The old province of Lower Canada heretofore made in this direction efforts which were attended with marked success ; and with a reasonable anxiety to leave no room for our people to envy another, the Government of the province of Canada lately caused examination to be made in Europe of the various systems of educa tion there maintained, and of the literary and s:ien title institutions of the old world, with the view to the engrafting upon our own system whatever might be seen to be warming to it. This m :st iinvorta at subject will receive, without delay, the uttrost at tention of the Government. Occupying an im portant geographical po-ition in the Confede ration, comprising within her limits the two oldest and most populous cities of British America, peopled by the desceodants of the two foremost nations of Europe, having in the noble sacrifices long since made upon her soil for the esta blishment of Christianity and civilisation, and even in the very struggle of our French and English an cestors, a past of which she may well be proud, thin province cannot fail to enjoy a future of well-being if her people continue to develope in peace and har mony the germs of prosperity which are At their diSposal. Ido not doubt but that your Nitd.om. and Icur, love for .our common country wtll,lstigges . to you the means of so doing. Canadian by birth, having borne part in the deliberations and labours of former legislatures and governments, I do not need to say to you how entirely the high trust com mitted to you commands my respect and sympathy. I pray that Divine Providence may deign to bless your labours and to pour on you and yours all its favours for the new year which is about to open, and during which we are to lay the foundation of the greatness and prosperity of this our province of Quebec, so dear to all of us.

Sac e Daunt's Rock has certainly much to answer for, and now shares the lot of every creature which gets a bad name, and may have more crimes laid to its account than it actually commits. The last charge brought against it is that it did on a certain night, to wit, Sunday, the 12ttkinst., aid and abet in the destruction of the valuable ship Chicago, thereby endangering the lives of GO passengers, and a nume rous crew, involving the possible loss of specie and cargo to a fabulous amount, and divers other terrible consequences. The grounds on which it is sought to convict the rock as an accessory before the fact are the following reported facts : The Chicago was a brig rigged screw steamer, 2,0 00 tons register, and was comparatively under the command new, having of Captain only left the builders' hands about a year since, and had in her brief career acquired the reputation of swiftness. She left New York on Thursday, the 2d inst., with a general cargo, chiefly wheat and cotton, valued at £150,000, and had made a splendid run until she approached the Irish coast, which was sighted on Sunday morn ing, about half-past 10 o'clock. At the rate of speed at which she was then going it was calculated that about noon she passed the Fastnet, where there is a telegraph station to notify the arrival of home ward bound steamers. A thick fog, however, had meanwhile overspread the sea, and the land could not then be seen. The vessel passed on unobserved with the utmost caution, 100k -out men having been stationed in the bow, while the captain and second officer took their places on the bridge, and the speed was slackened from seven to two knots an hour. At this snail's pace she crept along the coast, and about half-past 4 o'clock sighted the Old Head of Kinsale. The shades of evening were then falling fast; the fog had become more dense, and the captain, not venturing to steer direct for the harbour, as he would have done, deemed it necessary to keep to the eastward, to avoid Daunt's Rock. Timidly and warily she moved along, feeling her way at almost every step, taking soundings every quarter of an hour where tt3c depth waa not great, and in deep water every half hour. The captain aimed at reaching ltoche's Point by a semi-circular route from Kinsale, and at half past five o'clock, when he supposed that he was off the harbour, stopped the steamer. Signals were made for a tender, but there was no response, and then, after consulting with his officers, the captain ap prehended that he had gone too far eastward, and the vessel was again set in motion, the semi - circular course being reversed. In the thick fog, however, the harbour light was not discernible, and the result unfortunately proved that instead of going to the south of Roche's Point, as was intended, the vessel was moving straight upon the coast between that point and Power Head. This is a shore fraught with danger,as the disastrous fate of the Ibis, lost a few years ago, has painfully impressed upon the memory. The precautions were observed with still more anxious care, as the fog still increased and night wore on. At a quarter to six o'clock it was found that the depth was 25 fathoms. Iu ten minutes afterwards th e soun di ng was 15 fathoms, and scarcely had the f ac t b een re p o rted when a cry was heard of " land ah ea d . " Th e captain, who was still at his post, observed the surf denoting sunken rocks, and instantly gave the order to reverse engines full speed, but before the motion of the steamer could be counteracted she struck, though not vio lently then. When the reverse action took effect she struck again very heavily, every timber quivering with the shock, and alarm seizing all on board. It was soon found that the rock had pierced the vessel ; the water rushed through a deep gash into the engine -room and extinguished the furnaces. Find ing that the ill fated steamer was as it were impaled on the sharp reef, and that there was no chance of getting her off, the captain, with commendable presence of mind, directed all his energies to the best means of saving the passengers and the crew. There was no excitement or confusion, but admir able discipline was observed, and confidence was re posed in his coolness and judgment. A lifeboat having been launched and manned by four of the crew, under the control of Mr. Clifford, the second officer, and eight women, cabin passengers, were placed in it, and brought safely to land. The fe male steerage passengers, numbering about 30, were next conveyed ashore in other boats. All the other souls on board, to the number of 130 altogether, including passengers and crew, were landed in like manner, and obtained shelter in some little cabins that ate scattered about the coast. At seven o'clock the Coastguard men of the Power Head station arrived with a rocket apparatus, by which commu nication was established with the Ship, and the trans mission of luggage greatly facilitated. After some difficulty the Roche's Point telegraph station was reached by the second ofEcor, and a telegram for warded to the agents of the company in Q ueens t own , u l g l L o o ' r c d l o'clock, kl ye, which reached , and immediately Clyde, d w es hi p c a h te t h h e e reached despatched she th the wreck at midnight, but could rend er no serv i ce , ste am a tt as the passengers and crew bad been provided for. By order of Admiral Buckle, a detachment of 50 marines was despatched from the Mersey flagship by Captain Moresby, R.N., to protect the cargo in the event of its being washed ashore, Lord Fermoy, on hearing of the disaster, generously sent convey ances, and had the cabin passengers removed to his residence at Trabolgan. The reef on which the ves sel struck extends 100 ft into the sea south of the mainland, and is 30ft. wide. It is called the Cor rigles. At low water it is quite dry, but has 15 fathoms of water on each side. Arrangements were at once made for removing the cargo, and some hopes were entertained of getting the steamer off when lightened, the position being comparatively safe so long as the wind blows from shore., About £50,000 in specie was brought to land and conveyed to Queenstown under escort of Marines. If , the wind veer round, the steamer will, it is feared, go to pieces, and there is also danger of her parting amidships. Great numbers of people have visited the scene. The passengers gratefully acknowledge the hospitality which they received from the inha bitants of the little hamlet on the coast. They have since been forwarded to their respective desti nations. The demonbtrations of loyalty on the part of Irish residents iu England, in answer to Mr, Digby Sey. m our's appeal, are observed by the well affected classes here with considerable interest. The Daily Express strongly advocates their extension to this country, and points out the advantage which they would confer. Referring to the enrolment of special constables, the Express observes :—",,We do not think any declaration would be of much importance in this country,but the method adopted by the London Irish Volunteers is an example well worth considering. It has been continually asserted—it is daily repeated in the Continental and Americ tn papers—that the Irish are all hostile to British rule. This impudent mis-statement somewhat refuted when Europe beheld ps last year meeting Fenianistn with a force exclusively drawn from the humblest classes of Irish men, many of them members of the popular cr, el. But this might not be an inopi-ortune moment to attempt further to dispel this mischievous delusion. The swearing in of special constables in the various parts of the country would show at once how large a class of Irishmen of all creeds and parties felt their interests involved in the suppression of this conspiracy. The preamble of the act empowering the appointment of special constables no doubt as sumes that the force of constabulary is not suffi cient to protect the law when special constables are necessary. The public at present feels the most complete confidence, both in the disposition and the numbers of our police and military ; but no can provide against the possibility of out. rages such as the Fenians have been continually perpetrating., Though there may not be any urgent necessity for appealing to the order-loving portion of the community to come forward to ren ' der actual personal aid, there is no doubt that such an organisation might prove most effective in the additional forces which it would place at the com mand of the authorities. The state of things here is quite sufficient to bring us within the provisions think fit. And po of intthiengAscpte,caianldcotnostjaubsltesifyif the magistracy in ap when we consider the enormous moral effect which such a movement would have here on the disaf fected portion of our population„ and in England, in showing that Ireland was not dependent merely on the police and the military, but had a loyal, law-abiding population of its own, the advantage of supporting it is at once apparent. The Queen's enemies in America would be obliged to recognise met wt ha the certain fact amountif their o f proceedings in Ireland, they were odious to a large mass countenance had d of the people. Then it would become clear that the Fenian filibusters were not champions of an op pressed nationality, but mischievous intruders into Irish affairs—that the result of their success would be, not to establish a war between Ireland and England, but a civil conflict between the dupes in this country an 3 the flower of the Irish nation. Against them would be arrayed all the intelligence, all the orderly, hard-working, respectable portion of the people—all, in fact, of that section of the com munity which goes to make up the character of a nation, and give it stability. We are quite sure that our Roman Catholic countrymen would not be behind their Protestant neighbours in undertaking this movement. But we would suggest that this measure should be at once considered by the magis trates and the authorities at the Castle. Any two justices are authorised to call a special sessions for the purpose of swearing in special constables. Let these sessions be at once announced, and in a few weeks we shall have a volunteer body of Irishmen which shall exhibit to the world the contemptible insignificance of the numbers of the conspirators, and the spirit which they have evoked." OPENING OF THE LOCAL LEGISLA- TURES IN CANADA. The local Legislature of Quebec was opened on the 28th ult., by his Excellency Sir N. F. Belleau, with the following speech : Honourable Gentlemen of the Legislative Coun cil—Gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly,—lt is with much pleasure that I bid you welcome to the ancient city of Quebec on the occasion of this first meeting of our Provincial Legislature. The lately adjourned session of the Federal Parliament has been of happy omen for the new constitution of Canada ; and I cannot, I am sure, be wrong in expressing the trust that the sentiments of fidelity to our gracious Sovereign, of attachment to the institutions of the British Empire, and of devo tion to the interests of our Confederation, which there displayed themselves, will equally cha racterise this first session of our Legislature. The Constitution has entrusted to you im portant interests and grave duties in respect of the administration of justice, of public education, of the machinery of our civil and muni cipal system, of our public charities, of the encouragement of science, letters, and the arts, of the improvement of the public domain, comprising as this does our vast forests and our mineral wealth, of the development generally of our resources, of immigration, colonization, police—in a word, of all that appertains to the civil law and to the rights of property. It has, at the same time, provided that these interests should be placed under the safeguard of the principles of the British Constitution ; and, and, therefore, on my acceptance of the task of pre siding over the Government of the province of Quebec, I lost no time in calling to my aid advisers responsible to the people, and in assigning to them their several departments of administration. The organization of these departments has been earnestly proceeded with, that the interests confided to their charge might not suffer from any too long interrup tion of the work of Government, and, at the same time, with economy, as well in regard to the num ber of functionaries employed as to the amount of emoluments provisionally accorded to them. Gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly—Al though certain stated sources of revenue are assigned to the Province by the Constitutional Acts, the yearly amount which you will have at your disposal, without recourse to further taxation, will be satis factorily established only after the arbitration rela tive to the finances of the late Province of Upper and Lower Canada, which is provided for by the 142 d section of the lace act. Under these circum stances it would not be prudent to submit to the Legislature any measure of importance which should involve considerable expenditure. But as, on the other hand, the people of the province could not willingly suffer any even temporary sacrifice of the interests of public education, colonisation, or the public charities,votes will be asked from you for these ends, as well as for the civil service generally, and for the covering the outlay already incurred in the establishment, organisation, and carrying on of the Government. Honourable Gentlemen of the Legislative Coun cil,—Gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly, Measures will be submitted to you for the organis ation of the departments of the administration, the interpretation of the statutes, and the audit of the public accounts. Your attention will also be called to the best means of developing colonisation, and stimulating the zeal of municipalities and voluntary associations in behalf of this great public object, so important at once with a view to the interests of this province within the Confederation, and to those of Canada herself, upon this continent. You will doubtles feel that ono means of increasing our po pulation must be that of drawing hither and retain ing among us the emigration of the British islands and of the continent of Europe, at the same time that we are further facilitating the settlement of our own people upon the public lauds. The further improvement of our agriculture, and the more systematic and prudent manage ment of the forests and mines, are also objects de manding the earnest attention of the Government and of the Legislature. The advancement of public education and the encouragement of science, letters, and the arts, are not only in our day a means of developing the prosperity of t people, but even next Gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly, —In ac cordance with the provisions of a statute of the Imperial Parliament for the Federal Union of the British North American Provinces, and for the erection of separate local governments in the pro vinces of Ontario and Quebec, I have been deputed in the name of her Majeelar the Queen to open the first session of the Legislature of Ontario. I re joice at the opportunity which has been thus afforded to me of welcoming the representatives of the people in this city, so long known as the capital of Upper Canada. This day is the commencement of a new and important era in our political annals. We are met together under the authority of the British Crown, to enter upon a more extended application than we have hitherto enjoyed of the principle of local self-government. For years past it has been the aim and effort of Upper Canada to secure a more direct and unlimited control over her own local affairs than was attainable whilst in legislative alliance with another province. Sensible of the many advantages which have accrued to both sections from this union, since its accomplishment in the year 1851, the people of Western Canada have, nevertheless, desired a wider and more elastic governmental system, which, while it should strengthen and consolidate British dominion on this continent, should also afford larger opportunities for their own particular growth and expansion. This object we have now obtained through the beneficent interposition of the mother country. The provi sion for the future government of this province is, in one respect, peculiar and exceptional. It confers upon you, gentlemen, the exclusive pri vilege of framing laws in relation to matters within your jurisdiction, unaided and - uncheokod by the supervisory control of another Chamber. It remains for you to justify, by your wisdom, moderation, and forethought the confidence so freely reposed in you by the Imperial Govern ment. You begin your legislative labours with resources at your disposal large enough to justify the hope that they will prove adequate not only for the actual requirements of the Government, but also to satisfy the wants of this rapidly-improving country. It will devolve upon you to consider the best and most appropriate means of husbanding these resources, and of augmenting as far as pos sible the, public wealth. I would earnestly press upon your attention the expediency of encouraging .immigration and the occupation of our public lands by affording to the working classes of Europe, and to the young men of our own province, additional inducements to settle and remain amongst us. The enactment of a liberal homestead law, with a free grant of land to bona fide settlers, would, I appre hend, prove of inestimable advantage in adding to the number and quality of our resident population. lam authorised to inform you that arrangements are in progress for the speedy ap pointment of arbitrators for the division and adjustment of the debts, credits, liabilities, pro perties, and assets of the late provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, under the 142nd sec tion of the British North American Act. 'When these gentlemen shall have completed their labours a copy of their report shall be laid before you. The expenses hitherto attending the establishment of a local government in this province have been neces sarily incurred upon the sole responsibility of the several heads of public departments appointed thereto, but I have directed detailed accounts of all such expenditure to be submitted to you for your approval and sanction. I have also caused estimates of the anticipated revenue and expendi ture for the ensuing year to be prepared, which I commend to your careful attention, relying upon your readiness to make suitable provision for the exigencies of the public service within that period. In carrying out the special objects for which you have been constituted as a legislative body, you will also be required to bestow your most serious consideration upon such applications as may be made to you for the incorporation of companies for provincial purposes or for the pro motion of local works and undertakings. And it must be your endeavour, while affording due en couragement to individual enterprise, to protect the interests of the public at large from the conse quences of rash or ill-advised speculations. In the fulfilment of these onerous and responsible duties I have the utmost confidence in your zeal and fidelity to the trust committed to you by the Constitution, and in your loyalty and attachment to the person and Government of our gracious Sovereign. But I your immediate functions are limited prominent f and local concern, you form the most dominion which, I populous portion of a new-b orn xtend from the At lanticwould beseech you always to remember to t m ha a t t , te w rs hi o le venture to hope, will ere long e aotn e mul titudeaagyfeamsteuto f this ecs o ne w a your cco m p care. any theßri tish Crown.

Mr. Brii:CE, in opening the discussion, said : We have song passed the preliii-iz a,ry stage of stati,:t:c:l in r i lir:cs. We hex, felled a L . ,ehtic evil welch . no State machinery now in force can overcome. A more stringent system is necessary for the education of the working classes, and all are agreed that the only way out of the difficulty is by local rates locally administered. This is the baeis of the conference at which it is hoped by communication of opinion and argument to remove, or at least to reduce to the narrowest proportions, the dialer.= that exist. (Hear, hear.) In advocating a permissive measure, the Council would not be held as denying the principle that it is the duty of the State to see to the education of all its citizens, but they wished to follow what seemed to them to be a feasible and prudent policy. What is wanted is cis and improvement. The most sanguine do not in. the passing of such a measure of national education as shall satisfy the aspirations of our best and wisest reformers. What is sought, therefore, is a steady and continuous progress rather than a eomplate change of system. Mr. Bruce cited opiialons v qkzany 1 i4-la:atitho rities of various shades of religious and political opinion in favour of secular education, and in conclusion he sub• mitted the two following points for discussion :-1. Per. missive or compulsory rating ; 2. If compulsory, hole set in motion ? Speakers were restricted to ten minutes each. Archdeacon SANDFORD believed if landowners ant. others had given as much support to education as is given by the parochial clergy, the children of the country would be very different from what they are at present. In face ' of the tremendous facts given in Mr. Bruce's pamphlet, that 170,000 children in London, who ought to be in school, are not, and that there are eight parishes without schools, he believed it necessary to have not merely a permissive hut a compulsory bill. Mr. DixoN, M.P., declared himself to be a strong an earnest advocate of compulsory rating. The Hon. AIIBERON HERBERT supported the same vIONI with especial application to agricultural districts. Mr. W. E FORSTER, M.P., said the reason why he was in favour of Mr. Bruce and Mr. Egerton's permissive bill last year was, not that such a measure would meet the difficulties of the question, but because he thought public opinion and the opixdon of the House would not consent to more than a permissive measure. But the cause has made great progress since last year, and the country is now ripe for a complete bill. The voluntary educationists are assisting instead of obstructing. The present Go vernment will find means to meet the religious difficulty which could hardly be expected in opposition; and, finally, the Reform Act will give increased power to the people of the country. The country being ready for a compulsory bill, it would be wrong for the Legislature not to respond to the wish of the country ; and, if they did not, they would find, and ought to find, that the matter will be taken out of their hands. He would give the right to majority of ratepayers in the borough to establish a school, and, where that was not done, the Government should, if necessary, have power to force a district to rate itself. It would be unwise to come forward with a bill for the com pulsory rating of the whole country, as in some cases a district is already provided for ; but such a bill as he sug gested would provide for districts which would otherwise remain neglected. Mr. BAZLEY, M.P., announced himself to be an uncom promising supporter of compulsory rating and of e,ouipul story attendance at schools. Mr. JACOB BRIGHT, M.P., believing the country is not ripe for a compulsory bill for the whole nation, and think ing a permissive bill may be carried, was still sufficiently zealous in the cause of education to agree with the com promise suggested by Mr. Forster. Professor Jam, of Owen's College, agreed with Mr. Herbert and Mr. Forster, and shelved that the comparison of England with Prussia in education is more to the disadvantage of the former than appears on the stir face, on account of the inferior character of many of her schools. Dr. JOHN WATTS advocated secular education, leaving the clergy and ministers to settle the religious matter amongst themselves. (Hear, hear.) He affirmed the truth of his statistics, and added that many of the unedu cated children are also not at work. He supported Mr, Forster's views. The Rev. W. N. Moenswonrn, M.A., Rochdale, having at first supported the permissive bill as a matter of expediency, would support a compulsory bill if there was a reasonable prospect of carrying it. Mr. FORSTER, M.P., believed there would be a better chance of carrying a compulsory than a permissive bill. Mr. J. G FITCH, inspector of schools, said the loco. rate proposed would be so heavy as to provoke resistance • and, though it might be b e tt er th an local subscriptions, that system should not be allowed to s u p erse d e i mper i a l grants and the contributions of the parents. Imperial rants involved the desirable condition of competent inspection, while the payments by the parents gave them a special interest in the school. The national ideal of education would always be higher than the local ideal. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN explained that his bill did not contem plate depriving schools of the imperial grant, Dr. GARRETT held that as the intellect of a child is the only inherent property which he receives from his Creator, the State is bound not only to protect the property, but to see it is so managed during infancy as to give the owner the right and proper use of it in advanced life. He there fore supported compulsory education and compulsory attendance. Dr. PANICHURST advocated the same system, on too ground that elementary instruction, being of universal necessity, ought to be of universal provision. Archdeacon POLLOCK, having had experience of mining, manufacturing, and rural districts, had long ago cane to the conclusion that without a compulsory system of edu cation the lower stratum of our population will never bo reached. The working classes are always spoken of as being desirous of doing their duty by their children. He was sorry to say that this was not always the case. Mr. GOSCHEN, M.P., replying to previous arguments, and adopting an opinion advanced by the last speaker, said it was the State's duty to look after a matter of this immediate importance in the same way as it is the duty of the State to look after sanitary matters. It is not desirable to go too far. The limit is clear enough : the State is bound to interfere in this case where the subjects with which it deals are not able to assist themselves. England is, perhaps, the only country where every person born has a right to be maintained at the expense of the community, and it appeared to him that to a- certain degree education was a natural corollary of our poor-law system. (Hear, bear.) If the country is bound to support the children, surely it has a right to step in and say we will compel every child to be put in a position where he shall have the means of earning his living. (Hear, hear.) In the metropolis a system is wanted which will pick up those districts which are not dealt with by voluntary effort, and which have neither the power, inclination, nor public spirit to aid themselves, because in all large communities, where one class cannot see what goes on in another tis necessary that some public body should step in and take the initiative. He agreed with Mr. Herbert and Mr. Forster in endorsing the view advanced by Mr. Low e at Edinburgh, that the bill should not be compulsory over the whole country, because it is more important to utilise voluntary effort where we find it. (Hear, hear.) Where o co re urff,e w a ou re i r d te k y e o ep u may discourage voluntary effort. 7 .frer e e a f the rate as a last resource ; but it would be necessary to have an educational survey of England and Wales, and to deal without delay with the evils that undoubtedly exist. 'There are districts in Lon don so pressed down already by rates that it is too much to ask them to keep them up of their own accord. Where the rates are so high that the ratepayers are ra pidly falling into a state of pauperism, you cannot have an education rate voluntarily adopted, A great deal o f opposition may be expected from persons who will say that it is unfair to place this burden upon one kind of property. Therefore it. is not impossible that the system of rating should be reconsidered in order to deal with a matter of this kind. On that account he trusted the financial opposition to this measure would be kss than might otherwise be expected. Earl DE GREY then rose to move "That this Conference requests the Right Hon. H. A. Bruce, the Hon. W. E. Forster, and the Hon. Algernon Egerton either to reintro duce the bill of last session, with such modifications as may be deemed desirable, in conference with the Educa tion Bill Committee , to render it more complete, or to lend their suppo r t t o an y G-overnment measure based on similar principles." The noble earl submitted that the permissive bill of last session would have been a step in advance, and would have shewn how Manchester and Birmingham would have worked under it. We should be careful not to impede the existing machinery, imperfect though it be, because there are districts where it would be a mischievous waste of power to introduce compulsory rating. On the other hand, he cordially agreed that there are many dis tricts in town and country in which there little hope t of seeing any system of permissive rating iii operation. Believing that we cannot wait until these backward and recalcitrant district: give up theirmay be pe n p u l r e i a o s u e s d . to lay aside their ignorance and ness, he cordially agreed in the viewqnatriVoatnieiVsib)eyaki‘eirsr: Herbert, Mr. Forster, Mr. Goscien While this matter was safe in the hands to which it won entrusted, it could be better dealtwiotrltifildiyeltthtehr,eds.pi(finstiiiiielye advisers of the Crown iand i was e and this Parliament did not I deal with the question, the new Parliament would deal with it • for confident he was that the only safe corollary to universal suffrage was u niversal education. (App lause.) Mr M.P.. seconding , believed a permis sive bill would be laughed out of the seconding , and out of the country. He had never yet seen a populo.r meeting which was not unanimous in calling upon the S tate to fulfil its duty in this respect. Therefore, he believed in the neces sity for a compulsory system of national education, and was in favour of the reconstruction of the permissive bill of last session with compulsory' clauses. 1119 1319tiini waa carried unaninaeualy. • NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE.
