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

aud early in 1813 he requested to see me, and told me
of the situation of Assistant in the Laboratory of the

that he thus gratified my desires as to scientific emplay-
ment, he still advised me not to give up the prospect

Finally, through his good efforts, I went to the Royal

boratory; and in October of the same year went with

He will have to direct bis attention to other acts and

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-

temptible as to be beneath the notice of any intelligent

The Queen's Printer informs us that he has been out

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,

indulges in some petulant twaddle which advancing

the President has led to the resignation of the mem-

While Faraday worked at it, we are told, his inventive

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-

placed in a false position thereby, nor can they with
justice to themselves, much longer permit him to
