OUR BANKING INSTITU YIONS, h As always most panfal 16 refer to any derangement in the afliios of our o Baking Cwsttatione--for it matters hile what may have been tle cance of h: de- rangement--whether from fraud, from reck- less speculation, from negligence, or from incapacity of its officials ; the naked fact is all that i is taken into account by the vast majority of the community, and a cor- Tesponding dread of the stability of all simi- lar institutions sets in.. We referred in our last week's issue to a catastrophe of this nature, viz: the suspension of specie pay- ments by one of the oldest and best known banking institutions in our land--the Bank of Upper Canada. A very large majority of our people never think of inquiring; in fact they do not seem to care anything about the agencies that have brought about the suspepsion--all that they seem to care about knowing is the fact that ono bank has failed to meet its obligations--and, say they, if one has done, 80, what guarantee have we thatoihers may not pursue a simi- Tar course. The inference is much more natural than legitimate. We have preny sure guaranters that under ordinary cir- 'cumstances a similar occurrence is not likely soon to take plice-- we have the un- impeachable honor and mtegrity of the con- ductors of onr' various banking institutions --we have (he excellent conditions npon which granted - and we uve the protection of the the various charters have been first law in nature "sell-preservaiion," as, an the event of a bank. gewing into difficul- tiew, the Stockholders. must uot only lose 'their Stock, but, in most eases; they most lose an additional sum equal to' thew 'sub- +by some, why'in thoifae of all these: 'goar- antes ha it 45 happend ht the Bank re- feted to his' dnapended | payment.

This with a series of very heavy losses -- the magnificent salaries | given to their officials, and several other circumstances over which she had almost no control, combined to eripple the ener- gies of a once powerful wstitation: So far indeed was she reduced that her shares were sold at 60 cents per dollat--and then at 40 cents." The Government withdrew its account from this Bank and gave it to the Bank of Montreal, so did the Grand Trunk Railway, und lately the Great Western Railway 100k its account from this Bank and gave it to the Commercial Bank, Thus no dividend declared, and the stock was And while in this tottering gasping condition she ap- plied to her old friend ¢ the Government' for aid and got $50,000, she asked 50,000 more and was refused. She then called in the aid of her sister Banks, and they too re- fused to listen. Then her powerful rival the Bank of Montreal--who had already deprived her of her two best friends, the Government and the Grand Trunk--gave her. the uukindest cut of all by throwing ther paper out of doors and refusing 10 have any her. This bronght the mslitution toa complete stand, and nothing more was necessary than merely to shove her over, and this was most effectually accomplished by the hold- ors of her paper who rushed th her doois with such an exhaustive demand as very soon forced her to acknowledge her pros- tration and seek shelter behind her iron doors. After all there is no cause why her creditors,--at least her dopusitots, and the holders of her bills--should at all feel alarmed. The Bank would be abundantly solvent now, and would be prepared to pay cash for every cent that she owes, and have a handsome amount over, if her capital could only. be made available. She pos- sesses $46 in capital for every $27 ehe owes. But unfortunately a large portion of it is bound up in Real Estate, and will re- quire a considerable time to convert it into eash. So that the only inconvenience that the creditors are likely to experience in the matter will be the delay necessary in con- verting the capital into available means, so as to meet her obligations. And even in the event of au large portion of her assets proving worthless -- even then there would be no necessity for any vneasiness on that head, as the stockholders are bound by their churter pay over even to double | the amouut of their subscribed stock unul the last cent of her obligations has been paid off. So that any pame in the matter ws quite uncalled for and can serve no othe' purpose than to make mallers worse.-- Some have really becu so loohish as 10 com- mence a tan upon other 1msiitutions 3 but, finding these abundantly prepared 10 meet all demands, they lave felt ashamed of ther folly and let matters ship alonganrheir uxnal course, Our monetary institutions are certainly in_a good position, and on a firm foundation. It cannot be denied that money has been rather sniingent of late, but this anses more (rom a commercial trick, than {from any scarcity of funds. Qur govern- ment being, as usual, hard up and must have cash,offered the country two conditions by one of which the funds must be iaised. The one was by the sale of Debentures, the other by the issue of legal tender notes. The Bank of Montreal, holding the govern- ment accounts, perceived at once that the legal tender notes would be most profitable for her, and, gly, di i her most powerful influence against the Debentures, by shutting down through all her branches ~--the other Banks being, toa certain extent compelled to pursue a similar course--a stringency has arisen in the money market, which has created some alarm, caused a vast t of inconv to men, and no smal amount of injury to the business ol the country. We need not get nervous about it however, money will soon become more easy. Aud il.is to be hoped that our g t, in place of more than 1 earns-- of running into debt ~ and of taking its periodical begging ovr, will so conduct its affuire as to live within ite ineome, and suave usthe humiliation of a similar exhibinen of moneyocracy. Not- with&tanding the present strain on money, there is no cause for alarm~ money will soon begin to flow with itgaccusiomed {ee- dom.

RE > CHURCH DEDICATION. The Dedicatory services in connection with the New Wesleyan chapel, Greenbank took place on Sabbath, 23cd inst. In con- sequence of the unavoidable absence of the Rev. J. C. Slater, who was expected to officiate in the afiernoon, the Rev. G. Cocliran preached in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Our Greenbank friends had really a pleasant and profitable time of it. Their neat little chapel, was packed to the very doors--and ut least onie hundred both morning, and afternoon, (we were not pre- sent in the evening) vainly sought to gain admittance. However aider reigned throughout all--there was nothing approach- ing to confusion. The subject chosen for the morning's discourse was the lst clause of the 9b v. of the lst oc. of Ezekiel--and so well did the =peaker haudle his sutj ct that he held his large congregation spel In tact one could almost imagine that he heard boand for the larger portion of au hour. the rippling of the water, and saw the beau- Aglul, shining, silvery, thread spreading and diffusing self until 1 became'a mighty gyer, with its velvet banks adotned with those peculiar trees. While the 'mind was held to the contemplation of the blessed influences of a similar diffusion of the gentle stream of gospel truth which should emen- ate from the altar of their new chapel. The Uxbridge choir gave their services on the occassion and by their excellent music add- ed very much to the interest of the services. We could not get even standing room in the fi and ly had to leave. The congratulatory part of the proceed- ings, if we may so term it, took place on Monday. up on tables fitted up outside the church. After having partaken of an excellent tea we entered the church for the purpose of having our i In the first place tea was served tellectual cravings satisfied Geo. Curmi, Esq., of this place, being. called to the chair, said that the 'meeting had made a rather unfortunate selection as -he WB not sufficiently acquaiuted with: the that it would have been; better had they chosen one of their Greenbank friends to fill that postion. However, he did not consider that there would be any difficulty wn managing the audience aud he would sea that the speakers were kept in order, He felt that the meeting bad con: ferred an honor on him by placing him in that position--and be would discharge his duties tothe best of hus ability--and in order to make a beginning he would call upon the choir. The lev. Mr. Gee, W. M., was then called. He apologized and resumed bis seat. After another piece from the: ehoir The Rev, Mr. CocHRAN was called. He raul that he hoped, the cuairman would allow him 1o take his own couse. If he happened to stray too far he might remind him of his duty --and he would beg to state that if anything he might advance should seem to fit too closely to any one present, that it must not be attributed to malice alorethonght, as he was totally unacquaint~ ed with the audience. He said that what he intended 10 say ould not be dignified by the name of lecture--neither conld he call itn address--he believed that the, Serm | free conversation would perhaps approach ne] mind by the: vat) of a rather singular book which he had met with at one time.-- He sand i wag a subject very well suited lo ea 5 viz: "Tulkers and Talking." The or wet out by saying that he hail no inten ion of going over the whole ground --he would not enter the field of rhetoric, or logic ; neither would he attempt to speak of the philosophy of language. H+ said the power of apsech was a noble gifi, bestowed upon us by our creator to enable us 10 give utterance to our ideas, to give expression to our thoughts--to speak words of comfort and instruction to our neighbor, and higher and nobler stillto sound our maker's praire. What, he would ask, would such a meeting as the present be without this gift, deprived as we would be of the sweet interchange of sentiments and "the ol 2 y of music. He would in the first place speak of wicked talkers. 'Those: he' said were wicked talkers who so far profaned that noble gift as'to 'blasptieme the name of its bestower. He cold conggive of no sin more to be lamented, and with4ess tempia- tion to 118 practice' than that of profanity. While it shows the féarful state of the mind of the individual it annoys every right mind- ed person upon whose ear it chances to fall. If, said he, we heard some one talking disrespectfully of one whom we esteem- ed; would we not interfere, would we' wot feel inclined to resentit--and must not the heart of every christian be pained and grieved to hear the name of him whom their woul loveth thus profaned. The speak- er related an instance of a lady who was much annoyed by a swearing lellow travel- ler. The lady could not bear to hear it, and asked the young man if Le could speak Gaelic? The young swearer spread himseif out, and replied that he could. Well, suid the lady, if you wish swear any more, please do itin Gaelic, as 1 don't understand that language, and it won't annoy me so.' The young mau swore no more, in her pre- sence. Hs related anoth.r of Rolland Hii ywho chanced one day to be aboard a ship where the Capmin and Mate seemed anxious 1) wee who coull Uo the greatest amount of Rol and on the first opportaniy stepped in between them saying, me ng you have sworn eneugh, it 1s my tain swearing, 'sentie- to swear now' --¢agreed? said the captain, ¢ go on »ir," Rolland made no reply * come,' says the mate, ¢ why don't you swear ?? | am just wailing said Rolland, ull 1 find something worth swearing about. This cured hus two friends at least for that wip. Let us said the speaker go aud do likewise --let us too frown down that most wicked, and useless practice. He would in the second place speak of a class of talkers that were designated by a single word ¢slander- ers." These, said he, are the eappersand miners of Beeizebub's army, and their pre- sence should never be tolerated in society. How cruel, wicked, and cowardly it 'is Lo stab a man's reputation 10 his absence, He would say let us speak swell of onr neighbor if we can--if we cannot let us say nothing except where we know it will do him good. Let us all be prepared when the scandal pedler comes along wiih his budget of scandal, and. begins to display his wares, give him such a taste of that angry coun- tenance spoken of in seriplure, as driving away a backbiting tongue. This will make him at once pack vp bis budget and leave. The speaker illustrated the prneiple by' Lyman Beecher and the supposed hare. He next went on to speak of careless talkers -- showing how easy it is to acquire the habit, but how difficult 10 get rid of it. As an illustration he related the anecdote of the servant girl No. 1, tell- ing girl No. 2, that the bailiff will be at No. 1 to-morrow. No. 2 told No. 3 that there is quite a fuss at No. 1--the bailiff 1s to te there to-morrow. No. 3 told No. 4 that No. 1 must be going to the dogs as the officers of justice are to be there to-morrow --and by the time it got to No. 30, it was said that the husband of No. 1 had killed his wife--the eriminal officers were upon his track,and it was expected that he would be caught to-morrow. He next described the vice of hyperbolical talkers or those who stretch the truth, He illustrated 'his position by relating an anecdote of a preach- er who had acquired that very bad habit, being cautioned from time to time by his brethren but all 'to mo purpose. He was finally brought up belore the authorities of the charch and solemnly cautioned and ad- monished. The erring brother acknow- ledged his weakness--said he had striven agamnst it with all his might, agdhe had often wept barrels of tears ove ify The speaker went an to inviegh against the weakness and folly of the vice. Again il- lustrating his position by an anecdete of a rev. old geutleman, who one day got mounted on a poor old nag--a rather shag specimen of the genus horse. He met two would-be wits by the way. They firrt eyed the old gentlemen all over and then his horse--when one of them said ¢ well, sir, vou are sp'endidly mounted." Not very well, replied the clergyman, "0 yes! raid the wit, thats an elegant. animal you ride." Not overly elegant veplied the clergyman. " Why," says the wit "4 what makes him wag his tail 80?" Ab, says the cleraman just that which makes yoo wag yonr tougue--weakness--weakness, The speaker remarked that he had now dwelt sufficiently upon the abuse of the gilt, he would now make a few remarks upon its legitimate use. Hg would remark that without the purifying influences of ile spirit of all grace, the highest and noblest | e use of the gift of speech cannot be attained. When the Israelites came to the fountain of bitter water, so bitter ihat they could not drink--they were commanded to cast salt into it--~they did so aud it became sweel-- soit is with all the powers of our bodies and the facultips, of our minds--they must be : m.

Itseizes those winged words crystalizes them, as it were, re- modles them --marshals them in order, and sends them forth into the world, fixed and hable again to be "taken up'by 'man and given forth to the world by the living voice. The lecture was well delivered and well received. . Alter the choir had executed another piece. The Rev. Mr. PaTERsoN, was called. He dwelt at some length on the various requisites fora good meeting and a liealthy prosperous church. We are sorry that our space prevents us rom giving a report of his address. The choir was again called npon and was followed by , Rev. Mr. Macartaur. © He followed up the previous speakers with some exceetl- ingly well timed remarks. After the choir. Rev. Mr. Suitn, bejng called, said that it was so near the hoor fixed lorhaving tea, he would not think of Qiving any adress, He congratulated ali parties present onthe success attending the undertaking. The hour having amved for tea (5 o'clock) the greater portion went to take ten, but ttme forbidding, we had 10 make for home, We would we have that Ux- bridge choir, and always with feelings ef pleasure and here the just remark often listened 10 satislaction=but wpan no tormer occassion did we ever: hear that choir perform go well as they did on Monday --in fact,they more than sustained their well mented reputation. Our Greenbank friends were exceedingly fortunate in securing the services of so efficient a choir, The tea and its surroundings were all that could be dgsire.l, we did not learn how many partook of it. There was.a large number at dinner time--we were not there nthe evening. The chapel is a neat little building 28 x 36 and furnishes an abundance of accommoda-- tion for 126 people. The ¢o-t of the building including gratui- tous services will be in the neighborhood of $800. The collections on Sabbath amounted to about $33. re mt A---- EXCURSION ON LAKE MUSKOKA. (From a. Correspondent.) Purenant to advertisement, a party of about forty excurtionists fiom the different towns on Lake Simcoe, and from Orillia, availed themselves of the oj) portunity to visit the Muskoka teritory, Arfiving at Orillia on the afternow of Thursday, the 131h inst. they procecded per steamer Jda Burton 10 Washago at the foot of Lake Coucliching where they took teams for Cravenhurst, the pot of egbarkation on Lake Muskoka -- arriving there that evening. In the morn- ing all started for the wharf, and by 7 o'clock the fine steamer Wenonah, the pro- perty of A. P. Cockburn, Eeq., moved from the wharf to make the tour of the Lake. Shortly after leaving the dock, dancing commenced, and lasted throughout the day. The scenery of this Lake is really worth the trip to see it. It is dotted with Islands, of varicus sizes ;but the view on the river Muskoka, is really magnificient. On either bank are several clearings, a number of English gentlemen with their families have settled there. Arriving at Muskoka Falls, all went ashore to visit them-- here 18 quite a village. 'The Messrs. Thompson of Pene- tangushene, have a store, Post Office, and Grist, and Saw Mills here--and find plenty to do. There is #lsa a well conducted hotel --of the Falls much cannot be said, as {he water was at a low' ebb. Alter a delay of hall an hour the boat made a start-for the lake again, and then across to Rossean river, and up it to an Indian Village, and retorned to Cravenhuret. Everv one. ap- peared delighted with the trip and the anner in which they had been treated on board the steamer. Mr. Cockburn was un- ting in his eflorts to make the tip an agreeable one to all... The only thing that detracted {rom the Pleasures of the occasion was the continual rain." Before landing at Cravenhirat, the parsengsia assembled in the cabin and Mr. Alport uf Muskoka hav« ing been requested to take the' chair, the Ye asset gore: A.
