Loru GfduVIIe, III Tue upper house, told
a very good story Of the Canal, to illus
trate, as he said, the French Proverb that
" Man proposes, and God ~disposes." Lord
Palmerston opposed NJ. de Lesseps' pro-
ject, and this so excited the French that
they ran to subscribe for shares. One
gentleman came to NJ. de Lesseps for
shares in a railway in the island of Sweden,
to whom NJ. de Lesseps replied,-"It is
not a railway, it is not an island, it is not
Sweden; but it is a canal, it is an isthmus
and it is Suez'-"Never mind" said this
enthusiastic gentleman, lit is to spite the
English, and it is all the same" Those
worthy people, who thus spent their mo-
ney to benefit England, which has now
four-ifths Of the traffic, deserve all our
gratitude.

A man named David Jewell, q dealer in
old china in Oxford Street, was tried at the
Central Criminal Court for receiving some
china stolen from Mr.. Savarin Sailing, q
connoisseur in the article. There was no
doubt that Jewell bought the china, aud
bought it cheap, and tried to sell it dear,
and the defence was that hits of that sort
were customary in the trade. Mr.. Watson,
a dealer, said he bought q pair Of Chelsea
vases for 92 and sold them to Mr.. Bohn
for EGO, which is pleasant news for Mr..
Bohu. Mr.. Joseph Welch bought q beau
tiful considerable for 92, which he sold
to Baron Rothschild for $3.50, and " men
toned other cases Of the same character"
Mr.. William Henry Libbis bought q cup
for Is, and sold it for IS. Mr.. John
Eyles remembered - a Bristol tea-service
bought for 16s., aud sold shortly after
wards for ego. Another witness, quoted
by Mr.. Parry, mentioned case where q
piece of china bought for 92 was sold for
410O, and then resold for G1,50O, the
trade, in fact, having in it a large gam
bling element. The experienced dealers,
if we may believe Mr.. Wertheimer, the
most experienced dealer examined, are
we'll aware Of this, and expect the mania
to cease presently. Moral,-if you have
scarce china, sell it; if you have none,
wait ten years before you buy any at any
price over o pound.

Mr.. Disraeli's reply TO Lord Hartiug-
ston III the Commons was explicit and eE-
t%ectiye. In relation to the FIRST Fugitive
Slave Circular, he admitted his response
bjIity, although he had never seer it, but
he was mot there to defend it for IA mo-
mcnt." "The country has condoned the
error, and | need not dwell upon it,"
The second Circular was prepared very
carefully, under the immediate superinten-
dence Of the Lord Chancellor, and repre-
sents the exact state of the law, so far as it
ia possible to embody it in such i%nstruc-
tions. The necessity for a Circular arose
out Of the personal liability of our COM
manders for pecuniary damages in the
Courts of slave-holding countries where
they have ventured to protect the slave
against the master who had a proprietary
interest in his services. A Commission
would be useful to find out the state of
the law in other countries on this subject,
and to carry on or suggest negotiations
for its modification. Also, the inquiry of
an impartial Commission would satisfy the
popular mind on a subject on which it is
imperfectIy informed, and not a little
suspicious and excited.

With regard to the Eastern question,
Mr.. Disraeli pointed out that it was the
express wish of the Porte that we should
not stand aloof, if the other European
Powers pressed the Austrian proposals
upon it. And on this subject it was no.
ticeable that Mr.. Disraeli's language lean
ed as much as possible to the side of the
Porte. On the Suez Canal, he pointed out
with great force the difficulties, nay, al
most the deadlock, to which the share
holders had brought its administration for
want of our having a political influence in
its management; the immense moral ad-
vantage which a large interest, even though
deferred, would give US in pressing reason
able views and the danger that the Sui
tan or the Khedive would not be always
as able to help US, if we do not secure our
own hold of the Canal, as they were on the
occasion of the late dispute with the Di-
~rectors. And he announced that in point
of fact negotiations not yet complete are
going on which will, in all probability,
give the British Government al adequate
representation in the Directorate of the

The Right of Persecution Avowed and
Defended in New York.

A learned professor in a New England
College. who knew everything above this
world and very little in it, undertook in
the absence OF his practical wife to man
age the putting down Of q carpet in the
parlor. He got il into all sorts Of
shapes, and. at his wits ends. was on his
hands and knees in the middle of the
floor, when his wife appeared on the
scene. Lifting up both hands in min
gled mirth and horror, she exclaimed
"Well, / didn't know there was such a
fool e
Such was our exclamation, word for
word, when we read in last weeks Ro.
man Catholic Tablet, it's defence Of its
proposition. there ia no existing relig-
ious community so tolerant. in the true
sense of the term, as the Catholic
Church.
That sentence we have for several
weeks repeated in this journal, that the
stupendous falsrhood might be conspic-
uous tn the world, and with some faint
hope that its extravaglnt ab>uTdity
might be- brought home to the conscience
OF the man who could gravely invent and
print such transparent nonsense. Other
newspapers took it up; and from one
end Of the country to the other, the
and latest illustration OF the sublime
impudence OF Romish writers. But the
Tablet, its author, kept silence. wisely

great. il was necessary to say something
by way of de'ense or apology 1t has

he put his foot in il. Thus:
Now, in the first place, we have the
right TO assert that there is no such
word in the English language as 'intolrr-
ance 1t is true it is extensively used,
and that custom may legitimize the in.
PRODUCTION from time to time of fresh
words. But il cannot, or at least ought
not TO, legitimize words that are unmean-
ing, or have not a definite me tning or,
above all, that have false one. Upon
all these grounds We demand that the
/ application OF the word intolerance for
admittance into the English language be
perrmptorily rejected
How happy these hateTs of toleration
would be il the word intolerance were
expunged from the English language

A Backwoods Story.

Uncle Walter was just as fond Of tell

fond Of listening and this is one Of them
A Young married couple whom we will
call Mr.. and Mrs. Edwards. had settled =
few years ago on what was then an i'm
mense forest, on the shores Of Lake On
tario. They made a clearing which they
converted into n small farm, and built y
hut which in a few years gave place to u
more substantial log house: aud there
they lived, with still few wild cats and
bars for neighbors. while other neigh
bors, more to their liking. were slowly n
creasing in number around them when
this thing happened.
They at that time had four children.
and the name Of the eldest was Maria.
She was aged twelve. The other three
were hoys-Edward. nine; George, six
and the baby, not quite old enough TO
walk
One afternoon the children were at
play, when Edwards was chopping in the
border OF the woods, few rods from the
house
The wind had blown over a large elm
tree. tearing il up by the roots. which had
lifted a large mass of earth with them.

the children a pleasant shelter from the

behind the roots their stable.
