From the paucity of information in our possession, 5! re can only make a brief notice of our late Admiral’s

ublic career. [Io was the fourth son of Admiral Sir Henry

W IIlarvey, K. B., and entered the Navy 3n the 24th May, 1787. I Mlc was mate in Lord Ilowe’s action in 1794, and Lieuten- oiiilﬂ‘lnt in Lord Bi‘idport’s in the following year. He was liscd to the rank of Captain on the 27th March, 1797, and [ensivl'ommanded the Pelican at the reduction of Trinidad, and in lblie Prince of Wales in the attack on Porto Rico, in the same ixcd Fear. He also commanded the Lapwing at the capture of MingSurinam in l799—the Um'te, at the capture ofthe Danish , eon-ind Swedish Islands in 1801, and the Thunderer at the no“ liassage of the Dardanelles in 1807. He was promoted to ,Whe rank of a Rear Admiral on the, 19th July, 1821, and on ,d (.0th January, 1837, he wes made Vice Admiral of the White. lie succeeded the late Vice Admiral Sir Charles Pa-

” i get in the'command of the North American and West Indian m'itations, in March, 1839. Sir Thomas has left issue——-two ons and four daughters. The elder of his sons is in cOm-' e“Jazmd of the Ram, brig of war, on this station—the younger

SCANDALOUS.——ln order to show our readers what scan- ' alous reports originate among evil disposed persons, and ‘ enei'ally believed by the credulous to be true, concerning nine ill-titted President, we give the following as an example, :0 en from the Poijtland “Advertiser,” which is going the Mounds of the American papers.

hnews was ever received at St. John—St, John papa;

precinct, as required. Such resources,ifproperly applied, one would imagine, were mOI’e than sufﬁcient to put the streets, shores, and bridges in said precinct in the most ample repair; in place of which, the streets have been so cut up and otherwise injured, that in many places such has rendered them almost impassable,sparticularly vehicles, even if moderately laden ; and the bridges, in place of being repaired, as usual, have been wholly removed by the Over- 3 er; thereby the want of their convenience is much felt at present, and before the Fall sets in, the drains intersecting Queen’s-street, will become a source of the greatest incon— venience to the public. '

\Vith the present Commissioner of this District, I presume, no fault can be found, as lunderstand that the Overseer in question has been appointed by his predecessor in ofﬁce; but the public have a right to expect that such an investiga- tion will be instituted in the matter in question as will tend to redress the evils complained of, by making good the damage done to the highways, either by an individual com- pensation, or by having recourse to the Colonial resources for that purpose.

To the Electors of the Second District of Prince County. ELECTORS ; -

WITHOUT my asking a single suffrage, you made me a Member of the House of Assembly. At the bust- ings I acknowledged myself honoured by such an election, and I trustI have not violated what procured it—your con— ﬁdence that 1 would be steadfast to your interests and in— structions. To many whom, from time to time, 1 have since met, it has been my endeavour to give as clear 'an account of our procedure, and of the helps and hindrances to the popular cause, as time permitted. As, however, 1 have had no opportunity of seeing the greater part, and as, by means oftlie Press, I can at once address all, it seemed proper to adopt that medium of communication; and it is now especi- ally necessary, as a Petition has been printed and put in circulation, for signatures, containing, I admit, some truths, but also much misrepresentation, and some downright false- liOod. “‘Vell,” says one, “ this is all very fairly expressed, and we know that Petition to be a trap, but what have you done 3 Theland is not yet free, nor have these proprietary claimants b82711 brought even to reduce their extortions; they are at this time seeking from £5 to £7, sterling, of rent, per 100 acres, where they have not right to one shilling.” All true, my friends—to your loss and sorrow, and also to mine ; but if my speaking and writing within the bounds of this Island could have procured you relief by this time, be assured I have exerted myself, and would have done more, if the majority of the House Would have sanctioned such procedure. “Admitted,” says apotlier ; “we believe you have been sufficiently zealous; but tell us what mainly in- terests us—how stands the matter at this present time?” Atthis present/time we have the promise of the Colonial Minister, made last Summer in the House of Commons, that- he will take measures for the relief of the grievance as to the tenure ofnlaud; we have his despatch to the Lieutenant Governor, stating that he has written the Proprietary Asso- ciation, to state on what terms they will sell their lands to the Government; we have the acknowledgment of the Le- gislative Council of this Island, in their Petition to the Queen, that if the Government would purchase the lands of the Proprietors, on such terms as that these could be sold out for reasonable prices to settlers, it would be con- ferring on this Colony the greatest boon it could receive; we have the published opinion of the late Earl of Durham, that though 'in some other Colonies, Eschcat might be barred by long continued, silent indulgence on the part of Govern- ment, yet, in regard to the Grants of this Island, there was nothing that. could he pleaded, either at law or in equity, to prevent the Government from Escheating wherever the conditions had not been complied with; and we have the fact, that though the Court of Escheat appears to have been in abeyance in Nova Scotia for' many years, it is, within eighteen months from last April, to be put in. full force.‘ In addition to these, we have the advance of liberal mea- sures in the mother country, and the far more rapid. advance of knowledge and of liberal opinions there, and in all the Colonies, within the last ten years. “But,” I am asked by a third, “how long ought we to persevere ?” That is indeed a question which every one must answer, from communng with himself. I would ask him, “How much worse are you, “ owing to your having striven to do away with the extortion, “and injustice, and almost criminal irregularity, practiSed “towards the inhabitants? How much better willany of “ you be, if; at the next election, a majority of Proprietary ‘f Claimants, Agents, or persons inclined or pledged to sup- “port their forfeited claims, should be returned?” One may answer, “ Yes, I will be somewhat advantaged by such an event; for if 1 give my vote for such, perhaps he may deduct 30s. or 40s. from the arrears of rent, which he claims —perhaps £5; and certainly be will not distrain' on me immediately after election.” But, think you that he means to throw away this abatement, or not to have interest for delaying his exaction? This you will be able to answer When you consider every one the character of the man With whom he has to deal, and the general coinduct of that party for the last twenty or thirty years—aye, ever since the Island had one of the tribe in its bounds. And they would not increase expenditure—they would not create new ofﬁces, and, of course, would not increase taxation! Go over the party, and consider their modes of livelihood—their con- nections—their principles. Look how the Legislative Coun- cil voted in respect to the addition demanded to His Ex- cellcncy’s allowance. “Aye,” says another, “all very good; “ but has this House done anythingit oug‘t? Has it not “done some things which it should not have agreed to, even “if recommended from another quarter. ?” In my next, I’ll endeavour to answer these last queries. “ I’ll give him something else to do, says —; l’ll paint him as black as ink canmake him.” A My friends, many of you know how I have behaved for several years in the District, and tbére- fore it is unnecessary that I should refute every anonymous accusation, dictated by misunderstanding, or, perhaps, by what is worse-by malice. If any man of decent character will put his name to any weighty charge against me, as your Representative, it’ will then be worth consideration. Mean- time, - I remain, . Your obedient servant, Auxxnnsn Ra.
