Progress was not o ] effected by enormous leaps ; but nevertheâ€" © \less, within the lifetime of members of that y} House, prodigious changes had taken place 1. in this countryâ€"changes which, in most x | eases, had come to be acknowled, even by * | those who opposed them at the time, as 1 ,’just and valuable. Now, there had been a *| world of difficulty in getting beneficial r , changes both in England and Ireland; but *) there was a power in England, and in Ireâ€" f iland, too, which, if exerted in a honournble 4 ’ and just eause, no other power in the counâ€" ; j try could long withstand. _ He believed *| those debatesâ€"which Lad an intense| ‘|inter®st for himsolf{â€"would not â€" be _| without a great result. The Government ® | were as anxious that the condition of Ireâ€" : _\ land should be changed as any hon. memâ€" j (i ber upon those benches. They had no inâ€" ; ‘ | terestâ€"no man in England had any interâ€" { ‘|eatâ€"in maintaining the present condition | of Ireland, and with the fair coâ€"operation f ‘|of hon. members from Lreland with the | party sitting on the Ministerial benches, he 1 " | could not doubt that the condition of affairs | | in Ireland would be changed and amended. | (Hear, hear.) At the present time there|" were very heavy clouds hangipg over Ireâ€"|® lind, and the anxiety which was felt by the t representatives of that conutry was also felt | ° in England. ‘They knew however, that the clouds which obscured the political and soâ€" | t cial aspect of a country often broke and | were chased away, He was afraid with reâ€"| © gard to many of those poor families in the | * West of Ireland, where the land was so bap | © and the climate was so precariousâ€"he was | P afraid that if many of those peor tenants | W even had their farm@giveh to them, they | P‘ would still be unable in some seasons to live without charitable contributions.

Bomething could | th be done, and it required only the earnest| _ and serious coâ€"operation of Irish Reformers with the Liberal party of this copntry, led | ® dition lay the only remedy that Parliament conld provide. Almost all people made mistakes about their own interests. If the Irish ‘proprietors knew their own interests, he believed they would be clamonring at the doors of that house for a change in their condition. One proprietor told him that the condition of landed proprietors in Ireland was now such that they would alâ€" ‘must consent to anything that would give them any probable security for their proâ€" perty. (Hear, hear.) He would advise then: not to be one of 10,000 resident proâ€" prictors in Treland ; but he would wish to be one in 100,000 proprietors. If there were so many they would find that the proâ€" prictory class would be much more powerâ€" ful, and that great solidity would be given to the political condition of Ireland, and the property of proprietors in Ireland would be just as seeure as the property of proprietors in Great Britain,. â€" But unforâ€" neneueLy Muo The state of Ireland is very unsatisfacâ€" tory. The Irish policy ef Mr. Gladstone‘s Government _ during the _ late _ sesâ€" sion of the British Parliament has had a conciliatory effoct, and there is no question but that the _ rejection of the Irish Compensation Bill by the House of Lords was a great mistake, and afforded a new opportunity to unsernpuloas agitators to inflame the tenontry against the landâ€" lords. Mr. Bright, in common with every other hnmane member of the House of ' Commons, has given great attertion to the condition of the Irish people and is well i qurlified to advise any Government on that subject. Like all other thinking perâ€" sons, he holds that the melancholy condiâ€" | tion of that country is the result of misgovâ€" ernment by the Houss of Commons for the last two centuries. The House of Comâ€" : mons is now endeavoring to remedy the errors committed by its predecessors, but the Irish people complain that the reformâ€" ers do not proceed fast enough. They forâ€" get, that if this is the case, the causo lies with themselves and the hierarchy by which they are so much influenced. Mr. Bright, addressing the House of Commons on the state of Ireland, said :â€"*"They had now a condition of things which it was impossible to continue without disorder. (Hear, hear.) They had 500,000 or nearly 600,000 tenants of the soil, who were really in the condition of tenants at will, and they had on the other side about 10,000 propriecters, oneâ€" half ot whom were absentees. _ (Cheers.) He was of opinion that in that single fact of half a million of tenants looking in the face of 10,000 proprietors was to be found in the whole of the evits that affilcted the country, and that in a change of that conâ€" artificial aids from even & protectionist Government. Sir Leonard‘s offer, howâ€" ever, is explained by th London Free Press "Promises," says the organ, "are ot various kinds some are conditional aad some are unconditional." No doubt Sir Leonard‘s is of the latter ciass, which like the Delphian oracle, may be held to mean anything. MBR.

The successful discovery of a North Eust passage from: the Atlantic to the Indian ~|Sea through Behring‘s Straits, by Adolf ‘| Nordenskiold, has given a frosh stimulus \| to Arctic explorations, and it is ramoured "| that a new expedition is being fitted out, in ‘| which the Canadian Government is asked | to take part. ‘The objects and aims of this ‘ | new expedition are not stated, but as & ! North West passage Las been already shown | to be useless for commercial purposes, it | may be presumed that one of the objects .| will be,to settle the vexed question of anopen f Polar Sea. From the times when the Spanâ€" |iards and Portuguese ruled supreme on tbe‘ [ Atlantic and Indian Oceans down to within | a few years ago, repeated altempts have | been made by the Northern nations of Eaâ€" rope, and chiefly by England, to discover |a more direct passage to China and India |than the long and dangerous route by | way of Cape Horn and the Cape of Good | Hope. The first attempt to sail round the | northern coast of America was made by Jolin Cabot in 1497, who got no further than the coasts of Labrador, and since his time upwards of 200 expeditions have in vain atteripted to reach Behring‘s Straits from Baffin‘s Bay. The most successful was that under Captain McClure, who sailâ€" ed from Portsmouth in 1850, and having passed sofely through Behring‘s Strait sailed eastward, but was bound in the ice 60 miles west of Barrow Strait. Two years afterwards he and his crow were reseued by Sir Edward Belcher who sailed westward from Baffin‘s Bay through Lancaster Sound, and reaching Barrow‘s Straits, reâ€" turned the sarce way. To McClure, thereâ€" fore, and his men belong the honour of hayâ€" ing accomplished the North West passage. The existence of a continuous water highâ€" way through the Arctic Archipelago on the northern shores of this continent . has thus been proven, although fhere is no likelihood of its ever being made serviceâ€" able for the purposes for which it was at first so eagerly sought after. Noris it so necessary in these days for the uses of comâ€" meree. The ronts to the East Indies has been very much shortened by the construsâ€" tion of the Suez Canal, and when the route to Cathay is still further shortened by the Panama Canal, the North West Passage would, if accessible, become of little imporâ€" tance. It is otherwise with the North East passage, however. Independently of its beinga considerably shorter route toChina than auy other, its chief importance lies in the fact that nccess is now rendered possiâ€" bie to Asiatic Siberia by water, and an outâ€" let offered for the products of that conntry â€"on the one hand from the vast territory ldramcd by the Obi and Yenissei to the Atâ€" noticeand on thoiather an ipterchange, of Lena and China and Japan. _ Professor Nordenskiold writes that large tracts of these northern regions is of rearkable ferâ€" tility,and that the opportunity is only wantâ€" ed,to establish a large trade between it and European countries, by the exportation of the products of the firm and forest and mines, in exchange for the industrial proâ€" ' ducts of Enrope and America. Already, we observe that extensive preparations are ’ being made by Russia and other European | countries for following out the line of trade indicated by the distinguished Swedish ' navigator. ‘ make changes which would be of immense and widespread beneflt Ahroughout the whole of Ireland, and from which he beâ€" lieved in his conswence the landed proprieâ€" tors would gain at least as much as anyone else.

They say, in effect, that either this is not: the inspired Word of God, or the Spirit nf}‘ God inspired that holy man of old to exâ€"| hort to such evil practices. I have no| doubt it is throngh ignorance they are led | mb I suppose there is not un Antiâ€"Orgamist in the Presbyterian Choreh in Canada who would deny the inspiration of the Bible, They all believe that the Sceriptures were written by holy men of old, inspired by the Spirit of God. Now David, in more than It has also been often said that there is no authority for instrumental music in the Bible, at least, no more than we have for polygamy and such like, namely, the exâ€" ample of Bible characters.

Now it is expected that all who can are to join in this service, and in order to be able to do so they must first learn to rean, and then learn to sing, and anything that may ass‘st in learning or practising the one or the other is valuable. Yet there are many who object to the use of an instruâ€" ment to assist the voice in singing God‘s praises, who never object to the use of an instrument to assist the eyes in reading God‘s Word. The principle is the same in both cases ; if it is wrong to assist the voice in God‘s service, it is also wrong to assist the eye. We hear it often said that instrumental music is praising God by maâ€" chinery. â€" Now an instrument can‘t praise Go J. Neither do men praise God through an instrument ; it is merely an assistant to the human voice in the mschanical part of praise, and if it is right fr us to praise God with the voice in unison, it is right for us to do so the best we can, and with all the helps at command. The end of al churely music is that a whole congregation of worshippers may praise God in unison of sentiment, of voice, and of heait; and in order thereto, we must have some fixed form® of words and music. If every one m a congregation sang praises in nceordante with his own frame of mind, in words and music of his own extempore composition, would we no have an infinite variety of ideas, in an inâ€" finite medley of words, given in an infinite discord of sounds; making the service of praise a perfect Babel of confusion instead ofâ€"what it should beâ€"a service in which the benuties of poetry and nusic are united, which tends to elevate the soul mabove the vanitis and cares of this life, and prepare it to receive the impress of truth and of piety.
