Pi gies Wid to Cod and to His word whether tion hear or whether they will forbear. There ‘tmust bo no letting down of the standard of ‘Christian dut and morals among us. And whon yo come up to the fall measure of the ‘Gospel we shall no longer have men pions In ithe church and mean on the street, nor women Béntle and meek in the prayer meeting but ‘scolds and tyrants at bome. For ourselves ‘wo may say that we believe that hero in this dana there is being nourished and strengthened ‘that manly type of Christianity which is per- meating the nations of tho earth and is causing the thronos and the kingdoas of the Old World and the Now, which havo®xisted for centuries upon fraud and deseption, to totter and to fall. The words of Christ and the influenco of American Christianity weigh more and go further tc-day in directing and shaping tho governments and legislation of the earth than ‘evor beforo, Tho greatest and tho grandest slight which we can imagine here is to sea a band of manly men in whose hearts Christ rules supreme doing manly work for Him, and it will be found to be a universal rule that such men aro the most popular in the church Gnd in the world, Would that we had more of ‘them In our city and in our land. Tho High Commission—Dissersions on the Fishery Question Among the British Mom. bers. The Joint High Commission is said to have had Some very breezy sessions of late, and it is known that even at thelr various dinner — the earnestly interested members of It cannot entirely refrain from discussing the fopics formally before them. It is supposed that the fishery question is the present topic, e Alabama claims not having been reached et, and that England and Canada are fiercely arrayed against one another on the policy or expediency of allowing us ‘the privileges we demand in Canadian raters, The weak and dependent Province joven assumes very bold and defiant language re connection with the matter toward the pro- home government, and letters receivod From prominent Canadians of all parties pro- ‘test that surrendering their rights on “the fishery question would be as wad as ceding the whole Canadian ‘territory to the United States. Of course, ‘our American Commissioners side with the ‘Englishmen against the Canadians in this argument, as it is evident that Yhe English Commissioners are favor- ing our demands, But our members must not be led away by the superficial importance given to the fishery question. They should reserve their great ‘strength for the final battle on the Alabama jdlaims, At the same time they cannot but (observe this want of harmony on the ‘part of the British Commissioners with regret, for the reason that it indicates a possibility of Aisagreement in the final scttlement. The stubbornness of John Bull is proverbial, and it aay possibly happen that one obstinate Eng- lishman in the Joint Commission, like the tra- @itional juryman, may stigk out against ‘all the other mombers, to bring them to his way of thinking or else procure a disagree- ‘ment and a discharge of the Commission. Xt further appears that the English Com- missioners are telegraphing voluminously and frequently to thelr home government, and that they are without any very decisive {nstructions, From this we may very onably conclude that thoy are empowered mainly to settle up with us in some way, almost any that we may please to suggest, and oan afford, therefore, to take comfort in the fact. Muscat and the British Lion. We publish toeday an interesting review of She causes which have led to the lasi of the many revolutions that have taken place in Muscat. The facts stated were gathered on the apt, are absolutely reliable and suggest one or two very obvious reflections, , As will be seen from the article, the British ion in the East, true to his pristine instincts pf ferocity, has been misconducting himself very grossly, What concerns us still more is thay he has, indirectly, greatly damaged our ‘commercial interests by plunging a friendly and independent kingdom into a condition of ruinous anarchy. All this might have been rented by the presence of an American ehip-of-war within a reasonable distance of ‘Muscat, or even by the simple protest of an honest and well-informed United States Consul. Aa the confusion of the civil war the State De- ‘partment perhaps lost sight of Oman; but it would be well for them in the future to keep Track of its affairs. ( The conduct of the British Resident in the Porstan Gulf, Colonel Pelly, affords a curious lew of the vaunted senso of justice of the sAnglo-Indian government, It is well known bn Bombay that Colonel Pelly was appointed ‘Resident because while employed as private ecretary/to a certain great man he acquired a knowledge of valuable secrots, which he ‘would not keep unless paid todoso. Suchan sppointment naturally leads to corruption, like that whispered against him, The home government of Great Britain would do yrell to strictly inquire into all the charges now made. It is satisfactory, however, to note that Thoorkee, the new Sultan, will probabiy be a just and good ruler. DEDICATION OF A ROMAN CATHOLIC CRURCH. BAa.tiMoreE, March 26, 1871. ..

Fish, + Postmaster General and Mrs. Creswell, the Spanish Minister and Mrs. Roberts, Sir John A, Macdonald and Lady Macdonaid, Earl De Grey, Professor Mon- tague Bernard, Sir Stafford H.

On Tuesday the British Commissioners will pay A VISIT 10 MOUNT VERNON, and on Saturday next they imtend participating in a fox hunt in Maryland, Notwithstanding it is announced that the Commissioners are progresstpg favorably and that their deliberations are harmo- nious, there are good grounds for believing diiier- eutly. During the past week they have had some RATHER STORMY SESSIONS, and it was diMcult for some of the mem- bers to retain thelr equanimity, The Britisir and American Commissioners are in each other's company almost constantly. After the adjournment of their business meetngs they frequently confront each ovher in the evening at the 27, 1871.—TRIPLE § SHUNT. | of settlement, it is understood that they entertain have assumed there ta little immed! of the United States consenting to ar tiSt WHl meet their wishes, ‘The Proposition to RENEW THE OLD ReCIPROUITY TREATY ate probability arrangement ; wonld now hardly have the support of a single | leading man in Corgress, and the mere rumor that the Commission migif recommend some auch are rangement has created considerable comment, While the Canadians have slyted that they are wille ing to grant us the frecdom of Ma isheries aud the free navigation of the St. Lawrencé jf we will ad- mit upon reciprocal terms, free of Auty, gratns, lumber, cattle, vegetables, dairy prodace, salt and fish and also throw open our coasting trade to Canadian vessels, they will not consent to haye manufactures thus interchanged, for they hold that as they obtain thelr revenue from duttes on imports they would be compelied to tax English manufac- tures white AMERICAN MANOPACTURES WOULD BE VRE & proposition which in their present condition of dependence on England could not be entertained. On the other hand, the English Board of Trade have asssumed the ground that any arrangement made between Canada and the United States by which the Canadian tariif is lowered upon Ameri- can manufactures must equaily affect the admission nglish productions into Canada, A discussion | aken place between the Canadian and English | governments upon this point, the Canadians endea- voring to show that, under the reciprocity treaty of 1854, England svt up no such pretentious, and that that forms a precedent for them tn concluding any other arrangement of a similar character with the United States. The English government DID Nov CONSENT fo this view, but on the contrary marntained that No arrangement can be made with the United States im which England caanot equally partteipare. ‘The different points connected with the fishery mat- ter and the yeneral question of the relations be- tween the United States and her Majesty's pos- sessions in| North America have Leen pretty | thoroughly discussed, and while 1% 13 ore tained that) =the Commissioners have not yet arrived at any definite conclusion as to a basis the Hope that the free interchange of oplotoas which their deliberation ve afforded will FVENTUATE IN 60ME AGKEEMENT. While the Commissioners tiemselyes incitne to this opinion, there are others, Who ¢laiin to under. stand the questions at issue as well as the Com- missioners, who are still sceptical about any satisfactory adjustment. THE Si. DOMINGO commussiON. Arrival of the ew Departure of ington, Heo ‘on Charleston—Thoe the Commissioners for Wash- CHARLESTON, March 28, 1871. The United States steamer Tennessee, with the St. Domingo Commissioners on board, arrived off the bar at daylight this morning. Tho Commissioners and all the party except the scientific corps came ashore and started at once for Washington, at which place they will be due to-morrow night at nine o'clock, The Tennessee left at. once for New York dinner table or a party, Conversations between individual members of the Commission touching the questions at issue sometimes occur on such occasions, so that consideration of the relations between the two countries is now NOT EXCLUSIVELY CONFINED to the council chamber. Al the reception given by Sur Edward Thornton the other evening, the sossion ofthe Joint Commission on that day having been somewhat breezy, it was remarked that Earl De Grey and Mr. Fish became completely absorbed in conversation upon the deliberations of the day, The British Commissioners are in constant tele- graphic communication with the bome goverument, and their telegraph expenses are said to be enor- mous. Earl be Grey is recogmzed as the ruling spirit among his colleagues, but it is understood that HIS PMBARRASSMENTS are augmented by the lack of prompt and positive instructions, indicating indecision on the part of the home government. Sir Staiford Northcote, who represents the tory clement, 13 decidedly indisposea to swerve from any of the positions heretofore as- sumed by the British government. He stands up for what the aristocracy assume to be THE RIGHTS ¢ De Sir Join A, Macdonald is the champion of Cana- dian interests, and it {3 said that hus pertinacity in this respect does not reccive the cordial concurrence ofsome of the other British Commissioners, who are disposed to consider the rights of England of more itaportance than THE LOCAL INTERESTS OF THE CANADIANS. The Canadians are unyielding, the English are unyielding, and so are the Americans Well in- formed pt ns ere, Whose judgment 1s more than mere inference, believe that the points of difference are So great as to be all but irreconcilable, and they do not see now the Commission can come to a satis- factory settlement, At least two of the American } Commissioners have not hesitated to express thei: selves as dountful of the probability of any of THE QUESTIONS BEING ADJUSTED. The fishery question, which has taken up so much of theirtime, has not advanced a singie stage toward a practical solution, for it is found that Canada, helding to her three-mile limitation as an undoubted right, is not disposea to consent to any arrangement of that matter which does not pro- vide for an entire revision of the trade regulations between the two countries, and that in this respect the position taken by Sir John A. Macdonald is acqui- esced in by his colleagnes. It is understood that CONSTANT COMMUNICATIONS have been passing between the Canadian govern- ment and Downing street, the Dominion authorities holding that under the Imperial Dominton act, “The Organic Law,” Engiand is debarred from insisting upon any arrangement of the fishery question incon- sistent with the views and desires of the Canadian government. It 1s held that this-is a question of much more importance than might be supposed at first, a6 1t involves either an acknowledgment of the inviolability of that law, or else tt would be con- strued by the Canadians as violative of the LABERTIES GUARAN ‘0 THEM BY THE ACT OF Sir Jobn A, Macdonald takes the ground that the three mile limit is as much @ matter of sovereignty with Canada as ihe possession of any portion of her territory on land, and that If England were to insist upon Canada giving up this sovereignty she might as weil lay claim to the actual soli of Canada, and the personal government there would be NOTHING BETTER THAN A FARCE, Letters have been received here from leading men, without distinction of party, in Canada, declaring that under no circumstances will they submit to be overruled in what they claim tobe their rights by the action of any Jotut Commission, and that IP NECESSARY VEY WILL APPRAL to the people of Kugiand. to have their rights pro- tected. inthe old reciprocity treaty it was provided that the convention should not go ‘uto effect without the consent of the several provinces affected, The Canadians contend that their present form of gov- ernment, so far from weakening their rights, has strengthened them, and ihat England might just as well declare THE TERRITORY CEDTD at once to the United States as to violate tnetr con- siitutional privileges by abandoning the fisheries, nuless upon a censideration freely approved py Canada, Its known that about a year ago Mr, Fish fayitea Mr. Thornton to informally discuss the questions pending between the United States and Canada, and suggested that he belleved an arrange- ment could be made by which lumber, coal, salt and fish might be admitted free into the United ; States, or at least ata low rate of duty, provided Canada gave us THE FREEDOM OF THY CANALS of the St. Lawrence and the Inshore fisheries, This proposition was communicated to the Governor General of Canada and considered by the Privy Council there, The rest was that the Canadian government informed Mr. Thornton shat they ‘outed, } A Specialty upon 2 proposiiton of that Kiud as wholly insuMecions, and subsequently both Sir Francs Hineks, the Fiance Minister, and Mr, Tupper, the Prest gent of tae Counell, denounced tn the Canadian, Parla- ment the American proposition as PRARADING AND INSULTING, ‘This being the cae it ts inferred | “that ware the Gang uans wsintala the position tuey | direct, and will be due there about Saturday night, Allon board the steamer are perfectiy weil.
