T'o the Editor of the Examiner. I just read a pleasing account in your pars of Dr. Leeming’s lecture on ‘‘ The In- troduction of C hristianity into Britain,’ and se the discussion afterw ards,and that the disenss- ion was to be resumed next night of the As- seciation’s meeting. I, for one, will be anx- ious for-it to be again brought forward, and, perhaps, may take some humble part. Lut, Sir, is it nota pity to postpone the second part of Rev. Mr. Richey’s lecture. The first part that he gave us was admirable ; but Ido look forward with pleasure to the remaining part of it, which is, as I understand, ‘‘ What has Religion to do with these Elements of Success in Life?’ Religion, in the youthful soul, gives vigor and fruitfulness to every element caleulated to ensure true _prosperity. lt is what an anchor is to the s satety of a ship; for as a shipis held at a secure distance from the shore, notwithsta nding the continuance of the gale, so is the young man bound by Reli- gion to the practice of economy and principle by its chains, ‘‘Study to show thyself ap- proved unte God, a workman that needeth not to beashamed.” I am sure this part of

The Huntiti¢ton Scandal. The Huntington Copper and Sulphur Company, of Glasgow, who have been pur- Hon..L. S. Huntington and his as- sociate, Mr. McEwen, who succeeded in making a great deal of money out of the arene by selling them copper lands in the Kastern Townships, have come toa settlement with these gentlemen. Accord- ing r tothe Glasgow News of Dec. 22, the Yhairman of the company has issued a letter to the shareholders, which- says, among other things : “‘As six months have to elapse before. the ordinary general meeé- ing of the company takes place, the di- rectors think it right to inform the share- holders of the result of Mr. Gray’s late visit to Canada. They have much pleasure in being able to report that, after the most careful consideration, they have arranged vith Mr. Huntington for $27,500 in settlement of the claim against him —this sum to be paid in _ two years from Ist August 1879, with in- terest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, payable half-yearly. Satisfac- tory security has been given for said pay- ment Mr. Gray also arranged that a — portion of one of the its which . msidered of value to the company shouid be conveyed to it by Mr. Huntington or a further payment of $2,500 made in lieu thereof, upon the Ist of August, 188]. An arrangement has also been made with Mr, Alexander McEwen, who happened to be in Canada at the time, by which he has agreed to make annual payments of £700 sterling each—first payment on 30th April, i880—with the previso that such payment should not be made in any year in which the company should pay a dividend of or over 6 per cent. on the present paid up capital—these payments to be towards the working expenses of the company.” Other parties who had aided in floating the scheme had previeusly paid back ‘either money er stock, so that the company has recovered, on the whole, a considerable portion of the funds sv imprudently paid away. The Company is going on with such eperations aS are necessary to test the value of the preperity.—Meantime, we hear nothing of “Mr. Huntington’s libel suit against the Montreal ‘* Gazette,” which at one time had such a menacing ap- pearance.

The the Casitas

‘When Lieutenant General Sir Edward Selby Smyth returns to England from Ot- tawa, the Canadian Minister of Militia in- tends,” so the Army and Navy Gazette has been informed, ‘‘to secure, if possible, the services of Lieutenant-Colonel Lord Alex- ander Russell, C. B., now command- ing the Dover district, as General Smytl 1’s successor in command ef the Can- adian militia force, Lord Alex. Russell served for many years in Canada in com- mand of the Ist battalion Rifle Brigade, and is immeasurely popular throughout the Do- minion. Sir Edward Smyth has so thor- oughly identified himself with the forces at whose head he has been placed, that it is felt that tne new chief will have to be a popular officer, and one in whem the fullest confidence can be placed. Thus it is that Lord Alexander's name has poe mentioned, and it will be allowed, think, that the Canadians have Lifesied « a good and capable officer. Whether the Horse Guards will acquiesce in their de- sire remains to be seen. But whoever the new commander may be, it is, beyond all things, important that he shenld ba well acquainted with Canada and the Cana- dians.”’
