Tux best possible answer that could have_been given to t c’ misre resentations—the iiiildest term we can use—o Mr. Whelan in the Emmi‘- rier, re cting the facts and motives which led to the restoration of the names of those gentlemen, to the commission ,who. in Nov.last, from a prin- ciple ofdu ,conceived themselves opmpellcd to tender their resi nations as Justices of the Peace, to the L. ov., is the_ publication of the

)- whole correspondence relative to the subject.

From this it is evident that these gentlemen have been actuated by the some sense of duty in eccedin to the wishes of a number of their

(‘ fellow subjects,“ dictated their resignations:

and the Licut. Governor has, it appears, with great delioacy,left their own option, the course they might think proper to adopt.- Tbey have chosen wisely, and instead of incur- ring an isgrace from the mode of conduct they have pursued, they have, on the contrary, acquired additional respect, and enhanced esteem with all who know them, and will, we trust, long continue to exercise the duties of their important stations, with the some discre- tion, firmness, and judgment which they have hitherto displayed.

Since writing the above. we have seen Mr. Wbelan’s remarks in the Eromirier. on the cor- res ndence above alluded to, and all we have to (gene is, that we think it would have been better taste in Mr. Whelan to have kept silent on the subject. People have long since made up their minds u n the matter, and all that can be ublisbe , will do nothing towards altering e determination already formed.

It is with feelings of no ordinary satisfac- tion that we announce the sppointmentof John

‘N Hcnsel , . A.B. as Professor of Mathematics d at Phil

an osophy, in King's College, Windsor. Mr. Hensley, though note natural born, isen ado ted son of Prince Edward Island,

and whet is o the most impormnce, has been

educated here, so that the Island has a right

to claim the honor which has accrued to

her from the elevation of one of her children

in the hi her ranks of Literature. While we

congret are Mr. Hensley, his relatives, pre- ceptors, and friends u ii his success, we trust that his example willo prove an incentive to

others, to work their way through the arduous,

and at times, it must be confessed, toilsome

paths of learning, and still to persevere,though

they feel pain by reason of the ru dness of the road, and severi of the ascent, for, let them be assured that t ey will in the end, be

well repaid for all they may have suflei-ed, or

be com to endure while in the pursuit.

We trust likewise, that it will not be without its etfeot upon our Legiiaslsture ; for, though_ we

have, and ever will , advocates of tIl0.dlEI.l- sion of sound knowledge, by every practicable means, through the mass of the community, and would grudge nothing of _a cuniary nature, to have an object so desirab e carried out on the broadest scalc,_we cannot shut our cyes—nor have we an wish to do so-—to the necessit there exists in every well regulated state, 0 the means of efordin to those who ma desire it, a complete e ucatio_ii in the big or branches of Literature and Science. If .we are able to vern ourselves, we ought also to be able to ucate ourselves, so as to render us more capable of Self Government. In fact, the ‘ institution of adequate Seminaries of learnin , ought naturally to have preceded that of Se f Government; as it is, however, we trust that the time is not for distant, when the Central Academy will be devoted to the purpose of im- partin a higher de es of know edge than it is poseib c it can aflor under its sent system of government. Not that the stitution, im- perfect as it is, has not been of signal service to the youth of the Island, and e t blessing to the community in general. imess the number of School Masters that have been trained under its ans ices, to the t credit of the Masters. till, it must bacon- fcsscd, that it is an thing but Ilatscring to the Island, that it shou d form the only exception emi the surrounding Colonies and a ' cent States, of a Country worthy of having a sepa- rate Government, that has not a ollcge at which her sons may not be qualified to compete

We trust that the cause of earning will find a tron and advocate in our pgesent Licnt. Governor.

The following passage is very graphically written :— _ _

One of, perhaps, the most deeply interesting departments of our grenl. British Mussum—the wonder of the world—'is that noble gallery. consisting of a suite of rooms, opening in line, the one beyond the other, which forms its rich store-house of organic retnsine. You must, of course, remember the order in which the or iinisins of that gallery are ranged. The visitor is ret ushe into a spacious room devoted to fossil plnnts, chiefly oflhe Coal Measures. And if these organisms are in any degree lees iiiipos- ingiii their aspect than those of the apartments Wlllcll follow in the series, it is only because that, from the exceeding greatness of the Coal-Measure plants, they can be exhibited in but hits and frag- ments. Wilhin less than an hour's walk of the Scottish cspitalthere are single trees of this ancient period deepl embedded in the sandstone strnts,l which. though existing as mere mutilated portions of l their former selves, would yet fail to find llC('.0IllIIIO- ' dalion in that great apartment. One of these I'uss_il I

known as the Grtinton quarry, is ii mere fragment, for it wants both root and top_ pod yet what remains is sixty-one feet in length, by six feet in dinincter; ! and beside it lherelies ii sinnllcr uraucarian, nlsoi mutilated, for it wants top and branches, und it; measures seventy feet in length, by four feet in j diameter. Issw lately, in a quarry of the Coull Measures, about two miles from my dwelling-house, ! near Edinburgb,Ibe stem of a plant ullied to tho; club-niossss of our moors, considerably thicker than the body ofn man. and which, reckon- ing on the ordinary proportions oflhe plant, iiiusi have been at least seventy feet in height. And 0 a kiml of aquatic reed, that more resembles the dimi- nutive msre’s tail of our marshes tliitn riught else that now lives, remains have been found in abundance in the same coal-field, more than ti foot in diuinclcr, by thirty feet in length. Imposing, then, as arc the vegetable remains of this portion of the national

r l

museum, they would be greatly more imposing still, did they more adequately re resent the gigantic flora of the remote age to which I ey belong.

Passing onwards in the gallery, from the great | plants of the Pslirozoic division to the animals of the i Secondary one, the attention is at once arrested by the inonsirous forms on the wall. Shapes ilint riiore than rival in strangeness the great dragons, and grif- fins, and "luithly worms,” ofinedin-vnl legend, or, according to Milton, the “ gorgons, liydras, and old- merns dire,” of classical fublo, frown on the passing l visitor; and though wrapped up in their dead and stony slee ofsgss, seem not only ilie most strange, L but also 1 s most terrible things on which his eye; ever rested. Enormous jaws, bristling with pointed 1 teeth, gape horrid in the stone, under staring e 1 socltetsa full foot in diameter. Necks that hslfequal , in length the entire body of the boa-constrictor. stretch ‘ out from bodies mounted on line like those ofa fish, and furnished with little somewhat resembling those of the mammals. Here we see a winged dr on that | armed with sharp teeth and strong claws, ind cu-l reared through the air on Ieathern wings like those of‘ a but; there an enormous crocodiliiin-whale, lhat,, mounted on many-jointed paddles, had traversed in quest of prey, the green depths oflhe sea; yonder an herbivorous lizard, with a horn like that of II rhino- ccros projecting from its snout, and that, when it browsed amid the dunk meadows of the Wsnlden, must have stood about twelve feet high. All is enor- mous, monstrous, vast, amid the creeping and flying things, and the great sea-monsters of this division of the gallery. ‘

our-s giant skeleton. We see beside him the great bones of the niegstheriurn,—thigh bones eleven inches in diameter, and claw-armed toes riiore than two feet in length. There, too, ranged species be- yond species, are the extinct elephants; and there the pondcrous skull of the dinothsrinrn, with the bent tucks in its lower jaw, that give to it the appearance of a great picksxe, and that must have dug deeply of old amid the lilisceous roots and bulbs of the Tertiary lakes and rivers. There, also, are the msuive heads and spreading horn-cores of the Bat primigeriius, and the large house and broad, plank-like horns of the great Irish elk. And there, too, in the same apartment, but leaning against its further wull—lust, as most recent, of all the objects of wonder in that great gollery—is the fsinous human skeleton of Gun- daloupe, standing out in bold relief front its slab of grey limestone. It occurs in the series, just as the series closes, a little beyond the mastodon, and the mammolhs; and in its strange character, as a fossil- msn, attracts the attention scarce less powerfully than the great Palsroxoic plants, the great Secondary re tiles. or the sat Tertiary mammals.

last passed i rough this woundrous gallery at the time when the attraction of the Great Exhibition bed filled London with curious visitors from all parts c the empire; and a group of intelligent mechanics, fresh from some manufacturing town of the Midland Counties, were ssunisring on through its chambers, immedistel before me. They ood amazed be- neath the dragons of the Ooliis and Lies; and with more then the admiration and wonder of the disciples of old when contemplating the huge stones of the

Temple, they turned to say, in almost the old words, "Lo. master, what manner of great beasts are these?” "These sre,"I replied, “the soa-mon-

stars and creeping things ofths second great period of organic existence." The reply seemed satisfactory, and we passed on together to tliq terminal apartments of the range appropriated to the Tertiary organisms. And there, before the enormous mammals, the mecha- nics sgsin stood in wonder. and turned to inquire. Aniici sling the query, I said, " And these huge sets of the earth. and the cattle of the third great period of organic existence; and yonder, in the apartment, you see. but at its further end, is the famous fossil-man Guadeloupe, locked up by the pelrifective agencies in a slab of limestone." The mechanics sgsin seem eat’ And, of course, had I encountered them in the tint chamber of the

obstiicle with those Wll0 insist upon taking the J

words of Moses in their literal sense; our author gives the following view of his ideas of this nice but important subject :—

Sucli are a few of the g iologicel facts which lend me to believe that the days In ilie Mosaic nocount were great periods. not natural days; and be it re- membered, that between the sclicnis tif lengthened

eriods and the scheme of a merely local clirtos, which existed, no one knows how, and ofn merely

local creation, which had its scene, no one knows J h

where, geological science leaves us now no choice w ittever. It has been urged, however, that this scheme of periods is irreconcilable with Hill! Divine “ reason" for the institution of the Sabbath which he who appointed the day of old, has. in his goodness vouclisafcd to in I have failed to see any force in the objection. God, the Creator, who wrought during six periods, re.-led during the seventh period; and us we have no evidence whatever that he recmii- menced his work of crcation—ns, on the contrary, man seems to be the last formed of crealures—God may be rt-sling still. The presumption is strong that 'x- Salilmlli is an extended peri , not a natural (la und that the work of Redemption is his Sabbath uy‘s work. ml so I cannot see that it in the least interferes with the integrity of the reason rendered, to read it us follows :—Work during six periods, and rest on the sevciilli ; for in six periods the Lord cre- nlcd llie licav-eiis und the earth, and on the seventh period he rtstusd. The Divine periods may have liceii wry great, the lllllllllll periods very siiinll;just us a vast coiiliiiciil or the huge enrtli itself is very grout, and n map or geographical globe very small; but if, in the nmp or globe, the proportions be faith- fully msinisinud, lllltl the scale, though a minute one, be true in I its parts and applications, we nounco the map or globe. notwithstanding the small- ness of its size, n fnitli a copy. Were man's Sab- butlis to be kept as isnjoiiicd, und in the Divine pro- portions, it would scarcely interfere with the logic of the " reason annert-d to the lourili coinmaiidment," though in this imiilor, as in all others in which man can lie on imimtor of God, the imitation should be a miniature onc.

'l‘he work of llcdemplion may, I repeat, be the work of God's Sabbath day. What, I ask, viewed as a whole, is the prominent characteristic of geologic history, or ofllini corresponding history of creation, which forms the grandly-fashioned vestibule of the sacred volume? U1" bolli alike the lending clniracisiisiic is progress. In both rtlike do we find an upward progress from dead matter to the hunibler

And after great cziltlc und beasts of the earth had, in due order, succeeded inanimate plants, sea-inonslent, and moving creatures that had life, the moral agent, mun, enters upon the scene. Previous to his appear- ance on earth, ouch succeeding elevation in the Ion upward march had been is result of creation. 'l‘lie creative list went forth, and dead matter came into existence. The crealive fie! went forth, and plants, with the lower nniinul forms. came into existence. 'l‘lie creative (in! went forth, and the ovipnrous unimals—birds and reptiles, came into existence. The creative lint went forth, and the nisirimifsrous uniinals——cniile und beasts of the earth, came into existence. And, finally, last in the series, the cron- tive lint went forth, and responsible, immortal man, came into existence. Bot has the course of progress come, in consequence, to at close.’ work of elevnling, ruining. lieiglilcniiig—of making the high in due progression succeed the low-—sii|ll

oes on. But man's responsibility, liis immortality, his God-implnnicd lmuincls respecting an eternal future, forbid that thin work of elevation and pr ess s ould be‘, as in all the other instances, a war of creation. To create would be to an reeds. God's work of elevation now is the work c filling and re-
