A Velenial consultation on the subject of the Queboe and Haifax Railway lately terminated at Quebec, between Re- prosentatives of the Canadian, Nova Seotion and New Bruns- wiek Governments, together with a couple of English Capital- jsts.~-the Provinejal Sex retary, Attorney and Solicitor Geveral being ministers plenipotentiury from this Provinee. Mr. Tilley i¢ appointed to proceed w England on a mission con- nected with this gulject. and to present the claims of his evan ty to tin peria’ Tecoguition and assistance in the comters- placed dine of Railroad.

This scheme and its probable consequences to the comutnity in general, and especially to a great namber of the iabourmyg poopie, contribute to sustain fora while longer the desponding spirits of our citivens. And it is sincerely wished that the evetim plation of its destiny may infuse into tie souls of the jangaishing fellows a ray of hope which will keep them affout,if not swimming,oa the truwbled waters tliat enco ai pass them.

The next subject that affords us a temporary relief—as tending. m reflecteng upon it, ty withdraw our minds from the consideration of griver mattere, is the prodigious Sussex Exh eieon of human beingy, ail kinds of cattle, reptiles and cui sities of nature and art, including Governors, Colonel Adj. Generals and Volunteers without number, and some of thera with Jittl: merit; also w renowned fore gner known as ~ Professur Brenan .’’ who lectured to the assembled thousands upea bis capacity to deseribe the ailments ** to which Mesh is heit,”’ without ang explanation from the invalids.

It is anderstood that the Board of Railway Commissioners louk upon the result of the Exlubition with a greater degree of eatisfaction than any other persons who patronized it. A great vutery has | een raised against the lovality in whie>¢he

Next in the yeti fogue of admiring patrons are a set of un- NPR speculaturs in Refreshments. Growps of those fel- ows located theme-lves in the most available places surround- wis the Exhibition grownds ; they attempted in all cases, and succeeded in May, to extort the most inere ibly excessive charges for the most miserable articles intended to soothe the iumer man. Black legs and pilferers from the land of civil warlare Were quite numerous at Sussex. Report says that those polished sowrpers succeeded in relieving sume green-borus and blae-noses—wiich is about one and tie same thing— feum their gold watches, chains, and hank motes. The only really fatal event resulting from the Exhibition was the death of ode respeetatle crtizen, whose decease throws no little sus- piciva vo the conduct of a petty Railway official, and leaves a young and beautiuul family at the mwereies of, perhaps, un- feeling neighvurs.

Well, of course, all the talk about the great display at Sus-ox, assists mati cially to alleviate the languishing condi- tien of the citizens of St. John. But here again two cireum- stences of Counteracting influence arise im fall splendour beiore their incredulous eyes. This place and its neighbour- hoods are possessed of Vulunteer forces, sufficient, one would suppose —jurizing always from their own pompous expressions te tear the legrels from the victorious Southerners at Ball Run. The idea that a young lad from the country who has ean only @ short time under dril!, and had ao pretensions to pi petior gunmanship should defect all the practiced marke- men and carry off the Prince's Co p. completely left our Luasting Voionteers and their St. John friends in a state of utter dissati#faction witu themselves andnot a bit too cour- tesus by others. hal event threw the baughty Volanteers of St. John into a temperament by no means cheerful ; but that the Inter-Colonial prize uf a eustly silver Urn should be won in the conspicuous manner it has bees, by a were Islander, was quite enoagh to puzzle their comprehension, and more than’ suffi ‘tent to hawhble therr vanity aad proclaim their superficial acquaintances with the art of handling the rifle. ‘Fue P.

For tue Examixen,. Whee ev. strives the worst have greatest names.” OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.

Before showing that the interests of educstion will vot be Petarded by having the Nermal Scho! abolished, and that the epost of the Superiutcadant ignores te training system of the Model Schoul a» conducted b, Mr. Webster, it may bee be proper tv note the action of the Legislature jas session in reference to that elause of the Ejucation Aet whieh requires the a:terds.ce of students tive months at the Norwal Schoo! to quality them to receive a license to teach » district school. The rule observed by the Howe of Assem- bly last winter in baving the business closed during the evenings—the ouly time the penple cou d conveniently spare to attend the sittings; and the leagth of time which elapsed Letween the closing of the Leyislative se-sion and the pabli- cation ofthe debates, have caused the public to lose interest in, aud have but @ slight kin wiedge of perilamentary trans- getions, with which ali should be thoroughly acquainted. The manner of reporting and publishing legislative eloqucnee in th s Island is so fer behind the progress of the age, and se ivtolerable to orators. publishers and wewspaper readers, that a slight a lu-ion to it, though it be a digression, will be deemed excusable.

Who that reads an English paper does not know that a speech delivered in the British parliament in the evening is spread before thousands of readers ju the next morning's papers? Lt lias more than once occurred, that more than a column of a «peech bas been published whilst the speaker was “ 60 bis legs” waking the peroration. But here a speech ie delivered iu March or April, and it is wot published until August o1 September. Lt is related by Sr Juha Mandeville that having with his crew put into a creek in Nova Gembla, to refit his vessels, they «xpe.ieuced extremely cold weather. So inclement was it, that the crew of each vessel built themeglves « tent, or culbin of wood and turf to protect their lives from the severity of the mtense frost. They soon vbserved that in speaking, though they sat wear the fire, and were wiibin two yards of each other, many of their words were lost. They even found that when they spoke to each other from a greater distance than a ‘ew yards pot a single word could be distmzusbed. Afier being much perplexed to discover the cause uf this, to them, singular circumstance, they at lengta found that the words froze in the air before they reached the ears of the persons to whom they were ad- dressed. Upon the increase of the cold the whole company became dumb, or rather deaf. for it was aafierwards foynd that they spoke well enuugh, but they could nut hear, as the sounds were bo Over spoken than they beeanie condensed vod were lost for the time. Without vouching for the yera- eity of the aseount of Sir John Mandeville's adventure, | give the remuiader is bis owa words : —

“tt was now a miserable spectacle to see us nodding and gaping at one avo:ber, every wan taking and no man heard, Vue wight observe # sesman that coud baila ship at a leagues distance, beckouing with his band, straining ijs luags, and tearing his throwt ; but all in vain. ane ‘ Nec por nev verba seguenter ! nor yuice por words ensyed |’

« We continued iu’ Nova Zewbla three weeks in this dis- mal plight. At length, upow a turn of wind, the air about us begun to thaw. Uur cabin was immediately filed with a dry cattering sound, which we afterwards tuund to be the crackling of consonants that broke over our heads, und were otten mixed with # yen:le hissing, which | imputed to the letter 5, that occurs so frequently in the English toogue. soon alter felt a bre ze of whispers rushing by my car; for those, being of a soft and geatie substance, immediately Jiquified wm the warm wind that blew aeross vur cabin.
