A lecture on the above subject was de livered at the St..

The lecturer commenced by observing that the present was a utilitarmn age, ons in which the cultivation of the usetul art was considered ‘more conducive to the well bâ€"ing of min, intellectually and mo: ally, than that ot the tine «arts. While h did net agree with the decisi n which se spirit.

What, then, is there "*unfriendly ‘ or * unneighbourly" in the action ¢f the Dominion Government! In referring to the question of the n=vigâ€" ton of the St. Luw:ence the author of the work gives some extracts from the Mon treal G=zette and Vtt.wa Tixzs showing the absurdity of President Grant‘s position, amd then deals in an »rgumentative, and thoroughly straightforward manner, wich the general course . adopted by th» Americans towards the people of th s coun try.

Thus there appeared no reason to hope that the fishery question might be satisfactorily solved by a recurrence to the condition of affairs which prevailed from 1854 to 1866. The Americans had imposed a prohibitive duty upon fish caught by Cansadians, and our fishermen were in consequence compelled to rem«in idle and see foreigners enjoy all the advantages of the Canadian fisheries. Much dissatisfact.on was naturally felt in the Maritime Provinces, and it became obâ€" .ous to the Government of Canaaa that unless they intended to relinquish their claim to the fisheries altogether, they must begin to consult the interests ot the Canaâ€" dian people in the matter. Parliament tok the same view of the question and voted a sum of money for the maintenance of a marine police. HMer Mujesty‘s governâ€" ment assented to the proposed policy, and strongly reinforced the North Americin squadron, instructing the Admiral on the station to enforce respect to the national rights The Irish as a Business People. se | as described by Mr. O‘Connell in 1843, viz, ie | ‘‘exporting cattle we ought to eat, and a |importing goods we ought to manufacâ€" ly | ture." Great changes had been effected, ie | no doubt ; a mure just public opinion was e | being rapidly formed in Engl ind, he grantâ€" d |ed; but what did he read in the evicience aâ€" | before a Commission appointed in 1865 to ; | enquire into the nflm‘:y-mn in Ireland ? d | A Dublin n«nhn: . Bewby, stated : .. | =»I bold in my bandbills which had us something of whiat tollowed. Here Mr.. Ryan hor:.‘ a series of lt;ltemenu «shewing manufacting employment fell off throughou: lreland consequent upon the Union. One particular is a samâ€" ple. In Dublin the woolien trade from 1782 to 1794 flourished in all its branches, ind continued in a fair way until 1810. The averge number of men whom it emâ€" ployed from 1782 to 1810, was about 1500 ; average amount of wages £1 10 per week. ln 1843 the uumber emyloy ed was three hundred and z;!y (350) ; avrerâ€" age wages, cigh!een shilii gs per week. Mr. Ryan then expressed a strong duoubt as to the prosperity of trade in Ireland at preâ€" sent. He was apprehensive that it was still " How stamis the case now,‘" says Mr. Fitt in the House of Commons in 1785,â€" " the trade is infinitely more advrantageous to Ir+â€"land."‘ Lord Chancellor Clare said : " There is not a nation in the habitable globe which has advanced in cultivation «nd commerce, in agriculiure and manuâ€" fuctures with the same rap‘dity in the sime period." ‘The bankers of Dublin, tbe _ Duvlin guild _ of _ merchants, pullished evidence in detail to the same ffeet. : But the jealousy of Ireland‘s prosperity, of which Mr. Pitt had comâ€" plained, was again sgroused, and tinall culminated in the loss to Ireland of h'{r tree Parliament, *©*1I hope not for ever," sail the speaker most emphatically,â€"ani then whait followed? Ah! it is a sad tale to tell what followed. Resolutions and petitions adopted by the Dublin trades at public meet.ngaheld in the Corn Exchange Kooms in the years 1841, ‘42 and ‘43 tell The victory of â€" 1782 was won ; commercial freedom was secured ; fore:gn and colonial mairkets were opened to Ireâ€" land‘s trade and manufactures ; «nd what « rush of prosperity do we then witness ! What an answer to the charge thit the Irish were not a business people ! Â¥ His vivifying and purifying eloquence soon procured for his adored county a tParliament worthy of the name, one de voted to her honor and â€"interests. w her exactions, however severe. But a better and a brighter ‘day soon dawned. irattan arose !

The "intentou‘‘ of England in estiablishing he linen trade was finally put |beyond all juestion, when the Act 1lUtch Anne, cap 19, which imposed a duty of " 3U per cent m lhnmuuhinforagurnu." was held to apply to Ireland. ‘The learned lecturer next glanced «2t the long list of Eng lush Parliamentary enactments us.uut Irsh trade and manufactures, to detail which, would require not a lecture but a â€"pecial volume. This keen and conâ€" anued _ exertion, â€" he _ said, would â€"eeim to indicate in Irelind the existence of manufacturing urhilidu, and some caâ€" pacity in her people for traie and comâ€" nerce. . He next met the question «o commonly asked, what was the action . f the Irish Purliament in view of this â€"ggressive English ptl.icy? #It is painâ€" ul, he replied," to obliged to say that this then unfaithful body was generally 1cquisscent. But the reason was soon told. They were not the Parliament of l'ho nation. Tb:zhnpmenbd the w:n- d4ancy party, w was under such obli jations to L:;hnd that they had to yiel : im 1698, and the violator of ihe ireaty of imerick fittingly replied : "I shall do all .luint in me lies to discourago the Wovlen u nufacture of Irelund, ana to encourage be linen manufacture of Ireland and w promote the trade of : England." ‘bis desire to promote the linen trade is ‘*xplained by. the facts that whereas wool vas the n«tional ~staple of Irelana, fliax, or the manuf.ciure ot linen, had general y 10 be inglorled from kngland. But what «wrogance did it not argue. to prescribe for ireland what species of miwnulacture she should cultivate. She required no advice «s to the linen trade ; she had already proâ€" mote i it to the proper commercial extent ; â€"«elt to uational dignity, and necessary #ealth.

It is l:imentable to see the spirit in which EnglLind met these noble exerâ€" tious of the teebler country to elevate herâ€" and would continue to do so, "a clothing trade,"‘ because it would trench on the «lothing of England, and beat us out of the trade its If by underselling us, which they (the Irish) were Boie to do." _ In l673tboprhq'|);b was more broadly laid down by Sir William Temple. "Regird wmust be had," he said, =to those puints yherein the trade of England comes to inâ€" werfere with that of Ireland, in which cuse the Irish trade ought to be declin«« so a w gire wiy to that of England." â€" The civil strife which raged towards the end o the 1 7ih Century much retarded the m nu (acturing progress of Ilreland, yet her RHorts, even then, were fa«r from being inâ€" signiricant, as shown by the historiau Barâ€" :ow. From the time of the Act of Settie: went till the revoluumonary wars under Wilâ€" i1iam li1, she incressed much in wealth, «ud so rapidly did she recover trom the calamities of the latter period that in 1693 <he balance of trade wis largely in her | Be this as it may, however, nothing is bet terestablished thâ€"n thit, at a later period Irel:ind onrried on an active trude wiuh the | Western coast of Spain, and it would be | strange indeed if her admirable position | for foreign trade was not brought into play. 'Tho evigence collected by Parliamentary enquiries as to the advantages of harbors on the western coast of Ireland is quite decisive. "The royage from America to . the West of Ireland, and back again,‘" says Dr. Kane, «"could frequently be made: in the time that vesseis tike in clearing the channel from Liverpeol, from London, or from (Glasgow.‘" Another competent authority speaking of the struggles and ; loss of lfe and property attenduant upon | the . navigation _ of . the _ English channel _ said : "If _ Ireland _ had justi e done her she would be the En repot tor those vessels, instead of Liverpool with | her sand banks, or London with the danâ€" | gers of her river, and their cargoes would ; be safely landed in Cork or Wawrford, and ‘ the circulation of these cargoes through the Empire from our ports would be mot raâ€" pid by means of the steamboats that ply between thâ€" two countries." But it is still said the Irish are nâ€"t a business people, have no natural inclinatien for trade, and hence the backwurdness of their country in times past and in the present time. Ah! the best answer to th:is is the f.ct of the marked exertions made by England in unmm and to a oor‘bt:in ox:m still being e, to rrdnnt rowth ef Inish trade, ‘The o oppoouionfn this respect is most fully admitted by such high authoâ€" rities as Pitt, Huskisson, and Lab«nchere, by the last named when he was President of the Board of Trade. Pitt spoke so plainly and indignantly on the subject as to attribute the opposition to "a jealousy f Ireland‘s prosperity" ; and th® tact â€"of the continued exertions of knglisH statesâ€" men and merchants to repress almost every species of Irish trade {mnfiu the assertion. _ As far back as 1636 we find Strafford writing from lreland to the â€" lish Privy Councal that be had discoura THE OTT.WA TIMLS.

"b.seral members left for homse to day. contributed in their effects on the mind to public order, to an anti revolutionary spirit. _ Lord Baron said that the m«n who had children gave hostages to the law. Most certainly so did the man who had money in the Sivings Bank, every deposit there was a hostage to the lar, Hence Mosely in his * political eleâ€" ments‘‘ says there is sufficient money in the Savings‘ Banks in England to gi'ovant. a revolut;on. He, the spesker, heartily wished that there was a Suvings‘ Bank and a Tempâ€"ram e Society wherever, the Insh were, and, trust him, the Irish would then soon be not only an able business people, but a Christian people of the highest type. Mr. Ryan was, as might b'o'oxEoeiéd, listened to throughout with ma«rked atâ€" tention and respect. _ _ _ Aoto Young & Radford‘s toâ€" day and Bsuy your whrist= mas Presonts . {nm'pmw’im would be from England and Scotland ; but of the first 21 millions of pouudn realized not oneâ€"serenth came â€" jrom England and Scotland and two thirds of the Irish pur. chasers were catholics.

He refered also in glowing terms to the success of the race throughout the British Empire, and in the United States of America as busiâ€" ness men, schelars, and luutmon. are their numbers. and such *beir im tance, in England itself that the his torian Alison was alarmed lest they might one day â€" control â€" the institutions of that country. A â€" Governor of Australia writes to the Imperial authorities th.t the lirish were amongast the most prosperous and most conservative people under his government. in lact the U‘Shaughnessy Government, with Gavin Dufty as its commissioner of Crown lands ruled in Weggern Australia for years. And now he would mention « fact most credit able to Mr. Dufty, and one which shewed that an Irishm«n could be true to a gGorâ€" ernment that was true to him. When Mr. Duiffy arr.ved in Australisa he found there a Doctor Liing, a Scorchman, who had been long agitating for} the separa tion of that country from England. Knowâ€" , Mr. Duffy‘s antecédents he thought he would secure in hiimn an immediate ally. ‘ But Mr, Duily saw that Australia was not Ireland, but was enjoying the very system of government which he and others had , demanded for Ireland, that is, a governâ€" ment re«ponsible to her own poopg, sub. ject t. their direct control ; and in one of the ablest papers he evrer wrote he so adâ€" . vised Doctor Laimng. Mr. Duffy dii not deny that England had wronged his own | country, had even inflicted suffering upon himself personally, but he would not rio. j 1 :te principle by opposing, or attempting | to injure her, where hber rule was just. . Reference (was next made to Mr. M«guire‘s book on «© The Irsh in Ameriâ€" ca," in which that able writer, and shrewd observer, tracks his. fellow oounu-ymon,"md their descendants, throughout the British , Provinoe&ennd from Muine to Me 400, | finding them everywhere, while aroiling oo much drink, doing well, often doing wonders. The details in M\r. Maguire s book as to the success of the Irish on this continent, to several of which Mr. Ryan ; referred, are moet interesting. . One i great fact is worthy of special mention. Within a quarter of a century not less vhan £24,000,000, or lt:rgo‘in‘ there was no depreciation of United States Currencâ€" , $120,000,000, â€" was sent by the <Irish ! in â€"the _ United States _ to their ; kindred _ in _ Ireland. The leoâ€" ture was closed by a well reasoned ‘and inâ€" structive essay on Savings Banks in which it was shewn what a large interest the Irish on this continent have in these institutions, «nd how very valuable they are as the | strong box of the pum of moderâ€" | ite means, und pro t habits. The | lfiurer spoke feelingly and eloquently l ent want and suftering, how muc y | enubled virtually to get his g. # tin, and having ogt them them to the country at a much t the Dublin merchant can from his aon city." Several other merchants complained to the sume effect.

"This,"‘ said Mr. ~\< Ryan, "looks _ like bistory repoating itself," and then remindâ€" ed the audience of what Sir William lTemple had said in‘1673. Mr. Ryan next spoke of the tenacity with which under the disadâ€" rantages of the pust the Irish clung to Ireland, and to what an extent, even, a large proportion of them entered into what is known as business, and prospered. l|his wasthown in the result of the recent sales of Eucumbered Estates.
