Notes of the Month.

Gerwasy anv Russta have been grow!- ing and showing their teeth at each other, like two quarrelsome dogs ; and, as an ad- ditional sign of bad temper, Germany makes a nasty snap at France. [t may mean nothing, just as sometimes dogs, after a good deal of noise, wag their tails and walk off. It was a rather curious affair. The Cologne Gazetie is generally acknowledged to be inspired by Prince Bismarck, and it, in downright scolliug terms, threatened France for appearing too friendly with Russia. Russia was and is moving large bodies of troops and.war material to the German frontier, and both countries are increasing their armies.

What are we to expect from the new Ministry of France? Itis hard to keep the run of their political parties. When a country is satisfied with two, such as the old-fashioned Whigs and Tories, er their modern representatives, Liverals and Cen- sorvatives, we know where we are in talk- ing about them, With ourselves there is a tendency to use subtle distinctions between Liberal-Conservatives and Conservative- Liborals, but if they go on sub-dividing in France, as they have been doing, they will seon reach the ideal condition ot the radi- cals when each ‘“‘individual” becomes ‘‘a party” himself. The left has now feur div1- sions, viz., Centre, Pure, Advanced, Extreme. The right has at least three. The new Ministry is formed from the Pure and Advanced left. The Centre (which numbers 88 members in the Chambers) is wholly unrepresented. possible for the Ministry to have both the Centre and the Extreme with them, and if

either of those joins the upposition, the fate of the Government is doubtful. M. Wad- dingtou’s refusal to join itwill not conciliate the Centre.

The retuining a Liberal for Sheffiield in place of Roebuck,has given rise to as much variety of opinion as has the result of thi North Lanark election with us. In both countries we see the same phenomenon, @ach party claiming to be dolighted with the result—the victorious party because they havo won —the defeated because they have lost by so small a majority. It is

Some scientific men soy an old and discarded plan ; that the incandescence of carbon in a vaci- um when subjected to an electric current, is a fact long knewn ; but that, if there is the least increase of the current beyond a certain point, the carbon is at onee des- troyed. So that, if fifty houses were light- ed, unless as each house turned off its lights, the force of the current from the generator was proportionately decreased all tlie others would very soon be left in darkness. It certainly would makd one rather nerv- ous over his evening’s work, to feel that the continuance of his light depended upen the time when his neighbor went to bei. If this is so, cities that adopt the elecric light, must with it restore the curfew.

last evening, on the occasion of the ad-

Paul’s School-room was well journed discussion on Dr. Leeming’s able paper-—‘* The Intreduction of Christianity into Britain.” Dr. Leeming opened the discussion by replying to some objections made on the preceding evening. He was Dixon, Shaw, Davies,

Newbery, Warburton, Williams and Welsh,

ct 3 } tT asco ra followed by Messrs.

and Revds. FitzGerald and Osborne. It appears to have been admitted by ail the speakers that the Dr. had proved the fact of the introduction of Christianity at a very early period ; and the discussion last even- ing seemed to hinge chiefly upen the ques- tion of the destruction of that early Church tine and his forty monks from Rome. A large number of conflicting authorities were asserting the utter annihilation of the British Church, and others speaking of conferences heid by Augustine with British bishops several years after the ar- rival of the former, and indicating a con- siderable vitality existing in the British Church. The weight of testimony seemed to be with the latter view, but it was ad- mitted by all that the Roman finally obtained the mastery both in Eng- land, and alse in Scotland, where the British Church remained in an active state after lusing its identity in England. The discussion took a rather wide range, de- spite the efierts of the Chairman to limit it to the subject announced, and several novel theories were advanced. Dr. Leeming re- plied to some of the objections raised, and elucidated several doubtful points in his paper.

These discussions cannot fail to be of great advantage te the members of the Association, stimulating as in this instance, investigation inte portions of history, which usually do not receive much attention at the hand of the ordinary reader.
