OUR COUNTY RAILWAY—NEW EN-GINES.

We understand that four or five locomotivesarc at prcBent being mado for this railway .Trade is so bad at the other side of the water,this is a most opportune time to make new pur-chases. We may also mention that a newsteamer is also ordered for the Waterford Steam-ship Company. We have heard that the CountyRailway will be constructed, in the very beatpossible manner, for £10,000 a mile, which ia,indeed, very cheap, considering that other locallines cost twice that sum. We hope the terminuswill be located, where projected, in Mary-street ,in this city, which is a most convenient localityfor all purposes. Above Bilberry, would boagainst all reason. The carriages will be runningbetween Waterford and Lismore for certain, inJune, or £vst of July at farthest.

THE NATIONAL BANKThe report of the annual meeting of the National

Bank, held yesterday in London, will be road withthe greatest satisfaction by the shareholders of thiagroat and truly National concern. The Chairmanhad only to tell that tale of unchecked and unbrokenprosperity which has marked the *eccnt history ofthe Hank. The Chairman, in his statement, drewattention to the notorious fact that Ireland hadduring the past year'not been in a sound andprosperous condition. Tho tillage farmers havesuffered considerably, the graziers have, not done aswell as in former years, the fanners, instead ofudding to their deposits, have in many cases beenobliged to draw on them to meet tho necessities oftheir business. Again, during the year tho rateof interest has been very low. A falling off in theprofits of the Bank might under these circumstanceshave been expected ; but what has really happened ?Tho result of 'the operations is what the Chairmantruly termed " tbe reassuring and gratifying

." fact that the gross earnings of the Bank" during, tho half-year which has just expired" are a few hundreds in excess of the corres-" ponding period of last year." Commenting onthis tho Chairman said : " It is impossible to cito" a more substantial and unquestionable proof of" the vitality and earning power of the Bank than" that remarkable fact, because if ever there was a" time when wo might have been led to expect" some serious diminution in our accounts of profit" and loss, it was certainly during tho present year," owing to tho circumstances to which I have" adverted." We congratulate the Bank on theposition of prosperity which was given by theChairman's speech, and above all on tho termina-tion of litigation in which it was so long involved.

THE FRAUDS ON LORD CHARLESBEEESFORD.

At Hampshire Assizes, Monday, OmFat, a youngChinaman, was indicted boforo Justice Meller, onseveral chages of forgery, with intent to defraud hismaster. Lord Chas. Beresford, Commander of H.II. S. Thundevtr. It appeared tho prisoner wasbought of his father in China by LordCh'arle3 somenine years ago, for twenty-five dollars. He provedan apt servant, and under his master's tuition bo-came an expert penman, and his duties includedtaking charges of Lord Charles' cheque-book. Hebegan forging in 1874, since which time he has de-frauded his master of upwards of JB1.40O, his planbeing to tear out a cheque and counterfoil, andmake" tho forgery payable to self, signing LordCharles's name, the forgery being snehas almost todefy detection. He would destroy the vouchers asthey were returned from tho bank, andit was onlyby accident that the frauds wero descovered. Hepleaded guilty to threo charges. Justice Mellor toldthe prisoner that his skill in penmanship was a re-markablo gift, and, by a clever imitation of his mas-ter's name, he had proved himself to be a dangerousperson, whom he ought not to let loose on society.His Lordship then senteneed him to five yearspenal servatude for each of the thrco charges whichprisoner hod admitted, but ordered tho senence tobe concurrent, the term thus virtually being fiveyears.

RUPTURE IN THE MINISTRY.LONDOX, FRIDAY MORNINO.—It is stated that

the resignation of Lord Carnarvon was yesterdayaccepted by her Majesty, and that his lordship hasnow" broken, thereby, with the Ministry. Aserious rupure is also reported to hive taken placebetween tie Premier and Lord Derby, who has ton-dcred his resignation. Mr. Gladstone was tolegrap-ed to last night, and he replied that he should re-turn at once to town. It was rumoured that theWhigs will not oppose the War Vote, but whetherthey do or not, it will meet with determined oppo-sition from the Radicals on Mnoday next.

THE CORPORATION-THIS DAT.THE TBAMWAY QUESTION AGAIN.

The Right Worshipful Aid. MANNING in the choir.Aldermen—W. K. Commins, T. Purcoll, ox-Qayor, C.

Redmond, T. W Jacob, J.P., R. Power, L. A. Ryan,P. A. Power, J.P. Councillors—W. KeUy.-MickaofO'Meara, P. D. Walsh, J.P., J. O'Reilly, E. C. Fielding,L. Freeman, M. J. Cox, J. Leamy, R. W. Cherry, J.Clampett, 0. Whito, J. H. McGrath, W. Q. D. Goff , H.G&Uwey, J.P. Mr. Fraier, C.E., Engineer to the Com-pany, and Mr. G. Willis, secretary ditto, were present,as also were Mr. J. Dolahuntyj M.P., City Treasurer,and Mr. R. H. Ryan, City Engineer. :

The business for which the Council was convonedwas. to act- npon tho report of the committed appointedto consider tho Bill of tho County Railway Com-pany to moke an extension, and to construct trunwaysalong Uio Quays.

Tho special committoo, having tho matter in ehargo,reported, aa read by Mr. MuUally, acting for the TownClerk, in favour of having the tramways connected withthe railway, and that a portion of game, being outsidetho borough, should be mado by the County GrandJury ; they recommended the Corporation to agree totho city portion, on tho company giving them compensa-tion of X500 a yoar for the loss ot tho use of the Mar-ket-house, and for other expenses; on their re-inajrtinga clau80 giving the City Grand Jury the power to nomi-nate four directors of tho company, and one oondedingtho corporation the right to maka bye-laws relating tothe traffic of that part of tho quay. \

Mr. MOLLALT read a letter from Mr. Willis, secretaryto the company, on tho part of his directors, offering.£100 a year, as compensation for tho Market House, andanothor i!10>0 a year when tho company would be payinga dividend of 6 per cent. The directors recognised theright of tho Corporation to make bye-laws, but said theycould not agree to tho clause ai to tbe four diroctdrs.

Aid. RYAN, in somo lengthened observations, said thecompensation offered by the company was simply ridi-culous, and he would sn££cst, opposed as he wu totramways there, that they adjourn for a few days toallow tbe company to reconsider tho matter. . i

Mr. FtSHEK seconded the suggestion of adjournment,adding that Mr. Willis's letter be referred to the Corpo-ration Railway Committee. ¦ . . . i

Aid. REDMOND said ho supported a tramway sclemefor the city in 1874, and he had no reason to changa hisopinion since. Tramways wero useful and successful inLondon, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dublin, and even on thodocks of Liverpool, the greatest place of heavy trafflo inthe empire, and he thonghtthey would be equally uiefulin Waterford, where they would rather serve than injurethe markets on tho Quay. Even on UM narrow qiaysof Wexford, tho tramways (promoted by'lhe DnblintandWicklow Railway) were a great success at present (hear,hear).1

¦ ¦ ¦ IMr. GOIT fas a director of the company) said it pas

quite impossible to restore to the city the power to nomi-nate four, directors, and unless that demand was aban-doned, there was no use in sending the matter bacitotho directors. . . t . 7 ¦

Aid. R.POWEB strongly objected to agreeing to thecompany's making theso tramways. . ' '.

• Mr. KIOSK said if it was tho question of adjourn-ment which was before the council they wero out',oforder in discussing the general question of tramways.

Ald. RtAY said when he Bpote of adjournment, hedid not mean to ihut ont discussion, he thought it im-portant that the question should now be disonsaed. ' \

Mr. CLAMPBTT opposed the tramways in a length-ened apeeob, and told tho council that the shippers ofWaterford were against the project altogether. ' • : ¦ , !

Aid. P. A. POWZB said he had heard Mr. Clampott'sspeech, and he felt it oould well have been delivered totheir grandfathers (laughter), '• They wore now gettingtraffic from WexfordandKilkennyooantieswhicunBvircame to them befero, and it wa».their duty to give everyfacility for tho carriage »f those goods to the shippinghear, hear). . • • ¦ ¦

¦ ' : j.Mr. GALLTSXT strongly objected to the proposition

of the company, holding th»t this was solely an cxtea-sion of the railway proposed for the benefit of the coo-pany alone, and not for the benefit of the city (hear), |

Ald.TlBDMOND followed, and said that the tramwayswere not complained of, but looked upon rather as aboon, on the narrow' quays of Dnblin. He said it walidle [to think of the' corporation taking them up; n*corporation had done so (hear), s' .. • • : : :¦ ¦.; ', : ¦ \'

Mr. Ktoos said he did sot believe , the tramway*would be any injury to the interests of the citizens.!.To be surê

the promoters were trying to serve tfcem^selves in this project—and what boay should not do so

. fairly ?—hot they were also serving the interests' of tho1,

city. He believed that £100 a year was too small asum-for compensation, and he thought a reasonable amountWould bo J6350 (hear,hear). .,'. ,' , • ! , ' :

ifr. DJLABONTT, M.P.,.being invited.to speak on'the question, said the county n̂d city-ratepayer* were'determined to oppose this bill, for they regarded it as an,invasion of tha standing order, of "67. : ,

¦¦ Already they, ,had lodged a memorial against it on standing: orders,

and he felt convinced that even if it came up on a secondreading in the House of Commons, he would be able tothrow it out. . . . . .. .;, ' — ' . j :':. . IM ., } ¦ :¦

L O C AL I T E M SDASTARDLY ODTBAQSB AT MUXLINAVATT.—Late

on Thursday nigbt, Mr. Ryan's haystack, situate atPark, near Mullinavatt, was set on fire, and overthree quarters of it burned. Sub-constables JohnKelly, Mulligan, and Sheil, saved over a ton and ahalf. A widow named Rcardon and her two daugh-ters rosido next to Ryan, and alight was, at sametime, attached to the house of theso defenceless andharmless people, but fortunately discovered in timoto save the premises. On Monday night an out-house belonging to Mr. P. McDonald, Ballintlea,near Mullinavatt, was thrown down, and tho cow-shed so rooted in its foundation, that it was a merechance it did not fall on twenty-seven head ofcattle. In somo turf, the proprietor found a vesselof paraffin oil, from which it is apparent tho in-cendiaries wero disturbed in their nefariouB opera-tions. Constable Twiss has this matter in hands.Many farmers are about insuring their property,whilst others pass the night with loaded firearms intheir hay-ricks. Mullinavatt is progressing !

THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.—At the examinationslast week, at the King and Queen's College ofPhysicians, Dublin, Mr. Thomas F. Arthur,L.R.C.S.I., son of Mr. Martin Arthur, Thomas-street, Waterford, obtained his diploma of physician,passing in a distinguished manner, being severalpoints higher on the list than his next successfulcompetitor. He was equally so in midwifery, andwas specially complimented by tho professors—amarked honor rarely bestowed. Dr. Arthur is a de-cided credit to this, his native city.

AN ASSAULT.—Whilst two men were "beering"in a public-house in Michael-street, on Mondaynight, they quarrelled over the respective merits oftwo captains at present in charge each of a cross-channel steamer. It went to blows, when one, aman named Hawkins, received a stroke of a pint onthe forehead, which necessitated his removal tohospital. His presumed assailant is under the eyesof the police.

A SAD ACCIDENT.—An inquest was held on lastFriday evening, at the Leper Hospital, by E. N.Power, Esq.. coronor, on view of tb£ remains of arespcctablo farmer named Brown, from Rathpatrick,in tho county of Kilkenny, who was brought to theinstitution on the previous Monday, suffering froma gunshot wound in one of his legs. It appearsthat on the Sunday Mr. Brown took out his gun toshoot crows on his farm, and whilst getting over ahedge, with the muzzle towards bis body, thetrigger caught in a bramble; it went off, and thecontents lodged in the leg, shattering it fearfully. :Surgical aid was brought to him from Waterford as'soon as possible, and next day he was removed tohospital. Despite every help that skill, aided bycare, could give, the leg got into that conditionthat amputation was necessary. Tho operation wasperformed, but the poor fellow sank, and died on;Thursday night. Tbo jury found a verdict ofi" Accidental Death." Deceased was a fine young'man, aged 35, and was married within the posttwelvemonths.

IBI8H BILLS IN PARLIAMENT.—The Chairman ofCommittees in both Houses of Parliament met onMonday for the purpose of deciding as to the Housein which tbe bills Bhould originate, and the fojlo*-ing are amongst thoso ordered to commence in theHouse of Lords:—Southern Railway, Waterford andCentral Ireland Railway, Waterford and LimerickRailway,' Waterford and Wexford Railway, Water-ford Corporation Water and Improvement, Water-ford, Dungarvan, and Lismore Railway Extension,and Waterford City Tramway. The Cork andWaterford Direct Eailway, and the Cork, Fermoy,and Waterford Junction Bills, aro withdrawn.

CHEAP HEATINO APPARATUS.—WO have 6eensome very cheap ¦ and useful heating apparatus,at the establishment of Mr. Hugh- McClean, 3,Little Qeorge's-street, in this city. They can beheated, -with only a trifling expense, by eitherwater, pas, or oil, in city or countav.

STONK THROWING &O".—Inlon altercation on Thurs-day betweon two boya in tho Manor, one of them namedHennessy, hit his opponent, named Manahan, a blow ofa stone in ono of tho eyes. Manahan was taken at onceto Dr. Whito, who stated his fear that tho sight wasdestroyed. ; Stone-throwing has become a fearful ID-sancein tho city, and, with it," wo have another nuisance,that of pitch-and-toss in the public streets, particularlyon the Sunday, in which very reputable postimo thoiuveiilo gamblers indulge in any amount of blasphemy.No later than a couple of days sinco a party of four ill-clad, shoeless gamins were at this nefarious practice,when one of them, having thrown his com at tho mark,turned round to a passer-by, and said to him in would-belugubrious tonoa—"For G——sake, sir, will you giveme ahalfponuy to get a ha'porth of bread ; I'm hungry."Of coarse he didn't got it, but fancy such rearing in thepresent ago.

RATHER UNPLEASANT.—Not many weeks sinco abuxom damsel in this city named Kirby, living in a laneoff Miohael-stroet, married a Welsh son of Neptune,named Walmsley. The honeymoon was real sweet untilMonday last ; on that day adark cloud fell on tho happybrido's prospects. Sitting at dinner with her dear Taffya knock camo to the door. WalmBloy, male, oponed it,when in walked a sturdy femalo announcing herself asthe original W. Femme, and, of . conrso, claimed tho taras her own. Equally as a matter of course the 'recentlymado bride denounced the olaim; it was stoutly re-,asserted~6y &a oUimaiit.and,-words bclng. no ~ nsc, attho capillary attractions they wentatonce with the digits.The Benediot/not f eoling, by any means flattered st thiscontention for his ownership, quickly and quietly badeoff, and has lain hidden ever since How tho claim hasbeen settled remains to be seen. ¦

METROPOLITAN AMUSEMENTSTHEATRE ROYAL.—Under the very spirited;and

enterprising management of Hit. M. Goun, T.C., theintelligent and admirably-adapted proprietor of thisunrivalled Theatre, the very gorgeous pantomime of" Cinderella, or Harlequin, Fairy Fancy, tho Baron,the TwinB, and the Magic Gloss Slipper," has been pro-duced at this house in a manner whioh only tho, un-equalled dimensions of its magnificent stago .wouldpermit. I noed scarcely remind youthatthis isthe somepantomimo which, for the first time in the history ofWaterford, was produced at your handsome' littleTheatre this year, but of course on a much moremoderate scale than it has boon presented to tbo resi-dents and visitors to Dnblin ; and I am happy to Baythat the enterprising entertainment of the Messrs.Gunn is meeting withliighly-deservod success. Mrs. M..Gunn (her only appearance thia season, and who playsthe part at her own express desire), as tho handsomoand fascinating "Cinderella," is ample attraction inherself to crowd any house, even of the Kreitfdimensionsof tho Royal, and I am happy to say : that is beingaccomplished every evening (Friday, the 25th, being acommand night by tho Lord lieutenant, for whioh nearlyevery Boat in the dress circle is engaged). . I would takethis opportunity to notice thatthe pantomime is largelypatronised by the nobility, gentry,, and clergy of Ire-land, and by all olasses and creeds, and as tt will runfor eleven weeks, from the 26th Dooomher, all will havea chanoe to BBO the gorgeous spectacle, '

THE QUEEN'S THitATBr.—At this establishment, amost striking and attractive pantomimS has been pro-duced, under the spirited 'management of Mr. Pope,entitled "The Man in the Moon." The pioce hasspecial attractions, from tho fact that the scene is alllaid in Ireland, and theactora are all ot a rare Irish type,which will be at once known when I state that theirleaders are Mr. and Mrs. Charles Sullivan', the re-nowned Irish, comedians, who are well knoWh toWaterford audiences as the inimitable representativesin the " Sh&ughiaun" and other Irish celebrated come-dies. The piece is splendidly put on, and is proving,as it deserves, a most profitable speculation to themanagement.

Board was slight, and originated no discussion.When thatportion of tho business was gone throughup came the following report from Mr. W. Kelly,as visiting guardian :—

" Visited tbe house this day, and have pleasure instating that I found it clean and orderly. Thehospitals reflect credit on every person connectedwith them.

" Visited Kill St. Lawrence, and was sorry to see,that though this churchyard has been closed a num-ber of years by an order in council, burials are ofdaily occurrenco; tbe coffins not sufficientl y covered ;human bones on the Burfaco, whilst pigs and dogshave free access to this cemetery. I also visitedKilbarry. I cannot find words to describo this church-yard. It is a mass of rotting flesh. The dead arepacked in layers, over each other, and not sufficientclay to cover them. I cannot trust myself to speakof these places, the principal burial grounds of thepoor of Waterford, and I would humbly ask theLocal Government Board to request their highlyefficient inspector, 3Ir. Hamilton, to report to themon this subject. " WILLIAM KELLY.

" Jan. 22. 1878."CIIAIBMAN—Have we not taken tenders for the

enclosing of those churchyards ? CLERK : Yes.CHAIRMAN : Then, what more can we do?

Mr. ROOERS—I don't see that we can do any more.Mr. KELLY—I would suggest that wo ask Mr.

Doolin (C.E.), who drew the plan and specification,to hurry on the work of enclosing thoBe churchyards.This proposition was objected to by guardians, whosaid they could not go beyond the acceptance of thetender which they had taken, whereupon

Alderman EIDMOND said that whilst, perhaps,nothing moro could be done, still he could not seeany harm in sending the report to Mr. Hamilton.

Mr. LEAHT—It will go on tho minutes, and whatmore is necessary ?

CHAIRMAN —And therefore it is wo must informtho Local Government that we have taken a. tenderfor the enclosing of these graveyards, and I thinkwe should odd that Buch enclosing will prevent in-terments in them in future, and that tho work willbe done as soon as tho weather permits (hear, hear).

Captain 1'OWEB said it seemed to him a strangething for Mr. Kelly to take the duty of distinguish-ing himself for so much humanity. Tho guardianswere all for the closing of these places.

Mr. LEAMY—Mr. Kelly has Btated nothing butfacts in bis report fhear, hear).

Aid. REDMOND—We cannot prevent Mr. Kelly, orany other guardian, making a report.

Mr. BLOOMPIELD—If burials are of daily occur-rence in theBe places, they can be prevented by thepolice, who will act if a report is made to them onthe subject.

Aid. KEDiioaD-^Still it would be .very hard fortho police to do so, as theso interments generallytake place at night time.

Mr. LEAMY—You will assuredly have to provideanother burial place for the people of Waterford.Captain POWER : Have you not Ballynanecshagh ?Mr. LEAMY : NO, for you have prevented peoplegoing there by your resolution (against reading theburial service there).

Aid. REDMOND—C think we have every reason tohope that when the burial service is read there, asit ought to be, the cemetery—now called by anothername—will become popular.

The resolution passed, with tbo addition, as sug-gested by tho chairman, to tell tho Local Govern-ment Board that tho guardians Lad taken a tenderfor the enclosing of those churchyards.

A LAY OPINIO N ON THE HOUSE HOSPITAL.The following reply was received from Dr.

Burkitt, M.O. in charge of tho male hospital, inreply to the report made last day by Mr. M. O'Shea,P.L.G., as given elsewhere :—

" G ENTLEMEN— With reference to tho extract fromthe Visitor's Report, furnished to me by your clerk , butwithout tho names of the persons referred to in the re-port , I havo only to pay from my intimate knowledgo ofthe malo hospital pat ion ta, my belief is, the whole ex-tract is utterly unfounded in fact and untenable, arisingpossibly from sonic most extraordinary delusion, ortotal ignorance of tho snbject.—I am, gentlemen, yourobedient servant,

" R. J. BUBKITT, A.M., M.B., Medical Officer. "Mr. O'SHEA Baid he was quite prepared to meet

that report.Mr. CLAMrETT stated that last day Mr. O Shea

had a list of patients who, he said, wero not fit sub-jects for tbo hospital, and thoBe names he undertookto send to the clerk, in order that they shouldreach the doctor (no, no, from Mr. O'Shea). He(Mr. C.) would now move, the names not havingbeen sent, that- (his answer from Dr. Burkitt bedeclared satisfactory.

Mr. BLOOMFIEIID seconded tho motion.Mr. O'SHEA said be did not send the names because

the doctor did not cull on him, or send to him forthem. He (Mr. O'Sliea)- was a member of the Boardof Guardians, and Dr. Burkitt was only on officer ofthe board. That letter from the doctor was notsatisfactory, and he would propose that it bo de-clarsd unsatisfactory. He would tuke a division ontbo point.

Mr. BLOOMFIELI:—Without tbe names, tho doctorcould not do moro than he has done in this cose(hear, hear).

Mr. O'SHEA'S motion was net seconded, and,therefore, not put ; consequently thero was nodivision, and Mr. Clampett's motion was understoodto be carried.

VIBIT1NO GUARDIANS.The following were appointed Visiting Guardians

for tho month, to do duty in tho order named :—Mr.Bloomfield, Capt. Armstrong, Mr. Leamy, and Aid.Redmond.

NOTICE OP MOTION.Capt. Armstrong, J.P., pursuant to previous no-

tice, moved to rescind the reeolution which deniedpaying to Mr. Bjrr, O.E., his car-hiro in connectionwith sewerage works at Passage, of which works hebad drawn the plan and specification. Capt. Arm-strong showed ,to the satisfaction of the board, thatMr. Barr was called upon, unavoidably, by tho com-mittee at Passage, in respect to these works, as theoriginal plan had to be changed more than once, andthat the amount, £2. 17s., wab incurred solely in re-spect to this undertaking, and the motion to pay,seconded by Mr. Rogers, was passed unanimously.

MOONCOIN.Dr. WHITTY, M. O., Ullid, reported nuisances at

Mooncoin. Action in tho matter was postponedto next board day.

CLOSING COLLECTION.Mr. MARTIN BAREON presented his arrear sheets

on close of collection. The amount of the warrant,received by Mr. Borron on tbe 8th September lost,wns £4,273 Is. 7d., of which sum he collected.£4,203 19s. lid., leaving a balance of £9 Is. 8d.The sheets were examined by Messrs.

The chairman; andboard generally, pronounced tho collection on ad-mirablo one, tha some as Mr. Barren had madeduring many years, and a cheque for-the poundagewas passed immediately. j ; j i .

DVN Q&miN CORRESPONDENCE.

DUNGARVAN NATIONAL TEACHERS'ASSOCIATION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE WATKRIOKD NEW8.SIK—The usual quarterly meeting of this Associa-

tion was held in ttie Town Hall lost Saturday, Mr.J. McGratb, Carriglca N.S. presiding. The attend-ance was unusually largo, a fact which was verygratifying to all, evincing a determination to continueour struggle till our admitted grievances ore re-moved. At this advanced stage of our agitation, itis little creditable to those with whom the redress ofthese grievance: rest*, that the teachers are stillcompelled to keep before tbe public, with tbe usualcry tor the means of subsistence, It would be farmore agreeable to their feelings to come togetherfor mutual improvement, discussing the best meansfor tho efficient conduct of their schools, com-municating to one another their experience of thisplan, and that, for promoting the advancement oftheir pupils, and tbe cause of education. It isvery hard to bear patiently for years the grievouswrongs to which tbe touchers of this country aresubjected. To admit the existence of grievances,and to take no effectual steps for their removal, islittle short of keen mockery. What must bothought of the system which awards punishmentwhen it should give reward ? How would the CMefSecretary feel at the end of his year of arduouslabour, if he were to bo told, though he did hiswork as well, and perhnps better than the year be-fore, that because of tne failure of others to con-tribute, be should suffer the loss of one-third of bissalary (and every body knows it could better afforda clipping than the teachers) ? What heart couldbo bring to the discharge of his duties next yearwith the SAine prospect before him, and yet this isprecisely the position of tho national teachers,becai'so guardians refuse to tax tboir unions ?Would not Sir Michael consider that tho teachersare as keenly alive to, and feel as acutely such in-justice, as the nun of thousands, and no longer allowthe frown of a lew followers to scare him from doingjustice to a class of public servants who bave ad-mittedly deserved well of their country ? It is,therefore, to bo sincerely hoped that the presentsession of Parliament will see an end of this un-satisfactory state of things, fully convinced, as tnegovernment must be by this time, of tho utter hope-lessness of squeezing the remedial measure frominvoluntary sources by voluntary means. Let ushave no move experimental legislation, and tempor-ary arrangements, to which the teachers bave beenmado victims for the past few years. At all events,the toachors are determined, though, doubtful per-haps, whether, with the same amount of patienceand forbearance as they have shown in the past, tocontinue their agitation till something approachingto justice is done them.

At our last meeting, which was one of the mostsuccessful and largely attended since the formationof the Associatio
