THE PROVINCIAL UNIVERSITY.
11 we would see the true ioteresta of
Canada ort simply preserved, but effectu-
ally promoted, we must roomer or later
establish and sustain a Provincial Unirerity.
If we would see morality and religion re-
garded -the arts and sciences cherished -
philosophy studied, and literature advanced;
it we would see the mind enlarged and ele-
vated, and man himself fully fitted for his
alloted s•ation; then we must bail the day
when a great central and ioezbaastable
fountain shall be opened, from whence all
these blessings may flow. When this
young country shall have become densly
populated,. the little rivulets that have
hitherto so feebly supplied our wants will
utterly fail. -A mighty reservoir of pure,
self -supplying and life-giving water's, must
be established in the heart of the Province,
or before the lapse of many generations,
our few ordinary and isolated cisterns will
have dried up. But aside from metaphor,
let us turn our attention to the actual con-
dition of the Province in a literary and in-
tellectual point of view, and the necessity
of an institution of this nature shall be
still more apparent. \Ve already number
*vend colleges, academies and -high schools
as uell as many eery CO111 ase schools. But
these, at least, can only furnish the mind_
with flet principle.. Moreover, the time
and labor of professore and teachers in
these institutions most be supremely demo.
ted to the buolne.s of ioatrvctiow. When
such • reultiplieatlon ofdutWe as at preesaa
is imposed upon ear of thus, it is unrea-
sonable to expect el;
t they should do sure

the vast mimes of truth that have remained
as yet eomperttively nnexpinred, whit the
simple purpose of enfolding their treasures,
without deriving immediate and pracueel
advantage therefrom; to fathom the inigMy
ocean of beauty, for the gems there con -
mated, while the trssesres tall not into the
adventurer's buds, to soar alert Si the ta-
ttoos of thought and tmaglnatton that
others may be gratified with the sublimity
sad inspiration of poetry; or to tweed the
rugged mountains of science, there to con-
template the abstract aed./petulanve ?res•
wide. of mature is the bright beams of her
own sun; to do all ibis, requires more that
a few detached efforts of prufe.aiooal men
whose own ■ppropnate duties are already
too numeruue tad uppreuire. It requires
the continued labor. of a body of niers wbo
shall devote their whole lives, and ell their
powers each to a single object of pursuit;
men whose minds shall be relieved from
all the pressing cues of life, by basing all
their treats supplied without efforts on their
put; men who shall have • place for re-
tirement and study, secluded from all the
stormy cummotions with which the world
around thetn is agitated; and men who shall
be encouraged by tokens of sympathy and
approbation, and by evidence that their
labors are appreciated. Now the govern -
onset is the best, if not the only source
from which such ample and permanent pro-
vision may be expected. Let the grant
already made, be applied for this its original
purpose, and we aball see an institution
rising up, to which shall be conceutrated
the intellectual nerve and sinew of the
Province. Thither will be gathered men of
genius, thought Hud invention; of strong
intellect and high attainments. And by
their conduct they will inspire salutary zeal
and enthusiasm. By their mutual efforts,
they will strengthen each other's hands;
and by their mutual contributions they will
increase their trsaaures, and multiply the
stores of knowlege. Nor will this be •
contracting, gravitating mass of inanimate
matter; but a living, active, efficient power.
And as the blood-Itfe's nutriment -Gown
through ton thousand arteries front the
heart to the extremities of the body, carry-
ing bealtb and vigor to every part of the
frame; so through every portion of our
country, from this self -supplying fountain,
would flow abundant streams of knowledge,
and high mental enterprise, giving impulse
to talent, vitality to genius, and to the in-
tellect of the Province, tailing, irrepressi-
ble energy. The discovery of many impor-
tant truths would, doubtless„be made; the
cause of letters would be revived; the fietd
of useful arts cultivated -the domain of
science exteqded-ia hoe, a higher and more
healthful tune would be given to the mental
being of individuals and of the whole
Province. to conclusion, if we would lay
a foundation on which may be reared a great
literary superstructure; if we would hare
the vital interests of the country preserved
and promoted, her happiness secured and
cherished; and if we would earn the bless-
ings, and not the curses of future genera-
tions, then let the Province be blessed and
adorned with a Provincial University.

1 have Id state that the meeting referred to,

to the 30th, at which time perfect quietness
was restored, after having assassinated M.
Rossi. The mob, instigated by the clubs,
proceeded in a body to the Quirenal Palace
on the 14th, where they demanded a new
ministry, the immediate declaration of war
against Austria, rte. About a hundred of
the Swiss Guards resisted them.
The deplomatic body also entered the
palace, to endeavour to protect his holiness
by their moral iofloence. Sonic attempts
were made to set fire to the principal gates,
but a few shots from the Swiss caused the
mob to retire. Shortly afterwards the mili-
tary, numbering some thousands, invested
the palace in order of battle, and commen-
ced a fusilade against the window'. The
Swiss were overwhelmed, and the pope's
Monzigueuir Parma, was shot iu the breast.
Thu overwhelming force of the besetgere
compelled submission. Negotiations were
opened by the Pentad, and entered into by
the leaders. These resulted in the proposal
of a new ministry, of which some of the
chief insurgents were to (nam a part. The
pope agreed to the proposal, and the new
Ministry was completed on the 28th.
The authority of the pope, by his forced
acceptance of a new ministry, is fit fact at

Is now published in the City of Toronto,
a weekly quarto Newspaper of eight pagee,
devoted to Miscelaaeoua Literature, Mural
Philosophy, Political, Economy', and Gener-
al Science, comprising suet; subjects as
will contribute to the inetructuoo, improve-
ment and amusement of all classes of Soci-
ety. But the main design of it is, to induce
the elevation of the Mechanical and other
working classes to that moral standard in
the scale of being which It is the pro/liege,
and should be the ambition, of all to attain.
Among the numerous periodicals of the
day, there is not one devoted to the moral
improvement of_tbe people,,.but is chiefly
distinguished for its partizan zeal or rcl!gi-
oue peculiarities. It will be the province
of the proposed publication to fill up rho
vacuutn betweeu these two unavoidable
extremes by presenting, every week, to the
reader's consideration, such topics as will
strengthen the intellect, refine the mind,
and above all, mend the heart.
The lamentable prevalence of dishonesty
and falsehood, discoverable in the business
transactions of every day life, among -seve-
ral classes of the community -who, from
custom, regard them as essential to success
in their various enterprises-dilmande that
something be done to arrest the progress
of these ignoble sins, and there by avert,
from the next ge icration at least, their
fearful concomitants and consequences. -
The effort is now about to be made ; and
it behoves all who feel an interest in the
advancement of their fellow -countryman in
virtue and social happiness, to euuuteoance
and encourage this humble enterprise.
Other subjects of vital importance to the
working and trading portions of the com-
munity, shall, from tune to time, engage
