Some COtilliient ha, heen provoked in English church circles in Ham ilton over the fact that S. Thomas' chinch is the on') Eeiecopal church which will met participate iit the re- vival or "mission," which, es rattled in the Spectator, mill riegin on Thursday, Janu.try 29, and aru ontinue for ten theye. Last Sunday morning Canon Cumin addressed the con gregation uf $t. Thomas' on the enb jeet, and clearly act forth the rea- eons why let had determined to hold aloof frot» the movement. He teok as the text of his sermon John iii., 8. After general remarks, the rev. geetlenian pi oceetled to died direct with the subject of the tniesion. "Cat, i he," In asked, "that your minieter thinks this cougrt gation does nut require any particular rousiiig to put forth greater efforts for Christ and his work 1 What at any rate eau i.e the reason of his not joining the others in this tipper ently good work ? Surely he and the members of the congregation did not deem themselves, so righteuue above their fellow religionists that they could afford to stand aloof and look nii while the others assembled in their respective places of worship and manifested a desire to give themselves to the Lord. I can quite understand such thoughts arising in the minds of those who have deter- mined to enter into the ten days of special service. Again, as a con, gregation, we are open to the charge of unfaithfulnese, listlessness and indifferenee as to our own and oth- ers'apirituel condition." Then, hav- ing read the bishop's paatoral, the canon continued : "Such is the tia. ture of the bishop's letter. 'We ctnnot but all. admit that the tone awl the general bearing of the Reale is in accordance with gospel teach, ing. Why, then, have I kept aloof front this movement ? Surely it is quite in keeping with the spirit of Christianity ? Besides, from its.yery nature, it should seem at least to commend itself to all calling them- selves clergymen. Well, my dear friends, it appears to ate that in this age of much Bible possession, much preaching, much church -presented privileges, the clergy and people have daily, and certainly weekly, put before them all the requirements of the gospel, ;Ind that a special spasmodic presetitetion of the same is utterly unnecessary. Again, .1 gather from the scriptures that any• thing approaching the nature of this proposed IniSsiOit only occurred very rarely, and at times when God had almost entirely been forgotten, as, for example, in the days of Noah, Elijah and John the Baptist. Even Christ Himself made no attempt at an extraordinary presentation of Himself or of His gospel. He knew full well the effect of emotionalism —that it penetrated no deeper than the surface ; hence his preaching was of the simplest and most un- adorned character. When Ile rose above the ordinary natural delivery, it was to denounce, and so make what he said all the stronger His detestation of hypocrisy and un- righteous acting. He never tried to clraw men to Hitn by pathos, nor again by impassioned eloquence. He simply stated the principles of the gospel. He left thee-, as it were, to the calm, cool, deliberate reasonable.. ness of those who heard them. He asked that they be thought over, pondered and allowed to grow, so that in time, when the same began to bear fruit to produce good living, the recipients of the fruit -bearing might not actually know when the work began— that like the e ind, of whieh we cannot tell whence it cometh and whither it goeth, so is the influence of the Spirit upon the heart on man. It seenie to Inc that the work mapped out for the proposed mission is, after all, nothing more nor less than than that which should occupy, and does occupy, the attention of all clergymen daily, and of which they do speak from time to time on Suns days. Then again, our church, the Anglican, recognizing the true value of this mode of imparting religious inetruction, and the dangers of ,creating false impressions, has ar- ranged that during the year two seasons shall he set apart, in each of which to consider and emphasize certain duties. These 1101040na are those of Advent and Lent. Fur» titer, in that admirable portion of our liturgy, the Litany, we are re- minded of what sins we should pray against and for what graces we should pray to cultivate. If, 'then, the ordinary preaching of our church, and the setting forth of our scripturally arranged services fail to arrest the serious attention of those who can hear both, then I arn per- fectly sure a sensational period of preaching and exhorting will aceom- plish nothing of a serious and last- ing good. It will be just as in the case of the rich man in torment, who begged that one from the dead might arise and be allowed to visit his brothers and prevent them from coming down to destruction. You remember the chilling t eply to the request :-1.1f they believe not Moses and the prophets neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead.' Now this I wonld apply, and that not irreverently, in this way :—If the people of our churches will not, pessessing as they do the gospel and its teachings, re pent, have done with sin, and enc deavor to follow out the directions of the Holy Spirit, and live holy lives, neither will tbey do so after hearing the preaching of a stranger for a week. In tittles of let:neut. able ignorance and gross darkness, revivals, exciting services, have been necessary and done good. These occasions have been extremely rare. The permanent, lasting work of the gospel has ever been silent and unobtrusive. Christ Jesus rushed nothing. With all His di- vinity at His command He never at any time created an excitement, produced tears, and had men and women calling out for mercy. Ile was content to gather around him eleven thinking, reasoning, sober- minded men, and on these has grown the (nighty church of today. The kingdom of God cometh not with observation, and I think the reason of this is that to none is the work of grace to bo ascribed but the Holy Spirit. It is not for any to say am of Paid,' 'li ant of CI -plias,' 'I am of Apoltos.' When n change occurs, it must be, em what I am by the grace of God.' EUROPE 1N ICY FETTERS. SEVEN WEEKS OF COLD WEATHER. LONDON, Jan., 16.-11 is now the seventh week of the prevalence of frost throughout the 'United King- dom, with no signs abatetnent of of tho severity of the weather. From John o' Groat's house to Land's End the country is wrapped in snow, and canals and streets are ice -bound. Even a number of tidal rivers are frozefast. For duration of the frost period this is the great- est winter of the country, and in point of severity, the winters of 1813 and 1814 alone exceeded it. Tairs were then held on the Thames, Severn, and Tyne and Tweed. Booths were reared on the ice, and all the mual fair frolics were held thereon. The Thames below Richmond re- mains partially frozen, and is cover- ed with ice floes, which are imped- ing navigation. Above Tedding- ton the ice on the Thames is eight inches thick. Carriers' vans can traverse the river's frozen surface from Sutton Court to Abingdon. Skaters have a free stroteh for many miles above and below Oxford. Numerous deaths have resulted from the extreme cold, several of them at the very gates of work- houses. where groups of poor peo- ple were waiting for shelter. • icebound. Al many ports tugs are actively engaged in efforte to break the ice, but norwith much effect. ispatches from the German ports oF Lubeck, Stettin and Switiernunde all tell of the inaccessibility of their harbors ou account of the ice, and says that navigation has ceased. It Berlin the temperature is at 16 degrees Fahrenheit. The Harz Railway is suow blocked, and the mails usually conveyed by its trains ore uow transported in sleighs. All Bavaria is covered with snow, and in the country between the Danube and the Alps the snow is eighteen inches deep. In certain localities along the Rhine snow drifts are piled iu some spots seven- teen feet high, threatening inunda- tions when they thaw. In Northern Italy snow begau to fall on Wednesday and did uot cease uutil to -day. The inhabitants of that region are suffering acutely, such weather being entirely tur- known to them, and It is feared that numbers of people have perished in the storm.. At Mao bit, Turiu and Milan, railway traius are much delayed on account of the heavy snow fall, Dispatches from Vienua say that communicetion with points south of that city is greatly imped- ed, and that on all railwaye couter- ing there the moment of trains is partially suspended. A telegram from Madrid reports heavy snowfalls in Spain, and says that communication with all the provinces of Spain is difficult. It also reports the prevalence of in- tensely euid weather in Valencia, where orange groves have tbeou swept by the storm, entailing heavy losses to the owners. At Marseilles the hospitals are crowded with sufferers from various affections caused by the cold wea- ther. More enove his fallen to -day in Niarseilles. Dock -laborers there have lit along the quays great fires at which to warm themselves dur- ing working hours. A violent storm, accompanied by hail and snow, and extending a long distance inland, is reported from the sea -port ofAlgiers, North Africa. The:report is coupled with the as- surance that nothing like such a severity of weather was ever known in the region before. Advices front Paris say that the Seine is blockaded with ice near Rouen and that the Saone is frozen above Lyons. Telegrams front Arras and Fimes say that much suffering is being caused at these places by the intensely cold weather, and that a number of persons have been found frozen to death. Snow is still falling in Vienna. Six thousand men are employed in cleaning off the immense mass of snow which is already ou the ground. The passenger traius con- tinue to make trips, but the move- ment of freight trains has been partially snspended. Midland. newspapers declare that thousands of persons in that region ate in a coudition of semi -starvation, many laborers being compulsorily idle, without fires or fool]. Mayors of cities, with the aid of local boards, are directing au organized breaddistribution of and coal, and are smiting relief kitchens, still they fail to reach a host of cases of distress. Numerous instances occur of coroners' inquests on the bodies of peuple found dead in bed, where the verdict is that death resulted front cold and hunger. In every country on the continent there is suffering because of the severe weather. The coasts of Belgium, Holland, and North Ger- many are blocked with ice. In the Scheldt River navigation is nearly at a standstill on account of the ice. At the North German port of Cuxhaven, twenty nine steam. ships are ice -bound. Pilots there are uuable to communicate with vessels on account of ice floes, thus making the harbor inaccessible. Several vessels were struck by immense masses of the floating ice, and their hulls were so badly damaged that the boats rapidly filled with water and soon went to the bottom. In every instance their crews were saved from death only with great difficulty. A number of steamers are drift- ing helplessly between Ottendorf and Brnusbuttel. They have lost their anchors, and have been con- siderably damaged by the floating ice. At 'Limburg navigation is great- ly impeded by the immense blocks of ice which fill the river. The board of navigation is making every effort to keep the river open, and are employinn three of the strongest tugs that could be secured as ice- breakers. Many veasels have also been damaged here by the ice, but no serious accidents have as yet been reported. Al Antwerp 10,090 workmen have been thrown out of employ- ment owing to the unusually severe weather whieh is prevailing at present. The misery caused among the poorer classes in consequence is widespread and intense. The use of dynamite is about to be tried to break the ice at Copen- hagen where several steamships lie 1 BAD TIMES OVER THE BORDER.

One of them wrote from Detroit and the other from Chicago. The Detroity oung man, a mechanic wholused to live iu Hamilton and worked in the Grand Trunk rail- way ehops, writes : "The times are very dull this winter. There are thousands out of employment. The shops where I work are running on short time and very poor wages, and are sometimes shut down. I do not intend to stay in this place another year ; it is too crowded. The poverty and crime of large cities are appalling." The other letter, written from Chicago under date of Jan. 6, is from a young man who held a good position in a Dundas store, butfrho was sure he could improve his prospects by going to Chicago. He writes that he is out of work, that he has been seeking it all over the city, without euccese, and asks the gentleman to whom he writes to Fiend him the address of any person in Chicago who would be likely to give him something to do.

IA Semi,' correspondent writing 011 Lilo 13th Stye:—"Goniderable excitement has been caused here aud iu adjoining districts, by what is k nowt.' as "The Wardswoitti klyetery." The paiticulars of the case ate as follows :—A bout the middle uf September laet, a cum • paistively yuuug Euglishinen, call. iug hinirelf Warclr worth, arrived in the neighborhood of Wallaceburg. He gave it out that he had cousider- able money and wished to put -chase it farm.

The question exciting the people of the district is, "What has become uf the Englishman and Lis money?" Various report e have been circulated, all of which have a tendency to point the finger of suspicion at Hardy and Itis sou. The son, J. H. Hardy, is now work- ing on the tuunel here, and gives a different version of tho affair entirely, He says :—"Wardsworth came to the residence of my father, and gave out, as stated, that he wanted to purchase a farm. He re• mined several days, during which time he drove arouud tho ueighbor- hood considerable in company with myself, inspecting several farms. After Wardsworth had been at my father's for about a week he return- ed one evening from Port Lambton, cutuplaiuing of being ill, would not partake of any supper, and retired to the bedroom which he occupied with me. During the night he went down stairs, complained to my father and mother who had not yet retired, that he was troubled with the dierrlicea, and went outside. Not returning in reasonable time, my father wet out to discover what had become of him, but he was no- where to be seen. On returning to the house my father proceeded to toy bedroom and tried to awaken me, but could not do so. He then searched tuy pockets and found that niy pocket -book, containing $52, had gene with Wordsworth. He again tried to awaken me, but could not do so until 11 o'clock next day. 1 had been chloroformed. When [ found that my money was etolen I started in pursuit of the thief, and after searching for him for several days could get nu clue of his whereabouts." Mr. Hardy has left for Wallaceburg with the intention of summoniug before a magistrate some of the parties who had been using his name too freely in connection with the matter. •• A MURDERESS' CGNFESSION.
