SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Our readers aro aware that a Committee of the House of Lor,ls was arpo'n!ed in the last Parliament, " to inquire into ti e progress and operation of the new plan of eiluea tifai in lit 1,,n'•." VSO have the results of the labours of this Comm:it e now befere us, sired we °Leave hills cicco satiet'ectien t! at the testintonice of the lest inrornied and most et.] glitered witnesscs examined concur in stating that' the success of the Fy tern (taking into dote ccroi h ration the titereiole and vast ol;stael-s to its progress) has been protligous. Of the enter prie of the Commissiooers it may truly he said th,:t. it Las been " the pursuit of knowleil,te under tilicul set`. Great meta ;I have been tl.c di it have. met the cisn luctcrs of this tr..ly noble urdcrtal:- l og a t c i e ry s tep.

Their o jeet be jug to est al.Esh rational harmony in the p:a -c wretchad ECCfArlan itehnosiies, sprineing from feelings the most unclaisti n , an f Lading to results the most autissocal, they have had to struggle with all the power and nia'iguity of a faction to which papelar ilivi iemi are life, and the unaitietity of Cethel.ie and Protest tnt would be sentenc oft elm While, however, the c yidence before us illustrates in the amplest tit:tuner the vatinus shapes that Orange op position has assumed in ifs rnileAvours to defeat this panic tv-lietne of pubic instricti,m, (almost the only tritiy nation rl institteioe that Ire'i,nd possesses) it abatinds also, as we 11.. v t said, with numerous and irrgragable proofs of the victories which truth and reason are daily gaining over clamour, prajudice, and felsehood. The national system of education appears to be etca lily and firmly establishine itself in the confidence and affections of the people, whose best interests it is so well adapted to promote. Its advance may even be said to be rapid, when we reflect, not only on the roegliness of the road which it has had to travel, but also on the meagreness of the re sources which it has hitherto been able to command. We cannot, of course, attempt any thing lire a digest of the great mass of vvidence in these volumes ; we shall nweely in this an subsequent articles present our readers with a series of extracs, such as seem best calcu lated to show the degree of success which has attended the undertaking, the n iture of the obstacles which bigotry and fiction have thrown in its way, and the keen appetite for education universally exhibited by the 16,10 people—an appetite which we entteat the publii: to contrast with the violent efforts of the O. anee aristocracy and clergy to re sist its gratification, and thus prolong the reign of igno rance, vice and misery. First, in evidence of the progress of the system and its prospects of ultimate success, we would solicit attention to the luminous statements of Mr. Blake, one of the Commissioners, thoroughly converscnt with the subject in all its details, and a min who has obviously taken large and profound views ' of the general question of popular education. Mr. Blake says, in page seventy-three of the evidence : " The system has been /dread, adopted extensively. We had at the time of our last report about 1,200 schools attended by about 150,000 children. It has been said that the Pro testants of Ireland repudiated us, big the fact is otherwise ; we had in the most Protestant province of Ireland, in Ulster, 450 schools. The number of Protestants and of Roman Ca tholics in 373 of these has been ascertained, and there are, I understand, in them about 14,000 or 15,000 Protestants, and about 22,000 Roman Catholics." Mr. Blake considers that the proportion of Protestant to Catholic children in the national schools of Ulster is as sleigh as the proportion of the Protestant to the Catholic population in the ecclesiastical province of Armagh, accord ing to the returns oft he Commissionersof Public Instruction in 1834. We have thus the clearest indicatioa that can be imagined of the success of the system in one of its most im portant features, that of bringing together and training in habits of early attachment the youth of the two persua. sions ; and we see this success attending it in the very pert of Ireland where the efficient working'of the system upon this principle was most desirable, and is most calculated to do service. The number of Protestant children attendant on the national schools in the other provinces is apparently considerably below what we should, perhaps, at a first view, expect to find it ; but this is most luminously and satisfac torily explained by Mr. Blake. " In Leinster, Munster, and Connaught," he says, " Pro testants are principally to be found amongst the higher and middle classes; there are in general very few Protestants of the class foi which our schools are intended, etc, pt in Dublin and other cities and towns where there are Protestant schools supported by endowments, contributions from the clergy, col lections after sermons, and so forth. The mass of the poor, particularly in the rural districts, is composed of Roman Ca tholics; therefore in these provinces our schools are princi pally composed of them. In Ulster the proportion of Prc teatants to Roman Catholics approximates to what is in the mass of the population ; but in the others it does not ; and the reason is that in Ulster there is an extensive poor Pro testant population, whereas in the other provinces this is not the case." Mr. Blake states what is indeed welrworthy of notice : " The system works more equitably upon the whole than any previous system supported by public grants ever did. The proportion of Protestalite to Catholics in oar schools is nearer the proportion of Proteitants to Catholics in the mass of the population than was the case of any of the pre-existing schools that were supported by public grants — And he adds— " The proportion of Protestants to Roman Catholics in oar schooie is much nearer the proportion of Protestants to Roman Catholics in the mass of the population than was the case in the Kildare-place schools." , It also appears that the new system has the advantage of the old, or Kiidare-pl.tce system, in the absolute number of Protestant children attending the schools. Thus abso lutely, as well as relatively, the superior working of the new plan may be considered as triumphantly established. We shall soon and repeatedly return to the valuable body of evidence before us.—Morning The message of the President to Congress arrived yes terday, and copious and verbose thought it be, there is but a single topic touched upon by the writer to which in the present state of affairs we deem it at all necessary to invite the public attention. That topic is the long post poned and still unsettled question of the north-west boundary of the British province of New Brunswick, %Ton which this country has for years been carrying on a sort of half-slumbering litigation with the Republican State of Maine. Front the tone and spirit of so much of the mess ige now alluded to as is connected with this New Brunswick controversy, it appears natural to predict that it will not be suffered by the present Government of the United States to remain much longer madded. By General Jackson this question had been twice or thrive glanced a', and merely glanced at, in the course of his eight years' administration. It was talked of, but in a very cur,ory and hasty manner, as a point of which the arrangement ought to be provided for at some it:defi nite, perhaps not distant, time ; but was never in any in stance put forward or dwelt upon by that circumspect and expetiNteed politician as one which ought to be forced into immediate discussion, or upon which it was becontiegonueli more necessary, to employ any strong or peremptory lan• guage towards Great Britain. The boundary litigation, as most of our readers are aware, was to be decided by. the construction of a treaty, the treaty of Ghent, itt 1813, which professed to leave the conterminous litni:s of the British province and the State of Maine in a fitir way for amicable adjustment. But the materials for such adjust ment, which had been somewhat loosely and easily assumed front data furnished by old maps or surveys, were fund un• fortunately by more recent and sedulous exatninaf on to bare in the geoerephicai feature of the country eithera very doubt ful existeece, or none at all. Engineer,: on both sides w ere ap pointed to make trigonometrical surveys of the whole district witch ha 1 heenclainied by either party—men of high cha racter for ,cience and integrity. But th y could come to no satisfactory nereement as to the tree line of demarca tion ilitendiel by the negotiators of the definitive treaty. A chein df highlands, refiercd to very positively, could no where he docovered. The whole question was thee, undar the fereign Ministry of Lord Aberdeen, and with the con currence of the Unite.' State,, referred to the arbitration of ti e King of Holland. His Majesty, about the year 1831 or 15;32, prasented as Ii s decision a line of boundary wh'elt was a nted;us icrininits betecen Great B-itain and the United Stitteo transferring to the latter a considerable portion of the territory theretofore occupied an:l ruled over by the Klee. of England, but abridging likewise the pretensions of' the State of M tine, by preserving to this country a broader stripe of I and, in the neighbouruood of the Saittt Lawrence, than would have been allowed by our Republican eompetitote, and, therefore, with betiding from them that elnelt it is not uncharitable to sup pose may has a constituted the chief value of their de; sired otter -aeliment—viz., a great and es-ential fat i'ity in vexing and embarrassing, :Is occa inn right prompt, our ti ilit try. ter comm reiel conimenicatione, ,dues that riser. With the judenteet of the King of Holland, which curtailed the II 11.1S:4.11):1,4 of both parties, both declared theinselvee ilvelar,&on hereafter they may each alike repent. Front that day to the pre sent there has, we . believe, not been any fnrtber step taken to wards an adjustment ; at least no official correspondence between the Government.; has yet been laid before Par liament here, or before Congreas on the other side of the Atlantic-. It will not be denied that this is a state of things fraught is ith uneatieess, and with the seeds of mia chief, We do not venture to pronounce who, according to the letter of treaties, may be right or wrong ; although as to the bout: fide understanding and intent of the British negotiators in 1815, it must be obvious that no Engli,h matt in Itia senses could knowingly have set his hand to an instrument which would justify any foreign power in seizing, ft r the first time since the original settle ment of North America, an extensive line of country, running from north-cast to south-west for upwards of an tundred miles, and on many points of the same course withia less than ten miles of the St. Lawrence ; command irg therefore, it may he said with truth, the navigation 01 that vita) river, and cutting off altogether the ordinary Lind communicatien of St. John's and Prederickton, that is e) Great Britiin with Quebec, the mater-key to both tlt Cat ml s. We fear it must. be inferred, by any irapartiel reveler of the Presid. nt's Message of' sih inst. the re way have existed somewhere an active coasc'ousee , at . the perplexing state of things which our blessed Knis tors have, by i.e-picable indir set ness and incoesistency, the icsult of the meanest . and mo:it selfish cowardice, contrived bring about he:wce.t this country an f her subjects in Lower Canada. Such a moment might - possibly appear the mist conveident and seasonable for pressing a prepo: Non which in less unto .eard circumstanees for Eighind would have been allowed to slumber on. We neverehelees' agree in many sentiments expressed by Mr. Van Buren, who it must be admitted, abstains fi-oin every, even the slightest approach to unfriendly. much les; offensive language, unfittiez the general pre , e.- 1, rice of those ande.iltle and kindly dispos:fons whit h he declares to exist hetween the two Governments, and in a eroater degree than at any former period between the tao consanguineous nations. We fully coincide with the Pre sident in regretting that the above irrita'ing question has bisen left open a great steal too long, anal with General Jackson, his respected predecessor, in the anxiety which he manifested to have some conventional line of houadary ngcesi on between the two Governments, failing that other lice, ascertained, as it would seem, to be undiscaverable Ly any re:"ereace to a common usage, to acknowledged I ind anarks, or to the texts of treaties. In the mean time every one must be alive to the fact that however distinct in prin ciple and origin are the two'qtrestions of a territorial con troversy with the United States, and a political strife with the disaffected of Lower Canada, they are closely allied in those considerations and results which affect the general saeuri;y and power of-Great Britain throughout the whole of North America. That continent being the . portion 'of the world which has long pre.,ented the most urgent ;poen& of soli citude and apprehension to a British Government, it wits the business of a Ministry true to the honour and welfare of their Sovereign, to have provided vigorously and inde fatigably against the explosion there of danger or disaster, from whatsoever source. The same demonstrations of timely foresight and sagacity which would have deterred a band of domestic traitors front rebellion would also have in culcated a wise respect for Great Britain upon those whose allegiance she cahnot any longer claim. Both duties, how ever, have been discharged with equal punctuality, for both have been alike neglected. The whole of our North Arne . 'kart possessions, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, no less than the Canadas, are at this moment, and have been for the last year, so full of menace, intrusted to the guar dianship of less than 3,000 troops ! What an admirable Govenament !—Times. The cause of cis i! and religious liberty was successively, on Monday and Tuesday night, maintained by Lord Brougham in the House of Lords, on the motion for going into Committee on the Municipal Officers' Declaration Bill, and on bringing up the Repo: t. His Lordship's pro test against it will be found elsewhere. The discussion both nights presented some curious features. The amendment which Lord Brougham proposed was for including Jews, as well as Moravians, Quakers, and Separatists, in the pro visions of the Bill which perinits their declarations to ha taken on their appointment to Mnnicipal offices, instead of oaths. Lord Brougham happily - ridiculed the " bit and bit" legislation and contradictory clauses, by which the mea sure of religious liberty is dealt out to such British subjects as are conscientiously opposed to the tenets of the Established Church. The::: is no earthly reason why the Jews should not be equally privileged to make their declaration as the other sects indulgedin by the Bill ; but the Bisliopof London letout the secret. The persecuting spirit of the Church mustbe re tained as a bonne bouche. The privilege is denied to those who are not Christians, but not to those who acknowledge Christianity, although they may differ from the Church. The moral brand and burning faggot of persecution cannot be given up. It was gratifying after this now cru sade against infidelity by the Right Rev. Father in God to find a Noble Tory (the Marquis of Bute) concurring with Lord Brougham in the honest expression of his belief that " the Bill did not go far enough, anti that it ought equally to embrace Jews as well as the Dissenting sects of Christi anity." This is a gratifying testimony that liberal opinion is making some progress where obstruction is most ex pected ; and that the great tide of improvement is break ing through the artificial bariers of aristocratical exclu siveness. No human authority is competent to inquire into the religious belief of any subject of the c'tate. The State is not constituted for the propagation of this or that form of religion, but for the security of persons and of property. To affect patronage of Christianity, and to shew it by persecution, is as ridiculous as it is injurious to it. If it be true, it does not want human violence to maintain its truth. _Those who invoke the aid of force only parade their own internal atheism, and dis play their covert disbelief in the self-sustaining divinity of the creed they overtly avow. The Church, in excluding the Jews from civil offices, in reality attacks its own friends. Its bigoted exclusiveness has indeed always been suicid..l to its own interests. The Jews are as firm friends to the Church of England Establishment (paradoxical as it may seem) as any subjects of the realm. In saying this we are only expressing a known declaration of some of the most eminent of the Jewish persuasion. They are favourable to the Establishment as one of the elements of social onler. The idea of injuring Christianity, the reli gion of troth and justice, by do;ri f s justice to the Jews, is a strange proposition. , The Hebrew persuasion neither encourages proselytism with regard to others, nor at tracts it with regard to itself. It is for that especial. reason the least dangerous of all the opponents of the Cliiirsh Establishment. Finally, if it be absurd to admit a Hebrew Sheriff, while we exclude a Helirew Member of Parliament, it is a fortio i still more absurd to exclude Hebrews from the lower municipal offices, while we admit them to the highest. In such a mass of absurdity does a false system involve all those who allow themselves to be entrapped within its labyrinth. The Bill for relieving the consciences of Quakers, Moravians, and Sepataratists has passed its third reading. We presume another Bill must now be brought in to relieve the consciences of our Hebrew fellow-subjects. The whole affair, from the begin ning to the end—whether as regards our notions of' social economy', of religion, or of legislation—is equally ridiculous, and deserves the caustic satire of a Juvenal, a Swift, or a Voltaire. First, the Church militant, in the pug n icious confidi nee of its strength, knocks down its friends. Next, society " cuts off its own nose," , as the phrase i 4, "to spite its face," by excluding its most efficient members from doing that service to it which they wish to do, and which they arc competent to perform. Finally, see what a specimen of Laputun legi - lation we exhibit in t' is tratisaction. On this head we may conclude pith quoting the biting sarcasm of Lord Brougham. " First, parties were allowed to break laws, then there were Indemnity Bills to protect them. In this Bill the •e was .a certain degrte of toleration to break ex isting law." But then it can only be broken to a certain extent. Est modus in rebus. People must keep time in doing it, a 4 swift once said, like burglars and [multi ins. Again ; there nre laves requi.ing men to take certain offices, on pain of beiag subjee:esl to certain pm tities ; then there are laws precluding them from certain offices, and sub jecting them to penalties if they take them. Surely at this time of day it is neither cisc yes creditable to go on with this botching and tinkering legislation.—.3lorning Advertiser. We observe, fro:n time to time, in the O'Connell news papers Cie tuts'. ou!rageous t.onsense about the last Long ford E:ection Committee. That Committee undid the work of the Itomacist conspirators. who have put a person of conild.erable property, named Wa.ite, into the House of Commons. The outrageous nonsen•e to which we allude consists its the adrumption that the Committee disallowed votes whieh arc tnyv notoriously good votes. There is undoubtedly s';rne boldness in this lying, for of all the ex hihitions we ever itnersed of dewnright impudent fraud, supported by no less impudent false swearing, that of the had votes by which Mr. White was returned to the last Pa-livment was, the most mohstrous. Far be it from us to afil.m that Committees of the House of Commons are good Judges of evidence, or always dee:de upon evi dence a-, they would do if there were no party fe:-I ing in the case ; but, with regard to the spurious vot,-:s examined into by the last Longford Election Committee, and disallowed, there could be no second opinion by as body who witnessed the investiga tion. There was no room for doubt. Cases of more rank imposture never employed the attention or excited the dis gust of any set of Judges or of Jurymen, regular or irre gular. 'rho public have a great fa,eility of forgetting ; thereore it may be necessary to remind our rultitgs that the Lou'ford Committee, through o%ertight, omitted to vee so've ti.at the vot s proved to be bad should he struck off the register. This was discos ercti after the report was completed, and an atterup' was made to obtain tl , 6 l chve of the House to amend the Report, but it was unsaccebilitl i In the house the question, which ought to have heal one of mere form, was made cne of party and it being the in terest of the Romania party that the bad votes should re main on the register for ai future occasion, the virtuctti Ministerialists of course protected that interest. The votes proved to be bad were left upon the register, in order that ascertained fraud, though betilked for one turn, might not he prevented from exerting it; infientte at the next election upon the constitution of the Imperial be, gislature. These votes which in the last Parliament were found fraudulent, have been used in constituting • the pre sent Parliament. The Romanist hacks ignorantly allude to these as re-registered vote. The votes never were un registered. We mean by " votes" the reeosd of the right to vote in the county register. The votes were stiMeli crow the poll-book, but not from the register. Something THE SUN-, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1 37. o' an inv -ation to the -Tory party to contest t ese vole; over agda in the Registration Court is I el nd. We suppose this to be -a fahrie'ation, because we do not see how vc.tes which are upon the register could be thus c, nested under the provisions of the I , sh Reform Act. The Ir:sh Act is this respeA d fferent from the Eng:ish. Suuns' z ig, Lowe er, tist.t s telt a rep'ated invest :060n ere with n the Ludt of le_4al pos.si.nl ty. what it avail ? Tne same intr. pidity of sts caring wit:eh sufficed io the Reg . stration Court to lut the fraudulent votes upon the re i ;isteclvould, in the same Court. suffice to keep theta there. In such a district. as Long'ord, where the con s,•iences of the people. are in the keeping of the Romanist conspirators, under the much-abused name of Catholic Illiests, the crieltnee wlich depends upon swearing is no thing better than S frightful mockery. The sixteenth canon of the Council of Lateran says that " oaths arc cot to be esteemed filch, which are adverse to the interests of :Le Church." The oaths which men take iu the Reglsra tion Court are to tell tlie truth as to the nature of their quallicafon for voting. But to tell truth in this case would be, as the Roatani,t conspirators teach, " adver s e to the int, rest of the Church ; therefore, the oaths are not est.,etned as such, and the untruth, although givAi (ac cording to British law)upon oath, is (according to Roinatist dogma) no more than a simple ordinary lie, which are set tled for by the bus :el-full on going to confession half yearly, and paying the sum or eighteenpener., be the seine more or less. Let us hear no more of the nonsense about challenging tho/I'uii s to investigation in the Registration Courts of the Romanist districts in Ireland. In t.:.ese‘ Courts the Romanist conspirators make the witnesses, and of late they have made the Judges too, for the " Assistant B.,rristers" who pres:de in these Courts are nornin.,ted by the Government, and the Government is that of Daniel O'Connell.—Mori.i.qg Post. The news tom Caned t, which we published in a second edition yesterday, went to show, we are sorry to say, that the insurrection is spreaeine, and has already assumed a formidable appeerence. The fighting that had taken place between the Brltish detechments under Colonels Gore and Wetherell,- at St. Denis and St. Charles, is admitted to have been very fierce awl bloody. We have no doubt that in both instailees, though we could wish it othereise, the loss of the British troops has been much greater than what is stated in the Government press. If Colonel Gore bad lost so few men at St. Denis, as the Government accounts assert, the enemy, who poured their fire upon them arum loop-hele.l walls and houses, must have been miserable merksinen, or so alarmed at the sound of their own musketry, as to point - at anything but their assailants. If that were so, why di.i Colonel Gore and his divi sion retreat, leaving two pieces of artillery behind them ? Why' was it necessary to send out some more corn penies with artillery from Sorel, to cover their retreat ? And why did they make no further attempt to dislodge the enemy from St. Dsnis? In the commencement of an insurrection, when a tumultuary horde like that which usually constitutes a rebel force taking the field for the first time, not only stands the file of regular troops. but com pels them to retreat, the moral effect in giving confidence mid strength to the rebel cause, is incalculable. A judi cious blow, effectually struck by the governing power at the beginning of a rebellion is worth twenty struck afterwards —while the disastrous consequences of. an abortive attempt to crush the rebellion extend fai beyond what can be esti mated by the actual loss in battle. It was so doubt with the intention of crushing the rebellion in the outset that the late expeditious along the banks of the Richelieu river were un dertaken—the one from Sorel upon St. Denis—the other from . Chambly upon St. Charles. The plan of attacking the enemy in their two principal positions before they were prepared to undertake offensive operations, by directing against them separate divisions of troops, which from two opposite points were to fall rapidly upon them by combined flank movements, appears to hive been in itself a judicious one. Its success would, probably, have struck a fatal blow to the incipient rebellion ; but its failure—for a failure it most certainly has been, whether from want of sufficient force or want of skill, we know not—has, we fear, given a confidence to the insurrectionary cause, which will greatly augment its force and embolden its operations. Let us give our reasons for saying why we think the plan which was to have been executed by the troops under the com mand of Colouels Gore and Wetherell was a - failure. It appears, from the accounts which we have published, that Colonel Gore set out from Sorel to attack St. Donis at the same time that Colonel Wetherell marched from Chambly to attack St. Charles, which was on the night of Wednesday, the 22d instant. The unfortunate Lieu tenant Weir, who was afterwards taken by the rebels, and said to have been put to death, was the bearer Of the orders fsom Sorel to Colonel Wetherell at Chambly, upon which he acted in endeavouring to carry into effect his part of the concerted movement. It was obviously intended that these two divisions, setting out under cover of the night and marching rapidly from oppo site directions upon the two strongholds of the rebels,• should put the enemy as we have said, between two fires, and exterminate or disperse the insurgent force in St. Denis and St. Charles, which are but a few miles apart. Of these two places Denis lies nearer to Sorel, and St. Charles to Caembly. It is ed eitted that the attack upon St. Denis ended, after severe fighting, in the repulse and retreat of the British troops ; but is also said by the Go vernment journals, and the evening organ of the Ministry officially announced that alleged fact last night, that Colonel Wes' esti s attack upon St. Charles was com pletely successful, and that the loss of the enemy was very great. As the Government paper did not publish the despatches themselves, we have not had the opportunity of examining their contents and seeing how far they bear out that statement of 't complete success." There are undisputed facts, however, from which inferences may be drawn tending to throw light on the real state of the case. It is admitted, for instance, tint Colonel Wetherell, soon after whnt is said to be his complete success at St. Charles, was at Ronvide, which is six or seven mites nearer to Cliambly, and to Montreal than St. Charles is, and that he afterwards drew back to Chambly, having had an affair with a body of the rebels, 1,000 strong, on his way. Ac cording to some accounts, be had actually retreated to Montreal, but the official statement as described, not given in the Globe, left him at Chambly. Let us take it so. Noss, supposing that Colonel Wetherell had been cam pletely successful at St. Charles, he must have taken the lea, and the rebels, wlea had taken up a position there, must have been destroyed, or taken, or dispersed. if the place was worth tieing it was worth keeping possessiou of—but how are we surprised to find that, immediately after what is called the complete success of the British troops at St. Charles, the victor eva cuates the fort, and the beaten rebels are once more in postessioe of it, while Colonel Wetherell, instead of ad vancing to fallew up his blow, by attackine St. Denis with his victorious troops, and repairing the disaster which the British arms had sustained at that place, retrogrades to Itonville and subsequently to Chambly, thereby making it necessary to perform the same expedition over again, if it be of importan,e to the loyal cause that the rebels should be dislodged fr, , m St. Cherles, where, by the latest ac counts, they were still assembled in great force, that place being only about 35 milss from Montreal, where it appears an attack by the insurgents was daily apprehended ; but a e pregame they would prefer attempting the reduction of the city by blockade, while winter renders the St. Lawrence inaccessible to succours from the sea. It would seem also that Colonel Wetherell's retrograde mermen:, was not made too soon ; for, es lie had a collision with the rebels on his w..y back to Cliambly, it is clear that a body of the insurgents had throe n themselves in his rear—tit it is, his rear wllle his face was nowards St. Charles ; but in his front as he counter-marched to Chainbly. This fact shows that the rebels in that quarter are very numerous as well as d wing.; and it alste.accennts for the delay whielt occurred in re ceiving di p itchrs at Montreal, (rem Col. Wether..ll, snitch lel at f;rst to run,ours of a greater disaster th in we mire ;Lad to feel has t:. ;en p!tece. The truth seems to bs that Colonel Wetherell at first gained advantages at St. Charles, which, in consequence of reinforcemeets received try the reb_ls, he was hot able to follow up, either by deztroying ter d'spersaig the enemy at that place, or by proceeding onwards to St. Denis to retrieve the cen s-quences of the &feet whieb Cul.

Arc we not justified in looking with suspicion and 'listrust upon even what are called the official statements of government, %then we recollect what a false itnpres sian has been tuade through the same channel as to the actual strength of the Pepineeu faction, which has been incompetent to cope with th e by force, and when we remember also that Si r r 6 P oi r t e L n in te e ' n l t George Grey, last as rieiculoutely Friday night, in th e f ace o f the House of Commons and the public, and in unblush'ng emit. ad.e tien of ti.e published tweeemts of battle and bloodshed, eith the defeat of at least °tie divi.lun of the Qesiett's troops,(:ca ion, lia l d vi t li l i t e e li t e o rd it il i to j o 4 d ;in o i t - o th s : i f i oll d v e s n t i o ed ass t e h r a t t l;: t s ,r di: l % , e . - e. el th a t a single Bri:iik soldier - had fall en tOn that o M:nist. rs h td, up to that time, rem:4;4 any o ffi c i a l information of the bseaking out of the rebellioa— a fact trestle known, through the columns of this journal, five days heloeeeeshe was obliged to admit that despatches had been sent house by lerd ford, at various times, since the communication of the Parii4mentary resolatiohs :tied the stoppage of the sup plies, which ought to have feseeiesned the M Misters th a t a rebellion was preparing.

Fax told Ler 1 North, when, during the American war, he excused himself from not taking some necessary step, upon the around of ignorance as to the real state of facts, that " ignorance in a Minister was a crime of the first magni tude." If Lord Palm..r.iton had sent the Royal Marines and Royal Artilicry to Canada, instead of miking British warfare contemptible uron the coast of Cantabri a, by his non-intervention expeditions, r, hellion might have been crushed at the moment it showed its head, and the militury fore of Eogland would not have b. ca dishonoured in the ey,:s of Europe.--Alforhing 1117rahl.

TOM SHUFFLETON.—Mr. Liddell figures before the public this week—we cannot say she the character o f a correspondent with the Sunderland Board of Guardians, anent the alleged destitution of innocents anti the " dark rumours" of 'murders most foul" of prattling babes by unnatural mothers- He shifts the pretended events to which his accusation referred from 1837 back to 1834—which we take to be an admirable exemplification of his capacity for shuffling. We doubt whether Lord De Roos could have excelled it. But as the Board cf Guardians have declared their approbation of the mid adopted at the last-mentioned period, and many of them were members of Parochial Vestries to whorl Mr. Liddell has transferred the ignominious charge, it follows that the ingenious gentleman has only leapt out of the frying -pan into the fire. Even in this view of the matter, the insult to the former admi nistrators of the Poor-law is not less flagrant—the imputation on the character of the town of Sunderland is not less g ross and outrageous—than that which Mr. Liddell has been truly reported to have cast upon both in the manner which it has " pleased" him to deny. But setting this part of the transac t on aside, the guardians pin their slippery corrtspondent to the " dark rumours," and seem resolved to allow him no q_iar ter as regards these. A n d h ere aga i n our " esteemed and cs cellent friend" appears in his native colours. It would bardif be credible, did not the fact appear on unexceptionable *tab& rity, that though a fortnight has elapsed since the Guardian s called upon him for such a full and absolute withdrawal o f that part of the calumny as should satisfy the libelled parties--th e • Board of GuardianA, the inhabit an t s o f t h e B orough, a nd tb: demands of justi ce —h e had not, u p to yester d ay, condescen d! to take any further notice of their remonstrance ! But •Liddell's affection for silence conies too late. Ila%ing spoke n to vilify, h e must speak to atone.—Durham Chronicle. ------- •T. COX SAVORY, GoldsmiLb, &c., 47.
