Wednesday, March 2Q, 1807. ee 2x THE NEW GOVERNMENT. A Royal Gazette exten, dated tho 15th instant, and issued from the Office ef the Queeh's Printer, the Hon. E. Whelan, gives the names of the new Executive as follows: : The Hon. George Coles, President of Council. ** Joseph Hensley, W. W. Lord. A. A. McDonald. Robert P. Haythorne, Esq. Geo. W, Hiowlan, Esq. H. J. Calbeck, Esq. Alex, Laird, Esq. Benj. Davies, Esq. : The following appointments have also been made :~- Colonial Secretary—llon, George Coles. Attorney General—Hon. J. Hensley. Treasurer—Uon. James Warburton. Controller of ( ustoms—W. E, Clark, Esq. Queen's Printer—Hon. E. Whelan, Assistant Col. Seeretary—J. W. Morrison, Esq. Clerk of the Leg. Council—Joba Ball, Esq. The Government, as-here given, contains within ftaelf the elements of strength and permanence. Im- practicable yiews tad obstinacy may mar its popularity, and neutralise {ts eitprts ta tegislate for the benefit of the country. The force. ot association, however, and Desrirvurion ww tae Sovruman Srares, —Meetings have been held in some of the principal cities in the States to take measures to alleviate the necessities of he poor in the South. A letter received in New York from the Southern Relief Commission, dated Lan- easterville, Lancasivr District, 8. C., Feb. 18, says :—- «* This Disirict, owing to the disasters consequent upon the war, and the almost total failure ef the craps, is in a most deplorable state of destitution of the necessaries to support its people and live stock, The District contaiis about ten thousand population, and mot more, perhaps, than twenty families of the whole’ basis, or that any serious évils have resulted trom its adoption. In Belgiuny, where thé land is so subdivided that almost every tiller of, the soil is restricted to balf- a-dozen acreg, the position ot the Belgian peasants is, by the concurrent testimony of all writers. superior to that of the sdiuo tlass in every other country fe —. We would judge, from- these facts, that the lande system meectheeass Bfitish” Empiro has more to do with the famines which: periodically visit it,than any- thing else—rmoré, “Hf“all“dvents, than most British writers, who have exanjimed.tho subject, are disposed to admit. There is nothing in the social habits of the people of India, or in the!regult of their crops of recent years, to satisfactorily acceunt for the famine of last year, any more than there is in the habits of the {rishman who lives in poverty in his own country, and remores to another portion of the Empire, and becomes rich. There is something beneath the surface which requires probing—and the sooner it is discovered and remedied the’ better, unless, indeed, in imitation of the laws of ngture, we come to the conclusion that the stronger and more ferocious animals are perfectly right in preying upon tlie weaker species, ; t Pie Le oon Mitinge’s Farm Lanrenx.—Mr, Geo.

The opportunity, as we observed in a former No. of the Heranp, is favorable for the Liberal Party to dis- play their administrative abilities. They have the experience of the past to guide them, and the numerical strength to adopt a vigorous, patriotic and progressive policy, We hope that judgment and ability will not be wanting to make the best use of these advantages.

All the main avenues of the building, as well us those.of the garden, are named after the various parts of the world. Thus, the great avenue which leads from the front entrance of the park across grounds through the entire length of the building and ain across the grounds to the back entrance, in all a distancé ot three thousand two hundred feet, 1s called the Avenue d'Europe. The broad passages which radiate from the centre to the circumference are named after French provinces, while in the ie ge portions ef the building are strects called Holland, Belgium, Russia, Austria, England, &e., every country repre- sented having a street bearing ils name. - For the first week the price of admission will be twenty francs (four dollars) fer the opening day, and five francs for the remaining six days A(ter that the general rate of adwission will be one franc.

Each nation will have one. see how the Queen's Printing could have gone other- wise than it did. Mr. Whelan is pledged te oppose Confederation ; and we scarcely think he will venture to violate that pledge. Should he do so, the Govern- ment would be justified, nay, bound, to cancel his ap- pointment, The various other publio offices still at the disposal of the Government will, without doubt, be given to its supporters, and the “ new broom” 'yigor- ously applied to its enemies. A bold, straightforward course, which will generously recognize the claims of its most prominent supporters, is the one which is best calculated to inspire confidence in the Govern ment, as it is also the one which is expected by both friends and foes. We shall say no mere at present about this matter, nor have we deemed it necessary, in so far as the Liberal members ure concerned, te say this much, but rather to counteract the efforts which are cunningly made by the enemies of the Liberals to sow dissensions within their ranks.
