we were well aware would be the case.

w Charlottetown the better he

.of this noble

' enema and inveterate habits, the weak the unfommte, who struggle with this infatuat- ing ion. We cannot but applaud the zeal. from which this proposition has sprung; and express ub- ncly, in strong terms, our approbation of every e _ort, that our venel'able .brethren may make in various con ’ons committed to their charge—Whether on t plan or on such a plan as in their prudence

be found suitable to the local circumstances, ad may finally lead to thc greatremlt desired by git—the total extirpation of the vice of intemperance.

a “We leave to their prudent and enlightened zeal

the arrangement of all ,the details 0 the various branch associations, to be formed throughout the Diocdse; and only renew the exhortations of the council to use every effort to remove from the Christian name the ignominy which the frailty of many may cost upon it. Let them be instant in season and out of season; let them reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine; let them teach all to live soberly, justly, and piously in this world, looking for the blessed hope and coming of the glory of Our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ. Let them warn all not to deceive themselve: God Is not mocked: drunkards shall not inherit the king’- dom of God. .

“ To such among our flock as may be unhappily slaves to the vice of intemperance, we renew our most pressing entreaties to break the iniquitous bonds by which Satan holds them fast according to his will, and to turn to God, humble and penitent— The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ has visibly tri- umphed in the conversion and permanent reform of many habitual drunkards—since the humble priest, to whom we before made reference, engaged in the holy warfare against this vice. >Of far more than a million who have pledged themselves to total ab-

stinence under h'm direction, scarcely any have

proved delinquents. CHEAP ENOUGH, ur Goon—In Meadville, Craw-

ford county, in this State, eggs are now sold for form

cents a dozen, butter for tbur and five cents per pound, and wheat at 75 cents per bushel.—These

prices are only one half nominally what were obtain-

ed last year.~—Phila. Ledger.

Tun SIAMESE TwrNS.—Chang and Eng, the Sia- mese twins, have ceased to exhibit themselves, and have retired to live on a fine farm’at Trappe Hill, in North Carolina. They are represented as enjoying

themselves very much, and as being highly con- .tented.

JAMAICA.—-We have been favored‘with a perusal

. of the Kingston, Jamaica, Royal Gazette, of June

13, containing the examinations before the Magis-

‘trates ' of Falmouth, relative to the riot which took- placc there in May, and concerning which such vo-

lumes of bitter and violent aspeisions have been

» . ropagated against the Rev. Mr. Ward, the Baptist

issionary. The investigations are in many res- pects marked with partiality and prejudice, but afier

several days occupied in examining numerous wit-

nesses, the whole of the charges against Mr. Ward appeared to have turned out entirely groundless, as The only real charge against him was an attempt to bail seve-

ral ignorant negroes, lately arrived from Africa, who

were being ill used by the police force, under some of the arbitrary regulations of the Island. The Is- land papers, however, disappointed in fixing their

‘ malignant stigmas upon the Missionaries, solace

themselves with abundant abuse and insinuation. We cannot doubt but as in every other case in Jam- aica, that the violent hatred which has in this in- stance broken out in opposition to those who are la- bouring for the moral renovation of the Island, will be overruled for good—Christian Messenger.

[The report of the conflict with the military, and the loss of life onrthe occasion, turns out to be a fa- brication of the American papers]

Prc'rou, Aug. 12.

EARLY Haavnsr.——Mr. Louis Joseph, Cariboo, cut down a fine field of bald barley on Thursday last. On Saturday, Mr. James Fraser, West River, had outs in sheaf, and on Monday, Mr. James Dawson commenced cutting wheat. This is the commence- ment of, apparently, the most abundant harvest gathered here for many years past.

PI.EASURE.—¥The Steamer “ Pocahontas,” under the direction of its new proprietors, had an excursion to St. Peters, and another to Georgetown during the

' past week—Pinion Mechanic 3" Farmer, flog. 12.

V The Steamer has not yet arrived fi‘om Pictou with the Mails. She ought 'to have been here yesterday morning; but the contract, it seems, is so loosely

. worded, that no redress can be obtained for such a

glaring infraction of the terms.

The Lieutenant Governor, accompanied by the

~ Hon. Mr. Haviland, Captain Swabey, and the two

Masters Fitz Roy, left town on Monday, the 3d mm, upon an excursion to the westward, from

, whence they returned on Friday evening. During ’ his absence his Excellency inspected the Western

Road to the extent of about twenty miles beyond Mascouche, the site of the projected road from Lot 13m Lot 11, and Princetown Wharf. His Excel- lency also visited Princetown Royalty, the lndlan

miver settlement, and St. Eleanor’s, making Smith’s

his head quarters, and returned to town through the beautiful and flourishing settlements of Bedeque, Tryon, Crapaud and Sable. We understand his Excellency’s report of the state of the crops, and the general aspect of the country, is most cheering; and as regards the roads, the further distance from found them—Gan

His Excellency Sir C. A. Fitz R , Lady Mary, Miss Fiz Roy, and the two Masters Fitz y, accompanied by a numerous suite, left town yesterday, for Pictou, gt route for Halifax, at which place, we understand, it, is their intention to remain for some time, as guests of Sir Colin Campbell.

The Right~.Honorahle the Countess of Westmor— land. embarked in the same boat. The departure lady was a subject of deep regret, par- ticularily as We have reason to believe that there, is little prospect of her return. The great urbanity of her manners, and the simple benevolence of. Igor character have lethal) impression upon our mm s, never to be eflhced. The period of her Ladyslnp’s residence in this Island will be ever grate _ully re- membered b the or, to Whom she was a kind and benevolent ne actress; and she has left enduring marks of the kindness of her disposition, by bestow- ing Ema“ Pensmnfl upon several deserving objects of charity.

On passing the Ringdove, gun ‘ brig, the ards of that vesse were manned, and a salute of can

Haviland and Mr. Peake, the Hon. Capt. Stewart, of H. M. B. Rt' dove, Capt. Swabey, R. A.,.Capt. Cum- berland, 96th gt, Mr. Job,-of Newfoundland, Mrs. Mackieson, Miss F. Haviland, 8w. &c. .

On Wednesday last, the Steamer Albion arrived from Pictou, with a large party (about sixty in num- ber) of ladies and gentlemen belonging to that place, on' a pleasure excursion. They remained here about twenty-four hours.

We have been gratified by a visit of the Mirami— chi Brass Band, which arrivedin the Cape Breton, Steamer, on Thursday,‘ and has, for the last two evenings, favoured us with several select pieces of music, executed in aster suchaswe have been little accustomed to‘ in Charlottetown. The per- formances, last evening, in the Court House, were warmly applauded, and evinced-a high degree of perfection In the performers, who are all gentlemen amateurs. Their stay here half reconciles us to the detention of the Cape Breton.

To THE Enrroa or was Coroner. HERALD. SIR; As it is somewhat unusual for a Steamboat to pay avisit to this Port, I feel pleasure in commu- nicating that yesterday the Pocahontas was in here from Proton, with her new owners and a numerou and select party of their friends. The Steamer pro- ceeded to the heads of the Montague and Brudenell Rivers, and by the particular kindness and request of the owners, many of the inhabitants of the town had an opportunity of viewing the country from the deck of a Steamboat. ‘ It so happened that their coming was not known, or I feel certain they would have received a more general reception than their limited stay permitted.

he left us in the afternoon, with the hearty cheers of the inhabitants of the town, and many fervent wishes that her trip may lead to a more permanent establishment of Steam communication between the ports of Pictou and Georgetown.

momms - VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES.

‘ HESE Medicines are indebted for their

name to their manifest and Sensible action in puri- fying the springs and channels oflifie,_and enduing them with renewed tone and vi or. In many hundred ,cgr- tified cases which have been made public, and In almost eyery species of disease to which the, human frame is liable, the happy efi'ects of Mofi'at’s Life Pills and Phenix Bitters have been gratefully and publicly acknowledged by all persons benefited, and who were pregiously unacquamtcd with the beautifully philosophical princi- ples upon which they are compounded, and upon which the consequently act.

The Life Medicines recommend themselves in disease of every fbrm and (lescription._ The first operation in to loosen from the coats of the stomach and bowels the various impurities and cruditias constantly settling around them; and to remove the hardened faeces which collect in the convolutions of the‘small intestines. Other medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave such collected masses behind as to produce habitual costive- ness, with all its train of evils, or sudden diarrhoea, with its imminent dangers. This fact is well known to all regular anatomists, who examine the human bowels after death: and hence the prejudice of these well in- formed men against quack medicines—or medicines prev pared and heralded to the public by'ignoraut persons. The second effect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse the kidne s and the bladder, and by this means, the liver and tie lungs, the healthful action ofwhich entirely depends upon the regularity ofthe urinary organs. The blood, which takes its red colour from the agency of the liver and the lungs before it passes into the heart, being thus purified by them, and hourisbed by food coming from a clean stomach, courses freely through the/veins, renews every part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the banner of health In the blooming cheek.
