Lachane, living wbout thirty miles below Quebec, has been ested for inhuman treatment of his child, a dumb eripple six years old. The child (a girl) died titely, and the coroner's investigation showed thatits death was ac- eelerated if not caused by the orders of La- chane, who habitually kicked it out of his sight and beat its nother for giving it food. Daring the inquest the prisoner got into a warm discussion with those present, main- taining his right, if not to killthe child. at least to break all its bones if he saw fit to de | $0, without the right of molestation by any | person. The poor little atom of humanity was always keptout of sight, ina box stowed haway under a bed in the sinall, ill) ventilated | hovel of its brutal parent; and whenever the child out of the black hole he allotted to. it, he was inthe habit ef at onee kicking the box and its inmate under the bed out of sight agnin. Tur Money Manrxets or Evrope.—The Heonomist onthe subject has the following remarks :— ** Alike in London, Paris, Brussels, Am- sterdam, Berlin and Frankfort, the rate of discount is only 3 per cent., and at all these places the tendency is towards a still lower rate. Yet, at each and all those cites, com- plaints of the scarcity of money were never more rife. We have suggested the real cause ot a state of things that is a real reproach to the intelligence of the age. Itis the fear of war, of war for which we hold there is no enuse that could stand the test of examinatio either in morals or in polities. Ulaving stated that, we are bound to add, on the other side, that the apprehensions refi to appear to have a great dealof exaggeration about them. Ttis hard, no doubt, to convince people that they ought to retain their confidence when symptoms of alarm are clearly apparent; and it would be unjustifiable to preach peace where there is no peace. But war is a long way off yet. With this view, the expediency may properly be suggested ot im- pirting a stiniiius to commercial movement, by reducing the price’of discounts to 24 per eent. Ifthis were done in London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, and Frankfort, where the terms are now three per cent., it cannnot be doubted that merchants would take advantage ofit to expand their new contracted operations, and that rulers and statesmen, seeing a revi- val of energy in trade, which implies more work for the laborer and more -profit for@he master, and, therefore, greater comfort for the people, and increased strength for the State, would shrink from sacrificing substan- tial benefits for the perilous honvurs attending doubtful enterprises. A reliable remedy for expelling worms so common with young children will be found in of the borough of Birmingham, 843,948; of the borough of Leeds, 235,428; of the borough of Shefield, 225,199; of the city ot Bristol, 155,572; of the borough of Newcustle-on-Tyne, 154,960; of the bor- pugh of Hull, 106,740, Brown’s Vermifuge Comfits, or Worm Lozen- ges which are pleasant to the taste; and no child will refuse to take them.

Several: mem- | bers—-good churchmen—-Mr. Gladstone among the rest, gave ulterance {to some very plain truth™ibout the Chureh estab- lished by law in Ireland, ‘There are in freland four millions anda half of Roman Catholics, about six hundred thousand Protes dissenters, and somewhere )cbout halt a million cf Churchmen, yet the church of this insignificant minority is made the church of the country, and the |large number of Catholics and’ Dissenters jare compelled to pay heavily towards the jreligious instruction of the small number of Churchmen living in Ireland. There are one hundred and fourteen parishes in | Ireland, the average number of Chureh- jmen in each of which is fourteen! In ‘| some parishes the cost of the religious in- struction of a single member of the estub- lished chureh is £58. One parson pets eleven hundred and odd pounds for teach- ing a mere handful of churchmen, while another fattcns on an income of more than three hundred pounds annually, without having a single parishioner of his own faith to benefit by his valuable min- istrations. We don't believe that this state of things exists in any other country under the sun, and we don't believe that there is another people to be found who would so patiently and good humouredly tolerate such a monstrous injustice, us the much-abused Irish. ’ Mr. Gladstone said nothing more than the simple trath, when he called the Irish Chureh anation- ul disgrace. ‘The case of the Roman Catholic and the Protestant Dissenter, in Ireland, is a peculiarly hard one. He of course cheertally contributes to the sup- port of the priest or clergyman of his own faith, but besides this he is compelled to give part of his substance, and a very jconsidcrable part too, to the minister of a church in whose teachings he does not believe. None of us on this side of the Atlantic would put up with such tyranny —lor it is nothing clse—tor a single day. We would very suon give those of the dominant church to understand that we would support no clergy but those in Whose teachings we believed, Toleration is a lesson that the old world people are an unconscionable long time in learning. But the Irish Church is doomed, — It will not be much longer a reproach to the British nation that they exercise the most hateful and unjustifiable of tyrannies over a subject people.

By Char= les W. Hull, Boston: Lee & Shephard, Tuts book will be read with peculiar interest. by the natives of these Lower Provinces. It carries the reader back in Imagination to the days when this Island and the neighboring Colonics were the theatre of deadly conflict between. the French and the Wnglish races—when the Indian, not yet civilized into imbecility and insignificance, was a friend to be valued, and an enemy to be dreaded—to the days when the Island was covered with the primeval forest— when the unspoiled children of nature led that life best suited to the natural bent of their disposition, and in which they frequently displayed a native dignity, and even a grandcur of character, of whieh not the slightcst trace can be found in their de- moralized and degencrate descendants. ‘Twice ‘Taken’ is a story of seiges and battles; of betrayed love, and successful revenge. We have here the sad reeital of Acadian wrongs anclof English cruelty, ‘The reader will easily perceive that out of such materials an able and imaginative writer could weave a romance of thrilling interest.

We will not indicate faults, or point out beauties, We advise the reader to purchase the book, and judge for himself. We have no great faith in the eritie’s function. If the book is suited to the reader's taste he will enjoy it in spite of the condemnation of the self-appointed censor; and if it is not suited to his taste, he will throw it aside half-read, maugre the highest en- comiums of the most competent of critics, The book is before the public, and it is for the public either to approve of it or to condemn it, gat One thing, however, we will say—and that is, that we have seldom seen a pret- tier, more tastefully vound, or better printed book. It will grace any drawing room table, or ornament any book-case, no matter how clegant its companione, lic opinion now judges very differently o %! se
