Tue Annual closing Examination of the College and Nermal School took place yesterday morning. His Hovor,

Governor McDonald, presided; aad on the plattorm beside him sat ex-Governor * Laird,D. Montgomery, E«q., Superinteud- eut of Education ; R. R. FitzGerald, Esq, H. J Cundall, Esq, Richard Sloggett, Esq., Rev. C. O'Meara, Rev. ee Frame, Hector, MeLeod, Esq., Royalty ; and others. The gathering was graced by the presence of several ladies, who sat in frontof the plattorm. The proceed-| ings began with lessons by two of the pupil teachers, Messrs. Wm. Matheson and Wm. Thomson, both of whom, taught very well, the latter winning the Goveruor-General’s Bronze Medal. | These lessons were given to the pupils of | of Mr. MeSwaiu’s department; and at} their finish the pupils were conducted out | by these two gentlemen, and the students |

’

of the College were assembled. Over) one hundred were in attendance. The

room is seated tor fifty-four, but chairs had been inserted in all available spaces ;

He was followed by Prof. Caven, who}

questioned ov a passage iv Latin. Anderson theo gave au address on the work of position ot the College. The average attendance had been over one hundred, and this notwithstanding the iucreased difficulty of gaining admission. The conclusion was that our higher schools in the country were doing superior work.

For the first tirae in the history of the College, diplomas were te be given. ‘To obtain one of these, a student needs to attend at least two years, and to make at the end vot less than an average of 75 per cent. of the attainable number of marks. These marks are given on seven subjects, as follows :—

Euglish, and Eoglish Literature.

Lativ, and Latin Composition.

Greek, and Greek Composition.

French.

Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry.

Physical Science.

History.

Young ladies would be allowed the diploma without a kuowledge of Greek or Trigonometry, vor was Greek neces: sary to a male student intending to pro- secute the sudy of scieuce. Two had gaised this diploma, Gordon Luird and Preston Tuplin, each of whom had an average of about 90 per cent.

Professor Andersen explained that inasmuch as the ‘Theological Faculty of Pisce Hill Seminary, Halifax, had full coniiderce in the character of the train. ing given in this College, they had agreed to accept such a diploma as equivalent to apass B. A. (degree in Dalhousie or Fredericton Universities in the subjects above named, so that a student wishing to pursue Theology in Pine Hill would, with this diploma, only be obliged to attend lectures in Arts on Philosophical subjects.

The prizes were then distributed by Gov. McDonald. It will be seen by the list which we published yesterday, that Mr. FitzGerald gave $10 to the best studeat in Agricultural Chemistry. This, he stated, he would continue next year, aud for as loog as he had $10 iu his pocket tospare. Governor McDonald's prize of $!0 was divided equally between two pupils who stood equal and second in this subjeet. At the close of the dis- tribution, addresses were made by the Governor, and Messrs. Laird,FitzGorald, Frame and Montgomery’ All expressed themselves well pleased with the ex- amivation aad appearauce of the students. The proceedings ended by singiug “God Save the Queen.”

Reaina, N. W. T., May 26, 1825.— Riel, | who is lying in jail here, has at last been | In ery iby the press.

his cause, or elso he is mak - | ing a strong bid for the support] and protection of ultra Protes- | tants He claims that his desire in the re-|

form movement, as he calls it, was twofold | —the first obj»ct being to free the people el | the New World from the yoke of Rome,and | the second being te redress the political | grievances of the half-breeds of the North-

| west

RIEL'S HOPES,

Being asked if he ever expected to suc- ceed against the government in his rebel-} lion, he said :—‘No, not by wariare ; but | hoped to make such a movement as would frighten the government and bring terms) out of them, as we had not been properly | treated. In council we laid our plans to} capture Major Crozier and the mounted police under him. If we could capture and | hold as prisoners a large body of men we! could then dictate our own terms to the | government. Then followed the fight at| Duck Lake and the police escaped us. We} next resolved to capture Irvine and the police under him when he was coming to| the relief of Crozier, but he made a detour | and eluded us. We then resolved to keep quiet, hoping that General Middleton would move against us with a small force. It was our intention if he did to make a} bold dash and capture a hundred men or so | and play the same game with the gov- ernment. This is why we did not cut the wires or raid storer. I thought we would have oecazion to use the wires, and se decided to let them stand. I knew per- fectly well we could not maiatain a fight egainst a large military force, and did not want to. I made no preparations for that contingency. I was opposed to the Fich Creek battle in the council, but Dumont, who was its advocate, carried his point. 1 wanted to fight at Gabriel’s Crossing in- stead, as 1 deemed that a better fight could be made from that poin?.’ |

* What was your fighting strength

‘About five hundred, one hundred and forty of whom were Indiang.’

* Did you incite the Indians to rise ?”

‘Yes ; ] sent a courier to them inform- ing them of our position, end urging them tc join us. I expected to be j-ined at! Batoche by a large body of Indians, or my} men “ould not have held out so long. The

ously.’

‘Did you fight yourself?’

‘Certainly; see here,’ and he exhibited his slouch hat, throngh which one or two bullets had penetrated, ‘I was at the Fish Creek fight and had a narrow escape. A| she!] burst within three feet of me.’ }

To a query as to the number of killed and} wounded Riel was silent at first, but aftor- wards admitted that the number was large.

‘Was there any tenth in the report of} your working with the Feniane?’

‘No. I feared they would do mere harm | than good; but when we eaw the case grow- | ing hopeless, as we were being hemmed in by the troops, the council wrote a procla- mation, which it wag resolved to send by a runner to Montana, appealing to Jrishmen to come and assist us. The proclamation was to have been published in the news- papers, but the troops had crushed us be- fore we could do anything.

TH PRIESTS AND THE HALF BREEDS.

‘ Were the priests friendiy to you ?’

‘They were not and they were. They insisted on our being submissive to them. They were sgainst us trying to redress our own grievances. Ever since the doctrine of tne infallibility of the Pope was pro- | pounded they have been tyrannical. They | did not wish the people to do anything, |

AI

‘Church holy, Catholic and vital,

i they were thirty years ago. Their pro- visional government is just the government that existed before the Dominion obtained any foothold in the Territory. The hall | breeds never sold their rights or agreed to |

‘give up their government or in any way to}

recognize the Dominion goverfiment ; but | they are ready to ¢ into @ treaty by | ‘ch they will become loyal and contented citizens of the confederation.’

Riel talked for along time on the griev- ances of the half-breeds whom he calls God's people. He described the fight at Duck Lake, where he was present, He spoke about the fight at Batouche, and said, with tears in his eyes: ‘l saw my companions killed, my wifo and children threatened with death, and 1 felt this was a bad job.’

He declared he did the best he could for his prisoners.

RIEL’S RELIGIOUS CREED.

An interesting of the religious creed adopted by Riel’s coun cil, and given under seven heads : —

First--We believe that all true believers constitute the true Church. Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ are Christians, and all Christiane make the We thus embrace all denominations in our faith,

Second—We do not believe in the in-; fallibility of the Pope. That infallibility

coma of Reme has done much harm. The prophets and apostles were "ot infallible.

Third—We believe in the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures and the right of every man to read and learn the truths they contain,

Fourth—We believe in a regularly or- dained ministry. We would accept minis- ters of all denominations—Episcopalians, Presbyterians and Congregationlists—ia

ner

the interview is

jour wivistry without reordaining. We

would be somewhat doubtful about japtists.

Fifth. —We believe in a forma of Church

government We prefer the Episcopal form. We would like to sea a head bishop for the Dominion or for tha new world who would be independent of Rome. We do not think that the affairs of the Church can be rightly administered so faraway. In fact Rome has ceased to be the holy apostolic See. She is now a great organization of political diplomacy.

Sixth.—We pray to God, to Christ, to Mary, and to the saints. Three persons of are in these three first. God the Father, is perfect and highest; God the Son is perfect and the Savior; Mary is pure,but not perfect, andin her dwells the Holy Ghost.

Seveuth—We believe in the final salva- tion of all men. God’s mercy will reach further than man’s sin. He will not allow things to go so far that restoration is im- possible. No injury can be dene to a soul which He cannot repair. The agonies of hell may be endured for countless ages, but the mercy that reached earth is not beyond the reach of hell. | A

Clever Embezzler. HOW BERNARD, THE DEFAULTING BANK CLERK iN MONTREAL, OPERATED=SUS-

PICION AGAINST ANOTHER CLERK.

A. Moutreal despatch of the 22nd reports that the exzitement among the clerks of the Bank of Montreal increases as the books of the Bank are being exomined to discover the extent of the frauds practised by the clerk named Bernard. There seemed such proof against one of the clerks, a man in the same department as Bernard, who had been very friendly with him and lived in the same honse at Lachine, that the Bank called in Detective Fahey, and the clerk

ireferred to has been since under surveil-

jance, and was not at his usual place in the Bank on the 22nd. The previous evening the detective went out to Lachine, and

searched the suspected person’s dwell- ing. The detective, however, __—ire- fuses to give any information, as

do the bank authorities, who say they have as yet no positive proof against the man, and until they have it would be un- just to mention his name or give any in- formation concerning him. It is under- stood that the mode in which the bank waa defrauded by Sernard, et al., was very ingenious. The men handied no cash, but had under their control the transferring of credits from the Montreal Bank to others. They first opened accounts in their cwn names at the Molsons Bank, and then in the regular way transferred to themselves credits from the Bank of Montreal. Con- nected with this crime is another of whioh the perpetrators of the former were the victims. Some time ago the bank discharged one

FORCED YO FIGHT.

‘Why did you fight ?

‘The peopte compelled me to doso. [| told them Jast winter that our bill of rights had done its work, and they should let me go back to Montana. They would get all that was just in due time. They said I could net go away. The matter was stirred up, and I must fight it ont. I was not the ringleader. They obliged me to lead them in the fight. But the matter will no doubt be iried in a court of law, when the truth will come out.’

‘ Will the people fight any more ?

‘I think not. I told them to give up their arms and surrender. I surrendered myself to General Middleton.’

‘Why didn’t the Indians join you ?’

‘They would have done so had not Col. | Otter attacked them. That disconcerted | their plans, and prevented the contemplated junction,’

THE HALF-BREEDS’ RIGHTS,

‘Why did you rebel

‘We did not rebel; we defended and maintained the rights which we enjoyed and had neither forfeited nor sold. The half-breeds of the Territories are the own- ers of the soil they acquired. They have | an interest in the country with which they have never parted. They desire to have an equitable arrangement made for their in- terests. They d«fend themselves. They stand on the rights they enjoyed before the transfer, They stand today just where

entirely upon the prosseds of the felonious business. The matter is being thoroughly investigated by Mr. Clouston, the local manager, who has bees in consultation with the bank’s attorney, Mr. W. L. Robertson, (). C., and Mr. ©. J. Fieet. The rumor that the clerk in question was under arrest is not true, nor has any warrant been issued against him. The true facts of the case are that certain irregularities have been discovered connection with th» Bernard which would seem to show that other clerks at least must have been cognizant of what was going on, if not, indeed, of being in- volved inthe fraud itself. The clerk in question, whose name is in everybody's mouth, is a married man, and is highly connected. His friends believe and hope he may be able to clear himself of the sus- picions which are entertained against him. What appears to have led to the belief that he was arrested is the fact that at half-past four on the afternoon of the 21st Detective Fahey went to the Bank, and immediately left with the clerk in question. He then, it appears, accompanied him to Lachine, and searched certain effects there belonging to Bernard. :
