There were many clergymen and lay dele- gates in attendance but not many of the general public. After the preliminary pro- 'ceeding<, and an address by the Bishop, the question of appointing a Coadjntor was brought upon a resolution and warmly discussed on both sides. The Synod ad- journed at twelve o'clock and met again at three. It was thought at the morning ses- sion, from the opposition that was mani- fested, that no Coadjutor would be ap- pointed. When the Synod met at three the discussion was resumed, and there were many spectators in attendance. An amendment was moved to the e'ect timt it was desirable to appont a Coadjutor Bishop with a view to a division of the diocese. The was voted down by 25 to 30 clergy, and 10 to 20 of the lairy. The original resolution was attempted to be withdrawn by Mr W. B. Simpson, the mover; and after a little conlusion a Ii1n-- tion to adjourn sine the was put and can ed.

A special meeting of the Synod of On- ` tsrio was opened today (Thursday) in St, I lG-:orge s Hall, called for the purpose of, ,elicting 3 Coailjutor Bishop to reside in` Kingston in contemplation of the removal 1 of Bishop Lewis to Ottawa. Before the or- gsnization oi" the Synod services were held at nine o clock in St. George s Cathedral. were clergymen .gstes 1 i uppointing both persons derive from the protection of govern- ment, we should have to consider who would suer most if that protection were withdrawn ; to which question, if any answer could be made, it must bethst those would suffer most who were , weiltest in mind or body, either bfnature or bv position. lndeed, such persons would almost infsllibly he slaves. If there were snyjustice, therefore, in the theory of justice now under consideration, those who are least capable of helping or defending themselves, being those to whom the protection of government is the most indispensable, ought to pay the greatest share 2 of its price; the reverse ofthe true idea of dis- tributivejustice, which consists, not in imitating but in redressing the inequalities and wrongs of nsturs.

The division of taxation in any country into municipal and general, leads to some confusion in the results which appear upon the application of a sound test of its principles. For the advan- , tages that our municipality confers, and for the I burdens of some mis-conceived advantages, a tax upon the property-'ot' the citizen discharges his obligation. If the tax is higher than else- where it must be that the advantages derived are more costly. But men with capital from which xed incomes are derived pay one tax in Gait, another in Toronto, another in Kingston, Persons in receipt of professional and trade in- comes may derive advantages corresponding to the varying rates of taxation. liutall persons! having xed salaries or incomes not dependent i upon residence in any particular place, derive no advantage whatever from anything peculiar '0 the municipality of that place. Any one municipality has the same powers and confers the same benets as another, and the cheapest is the best. In Britain and the United States, the income tax is uniform thoroughout the c xuntry, and forms a part of the general revenue. In Canada it varies in every municipality. As the principle upon which its expediency rests is different from that which should regulate the taxation of property, it would have been wise to have tirlrered as little upon itas possible. In this country the general revenue from customs is about $8,000,000 upon an importation Of $40,000,000. As between town and country, the inhabitant of a town contributes by far the largest sum to the general government, his con- sumption of such imported goods as make a part of the necessaries oflife being much great- er than that of the farmer The whole of every income of $200 for an adult male or fe- male, and at least $300 for every married pair, is expended in the necessaries of life, and upon this minimum necessary expenditure is levied the general revenue. From this estimate of necessary expenditure is excluded house-rent and house-tax, which will increase the expen- diture of the married pair $50. If the income is larger it is spent or saved. The expenditure of what is more than necessary is properly taxable but the sum saved to become property is not innnmsn hut nninvnasnrl nnnnn-0- an 1-.- .... -. ...-.~--.v -v ' reuse; Ind II II in I , bu-pop, bu (rally enhanced the ulna of [ad bowecn , the two provinces he dB not think in am country mu. tumor vmhizh inlet- `W "' Pm!

Mr Wood said that the amendment of the hon. member for South Bruce was in order, but it was noth..ng more nor less than a motion or want of condence in the Government. (Hear, hear.) In fact if the resolution otfered by the hon. member were carried the whole scheme of the Government would be detected. and in case the motion were carried the hou . member for South Bruce would call upon the House`_not to stultify itself by passing the origin- al resolutions. He was glad to beer the hon. member airm upon this occasion that the re- venue of the School Fund belonged to the con- ' soliduted revenue and" that there were no vested rights in it. He pointed out that the land: were origiuully intended for the benefit of the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, and that the capital should be kept intact until it should produce an annual sum of $400,000. The statute provided that the revenue ttom these lands should not be alienated to Any pur- pose whatever. He bopudino of the [louse would therefore intorfen with the! fund.

It |ayl:- "These men but a short time ago were active instruments in a scheme for upsetting British rule in Ireland, and in furtherance oftheir plan did not hesitate to blow up public buildings in England, to plot. arson, rolbery, and murder, and would have burned down London had we allowed them the opportunity. If oences of this nature are to be designated as political, some of the convicts in Millbauk would beva.lu- able additions to the House of Commons, and the deliberative assembly of a gang of burg. la.rs in Whitechapel has an equal claim to our respect. It must also be remembered that the release of these "political prisoners is a direct snub to the vigilance of the police, by whose exertions they were captured, and a. rebuke to the judges who sentenced them to imprison. meat.

It is in truth diicult in the present day to say what is the government of this coun- try. Its voice is to be heard more on the stump oratbr s platform or shrieking from the cells of Millbank than at the council table in Downing street. We appear to be guided by no principle but that of noise. We almost tremble at the sound ot our own whisper ; yet, strange to say, the echo of the guns that are blazing at our door excites no feeling of sppre. hension in our breasts. We start at the falling of: pin, but are deaf to the roar of cannon. Threatened abroad, bullied at home, it is pero hapa as well for its own comfort that our gov- ernment does not allow its protracted slumhers to be disturbed by opposing- a fatiguing resis- tance to those who kick its prostrate body, but whether this is comforting to its employers--. the publig;-is another question. , :_..,:~._.F __.

The bombardment of the forts defending Paris has been kept up "steadily for several days, but up to the 10th no further impres- sion seems to have seen created than the dis- mnuntiug of guns. The Pruseiens had not ordered an assault, sothat it may be interred the forts were not fully silenced or breach- ed by the tremendous artillery tire to which they have been subjected. Stray shots from the Prussian cannon are described as falling in the very heart of Paris. When the Jnvalides is exposed to be struck, as it has been, the far reaching power of the Prus- sian batteries may be conceived. It is doubtful, however, whether the Prussian: will attempt to take the forts by storm. An early cepitulation is anticipated irrespe`<`.T tive of such an attack ; and in this case it may be asked of what use would be a sucti- tice of lives to gain an end which is far lrom remote by the effect of starvation alone. From Prussian sources it is report- ed that bread riots have broken out in Paris and that the mob have been brought into collision with the military. The Psrisiaus by this time are reduced to course wheat our; end some inequality in the distribution of this food by the authorities has no doubt excited the popular discon- Ones?
