World’s Infidel Convention. ■'he last number of Lloyd Garrison’s l.iber ■r contains a call for a world’s convention of j3dels and Abolitionists, to meet in the city york, in May next. Their call opens ■ the following paragraph: Ye, the undersigned, desirous of promoting ■ imtifoveineut of our race, and believing ■ the doctrine of the divine authority of the ■le is one of the greatest hindrances to its ■fflfcvovemcnt —and believing further, that this ■trine lias no foundation in truth, and that Hjv and thorough investigation would lead speedy and general abandonment, invite a tl u whatever part of the ivm ld they may ■>]], who feel an interest in tiro matter, to ■ t 'us in New York in May next, and to ■ ]lt S uch measures as may he calculated to ■mid through the world what may appear to ■the truth on this important subject. ■’lie New York Herald says, these deluded vi* naries, who seek “ the improvement of thl human race” by abolishing the Bible and ■stitution and laws, and all the institutions wl|ioh constitute the strength, the glory, the i f i\, and the hope of civilized society, and iskind —these repulsive and atrocious i'a jcs _are but the active auxiliaries of the r.ml Holy Abolition Alliance. ‘he convention is to be held in New York, letiuie in May next, perhaps during the iversary week of our religions societies.— at a jubilee will be this omnium gatherum to Fourerite philosophers and socialist re formers, great and small! Tom Ibiiiie against Hit Bible: Fourier against all the experience anil teachings of six thousand years: the French Jacobin Club against the founders of the Constitution; the bats and owls of darlc- Bs against the eagles of the sun and the dotes of the ark! There may be much to dc plire, but there is nothing to fear. ■tesolutions have been adopted by the Le gislature of Kentucky, declaring that it is the duly of the United States, iu all future trea tie: with foreign countries, to see that the grisat staple of tobacco is placed on an equal finding with theother great agricultural iuter es sos our common country. The Kentucky Me tor in Congress are also instructed to urge the subject upon tlie attention of the General Government. ♦ ■'lie second session of the fifth Canadian Parliament was opened on Friday, 15th inst., by the Governor-General, who delivered a spr h before the Legislative Assembly. The prosperity of the country was alluded to in terms of great satisfaction. No mark of this prosperity can be stronger tlian that afforded by the extended lines of railway ; nor is this progress confined to one section of the Prov ince Eastward to St. Thomas, and Westward to Guelph and Hamilton, these lines, at once the sign and the cause of progress, are already completed. Since the last session, nearly two ■mired and fifty miles have been got into Working order, whilst it is hoped that not less then two hundred and fifty move will be finish ed before next year. B'he government in pursuance of the wishes of the Legislature, lias taken on itself to con clude a fresh arrangement calculated to secure a line of ocean steamers from the St. Lawrence to England.

Ily the McCormick System of Education, the reasoning powers are more expanded and better cultivated in five months than by the old : system in five years. Legitimate Education is llie object of this College ; without the aid of Theology, Music, duplicity, begging, fashion or foolery in any shape whatever. Three Rules will be rigidly enforced: Ist, early and punctual attendance : 2d, to learn very fast: Rrd, to behave remarkably well. The only required preparation for admission will be good character, over nine years of age, and exemption from all illegal and base asso ciation, and no students refused because of being graduated. An effort merely to please a people, being the first step towards duplicity and fraud, duty alone will be the Polar Star taught; and no Yankee drumming, for students, need be ex pected, nor no beggars employed by this Col lege.
