Dear Brethren, in preaching to you on the Twelfth I only did my duty. It is my duty to God to preach His word on every suitable occasion, it is my duty to my Brethren, to explain to them, as far as I can, the Holy Word of God, which we take as our rule and guide, and which is dear to the heart of every érue and Loyal Orangeman. Oh, may we ever be enabled by the grace of God, to defend its truths, and experience its import in our hearts, and manifest to the world that we take the " Great Jehovah. for our guide." Dear Brethren, it is with feelings of gratitude I receiye the very handsome purse presented by your Worthy Master, Mr. G. M.; in the name of L. O.'L., 45. Please receive my sincere thanks for this valuable gift, which shall be gratefully re- membered by your affectionate well-wisher, JOHN ARMSTRONG, Wesleyan Minister. Millbank, Oct. 3rd, 1863. Morrespondence. PIII AAR A Ren To the Editor of the Herald. Mr, Eprror,--In, reply to the Beacon man's correspondent,. I beg.to state.that the members of the present Council of Mornington will be prepared to state good and sufficient reasons at the general Hlec- tion for pursuing the course which they have pursued. We have a very good class of Council- lors,, and have, no.-desire to change them for pick pocket aspirants. A RATEPAYER. Oil upon the Waters. The effect attributed to a "soft answer,"' the moderation, of wrath, has, frequently been illustrated by a.reference to the action of oil upon waves. From the time of Plu- tarch and .Pliny, who relate that the mari- ners of their day were accustomed to' still wayes in' a storm' by 'pouring oil intd"thd sea, it has passed current in populay speech; that this effect by such means, may be pro- duced, .and, though treated with discredit in modern times, experiment proyes that there 8 some truth in the statement. "Among the facts reported in fayor, of it, the. fol- lowing appears: in a letter. to -Gount Ben: tinck. from, M;, Tengragel, ; datedy Batavia, Jan. 5th, 1770, :--" Near. the islands Paul and Amsterdam; »we met with' a 'storm, whieh had nothing' particular in it) worthy of being communicated to you, except that the Captain found hiniself obligédy for greater safety, in wearing the ship, to pour oil into the sea, to! prevetit'the waves breaking over her ;-which had an excellent effect, anil &udéeéded in preservine us?" "Tt was the practice of the fishermen' éf Lisbon, when about to return inte thesrivery if they. saw. before them, too great a Surf upon the bar, which they apprehended. :mights-fill their boats in, passing, .to empty a bottle of oil into the sea, to sippress the breakers, Previois tb"the|tithé fof Tlanklingno! fda been other thana-Clear Guity sthe!GipBe \e cet discount will be made. of science made experiments» upon the sub- ject; butwhis yattention :wag Called" 48 if byl Co @ cireumstancé. Which he thus narrates :--- "Tm1757 being at Bea! in' 4 feet' of Ninéty- six sail bound for Louisbourgh, I observed the wakes of two of the ships to be remark- ably smooth, while all the others were ruf- fled by the wind, which blew fresh. Being puzzled with the differing "appearance, I at last pointed it out to our Captain, and asked him the meaning of it. "The cooks," said he, "have I suppose, been just émptying their greasy water through the scuppers, which has greased the sides of those ships a little ;" and this answer he gaye me with an air of some little contempt, as to a person ig- norant of what everybody else knew. In my own mind I at first slighted his solution, though I was not able to think of another." The issue of one of Franklin's experiments upon a pond is detailed in a volume of the Philosophical Transactions. After drop- ping a little oil into the water, he states ; " I saw it spread itseif with surprisidg swiftness upon the surface, but the effect of smoothing the waves was not produced ; for I had ap- plied it first upon the leeward side of the pond, where the waves were largest, and the wind drove my oil back upon the shore. I then went to the windward side, where they began to form ; and there the oil, though not more than a teaspoonful, produced an in- stant calm over a space several yards square, which spread amazingly, and extended itself gradually till it reached the lee-side, making all that quarter of the pond, perhaps half an acre, as smooth as a looking glass." Frank- jim again experimented at the entrance of Portsmouth Harbour, opposite to Haslar Hospital,in company with Sir Joseph Banks, Dr. Blagden, and Dr. Solander, where the waves, though not destroyed, were reduced tocalm and gentle swelling undulations. " I imagine," says Franklin, accounting for the effect, "that the wind blowing over. water covered with a film of oil cannot easily catch upon it, so as to raise the first wrinkles, but slides over it, and leaves it as smooth as it finds it--Gal. of Nat. Mr. Brownin anew Character. St. Catharines Constitutional. Mr. George Brown, of the Toronto Globe, has been figuring disgracefully before the Court of Queen's Bench, at Toronto, It appears that among the legion of the' great Onontio's creditors was a Mr. Crum, of Scotland, holding a judgment on a mort gage for $10,364. At the close of 1860, Mr. Brown made an arrangement with Mr. Freeland, of Toronto, .Mr. Crum's agent, that' the execution' should be forborne, on condition of the debtor paying interest' at the rate of 12} per cent, until the principal was discharged. This arrangement. was carried out; Mr. Brown paying'the 'ititerest at this rate, receiving periodically statements from the agent of the amount due with the interest 'so' stated, which' amounts he dis- charged without cavil, until April, 1863, when a writ was signed to collect thé amount due. Then the defendent for the first time set pup a plea that he had néyer agréed fo pay 12} per cent interest, and claiming that the excess over 6 per cent*should be applied to the reduetion of the principal sum, and he supported this plea by an affidavit in which he deliberately contradicted the testi mony of Mr. Crum's agent, and the partner of that agent, who corroborated it. The casescame before Mr. Justice A dani Wilson, certainly not-an unfavorable judge for Mr. Brown, having been one of his political fol- lowers. The actual issue was, which of the parties had committed perjury ;-if-' Mr. Brown's affidavit contained the truth, that of the plaintiff's agent was manifestlyfalsey on the coatrarg if Mr, Freeland's evidende was .trué, Mr. Brown's defence was an 'un- questionable fraud, supported by deliberate perjury. _ The judgment was deliyered on 'Thursday last, for-the plaintiff. The judge reviewed" the" case at considerable' length, with the general conclusion that the fact that there had beenyan express? agreeniént to pay the amount of interest claimed was proved not .only by Mr. .Freeland-and -his partner, and by the several accounts ren- dered by. them»to the defendant at various times, showing the progress of the recuction- of the debt, and agcepted by him, but by re- peated acts of the defendant himself, in recognizing: vérbally and in writing the cor- rectniess of these statements, in paying at various. times -the exacty sum of interest claimed "at the 'ate \of "194 per "cent. 'Whereupon he adjudged the great Re- former' to, pay the amountdethanded of him with interests and. costs..-.Hadithe judge would have denounéed the>'dédikion as # orruptionist, eProsegution ; as it is, Mr. THE QUALIFICATION.
