Had he been content to wait for the enemy in the entrenclnn'ent goal of Azimghur he would have been safe. There were ample means of de- fence there. 'l‘heugao? was surrounded by thick walls and a deep ditch; provis- ions could hare been brought in, and pre- parations made for a stout reststance. Colonel Mihnan, after his victory, retired slowly healing doubtless of the advance ofa superior l’orcc. But the enemy came down upon, him in overwhelming num- bers. He lost his camp, and had to hur- ry into Azinigliur, and made hasty pre- parations for tlelenee. Koor Sing hast- ened to attack, and on the Qtth had completely surrounded our force and opened batteries on the entrenclunents. No time had been lost In the mvunnhile in sendingmews oflhe disaster to Benares, aid the news arrived late on the evening, of the 25th.

On the 38th Sir Edward Lugard, with the 34-th, 84th, and 20th regiments, the Military Train, some native cavalry and artillery, marched rapidly towards ‘Azimglmr.

Nor is this the 01ny unfavourable in- telligence ‘hat reaches us from this part of the country. A letter from ,anares of the 27th ult., says :â€" The month or March has passed ; we are on the eve of the great beats, and we have still a vast amount ol‘ territory to recores from the insurgents.

But, after the action the insurgent masses seperated ; a part remained at Belwa entrenehmenls, whilst the remain- dtr, by a movement to the westwardy down the course of the Gogra, threw themselves across at 'l'anda, and pencâ€" trated in the Ghorruckpore and Azimghur districts, where they were rallied by Koor Sing, the. old arch traitor ot' Sltztdn bad. Elated with the possession of so fine a force, Koor Sing resolved on a march towards Bcnares, _by way 01 Azimghur, and on the 23'dvliis vanguard was within twenty miles ot‘that place. ’J‘hc mails by the North American ar- rirul lust night The only news of in- tervstis from India. the Bombay maul: [mung arrwcd two days before the sailing 01 [he steamer. \\ 0 copy 110m the Daily chu’s corl'espoudclll :â€" Slock<.â€"Exchnngv Consuls for m’onpy. 97.; g di_llo {or al'counls, 975 3 ', Three pr-r Cent, 96“," §.

MAY 21,1858 Then came the Council meeting, and he found that we carried out our honest convictions regardless of our popularity. \Ve believe that we were elected to administer fair and impartial justice to all, and although we are equally opposed with Mr. Reesor to Separate Schools, we did not chose to perâ€" petrate an act of injustice. W'e begged of Mr. Reesor to explain why he took the course he did ; he, however, uncourteously refused. We stated then that if he would show us why they were not en- titled to have their petition granted, we would vote for his resolution. We gave Dr. Ryerson’s opinion on the subject, but this would-be lawyer treated the opinion with contempt, declining, however, to give one single reason why that eminent authority should be set at defiance. Yet, in the faca of all this, so ut- terly regardless is Mr. Reesor of veracity, that he. again states in his paper of May 6th :â€" -- That Mr. Trudgeon should have voted in fuvor of giving the Clergy Reserve Fund to the support of Separate Schools. in tho von‘ (re of the law. is really too bud.” ' It will be seen that up to that pe- riod the Economist does not charge us with supporting Separate Schools. He confines himself to imputing to us dishonest and un- worthy motives. He never enlight- ened the. public with one syllable as to his own intentions. He at- tacked us so that he might thereby feel the public pulse, and which ever way he found that boating, he would be found acting accordingly. ‘Vhat a. paragon of virtue Mr. Reesor is. But now for a change.

In the meantime, let. us look at this, and ovary other question. on the broad p.tuciples of Equity and JllallCe.” To which Recsor replied, by as- serting that we were only smirk- ing, and wished to get a little praise from the .Mirror. To which we again replied :â€" thus We next notice his remarks on the position we have assumed on the Separate School question.â€" VVe will give a quotation from our first article on this question, and also the remarks we made when the Thornhill Petition was pre- sented. These were our only re- marks on this Occasion :â€" Mr. Trudgeon stated that the petition went to show that they were entitled to it. The following week we stated Really, Mr. Reosor, we did think you had more sense in your head than to insult the public with such bare-faced efl‘rontery. You write slanders, and then beg your readers to applaud you; and not only that, you have the impudenceto state that We will never meet you in (le- bate upon public grounds. Which is certainly true, if you mean by it that we will never use your wea- pons to fight by. we promise you that when “'0 are lost to shame we’ll use them, but not till then.

Every one will at once perceive that he is self-convicted of false- hoodâ€"such disingenious and pal- try replies speak for themselves; they require no comment. But so unabashed is his forehead, that he thinks he is entitled to honor for publishing such gross slanders.â€"â€" He says :â€" true,'!‘or tho simp‘e reason a chance. The collectors not yet been nypoimed. that he has riot had for this war have The first danger to which young men were exposed were from how and immoral companions. Young men are unsuspecting, eager for pleasure, giddy, and gay. Hence the great danger of evil associates. One of the bittercst curses of the Greeks wasâ€"v“ May you live in bad company.” It often led to the use of profane language, which was both senseless and vulgar, and debasing in its tendency. No young man, possessed of any feel- ings of self-respect, would demean himself by swearing. It was ex- ceedingly sinful. Swear not at all I was the express command of the, Saviour. Licentiousness was an- other danger to which Young men were exposed, the evils of which were strongly and eloquently 03‘" posed by the lecturer. ‘ On Tuesday the 18th inst.,a Lec- ture was given in the Grammar School, Richmond Hill, by the Rev. Mr. Dick. Subjectâ€"The dangers of young men. G. P. Dixon, Esq., presided. There was a large and attentive audience. The Rev. gentleman commenced by stating that he should confine himself to the. dangers of young men, and not take up their duties as previously announced, as he found it would be impossible to do justice to both in an evening lec- ture. He would, however, give a lecture on the duties of young men at his earliest convenience. l Our readers will discover, from the quotations we have given from the Esonnmist, the mean and contemptible spirit which has actuated Mr. Reesor in all his discussions with us.â€"-â€" This week he has given quo- tations, which by no law of honesty or fairness, will support the remarks he has made upon them.-â€"- We supported our position by an eminent authority, which even he cannot gainsay. Our vote, he says, is an insult, and proves that we uphold Separate Schools.â€" Our vote does no such thingâ€"and any schoolâ€"boy of common sense knowsâ€"â€"that a vote which enforces law does not commit a person to the approval of the law itself. A law may be unjust, and yet it may be the duty of a Council‘ to give effect to that law while it is law. Mr. Reesor, where is your logic, or your common sense? lVe suppose it is gone a. hunting in “ Dred Scott’s ” dismal swamp, or gone crazy at the thought of possibly being an M.P.P., instead of him whom. you style “a bluntedged tool.” If it is, we beg of you not to let the chimeras of future greatness take away what little sense you’ve got. But perhaps we wrong you. It is simply the fumes of tobacco and whiskey that makes you muddle~ headed. If so, send at once for Mr. Davidson. Yea, do anything that will raise your intellect and heart from its present degraded and low condition. Learn to speak the truth, and before you throw stones at your neighbor’s windows, take care and not live in a glass house yourself. " We: did not court (ha praiwes of the Mir- rnr, any more than we cared for the frowns of the “Economist.” We thunk it wvll be long are the Mirror. or any one else. wxll praise the Ecunnmist forjmtice or fairness.” 'l'he Mirror then proceeds to give the re- muks we have quoled above, and conliuuas his compfimeuu. we“ spiced with 3111ch blur- nny, as follows :â€" “Since one of (he ablrst men in the Kid- ing (meaning the Guzeuu editor) has thus learlesfly expressed his Opinion. we cannot, think any {Luther opposi‘ion will be ofl'eled lo the Mankham Separule School 'l'ruslees." Neither the quotations he has given of our speech in Council, (which was a bona fide one,) nor that of our articles will bear the construction he strives to put upon them. They only show that we were anxious to do justice, which was the purpose for which we were elected. He again quotes the .Mirror’s praise, which we subjoin with our reply thereto, given afew weeks since :â€" The Toronto Min-or quoted lnrgaiy from Mr. 'I‘rudgeon’s paper. and then patted him on the back. in the following style 'â€" “ The tulcntad editor of the Richmond Hill Gazelle has the following n marks in his Iasl issue. They speak well both for his head and his heart.” We fearlessly assert that no one, unless ‘lost to shame, could have again, without a shadow of proof, reiterated the same untruthful charges. “ We believe the Separate School system to be unjust in theory. and unfair in practice. and happy should we be to use our influence towards repealing the law that sustains them. We have always hold these views. and fear- lessly asserted them ; audit is only the mean aclnf a cowardly enemy's slander to fasten such a reproach upon us in order to advance his own feat ebbing popularity." A grealer untrth than this it is scarcely possible to conceive.â€" Which statement of the Economist we denied the next day in the fol- lowing terms :â€"~ We rcplled again :â€" PUBLIC LECTURE. [13? It will be seen by reference to our new Advertisements, that Mr. Eustty intends holJing one of his well-known Crockery sales in Richmond Hill, on Tuesday next.

A superior Brass Band has been an- aged. The full au‘angemeuts have not yet been made. At the conclusion of the Rev. Mr. Dick’s lecture, on the motion of Mr. Sanderson, seconded by Mr. Falconbridge, the following gentle- man were appointed as officers and Comminee of the above associa- tion for the ensuing year :â€" MECHANICS INSTITUTE AND LIBRARY ASSOCIATION OF RICHMOND HILL. 8%- We have received from Mr. Wm. H. Orr, of Oshawa, a copy of “Pilman’s Manual of Phonog- raphy,” a Work designed to afford complete instruction in Phonetic Short-Hand Writing. It contains about 100 pages, and a portion of it is interleaved with engraved pages of phonographic characters. illustrative of the printed instruc- tions on the opposite pages. From the full, yet simple and plain man- ner in which the instructions are given, and the ample engraved il- lustrations, we should judge there would be little difficulty experi- enced in mastering the system.â€" Unintelligible as the characters at first appear, we are assured by those who have learned the art of writing Phonography that its sim- plicity and naturalness is such as to render its acquisition much easier than the uninitiated would imagine. The latter portion of the book con- tains a progressive series ofwriting lessons, commencing with single consonants, and ending with verba- tim reportinw. The Manual also contains an essay on “The Ad- vantages of Shortâ€"Hand.” and a se- lect list of the publications of the American Phonetic Association. The lecturer then traced out many of the rich blessings the bible :had given to society. It abolished infanticide. Wife murder, gave noble institutions to support the lu- natic, the blind, the deal, the pros- titute, the destitute, and the poor. The above is but a very short and imperfect outline of the lecture, our limited space preventing us from extending it. A vote of thanks was unanimously passed, and suitably acknowledged by the lecturer. The thanks of the meet- ing were also voted to the chair- man, and also to the Rev. J. Boyd for his kindness in arranging and getting up such a course of useful and instructing lectures. Presidentâ€"Amos \Vright, Esq., M.P.P.; Vice-President, G. P. Dixon, Esq.; Secretary, Rev.

Mr. Mr. Dr. THE QUEEN'S BIRTHrDAY The third danger was Infidelity, in which he included all disbelief of revealed religion. Avgwed atheism was not common now, nor brutalising socialism. Infidelity, in these days was disguised,rnore specious, and hence more danger- ous. It was found floating through the clubs debating societies, and light literature ofthe day. It came in the disguise ofcharity, and freedom of thought. It was given to young men in homeopathic doses. It taught that man was irresponsible for his belief, the superexcellence of natural religion, made sweeping assertions in order to beguile young menâ€"gave no arguments in' sup- port of its assertions; was a mere system of objections. It sought to undermine the very foundations of society. The second danger to which young men Were exposed was, their proneness to form rash, crude, and imperfect notions concerning reli- gion and morality, which was to be in some measure attributed to the imperfect and limited know. ledge and experience possess- ed by young men. The ignor- ance and conceit of our youth were then exposed concerningthe charac- ter of God and Jesus Christ. Athe- ism, unitariasm, anduniversalism, were great errors to which young men were often exposed, as many highly gifted and intellectual men had advanced many plausible and specious theories in support of each of these isms. Hon. Mr. Ross Government would formation asked for Hon. Mr. Monms moved for a statement of all Bonds and Deben< tures, in which special funds amounting to $2,445,501 and 9]cts.., are invested. Hon.

TUEvnAY, May 18th._ Three petitions were presented praying that a bill might be passed. 10 prevent Sabbalh desecration. Hon. Mr. Ross replied that no wrong had been done to \he public,‘ nor any gains made by lhe officets in his dopartmt‘nt. Their prophecies are worth about as much as those predictions, which are made annually by cer- tain people. namely, that next year the world will most assuredly come to an end. But, nevertheless, the world still stands, and for what, we can see to the contrary, is likely to do so at least for a few years longer. Still, these prophets have one consolation. that is that if every year they prophecy the world’s dissolution, they will evi- dently be right when it is dis- solved. We really think that the Clear Grit‘s must have taken les- sons from these prophets, so that when happily the Government is dissolved, they may be able to tum; round and say: “There, did we not tell you that the Ministry could not possibly hold out muehlonger.” It is by these means they strive to get the credit of being very wise and far-seeing politiciansâ€"their hope is that the people will forget their being so often wrong, when it is found that foronee they are right, as some time or other, of course, they cannot fail to he. Hon. Col. Plume}: introduced a; bill to amend the law for the ad- mission of English Solicitor’s and Attorneys to practice in the Cana- dian Courts 01 Law and Equity. The bill was read a first time. Hon. Mr. FERGUSSON brought up1 from the Committve, a reporton the bill for the amendment of the Railway Clauses Consolidation Act, and the act to prevent Acci‘ dents on Railways. The political news of this weel‘ is very meagre and unimportant.â€" The spirits of our M.P.P’s. seem t0 be something.r like the weather, dull and heavy. The measures discussed are not of the exciting. nature to call forth any extraordi- nary display of oratorical power or debating ability. The only event that seems to he talked about by Mr. Brown, is the return of Mr, McDougall for North Oxford, which. is paraded with great bombast and exultation by the Clear Grit chief and his followers. The fate of the Ministry, according to them, is. scaled, and very soon they will have to go by the wall, and North. Oxford has done it allâ€"but we would advise our readers not to be too credulous in this respect.â€" We rather think that the wish of Mr. Brown and his party is, in thi instance, (as in many others) “the father to the thought.” We beg respectfully to remind. our numerous readers that the An. nual Spring Show and fair will be held on Wednesday next in this village.
