the gentlemen of trade, should absolutism gain ground in Europe, it will\u2014it must\u2014make every possible obstacle to the commercial intercaurse of Republican Ameuca, because commercial intercourse is the most powerful locomotive of principles : and be sure the victory of sbsolutism on the European Continent will in no quarter have more injurious national consequences, than in the vast extent of your agricultural and commercial interests, Then why not prevent it\u2014while yet there is a possibility to do so.Even in political considerations, now-a-days, you have stronger motives to feel interested in the fate of Europe than even the fale of the Central or Southern parts of America.the institutions of these parts, you are loo powerful to see your own institations affected by it.But let Euro Pecome absolutistical, and your children will see these words, which your National Government spoke in 1827, fulfilled on a larger scale than they were meant, that Whatever may happen in human freedom had been vbliteraled even here.\u201d And oh do not rely toa fondly upon your power.It is great, to be sure.You have not to fear whalever single power on earth ; but look to history.Ancient Rome has fallen, and mighty empires bave vanished from earth.Let not the enemies of freedom grow too strong.Victorious over Europe, and then united they would be too strong even for you! And be sure, they hate you with an infernal hatred.They must hate you even more than me.They consider you as their most dangerous opponents.Absolutism cannot tranquilly sleep while the Republican principle has such a mighty representative as your country is.Yes, genllemen : it was the fear from the political reaction of Abso- lutistic principles which induced your great statesmen\u2014that principle which (hey professed for Central and Southern America, not to extend to Eurcpe also.Europe\u2019s nations were, about 1823, in such a degraded situation, that indeed you must have felt anxious not to come into any political contact with that pestilential atmosphere of Europe, when, as Mr.Clay said in 1818, in his speech about the Emancipation of South America, « Paris was transferred to St.Petersburgh.\u201d (The Speaker here continues a masterly sketch of the subsequent Foreign Policy of the United States.) And, really, so itis.The unexampled, immense, prodigious sympathy for the ca f my country, which I met with in the United States; proves that it is vo.Your general interference with the Turkish captivity of the Governor of Hungary proves that it is so.I have a good, I have the most decisive authority to reiy upon, in saying so.It is the message of the President of the United States, His Excellency Millard Fillmore, communicated to the Congress a few days There I read the paragraph\u2014 The deep interest which free governments, and the sympathy with which we wiiness every struggle against oppression, forbid (hat we should be indifferent lo a case in which the strong arm of a foreign power is invoked to slifie ublic sentiment, and repress the spisit of freedom in any country.\u201d s that principle meant?Indeed, I confess that it would be the most impertinent ontrage toward your great people and your National Government, to entertain the offending opinion that what the people of the United States and its National Government, in such a solemn diplomatic manner profess to be à ruling principle of your policy, should not be meant but as a joke abont the most sacred interests of humanity, You will excuse me, gentlemen, for having dwelt se long about that principle of noninterference with Ecropean measures; and as, in one speech, I of| course, cannot exhanat the whole mighty complex of my mission, I choose for the present opportunity to develope my views about that fundamental principle of not caring about European concerns ; and having shown not theoretically, but ically, it is a mistake to think that you bad, at whatever tims, entertained such a policy, you bad abandoned it, and were forced by circumstances lo abandon it, It remains now to investigate, is the cause of Hungary such as to have just claims to your active and operative assistance and support?It in highly gratifying to me to see the cause of Hungary is\u2014except some ridiculous mistepresentations of ill-will\u2014correctly understood here.I will only state one fact, and (hat is, that our endeavoutings for independence were crushed down by the armed interference of a foreign despotic power\u2014the principle of all evil on earth\u2014Russia.Aud stating this fact, 1 will not again intrude upon you with my own views, but recall to your memory the doctrines established by your government under which it conceives it can live most happy, end that no government ought to interfere with the internal concerns of another.\u201d Here I take my ground\u2014I take my ground upon a principle of Wushington\u2014 à principle, and ro doctrice of temporary policy, cal- colated for the first twenty years of your infancy.Russia has interfered with the interual concerns Hungary, and by doi violated the policies of the United States, established as peinsiple by Washington himself, Itis a lasting principle\u2014I would « the absolutism of Europe will not be appeased until every vestige of we feel in the spread of liberal principles, and the establishment of er invoke in my support the opinion of every statesman of tbe United States, of svary party, of every time\u2014but to save lime, I come fram the first President of the United States at once to the Jast, and recall to your memory this word of the present Avnual Message of His Excellency President Fillmore, * Let every people choose Er itself, and make and its political institutions to suit ils own condition and convenience.\u201d I beg leave to quote your present Secretary of State, Mr.Webster\u2019s statement, who in peech an the Greek question speaks so\u2014« The law of nations maintaine that in extreme cases, resistance is lawfui, and that one nation has no right to interfere in the affairs of another.\u201d Welt, that precisely is the ground upon which we Hungarians stand.\u2014But | may perhaps weet the objection\u20141 am sorry to suy | have met it already\u2014#% well, we own that it has been violated by Russia in the case of Hungary, but after all, what is Hungary to us?Let every people take care of itself; what is that to us IY So some speak\u2014it is the old doctrine of private egotism, ¢ every one for himself and God for all.\u201d I will answer the objection, not by my own humble views, but again by the words of Mr.Webster.He thus goes on, * But it may be asked, ¢ What is all thatto us\u201d The question is easily answered.We are oie of the nations, and we as a bation have precisely the same interest in international law as a private individual has in the laws of his country.\u201d You see, gentlemen, [ had sgain a good authority to quote.The principle which your bouorable Secretary of State prolesses, is a principle of eternal truth, But it may be from some quarters avowed, jst Well, we acknowledge the justice of that principle, of every nation\u2019s sovereign right lo acknowledge it to be à law of nations that no foreign power has a right to interfere in the aflairs of another, and we are determined 10 respect this common law of mankind ; but if others do not respect that law, it is not our baniness 10 meddle with them.\u201d Let me answer by analysis: ¢ Every nation has some interest in (be international career, as a private individual bas in the law of his country\u201d That is un acknuwledged principle of the Uniled Stales.Consequently, every nation is in respect to inlernational law, precisely in the tame condition as a private individual is in respect to the laws of his country.Well, where is the condition of a private individual in respect to the laws ot his country ?t only that he has intended not to violate the law, or is it that so f; in his power be should also prevent others from violating the law ?\u2014Suppose you see (hat a wicked man 1s shout to rob\u2014to murder your neighbor, or to burn his bouse, will ; you wrap yourself in your own virtuous lawtulness, and say, % | don\u2019t 1wb\u2014don\u2019t musder\u2014 don't burn ; but what others do is not my business.| am not my broiher\u2019s keeper.I aympathise wide hun; but [ am not obliged to help him that he may not be robbed, murdered or buin1.®?What honest wan of the world would answerso?Now, what the duty of an individual is in respect to the laws ôf his country, the sume duty has a uation, in respect to international law.The duty has no other limit, but only the power to fulfil it.It was ridiculous when the Priuce of Modena refused to recognise the Government of Louis Philip\u2014but ¢ to whom much is given will much be expected from him,\u201d says the Lord.And every condition has not only its rights, but also its own desires, and any nation in the condition to be a power on earth has the duty to consider ilself as à part of the executive power of waukind called to maintain the law of nations.Woe, a thousand fold woe to bumanity, should there nobody og earth be to maintain the laws of humanity.Woe to humanity, should even those who are mighty as they are free, not feel interested in the maintenance of the laws of mankiod-\u2014because they are laws\u2014but only in so tar as some scanty money interests would desire it.\u2014Woe io humanity, if every despot of the world may dare to trample down the laws of humanity, and no free nation arises to make respected their laws.People of the United States, bumanity expects that your glorious republic will prove to the world, that republics are formed on virlue, it expects to see you the guardians of the laws of humanity.Well, { will come to the last possible objection.1 may be told, You are right in your principles, your cause is just, and you have our sympathy ; but after all we cannot go to war for your country ; ¥e cannot furnish you armies and fleets; we cannot fight your battle for you.There is the rub.Who can exactly tell what would bave been the issue of your own struggle for independence, though your country was in a far happier geographical position than we poor Hungarians, should France have given such an answer to your forefathers in 1778 and 1781, instead of sending to your aid a fleet of thirty- eight men-of-war, and iary troops, and 23,000 muskets, and a loun of nineteen miliions ?and what take for far more than all this, did it not show that France resolved wilh all its power to espouse the cause of your independence ?But, perhaps, I wili be told that France did this not out of love of freedom, but out of hatred against England.Well, let it be ; but let me also ask, shall the cause of olden times\u2014 hatred\u2014be more efficient in the destinies of mankind than love of freedom, principles of justice, and the laws of humanity ?However, I most solemnly declare that it is not my intention to rely literally upon this example.It ix not my wish to entangle the United States in war; or to engage your great people to send out armies and fleets to restore Hungary to its sovereign independence.Nol men, I most solemnly declare that have never entertai tations, such hopes\u2014and here J come 4o the practical ciple of evil in Eur rit of Russian absolu To this Moloch of ambition has fallen a victim my poor nat It is this with which Montalembert threatens the rene Republicans.It is Russian intervention in Hungary which governed French intervention in Rome, and gave the temerity to German tyvants to crush down ull the endeavors for freedom and unity in Germany.The despots of the European continent are leagued against the freedom of the world.That is à matter of fact.The second matter of fact is that the European continent is on the eve of à new revolution.\u2014 Now, suppose that the ambition of Louis Napoleon encouraged by Rus secret aid, awai time (whieh I scarcely believe,) and suppose that there will peaceful solution, such a3 would make contented the friends of the Republic in France, of course the first act of the new French President must be at least, to recall the French troops from Rome.Nobody can doubt that a revolution will follow, if not recede this recall, in Îtaly.Or, if the no peaceful solution in rance, but a revolution, then every man knows that wheaever the heart of France, boils u, , the pulsation is felt throughout Europe, and oppiessed nations once more rise, and Russia again Saterferes.Now, 1'bumbly ask, wilh the view of these circumstances before ny eyes, to await the very outbreak, and then only fo discuss and decide what direction Jou will be willing 10 take in your foreign policy ?Lt may n were sent to seg how matters stood In Russian interference and treason achieved what the sacrilegious paburg dynasty failed hile guntun fell.\u201d But you will, perhaps, object to me that is so much as to go to war.that eflect 7 It is wanted, that being aware of the precarious condi tion of Europe, your national government should, as soon as possible, glish government that the U.States, acknowledging the sovereign right of every nation lo dispose of its own domestie concerns, have, can it be convenient lo such a great power ns this glorious Republi, come again, as under the late President, at u late hour, when agents to achieve.You know the old words, « While Rome debated, Sa- | answer, no, that is e0 much as to prevent war.What is wanted to send instructions to your Minister at London, to declare to the Ea resolved not lo interfere, bus also not to let any foreign power what.own statesmen.Firatly, again l'retura to your great Washington.| ever interfere with this sovereign right, in order to repress t He says in one of his letters 10 Lafayette, ¢ My politica are plain and {of freedom in any country : to deelare that the U.States are resolved: simple.1 think avery nation hess right to establish that form of to act conjointly with England in that decision in the case of that: approaching crisis on the European sontinent, which it is impossible cot to foreses.1 sm sure that you would find the people of Great Britain heartily joining this direction of policy, nobody in the world would feel es;

behold the bug-besr that alone carried the elections.We have cor dence irom almuet all he counties which corroborates the fact, and yet we are told that democracy véffered a gonerel defeat ?== We thank the Minerve for translating and eubmiltiog 10 its resders our article entitled, * Day Dawning on Lower Canada,\u201d at thesame time thet il made remarks on it.The remarks, it ie true, ere severe, though sa our Judgment quite irrelevant, bot tire article is allowed to spesk for iivelf, sud this is ail we can ask or expect.We would, however, teke the liberty of pointing sul (0 our setsmporary that the artisle in question made reference 15, and wee in 8 greet messure based upon, the ideas contained ir en stticls from the Edinburgh Witness, which accompanied it 1n our sheet, and, therefore, we pray the Miners alto to publish that artiele in order that the case, 2 plo believe that the democratic pe may be fairly bofere its readers, and thet they may judge rightesus judgment concerning our Mmulives.\u2014 The Toronto Mirror somplaims loudly that whilst Protestants muy bo elected for Quebec or Montreal, thoro is searcely à constituency in Upper Canada that will return a Catholic.edly is the Mirror's meaning, a thick and thin tol uf the priests, then we It fur Catholic, we read, as undoubt.believe him to state the truth, and we rejoice that it isso.If ho mean «& liberal and independent man professing the Reman Cathwlic faith, then we do not believe his averment.\u2014 The Chureh newspaper rejoices over the fact that the Church Unions have done great seevice during the lute elections in helping to return partisans of the Chureh of England, and, in point of fuct, we believe thoy have been much more successful tian the Roman Catiiolic Institutes.\u2014 The Mercantile Library Avsociation and the Mechanic's Institute bave united for the purpose of having a course of fifleen lectures during the winter, C.Dunkin, Esq., is to deliver the introductory lecture to-morrow evening, (Tuesday), in the Oddfelluws\u2019 Hall, at cight v'clock.Admittance free.\u2014 At a meeting of the friends of eduestion, held in the Mechanics\u2019 Institute on the 23rd inet., tho Bishop of Montreal in the chair, the Rev.Me.MeGili, Dr.Davis, and Win.Luan, Esq., were appointed & committee tu draft a ial to the government, urging the immediate establishment of u Normal School in Lower Canady, and Lo report thereon st a meeting to be held in the same place tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon, nt 3 o'clock.All wiio fel interested in such an institution sre invited to attend.\u2014 We carnesily request every reader of the Witness, young and old, of \"both sexes, to give an aitentive perusal to Kossutl\u2019s speech on our second and third pages.It will well repay the labour.\u2014 A paragraph !nst Monday conveyed the idea that Kossuth had been denvunced in the Freach Parish Church.It wae, however, we understand, in the Reeolleet Church that the sermon to which Lhe current report referred was preached.This church in served, we are informed, by the Jesuits, and frequented by that portion of the French Canadians who are communly called devotes.It was therefore 8 more fitting place fur such « sermon then the Parish Church, where many of the congregation, and let us hope of the priests also, feel deep admiration for patriotirm such su Kosuil's wherever it is found.When speaking of the pricsts of the Parish Church, we may udd, that we have received a letter from a gentleman apparently well informed, who affirms that they took no part against Papineau in the eleetion, and who adduces as proof of tiia the names of four laymen, offi cially connected with the Parish Chorch, who votod for Mr Papineau ; adding, * the fact is, the priests very seldum ask anybody how ha ie going to vote during an election.\u201d That the priests of the Parish Church pursue so wise and proper a course as our correspondent avers, is highly creditable to them, end it gives us much pleusute to publish the statement; nevertheless all that we said about priests, without specifying which, and their female ad.horents, wing their influence against Mr Papineau, and uther liberal candidates, is, we believe, perfeciiy true, though far, very far, from being the whole troth.\u2014 We are sorry to notice, in a Toronto cotemporary, an announcement of a raffle for cakes.This specics of gambling we cannot but regret lo ses so often resorted to by business people, \u2014 The celebrated Henry Clay han retired from public life on account of his advanced age and the feeble and precarious alate of his health.One of the greatest orators America has produced, and a sagacious and patriotic statesman, his name will fill a conspicuous place in the history of his country, although a portion of his countrymen were, and are, strongly opposed to the measures by which he will bo best known to posterity, viz., the two compro mises between South and North.\u2014 The Australasian Bishops recently decided in favor of the doctrme of bap- \\ismnl regeneration, and published the minutes of their decision, wherewpon their clergy also confer together, and * strongly deprecate\u201d he putting forth of any authoritative decision on the subject.They further state that * the introduction by the Bishops of the question of boly baptism into their minutes was uncalled fur and injudicious.\u201d ' Cinsely connected with the foregoing, is a minute relating to * Church wembership,\u201d which is es follows : ; \u201cOn a discussion of the phrase duly baptised,\u2019 it was underalond that the word * duly\u2019 wes intended 10 be explained by the words fulluwing, viz., ¢ with water, in the name of the Father, Sun, sad Holy Ghost,\u2019 and not to refer to the person baptizing.\u201d ; The clorgy of Van Diemen's Land have also taken action in the matter.Their sentiments are embodied in an address tu the Bishop of Taswania, in which, after assuring his lordship of their persunal attachment, they proreed toer their views as follows.: \u201cln ovr judgment the introduction by the Australasian bishops, of the question of Holy Baptiem into their « Minutes,\u2019 is deeply to be d, and the construction put by them upon the * Creed, Articles, and Liturgy, with respect to this subject, would, if imposed.be equivalent to # now article of faith, and the dogmatical determination of à question which has ever been practically considered an open une, virtually narrows the lerms of commu.aion with our Church.\u201d The foregoing Address was put to the vole at s meeting of the clergy in Hobart Town, March 19th, 185], when thirteen voted for it, and eight ion it.Seven other clergymen subsequently put in thei es in favot of the Address, making the majority iwelve.\u2014Church Witness.\u2014 Marshal Soult, one of Napoleon's most distinguished gensrals, aud an eminent Statesman, died un the 361th uit, at St.Armand, in France.Soult, Napoleon, and Wellington were all born in 1769.\u2014 The position of France is a very singular ons.With an impulsive and warlike democracy, whose natural position is antagonism to the tyrannics! governments of Rome, Russia, and Austria, she is setually, by an extrsor.dinary juggle, on their nd Louis Napoleon is the instrument, and universal sulfrage the means, by which these old astute absolutiems wield the democracy of France as their wol.This state of things cannot how- everlast.Louis Napoleon is on Lhe side of universel suffrage juet now, snd wo do not see, afier pronouncing eo strongly in its favor, that he can recede from this position.But universal suffrage must either be eerved or overthrown, Will Louis Napoleon be the servant of the people 7 If m0, good sand well, he will enon be in antagoniem with absolute power, Will he attempt Lo uverthrow it?If so, it appears to us he must be erushed.\u2014 His occupancy of the chief magisiracy is probably just the nesessary counteraction to Legitimacy and Oricaniom, until universal suffrage gains suffi- sient strength to go without his leadingstrings or guardianship.\u2014 In order to make room for Kossulh's great speech, we have transferred the missionery matter given on the last Monday of the month to the sixth i whers also will be found the concluding portion of Lae Herticulturiste article on * Gardening,\u201d &e.It is credited by mistake to the Cultivator.~~ A communioation from that devoted and eloquent pleadsr for the Sab bath, Rev.R.Burns, of Kingston, will be found in another column.We trust the friends of the Lord's day throughout Canada will be on the alert to! furnish the représentatives of the people with earnest and extensively signed appeals to do away with all legal or compulsury desecration of that day,\u2014 What is oor Montreal Sabbath Alliance doing ?= We acknowledge the ressipt of the Report on Education in Lower Canads for 1849-50;

generally of & controversial kind, and invite the penple to their public meetings, at which the Scriptures were read ; and sometimes a very stiff controversy was mised.This he believed was the plan largely adopied by the first Gos.psi preachers, and by the early reformers.While Papists will not listen toa sermon, they are ofien very ready to dispute.\u2018This method had been ver: successful in

but this is a dificult thought to get into an Indian\u2019s mind.That men should do as these missionaries do without some mercenary motive, is entirely beyond their comprehen- ion, The chief made a somewhat sensible reply to my remarks, and said he was anxious to have his people improve their condition and behave well, but some of them were foolish, and would not listen to him.He said he liad but little influence over them, (which is very true,) but would call them all together and give them good counsel ; he said he was anxious to have their children learn the Book, and become vise; but as soon ns they began Lo learn well, they were obliged 10 be oll to get something to eat, and by the time they could go to echool again, it was all lost.If the teachers could only give each child a piece of bread every day, if it was not larger than two fingers, they would all come to school steadily.Sabbath, A.M., the house was well filled, and all present paid good attention.Whether the truth will sink down into their hearts sufficiently deep to take root or not, is uncertain, In the afternoon we had a communion season, It was to me, and trus: to all present, an interesting and profitable season.In the evening, the bell was rung for a third service, and the house was again well filled.The chief and his family were present all day, This people are slow to practice the right when they know if.The general plea is, \u201cIf a few leading ones would only come out first, and pray, they would all pray.\u201d Thus they hang one upon another, none bold enough to be singular, or manly enough to brave public opinion., Aug.13th.1 reached the mission at Red Lake in the evening, sumewhat wearied, having walked the last twelve miles across the portage.I found the missionaries all in comfortable health, This is truly the Eden of northern Minnesota, and decidedly the bestland I have seenany where in the Territory.There are, however, no extensive tract of good land between Lake Superior and the Mississippi rives.Even bere, there is only a nar.fow strip along the margin of the lake, from furty rods to three fourths of a mile in width.Our missionaries have about one and a half acres of wheat, which will yield forty if not forty-five bushels to the acre.They have some of the best rye I ever saw in any country.Their corn also looks finely.Ifthe frost holds ul two weeks longer, it will doubtiess yield from seventy to seventy-five bushels of shelled corn per acre.The potatoes are as fine as any in the world, and romise an abundant crop.They have not been affected at all y the rot, and are much finer flavored than any we get in the States.These Tudiane have what may with some propriety be called fields of corn and potatoes.Many of them have as much as two acres apiece ; and most of their gardens are well hoed, and look well.This band would be well supplied with food, if other bands did not pour in upon them during the fall and winter, to live by begging, and thus conseume theireupplies, Most of the men assist their wives in cultivating their gardens ; but some are not only too indolent to amsist, but give away very liberally what their wives and daughters raise, and then \u2018as soon as spring opens, leave them to live as best they can while raising another crop.One sister in the Church has a busband who never assisis her in gardening.He spends his summers on the plains, where he can riot on Buffalo meat, snd in the winter lives upon the product of his wife's industry.Lent winter he gave away to some of his worthless associates ten bushels of her corn at one time, and in the spring left her to provide for hersel( and children during the summer.They have now to depend siment entirely upon fish for their sustenance.I called upon this sister after my arrival, and found her entirely destitute of food.Having failed to take her usual quantity of fish, she had not a mouthful of any thing for hereelf or children on the Sabbath: yet such wae ber conscientious regard for God\u2019s commandments, that she would not visit her nets oa that day, though she and her lil- Us ones wero obliged to fast through the whole of it, Will pot such rise up in the judgment against Sabbath-desecrating ministers, and professed Christians in civilized lands, and con- dems them ?The old grandmother whom I baptized two years ago is stili living.She is nearly blind, but, so far as [ can Fare: is walking in all the ordinances of the Lord blameless.\u201d She bad heard that ! was coming, and was at the mission awaiting my arrival, She ie the most faithful and constant attendant on the means of grace in the whole band.She often comes without any one to lead her, feeling her way with her staff;

end this hes been going on for upward of | four years.He is quite convinced of the absurdity of the superstitions which had prevailed so long amongst his , and frequently spesks of them as \u201c those toolish things.\u201d The subject on ene occasion happened to be the due observance of the Lord\u2019s day.Eye was much struck by it.It is by the sale of palm oil that he carries on trade with the English merchants, and itso bap.pened that the next market.day fell on the Sabbath.Eyo determined that he would not traffic on tbat day ; and he informed the traders to that effect,\u2014that it was God's palaver day,\u201d and he would not trade on it.They were much annoyed, and endeavored to dissuade him from hie purpose, They told him that he would lose the sale of it, and that henceforward no one would traflic with him; but he was immovable.His mind, however, was much troubled, and could not rest.At last he resolved be would go and tell God about it in prayer.He went on his knees and breathed forth his thoughts.He prayed to God, that as he had kept his palaver day, so he would not suffer his market-day to fail, but so order it that he might sell his oil.It was a simple prayer, for as yet it was only little light thut had entered within hiv mind, and which was aug with the darkness that had so long prevailed thers, The Sabbath was observed ; and no market was held on it; but, on the next market day, such was the demand, that Eyo sold all the oil he had on hand, both old and new, and atill was unable to meet it fully ; and then it was, that, in the fullness of his heart, ho went to Ms, Waddell and, told him all that bad teken pisce, No Sabbath market is now per mitted to be held in Creek Town, and the people have thrown she lives, went away several miles to make sugar.The old Ae away their Ekpongyong, or chief domestic idol.Then, again, I baptized a truly sincere couple living at Parapetty, where they alone profess the Christian name.Although rosuling at least three miles from ony place of Christian worship, yet they have attended the church at Cupananpooram regularly every Sabbath, since they professed themselves Chris- tions, and have always gladly received the catechist whenever he has visited Parapetty ; Leside which, they manifested a great desire to be admitted into the Church, and were well acquainted with the plan of salvation.An old Naik woman of Severly, together with her son, some Vellulars, aud a trulyeincere Pallan youth, of about eighteen years of age, were baptized together.The old woman is, I think, a truly pious person.I believe she is as free from caste notions os any one I have ever met among the natives.The Pallan youth is also one whose sole object, in requesting to be admitted into the church, appeared to be the salvation of his soul.Although of a low caste, his sincerity is so apparent, that even the other members of the Severly congregation treat him with respect, and speak of him as a youth of whose faith there is no doubt.He was led to give up idolatry, and embrace Christianity, from what he had learnt at the mission school.Agriculture and Horticulture, THE STATE AND PROSPECTS OF HORTICULTURE.(Continued, from Cultivator for November.) In ornamental gardening, many and beautilul are the changes of the last few years.Cottages and villas begin to embroider the country in all directions, and the neighborhood of our three or four largest cities begins to vie with the environs of any of the old world capitals in their lovely surroundings of beautitul gardens and grounds.The old and formal style of design, common until within à few yerrs, is almost displaced by a more natural and graceful style of curved lines, and graceful plantations.The taste for ornamental planting has extended so largely, that much as the nurseries bave increased, they are not able to meet the demand for rare trees and shrubs\u2014especially evergreens\u2014so that hundreds of thousands of fine species are annually imported from abroad.Though by no means so favorable a climate for lawns as that of England, ours is a far better one for deciduous trees, and our park and pleasure ground scenery, (if we except evergreens,) is marked even now bya greater variety of fuliage than one easily finds in any other temperate climate.A peculiar feature of what may be called (he scenery of ornamental grounds in this country, at the present moment is as we bave before remarked, to Le found in our rural cemeteries.They vary in size from a few, to three or four hundred acres, and in character from petty shrubberies and pleasure grounds, to wild sylvan groves, or superb parks and pleasure grounds\u2014Iaid out and kept in the highest style of the art of landscape gardening.There is nothing in any part of the world which equals in all respects, at the présent moment, Greenwood Cemetery near Now York\u2014though it has many rivals.We may give some idea of the extent and high keepi of this lovely resting place of the dead, by saying that about three hundred persons were constantly em loyed in the care, improvement and preservation of its grounds this season.The cemetery of the Evergreens, also near New York, Mount Av- burn, at Boston, Laurel Hill at Philadelphia, and the cemeteries of Cincinnati, Albany, Salem, and several others of the larger towns, are scarcely less interesting in many respects\u2014 while all have features of interest and beauty peculiar to thom- selves, From cemeteries we naturally rise to public parks and gardens.As yet our countrymen have almost entirely overlooked the sanitary value and importance of these breathing places for large cities, or the powerful part which they may be made to play in refining, elevating, and affording enjoyment to the peo- le at large.À more rapid and easy communication with urope, is, however, beginning to awaken us to a sense of our vast inferiority in this respect, and the inhabitants of our largest cities are beginning to take a lively interest in the a propria- tion of sufficient space\u2014while space may be obtained, for this beautiful and useful purpose.The government has wisely taken the lead in this movement, by undertaking the improvement, (on a comprehensive plan given by us) of « large piece of public ground\u2014150 acres or more, lying almest in the heart of Washington, A commencement has been made this season and we hope the whole may be completed in the course of three or four years.The plan embraces four or five miles of carriage-drive-walks for pedestrians-ponds of water, fountains and atatues\u2014picturesque groupings of trees and shrubs, and a cotuplete collection of all the trees that belong to North America, It will, if enrried out as it has been undertaken, undoubs- edly give a great impetus to the popular taste in landecs gardening and the culture of ornamental trees; and as the climate of *¥asbington in one peculiarly adepted te this purpose ~\u2014this national park may be made a sylvan museum such as kb would be difficult to equal in beauty and variety fa any part of the world.As a part of the same movement, we must not forget to mention that the city of New York has been empowered by the State legislature to buy 160 acres of land, adsmirably situated in the upper part of the shy, and improve and embellish it for a public park.À similar fésiing is on foot in Philadelphia, where the Gratz estate, and the Loman Hill estate are, we understand, likely to be purchased by the city for this purpose.It is easy to see from these signs of the times, that gardening, both as & practical art and an art of taste\u2014is adrandiog side f, side with the steady and rapid growth of the country\u2014and we ratue late our readers that they live in an age and nation where the whole tendency is vo healthful and beautiful, and where man's destiny seems to grow brighter and better every day. 4 A «a «8 | * : +, 5e > Drcemser 1851 THE MONTREAL WITNESS, 447 a\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 \u2014_ \u2014 pr prendre pre \u2014 \u2014 \u2014 ee We TEE - ISOBLLANY.| WHAT IS THAT, MOTHER?What 1s thal, mother ?\u2018The lark, my child.\u2018The morn has just lovked vut aud smiled, When he starts from his humble, grassy nest, And is vp and away with the dew un his broast, And » hymn in bis heart, to yon pure bright vphere, To warble it uut ia his Maker's ear, Ever, my ctild, bo thy murn's first lays, Tuned, like Lhe lazk\u2019s, tv thy Maker's | raise.What is that, mother 7\u2014 The dove, my son, And that luw, sweet voice, like 8 widow's moan, 1s flowing out from her gentle breast, Constant and pure, by that lunely nest, At the wave is poured (rum somo crystal urn, Fur her distant desr one\u2019s quick return.Ever, iny son, bo thu like the dove,\u2014 In friendship as faithful, as constant in lore.What is that, muther ?The eagle, buy, Proudly enrcering hin course of joy, Firms 10 lus own mountain vigor relying, Breasting the dark vlorut, the red bok defying ;

and it was printed ia 1536 ; but the edition was bought up and publicly burnt by order of the Bishop of London, ia order to keep the Bille from the people.[One ol'these copies saved from the flames was exhibited].Tindal was obliged to feo from England, an injunction being published ogainst him.He was arrested by order of Charles V.und burnt between Antwerp and Brussels.He had previous to bis death declared that the Bible should be transisted and reproduced until it could be placed in the hand of every plough boy in England.His audible prayer at the stake was, \u201c God, open the eyes of the King of England 1\u201d Martin Luther, in reference to bis death, said, that they might burn him, but not his truth.The translation was continued and accomplished by Miles Coverdale, assisted by John Rogers, (who afterwards also perished at the stake).This translation was accepted by Bishop Cranmer in 15640, andevery parish was compelled to vbtsin a copy.* The lecturer here called attention to the fact that good men were ready in olden times to translate the Bible in the face of persecution and death, He exhibited a copy of the Bible of Martin Luther, translated into German.Also a copy of the book of Ecclesiastes, by Luther, printed in London in 1574.Also a copy of the Para.pire by the learned Erasmus, of the Bible, a copy of which ward of England ordered to be placed in every Church porch as early as 1548.A copy of the Bible edited by Cervetus was exhibited.He was burnt at the stake, and the flames were kindled by copies of the seored book.But the rarest specimen exhibited was a single leaf of the first Bible printed, which was in 1450.\u2014There are only twenty copies of this known to be extant, One of them is in possession of the British Museum, and cost £500, or nearly $2500, This Ttalian ina- 1150, ;

but during the discussion of the second head, he turned towards tbe pulpit as far es the inconvenience of bis sent would permit, and fixed his eye on the preacher.At length, he cose to his feet, and with his back to the congregation, gazed enrnestly into the speaker's face with an excitement of manner, ainly significant of something special on hia mind.Perceiving that his pastor had concluded bis second head, and was about passing on to another division of the discourse, he became quile uneasy, and finally spoke out\u2014 Permit me to saggest,\u201d said he, © that there is one otherimportant means of keeping the pesce, which you have not mentioned.\u201d ¢ Ah, deacon,\u201d suid the pastor, * and what in that 1\u201d vs A substantial five rail fewer,\u201d was the emphatic reply.: have often thought of the crazy deacon\u2019s expedient for keeping the pesce;

and yet thinking anything to be happiness does not make it so.It is, therefore, of the utmost importance to usto be well informed in the matter, He is the greatest saint upon earth who feels his poverty most in the want of perfect holiness, and longs with the greatest earnestness for the time when we shall be put in (ull possession of it\u2014 Adam.SCRIPTURE ILLUSTRATION.+ My liver is poured upon tbe earth.\u201d\u2014Lamentations ii, H.Among the Hebrews the liver not less than the heart was regarded as the seat of the passions and affections.This shows the sense in which such passages as the present are to be understood.Here, as with regard to many ober of the bodily organs as mentioned in Scripture, there ia not only a literal sense capable of univocal interpretation, but a metaphorical import that cannot be communicated by any literal version, unless when the same metaphorical signification happens to exist also in the lane guage into which the translation is made.Dr.J.M.Good touches on this subject in the preface to his translation of the Song of Songs, and is disposed to contend that such allusions, in order to convey their real signification, should be rendered not literally but equivalently ; and we so far agree with him as to think, that the force and delicacy of many passages must be necessarily impaired and their true meaning lost, when the name merely is given, ina language where that name does not involve the same metaphorical idea Pursuing the subject, Dr.Good eays: \u201cln Psalm xvi.9, \u201cMy heart is glad and my glory rejoiceth,\u2019 as it oczurs in our common version, is literally, * My Aeart is glad and my liver rejoiceth.\u2019 Yet who could behold such an interpretation without a swile?or who, if he were to behold it, would admit that the original was fairly translated?\u201d Among ourselves, in like manoer, the spleen is supposed to be the region of disappointment and melancholy.But were à Jew to be told, in his own tongue, that the inimitable Cowper had long laboured un- der the spleen, he would be ignorant of the meaning of his interpreter ; and when at last informed of it, might justly tell him, that aithough he had literally rendered the words, he had by no means conveyed the iden.\u2014Pact.Bible, DAILY BREAD.bec.29, \u201cWe being many are one body in Christ, and every one members one of nother.\u201d Rom.xil.5, Oh the blessed communion of saints! one member bas the benefit of ail the other members\u2019 gilts, prayers, and ministrations.One prays for all, and ail pray for one.What one has, the other enjoys also, It may be truly suid of them, Allis yours.There is no envy, ne haughtiness, no strife or harm among tes! saints;
