Already we learn that many influential signiatures have been attached ‘to the requisition, and we trust that the list will be swelled until it shall be proved beyound a doubt that the ratepayers are reâ€" solved upon obtaining such an indispensable essential to the comfort of the citizeas, and the safety of their property. The following letter from Tuomxas Rexxoros, Esxq., Manâ€" aging Director of the St. Lawrence & Ottawa Railway, fully bears out what we have so frequently argued of late regarding the urgent necessity of taking immediate steps to secure an abundant water supply. It is vain to Ix our city contemporary‘s Torgnto desâ€" patch, published yesterday morning, it was affirmed that * there is truth in the rumour " that Saxpwrorp Fuzinxo resigns the Chief «* Engineership of the Intercolonial Railâ€" 4 way."

According to:â€" that arrangemont the _Chinese Government would be certain of three or four months‘ impunity, no matter w{at. outrages it might commit. If half the members of ‘,ttBrifilh legaâ€" tion at Pekin even were iseized dy the native authorities and thrown into prison or put to the torture, the British Minister would have to refer the " difficulty" to London, and wait from Christmas to May before he could lift a finger to compel the liberation of his colleagues. Such a fihrn-iuwthat which is talked of be tantamount to the withdrawal ot every British manâ€"ofâ€" war from Chinese waters. W hat would be the use of an adâ€" miral and fleet on the coast of China if they were never, under any.cireamstances, to act on their own mpomibilitf, but in all cases were to remain torpid till news of any outrage could be sent home to this country, and orders on the subject reâ€" ceived from the Home Government ?

An attempt on the part of the latter to substitute a creation of its own for this double product would at once drive high churechmen to nmake their choice between the two authorygies, and yin that case the majority would decide, with little or no hesitation, to obey the church rather than the staic. A free church movement could not possibly be started with more favourable chances. The question to be determined would no. no lonsr relate to the dro«s of the clergy;, it would involve the far wider issue, shall a purely ecclesiastical matter be settled by the Logislature of" a mixed state ? {‘nle.so one greatly ovgerrates the econsistency of the high church party, for Parlismeit to say~yes to the inquiry would be tantamount to a disruption of the Cluurch of England. â€" OUR RELATIONS ylzn CHINA.

But the private and public wells are nearly all rendered more or less impure beâ€" cause of the filtrations through the soil from the refuse of the city ; and the rivers, within easy reach of the water carters, are not proâ€" tected with much scrupuloaty from equally: disagreeable admixtures. â€" In addition to this, ‘r‘n have defective dnin}‘fâ€"defectin, that is from the want o‘ water‘to flush the draing, especially those leading from public and private residences, where * modern conâ€" veniences "‘ are attempted to be indulged in.

As generation . after generation passed away and there was still so much reâ€" mained to be done, even the heart of the believer might at times feel faint, when it asked itself when would all these things be ; but faith assured us that all would come to pass in God‘s good time.

After giving a brief history of the church in this country and eloquently ‘urging that the children of churchâ€" men in the backwoods should not be compe!â€" led to grow up without hearing the sound of the church going bell, he said there was work within the for all that could be hoped tor from thmdkpamon of the people of the church.

When such gentlemen as these could shake off their other . dutics and burthens to aid in the cause of .religion, it afforded great bhope of increased progress, A visit to the back country and a knowledge of the societyâ€"if he might so call itâ€"there, without that education which made men betiler and more loyal, would convince any ons that much wasâ€"still wanting.

Cnamyax : It is likely that you have already been reminded, in the course of the evening, that Queen‘s College was opened in the beginning of the year 1812. â€" But if this were the time, and this the place for doing so, I would probably furnish you withreminisâ€" cences of that evert sudh as no=one else here present could supply. In referring to the " opening of the College, I could tellâ€"of ‘all that I saw, and part of which I was.‘" <I should like otur friend, Mr. Macketras, the classical professor, to observe that I do not appropriate the language of the original, and say magna pars fin. Icould tell youabout my journey in those days from the West to King« ston. I travelled along with two others of the first year‘s students. Instead of taking the stage at Toronto, we hired a waggon for our own conveyanceâ€"studying: both comfort and econo:.nyâ€"the former a little, the latter much. Four days‘ laborious travellingâ€"the days including a large pottion of the nightsâ€" brought ns from Toronto to Kingston. ‘Now, by the Grand Trunk railroad, the=journey is easily accomplighed â€"within seven hours,. "Then, the larger places by the way, such as Cobourg and Belleville,. were ‘insignificant towns; and the smaller places, such as Whitby Port Hope, and Bowmanville, were mere hamlets. Now, all these are large and imporâ€" tant towns ; and, in the intermediate spaces along the line, are many beautiful and flourâ€" Mr. McGillivray spoke in favour of subâ€" scribing liberally, and following the noble example of Kingston. Ho thought that it would take no mors than about 80 centseach it all the members in their church in the country would subscribe to it to make up the $100,000 required. e Mr. Bronoson spoke in favour of the resolution, and the Rev. Mr. Wardrope spoke at leagth in its support. The rev, gentleman said ; The Rev. Principal Snodgrass again rose and made some further statements, to show the. amount of good done by the college, and gave an interesting. unt of the wayâ€" in which funds bad commdr its endowment, and amonget others stated that sixtyâ€" on e genâ€" tlemen in Kingston had subscribed $22,000, and it was quite probable that the sum had by this time reached $25,000, and this was in a city not rich, and with a population . of about 15,000. ‘This, he said, ought to have a good influence in other parts of the country. He also told ot a gentleman who, on the morning after the withdrawal of the grant, promised $1,000. A number of ministers had also agreed to give out of their income $100. a year for five years. One Minister preéeached & sermon on the subject, and what was the result? Why agentleman who had previousâ€" ly made up his mind subscribe ©$500 doubled the amount. Several other subscripâ€" tions were given, which our reporter did not catch. Such examples as these the speaker hast no doubt. would have their effect on Ottawa which, besides the proud position of beipg capital of the Dominion, had extensive prospects of tuturs greatness, and what Ottawa did in this matter would havo its effect on other parts of the Dominion. Moved by Ed. McGillivray," Esq., seconded by H. F. Bronson, Esq., that this meeting having beard with deep interest the statements m«:e by Principal Sunodgrass andâ€" Professor ketras, of Queen‘s University, thoroughâ€" ly approre of the action of the Synod in its determination to raise the endowment of the University, and resolve to give all possible assistance to complete the endowment, The chairmau then jntroduced the Rev. Professor Mackerras, who spokeo with great warmth and ecloquence of the usefulness of Qusen‘s College, and the large number ot faithful and zealous: Ministers of the Gospel owed their ability to do good to the education received there." He then spoke of the enthuâ€" siasm which prevailed at the Synod~lately beld in Kingston on the present position and prospects of the collego. . He thought that if it were possible for him to describe the feeling of earaest unanimity to sustain the institution in its integrity, its friends would have no doubt as to the results, He spoke as a true gon of the church, and for his alma mater, for which he felt the strongest love and attachâ€" ment, and when ho considered what she had done for himseltand forthe counitty, he felt the , strongest desire !to see her flourish. When asked where‘ did you graduate ? Should her. sons be. compelled to say in a defunct institution? , No! Queen‘s Colege must not go . down. (Chbeers.) ~He then enumerated a number of those ministers who had received their education at the oollege, and whose works were known in all parts of the country, To allow it}to be destroyed would be a shame and an insult ts the dead, who would almost arise from their graves aund cry, «" Yedegererate sons of noble sires " should such things be. Then speaking of the prospects of a suitable endowment for the institution, he said he scemed to see in its future history one of the grandest seats of learning in the country. The rer. professor concluded a very eloquent speech in a powerful appeal for the generous sympathy and aid of the friends of guperior education in enabling them to raiso a fand for the endowment of the college. 7 in furtherance of its interests; It was now proposed to place the college on a foundation which would make it independcnt of all gorâ€" ernments. This was the crisis, and it was reâ€" golred to make the best use of it. In allusion toâ€"sectarian education, the speaker said he believed that it was by denominational agenâ€" cies that the greatest amount of good ‘might be done ; for, after all, education would be iz the hands of religious teachers, â€"Theâ€" rev. gentleman concluded a long and ~eloquent speech, gaying he should have another opporâ€" tunity in the course ofthe evening of making some statements in reference to the future prospects of theinstitution. » . The Rev. Mr. Gordon, Pastor, presidcd, and after opening the mecting with prayer introâ€" duecd the Rev, Prifgipal Snodgrass, who after some preliminary remarks on the necessity of. superiof education for intellectual developâ€" ment, reviewed the history of Queen‘s Colloge from its foundation, and described its present condition. This institution commenced its existence in the year 1841 under its present comstitution, established by a Royal Charter: granted by Her Majesty the Queen,. Some time afterwards tho Government of the day did not object to afford aidâ€"for the promotion of superior eéducation, and made a grant of $2,000 a year to the college. This was conâ€" tinued for some tims, and then it was incréased to $3,000 a year. Lstertheannual grant was further increased to $4,000, and some time later another thousaqnd was added, and the yearly grant from Government became $5,000, and so continued until a few months ago whenu, without previous . warning, with the institution : in full operation, they received notice from the Legislaturo of Ontario that they need uot in . future leok to them tor aid. They thought this was not becoming in a Government that bad just come into existence for the common good. Queen‘s College, it appears, is not in favour with the prescnt. Government of Qatario. This was a serious circumstance, and whether the withdrawal of the aid, on which they had before relied, was intended as a blow aimed at the existence of the institation or not, it had the appoarance of being intended to destroy it and its wholo: history, â€" The college had already _ suffered very greatly by â€" the failure of the Commercial Bank, and the withâ€" drawal of the grant placed the institution in a gituation of the most serious cmbarrassment. Under these trying circumstances, it had been proposed to disband the faculty ofarts, but this was a matter of the gravest importance, and in view of the great benefits which had been derived from it, it was resolved, if possible, to continue the institution in its integrity. For h quarter of a centary it had afforded the inesâ€" timable benefits of a sound education to a large number of young men, who were to, be found in Canada, Australia, and othor parts of the world, to take high protessional standing, not as Ministers . of the Gospel only, but . in . other . professions as _ well., The speaker contended for the necessity of the religious eloment in education, without which it was comparatively valueless, Reâ€" ligious training, he insisted, should be comâ€" menced, and continued througbhout the entire course, In speaking of the difficulties in which they found themselves, he saidâ€" they | must not give up, and he believed their peoâ€" ple were made of sterner stuff than to allow: an institution which had dons so much good to. be destroyed. ‘They heard of merchants who, when they failed, took off their conts, and went to: work to repair their fortunes. Government did not allow ‘the failure of a particular scheme to break them up,and the friends of Queen‘s Collego would not permit the withdrawal of the â€"Government grant to diuioumge them, but wisely use this adversity A mecting was held last eveningzin the Scotch Kirk, â€" Wellington«st., iinâ€" furtherance of a movement for raising funds for the endowâ€" ment of Queen‘s College, Kingston.

He had not had the advantage of ‘hearing the former speeches. Twenty years had now passed away since he entered Queen‘s College, but he could not forâ€" get his alma mater, and he attributed the sucâ€" cess which had attended him through life to the training and the edueation he had received therc.

There we met Mr. H. A. Ross, of this city, who, from another part of the country, had likewise been attracted by the prospect of the college openâ€" ing. The next morningâ€"all strangersâ€"we did not know whither to turn for information, or to whom to apply,© Sauntering along | Kingâ€"st., we saw a name over & shop door, 4 David Christie," "The man that bears that nams," said one of our number, ought to know something about the Presbyterian Colâ€" lege." In we went, arid the owner of the name at once directed us to one whom he affirmed to be the very source and fountain of such inâ€" tormation as that which we sought. Nr. Drummond will know that we were referred ‘to the right man, when I stato that his name was Alexander Pringle. Athis office in the Court House, we were soon set all rightabout | a boarding house, about the opening of the . classes, and about . everything, in short, that it behoved us at. once to know. But, Mr. Chairman, I â€"have set off on a track, . which, unless I get shunted, I may pursue till midnight. I could tell much about the days | in which Pr. Sampson, John Cartright, David ‘ Cartright, Dr. Machar, Francis Archibald Harper, and David John Smith, were in their several ways, powers in Kingston. ‘Those are all gont now, and havre been succeeded by a new generation. . About these days, I could tell you also that John A. Macdonald was a : young lawyer, spoken of as likely to rise in‘ his profession, and Oliver Mowat, if I am not mistaken, his first student. These are still among us in the prime of strength ; and it is our hope that many days of honour and useâ€" fulness are still beforée them. Imust forbear, however ; and coming to the subject in hand, I must go on to. say that earhest men are beâ€" coming year by year mote interested in the wall%a of collegiate institutions,. And they are bécoming more thoroughly eonvinced. of the necessity of making more adequate proviâ€" sion for their maintenance. It would boe easy to refer to byâ€"gone germerations, and to remind you of the earnestness with which men like Calvin and Knox pleaded*> for a thorough education for aspirants to the ministry of the Gospel. Coming nearer our own times and our own land, we might refer to the history of the Puritans, and their first settlement in this Westere World. Without endorsing all their sentiments, or app roving of all their measures, we cannot hesitate in affirming that much of what txy said, and much of what they did, commgn our highest admiration.â€" And we rejojce ih thinking of the ‘liberty which they achieved, when, sceking T“ a‘faith‘s pure shrine," they set up in the name of God, their barners on the wild New England shore, It would be well for the neighbouring Statesâ€"it would be well for the Westernh Continentâ€"if the descendants of these Pilgrim fathers, while they speak, as they may justly do, with admiration and | gratitude, of the long continued: privations endured, and the worthy déeds performed, would at the same time more cordially cherish the sacred truths maintained by their noble ancestors. Their first settlement was truly a "day of small things.", But in studying their early history, e find the evidences of their farâ€"seoing wisdom and their selfâ€"donying zcal, in the fact that they "did not suffer a quarter of a century to elapse, from the time of their poor beginnaings at Plymouth, tefore they laid the foundations of a College for Christ and His Church." They say, in their chronicles : " After God had brought us safe to New England, and we had builded our hous=s, provided necessaries for our livelihood, erected convenient places for God‘s worship, and setâ€" tled the civil government, one of the nesxt ‘things we longed for, and looked rfter, was to advance learning, and perpetuate it to posâ€" terity ; dreading to have an ignorant ministry in the churches, when our present ministers shall be in the dust." Now, let us emulate an example so worthy of imitation. This land in which our lot is cast is, in fact, a great mnission field. And, from this stand point the vital importance of a thoroughly equipped theoloâ€" gical college may be clearly seon. © ‘Frue, this does not at once appear to superficial obseryvâ€" ers. Operating, as it does, beneath the surâ€" face of lif«‘s ordinary business, and even of the ordinary ecclesiastical and missionary proâ€" cedure, the college does not attract the notice of the masses of men, nor constrain them to say concerning its progress, " Lo, here, or 1o, there!"‘ It may fail to occupy that place which it ought to occupyâ€"which it is well entitled to occupyâ€"in the affections and ?nyers, evén of some good men. But, is the | oundation essential to a building? Is the root essential to a tree? Evon so must we | hold thatthe college, in its unobtrusive, but effective and most beneficent operation, is essential to the extension of the church, and to the publishing of the glad tidings of salvaâ€" tion to as many as her voice can reach throughout the land. « The resolution was then put and carried, . Moved by Dr. Grant, seconded by Mr. Drummond, that a subscription list be now opened on behalf of the endowment of Queen‘s University, and that the following committee be appointed to golicit and receive subscrip. tions from the citizens of Ottawa, viz: Hon.
