CANADIAN POLITICS.
ae. «(Brom the British Colonist.) :
Wan the late Lord Sydenham assumed the Government
of Upper Canada, he found the affairs of the Provinge in
_ great, confusion, the country sunk in debt,. without the ne-
essary credit to obtain relief, and:the people divided into
violent opposing parties. ‘fhe attention of the Government
was directed ito remedy these evils, the Union of the Pro-
vinces was effected, and the eredit of the Home Government |
procured for a loan of money in England, for the benefit of
the Province, on advantageous terms. it.was the wish .of|
the ‘Government, and of every inhabitant who desired for |
peace, and. to see tha country prosper, that with the Union oc,
the Provinces there should be an unioa of the people,—that |
forgetting. past differences, animosities and heart-burnings,
all should. unite, aud the only: rivaliry-be; who'should do the
most to advance those practical measures for the improve-
ment of the Colony: which were'so much required. Unfor-
tunately the spirit of discord did not disappear from amongst |
us, and the first firm and decided intimation that was given
hy Sir Charles Bagot of tho determination of the Govern-
mentto discountenance all proceedings that tended to en-
courage and promote strife and ill-feeling among the people,
was in his reply to an address from the Johnstown District,
in which address objections had been made to the Treasurer
that had been appointed by Sir R. D. Jackson during his
short. administration of affairs. These objections did not
arise out of any: act committed by the Treasurer, in his of-
ficial capacity, but had reference to some charges of disloy-
alty that had been preferred against him previous to his ap-
pointment, for which, had he been tried and found guilty,
it was purely the prerogative of the Crown to punislt oer to
\ pardon the offender. ‘The charges were quite general, nothing
specific, nothing accusing him of official misconduct, and
Sir Charles Bagot declined to entertain the complaint, stating
that, in the absence of such a charge, he could never consent
to subject to the general and retrospective investigation
which they requested the conduct of any public officer in
this country. He called on them to lay aside by-gone dis-
sentions aud party distinctions, to tura their minds to the
practical measures necessary for the improvement of the
country, and to prove their loyalty and earn the gratitude of
their fellow-subjects by making this Province what by na-
ture it was intended to be, the most valuable dependency of
the British Crown—a source of wealth in peace, anda means
of strength in war. An address bas now been’ presented
from the sane quarter, to His [xcellency Sir C. Metcalfe, in
which they offer to His Excellenty assurances of support,
inall constitutional efforts which he may deem necessary
‘for promoting the peace, prosperity and enterprise of the
country, for securing the happiness of the people, and for
_ binding them in indissoluble bonds to the Parent State,—
with other sentiments of loyalty and devition, which His
Excellency in his reply declares to be entirely in unison
with his feelings. But there is one paragraph in this Ad-
dress, with reference to the prevailing distress in the country,
in which they desire his Excellency to suggest a remedy for
the evils that afflict them, and to restore them to a state of
prosperity, contentment and happiness; to which His Ex-
cellency replies, that he deeply laments the general distress:
that he has uot the presumption to suppose he can suggest
aremedy for such an evil,—but that no endeavour on his
part shall be wanting to promote prosperity, contentment
and happiness, to obtain whioh, he anxiously hopes all will
unite in one harmonious effort; and, in replying to another
Address, His Excellency truly says, that “more depends
upon the inhabitants themselves than uponthe Government.”
It is obvious from this and what follows, that Sir C. Metealfe
is not less anxious than Sir C. Bagot has been to promote
good feeling in the community, and to unite the energies of
the people in one general effort to advance practical mea-
sures of feneral utility to the province. i
We find, no matter from what party proceeding, that Sir
Charles Metcalfe condemns the practice of assailing their
opponents, or imputing to them unworthy motives. We have,
’ in the first place, an instance of this in His Exxcelleney’s re-
ply to the West Gwillimbury Address, adopted ata public
meeting, the members composing which recorded their ap-
proval of the policy. pursued hy Sir Charles Bagot. In their
Address. of congratulation to Sir Charles Metcalfe, the fol-
lowing paragraph occurs :—

“The unprecedented peace tiat prevails throughout United
Canada, happily effected by the constitutional’ and conciliatory
policy of your revered predecessor, though opposed bya few dis-
carded from, or disappointed in office or power, can never weigh
against the mighty strength ofthe verdict of the Province, net
only expressed by a large majority in the House of Assembly, but
by Addresses toa greater extent than were ever yet presented to
a Governor on his departure.”

‘To this His Excellency replies—
“(My satisfaction at: the receipt of your Address would have
been unalloyed, had it not contained an imputation of unworthy |
Motives against some of your fellow-countrymen.”
» Again, an Address from the opposite party— from the op-
_ ponents of Sir Charles Bagot’s Government in the Talbot
_ District, to Sir Charles Metcalfe, contains a number of gene-
ral’ charges of disloyalty against parties who have recently
been appointed to subordinate offices under Government
througheut the country. This party met, with no greater
encouragement from His Excellency, in following such a
course, than he afforded to the inhabitants of West Gwillia-
bury. We quote the following from their Address, as it
contains the pith of the whole :—
~ We feel it tobe due boih to Your Excellency and to our-
selves, thus early to express our deep dissatisfaction at the man-
ner in which the governmentof this Colony has been adminis-
tered, during the last two years. We have found men notorious
for disaffection called to high offices in the Colony; we have seen
One person, an Officer of Militia, who absconded from the Pro-
vince at the outbreak of the rebellion, and returned after it was
Over, appointed to the office of Treasurer ofa District; another,
a Post Master, dismissed by Sic Francis*Head on account.of his
intimate connexion with the rebel leaders, appointed to another
Troasurership ; and a third, who was the first . prisoner taken by
the loyalists on the march from Toronto to Gallows Hill, appoint-
ed to the responsible and important office of Sheriff; some have
been appointed Magistrates, who were arrested on charges of trea-
son and sedition, or who privately countenanced the insurrection;
and even some of the present members of Her Majesty’s Eexecu-
tive Council refused to take up arms in defence of the Crown, and
none of these persuns have expressed regret for the course then
taken by them; we have witnessad a system of terrorism towards
office holders of all tanks, which has prevented the expression of
their opinions, and the exercise, of the elective franchise ; Wwe
also find that the system called.“ Responsible. Government’ has!
been introduced contrary to the enactments of the Union Bill,
and contrary to the instructions of Her Majesty's Secretary of
State for the Coionies, Lord John Russell.”
These statements may be true or false, but they refer te
- times gone by,—to what had occurred years before His Ex-
cellency’s arrival in this Province,—the recital of which Sir
Charles Metcalfe does not seem at all disposed to encourage

.

the revival of. There is’ not in this address a single eharge
made against any of the parties alluded to, for malversation

_ of office, atid aceordingly Sir Charles Metcalfe, in his oul |
says :— : ‘

“As the representative of our most gracious Sovereign, I am
bound to listen with attention to your complaints, and to do all in
my power to remove any cause for well grounded dissatisfaction.
But I deprecate that spirit which leads to reproachful and often.
Unjust imputations against fellow countrymen, whom we are
bound by Christian duty to love and cherish. {tis my anxious.
desire that all parties should forget and forgive past injuries and
offences ; ‘and that no recollection should remain of by-gone
troubles, except the gratitude due to those who stood forth for
their Queen and Country in the hour of need, a seutiment which
{ shall never cease to feel, whatever’ measures it may be my du-
+ Sao adopt for the general welfare, aided by the advice of the

_ Executive Council, andaecting inscovenrrence with the Legisla-
tive Bodies; and with anxious attention to the wants;and wishes
of the people, evinced through their Representatives; by which
course your loyal aspirations for the perpetuation of the connec:
tion of this great Colony with the Mother Country, will not, trust,,
be disappointed.” — Bef) ; ex $k :

We shall only further allude, on this head, to the reply:
delivered by Sir Charles Metcalfe to the address of the citi-
zens of Montreal. He says, with reference to Sir Charles
Baer ioc pa dst fo4 jinpar-
_ “+f join you in deploring the affecting circumstances which de- |
prived you of a Governor, justly endeared to.you,. shall re-

ing of affection in your hearts.
of Her Majesty’s suvjects will makezyou happy—I can gladly |
assure you, Lhatno. exertion on my part shall’ be wanting to se- |
cure that result; for dshould wot faithfully discharge the duty |
entrusted to me by our Gracious Sovereign, if f did not make
justice and equal regard to all classes the guiding stars of my ad-
ministration.” ie a ae

But.when specific charges’ are made, in such tangible |
form, in reference to local affairs, as to reader them so plau- |
sible, that inquiry into the circumstances is deemed advisable, |
and that some good is likély to flow frem such inquiry, we |
find that’ Sir Charles Meteal e listens to them with attention.
Of this we have evidence; iu the-proceedings of a meeting
held at Barrie, by the opponents of the Government of Sir |
Charles Bagot. “The parties composing this inveting, in cer-
tain resolutions, which were afterwards embodied in an ad-
dress to Sir Charles Metcalfe, prefer various complaints, in
referanee to the management of the local affairs of the dis-
trict: te this His Excellency replies—“ With respect to the
matters of whieh you-complain, enquiry shall be made, with
a view to apply such remedies as may be practicable, toany
defects that may be found to exist.”

We presume we have said enough to show that the aim
and object of Sir Charies Metealte is, to unite all parties in
the pursuit of ong common object, for the general good; to
rule with impartiality and justice for the benefit of all elas-
ses of the eomintinity, Without distinction; and to advance,
by every means in his power, the welfare-aad prosperity of
this iuportant appendage of the Britis Crown, committed
to his care. z : f '

We would beg, however, toremark, on the other hand,
that it would be just as well to avoid making appointments,

even to minor oflices, of persons who may have been impli- |

cated in the unfortunate disturbances’ about which so much
noise is made by certain parties. The Government can, with-
out difficulty, find, in every district in-the Province, men at
least equally capable of filling these offices, whose charac-
ters cannot be impeached, who have always held: moderate
views in polities, and against’ whom, if appointed, no valid
objection could) be fairly advanced by any party. By fol-
lowing this course, they would win the respect and the con-
fidence of many who now look upon them with suspicion
and. distrust; they would strengthen theit position in all
parts of the provinee, and they could with greater confidence’
meet the Assembly, by whom all these matters will be fully
enquired into. In saying se much, we but speak the senti-
ments of many who have addressed us on this subject, not
office-seekers, but those whose object is to see the present
Government of Canada prosper.

If equal, protection to all classes ‘ stubble in

‘A

DEMISE:OF A DISTINGUISHED GALLOVIDIAN.
(From the Dumfries Courier.) :

It is with sincere regret we record, on the 26th Febuary
last, at his residence, Billies, St. John’s, Newfoundland, the
death ofthe Hon. Wim. Carson, long a member of the Legis-
lative Assembly, and repeatedly elected to the office of
Speaker or President of the same body, in the land of bis
adoption. The deceased, whe had reached his 73d year,
was a native of the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright, where his
aneestors, atone period, held extensive possessions in the
direction of Deebank, now called Agreenan. From a tomb-
stone in the old burying-place of ‘Tongland, it appears that
some of these flourished in the time of the Curates; but from
changes not easily accounted for, the patrimonial estate pas-
sed into other hands, whether wholly or in part we are not
informed. Still the family remained highly respectable; and
his earlier education completed, the deceased, like his dis-
tinguished brother, now retired from practice in Liverpool,
became a medical student, graduated as a physician, and al-
most from his first outset in life secured in no ordivary
degree the confidence and respect of a discriminating public.
in 1808; Dr. Carson removed to Newfoundland, where he
speedily acquired a high name, or, in other words, the status
assigned to minds gifted like his own; and for many years,
whether as a practitioner ora politician, became admittedly
ene of the most disinterested, patriotic, and, in his sphere,
indefatigably useful men that ever existed. With the best
interests of that Island, he, at whatever sacrifice of time and
money, unweariedly identified himself; and, to the last, ad-
vocated the cause of administrative reform, through good
report and bad, in many things formerly faulty, but now
happily amended through his exertions. About five years
ago the deceased visited’ this country on the affairs of the
colony, had repeated interviews with the Executive Govern-
mest, and left impressions behind him in the highest places
which strengthened not alittle his hands on his return to a
settlement rapidly improving around its sea-board, although
still exhibiting the phenemenon ofan interior, from its cen-
tinuous forest or wildeitness character, to a great extent terra
incognita. It was on that oecasion.we had the honour of
-being introduced to Dr..Carsen; and itis but justice to add,
that but rarely, if ever, has it been our fortune to meet, whe-
ther mentally or corporally, with what we wojild calla
nobler specimen of humanity.

In Newfoundland, as in Britain, there are different sides
of polities, although the classified party distinctions may not
be exactly the same as ourown. . The journals, too, naturally
take their tone from the prevailing shades of local feeling ;
and it is from ene of these, an opponent in politics, that wé
copy the following merited tribute to the memory of the la-
mented deceased :—

‘ He obiained, in his professional character, a confidence which
secured an extent’ of practice never before enjoyed in ‘Newfound-
land by: any member ofthe Faculty—which proofs of the estima-
tion in which his skill and attainments Were held continued until
he retired from professional life some -years since. ‘From an early
period of his residence in the colony, the lamented Doctor-mani-
fasted a warm,interest in its political, affairs and’ condition, and
was confessedly the leader in those proceedings. which at length
led to the éstablishment of a Representative Government... Since.
then he has been no idle or indifferent actor in our’ transactions,
having held a seat in the Assembly since its institution. He was
the only Representative in the Colony (retaining bis elected cha-
racter) ever elevated to the dignity of Crown adviser, with which
he was clothed some months since.

« However opifion-may yary as to the soundness of the politi-
cal views of. tha respected individual whose demise, we are r:-
cording, those even to. whom he was. most violently opposed will
not deny that his conduct was based on a conscientious conviction
of what he deemed mostjustand right. He wasa man of liberal,
perhaps nltra-radical principles; but the unvarying consistency
with which he acted in public life—ofien at the sacrifice of what

in spring, the land not well worked, and the planting fin#sh-

although there was a general failure throughout the country. |
In 1836, the seed potato was obtained from the neighbour- ;
hood of Edinburgh. They were buffs, and treated iv Lad
manner as described above. The land, a fine dry light soil,

was in oat stubble after old grass, and full ef wire worm. |
The dung was very dry, the land well worked, the braird

out the lime this season. In 1837, the seed potato was ob-
tained from Leader Water, dons and blues. A fine light |
loam was well werked, and dunged with well made dung.

‘The crop was planted in the second week in May, and prov- |
eda fine one. No one planted without the lime this seasan. |
In 1838, the seed potatoes came from Gala Water, dons and |
blues, which were planted in the last week in May, on land
not well worked and the dung very dry; but the braird was ;
without a blank, and the crop fine. Two. bolls of seed pota- |
toes from Peebles-shire were tried without lime, and proved!

‘acomplete failure, the insects having eaten the sets toa

shell. ‘These were planted im the first week of May. In}
1839, the seed potatoes were from Gala Water, buffs, and

which were planted in tha last wesk of April, in strong clay

soil, not well worked, and the dung very dry; but the braird

was very regular and. the crop fine. There were none plant-

ed without lime this season, In 1840, again the seed pota-

toes were from Gala Water, dons and blues, which were

planted in the end of May, in a light loam, full of wire-worm,

hut well worked, and the dung very dry. . The crop was fine,

few drills were tried, as an experiment, without the lime,

and they were so complete a failure that they were ploughed
down.

Govennor Metcatre.—When Lord Lake was Com-
mander-in-Chief in India, he, on several occasions, evinced
his want of confidence in the civil departments of the Com-
pany’s service, particularly on the mareh to Bhurtpere, when
he expressed a wish that those who, as he said, only incom-
moded the march, should be left behind, as they were useless.
This remark soon got wind among those for whom it was
intended; aregiment was ordered to storm a breach—as It
advanced, a young civilian, armed only witha walkiug stick,
was seen at its head, accompauied it to the attack, and re-
mained with it during the engagement, in order to prove to
the Commander that civilians were sometimes soldiers. This
young man is now Sir Charles Theophilus Metoalfe, Gover-
nor General of Canada.-—Cobourg Star.

Danerr or Eartuquakes.—The great danger of Barth-
quakes consist neither in the shaking of the earth, the dread-
fal sounds which accompany. it, nor yet in the opening of
the greund, for that is a very rare phenomenon, but in the
fall of houses, churches, and other public” buildings, and in
the dreadful centlagrations which almost invariably follow
the overthrow of the buildings. In the great earthquake at
Lisbon, in 1755, not less thau 60,000 persons were destroyed
in six minutes, of whom more than three-fourths perished
from the fall of ruined buildings. In the earthquake at Aleppo,
in 1822, 30,000 persons were destroyed from the same cause,
and none from any other. In the earthquake at Carraceas,
in 1812, 10,000 persons were buried under the ruins of that
unforttinate city. In the earthquake at) Martinique, only
four years ago, many hundred persens perished under the
ruins of Pert Royal. in St. Domingo, only two years ago,
10,000 persons were buried at Port Haytien, or were destroy-
ed in the conflagration which afterwards broke out amongst
its ruins; and at Guadaloupe, in the earthquake on the 8th
of February, it 1s feared that from four to five thousand peo-
ple have perished under the ruins of Point-a- Petre. ’

The estate of Bronte, granted to Lerd Nelson by the King
of Naples, is now a subject. of litigation in the Court of
Chancery. The case involves questions in civil, Sicilian,
and munieipal law, such as never occurred in any previous
case. The estate includes a part of Mount Etna.

Tae Inrant Princess.—Her Royal Highness is a re-
markable fine infant, not so delicately formed as her sister,
the Princess Royal, and in features more resembling the
Prince of Wales... She has large light blue eyes, and ‘hair
which promises to be flaxen. ~

Mr. Baunen.—lIt is with deep regret we have to state
that. the valuable life of this talented engineer has been
placed in jeopardy, by an-accident arising out of an amiable
wish to amuse the children ofa friend.. ‘The father and Mr.
Brunel pretended, by a sleight of hand to pass money from
the mouth to the ears, and vice versa, when Mr. Brunel, plac-
inga half sovereign in his mouth, it unfortunately slipped
into the throat, where it stuck, and every effort to remove it
proving ineffectual, Sir P. Brodie was called in, and an
operation, by making an incision in the thorax, performed,
but without success. Mr: Brunel still remains ina very
precarious state. d

Massacre or THE Governor or THE Marquesas Is-
LANDS AND Surre.—We regretto state, that very melancho-
ly intelligence has just been brought to this country from the
new French settlement in the Pacific by a merchant vessel,
the Sarah Ann, schooner, which left Otaheite on the 23d of
October. It appears that the French Governor of the Mar-
quesas, with fourteen attendants, had been on a visit to the
native King, Nicahevar, where they had been hospitably
entertained, and suspecting no danger, they left his residence
to return to the French station, without, probably, taking
proper precaution against the treachery, of the natives. They
were attacked on the way,and the Governor and fourteen
yersons were killed. This unfortunate event proves the un-
iriendly disposition of ‘the natives; but what will it avail
them? The French Gevertiment will instantly send euta
sufficient force to crush all oppositon. -

New Governor or Bomsay.—The Clare Journal con-
tains the following announcement:—We understand that
Sir John Fitzgerald, at preset residing at ‘Toonagh, in this
county, has heen appointed to the distinguished situation of
Governor of the Presidency of Bombay. We_ believe this
gallant officer has séen much service in India, and the ap- |
pointment may be, therefore, looked upon as judicious on |
the part of the Ministry. ;

Itis generally understood that Her Majesty has been gra-
ciously pleased to signify to the Duchess of Inverness that

would have promoted his individual interests—stamps his.charac-
ter, with an amount of integrity to which few public. men ean lay
claim. Dr. Cavson has lefi behind him no better wisher. for the
well-being and prosperity of the Colony.”

A SIMPLE MEANS OF PREVENTING THE FAILURE OF THE
POTATO CROP.
(From the Transactions of the Highland Sociely of Scotland.)
It will be allowed by all practical farmers, that the Potato:
sets, when cut, discharge alarge quantity of the fluid or
juice, the loss of which has a tendency to weaken the ger-
minating powers of the sets, and at. the satvie time exposes
them to undergo fermentation in the heap, In 1833, we had
eur seed potatoes from the parish of Penicuik. When cut,
1 desired the woman to riddle a shovel-ful of het lime on
every basket-ful of new-cut sets, They were turned over
and over again, until the lime was taken up by the sets, when
they were put into a heap three or four feet, thick, where b
have kept them ‘for two or three weeks. The hot lime had
the effect of stopping the flow of the juice, and of enerusting
a strong skin on the sets. This ernst, on the one hand, pre-
serves the sap being drawn away from the sets in a dry sea-
son, among dry soil, and repelling wet, in a wet season,
among damp earth...The sorts of potatoes experimented on
were dens and blues. The lancl was in-a fine’ moist state, |
well worked, and the dung well made ; and they were ridged
in the last'week of April. ‘There was a regular braird, and
the crop was fine. In 1834, our seed potatoes, dons, and
blues, were obtained from the same parish, and treated in
the same manner.-- The ground was very dry, the dung dry,
and the heat great when they were planted; so dry, that the
dust was flying from the strong clay soil, when. drilled up.
The braird. was regular, and the crop fine, withthe exception
of eleven drills, which were planted: without the sets being
limed, and which proved a complete failure, and ef some ox-

she may continue to occupy the apartments in the Palace-so
long inhabited by ,his Royal Highness the’ Duke of Sussex ;
but that, as the Duchess will keep up a more limited esta-
blishment-than the late Duke, it is expected her Grace will
select a. suite in the wing for her household, leaving the
other rooms at the disposal of Gevernment.

RemarxaR_e Case or Conscrence.—The Suffolk Herald
publishes the following :—* Our readers may frequently
have seen advertisements in the daily papers acknowledging
on the part of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, certain pay-
ments made by anonyineus_ persons, who, having defrauded
the revenue, make this restitution, and it is called ‘conscience
money’ “A remarkable instance of this kind has come to us
from a most credible soureé. An individual wrote a letter

‘to the Exchequer office, saying, that although he had return-

ed his income tax correctly on his ostensible business, yet
that he was extensively engaged in smuggling, and as his
returns from that source were very great, he had it on his
conscience not to have made any return -of that, and he
therefore enclosed, as the» amount of three years’ tax,
fourteen thousand pounds! Every effort has been made to
discover the conscientious contrabandist, but hitherto with-
out effect.. The fact may be relied on.”

A woman’s whole life is a history of the affections. The
heart is her world. It is there her ambition strives for em-
pire ; it is there her avarice seeks for hiddentreasure. She
sends forth, her sympathies, in adventures ; she embarks her
soul in the traffic of affection; and if shipwrecked, her case
is hopeless, for it is a-bankruptey of the heart.

It has been estimated by Dr. Thomas Dick, that’since the
creation of the world, fourteen thousand millions eof human
beings have fallen in ‘the ‘battles which man has waged
against his fellow creature—man. If the’ fore-fingers only
of these beings were to be laid ina straight line they would
out-reach more than 660,000 miles beyond the moon.
