mysterious Affair.

81 We learn that the dead body Of child
was found on last Sunday, in one of the
locks Of the canal, shert distance south
east OF the village. It was wrapped in
clothing and had evidently been placed there
by some one desirous to hide from the world
the knowledge Of its birth, as well as the
knowledge Of it's death. .@ a'

schosl Exalnination.

The examination Of the public schools
OF this place, came off last week according
to previous notice. The pupils of the pri.
mary and intermediate schools were exam
ined on Thursday, the ladies Of the High
School under the charge of the Misses As
PINwALL was examined on Wednesday and
the High School under the charge of Mr..
NEWELL on Friday. Our duties in the Office
prevented us from attending as constantly
a. we desired, as it was, we were able to be
present only part Of the time.
So far as we saw or can learn, the exam
ination OF each and all the schools was
conducted in fair and candid manner and
was highly credible to the teachers engag-
ed. The manner in which the pupils gen.
orally acquitted themselves we think, de-
serves the approval Of the parents and guar
dians interested. 1t is impossible of courses
to prepare every scholar attending the
schools OF a town like this, for perfect and
rigid examination. The want of cc-opera-
tion upon the part of parents and guardi.
ans, irregularjty in attendance and many 9TH
er difficulties we'll known to the teacher, rem
der this impossible. The effects of these
evils was observable at times, during the
examination.
Nothing can be of greater value TO a CON-
munity than a we'll regulated system oil
public schools; and it is for the interest oil
every person within the boundaries of their
influence, to use all reasonable means to
promote them. They are among the most
powerful and efficient means Of advancing
our political and social prosperity.

Royal mail steam ship A trica. Capt. Har.
rison reached her dock in this city at 7. A
NJ. Her mails could not be got off in the
early train as the steam ship Canada occu-
pied the dock.
The A frtca had to anchor in the stream
hence the delay in getting off the mails.

little news Of interest, in addition to that via
Halifax.

Dispatches from Ceylon, of February, an.

Troops were sent to put down the insur.

been fought.
Melbourne was in a state of sege.
This news has of course arrived by the
overland mails, and no doubtrefers to the dis.
turbances at the diggings.
The Australia dates are not given, and the
dispatch was evidently made for Continental
circulation.
The Constitutional says we have received
confirmation of the sad news which has
been ten days about Paris.
The frigate lost on the Straits Of Bonefca
is the Semilante, which recently left Frulen
with 400 soldiers on board. The vessel
struck one of the reefs in that passage, and
Immediately filled. The crew and passen.
gers, making total of 700, all perished.
No other details have been received of this
catastrophe. The loss has created the most
painful sensation in Pars--700 men have
perisned together, with vast quantity OF
cannon, mortars and gun-powder; nothing
saved. All that have been washed ashore,
SO far as known to government, is two pairs
of trowsers. The Semilante was going to
the East.
