A short time ago, the Court of Arbitration, appointed by the Aeovernments of Great Britain and the U. Ktages, sitting at Ualifax. determined that the U, Wates would have to pay Canada five and e half millions dollars on gccount of certain Fishery privilezes aecorded to the U. States by the Waushington Treaty. Sinee then various exeuses have been made for not paying the money over, and now Mr. Evarts, Sceretary to the U. States‘ Government, says in effect though not in word, that they cannot pay it now and that they will not. The whole affair is a cocâ€" tinuous attempt at evasion of one‘s plain duty, and evasion of a very shabby kind at Liberal Offer.

The Ameer of Afghanistan though avowedly desirous of being friendly, is said to be seeretly preparing to attack the Britâ€" ish troops at Quettah near the frontier, and in doing so is said to be urged on by Rusâ€" sian intrigue. In Europe again, matters are worse still. The Eussians have an army of 200,000 men within a short distancs of Constantinople, and fresh recruits are daily pouring over the Balkans from the Quadriâ€" latoral, while at the same time she refuses on various pretexts to evacuate Roumelia. It wonld seem thersfore that Russia is preâ€" paring for a conflict with Great Britan, and that the policy of Lord Beaconsfield which was trumpeted as being a peace with honour, tyrns out to be the most insane piece of stageâ€"craft which has come to light during these lntter days.

So thit since the approach of cur late frosts which have beer. very generally felt all over the Continent, the death rate from this plague has Leen reduced to & minimum. During the past few months the total number of cases was about 24,000 and the total number of deaths about 11,000. The towns which suffered | the most severely are New Orieans, Memâ€" phis, and Vicksburg, and although the (hs-“ ease spread to the States of Alabama and‘ Florida. and even as far north as Kentueky | and Illinois the cases were not numerous. and the deaths were few. In New Orleans and its neighbourhood the state of things was very different. Whole streets and districts were deserted, the people flying, as if from an advancing conflagration. Howâ€" ever there were not wanting those who stood their ground and performed the last offices for the sick and the dying. Clergyâ€" men, physicians and nurses were always to be found, and among the dead will be found the names of many clergymen, phyâ€" lsiciuxs, nurses, as well as journalists and ! men of high offizial position, civil and miliâ€" tary. ‘The Northern States and Canada contributed liberally towards the support of | the destitute. The Hon. R. J. Cartwright was elected for Centre Huron on Saturday by a maâ€" jority of 427. Before the electione the Toronto Mail pointed out to the meehanies everywhere that the path to higher wages was in putâ€" ting the late Government out and putting Sir John A. in. Now the Mail refuses to insert a temperate letter from the cigarâ€" makers on strike agamst a reduction of wages, The cignrâ€"makers are beginning to find the N. P. out. It was never intended to help the mechanie. Thareal design of the ery was to help John A. and a dozen of his Pacificers to $7,000 a year cach, ‘ Says the Oshawa Reformer:â€"The new Cabinet is composed of seven lawyers, one doctor, one printer, one shipbuilder, and four gentlemen of leisure. There is not one farmer or manufacturer in it. Encouraging to those who advocated the "Natiqnal Policy," isn‘t it ? { There is thus plainly set forth before the people of Canada whatis expected by those manufacturers and speeulators. â€" Unless Sir John A. Macdonald‘s Government will eome to time and enact the proper amonut of protection, why another Government will. So that henceforth the Government of Canada is to be the creature of factions and monopolies instead of being the reâ€" presentatives of the people atlarge. Could audacity go further than this? _ After all they are only asking for what was promisâ€" ed them. Sir John ir the course of his pereginations through the country, promâ€" ised the manufacturers whatever protecâ€" tion they wantedâ€"40, 50, 80, per cent., and they were foolish enough to take him at his word, as many of them did, and made shipwreck of their political convieâ€". tions, It is noé long since the interests of Canada suffered from the existence of a poworful monopoly. The Grand Trunk, which not very long ago, to a large extent controlied the Government of Sir Jonn A. Macdonald. _ And it would seem as if we were now to have a repitition of this scandalons state of things though in a somewbat altered form. â€"From the London Free Press we learn that a conference is about to be held in New York, for the purpose of more fully discussing the Second Advent. This imâ€" portant event has occupied theattention of the curious from the days of the Apostles. Some have predicted this event with such certainty as tostate the day and the hour, while others satisfied themselves with more general conclusions upon the matter. Afew years ago & famous London preacher, Dr. JohnCummming, placed the end of all things in 1866, 1867 or 1869, and in our own County last year there were a few persons so thoroughly convineed of the correctness of their anticipations,that they retired to a quiet place remote from the haunts of mon, where they might with becoming sevenity of mind await the lookedâ€"for event. Such is an illustration of the fanaticism which sometime runs away with people of usually sober minds. â€" The Conference is organized under the auspices of Dr.Tyng.a very popular New York preacher. _ Invitations have been sent to Clergymen in the Old World, as well as the New, and as might have been expected have been variously replied to. We subjoin that of Mr Spurgeon and comâ€" mend it to all whose minds may be exerâ€" cised upon this subject. Mr. Spurgeon said:â€"*"I cannot write about the second advent save only that I look for the Lord to come in like manner as he went awayâ€" viz., in person. . Of the day and the hour I know nothing. * * * I desire to wait and to watch, but not to star gaze. &0 * _ % â€" If ever I have more light I will spread it, but at present I look for the Lord to come, but I know not when." "The time for argument and discussion has gone by ; the cause has been fairly and patiently heard, and judgement rendâ€" ered ; all that now remains is to execute the judgement, and if one set of officers will not do it with pomptness and despatch, the country wi l not be long in finding anâ€" other set more willing to obey orders." "It is a subject with which there can be no trifling, or unreasonable delay ; it reâ€" quires, and must receive, at the hands of our statesmen, {prompt, energetic, and thorough treatment. The manufacturers are ill at ease on conâ€" templating the ministry of Sir John A. Macdonald. They have a faint glimmer of the dread that they have been fooled, that they have sold themselves to the archâ€" jugglor, and that after all their sacrifices last fall for the purpose of giving Sir John a majority they must now eat the leek of dissappointment as best they can. One of the faithful has been writing to the Monâ€" treal Gazette and closes a very stormy and thundering commanication on the adâ€" option of the National policy as follows :â€" THE MANUFACTURERS AXD PROTECTION. TORONTO particle of it is lost. What toâ€"day may form the flower which adorns the garden, may in a very short time form part of the structure of the hand which cultivates it. So that here in the workings of nature herâ€" self. we are taught the beauty of a rigid ccâ€" onomy, and it is only by the exercise of econemy, selfâ€"denial and thrift that we can tide over the difficulties of the hard times, Some persons may be deterred from the practice of economy by the absurd notion tha‘ to be economical is to be mean. This is a great mistake. Economy is one thing, niggardliness is another. A man cannot be just nor generous unless he is first economical. _ Moreover economy is a plain duty. Itis not ours to waste anything we may be possessed of. Economy is a law otf nature. There is nothing wasted but everyâ€" thing is husbanded carefully. â€" Matter asâ€" sumes an infinite variety of form but no Every person is nowâ€"aâ€"days erying out about hard times, and no. wonder, for the pressure of hard times is felt by most people. Business men and vorkingmon‘ are complaining not only here I=t in the United States and the countries of Europe of the soarcity of money, and of the searcity of remunerative employment. _ And that this is no empty cry, is abundantly evident from the number of failures that are daily ocenuring among business men, the short hours and reduced wages among the manuafacturing and labouring classes, and the strikes, the coâ€"operative unions and unsatisfactory relations generally, which exist between capital and labour the world over. Various canses are assigned for ithis state of things. A few months ago large numbers of the people of Canada were quite confident, that, if Sir John A. Macdonald and the Conservative party could be again reâ€"instated on the Treasury !benches. pood times would gemerally apâ€" pear. â€" But although this has happened inâ€" stead of there being any signs of improveâ€" ment, matters are going from bad to worse, and the present outleook at home and anbroad is discouraging in the extreme. There is no question but the incoming winter will be one of the most trying to all classes, but espocially to the middle and poorer classes, of any exporienced since the winter of 1857. | Is there no remedy for this state of things? ‘There is, and one which is ever ready to the hand of all who wish to apply it. Economy, This is not only the secret of making money but also of avoiding dabt and misery. People must learn to comâ€" press their wants within the limit of their means, and make their expenditure equare with their income. _ Says Micawber, "Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen pounds, nineteen shillings and sixpence, resultâ€"happiness. Annual income twonty pounds, annual exâ€" penditure twenty pounds oight and sixâ€" pence, resultâ€"misery." Mr. Micawber‘s experience thus so vividly depicted by Dickens, is that of thousunds whose whole lives are made misernable by living beyond their means, and it will never be otherâ€" wiso until people have learned the misery of being in debt, and the dishonesty of spending what is not their own, but what belongs to their creditors. _ There are many people who think they practice a most rigid economy because they look after the large expenditures of the household, while they allow the small ones to take care of themselves. ‘This is the rock upon which very many make shipwreck. Every one knows the old adage "take care of the penznies and the pounds will take care of themselves," but how few practice it. Life is made up of little things. â€" Great fortunes are made by the gradual but constant acâ€" cumulations of small savings, and in like manner, debt and bankruptey are preâ€" cipitated by the want of attention to small outlays, insignificant in themselves. And as with individuals so with communities. No people know so well rs the French how to make the most of everything â€" how to practice the small economies. And to this causo is chiefly due the great recuperative power of the country, so that in a fow years France was able to pay off the onorâ€" mous debt entailed upon it by the recent war with Germany. Few will deny but that the general prosâ€" perity of the country may be increased or hindered by the nction of the Government in power. â€" Improper and wasteful ex penditure of money by the Executive, not only directly increases the burdens of the people, but the force of such example, has a very injurious effect, _ Undue interference with the course of trade by the Governâ€" ment is of still greater mischief directly and indirectly. But a careful consicderation of the matter will clearly show that the cause of the hard times lies not so much with _ the outside _ world as â€" with ourselves. ‘The root of the matter is the extravagance which parvades all classes of society. People haste to get rich, for the purpose of being able to gratify their tastes iuml vanities. We have turned our backs upon the virtuous simplicity and homely fare of our forefuthers, and the rage now is for outside show and glitter at whatever cost. In drsss, in food in Inxury, in amusement the evil is as clearly manifest as the spots on the surfsce of the moon in a clouldless sky. ‘The better classes launch out into extravagance, and their example is followed by others in stations below them, and thus many live the whole of their lives heavily handicapped with needâ€" lessly incurred debt. Benjamin Franklin, said that one should never buy anything which he didn‘t really want, no matter how cheap it might be, and all thie more surely, unless he is able to pay for ft without inâ€" conveniencs,. A new shawl may be very desirable for Madame aud a new bonnet somewhat necessary Zor M‘selle, and even a new coat for paterfismilias,but if these reâ€" curring and similar expenditures will preâ€" vent both ends meeting at the ead of the year, what will the end be? _ The farm or the lot must be mortgeged to pay the store bills, large sums for interest incranse terâ€" ribly, the yearly â€" expenditures which are ever increasing, soorer or Intor the whole is brought to the hammer and thore is a general breaking up, and heart burning and many grey hares are brought to an early grave. HALD TIMES. Wr learn that our "Worshipful Mayor" has been informed by a London firm that it will be happy to supply him with the habiliments necessary to make his appearâ€" ance before the Marquis of Lorne and Her Royal Highness the Princess Louise, in a manner becoming the dignity of his office. We are not aware whether His Worship has yet determined upon the particular style of She garments or the length of the sword. But these important matters will no doubt be receiving his careful considâ€" eration. . At all events it is to be expected that as our chief magistrate will now have the honour of basking in the rays of royâ€" alty; that no such unseemly scenes will be allowed by the Council to occur as. the refusal of a constable to do his duty when called upon to do so, In our staite of pupilage when jusâ€" tice was dispensed in the wigwam such irregularities might be tolerated, but now in such changed cirenmstances the office should always recsive becoming deference and its anthority be duly respected. If people will not buy but what they really need, and what they can affort to pay for, if they will learn to practice a little sel{â€" denial as to present tastes and possibly vanitiss, and learn to make the best of what God has given them without attemptâ€" ing to appear what they sre not, then we shall be able to survive the present period of depression, and to take advantage of the season of prosperity when it comos.

The moetine éclosed with #ha hass3s On Thursday last the Rev. Joseph Cook of Boston, one of the great thinkers of the age, addsessed a mecting of the Students of Kuox College, Toronto. The Rev. gentleâ€" man was recompanied to the plaiform by the Rev. Pros, Gzegg, Dr. Potts snd others. After a few int». ductory remarks by Prof. Gregg, Mr. Cook began by taking a glance at the German tuniversities. Not fong ago anoted professor of the University of Halle, Julins Muller, had closed his life pillowing his head upon the profoundeet evangelical faith. â€" Sixty or cighty years ago the Uniâ€" versity of Halle was under the control of rationalism. When Tholuck came there he was cxecedingly unpopular ; he was insultâ€" ed in the lectureâ€"room on account of his reâ€" ligions views; he could not find an "exâ€" perimental christian‘; the professors and students _ petitioned _ the â€" Government against his appointment. But Iis faith, based on wise culture, sustained him, and not long ago, on the fiftieth anniversary of his settiement at Halle, he received congratulations not only from the Governâ€" ment, not only from the various theoloâ€" gical faculties, but from learned men in ‘ all quarters of the globe,. Aud the speaker believed that the University of‘ Halle was thoroughly evangelistic at this moment. _ So with the other groat seats 01'1 learning in Germary. â€" Leipsic had two or three of our ablest evangelical te:x(‘hcrsâ€"â€"‘ they were oven callod byperâ€"orthodox. The University of Beri‘n is evangelical in its theological department. â€" Out of the thirty» four he did not know more than two Uniâ€" versities in Germany that ought to be called rationalistie. Our best commentaries now come from Germany; we used to get the leadâ€" ing materialistic works from that country, l Haeckal is now the only representative of philosophical materialism in Germeny , ‘ and he is one o the best persecuted profesâ€" sors there. . Nirchow, a great biologist and chemiss. has just written a book in which he attacked the positions of Haeckel. The speaker had an immense respect for the metaphysical capacity of the nglish race, ' but just now the English peoples were singu» larly destitute of philosophical leaders. | Since Sir Wm. Hamulton, Seotland had no ‘ master mind devoted to the higher branches of philosophical thought. ‘The English mind was now turned to the investigation of natural seience. _ In both the two great universities of England, in the two leading ones ot the Unitel States, philosophich‘ study is at an unfortanately low ebh nt the present moment. ‘The object of theological students should be to teach poople the use of selfâ€"evident truthsâ€"hcw to solve their difficulties by theso selfâ€"evident truths, â€"It will not do for students to say that they do not caro for the discoveries of physi logy or chemistryâ€"they should be n.bf:‘:; say they understand_ them and are not afraid of them, But then they did not need to drag these subjects before the public on Bunday.

THE QURTERLY MEETING. was held on Sabhbath. _ The Church was well filled. The Rev. R. Godfrey preached from the words "Whereby are given nnto us exceeding great and precious promises that by these ye might be made pertakers of the Divine natare, having escaped the corruptions that are in the world through Inst," 2nd Peter 1, 4. The discourse was listend to with marked attention, and many a Christian hbeart was warmed while the preacher pointed ont the "great and procious promises" to the "Christian" to the "penitent," and to the " hardâ€"hearted stiflâ€"neeked sinners." _ And then showed the ground on which these promises rest, via : the Word and oath of God. _ And then showed how these promises are means of holiness. He asked what is holiness in the Christian man? Why it is the expression of love to God, and the stronger the love the higher will be the holiness, but love is fed by love ; here it is that God‘s promâ€" ises come in as a means of holiness, they are all God‘s words of love to us, they are all the openings ofhis heart to us, they tell us how much he eares for us ; howall that touches us touches hi. ‘The more thereâ€" fore we live upon the promises the more do we see God‘sgreat love to us. and seeing that our love to him is strengthened and deepened, and in yielding our whole beina into eonformity to his will.
