Fin LUROPE. "The doings in the British Parli t lives of hundreds of fine horses were sacri- ficed every year, tojthe great inconvenience and heavy loss of their owners, many of whom were almost ruined by the loss. If a horse chanced to become sick, proper skill was almost out of the question, not only from the difficulty and expense in ob- taining it, but from the length of time it accupied in procuring it; so that under during the past fev days have bten of the most interesting and important nature, and fraught with future importance vot to Britain «alone but to all her dependencies in a great- erorless degree. In the first place the action of the House of Commons the other'| 1 ke , f gay went far in"the direction of 'rendering {130888 WIGRE be 'bad enoy * parliamentary elections something more than a farce by the introduction and carry- ing through its second reading tlie Ballot Bill, wish the pledge of the Government to stand oy full by the Bill, 80. that the pass- age of thi§ important measure may be egarded as a f lusi Of course the stale old stand stills who have been eo long accustomed to have every thing their own way, who regard the sons of toil as no belter than slaves, creatures raised up for the convenience and ac- vommodation of the golden' calves, animals put forward to perform the world's drudgery and to dance attendance on the idle and haughty aristocrats will make a fearful splutter ere they let go the lines. When the sons of labor happened to have a vole it was only an annoyance to them as if they did not give it in such a way as Meney- Bags desired punishment swift and sharp soon followed in the man being turhed out of his employment and his family left to starve. Under the old regime legislation and wealth were the allies of each other and both kept the sons of toil at arm's length. Now however that the ballot is about to be introduced all may vote just as they please, and the tyrants will be no wiser for it. The success of the ballot bill so far had sown thorns on the seats of the Lords, who were almost 1endered desperate at the idea of having the poor man's vote protected, and the chance of abilities and not money becoming the necessary requi- sites in candidates for the people's suffrages; and doubtless they were making up their minds how beautitully they would burk the measure once they got a hold of it.-- But a mine was sprung right in their midst and scattered them hither and thither in the most ludicrous manner. It happened on this wise: for a long time past the British army has been disgraced and the nation burdened almostto death in mam- 'taining a lot of extravagant, useless com- missioned officers whose example was decidedly injurions to the entire army.-- When the great and wealthy chanced to bave a profligate son, one whose spending roclivities were more than a match for the ather's purse, the cunning papa wonld shift Mr. Spendthrift on to the national erib by purchasing for him a commission in the army, and the nation would have te main- tain him for the rest of his life. This system was regarded as a "cryihg evil both by the rank and file of the army aud the great body of the people. As right will always prevailin the end, the British Gov- , during its present session intro- duced a bill to do away with the disgrace by abolishing the purchase system, so that promotion in future might depend on merit and not on money. This was regarded by 'a vast majority of the lords, ard by all the fossilized members of the Commons as a erfect outrage, a daring attempt to deprive oneybags of a vast moncply, and force papa to maintain his worthless scion or make him work for an honest living. The fossilized part of the commons and a vast majority of the lords made up their minde 10 resis the measure at every stage, The consequence was that, notwithstanding the Jact tnat it passed the commons by a sweep ing majority, when it went to the political Lethe it was rejected by a promi of 25 on the 19h inst. When the fact became known the fossilized commons began to warm into life and congratolate their brethern of the lords on the victory they had achieved.

If he survived this, floods of Croton oil and other lightening drauglits were administered, and these nev- er failed to accomplish the end--if the horse had sufficient vitality to withstand all these, he could not be killed, and con- sequently must recover, and if he succumb. ed, that was the end of the matter, except the Dr's bill.

That «uch 1s the case in some instances cannot for a" be qf d ; but to supp thatit takes place in a majority, or even a large minority. of cases would be-as upgen- erous as"untroe.. A large amount of this cross- firing, this mining-and counter-min- ing is attributable to a slovenly lack of ob- servation, which causes men otherwise in- telligent, and having no desire to misrepre- sent, really do misrepresent events which pass under their observation, while at the same time they have a vague notion that they are stating facts. That such is the source of a large share of the hard sweanng heard in public courts will be admitted by all who have taken any. pains to observe these things. And while such cannot for a moment be placed in the catagory of pers jury, it is not by any means to be defended, and should be carefully avoided by all who value the noble principle of truth, and wish to see our courts fulfil the noble design for which they were established --the Admin- istration of justice. 5 a ---- ! AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS, The Provincial competitive trial of Agricultural Implements referred to in our last took place according to expectation and was a capital affair. The town of Paris and neighborhood were all in com- motion from the large influx of visitors and exhibitors who crowded thither from all parts of the Province, in fact there were few if any agricultural implement or machine maker in the province whose manufactures are worth a moment's consideration who did not bring their machines there where competent judges were provided and where the relative merits of the various machines might be fairly tested and each take its rank according to superiority, and that farmers might be guided in their selection in the purchase of such implements or machines. The first trial was among single mowers, of these there were 20 entries but only 8 came to the scratch. The quantity to be cut was half an each each. From 18 to 20 minutes were taken in each cuiting its half acre, 2. e. at the rate of 40 minutes lo the acre. The 1st prize was awarded to the Cay- uga Chief Mower manufactured by Brown & Patterson, of the Whitby Agricultural Works. The 20d prize was awarded to a Buck eye manufactured by Bell & Son St. George. ' The 3rd prize was taken by the Clipper manufactured by J. Watson, Ayr. Those which competed but received no premium are Wood's Patent, manufactured by Massey of Newcastle ; an Ohio Buck. eye, by Noxon Bros., Ingersoll; Wat- son's Hummingbird ; Maxwell & White law's of Paris, Sprague Mower ; and Saw. yer's, of flamilton, Wood's Patent, ln the class single Reapers out of some 16 entries there were only 6 who brought their machines to the ground. , The 1st prize was awarded to the John ston Self Raker manufactured by Brown & Patterson, of the Whitby Agricultural Works. 20d prize the Burdick manufactured by Harris & Son, of Beamsville, 3rd The Johoston Self Raking Reaper as manufactured by Sawyer of [lamilton. 4th Wood's Patent, manufactured by Massey of Newcastle.

Here the speaker traced the progress and development of the Church throughout her earlier stag down to the commence- ment of her long sleep of 1000 years, that period of the world's history fitly styled the Dark Ages, during which long night the Church still lived, it is true, but far in the back ground. Again the speaker points to ber of the Reformation, surrounded by such meu as a Luther, a Calvin, a Knox, &ec., &ec., men of giant intellect and unflagging zeal ; men specially raised by God and endowed wiih superior gifts necessary for the propagation and rapid spread of the truth, by translating the scriptures into the several languages and dialects of the na- tions ; so that now it is published in the languages of all nations of the worid, and all may read it in their mother tongue. that noble missionary spirit whicli is now abroad. The second division of the lecture-- God's preparing the. world for the Church --was well handled, First, its geographi- cal preparation--tue discoveries of Col- umbs, a Captain Cdok, a Livingston, &ee., &c., by which every spot of the habitable Globe had been the - introduction Second, its political of . the preparation, Bible.-- by of beathen darkness have been thrown open for the reception of the light of the gospel, The speaker was at home when he came Italy, Spain and France, tracing the slow but certain advances of the word of truth into those lands of superstition, bigotry and intolerahce.

Next the Austrian defeat at Sadowa, by which that power lost Lombardy and was driven out of Germany, the Italian monarch assuming the former and Prussia assuming the latter ; and thus both conquered territories threw open their gates to the entrance of the Bible.

The Victoria Volunteer Rifles of Montreal having completed their 16 days hard drill, assembled on Thursday evening last to re- ceive their miserable allowance, $8, 1. e., 50 cts per day. The gushingly generous authorities--as if the men had not already sacrificed enough -- sought to sponge the the half of their pay by deducting $3 off each of them in payment of the band and other contingents. Had the men been silly enough to consent to this, doubtless a couple of dollars more would have been charged for rent of camp grounds, and the remaining $3 for the light of the sun and the use of the heavens for a canopy ; and thus they would have been diddled out of all their pay. This is generosity to a fault. We wonder how the aristocrats would like to be treated .inthis fashion ; how wonld they like to work for 50 cts per day and be cheated out of one half of it. And this is the great Montreal, whose municipal Council in the same week added 25 per cent to the salaries of the already well- paid officers of the corporation ; whieh ad- dition will cost the Corporation $12,000 per annum ; but a handful of brave Volunteers, to the privations and labor of the camp for. 16 days at the miserab!é pittance of 50 cents fe day, must be swindled out of one half of it. It would be well for the stingy paymas- ters of Montreal to sit down at the feet of the Council of the Corporation of the County of Ontario and take a first lesson in fair play ; in place of seeking to pick the dimes out of the pockets of our volunteers our Council added 50 per cent to their pay, and did not consider that they were getting en- ough then. Look on thie picture and on that. RE Ema THE MASONIC GRAND LODGE OF CANADA, The annual meeting of the Masonic Grand Lodge which took place at Ouawa last week was a grand affair.

The Clergyman, it appears, is pastor of Cushdenhall Presbyterizy Church, County Autrim, Irsiand, and that said church being pretty well in debt, the pastor took a trip to Scotland with a view to collecting funds to assist in paying ofl the debt ; and in order to save time and secure success, he hired cne Brown from the City of Glasgow, who, no doubt, had been on such business before, and who was in possession 'of the names and addresses of the oper.-handed in the various cities and 1owns. | In tneir rounds they called at the office of Mr. Sanderson, Quality st., Leith, when Sanderson called in a constable and had the pastor and Brown both arrested as beggars. On the following morning they were brought before BailiePentland, on the chargé of beg- ging. Brown said that he was not begging, he was only helping the pastor and eeiving a reasonable sum for his labor."
