The year now approaching its close has
been one fraught with important events.
At its dawn, there was sitting in the Vatican
months. Its
Treaty of 1818, has had this of good, that it!
has shown both the Washington and the
Ottawa Government the necessity of coming
to some kind of amicable settlement upon
the fishery question. Let us conclude with
the hope, that whatever may be the arrange-
ment, it will be framed by a generous desire
to promote the welfare of both nations, and

ious to foment.

on the one hand that they might be able to
give a guarantee for proper moral and reli-

might secure the support of the Church. \
The Wesleyans of New Brunswick, in 1861, !
were less than one-tenth of the population,
and in Nova Scotia only a little over one
tenth, yet their educational record compared
fayorobly with that of any other denomina-
tion, and no better returns could be made
by siuy body than that made by them for
legislative aid kindly and generously ren-
dered, Principal Allison argued on behalf
ofthe superiority of denominational Colleges
and Universities, holding that in all the
Western States, with one exception, the
State Universities had proved failures. The
exception was the University of Michigan,
threatened now with being torn asunder by
erroneous teaching, and it had only been
successful through the labors of a Methodist =e
minister, who had recently been obliged to
surrender his post, and was now at the head
of a flourishing Methodist institution. Tn
the British Isles he contended the same
principle held good.”
And in the same report we are told that—
“A. L. Palmer, Esq., took a very practical

ger service over the whole system. During

London despatch of December 8th saye—
*'Much indignation is felt byall classes at
the ignominious retreat of the British
Government from the position taken in
(iranville’s first note, It is understood
that Granville’s surrender was secured
hy the personal influence of the Queen,
who is unwilling to give her endorsement
to a poliey so unfavorable to Russia in
the present crisis.”’ Thus it will be all
through the chapter. Britain backs
down before Russia on the Eastern ques-
tion: allows france to be huiniliated by
Prussia ; expresses her willingness that
Prussia should annex Luxembourg, will
doubtless allow both Belgiam and Hol-
Jand to be gobtled up in order that

Viear of Christ.
All that is not “clerical.”
Hitherto T have not felt myself protected
by you, as I ought to be, in my rights and
in my honor as a Christian and a citizen, 1
hare felt on my head and on my heart the
foul fect of the mob, and I have despaired
of the honor of my country’s last days.
The day before yesterday, when you told
that disgraceful crowd that you had made
Paris impregnable, I did not believe that
you spoke the truth, heeanse you had not
fulfilled the duty of making yourself im-
pregnable. +
Nevertheless, General, I will vote for yon,
hecanse your words to-day sre better, and
how, at least, a resolution too long looked
for in vain. in those words I see neithor
the Christian, nor the “clerical,” who would
on no account abandon the Church; but 1
ive in them at least the general and
the brave saan who will not give up his
egantry,
Retain power, then, or, rather, receive it,
and henceforth command boldly. Be the
man for France, save her honor. Hold out
to the last mouthful of bread, to

to this peaceful occupation, are the words
written last September from Sedan :—* Un-

sword at your Majesty's feet.”
After long and varied solicitations, Spain
has at length succeeded in obtaining a Prince
willing to ascend her vacant throne. The
young king will not find Spain a more
peaceful habitation than his native Italy.
The country is distracted and divided be-
tween Carlists and Republicans, and every-
where in a state of semi-insurrection.
The history of Italy during the last twelve
months presents an appalling spectacle of
irreligion, tyranny, and disorder. The bom-
bardment of Rome, and the imprisonment
of Pius the Ninth, are acts which have
roused the indignation of all Christendom,
The excommnnicated king shrinks from
taking possession of the stolen capital; but
he has been.told the alternative: if he goes
not there, the Republic will.
Until lately Russia’s chief occupation dur-
ing the past year has been the persecution
of Catholic Bishops and their flocks, and the
stamping out still more effectually of the
last embers of Poland's nationality, by pro-
hibiting the use of her language. She is
now engaged in threatening to tear up
solemn treaties, and renew her projects of
ambition over Turkey.
The British Colonies have not been with-
out disturbances. England's treatment of
New Zealand had well nigh cost her that
Colony’s allegiance. In Red River territory
Rie} assumed for a time a rebellious attitnde
towards the Conadian Government. The
situation looked threatening, but eventually
the diMeulty was removed by negotiation.
The Fenians too made another raid upon
Canada. It was repulsed with no loss to the
Canadians, and of the invaders only two
were killed and two wounded.
In January, 1869, a convention for the
settlement of the Alabama claims was signed
by Mr. Reverdy Johnson and Lord Claren-
don. The American Senate rejected it.
Diplomatic correspondence and negotiations
ensued, which have been continued at inter-
vals ever since. The question is again be-
the time he held the Leadership of the late |
i
Government, he had, both publicly and pri- |
vately, whenever called upon for an opinion
upon the subject, expressed himself in favor |
of agrantto St. Durstan’s College. We
ean bear testimony to the fact. In the
month of February last, Mr, Reilly invited
Mr. Ilaythorne to a meeting of the inhabit-
ants of Lot 56, in order that he might hear
the reasons urged by them against the valua-
tion put upon the Lot after it came into the
possession of the Government. When that
matter was settled, the two most important
public subjects of the day, namely—Con-
federation and the School question—natur-
ally came up for diseussion. Upon both of
these subjects, Mr. Haythorne, as Leader of
the Government, was called upon for an ex-
pression of his opinions, which he gave fally
and unreservedly. This is how it came to
pass that Little Pond was the locality where
Mr. Haythorne had the first chance to make
a public declaration upon the School ques-
tion, Upon that oceasion he said:
“ With regard to the Education Question, the
meeting having expressed an almost unanimous
opinion in favor of the existing system, onl
demanding a small grant to St. Dunstans Col-
lege, Mr. Haythorne said he was opposed to
sectarian grants, and although the Prince of
Wales College was not, strictly speaking, a
rectarian institution, yet, in effect, it was so,
and, considering all the circumstances relating
to the establishment of St. Dunstan's, hethought
it just to support a gran’ to that establishment.
It would be also politic, provided it promoted a
setilement of the School (Question, but it was
his opinion that all matters of this natuce should
be allowed to rest till after next Election.”
These views are clear and distinct. They
were delivered in the hearing of a large and
intelligent body of electors, at whose solici-
tation they. were elicited; they were con-
spicuously printed in the Herap, com-
mented upon by its eontemporaries, and
repeated at publie gatherings at Fort Au-
gustus, the Ten Mile House, and in Char-
lottetown. The charge of concealing his
views until after the general election is,
therefore, essentially false. He is not in a
position to say what occurred whon the
question came tp at the Council Board, over
which he presided, as its proceedings are
secret by virtue of the obligation of an oath;

The Printer, John Greason, New York, Pub-
of evidence was in favor of the narrow gauge,
and accordingly decided in its favor, failing
to see that because a gross mistake had been
made, in adopting the Sf. Gin. gange, for
the existing portion of the Canadian Railway
System, the error must be perpetuated re-
gardless of cost, specd and safety.
As the centre of gravity is lowered, and
the engines and cars are constructed with an
angle ot stability, which is‘nearly the same
on either gauge, the absolute safety is quite
as great on the 3ft. 6in. gauge as on either
the 4ft, 8in. or the ft Gin. lines.
The ordinary speed of Express trains in
Canada and the United States is from 25 to
30 miles an hour, including stoppages; and
freight trains, are not or should not be run
faster than from 15 to 20 miles an hour.
The speed on the Queensland lines is from
20 to 30 miles an hour. On the Swedish
lines the ordinary speed for mixed trains is
16 miles an hour, but it has, on several oc-
casions, been brought up to 30 and 34 miles
an hour, Mr. Fox says: “The train on
which I was, rah, with great ease and per-
fect steadiness, at the rate of 82 miles an
hour;” and speaking of another line he
says: ‘“Weran at sometimes 30 miles an
hour, with perfect ease.; nothing can ex-
ceed the steadiness of both engines and car-
riages.” Mr, Pilel says he has seen one of
his engines at upwards of 40 miles an hour,
with as much feeling of ease and security as
when running any engine on a bxoader
gauge.
Fortanately no gauge has been adopted
in your case, and you thus avoid a strong el-
ement of opposition to the adoption of the
5ft. 6in gauge. Instead of entering into ar-
guments based on mere theory, I have given
you the evidence of engineers of high pro-
fessional standing, who having constructed
and worked lines of 3ft, 6in. ict » ean

On the other hand, the Germans complain
that the French priests are stirring up the

The year now approaching its close has
been one fraught with important events.
At its dawn, there was sitting in the Vatican
months. Its
Treaty of 1818, has had this of good, that it!
has shown both the Washington and the
Ottawa Government the necessity of coming
to some kind of amicable settlement upon
the fishery question. Let us conclude with
the hope, that whatever may be the arrange-
ment, it will be framed by a generous desire
to promote the welfare of both nations, and
certain class of politicians are only too anx-
ious to foment.

The Wesleyans of New Brunswick, in 1861, !
were less than one-tenth of the population,
and in Nova Scotia only a little over one
tenth, yet their educational record compared
fayorobly with that of any other denomina-
tion, and no better returns could be made
by siuy body than that made by them for
legislative aid kindly and generously ren-

ofthe superiority of denominational Colleges
and Universities, holding that in all the
Western States, with one exception, the
State Universities had proved failures. The
exception was the University of Michigan,
threatened now with being torn asunder by
erroneous teaching, and it had only been
successful through the labors of a Methodist =e
minister, who had recently been obliged to
surrender his post, and was now at the head
of a flourishing Methodist institution. Tn
the British Isles he contended the same
principle held good.”
And in the same report we are told that—
“A. L. Palmer, Esq., took a very practical

Porcian Inpiexarton is Barras. —A
London despatch of December 8th saye—
*'Much indignation is felt byall classes at
the ignominious retreat of the British
Government from the position taken in
(iranville’s first note, It is understood
that Granville’s surrender was secured
hy the personal influence of the Queen,
who is unwilling to give her endorsement
to a poliey so unfavorable to Russia in
the present crisis.”’ Thus it will be all
through the chapter. Britain backs
down before Russia on the Eastern ques-
tion: allows france to be huiniliated by
Prussia ; expresses her willingness that
Prussia should annex Luxembourg, will
doubtless allow both Belgiam and Hol-
Jand to be gobtled up in order that
“(German unity’ may be secured; and
when Prassias victorious arms are turned
aguinst Britain herself, withont an ally
banged compelled to ee ‘, and
Rassia take the opportunity of set-
sling the Kastern wéction to autt her-
nell te. the weakening of Britain's

much wonder the people should feel in-
— at the coming natioual huimili-
7
in her agony allow her to be nailed to the
cross of the bad thief, over the corpse of the
Viear of Christ.
All that is not “clerical.”
Hitherto T have not felt myself protected
by you, as I ought to be, in my rights and
in my honor as a Christian and a citizen, 1
hare felt on my head and on my heart the
foul fect of the mob, and I have despaired
of the honor of my country’s last days.
The day before yesterday, when you told
that disgraceful crowd that you had made
Paris impregnable, I did not believe that
you spoke the truth, heeanse you had not
fulfilled the duty of making yourself im-
pregnable. +
Nevertheless, General, I will vote for yon,
hecanse your words to-day sre better, and
how, at least, a resolution too long looked
for in vain. in those words I see neithor
the Christian, nor the “clerical,” who would
on no account abandon the Church; but 1
ive in them at least the general and
the brave saan who will not give up his
egantry,
Retain power, then, or, rather, receive it,
and henceforth command boldly. Be the
man for France, save her honor. Hold out
to the last mouthful of bread, to
cartridge, to the lust drop lood. We no
ask you for victory; God will give it,
ped we ask no honor. The
! and sacrifice is ever in the
hand that seeks to save it, and if the eneniy

undertaken to bring into regular working a
constitutional system.” In strange contrast
to this peaceful occupation, are the words
written last September from Sedan :—* Un-
able to die at the head of my army, I lay my
sword at your Majesty's feet.”
After long and varied solicitations, Spain
has at length succeeded in obtaining a Prince
willing to ascend her vacant throne. The
young king will not find Spain a more
peaceful habitation than his native Italy.
The country is distracted and divided be-
tween Carlists and Republicans, and every-
where in a state of semi-insurrection.
The history of Italy during the last twelve
months presents an appalling spectacle of
irreligion, tyranny, and disorder. The bom-
bardment of Rome, and the imprisonment
of Pius the Ninth, are acts which have
roused the indignation of all Christendom,
The excommnnicated king shrinks from
taking possession of the stolen capital; but
he has been.told the alternative: if he goes
not there, the Republic will.
Until lately Russia’s chief occupation dur-
ing the past year has been the persecution
of Catholic Bishops and their flocks, and the
stamping out still more effectually of the
last embers of Poland's nationality, by pro-
hibiting the use of her language. She is
now engaged in threatening to tear up
solemn treaties, and renew her projects of
ambition over Turkey.
The British Colonies have not been with-
out disturbances. England's treatment of
New Zealand had well nigh cost her that
Colony’s allegiance. In Red River territory
Rie} assumed for a time a rebellious attitnde
towards the Conadian Government. The
situation looked threatening, but eventually
the diMeulty was removed by negotiation.
The Fenians too made another raid upon
Canada. It was repulsed with no loss to the
Canadians, and of the invaders only two
were killed and two wounded.
In January, 1869, a convention for the
settlement of the Alabama claims was signed
by Mr. Reverdy Johnson and Lord Claren-
don. The American Senate rejected it.
Diplomatic correspondence and negotiations
ensued, which have been continued at inter-
vals ever since. The question is again be-
the time he held the Leadership of the late |
i
Government, he had, both publicly and pri- |
vately, whenever called upon for an opinion
upon the subject, expressed himself in favor |
of agrantto St. Durstan’s College. We
ean bear testimony to the fact. In the
month of February last, Mr, Reilly invited
Mr. Ilaythorne to a meeting of the inhabit-
ants of Lot 56, in order that he might hear
the reasons urged by them against the valua-
tion put upon the Lot after it came into the
possession of the Government. When that
matter was settled, the two most important
public subjects of the day, namely—Con-
federation and the School question—natur-
ally came up for diseussion. Upon both of
these subjects, Mr. Haythorne, as Leader of
the Government, was called upon for an ex-
pression of his opinions, which he gave fally
and unreservedly. This is how it came to
pass that Little Pond was the locality where
Mr. Haythorne had the first chance to make
a public declaration upon the School ques-
tion, Upon that oceasion he said:
“ With regard to the Education Question, the
meeting having expressed an almost unanimous
opinion in favor of the existing system, onl
demanding a small grant to St. Dunstans Col-
lege, Mr. Haythorne said he was opposed to
sectarian grants, and although the Prince of
Wales College was not, strictly speaking, a
rectarian institution, yet, in effect, it was so,
and, considering all the circumstances relating
to the establishment of St. Dunstan's, hethought
it just to support a gran’ to that establishment.
It would be also politic, provided it promoted a
setilement of the School (Question, but it was
his opinion that all matters of this natuce should
be allowed to rest till after next Election.”
These views are clear and distinct. They
were delivered in the hearing of a large and
intelligent body of electors, at whose solici-
tation they. were elicited; they were con-
spicuously printed in the Herap, com-
mented upon by its eontemporaries, and
repeated at publie gatherings at Fort Au-
gustus, the Ten Mile House, and in Char-
lottetown. The charge of concealing his
views until after the general election is,
therefore, essentially false. He is not in a
position to say what occurred whon the
question came tp at the Council Board, over
which he presided, as its proceedings are
secret by virtue of the obligation of an oath;

sions of caucus meetings, to which the ques.

The Printer, John Greason, New York, Pub-
of evidence was in favor of the narrow gauge,
and accordingly decided in its favor, failing
to see that because a gross mistake had been
made, in adopting the Sf. Gin. gange, for
the existing portion of the Canadian Railway
System, the error must be perpetuated re-
gardless of cost, specd and safety.
As the centre of gravity is lowered, and
the engines and cars are constructed with an
angle ot stability, which is‘nearly the same
on either gauge, the absolute safety is quite
as great on the 3ft. 6in. gauge as on either
the 4ft, 8in. or the ft Gin. lines.
The ordinary speed of Express trains in
Canada and the United States is from 25 to
30 miles an hour, including stoppages; and
freight trains, are not or should not be run
faster than from 15 to 20 miles an hour.
The speed on the Queensland lines is from
20 to 30 miles an hour. On the Swedish
lines the ordinary speed for mixed trains is
16 miles an hour, but it has, on several oc-
casions, been brought up to 30 and 34 miles
an hour, Mr. Fox says: “The train on
which I was, rah, with great ease and per-
fect steadiness, at the rate of 82 miles an
hour;” and speaking of another line he
says: ‘“Weran at sometimes 30 miles an
hour, with perfect ease.; nothing can ex-
ceed the steadiness of both engines and car-
riages.” Mr, Pilel says he has seen one of
his engines at upwards of 40 miles an hour,
with as much feeling of ease and security as
when running any engine on a bxoader
gauge.
Fortanately no gauge has been adopted
in your case, and you thus avoid a strong el-
ement of opposition to the adoption of the
5ft. 6in gauge. Instead of entering into ar-
guments based on mere theory, I have given
you the evidence of engineers of high pro-
fessional standing, who having constructed
and worked lines of 3ft, 6in. ict » ean

Garibaldi complains that the French priests
“lag behind in the national movement,”
On the other hand, the Germans complain
that the French priests are stirring up the
ople into a regular nation of Franc-tireurs,
tis so difficult to satisfy every one. Per-
haps the truth is, that Garibaldi (and no
wonder) does find the’French cures cool to
him, while the German enemies of France
tind them patriotic enough.
