I beg leave toenclosc, herewith, for the infor- mation of His Excellency, the Allidavit of Mr. .Gurncy, which, I think, will fully establish the fact set forth in the 2d of the foregoing char s; end likewise, for the sunietpurposs, Ienc osc . two Allidavits of my own,— a tirst having refe- nrence to the day on which the Survey of the ‘Cargo and Materials of the Brotlterr, and the Sole thereof , without distinction between perish- ‘able and imperisbable pro rty, took place; and the second being intend to establish the cor- rectness of the cfiiy of Mr. Lawson's Account, :eent in with my emorisl; but, to the fidelity _ of which, as is copy, I was not allowed to swear ' before the Committee, as I wished to do.

, To these Afidevits, it is my wish most res . fully, yet most particularly, to cell Hie Icncy's attention; as also to the fact that, al- ' ‘trough I a plied, to the Honorable the Attorne ‘ neral, or Subpccnas for individuals vrhomI bed to betexainined, b the Committee, with crimes ‘-0 some of the c arges set forth in my einoi-_lal, the were not granted.

It will, no oubt, appear to His Excellency that I ought. some time since. to have returned an answer to the intimation conve ed to me, through your 0 cc; and I, therefore. be leave respectfully to explain why I did not. tracer- rectncss ot' my Co y 0 Ir. Lawson's Account,

pit-oduccd before t a Committee, was denied by , r. Iaiwson ; and, so I wee positive that it wse ' quite correct, I wrote, a short time afterwards.

to New Brunswick, for the original of the Ac- count, nnd I have delayed replying to your inti- mation, that mi ht be ob e to have it laid before His Excellency with my enswer. I have not ct, however, receiv it; but, when I do,

I wi 1 forward it to you, to be Isld before His

Excellency.

His Excellency, I am quite sure, will feel no disposition to blame me,tor promptly endeavor- ing to free my character from the im utations cast upon it. by the publication, in risznr-d‘.r Gazcllv, at r.

Lawson ; and I shall, therefore, forward copies of this letter, end the enclosures, to the Proprietor of thatPa r,with a request that they may be publishe in hie next issue, to the end that, although they may not fully establish my case, they me , at least, cause the public to suspend their ‘ti gment un- til a verdict, pronounced b e urt or Com- mission of Enquiry above sl suspicion of undue

worlt of s teacher may no it ll dollrllile. that he who would teach the

euthful mind useful knowledge should have been himself previously taught. He should have been so- cu-tornod to read the Holy Scripzures. to study the truths of religion. to ac tiuint himself with the pre- co to and promises of t e Bible. A general know- I o of these is s vslusble qualification. and he who has it. has the means of beings blessing to his pupils.

He should he a lover of children. '1 here are some who have a kind of constitutional aversion to t worlt of tsschin children. and who cannot be brought to feel a proper interest in. or love to them. Hence, whatever other quslitications such an individltul may possess. however well informed in religious matters, and however competent he me other account . this went of|oi'e for children. this disincline- tinn to serve them, and this utter inditforece about them. is s fatal disability. He only who bsholds them in a pro r light, who sees in them objects demand- ing an dseervin attention and attachment. and whose natural inc inritions lead him to take an into- rest iri. and feel an nlfectionate regard for them. he only is properly qualified and prepared to be useful to children. _ He sboti_ld be_prepared to make sacrifices. There is a sense in which the labours in question are sources of pleasure; and in which they may be engaged in,se means of intellectual etercise. but in enersl the du- ties of the ecliool require sacrifices; an he who would perform them properly and faithfully, will find many occasions for self-deniiil, and ursny reasons for fore- going the grutificstions of ease and indulgence. He must make up his iriind to rivation and cross-berrring. and to rsliirquish miriry litt e tlriirgs which others pur- sue. He must count the cost, reckon on the result. and with every consequence in his view, devote hitti- self decidedly to this onerous duties.

His character knd conduct should be moral and correct. It is not always considered how much weight a good character has with children. and bow irnpurirint it is. thiit he who teaches others should he himself what he teaches them to be. Besides, as s School should be a semi Isry of order and virtue. us the object of it should be. to proiriote rrrornl worth and reli ious knowledge, how ill-quuli is e to assist in I e promotion of these. who is hlriiselfiriiniorrrl. ir- rsgulnr, dissipated. end neglectful of that which is

He is rather in need of correction lriiirself, than entitled to administer it even to children.

Ile should be p tisrit and persevering. Sometimes the levities and lieedle-sness of children may be tire- some and trying; sometimes their dulness or obstina- cy ove very provoking; and sometiinss the littleness of their improvement me be discouraging. He therefore, who we be usefu to them. must be patient, and constant in his cndesvours—iriurt not be easily provoked to wrsth—not given to es rice and passion--not soon sngry—not prone to be iscourug- ed by trifles-—not sulrject to flucturrtion. and given to chsnge—not soon depressed in spirit—not soon wee- ry and faint in his irririd; but he must bear with pro- vocuticn—he must exercise tience and labour, and not faint. and as the hnshsn mart hath long patience in waiting for the fruits of the earth. as our Father who is in heaven. hath grest patience and |ongsud'er- ing towards us; so should we, in the work in question. be patient and hope to the end. He. therefore, who has a general knowledge of religion and the Scrip-
