Rsrnoors sits N01‘ Puiti.s.—Few things are more diflicult than to reprove sin pro- perly ; yet even the avowed servants of God need it frequently and on difl'erent grounds. One day a person, in the apart- ment of an aged Christian woman, was la- menting a want of firmness in re roving the abandoned, especially when travelling ; and offering a pretty frequent apology in the caution, “ Give not that which is holy un- to the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls be- fore swine. ’

The aged woman seriously and instantl replied, “O, sir, kee and 'ust reproos are no pearls. Were you to talk to a wick- ed coachmnn, or omnibus driver, respecting the love ofGod shed abroad in the hearts by the Holy Ghost, and the pleasure of communion with God, you would cast pearls before swine ; but not in r 'n sin. Hear the command ofGod : ‘ 'I‘hou s alt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.’ ”

GENERAL INTELLIGENCE

IMPORTANT Iivvuitrioiv In run Manu- nc-ruaa or i.oua.—A most remarkable invention calculated to effect a complete revolution in the manufacture of flour, is

Illrancef Ilia Ibhhfeulll a rmltliat the flour’

is more nutricious, and will rise much soon-

er and more certainly. This is attributable

to the greater portion of gluten contained

in the flour manufactured by the “ conical” burrs. Every experiment tried with the

new method has proven, that within a given

time more than double the quantity of wheat can be ground than with the flat burrs and a larger amount of flour, of a better quality,

from the same quantity‘ of wheat be the product. The beneficial changes effected by this new invention are thus sufliciently enumerated:-—First, the reduction of the weight of the running stone from 14 cwt. to I; cwt. by placing it between instead of upon the fixed one; second, the reduction of the size of the stones in the proportion of 334 to I; and thirdly, the giving to the stories a new form--that of the frustrum of a cone .

We wish them that success which their enterprise well deserves, and with which we think the destinies of this flourishing Coun- ty particularl interwoven. No nee o goin to Cali ornia or Australia if the mi- neral wealth of our county be only properly developed. Carleton possesses ii. Stee - making Iron Ore in quantity sufficient to render Great Britain independent of Swee- den or Ru.r.si- for generations, and which onl re uires an outlay of some ofthe su- superabundant capital of Britain to make it as well known in London or Sheflisld as the best works of those Countries. We repeat, our Country is rich in Mine- ral wealth. We have seen a.very rich specimen of Lignite, the out-cropping of Coal found not over 3 miles from where we write, which, ignited well and burnt away leaving but very little residue.--We ave‘ also been shown Silver-lead fiuxed and melted from Ore found in this our County. These sources of Mineral wealth and onr high Agricultural Capabilities warrant the inference that Carleton is soon destined to take rank as one of the richest Counties in the Province of New Brunswick.

MR. WHELAN AND TH E MAQISTRAQY, In the printed speech of Mr. Wholun there is this clause, " Hon. Mr. Whelsn would, however, say, that it was very fortunate for that hon. member (Mr. Palmer) that the accusation which be had thrown out agiiinst him (Hon. Mr. Whslan) had been made un-' der the ssnctusry of the Assembly; for hodzit been made elsewhere, he would have dragged him before the tribunal where he was so often obliged to seek assistance from the quirks and quibbles of the law to sustain him in his advocacy of a bad cause ;—hs-would have bearded the lion in his don." This was mesiit to be a very high-sounding period, - a very valcrous note of defiance; and had it been acted up to. Mr. Whclan would have proved, at least, that he was sincere in making the assertion. ‘Why did he not heard the lion in his den? Why did he not file a declaration for libel against Mr. Palmer the instant the House was prorogued ? Had he done so, and Mr. Palmer had pleaded his privilege, then there might have been some hardship for him to complain of. But Mr. Palmer would have put in no such plus, he would have done the same thing that he did in the House.- hs would have justified the assertion; and the ques- tion would then have been tried before a competent tribunal, and the same question would have been submitted to the jury that is now submitted to the public, and the former would have virtually fuund Mr. Whslau guilty, if they had had acquitted Mr- Paliner. Mr. Wholun must, therefore, be considered as having acquiesced in the justice of the charge made by Mr. Palmer, and the declaration made by him in the House as an empty throat which he did not dare put is sxscution. But if Mr. Palmer wars privileged, Mr. Inga was surely not.— he is no member of Pur- lismont, nor is his paper privileged. Has not Mr. Ings given him sulficient provocation? has he not rupsatedly in the Islander stigrnatisud Mr. Whslcn as a porjured msn.—-and on the very ground, too, of tho taliing this oath of qualification without having the

were opportunities which Mr. Wbslau mfiltt -have availed himself of. If Mr. lugs had not justified. Mr. Wholau would have boss in a position to shew that both Mr. Ings and Mr. Palmsr wars slsndorcrs. and be (Mr. Wholan) an injured man. Mr. legs is a man who could respond to a verdict of damages fully as wall as Mr. Wholaa. and, we suspect. sch bet- ter. Mr. Whslau may slfsct to despise and costume, as beneath his notice. any thing. that may appear in the editorial columns of a newspaper, and soloing as ho is attached merely as tbs odhor of thopticutts it may be well to do so. But Mr. Whslau has bssu attached by tho Islander as s uiombsr of tho Associ- bly,—as bsvlsg obtained a seat in It ssdsr fulos pro- tuucss, and as having taken a false oath incrdsr to support thsso pvotsncas, -and it became ‘a duty he owed to himself to clur his character from the aspar- sloas that been cast upon it. It has been said, both by the Lisut. Governor and Mr. Whslsn. that those was no objection made is Mr. Wlislsu's uauis being is the Cousnhsios of the Peace for the whole Iqland tor two whole yours.

griuvunos; the attempt to bolster up his character by giving hiai a rfiht is at on the sums bench with ihcss vnliobsar tbs character of honest uieii. And thsn ellllu the question with those gontlumeu: Can we, under the circumstances, bring ourselves to associate withu man whose character for truth and integrity has been so publicly assailed, and with a show of truth, supported by evidence that, until disproved. we cannot refuse giving ‘crsdoocs to.—a man who. ac- cording to the svidoaes adduced by himself. had obtobsd his seat in, the Assembly by fraud, and who in taking the oath that he was qualified by law for that asst. had added. and most snutorially so, to the wrong. was, unlsuulie could satisfactorily sxplsin tbss conduct, an unfit man to place on the bunch of justice to sit in judguuntupon his fellow mes. What con- fidence could be rspnsod in one who was ovsu sus- psctsd of disregarding the moral and legal obligation of on oath?

But Mr. Wbclun relies upon his acquittal by the House. Jobs Ls Lachsur siiglit as tool! have pleaded his acquittal. Mr. Whalan has stated, that Mr. Pal- mer was compelled by an unanimous vote of the House, to retract the accusation. It is so recorded in the Journals of the House, but erroneously; for the Journals carry their own refutation. Immediately after. Mr. Montgomery moved that the Hon. Edward Whelsu_' had not a legal qualification when he took his seat in this House in March, 1850; and Mr. Pope having moved, as an amendment, that Mr. Montgom- ery have leave towitbdrnw his motion, the House divided, and the'rc were for the motion 10, against it 9. So much for the House being unanimous. The same may be said of Mr. Thornton's and Mr. Ilavi- land's amendments. the day previous. It is evidently. then, a olorioal error, or it may be that the Committee for revising the Journals, of which Mr. Whelan was the chairman, undertook to interpolate the Word unan- imously. But how or why it got there is of no conse-

usnce; it is not true. No division was demanded, and it was therefore the resolution of the House. bu; not the unanimous resolution of the House; — an it being the resolution‘ ofthe House, Mr. Palmer did rfulii to retract. Ho withdrew the accusation—be- cause he was compelled so to do by that resolution- as a mess matter of course, and consequently mean- ing nothing. Did Mr. Whslsn ever ask Mr. Palmer whether he did so upon the conviction that he had made an erroneous charge, or did he still persist in his assertion of the truth of it? We rather think not. Mr. Puliner, or we greatly mistake, would have an- swered the quostioii,and that unequivocally. All we can "say is, that if ’Mr. Wlielan is satisfied with the unani'niotis—au he calls it — resolution of the House, and Mr. Pslmur's compliance with it. it is what no ‘man possessed of the feelings of a gentleman would be, and, as we said in the commencement. the whole qiies'tion_is a part of the political history of the Island; and. as such, every man has a right to his own opin- ion on the mhttor;—-we have ours; and so far us say- ing that on the 29th day of January, l860, and the day Mr. Wholaq ‘first took his seat in the House of Assembly on its 5th March, 1850, be had no legal

of this fact there does not exist the possibility‘-of a doubt in the mind of any man at all qualified to form

I " .WhstlLcr_iniak.insthsosth tlluths; was‘_s6"qps_1lfi'ed, Mi‘. Wltslan committed the crime of ‘perjury, is a question that every man must judge for himself from the evidence.

Whothur Mr. Wholsn will choose, at this late hour. to adopt the‘ plsaiof ignorance. is for himself to say. It is, is our opinipn, the only one that is open to him; but who will say, it can avail him. In reviewing this, ‘as one of Ills other circumstances alluded to by the retiring magistrates, we think it one which, from its magnitude, rpnders unnecessary the production of what must necessarily be minor and, viewed in com- parison, probably vcnisl olfsncos, such as the open unqualified applause of the actions of traitors, and the s_orrow expressed for the failure of their trensoriable attempts, and tho denunciation of the tribunals that pronounced sentence on the offenders alter an impar- tial investigation as partisan judges.

We feel that we have but done our duty, in bring- ing tho matter before the public. We leave them to decide. _

[I'-‘or,Hsss.srd's Gssette] Ma. HAIZAID,

Sir,—A late number of the Advertiser con- tains a letter dated Flinty Glen,Decembcr 20th, written in reply to some_remarks signed " An 0 server," who is peared in your Gazette of the 10th instant. Hpad the writer confined him- self to a discussion of the question, without mixing it -with irrelevant matter, and invidious allusions altogether, beside the mark, I make no doubt but before now he would have been fairly answered by “ Observer,” who obviously wishes to avoid the ‘display afiectod by. that

correspondent. His second '»para b in: flowin specimen of the hesdlon , ro lio ing, style; at does_ho

No, says he, "they submitted;” and why I rejoin did they submit? simply because on a division they foun ourselves in a mino- rity—'-singular, mdoed, that they did not re- si . .

and anon others the two quoted in “ Obser- ver's" let r.

To these two petitions which were both ad- dressed to the King, one by the Freebolders of Middlesex, and the other by the City, “ Obser- ver’s" remark was manifestly oonflned ; and the extracts given from them, as well as the fore- goin observations, will sufliciently indicate what or or no the grievances complained o in those days, bear any aflinity to more recent oc- currences which immediatel concern ourselves.

“ Rover” should have given the date of the debate he refers to ; if it were that of the Btli of May 1769, it was before either of the titions was resented ; and it matters not w t Lord ’s threats then were, towards any one who should si such a petition as Mr. Towns- bend warned im to expect. “ Rover". should have informed us of the nature of the Minister's threats, and what he said and did. after the

etitions had been received by lii_s Mtfeflty :_0ne signed by no less than 1565 of his su jecta in a sin le county, and both by man persons of woafltb and distinction, whoseloya ty had neyer been questioned. These petitions not receiving proper attention, certain corporate bodies adop- ted a still bolder tone of remonstrance ; and Iinay here be allowed to assist Rover in his historical researches, by directing his attention to two subsequent petitions presented the ear following, one on the 14th of March, an the other on the 23d of May 1779. I do not wish to mislead, but I think he will.find that it was the first of these latter petitions that called forth parliamentary notice, and the reply to the second that roduccd the memorable words of Bcckford to t 0 King.

Referring to a work of some authority on the political events of that day, as rcga_rds the last mentioned titons, [find the following ssago -—“ about his time the courtiers talk of'no- thin buts. bill of pains and penaltiesn inst iho rd Mayor and Slieriflii, or inipeac ment at the least ;” and a few lines further on—_‘‘ all their magnanimous threats ended in a ridicu- lous vote of censure, and a still more ridiculous address to the Kin .’

So much for a brief review ofhistorical facts, which by comments on a gurbl extract from “ 0bscrver’s" letter, “ Rover" would fiiin make it be believed have been misrepresented to the
