For some weeks an acrimonious dis-. cussion has been going on through the Toronto Press, between Mr. Goldwin Smith, Dr. Ryeisokt` and. the (Toronto Globe. Mr. Smith, who is a member of is the Contra of Public Instruction, seems to think »tliat the affairs of thei-Educa- tional Department, and more especially of the book depository, are not •being conducted honestly. In this belief he is supported by otherenembers of the Coun- cil of Public Instruction. Dr. Ryerson, the Chief Superintendent of EdUcation, under whose control the bet* depart- ment is, en the other hand; ineettifes Smith of !meddling with affairs._ which should not concerti him'', and of endeav- oring to iejure hi, Dr. Ryerson's, char- acter. The Globe steps in, and embraces the opportunity of getting a slap at bah the Professor and the Chief Superintend- ent, toward either. of whom it does not cherish ithe most Christian feelings. In fact, judging from, its course in the mat- ter, thus fen we should say that • a desire to have the evil coMplaint-d of remedied, or to plaee the priblic in a position to judge of the merits of the ease is, with a seccmdary Consideration; and to make _both Mr. Smith and the Chief Sup- erintendent appear in las bad a light as - f r the p oper and h fleet conduct o the epartment over wh ch Le presides If, t erefore, he allows his ubordina s to rtb the p blie by ste lin books froi the d pos tor , disposin of Ithem to tr ere' a low prices, and 1 ocketing sthe n onees t us obe ined, as 1 cli rged, it ii the d ty of . he Governi ent to call 14m to , ount: At least hen such Immo s am , -r c irrent 1nd appearin iti the public p int% tie Government shod cause AU 1 an 1 vestig4ion to be tnade as wont(' ither OVC the trutheor fa sity of these re orta. be Government is • he custodian f th bile interests.

' Tile BRITISH MARKET The London Tintee, in its commercials column, says : "The grain market is in live but pre- vious prices are obtained for wheat. It seems to be the opinion ti at the vices of wheat will be wellniainta' ed this season. This has sustained the m rket in Spite of the heavy arrivals of fore n wheat. The British Wheat so far bro • ht to arket has not been of good qual ty.

In Minnesota, Illihois and Iowa it was very severe on Sunday I- and, Monday nights, and corn and potatoes were very much damaged. Advice from thirteen counties in -different parth of the State of Wisconsin show that there were some frost on Sunday mornin and a very heavy frost on Monday 'morning. The cern suffered great damage,and a report • comes from some places that three-quar- ters of it is killed. Tole cco, of which there is a large acreage inlItock and Jef- ferson Counties, is tot4ly destroyed. Hops; buckwheat, potato* and all vines in loW land are badly inju ed.
