A ‘ SENSIBLE AMERICAN JOURNAL with Great Britain and Canada, it is gratiâ€" | iying to notice the cilm and temperate | munner in which the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser discusses the Fishery question. | As our contemporary very truly remarks, «it is greatly to be regretted that so ‘“mm and so hittle inâ€" formation can be feound in the newspa imuw»m the quesâ€" " The queston to be determined is, not whether President Grant . is astatesman or not, or whether Generâ€"l Butler is a "Boast" but whether Ame © cin fishermen have violated the stipulaâ€" tions of the treaty of 1818. No one, not even General Girant himself, has ventured to dispute the fact of that treaty being still in force,and one of its articles declares that the citizens or the United 3tites shall have the common rig .t, with British subâ€" jects, to fish on the Southern and Western coasts of Newfoundland and the shores of the Magdalen Islands; thence, northerly indefinitely through the Straits of Be le Isleâ€"and to dry and cure fish on the unâ€" settled bays, harbors, &o., and on the coast of Librador ; also to do all this where , | the shores are, or may be settled, by agreeâ€" ment with the inhabitants ; and, thereâ€" upon, the United States renounce All rights of fishing on any other British coasts than those above described within three marine miles thereof, the right being re served, however, to enter harbors, &c., to nwwdob“w‘fi"wv under such restrictions as shall prevent the abuse of this reserved right. § . If it cin be shown that American fisherâ€" men bhave been found fishing within three marine miles of any other British coasts than those described. we do not w.ll see how our action in capturing them and their boats, &c., cin be characterized as © unfriendly," and if in consequence of our action the United Stites Government ’.-unnrietinn.-ddl«o against c“xpymhmfiuy'uilcyd.dm ‘repudiation of a solemn treaty made and subscribed to by the two Gorvernments of Gre«t Bytain and America. We cannot ‘help noticing further the sensible tone which the Commercial Adverâ€" tiser wlopts when speaking of the chances of of war between Great. Britain and Russia. A majority of the American journals, led astray by exsessive Anglophobi1, are conâ€" stantly endesvouring to prove Great Britain to be alike cowardiy and im ptent. We will not insult the American public by supposing that many people beliere what these papers say, but no doubt a few whose ignorance and hatred for England are about on a par, enjoy reading the kind of twaddlo referred to. We notive that our Buffalo contem porary expresses the opimion tha t : «* Though anxious for peace, the â€" lish are not afraid of war. 'l\obnllk-:f the nation may not be now with the Granâ€" ville wing dlhotm But, if Russia attom to act ‘% the stout as ever, popular party wi then be that which speaks for war." We do not admire the Advertiser because it is any less thoroughly American and patriotic than its @spread eagle" neighâ€" bours, neither have we any personal or private reason: tor desiring to "puft" it. We merely allude to the tone it adopts when speaking of matters connected with England and with Canada as being vastly superior to that adopted by most of its contemporaries, and, because we desire to see the most fmendly feelings existing beâ€" lunum neighbours and ourselves, we wish that other American journals would follow it« e ample. ons k the 49405 lity, Mr. Blake, ‘;‘f“:\ww courteo1s, ran mentary, retorted, “M: hon. gentleman‘s } |Mm w mmw the "‘P“‘““mmm i Olkis. kE _ .n im Jook L shall prevent | Mr. h. n erican fisher | p 4 within three | but British coasts | tior not w.ll see | ©** g them and : racterized as | pro msequence of | ex¢ ; Government | * ® ll«-mfl= We have sketched thus far the appoâ€" late jurisdiction of the Court in civil and criuminal @atters, and its special jurisdicâ€" tion in constitutional matters.

The Rev. Mr. Cartwright delivered an able, eloquent, and interesting lecture on the "Life and Times of Mary Queen of Seots," last evening, in Gowan‘s Hall, to a rather meagre audience. The small atâ€" tendance is accounted tor, of course, by the attraction of the concert at the Theatre. Lecture in Gowan‘s Hall Revr. Mr. Cartwright In commencing the reverend gentleman referred to the early history of Mary Queen of Scots, and to the charms of manner‘ and person â€" which she possessed â€"accomâ€" plished as few princes had been before her, she suffered as none have ever done ; at one time surrounded by the gaiety of b.en taught to cherish a mutual attachâ€" ment, had each awaitinga rich inheritance, and looking at all the probabilities, there was reason to anticipate joy in the marâ€" riage. Francis indeed was inferior to Mary in mn:l“‘olpiriu. in mental endowâ€" ments, in pbysical beauty, in vivacity and vigour. E: was on-{lu in stature, feeble in health, of timid disposition, hirdly _a fit representative of . the gallant Henry and the baughty Catherâ€" ine, and _ hardly qualified to . susâ€" tain with dignity the brilliant court he was born to inherit. Yet Mary loved him both before and after her marriage ; and as Miss Strickland renmarked, whatever may have been his estimation with others, he was the object of ber dervoted love, and reigned in her beart without a rival. ‘The lecturer then described, in a brilliant style, the celebr npuptial ceremony. by the \Paris glittered with gold and beauty. There were gorgeous decorations, magniâ€" ficent dresses, brilliant displays, tourna ments, fetes, &0., until the people becatne. exhausted and the nation was prostrate in ‘ the delirium of its joy. Ti is impossible to conrey an adequate idea of the splendor of this description, and it was, greeted at the close, as it deseryon to be, with enâ€" tuugiastic applause. The brilliant sunâ€" shine of Mary‘s wedding day was succeedâ€" ed by threitening clouds. While the adâ€" mired of all eyes and the delight of all hearts, her position began to assumeée a responsibility and care which filled her |wita grave anxiewy. At first she was suâ€" rnmely hn'Ppy. Her life had the radiant | freshnessof a summer‘s morn. ‘The sweet | perfume of incense was wafte l round her path,. Sho gare every proof a young wife could give of satisfaction with the | choice she had made, and of happiness in | her marriage. The lecturer then reâ€" | butted the insinuation that she never | loved Francis, and that her marriage was at best a matter of political expediency, showing that she acted deliberately, and | that in neither royal palaces nor humble ‘| homes was there more satisfactory eviâ€" | dence of deep devotion and tender love. : | But ominous portents started in her path. Before her sun had reached its meridian, | * it was invercepted bz a cloud. ‘The lecâ€"| turer then rapidly sketched the jealousy and misunderstanding which spr»mf":l C betw.en her and Elizabeth of Eng r£ specially on the ground of the assumption y of the title and arms of England. Mr. | 4 Cartwright while contending that Mary was not wholly free from blame, yet pleadâ€" | ; ed in extenuation that she was in the mat ter subservient to her f:.therâ€"inâ€"law and * uncles; that the assumption was first | J made without her sanction, and that she did not intend any act of injury or disreâ€" | , spect to Elizabeth,. We then had a sketch of the death of Henry II. and the acces sion of Fr .ncis and Mary to the throne of | France. Rapidly following this came th« teath of Francis, and a touching account | , of Mary‘s desolation and sorrow. Then the preparation made tor her return to | / Scotlana ; the lament of the French § ple ; the application to the Queen of m- 4 l.nd for a safe conduct; the plot | , ting of Throckmorton, the English Amâ€" bassador, to betray bher movements; her departure from Calai«, and the bitter, pasâ€" sionate regret with which she had b d adieu e France, and gazed for the last time upon the receding French coust, ~The artempt of Elizabeth to intercept her was then deâ€" scrived ; her arrival in Leith, and her reâ€" ception ny the people of Seotland. At this point it was necessary to diverge from the personal history of Mary to pourtray the condition of Scotlana when she re wurned. _ The lecturer considered the inâ€" Huence which Mairy‘s French education and lite had upon her future career ; and. con vended that amidst ull the: gaiety of the French court, and the l1sentiousness of the French nation, she never sacriticed her vir. tue, was never tinged by pollution, never committed improprielUies which were deâ€" | rogatory to her station and her sex, and | that when she returned to Scomand after | un absence of thirteen years it was with a | mind as pure uand a character as unblemâ€" ished as when she embarked in the French l fleet at Dumbarton loch. And when shereâ€" | uurned to Scotland she gave every evidence ; | of a destre to conduct the administration of , | the country in a satisfactory manner, and , | if she hsd veen fairly dealt with by her , | ministers, &o., she might have reigned in , | peace and honour, and under her the hisâ€" P mm country might have been as _ | brilliant as its novmiz'n_wu beautiful. _ The lecturer then referred to the Retorâ€" mation in »cotland, and showed the comâ€" motions which it kept continually alive ; the contentions it gave rise to between the Reformers and komin L‘Ml;!liu, and the insults and rudness to which the Queen . was subject on aco unt of her adherence to the religion in which she was ~born and educated and in which she died. It was impossivle for her 10 have «uny great love or sympathy for subjects who. treatoa her so very rudely on accuunt of her difference trom them in religion. He then passed rapidly to the matrimonial negotiations in which Eliz.beth had â€" a . hind and endeavrored for some reason by every in â€" which Kiliz.beth had â€" a .. bind, and endâ€"avrored for some reason by every means in â€" her _ power, â€" to deteat all M‘ri;t desires in this conaecâ€" tien. e ‘traced that â€" part _ of her history up to her marriage with her cousin, Lord parniley, which might have resulte4 favorably. but under the circum Eon EeRmemeai o Semy Son es »t.nces, was the uitimate cause of her deâ€" plorable death. He &fl:;l her great love for Darnley, but i ing him she committed berselt to a living death. _ Afier nferrinfmw a few spcsceeding events in Mary‘s history, the lecturer conâ€" cluded an eloquent and able lecture reâ€" gretting that want of time would not perâ€" mit him to trace the interesting subject {urther, and expressing a williugness to deliver lectures at some future time in Uttawa if requested to do so. A vyote of thanks was then moved by the Hon. Malâ€" com Cameron, and it is useless to say carried unaninm usly. . From the Manitoban, Nov. 26. The political canvass is progressing vig oreusly.
