when actually examined.But tbe company who landed there were not com- mmonpless.\u2018They toiled maofoily in the midst of u Now England winter, to bouse themsel ses from the weatber, and defond themeelres from the fndians, wbo happily, bowever, were then friendly.ln the privation of that first winter half of their number died, end were buried in the hiil-side, lmmediately above the landing- place on which they constructed their first abodes.This bill was called Coles-bill, and probably gave its name to the most plaintive of tones.As their number rapidly diminished, they conducted their funerals at t, Mo as to concesl the knowledge of decreasing strength from the Indiacs, who could overlook them from neighboring beights, and they levelled the above the dead for cultivation, so ms to show ij ver, sad Rose Standish wife of Miles Standish, the warrior wbo was chosen for Uaptain.The * Meyflower\u201d lay atanchor near them all winter, aad when she sailed for Britain in spring, any or all might have returned with her.Ordinary meu would doubtless have done so after such o dreadful winter, 3u a cost by no means inviting, either in point of fertility or of any \u2018wealth that could be obtained from the natives ; but these men had come with prayer and reso- lation, and not one could have been Induced to abandon bis parpose and re-embark for Europe | É I : i 8 $e Ff2 ?Ë E ; g gE?H 8 Z E I fr s$ Î Ë § Ë 2 F i which bare occupied the time.A desd-lock took place between the Olerical snd Lay dele aies upon the question of the patronage of reo.tories, the former favored the appointment of pastors remaining as at present in tbe bands of the Bishop, the laity however, were generaliy of the opinion that the congregation sbould have & voice in the salaction of their spiritual guide, The question was discussed in all its aspects for several days, and all desoriptions of compromises [roposed, none of which appeared 10 most the views of a mejority of both orders which is neessary to s decision.The dificuity was accordingly postponed until next year.A Committes, consisting of three clergymen and an equal number of isymen, nominated by the Blabop, are to confer with the latter in tbe meantime, and prepare a report, During the excitement of the debste quite « scene occurred betwesn Ool.G.T.Denison and Rev.Wa.Darling, of Trinity Church, Toronto, where ritualion of the extrement type prevails, Col.Denison alluded to the innovations made in & certain Toronto churcb, not mentioning soy name, whereupon Mr.Darling rose excitedly, and asked if be referred to bis church, Mr.Denison refused to answer tbe question.The parties happened to meet in the ants-room after tbe debate, when Mr.Darling shook bis fist in the Colonel's face and called bim a coward, and used very violent langusge towards bim.Mr.W.Boulton and Hon.J.H.Oameron bad also à set-to on Feder, Med the former repeated the charges made some time ago respecting t!

but in November, 1867,tbose negotiations were brought to an end by Mr.Boward declining to waive what he conceived tobe bis right to bring before the arbitration the question of tbe recognition of the Southern States aa belligerents.lo this state sure remained till Mr.Reverdy Jobnson's ar rival, His appointment, I believe, was unsol- mously ratified by the Senate, though it bad vetoed almost every other diplomatic appointment made by President Jobnson.There was, therefore, every rexson to think that a more friendly feeling existed on the part of the people and Government of the United States.Mr.Johnson commenced bis negotiations by making various p:opositions, which Lord Stanley could mot accept, but on October 9th last, they concluded a Convention, selling the question of naturalization, to which tbe United States attached such importance, that they made it the sine gua non of any negotiations, and under that protocol the question of indefeasible allegiance was settled by an agreement that a natural born Englishman, on becoming naturalized in tbe United States, should divest bimaelf of bis former nationality.The protocol signed by my noble friend was more liberal than the Prussian Treaty, having the ssme object In view, for by the Prusian Treaty it was insisted that a Prussian subject should be resident in the U.8.for Give years before be obtained that right, whereas there was no such restriction in protocol signed by Lerd Stanley.On the 17th of October, Lord Stanley signed a protocol respecting the San Joan water boundary, which has been, more or less, à matter of dispute for nearly 30 years, proposing to settle it on tbe basse originally sug- ted by wy noble friend (Earl Russell).On the 20th of October, Lord Stanley and Mr.Johnson, entered on the consideration of the \u201c Àla- bama\u201d claius, and, after some propositions oa the of Mr.Johnson bad been very properly de- cliued by Lord Stanley, Mr.Jobneon p that two Commissioners should be appoioted on each side, to whom all claims should be referred, and that the Commissioners should decide u sll these questions, it being provided that neither Government, in case this was agreed to, should make out a case io support of its position, and that Bo person should be heard for or against any such claim, the cfficial correspondence alone being laid before the Commissioners.This was put into a more formal shape, and on the 10th of November Lord Stanley signed tbe Con- veation with Mr.Johnson.Two days afterward Mr.Jobuson received o telegram from Mr.Seward stating that the Convention was ea- tirely acceptable, except that the place of meeting should be mitered.To this Lord Btaniey acceded, and be had, therefore, every reason to believe that Mr.Johnson, was not only fally empowered to sign the Convention, but that it would meet with the fall approval of Mr.Seward, who was cognizant of every step which had been taken in the matter.It was not till the 27th of November that Lord Stanley knew it was objected to, and it was not till the Jet of December that be beeams informed of the na- tare of those chjections, and tbat alterations in tbe terms of the Convention were proposed.The present Government, therefore, was wet on the very threabold of office by objections to the Convention, and we were told in a letter intended for Lord Stanley that Mr.Rsverdy Johnson bad misunderstood his instrue- tions ; that be bad departed widely from tbe Convention of 1853, which was throughoat taken as & model, that the President thought several of the articles inadmiesable, and that the Cabinet were that the Convention could not be ratifed by the Senate.Mr.Seward, at the same time, with great earnestness, begged Lord Stanley not to insist on the Convention being laid before the Senate, nor refuse to complete a good work.A grave responsibility, therefore, rested on the Government, and we had either to insist upon the Convention being aid before the Senate, in which case we know it would be rejected, or undertake to modify a Convention which was already signed.We felt that the former course would be open to much obloquy, aud that our motives would be liable to misconstruction, and thst we might be accused of refusing to accomplish 6 good work that had been nearly completed by our predecessors.We accordingly examined the modiSeations proposed, and found that fo reality they were varie- tions of form rather than of substance.On the 14th of January, I accordingly signed a Oonven- tion with Mr.Johnson, and both tbat and the Convention signed by Lord Stanley will be found in tbe papers wbich bave been produced, \u2018They are both at an end, they are now dead and buried, and I do not see that any useful would be served by Sutering ia detail into the differences between them.(Obeers.) Tbe pric- ciples of the first Convention, I think adbered far more closely to tbe Convention of 1853, which was of American origin, and bed been insisted on as the model which should be followed, than the one sent over by Mr.Seward.No Impartial person.© think, will deny that everythlog hes dons in order to meet the wishes and adopt the proposals of tbe American Government.(Obeers.) Indeed, 80 great has been the desire both of the late and the present Government to bring this painful controversy toa close that your lordships may thick that onr concessions have been carried d a legitimate limit, Ido pot wonder, , tbat there was mo great expression of dissatisfaction wben the negotiations fell through.1 should also mention that while the \u2018Treaty was under the consideration of the Senate Mr.Joboson came to me and said be was advised that bis Government had claims againet the British Goverament which were not recog.Rares apples aris cdot, ce a fer ves article added.or the first article shatiged, vo ae to give cach Government arbitration the claims of American subjects | poa January, 1820.\u2018hardiy say, was ééclised.It was only on tbe 3rd of April tliat we learned tbat the Senate bad refused to ratify the Ocnventlon by a vote of 84 to 1, in accordance with tbe report of the Foreign Affaire Committee, on which occasion Mr.Sumner delivered the speech to which the noble viscount bag referred \u2014a spesch much to be 8 regretted (loud sheers) but upon which, I think, too t otress should not be laid, for Mr.Sum- nots memberjof the Goverament, be does uot speak under any Ministerial responsibility, snd although the Senate supported him by their vole we have no reason to know that the members of that majority supported either bis extra vagant claims or his statements.1 will not critie cine those statements, (* Hear, bear,\u201d from the Bari of Derby.) Public opinion Is made up upon them, and I quite agree with the noble viscount | bat the practical good sense of the American people is leading them to form an estimate of the speech that does not differ widely from that formed in this country.Both Mr.Johnson end Mr.Sumoer have recdered much service to this country, sad | doubt æbafher that service could bave been reuderei so effectually in atiy other way.Mr Joboeon, in those pumerous public assemblies that he attended, called forth » most svontansous aod manly expresion of tbe friendship and good feeling wbicb tbe Roglisb people entertain toward the United Btates\u2014s feeling such as they do not entertain, and therefore could ut express, toward apy other nation; and, on tbe otber band, Mr.Bamner has elicited through bis speech a response from 1be press of this country, representiog every shade of political feeling, which must make it equally manifest that however much we desire peace, and however bigbly we value our relations with the U.B.there is one thing we valus more and which we ean never submit Lo sacrifice\u2014our national bonor.[Loud cheers.) I do not veaturs to predict what course events mey take, and cannot sey what will be the course of Her Majesty's Gov.eroment beyond giving an assurance that got- withstandiog all that passed, there will be the same friendly feeling toward the United States and the same desire to bring this contre- versy to & close.(Hoer] 1 agree with the aoble Viscount that {tina good omen that aman of Mr.Motiey\u2019s eminence should have bien appointed to represent tbe United States in this country.1 bave, of course, bad the pleasure of eveing Me.Motiey, but I bad no direct official communication with bis, and I do not know what are his instructions.Having sald this much I think lordabipe will a; the reticence which I have thought it my duty to observe, [The noble Earl resumed bis seat amid cordial cheering from both sides of the House.) THE LATE HENRY J.RAYMOND.(From the N.F.Tribune, 19.) Henry Jarvis Raymood was in Lima, Livingeton Count, New-York, on the 34th of is father was a farmer of that village, and there be received his earliest education, performing the usual labors of a farmer's oon and attending the Lima Seminary, an institution of some noe.When Bfteen years old be took of s district school.Not content with the limited means of education afforded by bis native village, be prevailed upos bis father\u2014not without much difficulty\u2014to allow bim to eater the University of Vermont, at Bar.lingtou.He took & high stand in colle whece be was aided with that tenacity and termination which insured bis success in after life, and be graduated with bonor in 1840.After leaving college he came to this city and began the study of law in tbe office of Edward W.Marsh.Here be maintained bim- self by teaching the classics in » ladies\u2019 seminary, and by contributing to the New-Forker, Mr.Greeley\u2019s first paper, started in 1834.Mr, Raymond had been a contributor to this jour- asl over the siguature of * Pantome\u201d before leaving college, thus acquiring taste for jourpalism, which did pot accord with the more tedious study of the law.Mr.Greeley paid him eight dollars a week on The New- Torker, nad when, in 1841, be started the Tribune chose bit es bis first ass'stant.Of the value of bis services Mr.Greeley bas written : I never found another person, barely of age and jost from his studies, who erineed to signal and such versatile ability in journalism ss be did.Abler and stronger mes I may have met; « cleverer, readier, more efficient journalist, I pever saw.He remained with me eight years, and is the only assistant with whom I ever felt required to remoustrate for doing more work than any bumao drain and frame could be expeoted to endure.His services were more valusble ia proportion to their cost than Mr.Reymond made a specialty of an art then ip its i \u2018 vs rare sccomplishmet, be formed a eh long-band of his ows invention, by which be was enabled to accomplish what was then looked upon as * wonders.\u201d Soom after the Tribune wad started, Dr.Dionysius Lardner, commenced n course of lectures in the old Broad way Church known as tbe \u201c Tabernacle.\u201d re ported these lectures for the Tribune, and in so accurate a manner that the Doctor subsequently sdopted them; end with slight revision they were published in two large cotavo volewes under tbe title of \u2018Lectures on Science and Art The story of bis achievement in lag Websters speech on tbe dedication of Banker Hill Monument, is well known.Be took bis notes in the method he bad in and the company returned by the night boat.Bat while the others were enjoying themselves, cabin, which bad turned into a office, and when the bost reached, Ryo several oolumps long, wes In ready to be transferred to the presses, Te petoek ihe readers of the Tribune pelt Lert royes.ther papers scknow! themeelves beaten aod never used thelr sbort- he Torvioy, the Tribune be accepted posi.n lesvio ne à position on tbe Courier and Enquirer, under James Watson ere non be remained pot bt years, on 'whes, on seceunt IiOurences, bo lof any for bis bealth.cer i 3.4 i | = Jury 2, 1869.by the Whig wes ro-electad in 1030, when DEPUTATION PRON OANADA PRESBY- be was chosen Bpesker.He at once became!

but the best lectares are tbe letters which prosperous immigrants send to their relatives and friends, inviiicg these to follow them.Momszns' Artowances.\u2014The Minerve, writing où the close of the session, says the distribution of the prises is about finished.The smaller al- 1owanoes aro at least $500.The prise of diligence 1s $500.In receiving this mark of en- | couragement, sensible members say ttat tbey will have even more speeches at the service of tbe country next year, and that if it be possible the public will be still better served with eloquence than in years previous.A gcoily number of the members bear away à tracquil conscience.During all the session their kzow- ledge, imagination, and eloquence bare been freely available on every desired occasion.Tua Nova Ecoria AwszxaTiomsrs.\u2014The more extreme members of tbe Repeal party have resolved on coming out openly in favor of annex- fog Nova Scotia, to tbe United States.Leagues are to be formed, and a newspaper, it in oaid, in to be established, for the purpose of advocating, and giving effect to this policy.We do not consider this movement oa the part of the disaffected Nova Scotians worthy of notice on account of any effect we apprebend it may bave in accomplishing the end contemplated.Bat we regard the agitation of this question as caloulated to be productive of evil, in keeping up among the people a chronic state of excitement and dissatisfaction with their prevent institutions, thus distrastiog their attention and weakening their energies, theceby paralysing the industry, and checking the commercial and manufacturing enterprises of the country ; sad in this light we look upon this Annexation project as mischievous.There is a glaring inconsistency too, in the reason ostensibly given for adopting this movement.The Nova Scotia mal-contents could not by legitimate means obtain à separation from Oanaës, in ordez to resume their former constitution, and, therefore, they will now seek by the same mesns to gain a separation from Canada in order to become an- nezed to the States, Tox Inux Pasa Sysvau.\u2014=What is called the Ltish covict system has worked admirably, and one of its most striking concomitants, as well, as one of the best proofs of its excellent results is the fact that the convicts remain at their different stations without the least restraint of stone-walls or guards.In oneinstance 70 men were undergoing penal servitude, being con- gregatedon an open plain, without wall or enclosure of any kind to confine them, and with only five officers to superintend the discharge of their allotted duties.Undar these conditions, not only do the convicts make no attempt to escape, but cheerfully and hopefully perform their tasks, anticipating the time when they will be restored to society, and there earn the fruits of bomest industry.Not ome per cent.bas attempted to escape since the beginning of the eystem, fourteen years ago.By the reformation wiought ucder it, the number of felons undergoing penal servitude bas diminished tn an ex- traoedinary degree; and many of those who once stood in the felon\u2019s dock are now prospering as employers, the secret of the taint upon their character being scrupulously kept.Could not our own Goverment make itself thoroughly acquainted with this system, with à view to its adoption bere?The Canadian criminal is no more impervious to good infiusaces than is tbe Irish; and it may be questioned whether our Peaitentisry system is perfect, any more than that of our Reformatory.Tun cars Hos.Haar J.Rarwosn.=In the death of Henry J.Raymond, tbe founder, and, lost one of its ablest and most judicious writers.A man of great and varied abilities, be was emi- pently distioguished for his mental squipoiss, biscoolness of jodgment, and evenness of temper.To this bappy combination of qualities, as well as his honesty, bis freed om from personal ambition, his courageousness and candor, wes owing the generally fair aad impartial view which be took ef all publie questions, and tbe slesr, forcible and fearless manner in which he gave expression to hisopinions.Unapt to be carried away by politi- oal excitement, or inflasnced by party prejudices, he was locked spon by men of extreme partissa a lacrosse match was played bere, between twelve of the Young Mon- wos io thres straight games.\u2014\u2014The greater number of the changes, that the efforts of the Government of the Province of Ontario to attract immigrants from Great Britian are beginning to rouse tbe up to the time of his death, the chief editor of the New York Times, American journalises bas views as à trimmer and à mon of ne sireng soa.vietions, but this was evidently & wrong esti mate of his character.In questions afboting the relations of the United States with Great Beitain and Canada, Mr.Raymond made himself particularly prominent in seskiog to correct the false and one-sided views, which, in these matters, 80 many of bis countrymen seem too ready to adopt.In no instance was ils beter illustrated than la tbe stand be took in reference to the \u2018\u2019 Alabama\u201d claims, aud more recently in reference to Mr.Sumner\u2019s speech.The calm, dignifed, and withal just sud impartial course pursued by tbe T¥mes, 1p discuseing these sub.Jocts, was in striking contrast to the tone adopted ln reference to thew by the American press goueraliy.Mr.Raymond was au indofati- gadle and palns-iakiog worker, and while be ez- celled ns à writer he was equally well-known as à speaker, having achieved success not only ss 8 journalist but as a legislator and statestnan.À Lassou.-\u2014Mr.Beocher, in his eloquent funeral address oa the Late Mr.Raymond, alluded to the lesson which his death is 50 well calculated to read to all those who overtax their powers in the too eager pursuit of their business or professions.Mr.Raymond's end wes, no doubt, bastened, if indeed the fatal malady which car ried his off was not directly induced, by bis ex- ceesive application to the severe and srdaous duties of bis callivg.Thiy arose in bis case from no sordid or unworthy motives as we would judge from tbe fact that, while engazed only ss 6 subordinate, and for very moderate pay, bis labors were ag unremitting as when at the head of an extensive cotablishment of his own.While & young man, working on the Tribune, at eight dollars a week, bis aesiduity was such that Me.Greeley, his employer, bad to remonstrate with him for doing more work than any buman brain oe frame could be expected to endure.His intense application was the result of an excessive mental activity which be made 80 attempt to restrain within prudential bounds.His work was indeed à noble one, and the motives which prompted him to devote himself to it equally so, but this could not justify him in violating tbe laws of bis being, nor prevent bis from suffering the pemalty of so doing.Iu- stances of the fatal consequences of prolonged overwork in the pursuit of objects, It may be in themselves perfectly legitimate, are unfortu- uataly becoming frequent of late, and every such axample should be a solemn warning to those whe are tempted to transgress in the same way.Envoarios im Toszst.\u2014The question of education is excitiog à degrees of attention in Tar key whieh it never before commanded.The Oouneil of State prepared à measure OM the subject, which was, however, too sweeping in Îts character to be practieable ; but public opi- ion is being gradually educated to more aû- vanced views on this vital question.One significant circumstance is, that tbe Turkish newspapers bave begun to discuss female education, the subject having been started bys communication from a Turkish Bey, in London, which appeared in ome of the Corstaatinople papers, making some severe strictures en Turkish ladies of the higher orders, and comparing them un- (avorably with their sisters of the same class in England.One of the dispareged ladies retorted by saying that this state of things wasaltogether owing to tbe maoner in which they were brought up : girls when they attended school at all, being witbdraws when seven or eight years of age, and the little they thus learned was afterwards forgotten in the seclusion of the harem.She urged the establishment of famale schools, and the discussion to whioh this little episode gave rise, is likely to result in such s step being taken.Among those most active in promoting the cause of education in Turkey, is Ahmed BeSik Rffendi, a geutleman who was formerly embamador in Paris, and who has filled with dis.tinetion other high offices of State, possesses 8 eboice library of abont 61,000 volames, and devotes his time to Turkish livaratare, publishing from time to time some popular work, which commands an extensive sale, and the profits of which he appropriates to the publicstion of school-books at half-price.In this way be bas i hmaton, etary, and guographion complied himecif, and Pabiisbed ois Own expeoss.is some hope yet for Turkey, when we Sad enlightened Loiots of this caste laboring for hee regeneration.CLOSE OF THE SB3SION.His Excellency, the Governor-General, closed the sscond session of the Domiaion Parliament yesterday.Though rather a protracted one it had been somewhat unexciting in its character.The large Government majority bas generally made opposition hopeless, and the miscrity bave bowed, though not ailentiy, yet without any des- porate struggle, to the inevitable.Some of the measures whish have come before it have been, however, of nomena importanes, being such as beleag rather to the foundations of our national existence than to the legislative superstructure.Dariag it our territory may be said to have been extended to the utmost besadth of this continent, by the virtual soquisition of the North West Tueritory sad anmezation af Newfoundland ; and Prince Béward Island le 0oyly, yet seriously, considering the proposals made to her; whilst Nova Sestls is besomiag pacified, and settling dows te ber place la the Osnfoderation.With these asosssions, & new phase of our future opsus.Wow aphoces of operation, naw ambitions, asd, above all, now reepensibilities.Boveral good measures of minor importance, relating to subjects of internal pelicy, bave been passed ; also 6 number of Acts rendering the Oriminal Law uniform all over the Contede- ration.Bal the Banking Law, which wes lo- troduced, has bees shelved.Tbe Bill, tee, for Limiting the rate of interest war not carried, the bubinees of the country baving narrowly escaped from an absurd and fruitless attempt to restsiet and regulate that which, like all other commercial operations, inevitably regulates itself.THE \u201cMINERVE* ON THB GOVERYNENT DEFEAT.The Parllamentery correspondent of the Minerve, referring vo the late defeat of the Gov- seament, compares it to a clsp of thunder without a storm.Mr.Ferres, he says, bas the disadvantage of being in perfect disfavor with the French Canadien members, on whom he made War some years ago in an Boglish newspaper of Montreal.In short, with oe without resson, be is eredited with * Prancophobis ;* and, to crown all, Bir J.A.Macdonald, in nominating bim, broke away from former usage, which was that the Warden sod sub-Warden of Kiogston were always Catholics.Besides this, Sir.J.A Macdonald bad proposed a bigber salary than was given to the late Warden, and had said that it would uot cause the country additional expense, as it would be made up by paring down the salaries of inferior officers, such as the schoolmaster, cook, ke, &o.Lastly, tbe retirement of the late Warden bad been bought at the price of $8,000 bonus.This tissue of good and bad reasons succeeded in discomposing the French Deputies, who besides knew that, in demanding economy in the present case, they would not be giving so bad a vote as that which bad place last year In reference to the Governor-Genoral and the Deputy-Adjutants.The Opposition being composed of feeble mediocrities, there was open to the friends of the Administration à certain amount of Liberty they might use without seriously perilling any interest.It was not « vote of no-confidence, but a fraternal admonition.Certainly, under a constitutional regime, party government is necessary, aad the members of the party, although not approving in detail all its measures, must nevertheless sop- poet its principles as 8 whole; and when the loss of any measure is csloulated to overthrow à party, it is impossible for its followers to support such a measure.But when, atthe opeaing ofa grand fight, there is only one real and strong party found in the areas, diserstien becomes less necessary, members are not fottered by details, but availing themselves of the ground deserted by the Opposition, are permitted a range of evolutions that would be unsuited to à Seld of battle.When an Opposition is powerless to hold the bridle, then the otber party must substitute s control of its own in leaving ita officers « wide borison and unlimited freedom of action.Meantime, while the Conservative party are supreme masters of the sitoation, they must avoid the danger of too absolute a rule.It will not do to create future dificuities by committing faults that will have to be expiated when the Opposition gets stronger.THB SOUTE RENPREW ELECTION.The contest in South Renfrew attescis considerable attention from the promineat public position so long held by one of the candidates, the Hon.Malcolm Cameron.The vacancy in thls constituency has oocurred through the re- sigoation of Mr.McLachlin, its former representative in the Honse of Commons.Mr, Osmercn, having been deprived of the Quest's Printership, an ofios which bs bas now beld fer several years, wished again to enter publie life, and, on learning of Mr.McLiachlin's intended resignation, proceeded quietly to feel the pulse of the constituency, and received suficient encourage- went to determine bin, when tbe recignetion otually teok place, to present himself as 8 candidate, having been formally invited to do so by Mr, McLachlin snd a number of requisionists in the village of Arnprice, where Mr.MoLachlin\u2019e inflasncois supreme.At first it was supposed that Me.Cameron would meet with no opposl- tion; but no sooner was be fairly in the field thas Mr.McDougall, tbe representative oi the constituency inthe Local Legislature, same forward to contest his return, and notwithstazding the prestige of the former's long, and, on the whole, consistent, and useful publie career, bis encosss is by no means Certain, ns there are varions cireumatances, chiefly of à local charso- tar, which operate greatly in his opponent's fa vor.Latterly, Mr.McLaeblin, who Was at one period very popular in the conatry, has, from negiest- ing to attend to bis Legislative duties, sad other cases, lost, in a great measure, the confidence of bis former constitesats, sad the fact that Mr, Cameron comes forward as the nomines of Mr.Molachlin aad bis pariy, will greatly militate against bim.Owing also to certain discreditable episodes la connection with the return of Mr.Hicks, nad oubsequently of Mr.Oapley for the Osuaty of Renfrew, the people of that sees.try fool very sore on the subject of mon-re- sldent representation.Me.Cameron, though à native of tbe adjoining County of Lanset, aad though personcily kaowa te many of the oles toes, labors under the disadvantage of bring à \u2014\u2026 - JULY $, 1869.neu-resident, sad this eircamstazce mast also bo against him.Besides tbe people of South Reafrow are for the moat part Reformers of the Glebe school, wbile Mr.Oameron avows himself ns n Libecal Conservative, or, in other words, à supporte of tbe Ooslition Government.His address to the electors to is very lndefinite and pon-committsl, dwelling eblefiy on hls merits, as & public men of tweaty.eight years atandiog, and saying little or nothleg os points of political interests to those whose suffrages be sollcits.Me.MeDougall, on tbe otber band, possesses the advantage of being a resident cf the county, of which be is in fact a native, and in which be carries 0a an extensive business.He is moreover a thorough Reformer, having already made his mark in the Local Legislature, by kis firm and consistent advocsey of the principles of bis party.He has also qualities of another ustore to recommend bim, being @ young man of excellent characler, and of great talent and promise, baving graduated with bigb honore at tbe \u2018Toronto University, where be specially distinguished himself by bis knowledge of mathematics.Hoe is as stauncb an adberent Lo temperauce principles as Mr.Cameron bimooif, while 48 à stomp-speaker be forme po mean antagonist to the practised veloran be bas undertakes 10 oppose.Theoaly objection urge) against bim is that be has already assatin the Local Parliament, and bis op- pouents try to make some political ospital ont of the fact that, in his place in the Local Assembly, he both spoke and voted against dual repressata- tion.This objection, however, be meets with tbe argument that, while as much opposed to the double representation system as ever, be sees no reason, while it remains in foros, why be should not take advantage of it, to swell the ranks of Reformers In the House of Commons, us well as Consurvatives to increase their strength.Besides, Me.MoDongall expessses bis willingness to resign bis seat in tbe Loes! House, la tbe event of his election to the Commons, should his constituency so desire.The two candidates are at present busily canvassing the cos- stitusncy, and both sesm equally confident of gucoses.The matter will, however, soon be de- pr us the slection tskes piace is & fow INDEPENDENCE.In these deys it is so hard for erdinary persons 0 secure publie attention to their writinge, Lbat various ruses sre resorted to, to gaia the public sar.Possibly not with any view of this kind, some remegade Canadian, whess mame we may guess bat do not know, bas written from New York a lengthy statement of bis views con- corning'Canada to Mr.Gladstone, sad oa re- osipt of & note of thanks from that Minister, bas bad both letters published in the New York Herald.These bave, of course, been copied into à number of our Canadian papers.Canadians, who have chosen to live in the United States, are naturally annezstionists.This one avoids that question, bat urges that Great Britain should give us our independence whether we ask for it or not.His argument seems to be this :=In tbe first place, whatever the averred renson may be, the real cause cf all the American irritation against England is, the Union Jack fcating over North American citadels.In the second place, no force which Eogland could bring to bear conld protect Canada in case of war.An American army would inevitably threttie it at Montreal, and while its {reedom would be accord- od, it would never be allowed to return under Fngilsh rule.Thirdly, Canads will never mk dy the British partyin power, with mech bloodshed, snd by means of British troops.Fourthly, by establishing Canada as a third Anglo-Saxon nation, all the plotters against peace between England and the United States would be of J EE os ® \u2014 TTS.TE ~dux 2,.1868 ______ ho seen by Looking at what ls gelag os now in Nova Bootis ;

While s conscience clause for \u2018national\u2019 schools has been introduced, mnd religious instruction thereby implied, thers is an abesnce of any express provision for religions instruction.(2) Tbe construction of the code for Beotland.It is in the difficulty which the Privy Council will have in sanctioning one principle of payment for Scot- Land, and another for England, that tbe Com- mittes see danger to tbe beet interests of the schools on this side of the Tweed.It is with à view to evade or overcoms this diffienlty that tbey bave for so many years urged the inatitu- tion of a fcoteh Committes of Council, which might pay due regard to the peculiarities of our mary school system sad to the traditionary bits of the country, while it would be suffi- cisatly removed from local influences to escspe local prejudices and undue pressure.(3) The powers of the Central Board, as controllers of the action of Looal Gomemitiess, do not ssem to be sufficiently large or explicit.(4) The want of due provision for tbe traning tbe fature teacher in the principles and art of teaching.The report was adopted, TAB NEW REGENT OF BPAIN, Spain le once more n monaroby without a crowned head, the Cousitsen t Cortes baving passoé à dectue os! a regeacy under Marche!

as when tbe route of tbe Inierculonial Railway was under consideration.By thet oingla vote at least ton millions wers wantonly sdded to the debt of the Dominion, and the country saddled with a burden in tbe shape of a railway, entailing s yearly loes for working expenses.Phat reckless sacri fice was utterly inexcusable.Tbe only thing to be said for it, that certain all-powerful politi.claps insisted u it, while weaker mon yivlded their convictions rather than lose their offices.It is as olear ss possible that (#0 or three men might bave saved the country this great wrong, but would not, because self-in- terest forbade.Bat it was Done tbe less the duty of Parliament to intervene and save the country from the outrsge.The mojrrity in that body, having in the first session abrogated its right to choose the route of tbe railway, was ready in the secocd to sanction tbe pris 4 bad ebolos which Ministers bad in tbe meantize made.Wo ars sure that Ministers themselves, much ss they rely upon tbe subserviency of Parliament, must bave been astonished at tbe large msjority in favor of one of their worst acts.Some of the Westera men, who betrayed their constituents to voie for tbe North Shore route sad its outley of twenty millions, chuckle a litile that they bad so many to keep them company.Bat that will mot save them from the wrath of the people.The North Shore Railway vote will prove, when the time for the people to speak shall come, one of the most odious this Parliament has given or will yet give.\u2018The wilful sacrifice of many elilions, in order another extravagant vote.Appropriations, large and smal), for objects which should pot bave bad à sbilliog from the Dominion Treasury, were sanctioned with a readiness which stowed how L.ttie thought the msj nity bad of saving tae people's money.The only retrenchment for which the House of Commons voted, during the whole session, was based upon the cordial contempt in which Sir John A.Macdonald's pet, tho new Warden of the Penitentiary, is held by French-Osnadians, wbo know something of hies ; but the vote reducing his extravagant salary must not be set dows wholly to the score of economy.The Ministerialiste, who assisted in cutting down the Penitentiary salaries, did not besitste to help through tbe Chantry Island job, and a imilar one for « Nova Scotia favorite.They sanctioned ali the local sppropristions for boe- pitals, harbors, and the like, wbicb Ministers chose to ask.The worst feature of many of tbe appropriations, which bave been sc lavishiy made during the recent session, is that they are in direct defiance of the letter and spirit of the British North America Act.Under the new coustitution, it is the duty of tbe Federal Parliament to appropriate the revenues of the Dominion\u2014asids from the objects specified in the British Ameries Act =to the public service of the Dominion.That wholesome restriction is eet at naught alike by tbe lem qrante for te local sur vies of Nova tis, and by the small grants for local and special services in varices parts of the Dominion.If such grants are permitted, there is no limit to the abuses which may be fostered.Nova Scotis gets what is equal to two millions now.Io year or two, the Government of Quebec may find its revenue insufficient for its wants, and we shall have Mr.Ohsuvean, backed by Sir George Cartier, com- iag up to Ottews to demand au additional subsidy of a few hundred thousand, or an assumption of a few millions of debt.And who can predict that Sir Joba A.Macdonald or Me, Wil.lism McDougall weculd say, No?And with what face could the Nova Scotiaossay, No, if they wisbed ?The barbor of St.Jobn wacts dredging this year.A dosen barbors will want dredging next year ; and if, Ministers are much in need of votes, stand-and-deliver politicians will be able to do a brisk business in local grants.Ministers are inaugurating a system which the country cannot stand.The Dominion finso- ces are already ins most condition.The Finance Minister, by & pec pro- oes of calculation brought to great perfection by his predecessor, masages to show 8 surplas every year\u2014but yet every year, the interest on the 0 debt is larger.And constantly thers are pew devices for borrowing money.It is borrowed by means of Saving Banks=it is boe- rowed by means of deposits from the insurance companies\u2014it is borrowed even on the pretence of remeviag the silver zuisance.Besides a good deal is borrowed in the more way by the sale of debentures.With ail tbat the Finance Minister atill gets bimeslf into trouble by his misapplication of & guaranteed losn, and proposes,as his next device, to destroy the banking aysiem of the country in order that he may borrow a few millions from the stockholders.When such are the difficulties of tbe financial situation, wives of the safeguards provided by the conati- tution to protect tbe Tressury, instead of being foremost to break tbem down.The extravagance of this session slone will add materially to the burdens of the Dominion.Ifit shall continue oven for two or three years, neither closer fiaan- cial manceavres nor forced loans will avoid the Loyar Onaxes

but, as to women, the statement will not be seriously questioned.And yet it is not from want of wind, but from the want of training.What is there so mysterious in a promissory-note that a woman cannot fathom its import?Or so difficult in the terms of a check that she cannot draw one correctly?Or eo complex in the theory of banking that abe cannot unravel it?Or so intricate in book-keeping by double entry that she csunot fad her way through its mazes?To the average womau, forms of legal conveyances are about as intelligible as 8anscrit.\u2018The slmost infantile sim- Fheity with which she depands upon a | adviser is touching, and yet it has something painful in it too.\u2019l'hat a matare and even cultivated being, in civilized society, should know so little seems to be contrary to the intentions of divine Providence.We eay deliberately that all this is, to our thinking, con! to the purposes of divine Providence.never designed mature and in nt human beings to beso helpless.Yet we bave heard the instance, authentically iven, of a lady of culture, who, upon receiv.fog & aback, asbed the person ne i bad drawn it: ¥ Will it do any barm to this if I fold is up, sir?The case may be extreme, yet there are, we are confident, thousands of women who could hardly tell if it would or not.Women have a natural aptitude for detail, and the life of business is close attention to details, They haves microscopic nicety of mental vision, and accounts are properly kept only when are to a piosty adjusted.They are often suddenly called to busines re- that tponsibilities for which they find themseives but poorly prepared.Hocial and otber changes which compel then to self-help, the settlement of estates, the necessity of effort to save something from the wreck a hasband's fortune, and a thousand other necessities which we do not stop to enumerate, make & better business education of women indispen- sible.And we commend to the reformers who are demanding for their sex a chance to win bread in the higher occupations of society the advocacy of a more thorough education of all women in the forma and methods of business life.Wesay \u2018all women,\u201d for women will move altogether, ornotatall.The mysterious con- sont of fashion must be given, or woman will draw back from a business training as athing accursed.It will remain then either to ridi- eule her ignorance till she is sshamed of it, or to call upon the leaders of society to set for once a useful fashion.We are not withouta good hope for the future, We may yet see day when n knowledge of the theory of Bookkeeping of exchanges, and the simpler forms of conveysace will be considered just as essential to the complete education of 8 woman as Latin, French, and Astronomy.HOW TO WRITE.To express our ideas in writing must eri- dently be a very difficult thing, seeing how rare an acquirement it is, and how fow even of the best writers have acquired perfect facility in the art.Most of them will, I believe, toll you that, after long practice, they still find it nearly as difficalt to write well as they did when they began to write, Yet it seems that certain rales might be laid down for good writing ; and, at the risk of sp- pearing presumptuous, I will veatare to suggest some, 1, Let the subject that you write about, be one that you reaily care t.2.Never throw away anadjective.If you use an adjective that dose not add any mean.iog to the substantive, it is & wicked waste of adjectival power.3.Take care (hat your relatives clearly and distinctly relate to your antecedents.In teven sentences out of ten that are obscure, you will find that the obacarity ie caused by s doubt about the relatives.4.Donot fear repetition.This fear is also a frequent cause of obscurity.5.Avoid pueniheses.A parenthesis can generally be made into a separate sentence, 6.Do not attempt to abbreviate your general statements, or su; that those general statements will be ul reader.For las if you bave ys a par.be agraph whic bonds to how that hen men get into any trouble, tl generally some Soman congerned ic the case, do not begin à sentence in the way\u2014\u2018\u2018 If this beso,\u201d etc, etc, etc.Your reader does not know what this ie, or what so is, or, at least, be does not make out your meaning without a little fooght, and you should keep all his thought for the rea! difficulties which you bave to lay before him.Therefore, boldly say, * When Very men get into trouble, there is mostly & womaa etc.concerned in it,\" A 7 Trg to master what is the idea of a sentence, \u2014bow it shosld be a thing of a certain completeness in jasoif.IF it is to conaist of ne a many clauses, let them be clauses having à re t'amomairie \u201ctopendence-oue- oot sentences within pentences, \u201cpon 8, Attend to method, That alone, if you commit all other fealts, will make your writing readable.Kor example, if you have to treat » subject which ls naturally divided into several brasches,take them up ons by ons, sad exhaust them.Do mot with them y bits, Let us call these branches A, 18, and C.Do not begin by saging only half of what you mean about A, then bring in the rest of A afer yoo have treated C, thus making I sad Ca long nthesis.Often the mist created by this want of method enshrouda the manning of the writer as completely as that which fond Venus threw sround her darling Trojan hero when the Greeks were Jeoming bim too bardiy.9.Follow nature of your subject, and let your choice of words, Jour length of sen- tencea and all the other delicacies of writing, be adapted to that nature of the subject.To use an admirable simile, which hay been used before, let the writing fall over the subject like drapery over beatiful statue of the mu mes e, ing itself inevitably to ali outline of he Bo that it clothes.7 10.While you are writing, do not think of wo these rulss, or of sny other rules.Whatever you have learnt of rules, to be of service, must have entered into your tastes, and must be a part cf your power which you uss, as you do the power of nerve or muscle, unconsciously.\u2014 Arthur Helps, in Good Words.RISING IN THE WORLD.You should hear constantly in mind that nine-tenths of us are, from very nature and necessities of the world, boru to earn our livelihood by the sweat of the brow.What reason have we then to presume that our legal children are not to do the satue ?If they be, as now and then one will be, endowed with extraordinary powers of mind those powers may bave sn op] ity of developing themselves ; and, if never have that opportunity, the barm is not very great to us or to them.Nor does it hence follow that the de scendants of iabourers sre always to be labourers.The path opwards is steep and long, to be sare.uskry, pare ail, excellence in the present parent le foundation of a rise under more favourable circumstances for tbe children.The children of these take another rise; and by-and-by the descendants of Re present labourer , tlemen.is is the patural progress.It is byattemy ing to reach the top at & ain Io loop that 6 much misery is produced in world; sad the propeot to make or frre has been cl encouraged et oJ jects that we bave witnessed of Tats you For making tbe labonrers virtaous and bappy by giving them what is called education.The education Io of consiste in inging up children to labour with steadiness, with care, sad with skill; to show them bow to do ag many useful things as possible, to teach them bow to do them all in the best manner ; to eet them an example in industry, sobriety, clean- linoss, and neatness; to make ali these habitual to them, 80 that they shall never be liable to fall into the contrary; to let them always see a good living procesding from labour, and thus to remove from them the te: ion to getat the goods of others by violent or frandu- lent means, and to keep far from their minds all the inducements to hypocrisy and deceit.\u2014 William Cobbett.THE DBINK OF PLANTS.The ue of Azure water is a matter of rofoundest im) and every point con- fected therewith.whould be canvassed freely and without prejudice.Long snd careful observation has convinced us (Gardener's Magazine) that the customary directions of the books are false in priociple and injurious in practice.It is customary to say, \u201c Give n strong dose at such a time, then pure water oily, then snother strong dose,\u201d and soon.Itis quite true that rome of our favourites endure such treatment without vis ible Jojarm but we feel persuaded that the results would be far more satisfuctory were the plants, needing extra nourishment, supplied with weak manure-water constantly instead of with strong doess at intervals.À little calm consideration of the manner in which plants take up and assimilate their food must surely tend to the conclusion that strong doses of liquid manure spprozimate very nearly to strong doses of poison ; at all seats, acch dents resulting from such practice are no means uncommon, aad are probabl many more accideats of the kind than are Besa of beyond the gardens in which they occur, We have never seen more satisfac tory growth than in cases where the onl water obtainable w s constantly charged wi magurial matters ; yet the liquid was so far from being what we call \u2018\u201c st:0ng'' that there was no indication to the senses of the peculiar properties of the fluid.Manure may be givenio this weak state to almost sny and every plant in cultivation with safety sad benefit, and the constant use of such a fluid has & far more satisfactory effect in the end than the adoption of a stronger solution for a ses.son only.We must not be understood as advocating what are sarcastically termed \u201chomæopathic\u201d doses ; infinitesimal quant ies not be thought of.We amply urge that liquid-masure may be so weak seedling plants and newly-potted plants may watered with it safely, yet so far strong enough that by its constant ose the plants eub- pag as degree o7 paufiction Lan can boie i ean sured by the orthodox or any other method of artificial stimulos.FLOWERS AND THEIR MISSION.A hanging plant at à window is à sign of fenuenson di inside.No bad people g plants in windows.Beauty never assimilates with badness.No evil spirit can t through 8 window where there iss Bower.Bey avoid Gowers as Satan docs the form of the cross.Show me tbe poorest bovel witha plant in its window, aad | will show in- side of that hovel, goodness and ge |ing to thas plant and its owner.ly doubtedly seen other man).in order to snatch 216 \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ie have.0005, in my walles ubout towa, per! in the fourth or £\\b stery of some mesosubile build- lag, & little plant set out wpon the high window ledge.1 always stop aud say good morn- 1 case ve near borgin & horse the other day on Clari street.was aitached to à gy sod standing near the si \u2018ewalk.In front of bim was & cart laden with flowers, inte which this horse would bary Lis bead, soi he odors without injuring a plant or distarbing a petal.And as | stopped and said to the horse ¢ Good moroing, my desr follow, L wisb you bad a buman soal in you, so thst we could talk to each other,\u201d I wondered if he and the tiowers did not talk together in their own sort of way.I would trust thst dumb brute where | wouldn't trust a man who is not fond of flow.era.I cannot conceive of the composition of that man who dislikes flowers.I believe they bave the most graceful offices in the economy of nature.I do not believe the smallest violet which blossoms in the wood, or the tiniest flower which grows on the most distant praris, was made without & purpose by Him who used then more than else in Hi teachings to man.They go with us from the cradle to the grave, They brightan and bless tbe sick-room.They crown the marriage fesst.They accompany us to the long rest, snd they blossom over us when we are gone.Their breath is magical.The perfume of = rose will recall a long buried memory you had sup) to be dead forever.À little anemone you stumble upon in the woods will set in motion & train of thought carrying you back to scenes you had forgotten, A withered rose leaf, or a pressed bud, is a connecting link which makes life more beautiful, recalling the \u2018tender grace of a day that is dend.* MISCELLANEOUS.\u2014 KE Led little ends down, with dry bran rh thick between the layers and round the sides of the box, will stand almost any tumbling about without breaking.\u2014 The great globe itself is not wore interlaced with golden veins, and filled with prec ious things, than the field of revelation, the storehouse of the unsearchable riches of Christ.\u2014Io Sweden & mac who is seen drunk four times is deprived of a vote.If that rule had been in force in this country, some men who uow hold office would have been \u2018 elected to stay at home.\u201d \u2014 One bundred iadies of Dover, N.H., waited upon the liquor-desiers with petitions of over one thousand ladies, and Desought them to cense from their traffic.They visited the pastors, and the pledge in Suuday-schools, and not to nse fermented wine al communion.\u2014 In the early rush to California, a poor boy, named Charles Crocker, crossed the Missouri with an ox team, at this point, on his toilsome overland journey to the new gold re Last Fridsy\u201419 years after: to Ho tried it, aad in ing buroed to socket in forty-one years the lamp of life that had been trimmed to last foursoere.À draft upon the constitution in behalf of appetite is just as much a draft as in work;

and this is no part of the service for which they were made.Uf course stock is not permitted to run at large.Our German friends thus eave much expense in not having to fence their Selds.In addition to the saving of time and money, the beauty of the lan is much increased by the sbéence of fences, uninteresting objec-s that only serre to bide some of Nature's living greens by their ugly forms.One might think that it would be à ditticulty to drive cattie in droves along roads that are thus open to the fields.Lut Ido not recollect of ever seeing à single infraction of this order in this respect.They walk along the straight and narrow way, spring either to the right hand nor to the left wil » consistency that human mortals would do well to imitate in another sense.The fields of grain will compare well as regards size, with an ordinary city lot.Indeed many of them are much amsiler.Perhaps wo A eight rods would be their average size.This of course, refers to the fertile plaine, where tbe entire surface is under cultivati abd not the highlands that are sppropri to raising tmber or to Little corner stones mark the boundaries of these little farms end lots.I think that the object of thus dividing into such small iota is, to secure a better 0;
