The Secretary of the Episcopal Church

of defalcation TO the extent Of $1,000. The exam

are not mlly known. 1t is said, however, that be

poses, but 10 the sustenat0n OF the Church"
paper, the organ OF the EplscOpalans. The money
has beontaken out OF that portion OF the Clergy Re-
serve fund which IS received by the Ep.scopllAns.
his fund is subdylted several times and the mon

THIS IN Upper Canada. In Lower Canada ~ least
nfne-tenths OF the people are represented by Re
formers.
The state Of education "a Lower Canada may be
inferred from the fact that while she claims q DOpu-
lation equal 10 that Of Upper Canada, only 6o 0OJ
children attended school al the last official accounts,
while IN Upper Canada the lumber vas $4,000. Olt
OF d population 81 some sUOCUO, II Is me iauchOiy
fact TO see only o. 0O0 children attending the public
schools. Yet the Superintendent Of Education for
Lower Canada pron0nnces the state OF the case
highly satisfactory" Ii seems that some Of the
School Commissioners are utterly destitute OF any
literary Qualifications There exists no Normal
schools, as IN Upper Canada. for the training OF
teachers and 10 provision has been made for the
establishment OF public Libraries. fne Supenn-
leACtAt ASKS ala 10 supply tncSe loilcleucles, as
also 10 establish Journal Of Education . bat
whether the Legislature will listen u HIM
remains TO be seeu. The Journal Of Edoe1ti9f,
published IN Upper Canada Is private specula
lion, owned and edited by the Superintendent OF
Education. He irequenlly makes It the organ OF
official communication with the suoOIdlnates Of the
department, but beyond Tins II has official Claf.c
ter. In Lower Janaca 10 IS undeQlaOle that the
great Of the youth being brought up Without
receiving any education at all, except such the
priests may dole out 10 them and out of the 70
this amounts 10 scarcely anything Such being the
condition OF the Canadians. IN respect 10 educa
tor, II may easily De conceived that they are not
capable OF working efficiently very highly demo
from what II IS IN Upper Canada l. there nearly

In point OF intelligence the people Of Upper Canada
