Tm: inability of any government to effect a very large reduction in the expenditure, will become manifest to any one who takes the matter into consideration. The public debt has become so great that the interest upon it, and the require- ments of the sinking fund, now form the bulk of the annual expen- diture of the Province. If the re- venue exceed tbc expenditure, so that there remains a surplus in the public treasury, the government may expand this in the redemption of. the Provincial bonds, and so re- duce the interest item in the Public Accounts. Unfortunately, this has ceased to be the case in Canada, and the public credit has had to be sustained forthc last six years by large annual additions to our pubâ€" lic debt. The financial condition of. the Province has become alarm- ing; the strictest economy and the most judicious administration for many years, will be required to bring about a satisfactory change. Of. course presumptuous quacks will. arise eager to experiment on the finances of the country, and promising a speedy and effectual remedy, and they may succeed for a time in deluding the ignorant.â€" All this should only urge the public the tnorc to demand reductions whenever they can be effectedâ€"â€" The annual appropriations of the Legislature can be controlled" to some extent by the govornmentEâ€"~â€" it is supposed to have a majority in its favor. and'if it should decide that the state of the cxcbcquer would not warrant the appropriation of money to a certain object, however laudable and important, the majo- rity would no doubt acquiesce in the decision, and act accordingly. influence of this kind judiciously used, would in a short time bring about an equilibrium between the receipts and the expenditure. The nation should live within its in- come, as‘ well as the individual, and the same motives of prudence“ which regulate the affairs of a household, ought to, regulate its af- fairs. Had this been kept in view, the acts. which have given rise to, the Municipal Indebtedness, the Parliament Buildings, 82c, would have been pos.poned a few years. Though we cannotexpcct our legis- lutorslc be always able toforesce the proper: Course, yet- we should ever urge them to pursue a slow, sure. conservative course, unawed by the clamour of the mob, and un- swayed by the solicitations of in- terested friends. Giving way to these latter has done much injuryi to the country. The amount expended in salaries isverv much under the control of the government. Ministers can determine the number of salaried officers, as. well as the amount each is to receive. When it is consideredthat. this extends to the civil, military and judicial admini- stration of the country. it. will be‘ seen that a considerable reduction 1 might be effected. under this head. The number ofemployees should be reduced to the lowest necessary to secure efficrency, and great. care should be taken to adopt measures to prchnt heads of offices from bc- 1 ing able to make- llieir oflices al-yy most sinecures by. devolving the work upon their subordinates. The emoluments should bear some rc- laliou to the work performed; To give a thousand or fifteen hundred dollars ayear to a clerk who. reâ€" quires liltlé education or experience , ll.) fill the duties of a paltry office, the temptation altogether. The salaries of Ministers them- selves, the furnishings for the pub- lic departrrents, the public printing, &c., are also to a certain extent under the control of the government. We believe a great deal might be gained by a more judicious system Mr.Jo|m Fields and Mr. William lrc- land as security for M r. William Graham, lnn Keeper.-â€"â€"Carried. S.

The CounCil then went into Committee of the whole. 0f Pabllc advertising and printing ;l Committee arose and reported as fol- by a more careful letting and super- vision of the public works; and by the adoption of forms less anti- quated and savouring less of the circumlocution ofiice than those at present in use. Has the present Administration shown itself able and willing to undertake a systematic scheme of retrenchment? We trow not.-â€"- in the first place Ministers have shown too great a desire to gratify the wishes of their political friends by appointing many of them on commissions to inquire into the condition of various departments of the public service. These gentle- men werc in many cases ill qualified for the duties they undertook; hence the public will be slow in placing much reliance on their re- ports. Thc commissions were, moreover, so expensive that. it will be difficult to effect in two or three years a saving large enough to cover the outlay incurred. in the second place, the application of this retrenchment has been very partial. We believe there is at least one (le- parlmcnt in which no change what- ever has been made, either in the number or salaries of'tl'ie employees. No rule appears to have been borne in mind in determining the number of dismissals, and the reductions of salary are made so as to fall less on those who had liberal salaries than on those whose salaries were but small in the third place, they have taken too great care lest the proposed reduction of salary should touch themselves, though their own salaries, and also those of some other funmionaries enjoying large emoluments, might well be reduced one-third, and remain large even then. They seem to have no idea what- ever of a scheme of retrenchment worthy of a great country or of an enlightened age. The beginning and end of their plan seem to be, to send out commissions to inquire whether certain clerks may be dis- pensed with, and whether others may be reduced in salary with any prospect of public benefit; then, upon receiving the reports of the Commissioners, and paying out large sums for fees, travelling exâ€" penses, printing, 820., they dismiss the unlucky clerks, and inform the lucky ones that they have been reâ€" ceiving too high salaries, and that it is the intention of the Govern- ment to. reduce these according to a certain! scale; after which, they turn aroundand inform the public that they have made a saving of the. difference between the amount paid to clerks. this year, and that to be paid next. Surely political quack- cry can gono further. A sorry re- trenchment, indeed, to justify the abandonment of 1heir party prin ciples to embrace the identical po- licy pursued by. the late Gov vernment. . >D< Spring Fairs.

A large concourse of people, among whom we recognized all our most distinguished citizens, followed the hearse to the R.

A cursory sketch is to the following purpose: He deeply regretted the absence of unanimity amongst Protestants. A house divided agaiist itself cannot stand.â€" Friends in a common cause we are yet di- vided by sectarian disputes; but at a time like llllS minor opinions should be held in abeyance, and a close compact front. sus- tained to oppose all encroachments on our lawful rights and liberties. The Separate School Bill was like a Wedge which is gently insinualed into the end of a log. With every blow it creeps further in, till shortly it splils and shatters in pieccs the entire, log. This bill would make a similar effect on our magnificent system of education; and even now the noble superstructure was tottering to its very foundation. He recollected an inci- dent which Occurred when the Separate School Bill was first introduced: and it is worthy of notice, as showing the tendency this further extension Will have. some children, who previously passed to and from school without any uni-ply conduct. seemed naturally to feel that all Protes- tants were their enemies; and thus one afternoon he saw a number of them freely using Mr. Bealty’s stones with no other Intent than that of niacadainising.

But Papacy has been long on the dc: cline, and is rapidly verging to its fall.â€"-- No nation has ever prospered where the Priest has combined political and religious power; and at lhe present day every kingdom is rising up against the thraldom of the Pope.

A knowledge of Geography is of the greatest importance, and that system which most easily, efficiently. and cheaply gives us this is of‘thtr greatest Value. iMr. Hodgins’ incomparable little book accom- plishes all this, and is very int eresllng be- sides. Not only does it contain all that other Geograpliy’s poasess but it is beau. tifully and profusely illustrated, thus ail- ding a pictorial representation that the mind may be impressed by both ‘Eycs and Ears.’ Most artfully does he Wile his young pupils into the practical objccl of Geography by his ‘ Conversational things in Geography which little boys and girls often See, but do not understand] “ '1. We should remember that were ll not that books of Geography have been uritlen, containing descriptions of the Earth and what is on its sniface, people would have to travel OVt‘l" it in order to see the great cities, oceans, rivers, and mountains which covers its vast surface. Now, as many little boys and girls do not travel very far from home, they should be glad to learn from GoOgrapliies all about the wonderful World on which they live. “‘2. We shall now suppose our little learner to be taking a short trip with Us away from home. We will go With him and help to explain to. him [no names of many things which we shall See on our way. “3. But before setting out, we will ask lfour lilt‘lc travelling companion has not often thought that all the rest of the Earth was very small compared with the size of that. part about his ovvn home; andpalso if he does not think that only the place where he lives, as far as he can see, is covered all over with the beauliful sky This Geography is designed these and above him. to show him his mistakes iii other matters . “4:. Any little boy who lives in the country has no doubt often seen a; river, 'a lake. an island, or a mountain; but does he not often Wonder where the great cities are, with their home and hustle: and the wide ocean, with its storms and waves. its ships and steamers! any little boy who lives in a city must often wonder where the country is, with all its trees and fields and meadows, for the sky seems to shut them all out. . “ 5. After leaving home. the first thing we may see is a stream of water running across the road, having a bridge over ll. When such a stream is large, the banks on either side are Often high. are low and the stream is small, the stream is called a ‘Riv-u-let,’ or, in America, ‘ Creek.’ In other parts of the \Vorld, ‘Creek’ means an inlet of the sea. if the stream is large. it is called a ‘ River’; when it descends over broken rocks, it is called a ‘Torrent’; and when over low rough rocks or large stones, it is called a ‘ Rapid”; but if it suddenly falls from a great height, as in the Niagara River, it is called a ‘ Fall’ or ‘ Cat-a-ract.’ In conclusion we would advise all Tea- chers to procure this book immediately, if they have the interests of their pupils at heart.

The Confederates then con- tinued firing from If p.in.. till 2 a m., upon each succeeding vessels as it passed. The only damage done us was the firing of the ‘Henry Clay,’ one of the transports, and the temporary disabling of the 'Forest City,’ another l-raiiSpOi't, and also a shot through the ‘ Benton‘s’ hull.

An older. girl lay upon a lounge in the room. The husband. Jonathan Beardword, a man named Ronnie, and a fourth child, slept in an adjoining room. In the night the. latter were awaken- ed by the loud screams of the girl who lay upon the lounge, and rush- ing into Mrs. Beardwood’s hed- toom, they found her with the razor in her hand rocking with blood.â€"-â€" . She attempted to put an end to her own existence. but was prevented. There can be no doubt of her in- sanity. FAT‘AL AccrnnN'r.â€"â€"~A melancho~ ly accident occurred to Mr. J.
