Such is the title of a remarkable article which appeared in the Democratic Review for August. The writer, by a reference to authorities which appear to be indisputa- ble, shows that the ownership of Nova Scotia and Canada was vested in William Alexander, a commoner of Great Britain, who was born in 1580, and was First Mas- ter of Requests to James VI of Scotland and Lof England. He was knighted in 1625, and ennobled in 1630, reciving the title of Lord Alexander of Tullibodie and Viscount Stirling. At different times; by several charters granted by James I and each other, he was invested with the proprietorship and lordship of what is now British North A- merica. 'The French, as we know, contest- ed the claim of Britain, and for a century held possession of the country themselves; but they were finally dispossessed, and the title of Great Britain was fully confirmed, to Nova Scotia in 1757, to Canada in 1760, ; Meantime the heirs of the Earl of Stir- ling had not been able to assert their rights, but the establishment of the title of Britain necessarily involved the revival of the charters granted to the family, as they could not beannulled by the French usur- pation, At the peace of Paris in 1763, the right, of inheritance was in John, the great-great grandson of the 'first Harl of Stirling ; but he died three years tbhereaf- ter, ond 'his successor, the eighth earl, and last male heir, died three years after him, so that neither had time to establish his right ; and, says the writer in the Review, "a most extrordinary fact took place, to wit--that for almost fifty years the right of exercising all the great powers of' the charters was dormant, because it fell upon the female heirs of the said Jast heir male, of whom Mary died in 1794, and Hannah, the mother of the present Karl, in 1814." Alexander, Viscount Canada and now ninth Earl of Stirling, her son, was at that time in captivity in France, but escaping in 1815, with such means as were left him from the spoliation to which he had been subjected assumed in 1825 his peerage tights as Earl of Stirling, As a peer he repeatedly voted, unquestioned, and_ his title was recognised by the Lord Ohan- cellor of England, The highest Jaw auth- ority of Scotland, all. the thirteen judges haying been consulted, recognised. his rights unanimously, and four juries, at dif ferent times, did the same thing in cases where they were brought into controversy. But the charters under which he held his titles associated with it the proprietor- ship of the noblest colonies of England, and it was not to be expected that the Government would surrender this: without a struggle. Ie was subjected to the ne- cessity of constant litigation, and, in 1839 to trial for forgery. Thejury triumphant- ly acquitted him; but his counsel proved false, and the Court gave such instructions thatit was subsequently compelled, not to reverse this verdict of acquittal, but to ac- cempany it with such an expression of opinion concerning the charters, as obliged him again to enter into a contest with. the whole power of Government, This he could not do--his means were exhausted -- he left the shores of England. At last he came to this country, and with a large family, this legal representative of the Stir- ling rights and. estates, now seventy years of age, is residing at present in Washing- ton. Such is the substance of the article in the Review. It will attract attention, and win sympathy for the family, which, as it would seem for political reasons, is denied its rights, It is understood that it is determined to prosecute the matter, until justice be done.

In that colony a crowd of reforms are, as it were, knocking at the legislative doors, and de- siring to become Jaw. Among them are the better appropriation--perhaps the secularization of the Reseryed Lands, set formerly apart for the Clergy; a Law re- form ; an improved system of University Education; a law to make the Upper House of Parliament elective ; the Exten- sion of the Franchise; a simple plan of Registration ; .a reform in the Seigneury Tenures, These indicate very radical and sweeping changes--and the press and peo- ple are fully prepared for them. What is yery remarkable is, that the Canadian ministry are the proposers of the reforms. When a Government leads the way in such moyements, the progress, generally speak- ing, must be rapid and satisfactory, The Canadians are running anoble race, When they have the Elective Council, they will feel much easier in harness.--We must al- low that Canada is making good headway. She is increasing her schools, literary and scientific institutions, agricultural exhibi- tions, railways; and agitating all the ques- tions of progress, ina spirit of the highest intelligence. One great feature of the (University) schemes is to be a number gratuitous scholarship--four for each County in Canada. In this way about ninety scholarships. with stipends attached, will go to students too poor to educate themselves--The 'poor scholars" need not go to the Toronto University ; but may enjoy their privileges at the nearest affil- ated college. _ Post Office Debate, Mr, MORIN, moved the second reading of a bill from the Legislative Council to amend the existing Post Office Law. It referred solely to matters of detail in the management of the department, and he did not anticipate any opposition. He men- tioned that, among other points in the bill, there was a provision for the transmission of the American Mail over Canadian routes, if it should seem desirable to the American Government to make use of them. There was also a provision to prevent the transmission of light, valuable articles of contraband through the Post Office. Cases of this nature has frequently occurred that it became absolutely neccessary to a- dopt some means of giving it a check, The motion having been carried, the bill was then read a second time and passed through a Committee of the whole House. On motion of Mr. YOUNG the House went again into commmittee on improving the harbour of Montreal, and. the naviga- tionof the St. Lawrence, and deepening lake St, Peter. The resolutions of Mr, Young were adopted. On motion of Mr. WHITE the bill to enable S, and I. Atkinson, to convey cer- tain- lands to the Municipality of Nelson, was read a second time, and referred to a Select Cominittee. The House went into Committee of the Whole on the Bureau of Agriculture Dill, and after adopting a number of West rose and reported progress, to sit again on Friday next, The bill to regulate Agricultural Socie- ties in Lower Canada was read a second time on motion of Mr. CAMERON, On motion of Mr. YOUNG the House went into Committee of the Whole on the bill to"increase the capital stock of the Bank of Montreal, he object of this bill is to allow the Bank an increase of stock to the extent of £25,000. 'The bill was passed through Committee without.amend- ments. Opposition was made on the part of Messrs. Lyon and Mackenzie, to take up the bill at} past 10. 'These gentlemen contended that this hour was too late to do so. The bill to authorize P, Daige and F, Dufresne, to erect Toll-gates on their Bridge over the river Yamaska, on motion of Mr. SICOT'TE, was read a second time, and referred to Standing Committee on Priyate Bills. Phrenology is the science of mind. * tt * 1. The brain is the organ through which it acts. Phirenology dues not at- tempt to deseribe the mature of mind, but simply asserts that the brain is the materi- al organ by or through which it acts, leav- ing the metapbysician to detine its nature, according to its own ability. The first proposition is proved by the fact, that where there is no brain there are no men- tal manifestations,--also by the fact that idiots possess very little brain compared with other men, » This will be readily seen by comparing the heads of Washing- ton, Franklin, and other distingnished men- with idiots,--also by comparing those na- tions who have: large heads with others haying small ones, the former will be found to rule the latter. The English and Hin- doos are in point, where afew hundreds rule as many thousands. It is proved also by the following facts. Injuries upon the head affect the mind, while the same injury upon other parts, will leave it unimpaired. 'The mental faculties appear and disap- pear at'the time of the development, ma- turity, and decay of the brain. Disease upon the brain destroys all men- tal power. li. As the mind cannot be a unit or single faculty but a combina ion of facul- lies its instrument, the brain, must consist of as many organs as there are faculties. 'This is in accordance with the law which assigns to every member a separate duty, As the eye and ear have separate duties. and ean never discharge the duties of each other, so the different convolutions of the brain have their separate functions, and can only perform them. Thus, one conve: lution is the organ of Benevolence, another is the organ of Firmness; other parts con- stitute the intellectual organs, and different parts are the organs of the propensities. But it must not be supposed that the con- volutions correspond with the boundaries of the organs, as marked upon the draw- ings and busts--but simply, that those convolutions which occupy different parts of the skull, are adapted to receive impres- sions from the qualities of mind and mat- ter, in precisely the same manner as the optic nerve receives impressions. from the rays of light, and the auditory. from the vibrations of air. ek ae From the Herald of Freedom of July 14, 1838. The Discussion, Tue discussion goes on. Tt pervades, it possesses, it agitates" the land. It must be stopped, or slayery dies, and the color- ed man has his liberty and his rights, and Colonization is superseded, Can it not be stopped? Cannot the doctors, the editors, the "property and standing," the levisla- tures, congress, the mob, Mr. Gurley, somebody or other, some power or other, the governors, his honor the Chief Justice Lynch; cannot any body, or every body united, put 'down this discussion? Alas forthe "peculiar institution!" it cannot be done. 'The club of Hercules could' not strike it down; it is as impalpabie to the brute blow as the stately ghost of "buried Denmark" was to the "partisan" of Mar- cellus, It cannot be stopped or checked. It is unrestrainable as the viewless: winds, or the steeds of Apollo, Yowhearit every where. The atmosphere is rife with it. Abolition," "immediate," "compensa- lion," "amalgamation," 'inferior," "equal," "Inalienable," "Riess," the Bible," " of one blood," " West Indies," "mobs, "arson," "petition," "+ gag-law," © John Quincy Adams," "Garrison." These are the words, and as familiar as house- hold phrase, The air resounds to the wn- iversal agitation, --Vruth» and conviction every where result,--the Genius of Eman- cipation moves triumphantly among. the half-awakened people. And Slavery, a- ghast at the general outery and the fatal discoveries constantly making of its diabol- ical enormities, gathers up its all for re- treat or desperate death, as the case shall demand. The discussion can't be smothered-- can't be checked--ean't be abated--ean't be endured by pro-slavery. The 'fidt' has gone forth. It is registered 'in' heaven. Lhe colored man's humanity is ascertained and proved, and henceforth he is destined to liberty and honor, God is gathering his instrumentalities to purify this nation. Wat, Slavery aid' Drankenness are to be purged away from it. The drunkard, that wont reform, will. be removed from the earth's surface, and isis corporeal shame hidden in her friendly recesses,--his spirit- ual "shame," alas, to be " everlasting" -- with that: unutterable "contempt" which must attend final 'impenitence, as» saith God. * fe % 6 Liberty slaveholders, christianity, slave- holders, church-member slaveholder s, minis- ter slaveholders, doctor of divinity slave- holders, church slaveholders, 'missionary slaveholders, * Board of Commissioner? slaveholders, monthly concert slaveholders, Bible Society slaveholders, and Briain wituHoLpers!
