example bad been set this country.Scattered, us the people were there, they enjoyed the ad- vantagesofa most complete system of education.In the single state of New York, containing! only a population of 2,000,000, S1,000,000 was last year expended for the purposes of educa tion.Jt was theduty of n wise and hmnane legislature not merely to punish crime, but to prevent it ; and he knew of no more powerful means of prevention than by the diffusion of general education.He anticipated that those! who voted for the second reading of the Sabbath Bill, with the view of preventing the commission of crime on the Sunday, Would support hiz motion, which had for its object to prevent the commission of crime on ali days oi the week.He was disposed to think that to render any eystein of education nations and general, it must be compnleory.He would propose that Parlinineut should pass a law to makc it anoffence to keep from school children between years and years (leaving the age to ba determined on by the house).This was by no means a novel ea of hig, for a law to that effect existed in Prussia; and he trusted that the example set by the government of France, which had sent a man eminent in philosophy cn literature to examine the Prussian system of education, would be fuiluwed by this country.By the 43d article of the Prussian law of 1819, it was enacted that every person who was unable to give his children instruction at home thould be compelled to send them to a national school, from the age of five years and upwards.There were peraong who would say that the system pro oad would interfere too mich withthe parental authority ; but when it was admitted that children should be educated ia sucha nan- ner as to make them fit members of the state, then he conceived that the state had an undoubted right to intefere.it was alvo objected that the children at these schools might be taught raligious opinions not consonant to the wishes of the parents ; but that would not be the case, as they would have sufficientinfluence to prevent | it.The hon.member then referred to the work ! of M.Cuusin on this subject, and instanced the schools under the influence of the Duchess of Saxe-Weimer, in support of thes statement.\u2014) \"The hon.member also referred to the evidence! given before the factory commission, and parti- | cularly to that of Mr.Rowland Detrosicr, as, showing the evils arising from the want of pro-| per instruction both to the operatives and their wives, By this plan, however, it was proposed not merely to give to the student a knowledge of reading and writing, and the elements of numbers, but that there should also be such hizher kind of instruction as would give to them not the instruments only, Lut also tho means of | applying them.For instance, put into the! hands of u beginner the Dialogues of 1'lato, or! the works of any otherrecondite author, and he! would be sure, by the present Fystem, to acquire a knowledge of the language in which they were written, but he would learn nothing more.It was a common thing to say to a poor man, \u201c Read your Bible, and you wall have every knowledize vou require ; but if that man read the book with difliculty, aid understeod it with more, of what service contd it he to hin 7.To do away with evils of this description, as they existed in the pres:nt system, he (Mr.Roebuck) proposed that the instruction afforded to the pupils in these schools should he of the highest and most enlarged description ! \u2014that the instruction for the poor should, be in every way the same as waa afforded to the rich.He would now proceed to rome of the details of the proposed plan, us to the masters to he employed, and their\u2019 remuneration, Tle was of opinion that these schools shonld be equally within the reach of the rich aa the poor, It was proposed by the present plan that there should first be infant echools,and that frum them the eluldren should go to gchivols of industry, the latter of which should be separately for boys and for gids, \u2018Then there were to be these schools of industry in every district, the country to be divided into districts as America.With reference to the infant schools, he would refer to the opinion of the present Lord Chancellor at the time of his investigation, which was, if infant schools would have tho cffuct of ; separating the rich from the poor\u2014with that; opinion he (Mr, Roebuck) did not agree, but he | thought that if\u2019 infunt schools were cotablished in this country, similarly conducted to those in! Massachusetis, they would produce a state of things among all classes of the country far dif- : ferent from what was at present.There wasat.a village in Aimnocrica, called Rochester, à school combining manual labor withintellectual tuition.| \"The hon.member then stated, that in addition | to the above th ro were tobe nerinal schools, the | object of which wus the instruction of tho inas- ters, who were t teach in the other schoois\u2014 these were all to be under the supurintendence) of a superior officer, and the hop.member stated that the good effect of the normal schools in; France,sinco the revolution, had buen very great.| Ono advantagre to be derived from this public | tuition of the masters would be, that they would be raised to that rank in their profcasion which : would be an inducement to them to embrace it.In conclusion, the hon.member adverted to the proposed plan, and complamed that the public\u2019 nonies of thy conntry had heen expended upon various objects of minor importence, while on a subject liko that of education none had hitherto, * on any large rede, been laid out, After some further observations, the Lion, member moved a! resolation, \u201cThat this house will, carly in tie ensuing session, consider the tacans of estab.lishiag a syste) of natinaal education.\u201d : From the ( York) Colonial \u201cAdvocate.Mr.McKENZIE\u2019S ACCOUNT OF THE RE-AP- POINTMENT OF Mn.HAGERMAN.The dismissal of Messrs.Boulton and Hagerman became matter of common newspaper report in Kngland in April, In June, we had copies of the official letters through the Canadaand Nova Scotia newspapers.On the\u2014th of that month, Zhe T'mesan- nounced Mr.Ilenry J.Boulton\u2019s presentation to the King and Queen by Mr.Stanley, in the character of Chief Justice of Newfoundland ; and The Morning Herald assured the public that Mr.Hagerman had been reinstated in his office of Solicitor General, a fact which, upon inquiry, 1 learnt the correctness of from a member of the government, as well as from a gentleman who had had the information fivw Mr.H.himself, I conless that these appointments, vexed me very much.\u2018They appeared to exhibit an entire absence of all principle, honour, and consistency, a total disregard for pub lic opinion in the Colunitvs, and a great want of respect, on the part of Mr.Stanley, both for his own character and that of his colleagues in office.1 therefure determined not to leave London without remonstrating with the government against the re-appointment of Mr.Hagerman, personally, by letter, and also through the medium of an influent ial Fiend ot Canada.The result wasu promise, tuade through a right honourable member of the administration, that the obnoxious appointment would be re-considered, and the objections that might be urged againstit carefully weighed.To the Right Honorable Elward Ellice, Seeretary at War, | accordingly enclosed a memorial in the following words, to he by him placed in the hands of the Sccreta- ry of State for the Colonies, for consideration previous to the time when the appointment was to be confirmed.To the Right Honorable BE.G.Stanley, Bequire, MP, His Majesiy\u2019s Principal Sucretury of State fur the Coloniez, qe.dc.Moxpay, 24th June, 1833.Sin ;\u2014On ascertaining from good authority the fact of Mr.Hagerman*s re-ap- pointment to the office of Solicitor General of Unper Canadn, 1 feltit to be my duty, before lenving the country, to endeavour to obtain a reconsideration of that proceeding, because jrappeared to me to involve the destructiongol all those prudent efficient measures ol conciliation suggested by Viscount Goderich, and which had legun to produce the best effvets throuzhout the province.* »v + » = » # # = à (Some of the preliminary observations 1 made are unimportant.My objections were stated as follows 1) Mn.McKENZiF'3 OBJECTIONS TO TIIE ne- APPOINTMENT oF Mn.HaGEnmAN.\u201c1 OnsEcT to the re-appointment of Mr.Hagerman, because that 24,000 of the people or Upper Canada showed his Majesty\u2019s government by their petitions of last year, that they were opposed to the measures Lie constantly pursued.I omscer tot for the many reasons assigned in the several communications | have had the honor to address to your department within the last year, and which communications were read, considered, and acted upon in array fuvourable to the interest and in accordance irith the wishes of the people of the province, These reasons-\u2014Fnuwn to you\u2014| shall re-state on my return to Canada, that the colonists may have a perfect understanding upon what grounds and under what circumstances Mr.Hagerman®s conduct has at lensth received the apyru- Lation of his savereion, lousrct to his appuinunent, because 1 hold it to be injurious to the public interest to appoint as Solicitor General, any individual whose condurt and public character ay have rendered him obnoxious to the great body of the people.1 omrer to it, because Îlis Majesty has stated within the last few weeks to the cople of America, that Mr.Hagerman had seen dismissed from his office for having \u201ctaken a partin public atlairs,\u201d ¢ directly opposcil to the avowed poliey of IJis Majesty's Government, \u201dand for having brought \u201cthe sincerity vf the government into question by bis opposit:on to the policy which His Majesty Bad heen advised to pursue.\u201d | onskeT to it, because it will farther assistin destroying that dependence upon the impartial \u2018administration of Justice which believe to be most essential to the connexion between Britain and British America.\u2018I'he colonists would perhaps find it difficult to discover upon what fixed principle of rearon and justice, the rame King and Government which had officially announce yesterday that the Law Officers of the Crown had heen dismissed, after grave consideration, as unfit for o flice, Lad | to-day declared the one qualified to act as a Chief Justice and the other fitto bea Colonial Solicitor General.1 omECT to it, because a great majority of the whole male adult population of Upper Canada have replied to Viscount Go- derich's despateh of thy 8th November last, by addresses to His Majesty, expressive of their gratitude to His Majesty for adop- tinz a mild, conciliatiug, and temperate voliey, in opposition lu the course which Ir.Ungerman and his colleague had seen fit to pursue.Of Messrs.Boulton and Hagerman's extraordinary couduct in regard to that despatch, the\u201d peopte of Canada are aware that you have a complete knowledge.Tu, Arrornruexe of Mr.Marerman would Bay to the twenty thousand mien whuse address Mr, Hume is uliout to pre- seul to the King, that His Mojesty had i been advised w adopt a course of pocceding in Canada to which the opinion of the petitioners was directly and most unequivocal ly opposed.Jt would say to other fifteen thousand men, one of whose addresses, fron Port Hope, you lately received, and the rest ol which you will soon be put in possesion of\u2014\u201c Learn tho policy of His Majesty's Government fium the agents it employs.We give you Mr.lay as the successor of Lord Howick, and Mr.Hagerman is the roum of Mr.Hagerman.\u201d It would exhibit a divided cabinet at home, and a government opposed to public scotiment triamphing in America.I onsecT to it, because Mr.Hagerman has been in the minonty, even in the present House of Assembly, on the questions of the law of primogeniture, the inalienable character of the clergy reserves, general education, Jaw courts\u2019 reform, equalieligious rights to all classes of the people, and nearly all other questions of principle wherein that Body has been influenced by public sentiment during its three sos- sions.His re-appointment, if persisted in, would bring into effective operation an organized sytem of opposition to the government, fiom the various Christian denominations who have been petitioning Great Britain for many years, In a word it would be a spoke in the wheel of another vielen revolution in America.The late Crown Officers possessed no influence whatever, save that given them by their oflices\u2014they were respected by no arty as public men\u2014their ignorance of aw, and want both of tact and talent in the legisiaturs, brought the government of which they were the organs into public contempt.The course pursued be them in my often repented expulsions, and the measures Inken in consequence by the fifty thousand people immediately surrounding the seat of goverment, might have shewn even the most inexpericneed statesman England ever had, that the local government was despised by all classes, and trusted by none.I clearly perecive that the Executive Governments of the Colonies possess means of making themselves heard at head quarters which are denied to the people for whose benefit they are established.Lower Cannda appointed Sir Jumes Mackintosh, Mr.Laboucheer, Mr.Neilson, & Mr.Viger, successively its agents-the legislative council dissented\u2014and Mr.Viges,representing 650,000 Capadians, by a vote of 47 io ), has not yet obtained an audience, while the council declares that the province 1s roing tv confusion.Surely this cannot end well! I rejoiced in being the bearer of good tidings to Canada, but my satisfaction is short lived.Conduct which the country would consider a justification ot a complete exclusion from office is not so considered here.A month ago | expected that public opinion had been appealed to by a general election\u2014that Mr.Rolph and Mr.Jameson would be the organ< of the government in the new Assem- bly\u2014that the elections would be over before tny return\u2014and that the first mensures of the pew representation would fully prove that the mild and peaceful policy of Lord Gioderich, stendfastly pursned by his successor, was caleulated to restore tranquilit and contentment, I am disappointed, The prospect before us is indeed dark and gloomy.Will not officers of the government, when \u201cguilty of an abuse of their ower and of remissnesss in their duties, ?enceforth Le apt to take courage in crime, when they remember the ineffectual strug- ales of the people of Upper Canada to obtain justice?- » ° .e ° + Iu conclusion, { beg once more to bring under your notice an official copy of an ad- diessto His Majesty on the administration of Justice in Upper Canada.Are such addresses to be forever sent in vain! 1 have the honor to remain, Sir, Your respectful and most obedient.Humble Servant, W.L.MACKENZIE.» The address of which I sent a copy, was that which Mr.Rolph movedin 1280 and which the Mouse of Comimuns vrderec to be printed for its information in August ast, One whjection to Mr.Ilagerman\u2019s re-ap- pointment | forbore to mention, namely,his opinion and conduct on the York and Kingston Banh questions, which has been proved to he entirely at variance with the views of His Majesty\u2019s Goverminent, by its disal- lowance of these bank acts, a fact of which 1 was positively informed by Mr.Stanley himself As Crown Oilicers,anud ns met - bers of the Legislature, it was the dut of Messrs.Doulton and Hagerman at all times carelully to watch the powers given to corporations.So far did they neglect this important trust as to bring in the bank hills which the King afterwards disalluwed; and yet, while Mr.Stanley admits by bis actions their unfitness, he has promoted and given then new marks of the royal favour ! fam unable to explain this species of conduct, for 1 do not understand it.Some suy that it proceeds from an entire absence of all system and order in the Colonial Office, and affirm that there every thing is done upon the spur of the moment and without regard to auy fixed principle; while others will assert that every Secretary of State is absolute in his own department and may give such orders without reference to his colleagues or his predecessors, fn the case of Lord Dalhousis, which greatly resembles that of Chief Justice Boulton, Mr.MeCiregog, speaking of La | Lower Csunda diieultion, says, 10 his hie.tory vf Britsh America, vol.Zud, page 178, EE second edition, * The Earl of Dalhousie soon after returned from Canada.His Majesty's Ministers at the time declaring iu parlinment their approbation of his lordship's conduct; and lis appoiniment, soon after, to a high command in India, impressed the colonists with a belief that he only acted in Canada, necording to instructions he received from England On the morning of the day on which I left London, Mr.Hume handed me a letter for publication in Canada, thanking the people for those marks of their confidence and friendship which had been extended to him,approving of the course 1 had pursued in London on their behalf, and assunng them that he would at all umes be willing to carry their complaints before the House of Cummons, where at least they should be heard if not redressed.Mr.Hume states that he has no confidence whatever in Mr.Stanley as colonial minister, and refers to his behaviour to the a Irish when he held the office of Secretary for Ireland, and to his re-nppointment of the ublic oflicers whom Viscount Goderich id justly dismissed for a lonz continued course of misconduct, ns proofs that Upper Canada has nothing 10 expect from him of kind treatment, Mr.II.has just ns lit - tle confidence in Mr.Stanley\u2019s Colleagues; and recommends union, discipline, and a resolute determination on the part of the well informed and reflecting partof the population, as the only means now left them of obtaining good government.1 mislaid the letter at Quebee, either among my papers or in the House of a friend, but will probably suon be able to publish it, ImronranT Book Sane.\u2014\"The Library of the late John Flemming, sq.of this City is advertised fur sale onthe 16th instant, This sale offurs to the literati an opportunity of pre- cuving additions to their libraries which may not again occur in Thitish America for more thana century, The whole collection amounts to nearly Twelve thousand eolumes, ranged under the following heads : \u2014 THEOLOGY, Vols.The Bible - - - - - 87 Study of the Sacred Scriptures, - 127 The Fathers, .- - .66 Councils, - - - .- - Evidence of Natal nud Revealed Religion .- .- 109 Practical Divinity - - - - 201 Speculative Divinity « - - - ay Controversial Divinity - - - - 80 Miscollancous .- 115 Casuists - - - - - .38 Prayer Books, Confessions vf Faith, &e.98 Duiam, Paganism, Ke.- - - 60 LAW AND GOVERNMENT, Law of Nature and Nations, and General Principles of Laws aud Government, 121 Roman Law - - .- - 46 Laws of England - .- - 155 Laws of France - - .- - 2085 Feclesiastical Law - - - - 43 Parliamentary Law - - - - 13 Luws of Canada - - - - 65 Works relating to Law and Government not comprehended under preceding heads, - - - .6 NATIONAL APTA.Politics and Diplomncy - - - - 107 Political Economy - - - - 107 Connnercu - - - - - - 39 PILILOSOPHT.General Trentise on Philosophy, and Dictionnries of tho Sciencesund Arts - 181 Morul and Intellectual Nature of Man - 105 Physical Constitution of Man - - 17 Works on the General Puinciples of Human Nature - - - 65 Mathematics and Astronomy - - 23 Mechanies and Natural Philosophy - 28 Natural History .- - - 78 Chennstry .- - - - 10 Guolory - .- .- 15 Medicine .- - - - 8 À serteulture - - - - - 89 Commereeasan Art - .- - 18 Art of War - - - - 21 Music and other Asts - - - - 21 The Fine Arta, and the Study of Anu- quitics, ns connected with them, - 81 BELIES LETTRZS.Of the Nature of \u2018Taste in General, and of the Study of Polite Literature - 9 History of Literature - .- 28 Principles of the English and French Languages - - .- 68 English Poctry and Romances - - 389 French Poetry and Romances - - 207 English Drama - - .- 101 French Denn - - - - 80 English Novcla - - - - 163 French Novels .- - - 107 Orecian Language and Antiquities - 237 Roman Language and Antiquities - 30 Haling Languageand Writings init - 168 Spanish, Portuguese, German, Dutch, &e.Lunguayes .- - - 140 HISTORY.Works Introductory to the Study of History and Geography .- *93 Descriptions and Antiquities of Coun- .trie in Europe, and Travels in thom - 169 Desciiptions of Asia, sud Travels in jt.- 63 Descriptions of Africa, and Travels init - 24 Descriptions of\u2019 America, and Trovelninit 101 Genera) Voyages and Travels - - 90 Ghronoloey - - .34 Universal History - - - - - 168 Grecian History - - = = 46 British History - «+.4u8 French llistry - - -
