[" MONTREAL WITNESS, WEEKLY REVIEW AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER.\u2018VOL.XL MONTREAL, WEDNESD PRIE \u2014 PP AY, FEBRUARY 20, 1856.No.8.SHA NEWS, CANADA.Saven =v Hp Potios.\u2014On Wednesday a woman named Bridget Xulaney, was brought up before the itecorder's Court, for the second time within & week, for being drunk on the atreets.On the night previous obo had been picked up by the police lying, with her face on the sidewalk, at the door of a tavern in Commissioner Street.the was nearly frozen to death, and Lad the police not happened to find her, she would have been dead Ina very short time.It appeared that she had either staggered, or been flung vut of the tavern, and had just lain as she fell, The court sent her for six wecks to the House of Correction.We could not learn the name of the tavern-keeper, at whose dour she was found, but, whoever he is, he seems to bave little of the * good Samaritan\u201d in: of bis composition.\u2014 Herald.Tus Lara Sxow Sroux appears to have been bne of unexampled severity.Enormous drifts had formed on the Grand Trunk Railway, botween Pointe Bt.Charles and St.Anne's.By 2 a.m.on Thursday morning the whole of the powerful appliances at the command of the Company, aided by a numerous and efficient body of men, wers set to work, and by noon the track was cleared, and the up and down trains able to perform their journeys.We were assured by s passenger that the mow, ia many places, presented appearance of a solid wall on either side of the care, eight and ten feet in height.When we consider that this severe lask was performed during a temperature of 20° below zero, with a gale of wind blowing, we think much credit is due to those who 80 unflinchingly persevered, and it also shows that the management of the Road is fuliy prepared to meet difficulties of no ordinary kind.\u2014 Ibid.Tas Burraro Cosvextion.\u2014The Protestant Irish in Toronto, have Iately bad & meeting to express their disapproval of, and record tLeir protest against, the opinions propounded by the Catholic Irish, and their intended measures in reference to the emigration of their countrymen from the United States to Canada.The proposed exodus, in the words of one of their resolutions, they would consider \u201cas a great calemity, dangerous to our civil and religious liberty, a calamity which every true patriot, Protestant as well as Roman Catholic, should endeavour, by all means in his power, to avert.\u201d\u2014 Transcript.HoxricuLtuas.\u2014An effort is being made to secure the passage of an Act for tbe encouragement of Horticulture at the next Session of Parliament.Agricultural societies receive most substantial aid from Government at present, and we see no reason why associations for the advancement of Horticulture should not participate in the same advantages.Certain it is, government could not better consult (he interest of the country than by affording the fullest encouragement to the formation and extension of Horticultural societies.The reports of the Patent office at Washington prove most conclusively that in proportion to the capital and labor invested, the products of the garden and orchard is much greater ban that of the field.It is to Horticultural societies that Cincinnati owes the vast vineyards which are now the source of a great revenue to the cultivators.And it is to these societies that the fruits of the United States have attained such perfection, as to form a large item in the exports to foreign countries.To the same cause is attributed the introduc- Hon from other countries of new vegetables and fruits\u2014 Brockville Recorder, Tus ViLriae or Sr.Maxv's.\u2014~The Banner says that the anticipated effects of the Grand Trunk and B.B.and Goderich Railways have raised tbe price of land one, two, and even three hundred per cent.and atill the desire to speculate increases.Village lots near the business part are velling as high as £6 per foot.And, to herald forth its importance, St.Mary's has to newspapers\u2014a Reform and a Conservative journal.Ravision or 1s Statutes.\u2014The following gentlemen bave been appointed Commissioners for the revision of the Statutes: \u2014Hon.J.H.ameron, Q.C., D.C.L.;

stopped ai Dreary\u2019s that night, and in the morning again asked the person to whom he had sold the horses, and whom he had met at the tavern, to return them.This was again refused.He then took the rope out of his pocket, saying, * If you don't I'l hang myself.\u201d Dreary took the rope from him, but paid no further notice to his threat, and in about an hour afterwards he was found suspended from a rafter in an outhouse, cold and stiff, He left à wife and six children to deplore his rash act \u2014Zondon Free Press, Feb.1.GREAT BRITAIN AND THE CONTINENT.Rossta\u2014An imperial ukase has been promulgated decreeing the issue of ten new series of paper money, each of three millions of eilver roubles.At the samo time, cight series formerly drawn are renewed, making altogether 54 millions.À letter from St.Petersburg aays that in the course of the last campaign in Asin more than 60,000 images of saints were dis- Picked from that city for the edification of General Mouraviefs army.rince Paskiewitch is still alive, but beyond the possibility of recovery.His disease is internal cancer.The national debt of Russia amounts at the present moment to 1,158,018,000 silver roubles, In 1864 it was 838,024,000 roubles.Advices, via Norway, mention that since the Allies raised the blockade of the White Sea, October 9th, between 300 and 400 vessels with full freights lave entered tho port of Archangel.Tho forti- feations of tlint placo had been much nngmented, and there were being built six frigates and twenty screw steam gun boats.Tas Anunniay CLenoy or Kara.\u2014When the newly appointed Russian sommandant entered upon his dutics in Kars, the Armenian bishop at the head of a deputation presented himself before him, protesting devotion to Resin.The commandant, & man of some humour, as it seems, appeared emohanted wilh the protestations of Monsigaore.The latter then begged earnestly to bo informed in what manner he could bestshow bis sincerity.The commandant replied that the chief obligation of the Armenians A Kars waa dus to the brave men who had defended their property, that of hee 1200 were remaining in hospitals, that he bad already provided for thelr maintenance, but that as the bishop betrayed so great an anxiety to be of use, the latter might centribute 30,000 piuatres for the needs the slok Turks, and supply a sufficient number of hospital attendants.The prolate and the deputation wore thunderstruck, but obliged to submit.Brcresonuy OoLonaLcies.\u2014 We understand that among the comprehensive measures for the improrement of tbe army is an abolition of military sinecures.There will hencefurth be no titular Seld-marshals or supernumerary colonels.The effect upon the army will be considerable, and = the finances of the country not à litUe.Taro the colonels alone\u2014 r number is 135, thelr cost is nearly £85,000; their cost being regarded In the light of a reward for work.Tho e¢-nomloal reform, indeed, will not consist so much in the mare savio of salary, as ln the discontinuance of a gross abuse, which up a demoraliziog laxity.\u2014Spectater.t services, not pay for present Reonrrion o» rap Pics Nawy 1» Prascs.\u2014The Debate says :\u2014\"\u201c The journals of the departments ure unabimous in stating that th: erany news produced in all France a sensation aa lively snd profou id as in Paris.Everywhere it was bailed with à sentiment of joy sid universal satisfaction.\u201d Tus lursmar Panciament \u2014The London Globe announces tha® Her Majesty bas signified her intention of opening Parliament in person.The Earl of Glasford will more the address in tbe Lords, and it will be seconded by the Earl of Abingdon.The address in the Commons will be moved by the Hon.G.H.C.Byng, M.P., for Montrose.It was to bave been opened on the 31st ultimo.Baraty or Raicwar Tuaves.tixG 1x Exocann.\u2014At a meeting of the English Railway Club, which is composed of the representatives of the principal English railways, Mr.Edward G.Watkin, the general manager of one of the most extensive lines, said that those present represented £300,000,000, employed more than 90,000 men, and administered a revenue of £20,000,000 annually.Ta regard to the safety of railway travelling, Mr.Watkin, stated that in 1854 tbe English ruilways carried 111,- 000,000; the numbar killed in consequence of accidents beyond their control was 12.He challenged comparison, in point of safety, between railway travelling and that of any other mode of travelling, or any other avocation.Jusuiriau iv Saxpixia.\u2014By order of the Sardinian Ministry, the Freres of the Christian School of Rucconigi have been dismissed for baving given se a prize to their pupils a book entitled \u201c How the property of the Church is stolen, and what the consequences of it are.\u201d Naw Bisuoraicus.\u2014 The Queen has been pleased to constitute the Colony of Western Australia to be a bishop's see and diocese, to be called the Bishopric of Perth, and 10 appoint the Venerable Matbew B.Hale, Archdeacon of Adelaide, bishop of the said see.Tac New Metac Acumieice \u2014The Annuiare des Longitudes of 1656 gives for the first time the density of the new metal, the aluminium.The density of water being taken at unity as the standard, the new metal in a melted state weighs 2.50, and cold 2.67.Gold weighs 19.56, and platina, which is the heaviest of all metals, 21.53.Corrox Growixo 1x Siciy.\u2014Mr.Clegg, of Manchester, has been in in Naples, endeavoring to organize an extensive growth of cotton by free labor.The two Sicilies would, in every respect, be admirably adapted for the cultivation of cotton.The average rental of land is not high, snd of sandy swampy ground, suited to the object proposed very low ; of such land too, there is a vast quantity lying waste.Cotton, too, is ac- tuslly grown both in Sicily end on the Continent, so that the experiment would not be new, and it has entirely succeeded.The annual produce of the kingdom is about 4,200,000 Bs.Ausrrauia.\u2014 We have Melbourne dates to the 27th of October, by the Champion of the Seas, which arrived in Liverpool on the 25th of January bringing £500,000 in gold.By two other vessels overdue, a million and a balf is expected.In addition to the gold, the Champion of the Seas brought tin, a metal found in the colony in such sbundance that it promises to be only less valuable tban the auriferous deposits.The accounts from the gold-fields are in every way satisfactory.A Sydney paper states that a new gold field bad boen discovered.Al Fiery Creek 20,000 people are employed, and at Ballarat £10,000 worth of gold has been D out vf à single claim.\u201c Bendigo is reasserting ita old supremacy ; uot only have fresh alluvial diggings been lately opened in this locality, but experience has shown that the quartz reefs there are equal in richness to any as yet worked in the colony.\u201d À quartz vein Las been struck near Geelong, which yields gold, siiver, copper and lead.\u201cA mass of quartz, weighing 1 cwt.was brought down to Geelong ass specimen of the reef.It was found on the surface, about 30 feet from where the gold and copper specimens wers procured, and is spotted all over with gold.Eorer axo ParesTmm\u2014 Alexandria, Jan.5.\u2014The engineers sent out to survey the Isthmus of Suez have returned to Alexandria, and generally report favorably on the practicability of the canal to join (he Mediterranean and Red Sea.The Pacha is highly pleased that his favourite project should be countenanced by the engineers, and their report is to be seat to Constantinople, to obtain, if possible, the adbesion of the Sublime Porte to the scheme.Lord Canning, the new Governor General of India, is atill in Upper Egypt.The railway between Cairo and Alexandria is Dow open to general traffic, and passengers come down in scven hours.Letters from Jerusalem state that at present the European consuls in that city hoist their flags regularly on Sundays and all feast days, a ceremony which has hitherto been jealously prohibited by tbe Turkish officials throughout the Ottoman empire, excepting at the seaport towns.It was first done on the occasion of the capture of Sebastopol, when the English, French, Spanish, and Austrhin consuls, displayed their flags, and the Prussian consul has since done the same.Tux Kwa or 84xvinia.\u2014Gavazzi says Victor Emmanuel is not excommunicated, since Rome, for the first time adopting the modern theory of! the irresponsibility of constitutional kings, with a new distinetion,\u2014or, better, with an old mental reservation, from tbe general excommunication thundered against all the perpetrators of, and participators in the law for the suppression of convents, excepts the only one y the signature and authority of whom the will of the people becomes law, and that because of bis being aking! Thus Victor is not excommunicated.UNITED STATES.Tas Erscrion or Bawxs.\u2014We look wilh exultation and gratitude, and hope, spon this first triumpb of freedom in our national councils.Looking back to the day when Jobn Quincy Adams was made a martyr for daring to raise his voice in behalf of the reception of an Anti-Slavery petition, and comparing that time with this, we can see great reason to thank God and take courage.The interest of the session will, however, pret upon Governor Reeder and bis réception as the delegate of Kansas.f Freedom shall triumph then and there, the will have gained a foothold in Congress whence it will be hard again to eject ber Congregational Caritar Puxistiueur 1m Wisconsix.\u2014A bii! has been introduced into the Senate to restore the death penalty for muracr.The effect of impei- sonment for life has been tried, but it is said would not answer, capital crimes having greatly increased.Tuw Promeroxr Law in New Hawrsnims.\u2014As we have had our eyes and cars opea ever since our liquor law went into effect, it does us great pleasure to say, that so far ns we bave been able to learn, the law is generally popular with the people, and is becoming more aud more 90 every day.® are constantly bearing of the coaversion of individuala to its support who were its enemics.It has already saved the community an untold amount of suffering and expense.That there are places where it is disregarded, and that in all our cities and large towns, liquor is more or less smuggled in and secretly sold to now and then an individual inebriate, is doubtless true, and it will be true under the most effectual and popular prohibitory law se long as intxiosting liquor is allowed to be an article of commerce ; but compared with the times under the old Hoense system, We are now enjoying & season of test and security against the invasions of the fell destroyer.\u2014 Congregational Journal.Ausnivan SLAvent.\u2014 American statistics show 1bat their slave populs- tion facreases so rapidly shat iv doubles itself in twenty-five years, and that the present number exceeds 3,000,000, Wesrwano, Ho l\u2014Our town has been filed with emigrant wagons for the last two or three weeks, and still continues 80;

one to help foreigners to overthrow the native Government of Nicaragua ; and one to perform the same office for Lower Californias, All of these paraded the American Flag and declared themselves Missionaries of Freedom, and every one of them was made up, mainly, if not wholly, of the defenders and extenders of Slavery.\u2014ib.Evening Journal.Tug Cincixwart Trackpr.\u2014The recent slave case in Cincinnati, attended by the horrid circumstance of a motkers killing ber own child to save it from the doom of lavery, is likely to raise and bring to decision an important question raised in the Massachusetts Sims case, bot hich, through the pusillanimity of tbe officials, and especially of the then now Attorney-General of the State, was not then pushed to s decision.A coroner's jury have returned that the child was killed by the mother.Criminal proceedings will no doubt be taken against her, aod perhaps against tbe other three sdulis of the party as aiders and abettors ; and thus the question will come up whether, while it overrides every civil right under the State laws, the Fugitive Slave Act is also to override the criminal jurisdiction of the State.Burely Olio bas at this time 8 Governor who knows the rights of the State, and will maintain them ; and we trust the judicial and executive officers wil prove to have somewhat more of backbone than was exhibited in Massachusetts at the time of the Sims rendition.\u2014 Tribune.\u2014 The Cincinnati Enquirer says, that notwithstandinu their solemn oath that, with their influence, no foreigner or Cataolic shall bold office, the Know-Nothing Legislature of Kentacky have elected to the office of Chaplain s Roman Catholic priest.\u2014 The Managers of tbe Maryland Lotteries have issued a card, caation- ing tbe public \u201c against the numerous swindlers who circulate by mails and otherwise, fraudulent Lottery Schemes.\u201d The safest way is, to boy neither the spurious nor the genuine.Tus Wixree, Soci.\u2014The destruction of vines, fruit trees, and shrab- berry, by the intensely cold weatber that bas prevailed here for four weeks, bas been very great.Professor Page states that it is probably greater than has ever before been known in this latitude and locality.After a thaw, the injury done to vines and rosebushes, and peach, apricot, and cherry trees, will be more apparent than now.A circular from the Patent Office has been issued, with certain inquiries, the object of which ia to determine the limits, time of commencement acd ending, direction, amount, and nature of the precipitation of tbe storm which occarred and generally prevailed, east of tbe Mississinpi, and perbape beyond, between the 4th and tb of January.The circular is accompanied with the remark that tbe present winter has been as severe, in some localities, as those winters of which we have such dreary accounts in records of olden times.Good as well as evil may result from so severe a winter, The snow enriches tbe soil with ammonis, and protects the wheat, renders the ground more fruitful and destroys insects and vermin.It may also, as some think, destroy noxious gases, and malaria, and neutralize and nullify the accumulations of animal qr vegetable matter that cause them \u2014 Wasking- ton Cor.Journal of Commerce.Socruees Emicnatios to Karsas \u2014On the 5th of April a regiment of volunteers from Alabama will leave Montgomery for Kansas under the command of Major Buford.The regiment will be composed of 400 men, divided into companies of 30 each, commanded and drilled by officers chosen by themselves.The outfit is to be siz blankets, one gun, one knapsack and one frying-pan.Major Buford is to pay the expenses of the regiment to Kansas, and in return the members are to acquire a preemption and pay him out of that.The men are bona fide settlers, who Fork to Kansas as a permanent place of residence.\u2014 Savamnch ( Geo.) .MispirecTep Lerrans.\u2014It appears that there is kept at the New Post Office, a list of the cashiers of banks in the United States.When lettera are found directed to this city to cashiers, who de not reside bere, this list is consulted, the error corrected, and the letter duly forwarded to its proper destination.From an inspection of this list, it appears that no less than 503 letters for cashiers have been misdirected to this city since Jan.1, 1854, all of which were re-directed and forwarded to their proper address.What & commentary on the carelessness of correspondents !

her clergy bas openly been enlisted against the Bible, has persecuted Christians, bas promoted ruin and degradation amongst the nations under its sway, and has exerted a corrupting influence even upon the best men reckoned in its ranks.This has just been exemplified iu the case of the Rev.Father Chiniquy, once the distinguished promoter of à good cause in Lower Canada, and generally esteemed for his active and successful efforts towurds the Temperance Reformation.But since he removed to the United States, to carry out in the Weet the plans of the Jesuits, and build there for them a fortress of Ro- manism, an evil spirit seems to have prevailed over him.Instead of promoting peace acd good-will amongst men, #8 in former days, he now preaches discord and hatred amongst the citizens of the land of his adoption.From being the Apostle of Temperance, he has lowered himself to be the herald of violence and bloodshed.A circular letter of Father Chiniquy, addressed to Roman Catho- lies in the United States, and to which the Romish press gives the widest circulation, inaugurates a new policy of the Jesuits, which, if carried out, cannot fail to effect a great change upon American polie tics.The Rev.Father urges an armed resistance of the faithful to the rule of American nativism, excites his people to hatred, vengeance, and fanaticism, and insinuates in no mistakeable terms, that a faw bloody corpses of Know-Nothings will contribute greatly to the glory of the church.This of course will be playing a dangerous game, the result of which may be very different from what Father Chiniquy anticipates.The Jesuits have very often miscalculated in their political machinations, and have earned defeat where they expected triumph.The crisis which the celebrated Canadian Jesnit is urging, if brought about, will scarcely fail to end in the oom- plete overthrow in the States of the political power of the hierarchy.We now give a few extracts from the circular of Father Chiniquy, as specimens of his oratory in preaching the new crusade he has undertaken : \u2014 «From whence do the Know-Knothings derive their strength ?Is it from their number?No.We are three millions of Catholies.They are not the half of vs.It is then our cowardice and want of union which give them any strength.The Know-Nothings ate just like the geese, which will run after you, and bite your back if you fear and fly before them.But turn your faces and strike them with your boots, and they will fly away.In the very time that nativism was extending its ramifications over all the country, I have known a little city in the East where the Catholics were few and very poor; but they were men who understood their rights and were ready to protect them.They had resolved to build a church, and promptly passing from the will to the action, the church was com feted.when the piows nativists, indignaot that a Popish church should be raised in their midst, spread the word that the church would be destroyed as soon as finished\u2014but the Catholics, not paying any attention to that hellish threat, continued their holy work.The very first night the beautiful little church was finished, i was burned down and reduced to ashes as foretold.With tears in their eyes, the Catholios, the next morning, eon- templated the smoking ruins, and in silence they retired\u2014but it was the silenee of the wounded lion.The night after, the splendid aod large church of the nativists was reduced to ashes.Since that day the nativists have not touched a single hair of the Catholics in that little city, and they Aave done well.In 1849 the Catholics of Kingston, Canada West, were buildi their tficent Cathedral, which is one of the most splen edifices of Canads.The columna were all finished, the most costly yy cut stones for the door and windows, were all on the place when the Catholics recsived the intelligence that the Orangemen (the Know.Nothings ot Canada) had selecte-i à certain night to go arid break the columns and the other costly worke prepared for the saored ifice.Did the Catholics of Kingston take the resolution to go away frorn their savage enemies, and did they go to find a shelter in Ireland squinat theis cowardly persecutors, &s those of the United Siates are vised to do by some of their blind friends?Ah, no, They knew better how to get rid of them, and bow to meet their infernal de- signe, bout twenty Catholics were chosen to make a guard around the church, during the selected night, and with good and well-loaded rifles, on they went, during the darkness, and concealed themselves behind the stone work.At about midnight they heard many men coming in their direction.A few minutes after, thay heard the chief of the miscreants givi the order of beginuing the work of destruction; and then the repeated blows of the hammers on the columns.But the heads of two columns were just broken into fragments, when the flashes of twenty guns were seen, and the noise of twenty firs arms heard.The morning after, two corpses of well-known Orangemen were found lying on the broken coiumas.

to stir up churches to the duty of supplying every family in their vicinity with the Word of God ; and to seek the contributions of Christians to aid in sending the precious volume to the millions who hava it not.All Christians who receive the Bible as the message of their Father in Heaven, ean and ought to unite to send it to all nations ; and where it ia at all practicable, local efforts should be made to give way for one evening, that ail may unite ia a Bible meeting.It is discouraging to an Agent, after the fatigue of travelling, to have to hold a meeting for à dozen people\u2014sometimes without the aid of « single Minister.We have known an Agent to hold such a meeting, and three or four ministers to be at their homes within half a mile of the place ; but this ie a very exceptional case.What we would suggest is, that every minister should give all peblicity to the announcement of Bible meetings, urge his people to attend, and be present himself to assist in conducting the meeting, snd thus by his presence and aid, show his hearty approval of, and interest in the work.It is hoped that one result of a Bible Agent's visit to the country will be a large addition to the Society\u2019s funds.All that can be given ie needed : and if Christians saw their duty to a perishing world in its true light, there would be greater self-denial, and a mere cheer- jonary Associations.Another result to be desired from an Agent\u2019s visit is, that country shurches should combine to canvass the region around, and see that every family without the Bible ahould be supplied with it.Let there be large meetings, liberal contributions, and earnest prayer, and the country churches will, whilst active in doing good, reap a ful and genervus = apport of Bible and M large reward in spiritual blessings upon themselves.WHO ARE OUR ENEMIES?The Society of Jesus is essentially military io its character.It was instituted in the stormy times of the Reformation, by one who eombined in himself, in an extraordinary degree, the characters of soldier, devotes, courtier, and scholar\u2014expressly for the defence of the Church of Rome.Our English word ¢ society\u201d is apt to mislead us, as not rightly expressing the meaning of the Latin socie- tas,\u201d the term originally employed to designate the body ;\u2014the word should rather be translated \u201c company\u201d or * troop,\u201d \u2014and is expounded by a learned Jesuit to signify * a cohort\u2014called out to It is a body of picked men, ehosen for their bodily vigour, mental capacity, energy of will, and spiritoal aptitude.So far as it is possible by systematic drilling, fight against spiritual enemies.\u201d THE MONTREAL WITNESS.dom at present is rather 10 observe its elements of strength.That strength has been Loo often demonstrated to admit of doubt ; and from the brief epitome we have given it will be seen to consiat of a fourfold character.The Jesuit army combines within itself the strength of enthusiasm, the strengih of unsorupulousness, the strength of unity, and the strength of discipline.Its soldiers are the Imperial Guard of Rome, and like the Peninsular veterans, they can go anywhere and do anything.They have the strength of enthusiasm, for their emotions ace strung to the highest pitch in their preliminary training ; they bave the strength of unity, for one will directs the whole body ; they have the strength of discipline, for none enter the field till alter years of preparatory drill ; they have the strength of unscrupulousness, for the advancement uf the society is so identified in their minds with the glory of God, that all means appear lawful which will conduce to that end.If a threefold cord is not easily broken what shall we ssy to such a fourfold cord as this?And when it is remembered that this army is absolutely at the disposal of the Pope ; Lhiat at the beginning it perfectly succeeded in rolling back the tide of the Reformation trom southern Europe ; that it has survived repeated expulsions and abrogations ; that it has during the present century revived as it were from the dead, and was never in a higher state of efficiency than it is at the present day; we may form some idea of the power which is cow arrayed agaist the Protestantism of Canada.RELIGIOUS JOURNALISM.Since our grateful acknowledgment a fortnight ago, that our subscribers had sent us upwards of a thousand pounds in the month of January\u2014being a larger proportion paid in advance than in any previous year\u2014we have been congratulated by kind friends that the Witness is \u201cpaying\u201d at last: and lest such an idea might relax the efforts which so many have disinterestedly made on behalf of this enterprise, and upon which we have from the begiuning very much relied for success, we think it may uot be amiss to give the following facts, from which those who take an interest in the matter may judge of the ¢ paying\u2019 of a religious paper, with but few advertisements, evc= after it has struggled through ten years of all but insurmountable difficulties and attained a comparatively large subscription list: \u2014 Our Printer\u2019s bill for January was £112.The paper printed was 114 Reams, at 25s\u2014£142 10s.Office and Publishing expenses for the month, at least £17 10s.Editorial assistance from three gentlemen, without reckoning anything for Proprietor\u2019s services, £19.Salaries, commissions, and expenses of Canvassing and Collecting Agents, £39.Thus the actual outlay on account of the Witness for the month of January was at least £330, whicn multiplied by 12 would give £3960 for the year, without any editoral salary to the proprietor.But the whale number of subscribers, say 7000, would at 10s.yield only £3500, even if they all paid ; to which amount might be added, perhaps £160 for advertisements, though this is more, we believe, than has been realized in any previous year.The above calculation would leave an app rent deficiency of £300 on the year; but, it is to be remarked that there were five numbers of the Witness in January, and two more than the ordinary number of Supplements.There were, also, more canvassing agents in the field than are likely to continue, so that the whole expense for the year will, doubtless, be considerably within the above figure.But, on the other hand, there are a good many subscribers who only pay 5s., on account of having procured two new subscribers each, and there are always some, who on account of death, removal, or other causes, never pay at ail.So far from * paying,\u201d therefore, we will be happy if the account is squared at the end of the year, and we may as well say, once for all, that if the Witness ever pays a fair editorial salary, which we think it should do, it will be as much profit as we expect ; for as the they have been made acquainted with the heights und depths of subscription list extends there will, doubtless, be additiocal ex- spiritual experience ; every faculty of their minds has been stretehed ipe to its utmost capacity, and by a long and severe training they have During this course of training proof has been repeatedly made of their willingness to submit to discipline and of their ability to endure privation ; and, as the habit of obedience is of the very essence of a soldier\u2019s character, the most It is the first lesson, it is the last lesson, and it forms a part of every other; and to ensure that this obedience shall be iustant and uaquestioning, each ie trained to look upon his superior as Goo.This manner of regarding a superior extends from all grades upwards to the general - in-ohief, who 110LDS THE PLACE OF GoD to all,\u2014Locum De: TEnzwrI, By this habit * 1e whole body is so bound together as to become in- stinot with one thought, \u2014that thought being the General\u2019s ;\u2014and the whole power of the body is wielded by him as a staff, where~ been inured to hardship and toil.sedulous attention ie paid to it from the beginning.with to strike down the foes of the Church.This habit of regarding the superior as God is no empty formality; it is the very strength and glory of the system, and it is ourried out with a consistency that makes us tremble at its blasphemy.As the obedience due to God is not merely an outward act, bata genuine submission of the heart, s0 is that which the Jesuit is taught to render to his Superior.He iv not merely to do what he esommands, but to acquiesce cheerfully in his will ; to think as the superior thinks, and to be firmly persuaded that all his commandments are right.With the will and opinion of his Superior his To him, he is taught to offer himself as The perfect model of duty set before him is to be as a staff in the hands of his Superior;

I noticed your article on Bishop Charbonnel\u2019s pastoral, in last Witness, and desire to call your attention to a feature in it which haa not been commented upon, but is of an alarming character, as testifying to the design of building up no imperium in tmperio.1 mean the attempt of the Bishop to put himself above the Legislaiure and coerce #6.Ia the fiest place, the people are directed how to vote \u2014they are told it will be a mortal sin if they do not vote as direcied\u2014but the legislator is also ordered to support separate schools on the same penalty, aud should he falier or allow his sense of public duty to guide him, thea the terrors of the church ere held over him, and the confessor who would give the Roman Catholic legislator, who opposes separate schools, absolution, is guilty of a mortal sin.Here the church is put above the Parliament, and a direct conflict is created between the Romish church and the Legis- latare.Second, Is it not a breach of the privileges of the House ?Look at the Sardinian case.You will no doubt recollect the refusal of the hierarchy to absolve or inter the liberal minister who sought to curb their power, and his dying unshrived, while burial in the conseorated ground was only oblained by the presence of soldiery.Here ia the same weapon brought to bear.Pray look over the pas- jora) again.I epeak of the Sardinian case from indistiuct recol- ection, UNION OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES.(To the Editor of the Montreal Witness.) A meeting of tha Committee appointed by the two Presbyterian congregations of Lachute, in April last, with a view to promots a union of the Synods of Canada, and the United Presbyterian Synod, was held in the basement of the Free Church on the 26thult., when the difficulties standing, or supposed to stand in way of a union were deliberately considered, and the following declaration was drawn up, and agreed to by the meeting: \u2014 \u201c We the members of this committee cordially approve of the \u201c Doctrines, Discipline, and Church Government, laid down in the \u201cConfession of Faith, with the exception of that part of the 23nd * Chapter, in 80 far as it teaches, or may be supposed to teach com- \u201c pulsory and intolerant principles in waiters of religion.We deny ¢ that the magistrate has any power whatever in religious matters; \u201cand approve of the coutsd adopted by the Synod Canada, an \u201cthe United Presbyterian Synod, in refusing any Government \u201c money.\u201d Signed,\u2014Thomas Henry, Chairman; Walter Scott, Minister ; Thomas Christie, M.D., John MoOual, John Hay, Thomas Lookie, John Meikle.On the following Monday, this declaration was laid before the members of the two congregations, called together for that purpose, and it was conourred in without a dissenting voice.It is 10 be regretted, however, that but a very small number of the members of the United Presbyterian Church were present, nevertheless, it is certain that they feel a deep interest in this desirable object, and are longing for its consummation.t wa, therefore, through your paper, call upon all Christian \u2014 Presbyterians, throughout this Provicce and elsawhers, to lift up their voice in support of this important measure, and w give our higher Church Courts no reet, till they wipe away those we snd imaginary obstacles, that divide bodies of Christians, which, ia all essential maiters, are one.Jonn Hav.Lachute, Sih Feb, 1658, APPEAL TO THE POSSESSORS OF THE ELECTIVE FRANCHISE.(Written at ths request of the Montreal Ti « Soristy, Rev.H.Wilkes, D.1)., and issued as the Sisth Trees of is Trin) The appeal would bave been to « Electors,\u201d had it not bees a lamentable fact, that many who possess the Franchise take so little interest in pubic affairs that they use it not.Some who are among the beat qualified to give an enlightened vote unaccountabiy neglest 10 appear at the poils.A werd to such persons first of all.Our Representative Government is so constituted in its manieipal and national departments, that its existence, and its power for good or for evil, ultimately rest in those who possess the franchise.To them 1s committed the sacred trust of providing for, and conserving the interests of all who dwell in City or Municigality, and in the Province generally.Upon them it depends whether or not we shall have a Mayor, Aldermen and Council in the city, who, in their re- speclive departments, shall protect us from outrage by an efficient police\u2014shall save our househioids from pestilence caused by neglest of sanitary regulations\u2014ehall put down gambling, dronkenness, and other nuisances and offences agaicst the good order of society\u2014 and shall in every legitimate way promote the weifare of the ple.Moreover, upon them it depends whether ur General Govern ment shall be upright, patriotic, and large-minded,\u2014or trucklin, base, and unprincipled :\u2014whether it shall be one which sacredly regards national virtue, or either winks at or promotes national vice.The question for you, possessors of the franchise, is,\u2014 Can | neglect this trust without crime ?a there no responsibility connected with the fact that I may use the franchise?And this query becomes of more serious import when it may be averred that if the good aad virtuous of the community\u2014those who love order, and truth, and uprightness\u2014would heanily unite, not on y grounds, bat on moral grounds, and would take the matter in Baad, they could place in our Municipal and General Governments men that could be trusted.To neglect a duty so important surely invulves serious eriminality.Assuming the duty of electors to act, are there not some points of special moment to which it behoves them to give serious and practical attention?In a country where the vice of drunkenness is eo rife a8 it is here, and in which, as a consequence, crime fearfully increases every year, have the electors of the land nothing to do in the work of saying the plague?Are they to stand careless! and see our Police Courts crowded with drunkards, sad wor 3 i filled with criminals whom drunkenness has led to the commission of crime, and, having power to work a reform, fold their arms and do nothing?Have they ever calculated the cost to cities and to the country of the crime by which they are cursed ! To take no higher ground for the moment, the mere cost of the thing is enormous.The loss of the intelligent labor of the drunkard is not only an evil to himselt, but à positive loss of wealth to the community.National wealth is the product of labor.And how much does it cost to take care of him and his family?How much to try him as a criminal, and then how much to punish him ?But surely there are higher considerations han these.The drunkard ruins himself for i as well as for time :\u2014his soul is lost as well as his body.And, if in your power to do anything for him, have you no responsibility in the matter ?Besides, .ue vice of drunkenness and the vices which are its off- aprirg, Escome at length national sins against heaven.The land becomes polluted with wrong, outrage, and with blood.The cities ultimately reach the degradation of being sinks of iniquity.National character is affected unfavorably, and the tide of evil rolls onward, drowning in a flood of iniquity the fairest of the patriot.Thure can be no doubt that national sins bring down from heaven, sooner or later, national judgments.The Great Ruler, who abhors evil, in this way testifies that abhorrence.A nation has no existence as such in the future world ; hence this world, which is the theatre of its crimes, is made the scene of its punishment.The Pharaoh of the infancy of Moses was guilty of the atrocity of causing the death by drowning of all the newly born children of the Hebrews.Eighty years afierwards, when another Pharaoh existed, Egypt was visited with a fearfully requiting udgment in the mye- terious death in one night of the first born of every family in the land.Nations should lay to heart the great truth, \u201c Be sure your sin will find you out.\u201d \"It is to be noted that in such judgments the innocent necessarily euffer with the guilty ; indicating the importance of every man doing his utmost to ward off the blow, by doing his utmost to suppress the evil.There is not a single dweller in the land whot 8 not deeply interested in its moral charge ter: whether he will or not, that character must necessarily affect him in varioux Ways ; and not only himself, but all connected with him.Do you then ask what can we do?The reply is, Ist.Choose the men whom you will place in power as your representaiives, aod do not allow them to choose thomseives.Men ought to be called forth by the constituencies and not left to force themselves upoa the sof frages of the electors, There needs far greater interest in this mar ter than is exhibited by the genersl community throughout the land.As the thing is geoerslly managed the constituencies are made a species of chess-board, un which the several candidates for parliamentary ot civic honors try their kill as pla rs, winning or losing the game according to the measure of their skill.The represents- rives of the peonle should be selected, chosen, called out ; and then elected without expense to themselves.2nd.Consider, with a solema determination to carry out practically the convictions resulting from such consideration, whether a man occasionally or frequently drunk is fit to be in Parliament or ia Municipal Councils.No matter how high his intellectual quali.cations, does not drunkenness disqualify him ?Uabesitalingly we answer Yea! Th interests of country, of city, of municipality are nut safe io his hands.He is unfit to legislate for freemen; is himself a slave.Can I entrust the power of legislation on questions of education, on questions 0 criminal law, on questions of morals, an any questions involving the character and welfare of the commue- nity to a drunkard?The utter folly of euch course is sufficient reply.Let not a professed readiness to vote for a Prohibitory Law induce jou to send an inebriate as your represeatative into any body in which your welfare is to be cared for.3nd.Consider whether one who lives by the manufacture of, or the teade ia alcoholic beverages is not also disqualified.If modi cations of the existing lave are needed, or if those prohibitory as rangements which are now on the statute book require effeciive ea- forcement, can he be depended upon for rendering a thoroughly honest and zealous help?Iu the present stale of matters he canaot be #0 relied upon ; therefore let him be excluded from the place of wer.Treat him with respect if you please, as he may deserve is, But do uot elect him.; ; It may be well to observe, in conclusion, that the principles ig- sisted upon have a far wider range of application than is hore given tothem.Perhaps the importance of good government has not en- faged much of your attention ; if, however, you wiil seri te ect on all the bearings of the subject, you will see that it would be difficult to exaggerate that importance.There is no room te enlarge on the point here.But think seriously, we pray you, ca what can be done by a good city government for the welfare of the community, and what mischief may be done by a bad one: on what vast interests are involved in the question, whether we have a goed fonersl gorernment or 4 bad coe and thea gird yourselves up te \u2014 \u2014 your duties without fear. 4 Mothers and Children.\u2014 THE MONTREAL WITNESS._ TFunvanr 20, 1866.Agriculture and Horticulture.WOMAN'S SPHERE.While it is true that a womsn, however well educated snd intelligent, who is not equally well versed in practical housekeeping, loses in a measure her own self-respect, and in some ber influence for good over her husband aud children ; it ie also equally certain that no woman should be exclusively devoted to domestic affairs.It is right, nay it is an imperative duty, 10 devote a portion of her time lo mental culture, for the sake of ber family, for her own sake, and for the sake of the social circle of which she forms a part.It is generally admitted that the mothers of our great men have dope more (0 form their character than the fathers, and we think it not 100 much to add, that woman has more to doin the world\u2019s reform than man.But it must be done in the way that God bas appointed.Let the fine powers of mind which God has given be so cultivated that the mother shall be able to give to the son his first and most indelible impressions of the beauty and value of an uncorrupt government and of free institutions, and our country is for ever safe.Let ber be qualified to sustain her part im conversation with her husband and other intelligent persons, on important subjects in the presence of ber children ; not iu à dictatorial, un- lady-like manner, but in the spirit of meekness.Let the arts and sciences, the improvement of the age, and the great changes among tbe nations of the earth, be the themes of rational conversation in the family, and the children who believe that no being in the whole worid is as good &s their own mu- ther, will demonstrate the power of that motber's influence in after life.The sphere of woman's influence is by no means confined to the domestic circle.Here, she has exclusive control, but the whole world feels ber moral power.The devotion of the heathen women, degraded and enslaved as they are, is the priocipal cause of Lhe perpetuity of idolatry.So in the Christian world.How long would Popery exist if the minds of the women who profess that faith, were enlightened and arrayed inst it! In the infancy of our own country, the influence of heroic women did much to gaia for us our national freedom.It was Washingion\u2019s mother who made him the hero in war, the almost god-like in peace.And now, in these \u201clatter days,\u201d the best Christians and philanthropists well understand that to give prosperity and perpetuity to any benevolent object, the sympathies and the approval of woman must be obtained.Take away her efforts and influence from our missionary enterprises and benevolent institutions, and how long would they live?To be lovely and gentle, does not by any means imply that fashionable, sickly sensibility which will sigh and weep over the pages of à novel, yet withholds aid and sympathy trom the suffering, lest those delicate nerves be shocked.But it means a full development of all the nobler feelings of a woman\u2019s nature, a shrinking from unnecessary publicity, yet an unshrink.ing performance of duty everywhere, At the bedside of the sick and dying a true woman finds an priate place.None like her can smooth the dying pillow, none like her can soothe the agony of the soul, as in gentle tones she points to * the Lamb of God who taketh away the sina of the world.\u201d Surely no woman who comprehends her responsibility, THE HABIT OF SPITTING.| Will the time ever come when the spittoon, that disgusting re! minder that people spit, will be removed from our parlor, steamers and cars?Thove who chew tobacco should feel a de.lieacy in having this one of the luwest vices made apparent by: the use of le case de tabac, as few others rarely avail themselves of this convenience.| The habit of spitting 1s, probably, one reason why the Americans are so meagre in person.They spit themselves to death,\u2019 | Young Men's Department.] | + HOW GOOD, NATURE IS! \u201cAh!

to aay we \u201c slept\u201d would be less correct, for all Eastern travellers know that certain insect visitors in all the villages insure too often what Milton calls * a sober certainty of waking bliss.\u201d The first day of our abode on Ida was devoted chiefly to shooting red-legged patridges, which abound throughout the island.At pix o'clock A.M., on the morning of the 3rd, we commenced the ascent of the mountain, and in two hours and a half reached # Jupiter's\u201d Grotto.So far the path is passable for mules, and winds up under the precipitous cliffs and through a magnificent forest of evergreen oaks.Half an hour shove the grotto we reached the bave of the central cone of the mountain, which reminded me of that of Parnassus; and here we left our mules.The toilsome and abrupt ascent of this cone took us two hours on foot before we reached the summit of the highest of the three peaks in which it terminates, and which, as nearly as can be; ascertained, is 7674 feet above the wea, This point commands one of the most extensive, most beautiful, and most interesting panoramic views in the world.The whole of Crete was spread out like a map before our feet ; the outlines of the Whits Mountains to the west, and those of the Diciæan Mountains to the east, with the coast line of the Ægean to the north, and of the African ven to the east, are perfect in variety and beauty.In clear weather many of the * isles which crown the Egean deep\u201d are visible, as also Grandos (the Clauda of the cts of the Aposiles), in the African Sea.After a rapid descent we reached our quarters in the village at sunset, and the next day our steamer in the harbor of Rithymnos, whence we took our farewell of Crete, in which we all agreed, we had spont some of the most charming and most satisfactory days of our lives.\u2014 Letter in London Times.NEWSPAPER WRITING.On this subject the Presbyterian says :\u2014 « Our wide-spread circle of readers embraces a large share of the best educated and most intelligent people in the land.[It is no small matter to be able to speak to so many leading minds in the various sections of out country.An immensely larger congregation than any minister preaches to is here accessible.There is ample stimulus to all who can wield the pens of ready and effective writers, to avail themselves of this method of usefulness.Newspaper articles ate not necessarily the ephemeral things they are sometimes reckoned (0 be.Several of the most popular and useful religious volumes now in cir- .culation were originally published as articles in religious journats.-\u2014 Two books, which have been favorably received within (he last two years, appeared first as contributions to the columns of the /resby- ferian.Wu do not wish it to be thought, however, that it is best for writers to aim at book-making when writing for the hebdomadat press.Serial articles can only be poputar and successful when the topic is of unusual inte or the writing remarkably attractive.Short, pithy practical pieces, incidents in pastoral life, brief narratives, &c., will always be sand will usually be copied into other papers, until they shall have reached hundreds of thousands of readers.\u201d \u2018The truth iv, we have yet but imperfectly realised what a power, for gnod or harm, the religious newspaper press is exerting on the community.The reading of religious newspapers, by the people sa a whole, ie in the aggregate doubilses ten times es much as their reading of booke\u2014if we except the Bible.Aad what ie THE MONTREAL WITNESS.published in the newspapers ordinarily secures ten readers, to one which is secured for the newly published books.That book will have a rare good fortune, that shall be wold in as many thousand copies as are issued weekly by our respectable newspapers.And then, the newspaper writer lisa a special stimulus 10 do his best.For when he succeeds to produce an article of special value, it ia pretty sure to go the rounds by Laing transferred io vthier papers, and to secure to itself its thousands, or tens of thousands, of readers in each.This facility of quoting the most striking articles from paper to peper through the country, operates on the minds of those wishing to do good by writing, like a premium offered for the best articles.And they who would contend for this prize of the greatest usefulness and invor with the reading public, should bear in mind, that for quotation especially, to sa: nothing of the original publication, the va'ue of an article, all other things being equal, ie in inverse proportion to its length.He who wou! write successfully for the papers, must condense his thoughts ss much as possible into a small compan.He must regard words asa necessary evil, and tie as few of them as possible, Especially must he spare him«elf the tahor of a formal introduction and conclusion.Let him begin where the thought most material tn his purpose begins, and end as nuon as he has apoken to the purpose which he has in view.A real gem fiils Lut 8 smal! space;

and for several years past the same day has witnessed Christians in different parts of the world offering up the same prayers lor their brethren.The Paris Confrence reiterates this appeal, and urges the adoption of the practice upon all their brethren.They invite all Christians to agree in presenting their prayers to the Lord on a fixed day in every week for the following objects : \u2014 1.For the prosperity of the Church of Christ; especially imploring the blessing of God on missionary labors, whether home or foreign.2.For the union of Christians in each country, and for the umon of Christians of diferent countries, as ali constituting the different members of the same body, which is the Church of Christ.8.That it may ple\u2026e God speedily to remove those obstacles which prevent the universal extension of his kingdom, and to put an end to every system of error, idolatry and unbelief, which opposes itself te the doctrine 0° the Gospel, 4.That he would be pleased to hasten the general accomplishment of prophecy.and of those promises in particular which are made 10 Israel, and to the world at large through them.5.That ail who unite in thuse prayers, may, through the grace of the Holy Spirit, progress in faith, in sanctification, and in true spiritual peace.Monday morning is the time which has hitherto heen ole served for this united prayer, Christians who receive a copy of this appeal, are requested to have it translated into the languages of their respective countries.It is desirable that copies should be multiplied, and that Christian families should be invited to procure and circu- Iate them, and to exhibit them in their houses, in order thatas great a number of supplicants as possible inay present themselves every week with the same supplication before the throne of God their Saviour on the day appointed.WHAT ARE You Doing Por Your MinisTeR 1.\u2014The writer finds that with the most rigid economy and self-denial in ell things, his actual expenses much exceed his salary.The same is true of his brethren generally ; and that tao, in à region where eala- ries are not at the lowest figure, but ayerage seven or eight huu- dred dollars.One with a family of ordinary size, and a salary of eight hundred dollars says :\u2014* I could not possuly got along if 1 hud not other resources.\u201d Another with a family of five children and salary of eight hundred dollars, says: \u2014« My salary does not near support me.\u201d Another, with a family of about the same number, said to me, © My expenses last year were $1,500.\u201d I might cite others.1 find in my own case, the cost of supporting my family at the present time is more than 81,100; while, to indulge in a liberal and entirely respectable style, would cost 81,400.Iam convinced that in this region\u2014a country town $1,500 is as low a salary as can be honorably tendered to a minister ; certainly as low as one, with a growing family, can live upon, in a style to satisfy the ideas of a respectable and cultivated people.Let those whose income from trade and investments is thousands.attend to this thing\u2014inquire into 11, and they will be satisfied that they are doing but little, compared with what thev ought to do, as Christ's stewards, to maintain 8 Gospel ministry in the land.To neglect a mutter of so much importance, snd one too, of such binding obligation, and to suffer a minister to make such unrequited sacrifices for their hunefit, is to dishonor the Gospel, i it is not even a disgrace to a Christian people.\u2014 Cor.Puritan Recorder.Exercise iv THE OPEN AIR.\u2014From Hartaene's expedition to the Polar Sen, we extract the following : \u2014* Nature has qualified man to bresiie an atmosphere 120 degrees aboro zero, or 63 below it, & difference of 180 degrece, without injury to health ;

and now that tbe war has drained off to a considerable extent, this sarplus of gold, to be buried for an indefinite time among the rural population of tbe East, In exchange for supplies to the armies, the effect must just be ao far reversed, and prices generally must bave à downward tendency, although scarcity or special demand may send up the rates for particular articles.It is, however, 10 be remembered that California and Australia are yielding, upon the whole, larger supplies of gold every year, and that the drain om account of Creighton Cassidy, of Long Poiny to Maria, the war, will probably soon come to an end, so that the depression may be merely temporary.The Paris correspondent of the Montreal Gazette ays: \u2014 The accounts which arrive from the provinces agree in stating that the price of corn bas fallen in all the markets.Coan Traps wita Rossa \u2014The Dublin Mercantile Advertiser states (bat a frst-rate corn firm in thsi city is pow receiving orders for the house of Brandt & Co, of 8.Petersburg, for wheat, to be delivered f.o.b.on the Neva, at from 18s to 216 per quarter, which, allow- img for freigbt and iusorance, Would cost in an Irish equal to about 195 per berrel.The New York states thal business in Pebrnary bas been good, that Money is easy, and that Stocks generally are rising.MONTREAL BROKERS CIRCULAR.\u2014WHOLE- BALE PRICES.Feb.16, 1856.Proovos.\u2014Flour.We bare no improvement to note in the demand for Flour this week, with the exception of one sale of 1,000 bels.fancy superfine at 405.The sales, by retail, have been at 405 @ 412 6d for superfine, according to quality.A small lot of extra, of a favorite brand, having brought the extreme price of 403 par barrel.For May delivery 38s Sd was paid for good Upper Canada superfine, in the early part of tbe week : bat there are, to-day, sellers at 373 6d.Wanat.\u2014Lower Cansds Red is coming into market freely, but prices are very irregular, owing to the reine state in which much of last years crop was housed ;
