Tu: Muss or Esrostiie Lin.-.—'P.he whole struc8\l.'\ of our nature, and the whole condition of our being prove that nature intended us not for a l’fe of indo- lence, but of active exertion. All the organs of the body, and all the faculties of the mind, are instruments of action, and it is only by oastant exercise, that these powers can o retained in a healthful state, and men enjoy any tolerable degree of felicity. If the body he suffered to remain long inactive, it will lose its strength, and

A Goon Hm-r.--If you want a son not to fall in love with any splenderiferous gal, praise her up to the skies. call her an angel, say she is a whole team and_ horse to spare, and all t-hat. The moment the critter sees her, he is a little grain disappointed, and says, “ Well, she is handsome, tliat’s a fact, but she is not so very, very everlustin’ after all.” Then he criticises lier. “ Her foot is too, thick in the instep; her elbow- bone is sharp, she rouges, is affected," and so on; and the more you oppose him the more he abuses her, till he swears, she is misroped and ain’t handsome at all. Say nothing to him and he is spooney over head and ears in a minute. He sees all beauties and no defects, and is for walking into her affectation at oncet. Nothin’ damages it

Whatever may have been the ustleo or morality of the English war wit China. it resulted in comparative beneﬁt to both nations; and the only mistake was, that it did not continue, until those ignorant and besotted peo ls had been made more fully satisﬁed of t eir own weakness, and the consequent folly of assuming to be superior to all the rest of the world. China should be more thoroughly Eu- ropesnized. The people do not want for civilization in their way, but they re- quire a more practical form of government, and as before remarked, less restricted intercourse with the world. Until these desirable ends can be brought about, it would seem to be the interest, indeed the duty, of all commercial nations to urge upon them, in such manner as will prove effectual, the necessity of a more en- lightened policy.

The existing treaties of the United States and France with China are impor- fect and though they are based upon the one with England, and are quite as ad- vantageous as could have been expected under the circumstances in which they were negotiated, they require revision, and remodeling on the first favorable occasion; and in all future trcaty-arrange- ments,there should be Provision made for the mutual enforcement (if need be, by armed intervention) of all the stipulated obligations and conceded rights of the contractiiig parties.

Diplomatic representatives should re- side at Pekin, Consuls be received at all the principal ports. The property and personal safety of aliens mid strangers should be gurirzinteed, and the same pri- vileges conceded to foreigners residing in or visiting China, as art: granted to them in Europe and America.

. it is singular, that the great powers of Europe, and the Government of the United States, who are so sensitive upon any interference with the rights of their respective subjects or citizens, if in the slightest degree infringed upon by either ‘party, should be so regardless of t-he in- sults and wrongs which have for years been heaped upon them in China, and until lately, by the Japanese also. It is quite time, that these things should be put a stop to ; and as, in respect to the Barbary powersund Japan, the Americans took the lead, let us again become the pioneers in teaching China, that she shall no longer resist the claims of other nations to come into just and friendly intercourse with her ; and to accomplishing these objects, it would only be necessary to assume a fixed and determined stand, and enforce our reasonable demands by an exhibition ofn respectable armament upon the coast. There would be no need of resorting to measures of aggression in- volving the necessity of hostilities. lf hostile demonstrations were to ensue, they would come from the Chinese themselves, and we should only be called upon to act on the defensive.

Let the American Envoy, backed by a complete force, assume that which is just and proper. Go to Pekin, whether invited there or not—and leave the re- sponsibility of resistance to the Chinese, and the probabilities would be, that those singular people would quietly acquiesce, and ultimately accede to his demands.

it is not necessary. to speal here of the armament, that would be requisite to carry out these measures, but it may not be out.of place to state, that a larger and different force than is now employed is wanted to protect, even. under present circumstances,the commercial rights of the United States with Cliina, and the neigh- bouring Empire of Japan, and to strength- en and further the efforts of our represen- tatives in those countries.—New York

Now, observe after this, a restoration is promised, and here the Abrshamic Covenant is referred to, as still in full force. “ I will hriiu; you into the land vvhichl aware to give unto Abraham, 81c.” The “Cove- nat" is again referred to, us the assurance of Reste- ration by Ezekiel, when speaking of the grand union of Israel and Judah, by the emblem of the “two sticks," "which union" says Bagster, " is a political one, and has not yet been accomplished."

And salt any Jew, the giountl on which he rests his hope of ropossessing Canaan, and be will inimediately refer you to Je- hovah’: own declaration, his oath to Abriiliain, to

To run Erin-on or l:hsuan‘s Giants.

it appears that the Canadian Parliament has been induced by the representations of certain members of the Established Church to address the Home authorities upon the expediency of passing an Imperial Act, for the repeal of on statutes, as may impede synodicnl action in the North American Colonies. The Minister has referred the matter to the consideration of the Law olicors of the Crown, and their re l , extracts from which will now be furnished, salhciently shows the im rscticsbility of the measure, under existing circumstances.

Ample proof is thus aﬂbrdsd of the illegality of the ate a alread taken in thelovrer colonies, on the so 9 author ty of their Bishops, to com- pass the sttainment of it similar 0 ject; and equally illegal, therefore was the attempt re- cently made in this Parish, although, I am happy to say, unsuccessful in its issue, to pro- cure the appointment ofa Lay delegation.

The amended resolution, put by iout. Han- coclr,and triumphantly curried, was well and reasonably guarded. f the Church were not, as is unhuppily the case, the theatre of party bickering, and o en, without authoritative re- sistance or rebuhe, to the invasion of Tracts- rian error, the formation of Diocesan Synods, and general assemblies would be every way desirable; but as it is, any innovation eﬂects its safety.

The objections to the synod, “ as at present constituted, had reference to the important con- cession ofa veto to the Bishop, or to his Com- misssry; and beyond a. doubt, the best reasons exist for the opposition which has been made to it here. But more of this another time.

Extracts from the opinion of the Law Oﬁcerl of the Crown on the sub'ect of the Canadian Synod, dated Atig. Slat’, 8:55. “ The address from the Canadian Legislative Assembly pro s for the introduction and passing of an linperisl statute for the repeal of such statutes as impede the meeting of t e Clergy and Lait in Synod rules an canons.” a Royal supremacy within the Colon! would be most seriously and decidedly aﬂ'ecte (thereby), nor is it ossible to foresee all the legal or ecclosiastic conse- quences which might ultimately result there-

oin."

Church, an Imperial statute would be neces- sary.”

“An Imperial statute must authorise the encral assembly, confer on its corporate existence and con- stitution, and extensive ecclesiastical and lo al power and jurisdiction, together with are iueans of enforcing its decisions and orders."

‘ " the Act required by the Canadian petitioners would extend far beyond the force and scope of any Imperial statute yet passed.’i (Signed). J. D. Haannto,
