Kelly consider* the *chool under his euporv ,s, ,,, to be in a most satisfactory state. Hath Mr Milligin and Mr. Pilot agree in thinking that, till attendance is made compulsory, a large number of children will grow un ignorant of the rudiment, of education Mr. Milligan holds tint, whilo public opinion is growing iu favor of educating all tlie children, yet that many persous will not send Iheir children to school unless compelled by law to do so. He notes _that the1 poorest parents are lite nvext apathetic. He instances ono esse where the teacher was in fault ; raying thai" he was industrious but that bis education was defective." Another entry is to the effect that "at Perry'* Cove, the day not beiug fino and the teacher aged, school was not open." He adds that this worthy old man his since retired from a position for which old age had long unfitted him. Mr. Pilot is emphatic in condemning tho practice of employing incompetent teachers, taking rare to point out that the remedy it to pay adeei-iate salarit-a iu order to ensure good icrvice. Like Air.

Through it* operation sectarian jealousy and atrife have ceased. Bat, until all the children under twelve are obliged to attend tcbool for a given timo, it cannot be maintained tbat Newfoundland enjoy* all tho benefit* which flow from n comprehensive and thorough system of national education. Though tbe Island of Newfoundland ia na large aa England, tho population number* no more than 1-8,985; in Labrador whic'i i* united to it there are 2416 persons. Io 1809 the total population wit l_fi,b3e, io that tbo increue iu Newfoundland and Labrador between' 13GJ and 1876 waa 14,838.

Upwardi of «100,000 are expended annually in relieving the poor.

The iiiiaunilei-staoiliugknownoa lha For- tunc Bay outrage has been dispelled by Great Britain paying l..,(l00f. in fait of all demanda for compenssation from tha Now England fishermen who were n,altri*ated by the Newfoundlanders. Other differences of opiuion as to the true intcrpreta- ticio of clause* in the Treaty of Wits:,n,,i.,„ m^y get harmonized by diplomacy. Thai treaty is as noteworthy as other mmil.n d.-cuuienli for the vagueness of ita terms Tint appears to be tbe great object of dip- ! ,:„ iti t.i. Just u plumbers seem to take care to leave some damaged pipes wheu they are called iu to put tho witor supply to a bouse in good order and do so with tho hope of being soon summoned to repair the mischief thoy hive wrought, to diplotnatilta continue to leave treaties in condition that controversy arises a* ir precise purport and fresli negotia- iave to bo undertaken with a view to make term* intelligible and satisfactory to the per >n*affected. Thotroatyof Utrecht, which define** tho rights of the French at the coast of Newfoundland, might be regarded a* an exception to tbo rule, a* it is as clear as any instrum»nt of tho kind. Yet it has been hold by the French to confer righta which do not seem to have occurred to ita framera. By that treaty tlie French onjoy the right, conthmod by subsequent treaties, of fishing off the west coast of Newfoundland an ! e.f .Irvine; lish on the shore, concurrently with tlio tubjects ofthe British Sovereign. Th.ie hits beeu interpreted by French' dipb.iia- ti*ta to mean an exclusive right both to tfie fishery nnd to tfiu occupatiou of tbo wett- eru shore. A* Lord Palisierston observed, in a masterly despatch on tho subject to Count Setbaatiaui in lr.!*, a concurrent right of enjoyment e.nnot pc.s.ildy mean *n oxeliisive right to a particular privilege ; In- added, "tho claim put forward o:i the part of France i* founded simply upon iulereuce, and upon an assumed Interpretation oi wordt.'' Yet the French have protettel against mining operations on the plea that the land must bo reserved for thoir ex !.!■ aive ut*. The diitriet nbout which this dispute exists it the favorite retort of ptr- aom wlt* bare imperative reason* for dji- likingttio police and who like thi* region becauso policemen are uukoown in it, The points at isailti between Francj and this country concerning Newfexundlaud becom-) more embarrassing as time passe* away. In (uch * cose a* thia, delay is uuquestion- .il.lv .huge-rout. Tho toonor a clear and duiinite nudersiandiog is arrived at Uio better for all parties. By a ayiteten of bounties the French have given their fisbtr- men a practical monopoly of fishing on tho B inks of Newfoundland ; not a single British vessel being able to compete with thorn. Thi* thoy aro free todo.but no valid authority has yettxen shown by them for excluding Britishsubj.'etafrom Britiah soil. When tlie matter ia again dealt with.it woutd ba wist if the statesmen of Newfoundland were represented on my commission which m'ght be empowered to act; the cvieslion inamed,, ately concern! theraaivlil ii one with which tbey are intimately acquainted. I bavethowa how much there Ls in New- fonndliod to attract and enric'i the woodman, the farmer aad the miner, in addition to the original attra-ilioa which has mad* it tbe great homo of fishermen. It msy ret be numbered among tb* ipota to whioh invalid* batten in order to regain health by addresses were presented to him, ho iwpliid, as_.BOwlt'.l_inii the »alu« -of party criticiim. Mr. Glaelitono explained tbo Liberal foreign policy to consist of two main principle.,: ib.it ev,-iy foreign country should be credited with the same good motives as ourselves until it shewed the contrary, and that every power wis entitled to tho same right* and privilege*, irrespective of lite. It wis not for hiin, whoso life waa drawing to an inevitable close, to anticipate the long future they desired for hiin, but bo would leave the affairs cf tbe country in the bands of men in whom it bid confidence. Referring to tlio unity of tbo Liberal party ho said ho taw no tigo of any auch diviaiout oa led to '.ta defeat in 187L Everywhere thero were signs of uuiou, and he looked forward with satisfaction. Therj was mnch to bo done iu alteriug and modifying the land law* of Englainl and Scotland, but tho circum- itance* iu these part* ire not tlioso of Irc- liui L He argued that tho depression of trade proceeded from decrea*cd purchasing power. He calculated tbit between 1878 and IS80 tin, country lost £2I,0ii>i,iiOO on her export trade, but at much at £100,09J,- ii.,< fi •■nn bad hirveeta. Referring to the Trade, League, he aaid some persous complained about Auieriein lirilTa; America sent us £.-l,(XO,0W worth of uiiuufae- vbile we tent America from £1)0,01*0,- £40.00J,0>0 worth. The "fairtrad- era" wanted America to cease to bo ourcus totner to this amount Alore '" unfair" lei guer.t he never kno-v. If Sir Stafford Northcoto di-vpproved of Mr. Lowlher' suggestion of tl.o corn duty, it waa time t speak intolligeully on tbe aubject. As cSir Stafford Northeote had other ipeechct to make toou, ho pcrhips would lay emphatically whether ho favored protection and * corn duty. He himself would be no party to a retrograde movement. At tlio banquet given to Mr. Gladstone at night fourteen hundred person* wero present Air. Glalstoue laid :—" Justieo to Ireland is i snored duty, but can nover be performed without eq ia! justice to England and Scotland. The itato of Ireland might not bo a party question. Ireland is in a great crisis, aud on the working of the Land Act may depend the greatest issues with regard to her prosperity. Powerful agencies aro working which will yet influoticc her fato iu ipite of the action of certain persons. I do not believe there are laborer* in auy country that hive made more progress th»u Iriih laborer*." Mr, GLulatone warmly eulogized Sir Charles Gavan Daily for bit pamphlet advocating a grateful aeeepta&ce of the Land Acl- Air. Gladstone claimed Air. Dillon aaan opponent, but nu opponent whom ho waa glad to honor, and added; "I now have the painful duty of dealing with a very different class of opponent,. A small bo ly of men ho* arisen who are not aahamed to preach in Ireland the distrtu; of public plunder. Tho state of things in Ireland is coming to a question of law on the one band and thecr fawleatnet* , other." Air. Gladstone favorably cnl O'ConnelPs fidelity to the crown of England wit!, Mr. Parnell** hostility to every thing English, (-'Council, he laid, oh every occasion, detclired hit respect for property, but Mr. Parnell has now a new go*pel, that of plunder, to proclaim. Ho wet now that whereat the rental of Ireland is £17,- 000,000, the landlord iiawtitied to nothing but tbeorigfnnt valueof tliolind, amousting to £3.000,000. O'Conntdl'i respect fo, human lifo was co.ni.teut Air. Parnell is verj copiout in hia reference* to America. but in all thot» raferena-a be ha* novo, found time to utio* a word of iH**ppini|>l about the atsaadnallen literature of thai country, which i* not American literature tV.noric.-iniacorn, tpnrnami blithe it. (Liu cSerr*.) Mr. Parnell. daring tho latt »eiai„r Salute the Enr-lisu Flap;. The placiug of the floral wreath upon the bier of our dead Pre*-ident. the aimplo yet beautiful and tender tribute of tho Queen of England, which touched the in- ncrruoat heart of tho people aa a noblo cx- prctaiou of aisterly sympathy with tho bereaved nation, will Jt-ccive it* fitting formal recognition from the bead of tbe government But, inasmuch is the delicate act of the Queen directly appealed to the indi- Tldoal Iwri^eftbe people, it is naggcsUtni that it would bo titling, perhaps, for tho people themselves to join in «___•-_. testimony of tho gratitude I with their hearts. An occasion for a manifestation of gratitude that will speak English peoplo and their sovercig peculiar force nnd meaning—following, it would, the acknowledgments of tiie government—might be fouud in the ceremonies with which iu a fow days American* are to commemorate the Revolutionary victory at Yorktowu. It it thought tbat if, amid the pomp ami pageaulry of centennial feativilies of such national intercat, it shall bo arranged to salute tbo British flag with tbo liring of cannot, and with hearty cheer*—making known at th* timo the purpose and e»w» for the demonstration—the ceremony will be hailed by Englishmen across Ihe water witb peculiar pleasure, and accepted not only oa a gratifying evidence that their aovoreign'a recent mark of sympathy is ippreeeiated with heartfelt tbaiikfiilnt-iB-. but aa a potent proof that tbe antagonistic feeling* of the old colonial daya havo passed entirely away, and "bsceu supplanted by a kindlier ipirit of lasting good-willanel frieneithip. It i* «caree*ely possible* lhat such a demonstration would conflict with the details of celebration as already arranged, and, if made part of tbo festal exercise*, it wonld not only heighten their iuipretsivenes* and interest, but woulel constitute tbem a worthy display of unselfish sympathy that the Queen and her people might cherish with sentiments,0- -esgardaodatlectiou.—A'eir lVi_7"u*e*. From " Travelling, Past and Present.") THE BAILWAY. Only four years previous to the laudatory tcotencei quoted in afonucrpage. the Quarterly Review asked the question :—■• What can be more palpably absurd and ridiculous than tlie prospect held out of locomotives travelling twice *i flit at itage •roaches? Wc trust that Parliament will, in all rail- wayi it may aanclion. limit the ir-ced to eight nr nuio miles an hour,' whioh, re anile ttqere with Mr. Sylvester, is as great as cau be ventured o x \xvith saf. ty." In another plane the »amo Bovlew laid : " A* to thoio .persona wbo ipecnli.te, on making railways general throughout the kingdom, and inperaeding all the canals, all the waggon*, mail and ttagc coache*. poit-cb*i*e*, and, in riiort, every oiher mode of convcyince by land and hy water, we deem them and their visionary tchcine* unworthy of notice. The gross exaggerations of the powers of tiie I»eonioli»e (team. en_rine, or. to speak in plain English, the steam-carriage, may delude for * time, but- muni en.l iii the mortification of those con- ceriii'd."
