There was a time when Lord RUSSELL would scarcely
have listened with the greatest pleasure to a
speech on an ecclesiastical question from a Non-
conformist leader. There was not always an entire
reciprocity of good feeling and good services
between Whig statesmen and the Non-
conformists. The latter have been lees re-
luctant in times past to support Whig
statesmen, than Whig statesmen to acknowledge
1 their support. Whig statesmanship bas learnt
a larger charity in its latter days.
Earl Ruaserd.'s emphatic recognition of Mr.
Mista'm " courage, boldness, and consistency " in
combating for an unsocessful cause, and his mode-
ration in the moment of triumph, proclaims the
dawn of a new era. And we are not afraid that
the meeting in St. James's-hall to night in behalf
of the Irish Church Establishment will bring the
darkness of intolerance back again.

A CORRESPONDINT informs usthat a comparatively
new branch of industry is being pushed in the City.
The man who engages in it should, first, have a
good fund of assurance, and next, a pretty fair ac-
quaintance with the ways of business men. He
may then take an office and proceed • to business.
He must invest in a brass doorplate, whereon is
engraved the name of a sounding firm, and he must
hire a small boy to keep his office open. This
is the extent of his investment, and he
is absolutely secured against lonee from bad
debts. He goes to a large house, say in the wine
trade. He tells them that he has an extensive
shipping order to execute, and that he wants
samples. The merchant is delighted to supply him,
and forthwith a box of small bottles of different
priced sherries is delivered into the custody of the
office boy. He goes to a dealer in brandies, and
samples equivalent to a regular bottle of cognac
follow the sherries. Silks, pickles, hobnails, sugars,
are equally the object of this busy " commission
merchant's" inquiry, and the little office in the City
soon fills with a miscellaneous collection of samples.

THE ASSASSINATION OF MR. D'ARCY
WOHEE.

Advice, from Canada brought to-day by the
American mail of the Bth, announce that Mr.
D'Arcy BUGhee was shot through the brain late on
the previous Monday night by an unknown assassin
while returning from the Parliament House in
Ottawa. A large reward has been offered for the
discovery of the assassin, who is supposed to be a
Fenian.
