Davies, praying for a sufficient grant of money te improve the ge- neral condition of the Mie Mae tribe on this Is land, as the descendents of the genuine aborigines. Col. Gray opposed the grant en the broad ground that the tribe designated the Mie Maes of this Is- land are not the descendants of the aborigines; and have, therefore, no claim on the Legislature, except as paupers. He contended that if they were of the true Indian race, they would have strong claims upon the Legislature of this Island, and on the British Goverament. The hon.

Mr. Coles having asked the Govern- ment the previous day whether there would be a dissolution during the ensuing summer, as seems to be generally expected, Col. Gray gave a most evasive answer to the question on the evening of Thursday. He said, “the Government will give due notice whenever it is their intention to dis- solve the House; and in regard te this being the last session, it may or may not.” The Colonel might as well have said to the Leader of the Op- position: “Mind your own business—we will dis- sulve when we please; or, you will know when there will be a new election as soonas you see the Governor's proclamation dissolvify the House.” The Government are either determined to take | ithe country by surprise; er, perhaps, like the | caricature of Lord Palinerston in Punch, they are whistling for a good political blast that will enable them to steer their frail and rotten barque through the shoals and quicksands that are before them. | For our own part, we do not care whether there He als» stated that the whole ease | will be another session or not—there must be 42 | in the ice were drifting to the southward. is contained in a nat shell; perhaps it is; but if the | If the Go- | vermment hold on for a fifth session—which was lelection in less than tiwelre mouths. | never done by any Government since the passage of the Quadrennial Aet—it will be a.dlear acknow- jdgment that they are afraid and ashamed to face | the constituencies; and it will be a certain fore- | | rannes of their signal overthrow. | Ou Friday the House was oceupiéd on several | matters of routin-—viz: the report ef the Special | ' Committee on new Post Offices; and the report of Mareia. | of the Committee ou the several small grauts for | ' i ' the relief of indigent persons ; together with other | Vir € - ' hal - : . one . me - Oor readers, whose eyes have beow wearied by y:n4}) routine business.

The inevitable conclusion is, therefore that the Duke of Newcastle regards the Spy’s Report as unreliable, worthless, and as calculated to irritate the people of this Island.

Horamer Tate. —A Morwer curs HER Cup's THroat !-—It ia aur painful duty to-day tw record one of the most horrible events which | has ever occurred near our city. It is that of murder, committed by a woman on a child, byja mother of her own infant sou. The unfortunate woman was the wife of Mr. James Ford, a la- bourer, who has lived for some time near Free!ton, inthe township of Kast Flamboro’. Mrs. Ford has been insane for some time, and for about a year past has bee under medical care. Although her insanity eecemed incurable, yet she was not looked upoa as very dangerous until lately. For some time past her husband has watehed ber closely, aud kept her as coustantly as he could un- der his eye. On Tuesday night last, after the family had retired to bed, she gut up once or twice and walked about the house muttering to herself. Her husband, when he heard her, arese and pre vuiled on her to return to bed. Mr. Ford, as we understand it, was again awakeped abeut three o'clock in the morning by a gurgling woise. Fear- ing that something had happened, he called out to his eldest daughter to light acandle. When the light was preevred, he took it and went to the bed where sume of the children were sleeping, and there he saw one of them, a boy between three and four years of age, with his threat eut from ear to ear. The cut :aust bave been inflicted with savage furee, fur the head of the little one was al- most entirely sewered from its body. There could have been but little pain as death must have im- mediately followed the cut. The child, when he saw it, was still lying aw if asleep, its eyes closed and ite severed head resting quietly on the palm of ite hand. There was nothing but the rnde gash and the rapidly fuwing life bivud to tell that death was there. Meanwhile, the imaane mother stood by, with the instrumeut of destruction, a smal) table knife, dripping with blood in her hand. She made movements as if it wae her intention to perpetrate the same crime on the other childern, but was kept off. The eldest daughter, who had been sent, as soon as her father had seen what had been done, to call assistance, had te ran barefoot and almest naked through all the bitter storm of yes- trday moruing, for some distance before she rear & neighbour's house. Several persons be er py her, and aided the distracted hus- a . lather in taking charge of the wife. She at the tine, aud sinee, has been perfectly uncon- my & of the dreadiul crime whieh nothing but throweiment of reason could have caused her bo commit. Sie has be beought into Hamilton and placed in the gaol for safe keepin An ie se was held on the case, when the J ur ne raed as their verdict, “That the d y i Geerge Ford, came to hin death wounds i, ficted by his insane mother.” Mr. ford has four other children, who, if be bad net awakened when he did, would probably have met the fate of their unfortunate brother —Hamiltoa Times, Su Berne ! F vr emome iy Nova Scorm.— informed by a gentleman recently caieieed ‘on the westward, that ship building is progressing with great rapidity in that direction. At Shel-| burne there are 16 vessels now building ; Yar-| mouth, 12; Tusset, 5; Argyle, 3; Liverpool 2: rington, 2; amd several at St. Mary's Bay — Walifar Paper, = with honor and advantage to the country, did so to the satisfaction and approval of themselves. It is yet too soon to take a review of the busi- | ness of the session. That must be reserved until | we see what measures shall be entitled to take their place on the Statute Book, and until, by |ealm reflection, uubiassed by exciting scenes of debate, we shall be enabled to reconsider all the proceedipgs as matters of history rather than as passing events. We think we may, however, hazard the opinion that there has been less work done than in any of the three previous sessions, and that such as it is, it will effeet no great per- manent improvement in the country. We have room for only a very brief notice of some of the proceedings of the past week, On Monday the House was engaged, for the most part of the day, on the report of the Special Committee regarding Teachers’ petitions. Those petitions pray for compensation to Teachers, whe, through incompetency and other causes, have been unable to obtain a licence to teach, and have been employed in districts wherein it is difficult or im- possible to procure the services of licensed teach- ers. The allowances recommended by the Special Committee were ig pearly all eases granted; but the practice of employing ualieensed teachers was generally condemned, and it is one which is cer- tainly open to many grave objections —A Bill, having for its object the suppression of houses of ill fame in Charlottetown, was introduced to-day by the Hon. Mr. Hensley, and was read a first time. We believe the measure emanated from the City Goverument.—A Bill to make certain alterations in the Small Debt Act, in accordance with several resolutions passed in the House, and lately published in this paper, was intruduced by Hon. Mr. Pope, and read a first time. On Tuesday forenoon, the House was engaged in passing through Committee some of the Road Seales, and is pessiug through Committee alsg the Small Debt Amendment Bill—In the afternoon, the House was engaged in Committee of Supply, when several grants were agreed to, one of which is £60, proposed by Hon. Mr. Pope, for the purchase of a prize cup to be competed for by the Volunteers of this Island, Nova Scotia and New Branawick. This, added to the £400 pre- viously voted this session for the Volunteer Force, makes a very considerable sum out of our small revepue for an object of more than doubtful utility. A Wm, jutroduced by the Government, propos- ing new regulations in the postal system of this Island, oeempied considerable time of the House on Wednesday. The principal object of the Bill ; i which is three days later than our Mail papers | never will be. Vessels that were out at that | RONALD WALKER LATURE.—The New Jersey Assembly ou Thurs- too liberal, and was lost on division. The subjeet is one of much importance, and we shall take an early opportunity of expressing our views upon it at some length. Col. Gray, on Saturday evening, introduced a Bill to regulate the mode of conducting the local arbitrations under the Land Commissioners’ Award, which has been so strongly condemned by the Duke of Neweastle. It was read a first time, and is under the consideration of a Com- mittee of the whole House to-day (Monday.) Of course the Bill will never receive the Royal assent, which any one must know from tne tener of the Duke's despatch. But if it did. it would be worthless to the tenantry; and is so framed as to place the whole arbitration power in the hands of treeholders. In fact, the measure could never be worked, as we shall be prepared to show when we have more space at our disposal, ~——_—~+_e—____—- DESPATCHES—EXPENSES OF THE COM- MISSION—THE SPY'S REPORT. Tue following Despatches were laid before the Legislature a few days ago. The first has refer- enee to the cost of the great Land Commission; and we can only infer from it that the Imperial Commissioner, Mr. Gray, represented to the Duke of Neweastle that the Goverument of this Island had failed or neglected to provide for the payment of its proportion of the expenses ineurred by the Commission. It is very clear that the Colonial Minister was pot apprised of the fact that Mr. Howe received his allowance of £200 sterling while here last summer, otherwise his Grace would not have made the peremptory “ reqnest” to have that amount paid inte the Treasury chest. It was the duty of the Island Government to haveinform- ed the Colonial Office that the £200 were paid; and they fully deserve the quiet rebuke given them by the Duke of Neweastle for having ueglected their duty. The second Despatch is a very significant docu- ment. It plainly informs us, in a few words, that the Spy’s Report must not be exhibited in this Colony. The Duke is not ignorant of the disgust and indignation aroused here when it became known how Mr. Whitman had condueted bis mijs- sion; and the Colonial Minister very probably thinks that further excitement would attend the publication of the Report in this Island, The question as to the cost of printing, or the delay that might arise in multiplying copies of the Spy’s Report, would not be allowed to stand in the way of sending it out here, if it were deemed service- able to the interests of the country. The British furnish, but the Telegram does not state what pre- cise point the intelligence comes from. Our con- fidence in all telegrams from the seat of war has been so much shaken, that for the present we can- not attach much importance to this news. By Telegraph to the Operator at Cape Tormentine.

Generals Buell and Wallace reinforced by General Graut, fight renewed on Monday with great vigor, continuing till late in afternoon, when General Grant made grand charge, routing the enemy and capturing large ameunt of artillery, and driving them back to camp at Corinth. Federal loss estimated nearly 20,000, Confederate loss over 30,000. Con- federate commander, General Johnston reported killed and Beauregard wounded. Many l'ederal officers killed.
