THE GERMAN LEGION FOR CANADA

On Saturday morning an interesting scene took place
on the arrival and embarkation of a portion of the
German Legion, 3rd Jagars or rifles, who have voluntered
their services for Canada. It may be premised that the
men are young, able-looking, and of a stouter build
than the general run of Germans, whom we see passing
through the port on their way to America. The draft of
men in question, arrived (from Devenport) at Lime-
street station, by the mail train at four o'clock. It con-
sisted of 250 men, the officers in command being Major
Francis Weiss, Captain Carstensen, and Lieutenant
Rohrer. Captain Addison is in charge of the expedition
on the part of the government. The expedition was
met at the station by Mr. William Frackleton, who is
agent for the ship in which they go out to Quebec, and
who had the management of the whole proceedings in
Liverpool. As soon as the men were got into order,
Mr. Frackleton, and the officers at their head, proceeded
to the " Napoleon Hotel," Lime-street, where Mr.
Frackleton had previously provided an excellent and sub-
stantial breakfast both for men and officers. It was on the
table in a few seconds, much to the gratification of all the
travellers, by whom ample justice was done to this early
and welcome repast. This all-important duty having
been performed, the men were mustered, and the officers
having expressed their thanks to, and warm approbation
of, the manner in which Mr. Frackleton had conducted
the business, the draft set off, headed by the officers, and
Mr. Frackleton, to the Pier-head, where a steam tender
was in readiness to receive them. They were on board
the boat at six o'clock precisely, and in few minutes
were conveyed to the fine and well known ship Martin
Luther, belonging to Mr. Duncan Gibb, which lay in
the river ready to receive them. The fitting up of the
vessel for the reception of the men was done under the
direction and superintendence of Mr. Frackleton, and
we may say that in no instance have we beheld anything
better done in an emigrant vessel for the accommoda-
tion, comfort, and health of passengers ; indeed, the
German officers were struck with admiration, and de-
clared, that even in a barrack they had never seen any-
thing to surpass the excellence of the entire arrange-
ments. Major Weiss informed Mr. Freckleton that he
would write very strongly to the Government, with the
view that in future, in cases like the present, the gen-
tleman who had been so successful should be employed
to perform the duty on future occasions. The sleeping
and dining departments on board the noble ship,
both for men and officers, are admirably
arranged, and the details carried nut with great
skill. The men are supplied with a liberal dietary scale,
and fresh beef (made up so as to last for the voyage),
is supplied in plenty. They have been also dealt with
liberally in the way of clothing; and, in a word, nothing
has been left undone that could add to their personal
comfort, the whole being left to the sole management of
Mr. Frackleton, to whom the officers, when parting
from him, again expressed their unbounded thanks and
opprobation. There was an excellent dejeuner got up on
board the ship previous to her sailing. She was cleared
about twelve o'clock for Quebec, and dropped down
with the evening's tide. We wish her a safe and speedy
oyage.

Whether Mr. Macnaught may ultimately think proper or
not to reply to Mr. Lowe's peculiar style of review, which,
by the way, could always be recognised, under any soubri-
quet, from its resemblance to mock-learned twaddle written
at more than full length, I shall conclude this letter by
asking Mr. Lowe to refer to the tenth paragraph of his fifth
letter to the Courier, and tell us where Mr. Macnaught in—
terprets " the Comforter" to signify merely " the spiritual
meaning of the Gospel ?"
Further, if Mr. Lowe's quotation of the small s instead of
the large S, was " purely accidental," how comes it that
throughout the eleventh paragraph of Mr. Lowe's fifth
letter, the same pure accident is repeated over and over
again as quite a point in the reviewer's argument ?
Till Mr. Lowe shall answer these and some other queries,
and explain the matter respecting " Michaelis," referred to
iu my note of 3esterday, I really cannot congratulate the
editor of the Courier on adding to the Rev. Samuel Fenton,
the " Lover of Truth," and some other correspondents, the
name of the Rev. J. B. Lowe.—Your's, &c.,
June 21, 1856. VERAX.

THE REV. J. B. LOWE AS A. REVIEWER

AGAIN

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES

SIR-I have seen in your paper of this morning another
letter from your correspondent Verax, under the above con-
cupicious heading. I deeply regret to be obliged to say

that this second letter does not establish his claim to the
signature attached to it any more than the former. It con-

tains no less than three misrepresentations, to use no stronger
word. .

Ist. The writer has falsely stated that I refer to Michaelis
in such a way as "to make it appear that Mr. Macnaught
is condemned" by that critic. I merely refer to that learned
man as sanctioning a particular interpretation of a text
which I had occasion to quote. I refer the reader to my
letter in last Wednesday's Courier, let him judge for himselt
as to the veracity of this statement, and let him observe that
this assertion is made for the purpose of accusing me of false-
hood. I abstain from the obvious retort.

2nd. "Verax" misrepresents the views of Michaelis him-
-Belf, and thus again, is guilty of the very same sort of conduct
(I do not characterise it) with which he charges me. That
critic so far from agreeing with Mr. Macnaught or
" Verax" differs from from him toto cco/o, for (1), his
rejection of Mark and Luke as inspired writers arose from
the fact that inspiration implied in his mind infallibility—
the very thing which " our author" denies. And (2)
Michaelis, in consequence, assigned a lower rank to these
than to the other Evangelists, which Mr. Macnaught does
not, but regards them all as equally fallible, and not to be
depended on,
But 3rd. "Verax" mentions that Michaelis' work is called
by Mr. Hartwell Horne "an inestimable work." This
is logically true, but, intended as it is to make it
appear' that Michaelis' Views respecting Mark and Luke
are sanctioned by Horne it is ethically false. So far
from this, Mr. Horne satisfactorily answers Michaelis'
eccentric view on this matter, and gives a long extract from
Alexander on the Canon in refutation of it ! I I abstain
from comment. I challenge " Verax" to give his real name.—
Yours, Jos. B. LATE.

I know what I am doing, and what I am about to do ; I fine
you £2 for the assault on the officer. Prisoner : Oh, dear !
£2? Mr. Crosthwa.ite : Exactly. Remove the prisoner.
