Tt waw not long before she found a captain
of a China-bound ehip, who willingly agreed
to take her a voy with him as a cabin-

; and to the Coleetial Kingdom she went, |
without betraying her sex or her ship. The
voyage was a long one, lasting no ‘eas than
£ve years; and when the vessel re-xppeared
in harbor it was as mate that our
distinguished heroine trod the decks. Her
good conduct had won promotion for her,
through all the intermediate grades. Upon
recetying her appointment she could no)
longer keep her secret, but with trae woman-
ly confidence informed the good-looking next-
highest officer of her womanhood. Like a
sepsible man and sailor, this officer at once |
fell in love with her, and the twain were |
privately married, having previously deter-
mined, however, that the disguise should
atill be kept up.

The happy couple occupied the same state-
room, On the next outward passage, without
exciting suspicion. The voyage was a long
one ; andon the arrival of the vessel at Mar- |
seilles, the young mate, having been prompt |
in her sailor-duties, as before, received per- |
wission from the captain to go ashore for two |
weeks. At the expiration of this leave, she |

came aboard again; but not until she had |
committed to the care of an honest French
couple @ wee bit of humanity in her own

vessel, the command of which they conferred |
upon our hervine’s husband. He accepted |
the position gratefully, and at once appointed |
his still disguised wife first mate of the ves-

sel. The new ship made a prosperous trip |
around Cape Horn to San Francisco, where a

contract was made for her to go out to the |« An incident took place a few evenings

Sandwich Islands for a cargo and back. She
made the trip, and then, after cruising about |
from one port to another, started once more |
for home. Half the passage was accomplish-
ed, when the captain died, and bis wife took |
command, and brought the vessel safely to |
Boston, whea the owners offered her half-|
ownership, and the captaincy of the ship. |
Wishing to visit her child at Marseilles, she |
was obliged to decline this handsome offer, |
and took passage immediately in a steamer |
for Europe.

Arriving at Marseilles, she visited the spot
where she left her babe ; but, to her horror, |
the house even was gone, and she could get
no intelligence of her missing babe. As a|
last resource, she enlisted the aid of the
lice, Who finally succeeded in discevering |
that, some three years before, the husband |
of the woman to whom she had entrusted the
ehild had died, leaving bis wife without |
means of support. She had relatives vgn |
at Beleastre, in Naples, and thither she had |
gone for help, taking her youthful charge |
with her, using for her travelling ex neee |
the money that had been forwarded, just,
previous to the death of her husband, by the |
motherof the child. To Belcastre, accord-
ingly, the anxious mother took her way, and
on her arrival there, learned that the woman

what become of her none could tell.

Our heroine still refused to be discouraged,
and continued the search perseveringly and |
vainly fur two years. At last she was re-|
paid for her labor of love. One day, while |
passing through a ward in a hospital at Flo-,
Fence, her attention was attracted by the |
woman who lay dying in,
one of the rooms, with a handsome boy weep-_
ing over her. She ap hed and heard her |
own name ateugiel by. the sufferer. In|
another moment she was on her knees beside |
the bed, claeping the sick one’s hands in her |
own, and asking her the question she almost
dteaded to hear answered. The answer was
in the affirmative, and with her last breath
the dying woman restored to the mother the
childsbe been so long looking for. Scarce-
ly was the faithful creature dead when theim- |
patient mother undéd the jacket of the weep- |
ing boy, and discovered about his neck a little
trinket herown hands had placed there years
before. Mother and son immediately pro-
ceeded to Havre, from whence they sailed for
this country, and are now residing in the
eity of Detroit.

WEALTH OF GREAT BRITAIN.

“A writer in the Edinburgh Review estimates
the property of Great Britain and Ireland in 1358:

Personal Property... ... £2,775,000,000

Total..........--£5,975,000,000

Which is, in round numbers, twenty-nine thousand
snilliona of dollars. This i« just about $1,000 to
each inhabitant, |

Ry the last census return the wealth of the |
United Stater was estimated at sixteen thousand |
millions of dollars—about £500 to eavh inhabitaut. |

The tax tur the support of the British Govern. |
ment amounts to a littl more than one per cent. |
of the whole wealth of the kingdom. Thie ix in
addition te city and etber local taxes, the church
tithes, poor rates, &e. The public debt is four
thousand .millions of dollara—about 14 per cent of

And thus a painful sketch is carried out of
the misery and destitution which fell under
the writer's eyes almost within earshot of
the royal residence. Most or all of these)

Mmends of the Government that the Report |
was all in favour of the Tenantry. Now, Sir,
itis true that in the first of the published Re-
port in the ‘Islander’ it is shown by the
census returns that the quantity of produce
raised on some new farms was not suflicient
to support a family and yay the rent; but
what do we see published lately but a report
of a number of farms in a wildnerness state
sold and offered for sale whieh the Spy values,
after allowing so much for clearing and build-
ing, at from $35 to $6 per acre, or from 18s.
to 30s. per acre; and in the last ‘Islander’
the Report gives the value of lands situated
in the most flourishing parts of the Island,
and what certain farms suld fer, some as high
as $11.90 per acre, cash down, without build-
ings—a sum equal to £3 12s. per acre. Now,
Sir, if this report is considered favourable to
the tenantry, | am ata loss to see it; but it
is very wucli like the promises of the present
Government's supporters at the last election,
when they were going to reduce taxation and
get the country out of debt; but instead of
that, they have nearly doubled the taxes and
doubled the debt. So with the Spy’s Report:
instead of being favourable, it is the reverse,
for by the tenor of the whole Report it is
making the lands appear worth 20 years’
purchase in their original state; and hence
the Commissioners’ Report to that effect, or
the demand for an arbitration, which we find
is alla humbug and worse, by the conduct
of the Goyernment in making it a lottery by
their endeavour to crain-dowa the Tenants’
throats their Arbitration Bill of last Session.

where, and concerning whieh ao many painful ru- |
mours were afloat yesterday. We have the “ra-
tification of being able te apnounce that the battle
resuited in one of the most complete victories that
has yet immortalized the Confederate arms. The
ball was opened on Tuesaday evening about wx
o’elock, all of our avaliable force, about sixty
thersand strony, commanded by General Robert |
E, Lee in person, and the enemy about one hen- |
dred and fitty thousand strong, counnanded by
General McClellan in person, bemg engaged.
‘The position of our army was Upon the range of
hills; forming a semi-circle, with the coneave to-
wards the enemy; the latter occupying’ a less
commanding position- opposite, their extreme
right resting upon a height counmanding our &x-
The arrangement of our line was as
tollows—Gen. Jackson on the extreme deft, Gen.
Longstreet in the centre, and Gen. A. P. Hill on
the extreme right.

The fight on Tnesday evening was kept up
until nine o'clock at night, when it subsided
into spasmodic skirmishes along the line. Wed-
nesday morning it was renewed by Gey, Jackson,
and gradually became general. Both armies
maintained their respective positions, fd fought
desperately throughout the entire day, During
this battle Sharpsburg was fired by te enemy's
shells, and at one time the enemy obtained a posi-
tion whieh enabled them to pour a flanking fire
upon a pertion of our left wing, causing it to waver.
At this moment, Gen. Stark, ot Missesippi, who
had comraaud of Gen. Faehron’s divisien, galloped
to the freat of his brigade, and seizing the standard
rallied them forward. No sooner did the gallant
General thus throw himself in the van than tour

his men. Tho effect, instead of discouraging
them, fired them with determination abd revenge,
and they dashed forward, drove the enemy back,
and kept them from the position during the rest
Ofethe day.

Ttbeing evident that the “ Young Napoleon,”
finding he could not force his way through the
invincible ranks of ourarmy in that direction, had
determined upon a flank movement towards Har-

back on the south side of the Potomac, at Shep-
herdstown, Virginia, whence he will, ef course,

be ascertained with accuracy, but as our troops | u

pence aren outmaneuvred and beaten; though

killed at 500, the total rebels killed in the two |
battles would be 400, |
Aecording to the ratio of our own killed and |
wounded, thus would make their loss in wounded
18,742. He

As nearly as can be determined at this time,
the number of prisoners taken by our troops in
the battles will at the lowest estimate amount te
5000. ‘the full returns will ne doubt show a large }
number of these, about 1200, are wounded. ‘This
gives a rebel loss in killed, wounded and prisoners
ot 25,542. :

It will he observed that this does net include
their stragglers, the number of whom is said by
citizens here to be large.

It may be safély coneluded, therefore, that the
rebel army lost at least 30,000 of their best troops.

From the time our treeps first encountered the
enemy in Maryland until he was driven back into
Virginia, we captured 13 guns, 7 caisson’, 9 lim-
bers, 2 field forges, 2 caisson bodies, 39 colors,
and I signal flag. We have not lost a single gun
or a color.

Michaelmas Day, 1862.

To tue Epiror or raz Examiner.

Sir, ~ By an article which appeared in
* Ross's Weekly’ of the Lith ult., it appears
that the people of North River are taking
inte consideration the propriety of organiz-
ing a Rifle eae in that locality. The
young men of North River evidently feei
somewhat annoyed by seeing so many ** red-

jeoats’’ parading about before the eyes of

Several persons have expressed a desire to!
know my opinion of matters since the Award |
is annulled. Opinions to be of any weight |
ought to have some foundation, and this |
leads me to review the proceedings of the)
proprietory Government to take the advan-|
tage of their position to confirm the Proprie-
tors’ claims; and I intend to show, that the
Award was made under restriction—that the |
Commissioners did not expect or desire their |
Award to be adopted : but we find it can be!
made a mischievous instrument in the hands |
of a Proprietary Government, and conse-|
quently it has been quashed.

When Responsible Government was con-
ceded to the colonies, Ministers made a rule
that * the Colonies are ta be governed by the
wishes of the people as expressed by their re-
presentatives ;'’ therefore the proceedings on
the Land question must be tried by that rule,
to enable us to reconcile apparent contradic-
tions, for according to this rule any measure
agreed to by a majority of the House of As-
sembly becomes an expression of the wishes
of the people. even if all the rest of the peo-
ple were opposed to it, unless they petition
against it in due time, for silence is consent.

At the last election the people returned a
bis. wer td Government, and Colonel Gray’s
resolutions were passed and sent home as the
wishes of the people for the royal assent.
The resolutions required the Crown to ap-
point ane or more Arbitrators who were to |
deci/e between proprietors and tenants accord-
ing to eertain provisions propounded in the
resolutions; but the Minister could not ask
for the assent to appoint arbitrators unless
they were allowed to use their own disere-
tion, consequently another resolution, for the

be wisdom in the ‘‘sons’’ of North Kiver to
dispel this petty ambition, and have nothing |
to do with * fuss and feathers.” Such a|
course would not only exhibit diseretion on!
their part, but would conduce to the advancee- |
ment of their own welfare. The expense of |
£90 or £100 to procure military suits, and)
the enormous amount of time wasted, and |
at those shooting sprees are |
sufficient reasons to prevent the ambitious)
sons from adopting such a kill-time movement. |
The facts, that one or two of our Island}
riflemen have brought a silver tea-pot or a|
eugar-bowl fiom te Provinces, and that the |
old packing-boxes, hen-coops, and tar-barrels |
are ever ready to fly into « heap and exult-,
ingly fling their gleesome flames to the sky |
in commemoration of such a victory, are too |
futile to induce any sensible community to)
participate in such yain-glory. It would be
mech better for the young men of North
River to organize a Literary Institution ; and,
instead of squandering £100 for paltry mili-
tary suits, to expend the much lower amount
of £30 to procure a Library, which would
entertain them during their leisure hours,
and impart useful information to their minds.
The people of all communities, in which
Volunteer companies have not yet been
formed. would do well to consider those mat-
ters before they consent to go to a useless
expense. Yours, &e.

RUMORS OF A REBEL RAID INTO PENN.
SYLVANIA.

New York, 30th.—A letter to the Commereial,
dated Washington 28th, states that 27,000 troaps
left that city—destination not stated. .

The Washington Star of the 29th reports a re-
connoissance to Warrenton Junction without
seeing any track of the enemy.

It donbts the rumers that Lee is making serious
movement to recross into Maryland.

__ It says 20,000 troops left Washingtén last night
in one direetion and another body in another di-
rection.

The Star also says it is generally believed here
that Jeff. Davis is about to send 50,000 troops on

fight was most fierce and obstinate, the ves-
sels engaging at close quarters, and the
horizon, the night being dark, was all but
illuminated with the flashing of the guns.
All the crew of the Mary on deck at the time
witnessed the engagement, and Captain Mar-
shall who was in bed at the time, was awoke
by the guns of the combatants; and rushed
on deck to ascertain the cause of the noise.
* After a time Mr. Shipley—who only arrived
at Liverpool on Friday night—states one of
the vessels appeared to be retreating, but at
the same time keeping up a running fire, in
fagt fighting as if her case was most desper-
Ate, the flash of the guns being most vivid and
the roar terrific, making the Mary tremble
in évery timber. There is little probability
but this engagement between those vessels is
in all respects trac, for on Wednesday
morning Mr. Shiply spoke the Tasmania,
Captain Banks, outward bound from Liver-
pool to Quebec, and in answer to the inquiry
if they had witnessed anything of the engage-
ment, replied + Yes, we saw it as ool es

From all we see in the American papers re- |
specting the battle of Antietam the following |
remarks from the New York Scottish Ameri- |
can Journal are perfectly correct.
‘The fighting was extremely hard, con-/
tinuous and bitter on both sides. There was |
no flinching—no poltroonery during the day. |
Firmly the columns advanced against each
other to the work of death, and the long |
lines of blazing musketry, the showers of|
balls and bombshells, the bayonet work, the|
dash and sweep of numberless squadrons of
cavalry, infused nought but fury and battle
enthusiasm with the mighty hosts who thus|
were urging the right of Secession.
The generalship exhibited by both McClel-|
lan and Lee during the day is said, by those |
wo are versed in such matters, to have been
masterly. It was the first scientifically |
fought field-battle we have had since the war |

which the battle was fought, the divisions, |

in all the attempts to get up areligious excitement
j at the expense of the Catholic population. The
| efforts in this direction of the Rev. Alex. Suther-
|land have failed miserably, thong his zeal has
| been stimulated by a large subsidy. His mame-
sake George has not been one whit more suceess-
‘ful. The mischievous Orange Lodges have like-
| wise failed—not one Liberal Protestant has been
| seduced into co-operrtion with them, though most
| perseveringly coaxed to join them; and the Ca-
tholics have remained unmoved by the display of
bigotry which they present. Pope's challenges to
the Catholic Clergy to engage with bim in contro-
versial disputes are laughed te scorn, — he tried
first, under his own name, to arouse the indign’-
tion of the Catholics by grossly insulting them—
representing their wives, daughters, and sisters as
the most degraded of their sex, and their Clergy
as abandoned to licentious lives. ‘These insults
were offered, no doubt, with a view of provoking
a breach of the peace — so that, if such a breach
| occurred, a stronger cry might be raised against
the Catholies, supported by the plea that free dis-
cussion would not be tolerated by them. But Mr.
Pope is held in se much contempt, that with the
exception of one or two letters from the pen
the Rev. A. McDonald, no one troubled his hesd
about his lucubrations. He then tried the same
game under the non de plume of “ A Protestant;”
but the cloven foot was toc easily seen th
them, and they were paszed over ingilence, New,
