[" MONTREAL WITNESS, COMMERCIAL REVIEW AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER.= \u2014\u2014 vOL.CHIL Canadian Press.Ee CLOSE OF THE FORGERY CASE.(From London Free Press.) 3 before 11 o'clock yesterday morning, At Anderson was brought up to be discharged on the verdict of \u201c acquittal\u201d found by the ury où the previous evening.Mr.Beecher, Q.C.intimated that, after the tro verdicts that bad bees found, he did feel inclined to pres¢ the prosecution further against the soner» \"Te tearned judge, the Hon.Chief Justice Ro- bioson, then addressed the prisoner at the bar in an impressive and forcible manner.He said, doubiless tte prisoner himself was not a little surprised at the verdict recorded last night.Os the first trial of the accused, it appeared quite incomprebensi- ble to (tbe judge) how any person could bave any doubt as to the guilt of the prisoner ; but when the second trial came on, he could not imagine How any person could have the slightest doubt of his guilt.It appeared to him (the judge) strange how such a decision could be arrived at in the face of the letter which be had written to his father before be left, and which was produced in evidence at the second trial.How, supposing that the father was entitled to the character he held, the prisoner could dare write such à letter to his father, proposing a fraudulent disposition of bis property, be could not tell.\u2014He (the learned judge) bad been a long while concerned in the administration of justice, and uerer before seen the sympathies of the com- nuity so sadly misplaced as in thisiostance.He had bad cases before him, where, although theft bad been committed, yet a degree of sympathy (bowerer wrong) had been manifested by the public ; but he never before saw sympathy so strongly exhibited to a person in whose favor so little should be shown.The judge then commented freely on the contents of the letter before alluded to, wherein the prisoner had made no allusion to the use be bad made of bis father\u2019s name as endorsements, and remarked that the father could uot have bad better testimony to go to the bank with to clear bimself from any charge or imputation of collusion, and if he bad chosen he could lure repudiated the obligation to pay these notes where bis name had been 20 used.The judge also commented on the fraudulent action of the prisoner with the bauk, by getting money from it and disposing of the cash directly contrary to the understood agreement.He urged the prisoner to remember, that whereverbe might pss the remainder of bis days, either bere or in some other country, there was no happiness or peace of mind to be secured except by integrity ad good conduct.The prisoner was then formally discharged.A considerable crowd was present, who heard the impremive admonition of the judge, which was listened to willy marked respect and in deep silence, ad which obviously made a profound impression.accused was shortly aterwards liberated, aad drove off with his friends.PROPOSED EXTENSION FROM THE ATLANTIC TO THE PACIFIC.(From the Quebec Chronicle ) ui Council of the Quebec Board of Trade agreed to petition the House of Assembly, Vrging the completion of the Grand Trank Raü- My eastward, till a junction be secured with the Quebec and St.Andrew\u2019s railroad, and a commu- ieation thus effected between Woodstock in New tswick and the Soutbero shore of the St.Law- Tence.Of the immense advantages which must result to the British North American Provinces such à consummation there can be no doubt ; : Decesssity of accomplishing tbe connection be- Ones every day more and more evident.It is n Yght that the junction line could be constructed oe readily and cheaply by the combined action vit and New Brunswick, than conjointly af ew Brunswick and Nova Scotia, includiog Tom the Imperial Treasury ; for, in this case, a greater length of line must be undertaken.voi Jodie to enumerate the benefits, which inevitably flow from à direct communication bel Titiah territory, between the great Western ts and ports on the Atlantic.To Cannda and ion, Rober country especially, (he gain would be Until such a work is accomplished, it ir ¢ be said that the Grand Trunk has a full or À 28 of success, for at one end it remains a oe.The facilities which would thereby be meat 1 the imperial authorities for the move- of the military forces and supplies, at all seasons de Taped cannot be averlooked.Nor are means for tl dd convey- sans of cou], ab ad othe anf aries of oe: merce inwards from the seaboard to be dispised.The important subject of completing our inter- colonial communication eastward by railway, bow- ever, forms only an introduction to the ruling topic of the petition of the Council of the Quebec Board of Trade.It is justly asserted, that if the British North American Provinces shall complete or shall Lave effectively resolved to complete, à line of railway from the Atlantic to the Great Western lakes, they may with good reason urge on the Imperial Government the necesity of extending the communication Wesward to the shores of tbe Pacific.Nor is this any such chimerical and vaio project, as to many it will doubtless appear to be, on the first startling aonouncement tbat such a design is not only deemed practicable, but even so far matured as to be submitted to the attention of the Legislature.° ° cr People in England will readily comprebend the meaning and importance of a railway from the At- latic to the Pacific.Vast as the project appears, even when the line is completed, as it soon will be, from the Atlantic to the Great Lakes, it will deservedly excite greater interest and obtain greater favor in the stock market at home, than undertakings wbich do not involve a bundredth part its magnitude and difficulty.In the petition of the Board of trade, it is suggested that with the Imperial guarantee of tbree per cent, on à sum of twelve millions of pounds, a Company could be formed in England which would at once contract such a road, and commence simultaneously in Canada and on the Pacific.This sum of twclve millions might be raised, it is said by the issue of stbck with the Imperial guarantee of tbree per cent., and a grant of land exempted from taxes for twenty-five years.And thus a contract might be entered into immediately as in the case of the Grand Trunk, without any minute additional survey.Several of the principal advantages which would resuit from such an undertaking, not only to these Provinces but to this continent, to Great Britain and to Europe, are enumerated in the petition ; and some of the important changes and consequencese which must follow closely in the wake, are glancd at io rather glowing terms.We trust that public attention will be thoroughly awakened to tbe importance of the subject, and that the Imperial aud Provincial Legislatures will be prepared to give liberal encouragement towards the promotion of a consumation 20 devoutly to be wished for by all patriotic and loyal subjects of the British Empire.CANADIAN NEWS.RecruiTing.- On Saturday, quite a sensation was created throughout the city by the dashing appearance and railing muir of & recruiting party beating up fo recruits in behalf of Captain R.C.Price.Captain Price, several officers of the garrison, and other gentleman, accompacnied the party.There was the usual display of ribbons und geod looking soldiers;

and in consequence of the short memories of a large portion of my sub- cribers, the proceeds of the publication bad scarcely defrayed the expense of giving it to a Limited number of readers.\u201d His residence at Chinsurab afforded an opportunity of cultivating à more intimate acquaintance with the missionaries at Serampore, which he did not fail to improve.On the 9th of February, 1829, he was married to the Joungest daughter of the Rev, Dr.Marshman ; ut even this most interesting and absorbing event in the course of a man\u2019s life could not divert his mind from what be considered the * obligation of duty.\u201d He bad been summoned to attend a court-martial at Fort-Willium on the morning appointed for the wedding.Instead of sending an excuse, he thought it bis duty to go down to Cal- cotta, and proceeded from the altar to the boat, which conveyed him in two hours to the fort ;

the letters were in Calcutta, and he must ask her to be so Lind as to repeat her visit the next day.Mrs.Havelock proceeded to Government House ou the following day, and Lord William entered with the packet of letters, which she dreaded as fatal to Ler hopes; but he said, in his kindest manner, that before be proceeded to read them he was desirous of assuring her that he had determined to bestow the adjutancy on her husband, because, io bis opinion, he was the fittest man in the regiment for it.The letters were filled Marca 31, 1858 \u2014 Ten Thousand lives would be deemed o ¢ purchase of the destruction of their oppressoy The trial of Orsini bas completely esta};

The law has taken its course; death awaits his victims ; and the grave its prey.Orsini and his associates are condemned to die.The trial was not protracted ; proof of guilt was easily established : Orsini confessed, frankly and boldly, setting forth the reasons which prompted him to the atrocious deed for which be bis doomed to lay bis bead on the block.There is peculiarity in French trials unknown to English law; the prisoner is first subjected privately to a rigorous course of examination, in which, if be think proper, be may either remain silent or unbosom himself to the utmost.Nor is this all ; in addition to appearing by counsel at the bar, he may also speak himself at every point be deems important.At one of these private examinations language dropped from the lips of Orsini well fitted to inspire with dread the Lieart of the highest Personage in France.The Paris Correspondent of the News of the Churches writes thus :\u2014 It is impossible tbat the Emperor can fail to be struck with this fact, that the Protestants of France are entirely strangers to every plot which bas been hatched against Bn, apd that our grand principle bas been obedience to the established ower.It is impossible that bie should not have remarked, that all the late attempts on bis life have been planued by Italians, who are essentially Roman Catholic, and, in particular, by those belonging to the States of the Pope- The following statement is certainly correct, although it may not be known by the public.I cannet divulge the source of my information, as this is a profound secret, and I suppress proper names.The magistrate appointed to interrogate Orsini commenced y demandiog of bis name.\u201cI am called ion,\u201d replied the Italian.Speak seriously,\u201d said the magistrate.\u201cJ am very serious,\u201d was the reply ; for one of two things must happen,\u2014 eitber within a week Ishall die of my wounds, or within a fortnight I shall perish on the scaffold.Therefore I sm serious, pod Wr by ex- re.ut know that, on y tegion of men will rise up to strokes him sohom 1 have missed.\u201d These are terrible words, which may well strike awe into the stoutest heart, The position of] Louis Napoleon is critical beyond conception !

mT srw THE GREAT AWAKENING.THE REV.HENRY WARD BEECHER AT BURTON'Soon prayer-meeting at Burton\u2019s Theatre, waa conducted by the Rev.Henry Ward Beecher.An immense audience assembled ; aoy more pressin at tbe doors for admission Ta the house could possibly accommodate.All the pity the galleries, the procenium boxes, even he skylight 10 the peak of the theatre, showed a 2 densely packed mass of heads, all turned intently towards the stage, where for some time Mr.Beecher sat alone.Within fifteen minutes from the stroke of 12, however, those who had given up in despair the task of effecting an entrance at the front of the building, essayed a demonstration intherear.At the stage door, on Reade-street a party ofsome fifty ladies and gentleman ham- ered and shouted for admission, and when no prospects remained for the speedy opening of a fast-locked door, some of the young gentleman Lunted up 2 locksmith, who came with a big bundle of keys, and after several attempts turned the bolt and gave entrance to a throng of people, in a body up the dark stairs, tumbled over the dusty ¢ properties\u201d behind the scenes, and finally made their appesrance before the curtain, where they filled the stage, from wing to wing, forming a decorous lige of attentive observers in the rear of Mr.Beecher's chair.The view of the house from (this stand-point was very extraordinary.Hardly a square inch of the theatre was unoccupied.In the palmiest days of Mr.Burton, there was never crowd to compare to this.The deepest interest was manifested.Among the three thousand persons collected, there was not the least confusion or disorder.Moreover, a very decided disposition to stay all day became manifested as the hour for closing the ceremonies approached.Mr.Beecher was invited to continue, but declined, on the plea that a business-men\u2019s meeting should be punctual, Oa opening the exercises of the day, Mr.Beecher read a long list of petitions from fathers, mothers, husbaads, wives and brothers, requesting that prayers might be offered for unreclaimed relatives and friends.Among the petitions was one from a mother, requesting au interest io the prayers of the congregation for her son, who had cursed her on the previous night.Mr.Beecher, as he read these requests, kept up a running comment uoon them, presenting the salient points of each, aud pointing a moral with great effect, In the course of his remarks, delivered in the intervals of the exercises, he dwelt upon the value of instan- taeous conviction of sin.Hesitancy in religious matters he looked upon as a sin\u2014not to say a meanness, Several affecting narratives were given.One elderly gentleman, declaring he was «a happy father,\u201d told the story of the conversion of his son, ayoung gentleman of nineteen years.Three days ago, this son was converted, Oa the following day, the father, going to his counting-room at alate hour in the afternoon, found his son in tears, banding over his Bible.He had just returned fom the John-street prayer-meeting, where he tarated his religious experience.The next speaker was a young man of about 23 Jeurs of age, whose ability to raise his voice before 2 public assembly to the joy and bolduess which bis experience had given bim, He made an earn- ot sppeal to young men to forsake the error of ir ways.At this moment there came in from the neighbor- bood of the theatre a volume of musical sound\u2014the \u201caging of a hymn in another meeting.Mr, Beecher rose, and stepped to the foot-lights.Raising bis hand, he stood quietly a moment fixing the attention of the audience before he spoke.* Dre- tren\u201d said be, \u201cdo you hear that?Stop a moment! That's the sound of worship out of the od barroom of this theatre ! Letus spend two minutes in silent prayer and thanksgiving!\u201d He resumed his seat, and for the two succeedin minutes the fuling of & pin could have been heard.Then followed prayers for Mr.Burton, the owner of the tatre.One otd gentleman in the first gallery Prayed that the request of Mr.Burton to be re- Rembered in the petitions offered up in this meet- lag might be blessed to his benefit ; a young man 18 the highest gallery prayed that * he whom we often seen before these foot-lights, portrayin Ta nature, might be brought to the feet ol @11s.\u201d Other incident added to the peculiar in- t of the occasion.be hour of 1 approaching, Mr.Beecher again came forward and closed the exercises with a few remarks, He was about to give out the final hyme, when a general shout of \u201c Go on,\u201d \u201c on,\u201d ne from all parts of the house, followed by cries Keep it up all day.\u201d Mr.Beecher reminded tia ple that the time designated was expiring, er business man should be punctual in all things, that the meeting should be closed at Cu, while those who choose might remain.The Jon was accordingly sung, and Mr.Beecher Prefixed to the benediction à notice that the Thea- de vould be opened on the followiag day (Bun nl ot the sante hour ; that tbe services on Mon- J A i) would be conducted by the Rev.ph P.Thompson, and tables were placed at THE MONTREAL WITNESS, Man = REVIVAL IN PHILADELPHIA.| (From Cor.N.Y.Tribune.) There is no abatement in the fervor of the great revival now in progress among the churches in and all around this city.On the contrary, it is evidently becoming more genera! and intense.Vast crowds continue to assembly daily at Jayne's at Concert Hall in Chestout stree, to indulge in prayer, and to listen to the numerous preachers of all denominations.Among these the Rev, Dudley Tyng, a low-church Episcopalian, is very prominent, These meetings numbered 2,500 to 3,000 persons.Persons of all faiths and creeds unite harmoniously bi joying in prayer and singing.Telegraphic despatches pass to and fro between the meeting and other assemblages in your city, so that both meetings may unite in simultaneously singing the same hymns.The enthusiasm of the occasion gives even to the telegraphic wires a new and heretofore undiscovered magnetism \u2014the sympathy of Christian effort \u2014 for these messages of love pass over them free of charge.At one of these meetings a clergyman stated that fifty members Lad been added to bis church the previous Sabbath.Daily prayer-meetings are also held at Handel and Haydn Hall, and they, too, are prodigiously crowded.The sime animated exercises and fervor prevail.At St.Paul\u2019s Episcopal Church, à daily prayer-meeting is also held, to which all denominations of inquiring minds are publicly invited.At the Nazareth M.E, Church, meetings for prayer and Christian experience are held every afternoon, and numerously attended.At this church the revival has been five weeks in progress, 41d three bundred have been added to the fold, one hundred of whom were men.At St.Matthew\u2019s Lutheran Church, prayer-meetings are also held every evening.In the churches all round this city the same miraculous awakening seems to prevail.It is by no means limited to those denominations which have aforetime been considered as especially given to indulge in revival excitements.On the contrary, it evidently embraces almost every form of church organization.In this unexampled conviction of the public conscience, the clergy are most laboriously active.Those who preach extemporaneously have new and onerous tasks imposed upon them, many of them preaching three times daily throughout the entire week.Yet they faint not, but seem to grow stronger day by day.All the newspapers, secular and religious, testify to the extraordinary number of persons added to the Church ia this revival.Hereafter, no doubt, reliable statistics will be collected on the subject.It will be as interesting to be able to measure the results of this movement, as to identify its primary causes.\u2018The religious revival of 1858 is so remarkable for its simultaneous maguitude, that it will be pointed to hereafter as one of the epochs of the century.THE DAILY PAPERS AND THE REVIVAL.(From the Puritan Recorder.) i \u2018Whether it be the result of a change in public sentiment favorable toreligion, or of other causes, it deserves notice as a significant and important fact, that intelligence of the progress of the revival, especially in the cities, fills a large space in, the daily papers.The New York Correspond-; ence, of this class of papers published in Boston, gives us the daily progress of the revival in that city, and their news-gatherers here give a prominence to our own religious news.This is a thing to be rejoiced in, especially as it brings impressive; facts before the minds of many irreligious persons, who otherwise would not meet with them.This is a great change in the course of journalism, compared with what existed io the great revivals of a quarter of a century ago.Then the daily papers, for the mosf part, ignored the passing religious events, and revivals were rarely spoken of in them, except, in some of them, with disparaging, remarks or sueers.We would charitably hope that, to some extent, this change is the result of à serious regard for religion,on the part of the editors.of such papers.Yet it is not to be supposed that Mr.Bennett, of the New York Herald, is really among the prophets, simply becanse he parades his three columns of revival intelligence, with the boast that he attends to these matters now, because his cotemporary, the Independent, is too much taken up with secular affairs to give proper attention to it.Nor are we to infer that our \u2018more respectable Boston editors bave thersselves, become subjects of the revivul whose progress and incidents they so carefully cbronicle \u2014especially,, 30 long as they are still as careful as ever to re-; rt what is done at the theatres and places of urtful amusemeut.The fact is, that the art of {oornalism is now bettsrunderstood than formerly.ditors see it to be for their interest to report whatsosver occupies the attention of the people, even though it may be repugnast to their own feelings.But notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence or in truth, the Gospel, so far, is preached by them, and we may therein rejoice.\u2014 The Chicago 7yibuse learns from a sharp sud wealthy farmer of Macoupin conaty, not many miles from Brighton and Miles Station, that he has on hand 1,500 bushels of choice wheat, the crop of 1886.Last year he refused $175 per brehel fot it.He held on for 99.He bas new contrasted to de- entrance to receive sueb contributions in for the use of the building as the audience sec ft to give, : liver at the railroad at 78 cents per bushel.We hear of several farmers in that region who are ia about the same fix, (engine, 'the East, had better stay at 208 AMERICAN NEWS, Absence oy Opposition.\u2014The great revivals which bave been experienced in this city within the memory of those now living, have naually been \u2014\u2014 to nothing of the kind is now experienced.The impression has come over the city in such a way as to repress those outbreaks of the maliguity of wicked men sovetimes experienced in revivals, ir not to overawe and convince them that it is the work of God, and a fearful thing to oppose it.This absence of opposition is a great point gained, if we will now improve it for Chris, Now is the time to set on fost some measures for carrying the Gospel more effectually to the thousands in the city who never hear it Jreached.The ground is prepared, in a manner, for the seed of the word.Through the atiendance of such persone on the prayer-meet- ings, and their reading of religious intelligence in the secular papers, they are made aware of what is in progress.Doubtless many of them partake of the general sensiiveness to religious thought ; and would now be specially open to influences actively brought to bear upon them.Besides, the character af the revive! would be improved, in a most important respect, by uniting more of personal action with the present amount of public prayer.lnevery view, now is the lime 10 inaugurate agencies that may effectually evangelize the whole population of} the city.\u2014 Puritan Recorder.A Hanpsome DunatioN.\u2014Nathsn Jackson, Esq, of this City, has celebrated his 78th birih day, by making a gift to Williams College, Massachusetts, of 814,000 in cash, and nine acres of Jand, with suitable buildings thereon, adjoining the College grounds in Wiliamstown, for which be paid §6, in addition, though the land is worth more than its original cost.Tle particular object, to which this munificent donation is to ba applied, is to found a Professorship tor teaching Christian Theology, and brarches of knowledge ia harmony therewith, and also to aid the education of the eons of missionariea and others, who are desious of entering the Christian Ministry.AccEssioxs To THE CuuRrcH.-From the reports in the various papers of the Methodist Episcopal Chuich during the winter, there must have been accessions to the Church amounting to at least fifty thousand, aod the revival seems scarcely to have reached its highest point.DRINKING AT THE WEsT,\u2014A writer from St.Louis to the Salem Register speaks as follows: \u2014 There is ona thing which fixes a deep and lasting impression upon the mind of a New England man as he crosses the Alleghanies.At home, he has bean accustomed to the ides that even tu be a moderate drinker is disreputable, while in the West he finds almost every man a\u201c free drinker ;\u2019 whiskey and poor New York brandy are as common a beverage as coffze or tea.In this city, drinking saloons are more numerous than the stores of any other department of trade.Lager beer salouns stand out io bold relief at every turn ; Germans and natives alike imbibe a beverage which a modern Solon has decided not to be intoxicating.This practice of whiskey and lager beer drinking is the great curse of the West.More men have been ruined by it than by all other causes combined, It is confined to no class\u2014the merchant and clerk, the lawyer and client, the editor and the professor, all alike visit the fashionable saloons and drink to excess.A strictly tem- rate man is an anomaly.This state of things is brought about by a variety of causes, not the least of which ie the fact that à young man, coming here, feels that in order to be atrue Westerner, he must adopt the free and easy way, and drink whenever asked, throw off all restraint and \u201c go it blind,\u201d for the sake of being considered a % lever fellow,\u201d which means, in these times, a natural fool.Now, a young man who comes to the West and leaves his religion oe his morality in ome, for he is morally sure to find an early and dishonored grave.The valley of the Mississippi is filled with \u201c\u201c tombstones from New England,\u201d sod how many of these graves are filled with the victime of whiskey ! Srons or RETvantxo BustNess.\u2014The pleasantest intelligence we receive from the neighboring States, and from the interior towns in our own State, ie that in relation to tbe resumption of work by the various manufacturing establishments that have been lying idle the pust four months.Many of the mills whioh had n working short time have resumed full work, and many that had been altogether closed have bsen again put in runving condition.The effect of the resumption will be immediately felt, not only in the immediate vicinity of the establishments where the chorus of mingling anvils and the buzz of revolving wheels are again heard, bnt here and in the nther great depots of commerce whence (he manufacturing districts draw their supplies of raw materials, and where they send their goods to be sold.The jobbiog interests in this oity have felt severely this spring the effeots of the suspension of the mills in the great manufacturing towne, and there is no class of our merchants who will be more direotly benefitted by their resumption of work.There are signs of reviving business in every direction, but our wholesale dealers have not, in many years, according to the general reports, had so light a trade as they have experienced the present season.But there is some comfort in knowing that if the times might be better for our jobbers, er might, too, be a good deal worse, and looking back to the diamal prospects of last November, the present condition of commercial affairs may be called de- Times, cidedly briltiant.\u2014N.F.Errkot or THE AMENICAN PRACEFUL BOMBARDMENT OF JaPAN.\u2014 While the effect of the British and French osunon to open the empire of China to the world, semains yet to be sean, it is quite certain that two or three little American weapons of percer with whioh Commodore Perry quietly bombarde the empire of Japan, are effectually unolosing its hitherto sealed doors.lt is an old and wise saying thot the pon is mightier thas the sword ;
