[" COMMERCIAL REVIEW AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER.MONTREAL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 1860.No.57.(From the Montreal Herald.) As we before stated the late Mr.Molson was in bis seventy-third year, having been born in this city on the 14th Octuber, 1787.Mr.Molson was of Euglish descent, his father the late Hon.John Molson, having come to Canada in 1782, being then only eighteen years of age.Two ears afterwards having determined to settle in this Province, he returned to England, and having just come of age, he raised a considerable sum of mone on the security of his estate of Snake Hall & Moul- ton, in Lincolnshire, the whole of which he sunk in building a Brewery in this City, then an inconsiderable town of a few thousand inhabitants.Finding his means insufficient to complete his plans, he again went to Euyland and returned with a further sum of money, which he expended with a like respit.Determined not to be defented he visited England a third time, sold out his property, and with the balance was just enabled to get his Brewery into operation.The foundation of the ample fortunes which the Molson family bave since acquired was thus laid by the sacrifice of his inherited estate \u2014a circumstance which is also true of some other wellknown Canadian names.In the year 1807 the celebrated Fulton launched his first steamer on the Hudson ; and two years later the first movement towards the Steam Navigation of the St.Lawrence was made by the elder Mr.Molson, On this occasion Mr.M.again went to England and brought out engineers and other workmen, with such parts of the machinery as could not be made in Canada.The first vessel placed upon our waters was the * Accommodation,\u201d a small boat 72 feet in length, 16 feet beam, and propelled by an engino built by Mr.Jackson, of not more than six horse power.Two years later, viz.in 1811, another vessel, the * Swiftaure,\"\u201d was launched by Mr.Molson, and in the following year did the state some service in the transport of troops and stores during the war with the United States in 1812.These vessels were placed on the route between Montreal and Quebec, and were soon after replaced by him with the \u201c Mal- sham,\u201d * Lady Sherbrooke\u2019 and others of superior tonnage and power.Later in life the elder Mr.Molson became Presi- deut of the Bank of Montreal at a time of great eommercial difficulty, Benj.Holmes, Esq., being made Cashier at the same period, since which time that institution has attained the high position it has since preserved.Mr.Molson, senr., was also a member of the Executive Council of Lower Cana- de.He died in 1836, in the ecventy-second year of his age.The subject of this memoir was connected with bis father in all his enterprises, first in his father's service, then for a short time in opposition, when his father gave him a vessel to set him up in business and afterwards as a partner, and we believe we are sorrect in saying that it was not little owing to the energy and enterprise of the son that the father added largely to the handsome competence of which he A striking instance of the business capacity of the son has often been mentioned.The boat given him by his father was of inferior power and speed, but the young man was not to be outdone.The river was not lighted and buoyed as at present, and it was, therefore deemed unsafe to run after dark.The eon, however rau his boat all night, and by working while others slept made the best time with the slowest boat.At a later period when railroads were introduced, Mr.Molson took an active part in their introduction into Canada, and was President of the first railroad opened in the Province,\u2014the St.Lawrenco and mplain, of which lhe continued a Director until his demise.Nor was he less active in advaucing the interests of our monetary institutions.He had felt the want of theso in early life, when he kept guard over his father\u2019s strong box, and paid out the English guineas, French crowns, and Spanish pieces, to his numerous workmen.© became a Director in the Bank of Montreal, but retired to make room for his father at the period already referred to, Resuming atthe Board on the retirement of his father from the Presidency, he remained in the direction till 1863, when, in connection with his brother William, he established the Molson Bank, under the Free Banking Act, but which obtained a charter in 1854, when his young brother Thomas also became a large shareholder in that institution.In politics, the late Mr.Molson was highly conser- ative; and when (ho Special Council replaced the Parliament in 1837, he was called to & seat in it.He, however, never desired to enter public life.He preferred to easist in carrying out \u2018hose public improvements which had been set on foot by bimself and others, to develop the resources, and aid in the advencoment of his native country.Haring shouldered bis musket in 1837, ho, with many other loyal men, felt keenly the ing of the Rebellion Losses Bill of 1849; Lud wha.ons of the first siguers of the famous Annexation Manifesto of that time, a proceeding for which he was deprived of his commissions of Justice of the Peace and Colonel of the Militi ; the offers afterwards made b: Government to reinstate him, he indiguant|.refuted, Asn private citisen the late Mr.Molson was highly esteemed.The cause of education aud philan- wopy ever found in him a friend, and there is scarcely an important educational or charitable institution in tbe city with which his name has not been connected.The Molson chair in the McGill College, endowed by the liberality of the three brothers may be specially mentioned as an instance of munificence and public spirit, As a governor for mauy years of the Montreal General Hospital, from the Presidency of which he retired about a year ago, owing to his failing health, his zeal will\u2019 be long remembered, which, considering the itude of his business engagements, often surprised his coadjutors, in the management of that benevolent institution.Mr.Molson leaves behind him a widow and five sons, all of whom he has lived to see settled in life.His brother Thomas and William Molson, also survive him.DEMORALIZING ADVERTISEMENTS.(Letter in Sherbrooke Leader.) Sir,\u2014The prosperity and happiness of a nation depend not alone upon the amount of worldly goods accumulated by individuals composing it, but are especially promoted by the presence of health aud good morals de people ; and whatever tends to lower the standard of these qualities, inflicts a greater injury on society than the burglar or the incendiary.Degraded moral or physical health is a far greater cvil than the loss of prosperity, for the latter may be regained by industry aud perseverance ; but a broken down constitution seldom regains its former stamina, and the moral sense once destioyed can never be restored to its pristine vigor.I have been induced to set forth these truisms on account of bav- ing noticed in some of our newspapers, certain advertisements, designed to inflict an incalculable injury upon the minds of youth ofboth sexes, and upon society at large.It is the duty of the public press to be the censor of public morals, instead of pandering to vice, and to use its great influence in trying to elevate the people, instead of introducing among them, practices, not only degrading, but inhuman; yet for the sake of the profit accruing thercupon, we see influential journals unhesitatingly teaching our people the practice of abortion, and other unmentionable abominations, calculated not only to degrade human nature, but to extirmingte the human race.What is the use of a paper publishing pretty moral tales about good little boys, who would'nt break their promises on any account, or advocating Temperance in its editorial columns, if on the same page it contains an invitation to use medicines that \u2018must not be taken during a certain period, and are safe and never fail.\u201d Surely the publisher must know, as well as any one else, the meaning of these ntle hints.With regard to the grosser matter of the advertisement to which I refer, it would he use- legs and improper to allude to it further.It is abominable, Every person possessing the slightest influence, and having any desire of the welfare of this country, should discountenance all papers, whose conductors are so lost to every sense of what is right as to admit such advertisements into their columns\u2014 indeed the Government should interfere and peremptorily forbid ail such publications.Licentious books are not allowed to be imported\u2014worse than licentious advertisements should not be allowed to circulate hebdomidally among our population.I trust, Mr.Editor, that you will agree with me in the belief that all right thinking people, and every parent, husband, or brother, should uuite in frowning down all insidious attempts at demoralizing the people of Canada.Syuvirs.Bury, July 3rd, 1860.CALENDAR.St Peren's Dav, June 29th.\u2014This apostle was the first openly to declare his belief that Christ was the Son of Go.He was highly distinguished by his Master, who called him the rock, saying also in reference to the faith Peter had declared, \u2018 upon this rock I will build my church.\u201d He was Bishop of Antioch, and was at length crucified at Rome.He chose to be fastened to the cross with his head downward, not thinking himself worthy to die in exactly the same manner as bis Lc.d.He is called the t Prince of the Apostles.\u201d (To the Editor of the Quebec Gazelle.) Mr.Evitor,\u2014The foregoing extract I have carefully copied from the \u201c Children's Guest\u201d of June 23rd, & paper very widely distributed through the agency of the Episcopal Sunday Schools in this city.I must candidly confess that was very much surprised to see such an article in a Protestant paper, especially when I saw it beaded with the picture ofa man with two ponderous keys in his hand, and I am still more surprised at Protestants allowing such para to be thrust into the hands of their children.Fit respect to the article itself I would merely ask any churchman in Quebec, Do jou believe one word of it?No Protestant cau believe it\u2014every word almost from beginning to end of it is false.Deter waa not \u2018 the first openly t declare that Christ was the son of God.\u201d ¢ Nathaniel answered and saith unto bim, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Isruel.\u201d\u201d Ses Jobn i.49.Peter was not \u2018more distinguished\u2019?than James or Johu.See Matt.xvii.1 ; Mark ix 2 ; Luke ix.28; John xiii, 21\u201426.Neither was he ever i called à rock,\u201d but @ stone, which is ouly a part ofarock, Ses John i.42.Jesus Christ himself is the rook of and Peter nor any other fallible, sinful crea ture, could recoive such a title from our blessed Lord.Peter was never at Rome, and consequently was not crucified there, 8s the Acts of the Apostles\u201d and all 8t, Paul's epistles amply testify.He is called the + Prince of the Apostles,\u201d but by whom?by none but Roman Catholics.Every word in the above extract could tot be better written by a Roman Catho- lic\u2014they call Peter \u201cthe Prince of the Apos les,\u201d and Church of England ministers endorse the sentiment and teach the Protestant children entrusted to their care to believe it.I was a Roman Catholic once, and therefore I kuow Momanism to its core; and I have no hesitation in saying that if any Church of England minister in Quebec will only prove to me that the above extract is scriptural and Protestant, I will imme- diutely be a Roman Cutholic again, for then there would be no difference.Oh! fellow Protestants, members of the Church of England, will younot o your eyes and see the danger to your children and to your own salvation by encouraging the circulation of such papersas the \u2018 Children's Guest.\u201d Orangemen, you who are associated together to maintain Protestantism, will you also set the example and send your children to schouls where they are taught such doctrines us are contained in the above?The words of the prophet Jeremiah are very applicable here : \u2014 \u201c A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land ; the prophets prophecy fulsely, aud the priests bear rule by their means, and my peopie love to have it so, but what will ye do in the end thereof.\u201d I am Sir, yours, Ax IrisH CHUBCHMAY.Quebec, July 2.1860, CANADIAN NEWS.Farc Wuzar \u2014We were shown on Saturday several heads of Fall wheat, grown on the farm of P.Faloon, Esq., at Lachine, which were specimens of his field of wheat nearly ready for the sickle.The success which has attended the growth of this kind of wheat, proves that its cultivation is well worthy the attention of farmers, The yield is very great, and is not affected by the fly here.\u201d Several heads were seven inches in length.\u2014 Herald.Rosezry AND Narrow Escare By Daowsine.\u2014On Wednesday evening last, à trader, from Sorel, named Louis Duchene, when in a state of intoxication was persuaded by one of our market * loafers\u201d to accompany him home, and both parties left Lower Town market place for that purpose.Duchene had about forty four dollars on his person at the time ;

and we trust every right- thioking man in the community, of whatever name or denomination of Christians, will consider it his duty to avoid giving it any countenance.\u2014Sé.Catharines\u2019 Trroran Route rrom LrvenrooL\u2026 To THE WEST.\u2014 Post Tho ship \u201c Countess of Elgin,\u201d from Liverpool, is now discharging at the Grand Trunk wharf, Her cargo consists of upwards of eix hundred tons of weight and measurement, chiefly destined for Toronto.Upwards of 120 tons of Australian wool is, however, for Burlington, and will be transferred to the Lake Champlain Railway.This is the first sailing ship that has heen placed on the line to Quebec, forwarding through to Montreal and the West, as far as Chicago, on the St.Lawrence Dock Company's Railway through rates.By the end of this month, the Eastern pier of the St.Lawrence Dock Company's mills, 350 feet of river frontage, will be ready for the reception of the mail steamers.By stopping st Quebec, the Company will, it is said, be able to work the weekly service without having to charter extra ships in case of any break-downs.Such chartered steamers as the Melita\u201d and \u201c Palestine\u201d are too small, and altogether inferior to such ships as the \u201c Bohemian,\u201d # Nova Scotian\u201d and * North Briton.\u201d The Grand Truk, by making Quebec the base of operations during open navigation, will intercept the ocean shipping traflic, the neglect of which has, no doubt, hitherto been a fatal error on the part of the management.\u2014 Quebec Chronicle.[The Grand Trunk Company contradicts the above statement.)

A sarvey of the week's news presents a vast of the world, including nearly the whole of Euro , in a state of fermentation.We see to be on the eve of organic changes which involve the constitution of empires and the relation of states to each other.e might suppose ourselves to stand upon the bounds between one era of political ethnology and another.The great empire of the Mongol race is seen braving war, at once, with England, France, and Russia\u2014for it is reported that the peaceful relations between Pekin and St.Petersburg have been interrupted ; Russia is called upon to explain her proceedings against Turkey on behalf of the well-known «Christian subjects ;\u201d Turkey itself is struggling with a reform that cannot be developed; the whole of Germany is anxiously debating issues as mysterious to the immediate agents of the commotion as they are to the public; Belgium is agitated with its future even more than with its present; the Iberian kingdoms present an exception to the rest of Europe, in a state of peace\u2014 bat so far as Spain is concerned it is an agitated peace; Italy exhibits civil war, flagrant in the South, smothered in other quarters\u2014the mioor Governments dispossessed, one Government leading revolt, another capitulating, the great Pontifical Government protesting right and left with little effect; the Austrian Empire is undergoing a compulsary reform, in which the Imperial Government seems to be playing a double game, between newly cultivated arts of improvement and old reaction.From the Vienna centre the commotion is yet greater, the changes of view are yet more striking.Early in the year, and still even late in spring, Francis the Second ssw no necessity for any genuine concessions to Hungary; and nota fortnight since he was relying upon cannon sta tioned throughout the city of Venice, and wasin of treaty with Russia which would have precluded all uneasiness for his Eastern and South-eastern frontiers.But here again all is most completely changed, Within the last few weeks, Hubner, Benedek, and events have made even Francis Joseph learn that he must restore a constitution to the kingdom of Hungary, must give to \u201c Lombardo-Veuetia\u201d something more than a consultative Parliament, one with a decisive power of making laws; have made him successively yicld to the demands of the Hun- garisus, in the new Grand Council, for a thoroughly independent position, publicity of proceedings, and the power of reviewing the Imperial budget.All this has been done within one brief fortnigut, during which the independent politicians of the Austrian empire have gained, uot only these particular concessions, but a consciousness of their power, and a confession on the side of the Emperor that they dictate.Thus question of internal politics, with the relation of the empire and its provinces to each other, bas been thrown open to the very foundation.The Emperor has become & cosdjutor in a Constituent Assembly ; he has been playing the part of John st Runnymede, only with the accumulated intelligence of seven centuries.From Constantinople the survey is even more confased and bewildering.What must the Sultan think when be finds Russia forcing him to inquire into the genuine fulfilment of his own com: ?When he is compelled to su; inefficient Ministers, and ask whether the Mus- sulman servants of the Caliph have honestly done their duty by the respectable Christians of Bosnia, \u2014whose nobles must no longer oppress them ; and of Herzegovine, \u2014 whose people are half in.pl dependent and half Austrian; of Bulgaria, \u2014 whose race have a semi-independent organization of their own, Christian, alien to Turkey, and conscious that the Ottoman rule slone restrains them from rising suddenly to the European level of in- toligenee in cultivation, trade, and education, Moldo-Wallachia being already more than half independent ?Imagine the Sultan spurred toa tical and honest fulfilment of promised reforms ; unable to put off attention to business up upon him by traders, by Giaours, by infi- abroad ; forced to capitulate though there is pot an army in sight ; obliged to study the public opinion of Europe\u2014driven, at least by proxy, to read European pa in order to learn what he may or may not do, and not allowed to be inde- peudent, indolent, or infallible ! Tu Italy, every element of the European question is eoncentrated, but with more besides; or rather elements which are less visible in other te of the Continent come to the surface in Faiy.We there see, not only Austria retain a lingeriag hold upon Venice by the force of cannon, with one of those ridiculous titular claims in marked by the ruse of designating her Italian province Lombardo-Venetia ; but, at the same time, we see the great power of Eastern Europe debarred from crossing her frontiers to sustain, on ber favourite fleld of Italy, the prinoi- which she was smerting down to last month.r Rome alone might be taken as the theatre of the greatest questions which can agitate mankind for à whole century.Tha Pope is avowedly kept upon his throne exclusively by foreign sol die je has the support in England of men like Mr.Bowyet, wbo deny those chaios of Neapolitun prisoners which Mr.Gladstone has seen ; à h general commands where the Pontiff has no generals of his own ; his last recruits, the Irish soldiery,\u2014who have becn carried over, it is said, on false pretenoes,\u2014are asserting pretensions quite as fabulous, and are committing the practical bull of supporting \u201c his Holiness\u201d by fighting amongst themselves; brought over at immense expenso to repent, in sight of the Vatican, the sceue witnessed by Perseus when he sowed the dragon's teeth.The Vatican is fulminating protesta to which nobody pays attention.l'rance ie weary of the sound ; Prussia is too busy about other matters just at present to have any thougbts about Archbishops of Cologne ; even Austria has at last learned that she bas not the power to come across the border for the support of the Pope.\u2014 Lamoriciere\u2014the \u201cchevalier sans peur et sans reproche\u201d\u2014is said to be discontented with his position ; Naples cannot help herself, much more the Pope; and Victor Emmanuel alone, with his constitutional statesmen, is offering a future to the Pontificate\u2014a great independent spiritual episcopacy of Europe, relieved from temporal responsibility, and rendered compatible with progress.As iu politics so in trade, the world seems suddenly to bave been turned with that side upward which a little time past was down.Protectionist France is taking the lead in beginning a series of reciprocity treaties\u2014the Huskiseon stage preliminary to the Peel stage of free trade statesmanship.The great Government of Vienns, which has been the strongest advocate of exclusion, is yielding to the power of its own subject provinces, who are themselves the claimants and champions of freed commerce.The Emperor of Russia 18 leading in an industrial reform.Wherever we sec oldfashioned seclusion prevailing, there we see at present rather an alarming state of trade.The weather which we have been suffering from in this country has been felt on the Continent\u2014 crops are failing, cattle are dying, the poor are looking forward to hunger.Sovereigus are looking forward to tumult.But there are some parts of Europe where there is a firm reliance upon the energies and resources of commerce.In this country We may anticipate enhancements of price for the remainder of the year, but we know well that we always have the preference in the stocks of the entire world; and why?Because our ports are absolutely free, France knows when she can obtain imports of food, and every exporting country is looking forward to au extension of her trade with a confidence of profit calculated to inspire her with full confidence of profit on her side, and of supplies for her people.The Italians have all the hope of success.But what of those countries in Eastern Europe or in the North, which have been exclusive in their commercial dealings, and have declared to other countries that they are content to rely upon their indi nous resources alone! Here the industrial ele ment appears in full fermentation in the very midst of the political, diplomatical, and military fermentation with which the whole of the Continent is agitated.M.ABOUT'S PAMPHLET.The following are some of the principal passages in M.About's Pamphlet, \u201c Prussia in 18607\" referred to in our foreign intelligenee under the head of France: \u2014 France and the Emperor have no other feelings than those of friendship towards the German pation.We have all for the mass of the people le [an affection founded upon esteem.This honest and laborious race simple in its manners and honest ju its relations, would have every claim to our friendship, even did we not know that German blood flows in the veins of the French peo- le \u2018Whether the Germans know it or not, the friendship of a nation like our own is to-day of a certain value.The time is past in which the majority of Frenchmen, despoiled of their political rights for the benefit of à particular fow, vainly protested against the ruin of our influence and the oppression of our enemies.Itisnot by the speeches of an useless opposition in her parlis- ment, nor by the ories of children in her streets, that France manifests her good intentions to those she loves it is by acts.We have seen her soldiers penetrate to the remotest parts of the Black Sea to delay the fall of the Ottoman Em- ire, while her diplomatists claimed from Turkey orself the civil and religious freedom of her Christian populations, The deliverance of the Moldavians and Wallachians, and their union into a nation possessing all political rights, solely b: the influence of our friendship and without shedding of blood has not been forgotten.Italy, our august mother in civilization and the fine arts, bas, under the suspices of France, entered on the path of independence and unity.It is our ar- mics who have opened out the way in which she pow marches alone under the guidance of Piedmont.If God allows this great work to be ne- complished, and a nation of 26,000,000 of inhabitants is organized at our ghtes, France will take po offence.Faithful to her genoral traditions, she will saorifice her private susceptibilities to the neral welfare and for a peaceful future; for uropean order will not be firmly established until the day in which there shall be neither nation- slities oppressed nor kings insupportable to their mubjeets.ermany, like Italy, is impelled forward by à legitimate sapiration in the path of progress and unity.Ancient feudalism and modern diplomacy, and the solfishness and blinduess of a swarm of petty princes, who buy and sell their subjects, as they would their flocks, havo divided this great nation iuto a deplorable multitude of governments Its laws, money, weights, and measures, its language evea\u2014everything in this nation which should be homogencous\u2014is unlike and discordant The nation suffers from this aboormal state.May Germany be united\u2014may she form a body so compact that the idea of encroaching upon it will never present itsolf.France, which sees without apprehension an Italy of 26,000,000 constituted in the south, would not fear to see 32,000,000 of Germans form a great nation on her eastern frontier.What German sovereign shall have the honour of founding this union ?Two great states enter the lists\u2014Pruseis and Austria.Austria represents, by her population, a confused heap of nationalities ; by her Government the Despotism of Divine right ; by her concordat the oppression over consciences ; by her cue- toms laws the spirit of prohibition.Prussia personifies German nationality, religious reform, commercial progress, constitutional liberalism ; she is the greatest of really Germanic monarchies, consciences are there more free, enlightenment more widely spread, political rights less exclusive than in most other Serman states.It is she who, by founding the Zollverein, paved the way for free trade ; therefore the people of Germany love Prussia.They bebold her progress with sym- thising admiration and filial interest ; it is to russia they would appeal for suocour if any peril was impending.It is to her they would entrust, in preference, the glorious task of national unity.nothing occurs to put a stop to the progress of this pacific revolution, it may be hoped that the princes themselves, carried along by the movement of their people will bow to the protecting spirit of Prussia, and that the unity of Germany will be effected without the shedding of a single drop of blood.Diplomacy can raise no objection against this internal reform.An Austrian Germany by uniting within the same band over 70,000,000 of men, would bave threatened the equilibrium of Europe and alarmed the powers ; a Prnssian Germany, with 32,000,000 of citizens can cause alarm to none.But his Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia would make a dangerous mistake were he to suppose that the national movement is powerful enough to dispense with any assistance.However strong may the impulsion which leads the mass of Germans towards a Prussian monarehy, all well- regulated minds (tous les bons esprits) will resist the current, and throw themselves back if the court of Berlin docs not meet them half way.Democratic Germany is wise and patriotio onough to rally round a king, but she will require guarantees which the Prussian constitution does mot as yet present.Firgt of all it would be necessary that Prusais should make a choice between the two principles which divide Europe at the present day.Divine right and popular right are in presence.Whilst a number of princes obstinately clasp a false legitimacy, really legitimate empires are being founded upon the democratio basis of universal suffrage.The King of Naples stoutly asserta that his subjects are his property, and the nation meets this pretended right with an armed denial.The Emperor of the French and the King of Sardinia declare in conformity with the tenets of modern philosophy, that a people only belongs to itself, and two great nations, by a nearly unanimous vote, elect them their cbiefs, the Prince of Prussia side with Divine right, with the King of Naples, or with popular right, with the King of Sardinia and the Emperor of the French ?À choice must be made.Here we make a pause to refute an objection which certain ill-informed Germans will not fail to make.They fancy on the faith of some feudal prints that the French nations is reduced to slavery, They have been persuaded that the Imperial régime bad gagged the utterance of thought, suppressed the national representation, and made mincemeat of all our liberties.This is an article of faith throughout Germany, that the Prussians are much happier than we are, thanks to the benignant influence of a liberal government, and to the blissful harmony of parliamentary institutions, It is true that the Emperor Napoleon labours to promote the greatness and the prosperity of France with almoet unlimited power.But that power it is the mation that has entrusted bim with.Is there throughout Germany a single prince who can be looked upon as the representative of the nation, elested, as Napoleon TT.by universal suffrage ?It is true that amongst us the liberty of the prees is placed under severe restrictions, but the right of printing anything or everything is not confiscated, it is only postponed.The nation consents to remain silent for awhile around a prince who is achieving great things, just as friends assembled in the closet of a philosopher or writer favour him with their silence.As for the right, it remains intact, and tbe Fronch people, armed with the right of petition, will always be able to claim it in fitting time and place, if the Emperor should forget to restore it to them, Public writers at Berlin are perhaps little more free just now than we are in Paris, thanks to the new-born toleration of the Prinoe Ioyal of Prussia, not be- osuse they are relieved of the stamp duty, or ex- me onerated from caution money or surveillance - nevertheless they have more freedom than publie writers in Paris?But what guarantee have they that that privilege will last?What plea could they bring forward to claim it if the hand that gare it chose to take it away?The difference that exists between them and ourselves is, that we Jend our liberty to Napoleon III.whilst they borrow theirs from the Prince of Prussia.BRITISH AND FOREIGN NEWS, Tuk Bing Movenent.\u2014The London correspondent of the Glasgow Guardian says :\u2014At this

The Emperor of France recently invited bim- self to a conference with the Prince Regent of Prussis, and chose Baden for the scene of that interview.The Prussian assented, and came; and sundry German kinglings, gathered also at the rendezvous of their Majesties.Of what was royally said and done there, little is known ; after the promised explanation shall have been put forth by Thouvenel, probably still less will be known.But if the object of the son of Verhuel was to conciliate, to reassure, to win over, the Germans, or even their rulers, he has notoriously failed.At Baden, the forced, hollow, factitious place holders\u2019 and place-hunters\u2019 cheers which attend the progress of the French Autocrat within his own dominions, were not heard.Some smothered hisses\u2014at intervals a desperate attempt at hurrah by s little squad, whose police uniform had been laid aside, but whose French accent was unmis- takable\u2014but in the main a dead, blank, freezing gilence\u2014marked his progress through the streets of that little capital.Though hard necessity constrained the features of kings and grand dukes into a semblance of courtesy, the aversion and hatred of the masses was emphatic and irrepressible.Louis Napoleon is to-day the most powerful ruler in Europe, therefore in the world.But no one loves, trusts, nor esteems him.With his broken oath to respect and uphold the Republic on his soul, with the blood of ita martyred defenders on his hands, he extends his power only to enl the.area over which he is intensely hated and abhorred.The Roman Catholic Hierarchy who were the eulogists and the confederates of his earlier crimes against Liberty, have renounced and will never more put faith in him.Swit zerland, which was his generous asylum in bis utmost peril and misfortune, and braved the power of France for his protection, now braves it again to expose and denounce his perfidiou~ rapacity in annexing the neutralized Savoyard provinces of Faucigny and Chablais to his Empire.Even Great Britain, so long his accomplice, now denounces, through her Foreign Minister, his treatment of Switzerland in the premises, as characterized by bad faith.And Italy, after being ostentatiously told that France is the only nation that sheds her blood for an idea, awakes from a delirium of gratitude to find her great champion the very Shylock of allies, insisting on the last grain of his pound of flesh, no matter though every drop of blood must follow.Napoleon I.was hardly more exacting with his vanquished enemies than is Napoleon III.with his victorious but still dependent allies.At the head of the most powerful military nation and of the strongest army in Europe\u2014that nation wearing his chains in seeming content ; that army the headlong instrument of his will\u2014 Napoleon ILI.stands to-day isolated and unloved.His empire is bounded by the range of his cannon; the gleam of his bayonets reflects the only glory of his reign ; and when he falls, as fall he must, bis ruin will be greeted by the impulsive acclamations of Christendom._ TERRIBLE FLOOD IN AUSTRALIA.(A private letter communicated to the Tribune.) Illawara District, N.B.Wales, March 31, 1800.You may feel interested in knowing what a calamity has befallen the people of this part of the globe.We have recently had tropical torrents of rain, that were really fearful.But in February the flood gates of heaven seemed to be open, and all the fountain heads of the rivers seemed to have burst their bonds to overflow us.These districts have been devastated by one of the most fearful floods ever known in Australis.Life and property have been sacrificed to an extent trul appalling.The damage done cannot be estimated.ole families, with every living thing on their homesteads, crops and all, were swept into the sea of tho resistiess flood, and no one left to tell what they have lost.At Bella Oreek diggings the claims have all been filled.The poor miners were whirled away olear over a fall a thousand feet deep, at the bottom of which the romains of many were found.No one at the diggings esosped to tell how suddenly the waters came down upon them, or of the gold that was lost.One little girl was found alive in the region of Bell's Creek, who had lost father, mother, five brothers and sisters, and home.All that ehe world wero swept away.In one night this poor unfortunate was dashed down to poverty and orphanage.The face of the country is so changed that she cannot point out the place where their house stood.Near the source of the Shoal Haven River, at| tracks which showed that one point, the wator was seen to come rushing down upon the plains, like à vast pyramid.The river rose in a fow hours one hun feet.The not far distant.over precipices, down through valleys, and on into the surging ses, and thrown back upon the coast in indescribable confusion.For many miles the shore was covered, with the awful wreck.\u2014 Boats were rowed and steamed over where a town had stood, in endeavors to save some of the drowning people, who had gone up to the tops of the highest buildings, In this way some were rescued just before their houses were swept away.Some of these boats now stand high and dry in the midst of where the town once stood.The Shoal Haven river-bed has been filled up.The waters have found another channel.An island at the mouth of Shoal Haven was inhabited by about 90 families, probably nearly 400 persons.The people, secing the waters rising up suddenly all around them, fled to the highest hills.Soon all they had was gone, and the waters kept creeping up after them.The people were wonderfully preserved.A vessel at sea saw them, and sailed to their relief.They were saved just before the island was submerged.A great many individual cases of thrilling interest are related.Many a poor mother sacrificed her life in wild efforts to save her poor children.One young man, in his efforts to save his mother, swam with her through the flood, and carried her across an overflowed field.He struggled hard to reach a place of safety ; he succeeded and laid his treasure\u2014bis feeble mother\u2014down, but only to seo her die.Ten minutes after he had brought her to a safe place, she closed her eyes in death.A haystock floated down in sight with men hanging to it.They were, indeed drowning men catching at straws.Huge trees with drowning families hanging to #he branches, swept on before us, It would | a volume to record the details of suffering, which have desolated this wrecked district.The destruction has been most complete, All this time the bouse in which we dwell seemed to be exposed.We expected it would be carried away.But the streams which we saw rise and rush toward us, diverged before they reached our home, and dashed away past us, finding elsewhere enough of ruin to do for other or unfortunates.The Government has been prompt to send relief to the sufferers.All the uninjured parts of the colonies have been raising a * Flood Relief Fund.\u201d This will serve to ameliorate somewhat the calamity ; but the ruin of families, the loss of children, parents, and kindred, and the violent deaths of loved ones to save the bereaved among the living\u2014these are desolations that no relie fund can ever assuage.CHURCH BURNING.(From Congregational Herald.) By à letter received from Rev.Thomas Jones, Pastor of the Congregational Churoh at Gales- burg, Mich., we learn that on the morning of the 19th ult.their House of worship was destroyed by fire, with all its contents.Bro.J.says \u201c the torch of an incendiary did it.Intemperance is at the bottom of the deed.We are poor but the God of heaven he will help us, therefore we his servants will arise and build.\u201d The building was insured for $1000 in the Peoria Mutual Fire Ins.Co.The agent paid the amount within 24 hours after the fire.This is the second alleged burning of a Congregational Church edifice, by the minions of Intemperance, which we have had to chronicle within a fow months.We wonder if the Rum power think this game will pay.Our opinion is that it will prove the most costly of all their mean tricks.Let them pursue it far enough and they will find the shops and taverns either in- dioted as public nuisances and more stringent laws made and enforced against them, or else they will be torn down by an indignant public.There is an instinet of justice in our western communities which it would be better not to arouse.\u2014 Everybody at this day knows that the liquor traffic is a curse to any community, and that liquor vendors ;86 such\u2019 are conspirators against the public peace and welfare, Let them know that they are already on their good behavior.\u2014 They are barely tolerated now by the virtuous part of the community.A few more such manifestations of lawlessness as this would raise against them a whirlwind of publio indignation.AMERICAN NEWS.AxoTuzR Dover Murprr 1x Nw York !\u2014On Tuesday morning at the House of John Shoemaker, » gardner, Mrs.Aun Shoemaker, wife of the above, and her infant son, a child seven months old were found brutally murdered in their bed, the deed having, to sll appearance, been per] trated with a hammer.A bureau drawer had been Broken open and robbed and loved in the |of $200 io bills and coin, together with a silver double case watch ; the outside case of the watch was, however, left in the drawer.Mr.Shoemaker, it appears, left the house about 3 o'clock in the morning with a wagon load of vegetables for market.\u2014 The Twenty-second Ward police were immediately the bouse, discovered e murderer bad leaped from the bedroom window to the garden and thence d through the garden to & patch of woods His tracks were followed, and in notified, and after visitin, upland flats were like great lakes.On and on the woods some papers bearing the name ¢!

that our Government would be compelled to resort to force before our demands would be complied with.In case of non-compliance with the demands of our government, the American minister was ibstructed

ball-room the theatre are primarily intended by the \u201c dancing and stage lars forbidden, the spirit of the prohibition extends to all kindred amusements which are calea.lated to awaken thoughts snd feelings inconsistent with the 7th Commandment as explained by the Sa viour.To the second question, viz.: Is it the duty of the church sessions to exercise discipline upon those members of the church who send their chil to dancing schools, or who give and attend dancing parties; and if so, such discipline to the extent of exclusion from the sacraments, where other means fail of producing reformation?the Assembly answer that whilst we regard the practise of promiscuous social dancing by members of the church as a mournful inconsistency, and the giving of parties (for such dancing) on the part of the heads of Christ's families is tending to compromise their religions profession, sud the sending of their children by Christian parents to the dancing-school as a sad error in family

progress.This particular eclipses returns, it seems, every nineteen years.Its first appearance since the creation of the world was A.D.958, Dec.8, old style, at 10.50 forenoon, when the moon's umbra just came in contact with the earth at the South Pole.It has appeared every nine- teentk year since, and at esch return the moon's shadow has passed a little farther north.The present eclipse is the sixty-first periodical return.Its nextap- pearsnoe will be in 1878, July 29, at 3.23 morning.It will contisue to appear every 19 years until the year 2374, April 25, when the moon's shadow will just touch the earth at the North Pole, which will be its 76th periodical and last appearance until the expiration of 13,493 years, when it will come on again at the South Pole, and go through a similar course.The path of tbe umbra, or total shadow of the moon, this time will be across the American Continent in à north-easterly direction from Oregon city, near which it first strikes the earth to Cape Chidley, on Hudson's Straits, where, being near its meridian, will be the best place to observe it in its whole course.Por this purpose a scientific expedition was sent from the United States, which is, doubtless, there now.A little to the Bouth of Cape Farewell in Greenland, the shadow will pass at noon, and from thenos it will take & soutb- easterly direction across the Atlantic Ocean, the Lay of Blscay, the Pyrenees, the Mediterranean, Algiers, Tripoli, and Nubia, where the shadow will leave the earth a little before sunset and a short distance before reaching the Hed Ses.Tbe shadow, or umbrs, will only be 70 miles wide, and will Last n very short time st any ons piace, as it travels at the rate of 1850 miles an bour, or four times the velocity of s cannon ball, The penumbra, or partial shadow, will, however, extend from the Gulf of Mexico to 20 degrees on the otber side of the North Pole, or over & breadth of six thossand miles; and the tims occupled in its passing will be proportionately loeger than that of the umbrs.The pesambrs will strike Montreal et 7.12 morning, and the time of greatest obscuration bere will be 8.17, when the sun will appear about two-thirds obscured.The eclipse will terminate at 9.21.At places further west, the eclipse will begin earlier, and at places farther east, later.At Windsor, C.W., for instance, it will begin at 6.28, and at Halifux at 8 o'clock morning.Appnxssks 10 THER Prixce or WaLks.\u2014As many Municipal aud other bodies intend to present addresses to the Prince, the following suggestions, from an official source, in the Quebec Chronicle, are worthy of notice : \u201cIt would be well if Municipal bodice and others intending to present addresses to the Prince of Wales, would send copies forward at the earliest possible mo- ment\u2014addressed to Mr.Pennefatber, Private Secretary to His Excellency the Governor General.The copies thus forward \u2018 could be placed in the hands of the Prince even before bis arrival at Quebec, and appropriate answers prepared to each.Delays and snnoy- ances, we conceive, would thus be avoided.The num- berof addresses will be very large, before the Prince completes his Canadian tour; end it will be the desire of the Prince's immediate advisers to see that time is found to receive and answer as many as may be sent.\u201d Oct R.Gowax.\u2014This gentleman bas written a letter to the Globe complaining of the charges against his character being treated as true by the press, when they Lave been dismissed by the Police Magistrate.He shows very conclusively, we think, the unreliable character of the evidence against him\u2014fraly, as coming from a person of bad character, and secondly, 8s self-contradictory and in some parts simply incredible* The graver and more damaging fact of one of the witnesses being sent away, and another offered money to go away, Mr.Gowan treats as follows :\u2014 \u201cStress has been laid upon the fact, that Mrs.McCord offered four or five dollers to Mra.Stocks to send her daughter away.Was there anything surprising in this! Did she not state that she would willingly give it not to be brought into Court, and to save the shame and disgrace of the transaction ?\u2014 Surely, if the woman's evidence is good as to the fact of ber having tendered the money, it is equally good as to the motives by which she wae influenced in tendering it, Neither was there any concealment, oreven an attempt at concealment, about the matter.It was stated to the Police Constable before the first exmination ; it was repeated to Mrs.Stocks, and again freely admitted on the examination.Besides all this, was it attempted to be shown, or can it be showa by any one, that Mrs.McCord was a friend of mine ; was it in my interest, or that] ever had any acquaintance with, or even knowledge of ber till sbe appeared in Court?Ifit was not shown, aoû cannot be shown, why is my name to be mentioned in connexion with her act, her words, or ber motives?Futbermore, did not the policeman (McMichael) in his testimony declare, that when he went to serve the summons, (previous to the examioa- tion and before the girl had left,) both Mrs.Kenny and Mes.McCord told him that I was the wrong man ; that the person who had committed the offence (Mr.Wilson's man, as they alleged,) had absconded, and that they would not be forced to appear against mo?Again, did not the mother of the girl berself declare, when examined, that the cause of her daughter's absence was not because she was put out of the way by me or by any one else on my account, but because her statement was not to be relied on, and that her father took her away to save her exposure and disgrace.And further still, did not the mother of the other girl, (Stocks) at the close of ber examination on the first day, openly apply in Court to have the affair dropped ; and surely the application for dismissal made by all three, Mes.McCord, Mrs.Kenny, and Mrs.Stocks, (my prosecutors,) it will not be alleged, could have been made at my instigation.\u201d The implication that Mr.Gowan was favored by the prosecutor's sttornies and Police Magistrate, he dismisses thus :\u2014 \u201c Lestiy, will any sane man believe that the two lawyers employed against me, (Mr.Macdougall and the Orown Attorney,) togetber with the (Police Magistrate, (Mr.Gurnett,) conspired together to acquit me, that they sought to compromise à charge so heinous, or that they were 80 ignorant and incompetent as to be unable to judge of the validity or truth of the evidence given before them.\u201d Having copied some of the articles to which this reply is made, it is but fair to give the substance of Mr.Gowan's defence, and to state our conviction that nothing is easier than for bad characters to tramp up accusations of the kind brought against Mr, Gowan, and, therefors, no kind of accusations should be received with greater caution.Nevertheless, the absence of any apparent motive for the accusation in this case, renders the conspiracy, if conspiracy it be, unaccountable\u2014e fact which, taken in connection with the atrociousness of the charge, should induce Mr.Gowan, in tbe interest of public justice, as well as for his own vindication, to prosecute his accusers, so as to have the whole matter sifted.If be do not adopt this course, we cannot sss how be can blame tbe press.Bastien Corousta.\u2014We gather the following items from the New Westminster Times, 8 weekly paper at one shilling sterling per copy.It contains three pages of advertisements, so that the reading matter is less than fs contained fo the two editorial pages of the Witness, and, consequently, our readers get for one fartbing sterling what costs the colonists of British Columbia one sbilling sterling.Of course the circulation of the ZVmes must, from the smallness of the population, be very

reported that Lord Clarence Paget, Secretary of the Admiralty, had financial connections with a firm of contractors, Mr.Lygen called up the matter in tho House, in order to give the gecretary an opportunity to furnish an explanation, if he could.It was shown that Lord Cls- rence Paget bad, in 1857, declined a seat at the Board of Admiralty, because he was a shareholder in some ships belonging to the firm alluded to, and that in 1859, on accepting office, he sold bis shares into the vesscls at a great sacrifice, in order that he might with propriety assume the position offered bim.The proceedings were conducted with a dignity nnd courtesy which render them worthy, to be read carefully by some of our Congressmen, and the result of the investigation was tbe proof of official scrupulousness in the secretary which might well be commended to some of our functionaries as worthy of imitation We copy the above from the Vermont Chronicle, and specially invite the attention of Cauadian statesmen to it.THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC AGAIN.The following portion of the evidence given at the inquest held on the body of the soldier killed last week is another illustration of the fact that crime and drinking go together.Although so large a portion of the crime of this city can be directly traced to taverns, yet our License Committee, in opposition to the appeal of bishops, ministers and the temperance societies, has increased the number of licenses :\u2014 \u201cJohn Lanahan, private soldier in the Royal Canadian Rifles, deposed :\u2014I have been in this Regiment about three weeks and about 13 years in Her Majesty's service.I was sent with Grogan, another soldier under the charge of Corporal Ryan in search of the deceased, John Keough, yesterday, about a quarter-past 4 in the afternoon.The deceased was in the same Regiment and in the same room with me.We proceeded down one of the main streets, St.Mary street, and we saw the deceased in a public house, aad we went in to take him into custody.He refused to come with us.He had then on bim his sword and belt.The corporal immediately went to the prisoner and snatched the sword away from him.The deceased was intoxicated at the time.The deceased, John Keough, gave his belt and scabbard to the corporal after his sword had been taken away.\u2018The deceased immediately went outside the door and ran away.Myself and Grogan then ran after the deceased, but he escaped us.The corporal had remained this Lime with another prisoner in charge named Graham.We then came back to Hart's tavern, where we found the corporal with bis prisoner.We then came to the Barrack with Graham in charge.We then went up to Logan's farm in search of the deceased.We searched all over the woods, but were not able to find the deceased.We then returned towards town.When on our way back, a small boy came up and told Corporal Ryan that there wasa drunken soldier in St.Catherine street, I think, without a belt.Corporal Ryan told me and Grogan to go down one street, and he and the boy would go down another street to meet each other.Wa went down a street near the station house, Quebec Suburbs, and saw private John Keough come round the corner very quick.As goon as he saw me-and Gro be turned back and ran into a back ard.I looked round to eee if T could see the corporal ut [ did not see bin.I immediately went into the yard with Grogan following me, and seized the deceased by the right arm.I requested the deceased to come home quietly, and ho answered that he would not.Corporal Ryan then came running into the yard, and stab- d the deceased Jobn Keough in the neck with his sword.Grogan came in after the corporal.I saw the blow inflicted.Corporal Ryan said nothing before he struck the deceased.As soon as he drew the sword out of the neck of the deceased, the latter cried,\u2014 Oh, Lanahan, I am & dead man.\u201d Corporal Ryan then ordered me to go for a doctor.A minute or two after the deceased was stabbed, he fell to the ground, and I put a stick under his lead.The blood squirted out of the wound, which was on the left side ot the neck.I went for a doctor, and when I returned the man was dead.The corpse was then brought in my presence from the place where it was lying, to the Barrack Hospital, by an escort which I went and got.Corporal Ryan, Gro and I, had each a glass of liquor before we started search of the deceased ; Grogan and I had beer, but 1 do not know what the corporal took.He ap d sober to me at the time he struck the blow.bave been only three weeks In the regiment, and it was the firat time I had been sent in search of him.\u201d The evidence showed that Keough was a drunkard, that be was intoxicated and trausgressing military law at the time of bis desth ; yet he was buried with military honors! This appears to us very inconsistent, and calculated to encourage drankenness and insubordination among soldiers.A DELIOATE AND DIFFICULT QUESTION.At last Sabbath afternoon meeting in Bonaventure Hall, a city missionary drew attention to the unspeakable misery of that class for which midnight meetings are held in London, He bad recently, in passing through the streets at night, found s lady, aged about 80, lying bruised on the ground, and her daughter, also up in years, trylog to raise ber\u2014both being under the influence of liquor.He bad assisted them to the station-house, and remarked to the Ohlef of Police on the melancholy fact of such aged persons being thrust into tbe ward with all kinds of evil doers.The Ohief replied that if he would wait a few minutes he would se satiil more melancholy spectacle.He did walt, and a van was driven up full of unfortunate feraales, who were thrust into the same common receptacle.A few minutes afterward, another load was brought in of the same wreiched class, among whom were three men handcuffed.The Missionary asked what would be done with these poor females, and was informed that they would be sent to jail over Sunday, brought up before the Police Magistrate on Monduy, und probably sentenced to one or two month's imprisonment, which they would be sent back to jail to fulfill.\u201c And what then?\u201d said the Missionary.\u201c Then,\" replied the Chief, \u2018 thoy will just be turned into the atreets again.Yes,\u201d contibued be, \u201cin this great, prosperous, Christian and benevolent city of Montreal, there is no hand stretched forth to help this wretched class to reform !\u201d The City Missionary reminded him that there was un Magdalene Asylum.* And how many are cared for there?\u201d said the Chief.\u201c Probably from eight to twelve,\u201d replied the Missionary.But what is that ?\u201d said the Ohief, \u201c when here are thirty or more arrested in one night?\u201d The City Missionary went on to say that he knew not what answer to make to the benevolent Israelite, and then explained to the meeting that the time when these poor unfortunate creatures are in jail would be an excellent opportunity to try to justruct and reform them ; but Ministers and City Missionaries were refused ad- mittnce.\u201cIt is true,\u201d added he, \u2018 that an order may be obtained from the Sheriff, by special application, to visit any particular individual, but you cdn only converse, at à distance of several feet, through gratings, and in contact with six or seven others similarly occupied, The pretext for keeping out Ministers and Missionaries is that a regular Chaplain is appointed, who, perhaps, preaches once a-week, and one City Missionary is admitted, who, perhaps, visits once a- week.\u2018We had beard something of the cruel, unchristian, and, we think, arbitrary and illegal conduct on the part of the authorities here alluded to, but never had its unfeeling character so fully brought before us as on this occasion.The City Missionary who was thus shut out is employed by the Wesleyan body in this city for just such duties, and from his age, zeal, piety, prudence, benevolence and abundant labours among the miserable out of jail, he is just one of the most suitable persons that could be found to visit the prisoners; and yet he is peremptorily shut out, and that even when he took his minister with him, the pastor of one of the largest congregations in the city.Such a state of things cannot surely be permitted te continue ; but even were ministers and city missionaries freely admitted, as they should be, their visits would not be enough.A Mrs.Fry is needed with whom this labour of love would be a speciality.And are there none of the holy women of Montreal who, recognizing that Christ submitted to infinite abasement to save them, will imitate him, so far as they can, by submitting for his sake to the abasement of labouring for this lost class.May the Lord raise up such an instrument to snatch some, at least, of these lost ones from de- etruction ! Another speaker stated that the police disguised themselves and hunted the poor wretches in question about the fields, near the Papineau Road, until they sometimes collected and drove away 12 or 16 of them like cattle, to the Station.He added, that as it was well known they had all been brought to their state of degradation by liquor, be thought no respectable female should countenance the use of intoxicating drinks.The ladies bad the remedy in their own hands, for if they refused to use wine, beer, &c., and disapproved of drinking in others, their influence was s0 great that the drinking customs would soon be given up and the supply of these unfortunates would cesse.In his opinion, à respectable woman supporting the drinking customs was almost as malancholy & sight as the bitter fruits of these customs to which attention had been drawn.THE VISIT OF THE PRINOE OF WALES.The following is the correspondence between the President and Queen Victoria, relative to the visit of the

in lialy :\u2014 Tuuin, June 26.\u2014 There is no pen able to describe, nor imagination strong enough to conceive, the nature of the present Italian movement.[tis a nation in the struggles of ite second birth.Half the youth of the townure under arms; young boys of 13 or 13 break their parents\u2019 hearts by declaring themselves irrevocably beat on becoming soldiers.There are 14 Univer- (sities, and at least as many Lyceums, in the North Italian kingdom, and all of them are virtually closed, for nearly all the students and many of the Professors are under arms.They are everywhere organizing themselves into committees, clubs, and other political associations, ipundating the country with an evanescent but not ineflicient press.There is an universal migration and transmigration.Venetia and the Marches pour into the Emilia and Lombardy.The freed provinces muster up volunteers for Sicily, From Sicily ghost-like or corpse-like State prisoners\u2014the victims of Bourbon tyranny, the remnants of the wholesale batches of 1844 and 1848, the old, long-forgotten companions of the Bandiers the friends of Poerio, the adventurers of the ill-fated Pisscane\u2019s expedition\u2014creep forth from the battered doors of their prisons, stretch their long- numbed limbs in the sun, gasp in their first inhalations of free air; then they embark for Genoa, where tbe warm sympathy ofan applauding multitude awsiting them at their landing greets their ears, still stunned with the yellg and curses of the yellow-galleysiaves they have left behind.Such a sudden and universal swarming and blending together of the long-severed tribes of the same race the world never witnessed.Under the Turin porticoes you hear the pure, sharp Tuscan, the rich, drawliog Roman, tbe lispiog Venetian, tbe close, ringiog Neopolitan, as often as the harsh, gutteral, vernacular Piedmontese.Lamoriciere\u2019s troops are in a state of hopeless disorganization, thinned by constaut desertions, and & prey to daily, and often bloody and even mortal scuffles.The native Roman and Italian element [3 not to be reconciled with the Swiss and German.The Irish element will soon make confusion a thousand times worse confounded.Garibaldi's programme is as clear and consistent as any man\u2019s could well be.He wants to give no quarter to the enemies of Italy.He bas conquered Sicily.He will take Naples, as he bas taken Palermo, by storm.After that he will settle bis accounts with the Pope.He will bear of no compromise ; to the Nespo- litan and Roman Governments he has only one intimation to make\u2014to be gone.If Heaven gives him strength to achieve his work, be will show the world that he was only acting for Italy and Victor Emmanuel ; like Joan of Arc, whose task was to eee Charles VII.anointed at Rbeims, Garibaldi will never rest till he has enthroned his companions in arms the good Re Galantuomo, on the Capitol.For his own part, he will then go back to bis rock, bound solitude of Caprers, and be seen no more on the scene of bis exploits.In order to achieve so much, Garibaldi must bave a free hand.Sardinis is bound to France by a thousand ties of gratitude and hope.As a recognized Government she is deep in the tolls of diplomacy.Cavour is a great man ; but Cavour is not a free agent; and Garibaldi, as subordinate to Cavour, would be in 8 doubly dependent position.France and England have thrown out some bopes of a non.intarrantion Should that principle hold, Garibaldi feels sufficiently strong to accomplish bis task single-banded.People here are perfectly amazed at the profound political tact evinced by that brave chieftain in the present emergency.It was suppremely wise to oppose the immediate annexation of Sicily alone.Let King Bombi cells wriggle himself out of his present awkward predicament as he best may ; let him arrange matters with all other sublunary potentates Garibaldi has wrenched one kingdom from bim with 900 men; will he not tear the other from him with 9,000 ?The patriots in Turin, therefore, do not augur anything like \u2018misunderstanding between Cavour and Garibaldi from this imporiant latest news.ALBANY CORRESPONDENCE OF MONTREAL \u201c WITNESS.\u201d A MEW DAILY PAPER\u2014\"\u201c TIR WORLD.\u201d A growing conviction that our daily secular papers, though in many instances ably conducted, were too partizan in character, and not adapted to exert & healthy moral influence, lately led a company of influential gentlemen, in the city of New York, to form an association for the establishment of a daily secular paper on a Christian basis and character, and which might be advantageously introduced to suy family.For this purpose they raised a capital of $100,000, secured a first-class editor, who is a religious man, an enterprising publisher, who also is a Christian, and a large body of influential correspondents in different parts of the world.The paper was commenced about the middle of last month.It is called The World, aud resembles somewhat in its aspect the London Times.Tia ns large as the Tribune, and is sold for one cent per copy.[tis non-partisan in politics, and non-sectarian in religion.Its contents are very varied, and refer to all mutters of general and religious interest.Its articles are ably written, and it will compare advantagsously with any of the New York or Boston daily journals.In its twenty-first number its publisher said : The World has now been published less than one month, and has already attained a daily circulation of 30,000 copies, which is increasiog regularly every day.This is un- Jreoedsatad in the history of newspaper publication.\u201d bis event is extensively regarded as an omen for good, and is likely to originate a new era lu the history of

event was atterded with interesting exercises, {0 which the Rev, Dr.Lathrop, the Mayor of Boston, Prof, Agassiz, President Felton, of Harvard College, Hon.B.Everett, and Gov.Banks, participated.They all commended and cheered the members of the expedition, and expressed a strong hope that it might result in good.Tho company ls composed of 17 individuals, under the command of Dr.Isaac T.Hayes.The vessel in which they sell is of 140 tons, and is probably the strongest and safest that ever went to the Arctic seas.She ls proviioned for three years.The expedition is provided with a complete set of mag.netio instruments, and & pendulum for determining the form of the earth; aleo a sel of astronomical, meteorological, and surveying instruments, ali of which will be under the direction of Dr.Sontag, who was the Astronomer of Dr, Kane's last expedition, sud who leaves bis place in our Dudley Observatory on a fur lough of two years and a half for this purpose.Our beat wishes attend this expedition ; Rat we are led by the power of association to think of those still regions, not for a brief period, but for life ; not to make natural or scientific discoveries, but to teach the degraded inhabitants the wey of salvation, and lead them to the hope of eternal life.They have not failed in their beneficent endeavors, Kane says of them :\u2014 ¥ The labors of the Lutheran and Moravian missionaries have been so far successful among these people, that few of them are now without the pale of Chris- tisnity, and ita reforming influences have affected the moral tone of all.Before the arrival of these self- sacrificing evangelists, murder, incest, burial of the living, and infanticide, were not numbered among crimes.It was unsafe for vessels to touch upon the coast; treachery was as common and as much honored as by the Polynesians of the eastern seas.But, for the last hundred years, Greenland has been safer for the wrecked mariner than many parts of our cosst.Hospitality is the universal characteristic, enjoined upon the converted as a Christian duty, but everywhere a virtue of savage life.From Upernavik to Cape Farewell, the Esquimaux does not hesitate to devote his own meal to the necessities of a guest.The benefits of the missionary school are not confined to the Christianized natives ; and it is observable that the virtues of truth, self-reliance, and generous bearing, have been inculcated successfully with men who atill cherish the wild traditionary superstitions of their fathers.\u201d D.D.Albany, July 13, 1860, The heroic Dr.EDITORIAL NOTICES.\u2014 The \u201c Nova Scotian\u201d arrived at Quebec on Sunday, after a fine voyage.It will be seon by the telegraphic report that Garibaldi bas expelled the Jesuits from Sicily, on the ground that they have long proved themselves the abettors of despotism.\u2014 We are again indebted to the persevering kindness of Messrs.Allan, of Liverpool, for a parcel of the latest papers hy thie \u201cNova Scotian.\u201d They are to the 4th July, and a summary of their most interesting newa will be found in the telegraphic despatches.\u2014 The examination of the pupils in Mrs.Lay's Seminary took place last week, and gave great satisfaction to the parents of the scholars and to the friends of education who were present.The members of the Senior Class, who had completed their studies, passed their examination with great credit.On the subject of Natural Religion their answers showed a thorough and intelligent acquaintance with Paley\u2019s work on that science.The essays read by these young ladies were excellent in moral sentiment, and the style of composition was clear aud forcible.\u2014 Our city readers are reminded to look out for the Eclipse on Wednesday morning, (18th inst.) to begin in this latitude at twelve minutes past 7 o'clock.\u2014 The City Council a few days ago passed the following resolution :\u2014 to open à register ofail De hotel \u201cboardtag\" hou well as private houses and families, showing the accommodation they can afford to strangers visiting the city, on the occasion of the expected visit of the Prince of Wales, stating what they will charge, and all particulars necessary to give ample information to strangers ; that the ssid Committee publish such of the police, an other regulations &s may be necessary to guide and direct strangers, that they may not be subjected to imposition and danger.\u201d We hope the police force will be increased ia number during the Prince's visit, and that our detectives will be on the alert; for among the visitors to the city next mouth, we may expect a number of the swell-mob.Precautions will have to be taken, too, to guard against fire, the risk of which will be increased by the discharge of fire-works and a general illumination.\u2014 A letter in the Sherbrooke Times states that scarlatina has been very prevalent and fatal in the neighborhood of that town since spring.The writer of the letter recommends the Tincture of Belladonna, as prepared by homeopaths, as a specific for the disease.The editor of the Times adds the remark that Belladonna bad been used in many families in Sherbrooke with success.\u2014 The Quebec City Council propose to change the name of one of their streets, calling it in future Prince of Wales\u2019 Street.We have already suggested that Commissioners\u2019 Square should be named Prince of Wales' Square.\u2014 A very significant circumstance in the present riate of European affuirs is the shot fired by Queen Victoria, on.Wimbledon Common, on the 2nd inst.The occasion Was a trial of skill in Rifle shooting by the Volunteers of Britain, to which the marksmen of all countries were admitted, and at which the Queen fired the first shot, Litling the very center of the bull's eye.The explanation of this success is, that the piece was a Whitworth rifle, placed scientifically in a rest, the trigger of which the Queen drew by a silk cord, but the act was not the less a representative one.BY TELEGRAPH.ARRIVAL OF THE \u201cNOVA-800TIAN.\" Queso, July 16, 1860.\u2014The * Nova-Scotian\u201d left Liverpool on the 4th, and Londonderry

in favor of the introduction of the Christian religion in to the Gorers- ment schools of India.Numerous Peers urged the Duke not to press the motion at present, but be persisted, whereupon Lord Brougham moved the previous queslion, which was agreed to, In the House of Commons on tbe same evening, Lord Jobn Russell having recovered from his indisposition reappeared io bis seat and stated in reply to Mr.Sheridan, that it was true there was a party among the Nes- politan Lazzeroni who were opposed to reforms, some of whom had recently sttacked and wounded the French Ambassador.In the event of an outbreak of Lazzeroni Her Majesty's Minister at Naples bad received instructions to demand assistance from the British Admiral, Lord John Ruesell also said ia reply to Sir R.Peel that it was quite true ler Majesty's Government had accepted proposal for a Conference on the question of neutralized districts of davoy, and & similar course had been pursued by the Russian Government.À crisis had occurred in bide and leather trade.Several suspensions are announced.A list headed by large house of Streetfeld, Laurence & Mortimer of London.Liabilities estimated one million to one million and one thousand.Among other stoppages are Wm.Francis & Co., Joseph Hooper, Hooper & Parkinson, Smith, Patient & Smith, J.Herbert Smith & Co., all of London.Entire leather trade thrown into coufu- sion, and other houses were expected to succumb.American houses in Liverpool in the hide trade were not compromised.Failures continue to be announced daily.Value of English hides bad fallen 30 to 40 per cent.The first annual meeting of the National Rifle Association of England, was inaugurated on the 2nd on Wimbledon Common, under the most auspicious circumstances.The Queen and all the members of the Royal family were present.Her Majesty fired the first sbot from a Whitworth rifle, at a range of 400 yards, and strack the centre of the Bull's eye.Prizes to the value of over £2,000 were to be shot for during the week, and some Swiss Riflemen were present to contend for those which were open to all comers.The visit of 3000 French Orpheonists to England was wound up with A Banquet at the Crystal

examine the question whether under the present circumstances a European Conference would be advisable, or whether preference should be given 10 ordinary diplomatic course or to direct negotiations between France and Switzerland.Austria, although ready to assist at the Conference, could not take the initiative, not being directly interested in the question.She therefore leaves to France the task of inducing the majority of the powers to the terms proposed, and accedes beforehand to the decision of the 2 majority.The Heralds Paris correspondent says it is noticed in diplomatic circles that a coldness has sprung up between Austria and France.The Neapolitan minister to France has sent in his resignation to Naples.The report is current that the Emperor would confer on Prince Napoleon all practical prerogatives enjoyed by Prince Jerome, The funeral of Prince Jerome will take place on the 3rd with great pomp.Sarbisia.\u2014It is stated that tbe Russian Government earnestly remonstrated with Piedmont on the recruiting carried on in Sardinia for Garibaldi, notwithstaud- ing the reported declarations that it was without its authority or consent, and that the Sardinian Government bad no

persisted in.COMMERCIAL REVIEW.MONTREAL, Monday Afternoon, July 16, 1800.The weather has been warm and sultry, with scarcely any rain, aod the earth Is once more as dry as meal.The pastures seem scarcely to have felt the rain which fell a week or ten days ago, and any crop which was sowed or planted late ie short and feeble.Jotatoes, pons and corn sowed early have a luxuriant growth, and are soarccly affected by the drought ; but those which were planted after the earth was dry, have not got a fair start at all, and it is questionable If they will now attain an average growth under any circumstances.\u2014 An intelligent correspondent writes to us that he has come to the conclusion, as the result of his observation ln a long business life In Canada, that the seasons go im cycles of sbout seven years.There are usually, bo thinks, three years of bad crops, each getting worse, then one intermediate crop, and then three years of good crops, esch getting better, to be followed by one iutermediate year of ordiuary crop, and three bad years again.lle thiuke last year was the Intermediate, and we are now entering on the three good years.Some authority has, be adds, advanced the same theory with regard to England, but the good years In Eng- 1and correspond with our bad years is America, and vios versa\u2014a most beneficent arrangement for both countries.Our readers are as able to judge of the correctness of the above theory as wo are, as the only possible foundation for it rues be found la past experience.Certainly, the fluctuations of commerce go in cycles, and, doubtless, ome of the chief canses of these Suctustions is the variation of the erops.\u2014 The erops continue to be favorably reported of from almost every quarter, and the expectation of à very plenti- fui

\u201cthey pray to God to take care of them ; and I want my Willie to be a good boy, that God may love him: and you cannot be a good boy if you don't pray.\u201d 4 Father never prays,\u201d answered the little fellow : \u201c father is good and father never prays.\u201d «Q, little Willie, don\u2019t say 80,\" said the tear- fal mother ; you do not know about that; father does not meet with us night and morning, but I trust he prays.\u201d The little boy yielded, and the thoughtful mother pondered the saying in her heart, \u201c Father never prays.\u201d That evening, after the little oneshad laid them down to sleep, and prayed to the Lord, Mr.Land his wife sat quietly together, and the gentle wifetold her husband the story oflittle Willie, and his argument, Father never prays.\u201d The strong man bowed his head, while tears dronedirmon bit oven.hooker Seid Ustquehit an He acknowledged his sinful example, and the two knelt down together, and offered up their first united sacrifice of praise and prayer.From that time Mr.L\u2014\u2014was never absent from the family altar.However pressed with business, he made time to serve God.It is now a most happy, pious family.\u2014 American Messenger.How To PRESERVE STRAWBXRRIES.\u2014Take fine, large strawberries, fresh as they can be obtained, snd as free as possible from bruises, Prep with refined sugar, using as little water as possible.Then put the syrup into a flat ves sel, lined with in, ad 8 800D a8 it is boiling hot, throw in the strawberries, allow them to remain from one to five minutes, take them out with a strainer, and fill the jar, previously warmed > having them placed in hot water, add enough the syrup to fill the between the berries, and seal at once.It is suggested that a still better way for preparing the strawberries for selling will be to put with them as much sugar as its desirable, throw them into s vessel, after standing sn hour, and allow to heat as quick as possible.In this way they will not shrink as much as when the syrup is first made.If glass is the jar should be set in a dark place as the strawberries will bleach ; if tin is used, and it will answer perfectly for the purpose, this precaution is not necessary.For flavoring ice cream and custards, fine, ripe strawberries are taken and mized with an equal quantity, by weight, of sugar, \u2014they are then pu£ into jars and cans, the veasel pi in bot water, which is allowed to boil until the whole mass becomes heated ;

without the opportunities for education which, ut this day, are not withheld from the children of the remotest of the frontier settlements; condemned to unceasing physical toil from his boyhood down to the years in a man's life when honors of office and scholarship begin to accumulate ; denied, during his youth, the opportu- uity for association with men of learning and talent by whom his great powers might have been directed ; until 1858 comparatively unknown to the masses of the people outside of his own State \u2014he has become the head of a great and powerful y containing in its ranks the ripest scholarship, most varied culture, the most earnest religions feeling aud the loftiest patriotism in the land ; and as sure as November rolls around, he will be called by an overwhelming majority of his countrymen to the highest place in the nation.Men who do not know the temper of the popular mind and the imminent necessity for the elevation of a man like Lincoln regard with wonder and astonishment the suddenness of his advancement to a leading position in American affaire.He has not intrigued for the place whieh he so worthily fills; he has not the reputation and prestige of a military commander; he has not the great oratorical power which compels the admiration and obedience of masses of men ; his name is not connected with any great national uprising by which oppressive and hoary abuses have been overthrown ; he has not the vantage of powerful family connections; and he lacks the wealth which sometimes buys place.He is simply a man of conspicuous ability and unquestioned patriotism, who, by the force of his genius, bas gained a place in the front rank of his profession, and an enduring name among his countrymen.But there is something beyond that which has turned all eyes upon him.The want of the country of a military chieftain, a Demosthenes, a successful intriguer, or s Crœsus, but an Honest Man.The affairs of the Republic, long mismanaged, and, to an extent which threatened the foundation of public virtue, were an inextricable confusion.Confidence of EVE se va 020160 ato La become weakened by the prevalence of alarming corruption at the National Capital ; and all men instiotively saw and felt that the management of our national concerns must be entrusted to a President whase whole life bad been a continued guarantee not only of bis ability, but of bis incorruptible integrity, else the government must become powerless for the purpose for which it was instituted, and degenerate into a vast engine of fraud and oppression, rather than an instrament of justice and progress, There were not wanting other men whose names were presented to the Convention\u2014names that carried with them no recollection of intrigue, chicanery or peculation ; but it is no dispraise of them to ny that the popular voice awarded to Mr.Lincoln the merit of being the richest pos sessor of those very virtues which are nece: to the salvation of the Republic; and that the Convention acted in obedience to a great national necessity, when Honest Old Abe was designated as the standard bearer of the Republican hosts, His selection in this emergency, opposed as he was by competitors his equals in ability and his superiors in knowledge of public affairs, was a touching and merited tribute to the exceeding purity of his private life and to the spotlessness of bis publi career, which no teacher of youth oan afford to overlook, and which no patriot can disregard.A single blotch would have marred all.\u2018That it was not looked for with eagerness and bope by those whose fortunes were linked to other men, none who know the details of politics and the influences which control conventions, can doubt, That it was not found ; that it was seen that a more blameless and more useful life has not been lived by any American ; that against him malice and calumny wight do their worst and barm him not, his most zealous opponents are compelled to admit.There was an universal fooling that hero is a man to whom the faith of the nation may be pinned ; here is a man in whom all may rely; whose Integrity is à part of bis be ing; who could not be tempted to abuse his great trust for any purpose whatever ; who will govern the country not in the interest of parties, cliques or poeme, but for the country\u2019s good ;

in fact the matter is now well recognized at the insurance offices, and in the administration of chloroform, where a diseased heart has to be guarded against.It would seom the delicate fibres of the hearts of lads, sent to Oxford especially, who bave been nursed in luxury at home, at once give way or yield before this pressure of \u2018 remora\u2019 of the circulation of the blood, which state never leaves them in after life.The only other analogous affection this physician has met is one amongst the poor half-starved Irish laborers in the street, who work at pounding down big paving stones with a heavy iron pounder; but the conditions in both instances as to remora are identical.\u201d Taz Cagwes.\u2014The worst form in which tobacco is employed, is in chewing.The vegetable is one of the most powerful of narcotics: a very small portion of it, say a couplo of dracbms or less, taken into the stomach might prove fatal.When it is taken into the mouth in smaller portions, and there retained some time, an abeorp- tion into the system of part of it takes place, and which bas a most debilitating effect.If we wish to reduce our physical powers in a glow but certain way, we could not adopt a more convenient process.Who among the chewers of tobacco, not felt that dead x sickness which it occa sionally produces?Those who have experienced these effects will not, I think, deny its great power of relaxing the animal system.\u2014 Anti Tobacco Journal.A Fine Excursion.\u2014Beven young men graduates of the Pennsylvania University, are about Tote, DABLALIe ve ow uislan vavussions through the coal region, up the Juniata and Al- leghany valley, and northward to Niagara.Each shoulders his knapsack and blanket, and twenty six to thirty miles per day is the distance intend ed to be made.Such excursions should be more common, and our young men would shows greater mental as well as physical vigor., A SornowruL Boy.\u2014Oue of the most telling descriptions of \u201c forlornity\u201dwe have heard was that of a boy who asked a Boston police officer for shelter in the Station-house :\u2014See Cap'n, first my father died, and my mother married again, and then my mother died and my father married again, an\u2019 somehow or other I don\u2019c seem to have no parents at all, nor no home, nor no nothing.\u201d Lirz.\u2014Life is to the unhappy as a prison, from whose gloom they can not escape;

pole-beams to not more that four.Beets, onions, carrots, parsneps and tho like, should be repeatedly thinned, until they stand fur enough asunder to allow the full development of root and leaf.Let this be done, too, in good season, or the plants will be drawn up spindling, running to leaves more than to roots.beet, or rota-baga, without a good root, isn't worth much for its leaves.So with flowering plants.Nearly all gardens suggest the ideaof a jungle.Most persons seem ambitious to get as many plants into a given space as it can hold, forgetting that a small number well selected, well developed, and trained, give greater satisfaction.Let the annual plants now coming forward, be subjected to a faithful thinning out, and the advantage will soon be apparent.\u2014 American Agriculturist, SrrEaMs IN Pasture Lanp.\u2014H.B., Ohio, says :\u2014* Those who are so fortunate as to have small streams running through their places, should fix the precise position of their pasture fields here, upon both sides of the stream ; the irregularity of the banks will not admit of very profitable cultivation, and if sodded with blue-grass will improve every year.Trees should be left standing for shading the cattle in summer, and in some degree for protection from the wind in the winter.A field laid out in this manner is so convenient, that scarcely any but those who have tried the experiment are aware of its advantages.Streams of this kind are almost invaluable, as they supply water constantly for the animals, which is much better than watering them regularly, or irregularly, as it may happen ; in which cases their thirst may sometimes become so great that they will drink more than is for their benefit, and will distend their stomachs to sn extent which is injurious.It is better always for stock to be allowed to drink when their inclination prompts, and to always have water before them ; they would then drink no more than they really need.\u201d Mirxrna Orren\u2014I have never practiced milking more than twice a day, because in spring and summer other farm-work was too pressing to allow of it; but there is no doubt that, for some weeks after calving, and in the height of the flow, the cows ought, if possible, to bo milked regularly three times a day\u2014at early morning, noon and night.Every practical dairyman knows that cows thus milked give a larger quantity of milk than if milked only twice, though it may not be quite so rich; and in young cows, no doubt, it has a tendency to promote the develop ment of the udder and milk-veins.A frequent milking stimulates an increased secretion, therefore, and ought never to be neglected in the milk dairy, either in the case of young cows or ve large milkers, at the height of the flow, which will ordinarily be for two or three months after calving.The charge of this branch of the dairy should generally be entrusted to women.They are more gentle and winniog than men, The same person should milk the cow regularly, and not change from one to another, unless there are special reasons for it.To Keer MiLk ror Usk.\u2014A.B.Dickinson is authority for the following: \u2014I have frequently found people who did not know bow to prepare milk for family use; I never argue the question with man or woman, if they do not know that milk can be kept with all the cream on it, as it is when first drawn from tho cow; but I will tell you how it is done.You all know that if go can provent the cream from rising, the milk will be more palatable with the particles of cream mixed through it, than skim-milk, or than milk from a cow, with the fresh taste and odor.To prepare milk in this way, take it while warm from the cow, set it in a cool place and stir it continually until all the animal heat is out, and no cream will rise after that operation.Try it, and sco how much it will be improved for family use, CLEANING CARROTS.\u2014A \u201cTenant Farmer\u201d of Canada says he drills his carrots two fect apart, using from two to three lbs of seed peracre.As soon as the carrots fairly make their appearance, he runs a horse hoo between tho rows as close as ible without disturbing the carrots.Then Follow with tho hand hoo, walking backwards, 80 a8 not to tread on till the carrots are thinved.If the oultivator is run between tho rows in the meantime, it will be the newly cut weeds, and leaving not moro than an inch of unhoed ground on each side of the row.This strip of weeds may be allowed to remain an advantage.Thinning is rather à tedious process, it has Lo be done br nd.He leaves the Orange und Red carrots elx inches apart, and the White or Belgium oar- rots from six to ten inches apart in the rows.\u2014 After this he goes over them again, cutting out woeds and thinning any carrots that may have been left double.An ovossional band boeing afterward is an advantage.

Where d'ye larn all that ?\u201d « Partly from reading, and partly from observation,\u201d answered John, smiling at bis good neighbor's open sarcasm.pis 5 don\u2019t s\u2019pose it costs anything to do all this ?\u201d Oh, yes, it will cost me considerable before I get through.\u201d \u201cYes : should think twould !\u201d \u201cI say!\u201d be cried, as he met Sawyer shortly afterwards.\u201c John Walton'sabout as nigh bein\u2019 crazy as a man can be!\u201d \u201c Eh ?\u2014orazy, Ben ?\u201d * Oh, he\u2019s got his head full of all sorts of nonsense.\u201c He's got his stable floor all torn away, and a trench dug there big enough to hold more'n twenty cart-loads of dirt.\u201d \u201c But what in nature's he goin\u2019 to do?\u201d \u201cWhy, be\u2019s goin\u2019 to save the liquids, as he call \u2019em !

He'd better let such fan- dangles alone if he over expeots to make à livio\u2019 at farmin\u2019.\u201d Before the ground froze up, Walton throw out most of the muok behind Bie stable, which had become well saturated, and filled the trench up anew.The old farmers had a great many apple trees, and mado à great deal of cider; but the fruit was of an inferior quality.When spring came, Walton went to some of bis neighbors, and asked them to go in with him, and send for some good scions to engraft upon their apple trees.He cxpluined to them just the plan he had formed for his own orchard.He had engaged a competent man to come and do the work of grafting, and, while they were about it, it wo iy cheaper to get grafts enough for the whole neighborhood.et gra ve It was of Lu-use.The old orchards were just such as their fathers had, and thoy were good enough.So Walton went at it alone.He bad his trees all pruned and dressed, and nearly all of them grafted to such fruit as he thought would thrive best and sell best.À little while later, and Ben Grummet had occasion to open his eyes.He found that Joho Walton had contrived to bave a hundred and forty full loads of manure, all of which had been made within the year.However, he finally shook his head, and said, \u201cWait.We'll see if it's good for anything.\u201d À lite while later, and the grass began to spring up on the twenty-acre lot as it had never sprung up before.The two acres which had been ploughed, and harrowed up light aod fine, bore the best crop of corn in the whole county, and all the manure put upon it was some which had been manufactured.And go the time went on, and John Walton was continually studying how toimproveliis farm.At the expiration of a few years the new scions had grown lurge and strong in his orchard, and began to bear fruit.He had taken care of his trees, and they were about ready to return him interest for the labor.\u201c Good gracious!\u201d ejaculated Eben Sawyer, as Ben Grummet and Sam Bancroft came into his house one cool autumn evening, and the three filled their mugs with new cider; \u201chave you heard about John Walton's apples 7\u201d \u201c1 knew there was a man up to look at 'em,\u201d returned Ben ; \u201c but I ain\u2019t heard no more.\u201d \u201c Well, I was there, and heerd the whole on\u2019t \u2014s0 I koow\u2014I never would \u2019ave thought it.An orchard turn out like that!\u201d \u201c But how much was it?\u201d \u201c Why, Walton was offered\u2014cash right down \u2014a hundred pounds for the apples he has got on hand ; and he tells me that he sent nearly fifty pounds\u2019 worth of early fruit off a month or more It was wonderful \u2014more than wonderful ! But they had to believe it.And look at that twenty-acre field,\u201d said Ban- eroft.\u201cTen yesrs ago it wouldn't hardly pay for mowin\u2019 ; now look at it.Think o\u2019 the corn and wheat he has gained there; and this year he bed without s terrapin or oyster supper, with plenty of champagne ; and more than that he mas never known to be drank.Se here is 8 iving example and di temperance twaddle about the Friend tendency of an occasional glass, and the effect of a temperate use of good liquors.\u201d Now it happened that this specimen of safe brandy-drinkiog was a relation of ours.He died in a year or two after that, of a chronic disrrbeea, a common end of those who are never out of liquor.He left six children, and be had ships on every sea, and credit at every counter, which be never had occasion to use.Four months before he died (he was a year dying) he could eat or drink nothing without distrees; and the whole alimen canal was & mass of disease; in the midat of his millions, he died of inanition.This is not the half reader.He has been a steady drinker, for the last twenty.eight years.He left a legacy to bis children, which we will not mention.fula had eaten up one daughter of fifteen ; another is in the mad-bouse, the third and fourth were of unearthly beauty, but they blighted and paled, snd faded into heaven we trust, in their sweetest teens ; another is tottering on the verge of the grave, and only one of them is left all bis senses, each one of them as weak as water.Why, we came from the dissecting room and made a note of it, it was so horrible.\u2014 Hall's Journal of Health.Tae MiNisTay.\u2014To a life of prayer must be added deep, constant study of God's word, for our own spiritual growth.It is not a superficial reading of it for the sake of others which will do.If we limit ourselves to this, we shall but defeat our own purpose;

and see what prices he gets for his cows and oxen.Why, he tells me he\u2019s cleared over four hundred pounds this year on his stock.\u201d At this moment Mr.Walton came in.He bad grown older, aud was somewhat stouter than when be first became a farmer, and his neighbors had ceased to question his capacity, and had come to honor and respect him.\u201c We was talkin\u2019 about you, Mr.Walton,\u201d said Sawyer.\u201cAb!\u201d returned Joho, as he took a seat by the fire, \u201cI hope you found nothing bad to say of me.\u201d \u201cNot a bit of it.We was talkin\u2019 about the wonderful improvements you've made on the old place, and the money you make.\u201d \u201c And do you think it wonderful ?\u201d \u201cBut ain't it ?\u201d \u201c Well,\u201d replied Walton, \u201c I don't know about that ; but I'll tell you what I do koow.I know there is no class of people in the world who may study the arts and sciences to better advantage than farmers; and yet I am sorry to say, there is no class, as a clus, oooupying the same socis] position who read and study less ;
