Two other steamers, the Merrime and Sylph, also arrived at Plymouth, it is believed intended for the same destination. The brig E. Fleming from Cliarles- ' too had reached Liverpool with a cargo of rosin and turpentine. She left Charleston in company with seven other vessels. The Times regards the defeat of Banks as one of the most important successes of the Confederates, on account of the lesson it teaches the North, showing that efforts and sacrifices, greater than any that have gone before, must be made, if even a bor- der- State is to be won back to the Union.

THE MIDLAND DIVISION. l‘nn selection of Mr. Gainble,as the Moderate - Conscrativc candidate, for the office of Legislative Coun- cillor, appears to give. general satis- faction throughout this division.â€" Even many of those who have hitherto been opposed to him in po- litics, are willing to admit the su- ‘ periority of his claims, over those of his openenet. His undoubted en- ergy and business talent; his thorough acquaintance with public affairs, and his intimate familiarity with parliamentary matters, emi- nently fit him for representing this wealthy and intelligent constitu- ency with credit and satisfaction. But. he possesses other claims on the electors of the Midland Division.~ He is a local man; and it may be taken as a good and safe rule, that when a local man can be found, possessing the requisite talent and qualifications, he is to be preferred to one who resides at a distance.â€" ch will be disposed to dispute this. There are various consider- ations, that will readily present themselves to the mind, in favour of giving such the preference.

This prudent medium between the violent ex- treme of party, is certainly the only safe course for the legislator.

Hwâ€"~â€"» The Stoufi‘vflle Celebration. .â€" Wn, last week, noticed the an- nouncement of a contemporary in reference to the forthcoming cele- bration at Stoufl'villc. We were then, in common wiihothers, dis- posed io doubt that the inhabitants of that village had selected the 3rd ofJuly as the most fitting day on which to commemorate the early settlement of Canada. From their advertisement, however,we observe that such has been the case. They have decided, it appears, to com- memorate the ‘3rd ofJuly, 1607;’ although we cannot tell for what reason, as no event of importance with respect to Canada, occurred during that year. in the year 1608 Champlain laid the foundation of the city of Quebec, the future capi- tal ofthis country, and this is pro- bably the event it is intncded to ce- lebrate. But if they regard this as the earliest settlement of Canada, we think, on a more careful exami- nation, they will find themselves in error. The previous settlement, it is iron, was nor of so permanent a character, but this does not in any way affect the correctness of our conclusion. Robcrval settled a colony at Cape Rouge, in the year 154l,having brought over 200 souls, men, women and children, from France, for that purpose. This was undoubtedly the first settlement of Canada. If there should be any difference of opinion, as to the pro- pr'cty of designating it as such, the question may easily be set at rest, by a reference in any recent autho- rin on the subject. lVe stated, also, that we under- stood St. Lawrence's day had been appointed for the celebration. This statement was made on the autho- rity of Mr. Sangster himself, who, some weeks since, intimated to a friend, that he would be unable to attend a certain meeting, which was appointed to take place at Ha- milton, on the first week of August next. as he had engaged to deliver an address at Stoufl'ville on the oc- casion of the celebration of St. Lawrence’s day in commemoration of the discovery of Canada. he sup- posing of course that this would be the most suitable day. Possibly the fact that St. Lawrence's this year falls on Sunday may have had something to do with the present arrangement. ...â€".mwâ€"d DESTRUCTIVE Fine IN BRADFORD.-- We regret to learn that a very destructive fire occurred in Bradford the night before last.

The officers and brethren of Vaughan Lodge were also present, with a beautiful banner. The Sharon band dis- courscd sweet music at intervals, which tended to enliven the happy scene. The usual forms and cere- monies being over, the brethren formed in procession, and proceed. ed to the Presbyterian Free Church, where an eloquent and excellent sermon was delivered by the Rev. G. S.

(To the Editor of, the York Herald.) SIR,â€"â€"-During the last two or three (lays a number of persons have made enquiries of me respecting the aclion of the Church of England Synod, which met in Toronto last week,on those two important qucsiions, Separate Schools, and University Educa- tion. It cannot be doubted that the deli- berations of our Synod are year by year acquiring greater importance, and are ex- ercising considerable influence on the course of legislation. Nor can it be a matter of surprise that this should be the case, when. it is remembered that the Sy- nod comprises not only all the clergy within the Diocese, but also Lay-Dele~ gates, the chosen representatives of every congregation, andthat among these are to be found many of the men who are the most eminent in Canada in their respectivo professions, and are distinguished for their talents, their acquirernents, their social po- sition and the influence which they exer- cise. The decisions of such a body can- not bul have weight with the Legislature ; and I would therefore beg your permission to state, for the information of your read cossary change in the School law‘s. On in .;.,.;2_.3~.&¢r Cnflifi‘?‘ Comillll‘he Admiralfly ‘Wednesduy last they brought up their have settled with Captain Colcsas follows: Report, which stated that the Chief Suâ€" _ The nation becomes the eXclusive posses- . l . o g o o ""‘“‘“’""â€"" perintendent had prepared a measure, sor ofihe invention in consnieration ofpay-r- which, but for the change of ministry, in: down £5,000,und granting to Captain would have been introduced, and probably Coles £100 for every copula broughtinto paSsed, at the last session of the Legisla- ture; that this measure had been sub- mitted by him to the Bishop of“ Toronto, and the members of the Committee, and that they were perfectly satisfied With it as granting alllha‘t was sought. At the same time rcsoluiions were introduced rc- commending a continued appeal to the Legislature, and the appointment of a new committee to act in the matter. Mr. lIodgins, the Chief Superintendent’s de- puty, is a member of Synod,’and as such, moved in amendment that the Synod has no desire to interfere with the existâ€" ing school system, and that no action be taken. He tried to show lhatwhat we asked was different from that which ‘ Dr. fiycrson proposed to grant. But fortu- nately we had a copy ofhis proposed mea- sure, and We are quite content to take that as it stands. The debate was very long and interesting; the speakers On both sides being chiefly laymen. Upon a division being taken the resolutions were carried by a vote of forty-five to nine of the clergy, and twenty-nine to twelve parishes crs, what was the result of the debates upon the two important questions to which I have referred. And first, as to the Separate School question, I have no intention of entering upon the merits of Separate Schools, but I Thornhill, June, 26, 1862. propose simply to state the facts. It is then a fact that a large proportion of the clergy of the Church of England, and a consxderable number of the laity, are of opinion that systematic religious training ought to form a part of a national system of education, and that the alarming pre- valence of vice among the young, and especially the want of rcverehce for all authority, divine and human, the profane language which shocks our ears wherever boys are assembled, the want of respect for superiors in age and station, and the disobedience to parents, which are so characteristic of the rising generation, are the natural and inevitable result of a system, which sharpens the wits and sliâ€" mnlates the intellect, but does not, through the influence of religion, develOp the mo- ral principleand leaves the heart untouched This, I say, is the opinion entertained by a large number of the members of our church. Now it is unhappily the fact, that, owing to our religious divisions, and the multiplication of sects, no system ol religious teaching could be devised which would be generally acceptable. Hence the non~religious character of our present system. llao‘ this system been consist- ently carried out in Upper Canada, We might have been dissatisfied with it, but we should at all events have had no reason to complain of unfairness. But when “’1'? saw the priiilegc of giving a religious education to their children granted to the lemon Catholics â€"â€" a minority as compared with the members of the Church of Englandâ€"we conccrved that we Were eniiiled to claim for ourselves the some privilege as a right. And observe that we ask for no exclusive privilege; we have always contended that it shall be conceded to every religious denomination that chooses to accept it ; in a word, that it shall be possible to educate religiously every child. The newspapers, and espeâ€" cially the Globe, have represented this demand as an attack upon the Common School system, and call upon the people not to allow that system to be destroyed in order to gratify sectarian prejudices.~â€" Now I will venture to assert that the Common School system has no warmer lriciids, no more strenuous supporters, and none who have contributed more to the success of its working, than the clergy ol the Church of England. in this very county at large number of the Locil >ii- perintcndents and School 'l‘rnstees are Church of England Clergymen, and cer- tainly they are not the least efficient.â€" 'l‘liese men would not concur in any ac- tion which endangers the preScnt system. On the contrary, it is because it is calcu- lated to remove a most important defect in that system, to supply a most important want. and thereby to give to it strength and stability, that for the last ten years we hare urged this demand, It is in the cities and towns that the present Com- mon School system has proved a failure ; it is there that, while it has at an cnor~ mous expense to the public provided an cxueilent education for the children of the irarlesinan and the wellrto~do mechanic, it has utterly tailed to reach that large class, the children of the poor, for whose espe- cial benefit it was intended. Thousands of these are growing up in ignOiance and vice, preparing themselves for every imâ€" aginable Crime, and entailing a feaiful in» heritance of misery and woe upon the next generation. I'Ve ask the privilege of being enabled to reach this class, by means of religious training combined with secular instruction. We ask, and it is all we ask, that where, in cities and tovvns, any religious denomination shall, out of their own mzans, erect a school-house, and provide a teacher, they shall be entitled to ashare of the government grant in proportion to the number of pupils. We desire that these schools shall form part of the general system, shall be subject to the same inspection and the same regula- tions, and that the teachers shall pass the same examinations as those of other schools. We believe, as I hear already said, that the principle of religious teach- ing is a sound one; and we hope that the day will come when it will he adopted throughout Canada. But we see that in the present state of the country, and pro- bably for many years to come, the grant- ing of Separate Schools to other denomi- nations in the same way that Roman Ca- tholics have them, would endanger the whole system now established, and we Would carefully avoid anything that would endanger it. We believe, on the con- trary, that in towns and cities, so far from endangering it would give great ad 2 ditional strength to the system. A few inoreyword‘s upon the action of our Synod.

Williamson‘s. The buildings entirely of wood, were, ho rvever, beyond the power I of water to save, and they continued to burn until scarcely a vestige of them reâ€" mained. The firemen took the engines into the bay, and did what they could, working up to the middle in Water, to save the wharves, in which effort they Were fortunately successful. The \Vaddell Warehouse was empty, with the exception of about 80 Or 90 bushels of wheat. In the other, however, there stored 2,700 bushels of spring wheat. belonging to M r. Samuel Stone, ofAnrastcr, which was un- insured. llis loss is about $2,500.
