Till: F'i.TiTION OF
JOHN STRACHAN, D. D. .
We have received (rem the 1,eeislature
the copy of • it Petition lately presented to
the ilouse'bv the Bsshnp of the Episcope-.
than'eoct in thia city, protesting against the
Ministerial Bill for the reformation of the
University: Our eye was arrested by the
lingular caption of .the document-" The
retitle* • of Jortx (,y Diniee.: Prorid.nce.
f!rnon• r Tee•. ' aa1 we nat•tr..:11-
turned to the (! ,rri; Nrtr.:ra,.r•r to ,`-co-
ver the. reason for thug claiming the peeo-
• liar intervention of Divine Providence in
elevating John to the Episcopal tbrone-in
raising Ilio from the bumble chair of a
Wettish Presbyterian 1)omine which be
once occupied, to a seat in nee of the high
places of the. daughter of Babylon the
Great. Wo found however no reason
given for this,. and that the caption of the
Petition as copied therein wag the same al
on a former occasion " The Petition of
John, by Diriae l'rriitissinn." We there-
fore infer that some wicked clerk -had merit
sacnicgtouely, been trying to improve the
holy phraseology of the superscription, or
that some short-sighted compoeItor had
read " Porideace" lor " Perstissio t."
We confess that we have a peculiar pen-
chant for scraps of antiquity especially if
they carry with them the indications of pro-
gress, -or aro calculated to illustrate the
phenomena -of matter or. of mind. Tho
caption of Dr. Straelsao • petition is of this
sort. it savours of the mausoleum and
reminds us of decaying walls covered with
ivy -of 'tottering Fanes-the age when
Monks, "ley Divine Permission," were
cowls and sandals, and Bishops, "Ay Divine
Permission," routed the Saints of the Most
High. believing that they did (led service.
We have no idea that John will assume
the habit of the Monk or Inquisitor -for
this reason, he has been " born tint of due
time." We have passed the are of Monk
tub habits and Inq.neitorial intolerance, but
the,.ymbol of these are seen in the weak
irritional, and most unscriptunl proton -
mimes of the man. "Tho spirit i. willing
but the flesh is weak." We cheek the ex-
pression that we have mister' the age of
intolerance. We have not yet passed it. -

where there are a number of government

�••_
Some of tbe risgleaien bate been erre'
ted.
The Governor General's Riving the Royal
ascent to the Indemnity Bill, la lee pretext
for this ecandsh ur outrage : although the
tones thenaaln:a, by whom this reballise
has been comrneneet, first prepared the
pay meet of those rebelltoa lows . 1
The Tone. in Toronto are rather inclined
to chur:,lc over this affair.
We have no desire to create unnecessary
alarm : but the threats of commencing a
general inbwrccltoa throughout rho Pro-
vince, so frequeotly put fourth by the organs
of Lite Tury party can no longer be regard-
ed wi;h entire indifference. The time) of
such a rebellion no one can doubt. The
Reformers, who form nearly four-fifths of
the population, will array themselves on
the side of law and order. The Military is
well distributed through the Province ; and
more troops are on rhes way from Eugland.
The crisis has come, wbeo • the boasted
loyalty of the Tories is being tested. Let
the friends of peace, of law, and of the con-
stituuoo be et their poste. The authorities
ehou;d prepare for the worst. Violence
may be attempted in other places besides
Montreal. A rimultaneous outbreak in all
parte of the Province has been frequently
and openly threatened by the Tory journals;
and it is impossible tp say bow far the con-
spiracy has extended. Some of the Parlia-
mentary leaders of the Tory Party are
now in the Upper Province. They left
Montreal before actual violence commenced.
}(-hat may betheir arrangements it is impos-
sible to .gay. But however extensive the
conspirary, or general the. organization of
the rebel., the party is too insignificant to
encounter the British troops or get up any
thing like a general rebellion. The whole
troubles, if any further occur, will in all
probability be confined to insolated acts of
outrage on perann and property. Banditti
may commit( arson and assassination, but
it requires a political party, embracing the
bone and sinew of the country, to get op a
formidable insurrection.
We have no doubt that every necessary
preparation w;,l be made at once by the ex-
ec -utile tocheek effectually -any further oel-
rag) that may be attempted in any part of
the country.
It is romoared that the Toronto Tories
aro to have an indignation meeting to eight.
if this c:eeting takes place, the City Au
thont: eta Phould matte preparations to pre-
vent nit outbreak. We hear that it is in-
t.-nded to barn the Governor General in
slyer. The Mayor is advised of this fact.
Ilia Excellency, the Governor General
'•s exhitlttod a manly firmness, and a mag-
nanimous contempt of the voice of faction.
Ils.course is strictly con=_'ttotional, and
his conduct, upright and honorable, will
endear him to the hearts of the people and
posterity will hold his name in grateful re-
membrance. -

LEGISLATiVF. ASSEMBLY.
Morrr.Eat, April .27,18-19.
The House of Assembly met yesterday
itt the Hall of the Bonsecours Market.-
There was a full muster of members at pre-
sent in town. -
hit. Balwin moved the appointdtent of e
Commitico to aeetr:in what bueinces pend-
ing in the House had been deetroyci by the
lain fire, and to consider , wink course it
might be proper to take with respect to
such bilis.
Mr. Tiger seconded the motion. A
stormy debate ensued, and the motion was
eventually carried. The principal speakers
were Sir Allan h!cNab, Messrs. Merritt,
Hincks, Papinean, Wilson, Sherwood,
(Toronto,) Blake, Baldwin and Gugy.
Sir A. hfcNab then gave notico of a mo-
tion to make the -loss euetained by the tire,
the first charge on the sum voted to be paid
out of the rebellion losses.
The House then adjourned till to -dry et
10 P. M. when they assembled, and imme-
diately adjourned.
In the Legislative Council yesterday,
nothing more was done than to appoint a
Committee of five members, to enquire into
the various stages of the Bills, destroyed
by the late fire.
There was a good deal of excitement in
town yesterday. At 8 P. M-, a mob was
raised. On passing the French egn•re they
made an attack on the Pilot office, and
broke the windows; they then proceeded to
Beaver Hall Terrace, where they battered
in the windows of Messrs. Mocks, Wilson,
and Ilolmes. Mr. Iafontane's house was
the next visited, when they fired the stable,
and destroyed some valuable furniture in the
hoose.
On the arrival of the troops, the mob
dispersed. It is rumoured that some further
onsets were made.thie morning.
There wag a pnblic meeting held in the
Champ de Mars this afternoon.
We have besides a private despatch, inti -
misting that .Messrs. Ferrer, Mack, Per-
ry, Reward and .Nnalgernery Aare been
eestsritted for trial as being participators
in the riot. More troops had been assembl-
ed, and the meeting of the Loyal in conse-
quence pasted off quietly. Gentlemen wore
beginning to be cool, and some of them will

THE LOYALISTS !
We are glad that Ca•ediao Loyalty has thrown
off the mask, and assented its own form and like-
ness, for however mach we may deprecate or re-
gret it, horrid atrocities, we refer niceties the
assassin with the dagger, or the ineeodiary with
the tench, openly and boldly io hand, to meeting
him with it concealed ander his cloak or in a
dark latera. The diabolical tory outrage corn -
mitted at Montreal on her b(sjesty's Representa-
1tye, and on the repreeeotatives and property of
the people of Canada. by the machinations of
dark seetet treuooable societies, stands without
a par.Uell is the records of nations. The only
cease to which we can rcesosably attribute the
extnordiaary character of this ootrege Is the
fact, that the revolt, and rebellious of the world
have bees tweed by the de•polic policy o'Tory-
ism-the people rebelled airtime the tyrant ; bat
is the present instance the eiresnmeaseea were
enurely reversed -the people had the power and
ds tyrant releikd .gsrnse r4 people! The peo-
ple even win exasperated and aeoutblsd ie a
furious mob against their oppressors, stem to
have at least some fen of God before their eyes.

insinuates that the " Earl" published by Mr.

d the correctness of this issiswtios we lave
sot the slightest doubt. The Transcript ex-
presses a feeling of uncertainty as to whether
the affair has been the result of a previously con-
