begun, to put McGill College upon a footing suitable to the place it occupies, and still less that we seek to depreciate the worth of scientific and literary labour, if we take the present opportunity of suggesting that endowments are, though very useful, not the only things, necessary for Colleges.We believe that all the money that can be collected and probably more than will be collected, will be most usefully employed in McGill College.We b îlieve also that professors, if they honestly devote their time to their work are not likely to be too well renumerated ; for we assuredly estimate their services more highly than those rendered by men in many other professions who yet have, and we fear will have more solid proofs of the public esteem than are likely to fall to the lot of teachers of literature or science.Therefore we rejoice in the splendid liberality which we have had to record in connection with this matter, and trust that the respect entertained for our city as well as the intellectual culture and refinement of our youth will be augmented by a subscription exceeding any' thing which has yet been anticipated.At the same time we remember that the wise man saw danger on the side of riches as well as on that of poverty, and assuredly permanent large endowments of masterships and professorships, judging from the experience of our nativ country, have not been without drawbacks very much diminishing their apparent benefit It has happened too frequently that a fixed and ample income settled on the office of a teacher has encouraged sloth in competent men, and perhaps, still more frequently it has led to appointments of men second rate talent.If the advantage of the position of Professor depend merely upon the nomination of a board of managers there will always be personal motives mixed up with the appointment.If on the other hand it depend upon the efficiency of the man, there is no danger of second fate persons obtruding themselves where none but the highest talent can hope for great success.In Cockburn\u2019s account of his times there is a good illustration of this in the account ho give us of the Edinburgh pulpit at about the commencement of the Century.The ministers were generally though respectable men, inert as pastors, and dull as preachers.They were appointed by a body which was under no very direct popular control and who put in such candidates as could bring the greatest amount of parental, fraternal, or friendly interest to bear, very careless whether the man with most friends among the appointing body were the best man to fill the place.One thing alone restored to the Edinburgh Churches that talent which patronage had banished.The Town Council, who appointed the preachers, required the pecuniary assistance derived from the pew rents.Hence they found it necessary at length to seek out able men, and Dr.Andrew Thompson was the first of that school of Scottish divines which, for the last forty years, has illustrated the Edinburgh pulpit.If these churches had been richly endowed, the soporific order of clergymen might have gone on succeeding one another till the present date.It was the necessity for talent that brought it forward.AYe might give scores of instances, as well in Scotland as in England, of the danger which,without suitable checks, may lie on the side of such comfortable provision as shall place the officers of a public institution, or any of them, outside of the constant and ready pressure of public opinion.It may well be doubted whether the two great Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, excellent though they be in many respects, have penetrated English society with their influences, as completely as they would have done if their support depended as much upon the living age as it does upon the endowments of William of Wykcham Cardinal Wolsey, and the rest of the benefactors for the souls of whom the Protestant gownsmen ought still daily to offer up orisons.To return to Scotland, we have the same fact well illustrated in the difference of the courses followed by the two Universities of St.Andrew\u2019s and Edinburgh.The first possesses great wealth ; in the second the professors in general have salaries, if we recollect right, of only some £100 to £150.But while St.Andrews fell into a state of sloth and degradation, having few students, and selling its degrees, Edinburgh was crowded with students, with a staff of professors more brilliant, probably, than has ever been assembled in any one seat of learning, at least since those middle ages, when centres of intellectual light shone the more for the breadth of the surrounding darkness, and when the youth of all Europe begged their ways to Paris or Prague or Oxford to sit at the feet of the Gamaliels who taught in those famous resorts.\u2014 It must not be supposed that the Professors at Edinburgh were less honorably rewarded than those of St.Andrews ; only a better class of men, from the nature of things, found their way to the Edinburgh Chairs, and then worked to maintain a position which conferred a handsome income, as well as the highest and most agreeable social distinction.What they lost in endowments they made up in fees from the crowds of students who flocked to their lectures.This is mentioned here in illustration of a principle, not in exemplification of a rule to be followed always and everywhere.We need not expect to see students enough at McGill College for many years to come to maintain a professorial staff by fees merely ; and in the meantime it must not be said of any of the excellent men already engaged, \u201c they are fed with praise but starved with cold.\u201d All that we would do is to warn the Governors, while making their arrangements, against placing comfortable little incomes at the disposal of any Committee who may come after themselves, without a fair provision for the wholesome stimulus of public opinion, to prevent what is meant for a public service degenerating to a Very odious description of private property.Among the ladies of England one of the present fashions is the establishment, in the drawing room, of an aqua-vivarium, a minature glazed ocean, in which living favourites of marine origin, whose acquaintance has been made at the sea side, are brought up to town, and occupy the same place in the social economy, which was held by the canary birds in the præ-scientific ages.But in each aqua-vivarium a certain mass of sea weed is required, whose spontaneous action keeps the salt water from putrefying.There is nothing tends more constantly aud directly to social putrefaction, than corporate wealth, and, therefore, while glad of the promise of ample funds, which now seems to smile on our McGill College friends, we would respectfully remind them of the necessity of some purifier, which, if possible, shall be like the sea-weed, self-acting, and constant in its operations.extent has been ground at the St.Catharines Mills, and sold as Canadian Flour the present season ; and that you may be able to make good y our charge in this respect\".If - yous can, I hereby pledge mysetj to pay you one Dollar per Barrel for aeery Barrel of Flour you can prove has been manufactured this season by the St, Catharines Millers, (up to the date of my lastletter) over and above 5,000 aud this out of over 150,-000 barrels\u2014that is to say for every barrel beyond 5,000 you thus prove I will pay you one Dollar.Is this proposition sufficiently clear, and will you accept it?As you admit the falsity of your statements as to the \u201c pressing of the St.Catharines Flour on the Montreal Market the present season,\u201d nothing more need be said on that subject.The other Millers of St.Catharines and Welland Canal can speak for themselves, whilst for myself, I am glad you allow me the \u201c fullest opportunity of explanationj\u201d through your columns.To begin, then, I have only to say that you charge that \u201c Western wheat to a large extent has been ground at the St.Catharines Mills, and sold as Canadian Flour,\u201d and that \u201c the Welland Canal Millers have done so for years past,\u201d so far as I am concerned, is not true.For the past fourteen years, since I commenced business for myself, I have purchased the principal part of the wheat I have ground in Canada, mostly in the valley of the Grand River ; during the past five or six years I have bought from 100,000 to 300,005 bushels per year, and with the exception a cargo of Wiscon sin wheat, ground on commission in 1849, and half one small cargo last season.I have never ground Western wheat at my mills.This season I have not had a pound of Western wheat in my Mills, and the same is true of the \u201c Law-rie,\u201d \u201c Port Dalhousie,\u201d and \u201c Union\u201d Mills, up to last week ; while the \u201c Lincoln,\" \u201cWelland Canal\u201d and \u201c Grantham\u201d Mills have not, I believe, had more than 15,000 or 16,000 bushels of Western wheat altogether this season, up to the same period.I hope this statement is sufficiently (plain, and that your assertion to the contrary is not \u201cfreely admitted.\u201d It is quite true that one of our Millers is now (after having ground Canada wheat all the season at little or no profit,) grinding several cargoes of Western wheat, but which cost him at his mills more than $1,05 per bushel, as you have it.But this Western wheat, unlike that of former years, is sound and of good quality, and such as the Millers in the State of New York have been making what is there termed \u201c straight state\u201d and ordinary superfine ; but will not make superfine No.1 Montreal inspection I expressed a regret in my last that we had ground one bushel of Canada Wheat the present season, because the remand for Canada wheat [owing to the inferior quality of the wheat in Europe its being required there for mixing] had raised the price here, so as to leave the Miller little or no profit for manufacturing White Canada wheat ; whilst had we ground Western [which appears, this year at least, to have given satisfaction] we should have done a better business, and done precisely what has been done for us on the other side You are evidently not much of a Miller, or you would not have said \u201c Did the St.Catharines Millers express on the head of every barrels of Flour they turned out the name and character of the wheat from which it was made\u201d &c.\u2014To do this we should each require a printing press and type.Will you have the goodness to inform us where this is practised, beyond making use of the terms \u201cfrom Ohio wheat\u201d from Canada wheat,\u201d &e., which amounts to just nothing as there are many kinds of Ohio and Canada wheat, as well as different methods of manufacturing Flour, &c.; and besides, Flour dealers progress, and I believe do know some-! thing of the quality of the article by examining it.It is for this purpose that an Inspector is appointed to examine and decide as to the quality, which would not be neccessary, if painting or printing on the head of every barrel the \u201c the name and character of the wheat from which it was made,\u201d as you suggest, would answer the purpose and satisfy the buyer that he had what he bargained for.If the future prosperity of the country depend upon the character of its products,\u201d as you say it dose, it strike me very forcibly that your publishing to the world such mis-statements as are contained in your issues of the 20th and 26th ultimo, as to the products of St.Catherines, will not help us much.I was aware that your paper was often charged with political unfairness and dishonesty ; but I did not believe you were capable of making such an attack as you have made upon a large and important branch of trade, as is the Milling interests of this part of Canada.You ask, has it never occurred to Mr.Phelps why it is that \u201c milling property all over the country is becoming deteriorated in value, and the business becoming a losing one.\u201d &c.Yes, it has occurred to me, but the reason is not \u201c that a greater part of the flour manufactured for export in Canada, is of such inferior grade as to find slow sate,\" and \u201c that so much mixing has been practice,\u201d &c., but simply from the working out of the Reciprocity measure between Canada and the United States.The quality of the flour manufactured in Canada has had nothing whatever to do in the matter.This you may not believe, but ii is nevertheless true, and a little more time will show it clearly enough to all in the trade.The millers af Canada know it already to their sorrow.The writer of this has manufactured some hundreds of thousands of barrels of flour in Canada of the same quality, and made from the same description of wheat as that made the past season, and ho knows whereof he speaks in this matter.It is sheer nonsense to say that the depreciation in the value of milling property in Canada is owing to millers manufacturing poorer ,/ZoKr now than they did under formerTaws.I now come to the closing paragraph of your article im- to-day\u2019s issue, wherein you say,\u2014 \u201c Knowing that the amended inspection was established to raise and give a distinctive character to our flour, and believing that this would be of the greatest possible importance to the country at large, and especially to the milling interests, we referred to the matter,\u201d &c.&c.Now, it strikes me that before launching out into such wholesale abuse and misrepresentation of the St.Catharines millers, aud the quality of their flour, it would have been as well-had you taken some trouble and pains to know what description of wheat they had been grinding during the past season.You first say that the \u201cpressure of St.Catherines flour on the market was the cause of the decline that recently took place in Montreal.\u201d This point you now say you are willing to admit was not correct.You then endeavor to show that Western wheat to a large extent has been ground at the St.Catherines mills, and sold as Canadian flour.How well you have shown this to be a fact let the public judge, or accept my offer of a dollar a barrel for all the flour you can show has been manufactured this season, up to the date of my last letter, from Western (Chicago or Milwaukie) wheat over 5000 barrels, out of about 150,000 barrels.I had forgotten to refer to that part of your article where you state,\u2014\u201c Now, however, we may say that all the flour from St.Catherines this year has not passed the amended inspection as No.1.\u201d You say,\u2014We are cognizant of a particular transaction of several hundred barrels where a guarantee for No.1 was given which upon inspection turned out No.2, and we have heard of several other operations of the same character.\u201d Now, if anything were wanting to show who wrote or instigated these several articles in your paper, reflecting on the St.Catharine\u2019s millers, &c., this last paragraph informs us, and notwithstanding you choose to assume their authorship, the writer of this is well aware that the two previous ones at least were either written or dictated by another.If you know of any St.Catharine\u2019s flour that has not stood inspection in Montreal or elsewhere, why not tell the public (whose interests you appear so anxious to protect) what brand it was ?No miller in St.Catharines will deny or disown his brands.The writer has supplied between 50,000 and 60,090 barrels this Fall, and he would like to be informed in this matter, as you appear to understand all about it.Perhaps you refer to some 287 barrels purchased by a certain Toronto Broker, and made from \u201c Spring Wheat,\u201d which accidentally got mixed, and was shipped in the absence and without the knowledge of the writer, and did not, I believe, pass No.1 : other than that, I will give you another dollar a barrel for all flour shipped by myself that you can prove did not pass No.1, and I believe I can saythe same of every Miller in St.Catharines.I have before stated that \u201c almost any kind of sound wheat will [not] make superfine of sufficiently good appearance to pass No.1 Montreal inspection.\u201d The ignorance of the person who made this and other equally ridiculous statements, is only equalled by his impudence in attempting to inform the public on a subject he knows nothing about.You say in the same issue that \u201c we are told by gentlemen in whose veracity we have every confidence, who have exported a great deal of flour to Liverpool and Glasgow f/iis year, that St.Catharine\u2019s flour has invariably sold at 2s per barrel less than other Canadian brands.\u201d Now this may possibly be the case with some flour ground at one of our Mills last fall or this spring, and exported this year but it is not true [and I challenge you to prove itjjwith respect to any flour made in St.Ca-tharines since last harvest.Why not give us the brands that sold in Liverpool and Glasgow at 2s per barrel below other Canada brands ?But this assertion is of a piece with all the rest.\u2014 Were it true that some one brand of the St Catharine\u2019s Mills Flour sold at 2s below other Canada brands, I ask whether it is right or fair not to name those brands ?For every barrel of my brands flour manufactured since last harvest, (except the 287 from spring wheat above referred to) that you will prove was sold at 2s per barrel under other Canada brands of same quality or grade, in either Liverpool or Glasgow, I will pay you one dollar more.Your fling at the St.Catharine\u2019s Millers,when you say in your issue of the 2Gth ult., that \u201c we cannot help it if the St.Catharine\u2019s Millers and their Brokers are offended at us for stating the truth,\u201d &c., we can afford to let pass.I am not aware that the St.Catharine\u2019s Millers have this year employed any brokers.They have consigned, their flour to agents in Montreal, Boston and New York, and have sold it without any \u201c pressing of the market,\u201d and it is this factj V Tokonto and Montreal.\u2014 We observe, by the Toronto papers, that at the Annual Dinner of the St.Andrew\u2019s Society, in that city, Mr.Rice Lewis having proposed ns a toast, \u201c The hospitable citizens of Montreal,\u201d and made some eonijdimcntary allusions to our late Celebration festivities, Mr.John Leeming, of this city,\u2014after the toast had been received and drank with the utmost enthusiasm,\u2014was called upon to respond to it.ile said Although unexpectedly called upon, he would say, in reference td the late celebration given by the citizens of Montreal, that whatever were its short-comings, they had at least done the best they were able to do.As a member of the Committee, and as one who bad taken an active part in the management, ho would say that they had been extremely anxious, and had done their best to ensure that everything should go on happily and safely, and particularly that no personal inconvenience should be experienced-.He was happy to say that he believed Montreal had got great credit abroad for that display, and he believed would reap great advantages from it.He spoke of the growing unity of feeling between the two sections of the Province, and of their increasing prosperity.The success and happiness of each affected to a great extent and were dependent upon that of the other.\u201d Mr.Leeming paid a high compliment to the enterprise and industrial energy of the inhabitants of Canada West, and concluded by drawing a glowing and eloquent picture of the great agricultural and other capabilities of this section of the Province, and of the brilliant future open to it.Mr.Leeming took his seat amid great applause.The Natural History Society.\u2014An extraordinary Meeting of the Members of this Society was convened on Monday evening, for the purpose of sanctioning the amended Constitution and By-Laws, which have now for several months been waiting confirmation.The Act of Incorporation, however, requires that a meeting for such a purpose shall be attended by not less than twenty-eight ordinary Members, and there being but a fourth of that number present, no business could he done.We think it is really a pity that the Members of this Socle iy should be so lukewarm iu its interests, and so negligent in their attendance at its Meetings.\u2014 Considerable dissatisfaction has been evinced by some of them at the intended removal of the Museum to the neighbourhood of McGill College.But they have themselves to blame.If they will not attend to their duties, and enable the few who are anxious that the Society should succeed to carry on its business, it is little wonder these latter seek to go eftewhere, and to place the Institution under the wing of the University, whose governors and friends would interest themselves in its prosperity.Considerable expense has been incurred by advertising this meeting as required by law.The Society is not so flourishing in funds as to enable it to throw its money away for no purpose.We believe it is intended to apply directly to Parliament for the required alterations, and not again trust to the hopeless chance of assembling together twenty-eight members.up to the expectation of its members, and they might add, of the community.(Signed) Wm.Rodden, Chairman.Montreal, Dec.8, 1856.1 ntroducing an educational system.He began detailed, it is to be understood that

Chair.The Rev.Chairman read the report, from which we make some extracts : THE GIRLS' INSTITUTE AT POINTE AUX TREMBLES.\\ t the time of our last Annual Meeting, Madame Moret had been for a short time in charge of this school.It was a position, however, which, owing to other duties and claims upon her, she had consented to retain only until some one could be found to occupy it permanently.She, therefore, withdrew from her post of usefulness on the arrival of Madame Berjon, in the month of May.The Annual Examination of the Institutes, which occurred in the first -week of May last, was one of unusual interest.In the Girls\u2019 School much proficiency was shown in writing and drawing, as well as in needle work.The Bible exercises\u2014details of which were published in a circular issued soon after by the General Society\u2014offered, as usual, the greatest interest.The girls gave intelligent and discriminating answers to several questions addressed to them by the teachers and others present, showing a good acquaintance with Scripture texts, and proving that great care had been bestowed upon this, the most essential branch of their training.Madame Berjon has for several years followed the profession of teacher, botli in Europe and the United States.She is a lady of accomplishments, devoted piety, and eminent qualifications for teaching.We trust that God has raised her up for great usefulness in that School, so long the scene of Madame Tanner\u2019s labors and Christian devotedness The School at the present time numbers thir-iy-three pupils.Thirteen of these have been received since the last report.In addition to the instructions of Madame Berjon, the classes receive instructions from her daughter, also an experienced teacher, who has recently arrived from the States.Mr.Vernon continues his valuable services in the School.He has also instructed, for several months, a Bible-class on the Sabbath, and has been untiring is his efforts for the spiritual improvement of the pupils, Madame Berjon speaks favorably of the interest taken by the girls in their studies, and especially in that of the bible.She requires them to prepare each Sabbath an abstract of the sermon heard, and questions them upon its different points.On each Monday, in audition to the daily scripture lesson, she has appointed an hour for answering questions on the bible, and says that time fails for answering o n the same day all their inquiries, so interested are they in the exercise.Several of the younger pupils asked permission to hold a prayer-meeting among themselves, and gave as a reason for the request, that they wished to ask of God pardon for their sins, and to entreat of him a new heart.As an instance of their awakened conscientiousness in reference to their duties, it might be stated that one of the older pupils being recently reproved by Madame Berjon for an offence against the rules of the school, came a day or two after to beg forgiveness, feeling, as she said, that in disobeying lier teacher she had disobeyed God.NUNNERIES.The want of an institution where young ladies can acquire a knowledge of the French language, without being brought into contact with the nunneries, is deeply felt ; and the establishment of such a school, in connection with the institute at Pointe-aux-Trembles.would be hailed with satisfaction.From the last Report of the Superintendent of Education, we perceive that convents in Lower Canada in 1853 numbered 44, and in schools was likely to do more than any other thing to overturn Paganism and the religion of Mahomet.It was necessary not only that the missionary should teach the truth as it is iu Jesus ; but that christiaa sentiments should be dif- inand of their respective Corps.By Command of His

New Year\u2019s Eve.The proverbial elegance and decorum of Masonic Balls would alone be an attraction to all lovers of these assemblies ; but when added to the fact of its being held at this elegant and comfortable house, we predict a most brilliant affair.Mr.Daley has pledged himself to serve up the refreshments and supper in a style hitherto unsurpassed at any previous Bali, and is determined to spare no exertions to make it the Ball of the season.St.Patrick\u2019s Society.\u2014 AAre understand that arrangements are being made by the Committee of the above Society to have a Grand Soiree on Tuesday evening, the 13th January.As this will be the first soiree under the management of tlie new Society, it is intended to make it the grandest affair of the season.Our Irish friends are proverbial for the creditable manner in which they get up these entertainments, and we have no doubt but this affair will pass oft\u2019 with eclat.Montreal and Bytown Railway.\u2014The sale of the Montreal and Bytown Railway from Carillon to Grenville was suspended by an opposition à fin d\u2019annuller, fyled by the defendants on the 9th inst.£7,000 were offered.Irish Protestant Benevolent Society.The following is the Quarterly Report of the Council of the Irish Protestant Benevolent Society, which was read by the Secretary at the Meeting at the Mechanics\u2019 Hall on Monday night :\u2014 Gentlemen,\u2014Since your Council had the pleasure of submitting their Quarterly Report to younSociefy in October, little deserving of special remrak has occured.The labors of the Committees still continue, although a formal Report for the past quarter has only been received from the Charitable Committee.This Report embraces details of the several cases relieved by them during the months of October and November.The applicants for relief have not been numerous.In rendering assistance, the Charitable Committtee have exercised a commendable discretion, and in every case made full enquiry before granting relief.The season for emigration having closed, the labors of the Immigrant Committee may be said to have ceased for the present.The accounts of the Treasurer show that the sum of £95 Od.6d.has been received, and £44 4s.9d.disbursed, leaving a balance in hand of £50 15s.9d.The claims on your Society will naturally increase with the present inclement weather, and as the funds available to relieve distress are limited, your Council would earnestly impress upon the individual members of your Society, the necessity of further exertion to procure additional members or otherwise add to its funds, aud so increase the stability aud usefulness of your Society.Various means may be devised for carrying this out\u2014a promenade Concert may bo considered a legitimate and good plan, and your Council would recommend it for your consideration; but the Council confine themselves to the expression of their opinion of this necessity, if.your Society desires to be in a position to come fused throughout society, and nothing could do that more than the education of girls, who should become specimens of the gospel of Christ.The gospel appealed iu the first instance to its own merits ; but it afterwards showed its powers in the conduct of its converts.No specimens were more calculated to do good than young ladies, who go forth with their minds refined and their hearts and dispositions formed by the influences of the blessed gospel.The Society had accomplished already an important work\u2014no one could tell how much it had undermined the false systems of evil which had done so much harm ; but, when the great event should take place, when 10,000 should come in, in a year, a month, or a day, many persons would understand that the ripened success of that day was due to the efforts of the present.Let the Society then persevere to the end, and it should reap if it fainted not.Mr.John Redpath seconded the motion.The Rev.Mr.Kemp moved,\u2014 \u201c That this meeting regard it as a token of Divine favour and as a ground of encouragement in the work of the Society, that a permanent successor to the late Madame Tanner has been provided in the person of Madame Berjon, and pray that she may be long spared to do a good work among the French Canadian youth intrusted to her care.\u201d He said that there was no office which required more talent than that which Mad.Berjon occupied, that she was a lady most competent to undertake the task, and she should be supported and her hands strengthened by Christian sympathy, than which nothing could be more grateful to her.An impression might have been made by the remarks of Mr.Jeffers, that the great object of the institution was the education of Protestant ladies.There may have been some Protestant ladies at the Point aux Trembles school ; but the true and great object was to give to young girls of French Canadian families a sound Protestant education.It was not so much, indeed, an educational as a missionary institution To educate Protestant ladies in the truth, and make them acquainted with the saving word of God would be something; but it would not be the great object at which the Society aimed.The mission work in this country was too small.Looking at the French race all around, who from being the old people on the continent, might almost be regarded as Aborigines, and looking at what Protestants had done for them, it was plain that the latter could not point with much complacency to their efforts on that side of the St.Lawrence at any rate ; for he did not forgot the Grande Ligne on the other.On this side there was a noble institution ; but there would be nothing to be proud of until the land should be covered with a dozen similar ones.He believed that God haci sent the Protestants to this country to be missionaries.It was the business of Christians everywhere to be the leaven\u2014the lights of the world ; but they were not to put their light in their own bushel\u2014nor their leaven within the circle of their own community.The light must be diffused\u2014the leaven circulated through the unleavened mass\u2014the unleavened mass of popery.Yet very little had been done.There was great difficulty in getting labours and so far, there had not been raised up real native mission, which he would like to see\u2014a native mission which should consist of men strong in mind, thoroughly educated.Ignorant men would not do.They must be able to keep up with the priests, and stand on an equality with them and everybody else.AVhile thanking God, however, and taking courage the society must admit that they were unprofitable servants.Mr.Fred Torrance seconded the motion.Rev.D.Fraser moved,\u2014That the rapid strides of Nunneries towards monopolizing female education in Eastern Canada increased by the facilities which they afford, should stir up Evangelical Christians to put forth greatly augmented efforts to sustain such Institutions as that of Point-aux Trembles.It was stated in a late report of the Superintendent of education, which was carefully drawn and did him great credit, that three; thousand girls were at present receiving education in the Nunnery Schools of Montreal, and it was the policy of the Church of Rome to monopolize, through these institutions, the education of Proclamation of the third December declares the St.Athanase aud Staustead Road no longer under the control of the Board of AVorks.1855 had increased to 52, and that, during the Lower Canada.Go a few miles from Montreal same short period of two years (if official statis- in any direction, and you would find these in-tics are to be relied on) the number of pupils in | stitutions and their numbers were increased by these nunneries bad more tha* trebled, having increased, from 2,796 to 8,530.In the face of such facts, docs it behove Christians to relax in tfleir efforts for maintaining an Institution where Canadian girls can receive a tuition enlightened by the Gospel, and where many of them will be rescued from the inevitable fate of entering nunneries, in which their minds will be cramped, and their souls disciplined into an idolatrous worship ?A letter has been recently recived from a tor-mer pupil, expressing great regret that her parents were too poor to pay tile required sum for her tuition, but entreating that she still might be received into the Institute, with a younger sister, then attending a Roman Catholic school.The girl says \u201cAVe have had a visit, from the priest, who asked my father, after having his attention drawn to me, if I were not an English girl.Upon being told that I was a Canadian he asked where I went to school.My father answered, \u2018 at the Protestant school of Pointe-aux-Trembles.\u201d \u2019 This was his first visit.The second time he came, the girl says, \u201c He began to reproacli me for attending your school.My mother answered that she was too poor to place me in the Convent.The priest then offered me a place in the Convent for nothing.This would please my mother, but I do not wish to g» I beg you to receive me into your school God says in His word, that 1 whosoever asks receives,\u2019 and I trust He wishes that I should receive my demands.\u201d Two interesting children, of French and Irish Catholic lineage, but educated in the Protes- the Legislature having exempted the teachers in these schools from the examination required of other teachers.He would not say that the ladies employed in these schools were not the best the Church of Rome had under its control.If any persons had made coarse charges against them, it was not the ladies or gentlemen of the French Canadian Missionary Society, for they protested not only against religious error, but against all unfairness in dealing with opponents.He gave these ladies all credit for being devoted to the cause of charity and education\u2014for being ardent, simple-minded devotees ; but lie held that they lived in an unnatural position, which unfitted them to form healthy manly or womanly characters.If nunneries were so essential to the Church of God, it seemed strange that not the slightest allusion to them was to be found in the Scriptures\u2014that neither Mary nor Martha found it necessary to take the veil\u2014that the four der of the Popes, Peter himself, was not only married, but took his wife to and fro while establishing the Christian Churches, to encourage him in his labors.Paul said, let the young women marry, and keep the house, aud bring up their children ; and, therefore, when ladies bound themselves by vows, they put themselves in a position which was unjustifiable.They might teach certain elements of knowledge, some flimsy accomplishments, but they could not form men and women for active life, fit to serve God in the social and family circle.There was no country where female education would tel more than in this Eastern Popish Canada, because no where were the people more nmia- be awakened, and the land be covered with institutions like that at Point-anx-Trembles, so that the population might have their minds emancipated from that base superstition which was alone consistent with the sway of the Church of Rome.The Hon.James Ferrier seconded the motion ; and after singing and the benediction, the meeting broke up.POLICE COUBT.Before Charles

and transferer of stock of the company.He was originally chief clerk of Mr Clarke, at one period registrar to the company, and succeeded to the .oilice.He is about 45 years of age, and married, but without childreu.Though in the receipt of a salary not larger than from £250 to £300 a-year, he lived iu a style of great elegance at.27, Chester-terrace, Regent\u2019s Park, and he had a country residence at Weybridge.His mode of life, so little iu unison with the income derived from the Great Northern Company, if known to the rest of the officers, though calculated to awaken suspicion, would not appear to have had that effect, for, he had the reputation of being a successful jspeculator, which might account for the ease of his circumstances.He had also a great character forj acts of charity and benovelence, for he is said to have spent large sums of money in this way from time to time.He was connected with several of the charitable Institutions of the metropos\u2014among others, Christ\u2019s Hospital and the Royal Society of St.Anne, of both of which he is a Governor ; and he was always ready to use ins influence in favour of any deserving person desiring to avail himself of their benefits.The directors on Monday instituted a strict investigation into the accounts registred was inMr Redpath\u2019s department, and Mr.Redpath, present at the examination so far as it proceeded, but on reassembling on Tuesday morning last he absented himself and was never seen again until his capture yesterday morning.It is supposed that he proceeded to Paris, for a telegraphic message was received from him there, stating his intention to return on Monday next.On the day he disappeard the police magistrate at Clerkenwell, granted a warrant for his apprehension, and the superintendent of police proceeded to Paris in .quest of him.Yesterday morning from information received at King\u2019s-cross, Air.Aiowatt, the secretary of the company, attended by Richard AVilliams and another police-constable, went to the house No.4.Ulster-place, New-road, where they found Mr.Redpath, and Mr.Mowatt immediately gave him into custody there.Mr.Readpath was at breakfast when he was so surprised.It would seem that he arrived at the London-bridge terminus of the South-Eastern Railway early yesterday morning, aud proceeded to the house in Ulster-place, where he was taken.It is not improbable that he intended to surrender himself.Redpath was not only well known as a constant guest at fashionable parties, but even contrived to get presented at Court.He was almost equally as well known iu Paris as in London\u2014-he being a frequent visitor there\u2014and being in the habit of patronising the Hotel Windsor, where he lived in most princely style, his hotel bill being said to hare averaged £100 a-week, besides what he must have expended at the numerous expensive cafes which he was in the habit of visiting, and where ho thought nothing of ordering wines at 30 or 40 francs a bottle.During a recent visit it is stated that he became a competitor with the Emperor for a beautiful antique model of Leda and the Swan in silver.The Emperor offered £700, and Redpath £750, and the coveted ornament was duly conveyed to the mansion at AA\u2019eybridge.Redpath, Klffe Robson, was a great patron of the theatres, and might be nightly seen either at the Royal Italian Opera or the Haymarket, to the stage of which he had ready access, and where his love of display, which he seems to have posessed in an extraordinary degree, caused him often to give away his money\u2014or perhaps we should say that of his employers\u2014 in a most extraordinary manner.Thus, he upon one occasion said to a leading actor, \u201c-, my dear fellow, yon never take a benefit, and I have no opportunity of showing my appreciation of your character as a man, and your talents as an actor, as I wish to do ; do me, therefore, the pleasure to accept this acknowledgment of my opinion of you\u201d\u2014at the' same time forcing a cheque for £50 into his hand.The box hookeeper of the same theatre having died a few weeks since, leaving a widow and seven children, an appeal was made to Redpath to assist in getting one of them into the St.Anne\u2019s Society Asylum.He promised to use his best endeavours, and the next day sent the requisite number of proxies to secure the election.On tlie occasion of the annual festivals of the charitable institutions of the metropolis, Leopold Redpatli was in the habit of paying from £50 to £100 from his own pocket, to add to the splendour of the dinner.At the first dinner of one of these societies, after the return of H.R.H.the Duke of Cambridge from the Crimea\u2014an occasion on whicli His Royal Highness presided\u2014 100 guineas were so expended\u2014the subscription lists also bearing the names of \u201c Leopold Redpath, Esq., £50, and Airs.Redpath, £50.\u201d But this was not all ; for in the course of the evening Redpath handed in another cheque for £105, as a donation from a \u201c Citizen who admires the character ofR.H.H.the Duke of Cambridge, and who wishes to congratulate His Royal Highness on his return from the Crimea.\u201d ANTECEDENTS OF REDPATH.AVhcn the Peninsular and Oriental Company was started, it being rather a -private concern than a public company, Redpath was engaged as a clerk.Before, however, he ceased that connection.ho obtained an introduction to Air.Thomas Fox, the upholsterer agent, of Bishops-gate-street Within, to whom it was represented that he was about to marry the daughter of one of the directors of the company in which he was a clerk.There is every reason to believe that this was a false representation.Upon his introduction to Air.Fox, Redpath informed him that in anticipation of his marriage he had taken a house in Dartmouth-terrace.After some little hesitation Air.Fox supplied him with furniture to the amount of between £500 and £600.Redpath was soon after married, and he then left his employment and started in business as a ship insurance broker, and transacted business generally as a steam navy agent for the sale of shares, &c.Aiean while he lived in good style, and seems there to have first entered upon that apparenly religious and charitable course with which, up to the time of his capture, he was so intimately identified.The time which he could spare from his commercial pursuits he devoted to the advocacy of the claims of charitable institutions, to the distribution of religious tracts and other objects of a kindred character, which soon raised him in the estimation of his neighbors, by whom he was regarded as a most exemplary person.This portion of.his career was a short one, for in less than three months he was made a bankrupt, and it was then found that lie had incurred debts to the extent of £5000\u2014amongst his creditors being a pianoforte maker, musical instrument makers, dealers in articles of bijouterie and vertu.Air.Fox applied unsuccessfuly for his money, it having been understood that it was a cash transaction, and upon calling personally upon Air.Redpath he found that some of the tradesmen were taking away the goods they had supplied.Before the Court of Bankruptcy Redpath was extremely insolent, and was severely reprimanded by the Commissioner, and on the strength of Air.Fox\u2019s opposition he was sent back.During the period, qf railway speculation which resulted in the \u201c mania\u2019\u2019 of 1845, although without character or means, Leopold Redpath managed to pie up a precarious living amidst the bewildering excitement.AVhile the Great Northern Company were struggling with a rival company in Parliament for their bill Redpath was of great assistance to them in promoting their cause, and when they started as an organised compauy he was engaged as a clerk.He must have been carrying on his frauds for a considerable time, as -his style of living for some years past has excited the attention of the tradesmen in the vicinity of Chester-terrace with whom he had dealings, and who received payment for their goods, no matter how extravagant or luxurious they might be, with the greatest promptitude.There was generally a feeling of surprise at Redpath\u2019s sudden elevation in the world, because he was well known in the neighborhood of Regent\u2019s Park, having, resided in the locality for many years.About twelve years ago he occupied obscure apartments in Cumberland Market, whilst his wife, who is described as a most amiable and ladylike woman, resided as a companion to an elderly lady named Simmons, at No.3 Cumberland Place.He subsequently, improved his circumstances, and took lodgings at No.43 Upper Albany Street.Shortly-after obtaining his appointment as a clerk in the offices of the Great AVcstern Railway Company, he became tenant of the house No.2 Park Village AArest.From that period his style of living began to improve, Until he took the mansion No.27 Chester Terrace, at a rental of £200 annum, a sum, including taxes, which exceeded the salary derived from the Great Northern Railway clerkship.Soon after taking the mansion at Chester Terrace lie mounted his carriage, and, in addition to an establishment of five or six female servants, he kept a coachman, a groom, a butler, and a footman.Redpath lived altogether in the highest and most luxurious style, and about three years ago the executors of tliè late Air.Trezivant,- a gentleman who lived in his own house, No.31 Chester Terrace, upon his demise put up the house for sale, and it was bought by Redpath, at a sum of between £3000 and £4000.He.was in the habit of receiving, fu great deal of company, and he gave parties and dinners of the most expensive character.It mattered not to him whether or not peas were -in season\u2014have them he would on his table at a time when they could not be obtained at Covent Garden market at less than 7s or 8s quart.AA\u2019hether grapes were 2s or 10s ¦ÿ' lb.it was no matter to Redpath, and the same remark applies to every other article.It was his practice prior to leaving home every morning, to have his hair dressed by a peruquier from Strathearn\u2019s, in Princess Street, Hanover Square.Either the head of the establishment, or some one deputed by him, arrived at No.27 Chester Terrace, every morning, m a cab, which was usually kept at the door fur about an hour whilst the tonsor was performing his operations on Redpath\u2019s cranium.It was not until the month Of August or September last year that Redpâth effected the purchase of the freehold villa at AYeybridge, aud he has been out of town staying there, and coming to town for business purposes.The price paid for the estate, it is said, was £30,000.It has been ascertained that Redpath frequently trafficed in the rotes of some of the charitable institutions with which he was connected as governor.It appears that iu addition to being a governor of Christ\u2019s Hospital, he was an almoner, and one of its committee of management.The Essex Herald says :\u2014Mrs.Redpath was the daughter of the late Major Sherman, in the service of the East India Company.Alajor Sherman resided, up to the period of'his death, five or six years since, at Maryland Point, Stratford.EXTRAORDINARY SCENE AT ST.PAUL\u2019S, KNIGHTSBRIDGE.the same predicament, and settled his differences by his notes having six, twelve,and eightc c n months to run.These were taken up befor-» maturity, and probably the same measures w i 11 be resorted to on this occasion.His losses are estimated at about one million of dollars, but his friends appear confident he will be able to respond, whatever the sum may be.All this time bargains, as our readers are doubtless awaro, are strictly illegal.Their security is that only of the honor of the contracting parties.It is understood that Mr.Little continued his ordinary operations yesterday, notwithstanding his suspension, and probably in a fortnight\u2019s time the whole affair will blow over.Nothing but the final conflagration will put an cud to AYall street speculations and AArall street swindles.An ordinary earthquake would not trouble the operators at all.The failure in this city was that; of a bear\u2014that in Boston of a boil.On Sunday morning, the fog having rendered the use of lights necessary, one of tlie churchwardens directed the beadle to light the gas-burners.AArhile this was being done, and the prayers monotoned, Mr.Liddell, on his knees in the chancel, ordered the beadle to light the great caudles on the altar.These candles form a portion of the furniture attached to the ceremonial at this church, for which the long-delayed judgment of Sir John Dodson is looked for in the Arches Court.The beadle having lighted them returned to the other end of the church, and when asked by Mr.AA'esterton why he had done so, he replied that Air.Liddell had ordered him to do so.The practice of having huge candles on the altar is one of the many Pusey-ite imitations of the Romish ceremonial which has given such offence to the Protestant portion of the parishioners ; and the late Bishop oi London, though he objected to them, permitted them to remain, but forbade Air.Liddell to light them.Air.AAwsterton left his pew, went up the nave, ascended the chancel steps, and passing by Air.Liddell, entered the vestry, re-appearing with the extinguisher.Going within the dwarf screen raised for its protection, from the unsanctified feet of the laity, lie reached the altar and extinguished its master lights.Returning the extinguisher to the vestry he then retired to his pew.AVhen Air.Liddell, and Alessrs.Smith and AYestall, his curates, got up at the end of the Alorning Prayer to form their usual procession to the altar, Air.Liddell, while the sanctus was being chanted by the choir, darted off into the vestry, followed by Air.Smith.\u2014 They returned with a lighted candle.They then all went up to the altar, Air.Smith relighting one of the great candles, and Mr.AYestall, before being able to accomplish a similar feat with the other, was obliged to lift it down with its massive candlestick, and light it on the floor\u2014the congregation all this while looking on with the greatest amazement.The communion service then proceeded, and Mr.AA'esterton, feeling that farther interference would have led to a personal struggle between himself and the clergy, judiciously remained in his pew.Air.Liddell\u2019s sermon, which followed this scene, was tlie third with which, for three successive Sundays, he has tormented his congregation, since the sentence of deprivation was passed on Archdeacon Denison, and in which he has boldly and defiantly upheld him, denounced the doctrine of the archbishop\u2019s court, and identified himself with his doctrine.Amongst the congregation was the Duchess of AVellington ; and we are grieved to learn that the Duchess of Sutherland and other ladies and gentlemen wno held posts of honor and confidence about the person of the Queen and her RoyaLrelatives are in the habit of forsaking their own parish churches and attending this or its chapel of ease, St.Barnabas.\u2014Morning Herald.IRELAND.HORRIBLE MURDER OF A RAILWAY CASHIER.A most painful sensation has been created in Dublin by the discovery of a very horrible and mysterous circumstance at the terminus of the Alidland Great AArestern (Ireland) Railway, the body of Air.George Little, the cashier, having been found in his office, with the throat cut in a frightful manner, and all the appearances which led the public to suppose that the unfortunate deceased had committed suicide.In the early part of the morning the absence of the deceased was not noticed, and that his office door remained closed without attracting attention until eleven o\u2019clock, when his sister arrived to inquire about Ins absence, stating that he had not returned home during the night.Inquiries were then made, and one of the porters observing that the gas was still lighted, a good deal of alarm was felt.A boy entered the room through a window, when he discovered the body of the unfortunate cashier lying on his face in the midst of a pool of blood.The throat was cut from ear to ear in such a manner as to leave the heads almost hanging from the body.An inquest has been held, and the evidence left no doubt that the deceased had been the victim of a most brutal murder.Tlie instrument with which his throat had been cut had disappeared, nothing with a sharp edge having been found in the room except a pen knife, which was quite clean.Tlie key of the door had also vanished, the murderers having evidently locked the door and taken the key with them.Some of the mysterious circumstances of the case remain unexplained.A large sum of money, amounting to several hundred pounds in gold and notes,.which still laid on the table, would not indicate that a robbery had been committed, although it is stated that a large sum besides that thus undisturbed is missing.The Jury returned a verdict of\u2014 \u201c AVilful murder against some person or persons unknown.\u201d It would appear from a careful examination of the cashier\u2019s room, that the concealment of a person from the occupant of the room was totally impossible, and that further, deceased was at his table, or in the neighborhood of it, when assassinated.If this be so, the only way for accounting for the appearance of the murderer in the room is by supposing that, having entered the terminus, he ascended the stairs, and lurking by, either in one of the rooms of the corridor, or on a sort of staircase immediately adjoining the cashier's room, awaited an opportunity of finding the coast clear, and then, seeing that the door was not locked, opened it quietly, and so as not to attract attention.The hair of the deceased seems to have been torn by handfuls from tlie head and thrown about the floor.The position of the body when found would almost indicate that the unfortunate gentleman was first attacked when seated in his chair at the table, and this fact would either go to presume the prior concealment of the assassin, or the door being unlocked at the time of his entrance.Having removed the blood from the razor or other instrument with which the murder was committed tlie murderer left the room, locked the door behind him, and descended by the principal staircase to the basement story, where he would appear to have made an endeavor to retreat by the same door, by which he had entered, for on the doorpost a fresh deposit of blood has been discovered, as if a person, pushing against the door with the sleeve of his coat or his hand, either having blood upon them, had pressed against it.Foiled in Ins attempt to obtain egress in this way, he seems to have proceeded to a window, and to have descended the five or six feet which intervened between the sill and ground.Failure of Jacob Little, Esq., of New York, and Henshaw & Son, of Boston.\u2014AYall street, says the.New York Herald on Saturday last, was yesterday thrown into a state of great excitement in consequence of the announcement of the failure of Jacob Little, the great bear of the stock board in this city, and that also of Henshaw & Son, of Boston, in the aggregates for the sum of at least ten millions of dollars.Air.Little announced personally at the board in the morning his inability to meet his engagements, but offered to complete ail his outstanding contracts by paying up his differences at the day\u2019s quotations.It is understood that his creditors will, almost without exception, come into the proposed arrangement.The outstanding contracts are to enormous amounts.It seems that Air.Little was largely short in stocks chiefly in AA\u2019estern railroad shares, probably including a considerable amount of Eric.There were many rumours regarding the a-mount he had sold, some of which were no doubt exaggerated.Tlie probability is that the number of shares which he had sold, short or on time, amounted to abeut 100,000 or 150,000.AAre understand that he offered to settle his contracts at the prices of stocks yesterday, but announced that should this proposition he declined and stocks should continue to advance, that he would be enabled to fulfil his engagements.AYe learn that some of his largest creditors acceded to his proposition, while others had not decided how they would act as they, no doubt, wished for time to consult their constituents.It is likely all will come into the pleasure when it is considered that Air.Little has always shown great liberality towards others over whom he had gained a similar advantage, and was generally willing to accept of any differences they were able to pay.The intelligence from England by the steamer of the large arrivals of gold from Australia and the rise in consols has had its effect on American operators, and raised the price of stocks at a jump.In tin?state of things Air.Little doubtless foreseeing his utter inability to go on came to a stand still at once.The consequence of this will be more distinctly seen in a day or two, and involvements of other parties, who based their own operations on the contracts of Air.Little, must also be extensive and heavy.At the seèond board, stocks went up to Thursday\u2019s prices, and there are jnany reasons why such a result would be struggled for by those who are to.deliver at the present rates.AYhen the hypothecated stocks are, however, resorted to by tlie lenders of money in.the street\u2014who hold them as securify\u2014we shall probably then see a considerable decline.The great hear disappearing for a time as a purchaser, the supply will exceed the demand.In 1853 Mr, Little found himself in very much Fire.\u2014Between 12 and 1 o\u2019clock this morning, a fire was discovered to have originated in the rear part of Christ\u2019s Church Cathedral.The alarm being given, every effort was made to save the building, but owing to the scarcity of water, and the extreme rapidity of the flames, the building was totally destroyed.The adjoining buildings suffered considerably by the falling of the steeple and other casualties dependent upon such a catastrophe.AYe are unable, owing to the lateness of the hour, to give particulars, as to the cause of the fire, but suppose it must have originated in some defect in the hot air furnaces which heated the build- RETURN of the number of Emigrants embarked, with the number

N.H March 2.Messrs.Seth W.Fowled Co.\u2014 Gentlemen T\"0 years ago, a sudden and violent attack upon my lungs contiued me to my bed for several weeks, and when I recovered, I was so much oppressed by difficulty in breathing, that I was often unable to sleep or rest upon a bed by night.The suffering was extreme, and judgiyg from the inefficiency of the remedies used, I supposed the disease incurable.Being persuaded to try a bottle of Wist Alt\u2019s Bas law op Wild Cherry, without the least confidence in its efficacy, I found the difficulty almost entirely removed before one bottle was used up.Having a mortal aversion to medicine, and seldom using it in any form, sympathy with my fellow-sufferers induces me to make this public statement, and recommend the article to others similarly afflicted.With respect, yours truly, Henry Wood.None genuine unless signed I.Butts on the wrapper.Nov.19.\tr 276 Ask them !,\u2014Ask Messrs.Lymans, Savage & Co., Montreal, what the people say of

and being purely vegetable, aro free from any risk of harm.Cures have been made which surpass belief wore they not substantiated by men of sucli exalted position and character as to forbid tho suspicion of untruth.Many eminent clergymen and physicians havo lent their names to certify to the public tho reliability of my remedies, while others have sent mo the assurance of their conviction that my Preparations contribute immensely to the relief of my afflicted, suffering fellow-men.The Agent below named is pleased to furnish gratis my American Almanac, containing directions for their use and certificates of their cures, of the following complaints: \u2014 Costiveness, Bilious Complaints, Rheumatism, Dropsy, Heartburn, Headache arising from a foul Stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, Morbid Inaction of the Bowels and Pain arising therefrom, Flatulency, Loss of Appetite, all Ulcerous and Cutaneous Diseases which require an évacuant Medicine, Scrofula or King\u2019s Evil.They also, by purifying the blood and stimulating the system, cure many complaints which it would not bo supposed they could reach, such as Deafness, Partial Blindness, Neuralgia and Nervous Irritability, Derangements of the Liver and Kidneys, Gout, and other kindred complaints arising from a low state of tho body or obstruction of its functions.Do not bo put off by unprincipled dealers with some other pill they make more profit on.Ask for Ayer\u2019s Pills, and take nothing else.No other they can give you compares with this in its intrinsic vnliie or curàtjiv.powers.The sick want the best aid there is for them and they should have it.Prepared !>y £>r.J.
