FOR some time back we have been aware that a whisper was going the rounds that the prostrate Grit, chief- tain’s finances was in a desperate condition, and if something was not speedily done to relieve him he would sink beneath the accumula- ted burthcn of debt and disappoint- ments; while the sweets of office loomed in the distance. and the mOst foint. prospect of success preâ€" sented itselfâ€"~â€" “ ’Tis distance lends enchantrnentto the view!” he was emboldened to My on those Who Were indulging in tropes simi- lar to those entertained by Mr. hIicavaer, expecting “soriiothing to turn up,’ and looking forward to the good time coming when they would obtain possession of the government chest, and be able to help‘jthemselvesz; but the result of the late elections has closed this last chanceâ€"the big beggar-man has been driven from public life by an indignant people; and sec- ing no prospect of bullying men out of further assistance, a more humble course is taken to raise the wind.

It is proposed that the fund be augmented to $20,000. and that the presentation take place in the Crystal Palace, 'l‘oronto.” For our part we are at a loss to know wherein the public are un- der any obligations to Mr. Brown; we believe he has been a very ac- tive, energetic man, and looked sharply after his own interests; he brought. nothing into Canada when he came herc,-â€"â€"ho has enjoyed high life below stairs in the shape of Penitentiary commissions and other fat pickings,â€"â€"â€"but not being content with what government found convenient to give him, as his fair share of plunder, he starts on his own account, and ran chance 001' the spoils of office ; even since he has been compelled to wait un- til his time cainc,â€"-wlrich in due course did arrive on the 2nd of August, 1858, but lasted for so short a period that he had no opportunity of making up for lost time ; for on the 6th of same month his term of office expired, and the only public record we can find of his services is on page 52 of. the public accounts of 1858,“,vhere itcan be soon that he drew his four days pay as Inspector General, and was dubbed honour- able? into the bargain «wquito renough, we think.

' To preserve peace be always prepared for war,’ is a principle laid down by some of England's wis'ost statesman; and to the salutary effect which its Ob- servance has produced, may be as- cribed, in a great measure,the free- dom from foreign invasion, which turies. ln proof oftl’ic wisdom of this policy, we need only refer to events of comparatively recent date. At the time when the present Em- peror of the French, by a clever coup d‘clal attained to power, no- thing was talked of but French in- vasion and French aggrandisement, and fearsof danger from that quar- ter were not without foundation â€"-â€" But. the national spirit rose to the occasion, and very soon volunteer companies were formed throughout every county of England and Scotâ€" land, who by steady drill and con- stant practice, soon became so for- midable that invaders might think twice before venturing within range of their death-dealing ‘Enâ€" fields.’ Soon . the talk of invasion died away,and France thought pro- per to profess feelings of the warmâ€" est friendship towards her insular neighbor. Canada holds a some- what similar position towards the United States, that England at that. time held towards France. The American people are passrng When the struggle shall have ceased,thore is abundance of proof to show that there are thousands of them who would :gladly embrace the opportu- nity, which the existancc of an or» sent, to attack Canada. It is only necessary, however, to show to our telghbors south of the lakes, that we are prepared for them, to make ourselves certain, at the battle of Bulls Run, that they will never trouble us. Even if the heroes who displayed such alacrity in tho praisoworthy cause of selfâ€"preser- vation, will be satisfied with the laurels they gained at that memor- to add to them by similarcxploits in Canada. Our intercsrs are not for- gotten or neglected by the mother country ; and while we are invited and encouraged to exert ourselves in providing a portion of our na- tional defences, Vie have evidence that regular soldiers will not be wanting among us, when prudence demands their presence. But these troops which have recently arrived on our shores may be again remov- ed,lin which case we would be left to a great extent, to oar own re- sources; and we should therefore be preparer] to meet such an criter- gency. Rifle practice is a manly and exciting exorcise,and combines in a high degree‘tbe qualities of a useful training and an interesting amusement. Let every young man, then, emulate his neighbor in at- taining perfection in the use of this indispensable weapon of modern warfare. Let prizes be awarded for competition in every neighbor- hood; let the best. works on rifle- sliooting be procured and studied; and lot every means he adOpted to. accomplish this desirable resultâ€"â€" thus by preparing for invasron we shall prevent it; and by being in readiness for war We Shall SCCttt‘C that peace, which is indispensiblc to. our rrratorial prosperity. The late engagements in China have shown the decided superiority ‘ of tho Ar‘i'irsti'ong grins over every other species of artillery. If the frontier cities 2. nd towns ofCanada were defended by this dscription of _ cannon. they would be compara- tively safe.

Law to state to the - meeting what he know of the callâ€" ing of the meeting. Mr.- LAW stated that the Trus- toes of the section had commenced to build the addition to the School- house, and that contrary to the first understanding of the ratepayers it, (the new addition) did not run in a ‘ line with the ends of the Grammar (From tho Clubs.) ’ A very successful sale of choice stock came off at Wylies,,the residence of George Scott, The chairman, after introducing Esq, Scarboro', on Thursday the 1st inst. The called ‘ stock consisted of Durham, Galloway, and Ayr- .slrire cattle, and Cotswold and Leicester sheep. The number was not lar'ge,but very excellent in quality. They were all imported this spring by Mr. Simon Boattic, of Markham, who is a ,young man of enterprising spirit, and an excel- ‘lcntjudge of thorough-bred stock. This is his third importation, and we are: glad to observe that the prices on the present occasion. are so satisfactory.

The buyers were chiefly. breeders an advantage for many l‘CaSOUS, who wished to introduce new blood into their among “’lllllh are 3 lhe beauty and ,flocks. The following Were the actual sales:â€" unilormity of the building, the pro- ' .bable recessity of enlarging the? Common School to the north, when the side wall could have been taken down and rebuilt in a line with the Grammar School and the new addition. At present, by reason of the plan of the new building, this could never be done; the. present improvement (?) being 8 feet short on the north side, and 8 foot pro- jecting on the south. What be (Mr. Law) wished to draw attention to was. that he believed a majority of the Trustees had always considered that the new building was to be in ‘a line with the gables of the Gram- mar School, and- that the ‘ wool had been drawn over their eyes’ tool, so as to meet his peculiar views; and he would like to hear Mr. Barnard give his viewsâ€"he (Mr. B.) being a member of the building committee. 7 Mr. BARNARD very gontlomanly explained the affair. he. was one of a committee of three appointed to get plans and specifi- cations prepared for the new build- ing. That he had suggested to the others, who were Mr. Henry Hall and Dr. Duncnmb, the propriety of employing a proper person to get up the Plans and Specifications,but the Doctor said no I he (the doctor) would get thorn up, and it would not cost the section a cent; he did not believe in paying $10 or $12 for anything of the kind. He (Mr. B.) dissented from the doctor‘s View, and said it would be be ter to have a proper party to draw them up; but no, the doctor vvent i. to work and got thorn prepared.â€" I‘Ie sent for me one day, about half 'an hour previous to the hour ap- pointed for the whole Board of Trustees to meet, and wanted my assent to the Plan he. had prepared, which be (Mr. Barnard) refused to give. 'Mr. Hall assonting to it, the doctor saying that they (the whole Board of I‘r‘Ustces) might either adopt it or not. When it came be- fore that body it was accepted, but. he B.) did not’tlrink they un- derstood at the time that the doctor’s plan would deviate from the origi- nal idea of having the gable‘s to run parallel with the Grammar SchooL ‘ Mr. H. HALL explained his con- nection with the building commit- tee. He said, as chairman, Dr. Duncumb ought. to have called them together earlier, and not have taken so much upon himself. They had been led astray with the plan, only part of the ground plan being drawn. If he had understood that the south gable was to project, he would not have approved of it. Dr. LANGSTAFF had something to say in connection with the intended improvement. He condemned the new building in its present prisition, and regretted that it had been gone on with. He wished to say something with regard to the Common School ; he believed the Trustees intended to make many alterations in the internal arrangements Ofthe School, such as putting in new desks, &c. He thought that this ought to be left alone till they got the Drosent improvement finished and paid for, and that it was not advisable to remove the master’s desk present. Mr. Law came forward again, and said he would pay $10; and he was authorized to say that Mr. Wright would give other $10 to ‘ take down what had been built of the additionâ€"and he had no doubt that: they would get what more was required by subscription. Mr. Newton, the contractor, had said, that $50 or $1560 would pay for the alteration.
