This eminently Christian Minister proceeded in an/ sentiments were liberal in the highest degree, and his nranner_ s!udies. ascending scale of crime, to show from uxproven statistics, that murders increased in proportion to the spread of the Ca- tholic religion ; but stultified himself with his own weapons, | by showing that Naples, or Napples, as he pronounced the | word, was twice as bad off in this respect as Rome itself, the seat of the Pontificate! He arrived, by a train of reasoning peculiar to himself, at the conclusion, that * Popery,”’ as he asserted, being on the decline, Protestants had every cause to exert themselves against its diminished strength, which would be exerted against them. We trust that the man who so con- fidently charged the Bishop with having been guilty of an act, of which we pronounce him to be as innocent as his assailant has shown himself to be of the first principles of our common Christianity, will, when he adduces the proofs of his assertion, at the same time establish the correctness of his statistics, that the public may judge of the amount of credit to which they and their enunciator may be entitled. The crowded state of our columns this week prevents us, at present, devoting more space to this subject—which, however, will be resumed in our next issue, wherein we shall review the observations of the other speakers, and briefly shew the whole nature, origin and ybject of the present agitation. iti tnclapaageeabitiien So much of our space being, this week, devoted to spiritual affairs, we are compelled to withdraw our attention from some important temporal concerns. Amongst these, is the further consideration of those great public questions, which will shortly undergo discussion in our Legislative halls, and to which, at some length, we have already invited the notice of our readers. We intimated last week our intention to consi- der the necessity of establishing a Board of Works, which, instead of entailing on the country extra expenditure, will be the means of saving to it hundreds of pounds annually ; besides affording, in its performance of the services that should be en- trusted to it, much public satisfaction. Had we space, we would at once enter upon the discussion of the subject; but this we must defer until our next No. NEW BRUNSWICK. Taz Legislatare of this Province met for the dispatch - business on the llth inst. Amongst the various topics referred to in the Governor’s Speech, His Excellency alludes to one which is of no sma!) importance to the people of this Colony— namely, the improving the means of transit between the north- ern and eastern shores of New Branswick and Prince Edward Island. Our Government are fully prepared to co-operate in this very desirable work ; and we have, therefore, no doubt that before the ensuing summer can elapse, we shal] have improved facilities for crossing the Northumberland Strait at Bedeque, as well as an improvement in the crossing on the winter route, — which will greatly extend the intercourse between the two Provinces. The following is the passage of the Speech referred to :-— ‘* The attention of the Government has been directed to the insufficiency of the existing means of conveyance both of pas- sengers and goods between the various ports on the northern and eastern shores of this Province and Prince Edward Island. You will, I am confident, recognise the advantage which the Provinee would derive from inereased faeilities of ‘commercial intercourse with that Colony. The Government of P. E. Island are prepared to co-operate in making such arrangements as would afford to the people of both Colonies the advantage of a more complete system of intercommunication between them, and a proposal will be submitted to you for carrying into effect these arrangements.”’ Some of the New Brunswick papers very confidently predict a change iu the Government of that Province before the close of the Session. NOVA SCOTIA. Tue Legislature of this Province has Deen in session since the 5th ; and the principal occurrence we have been made ac- quainted with by our latest Halifax papers, is, the discussion on @ vote of want of confidence in the Government, submitted by Mr. Johnston on the first day of the Session. It appears that the Catholic members of the House, who number eight or nine, and who have heretofure uniformly supported the Young Administration, deserted their party and their principles on this oceasion, through a very violent personal antipathy to- wards Mr. Howe, with whom a section of the Halifax Catholics have had some angry contentions, — and who, being an officer of the Government, was supposed to exercise considerable control over it. Owing to this defection in the Liberal camp, Mr. Johnston's resolution, as we learn by a telegraphic message, was carried? but whether Mr. Young and his col- leagues have resigped, we have not yet ascertained, but will probably learn by the ensuing Mail. In view of the unnatural allianee which has been formed to defeat the Government, and which every body knows cannot be enduring — we think Sir Gaspard Le Marchant ought to do as Sir Alexander did — when an unnatural alliance was near bringing this Colony into @ state of anarchy —and appeal at once to the country for their decision.

David Fitzgerald for sub- scriptions to a religious newspaper about to be published, delivered from a novel advertising office, namely, from the Pul- pit of St. Paul's Church, was vigorously supported by the editorial puffs of the reverend gentleman; but he forgot to describe, with his usual suavity, the sad state of things in which we live, and neglected to tell us that peace and good will be- tween neighbours and fellow Christians, had lasted too long in this our Island home—that consequently it was high time to kindle and throw abroad the torch and the firebrand, to set managainst man, womanagainst woman. Does Mr. Fitzgerald lay the flattering unction to his soul, that the publication he contemplates, and the support of which he invokes from the bigoted and the ignorant-—will stop at raising an outery against Roman Catholics? Is he prepared for all the contro- versies that will arise between the Chureh of England people, the Presbyterians of different sorts, the Baptists, the Bryan- ites, the Macdonaldites, the Universalists, and the thousand and one classes who live by disunion, and whose daily food is religious hatred, bigotry and controversy? We have hitherto been a peaceful community, cultivating that brotherly love and charitable forbearance which the Gospel inculeates. Woe be to those whose short-sightedness and blind animosity are striving to interrupt this happy state of things. We look on religious riodicals in a community like ours, where learning is at so low an ebb, and intolerance so much in vogue—even amongst members of the same Church—with perfect abhorrence. The embryo production will never unite Protestants, while it will set them at variance with Roman Catholics. The Rey. D. | Fitzgerald, et hoc genus omne, have no more tolerant feelings towards those of their own Church than they have for Catholics; and under such auspices we may look for no charity, forbear- ance, or brotherly love — no endeavour to convince, but denunciations and vengeance. Why should the proposed paper differ with those who are its promoters? Then, again, it is to be expected that a counter Press will be set up. Who isto put bounds to this animosity and ill-will? There never was a project better designed to injure society, and to subvert peace and true religion. That there should be no difference in religious opinion, we know is impossible. In larger countries, and in better in- | formed communities, though sincere men will urge con- troversial points, and it is their duty to do so, it would be done with learning and wisdom rather than rancour. With us the publication of the first number of the ‘ Sanetified Press’’ will be, if it do not at once create an explosion, the placing the | match to the train, which will ere long fire the magazine, and in which at present are stored peace, good order, and brotherly ove. We regret the announcement advertised from the pulpit of St. Paul’s Church. It speaks of contention and hatred, to be marshalled to the attack of every feeling of Christian brotherhood. A PROTESTANT. +~<>oe-> To tue Epiror oF tue Examiner. instant—purporting to be an answer to my former communi- cation to you—contains some misstatements which I cannot allow to pass unnoticed. Mr. Stark says :—** From more than one conversation which I had with Mr. Coles on the subject,’ (that is, using the Bible in our mixed schools)—** some time before the opening of the Nor- mal School, I was distinctly led to believe the Bible would be in- troduced.’’ Now, Sir, 1 beg to say, that in any conversations which Ifhaye had with Mr. Stark, he hasentirely misunderstood me, or he now asserts what he knows to be untrue. I never led him to believe that the Bible would be introduced asa class- book, and its reading made compulsory. On the contrary, I have always expressed to the Visitor of Schools my decided opinion, that in this cowatry, where the population is com- posed of so many religious denominations, the reading of the Seriptures in our mixed schools could not be made compulsory by Act of Parliament ; but that the reading of the Bible might be left, as at present, to the option of the Trustees in the several districts, and that in many of the schools the Bible was re- gularly read. Besides, Mr. Stark had for his guidance in superintending the Normal School the Act of the Legislatare in reference to that institution, in which, had he read it, he might have seen that the Board of Education were alone em- powered to make rules for the management of the Normal School. Mr. Stark makes frequent allusion to Stow’s ‘ Training system,’’ of which Bible training, he says, is the chief feature, and that a Master was appointed to carry out that system. This is a misrepresentation of the facts of the case. A Master was certainly appointed to conduct the Normal School of this vlace on the principles established by Mr. Stow, but in so far only as a secular education is concerned; even Mr. Stark him- self admits, that ‘*in the practical working of the ‘ Training system’ the Bible is not used as a class-book.’’ How, then, can he assert, that its use in such a way is indispensible to the carrying out of Mr. Stow’s system ? I again assert that Mr. Stark never received any intimation from me that the reading of the Bible in our mixed schools should be compulsory. I had no right to give Mr. Stark any instructions on the subject, and be—properly enough—never consulted me in regard to it. He had the law and the rules of the Board of Education for his guidance ; and when he de- parted from the letter and spirit of them both, in declaring that a Bible lesson should be the first exercise of the day at the Normal School, his ‘ injudicious”’ declaration was surely ** unauthorised.”’ Another very palpable misrepresentation,—and, indeed, I might say, an untruth, is conveyed in the following passage of Mr. Stark’s letter :— ** It does seem strange, however, that the Government, after making a rule to exclude the Bible from the Normal School, should print and publish at their own expense the speeches delivered at the opening of that Institution, and allow that ‘injudicious and unauthorised’ sentence to go forth to the world, which, in the altered circumstances of the case, pro- claimed a falsehood.”’ . The Government made no rule of the kind. But the Board share of the offices and honours of the State to those Catholic | of Education, of which Mr. Stark is a member, did make members who so materially helped him to overthrow his ad- ) certain rules, revised by the Government, who authorised the : : : versaries ; and ag there is no common bond of union between them — as old feelings, associations, and ideas, cannot be sud- denly rooted out of men’s minds—as ancient feuds are not casi y forgotten—we cannot believe that a Cabinet composed of Tory Protestants and Catholic Liberals will long hold together. If, the Catholics be kept out of the Government—and Mr. John- ston and his Conservative friends would be only too happy to keep them out — his position, in such a case, would be a most unenviable one; and to give a week's purchase for his office, would be a most unwise speculation. We shall give our readers further information on this sub- ject, when further advised ourselves. ARRIVAL OF THE ENGLISH MAIL. Ar a late hour on Friday night the Courier arrived from the Cape with the Foreign, Colonial and British Mails. A LECTURE ON EDUCATION. Mr. Cernas Barker, a Bible Christian Minister, lately arrived in this Island from England — delivered a Lecture on Education at the Temperance Hall, on Friday evening last. The Hall was densely crowded — many persons having been forced to stand in the passage leading to it. For nearly two hours the learned gentleman delighted his audience by a dis- use of the Lord’s prayer instead of the formula prescribed by the Board ; and uss rules were printed as an appendix to the ‘* speeches’’ referred to. The printed rules will not show that the Bible was to be used as a class-book; nor can the Minutes of the Board be adduced as evidence to prove that either Mr. Stark or Mr. Fitzgerald, previous to the present commotion, attempted to lay down a rule for the compulsory reading of the Scriptares. The remark about Mr. Stark’s “‘ injudicious and unauthorised sentence ’’ being permitted, by the Government, to go forth to the world, unchecked, is scarcely worthy of remark. The pamphiet in which the brilliant oration appeared, was printed solely and exclusively under the direction of the Soiree Com- mittee ; and it was hardly to be expected that even one member of the Government should peruse Mr. Stark’s printed oratory with a critical eye, and with a view to detect ‘ injudicious”’ and ‘‘ unauthorised ’’ assertions, after having been compelled to listen to it; and which, there is no doubt, it was not difficult to forget.

Dear Str,—As we are aware that you take a deep interest in giving publicity to anything tending to the advancement of the human race, either social, moral or mental, we send you a sketch of the proceedings of the examination of the Allberry Plain School, which was held on Friday, the 9th day of January, by the trustees.

On behalf of the trustees, Jan. 15, 1857. Cuanes Sapine, NEWS BY THE ENGLISH MAIL. PROBABLE SUBMISSION OF PERSIA. There appears to be some reason for the belief entertained in official circles that the Court of Teheran bas submitted to the demands of the British Government. The Turkish Minister there has sent a despatch to Constantinople to that effect ; and the intelligence has been forwarded to England by Lord Stratford de Redcliffe. It is, therefore, probable that the Persian difficulty will be arranged without further hostilities. We do not believe that the fall of Bushire has had anything to do with the decision at which the Shah of Persia has come; for being perfectly well acquainted with the weakness of that place, he could not have reckoned upon its ability to withstand the assault of a British force. It is strange that the defences at Bushire should have been alto- gether neglected ; but such is the fact. Its situation at the head of a promontory, almost surrounded with shallow water and intricate channels, would have marked it, in the opinion of an engineer, of ordinary discernment, as a place for the con- struction of a stronghold of the first importance; but as these natural advantages have been altogether overlooked or neglected by the Persian Government, the British expedition- ary force had little to do in mastering it. By the erection of batteries on the sea face of the town, and on the neighbour- ing island of Sheik Shaad, an attack from sea might have been made impossible; whilst the constraction of works on the short space across the promontory in the rear of the town would have given an immensity of trouble to the invaders. The wall in the rear of Bushire, however, is described as a pasteboard castle of the Chinese style. The only fortifica- tion worthy of mention was a single bastion, erected under the direction of a French officer in the service of the Shah. Gn the island of Sheik Shaad, which might have been made a most formidable obstacle to any hostile ships approaching the town, no work of defence, or battery of any description, had been erected. We cannot believe, therefore, that it is our success at Bushire that has determined the Shah of Persia to make peace upon our own terms. ‘There is more probability in the rumour that it is Russia that has given pacific advice to the Court of Teheran, from a conviction that the British expedition would have established itself in a position very in- urious to the objects of her own ambition. Without attaching oo much importance to Russian movements in that part of the world, we do not overlook the significance of the words of the First Napoleon, who said, “ Above all Powers, Russia is to be feared, especially by you (the English.) When Paul was so violent against you, he sent to me for a plan to invade India. [ sent one, with instructions in detail, From a point in the Caspian Sea, he was to have marched on India.” Now we know that the Russian flotilla in the Gas- pian has long been the basis of agyressive advances; none the less aggressive because they have been made silently. Whilst Russia was under the impression that the proceedings of the Shah would not provoke retaliation, the Shah was encouraged to goon. The British Government has manifested the reality of its anger, and the Shah is recommended to draw back. Russian statesmen have a very proper fear of Palmerston. PRUSSIA. Private Unperstannine witu France ror Serrie THE Nevurcnaret Arrain.—The Prussian Government, if we may credit the Nationa? Gazette of Berlin, bas it in contemplation to come to an understanding in a private manner with France on the negotiations for the definitive settlement of the Neuf- chatel affair. It has communicated confidentially to the French Government, the rumour goes, the conditions on which the King of Prussia would renounce the sovereignty of that canton. He will reserve to himself the right of property over the domains and chateaux which were not appropriated to public purposes before 1848. It will not be admitted that these shall be the property of the State, and in fact, since 1848, the Prussian Government has protested against the sale of a certain part of this property, for which it will demand an indemnity. The renunciation of the sovereignty by the King will not, however, do away with this title of Prince de Neufchatel. Lastly, it would appear that his Majesty is desirous, as was before mentioned, of retaining a protection over several charitable foundations. It is thought that the Conferences will take place in the middle of February. “It is besides positively stated,” adds the National Gazette, “ that the diplomatic relations between Prussia and Switzerland will be speedily resumed, and that France will also become the mediator on this subject.” Caprure or Busuire anp Kannack sy te Eneusn Ex- rEDITION.—We have received from Trieste, by way of Vienna, the following despatch :—Bushire surrendered on the 19th of December, after four hours’ fire from the fleet, without a single casualty.
