at eatery "Mau 1(Mai" in Canada is, the
computation is N glue to the rebels of
1837; that they are to be Indemnified for
the lomat caused by their own truant. -
The answer to this groes and fraudulent
calumny is ample and coselueive-the class
of peruse to whom eompenestioa is to be

Ing ereeea now passed on the Continent and
in Canada will bo found under our foreign
head. The Canadian outrage claims our
first attention. Our readers 1(e aware that
• bill to indemnify the Lower Canadians
for the luaus sustained in the rebellion
of 1837-38, had been for some time dis-
cussed in the provincial legislature, and
that the proposal had excited great opposi-
tion and much • bitterness from the party
who had formerly held the reins of power.
They stigmatised the bill as a scheme to
reward and indemnify rebels, and that it
Involved the monstrous absurdity of com-
pelling the loyal inhabitants who had
shod their blood, and- expended their means
in rcpro.seing the revolt, to reimburse the
Insurgents for the losses which there own
wickedness' and treason had caused. It was
urged in reply to these reasonings, that
those who had taken an active .part in the
revolt were specially excluded from the
benefits of tho enactment, that there were
great grievances experienced by the poop
previous to the instruction, and that rho
party who felt those grievances, and sym-
pathised with the effort to remove them,
should not io eonimon fairness and con-
sistency bo left subject to their losses,
when the imperial Legislature had acknow-
ledged the justice of their complaints, and
done its utmost by a liberal reform to re-
move them.
A bill of a similar character also had
passed the Legislature without opposition
before, for the benefit of Upper Canada. -
Tho majority of those who suffered in that
province, ❑t Iced, hod bun in favour of tho
Government, but rho minority worn called
upon to nay, for the lessee of their political
opponents, wbieh they Jid without a mur-
mur. In support of these latter views, the
Assembly divided, when 46 voted in favour
of the bill, and only 17 against it. Of the
16 who voted fur the bill there were 22
French Canadian., 0 British from Lower
Canada, and 18 Britisb from Upper Canada,
while the minority against the bill consisted
of 11 British from the upper province, 6
frotn the lower, and one French Canadian,
Paptneain the Republican leader. Leaving
out of view the French altogether, there
was thus a clear majority of British mem-
bare; but were tt otherwise -had the bill
been carried by Frenchmen alone against
the united force of the British -we are still
prepared to maintain that it waa the boun-
den duty of the people to submit. --
The subject was as much i matter for leg-
tsatiee interference as the destruction of
property in a riot is; and when our French
fellow subjects are admitted to the rights of
free and equal citizenship, they ars entitled
to as groat an influence in politics as tho
purest British blood. The diegraceful out-
rage at Montreal, therefore, violates at once
the majesty of the law and the sovereignty
of the people, both provincial and metropo-
litan. Wo aro thee entitled to demand
that the perpetrators of the act be brought
to condign punishment; and we think that
the seat of Government should be removed
from Montreal, and placed in some quint
spot whore the sovereign will of the colony
can he calmly manifested, without the in-
sulting intereference and destructive vio-
lence of mob -law.

Nothing can justify a precipitate con-
demnation of the course muscat by the
government towards the Canada', previous
to the examination of those official de-
spatches which will be laid on Friday even-
ing before both lioused of the imperial
Parliament. Whatever mny be the nature
of the provisions made in the Bill of Indem-
nity which has originated the inarreetional
manner in which that meanies has bAn car

leaves 1(R, however, no room to doubt that
the recent outbreak te the infamous result
of a conspiracy on the part of a lawless and
unpriotipled minority. We may oath of
to entertain a different opinion as to the
advisability or sen-edveablity of indemnify-
ing indiscriminately all those who may have
happened to euffbr pecuniary louses during
the last deplorable rebellion. One may,
soother may not, conceive that some defi-
nite distiectios ought to nave beam madf be-

Such are some of the most conspicuou
among the excesses of the Tory cosnspira
t rte against the government.' And as t
18. certaidty of the whole outbreak baro
the result of a conspiracy, there is no lack
of the moat conclusive testimony. When
the mob first congregated on the Champ.
da Mare, there were was a general cry
"To the Parliament House !'' Who
those who were already assembled in th
neighbourhood of the Parliament IIouse
beard the approach of the insurgents from
the Champ de Mars, there was • cry
"They come." So soon as the riotin
was tolobtably set afoot, clubs assemble
for the purpose of orating the name of Lor
Elgin from their catalogues; meetings wor
convened for tho purpoeo of manufacturin
petitions to the Sovereign, demanding th
recall of the Governor General as one in
competent to conduct the administration o
affairs in the colony. Moanwhile, above
the level of the rabble, ono or two person
wore brought out in a, rather conspicuous
position, being thus identified in the glare
of day with the,excessoss and atrocities o
rho insurrection. Colonel Gugy was car-
ried in triumph on tho shoulders of the
rioters. One Perry stood out so conspi-
cuously among the incendiaries as to have
been subsequeotl incarcerated under a
charge of arson. Tho lion. G. Moffatt, in
like manner, occupied so very visible a place
in the van of the movement, as to have been
afterwards arrested on a still more serious
charge -that of high treason. As a sort of
climax to the impudent daring displayed
throughout the whole transaction - the
mace, stolen as we have already shown,
from rho Parliament House by ono of the
ruffians of rho insurrection, wail ultimately
found in the ponossien of Sir Allan McNab!
Ono course, and ono course alone, remains
open to the government. The nature of
that course is perfectly obvierts. Tho rob-
bers and pillagers, and incendiaries, who
have recently disgraced the bruits of Mon-
treal, must be put down with the strong
hand of the paw, whose Majesty theyhave
violated. They must be compeled to
make a bitter expiation. Their most pro-
minent leaders must be subjected to sum-
mary and condign puniebntent. And as to
the recall of Lord Elgin, justice requires
that the policy of his administration should,
hest of all, bo proved to have beep bared,
peremptory, or in any respect unconstitu-
tional. Hitherto, the fault of hie govern•
ment (if such indeed can be called a fault)
has been its excessive leniency. That
oniency has, with the Orange minority of
conspirators, produced its own evil fruits.
This must henceforth bo followed by a rigo •
nus suppression of those rebellious par -
lone, which are only festered in maturity
by the generosity of a genial admiobtra-
inn. This we maintain to be the only
Mums' course open to the governing',

THE UNIVERSITY BILL.
Among the measures which were success-
fully carried through Parliatnent during the
late session, the Uoivorsity loll way be
justly ranked as pro -eminent in importance.
Tho couutry had long demanded a tho-
rough reform of that lusutution. h had
been the acne of shaureleaa speculation. -
11 had been subjected to gross mismanage-
ment. Instead of being under the control
of 1 he people, it had Wen into the hands
of a party, and was practically a sectarian
Institution, 'testament at the public expense.
It did not, it could not, enjoy public confi-
dence. All classes united in requiring such
alterations in its policy and government as
would bring it loth harmony with the spirit
of the age, and the state of society in the
colony. So powerful was the feeling, that
it became a teat question at elections,. and
honourable members . of the Legislative
Assembly bore with diem to the hall of
legislation the stern demand of their consti-
tuents for University Reform. e
The Ministry were prepared to grapple
with tho difficulties that were thrown in
their way. Ttiey met them boldly. They
proposed no temporising course. Aware
of the wishes of an immonse majority of the
people of Upper Canada, the shaped the
measure in accordance with those wishes.
and tho Bill to which the Royal Assent
has been given may be fairly taken to repro -
sent the public mind of the Province.
A full abstract of the Bill waa presented
to our readers immediately after intruduc
tion to the house, so that it is unnecessary
to go into detail on the subject. Yet we
cannot but advert to two or three particu-
lars, which appear to us peculiarly worthy
of attention.
The arrangements made for the manage-
ment of the funds of the lJnivoreity aro en-
titled to unqualified commendation. 1p
the establishment of a Board fur that pur-
pose, with justly limited powers, and a re-
gular system of accounts, to be annually
audited, and reported to Government, mal-
veraation will bo efl'ectunlly prevented, dis-
graceful jobbing will no more be beard of,
end the due application of the University
revenue will bo secured. To this branch
of the new management no objection is
likely to be raised, except by those who
have shared in past plunder, and whose
avarice can be no longer gratified.
The course to bo adopted to the appoint-
ment of Professors is also observable.-
There will be no scope for the operation of
personal or political preferences. When -
over a vacancy occurs, notice is to be given
by public advertisement, and candidates in-
vited to send in their testimonials. They
will be rubjeeled to examination, and those
only who are best qualified will bo reported,
that from them the choice may be mtde.-
A professorship will not be a reward for
political service,. Pamphleteering will not
be the road to preferment. Qualification
for office, not ,opinions or party -bias, will
ho the subject of inquiry. In rho national
l'niver.itios of England, Professore must
belong to a particular Churbh:-Canada is
in advance of England, in that respect.
Reforenco might also bo made to the pro-
posed establishment of Scholarships, to be
bestowed upon desorvieg young men, af-
ter fair ezamioation; and to the promi-
monce that is to w given to the scien-
tific studies connected with properatioo for
agricultural pursuits. These are designs
eminently adapted to the existing circum-
stances of tho colony.
Very much will depend on the " Commis-
sion of Visitation," to be appointed by the
Crown, with a view Lora complete rovietoo
of the internal arrangements of the Uaiver-
fity, its studies, the duties of the Professors,
&c. etc. That Commission will no doubt
bo appointed at the earliest possible period.
It will consist of persons unconnected with
the University, and therefore uninfluenced
by professions for Of against tho present
methods'of instruction. We trust that the
gentlemen composing that Communion will
aim to provide for the youth of the Province
a course of study, at once comprebooeit e,
complete, and varied -suited to the diversi-
fied manifestations of .native talent -com-
bining sound scholarehip 'With.adaptation
to the noccssittes and pursuits of colonial
life -and storing the mind with general
knowledge, while seatring to the student
all tho advantages and pleasures derivable
from refined Intellect and correct taste.
We preeume that no time will be lost in
carryinginto effect the provisions of this
admirabe Bill. It has settled a question
which has vexed and disturbed the Province
for years. The beneficial results of the
rrottlemest are sow to be enjoyed. -Pilot.
NEXT TIIE COALS.
in our last number, our readers were fur-
nished with the despatch of the Governor to
the Colonial Secretary, on the subject of
the Montreal ontrege., together with a
most powerful article, no the same subject,
from the London 71urs of May 17th. In
our present number will be found the reply

be regarded as the meet deadly blow which

would fail to sustain i.on! Elgin, Is far.be-
yend our powers of comprehension to lath
om. The truth is, Canadian tory stupidity
is unfathomable. We have given up all
idea of treating it as a system of res.onabae
polities. it is a mere aggregation of polit-
ical inure y, stultitude, rowdyism, imbecili-
ty, and sae phrenzy. it proposes to

u we expected to find to the reply to the
despatch of Lord Elgin. The great question
at mute not one of's mere perusal char-
acter, as between Lord Elgin and his assail-
ants. It is a question between British su-
premacy, and Brush Outlaws : it is •
question between the power of Law, and
the power of sedition ; and whether the
imperial Government approver, or disappro-
ved, of the govornmeotal policy of His Ex•
collency, the necessity of upholding his
authority was alike imperative.
Tho question has far wider reference, •nd
involves far weightier considerations, than
the mere internal political dtaptitca, of the
poising of contending parties, within the
limits of Canada : it ie far w.der In its range
than even Eer4Grey has thought proper to
express it. His Lordship rightly deprecates
the encouragement tthich Lord Eiretes re-
tirement "would ripe to those who have teen
concerned" in the Montreal outrages ; but
be muni well know, that Canada 1• not tIte
only British po ton in which the effects
of such an Act of imperial policy would be

mob may pelt a British Governor out of
