'mazfi‘i'i‘54F‘r" From the Globe of Wednesday. A meeting was held last evening in Gould- streot Presbyterian Church, for the purpme of listening toan address the Rev. Dr. Burns, on some of the most interesting incidents con- nected with the consnrriationlof Union at, Mon- treal last“ week of the United Presbyteriaii' Church with the Presbyterian Clturoh of Cana- da. After praise and prayer the Rev. Dr. rose, and after a few pelimi‘tiary remarks said thal one great reason foe having the Union con- summated in Montreal was thatit had long been the strong-hold of Popet‘y. The Protes- tants therefore, and the Presbyterians especially conSidored that it would only be proper to give the followers of the Roman-(Stat-holic Church a specimen of the Union which prevailed among Protestants. l‘le‘theii went on to say that at the first meeting of the twoSyItods 306 members answered to thel‘r‘fitimes’; that Others subscâ€" quontly arrived, so that it was calculated tha. at the consummation ‘of the Union there could not ltave been less than 400 Ministers and l‘lld- ors present.

When this laigeedi- ECG was in process of being erected; the Wes- leyan body applied to all denominations of Pro- testants for assistance, and gave aplodge that at all times the church “’Ollld he placed at the disposal of Protestants for the purpose of hold- ing meetings. Under these Circumstances, they had acertain right to use the building, which was capable of holding upwards of 3,000 persons. In the centre of the edifice a platfortii had been erected.capablo ofaccommo- l l dating titty niotiibers of Synod. including the Moderator, retiring Moderators, and those gentlemen who were to deliver Addresses.

All the itssnlllbiagt‘ ljoined in the singing of the psalms, and the prayers offered up werqmost appropri tie to the ~ occasion, and addresses were delivered by gett- l tlemen who had been selected for that purpose. Rev. Dr. Taylor of the United Presbyterian l {3}.arch,h’Iontreal,was tliotl “tiaiiitnouslv chosen the fit'sfhlodcrator of the United Synod.

After referring to the hospitality of the citizens of Montreal, 1 the Rev. gentleman concluded his very interest- ing address by alluding to the great benefits which would follow this auspicious Union. The proceedings terminated with the pronouncâ€" ing of the benediction. ' EAENCE OF CANADA. .._..

We believe that, as a consequence of the Merrill 'l'arrif‘t', the stream of cuiiimerce and ofetitiâ€" graiion will be diverted from the Utiitod States to Canada. .VVe have no apprehension that war’s alarms will resound in the Provinces. \Ve find that whilst separation is an coniplished fact in the United Statos, liritislt North America is clatt‘torons for Federal Union. When we retiiomber that Canada, Nova Scotia. and New Brunswick possess a population equal to that of the thirteen colonies which eighty years ago revoltcd from ibis country, we cannot believe that they have no weight and authority in the future destinies of the American continent. Owing to tho folly, the turbulence, and the ' Pi“.- VIO- lence of the South. the balance of power has been virtually transferred from republican America to ttlonarcltial Canada. At the re- quest of Sir lt'etiwick \Villinnis. the regular troops in the province are about to its aitg» merited: bttt the true solution of the question of self-defence depends upon the volunteers, whom the home Governtiient, with aview t0 ‘ the inquiries of the Military Colonial Expen- diture Cotiititittee, now sitting. wish to patron- ize and extend. it is fortunate that the foun- dor of the movement is Sir Allan McNah, a gallant and honest soldier, who has equally proved his loyalty to his mother country, and his devotion to the best interests of North America. But it is the duty of Canada. on public and commercial grounds, to be preparw ed. it is stated that thousands of British sub? jects are flocking, with their goods and money, into Canada, being desirous of escaping frotn the terrors attd calamities of civil war Tiie coutso of tiade will be diverted from the bet- ligerent Powers, to the only state, which by .its inland waters can communicate directly with the North and the West. If the balance of power should fall to the lot of llritisli North America, Canada, by her energy. activity, and preparedness, is wisely showing her apprecia- tion both of her duties and rights, at a great and itiiportattt crisis, which a year ago, no man livi ng‘ could have foreseen. ._..__.... ___.-._..r.._. ~__._._.._._‘ THE “tenant. too: 13‘ CHli‘x‘A.â€"~ CITY or “,3” 1, jug, and equitable, but otherwise, the judgment Fhr'tll ho to confirm tho-same. ,' 6.
