under the censure of the Duke; and his criticiam was dirveted entirely to the phraseology, and not to the spirit of the measure. No ene seemed to be more surprised and hurt at the severity of this eritielem than the members of eur present “ God- feariuw” Protestant Geverament. The President of the Executive Council, in his place in the Le- gislature, expressed himself with unusual warmth against the tene and spirit of the despatch, and rather in commendation of the Bill whieh it con- cenned. Alluding to this now celebrated docu- meut, the Hon. Mr. Palmer said that the writer ef it certainly was not in a very happy temper of mind when he penned that despatch.” Mr. Palmer added :—* I have examined the Act since the Despatch came out, and I cannot see that | there was any necessity for such a severe criti- cism; for, during my legislative experience, / herer saw such a captions despatch."—(See De- bates of the Legislative Council, March 4, 1862.)

In presenting te the notice of his readers the despates thus sneeringly and insultingly described by the leader of the Government as “a eaptious” ene, the editor of the ‘ Protestant’ makes the fol- lowing remarks :~

“We would have j i y i was laid before the aoe te evens fer the erowded state of our columns at that time It was afterwards overlooked, and now we are ouly reminded of our intention by learning that the Editor of the ‘ Examiner’ has refused to pub-

Vieh it in his paper, The despatch is valuable in Three wave: first as showing the carelessness of

aD from England, with some stamp of authority at the hands of the Duke of Newcastle. The Colonial

Secretary says :— on te ard made its appearance last winter, Spy’s Report was attached. It was at onee said that the Proprietary Government were afraid of the Spy's Report, and had suppressed it. The Appendir, which was not printed in England, Was promptly applied for by the Government, and we understand, it was received here a few days ago.

The last sentence in Italies, which are ours, will shew what impression Mr. Pope intended to make on the minds of his readers,

Now, if the Appendix is of any value to the peo- ple of this Island, why is it not printed in proper form, and at full length, by order of the Govern- iment, for general information, instead of being trittered and garbled by the editor of the ‘ Islander’ to suit his private ends? The fact is, it is as Worthless to the people of this Colony as an old Almanac—especially since we all know that the Award of the Commissioners, te which it is an Appendix, will never take effect. Ifthe ‘Islander could only make credulous fools believe that the Spy's Report has been sent out by the Imperial Government, the delusion about the Award might be kept alive until after the election; but we re- peat that the thing came from New Brunswick— was copied there at the expense of this country, and cannot kave the smallest effect in settling the Land Question.

PIRATES ON A STEAMER.

A desperate attempt was made on. by a gang of Chinese pirates, to take sion of the Iron Prince, a new |

horse power, with a crew of fifteen men. She bad thirty-one passengers on board, and a freight of two boxes of specie and sixty cases opium — the last being worth $40,000. She left Hongkong for Macao—-a distance of about forty miles, at eleven a. m. Of the passen- gers, twenty-six were Chinamen.

The captain’s suspicions were aroused by observing that some of the Chinese passengers had been oa her previous voyage from Mx and he removed a number of the si) muskets, &¢., to a place where they could | readily reached by himself and thos¢ wiv were trustworthy. Of the crew eight were Chinamen, and the rest Malays, Manillamen, &c. The captain (Harris) was an English- man.

About 2 o'clock, when the captain was at lunch, two Chinese junks crowded with people, appeared, and soon after a third. Suddenly a yell was given, stink-pots were thrown into the captain’s cabin and engine-house, a grand | concerted attack commenerd by the Chinese passengers and the pirates in the junks. The captain called the crew and passeagers jaft. In less than a minute the engineer (a | Moorman) was shot through the right arm, | the mate (a Portuguese) stabbed near the leabin door and disabled, and one of the Manillamen crew killed and thrown overboard

The cir- cumstanes that the Duke of Neweastle did not consider Mr. Wightman’s Report worthy of being priuted asan Appendix to the Commissioners’ Report, shewed what very little importance he attached to it.
