The reformation of‘the vagrant) and his conversion to industry and honesty, are problems which have long engaged the benevolent minds of Europe and America; yet comparatively little has been done, and that too almost wholly by individuâ€" als or societies, and though in a new country like ours, the evil is not of' such discouraging magnitude as in the old world, it already assumes dimentions sufiiciently alarming to call for energetic curative measures from both government and people, Whose well-being is threaten- ed by its exxstence, and will certainly be destroyed by its growth, ’ Year after your additional crowds of juvenile offenders, are registered on the criminal calender, and find their way into our corrupting geols, and thence progress, too often, regularly to the penitentiary or the gallows, a pest to society in their freedom, and a burden in their imprisonâ€" ment. And 1n populous distriots especi- ally, so large a percentage of criminals is draWn from those who commenced their'downward career as migrants, and whose first offence, perhaps, consisted, in some trifling pecadillo, induoed by temp- tation, neglect, or idleness, that we are justified in asserting, that until some remedial measures are adopted, wemust admit that we make criminals, or, which is about the grime, thing, allow them to be made by circumstances, far faster than'we punish or reform them. Hence, in the words of Mr. O’Neil's able report, “ The necessity for some measure which would; if possible, nip in the budthe grofirth of th‘s wide spreadng evil. As in the treatment of physical diseases, the preventitivo is better than the cure, so should our best judgment, our humauest instincts, be exercised in adopting suoh means of provision ‘and protection, as would arrestthovcourse of' the vagrant ere his courso lmi culminated in the commission of actual crime.” It is'idl'e to hope for any satisfactory reduction of the limits of this social plague spot by the mch increusg of edu- cational and religious facillties. Few countries are better endowed in this re- spect :than Canada; but unfortunately tlw'increase of these seemingly remedi. 1 The magnitude of. this growing evil sah with dilfieulty be fully appreciated in rural districts, where the sparseness of the population, and the general plenty7 leave no field for its _ display ; but in large cities and towns, where of necessi- ty indigence and poverty are more abun- dant, it is one of the most prolific sour- ces of corruption and crime. While the establishment of uvenile Reformatories, has accomplished a great deal of good, in changing the character and habits of many youths who would otherwise have found their way to the Penetentia‘ry, it is evident that the evil is beyond their remedy. They can but attempt to mend that which might have been pre- vented, and In many7 very many instan- ces, it is quite beyond their "cure. The seeds of an early and vicious life are scl- dom totally irradiea‘ole, and many bear fruit for a. life-tune. Varm Winter Glovesâ€"G, A. Barnard lousy to Lendâ€"W. H. Myers ‘ho Mammoth Cheeseâ€"W.

MOV INh 30“ 1'“ . mm. 49 59 84 Mn Brown has already made many concessions, in order to further the great scheme whose completion was his osten- sible reason for taking office. By these oonqessions he has weakened his influ- ence, and damaged in the eyes of many his reputation as a sterling reformer. Since the disruption must, among such discorelant elements, come some time, it would, we believe, have been better had he resigned long since, or never al- lied himself at all with colleagues who, in minor points of general policy, where so radically opposed to him, I As far as the interests» of' the Reform party are concerned we confess we can see lvery little to regret that matters have taken their present course. The scheme of confederation need suffer no injury by Mr. Browns Withdrawal, and if carried at all will have a better guarâ€" antee of being moulded into workable shape, by his power to modify those fea- tures which, in the'opinion of the Reform party, are not deemed just and equitable to the Province. “’0 can easily conceive that in view of Mr. Brown's recent declarations of his object in joining the coalition, that he should be unwilling to peril his political reputation by any departure from the policy then declared ; [and we presume that the policy proposed would involve a sacrifice, without» furthering the project, hence his present course. That a member of any government should remain in that. government, and become responsible for measures which do not meet his personal approval, is a principle that has unfortunately found too much countenance, and we are glad to see an emphatic dissent from such high quarters, though ib does (Seine late. influences has produced but little diminu- tion in the yearly harvest of yOuthful vice. Free schools and free churches are among God's richest blessings to the community that uses them; but the very class that needs them most, is that, which if left to itself, will use them least, and to whom they are practically a dead let- ter. Very justly Mr. O’Neil remarks: â€"“ The children of the careless and desolute remain to a great extent, out- side their influences ; progressing to crime and vagrancy is expanding yearly into still more frightful dimensions, pre- senting now too alarming an aspect not to call for prompt and grave considera- tion in the proper quartre.” Since then, from our present educa- tional and benevolent religious associeâ€"_ tions, we have no reason to expect anyâ€" thing more than the lessening of an evil which they are unable efl‘ectively to cope with, does it follow that we are to stand idly by in”. listless‘discouragement, until the opportunity is gone and the evil has obtained aeomplete mastery? Is it not rather the duty of society, for its own protection, to call upon the state, to take the place of the negligent or incom- petent guardian, and rusted of merely trying to reform therhardened criminal, to endeavor to prevent the growth of a population of juvenile offenders, ready and willing year after year to fill up_the places of those who have been reformed or removed from the country. The long expected denoument has at length taken palee. The Reform leader has thrown up his place in _the Govern- ment, which hitherto he has so zealously supported, and in which his presence was an anomaly that his party were scarcely ever fully reconciled to. Mr. Brown's reasons fOr this sudden aban- donment of his colleagues, who but a short time since received his hearty ap- proval, is stated to have been a difference pespeeting the Reciprocity Treaty. To apply the coercive principle While there is no means of reformation otherthan the dicipline of our common goals, would be useless. Since the promiseous associâ€" ation of the hardened with the compara- tively innocent would soon make all alike; besides, the position of the state towards these unfortunate vagrants, should be that of a protector against the evil influ- ences wluchrsurround them, rather than an avenger of crimes, which are frequent ly more their misfortune than their fault. It may be that the present age is scarcely yet prepared for the doctrine of state interference, nevertheless the pro- posal is by no means new, and in view of the urgent necessity of something being done to check the growing evil of juvenile depravity, such interference ifjudieious- ly exerted, would be a public blessing. Nothing less than a State Institution, :1 sort of Provincial Reformutory, into which all the vagrants from our larger cities and towns might be gathered, will suffice. The Boys’ Home, and other sinnlar in~ sitution, undoubtedly perform a noble work, but how much greater would be their saving and elevating influence, if they had power to draw Within their walls, the thousands who, though starv- ing in crime and degradation, wilfully remain beyond their reach. RESIGNATION OF MR. BROWN. Ministerial Crisis. The above series of paintings, which has been on exhibition iat the Temper- ance Hall during the present week, is in many respects well worthy of public par tronage, Many of the seenie views dis- play high artistic finish, and to the lover of the beautiful in art and nature, canâ€" not fail to prove highly interesting. The series of pictures illustrative of Bunyan’s Pilgrim's progress, and T. S. Arthur’s “Ten Nights in a. Bar Room,” is well calculated to deeply impress the teach- ings of the authors, especially the latter, which is more effective than any Tem~ perance Lecture we ever heard. ‘ On the whole we can cordially recom- mend Mr. Very's paintings, as highly moral and instructive, and, we hope he will have abundant success in Aurora, where he exhibits this evening. The c mle plaque in England is destroying 700 head per week.

The decision of this officer on Mr. Raden- hurst’s case, is likely to bring his ofiicial ca- reer to an end. ‘We have been content to submit to Mr. Boomer-’3 drunken perfor- mances so long, that he appears to have concluded that the people of Toronto would tolerate anything from him. I think, how- ever, that we have reached a climax, and the attention of the Attorney General West, has been called to the daily buii'oonery of our Police Court. In granting us relief, I do trust that a man, of at least average ability, will be appointed to conduct the Police business of this large city. We have been outraged too long by the present occu- pant, and it will require a good man: to pu- rify that Court. The name of Mr. Alexan derMoNabb is mentioned as an aspirant for the office. He is the Globe candidate, I am told. I trust that he will be found to pos- sess more ability than the other McNab, who tries to do the duties of County Attor- ney. INSURANCE COMPANIES.

The robber! created quite a sensation at the time, as none but persons familiar with the building could have known of the money being left in the safe on that particular day. Suspicion rested QnMr. W. I, Badenhurst, the Deputy Registrar, but the), excellent character which he hither- ! to Baazocrm shieldedhim.fmmawhatmight be considered‘ a: very micnzialfleu partition. Few could be lead to believe that hewms- the guilty party. although appearances “were against him. On Saturday week, the County Attorney caused Mr. Radcnhurst to be ar- rested and brought before the Police Magis- trate for examination. Mr. Boomer lieng in. an incompetent state to Hear the case, adjourned. the Court until the following Mbnday, when. the evidence for the prosecu- tion was taken. On Tuesday, Hon. J. H. Cameron) and others, Were examined, and the investigationiwus brougha to melosc-hy the committal. of Mr. Radenhurst for hr'iuL Bail was tendered and. accepted, himself in. $2,000, and two sureties in $1,000: each. The decision of; the Police Magistrate-is uni- versally condemned, as not a Bartiele of evidence was given to criminate Mr. Roden- hnrst. Alderman C‘anayan, who presided. as an associate to the Police Magistrate,. dissented from Mr. B‘oomer’s deeisiom in, strong;r language. The Wesleyans of this village intend having a social Tea Meeting on Wednes- day evening, the 27th inst., in aid of the Parsonage Fund. As the‘payment of the debt on the Parsonage is a mat- ter of considerable importance, and as ten meetings in general are very pleasant and effective means of accomplishing such an object, we think that no better method than this could be adopted to re- duce the present debt. The choir of‘ the church will sing several select; anthems during the evening, and several ministers will address the meeting. We can safe- ly promise a very pleasant evening ._to those who may attend. Some of the mammoth cheese, which was exhibited at the London exhibition this year, and came to grief by being jolted off the cars, has foimd its way into our vil- lage, and as it is of the first quality! those who may be lovers of such a. delacacy, should call at Wm. Atkinson’s, and secure a piece before it disappears. He has a large quantity of fruits, suitable for Christmas use, also on hand. V Parties wishing cheap bargains should call at Wm. S. Pollock’silate G. A. Barnards and examine his stock, of seasonable winter goods, of which he is prepared to sell cheap for cash, or on short credit.

There was a large turn out of the Masonfc Fraternity on Tuesday, to pay the last mark of respect to their departed broth‘er, J nhn W.. Wey, of St. John’s Lodge. Mr. Wey was for many years a. Conductor on the Grand Trunk Railwav. Mr. John O’Dbnohue has been appointed to the vacancy in the Emigration office in Toronto. created by the death of Col. Mc- Kay. The appointment was made by the Hon. T. D. M‘Gee, the head of'the Emigra- tion department. Mr. O’Donohue has long been a. warm personal and political friend of Mr. M’Gee, and I am glad to hear of his appointment, as he will make an. efl‘ilcient officer. ' ‘ NORTHERN RAILWAY STATION. 1 The inconvenient distance from the centre l of the city at which the station, of this Comâ€" pany is situated has long been a source of ivexation to our citizens, and to persons ‘ traveling on that road. Havipg: expended lsome three-quarters ofa million dollars to build an esplanade. in front of the. whole city, we very naturally expect to enjoy the benefit our liberality; but in this we. have been most greviously disappointed, as the Grand Trunk Railway has, thus far, managâ€" ed to monopolize the greater part of the advantages. The Great Western Railway is now building a splendid station at the foot of Yonge street, which will be opened on the first of the year, and thls'has indu'C‘ ed‘ the Northern Railway to seek a conveni' ent station also. At a late meeting'of' the City Council an attempt was made to grant the Company that property in the rear of the City Hall, at present used as a Cattle Market, for the sum of four hundred dollars a. year. This little job would have been con- summated had it been at the beginning in- stead of the end of the year; but the fear of the indignation of the “free and indepen. dent” voters was before the eyes of our municipal jobbcrs. so they became wonder- fully pure and honest, tor once. The Nor- thern Railway Company deserves fair treat- ment at the hands of the City Council of Toronto, but it is too much to expect us to grant them a. piece of land, worth several thousands, for the nominal rent of four hundred dollars per annum.

Some of the members of the club are complaining of the conduct of some of their number, in retailing outside, every- thing that is done at their meetings. I am informed that their doings are as ‘well known at the Leader office, as if that paper sent a reporter to take. notes...

This person is the same individual as- was Secretary of one of Mr. Gamble’s Cemmit- tees during the election for Legislative Councillor, in your Division. Now Mr. Gamble was a conservative, and Mr. Reesor a Reformer, as Mr. Edgar supported the former and’ 01mosed-rth'eglatter, we would suppose he was also a Conservative.

About one thousand’ persons were present: companies doing business in Canada, either unable to meet their losses promptly, or they are represented by men who are unworthy of the positions they hold, as agents. In too many of the cases tried there has not been the slightest evidence oflhred to justify the companies in withholding payment on the plea that the insured has fired his prem- ises to obtain the amount of Insurance money. We are justified therefore in con- cluding that some of the companies, resort- ing’ to the disreputable means I have men- tioned to avoid payment of their just debts, are not only unsound, but that they are merely flash companies, with a paid up capital existing only on paper. Persons desirous of insuring, and who do not wish to be annoyed by having base insinuations thro'rn out against their characters, should note every company appearing as defendant in court, and avoid them as they would a pestilence. Farmers especially should note these matters as manv of the cases tried have been where Agricultureer Mutual Assur- ance Companies have been the guilty: par- ties. ' HON. THOMAS 1).
