It was shewn by Mr. Galt that the taxation under the Cartier-Macdon- ald rule decreased from $3.95 in the year 1858 to $3.62 in 1862. Under their judicious policy of abolishing tolls upon our canals the tonnage of Western produce carried through the Welland Canal increased from 240,000 tons in 1859 to 721,000 in 1862; and besides the revenue during those years only decreas- ed 84,000 The Miiitia Bill introduced by the Ministry is not likely to pass in its present form.

Mr Cockburn introduced a motion asking for all correspondence relative to the appointment of M. Sicotte to a Judgeship. To impugn the motives ofthe Ministry in so doing was tan- tamonnt to a vote of want of confidence. Mr O’Halloran, through motives of personal friendship for M. Sicotte, voted with the Min- istry.

Bills have been introduced for the better protection of sheep in Upper Canada, and for the destruction of Canada thistles. Mr. Jackson has moved for the return of all cor- respondence relative to the resignation of Sheriff Snider of this County before the last general electron, and the appointment of Mr. Maug'nan to the vacancy. There is avery general feeling of dissatisfaction in this County at the manner in which the appoint- ment was made.

The accounts before us are from a Federal source, and from the en- tire absence of their braggadocio it is reason- able to suppose they have been soundly “thrashed.” The admission of the New York World that their army was entrapped, will convey to those who are accustomed to reading Federal dispatches a partial sense of the extent of the disaster. The fact of thirty cannons - being captured, and that two divisions of the army re-enacted a Bull Run rout, is an overwhelming proof that the late Federal retreat to Chattanvoga on the Ten- nessee river is a twin brother of the memora- ble rout from Mannasses to Washington on let July, 1861. electors of Grey, Bruce and North Simcoe no doubt recallect the nssumcd earnestness with which the parties named denounced a previ- ous Ministry for granting similar sums; and bounded Honbls.

In conclusuon, I would give “A Teacher” some advice, which may be of service to him hereafter: “Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot, That it do singe yourself.” Thanking you, Mr. Editor. for the valuable space I have occupied in the columns of the Sta: du rd, Iwonld inform all concerned, that l have returned from my lengthy flight. just in time to read the letter that has calletl forth these few remarks; and that I am, I hope, “a ra- tional being of this earth ;” and should “A Teacher” favor me with a reply, I have an arrow in my quiver that will effectually set- tle him But, alas! he has bitltlen me adieu ! and intends to treat any further communica- tion from my pen with silent contempt. “A Teacher” says that I do not deny the existence of‘ juggling”~ (what apretty word) . -â€"-at the last examination. I do not pretend to say that there was none; but I do say, that there was nothingofthe amount of“juggling” that is reported by such gentlemen as “A Teacher.” “A Teacher” seems to take par- ticular pains to prove his formerlettercorrect, and seemingly takes offence that I should question the matter at all. However, any can- did reader with the smallest moiety of intel- ligence,will observe that his proof amounts to nothing. The sentence he takes offence at. is where I asked him to explain “what Foard” he alluded to; and I still ask him to explain his standing on that question. Surely, he does not imagine that others are going 0 sup- ply the part of a sentence he has neg acted ! According to the way in which he has “writ- ten it; we may apply it to the “Board of Trade,” or anything we deem proper, and assert that we are correct ; until “A Teacher” defines his true. position-- but. “A Teacher” is "lind enough to assert that “the Board” is enough to convey the meaning of “Board of Public Instruction,” then is his folly clearly proven. I will now take the trouble to inform “A Teacher,” for fear he should never find it out any other way: that when he intends to convey an Idea in writing, say so; but do not, Ibeg. say that “the Board” is sufficient to convey the idea that it is “the Board of Pub- lic Instruction” alluded to.” As for the nngentlemanly comparison of the “peacock and jackddw.” I must thank him for the compliment; at the same time informing him that I deem it unworthy of more than a passing notice. Ifications that are wisely and justly deemed Lnecessary by the “Board of Public Instruc~ tion.” [would suggest to the members of the said Ben rd, that they present “A Teacher” with an ex-gratia certificate, 50 that he would not he required to attend every time. “in or- der to keep pace” with the general advance- ment. “A Teacher” would now make us be- lieve, that he did not intend us to believe that his remarks were made personally, but refer- red to the candidates that attended the last ex- aminatitn ; this would do as a sort ofinterpre- tation, had we not read his former letter, in which, he, without any hesitation, alluded directly to “certain ladies and gentlemen” of the Town of Durham; and that they had “friends who could” or did, “work the pro-t gramme for them.” He also furnishes us1 with a complete characteristic view of him-l self, asserting that it would occasion hirn ! great sorrow “to annoy the feelings of anyl gentlemanâ€"much more a ladyâ€"yet when justice demands me to express myself I do so a ‘fearing no man.’” I am convinced such‘ expressions are fully characteristic of the man ; but ifptstice demanded that “A Teach-l er” should impeach the ladies of the Town of Durham, and that impeachment was well- founded, he not only onght to inform the pnb- . lic through the well read columns ol the Standard, of such an m-currence taking place. but he should also notify the“Board of Public ; Instruction"’ of the fact, and let those who had “friends to work the programme for them” stand another examination. and prove ‘ clearly whether they were qualified or not for the standing they hold as Teachers. If such a plan was adopted, I feel perfectly satisfied that the “ladies and gentlemen” from the Town of Durham, would come of? more than victorious ; and thus cast a “stigma” on the reputation of “A Teacher.” 'l have read somewhere, or have been told. “that a gurlty party always imagines every person guilty but themselves ;” now, ifthis hypothesis be true, it certainly places “A Teacher” in rather an unenviable position. and throws the slur on himself which he tried to cast on others. Again, supposing it had not been revenge that was the prompter ofhis first letter, (which is possible only in suppo- sition.) isit not insulting to the respectable and intelligent gentlemen who compose the “Board of Public Instruction” for the County of Grey ; to be thus made the butt of such a lowmprrited. contemptible production, and to- tally vmd of any intelligible meaning; ex- cept that there were “two members of the Boa d” who attended their duties. Were there not six present ?- and where were the other four? and what were they doing? I really hope the “members of the Board”(?) are able to give a satisfactory account of the manner in which they spent their time, when any anonymous scribblcr calls for it.

But he would continue his shirking, and all the advice of his backers would not induce him to go in and meet Mace’s fist. Yes, to hear his flieuds shout, one would have thought that there never had been such fighting. In the succeeding rounds Mace sent him to the ground frequemiy, and he hit Mace once or twice ; but there was, at least on Goss’s part, no fighting of which an average schoolboy would not be thoroughiv ashamed.

Indeed, considering that Canada is as yet only moulding her parlia- mentary system into shape, it is hardly possi- ble to conceive a more important principle than that which M.

The removal of M. Sicotte it characterizes as “shameless.” “It is difficult,” it says. “to picture a more flagrant act of petty corruption than this same appointment.” ‘V'And the representative of this county, as Attorney-Generai for Lower Canada, being responsibie for this nomination. has therebv highly incurred the blame and disapprobation of this Councit.” . Coming from the county which M. Dorion represents in the House this severe cesure must be felt by the Lower Canada leader. â€" And Hochelaga 15 not alone in this respect. â€"-â€" It IS said that meetings are being held in the County of R: clielieu denouncing the Ministry for the manner in which they bought off M.
