It needs no argument to rove that those two Clemente of forces, are as irectly opposite to each other, as fire and water, or death and life. A compromise between them is not a possibili- y. In all their eﬂects and inﬂuences. direct Ind indirect. they are constantly warring with

-Qch other. These persons who profess the .0lirielian faith, and sustain the rum traflie, have stolen the livery of Heaven to serve the idevil in, and they ought to be arrested, at ‘least I) the police of public opinion. This mask of hypocrisy ought to be torn from them, that the community may know just where they Ch .

A distinguished Aiiierican writer says:

" Mciiiliers of the Ulziireli of God most pure. bear it in iuind, that intcuipei-.incc in our land and the world over, !§l.lliLlS in the way of the gospel. It opposes the 'Il'(l;:l'L‘.~S of the reign of Christ in every village and luiuilet, in (ivory city, and .1t-cvei-_y (.‘)l‘lI<'l' of the street. It stands in the '.v:'._y of i'cvivnl~4 of i'eligiun. and of the glories of the uiilleriiiial inoi-ii. livery druukard opposes tlicgiiiilleiiiiiiiiii ! every drain drinker stands in the \v:i_v of it, every drain seller stands in the way of it. Let the semi- Inent be heard, and echoed and i'c-echoed all along the hills. and valcs, and sir:-aiii.~i of tho land,-that the coiivci'.~ion ol :1 nuiu who liabi- tually uses ardent spirits is all but hopeless. And let this sentiment be followed up with that mulanclioly truth. that the money wasted in this busiuess—nuw a curse to all n.itious.— nay. he money wasted in one year in this land lor it, would Atlllclll a_ lliblo in every family on the earth, an cstabli.~ili a school in every vil- I1\gt'—.'tlld that the talent which iuteiuperaucc consigns each year to infamy and eternal per- dition, would be suﬂicieut to bear the gospel over sea and lnnd—to polar snows, and to the minds ofn. burning sun.”

One of the uniform benefits of the temperance toforiuiition is its influence upon the advance- meat of ()lirii~'t.'-unity. Wlierever‘ the .\laiiio law has been fnitlifully executed, or the coiii- snuiiity have fully suppressed intenipcrance in any other way, the Sabbath is been better observed, churches have been better attended and the reformed have in many instances be- come Christians. thirty-live thousand reformed drunkards in England, nearly six thousand have become nieiubers of elii-isti-an churches. It is evident, therefore, and if the

spel is ever to triumph, the grog shops must E: banished from our cities. All the preaching and praying in Christendom cannot save ii com- munity cursed by the evils of the rum traffic.-

A Face‘ ros Miivisi-sss.—’l‘lio influence of mi- tnistere in promoting the Temperance cause, and what ms be done by one man, even with little efort, has been lately illustrated in one .of our provincial towns, where the movement made so progress than in any others, and only one minister (a United Presbyterian) was an ahstsiner. One of the Free Church mini- nters having become convinced of the im r- hnee of the subject, roposeds conference on it.~ This was attende by almost all the mini- qters, and many of the C rietisn In men of the ¢own.— e result was most grsti ying. Two ministers of the Establishment, three of the I‘ree Church, (all that are in the town), one United Preebyterisn, one Ori lnsl Sseeder, and one Mo:avian—every one of t em new converts --enrolled themselves as sbetsinere, followed within two or three months b about 500 pie, including many 0 co-besrere and is persons.

(From Wilmer’: European Tiinee, March 29th.)

Another week has passed ‘t Without peace being proclaimed, and people were wondering what hitch could have occur- red in the deliberations. In this uneasy state of the public uiiud, the leading morning journal of yesterday, relying cvidemly, on some scraps of iiiforniatioii picked up in Downing-street, iritiinatcs that while the last diplomatic diﬂiculiy was on the point of being settled, the claim which Prussia has put in to sign the treaty on the same terms as the other European Powers had given rise to delay, but that even this unexpected obstacle has been overcome. From the same source we learn that so near was the completion of peace before this inter- ruptioii, that Louis Napoleon had given orders for the cannon of the luvalides to announce it at the same time that the Te Damn was resounding in the churches of l<‘raiicc for the safe delivery of the l‘ilnpl'(‘SS. 'I‘lie Emperor, who delights in striking effects, must have been sorely niortified that it was otherwise; but the dilliculty was too great to be immediate- ly overcome. At length the point in dis- pure has been settled by It kind of com- promise. 'l‘\vo protocols are to be drawn up, or rather we should say, have been drawn up by this time, to the first of wluch the signature of the Allied il’lnlll|I0l(‘llll:lt‘lCS and those of Russia ‘will be attached, and nuollier wliicli gl’i'ussia will be permitted to sign in con-

jiinctioii with the reprcscnl:itives of other

our of his Christiansdbjects amongst the articles of peace. ' ‘The same reprcs_e,nla- live line also been instructed to oppose any arangement respecting the Principal- ities which in.-iy in any way compromise the Sovereign rights of the Porle,-—so that we can readily "conceive that the sire and even the arroguiice of the Power whose feebleucss led to the war have been of the most preposterous and even insulting kind.

THE nvssmr ARMY.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 15th sziys:—"The Irwalidc Russo an- nounces to-da that the Emperor, having been informe that the battalions which were sent from the division of the depot of the 6th corps d’amtee in 1855 to com- plete the troops in the Crimes were not properly armed, and were unﬁt to conti- uue their march, published an order of the day on the subject on the 12th. in that docuiuent the Emperor severely ceusures— I, General Marin, who com- innuds the depot, for having neglected to superiiiteud the proper execution of or- ders given by his superiors, by which ucgligeuce the troops were impeded iir Ilieir iiiareli; and 2, General vou Brine, the chief of the staff of all the reserves and depots, for liuviiig only inspected Ilie said lmttzilioiis in :1 very superficial iiiauiier previously to their departure from llloscmv.

But the discussion in the Ilritisli llzirlianieut will eompelMiui§ters for their own sakes to give as clear on iusiglit into the uiacliiucry of the Conife- reuce as possible, for the oppositioii are already preparing to make political capi- tal out of wliatever sliortcomiugs the terms of peace may present. (hi this head Lord l’alincrstoii’s Ministry will be vigorously assailed, an it is fortunate for him that his Foreign Minister is so popular willi the country, and possesses the_reputaliou of having been tliorouglily in earnest respecting the war from its comnieucenieut. 'l‘hc terms of pence we‘ believe, are still matter of c.onjecturc_. but it is useless to indulge in speculation when we are so near the reality.

If the accounts from Constantinople are to be relied on, much of the time of the Conference lins been occupied with the reforms essential to the regeneration of Turkey, but the obetinscy of the Turks on a subject is well lmown. It is gratify- ing, nevertlielees, to find it stated that two chsmberlnins of the Sultan lied been dismissed for opposing the reforms pro- claimed by their master; lint on the otlicrhand we learn that the Portc has re- jected s petition from s number of Mol- avisn Boysrds, accompanied with an in- timation that all similar protests will be but down. Anli Pache, the Turkish re- presentative intlie Perie Conferences, line also been requested not to consent to the

THE: CONCIZSSIGSS or RUSSIA.-—ll is said that Russia, at the Conferences, has conceded the demand that Nicolaieff should cease to be a war port. Unless the concession includes the demenlling oftlic dockyurds, the Western Powers may soon discover that they have been deceived. Russia may build a ﬂeet of incrclnint-vessels at that port capable of being exleinpnrised into war and troop ships, and in suﬂicient number to trans- port an army to any point of Ilie Black Sea. 'l‘lic steam-ships of the Cunard line, the Peninsular and Oriental, and other large companies, are now all built- witli the view of being made available for IVII’ proposes at the shortest notice.
