only temporarily however, we fancy.It will be composed, we understand, altogether of men at present in the public service\u2014with perhaps the sole exception of the younger Dr.Taché.We have heard, but from no reliable source, that ihe Government has been overwhelmed with applications for appointments to this Board.If so it seems they cut the knot by installing old hands without political influence backing or opposing them.» We believe » we fancy » we understand » we have beard, but from no reliable source » if so, it seems surely, a more amusing example of the indefinite article never outraged the common sense of the Gazette\u2019s readers.» Tell me where is fancy bred, How begot, bow nourished !\u201d Personal\u2014We cut the following from the late issue of the Montrose [Scotland] Review.The gentleman, whose decease our Scottish contemporary so feelingly deplores, was the father of our esteemed fellow citizen, Mr.Cowie, of the firm of Forster Cowie & Co :___ In our obituary of to-day, says the Review, is recorded the departure of one of our best known and most estimable citizens, Mr.Alexander Cowie.This mournful event took place at his house, Panmure Terrace, on the afternoon of Thursday, ihe 3d instant, after an ili-nessotonly a few days duration.After pursuing a successful mercantile career in the great Southern metropolis, Mr.Cowie returned to Montrose, his native town, about sixteen or seventeen years ago ; and during the whole of this not inconsiderable period, he has held a conspicuous place on the roll of our various philanthrophic and charitable institutions, as one of their warmest friends, and most active and liberal supporters.His time, and means, and cordial sympathies were ever most freely given to whatever cause or institution ha deemed fitted to advance the temporal or spiri-tual good of his tellow men.But public societies were not the only medium through which his benevolence was exercised.Sensitively shrinking Irom all parade and ostentation, and acting on the divine inculcated maxim, » let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth,\u201d Mr Cowie found numerous private channels through which his warm-hearted sympathy flowed forth in deeds of kindness to the Buffering and destitute around him.Perhaps few even of his more intimate friends are fully aware of the extent to which his heart and his hand were thus habitually responsive to the claims of the poor and needy.His generous impulses were under the control of an enlightened intelligence, and a refined and scrupulous conscientiousness ; and these qualities, combined with an amiable, gentlemanly demeanour, and a singularly systematic and faithful performance of every duty undertaken by him, secured tor Mr.Cowie a rare amount ot respect and affection among all classes of the community.His removal from the midst of us occasions a blank, as well in the circles of private friendship, as in the sphere of public usefulness, which will not be easily supplied j and occurring at such a short interval after the death of his brother, Mr.Robert Cowie, has elicited deep and wide-spread sympathy tor his bereaved and sorrowful relatives.Ode Coloured Fellow-Citizens.\u2014At the meeting of the coloured inhabitants ot this city, held in the Bonaventure Hall, on Friday last, to express their sympathies for Mr.John Brown, Messrs.Thos.Cook, C.F.Seldon and Mathew Bell were appointed a committee to carry out the object of the meeting.We have been requested to publish the following :\u2014 The Committee having reported that after paying the expenses of the Hall, the amount realised on the occasion was $65.86c., it was Resolved,\u2014That this amount be paid over to Henry Lyman, Esq., for the benefit of the late Mr.John Brown\u2019s family.The Committee also return their sincere thanks, on behalf of the meeting, to the citizens and Press of Montreal, for their unbounded liberality.Philip Lee, Jr., Secretary.Montreal, Dec.5.1859.New York Mayoralty.\u2014It will be seen that the Republicans in New York City entertain hopes of the success of their candidate.\u2014 Havemeyer was brought out, really or pretend-edly, by (he respectable part of the Democrats against Wood, who has been looked upon as the partizan of rowdyism.It was said by the Republicans, however, that those who were sincere in desiring to keep Wood out had been deceived by the nomination of Havemeyer, which was done by the wire pullers, according to them, for the purpose of dividing the strength of the respectable part of the community and letting Wood in.Looking at it from a merely political point of view Opdyke gains by the division of the Democrat party.From Poi Hand.21st Jan\u2019y 4th Feb.31st Mar.14th April, 28th April, Canadian Ocean Steamships to Stop at St.John, New Brunswick.\u2014The St.John Courier of 26th November, says :\u2014The followingletter, from the Agents of the Canadian Ocean Steamship Line, was this morning received by T.W.Daniel, Esq., who has been, for some time past in communication with them, in reference to their Steamships touching here, and which it is deemed advisable to publish for general information :\u2014 Montreal, Nov.22, 1859.T.W.Daniel, Esq.St.John, N.B.Dear Sir,\u2014We have delayed answering your letter of the 29th ultimo, till we decided in what manner our steamships would visit St.John this winter.Our present ideas are, that every second vessel is likely to go there, and if such should be the case, it will make twelve in all, which will amply supply all your wants\u2014but even if this view should not be carried out, we will, if it suits the convenience of your merchants arrange that the Sailing from Liverpool.North Briton.28th Dec.Nova Scotian.11th Jan, Hungarian.7th Mar.North Briton.21st Mar.Nova Scotian.4th\tApril, Shall all go to St.John\u2014the two first to bring passengers, the three last to carry ont goods.We cannot, however, afford to make the passage money to Liverpool from St.John less than Eighty-five Dollars, or the freight of goods out less than Seventy Shillings Stg.q£3 10s.) per ton.Please advise us if the above arrangement will be suitable.We are, yonrs truly, Edmonstone, Allan & Co.New Postal Arrangements with the United States.\u2014The Toronto Ledger, in its issue of Monday last, says that the Canadian Postmaster General\u2019s recent arrangements with the United States Government have been fully ratified by the Imperial authorities.Our Ministerial contemporary thus sketches the effect of Mr.Smith\u2019s agreement with the Post Office Department at Washington\u2014he says :____ Under the engagement entered into, we are to carry the Western United States Mails, between Detroit and Liverpool; via Portland, in winter, and via Riviere Lu Loup, in summer.The Eastern section of the Grand Trunk Railroad thus becomes of greater importance than had been anticipated ; there will be a saving of time by using the Railroad instead of the Steamers between Quebec and Riviere du Loup.Canada is to receive the full ocean rate on the Western United States correspondence, for the service she is to perform ; while she foregoes the inland rate of postage upon it, as do also the Americans the internal postage on Canadian letters, between Portland and the Province line.The Americans are to have, between the THE LOSS OF THE \u201cINDIAN.\" It is gratifying to find, by the following letter published in the Pilot of Monday evening, that all the vessels belonging to our Canadian line of Ocean steamships are built of the best quality of marine plates, and that the late melancholy total loss of the » Indian\u201d was attributable to the violence of the elements, and not to any fragility in the material of which she was built.[To the Editor of the Pilot.'] Sir,\u2014We cannot of course pretend to notice the various comments in which the newspapers indulge, relative to the unfortunate loss of'the Indian.Some of these are remarkable for anything rather than kindly feeling or knowledge of the subject, and are characterised more by an apparant desire to prejudge the case on one-sided evidence, than to ascertain the truth.We do not ask aoy indulgence in the matter; but surely it might have been expected, from the nature and importance to the Province of the enterprise in which we are engaged, that no attempt would have been made to make this misfortune appear worse than it really is.Not having yet seen Captain Smith, or received from him any detail of the circumstances, we cannot offer an opinion as to the cause of the vessel getting on shore, nor as to his conduct afterwards.Both of these matters will be investigated in proper time.The interest of the public is our interest, and we have no greater anxiety than to get the best men to command our steamers, and to give general satisfaction.It would, however, be strange indeed if Captain Smith, who has sailed in the Indian ever since she was built\u2014for three years as first officer under Captain Jones, and by him strongly recommended for a command, and for the last year as Oaptain, making four successful voyages to the St.Lawrence, and who was generally liked by his passengers\u2014should all all at once have acted in the extraordinary manner which he is represented to have done.Our present object, however, is not to defend him, but to nptice an article in your paper of Saturday, which is calculated to produce an er_ roneous impression with regard to the construction of the Indian.You say\u2014 \u201cBoth Vessels, [the Jfoi/af Charter and the/n-tftan.] it appears, broke up at once and completely, the first weakening of the frame being the signal for the general disruption of thewhole fab-ricand the entire mass of the material separating and disappearing with a celerity which gave little chance for the saving of life.\u201d This is altogether erroneous as regards the Indian, no such events having taken place, and it would have been well if you had ascertained the truth, before publishing such a grave statement.The facts, as we understand them, are as follows .\u2014 The vessel ran on shore just at the top of high water and rested by the middle on a rocky ridge, the fore and after ends being to some extent water borne.When the tide fell the ends were of course unsupported, and their own weight, with about 900 tons of coals and cargo stowed in them, naturally tended to press them downwards.The forward coal bunker which extends across Ihe ship between tbe foreboilers and the cargo, was nearly empty, the vessel having almost reached the end of her vovage and the heavy swell on the reef, with the weight fore and aft and the centre nearly empty, caused the ship to break across just at the forward bunker.We doubt if there is any vessel, whether built of wood or iron, which similarly situated,would not have gone tbe same way.But it is not true that there was any general disruption of the whole fabric,\u201d or that the vessel \u201cbroke up at once and completely.\u201d On the contrary, during the whole day of Monday and Tuesday, the after-half of the vessel was uninjured.It remained perfectly upright and the deck was as level and dry as the floor of your office ; indeed, we believe that until Tuesday night no water had come into the saloon, though we are not ceetain on that point.The forward portion of the ship was also unbroken,____and the heavy sea, raised by the storm on Wednesday, lifted both ends over the reef and sunk them in deep water, we think that so far from a general disruption, they are each complete to this day, and will probably remain so for some time to come.No loss of life took place from the breaking across of'the ship.We have not yet seen any one who can fully explain this matter, but as far as we can learn at present, the loss of life was occasioned by the breaking of one of the tackles of a boat overcrowded by people while she hung at the davits, and before she was fairly lowered into the water.It is quite certain that if the people had remained in the ship till daylight no life would have been lost ; and so far from her \u201cseparating and disappearing with celerity which gave little chance for the saving of life,,\u201d they might have continued on board in perfect safety till next day and the next also.About thirty of tb« officers and crew of the ship, and two or three passengers, were on hoard- HU three o\u2019clock on Monday afternoon.The Canadidn and Indian, and all our steamers, are bnilt of the best quality of marine plates,\u2014those of the two first cost £14 10s at a time when common plates were selling at£9 10s to £10 10s per ton.We deeply lament the occurrence of this accident, and have done everything in our power to alleviate it.But we are heavy losers by it in many ways,\u2014and we think we are entitled to a fair statement of the truth.We are, sir, your obedient servants, EDMONSTONE, ALLAN & OO.Military Promenade Concert and Ball:____ This Concert takes place on Friday evening next, under the patronage of His Excellency Sir W.F.Williams, K.C.B., Commander of the Forces.The Programme offers a rich treat to the lovers of music, comprising, as it does, some of the most exquisite gems of song.The Scottish Nightingale, Miss Agnes Sutherland, has been engaged for the occasion.We have no doubt the City Concert Hall will be crowded.\u2014See advertisement.CSMBEK ?.MS.Mr.Leeming sold at his rooms, yesterday the well-known \u201c Webster Property,\u201d divided into three Lots of about 21 feet 6 inches front on Notre Dame Street, by about 75 feet deep.Lot No.1 (next Masson\u2019s Block) sold for £1380, to Louis L\u2019Hnssier, Esq.Lot No.2 sold for £1305, to J.B.Beaudry, Esq.Lot No.3 sold for £1305, to J.B.Beaudry, Esq.Each Lot was sold subject to a charge of £83 6s.8d.tor Commutation, over and above these nrices.St.George\u2019s Snow-Shoe Club.\u2014At the annual meeting held by the above Club, on Monday, the 5th December, in the Bonaven-ture Hall, the following gentlemen were duly elected as office-bearers for the present season, viz :\u2014 President\u2014Mr.J.Maek.Vice-President\u2014Mr.J.Daracott.Secretary and Treasurer\u2014Mr.A.Morris.Committee\u2014Messrs.H.Vass, H.Harkin, E.Irwin, Geo.Follenus, and T.Hardisty.Erratum.\u2014In the Law Report which appeared in this paper on Saturday, in the case of C alien against Henry and Hogan, Opposant, it should have been Hagan, Opposant.Irish Protestant Benevolent Society.\u2014 The Annual Concert of this truly Charitable, and well managed Society, will be held on the first Thursday of the new year.This morning, at half-past 10 o\u2019clock, Mr.Shaw will sell, at the residence, No.1 Richmond Place, beyond Richmond Square, St.Antoine Street, the whole of the Household Furniture and Effects.See advertisement.HOME MISSION SCHEME OF THE P1IÏSMÏMM CfiDffl OF CANADA, .Reported for the Montreal Herald.A public meeting of the members and friends of the Presbyterian Church of Canada in connection with the Church of Scotland, was held in St.Andrew\u2019s Church, on Monday evening, the 5th instant, at 7 o\u2019clock, for the purpose of devising measures for the establishment of a General Home Mission scheme.The Rev.Dr.Mathieson, Pastor ot St.Andrew\u2019s Church, took the chair, and, along with the Rev.Mr.Snodgrass, opened the meeting with appropriate religious exercises.These having been concluded, The Chairman said that he presumed they were all generally aware of the objects of the meeting, from the circular address put into theii pews yesterday, and the announcement given from the pulpit.He wished, in all sincerity, that some one better qualified than he was had been called upon to fill the chair ; but as he had been chosen, he must throw himself upon the indulgence of the meeting.He wished that the enthusiasm of youth could return to him that he might now throw all his mental and physical powers into a work, the greatest which had been undertaken since the Church had come iato existence.The Rev.J.Cook, D D., Quebec, rose and said The general object of this meeting is known to }he members of both cono-ra^ai;,.^ ana iv is nov pernaps necessary that 1 should enter at any great length into an explanation of it ; a few words, however, on the recent history and present condition ot our Church in this Province may make more clear what it is which, under the instructions of the Synod, we claim from your Christian liberality, and why we claim it.It is not yet twenty years since the struggle of the Scotch Church in this Province for a share of the proceeds of the lands reserved for the maintenance of the Protestant Clergy, was terminated in our favor, by a decision of the twelve Judges of England and an Act of the Imperial Parliament, purporting to make a final settlement of the matter, and by which a third of the interest of all funds already received from the sale of Reserve Lands, and one-sixth of all to be received from future tales, was given to the Church of Scotland in this Province.What was thus given by Imperial authority to the Church could not, in any circumstances, be expected to yield a full provision for its ministers, or to place it on the footing of an established or endowed church.But two benefits it conferred while we had it, and would to a great extent have continued to confer, had we been allowed to retain it, of which our Church\u2014not in this respect differing from other Protestant bodies in the Province\u2014stood and stands in special need.To understand one of those benefits we have only to consider the condition of the new and comparatively recent settlement in the back-woods, such as you are all familiar with in this Province, though they are retiring further and further from the great centre of population and commerce.Among the lately felled treesof such settlements\u2014the charred and ragged stumps,\u2014the spots of imperfect cultivation_ in the remote little log houses of a single chamber, from which a thin thread of smoke is rising in the cold\u2014away from the charities of home and the privileges and advantages of an old society\u2014perhaps at the distance of miles from each other, we find a few scattered families of our own countrymen gallantly engaged in a struggle with the hard necessities of life\u2014toiling to subdue the earth to the use of man\u2014 scarce able to procure for themselves the most common necessaries, and only cheered by the hope that they might yet become lords of the soil, and win independence for themselves and their children.Is there no sympathy due to men so employed\u2014so tried\u2014so struggling, on whose strong arms and warm hearts depend the hopes of an intermediate generation?Have they no claim for encouragement among the unavoidable necessities of their lot ?It is from the labour of men like these that all the wealth of the Province proceeds.It is their labour that has made the country great and will make it greater ; and what would this great city be but lor the labours of item, and the descendants of such as they.And yet are there any circumstances in which the enjoyment of the ordinances ot religion and the strength and consolation to be drawn from the Sabbaih ministrations, and the every day sympathy of a minister of the goepel, can at once be more necessary, and without external care more unattainable?Old habits\u2014the sacred associations of former days\u2014tho remembrance of village churches round which the ashes ot kindred dead are resting, and the sense of present difficulties and trials, all combine with higher principles and with aspirations such as a virtuous training has improved aad nourished, to make them desire that social worship to which they have been accustomed, and after the old forms in which successive generations have offered it to the God and Father of All.But what is the lesult if that desire is not satisfied ?It very easily and very frequently diminishes, and every succeeding year of silent Sabbaths diminishes the desire for the voice- of prayer and praise, and in process of time a generation grows up, unaccustomed and indifferent to the services of the Sabbath, and the sanctuary.It is unspeakably to the credit of our emigrant countrymen that they make many an effort amid their poverty and toil, to prevent such a consummation ; and here it was that the public provision came to their aid\u2014not to free them altogether from the duty of supporting among themselves the ordinances of religion, but to give them the aid which their circumstances required.The material prosperity ol many now thriving towns and villages in the Upper Province may be attributed to the public liberality which aided iu the building of churches and the endowment of ministers in what was then almost a wilderness.This was one benefit, in considering which we have had regard chiefly to the congregation ; the second benefit has reference more immediately to tho minister.It is not, as you know, the practice of our church to take a man, however piously disposed, from any ordinary occupation, and lay hands on him as a minister of the gospel.Our church requires iu candidates for the ministry a long preparatory tiaining.\u2014When any man who has undergone such training submits to become the minister ot an humble country congregation ot the back-woods, and resolves to spend his life there without any hope of change it is a sacrifice for which no pecuniary reward can make up.Nor does he expect it ; for his reward is his own conscience and in tbe approbation of his Great Master.But he should not be placed in the position of a pauper, depending upon what he may receive from the hard earnings of the members of his congregation who are struggling to support their families.It very much helps a man in his position to have some leeling, at least in some measure, of pecuniary independence ; for it does not at all be- long to the respect which a congregation should have for their minister, to think that at any time they can reduce him to beggary.I think it right, now, in the interest of our own and all Protestant churches, to say that our ministers are most insufficiently paid, and unless there is some change in this respect the cause of religion must be affected.The result of this disregard of pecuniary conditions will be that those qualified will not join the ministry : and the result will be as an American clergyman said strongly, perhaps, but truly, that if members will only give 400 dollar salaries they will only get 400 dollar ministers.I do not plead for large emoluments for ministers, but only for such as will support them in a manner becoming their office.What reason has any one to suppose that God will raise up servants great in his cause, while money-worshipping, mammon-worshipping men are so remiss in their duty ?The Reserve Fund, aided, as I have said, poor congregations, and increased the salaries of ministers and gave them a certain measure of independence.What are we to do to make up for the loss of this ?Our Protestant and Presbyterian compatriots, though they have never been able to wrest any public provision from the Romish Church were found strong enough to wrest this Fund from the support of Protestantism.The question now is, how are we now to secure and increase the benefits which this Fund conferred ?You are aware that the Imperial Parliament secured the stipends for life to* existing ministers, and that the Provincial Parliament sanctioned the commutation of these stipends for a fixed sura, which sum amounted to over £100,-000, and has been made over by our ministers to the church for the permanent support of the ministry.And, in addition, a sum of £12,000, saved from the Reserved Fund has been donated for the same purpose\u2014a sum which, it is only fair iu passing to say, would never have been accumulated if the ministers had chosen to have the annual proceeds of the Reserve Fund annually distributed among them.Thus providentially there is a large sum wherewith to commence an endowment fund.It is the impression of the ministers that they have some claim to call upon the laity to contribute to this object ; the same was the impression of the elders in the Synod of 1856, and in subsequent Synods.We are here this evening to make that appeal, and it will now be seen whether we are to go on for ever making this appeal, or whether we will hare to give it up in despair.It is not in this building, so honourable to the taste and munificence of the Presbyterians of Montreal, that I would expect an unfavourable answer\u2014nor from the members of the congregation who have contributed by their means to the erection of almost every church we have in the Province, and who stand in the first rank of contributors to every good work to which tho church calls them.You are not of those who desert, in a distant land, the church of your fathers.You are not of those who are drawn away by high-sounding titles or bold pretensions, or who can see foundation in the Scriptures either for a Roman or an .anglican hierarchy.You are of those who manifest their testimony and attachment to our simple and Scriptural Presbyterianism.And, having done so much for yourselves, we beseech of you to look with a charitable eye on the wants of your brethren.Our Saviour said it was better to give than to receive, and a generous temper is a source of unspeakable benefit to those who possess it.In this world we should labour for each other, so that we may sow what others in their time will reap.We ought to follow the lessons which our fathers taught, and keep their virtues before our eyes ; for in a short time all of us must stand before the Lord, and let us act then in such a manner that we shall not be put into confusion when the question is asked, \u201c What hast thou done unto me?\u201d [Applause.] Archibald Baker, Esq., Markham, Ganada West, came forward to propose the first resolution.Having alluded to the exoitemeut which had been caused by the Clergy Reserve question in Upper Canada; and the noble manner in which the ministers of the Presbyterian Church had acted with regard to their portion, he said that the fund which had thus been raised was not new sufficient for the purposes of the church.In the Upper Province the brethren were not so prosperous as the brethren here ; and it ought lobe the desire of every true friend of the church that a sufficient sum should be raised for the purposes of religion.The clergy having done so much, the laity should now do something, and they were now asked for their material aid and their moral influence.They had come to the city of Montreal, because there was no other city of Montreal in the Province.Montreal had ihe largest commerce of any city in the Province, and it had, by its energy and enterprise, raised a monument such as the world had never beheld, and which would yet, he believed, unite in bonds of commerce both the eastern and western hemispheres.Under these advantages, he was certain that the aid now asked in this city would not be asked in vain, for those whom he now addressed had always contributed liberally to every church in the Western Province.To inaugurate the scheme now set forth rested upon them, and also the serious responsibility contributions\u2019ought to be larger than from any other city iu Ganada.There was but one St.Lawrence, yet the Upper Province contributed by its lakes, rivers and rivulets, to that river which carried on its bosom the finest vessels in the world.He hoped that they would earnestly support this scheme, which would have the greatest effect on generations yet unborn.[Applause.] He concluded by moving the first resolution :\u2014 \u201cThat the Temporalities Fund under the control of the Synod for the benefit of the church, is a privilege calling for grateful acknowledgment, and involving the most serious responsibility, in regard to its improvement and extension.\u201d \u2014 Neilson, Esq., Belleville, seconded the resolution with great pleasure.They were indebted, he said, a great deal to their ministers, but they were, in duty, bound to repay them for this Christian liberality.Without the laity now stepped in with aid, many congregations, in many localities would be unable to support their ministers decently or even to give them the salaries received by the clerks of any respectable establishment, or the amount received by a mechanic.It was the duty of all who heard him to endeavour to supplement this fund so as to meet the increasing wants of the church._ Settlements were extending further back, and more ministers were required, but as ths funds now stood it was impossible to send ministers to the settlements.Young congregations in those places were unable to support a minister, and then, the consequence was the absence of tbe ordinances of religion.Those who came to the back-woods were not the richest people, and, unless they were assisted by their brethren who had the means, they could not enjoy those spiritual advantages to which they were elsewhere accustomed.\u2014Applause.The Chairman here put the resolution, which passed unanimously.Colonel E.W.Thompson, Toronto, came forward to propose the second resolution.He said that he claimed the privilege which none of the speakers who came before him could claim, that was being a native of Upper Ganada.(Applause.) His father who was not a native of the United States, left that country at the commencement of the Revolutionary War, and settled in Upper Canada.He suffered many privations, and the want of religious ordinances was amongst the chief.He\u2014the speaker\u2014 recollected, some 40 years ago, coming with his lather to this city, when he heard preached, for the first time a i?res by Lena u Sermon.On their way home his father said \u201cOh that I could live to see the day whea we might have religious ordnances in our parts, then I should die hai-py.\u201d But he h id the happiness of seeing,before his death, a congregation established in Scarborough, and that church had progressed and now stood in as favourable a position as any other congregation in any district with the same population.[Applause.] The congregation of Scarborough had always been liberal, and he hoped the congregation of this church, would act, as he was certain they would, in the same spirit.From whatever cause it arose there was no doubt that the Church of Scotland, until within the last few years did not exercise much zeal in Canada ; but now thank God, there was a great amount of good doue through the efforts of the church at home.It was highly necessary to put the ministers here on a better footing ; and, if such were the ease the good effect would be very great.In many districts, some time ago, the efforts of Episcopalians, Methodists and Baptists, and also those of other denominations, were plainly seen, as regarded the Fres-byterian emigrants.Not that he blamed them for going about to spread the Gospel, for a great deal of good was done in this itinerant way, but he thought the Scottish Church might have been more vigilant.But now the day was not far distaut, when the Church of Scotland would have reports of Churches, if not of Synods, coming from the Rocky Mountains.\u2014 Having spoken of the advantages of their college at Kingston in preparing young men for the Ministry, aad the zeal manifested by many it sent forth, the speaker urged upon the audience the necessity of placing the ministers thus sent out in a better pecuniary condition.He hoped that efforts would be made in this city, certainly the most beautiful one in Canada, in fact ihe Queen city of the Province\u2014and he did not think there was such a splendid site for a city in America, for he had seen a great many of them\u2014he hoped, then, that in thisgreat locality for business, tbe scheme now set forth would not be allowed to fall to the ground.\u2014 This city was the outlet of the produce of a vast extent of country, which produce the people of the Upper Province were endeavouring every year to make more abundant.The produce of Canada West as well as the Western States must fiud its way to the Atlantic through Montreal ; and therefore, for this and other reasons, this city must maintain its position as the foremost one in Canada for a long time to come.He hoped, then; that with all these advantages, the people whom he now addressed would set an example worthy of being followed by every other city in Canada.(Applause.) He concluded by moving the resolution \u201c That the time has now come when the dutv of making a more respectable and efficient provision for the maintenance of religious ordi- nances, and more especially of meeting the in.creasing urgent demands throughout the Pro.vince, for the organization of new congregations and the settlement of Ministers ot the Gospel in connection with our Church, cannot be any longer honourably or safely delayed ; and that, therefore, this meeting resolve to countenance an immediate and general effort to institute a supplementary Home Mission Fund.\u201d The Colonel retired amid applause.Rev.James Baine, Scarborough, said\u2014 From what I have seen to-night of the lay-speakers who have preceded me, I am persuaded that we,t in the West, are blessed with a very fair specimen of Eldership.[Hear.] If all our churches had the privilege of such men as Colonel Thompson and Mr.Barker, I do not know what we might hope for.I will not detain you long ; yet there are a few things I wish to say.I think that the support and extension of religious institutions is a duty which professing Christians will at all times cheerfully recognize, and the present movement has particular claims on them.Previous to the secularization of the Clergy Reserves, this branch of the Church of Scotland depended on that source chiefly for supplying the ordinances of religious worship to young and rising settlements.The funds at the disposal of those who were tho administrators of the Reserves were, to a great extent, not adequate to the exigencies of new settlements ; and after the commutation it was seen that the limited annuaV ome, if the Church would extend, would dwindle down to a pittance not worth dividirg or receiving.So it will be seen that if the funds then could afford to give 100 ministers £100 a-year, that when their number increased it could afford to give 200 ministers only £50, and 300 £30 and a fraction.In consequence ot the salaries\trapidly assuming this diminishing shape, the present appeal has been made, and must be met if the church wants to hold her ground in this United Province.The commutation fund means this\u2014it is the value of the life interest to which the minister was entitled by act of Parliament, which the ministers threw into a common fund for the benefit of the church of God and his ministers, and the pecuniary relief of the people for all time coming.* These selfish aud greedy men, as they were called, might have a £150 a year each as long as they Jived, but they said : no\u2014v/e will De content with £112.They also might have taken the principal of the £150, and let it out at interest, realilizing incomes varying, according to each case, from £100 to £300 a year, and hand down the principal for the benefit of their children.But they said no; we wish the church of our fathers to stand and prosper in this the land of our adoption, and we are content to limit ourselves to the reduced life interest.This is what the commuting ministers did.Oh, but, says some, these ministers took what did not belong to them\u2014their incomes were not a £150 a year.Now, we in the West are sometimes not over scrupulous in our statements, and I fear it is sometimes a habit with ns (a laugh).But let me tell you that the income arising from the Reserves for the year 1853, which were fixed by act of Parliament, to regulate the commutation allowed every minister, was not £159, but £156 and upwards, so that the amount at the disposal of the church was actually underdrawn by several hundred pounds.[Applause.] Nor was this all, for the truth should be made known.A number of ministers incur church formerly belonged to the Associate Synod, and never were paid out of the Reserves at all, but always out of the Government Treasury.In our Presbytery of Toronto we had four or five of these most respecte d men, and on the division of the Reserve Fund tor 1853 they were taken up and ranged with those who had always been in it, and, consequently, the fund accruing was pro-portionably diminished.The Act of secularization cannot effect these men, and they ought to have been in receipt of £75 a year, but by taking them upon our fund the public treasury has been relieved of their salaries atthe expense of our church.Those are the facts, and I mention them here in vindication of the church aud that you may judge of the veracity of ihe calumniators.After referring to the gigantic efforts made in Scotland by the mother church there on behalf of the quaad sacra churches missions, etc., the speaker closed thus:\u2014In\u2019 the old country we were wont to hear it stated that America was a great country, and the people a great people.Of the people I will say nothing, as I now happen to be one of them; but as to the country, I think we, Canadians, may claim the lion\u2019s share of greatness.We have great plains, great forests, and those of great beauty and tertility.We have great lakes, that have no compeers on this terraqueous globe.We have the great Falls of Niagara.These are the works of God, and well may we exclaim\u2014\u201cHis works are wonder-full, and in wisdom He haih made them all.\u201d But we have begun to be great also in the works of man.That Bridge, there, that spans that noble river is a [triumph of engineering skill ana enterprise without rival on the earth.It is, iu fact, a peerless bridge, besides which Menai and Bada Pest, and all the bridges ever made hide their diminished heads.But tlli.i, bl.fPlAr Jjw.lavAonhit .ti'-s-.oru tor you, which you have little dreamed of.For a time it looked very problematical, and seemed like a mathematical line, length without width.\u2014 But now it is beginning to spread out its members, and its arteries and veins exhibit symptoms of real life.We already hear of its connection with all the North Western States ; and I doubt not, at no distant day, it will find its way through some sublime and picturesque ravine in the Rocky Mountains, and have its terminus on the Pacific, and will be the great highway over this continent to China and Japan.There are some here who will see this, so do not smile at it as mere prophecy.You in this city are closely connected with all this greatness and the wealth and prosperity that may be expected to arise from it.Youi merchants will be princes and your traffickers the honourable ones of the Earth ; but let us hone that you will be as great in spiritual as in temporal things.That unrivalled emporium of antiquity, Tyre, was doomed to judgment, notwithstanding all its wealth and commerce; and so will the inhabitants of every city who neglect to fear God and to cultivate those principles of religion and virtue, which constitute the only firm basis of lasting renown.Having seconded the resolution, the rev, gentleman sat down amid applause.The Chairman put the resolution which was adopted unanimously.Mr.Patton proposed that the following gentlemen be appointed a Committee to collect subscriptions from the friends of the Church in Montreal :\u2014 James Mitchell, William Edmonstone, James Goudie, James Hunter, Thos.Watson, Mungo Ramsay, Robert Esdaile, Wm.Spiers, A.W.Ogilvy, Alexander Morris, Hugh Allan, Dr.Cowan, Thomas Paton, James McDougall, Evan McLennan, John Kingan, John Fraser, David Mair, James Law, Archibald Ferguson, Donald Ross, Wm.Stephens, Wm.Darling, J.M.Ross, Wm.Christie, Wm.Croil, Robert Weir, John Dodds, Robert Muir, John Smith [Alexander Street], Robert McIntyre, Charles Esplin, James Johnston, and W.H.Greenshields, with power to add to their number._ Mr.Greensheilds, in seconding the resolution hoped the committee would meet with a liberal response from the people of Montreal.He said that there were three ways pointed out for raising this money.First by giving a certain sum at once.Second to pay certain sums, spread over a period of 3, 4 or 5 years.Third by friends paying an annual donation as long as they felt so inclined.He would remark that as merchants here it was their interest to see the back settlements improving, as they would do, under this scheme, and it would also be gratifying to find the inhabitants honest, Godfearing, church-going people.[Applause.] The Chairman put the resolution, which was carried unanimously.Mr.Alex.Morris rose aud said he had great pleasure in moving a vote of thanks to the gentlemen who had come from both parts of the Province to advocate a scheme, which he, as well as every other intelligent man, regarded \u201clca'j:lI*a')le importance to the National Church, with which they were all connected.(Hear, hear.) The motion having been seconded, The Chairman said that this motion, he knew, was carried already.He would just re- ( mark, however, that by the liberality of the clergy, in giving up what had already been stated, the church had been enabled to give about £50 a year to 30 ministers teceived since the commutation.They were not able to do more, and every minister now received must be cast upon the congregations alone.The resolution was here adopted.Rev.Mr.Baines here stated that a few weeks ago a man from Knoxville, a long way from Port Hope, called upon him for a subscription under the following circumstances :\u2014-He stated that the community in which he resided had raised about £150, and had erected a comfortable little church, but they yet needed £60, for which they had given promissory notes.They were able to give about £60 or £70 to a minister, but in the meantime they wanted their debts paid.He\u2014 the speaker\u2014gave him his subscription, and tbe man left to procure more.The benediction having been pronounced by the Rev.Dr.Mathieson, the meeting separated.law intelligence.Reported for the Montreal Herald.COURT OF APPEALS.November 30, 1859.[continued.] Bank osf B.N.A., Appellants, vs.[Cuvillier et al Respondents, Aylwin, J.Dissentient.\u2014 This was an action brought by the Appellants to recover a sum of upwards of £4000 with interest, advanced by them in the discounting of certain negotiable paper, which had been dishonored ; but for the payment of which they claimed to have the guarantee of the Defendants.^ The Defendants below and Respondents in this Court, were the widow of the late A.Cuvillier and her daughters.At the time of the death of the late Hon.A.Cuvillier, he was carrying on business in part- neiabip with sons Maurice aud Austin, and it appeared, though it was not so clearly proved as was desirable, that afterwards Austin Cuvillier, jr., carried on business at Montreal, under the firm of A.Cuvillier & Co._____ However that might be, at the time of the father\u2019s death, one of his sons, Austin Cuvillier, jr., was absent from Montreal ; but Maurice Cuvillier being on the spot, together with his mother and three sisters, all representing the estate of the late Austin Cuvillier, applied to the Bank of B.N.A.and the Bank of Montreal for pecuniary assistance to wind up the business ; and an instrument was executed before Notaries, in which it was said in substance that \u201c the late Austin Cuvillier and his \u201c son Austin Cuvillier, and the said Maurice \u201c Cuvillier, carried on trade until the 11th day \u201c of the present month of July ; that the said Maurice Cuvillier hath, since the death of » the said late Austin Cuvillier, carried ou \u201c and proposes to carry on, trade ; that to en-able him to do so, and to meet tbe engage-\u201cments of the late firm of Cuvillier & Sons, he * rean
