the so iety of the few men of learning troin the mother country then in the colony.There are, indeed, good reason* t»» lielieve that his conferences with the*.» gentlemen ha 1 an important influence in suggesting the subsequent disjM>*.il of a large part of his fortune in ail -M education.In this connection it may tie st»red that Mr.'b toll\u2019s resolution to dis|s»se of Ins pro|siti.*ii on the part ot the leaders of one section ot the |>cph' to any system of go venimeiital education, ami the anathv of some of the ineinlH'r» of the t'outieil, nail prevented the appoint meut of the Hoard, «*r the completion ol the Itls-ral grants of laud ami money for educational purpose* which had been promised.Mi.Md.ill was apparently weary of these de-lays, amt feared that he might l*f eut otf by death before be Could realize his liiteiitiou*.He bad also tbe sagacity t«» foresee that a private 131 endowment might force the reluctant or tardy hands of the members of the (Government to action.Accordingly, in hia will, prepared in 1811, more than two a.r before his death, he bequeathed hia prop ;.i.y ot Burnaide, and a sum of ten thousand pounds in money, to found a college in the contemplated Provincial University, under the management of the Poari of Royal Institution ; but on condition that such college and university should be established within ten years of his decease.Three leading citizens of Montreal, the Hon.Jaa.Richardson, .lame» Keid, Kaq., and James Dunlop, Esq., and the Rev.John fttrachan, afterwards Bishop of Toronto, were appointed trustees under the will.Ills OKfUINAI.IDEA.The wise liberality of a good man is oftc.far more fruitful than he could have anticipated.Mi.Mctiill merely expreaaed a wish to found a college in connection with a university already provided for by the generosity of tire British ( Govern iirei.t ; but goverumenta in those day* were a.» w.-ak kueed in tire cause of true progress as they still are The grants to found a university and public schools were not given ; ami, iu deference to the claims of tire Roman Catholic* to control the education of the country, tire hugliith settlers in th* Province of (Juel»ec were deprived of the provisions for education made by tire lilierality of the l rown in other colonies.In the providence of (.God, Mr.Me-(Gill\u2019s la-quest caure in to avert some, at bast, of the evils arising from this failure, lu couse, quence of his will, a pressure was brought to is-ar on the ^Government, which resulted in the apiM.intiirent of tire Board 0f Royal Institution in 18H ; and though, from the refusal of the French to take j*art in it, it was almost entirely English in it* conijKisition, it proceeded to the establishment of non-denominational schools.The».* schools were never very numerous ibout eighty being the maximum numl«r ; but they formed the beginning of the present school system.The Royal Institution, being a (Government Boar-1, had, on that account, too Inti.- of the jKJpular sympathy, especially among tire settlers in the Eastern Townships ; and the Local Legislature practically refused to acknowledge it, and set up in opposition to it tire -le.muninatioual system of \u201c Fabrique schools\u201d in the French parishes ; and, tinallv, its function* were restricted to the M-iGill College alone, hv the new educational act which followed the re-l»ellion of 1 *37.In so far as the Mc(Gill College wa» concerned, the Royal Institution at once took action b\\ applying for a royal charter, which was graute 1 in 1820, and prepared to take iKXsesssioti of tire estate.This, however, owing to litigation t* to tbe will, was not surrendered to them till 182s*.They also demanded the grant* of land which had been promised, and receiv- l fresh assurances .and, a* an earnest of their fultil-rn-ut, the i Government of tire day was authorized to erect a building for Me(Gill College, mil to defray the ex jieuses out of the \u201c .lesuit\u2019sesta'.e*.\u201d But the hope* thus held out proved illusory, and the college buildings had to he l»-gun w t the money left by Mr.MdGill, and wen- it length complete-!

AN« F.* LEADING TO THE BEyPK' K.In tiie year of Mr.McCGill\u2019s death, th# population of Montreal was scarcely I.r.o.-o ; and these a very small minority were English, \"ne-third of the houses were wooden huts, and tire extent of the foreign trade may be measured by the nine ships from the sea, of an aggregate of L.r\u2022'\u2018ï, tons, reported as entered in the v.ar 18It.The whole English population of LnWi-r Canada was verv trifling.There was no school system, and there were no school* with tin- .-x-e.-ptioii of the seminaries of the Church of Rome and a few private adventure schools.It »
