The Rev. Dr Walli-s delivered the second of his lectures on" The Religious Signs of the Times" in the Newton Athenaeum on Sunday evening' ; but one of the most extraordinary signs, which the worthy doctor omitted to lay sufficient stress upoD, was that which has probably had a more far-reaching and deeply permeating effect on tho social contentment and progress of the city than anything else on record. Indeed, we are ■amazed that Dr Wallis could be so remiss in the discharge of his duties as a Christain Minister as not to draw more prominent attention to the matter. We refer to the unprecedented cheapness and transcendental ibeauties of the boots and shoes turned out by those eminent manufacturers, Messrs. Garrett Bros. We tru&t the rev. gentleman will make amends. Work, for the night cometh. " Consider the lillies how they grow ; they toil not, neither do they spin ; and yet I say unto . you that Solomon, in all his glory, was not arrayed like one of lihese." And then consider the clients of Messrs. Munro and Milligan, how they appear gorgeously arrayed in all the beauty of art — the glass of fashion, and the mould of form — they spoil not, neither do they •cost much tin, and yet I say unto you that Moses or Solomon, with all the boasted resources of their establishment, cannot array a man like Munro and Milligan, whose Deferred Payment System has won the hearty encomiums of H.B.H. the Prince of Wales, all the ■crowned head of Europe, the eminent statesmen, and Mr W. J. Hurst.
