DOMINION PARLIAMENT, Few deliberative bodies ever occupied a position of more im portance than that occu- pied by the Dominion Parliament during the past week, while their action on the Treaty question was being closely scanned by wo continents both being interested Apectators. The question was one of no ordinary importance, large interests were at stake ; and the part Canada had to play was one of more than ordinary intricacy. Britain through the infernal cecvetousness and treachery of a few of her' sharks of the Laird breed who built privateers in British por's and sold them to the enemies of the United States which vessels created. great devastation amongst American merchant- men and thus causing learful loss and dam- nge to the mercantile interests of that coup- try. The Staies held Britain responsible' for this ddmage, and from {hat time regard ed her with feelings of suspicion and ani- mosity. The British nation with a fiank- ness and candor worthy of her looked dis- passionately into the charges preferred sgainst her by the Mates ; and, though vn- concious of having committed a breach of international law, found that the proper officers bad been a little lax in the per- formanee of their duties otherwise the no- turious Alabama could never have got to sea. Like noble Britons they neither sought to snilt the responsiblity nor shirk the consequences, but came nobly forward aking what damage had been dcne and offering to make it good, and would will- ingly pay anything within reason rather than have any more whining over it ; and proposed to leave the matter to arbitration. With a view to making preliminary ar- rangements a commission met at Washing- ton on purpose of enterieg into a treaty for the satisfactory arrangement of the difficulty hie Yankees with their accustomed cute- ness sought to drive as good a bargain as possible, and knowing more of the value of the Canadian Fisheries than the British did they very conningly slid them into the treuly and with them the free navigation of Canadian waters ; muking these two a sine qua von to an amicable arrangemen; al the difficulty. , « Britain having little to fear on her own account, end knowing that Canada should » be the chief sufferer in a ropture between Britain and the States, and knowing also hat so long as the preseut connection con- tinuen between Britain and Canada, that Canada will ocenpy he post of danger, sought even here to biing the matter to a successful issue by giving their consent 'to the free participation, by the States, in the Canadian Fisheries, if the Canadians were willing on their part that it should be so, but should Canada object to it Britain woul! not urge it, and so far from enforcing it . against the will of Canadians she would ' bring the whole sirength of the empire to back the Canadians in the defence eof their fisheries should they refuse to give them up ; but Brita'n knowing that such a strug- gle would cost Canada more than a thou- sand fivheries, and not wishing that she elionld risk the stake advisod her to con- sent lo shave her fishenes with the Ameri- carts. As if she had said I have nothing to fear should it come to the worst, my home is invulnerable, the Yankees may in- flict a wound on my commerce, but what- ever damage they do to nie I can do' them * & thousand told more ; but your ternfory is exposed 10 their ravages and it will be the | battlefield in case of a dispute, and if youwll "be advised by me avoid the contingency and accept the conditions for your own. sake i * not for mine. But if you are unwilling to consent other arrangements wil) have to be made for 1 canoot think of having you ex. posed any longer to danger and devastation .on my account, as if you covsider that you - ¢an get along without my-advice the eorner ! ify responsibilities thé position in which came before the hen stripped of all surroundings, while onsence of our rights being y being betrayed and all roth ; nothing of the kind nor any attempt made to do it, wor(l's ew the: Dominion Parlininent was ut hbernty either 10 adopt or reject-he fishery clauses, as much s0 8 they were to paes or reject any other measure which hae come before theron during ihe session, and those who voted for the ratification of the Treaty were equally free to voto for its rejection had they considered it best to do so ; and certainly had they rejected the clausss entirely it would have &hown considerable pluck, but whether, under the circumstances, it would have displayed much 'wisdom may be fairly questioned unless they were prepared to take the consequences and tell Britain to miud her own business. - : etl l-- ee FROM EUROPE. Matters on the European Continent ap- pear to glide smoothly along if we exoepf France and Spain, both of which countries may be filly represented as a house devided against iteedf. In Spain we have two mock kings contending for the regal bauble and seeking to attain their end by slavghtering the people. The Fiench surrenderers are striving to secure their illgotten power by a similar process. : BRITAIN. In Britain the now famous many sided Washington Treaty is the almost exclusive subject of interest or discussion either with- in or without the walls of parliament House and the eyes of the entire British nation are turned towasds America eagerly watching the action of the United States Senate in dealing with the additional clause which is looked forward to asa means of escape to both natto 1s. . To Britain as a means of es- cape from the effects of the consumate blun- dering she made in aflixing her eeal to a document so loosely oot up that the Yank- ees sought to drive a whole fleet through it. To America as a means of slipping softly down {rom the somewhat blustering, blowing height to which they bad raise.l themselves atthe idea of making Jonny Bull empty his pocket iuto the Yankee Treasury. ~ They are like a couple of overgrown boys Jonathan was blustering around, counting Jonny's buttons, stripping off 'and tucking up his sleever, shaking his fist, and follow- ing Jouny into a corner while Jonny. kept telling him that he did not want to fight ; but when followed up a little too closely Jonny began to uvnbutton and Jonathan deeming discretion the betéy part of valor began judiciously to back down on a sup- plemental attizle. We shall see how this saving clause will eflect the arrangement. ---- -- THE VILLAGE OF CANNINGTON, TOWNSUIP OF BROCK, We bad the pleasure of a somewhat protracted [several hours| visit to Can-- nington during the latter part of last week. and though our previous visit was of re- cent date we were much gratified and not a little surprised at the very many addi: tional signs of stability and progress which every where met the eye, as well from the increased rush of trade from the surrounds ing country, the additional number of business places with extensive and superior stocks of goods of every description, of fering greatly increased facilities for transacting business wi'b the surrounding country. Considerable additions are being made to the number of active busi. ness men of this thriving village ; while commodious and substantial stores and handsome residences are springing up in every direction, giving a life end anima tion to the village which is highly cheering and which promise ere long to place Can. ninglon amongst the most handsome vil- lages in the Province. The magnificent brick block consisting of three fine build- ings, and just finished, owned by Mr, Brandon, Mr. Marsh, and Mr. Smith, would be a credit to any city or town in the Province. Several other superior buildings are hastening to completion while many more are just being com- aenced. There is ope thing very much required however which appears 10 be overlooked in the hurry of greater pur- suits, we refer to suitable side walks. It 1s true that the undertaking is far from being costly and for that reason overlooked by many as of little consequence, but this is a sad mistake, for there could scarcely be a more profi'able investment--if cleau- liness and comfort go for anything--than that laid out on side walks, aud the work should not be delayed a single day. Bu much as we are pleased to see comfortable dwellings and suitable stores rapidly in- ereasing in numbers (hese can only be regarded as the fruit and not the seeds ot progress ; and in order to judgé intelli- gently of the future of a village or a town we must enquire what art is doing and what nature has done for it. In these too, this prosperous village will bear in- vestigation. Not to speak of the famous Toronto and Nipissiog Railway which bas rendered the term "Back Country' absolutely meaningless as far as Cannington 1s concerned and. which is giving the village an onward Hud upward impetus which connot fail to be highly gratifying to all who watch the result. But in the absence of internal manufactures even the iron-horse is incapable of secur-- ing a prosperity sufficient to give stability toa village or town. In this too the friends of Cannington may point with satisfaction to the rapid increase in their facturiog establishment Woolen Mills, Wearing Factories, Tanneries, Cabinet Factory, Carriage Factories, Flouring aud Grist Mills, and numerous other industries ; to these have lately been added Planing - Mills, Door,] Sash and Shingle Factorieg; and an excellent Saw Mill. Mr. 'Chambers' Playing Mills end door and sash Factory is situated east of the English Church. Mr, Cox. ing Mill, sash; frame und door Iactory is another excellent estab-- lishment situated near the centre of the village ; while Mr. Cowan's new Saw Mill cannot fail in proving of great ad. vantage io supplying a material «0 much required in this rapidly advancing' loeality. While art has done much and will yet do vastly more for this prosperous locality, pature has not been stinted in her gifts 'whether as to the fertility of soil or in her facilities for manufactures. A large track of fertile land surrounds and supplies the village, whi'e the dark but industrious Beaver River slips around its borders and offers facilities for manufactures such as are enjoyed by but few villages. | ad AMENDMENTS TO THE AGRICUL- TURAL ACT, The Amendments to the agricultural and Arts Act passed and assented to during the present year by the parliament of Ontario are neither numerous nor important. By the late Act Electoral Division Socie- ties might hold their annual meeting any time during the third week in January wn each aud every year. By the Amended Act the annual meeting must take place on the third Wednesday of Januarg in eacn and every year. The annual meeting of township socie- ties have not been interfered wub ; they may still be held any time during the sec- ond week of January in each year. : By the late Act the membership of any county or township soceiely might be resi- dents of other municipalities than that which such society represents, but the of- fice-bearers must - all be residents of the Couuty or Township as the case may be. Bntin the amended act while as in the former act the members may be 1esidents of another county or township*from that which the society represents, it 1s-only nec- eseary that a majority of the office bearers be residents of the same county or lown- ship which the society represents. Sec. 10 of the amended act forbids horse racing within five miles of the place where any Electoral Division Society is holding its annval show or during any part of any day which an Electoral Divielon Society has apnointed to hold an agricultural show. No horse racing may be held within five miles of such shew grounds during many portion of suck day or days under a penalty not to exceed §50. These are the only amendments --we should gay alterations--of any consequence. Clauses which really stood in need of amendment were allowed to slida. a ASHERY BURNED. In passing from Manilla on Saturday evenirg last we fonud the Ashery North of he Riyal Oak Hotel all in a bleze, and a few parties, men and women, standing watching the progress of the flames, but unable to do anything to arrest them The 'roof liad fallen in belore we came forward and the long, black, buining spars presernt- ed a rather melancholy appearance. We learned from the panty who had charge of the ashery that he had gone to supper leav- ing everything right and wnthin hall an hoor theralter he 1etwined and found the building in a blaze avd beyond being saved. Mi. Jonn McLean, the proprietor, will lose come five or six hundred dollars by the fire; everything was completely destroyed, No insurance® EEE ed . THE CASE OF THK REV. MR, WINDELIL., Nearly two years ago the Oatario Pres- bytery of the Canada Presbyterian Chuyeh, took npon themselves to cut Rev. Mr. Win- dell off from being a Minister of eaid Chureh." Such a proceeding in the abser.ce of any 1eal charge was regarded by Mr. Windell and his congregativn as at variance with every priaeiple of right and justice, as an act of uncalled for pesection towards Mr. Windell and an impioper interference i congregation ; lhe consequence appeal was made, by |etution, ynod against' the high handed ac- tion of the Presbytery. In conseqience ol this appeal a commission was appoiuted by the Synod consisling of Rev, Dr, Topp as Convenor, and six others, Miuisiera and laymen, whose duty 11 was 10 meet the par- ties concerned at Prince Albert, on the 15th inat., and there to confiim or reverse the sentence of ihe Presbytery. As early as eight o'clock of the morning of the 15th, parties began to assemble, men. women and children, all deeply interested in the issue of the. investigation. The Presbytery too were early on hand some of theggn looking as fierce as a meal axe, while the ciowds hurrying to the church showed the lively interest which was being taken in the matter. The Commission however did not arrive till nearly noon, and parties were becoming impatient. When the Commissionars arrived buei- ness was at once commenced and the Presbytery handed in an excerpt of their minutes wrought up into eet pleadings in bebalf of the Presbytery. The Commis- sion refueed to receive the document ae avidence, or for any other purpose than simp'y as pleadings. To this ihe Preeby- tery demurred but the Commission were not to be duven, they said that if said docu- ment were an exact copy of the minutes 1 could be received otherwise it cond not. -- It being one o'clock the Couit rose for dinner. The Court re-assembled at 2 o'clock, the Convener opened proceedings by prayer. Minutes of forenoon's proceedings read and spproved. The Rev. Mr. Smith urged the Commis- sion to receive 'their (the Prosbytery's) document. > The Convener said that it could not be received in any other way than part of the pleadings of the Presbytery unless it were an abstract of Minutes. * Mr. Smith eaid that the Commission had received a paper exactly of asimilar nature and why refuse this ? The Convener informed the Presbytery that the Commission would hear nem: when the proper time came, but in the mean time the Conn would conduct its own business, aud he hoped that neitter the Presbytery nor Mr. Windell would obstruct proceedings. Here a considerable con- fusion arose regarding the the documents, part of the. Commission being in favor and part opposed to receiving them. Mr. Windell protested against receiving anything further than the minutes. Mr. McMurrick said that the document in queatidn could not be received by this Court, as il it were opposing parties might demand first to have copies to which they had a perfect nght. After considerable more confusion the doeiiment was received as the pleadings of he Presbytery, and upon the assertion of the Clerk of the Pioebytery that tne extracts of tii minutes resented contained nothing but the psissima. verba of the minutes, the ex- tracts wera allowed to be read bearing on the matter in question. The Clerk of the Presbytery now pro- commencing with the 25th of June, '1870. Having got through the extracts with con- ceeded to-read the minutes of Presbylesy, | gopg siderable difficulty ; Professor Cavana re- marked that the information wanted by the Court had not been given and he wanted to bear from still earlier minutes, . The min- utes of July 31, 1869, were taken vp. A Sossiderabie bitch appeared 1n the minutes ere. Alter getting throngh" the. minutes the Corfvener called on Mr. Windell quested him to be brief. ; Mr. Windell eaid he had no desire to take up the time of the Court. He first 'relarred to the informality of the proceedings of the Presbytery against him, and clearly showed the animus of some of its members towards him and his congregation. Ha (Windell) knew nothing of his being cut off from the church until he saw it in t ecord that his church was to be preached vacant. -Mr. Windell denied the correctness of the minute which stated that he had by his own act cut himself ofl from the church or that he had declared himse!f no longer connected wich it. In corroboration of this statement he.réad the declaration of parties who were present. -- He had not wished any diffienlty with the Presbytery, and as proot of this he referred to tis meeting with Mr. Thom aud egree- ing with him as to their preachicg within the: limite of each othei's charge. The agreement was entered into in presence of membera of both charges yet Mr. Thom did uot stand by his agreement, and the Pres- bytery had backed him up in his course, After fully exp!muing the reasons and import of his and his cungregation's asking 10 be cut off trom connection with the pres- bytery, he said that he and they had been unfairly treated by the presbytery and that certain members of presbytery had shown a disposition towhrds him and his congre- gation far from 'becoming Christian men and ministers ol the Gospel; but all he asked now was to be laitlytreated. If twen- ty five years faithlnl service in the church and cause of Chiist is of any account, if 1 am still worthy of being a minister of the Gospel of Christ, if | have done nothing to bring discredit on the eause, if [ have done my best to [rrward the interests of my paople I wish to be placed right befure the church and before the woild, The contin- ved applanse wliich grested these remarks prevented us [rom hearing him oul. The presbytery w.% now called vpon to present their cace aid they delegated Mr. Thom 10 read their pleadings. . The document was a lor:g one, abounded in epreial pleadings and gave abundam evidence of a determination to gain the case. The head and fiont of Mr. Windell's of- fence as set lorth by the pleadings was his following devisive'touines, notwithstanding that it was the presbytery and not he who commenced Jevisive courses by establish- ing an epposilion concern in the very cen - tre of Mr. Windell's field of labor; and when he retaliates by carrying the war into Africa, what a storm is raised over his head by the very mer: who commenced hostilities the very hauds which had thrown the fire- brand into the camp The presbytery who had been the means of raising the very mischief of which they complained, and who with ove dash of the pen could have done justice to Mr. Windell by withdrawing ther sanction. to Mr. Thom' preacking in Mr. Windeli's charge and at once pat an end to the unreasonable strife, never dream! of pulling the beam out of their own eye but put on their specs in order to segrich Mr. Windell's for a mot, and never pave over the hunt until they had <nceeeded in getting him driven over the lines, illega!ly declaring him no longer a minister of the church, and cooly sending a commission round his congregation eeek- ing to disvade them from sttending any longer on his ministration, notwithstanding that he had done nothing lo*merit the ana- themas of the embryw Vatican ; at least tie had gone no further than the ex \mple the presbytery had given him in the matter of devisive courses, After Mr, Thom had got through his piece Mr. Smith tcok the walter up mercilessly attacking the memorial which liad been presented purpoying to be from Mr. Win- deli's congregation and containing 79 names ol heace of families. He said the petition was worth nothing, that it had not been honestly got up, that in place of 79 Mr. Windell had not'30 heads of families conkecict with his church in Curtwiight, That he (Smith) had gone io peverel whose names were on the petition and the three or four to whom he had gone had declared in presence of a member of the Cartwright congregation that they knew rothing of the petition, never signed it, nor ever instructed any one to do it for' them Ile rends a letter from Dr. Montgomery ih which he denies any knowledge of the petition though his name was on the paper. The course pursued by Mr. Smith gave his evidence very much the appearance of a strogele for victory. : Mr. Cross attempted to relate the disas- ters which had befallen him in his attempt to preach the church vacant, but the com- mission refused. to indulge him. The memorialista were now called: Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Hooey both spoke 50 as we could not hear them distinctly. Mr. Williamson from Ballydufi, was the next called ; he said he had not much to say on the matter, he belonged to the Bally- duft portion of the church, there had been no disturbance there, every thing went on pleasantly, all of them were much attached to Mr. Wdpdell. Mr. H. tson was next called. He explained how the petition had been got up and how he had come to eign a large portion of the names, the pariies having been asked if they had any objection to have their names there ; but now he held a petition in big hand with the names si by the parties each for himaelf, Ho says he was h surprised to hear Mr. Smith make the statements which he had regard- ing the number of Mr. Windell's congre- ion at-Cantwrighe by asserting thal" he had not 30 heads of families. Had Mr. Smith been an utter stranger in the locality he might have been excusable; but after boasting that he knew all about the affairs of the congregation and then in the face of this to make srch a statement, giving less ihan talf of the true number, is most un- accountable. This was the case. Alter a few more remarks from varions parties the evidence was closed and the Commissioners set about preparing their decision. The result of their deliberation was thal they svsiained the Presbytery in their action towards Mr. Windell and re- commend him to apply, by petition, to the Assembly to be reinstated into his posi- tion as a minister of the church: We learn that Mr. Windell intends act- ing on the adv.ce of the Commission, and applying by petition-- through the Presby- tery--to the General Assembly at its first sitting. . re ~------ BrEAKFAST.--Epps's C000A.--~GRATEFUL AND CourorTing.--* os knowledge of the natural laws hi the operations d on. and by a caret ap, tion tion, of the hg.

Mr. J.

On motion of Mr. A. Shier Mr. Gra- ham's request was comphed with. A peuition was presented from Mr. J.

The Council now organized as a court of Revisions Deputy Reeve in the chair. 'The first appeal taken up was from cne Mr J.

He was well satisfied that there were parties in the village who bad at least three times as much personal property as he kad who are assessed at the same fig- ure, and while be was perfectly willing to pay his just share of the taxes of the mu- oicipolity be wished othirs to do the same. . The Court esked complainant if he would swear that lis.personal property was overrated at $300. -He replied that he would do nothing of the kind, he did not complain of being overrated, but he com. plained of being rated as high as parties who had four times the property tbat he had. Appeal Dismisced. Mr. Hayes did not appear to sustain his appeal and it was dismissed. Mr. Geo. Burgess complains of his-real estate being assessed to high. The Assessor stated that he had raised it $200 as the proprietor had erected a capital new dwelling (briek). The assessment was $1,200 and the Court reduced it to $1,150. The T & N R Co'ys' lands were next taken into coesideration ; they give the amount of their land at 180 acres in the township. . Mr. Smith complains of his assessment ng too high by §400--$200 too much his new Brick building and $200 too much on his stock.

Mr. Cowan asked for an appropriation to open up a certain road cross from the 11th to the 13th con. by which the danger of twice crossing the railway track, and twice crossing the river might be obviated. He pled most eloquently for an aypropria. bei of| tion and thinks that $200 will go far towards making the road. The D.
