The meeting nominatedfor the House of‘ h Commons7 the present membe" for East York, who has ‘served so faithfully for the past fifteen years; it was what we expected, for we know that the electors of' East'fYork have con- fidence in Mr. “'rightis integrity and devetedness to the interests of his conâ€" stituents; he is newone of the oldest representatives of the people in the V Ca- nadian Legislature, and has the best claim upon the suflruges of East York fora seat inthc Legislature of' the" new Dominion; his majority of 21 over Mr. Brown (who received but 5 votes) is an index of the feeling of' the electors, and goes to show that Mr. Wright is a strong man.

Henry Duncan, of Ruth- Wcll, in Dumfrieshire. we are indebted lfor the first regular and simple organiza- ‘ tion of a Parish Bank or Saving Banks ,for small sums on safe, just, permanent ,and selfâ€"supporting principles. The in- lterest there paid to depositors for many years never exceeded £1 10s 10d per cent, the ' difi'erence between that rate and the ordinary interest allowed by the chartered or established banks of 3 or per cent. being applied to the expense of the institutions and management ; and it was under this system that in eight years the joke arose of servant girls buy- ing up all the National Debt of Great Britain ; and by a return to Parliament in 1828, it appeared there‘ were 484 Saw» ings' Banks in- the United Kingdom, rim-.iaged by 685' unpaid diree'to’rs and 1140‘ salaried officers with deposits of £28,048,139 sterling, belonging. on open accounts or under operation, to 1,054.663 depositors, whercon“ arr average interest of £2 18s 111d was paid; And it is now a Well-known fact that a larger amount or proportion of the immense public debt of Great Britain is held by the~s Banks,- than by any other class of fundholdcl‘s; 'l‘he Penny Banks. of which with these ours may be considered a compound, aim had their first firm roots or success- ful origin in the west of Scotland.

Yonder well cultivated and fertile fields would speedily he overspread with thistles and useless weeds. Yonder beautiful houses would soon lose their bright and cheer ful aspect, and show symptoms of dela- pidaiion. Yonder happy home Where peace, plenty, and happiness, and union and harmony reside. would become the scene of strife, and peonfnsion, and wretchedness.

What would the thousands in India, what would the thousands in the Southern States, what would the thousands in France, what would the thousands in London. and what would the thousands of desti- tute persons in other parts of the world, who cannot. however willing, help themselves, do without public help. It is no part of my design to throw a. feel- in;r of coldness and indifference, around the warm and kind heart that now melts on seeingr the misery of the destitute. It is no part of my design to maintain that Township Councillors should not, from the funds of the Township, give speedy relief to the innocent noor. I do not know that more suitable persons could be found to give public help than those elected by the rate payers to be enun- cillors.

A preliminary meeting of the Reform party of East York, called to make arrange- ments forbrine‘ing before the electors Re. form candidates for the riding, was held at Miliken’s Corners, in ihe Township ofMark- ham, on Saturday, 23rd inst. The weather was very unpropitious, the roads shockineg bad, and the gathering consequently very li- mited. There were abnuta hundred persons present, forty-nine of whom took part in the proceedingsâ€"0f Wham thirty-(me were re- isidents of Markham, fourteen from Scarbo- lI'O, three from East York. and one from I Yorkville. The Hon. David Reesm- was called to the chair, and Mr. Geo. Eakin. 0t Unionville, appointed secretary. The Chairman suggested that the first stem was to decide whether to summon a, regularly formed Convention of delegates from each municipality to nominate cundi-' dates, or proceed at- once to do so. Mr. Amos Wright, sitting mnmher for the riding, objected against proceeding then with the nomination of candidates, as only one elector ot'Yorkville was present, and very few electors from distant parts of the riding. If they thought. proper to prom-led at once, however, he had no objection ; but, if not. than 3 Convention should he called, for a. future (lay, ol delegates from each muniâ€" cipality, fairly apportioned. The Chairman suggested that the meeting might proceed at once with the nomination of candidates, allowingr the electors present from each municipality to have as many votes as they were respectively entitled to umler a. fair apportionment. Several gentIemnn from the UnrOpquAnfefl municipalities declinnd assuming such a m spor’xsmxlity as this would throw upon them.

Mr. govern (the only Nectar px‘osnnt from Ym‘kvilln) said he would not like to vote for a, man whom 1he Reformer; of his munici- pa'nity might be unwilling to suppm't. Dr. EeKnARm‘, of Marl’ham villagro. llhonght that these gentlemen would not wish ‘to decide so delicate a matter. He moved ithat a meeting: be duly called in each muni- ‘ cipality to select delegates to meet in Con- ,‘V vention in the same place two weeks from ‘ that dear, to select candidates for the Riding. l and that the representation be atthe rate of lone delegate for every 100 ratepayers. Mr. FLI'MMERFELT seconded the motion, and thought it would be only fair. It might ibe shown by 3. Convention of delegates that ‘the proportion of friends of the different candidates proposed was very different [from that indicated at that meeting, The Chairman sngqmtnd that.

Mr. Wright, sand that general open meetings had always been the custom in the riding, and they never had lost an electlon yet. The Chairman and others still wised the meeting to decide upon their candidate :hat day. They thought the meeting represented the riding sufficiently to carry weight in any action it might take, and that the Scarboro’ men who were divided in their votes, could decide the point as to which monineb should be selected.
