The following extract is from a letter received from a young gentleman in Montreal, and may not be uninteresting to our readers: \u2014 In your last letter you ask for some account of how nights, days, months, and years are passed by young Canada, with reference more particularly to their habits of study and self-improvement.My experience is limited to the youth of Montreal, but I believe I can give you a pretty correct idea of their tastes and habits as a class; and, for an idea of how it is in other cities, you may blot out a few of the better features of the young men of Montreal, and exaggerate their looser characteristic, and I think the same account, with these alterations, will fit for the whole of North America.One of the things that caught my attention most when I came to Canada, and got into company with à few young men of good standing in society, and considered in every way very respectable, was their non-reading habits.The young men with any disposition for reading, or, at least, with any reading habits, are so very few, that it may be safely stated that the normal condition of young men in Canada is non-reading.To you this will seem much stranger than it does to me now.When I came here first, a great part of my conversation and attention had always been directed to subjects connected with books and literature, This I found of no use, as not one in a hundred of those I was in the habit of meeting cared to talk to me on such subjects; and, since the time I landed till now, the process of assimilation has been gradually but steadily going on, and it is now but rarely that I think of books, and, I am sorry to say, it is but few that I read.A question will very naturally suggest itself to your mind\u2014If they don\u2019t read, what do they do?How can they spend their spare time without becoming the victims of ennut or something worse ?This opens up the whole question of the manners and customs of the people, which might be made very easily to fill a volume, which, however, I have neither the ability, the leisure, nor the disposition to write ; so I shall give you a few glimpses, merely leaving you to imagine the rest.The habits of the people are much more sociable \u2014as it is flatteringly called\u2014than in Scotland.Instead of private lodgings, all the young men congregate in boarding-houses.Householders have a mania for giving parties, which involve little expense, and serve to make the person giving the shines a chap of some importance in his own eyes, and also in the eyes of a great many others.If a young man is tolerably good looking, and can make himself at all agreeable, or of any use at a party, he need have no difficulty in being asked out every night, or at least, five nights out of the six.Some young men do this, and live in a continual round of gaiety, perfectly unfitting them for reading, or any other mental exercise.Some, again, prefer to go to billiard saloons, the theatre, or any of those more public resorts where they feel more at théir ease, oth as regards their appearance and their conversation, \u2018These, from their gregarious habits in associatin only with others like themselves, become coarse an sensual in their pleasures and gratifications, and can find no attractions in the refined pleasures of an intellectual feast.It thus happens that a large class of young men here, from going too little into the society of ladies, become coarse 4nd brutish; and another class, from going continually .into society, unfit themselves for such exercises or pursuits of a personal and private character as require quiet and composure.~~ .! \\ Trént in the church bf that'early age 7 55517 Instead of books, such subjects as women, dogs, horses, prize-fighting, &c., are discussed and commented upon, and the result ofsuch conversations, at a table of from ten to thirty young men, you can easily imagine.There is always some black sheep in such a flock, who takes the lead in giving conversation certain turns, and the rest soon follow.There is a wide difference between Edinburgh and Montreal young men, not in favor of the latter.[If the above be a correct picture of the life \u2018and conversation of a class of young men in Montreal, as we fear it is, there is another class who are active în self- improvement and in doing good in Young Men\u2019s Christian Associations, Sabbath Schools and kindred efforts.Reader, which class is living most worthily?Whichis most likely to succeed in life ?Which has the best prospect for that future which is to have no end ?\u2014En.Wir.] IMPORTATION oF FRENCH CLERKS IN Russia.\u2014 The Journal du Havre says :\u2014A.number of clerks belonging to the great administrations of Paris, selected from among the most capable, are daily leaving for St.Petersburg, to be employed by the Russian Government in organizing, in the different ministeries and their dependencies, a system of keeping accounts similar to that practiced in France, which is regarded throughout Europe as unequalled for simplicity and accuracy.It may here be remarked that this system of keeping the public accounts was introduced under the first empire, during the ministry of M.Modin.This minister, having heard of the extraordinary capacity of a clerk named Arrivez, in tke office of the receiver of taxes at Auch (Gers), sent for him to Paris, and asked him to draw up a statement of his system.He did so, and his system, being approved by the ministerand the Emperor, was immediately adopted.Since then numerous improvements have been made in the Arrivez method, but it is still the basis of the system which is now in operation from one end of the empire to the other.M.Arrivez remained at the head of an important department,in the ministry of finance till his death, which took place some years since.[Could our Canadian Government and Grand Trunk Company not import a few French Clerks too?We have no doubt the gain would be very great ; for all public administrations, such as Railways, Custom-Houses, &c., are conducted very much better in France and Belgium than any where else we have seen\u2014Ep.Wir.] Tue Frencu Boory IN CHiNa.\u2014The following appears in the Journal du Havre :\u2014With regard to the booty made in China, inestimable conquests in an artis- tical point of view are spoken of.The part acquired by France would alone suffice for the formation of an immense Chinese museum.Among other things mentioned is a clock of wonderful workmanship, with carved figures representing the seasons ; all the wardrobe of the Empress of China, &c.There has also fallen to the lot of the French an edition of Confucius, which belonged to the celebrated Emperor Kahg Di, the Napoleon I.of the Chinese, and having notes in his handwriting.Among the other objects found in the summer palace, and which are in the part reserved for France, is an elephant of natural size, in gilt and enamelled bronze, and most magnificent.[The French got first into the palace, and appropriated everything worth having before the English came, with whom they, however, professed to share and share alike like brothers.Had the English army refused any share of the plunder, the moral power of Britainin the East would have been more increased than by a hundred victories.As it is, they have all the disgrace of robbery with very little of the booty.We suspect this is the last time that British and French armies.will fight in partnership.\u2014Ep, Wir.] Prentiss oN THE Position.\u2014 Harper's Weekly publishes portraits of all the seceding South Carolina members of Congress.They are not as well executed as they ought to be.\u2014 Louisville Journal.We hope our good friend Mississippi won't let.Great Britain hear that she is out of the Union.Britain might make her pay those repudiated bonds.Mississippi having seceded, we advise her to adopt the pelican flag, for ornithologists describe that bird as having a large,

and Stealings.\u201d\u2019\u2014JIb.\u2014 The American Bible Society has eleven colpor- -teurs native Italians, engaged in Italy, and is said: to be doing more in that interesting field at the present time, than any other Bible Society in the World.It acts through the Swiss Italian Committee, of which the celebrated Colonel Tronchin and Dr.Merle D'Aubigne are members.The Bibles are printed in Northern Italy, and have the double advantage of the Italian imprint and circulation through natives of the country.= \u2014 A recent letter froth Constantinople alludes very briefly to what may prove an important moveztiéft.\u20144 Quite recently, it is said, 40,000 Armenians have roposed to form an Armeni-Episcopal Church.ropping all the errors and superstitions which have crept into the

electors of the West Ward will be waited upon forthwith for their signatures to a requisition to Mr.Corse to present himself for re-election.\u2014 In consequence of the snow-storm of Tuesday night and yesterday, the railway trains have all been delayed.No mail from the South yesterday; and the Western mail due on Tuesday evening came in late last night.The G.T.cars for Portland, which left Montreal on Tuesday, arrived atSt.Hilaire next morning, and got to Richmond in 18 hours.\u2014 The Charitable Committee of the Irish Protestant Benevolent Society, earnestly solicit aid from the Irish Protestants of Montreal, to enable them to afford relief to the poor having claims on them, during the remainder of the winter.The society are now giving assistance in money and fuel to upwards of 90 individuals, at a cost of over $50 per week.The funds are entirely exhausted, except a small sum invested at different times as a reserve in case of a serious emergency, and a portion of this has already been realised.Contributions will be thankfully received by Mr.Richard Holland, Notre Dame Street, Mr.John McClellan, Wellington Bridge, or any member of the Committee.\u2014 The Herald this morning has a \u2018 Jenkins\u201d-ian account of the \u2018\u2018 Active Force\u201d Ball of Tuesday last, in which the writer speaks, evidently con amore, of the potables, sparkling Champagne, nutty Sherry, and bitter Bass,\u2014 concluding by saying that the whole affair will long remain green in the memory, &c.\u2014 The Advertiser of this morning says :\u2014* Previous to Wednesday 25 men were employed in clearing away the ice by blasting and otherwise from the Tail Race, close to the Pumping House, but in consequence of the difficulty of fishing up the blocks of ice on being dislodged, the work had to be abandoned, as it was found no material progress in clearing the channel could be made while they floated under masses of snow and ice farther down.There is at present, however, sufficient pumping force to keep up the city supply of water.\u201d \u2014 The Pilot of yesterday very properly calls the attention of the City Surveyor and Chief of Police to the danger to pedestrians in the streets, from ice and snow thrown from the roofs of houses.Another point in that connection is, the manifest impropriety of allowing boys to go out upon house-tops to shovel snow.On Saturday last, we understand, a juvenile so occupied fell from the roof of a dwelling, striking upon a fence, and was very seriously injured.-\u2014 The ceremonial services on the occasion of the \u201ctranslation of the bodies of the deceased Sisters of the \u2018Hotel-Dieu of Montreal,\u201d are in progress to-day.The Herald says :\u2014* During the past two days the coffins, twenty-three in number, in which the remains were placed, have b2en exposed in the chapel of the Ilotel- Dieu, on St.Paul Street.The chapel was draped with black, and the coffins, also black, were piled up in a pyramidal form in the centre.Wax tapers were burn- The place was left open, and was vigited by numbers of the relatives of the deceased, who offered up prayers kneeling on the floor of the chapel.\u201d This morning a great crowd, principally females, was collected round the building, and the procession, in which the Mayor took part, moved off, preceded by hearses containing the coffins.\u2014 There were further investigations and depositions wade yesterday at the Police Court in reference to the body-snatching case, which will be made public by- and-by.\u2014 There were 8 prisoners before the Recorder yesterday, 3 for drunkenness.Gilbert Harrison, a tavern- keeper, was fined $10 or two months\u2019 imprisonment for beating his wife.\u2014 The young man, Cazineau, who died in consequence of the \u2018injury veceived last week at the works of Messrs.Bartley and Gilbert, was buried yesterday with military honors.The funeral cortege included a .large number of the Montreal Field Battery, of which the deceased was a member.The firing party was .from the Foot Company of Artillery.\u2014 The Prololype says a daring robbery took place in London about 8 o'clock on Friday evening.As Mr.Clovin, dry goods merchant, was entering the gate leading to his house, on North Street, after leaving the gtore, having with him his cash box, containing about .$100, ho was seized by two persons, one of whom par-| tially choked him, while he other secured the box.Both ran off and escaped.\u201d \u2014 The Michigan Legislature have a bill under consideration designed to enable the Grand Truok Railway to ferry their cars across the river at Port Huron, and run through to Detroit both passengers and freight without changing.- This would.make Detroit the western terminus of the Grand Trunk.\u2014 The Reformatory institutions in Britain have had a bappy effect in diminishing juvenile crime.In the United States also, similar institutions have been the means of rescuing hundreds from a life of crime.How long is Canada to remain in the back-ground?There are scores of boys and girls about the streets of our towns and cities who should be placed in institutions where their moral and religious welfare would be looked after.PETITION IN Lonpon.\u2014The London Star, of January 11tb, publishes a memorial \u201c To His Grace the Duke of Newcastle, Secretary of State for the Colonies,\u201d referring to the decision of the Canadian Judges, and requesting him to take * the promptest measures for securing the personal safety of Anderson, and for obiain- ing a reference of his case to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, in order that the point which he has raised may be discussed by the highest legal tribunal of the realm, whose decision, it may be confidently anticipated, will be in accordance with those strict principles of humanity and light, which are the foundation of the British constitution, of the personal rights of every individual dwelling under its protection.\u201d The Star says the petition was being extensively signed, and adds :(\u2014 - \u201cWe would venture to suggest whetber a similar step might not be taken by the various Chambers of Commerce throughout the country., \u201c We understand that the committee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society have taken the requisite steps to obtain by a writ of habeas corpus, the transference of the case to the Court of Queen's Bench in England.The proceeding is a very unusual one, but there exists a precedent for it, in the case of the \u201cQueen vs.Lees,\u201d which was decided in favor of the defendent.Up to that period it was the almost unanimous opinion of the English bar that a writ of habeus corpus could not be issued to a colony.\u201d The Press and the paople of Britain appear to be unanimous in taking the same view of this question that has been taken by the several public meetings held in Canada; and the excitement there even exceeds the excitement here.Great Britain seems determined that the honor of the empire shall not be sacrificed by a Canadian Magistrate, a Canadian Attorney-General, and two Canadian Judges.ApverTisiNG,\u2014This is a matter of the first importance to many besides the conductors of the advertising medium ; therefore, we consider it a proper subject to present before business men.A contemporary says :\u2014 There are but few people who understand the law of advertising.The few who do understand it invariably succeed and amass fortunes.There is not a solitary exception to this rule.Advertising to be successful as a means of business, should not be spasmodic or intermittent, but continuous.Persevered in, it always yields reward.There is no such word as fail to the persistent advertiser.And he who expects results from a single advertisement which has had but two or three insertions, and is then withdrawn, is no mgqre reasonable than a man would be to expect favorable results from taking his shutters down three days in a month, and keeping the shutters closed the remainder of the time ; or than the man who shrouds his sign of business, except on particular days and at long intervals of time.One of the most successful business men of England, who has risen from a small retail trade to extensive business connections ; who has become a man of large wealth ; the proprietor of a large domain, and whose experiments and success in agricultural improvements and in developing the capacity of the soil under intelligent culture, has made his name known throughout the United Kingdom, and extensively known in the United States\u2014 Alderman Mechi, of Loadon\u2014has written the following sensible words on the virtues and advantages of advertising : \u2014 \u201c Allow me to say a few words ou the subject of advertising, because 1 think there is a false delicacy among some people on this matter.In my opinion advertising is a legitimate means of making known the wants and wishes of both buyers and sellers, whether they be for an estate worth half a million of money, or for a pair of \u2018 Mechi\u2019s best razors\u201d It is merely making an extension of your shop front in the newspapers whether the article be seen there or in the window ; in both cases its qualities remain to be tested.It never can answer to advertise a bad article.By advertising a good one, you enlarge your connection, which might be limited by the number and class of people who happened to pass your door, and their connections.For my own part, my spirit likes a wide range; and I remember once receiving an order through the Hudson's Bay Company, from poor Mr.Simpson, in his Polar Expedition, whilst almost at the same time I was supplying a missionary from the Sandwich Islands.\u201d We would add to the above that not only should the name of an advertiser be kept constantly and fuvorably before the public, but that the matter of advertisements should be always new, as old standing ones are not likely to be often re-read.Rouse Books IN PROTESTANT ScHooLs.\u2014There have been frequent complaints of School Inspectors giving Romish books to children in Protestant schools.Roman Catholic publishers sometimes publish books by Protestant authors, with a preface bx a Roman Catholic writer.The following is an extract from the preface of a book given to a boy attending the Protestant Dis- sentient School at St.Eustache by the School Inspector :\u2014 \u201c May the dew of Mary's holy prayer have robed them in unfading verdure and holiness; may they, thus sanctified, thus hallowed, have nourished you in holy love and tender charity, and bave you to that land where you may fondly gaze, adore and love him.\u201d \" The above extract is mere sentiment, without sense or good grammar.; .PERSHOUTION IN SPAIN.\u2014Dr.Tregelles, who has just returned from travelling in Spain, writes the following respecting the Spanish persecutions :\u2014 \u201cThe manner in which the press in this country has noticed the imprisonment of Albama and Matamoros, and the fact of the deputation to Lord John Russell on the subject, have had considerable moral effect in Spain.It is right that this should be known, and also that in Spain it is felt, both by the Protestants and by théir opposers, that there is in this country a full feel- ing of sympathy with those who are enduring much because of the \u2018convicting which they have formed as based on the Word of God.Matamoros, from whom we heard a few days ago, left Barcelona on the 26th ult., on his way to Granada to be tried.The destitute mother of Matamoros and the wife and little children of Alhama are cast on us, as it were, not only for sympathy, but also for aid.\u201d This js the way Popery treats the readers of God's Word wherever she has the power.We hope the day is not distant when the Bible will be as openly sold in Spain as it is in Florence and Naples.BrAokwoon's MAGAZINE for January.\u2014\u201c The Political Year,\u201d\u2014a review of 1860.\u2018 The Purist Prayer- Book.\u201d ft is laughable, if it were not pitiable, to see an article on a religious subject by one who has not the first glimmering idea of what religion really is, but who thinks he knows all about it.*Uncivilized Man.\u201d An article showing the cruelty, heartlessness, misery and abominations of savage life, wherever it is examined; and consequently upsetting the plausible theories of infidel writers respecting the excellence and happiness of natipas living without the Gospel.*\u201cEnglish Embassies to China.\u201d An interesting and well- timed article.¢ Horror, a True Tale.\u201d \u201c Norman Sinclair,\u2019\u2014part xi.\u201cA Merry Christmas.\u201d ¢ The Indian Civil Service: its Rise and Fall.\u201d A subject on which Blackwood has always been very well informed.\u2014 Messrs.Fullarton & Co., of Edinburgh, are issuing the posthumous works of the Rev.Dr.Wardlaw, edited by bis son, the Rev.J.S.Wardlaw.RELIGIOUS ITEMS.\u2014 An anonymous benefactor has presented the Bishop of Salisbury with a donation sufficiently large to purchase a commodious house in Salisbury, to be converted into a theological college for training candidates for the ministry.\u2014 The American Tract Society, Boston, has commenced the New Year with encouraging prospects.The Tract Journal, an excellent periodical, bas a large circulation.The \u201c Child at Home,\u201d a beautifully illustrated paper for the young, has proved a success.We hope both these publications will be largely circulated in Canada.\u2014 The missionaries sent by the London Missionary Society into the country discovered by Dr.Livingstone, in the interior of Africa, have been sorely tried.The fever has been more violent than usual, prostrating nearly the whole of the missionaries.Mr.and \u2018Mrs.Helmore sank under it.These Christian laborers have been in Africa for about 21 years.Mr.Moffat writes that the Makololo were a good deal soured at the nonappearance of Dr.Livingstone and the natives who accompanied him to the coast.The Doctor's arrival at Linyanti, it is hoped, will remove all causes of discontent.\u2014 A person writing in the American Presbyterian on length in prayer, speaks of a New England deacon, who, at a one-bour prayer-meeting would take up 15 minutes with the opening bymn and reading of Scriptures, and he would then be sure to occupy the remaining forty-five minutes in prayer.There is a little more brevity in such meetings in this city, though we have known of several instances of late where the leader of a prayer-meeting of one hour has occupied just one- half of it with the opening exercises.As a consequence, other individuals who took part in the meeting were lengthy in their remarks or prayers, In a prayer- meeting occupying one hour, at least 10 or 12 individuals should take part in the exercises.\u2014 It is believed that there are in New York city nearly bhalf-a-million of non-church-going persons.There are church buildings enough, but many of these are not half-filled ; so that to reach the perishing masses, something must be done beyond providing church accommodation.An Evangelical Alliance has been formed in New York to meet the spiritual destitution which exists there.The Committee say: \u201c We intend to do this by the preaching of the Gospel to the neglected masses, with the use of such other means as Providence shall direct.To do this by the aid of such clergymen and laymen as can be secured, and whose talents are adapted to this special class.Every member of the Alliance also will be expected to labor in some way in this great work.\u201d \u2014 The last number of the American Presbyterian gives some account from Dr.Jenkins\u2019 sermon on * Seven years\u2019 labor and its fruits,\u201d in Calvary Church, Phila- delpbia.The facts will be interesting to many of our readers to whom Dr.Jenkins is so well known.The membership numbers 360, of which 152 were added on profession.The missionary history of ibe Church has been remarkable and eucouraging.Five years ago a few of the members commenced a mission in a very much neglected quarter of the city.A Sabbath School Was commenced in a house.This prospered.A missionary was employed, a chapel built, and an Industrial School established ; and, as a result, Olivet Charch was formed, with an efficient Sunday-school supporting a missionary in the West, and an active church organization, comprehending two hundred and fifty members, one hundred and seventy-five of whom have been received on profession.In 1857 a similar work was commenced in another part of the city, which has resulted in the formation of Tabor Church, with 132 members received on profession of faith, and the establishment of a Sabbath School, with 325 scholars.\u2014 Calvary Church bas contributed, during the seven years, for denominational and catholic efforts, about $150,000.The work accomplished by this Church is one which every Christian Church should aim at affecting in its neighborhood.* MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.Tae Coureee QuesTioN.\u2014 Whatever doubt there may be a3 to the character of the college at Cobourg and University College, there can be little doubt as to tbe character of the movement now agitated with respect to the Provincial University.The organization of the Methodist body has been made the means of a propaganda of opinion against the Toronto institution, and the memorial of the Wesleyan Oonference is \u2018in itself a church document.Nor should it be disguised that the motives which have given rise to the movement are gelfish in their nature.There is no stigma intended in applying this word\u2014indeed we have a sufficient respect for the selfish philosophy to be aware that it is an important incentive to, progress and reform.It is self- interest which actuates most individuals in private as well as public undertakings, and the Methodist body bave been undoubtedly influenced in their conduct of thig agitation by a sense that important interests deeply affecting themselves were at stake.The trustees of Queen's College, together with the Synod of the Presbyterian Ohurch vf Canada, in connection with the Church of Scotland, bave imitated the Wesleyans in bringing their influence to bear upon the question, for the same reason that their interests are affected in the matter.\u2014 Kingston News.EXTRAORDINARY Conpuor.\u2014In the report of the proceedings at the Grand Trunk Railway Meeting in Lou- don, we came upon the following words, attributed to Mr.Jobn Hillyard Cameron :\u2014' Standing as I do inan entirely independent position ix the Legislature, I am quite ready to do all in my power so far as the resources of the country will go, and as we can do with due regard to the public creditor, to assist the Company.\u201d Conceiving that the reporter had mis-understood Mr.Cameron, and had inferred that he spoke of his position in the Legislature, not between contending parties in the country, from his illusions to his former votes against that Company in Parliament, and his somewhat magnificent promises of what he would do now, we took the liberty of altering the phrase so as not to make Mr.Cameron play the part of ap impostor.But we find that another report sent to the Toronto Globe, coming, as we have reason to believe, from an entirely independent source, attributes the same assertion to him, and we are compelled to ask ourselves with some amazement, if he really did palm himself off on the meeting as a member of the Canadian Parliament.\u2014Mon- treal Gazette.Tne ExtraDITION Case.\u2014The Toronto Leader of Tuesday says : \u201c There is some prospect that this case will settle itself.Anderson is demanded as an alleged violator of Missouri law ; and if Missouri should leave the Union, as is possible, would not the treaty of extradition, so far as the seceding states are concerned, be annulled?The moment the independence of the Southern confederation, having Missouri for one of its members, was acknowledged, that moment the treaty would fall to the ground ; and there would be an end of the case.We fancy it would be a relief to the Courts and all concerned, if the case were thus to dispose of itself.\u201d Tae Nexr Spssion.\u2014The Governor General will be back a week before February ends.The Hon.John Ross will return with him.Most of the other ministers are now in town, busy making up their reports and so finishing up last year\u2019s business as to have it in a fit state for Parliament to scrutinize.All these circumstances justify us in expressing a belief that the next session will commence in about a month from this date.\u2014 Quebec Chronicle.PusLic LAND SALES.\u2014The Canada Gazette announces tbat public lands in the following places will be offered for sale on the days undermentioned

used for cutting the Grand Trunk wood, when the saw suddenly broke and a piece of it was driven quite through his heart, killing him instantly.Lanpy HESTER SPANHOPE.\u2014Among the mountains of Lebanon lies buried the body of Lady Hester Stanhope, the celebrated niece of William Pitt.She who shone in the salons of that great man retired in disgust to this lovely spot ; and created around her a paradise of floral beauty, in which every rarity and luxury was to be found.She had thirty seven servants around her, who attended and watched her every motion, ready to start at the glance of her eagle eye.Dut death come to her thus surrounded ; and all these servants loaded themselves with whatever plunder they could lay their bands upon, and disappeared.When the British Consul beard of her death, and visited her abode, not a soul was there to attend the dead beauty; and everything was plundered ; but the rings on her fingers were not touched, as if even in death they stood so much in awe of her, that they would not venture to touch her.She was buried in a lonely grave.Sir John Moore was her first and only love ; and there was somewhat of a similarity in their two burials.You have only to recollect the words,\u2014 + Not s drum was heard, nor a funeral note, As his corse to the ramparts we hurried.\u201d \u2014 Lachlan Taylor.TINNEVELLY.\u2014It appears from a history of this ancient mission field which Rev.Dr.Caldwell has lately given to the newspapers, that it bas previously beeu the scene of some of the mightiest of the Spirit's operations in India.Dr.C.says :\u2014 \u2018\u2018 In 1820, Rhenius, one of the ablest, most clear-sigbted and most zealous missionaries India has ever seen, was sent by the Church Missionary Society to carry or the mission which Hough had recently founded, and ere long his energetic labors produced abundant fruit.The new mission far outstripped the old ; and at the close of Rhenius\u2019 connexion with the Church Missionary Society, after sixteen years of labor, the number of souls rescued from heathenism by him, or by the various agencies set on foot by him, and enrolled under his pastoral care, amounted to more than ten thousand.¢ Though Rhenius was by birth and education a Lutheran, his views of church government and worship were in general those of the English Dissenters; in consequence of which, some years before his death his connexion with the Church Missionary Society ceased, and it became necessary to re-organize the mission he founded in some important particulars.Notwithstanding this, his system of working was, as a whole, greatly superior to that of the older missionaries, Swartz himself, included, and the Tinnevelly Missions are in a great measure indebted to him for the progressive element apparent in their history.He was the first missionary connected with the Church of England Missions in India, by whom caste was in any degree practically repressed, female education systemmatically promoted, or societies established amongst native Christians for religious and charitable purposes.\u2019 SACRILEGE BY A Priest.\u2014The Italian journals state that a few evenings back the discovery was made in the famous shrine of Loretto, in the Papal States, that in the course of the night a box for the reception of the offerings of the faithful had been opened by means of a false key, and the money in it, supposed to be about 1,000 crowns, abstracted.Strange to say, however, the thieves did not.take a jewel worth 80,000 erowns which is suspended from the neck of the statue; neither did they steal any other of the many articles of value in the place.The robbery turned out to have been committed by a priest attached to the chapel.\u2014 A Jamaica paper, in giving a programme of ; impending change in the Governors of the British 0 onies, assigns the Governorship of that important\u201d island to Mt.F, Hincks, at present Governor-in-Chief of the Witidward Islands.The place is

Gazelle of this morning says :\u2014* Severe frosts and continued snow storms for the last month have had a most disastrous effect upon the traffic of the Grand Trunk Railway.No such'long interruptions have occurred since the first portion of the road was opened (now twelve years.) For three weeks the Freight Trains have been brought to a stand-still which has caused an immense accumulation of freight at every station between Sar- nia and Island Pond.We are informed that a few days ago the quantity had reached fen thousand tons, consisting of Wheat, Flour, Pork, Lard, Ashes, Dressed Hogs, Butter, &c., principally for Montreal and Portland.At the early part of this week the weather was milder and Freight Trains began to move again, but they were once more interrupted by the storm of yesterday.In fact there has been for more than a month scarcely time to get the snow\u2019 of one storm cleared away ere another came down.Persons engaged in the grain trade are very much cramped by these disasters.It has been the custom of shippers at the West to draw against the parcels sent at short dates, say seven or ten days-\u2014snd undar ordinarily favorable circumstances the grain or produce could be placed in the market within the time ; bat now that is impossible and those who have been forced to bonor their short drafts find themselves wofully out of pocket, and drawn close at their bankers.\u201d \u2014 The Toronto market on Tuesday was well supplied with grain, which sold readily.Fall Wheat ranged from $1.10 to $1.18, the average was $1.15; Spring, 97c.to $1.04, and in one case $1.05, the average being $1.Flour was firm at $4.85 to $4.95 for Superfine ; Fancy nominal at $5.10 to $5.25; Extra $5.373 to $5.50; Double Extra $5.75 to $6.25, THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.Wanted.Auction Sales.103 Educational.WANTED, \u2014An Apprentice in a Retail Drug Store.For information apply at this Office.d\u2014t.f January 28.TANTED, À well AND DRUGGIS Apply at this Office.Montreal, Jan.24, 1861.Qualified ASSISTANT CHEMIST tfb.OOMS, WITH PRIVATE TABLE, for a Family = Or Two Gentlemen.Apply at this Office.Montreal, Jan, 14, 1861.1mo-d.OARDING.\u2014 A few gentlemen can be accommodated with Board and Lodging at MRS.HALL\u2019S, No.71 St.Antoine Street.Oct.8.\u2014d-t£.7 \u2014CROCKERY AT REDUCED PRICES\u201473 The Subscribers will sell their well assorted Stock of China, Glass and Earthenware, which comprises every article suitable for domestic use, at greatly Reduced Prices.Also, a nice assortment of Kerosene Lamps, very cheap; Chimnies, Wicks, &e.J.PATTON & Co., 73 Great St.James Street.1 mo.January 30.INNAN HADDIES!

The gorgeously lighted saloon made itzelf visible a long way off, and made the street at midnight clear as if it were noon-day.A ready waiter sprung to the door as the carriage stopped; but the lady had already instructed her coachman, and leaned back out of observation, The coachman requested the waiter \u201c to find out if Charles Grahame were within, and if he were, to inform him that a friend wished to speak to him on urgent business.\u201d Not having noticed the lady, the \u2018waiter of course concluded that Cameron was the friend, and accordingly informed Grahame, that \u201ca gentleman wished to speak with him.\u201d When the waiter disappeared, Cameron sprung from the box, and took leave of the lady, as he did not wish to have anything more to do with the painful affair.We may here mention, that the following morning he received a fifty-pound note, \u201cas Mrs.Seton\u2019s acknowledgment of his services, \u2019\u2014though very much to that lady\u2019s surprise the note was respectfully returned.IHad Grahame been told that a lady wished to sce him, he was still sufficiently conscious of his own state to evade a meeting, for as the lady had well surmised, he had been drinking deeply to forget the annoyance he felt, at the unexpected delay of his marriage.Wholly unconscious, therefore, that Mrs.Seton\u2019s eyes were keenly watching him, he approached with slightly unsteady steps and loud voice, talking to the waiters, to the door.The sight of the carriage partially sobered him, for he recognized it as the Benner Hall carriage, and eagerly he gleamed in; but the dazzling light was still in his eyes\u2014and the lady had leant back into the shade, and he supposed it unoccupied.The coachman then appeared, and said: \u201c My lady is dangerously ill, and wishes to see you immediately.\u201d Had he been sober, he would have known that it was very unlikely that Miss Benner should have sent for him to a saloon, but as it was, he only heard she was ill\u2014for Cameron was right.If cupidity prompted his wooing first, love had now rendered any other matter unnecessary.He would have been less than man to know Vere Benner intimately, as he had done, and not love her.\u201cIll! did yousay?Poor Vere ill, and me not with her! Dangerously ill, did you say?I\u2014 hiccup\u2014must go immediately,\u201d and yet, the thought of his state struck him ; \u201c I can\u2019t go now, TI go in an hour or two.\u201d \u201cOh! no, you must come now,\u201d urged the coachman.* She sent the carriage for you, and said I must bring you ; she'll never know you've been tasting if you only take care of yourself,\u201d he whispered.\u201c Oh! I can\u2019t go.Poor Vere! Tecan't.I must not,\u201d urged the miserable man, still allowing himself to be helped up in front\u2014the coachman by a dexterous movement evading his attempt to get inside\u2014and so they drove off; the miserable man allowing himself to be hurled away, and yet, pleading the impossibility.At length he cuieted himself by saying, \u201cI won\u2019t see her\u20141I'll just hear how she is\u201d over and over again.3 *k 5 In a darkly shaded room in Benner Hall, Mrs.Seton sat, in an easy chair by the cheerful fire, waiting the wakening of her niece; for the physicians had predicted that her consciousness would probably return about that hour; for since that sad eventful night, that witnessed Grahame\u2019s entrance to Benner Hall, intoxicated, she had been in a raging delirium.Even Mrs.Seton found time to question the propriety of the course she had adopted, as her life hung for days in the balance ; and her alternate wailings for Grahame and pleadings to take him away, would have melted a heart of stone.Though exceedingly repulsive to her sclfish worldly nature, she had taken upon herself the office of nurse, that menials might not be able to repeat aught she might reveal in ber ravings; for her family pride was very sensitive.She could not bear that the kitchen should discuss the sorrow of their mistress, but in spite of her precautions they knew just as much as she did, and many a curse was heaped on the head of the blackguard that brought such sorrow on their gentle mistress, Nor was Mrs.Seton herself spared, for her unfeeling part in the affair, At last, the pale sufferer unclosed her eyes, resting them on Mrs, Seton.That lady, weary watching, had fallen asleep.With a strange look of painful recollection, as if trying to remember something, but could not, she fixed them on her aunt, as if the sight of her would aid her.At last, ¢ Grahame,\u201d came from the pale, thin lips; and at that word, as if an overwhelming blow had been struck, cathe the recollections of that night's painful scene.A low groan, as she hid her face, awoke her aunt, who saw how matters were, and wisely forbore offering sympathy at present.\u201d And that was the last time his name crossed her lips, though it was long \u2018ere her foot was seen in its accustomed walks; and at her own ~ desire, whenever her \u2018streñgth permitted, her cousin Alice accompanied her on a tour through the continent, where she endeavoured, and finally suoceeded\u2014at least partially\u2014in forgetting the: very painful experience she had passed through.Poor Vere! I _ She had made an idol and found it clay, And 'wailed its worship.\u201d The banks were of course apprized to stop any future payments to Grahame, but the money he had already secured, was left quietly in his possession, and it sufficed to pay the debits he had already contracted.And so quietly was the affair hushed, that he ventured to apply for license to preach the Gospel, when the Board of Examination sat; but some reports had reached their ears, and it was first postponed and finally refused him.A letter of apology he sent 40 Miss Benner was returned unopened Fortune's tide was ebbing with him now.(To be continued.) THE DEATH OF BARON BUNSEN.(From the Revue Chretienne of December 15, 1860.) All adherents to the cause of full liberty of conscience must deeply mourn the loss of one of its most illustrious defenders.Not alone by this title, but by many others of equal importance to us, do we lament the death of Baron Bunsen, All those who have had the privilege of knowing him, and of receiving the warm expressions of his expansive friendship\u2014all who have seen that noble countenance, lighted up in old age with the fire of inward youth, vegret him as a personal friend before regretting him as one of the most distinguished representatives of European Protestantism.Never was any man\u2019s heart less chilled by science than that of Baron Bunsen.His extraordinary activity had embraced the highest fune- tions of diplomacy as well as the labours of a man of consummate erudition, at the same time that he never failed to throw in a word for liberty amid the conflicts of ecclesiastical and political parties.It would be impossible in a few words to trace the noble and varied career of Baron Bunsen.The services which he rendered to his country in the high posts which he filled cannot be noticed here.We may, however, be permitted to say that liberty taken in its highest sense, never bad more fervent support.This aged diplomatist bad a warmth of enthusiasm for every great cause rarely met with in our young men.Thus it was that he espoused with a generous passion the cause of Italian liberty.Having long resided in the centre of clerical despotism, and in a position which enabled him to see things from a near point of view, he longed with juvenile ardour for the resurrection of Italy.Before one even could anticipate success, at the commencement of the crisis, he \u2018wrote to us, \u201c Let us ask of God, my friend, the triumph of justice!\u201d He was under no illusion as to the difficulties of the situation, and he well knew that chains long leave their impress on the limbs that have worn them, and that there will be much to forgive in those who have not received the hardy education of freedom.The events accomplished on the other side of the Alps, and, above all, the prospects thereby opened, were a source of joy to him in his Jast days.We cannot enter into any detail regarding his immense literary labours.A few days before his death he was correcting the proofs of a new edition of his great work on Egypt.The book which he wrote with Platner on the Antiquities of Rome, is the best guide any one can have who would travel not merely over ground but over time, and retrace past ages in traversing the city of ruins.The part devoted to Christian antiquities is treated in a superior manner, and his mono- graphy on the ancient Basilicas leaves nothing more to be said on the subject.Recently he published a vast work on the idea of God in History, presenting in an extended development the general views summed up in his Æippolytus.He was pursuing with indefatigable zeal his translation of the Bible with comments, and these giganticlabours did not prevent him from stirring all Germany, a few years ago, by his eloquent book on the Signs of the Times,\u2014a book which inaugurated, with striking effect, the salutary reaction against the incorrigible and bigoted party of old Lutheranism, and which stated with a precision very uncommon on that side of the Rhine, the great principles of Church liberty.He passed through the great theological crisis of the times, and many of his ideas were affected by it, but at the bottom of his heart, and in the essence of his piety, he remained ever the same.He continued to be the man of fervent, mystic piety, who collected with such delight the most beautiful hymns of the Church of his country, and who never wearied of hearing them.His conversation, so \u2018rich, so animated, and so elevating, was completely imbued with that Christian salt, the strong savour of which cannot be.imitated.I shall never forget the last interview I had with him last year, when I saw him in Paris so full of moral youth under his crown of hodry hairs, \"Alas! we shall se¢ him, we shall hear him no more ! or rather let us acknowledge with gladness that we have lost nothing, that all we possessed in him we still possess, How doubt it, when one has read the account of his death which we have from a reliable sourde, We are happy in being authorized to record the recollee- tionofit.1 TE The Christian father in his gentle dignity, the ardent friend of the German fatherland, the devoted partizan of liberty in the whole world, especially.\u2018the Chiristian' world, the Christibn whose faith is being changed into life, each \u2018spoke God.\u201d by turns through his mouth in the midst of cruel sufferings.Baron Buiisen desired his existence to be prolonged in order to accomplish the labours he had commenced.One night he understood this not to be the will of God, and rising from his arm-chair, he exclaimed, \u201c O God, I commit my spirit into Thy hands.\u201d He then summoned all his family, and said to them, \u201c A great change has taken place in my thoughts, not with regard to my immortal soul; not with regard to Christ my only Saviour ; but with regard to my body.I feel that I am dying.\u201d After having blessed his children, and expressed his grateful affection for the faithful partner of his life in the most touching terms, saying that he had loved in her that which was eternal (* In dir liebte ich das Ewige\u201d), \u201c\u201c May God,\u201d he exclaimed, \u201cbless my friends: May my country be blessed, Italy and her liberty! May Prussia be blessed, Germany, England, the whole world ! I desire every blessing for the Prince and Princess of Prussia! Gratitude to Niebuhr.\u201d Itwas Niebuhr, as is known, who introduced Baron Bunsen into the career he so worthily fulfilled.After having thanked his servant for his care with the truest affection, he continued, with a heavenly expression on his countenance,\u2014* Notwithstanding all my weaknesses and shortcomings, I have desired, I have sought for that which is noble here below ! But my best experience is that of having known Jesus Christ.I leave this world without hating any one.No, no hatred\u2014 hatred is an accursed thing.Oh! how good it is to look upon life from this elevation.One then perceives what an obscure existence we have led upon earth.Upward! Upward! It becomes not darker, but always brighter, brighter.I am now in the kingdom of God.Till now it was only an anticipation.O my God, how beautiful are Thy tabernacles.\u201d The 29th of October, as his attention was directed to a brilliant sunset, \u2018\u201c Yes,\u201d he -said in English, \u201c that is beautiful.The love of God is in everything.\u201d ¢ May God bless you eternally,\u201d he added in French.\u201cLet us part in Jesus Christ.God is life, love\u2014love that wills; will that loves.(Wollendes Lieben, liebendes Wollen.) Christus recognoscitur victor, Christus est, est Christus victor.With him to be is to conquer: Those who live in Christ, those who live in loving Him, those are His.Those who do not live by His life do not belong to Him, by whatever name they may call themselves, and whatever confession of faith they may sign.Belonging to a Church or sectis nothing.I see clearly that we are all sinners.We have only Christ in God.We only exist in go far as we exist in God and have eternal life.We have lived in this eternal life in proportion as we have lived in God.All elseis nothing.Christ is the Son of God, and we are His children only when the spirit of love which was in Christ is in us.\u2019 There is the last utterance of that long and brilliant life.To love God in Christ is all; the rest is nothing.There is the theology of the deathbed, there is the science of the Christian's last agony ! We all need to learn to die, and these grand lessons are especially needed by those who are devoted to the absorbing pursuits of letters and science, and who are intoxicated with the most enviable of the glories of earth.They must learn to know that this glory is that vain smoke that darkens heaven, where we cannot enter, as into an academy, inhaling the incense of human praise, but by confessing, after the example of this great and noble spirit, that those only knew how to live and die who have loved the Crucified One.Nothing could be more touching than were the obsequies of Baron Bunsen.His coffin, borne by his sons, then by the students of the University of Bonn, covered with wreaths of flowers, according to German custom, was accompanied through the town by the religious notes of those national hymns he had so much loved.This faith remains as the effectual consolation of all those.who knew and loved Baron Bunsen, for they repeat what he said with so much energy, * There is a resurrection I\u201d E.DE PRESSENSE.\u2014 A Southern paper perpetrates the following:\u2014 A cave has been discovered in Alachua county, Florida, which is described as larger than the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky, and as having an ancent Latin inscription on the walls, which state that a party of Danes had visited this cave in the year 1050, and that a priest who accompanied them had left this memorial of their visit.The name of the priest was Marcus Poleus.It is also stated that these bold navigators had embarked on a voyage of exploration, and had been driven far south, also that they had visited many large islands, and finally had landed in a thickly populated country, where the people had received them Kindly, thinking them superior beings; that several of their number together with some Greek artisans and two \u2018priests, had been left there as a colony.- # ue + AN INFIDEL.\u2014After having in vain preached to a circle of ladies, he attempted to avenge himself by saying : : \u201cPardon my error, ladies, I did not imagine that in a house where wit: lives with grade, I atone should have the honor of not believing in \u201cYou are not alone, sir,\u201d sneered the mistress of the housé, \u201cmy horse, my dog, my cat, share the honor with yon ;

but the pressing cry of love to the country has moved my heart more than all worldly considerations.\u201d This letter was dated 3rd November.The next day M.Paolo Spinucci said aloud, while dropping his vote into the ballot hox of the universal suffrage : \u201cI reject the temporal power of Popes, as opposed to the spirit and letter of the Gospel, as pernicious to the interests of religion.Temporal Popery is unable to contribute to the public prosperity, and is a constant hindrance to the freedom of Italy.I vote then for Victor Emmanuel, great and noble King,\u2014 the only King worthy of Italy.\u201d This declaration, published in all the journals of the Peninsula, produced a deep sensation; for the Canon Paolo Spinucei is universally esteemed, and a number of ecclesiastics followed his example.The following affair also deserves mentioning to your readers.When King Victor Emmanuel passed through the pontifical provinces, after the battle of Castelfidardo, he visited the famous shrine of Notse- Dame de Loreite, or of Santa-Casa, which attracted formerly more than 100,000 pilgrims every year.This Santa-Casa (holy house,) is represented by the Romish tradition as the very abode of Mary and Jesus at Nazareth, which was transported by angels, in the thirteenth century, from Palestine to Italy.Absurd imposture ! The ecclesiastics of this sanctury, six in number, \u2014 two canons and four priests,\u2014received the King of Piedmont with great respect.They chanted massin his presence, and rendered him the honors due to a crowned head.This excited the anger of the Bishop of Lorette, Juan Francesco.He addressed, the 14th November, a severe letter to those six ecclesiastics: ¢¢ It is my duty,\u201d says he, \u2018to inform you that, for reasons known to you and the public as well as to myself, you have incurred excommunications which suspends you a divinis ; that is, you are forbidden to receive and administer the sacraments.This prohibition is founded upon the canonical laws, and the sovereign pontiff can alone release you from it.The two canons and the four priests, so rudely deprived of their spiritual privileges, replied to the bishop: ¢ After examining our consciences, we do not find ourselves guilty of the enormous crimes which incur such ecclesiastical censure.It is then necessary that your most Reverend Excellency should give us some explanation: if not, at the end of thirty days, we will resume the celebration of the Holy Supper.\u201d The ultramontane Press pretends that this reply is disgraceful and insolent.In any case, we see here fresh signs of the serious embarrassment and decline of Romanism in Italy.Accept &e., G.De F.\u2014 You will, perhaps, be amazed when I tell you that it is not so necessary to watch against great crimes, as against faults which may appear to us small and indifferent.\u2014 Chrysostom.CHRISTIAN TREASURY.\u201cIf any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jeuus Christ the righteous.\u201d\u20141 John ii.1.JESUS OUR ADVOCATE.\u2014Intercession is daily neces sary, and therefore Jesus daily intercedes.But an advocate, is only required on special occasions, when we are dragged into the law court, and then Jesus appears for us.He replies to and confounds Satan, the accuser of the brethren.He pleads bis own obedience and blood-shedding on our bebalf, and so secures our acquittal and freedom from condemnation.In case of any one falling into temptation, or into the snare of the devil, the ever-blessed Jesus bas undertaken to fill the office of an advocate in the court of heaven.This is for the comfort of his people, and for the confusion of Satan.My soul, rejoice in this, that thy God has provided for all contingencies.He bas made provision for thy restoration, consolation, and complete salvation.Jesus isall thoy canst need.Thy cause is in his hand, and he will carry it honout- ably through the court of justice.He will meet and silence thy accuser.He will obtain pardon for all thy sins.He will secur thy eternal justification be- ¢ fore God.Therefore look to Christ Alone.Tn all seasons of darkness, in all times of temptation, and even when thou hast fallen into sin, look to Jesus, and apply to him as thy Advocate.He will listen to thy cry, he will receive thy confession, he willtn- dertake thy cause, and he will bring thee out of darkness and the shadow of death, Precious Lord Jesus, thou gracious Advocate of thy people, as thou hast ever pleaded the causes of thy erring ones, do thou plead my cause, and so undertake for me as to brig me through my difficulties and dangers, to enjoy\u2019 thy Father\u2019s presence for ever ! Holy Spirit, unfold this glorious office of Jesus to my soul! 7 * For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of thie trie; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presece of God for us,\u201d\u2014Hebréya x.24.Ceres oe The \u201c MONTREAL WITNESS\u201d is printed snd published dd by JOHN DOUGALL, Proprietor, at 86 Great es -8 oot, House head ot Drummond Street, Montreal, "]
