The Spring examination, in con- nection with the Port Perry Gram- mar School, took place on Friday, 26th of June. : We were not able to be present at the whole of the Common School ex- amination, which came off the day preceeding, but we are pleased to say from what we did sce and hear that it was creditable to all concern: ed. & The attendance of visitors at tho Grammar School examination was very respectable, especially in the afternoon; but is it not to be regret- ted that so little is done on the part of patrons and Trustees of the school in the way of occasional visits during the session 2 . Want of time, in con- sequence of pressure of business, is pleaded as aun excuse... Surely the pressure must run high indeed when hot even a single half hour can be spent during a six months' session to this laudable purpose. 1t is certain: ly to be hoped that there will be a decided improvement in this respect, in the future, and that those who have, or should have, a deep interest in the school, will give some practi- cal evidence of that interest, in the H.

It was a grand affair. The children and of every thing except the mem- ory of the Prince Concert, were to give«p the whole business. If we felt assured that the Prince of Wales was thotoughly up to the work 'of a King of England, in the most diffi- cult erisis since Charles I lost his head, we should say, the sooner the better.

All were creditable, consider-- ing the inexperience of the essayists put forth by Mr. Campbell.

Ah, but con- sider--what other issues must arise. Here is a whole array of republican rascality, ready to spring at the throat of Royalty ; and the instant a King ascends the throne of England, the struggle must commence. The gentlemen of Fogland are strong enough and resolute enough to save Alexandria from the fute of Maria Antoinette, but whether they will awake early to the sterr earnestness of the coming struggle is a doubtful matter. At any rate, whatever the House of Commons and the London Trades- men may thiok, it would be danger ous for her Majesty to abdicate at this moment It would accelerate a crisis for which the resisting forces are prepared. -Many indecd who read this will fancy that we are alarmists ; will imagine 1t quite im- tion in England; and an entive Boiles) versement of ont ancient constitution. This optimist indifference is the source of our main peril. All is right that is done in England, preach the Times and Telegraph; and the happy, easy, indolent creed is accept- ed by the comfortable folk who have cood incomes and a balance at their bankers." But for all that the crucial critical time is coming ; the mael- strom of destructiveness has already sucked into it§~ waters William Ewart Gladstone, once Oxford's pride, once Toriest of Tories. And it is, moreover, significant that among Gladstone's most trusted followers is a man who bears the great name of Coleridge, the name of the Plato of England. When such things occur, men must be very blind indeed if they cannot perceive that we arc on the verge of a great conflict--too probably of an absolute revolution.

Thus the nation- al credit of the * sick man of Euro is better than that of the * Great public of the West." In the matter of taxes the facts are equally Sislking, Taxation in France amounts to $7.9 per capita, in Great Britain $10.92 per capita, and' in'the United States $16 per capita, Persons intending to emigrate from the old world would do well to bear this in mind, and also to remember that in Canada the tax- ation is much less than in any of the countries named.

Tn nearly every in- stance after the complaint has been lodged, these persons have offered to compromise, and withdraw the pros- ecution on condition that a certain sum be paid them, and in many cases their demands were complied with. In tho case of one John Mec. Gill, however, they met witha blank refusal, and criminal proceedings were stituted and two indictments laid against him before the Grand Jury of the present sessions--one for cutting trees, the other for the larceny of the wood. The offer to withdraw the charge, on payment of $40, was proved on the trial by one of the Company's witnesses, and the jury brought in a verdict of not guilty," thus marking their disappro- val of such disgraceful attempts to pervert the law as were shown to have been attempted. - Tre Ligorenant-Governor's Resi pexce.--The contract for the erec-- tion of the residence for the Lieut- Governor of the Province of Ontario has been awarded to Messrs.
