JAs to the first of these points; Professor Wilson contended that the stanrlard of matriculation had been properly changed: inasmuch aslit was notpossible to find in Ca- nada a sufciently large number of students, wlto,at the time when they_ desired to enter College. had_ acquired the,knowledge involved- in the Oxford and Cambridge. It was, indeed, the demand for this high_standard which had tended materially. to bring disre.pute.ttpon King's Collegei in its original -shape. Few young men could-ertter, and these few the- snns of wealthy men, necessisarily in small `number, whoyhad been able to prolong the schooldays of their sotts,an'd to fittdand pay unusually good masters. Hence it was tltat the College itt its old shape came to be cott- 'SltlEl'd asran aristocratic institution, and hence in great part the necesity for the change irt `its constitution.` For similar reasons was to be justied_t__he difference between the character . o.` the general instruction and that; which pre- vailed. in the English Universities. "In a re- viewwritten by himself, which had been cited by Dr. Ryerson as if it werean authority against the present. course of studies antiox- aminations at the University College, he had a spoken of of Greek and Latin as containing all the sources of human knowledge. And so they did. But when he wrote that he was defending the English Universities against the exaggerated attack of art American writer. Greek and Latin did contain the sources of all ` human knowledge, and hence it was that at a time when that knowledge was to be. fonntl no where else, institutions of learning made the acquisition of these languages a prime object of their instruction. When Oxford and Catn- bridge Uttiversities, were founded nothing was more natural; and conservatism had main- tained to this day the system which was once begun. Even now great good arose from these studies, and for the pursuit of some kinds of krtowledge that wereeven still almost essential pre-requisites. For in modern times other latttzunges, even for the purpose of the. study of books, was more necessary than Greek or Latin. In many departments acquaintance with French andGerman was `more essential ; '.-and hence these who were to-day founding new schools of learning were only acting` in the spirit of the founders of the ancient ones, when they adapted their course of studies to." the times in which they lived. The English Universities were the_ resort of the wealthy, . who could sacrice many years of their lives to the acquisition .of- an accomplishment, and who then had time enough afterwards for ' studies of more practical utility. But in schools intended for another class of. students, a false quantity was no longer the -unpardon- able sin. ltt Scotland, in the new Colleges of- England, in the Queen s Colleges Ireland, and in some extent even in the English, Universi- lies, the modern languages and -rnodern sciences had taken the place of the excessive, atnl punctilious attention forrr'terly.pai.d to Latin and Greek; and it was this modern practical idea of `education which had been adopted by the authorities of the Toronto University and of University College. Men there, it intended for-_ the Church,"occupied themselves almost throttghouttheir course, wivtlttltese languages. , But if they were intended for medicin'e_or law, 7 or other pursnitshthey choose after acquiring a competent knowledge of classics, branches likely to be peculiarly servicertble to them, and to these they particularlyaddicted them- selves. Even the ancient University of Paris had reformed itself in this direction`; the Royal yd Contmissinners on the English Universities had l also recommended a_ like change ,fvand it would - be a matter of astontshmenl__to gentlemen con- ' nected with these schools, it they ca_m,e- to a new country like Canada, and saw us taking . . .` a nn All Hanan I-tau-lnartarna_.ga Hana! morn nntu -!a.tameh.t ;-btuke'd*.. 10.10 31.!

Professor Wilson asked in what chapter of ancient history the lesson was to be found, ,adding`that for his `part he had `always thought the ages of Greek and Roman architecture and statuary were precisely those in which Greece and Rome. were also at the height of their g-loiry_`inV.'all other arts. After a' masterly reply on rt great many other points, snrdities of the Rev. Dor':tor s' statemens arose from his utter want of College education. This circumstance implied no blame, but it did ap- pear "to him (the Professor) to be blame-worthy, that a gentleman so utterly ignorant of the whole subject should not content himself with bringing charges resp'ectirtg the nances and so forth, which he froth his position on the Senate must have known:to he untrue; but should have set himself `up as a judge of tho i plansof College'intr'uction, advised and car- ried out `by men who had had experience in every college system in Europe, and who had . achieved celebrity-in European Colleges before they hatlicome to Canada.

Bill on this subject has been intro- duced by the Hon. Malcolm Cameron.` 'As we Beujamin s, referred to last week, but evidently only to enforce. and regulate that necessary draining which already exist, without contem- plating its systematic adoption. The preamble` declares that great dilliculty is experienced in the efficient drainageiof level lands from the` want of united action, or uniformity of eifor't,'on th_e part of the numerous independent owners of `property in the same neighborhood; and the impnssibility of successfully cultivating` lands so situated unless a proper escape be provided. for the water; The" first clause` provides that wherever the natural inclination of `the land tends to draw down the wal_er over the same, the owner is to open a suf- calied upon by the occupier of . the same; and on completion of the lower "ditch, the owner or oc- cupiers of the land above to extend said" ditch so as to cisuse the collection and discharge of the water from his own land. -Disputes, arising out of a non-fullment of these regulations, are to be, decided by _'the` Fence Viewers of the municipality, ` whose award is to be acted upon; pat-tics refusing to carry out the continuation of the water-course, or drain, the-owners of the lands higher up can` build the same, and, compel payment therefor in the same manner as other debts. The third clause makes it obligatory to keep the drains clear; and the fourth, and last clause, provides-, that when a mnjor_ity_of. the inhabitants of any locality desire a main water-`course to be opened at their own. expense through; their .1ands,,end petition the Township Council 80 to do, the Coun- cil may issue.,a debenture for the value of the work required, payable byassessment on-the lands interested.

V _ The paper affords more practical information. than can be gathered from all`. the Gardener- s Manuals published, and it will be well for all who take any pleasure in- the cultivation of the Gar- den to `preserve this paper for reference. It will shew what a luxury every householder, having is smalltplot of ground, may procure for his family" in the cultivation of the Strawberry; and the instruc. tionsure so complete and simple that very little labor is necessary. The Strawberry is an indigenous plant of this country, "and it will surprise the reader to learn of the productiveness of it`, and ' thesize of the fruit _`whcn"cm`e is taken in the "cultivation. ` ` A Nana-DYIsG"_PA1'mo'r.-3lr. Boulton, (D'Arcy) in his last paper, says he was the main man, and not Mr. Thos. D McConkey, as the ;' `votes and proceedings represented, connected with the petition -against the hated union ; i which, on the strength of assurances from his party, he, advocates with never.-dying zeal; and 4 that the petition was the` result of his etfervescence -in July last. We make the correction as to authorship with pleasure; and trust that the M .Queen s printers will do likewise. But what about the keepership of this document, which, after a quiesence of eight months, turns up on the , oor of the Assembly! A somewhat stale pro- ceeding, if honest, Mr. Boulton must confess: such a lapse of time might witness his boxing the political compass, as it is knowingly said a. somewliat -less interval did in his stride from INewmarket hither. An extract from the mild bu_rlesque of the Jdvzmce, published in July last, gives a polish to his article, for which his readers will be thankful--it acts as a. dessert after the gross material. This never-dying patriotism, though, is apt to stagger even strong nerves; we don't deny the possession of it-not for the . world. Nay, we believe it was legitimately come by. Perhaps it would have been entertain- ing to have witnessed the physiognomical contor- tions of Mr. B. following the never-dying decla- ration-made of course at a moment of Spirit intercourse, when the lamp ickered, and a phos- phoric ame, withdazzling scintillatlons, revealed to him his. never-dying part in a galaxy of gob- lin atlinities. \`.`hat room is there for scepticism? It is to be hoped a shelf will be secured for Mr. Boul- ton at the Montreal Exhibition, where the Prince and suite-can gaze at Canada's greatest political phenomenon and exhaustive product. America's wonders would not be faithfully rehearsed there- after at Buckingham and \\'inl33r7`without promi- 'nent mention of Simcoe s `neir`cr-dying patriot.
