pending it to,.some purpose. “Lis a grievous mistake in
a Gowernment not to encourage and acknowledge talent,
even if partizanship must exist, for [ haye po doubt but
we have among us a sufficient number of men capable
of doing justice to that very important branch of our

ublie service,

The Hons Mr. Haythorae is the only gentleman-whom
I have yet noticed to take a lively interest im the matter,
At least he is the only one who appeass to, me to have
& proper idea of. what really good roads are, and how
they could bo materially improved here. He need not
be ashamed to risk making a ‘ hobby” of the subject,
for [ haye no doubt but he will ultimately achieve some
good by éarnést and bone’st persistence.

Although an huinble individual,-I would not be afraid
to guarantee that [ could prove satisfactorily te any
Committee selected by. the Legislarure, that, with, the
magorias we possess, and the money that is now being
expended, judiciously applied, wo could have roads

” The féregoing remarks have suggested themselves to
me On seging the condition of the roads in the First
Road District of King’s County. I cannot imagine what
our Government must have been thinking of when they
seleczed. the present Commissioner, For my own part,
1 can only account for bis appointment on the supposi-
tion that he is the nominee of some magnate of sufficient
influence to force yogis ering whether they be popular
or not. The last incumbent was a gentleman whose
talent was ay perceptible as is the ignorance of the pre-
sentone. Mr. W. Stearns had suavity of manners com-
bined with sufficient firusnose and: resolution to. wia him
the esteem ot all he came in centact with, and he had
the roads better done than our ‘‘ euphontously named ”

observe that this took place at the end of the year 1812,
aud early in 1813 he requested to see me, and told me
of the situation of Assistant in the Laboratory of the
Royal Institution, then just vacant. At the same time
that he thus gratified my desires as to scientific emplay-
ment, he still advised me not to give up the prospect

Mistress ; and, in a pecuniary point of view, but poorly
rew:irded those who devoted themselves to ber service.
ie smiled at my notion of the superior moral feeling of
philosophic men, and said he would leave me to the ex-
perience of afew years to set me right on the matter,
Finally, through his good efforts, I went to the Royal
Tnstitution, early in March, 1818, as Assistant in the La-
boratory; and in October of the same year went with
bim abread, as his assistant in experiments and in
writing. I returned with him in April 1815, resumed
my station in the Royal Institution, and have, as yon
know, ever since remained there.” Sir. Humphry’s

asol Faraday, and equally honourable to both, It links
the history of the one to that of the other. Faraday 1s
stated to have been borm in 1794; he was therefore
eighteen when he thus made acquaintance with Davy,
and obtained through him his firet appointment at the

that Mr. Pope's English, Canadian and Brazilian expe-
ditions, which entailed upon the colony an expunditure
of thousands of pounds, bave been productive of the

ought, if it were possible, to teach tbe brazen character
who. writes for the Zslander a little modesty when speak-
ing about the Loan Bill,—his unscrupulous attacks upon
which merely strengthen the position of the Government.
He will have to direct bis attention to other acts and
measures of the Government than this if he desires its
spevdy overthrow, and whenever that may take place,
we feel assured that the people will insist upon the ex-
clusion from the Government of every patriotic individual
who now plots and sighs for the opportunity to sell us to
Canada. This, perhaps, may be considered ranting and
raving by the luminaries of Confederation; but op ex-
amination, it will be found to be ‘the voice of the vast
majority of the voters of this Colony. The assertions
of the /slander that a loan for settling our Land diffi-
culty would prove ruinous to the Island, are so con-
temptible as to be beneath the notice of any intelligent
man,

The Queen's Printer informs us that he has been out
of town enjoying himself. By sufferance of the Go-
vernment, and the Legislature, though without the
sanction of the people, the means of doing so have been
placed at his disposal. We regret, however, to find
that the ** healthful breezes” of Stanhope have not im-
proved either his temper or bis judgment. In fact, in
his irascibility he has aliogether forgotten the conditions
upon which the Queen's Printing was given to him,
and when we remind him of this fact, he merely in-
indulges in some petulant twaddle which advancing

President Johnson and his ministers have ceme to di-
tect blows. Since the passage of the reconstruction
measures of the late Congress which deprived the Pre-
sident ofall power in the State, the latter has brought
the difference between himself and Congress to a de-
cis've issue by dismissing Secretary Stauton and other
so-called Radical officials. This step on the part of
the President has led to the resignation of the mem-

bers of his Cabinet, which resignations have not yet
been accepted. It is dificult to say what the proxi-
mate or remote results of thiv ministerial row will be
to the policy and destiny of the United Statea, but
the reconstruction of the whole Union, particularly of
the South, cannot fail to be hastened thereby,

While Faraday worked at it, we are told, his inventive
talent had displayed itself in the construction of an ¢l-

it was the sight of these, to which his master, one Rie-
bau, of Blandford Street, London, one day called the
Attention of a customer, Mr, Dance, of Manchester
Street (such names ought to be remembered), that in-
duced the latter, who was one of the old members o.
the Royal Institution, to take the béy with him to hear

perimental manipulation, be has made the philosophy of

and women. Meanwhile his splendid discoveries in el-

al science, and the singular combination, in all his views
and speculations and methods of provedure, of the most
patient vigilance in examination, and the most seli-de-

est originality and boldnese, have placud him by uni-

He died in London, on the 28th ult, in the 78d year of

a distinguished devotee, and humanity a most. useful

a stranger, seeing him only in pene, not to be attracted
and charmed by the unsophisticated simplicity and

ostentatiously proclaims his ‘belief that a general’
election will take place this fall upon the question of
Confederation, and tells the Legislature and the people
that by remaining out of the Dominion, they are only
hugging ** isolation and obscurity,” the public may be
well pardoned if they take it for granted that the Go-
vernment entertain the same views, and have instruct-
ed him to make them pubhe. In order to place
the Queen's Printer in his trie position before the pub-
lic, we ask the question if the Government have deter-
mined upon a dissolution, on the question of Confeder-
ation, or if they have any facts before them which war-
rants the Queen’s Printer’s statements? if not, by what
authority does he hazard the statement, We.state

the prophecies of the Qneen’s Printer are. The Go-
vernment and their supporters in. the Legislature are
placed in a false position thereby, nor can they with
justice to themselves, much longer permit him to
oeoupy the anomalous position of being the paid expo-
