BENJ. DESBRISAY. July 23.—2w Jaw )April, 1883, the following results for the) , town. —_— —- ——--se0ee—— —--- _ -— France and Germany. The following is the text of the article which it is said Prince Bismarck had in- sertedin his organ, the North German | Gazette, as a warning to the French press to be more moderate :— ‘‘In the German Empire it is but seldom ‘and generally in a passing and superticial _ way, that notice is taken of the incessant war waged by French organs of all parties against their German neighbor—a war con- tinued under varied forms and from the most diverse motives, and characterized as much by violence as by want of propriety. ‘Owing to the coolness of the Germans in political matters, their national suscept- ibilities have hitherto been but slightly | roused by these attacks. They have some difficulty in understanding the feeling which dictates a tempest of insults and rovocations, joined in by the whole Trend press at intervals of a few months, at all events, so far as we have been able to judge. Nevertheless, from time to time it is perhaps opportune, if only for the sake | of peace, to consider the impression which these attacks, renewed with ever increasing violence, are likely to produce. ‘‘That impressio:, as regards all cool- minded observers even in France, if there are still any, is that France by the viclence jof the apostles of revenge, and the response ‘made to it, both among their own country- men and among the agitators of Alsace- Lorraine, appears to be the only state which constantly threatens the peace of Europe. This fact admitted, one necessar- ily arrives at the conviction that such a state of things cannot last without jeopard- ising peace, which is the aim of all serious politicians. For the higher the tide of passion among those who never weary of | provoking pertidious agitation with various objects, the more difficult it is to foresre whether and how long these passions may be restrained within the limits of inter- national peace, Here we may quote the adage as to drawing the devil on the wall.” The leading European journals have, of course, had their own word to say regard- ing this event. The German article is ;much too sweeping and resentful, a burst of German wrath long restrained. But all the same the warning is not unneeded and ‘has not been given in vain. The Times | does not hesitate to say, ‘‘It ought to ‘convince the French people that their little expeditions up and down the world ‘do not add in the smallest degree to their ‘consideration and influence in Europe. It not necessary to adopt any pariiculary \. is ‘theory of the origin of the remarks of the German semi-official journal. It is sufficient \that they have been made, and are of a jeven under the influence of irritation, to a power regarded as formidable. That is the should consider.” In the end the French Republic will find quite as much at home to do as will Occupy al] the time, attewtion, cent. which was declared... The directors and officers elected are as follows:— Direc- tors—John L. Harris, C. B. Reeord, John A. Humphrey, M.P.P., Josiah Wood, M. P., Geo. W. Chandler, J. C. Lamb, John B. Elliott.

Sensational statements are being made as to the reason why Lord Chief Justice Coleridge will not visit Canada to the effect that both he and the British Goverament are afraid of his life being attempted by Irish assassins. It is said that special officers of the British Government stationed in the United States, have reported to that effect. O'Donovan Rosso, and his gang have beex making threats and it was thought that Canada would be chosen as the scene of their execution should the Lord Chief Justice cross over. They do not dare to carry out such threat in the United States, whose guest the Lord Chief Justice now is, The British sparrow has found ont by this time that‘‘there is no place like home.” Wherever he has roamed away from his native isle, although received with open arms aud smiling faces on his arrival, he has speedily outstayed his welcome. Throughout the United States he is de- nounced as a destructive villian, and now he has fallen into evil odour in the Ber- mudas. He was imported into the Island on the strength of his reputation as a worm- destroyer. But he entertained a strong antipathy to the birds which had soared in the skies and chirped in the trees of the Summer Isles before him, and so he drove them out. Now the Bermudan Legislature is petitioned to exterminate him in turn. The Bermudans have been unfortunate with their birds. It is not long since the Governinent was paying a shilling a head for the destruction of crows, which had been imported to act as scavengers, but preferred eating the grain. The United General Conference of the Methodist Church held its second session on the 6th inst., at Belleville. A com- mittee was ordered to be appointed to prepare for the celebration of the centenary year 1884 of the organization of the Methodist Episcopal Church in America; also a committee to make arrangements for the ecumenical conference to be held in 1887. Committees were appointed on rules of order, discipline, missions, general superintendency, publishing interests and education work. A committee was appoint- ed to draft an address to the Governor- General, the Marquis of Lansdowne: also to prepare the official records of the four con- tracting bodies, to be engrossed, A notice of motion was also made for the extension of the ministerial term of five years. Various memorials were presented to the respective committees. A notice of motion was given that the name “united church” be the ‘‘Methodist Church of Canada.” | The chairman and secretarys of committees A Building Lot, 75 feet Square, on Orlebar, kind which would hardly be addressed, | were reported as appuinted. The repert of ithe committees on rules of order was pre- sented and adopted and certain members acres each) in the Eastern Royalty of Char- point which it seems to us Frenchmen were granted leave of absence for a few ,days.
