CATTLI PLAGIIII caused the
greater part of the dismission en the Address.
We do not know that deliberation or any-
thing else within the compass of human power
can do much to stay an ordination of Divine
Providence. Such things are assuredly,
however, means towards an end, and we are
authorised to use the means. But there is
one means far more efficacious, even humanly
speaking, which we as a people have not used,
and it is the more singular we should not
have done so, seeing that this appeal goes to
the Fountain Head. In the House of Lords,
on Thursday, the Earl of Carnarvon asked
the Prime Minister himself why Her
Majesty's Government had not only not
fixed a day of national fast and humiliation
for the mitigation of' the Cattle Plague, but
why they had absolutely declined to do so?
And what was Earl Russell's reply? Why,
that Her Majesty's Government did not
think such a step necessary, recollecting that
a special form of prayer had been introduced
into the service for that very
.purpose. In
vain did that good man, the Bishop of Lin-
coln, pledge his honest and earnest convic-
tion that a day of fast and humiliation is
desired by the nation. Sari Russell's great
besetting sin Is the pride of being linter/ibid.
But if he will neither pray nor be prayed; if
like a predecessor whom he will never equal,
howeSer much he may emulate, he
prescribes whitewash in preference to
penance to allay the wrath of God; surely
the Church and the Bishops within their
respective dioceses have the power of setting
a different example. If any man doubts that
such manifestations of Divine displeasure as
that which now so terribly afflicts this land
are sent for any other reason than to work
repentance for sin, that man can never have
given due study and reflection to the course
of the Almighty's dealings and judgments
amongst men. That this calamity is sent for
our sins, our national sins it may be, is
proved by the truth that God does nothing
in vain. But he a ould be doing even this in
vain did such a warning fail to awaken us as
a people to some sense of our guilt, and lead
us, in fact, to that very repentance it is
clearly designed to produce. The special
prayer, prepared by the Archbishop of
Canterbury shortly after the outbreak of this
murrain, has been now read in our Chinches
till it has with too many become a matter of
course as well as a matter of form. We do
not say but that, earnestly employed, this form
of prayer suffices well for Individual and con-
gregational worship. But if we road aright
the signs and portents of this dread pestilence,
it must be confessed that were its we at-
tended with twenty times the fervour it ever
appears to excite in Divine worship, the
signal crisis of famine and pestilence we are
now too probably approaching requires much
more at our hands. It is ties nation that is
afflicted, and it is the nation thist must be
humiliated- We agree with a sister in last
week's Clerical journal that the lukewarm-
urea, the apathy, and cold indifference with
which the existing prayer hu been too
generally received, is no test of the efficacy or
inefficacy of contrite supplication by a united
people at the Throne of Grace. We do not
in all things admire tte Americans, yet we
cannot help thinking that a more remarkable
instance of the efficacy of prayer was never
rendered more visible to the world than in
their late intestine war. Did Abraham
Lincoln say—" No, you have your different
forms of worship--observe them;" did he see
no necessity for calling sinners to repentance
as well as professing Christians in their
ap-
pointed males of worship P The South, so
far am we know or remember, had no days of
fasting or religions intercession. But the
North never lost or gained a field without
appoi..ting either a general humiliation or
thanksgiving, as the case might be ; and now
they are relieved by that Power which alone
could do so, of a destruction which threatened
the extermination of men instead of cattle.
We concur in thinking with the Bishop of
Lincoln that there is nothing at this moment
more earnastlyed throughout this nation
than a day of humiliation, fasting and praxer,
to propitiate the Giver of all Good, and bring
us us people into cheer communion with our
God. There are at work in such oases both
first and secondary causes; and if our
national fast did no other good, it would
reuse attention to this terrible scourge and
to theo.mbthty of averting it, by ow striving
to better lives.

It is too bad of the London journals to
clamour for Her Majesty's commingling with
her people if they intend to deal in this
fashion argth her appearances. With regard
to the Speech read on this occasion, it is
licircelytteceesary for us to touch upon its lead-
ing features, as they be already familiar
to most of our . The announcement
of the forthcoming Royal marriage was
necessary, in order that some provision might
be made by Parliament for the yotathful pair.
The death of the King of the Belgians could
not be passed over in silence, for it is a
real loss to Europe. The points of foreign
diplomacy, have indeed, perhaps, received
undue prominence, from being the work of
Bari ua.ell; and we consequently have
them served up plentifully—the meeting of
the French and %glish Fleets, the close of
the Anierielin War, the suppression of the
Slare 'trade, the depredations of Confederate
cruisers, renewal of relations with Brasil,
war betwixt Spain and Chili, negociations
with Japan, treaty with Austria, disturbances
in Jamaica, withdrawal of troops from New
Zeeland, and Confederation of the British
North American Colonies. It is altogether
a heavy programme. But, as the debates
already begin to sbew, nothing to the array
of domestic topics which follow—the Cattle
Plague, the Fenian conspiracy, the consolida-
tion of the Bankrupt laws, extension of the
itystem of Audit, the question of Capital
Punishment, a-cl the question of Parliamen-
tary Reform 'but faintly foreshadowed in the
Speech by an intimation of statistic* in
process of collection with a view to such
improvements u may tend to strengthen our
free institutions and conduce to the public ,
welfare. These points, with the vast and '
varied ramifications of Church and other
questions not mentioned in the speech—
oaths -bills--and Post-office appointmehti,
are regarded as cutting out a good deal of
work for the New Parbament, and we believe
they will take to it kindly
