     anxious that the Government rty should 
     
     commit themselves, before the pu lie, by some 
     
     not at variance with established principles of 
     
     legislation and the liberslity of tie age. He 
     
     wished them, as was said in law, to raise the

     said the on. and learned gentleman, have been 
     
     very glad, had we, on this side of the Iiouse, 
     
     taken up the pro er of the Petition which I 
     
     have just present , and roposed to deal with 
     
     it in such a way as he as vainly striven to 
     
     show we are disposed to do. lie is, I dare say, 
     
     grievously disappointed in our having given no 
     
     cause of oflbnce, to no denomination, by the 
     
     course we have pursue : but he must console 
     
     himselfin the best way he can. Itwill, I think, 
     
     require more ability than be is possessed of, 
     
     to enable any one to show that, because a 
     
     member, in the discharge of his duty, presents 
     
     a Petition, baring reference to education, from, 
     
     or on behalf of, a of his constituents, 
     
     being all members of one church, even althoug 
     
     in that Petition they mi ht indicate their at-

     Some French and English ofiicers have 
     
     at last been appointed to commands in the 
     
     Turkish army, and when the campaign 
     
     fairly opens, it is quite inconceivable to us 
     
     that the Russians can achieve any thing 
     
     agnivst the allied army. If they should 
     
    

    
     eradventure force the position at Kalnfnt, 
     
     and cross the Danube, they stand the 
     
     change of being utterly cut ofI'_by an Anglo- 
     
     French army taking them in the rear. 
     
     Prince Paskiewitsch has been appointed 
     
     Generalissimo of the Russian forces, but 
     
     below will be found ii list ofa dozen French 
     
     generals with whom he will have to cope, 
     
     the least of whom will prove more t on a 
     
     match for an old Prince of 70 years of age. 
     
     Lord Region and Sir Baldwin Walker 
     
     have been to Paris to concert with the 
     
     Emperor the plan of both the military and 
     
     naval operations, and a circular of M. 
     
     Drouny de Lhuya to all the foreign French 
     
     agents abroad, commanding them to act in 
     
     concert with the English authorities against 
     
     the common enemy, gives fresh strength 
     
     to our alliance with rsnce, and must

     Greek insurrection, or rather the rebellion 
     
    
   
   
    
     Albania, is most inconvenient at 
     
    

    
     juncture. Whatever momentary success 
     
     may attend these instruments and depes 
     
     of Russia, who, by the bye, has always 
     
     abandoned them in the hour ofperil, it is 
     
     uite certain that the movement will be 
     
     speedily suppressed. Prompt measures 
     
     hone been taken from Constantinople to 
     
    
   
   
    
     needful, the French and English naval and 
     
     military forces will step in and prevent the 
     
     useless effusion of blood. he Russian 
     
     frigstes in Trieste have taken refuge in the 
     
     inner harbour, where our English frigates 
     
     watching them cannot reach them. The 
     
     speech of the Emperor of the French at tli 
     
     opening ofthe Chambers will be found in 
     
     extenson in another column. Paris, which 
     
     was threatened with disturbances a few 
     
     days ago, continues tranquil, and the 
     
     funeral of the eccentric Abbe Lammensis, 
     
     who has paid the debt or nature, took place 
     
     without any disturbance. The following

     Kong to the Ilth January, is interesting.

     sliortly follow. All the wild stories about 
     
     Khivn are repeated" by this mail, but the 
     
     real facts are precisely as we indicated 
     
     some inontlis ago. Sir Charles VVood, in 
     
     the ouse of Commons, says that some 
     
     subjects of Kokan had erected a fort within 
     
    
   
   
    
     the Sir Deria; it bo y of Russians were 
     
     despatched thither, and after destroying the 
     
     fort, returned to their quarters at Kainiak. 
     
     Writers constantly confounded the Sir Deria 
     
     (Jnxartes) with the Amou Deria (Oxus), 
     
     which runs through Kliivii, and thus per- 
     
     petually blunders arise. '1‘ e tales about 
     
     treaties between the Khans of Khiva and 
     
     Bokharn, and, still more absurdly, with 
     
    
   
   
    
     each other, and separted by frightful inac- 
     
     cesible deserts and mountains, are ofcourse 
     
     destitute of foundation. 
     
     the mud fort constructed to resist the attacks 
     
     of the wild Kirglleso, merely horsemen, 
     
     has given rise to the stupid reports repeated 
     
     during ma_ny months. The story of the 
     
     Russians constructing “ ciintonments” with- 
     
     in (too days’ ma-‘ch ofKhiva exiiibits deplo- 
     
     rable ignorance of the nature of the country. 
     
     It is all a fiction.

     he has not, at times, been made the object of,—but

     slightest degree. As ii dsriiirr resort, they have

     equal the intensity of the blindness, forgstfnlness, and 
     
     folly of partisanship, save the hatred and malice en- 
     
     gendered by political animosity. Under the influence 
     
     of these feelings. and supposing all others to be as 
     
     nnpvinciplad as themselves, they have taken it for 
     
     granted that Mr. Mellaehsn was as lax in his princi-

     'I'nn: aullior of this book was evidently a man of no 
     
     common mind, as even a very superficial examina- 
     
     tion of his work will convince those who uiny be dis- 
     
     posed to try. Not thinking ourselves competent to

     tendency ofilic work :— 
     
    

    
     " '|‘he fourth lecture is on the oneness or unity o 
     
     the cliiistiun system. l’iiisiigea of Scripture are ad- 
     
     duced, iiiiil reasons given why this unity should and 
     
     does prevail in the very extent that the spirit of chris- 
     
     liniiity obtains in the world. The hereaies, divisions, 
     
     conleiitioiis, and t|(.‘flIll0lI' that have disgraced the 
     
     ,church, are traced to the fiici that men have look . 
     
    

    
     ‘C upon but one half or side ofa doctrine, itiid that each 
     
     I party contended for the view of it that he had taken, 
     
     . without believing it possible ihiit llierc could be sno- 
     
     I that aspect which did not destroy or degrade his 
     
     ‘ favorite one, bill that would on the contrary iiiaka it, 
     
     if true, the more perfect nnd harmonious. So that 
     
     while men thought they were contending for the 
     
     truth, they were in renlity fighting ii bottle for their 
     
     ‘; own iiiabilily lo understand the whole counsel of God. 
     
     Another, and far more fertile cause of division and 
     
     contention, is assailed to be the literal, cereinoniiil, 
     
     or cnrniil eleioent which has been mixed up with reli- 
     
     ion, though not entitled to it place there, brought in 
     
     y taking that as s realiiy—ss the end aimed at- 
     
     which the spirit used but as a symbol of his deeper 
     
     meaning, which, suiting huiiisn nature in its first and 
     
     not in its second intention, was laid hold of as it stood; 
     
     and that room was thereby left for disputes, which 
     
     would not have occurred had iiien sought for the spirit 
     
     instead of the form. Another manna b which I "s 
     
     evil has been promoted is this : the spent as and other 
     
     men have consented to old ceremonies that men 
     
     loved, lest they should refuse to accept the doctrine 
     
     they were anxious to tascb—whsn they found that it 
     
     re uired them to renounce what they before held 
     
     sacred. They did this, intending. when the new doc- 
     
     trine had taken root, to eradicate the old idea; but 
     
     the old was more consanaiit with huninn nature; and 
     
     instead of the combination preparing them for the 
     
     purely spiritual, the spiritual was diluted, paralysed 
     
     hythe opposite principle; that religion, being thus

     THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC. 
     
     To the People of Prince Edward Island. 
     
    
   
   
    
     I"el|cw Countryiiicii,—It is objected that a pro- 
     
     hibitory Liquor Law would be evaded. We admit, 
     
     I at. in some instances, this would be the case; and, 
     
     are not other Laws ,also,sometimes avnded.’ There are 
     
     in society, individuals so reckless of cons uancbi, as 
     
     to be restrained by no enactments, and t ey some- 
     
     times succeed in escaping with impnnit . But we 
     
     know many new engs ed in the Liquor 'Irafic, who, 
     
     were a Prohibitory I.nw passed,would not, for a 
     
     moment, think of continuing to sell the Intoxicnting 
     
     Fluid. A few instances of detection of offenders, 
     
     and of vigorous infliction of the penalty of the Law, 
     
     would, in a great measure, extinguish the inqiuitous 
     
     traffic. We are not to harbor the praaumptioii, that 
     
     a Law, constitutionally enacted, ma not bssnforcad.

     the community do nothing to rescue these persons 
     
     from impendin ruin? Will the moderate drinker 
     
     if "I have ong taken my regular glass and have

     that Ishoul become inteinpernts and let others

     ofthe spirit murderous brain, and very little of the 
     
     temper of him, who though he was rich for our sakes 
     
     became poor, that we through his poverty might 
     
     become rich, very little of the spirit of the great

     A ptohihitery law is not a nieiisura of doubtful 
     
     experiment. is salutary effects have been made 
     
     apparent by trial where it has been adopted. " I"iva

     the New York Senate, "grcanin under the sania

     system of regulation by licence, and adopted one of

     with suitable sanctions. The first State which made 
     
     the change was the State of Mains, which adopted 
     
     ll law of entire prohibition in June, i85l. To her 
     
     have succeeded the 
     
     chnsetts, Vermont and Michigan, and the territory of 
     
     Minnesota. Iii sotne of tliasa the execution of the
