March 6, Dr. Campbell; qf Seaforth. delivered a lec- ture in the Canada Phesbyterian Church, No. 2, McKillop, on "Canada and Its People." in the first place, the'lecturer sketched the history of the discovery of ,America, arid also of its more prominent discoverers.' In the year 1450, Columbus had rejected the Ptolemaic theory of the earth being a plain, and had. settled the Copernican system in- his miad, though Copernicus had not -yet been, given to the world. He believed that -by, sailipg westward he would come to the east, in other words, that the earth. Was a sphere. After manydelays and. disappoiutments, he set out an ,a voyage of discovery, uns der the aushices of Ferdinand of Spain, and. in due, time planted his cross on one of the II hama islands. He eontends ed- with li, dship aud payertyedurines his eventful life, and in poverty aed ob- scurity he •died, but one-third of the earth is 'his belisk, and coming millions will bless hi name. The lecturer eons showed_ tha -Ginat Britain - also elaimed the honor f having 'a share ih the dis- covery of Ai mica, as the' Northern peat WaS discovdsed by Sebastian Cabot, who sailed- fr m 'Bristol, snider the auspices of Rene VII., of England, and discov- ered and clamed for the Enelish 'Crown Newfam dials& New BruneWiele mil Nova Se tia alone with the Gulf of St. e _ La,wrenc . - He next eefehred to the (Es- coveriee f Cartier. and tra,ceel his'elourse up the S awrence until he arrived. at Tioehela a, hen a large .Indian encamp - MCA n.4\%' tie magnificent city Of -Mon- treal. . s he climbed the beautiful mountain b hind flochelaga, and. when the magnifiers -tit landscapc. barst upon his view, he w. s forced to es claim, " Oh, Loyel Mou t," hence the name of out conimereird Metiemolis, 'whieli has now . s degeperated linta Montreal. ln describ- ing the eeehery around Montreal, the 1 lecturer said h We have stood Nam the cemmit •=ef he Royal Monntain.

The harhor is crowded with ships of every deseription and of all natioes, loading and unloading their cargoes; tellinse us that this is iudeed the rich emporium of the „West. While, further down, in the centre of that noble river, we observe St. Helen's Island, with its guns. its soldiers and its fortress, with the -glori- ous flag of Old England still floating proudly in the breeze. . Further up oar eyes rest on. the Victoria Bridge, the largest and perhaps the most wonderful in the world. . We watch a train ap- proach that long dark tube, it enters; •it is.lost from yiew, as a wild_ animal that enters his caverh in the rocks. Now it makes its exit, -it passes on in tritrinph to its destination, bearing the rich produce of the West to the seaboard. • We lo'ok down, but not ill contempt, upon: the modest unpretending edifice of ,111cCrill University, with its pkahant walks and verdant meade. Surrounding us on all sides is the rich foliage of the the -trees that overtop the mountain., with the feathered songsters of the grove singing the requiem of departed da, while away behind us is the Necropolie, where the rich and great of Montreal are mouldering in the dust of the earth." Tne lecturer adverted. to the explora- tions of Champlain, sketched the amen - actor and labors of the Recolet fathers, and enlarged to some extent upon the eaptere• of Quebec, describing the char- acters of Wolfe and Montcalm. The lecturer did ample justice to the rebel- lion of 1837-8, showing how the family compact which then misruled Canada, in the name of the British Government, were most to blamein the matter. He sketched the career of William Lyme ackeuzie, and showed the beneficial re- sult of Mackenzie's movement, in the ob- taining of respousible government and the abolition of laud and religious mo- nopolies. Then followed the union of the Canadas, mad then Confederation, which obviated the difficulties existing ureler the union by giving each Province the control of its own local affairs. The Doctor then described the extent, climate and varied produetinns of the Detention, showing hew favorably it compared in these respects with European countries. He then referred to the water system of the Dominion, desm•ibingour magnificent lakes and. rivers. The Ottawa, he. said, was larger, longer, and mightier than the Rhine, the Ganges or the Danube. The lectin•er then took up the elements of national greatness, whichhe portrayed in glowing colors. On the subject of possible invasion. he said : "Who are they that for twelve centuries have con- trolled the destinies of our planet? The nten of the North. Whence came the Vandat host that Overran the Roman Empire in the zenith of its power and glory? 'Who. were they? The men of the North. Who were the hosts that under Tamerlane swept the south of Asia like a tempest? The men of the North. Who were tbe 111011 -Oast melee Bruce, hurled lack the English invader ?° The men of the North.

The men of the North. Will future history give us the lie? I trow not. -I feed that in the hands of the meh o•the North our country is safe from Southeah foes:" In conchisicn, the lectuher pointed out that our amb:tion ought' to be to live and die Under the grand old flag of Brit- ain ;that we might always to have jess tiee on our side, or the, god .of battles woultl fig,ht on the bide of Our enemies.
