Charlottetown, May 31,1856. Rev. Siit,

I have been much interested in reading the Re ort of the Belfast Teachers‘ Association, as u lished in the newspapers, and trust, that its institution will rea inc all the success. that its most sanguine supporters desire. Such or- ganizations ave been Ion established in Prus- sia.where the system of E ucatiou. next to that of our beloved Scotland, is the best in the or . e 94. in the second volume of Hill's “National Education," it is asserted of the schoolmasters in Prussia, that they hold meet- ‘ from time to time; that these gatherings iportuuities of friendly intercourse. of ‘n dillisreut lens on s stems of teach- ; and t ereby ad iug to eac member's store ow

rod . t highly creditable for the Teachers of Youth, in that part of the Island, which I had the honour to re resent in the Assembly some y:ars since, (an for the welfare of whose lu-

bitauts, I must ever feel a deep interest) to associate themselves for self-improvement, and it will be well, if this noble example were followed in every district, throughout this fevou Island.

As I believe it to be the duty of every man. to encourage an assist those who manifests laudable desire to obtain knowledge, I beg to ask the Association, through you. to accept a

ckage of Books, per list herewith, as a mini-

cstaticn of my desire to aid in promoting the object of your useful organization.

Among the Books, you will ﬁnd the best Book in the world, the , ' o ; —aud which I send for the use of the Associa- tion. as ially when its meetings are opened, and Go ’s blessing invoked in prayer.

have the honour to be, Rev. Sir, our most obt. Servt., Cristian Youim. Rrv. A. Micnr. President, B. T. A. '

Hosousao Sin, 3

It is very gratifying and most encouraging to, find one in your honoured and inﬂuential station, takingaucli lively interest in an sesocistioninten-. dad or the iuprovcment ofthe Teachers of Youth. I cannot, indeed, conceive of a more auspicious union of the coming prosperity and barmon of this rising Colony than that there guiding the affairs ofthe‘ country should encou-

- rage a sound--religious education. Such a state

of things might well foster the pleasing hope that our intellectual and general prosperity would rapidly a precisie the greatness and generally aekuowl ged prc-eminence of “our beloved" fatherlaod, whose many sxoslleucios it were well for us to iruilate.

It must too. be I source of satisfaction to the inhabitants of these districts to receive practical proof that one to where they entrusted their ecto- inou ietcests.-still embraces favourable oppor- tunity of prsmotisg their welfare. Itlmuy be well at the some time to remark, as an inducement to stars, who rsay notice your approval of an association, that Teachers and their proprietors are hegialiag to discover nssrhed vbseelt to new from the opportunities which the associ-

ation alford to Teachers for the entire change of l thought and modes of teaching.

I beg to acknowledge in their behalf. Ills reesi t of the package of books‘ trloemrtted by

on fin the use of the association. I shall Ilollﬂr the some to them at their first ordinary (monthly) meeting: and [am sure they will be received win you wi-h cordial ihanlrlulnsss. The objects ofthe association is, to procure and to have a library consisting of the moat approved systems of teaching as will as other suitable books for the lose of the members ofthe association.

Allow me to say further for myself and I hope for many others intrusted, that your gift is inﬁ- nitely the more valued as containing a copy of the priceless Book. For all in places of trust and inﬂuence to recoirirnend and enumerate the adop-

efllte young, and to regulate and control all, it would assuredly prove Ihe true lcaven or salt of society. That but giving this blessed ‘Book the supre-mat-_v in matters of faith and practice in that country—evcr dear to all its genuine sons- has rendered that people, from peasant to prince, not only at home but wherever they have wa.-uler- ed the same high place to its salutary principles. distinguished for moral and intellectual greatness.

The most that I can do in return for your kind notice of us, is, rtatedIy—in accordance with the habitual practice of the church of our fathers- as we enter the house of prayer in each return of lhe Lords day, to implore the blessing and counsel of Him from whom is all power nnd

' authority, to rest in the “powers that be" so as

to enable them to conduct the important and re-

- spoueiblc aﬂairs entrusted to them in such it way

as shall ultimately prove satisfactory to them- selves and conducive to the general good. I am, honoured sir, yotirs very gratefully, Auxinnsir M‘Kav. 'I'o the Hon. Charles Young, Charlottetown.

Nothing gives us greater pleasure than wit- nessing the spread o learning and the encou- .ragemeut of education. We attended the semi- annual examinstion of the Central Academy a short time since and fully concur in the praise given to the Masters and Pupils of that institu- tion by the mirier Last week we were gratified with an invitation to be present at the

rst—we believe—public examination of the Catholic Collegiate school at their noble ediﬁce in the Royalty of this City. It was not to be expected from the comparatively short time that the institution has been in actual operation, that great progress could have been made in the higher branches of edu- cation, and we confess we were not a little sur- prised, as well as gratiﬁed in being called ll _ n to take part in the examination ofa class of ir-

il and another in Cresar’s Commentaries the respective pu ils of which acquitted themselves in a manner a ike creditable to theirown indus- tr and application, and to the educational ta out of the receptors. the Revs. eaers. M‘Donald and lielau. Attat bed as we are to

it as the most solid foundation for the others, we are not insensible to the Jp-eat advantages ofa" L ' ‘ ‘ “ tongues

derived by a large class of upils from its t roﬁcienoy in the French an uage. Weme hefore taken occasion to remar that it acts as

of it will enable a man to understood in any rt of the world. His Lordshi the Catho ic Bishop of Charlottetown, the on. the Provincial Secretary. Solicitor General, the Revs. Messrs. Perry. Pbelan, and Brady. John Morris. Esq., John Gainsford, .. and a variety of others rents of the children and wellwiahers of the institution were present.

F or ourself, we have only tosay, that we were hi hly tilled; we see in the pro se of this an other educational establishments the best prestage of the future happiness and prosperity of this Island.

Lr.ovn’s New lions ma CLASSING Sums.- VVs'Imer.r European 'I‘i'm¢.r gives us the following interesting remarks on Lloyd‘s new rules. These rules have been published in our paper durin the last three weeks.

" We have to congratulate our colonial friends on an event which, if properly carried out, will have a sat and, we believe. beneﬁcial effect upon ship- uilding abroad. We allude to Lloyd's new rule regarding colonial muscle to be classed on the stocks. This will ulford an opportunity of having them com- pletely tinished, and having them ready for sale or charter, on their arrival in this country; and it will also revent them being exposed to the risk of attaining, to which every vessel must, more or less. be subject, which comes across with a cargo before being properly fastened. We consider, therefore, that the new regulations will be highly advantage- ous to all who are desirous of turning out hrst-class vessels, and that it will matsfmlly orihsnce the value 0 colosf ' , ' the olaseisig is toally per- fumed, as not on will they have power of properly and entirely ﬁnishing vessels under their own imme- diats iaspectiea, but the cost of cleaning will In ml- tsvislly reduced It is lreeoiue, therefore, of the h‘ importance that vessels I 50 deal is such a Queer, esjto eeovlucu world that the new role is not only appreciated, but can all will be eﬁstually carried out.sId the UIIIUOWBII

'l:te weather on Thursday, the l0th Jul . havirg pr_oved un ropitious, the Milton Tea Party. which was 'xed for that day, was de- ferred till Friday. The rain which fell in the interlm.ove.rcame_ the dust; and the brilliant sun Irhi_ch illumined the grounds at the hour of meeting. enhanced the beauty of the scene. l‘he Jbyect of the s_or'ree was to raise auxiliary means towards building a Parsonage for Milton and Etustico ; and we are happy to learn, that. after paying the band. &o., a sum of £45 was realiaed for this desirable end. Through the kindness ofJ W. Johnson. Es uire, the pictu- resque grounds of “ Newstea ” were thrown open for the occasion, and no sacriﬁce on the part of that gentleman and the Misses Johnson was spared, which could give additional inter- est or attraction to the feta. The decorations‘ of the tables, as well as of the spot selected for the tea, were ofa very pleasing character, and reflected the greatest credit on the ladies and gentlemen of Milton. Mr. '1‘. Williams's line urarquee—-which was generously lent for the bazaar—was pitched u n the lawn, vi: it via to one of smaller dimensions kindly furnished by the Hon. Cha_s. Young; and a lofty canopy of sail cloth, raised between seine clumps of state- ly ﬁri, protected the refreshment tables from t e lieroen_ess of the sun. At two o'clock, groups of visitors from the country. in holiday attire, began to cluster on the lawn ; and as carriage upon carriage from the city rolled’ up the handsome slope in front of Newstead, and discharged its gay frei ht into the marquees- the spectacle presents was most animated and im sing Amongst the guests were Ilia Ex- cel eucy the Lieutenant Governor, Mr and the Misses Daly, who expressed themselves equal- ly charmed with all present, with the fascina- tions of the spot, and the taste of the arrange- ments. Throughout the afternoon, and during tea, (ofwhioh upwards of450 persons partook), the city amateur band enlivened the proceed- ings; and it was not till a late hour, as the shades of evening were thering around. that the woods regained their accustomed silence, and that all of the delightedassemblage, which the festivities had attracted, had forsaken the avenues of Newstsad.—Com.
