The alterations proposed were to he as few as was consistent with the object the Government had in View, viz: to make the advisers of the Crown responsible for the government of India. It was propos- ed to abalisb the Court of Directors, and in lieu thereofto establish a Council to be composed of persons who have been in India, or who are well acquainted with Indian affairs.

After many severe struggles the mltrs of the nations began to feel that the surest road to prosperity and the strongest bulwark'against anar- chy consisted in a wise and intelliâ€" gent people. Years rolled on and made conviction only the stronger, till it became asapparent as the sun in its noon-day splendour that the people must be educated. Then came difficulty: how was the eduâ€" cation of the people to be conduc- ted, and of what should that educa- tion nonsistL ltisnot our gitention to enter minuteTy into the numerous controversies which this subject has given rise to, more particularly in Great Britain, the United States and Canada, but to present some of the most prominent features for the con~ sideratiou of our readers, in order that they may be conversant with the difficulty with which this all- important and vital question is sur- rounded.

Ever since the enlightenment of the people has engaged the attention of the Legis- lature, plans innumerableâ€"some plausible an i feasible, other ridicu- lously absurdâ€"have, from time to Lime, been discussed ; and frequent- ly that. which was most absurd has made the most noise, just as the more hollow the metal the greater volume of sound it emits, In the “ good old times ” education for the masses was a subject not even dreamed of. If a man raised him- ;self above being “ a hewer of wood lor drawer of water,” it was in spite of obstacles and difficulties all but ,invincible, The masses were in rerttreraefi'gnoranceJx +heata+e in ‘which they lived was, as compared ’with now, positively barbarous.â€" But at the invention of the an of ?printing a. mighty improvement in the educational advancement of the people become visible, much to the consternation of tyranny ; and then arose a mighty army, which no istatecraft could smother or despot- ‘ism repress, which convulscd the world, Causing the people who had hitherto “licked the dust” at the feet of their aggressor-s, to sever the gordian knot which had bound them, and with irresistible energy and resolution demand, “ am I 110?“ a man‘anda brother?” Sometimes ‘ it advanced with the ‘rapid strides l of a volcano, destroying everything t that opposed its march; at; otherl ;times it \vasheard in “the still l srriallvoice,”orseendescondinglike l a. gentle fructifying shower, clothing l the moral and intellectual world with the beauty and grandeur which 9,90ij satufy, or IS the Legislature t‘o mkc- upin itself the responsibility of instructing the pnople?

Appealing to Up- per Canadians, asthey are constant- ly in the habit of doing, that by the extension of this principle, above all,‘ the evils by which we are al- leged to he oppressed, will be re- moved. They have, singularly,en- ough, left its in the. grosscst ignorâ€" ance, for they really have- explain: ed nothing 0] the. details of i the measure. This policy, however, is beautifully adapted to the wants or the appetite ofthe village politicians, who, do the local spouting ’for the ‘ faction. They are time left in blissful ignorance of the course proposed by their leaders on the de~ tails of what we will concede to be a most important proposition, and consequently construe the intentions of their chiefs in any way that is *best’adpatefl twth’e preefinceiveél notions of the locality they may happen to be in. While we do eon- cede that it is al‘ery easy proceed.- ing onsthe part of the Clear Grit leaders to allow the village magâ€" nales of their party, to. give their own interpretation of the plan upon which the {details of the modifica~ tion of the representation is to be carried out by the gentleman ol' the Temperance street school, what are we to think of the leaders ofthe party who thus in effect confess their inability to grapple with the details of the proposed measure? Shallwe call them Statesmena or shall we not? Can we even, say that their course is characterised by honesty? Professedly they are in- dignant that the administration takes no initiator-y step in relation to the measure, yet the public are in blissful ignorance of the details ofllmir own measure. In connexion with these remarks we would invite the serious atten- tion of our readers ,to a very impor- tant petition presented by the trus- tees of the Roman Catholic Separ- ate School at Thornhill, to the Mark- ham Municipal Council, on the 20th ult., a full report of vwhich we gave in our last week’s issue. The petitioners pray for a proportion of l the Clergy Reserve fund for the sup- port of their school, both for last ‘year' and the present. It will be see: that they do not ask it as ‘a fa- vor but demand it as a right, “as,” say they, “the School Act specifies.” eremoLprepamdito glyyhgher or not the School Act forces upon us the necessity of supporting Ro- man Catholic Schools; but we feel we should not be doing our duty as journalists did we not early call the attention of the public to, the question, as important issues are involved therein. The question to be decided is: are ‘the petitioners legallycntitled tofwhat they request? If. the demand of the petitioners is in accordance with the provisions of the School Act, then, of course, our duty to the petitioners is clear. , ly defined; but if it is not legal, the question must be settled on other grounds. In the meantime let us 100k at this and every other question on the broad princika of, equity and justice. W'e ask, thc'r}, the organs of the party to indoctrinate us P Willthey b0 pléascd to signify to us theii‘ vicxrs and intentiohs on this ’sheet anchor oflheir hopes? Will they bé pleased to tell us, Whether, when they amend the representation, the electozul divisions shall be parcel- lcd out in‘ groups containizg‘an equal'proportiog ofmep, wdrpen and children in the gross, qr Shall the elecloral districts be composch of an equal number of elcctors, re- gardless of the female or infantile pbrtion? \Ve hear it stated that the party propose to adopt the univer- éal Sum-age plan and eqnnlise dis- tricts 9n a gross population. This ficulty arises on this question: is the government to educnte the peo- ple? If it is, how are the funds to be raised? and when raised, on what principle are the schools to be founded ? Is it to be sectarian or un- sectariap? Is each denomination to havei‘gnoney granted to their: to support, their respeegve- schools; or are common @0015 tozhe the order of the day? do not; give our. selifészjii‘nreseriedly to ‘any of the different systems adilocated; ‘We merely glance at them to show the public the complexity of the ques- tion. so as to enable them to _act in- telligently sh auld our Common Schools and the disposal of the Clergy Reserve fund be again agi- tated, which (if We rightly discern the signs of the times) seem very probable.

The \plUliteer companies uflerwa *dx marched through the principal streets of the City, nnl finally dispersed to their‘scr; eral drill-rooms. On Friday last, the 26th -.ult., ant Iinquest was held at the residence [of Mr. Peter Rupert, near the vil- lage of Maple, on the body of a male infant which had been found by Mr. Rupert in a snow~drift near his' dwelling on the previous day. Coroner Bridgford conducted the investigation, and from the evidence adduced we gather the following particulars :â€"-â€"â€"â€"A young woman, named Ann Brophy, a servant in Mr. Rupert’s family, had for sortie time past exhibith signs :of preg- nancy, and on the day when the infant was 40qu discov- ered by Mrs. Rupert in an out-build- ing, evidently in great isutfering. 0n enquiry, it was found that she had given birth to'a child, but as no trace of itl-c'ould :hgggen in the building, a Search xvasf‘iiiistitutcd', when its lifeless body was found as above stated.

Smith informed His Excellency that he had been chosen as Speaker ofthe Asscmbly, and claimed for the members of [bat body their accustomâ€" ed Parliamenlnry privileges. These were grnnled in the usual form, after which His Excellency delivered, in English and French, the following speech :â€" ffaflorizbflle Gelitlemen of the Lrgislazive The péople of Can-add, as they hard sympathized with the danger and the sui- ferings 01' t-hujr fallow subjects, will in like munngr lfL‘jSOice at the vigour which has uhqck‘cd ihls reheiliorix and wxll'appreciage, the 'steufast coiirdge' and pers'cvel‘nnce which have distinguished our 'countrymen ,in. the East.
