Sunday being the anniversary of the “relief of Derry,” the event was commemorated by the Apprentice Boys at Londonderry. The members of the various clubs, numbering about 100, marched in procession to the meet- ing-house of the First Presbyterian congre- gation, decorated with crimson sashes, rib- buns, medals, and other insignia of their order. At the Presbyterian Church a sermon was preached by the Rev. R. Smyth, the minister. Early on Sunday morning flags were hoisted on “’alker’s Monument, and on the enclosure called the Irish Society’s Bastion. The flag on the monument was displayed in the same spot which was occupied the other week by the Orange flag intended to insult the judges, . but the flag of Sunday was crimson,not Orange. l It bore in the centre the figures 1688. It is the custom to hoist crimson tlags on the church as well. It appears, however, that Dr. Hig- gin, Bishop of Derry and Raphoe, signified his desire that no flags should be displayed on the church, and that the joybells should not be rung. \Vith regard to the joybells, the apprentice boys managed either to ring them, or to have them run; in spit of the right rev Prelate ; and although the parties knew of the Bishop’s wishes, up went a crimson flag over the chancel window of the cathedral. The Bishop promptly ordered it to be removed. It was hauled doivn forthwith ; but after a brief interval it was displayed anew. With the banner, the roof of the church displayed a number of the brethern, and they declared that they would not take down the flag. The Bishop sent for the police, but it is said that the constables declined to interfere, on the ground that the Dean and (Ehurchwardens, an---" and not Dr. Htgotn, were the persons who 25 could legally authorize the forcible removal of the offensive emblem. The Dean was not. in town, and rumor says the Churchwardens took part with the apprentice boys. The flag remained, and while service was gorng for- ward in the church underneath, the appren- tice boys might be seen clustered on the roof above. C-vw 'vvâ€" -~‘ _â€"â€" According to usual custom on the eve of .the 12th‘August, four orange and blue flags «.were, on Saturday night, hoisted upon the tower of the Protestant church at Enniskillen, also a large banner, with the inscription “No Popéryi’ floated from the summit of the main 4...

Notwith- standing the remonstrance of the Bishop, the flags continued to float from the church steeple until a late hour in the evening. The Catho- lics took no notice of the proceedings. - The return match between Durham and Mount Forest clubs took place on the ground of the former, 1.:st Saturday, the lst inst.â€" The day was remarkably fine, with a gentle, bracing breeze, which no doubt tended to nerve the players for this well contested match. Durham won the toss, and sent M’r Forest to the wickets, to the bowling of W. .. - "J, spi‘re. It was then proposed to give three cheers in commemoration of the “great and glorious revolution of ‘88,” and also to claim their “legal right” of ascendancy over Pope and Popery. The bells rang with great fury. ' D. Jackson, junr’s, who sent the bails and stumps flying like nine-pins. Had it not been for the grand score made by Capt. Bar- reto, Mount Forest would have met certain defeat ; their total score being 39, while Capt. Barretto made 21 of that number. The latter was cleverly caught by J. Miller, as 318v were Yarlett and Wilkes, by D. Jackson and A. Paterson. THE STANDARD. The Durhamites then took bat, to the bowl- ing of Ashley and Yarlett, who retaliated on their opponents by disposing‘of them in an almost equally summary manner to what they themselves had been dealt with ; the score being 49. Both parties then repaired to the British Hotel, where a sumptuous lunch was prepar- ed for them, and to which the morning’s ex- ercises added considerable relish. The Mount Foresters again took bat, and scored 53. In this innings Messrs. Wilkes, Yarlett, and Lewis, distinguished themselves. The Durhamites then went in, and would have easily scored a majority, had not W. Jackson bCen put out illegally. Those who were standing close by, assert that the wick- et;keeper put his hand in front of the wick- et and drew a passing ball into the wicket. Be the latter part as it may, having his hand in front of the wicket looked suspicious, and according to the established rules on cricket- mg, the player is not out, aithough the ball should hit the wicket, if the wicket-keeper has his hands in front of the wicket. Dr. ‘Ecroyd, umpire for Mount Forest, decided “ out?’ notwithstanding the illegality of the action. T. Gordon, Esq., of Owen Sound, ' 1’ Durham, declared it “ not out. ” Had the real truth been known at the time, u was afterward; admitted, he would have -44 v"_____ iii his innings. He had already scored 11, making a three-run, and three double runs.â€" This increased the anxiety to get him out..â€" Another difficulty occurred relative to a Wide Bailywhich occurred in the last innings of the Durham Club.‘ The umpires disagreed as to ORANGE DISPLAYS IN LONDONDERRY.

We argue that Mr. Yeomans had no right or authority to make a criminal case of this cause; for if Mr. Fursman and the Editor of the Durham STANDARD did villifv and defame a Pillar of the Church, that Pillar ought to have brought a civil action in the Court of Queen’s Bench for damages. This did not suit the sanctimonious gentlemen; for, if a jury considered that the contents of Mr. Furs- man’s letter were true, or that Yeomans had received no damage thereby, a verdict would have been given for defendants, and plaintiff to pay costs: this is the reason a warrant was issued to apprehend the parties mention- ed above. Had the magistrates committed defendants to stand their trial at the Court of Queen’s Bench, no jury could have 'given a verdict against them, and the County would have had to pay the costs, and pretty heavy ones they would have been, we can assure iyou. Total . . The great libel case is at an end ; the pub- lic naturally expected such high-handed ac- tion would result in something astounding; but alas! they have been miserably disap- pointed, for poor Jacob, after puffing and blowing, has burst himself like the frog in the fable ; and has not, like the mountain in labor, brought forth a single mouse. A tree is known by its fruit, and a man is known by his actions ; therefore we think the $30 note of hand threw more light upon the motives of “ holy Willy,” than any thing we can write. Had the Editor of the STAND- ARD given thirty dollars, there would not, in all probability, have been a second trial, and Mr. Yeomaus would have pocketed $50 for nothing, as we are very certain $10 would have covered the costs. Mr. F ursrnan is de- termined not to pay the note he gave, and no one can blame him; he never received any value, and it was not only a shameful action, but a criminal one, to extort thirty dollars from a poor honest farmer [even admitting that he was wrong,] for six or seven dollars of costs; for charge as they liked, the costs could not exceed what is stated above.

The werk on the Durham Road West rs steadily progressing ; and by the first of Nov- ember the greater portion of the road be- tween here and Hanover Will be completed. On the east there are five or six miles graveled between this and Priceville. The remainder would have been finished ere this had not some of the sub-contractors failed in their agreement. That portion finished and finishing by Messrs. E. McDonald and E. B. McMillan, is satisfactory in the highest de- gree. If the roads throughout are finished in [a similar manner, we will have little. cause for complaint. We learn that eight or ten miles'are finished in Artemesia, and a con- siderable portion in Osprey. The efficient Inspector on this portion of the line, will no doubt secure the interests of the County. 21111- deed the only fault that can be found,may be directly attributed to the people,in not han- ing made a better selection of officers. ‘ The bridges are a noticeable, and pleasing feature "in the work. “’3 learn that there has been cbnsiderable miscalcu‘ration, which will be noticed in due time. ' To‘.‘ 0 o o o o ‘rESQ Containing extracts from Chief Superin- tendent’s School Reports. (coNTINUED) 137 “ It certainly is a reproach to us that more than four hundred children of school age are growing up in the old, rich, and in many respects flourishing Township of York, without deriving that benefit from our excel- lent school system, which it is so desirable they should receive, in commOn with others : and it is exceedingly painful to know that the principal cause of their misfortune is the in- difference and carelessness of their parents.” 138 “The number of non-attendants, al- though large, is less than reported last year The cause is generally attributed by Trustees to the indtflerence of parents; but I believe it would be more correct to impute it to sor- did parsimony, which I think would be enâ€" tirely removed if the Free System was made imperative or obligatery, c.” 139 “In section No. 18 there are 40 chil- dren reported as not attending school, I have referred to this in a n‘arginal note to have referred to this in a n‘a‘rginal note to the general remarks; the truth is I had be come tired of coming the trustees ever ready answer of . carelessness. -It might with] more propriety be referred to a lazy negli-l geuce that pervades all classes'ot' the inhah- i itants, teachers. trustess, parents and chil- dren; nothing less than a legal remedy will ever be efliceut.” This last gent seems to to lay about him without respect to rersons. He seems to be quite in a pet with the In- habitants about the result of the ‘ system;’â€"â€"- Is the quality so highly recommended, and required in a teacherâ€"4 calm temper ’â€"-â€"not appr opriate to the office of sub â€"supe rintendent? But some others do not seem quitefso hard upon the ‘ parents ’â€"â€"and indeed, some af- pear to be reasonableâ€"(if that can be al lowed to .be the cause, when the ‘ system ’ should Sufferthrough their remarks) in offer- ing areason or reasons for the non-attendance Of the children at the schools. 140 “ ‘ * * ’ * the Trustees-gem‘ erally attribute ( ‘ ’ * * *‘ ) want of attendance to indifference on the part of par- ents and others having the charge of youth â€"â€" I take leave, however, to say, that I am‘ of a different opinion. Itappcars to me, there is get erally' an Increasing,r desire amongâ€"t all class‘in this municipality to' secure the best education that can be obtained for the rising generation. The statementof Trustees may be accurate in reference to the children of laborers who are engaged in railroad opera- tions. But the residence of these in. this 10-, cality is only temporary. A‘s respects those who permanently reside in the settlement, the cause of non-alts ndance is distance from the school house, unpopularity of the teacher or necessary engagement in agricultural-or other pursuits.” New this is where the peo- ple have a desire to obtain education. Is not the site of the school house prescribed and determined by the ‘system?’ Is not the teacher hired by these Whom the act ern- powers so to do? If .thepeople .had the con- trol of their schools would an unpopular teacher be retained? Does this evidence speak in favor of the ‘ system ’ as affording or providing ‘facilities’ ‘for the education of each child in a section ?’ ‘ I ‘ ' each child in a section ?’ 142 “ I have much pleasure in stating the free school system prevails here; and a1-' though it is lamentable to observe a large number of children of prOper age in me town- ship do not attend, it is not entirely ow ing to the indiflerence of parents, but 1n most cases .1 to the want of efficient teachers , 052.8. "â€" Does the free system seem to give pleasure to the people,as well as to the superintendant? VVho,is it most reasonable to suppose,â€"chief- ly lament that the children do not attend for ‘ want of efficient teachers ’â€"those who have much 'pleasure that the system prevailsâ€"or those who have. to pay to the support “rafa system from which they derive no benefits? Howeveryis not‘the fault of non-attendance here,â€"in some cases at. leastâ€"taken ofl‘ the people, and in most cases placed upon the ‘ system 2’ 143 “ There are considerable numbers of children not attending schools. Alt-boogh the reason generally assigned is Undiffer- ence’ on the part of parents, yet there are other causes operating. In some instances children are kept at home to work ; or they may live at too great a distance from school ; an some are kept away when a rate of Is 3d per month is exacted for their attendance.”â€" But it seems they would be sent if the school were free. . What generous andliberal mind- ed friends of education such advocates of the ‘ system’ as the parents of these children, must be. They will send if other people have to pay the school rate; but will keep their children away if they have to pay a trifle per month for their attendance; 0 course they are not then unatural parents Total .........

' 144 “ In some cases a change of teachers and in others awant of confidence in them, have contributed to interfere with the attend: ance and progress of the 'pupils.” Is not the fault here, again, directly charged to the ‘ system ’2’ If a parent were at liberty to se- lect his own teacherâ€"is it possible he would l select one in whom he could not place con- fidence? But when the parent has no choice .but to take the one selected for him by other peopleâ€"or have none; and when such one so selected has not the confidence of the parâ€" ent, â€"what alternativeâ€"what other portion of liberty, is left, to the parent, under the‘ sys- tem,’ but .0 keep his child away from such a teacher? And 15 it not perfectly right that he should do so, if he think proper? 145 “One objection often urged for not sending,“ is distance. In many cases this is just;‘and is a difficulty which cannot be easi- ly overcome for the-*present, 8m.” Why ?â€" Is not the ‘ system ’ able? If not then why oblige the people to support it? 146 “ The irregularity arises from differ- ent causes, the services of the larger children being required during summer and autumn months for hay-making and harvesting, 8w. ; and the smaller children, during the season of bad roads, are unal le to attend, on account of the distance to the school-houses.” 147 “I am glad to say that the public generally take interest in education, but in consequence of '_iucompetent teachers, and ineificient and obstinate Trustees,the progress of the common school system has been re- tarded in several sections.” As. these teach- ers and trustees are parts of the ‘ system ’ (not separate machines; is not this equivalent to saying that the ‘system ’ itself retards its own progress?

At the levee Of His Royal Highness at Sherbrcoke, there occurred the following PLEAstc INCIDENT. At the close of this levee the voice of Col- onel or Captain Moore was heard. Colonel by reason of his militia ran‘r; Captain, be- cause he is‘a retired naval officer. “ Cheer,” he loudly cried, “ for'just'ice has at last been done to as brave an officer as ever stepped the quarter deck.” He said a few words more, but they were unintelligible, beingr either choked by emotion or drowned in the cheers which immediately burst forth. Pro- ceeding to the spot to learn if any one were mad or drunk, the writer heard that this was not the causeof the commotion, but that i‘. was from the following; circumstance: John Felton, commOnly called old Squire Felton in his own district, was signal ‘-midslnpman on Nelson’s flag ship, the'Viclory, at the battle of Trafalgar. He was also at the battle of Copenhagen, and ”wears medals for bravery at both those actions. At the blockade ofI Gaudaloupe, 'West- Indies, in 18:26, :he was the officer of the watch onboard'the Clerical-x, sloop-o‘fâ€"w‘afi-w’hen she struck ~(Sn-a rock and was wrecked. On the court martial, which was of course subsequently held, there "were some enemies of» yOung Felton’s, and, per- haps to their personal hostilityâ€"perhaps tor the fact that-court martials’were‘ net held in l those days with so much care for the; ends of justice as now, he owed it that, althofigh the ‘ wreck was caused by circumstances beyond 7 his control, he was dismissed the serviceâ€"~- . His prospects were. thus at once destroyed, land .~ he finally emigrated to ‘ this Country, where fer-feur and thirty years he has lived respected." His Royal Highness having been made awareof the hardships of Mr Felton’s case, not by him, for hesufiered rnicomplain-â€" ingly, chose this day 'as the occasion for ex- ercising the prerogative delegated by Her Majesty to him, and when the old man pre-i .Sented himself at the receptiOn, not only re- ceived him with the greatest cordiality, speaking 'to him kindly words, but intimating that from that moment he was restored to the pdsitiou he had last. This it‘ was which caused the ebullition of feeling on the” part of his brother sailor, Captain Moore, and the cheering on that'of the crowd. ,‘ The act was in itself graceful,it was gracefully. perform. ed, "and it was theroughly appreciatedâ€"â€" Every one looked delighteds. ~~Mr Feltun could not conceal his pleasure. though he triedto look unmoved, and Mrs'Fe‘lton i’ooked ather husband with more than usual pride as she and, he were receiving the 'Cbhir'ratula- tions of the peOple. - - ‘9 ‘ OTTAWA, August 31.

A great and handsome gothic arch had 5 been built at the entrance to the grounds, and l insi lei, at the spot where the ceremony was to take place, was a gothic canopy, immedi- ately in front of which. and over the stone,l was a gigantic crown. Around the s'one was t a rai‘ing, painted white. outside this an open ‘ space for the Press and a few privileged indi- : vidnals, while surrounding this central space, canopy and all, was tier upon tier of seatsu capable of accommodating several thousands. all filled with ladies and gentlemen. On each side of the road leading to this amphitheatre were platforms for children, and for those who could not be acccornmodated within it, while bands of’ music, companies of volunteers, hosts of lumberers in scarlet shirts, Orange Societies from the townships, mounted and clad in’ Orange robes. Parties of the Roman Catholic clergy, c., c., were in their as- signed positions in the line of march. The, day was tine, and the scene consequently magnificent. Punctual to the hour His Royal l Highness arrived, followed by the Governort General; soon afterwards came the Duke of Newcastle, Lord. St. Germains, Gen. Bruce, Gen. \Villiams, Lord Mulgrave, Sir Allan N. Macnab, Col. Tache, Major Teesdale ”and Capt.

Council, :of the prayer. Then‘ thel Prince and the chief members of his suite ad- vanced/to ,t‘he stone. It Was cf beautiful - white Canadian marble, or crystalized lime-l stone, brought from Portage du Fort, and on! it was the simple inscription, “This corner! stone of the building intended to receive the Legislature. of Canada, was laidfby, Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, on the 1st day of September, 1860.” It was suspended from the centre of the great Crown previously mentioned by a pulley running round a gilded block. Under it was a similar cube of the white Nepeanlimestone which the future building is to be faced With; a cavity in which was placed a- glass bottle; in the bot. the was a parchment scroll inscribed thus: “The foundation stone of the Houses of Par- liament, in the Province of Canada, was laid on. the first day of September, in the year of Din": Lord 1860, in the 24th yearcf Her Ma- jeSty’s reign, at the City of ‘Ottawa, by’ His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales.” The names of all the members of the Legislative Assembly, the names _ of all the members of the Government QfCana-dfiitthefnames of the architects, c._,con1rac'ors,â€" c.

Immediately after the Prince and his suite drove to Major’s Hill, on which the Gover- nnr’s residence is being built, where a num- ber of tents bpinnqingto the militia from a distance are pitched on the green sward, under the trees.

It was a most successful affair. The npmhers stood I IIIIII U around four long tables, covered with delica- cres, and at t‘-e head. on a large platform, was a cross table, at the middle of which the Prince sat, at the ends the newly-knighted Speakers. and between them the whole of the Royal pnrtv. After a reasonable time. the Governor General gave “the Queen,” Sir Narcisse Belleeu “the Prince Consort,” nml Sir Henry' Smith. calling: for a bumper, "Hi- Royal Highness the Prince of \Vales.” Tho cheering,r at each of these was really extraor- dinary for its heartinesq and vigor. Next His Royal Highness rote and saidâ€"“I propose the health of the Governor General and the House of the. Legislature.” With one accord the company sprang: up, and a cheer burst faith which must hare' rang in the Prince’s ens for an hour. After bowing: he then left. In a couple of hours the Royal party took horse and rode in plain clothes to the Chau- diere, where they admired the falls, the sus- pension b-idge, and the beautiful lumberers’ arch. containing no lc<s than 19.000 feet of deal boards, which now forms a portal to it. A novel and exciting incident now occurred. Dismountinz. the who‘e of the party, excent- ing Lord St? Germains, walked along a boom to a crib, which wa: moored at the entrance of the timber slide. A slide. every body should know, is an inclined plane, with sev- eral feet of water rushing over it, forming a water-way down which the crib; can - psss without damageâ€"thus avoiding water lalls like the Chaudiere, where they would be broken and the timber injured. A crib con- , sists of stieas of timber of any length. form- ling a small raft twenty-five feet wide, the i longitudinal sticks having pieces fixed across =them to tie them, as it were, together; the l crib when fairly launched goes down the slide ' with great velocity. the water rushing over the forward part, and sometimes dashing over the men upon it. On each side of the slide, on this occasion, were thousands of people. and the r umerous bridges which crossed were alive with human beings. \Vhen the Royal crib got under way and shot down past or below them, these people cheered and waved their handkercheifs, and the most in- tense excitement prevailed; for, although there is really little danger, yet accidents somtimes happen, and in every case the pass- engers who try this mode of locomotion for the first time, have to brace their nerves and clench their lips, and stand firm lest the via bration and the shocks which the crib always receives, should make them lose there foot- and when Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, was to undergo this novel experience, how much greater than usual wa e inrerest taken in the running of the crib. werything luckly went well, both with the Prince’s raft and with that which, carrying the leading members of the Press, immediately followed. The whole of both parties were delighted. After the rapid descent the cribs followed in- to the centre of the bay at the foot the Chaudiere, and there they found their; e V5;- surrounded by a hundred birch canoes man- ned by lumberers in scarlet shirts and white trowsers. The Prince got into oueialone, the rest of his suite and the newspaper writers into others, and all were paddled to a beauti-t l ful island in the centre of the lake-like ex- ‘panse. There they sat on the grass or strol- inur ' R ‘ led about and busied themselves with sketch- ing the lovely scene. The Prince’s physician and the Duke’s Secretary are both accomplish- ed artists. After a short but agreeable inter-. val of repose a barge with a blue silk canopy appeared, manned by half a dozen gentlemen ' of thecity in blue silk? blouses and white trousers, and the Prince, stepping into this, was rowed to a large scow, whence the can-. see which intended racing, were to start.â€" Clamberiug to its deck by the assistance of the boat’s crew, who had to lift him shoulder high, he had a good view ofthe course. Ncr were the arrangements at all exclusive, but all who chose went on board too, and it is very creditable to the people that the license was notâ€"abused, and that .not the slightest in- : convenience resulted. Six canoes started for . the first race,10 for the second,9 for the third. r. Tzhecourse was'pmbably a mile-reach way. : The lumberers paddled .well, magnificently 2 even. There must have been 2,000 people f in small boats on the water,72,000 more in the 2 half dozen steamers which were plying, 90,-. l 000 on the heights on either side, and when l the winners in each race came in, and the ' Prince clapped his hands applaudingly, they . all participated in his evident delight, and - took up the applause in one tremendious l cheer.
