Dsan Sir, \u2014=The postage of this Dominion is going to be changed, I believe.Why not reduce the rate of postage with the change of stamps ?Take, for example, our own mother country, England.One penny takes a letter to any part of the three kingdoms.Take the United Stutes a8 another example.They send a letter anywhere in the United States for three cents in! paper currency ; but, in Caoads, you bave te, pay not only five cents in silver, but one cent extra, and they will not even take sterling money without paying a cent extra.Why cannot Caonda have a cheap postage like others?RésiDENT.|] INSULENCE.(To the Editor of the Witness) Sin, \u2014Ua toe 10th inat., I had occasion to viait Montreal to draw some money out of the Savings-Bank, near the poet-office, and the cabman who drove me there used the grossest insultiog language, because I would not give bim oae dullar for driving me there from the station, \u2014 a work of five winutes.Is there no law whereby people from the country could avail themselves, without being forced to pay what cabmen may impose upou thew, or be insulted; or, if they bave to make w complaint, remain in Montreal a week, upoa expense, for the result?I beard it said that à lucky fow of the cabmen were only permitted to come upon the stand at tbe station, aud fleece the travelling public.Please give this space in your paper.la hope that some gentleman may cause an investigation to be bad, sod & law made to protect females who are forced to visit the city, 1 aw, Mr.Editor, A Constant Rrapes.Dunham, 12tb Juty, 1867, [The above, from a lady, shows the bad character of some of our cabmen (we liope not many); but the only remedy we can suggest to | any one so abused is to take the number of the ! cab, and lay a complaint at the police-oflice, | where justice will doubtless be done next day.\u2014E».Wir] THE BEER AGAIN.| (To the Editor of the Witness.) I wish to ask of you \u2018for advice and recommendation.À member of one of the Evauge- lical Churches of this city, going to his work one moraiuy, wus accosted by » member of another Evangelical Church, who, with his wife, | are strong temperance people.He told the fur- | mer that his-wif: bad been confined three weeks ago, and that the doctor\u2014also & member of a church and a professor of a coilege\u2014ordered his wife to take so much beer per day, to suengihien and increase her milk.As be bad | some copscientious scruples respecting its use, be was desirous of knowing Lis opinion.May | I not ask whether you can recommend substi- | tute for the beer which sume doctors are very prone to order to be taken in such cases?Aud do you not think it à very great wrong | of doctors, members of churches?And may 1 say temperance men, too, are #0 much behind the age in finding a substitute of a nutritious quality, to be used for such occasions, instead of paiviog the conscience of Christian temperance people by ordering them to take beer ?W.A.8.\" Kingaton, July 6, 1867, {Ontmeal porridge and cream, in addition to other wholesome aod palatable food, with good exercise and air, is n prescription wbich beats MONTREAL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 21, 1867, favor thereof.Wednesday evening, the 10th purpose, was ddly organized.1 attende 8 meeting of the Band of Hops in the afternoon, and am happy Lo report itin à prosperous condition, lt numbers about ffty- tive members.Collection, $1.08 ; subseriptions, 1.50, 3 On Tuesday, July 4, held 8 meeting at Dan.ville.The attendant: was very small; but J am bappy to report that at the close | obiiued the names of fifteen persons to the pledge and coustitution, aud organized a Branch Society.Toe foliowing office-bearers were duiy elic.ed, riz.:\u2014 .Rev.A.J.Parker, President; H.Gilman, HE.Cramer, Vice-Presidents; J, P.Stvekwell, Sec.-Trea.Uoratuittee\u2014J, Mackie, G.W.Leet, À.McUullum, Joseph Busbel), aud J.S.Guod- hue, .The next méeting of the Dinville Branch will be held vu Tuesday, the Lüth inst.Culicetion, $3.97.Ua Wednesday, July 10, beld a meeting at Kingeey Falie.\u201cAttendance very poor, indeed.I wet with some opposition bere ; but succeeded in ootwining the names of nine persons to the pledge aad constitution, and orgavized tue Kingsey Palls Branch of the M, T.8.The following persons were duly elected to office, viz.:\u2014Joseph Haddock, President; Wil- liaa Towns, Sec.-Treas.Tl+ remainder of the officers will be elected at the next meeting of the branch.On Thursday, Ju'y 11th, beld a meeting at Inverness.The nigut was stormy, and the attendance small.I could not organize a brasch society here.They bave a Division of Sons of Temperance in efficient working order.I am happy to state that in (bis place tbe Lankin Act ie carried out successfully, and has proved to be of great service to the cause of temperance in this place.The friends bere Lave been able, under the law, to obtain seven convictions during the past year, and in every case the fines bave been paid.[ wish the friends of the cause in every section where this law was adopted were as energetic in baving it carried ont as they bave been in Inverness.The results would be of great u-1rantage to the cause of temperance generally.Collection at public meeting, $1.40; subscriptions, $1.75.Could not hold a meeting at Upper Ireland.This being the 12th of July, many would be away from home, therefore vo arrangements were made.to full my appointment there in ibe evening, In conclusion, allow me, in tbe name of the Society, to relurn my warmeat thauks to tbe friends of temperance in every place that I huve visited, for their un.form kindness and hospitality extended to me on all occasions.! can only say that it is beyond all praise.| feel to | thank God for bis sustaiuing grace In enabliug we to prosecute my labors.Ub! may they be | crowned with complete success, and tbe glory i3¢.To-morrow I leave for Kinacar's Mills: included within the city limita.There are a few tine buildings built of brown freestone within \u2018 the city, embraciog stores, and situate on the \u2018 principal business streets; but the great majority, probably.ning-tentbs, of the buildings | are of wood.\u2018 The city most certainly wants a good hotel, ; and, for an enterprising and competent mag, there is really a good opening.Ua my trip up, after considerable trouble, I obtained à room in what is called the best; but, on my return, if it I bad not been for the kindness of a fiiend whom I chanced to meet, [ ebould possibly have had to make application for & night's lodging at the police station.The system of water-works in St.John is excellent ; and, with Lhe use of steam fire-engines, the facilities for extinguishing fires are 50 great that rales of insurance ure very low.! The water is brought into the city from a stream, | which is some seven or eight miles distant, Having thus given a suort and general de- dcriptive outline of the priocipal city, I will now proceed to west of the ! COMMEHCK AND MANUFACTUKES OF NEW BAUNG- WICK, as this main idea in writing this correspondence, aud one which [ bope may prove profite- ole as well ns interesting do a large number of tae renders of the Witness.To consider what commodities, manufactures, and products would be most likely to prove pro- | litabie, a9 an interchange between tlie Western und Eastern sections of the Dominion will be an object; and to intermingle this with a descrip.tn of the factories engaged iu their production will be interesting.For this purpose, ! bave : made « personal iuspsciion of the principal ones.| 1 bare to thank Mr.Swit, Comptroller uf Custom {and Navigation Laws, for valuable statistical l'information, and aleo Mr.Geo.Stewart, auc.\u2018 Voneer and commiasion-merchant.The latter gentleman bag, from a long residence in Western Canadas, a thorough knowledge of western trade, which would be useful to shippers, Considering the size of the city of Bt, John, the want of water-power and the limited market | in the province iteeïf, St.John is quite à manu- | facturing place; aod, for tbe information of | Western Cavadians, I bave collected statistics j from the proprietors which manufacturers and dealers will find useful, There are in the city five TARNERIES, carried on by W.Pelurs, Cbas.Peters, D.Caldwell, J.Mclurley, and S.Hersey ; combined, they employ about 70 bands; 2,000 cords bark i are appually consumed; independent of calfskin, about 20,000 hides are tanned, about half i of which are foreign.There are also several { more tanneries in other paris of the province.The present prices for lentber are thus: =8ols, 1 $3.00 to $1.75; Grained do, S: 50 to $400; Rips do.$1 80 to $2.25; Calf, per Ib.Toc.to What factories are in the province cannot ; per Bb, 25c.to 26c ; Waxed Upper, per side, * Neglect of the eudering clu:ses i hume, c.to 52c.; gray cottons, lle.to 14c.,\u2014\u2014with « discount off to the trade.There are now no otber mills oftbis kiod in the Province, altbongh there is another one about starting.Canadian tweeds (they are still called by that name) bare à very fair chance in this aod in the Nova Scotian markets.Those parcels wbich bave come down here are considered by merchants to have no equal for price and quality combined.{ saw several lots in different houses in the trade, and was informed that it was likely that considerable quantities would be brought over for the fall trade.The duties chargeable on woollen manufactures in New Bruoswick and Nova Scotin have been 134 and 10 per cent.respectively, and, as there is nuw free trade, this, it will plainly be seen, will be of great advantage to Montreal merchants and Ontario manufacturers.The rate of duty in Newfoundland is LE per cent., and in Prince: Edward Istand in 10 per cent.The former is a good market.| was informed by a 8t.John mercbaat that he would purchase heavy cloths shortly in Montres!, coTTON.The mills of William Parks & Son, for the manufacture of cotton-web and yarn, are quite extensive.They are situated in\" Portland, one of the St.Jolin suburbs.The proprietors bave recently made some large extensions, in Anticie | pation vf approsching coufederation, azd intend to compete fur the Montreal trade.They will Dow save the 15 per cent.duty in Canada nod | 10 per cent.in Nova Scotia, whick will open a larger field.These mille are the only ones of the kind in the esstern provinces, and are supplied with the best Manchester machinery, They contain at present about 3,000 spindles, and about 50 hands are employed.Next week, when all the looms in the new addition will be in operation, the wills will be capable of making 1,000 yards per day, besides 2,000 1bs.of yarn.There is in the premises a folding and register- ing-muchine of very ingenious construction, which [ bave not seen in any Western mill.The prices are :\u2014Gray cottons, 9 to 13 ceots; yarn, all colors, ; white yarn, 35 cents, with large discount off to the trade.I will continue the series in my next, which I shall be able to devote almost entirely to trade.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2026_ _ \u2026 SABBATH AFTERNOON RELIGIOUS TEX.PERANCE MEETING.The portion of scripture read was the 9th chapter of Jubn, concerning the miracle of the man born bliod being restored to sight, Oue speaker said it was the duty of all to do what good they could in the world, opportunities fur which were never wanting.Msoy persons Were apt to bestow ibcir sympatoy and influence on far distant lands, frequently to the Buy while It might be very weli to Lave u sympathy for humanity, which was world-wide, be thought our fret duly was to lose at our own doors, ball be ascribed to Him, to whom alone it is due.SVpply the demand; and when it is considered ' In whatever situation Gud bad placed us, we Taoxas Herciixas, Agent MT.8.Inverness.July 12, 1867, NUTES BY THE WAY.(From our own Correspondent.)

At the date of my last letter | way at Bromp- ton Falls.Un Saturday, the 6th inst, I proceeded to Windsor, but conld not hold à meet- log in tbe evening on sccount of the storm that prevailed.1 appointed meeting for Sabbath afteruoon, which was well attended, aud I have the great pleasure to report that adeep interest is felt bere in the cause of Temperance.[yg the month of February last, a Temperance and Literary Society wes organized, and is now doing well; they hold their meetings once a week, and & large number of the young people Bave become members of the Society.On the 8th inat., I beld a meeting et Trenholm.ville, à fair audience being in attendance.At the close of the Deetiog, 1 found that the friends ere were in favor of haviog a Branch of our Bociety established, eightesa persons being ta , however, to the barbor is the great rise nod fall of the ude, It is well known that the waters of the Bay of Fundy ebb and flow 10 & much greater extent than any other part of the world.At St.Jobo, the difference between ordinary high and low water is about twenty-two feet ; and at the upper end of the Lay of Fundy the tide bas been knows 10 rise over sixty feet, and it is ordinaniy not much under bis.This is, of course, an impediment to navigation; and such ports as that of Windsor, connected by railway with Halifax, sod situate in the upper part of the bay, are left dr; for the greater part of the day.Although this is not the case with the port of St.Jobo, yet the tide rushes out and in with such force as to render the movements of vessels extremely difficult, and accidents sometimes occur.1 noliced &n American ship lying bigh aud dry on the rocks at the mouth of the harbor, having been wrecked from this cause.As the action of the tide occurs about forty minutes Inter every day than the preceding one, It will be seen that considerable caution must be exercised.There is a noteworthy fact with regard to the falls of the St Jobn at the city.When tbe tide is out, these are from 18 to 20 feet bigb ; bnt when jt comes in, there is usually a fall the other way, or upriver, conge- quently thers is but one time during the day when vessels may sail out of the river into the harbor, The suspension bridge across the river near this point is a very fine structure, ar, soux proper is surrounded by reveral large suburbe, = Onrieton, Portland, Lower Cove, and Indian- that sole was imported last year to the smount of B1,708 Iha,, valued at $37,884, of which 72,-' 749 came from the United States, and that under a duty of 4 cents per Ib, and 3 per cent, \u2014lben .we may fairly say, if we in the West bave any | to spare, bere is a market, and this would equally apply to Nova Scotia protected by à duty of 10 ! per cent.BSherp Skins were imported to the amount of { + $2,258, under a duty of 60 cents per doz, and 3 ! per cent.; and Calf Skins, $9,427, under a duty | of $1 20 per doz.and 3 per cent.ROOTS AND BHORS, There are in the city of St.John fcur large | boot end ehoe fectorirs,\u2014bdelonging to Mestre.| Hall, Vapley & Bro, MeCart, and Francis & Sons, | \u2014employing about 34.) hands and 90 sewing machines.These factories bave been established but a few years, and seem to be, conjointly with the high tariff (18 per cant ), closing ont foreign competition.The imports in 1865 of boots and shoes were but $27,060, not an eighth of what they were six scars before.The work does not seem to be of as good a clans as some Montreal rms turn out; yet I think they could not force & market, notwithstanding the assertion of a Moatreal traveller that he bad taken large orders.TACKS AND BRADS.One of the most interesting factories in the city is the tack factory of Stephen Foster, where is made every description of tacks, Lrads, \"shoe avd Buirhing nails.He has quite à num- bar of very ingenious machines, driven by a \"tea horse-power engioe.He finds « market in | alt the Lower Provinces, aud even in the Wen , Indies.SEWING MACHINE ! To one interested in machinery, the factory of the North American Sewing: hine Co., of 8t.John, would be well worth visiting.manufacture two sises of the \u201c Weed\" Machine, | and sell priocipally in the West Indian, South © American, and Europeen markets.They em- | ploy fully 70 bands, and turn out beautiful and perfect work, The building is four stories high, sud is Blled with very ingenious machinery.Some of our manufacturers in Montreal might take a bint from this, as I believe they confine tbemoelres entirely to Provincial demand.In 1865, there were 375 cases of machines exported to the United Kingdom; and in 1868, 683 cases.The business ie carried on by an American Company, induced to start bere on account of the bigh price of Inbor In the United States.They occupy the building erected for the sugar refinery, but which was removed to Halifsx.Of this Latter (not yetin operation) I shall hereafter speak.\u2018WOOLLENS.The Halifax Mills, belonging to tbe St.John Menufacturing Company, are good mille; bat not equal [n size or apointments to many of the Ontario Mille.They are situated à few miles from St.Jobn.They manufacture only the plainest class of tweeds, and also cotton and flannel ; but fad considerable difficulty in obtain ing the raw material, Their prices are ns follow: all-wool goode, bomespun, 506, to 85¢.; tweeds might be sure thar in that place there was work for us to do.Everyone was bis brother's keeper, in the genre thui wo ne could stand sioue, but that ail were dependent upon each otler, end each one was almost etirely dependent upon society, Rev.Mr.Mouais, who lins just returned from à visit to England, said that in that couutry drunkenness was [sr more prevalent tban in this, It was a sad aud pitiable sight to see the desecration of the Sabbath by vice.At the close uf religious services, the peuple would Hoek iu large numbers to the numerous gin- | psleces ; and be bud seen ns many as 150 sland ing around the door of one, waiting till it should be opened, when they would rush in and crowd cach ober in their engerness to ubisin drink.But in the lole of Querneey, wbich be bad also visited, the scene wus far different.Though tLe price of intuzicatiog drivks was le.s than one-balf the pricu in England, be bad not seen one drunken man on tbe whole island, One might travel the whole length of a street of ove of the towas, and see at must not more tban ope sign showing that intoxicating drink was sold there.The cause of this state of things was the very stringent Inw ugaiast liquorssell.ing and drinking, which was equalied in no luther country.[fs wan who was the head of a family became intoxicated, bis wife bad a right to complain of Lim ; and be was immediately arrested and sent to à House of Correction for a time.He was glad to be able to say, for jthe honor of Montreal, that 1beçe was far less | drinking here thab in most of the towns of Eng- and.Aoother clergyman dwelt at some length on the lesson taught in the scripture that had been read ; and at one point in the meeting, Mr.Craig tang the beautiful and touching song, \u201c Father, come bome.\u201d The meeting was closed with & benediction, when opportunity was given to sigb the pledge.ST.FRANCIS DISTRICT TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.The semi-annnal Convention of tbls Association was held at Fast Hatley, Province of Quebec, on Friday, July 5th.The attendance was good, especially at the afternoon and even- lag sessions, when à large number were present, chiely lady teachers of Common Schools from Hatley and Stanstead.The Association affords to those who have been for some time engaged in the work of teaching, an excellent opportunity to impart instruction to those just entering the profession, and who need advice and encouragement.The meeting was & very plessant, and, it is loped, very profitable one.The morning session was opened by prayer by Rev.Mr.Lee, of Stanstead Academy.Extracts from tbe minutes of the annual meeting, which was held in Compton in December last, were real by the Becretary.The President, Privcipal Graham, then appointed the following Committees :\u2014On Business, Dr.Gilbert, Dr.Burland, and J.B, Lebaron, Biq.; aud on reception of members, Rev.Mr.Lee, Mr.Robert Robinson, of Costicook Academy, and Mr, Gale, The Secretary, Prof.A.Duff, of St.Francis No.50.town ; all, with tha exception of the last, are ! 88e.to $1; satiners, 650.to T0c.; funnels, !

the duty of the former to keep the pby- sical system of the child in a healthful and vigorous state; aod the means of imparting re.ligivus instruction in our schools, which are, of course, eutirely undenowinativnal.A vote of thauke to Miss Bacon was passed unani- wouely, The l'resident called attention to the renewed.offer of prises by J, II.Pope, E:q, for the best essays on \u201cRuligious lusiruciivn io Common Schools.\u201d Beveral names were added to the roll at this point in the meeting.| Rev.Nr.Leeand the Pres dent then add, i the Association on ssed \u2018 the question last proposed, urging that prin often need explanation, yet the work of holur shouïd rever be done for bim.The amount ot assistance necensary varies in different cases.À jarge part of a class would be thorouguly discoursged by beiug thrown entirely on themselves, though a few mht becows excellent men under auch & me- hod.The increase of interest in the Association was next brought forward for discussion.Tbe President thought 1bat it would be well if there were Teachers [ostitutes among us, regular gatherings of teachers for instruction by some une thoroughly experienced in the work vf education.Mr, Lee desired that it were well | known that teachera are not required to make up in extra work lime spent st Association meetings.It was thought hy some that it would Le well to lieve more definite arrangement than bitherto for the work of tiie Conventions.Persons might be appointed several months beforehand ty prepare esnge to be read before the Association.It was requested that the eut ject, \" Goverg- ment in Schools,\u201d be discussed.\u201d The President pointe out the importance of thorough order, + wlso hie benelits of noticing the gond Jhings in a scholar's bebarior, and the care to be taken in aduinistering bodily j-unishment, The need of proper apparatus was urged by Mr.Robinson, of Contieuok, He fonnd great difficulty in givivg instruction in geo; raphy without good maps.He aisn expressed a wish tbat our gchool-rooms were more attinctive.It was suggested by another that the introduction of singing among school exereisea would great- Iy tend to interest tbe echotars.The association then adj ured till 7 pm.The evening session was opened by prayer, by the President.Dr.Gilbert briefly addressed the Association on the duty of parents to train their children to proper babits, and to sustain the teacher in bis work, The President then made reply to a question which bad been seal up to the desk during the afternoon session.He bad been arked to give the reason for the rule for division of fractions.He explained at considerable length this sub- Ject and the method of presentiag plaisly to à class several other aritbmetical questions, After some discussion, it wag resolved to hold the next meeting of the Association at Stan- stead Plain;

and love are ebbing away.; We have been led into this train of remark | by the cireumstance, LOwW too broadly exLibited 10 admit of question, that tbe missionary zeal | of tbe Cbristian churches in this country bas of | late given signs of declension snd decay.What | may be called specially the missionary epoch in the history of the church in modern times, has now lasted nearly a hundred years.In the earlier part of this century, missions to the heathen were still a new thing.They thought that the light must spread fast; they looked for the! speedy conversion of the bes ; and the conversion of the heathen would, they believed, be the first dawning of that millennial glory in which all churches would rejoice.These ex-| pectations, it cannot be denied, have, to à great extent, been disappointed.Many Christians | now ask, with sometbiug like the petulance of | the sceptic, What bas been done?They reflact upon the vast expenditure of money which has taken place ;

nodenial ofa single one of tke twenty-nine distinct charges brought agaiust him.The process of whitewashing consists simply in showing that other gentlemen, and those eren belonging to the liberal bY party, are guilty of the same crime, although by no means to the same cxtent.The nsmes of Messrs.C.Dessaulles, R.Roy, L.Doutre, and B.Derlio, are produced as having also appro- printed public moness by drawing false accounts of expenses incurred as reporting-officers.Vue will fail to ses that several blacks put together make a white, Le Pays tever asserted that the minister in question was the only \u201cpublic thief\u201d in the country.That there may be others of this stamp does not invalidate the fact that the appointment of such a one as Minister of the Crown is not creditable to the Cabinet.Aad when it is seen that the principal French organ of the new ministry considers such * theft\u201d as peccadilloes of not the alightest importance, and which, therefore, our public men ia office might now repeat wih impunity and without loss of character,\u2014the country will not be prepared tobestow upon the Government that full confidence which perfect honesty and alife of integrity command.This painful impression is only beigutened from the fact, that, as the Minerve states, the clergy teke the same lenieat view of such cases of public dishonesty, \u2014the Rev.Messrs.G.Pou.lin and V.Plinguet beicg ready to vouch for tbe character of tbeaccused minister, and bering taken him uoder their special protection.In the meaatime, the discriminating wisdom of Mr.Chauvesu in finding out the weakest members of bis ministry, and saving them from tbe risk of 8 public election, is truly admirable.The Messrs.Archambault and De Boucherville are appointed Legislative Councillors, They are placed both in the Legislature and in the Oa- binet by the sole power of one map, and without itabeing necessary to submit the doubtful choice to the opinion of the people.AN HONEST POLITICIAN RETIRED.Among sll the representatives of Lower Canada in the Legislature of the United Provinces, there was no one more thoroughly relis- bie for honesty asd independence than Mr.Somerville of Huntingdon.Ia several test votes, where principle was put to the severest strain, whatever others did, bis voice could always be depended upon in the interests of equal justice toall.We used to look upon him as almost the only man who could be depended upon to rise above the interests of party and the logrolling of the hour, and to vote in accordance with the dictates of conscience and tbe immutable principles of justice ; aa, for instance, in the question of representation according tu po- i Ti pulation.We, therefore, regret exceedingly to see that be Las retired from the field in his own county, and biope, for the public good and for the credit of Lower Canada, tbat be will be invited to stand for some otber constituency.The merchants of Montreal Centre, for instance, who |G seem to find no suitable candidate for the Local Legislature, could not probabiy do better than invite him to represent them.This would ben public testimonial to bis integrity on many 8 trying occasion, aud they might look far before they will find one equally reliable on the great point of seeing justice done in the Local Legislature to the Protestants of the Province of Quebec.There would also be a peculiar ap- propristesess in inviting Mr.Somerville into Sir.Rose's former coggtituency, seeing that he retires to make way À that gentleman in Huo- tingdon.This is a time that requires ried men.ny THE SITUATION IN THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC.By a singular political retribution, ir.Cau- chon, in cutting off the hesd of tbe Lower Canada School bill last year, cut off his own bead as Premier of the Province.Apart from this, we know not why Me, O.should have been selected, for, though be is an able man and bas done good service at various times, he has like- th wise been mixed up with some very questionable transactions when in power before.Mr.Chan- veau, who has been cslied upon in bis stead to form à Government, bas à much better record, and is, upon the wlhiole, a very able and respee- tablemen.In fact, we know not where a more suitable man-\u2014all tbinge considered-\u2014for the position could have been selected ; and we trust he cor will get along well.Mr.Obauveau's position, ye! as head of the Education Department, has been a very delicate one ; having, on one side the Protestants, complaiaing loudly and frequently that be did not do enough for them, while, on the Lil other, much more powerful, though not so loud, fri ecclesiastical complaints were made that he did too much.or The Oburch of Rome will never be coa-|of tent till it gets all education (at ail events, of Catholics) into ita own bands ; and a State-con- trolied normal scbool aud lay-appointed teach ors are whoily distasteful to it, however much influence it may exarcise over tbe appointments sad appolutess.This clerical inBueuce would, that as Lis leader chooses.insipuate that the other, Mr.Irvine, 18 & mag of this description, being quite unacquainted with bis political record; but we do mean to \"uy that we do not thik anything very bad will be permitted so long as Nr.Dunkin is in the Cabinet.THE POST-OFFICE DEPARTMENT AND Juv 24, 1867, of course, if successful, annihilate Mr.Chauveau who isa layman, as Buperintendentof Education; position which Le owes solely to the mixed character of our population.It isnot, therefor, remarkable that he should bave quietly resis to à certain extent, ecclesiastical dictation and protected lay teachers.As we have bad occasion 10 show from time to lime, we do not think that Me.Chauveau dd all that he ought for Protestants; but Perkaps e did wbat be could.He ought not, however, to bave aliowed himself to be imposed upon (we fear with his eyes open), to grant & share of the money set apart for higher education to many R.C.colleges, ke, that were merely nomi.ually such, but reaily catcbpennies, We bope, however, that Mr.Ohauveau desires to net fairly, and, if so, he has the ability, and the weight of character and inflience, to make à good Prime Minister, It ls very gratifying, also, to see that when tbe French Canadiens could wholly ignore the Protestant element in the Local Cabinet, being in no way dependent on it for a majority, they yet have the good feeling and fuirness to place two Protestants on their list, and one of them à man of exjerience and influence, who will be 0 mere nose-of-wax to be pulled this way or We do not mean to THE ELEOTRIC TELEGRAPH.There is no direction in which the usefulness of the post-cffice department can be more legitimately extended thau in the construction upon the best principle of a geueral system of tele- graphie communication.Ia fact, the similarity, not to say identity, of the two services, points them out as necessarily allied.It used to be a legal offence tq send a letter by any other conveyance than the maii-bags; but what shall we say of the electric telegraph, which deprives tho post-office of a large proportion of the correspondence of the country.Of course, nothing must be done to impede the telegraph, which should rather be extended; but the profits of this department should go to the post-office, whieh it impoverishes.Had Government constructed telegraphic lives at fret, this would naturally have been the case, and a telegraph.office in each considerable post-office throughout the country weuld bave been as much a matter of course as à letter-box ; but governments are naturally disinclined to attempt new and untried plans, and hence private companies were chartered to make the venture, To- these companies tbe public owe much, and they should be richly rewarded when suc: cess crowns their enterprise ; for they would have lost all in case of failure.tion 1s, to what extent that reward should go?The only ques- \u2018hat they have already been rewarded beyond their roost sanguine hopes is, we believe, unde- aiable ; and perbaps (though their original outlay bas already, ir ove way and another, been returned to them manifold) they are entitled to furtber remuneration.But, whether they are or not, the time Las, we think, come for tte overnment to incorporate the telegraph with the post-office, as soon as the change can be equitably effected.Then we may bare à uniform system of telegraphy through the whole of the New Dominion, reaching to every conaider- able place, with a very low scale of charger, and yet quite sufficient to sustain the establishment, and even leave a good profit, THE ANNIHILATION OF THE ROUGE PARTY BY TBEIR CLERGY IMMINENT.The French-Canadian Liberals are making s painful discovery, which they have long been unwilling to own, but which 18 now brought every day before them, in such a manner as to allow tbem no longer room for any doubt, The Catbolic clergy are decidedly against them, and now make no secret of their political aversion to the Liberal or so-called French Democratic party.The fact wie hitherto more or less understood, that the sympathies of the clergy, with few exceptions, had all along been with Nr.Cartier and the Conservative party.Yet is eympathy was a latent one ; the ministers of religion were supposed to be identified with no political party ; snd, from their frequent declarations, it was gathered that it was à matter of principle with them to be neutral in politics, unless upon matters affecting directly the interoats of their church, Under this prevailing impression, & man uld be a good and devout Ostholic, and t cast his vote in bebalf of a Liberal candidate, who would afterwards take his teat on the same aide of the House with Upper Canada Protestant Reformers.Tbe beral French members of the House and their lende responded to this political abstention of the clergy by professing on every occasion their thodoxy and devotedness to the religion thelr fathers.They not only reodered avery bonor 10 the priests, but they were alwaye ready and willing to vote their bills, whether it was for incorporating new convents, granting Ostbolic school privileges, building roads to Dew parishes, or improving the property of Trappist monks. Jury 24.1867.THE MONTREAL WITNESS.460 \u201cNow, this tacit agreement stems broken on the part of the clergy, the fond dream of the French Liberals is passing away, and as they begin to canvass tbe country, in view of the approaching elections, they find the priests everywhere more or less openly arrayed against them.Their astonishment is great, their disap- tment intense, and their indignation impotent.They protest that the active opposition of the clergy is & breach of faith, inasmuch as bey bad bound themselves by a decision of à council, beld at Quebec, not to intertere in political matters or take sides at the elections.Several priests have been attacked on their individual characters for this alleged treapass on pledged rights, and held up as refractory, disobedient to à rule established by the Ohurch, and certain to be reprimanded by their Bishops.This bas been especially the case recently with Mr.Lafiamboise, who bas complained publicly, st the meetings and through the press, of tbe course pursued by the Rev.Mr.Ricard, priest of Acton Vale, in direct opposition, as was alleged, 10 tho rules established by the fathers of the second Quebec Council.The rev.gentleman, being pressed hard, lias come out under bis own name in ihe Courrier de St.Hyacinthe, and published, in self-defence, sn official document obtained from the Secretary of the Bishop of Three Rivers, and which rudely takes away from the Liberals all the comfort the Council of Quebec had thus far atforded them.1t soems that what the fathers of Quebec gave publicly with ooe hand, they took privately away with the otber.The decrees of the Coun- til have been followed by an official interpreta- ton of the decrees, which was signed by all the Sisbops und of which the following is an extract :\u2014 \u201cCap.V.Ox Pouitics\u2014lat.The clergy must, in their public and private life, remain neutral in questions which bave nothing ehat- ever to do with religious principles.#2pd.They must, however, instruct the people as to their duties in the practice of their civil, political, and religious rigbts, for all must know that when it is a question of choosing re presentatives to Parliament, or mayors, or municipal counciliors, or schoo!-commissioners, etc., they are bound to pronounce in behalf of those who in good faith are deemed competent for defending and upholding these same rights.\u201d \u201c1, the undersigned, certify that this explanation is 8 copy faithfully and virtually extracted from the circular letier of the Fathers of the 2nd Provincial Council of Quebec to the clergy #0xious (0 show that they were good Catholics, polished off the sbarp edge of their principles.The Rouge press was tamed dows, and lost its vigor.When tbe whole party thought they had saved their orthodoxy, then the priests could afford out.The party is now doowed to die out, unless they retura to their former platform, accept fearlessly the challenge of the clergy, raise the banner of independence, und stand up une compromisingly and uvflinchingly fut their principles.THE TRIAL OF SURBATT.Wasaxoron, July 18 Jobn G.Resves\u2014I reside in Muatreal, aod am s tailor, | know the prisoner; made & Gari- bald: for bim io 1865; tbe Garibaldi is a garment, plaited back and front, and has plain wristoands ; buttons close 10 the threat; Sure ratt is tue man.After the purchase, | saw Sur- att at my store; before April 20, 1865; be- measure on the.8th or 9th of April; he afterward came and said his coat was too tight; 1 saw Surratt at Father Lapierre's, where I got acquainted with bim ; I then iuvited im to my house, and he staid two duys; when Surract left my house, I went with bun about 13 miles to Long Point; five or six days afier I sold bum the clothes, he came to my house, and when be went away with me, Mr.Mitileres went wub us; [ saw Surratt at my door a day or two before be went to Europe; the two days Surratt was at my house it was not possible for bim to have been absent 10 or 12 hours.8.B.Nagle\u2014Reside at Montreal adroca [know Ste.Marie; !

do not knuw tbut any charges were made against me in Montreal; never was public prosecutor ia Montreal.Louis W.Siçotte\u2014I reside in Montreal; am au advocate : am now employed in the Crowa Law Department ; [ know Ste, Marie, know bis reputation for truth to be very bad ; { would not believe him on bis oath.I said Ste.Marie was a coward to betray bis friend; that it was mean and unprivcipled in him, L.Labelle \u2014[ live in Montreal ; have been City , and am so of the Province, as it is preserved in the Ar- hives of the Bisboprics, : À.Deurros, Prieat, Three Rivers, July 3, 1867, Secretary.\u201d This means that the priests are not only authorized but instructed to meddle with politics as much a» and whenever it seems best to their bishops.The order to abstain from politics refers on'y to questions which bave no connexion whatever with religion.But there are really no uch questions, in & Jeauitical sense ; everything that bears on politics, bears also more or less directly on religion.Bad political principles are egainst religion.Whenever two political parties are in conflict, there is always one whose success will suit the interests of Rome mors than another, and who will bid bigber for the support of the priests.That party is the good ope whose representa tives understand best \u201cthe religious rights of the people,\u201d and the clergy is bound to assist their return, After many years of vain delusion, permitted by tbe clergy, the French Liberals find suddenly that the political ueu- tality proclaimed by tbe Council of Quebec was nothing but a trap for the unwary, a mask (or the clergy, which at the convenient \u2018ime is thrown of.Confederation has come aoû suite the bierarchy.The French Liberals, a & political party, opposed it.And now the bishops issue their pastoral letters, enjoining upon their flocks to return to Parliament only men who in the beginning were favorable to tbe new scheme.This excludes all the members formerly in opposition, They are not even allowed to be received as converts : they must Lave been the frieüds of the scheme from its origin, The blow aims at notbing less than the utwer annihilation of tbe French Libersl party.And yet the bishops, with the utmost meek- Gets, profess not to meddie with politics! But why bas the present juncture been chosen for striking this heavy blow at Liberal.sm?For the simple reason tbat you must treat with deference an enemy who is strong, but tbat you may with impunity crush bio when he bes grown weak, Ten years since the Freoch Liberals were strong.They were a power which the clergy dread- od.But they bave gradusily become weak, ircesoluts, have lost thelr enthusiasm and compromised their principles.There was « time when the Rouges had political principles and stuck bravely to them.The clergy dirliked them, but were afraid of them ; for they wero s power amongst the people.They bad convictions which they defended even against the priests.For this they were applauded, and received popular support, L'Avenir, long defunct, was then sn uncompromising Rouge paper, not deterred by the opposition of the clergy, but willing to Aight its ground against them; and it was cxtensively read by the people.\u2014 But the confession box and the all-prevailing dollar were against the Rouges ; and, afters while, they flinched.Bome accepted lucrative situs.tions, which sllenced their lips ; sod others, very Councitlor tor four years; I knew Ste.Marie; | be was employed in the Education Office ; 1 knew | the friends he associated with ; in tbe begioning he was not a bad man, but bis character became [known the longer be remained ; [ cannot believe bin on oath.Cross-examined\u2014I bave talked about that matter; | have said that Ste.Marie was a low man to have done such a thing for & remuneration ; | don't care for the man; I do not think it was wroug for him to tell what he did ; but that it was a low thing to do it for money.I have beard many eay that it was pot possible to believe that man on bisoath; [ remember the fact, but it is dificult afier Gve years to remember he names of those who said so.Cross examined \u2014Witness is a fermer;

What other picture-book has such color, such infinite novelty of design, such suggestiveness as the farmer's picture-book on the andirons?There were flames shooting up like spires of churches in the colors of sunset.On the front log was a mimic bunting-scene.Along the surface ran a faint line of biue g issuing at little intervals from cracks: aoû this seemed like rabbits or foxes.Then from the end of the log à lime likes hound it leaped over aud caught the gas, and raced across the whole front and disappeared, a- if around a corner.Barton's uneasy thoughts were well nigh as fitful and fiery as the flames before him.He glanced at bis mother.She was excited too.Hereye was bright, a color was on her cheek, ber hand wa: more ner vously quick.Rachel came, at length, him.- Barton, your words seem to me like an opening door.On one side is the home, and parity and security; on the other, the great and wide world, full ofall manner of life and danger.You have always seemed to me us one that would remain bere.But already your thoughts have gone ; and by and by you will follow.1am willing.Yet the day you leave us will be a duy of pangs more than when you were born,\u201d ¢¢ Mother, I will not go if you wish me to stay.[can give it up.\u201d \u2018When God stirs in us deep thoughts for things that are right, they are prophecies, and we must heed them.Should I keep you back end hide you from God's decree, could 1 prevail?ir we follow duty willingly, we are treated kindly : but if we resist, Duty bunts us down and drags us to answer to our con science.\u2019 Then both weresilent.Barton was looking at the coals uuder the fore-log.There was one spot that seemed making signs 10 him.The dull yellow red of the coal suddenly glowed with white light ns if à stream of air bad fanned it, then sunk back to ite ruddy hue ; it lenced out white and radiant again, and lost fe low once more, as if it kept sympathy with Barton's thoughts, that rose and sunk by turns.\u201cOh, my son, 1 know not why God has shaded life to my eyes.His will be done!

UNDER THE BAN.(Continxed.) LETTER FROM THE GENERAL OF THE JESUITS, Julio's lawsuit had created a great interest through the whole of Europe.He bad felt certain of succeeding with public opinion, even though the law should fail in proving the robbery.The real truth was that he was the victor, and his book had won him the vic- ry.Still, with judgment in their favor, tte Je.suite rejoiced greatly astheyinveigbed against the accursed priest who had dared to bias.pheme their boly order in one of the most eminent cities of the South, and through the whole of France.A very severe letter arrived from Rome, The General of the Jesuits wrote to the Pro- vinciel to ray that he was'at loss to understand how it was that @ priest who bad dared to pen that infamous work agains the eminent servants of God and the chair of St.Pater was still officiating ina French diocese ; that the instigator of the original prosecution, as well as author of 8 publication, contemptible in itself, but calculated, nevertheless, to do some mischief, should not be openly von.demned by ecclesiastical authority, This step was absolutely required to show that that authority had uo sympathy with bis disgraceful proceedings, but, on the contrary, had, in compliance with the Church's requirements, chastised him and proscribed bis works, He also charged the Provincial to offer the archbishop the assurance of his deepest respect, od told him that he was influence to move the Sacred Con the Index to condemn the Abbé ous publication, Fortified with this document and the judgment just given, the Provincial proceeded ob: palace, Admitted to an interview with mon.re; 'ulio's libel- i] assure you, Iam al with this wretched priest, I put it in lis ower (0 resist my commands, 1 required im,\u2014formally required him,\u2014reverend fa ther, to abandon the appeal.But he is so abominably self willed.\u2019 But at present, monseigneur\u2014\"' \u201c You see, reverend father, I paused before roceeding to extremes, Had I punished hitn Before the recent judgment was pronounced, there would have been plenty of persous ready to uttribute it to your influence.\u201d \u2018Very possibly, monseigneur ; Lat at present 7\"!

when I have taken this affair more to heart than your sacred company itself.It is I who am involved here, when one of my priests ventares to attack you.Yet the requirements of cau- tion\u2014 The Provincial seeing the archbishop was trying 10 get out of the scrape, and that he wasdetermined not to proceed to extremities with Julio, judged it high time to avail him- sell of the heavy artillery which he had kept in reserve.He bacded him the generale letter.Its all but threatening tone made the archbishop feel extremely uncomfortable.He would not, for the whole world, offend the general, who, at that moment, after the recon- cilistion that had been effected between Pius IX, and the Jesuits, might prove such a help to him in the matter of de bat.On the other hand, lie felt himself lowered.The Jesuit spoke as Pope, and appeared to menace the most illustrious digailary as though he were an inferior, \u201cWrite to the most reverend general, father, and tell him that ample justice will be done in the matter.Weighty considerations, porhape scarcely existing at Rome, require us to very much on our guard in desling with our clergy.We know tbe fluctuations of power, and in any etruggle that may chance to arise we are obliged to be.careful how we act.But rest assured that ! will give you evident proof of tbe indignation which I feel at the conduct of this wretched riest.And he brought the interview to an end b a thousand sweet upeeches to the Provincial, all tending to show how deeply he was devoted to the venerable society.That very evening ibe following letter, in his own handwriting, was posted to Julio : \u201cT=, Zh September, 1880, \u201cMy YERY DEAR Vican,\u2014I want © personal interview with you on a matter of the greatest importance, ' Apart from my affection or all my clergy, the exceptional position in which I feel hound to place you commands my special interest.So pray come and see we, and excuse the journey, the trouble of which I greatly regret causing you.\u201c1 sball expect you as soon as possible, ¢ Your affectionate and devoted ¢* P1eaRE FRraxgo1s LE CRicq, Archbishop of T\u2014-.\u201c M, l'Abbé Julio de ia Cluvière, Vicar of St Aventin.\u201d Julio was completely in the dark about that feaiful scene in which Loubère, & priest who had extracted an oath from the archbishop ta leave bis persecuted victim in peace, and had afterwards committed suicide.Hence the friendly, even loving tone of this leiter puzzled him greatly, What could have come 0 his highness, and where were his threats ?The next day he set out for T\u2014.\u201cI am exceedingly sorry, dear abbé, to | bave burried you here; but could not satisfactorily communicate with you in the present instance by writing, 1 felt I must see you.And now let us set out by your thoroughly understanding me.Come, speak out,\u2014did you ever imagine that I was very partial to you 7 \u201c1 can't say I ever did, monseigneur.\u201d \u201cAb!

but this peculi- «arity canuot be im) roved by natural selection until 8 coasiderable number of hares begin to burrow, of which as yet there has been no likelihood of their doing.In other words, udmittiog that natural selecti on may improve ; organs already useful to great numbers oi a species, we have no right to conclude that it ! can create or develop new organs, und so ori- | ginate species, development of a species.methods of computation show that the world of the Darwinian transmutation.In illustration of this, the doctrine of con.\u2018servation of force is turned to account ina _uovel and ingenious maoner.As the total change in amount, but a change of distribution ; so there is & continuul dissipation of energy by which the available power to produce chaoge in any finite quantity of matter dimi- uishes at every change of the distribution of energy.Every change in the distribution of energy depends on a difference between bodies, and any change teuds On the whole to diminish this difference, and so render the total future possible change less in amount.No sooner Joes energy take the form of beat, for example, then it israpidly dissipated; that is, it is distributed among & large number of bodies which assume a nearly equal tempera: wre, sod is thus practically lost The equivalent of energy 1s there, but it can produce po change until some fresh body, ata very different temperature, is presented to it.But the sun's rays take the form of heat, whether they raise water or vegetation, or do any other work, in this form the energy ia the earth, radiated into distant space.The material universe thus tends to change snd death, and even the rate at which the planetary system is thus dying is perfectly mensurable, if not perfectly measured.An estimate of the total loss ofheat from the sun is un estimate of the rate at which he is approaching the condition of surround: no mote.Admitting that the suo may be su pulied with heat and fuel by absorbing certain planetary bodies, still the supply is limited, and the sun will become too cold for Darwin's urposes before many millions of years,\u2014a ong time, to be sure, but far enough from countless ages.Not any more conceivable are past countless ages ; fnaomuch as the beat required by the sun to bave allowed him to cool trom time immemorial, would be such extend over the whole plavetary system, sud evaporate us entirely.Still otber considers tions are brought forwarl to show that the age of the inbubited world is limited to a period wholly inconsistent with Darwin's view, The sum of the arguments may be stated 8s follows: Experimer.t has shown & shar limit to the variation of every species.Natural selection is powerless to perpetuate new or- gaus even should they appear.Countless ages of a babitable globe are proved impossible | tion of Infinite power in à finite mage, Hence the writer concludes that the theory of Dar win is only an ingeaious aud plausible speculation, to which future physiologiots will look back with the kind of admiration we bestow on the atoms of Lucretius, or the crystal | spheres of Eudoxus, containing like these some faint truths, marking at once the ig- | sorauce of the age and the ability of the philosopher.false by accumulative proof.DROWNED.used in the British navy, for restoring the ap- patently drowned, unt period of the year when many seek the water, we may be duing a benetit in giving these di- rectious a place in our columns: \u2014 I .Send immediately for medical assistance, blankets, and dry clothing;
