MONSIEUR Du CHAILLU AND TUE GORILLA,

Monsieur P. 3. Da Chaillu, the famous traveller, Las
been lecturing to immense audiences in this city on the
subject of bis exploration in Equatorial Africa, He is
an undersized, delicate looking man of middle age. The
sun has left its tan upon his face, which fs rather serious
and thougbttul, and us he wears a white necktie and
vlack voat, be has the appearance of a retorned mission-
ary. In glanving at bis slender body, which bears the
scars of poisoned arrows, and which bas been olten
prostrated by fatigue and fever and exposure among
savages in an inhospitable climate, one would not be
impressed with the idea of great endurance, and per-
seVerance that scorns Obstaeles, and physical courage,
which faces‘dinger with a soal ef fire and nerves of

steel. .

¥ee that small, quiet. modest man, with scarcely
strength enough to luld a musket at arm's length, bas
spent eight years among the untatored natives of Africa
and penetrated regions which nv other white ian has
ventured to visit, Under a trepical sun—in malarious
digtricta-—be bas waded swanps, climbed mountains,
threaded jungles and woods, crossed deserts, some-
timesganatiended, sovhetines accompanied by savages,

There were wiseacris who said he was a ‘* humbug;
there were wo such animals as apes of such gigantic
stature. Ife had seen ovrang outangs through the mag-
ulyimg spectacles of fancy.’ Some learned men and
natyealists disputed his reports, and reviewers took up
the quegtion until his bduk was impaled with criticism,
so he carried the war into Africa a second time, and now
returas in triumph to vindicate his former account of

It is confidently expected that, before the meeting of
the Legislature, many of those Proprietors will have!

from the burden of paying interest upon a large unin-|
vested loan. Tow satisfactory would it have been to
the Islander lad the Government, through its agent,
the Hon, Mr. Hensley, negotiated the Loan immediate-
ly on his arrival in England, without first having ob-
tained™ lands in which to invest it? We can well {ancy
the denunciations in which the proprietary organ would
have indulged had the Government been guilty of so
stupid an action; but the course pursued was the very
best that could be adopted, If the Proprietors consent
to sell upon fair terms, they can obtain the money down
without injury to the trade or finances of this country ;
and, if they refuse to sell, the Legislature will see what
can be done in the way of compulsion. The policy of
the Government upon the Land Question seems to be
very plainly laid down in the Lzaminer of the 21st ult.
The leading article in that issue bears the impress of
honesty and boldness, and the principles therein ccn-
tained will, without doubt, be vigorously maintained.
The writer of the article in question asks why the
“feudal grief” of landiordism, which oppressed the
people of the Old Country, should pursue them to this
‘sland alone of all the British Colonies, and answers
the question by saying— ** because the Imperial Govern-
ment, just 100 years ago, acting with lavish improvi-
dence, alienated lands which should Lave Leen preserv-
ed with jealous care for the benefit of future genera-
tions!, Is there no remedy for this grievance? Must
it continue to be the prolific source of heart-burnings
and disquietude, occasionally ewelling up into open de-
fiance of the law—perpetually absorbing the attention
of our Legislature, of the Executive, and of the most
thoaghiful and acutest minds amongst us? Bust it for
all time stand in the way of our public improvements,
and absorb the profits of our labor? Must proprietors’
reats, in short, forever constitute a sort of preference
stock, a first charge on our Colonial capital? We have
always imagined, vainly, perhaps, that under the Bri-
lsh Constitution a remedy is provided for every griev-
ance, and that such need only be proved, when redress
follows as a natural consequence.” ‘This is putting the
cause between the Legislature and the Landlords in its
true light. If the latter prove contumaciods, and re-
fuse to part with their landa upon fair terms, the for-
mer must devise means to compel them to Co 80, They
cannot be allowed to retard forever the prosperity of
the country, and we Jook forward to the next meeting
of the Legislature fur some measure to effect this im-
portant object, which will meet with the sanction of the
Imperial Government, The Islander attributes the ar-
ticle from which we have quoted to the pen of the Hon,
Mr. Haythorne, and pronounces it as ** well calculated
to delude the ignorant.” If Mr. Haythorne (and we
ask the gentleman's pardon (or using his name) is the
author of the article in question, he has no reason to
feel ashamed of it. It does credit aliky to his bead and
heart, nor can we pereeive why he, above all men,
should wish ** to delude the ignorant,” and raise within
them /alee expectations with regard to their holdings.
His course ba» been honorable and consistent throug :-
out, He bad it in his power (thanks to the Fifteen
Years’ Purchase Bill) t. demand fifteen years’ pur-
chase, or 16s. 8d,, an acre for his land; but in the face
of that villainous measure, which betrayed the rights of
the Colony, he set a noble example to other Proprietors
by selling bis land to bis tenants at a much less figure
and upon far more favorable terms. Mr. Haythorue is
above being an office-seeker, and we are very sure that
the desire in him (if he entertains it at all) of either
leading a Government or forming a member of it, is
not #0 strong as to induce him ‘to delude the igno-
rant” for that porpose. We have every confidence in
his honesty andthe tenants may rest assured that the most

have heard of isolated cases only, such as one gentle-
man, who was swindled by Dawson out of £400 worth
of oil, on the very day on which he absconded. One most
industrious and honest young man was defrauded out
of £600 or £700, partly by book account, and partly by
forged notes of hand, Ax to the extent of his other for-
geries there isno exact knowledge ay yet, but that they

will abundantly prove, Another accomplished scheme
which Dawsen posseased, was to obtain avtes of hand
for certain amounts, and afterwards charge them for
