when tho integrity and ms’ t of the law were upheld and maintained. J“ ’

Next with respect to the legality of tho ur-' ohaso _of these liquors. The Store of ilfiiine either ignorsptly or wilfully misled its readers and thqopublic, by aﬁrming that the law con- teuipla the urchase ofliqucrsb "the Agent, the inference in , that the pure use by any one else, even for t a use of the agency was an infraction of it, whereas it will appear from an extract from the Act itself, which we give in another place, that the Mayor and Al-

ermen were the pro or persons to make the purchases, consequent y t at the resolution of the Board and that of the Committee acting in obedience to it were strictly correct.

Next with regard to the conduct of the May- or and the Police authorities; we think no un- prejudiced mind will pronounce judgment against them on a hearing of all the circum- stances of the case. A mob collected at night. The make an attack on the property of the pub ic. The conservators of the peace’ are stationed inside to defend it. They are assail- ed with stones. one of them weighing twenty pounds. They intreat the rioters to desist, warning them of the consequences.—Instend of thanks, they get abuse for their pains, and are accused of cowardice. Repeated attempts are made to lirerik in the doors. What are they to do ' Are they to stand there and see the public property destroyed before their eyes . The State of Maine and its contem- porary the Argus, try to make light of the alIair—it was only a bit of sport, it was no harm to spill a little liquor in the gutter! That the mob was bent on the capture and destruction of the liquor, there cannot be the slightest shadow of a doubt. "hat they did what they could to break open the doors, is quite manifest. in their insane attempts to injure and destroy City pro- perty. they persevere notwithstanding the firing of the Police over their heads; and there can be no question, that had they succeeded in effecting an entrance, much more serious consequences would have ensued. Either they -would have been suffered to accomplish their object without lot or hindrance, or else the Police force would have defended the public property at all hazards. Which would you have had them do, Reader ?-—

ive way to a lawless mob, suffer the law of the sad to be trampled under foot, or resist the trans- grossor by force and arms! here can be but one alternative in such cases. There can be no respect for the laws,unless they are promptly and fearlessly vindicated. If the Police were justified (and it will be observed lroni the accounts which we have published, it was not the Military as has been asserted. but the Police that ﬁred ﬁrst) in discharging ﬁrearms against the rioters, it was as well to do it ﬁrst as last, and the probability is that less blood was spilt, than there would have been had a combat taken place inside the building. Why should God-fearing and law-abiding citizens sympathize with the Portland mob. If the some resistance were made by a private citizen in do- fending his property, and a rioter were killed, the public would say, it served him right. It would not be considered necessary or desirable that an individual should wait until he were maimed or a member of his family had been killed, or until his house were tired before ﬁring upon the aggres- sor; why then wait in the case of a disturbance of the public peace? is the public property loss vslusblethsn that of a private person! Is the life of a man less dear to him because he happens to he a Mayor s Policeman, or acting in the capacity of a citizen-soldier ?—ls he to stand more insult or expose himselfthc more to injury, than if he were acting in defence of his own life? It would be a strange doctrine to maintain—that thepiibiic authorities should wait to be killed (the bull is intentional) before using their ﬁrearms. If such a doctrine were to obtain, we wonder who would be fool enough to volunteer to assist in the maintenance ofthe public peace!

To crown the absurdity of the whole proceed- ings against the Mayor comes the public meeting. This meeting, convened ostensibly for the purpose of alloying public excitement and instituting an investigation into the circumstances of the case, begins its deliberations by prejudging and berating the Mayor, and ends by sending a deputation modestly asking him to resign his office. Was there ever greater puerility and eﬂiontery than this ?—Surely the people (if this assemblage is to be digniﬁed by the name) of Portland must have taken leave of their senses or else they never had any. If they have, they must be heartily ashamed of their proceedings.

HASZARJTS GAZETTE.

Wednesday, June 27, 1855.

Our readers will perceive by the copious extracts from the papers received by Fridays mail, that affairs in the east, have assumed a more promising appearance. The taking of Kcrtch without loss, and the subsequent capture of Genitchi, have left the Allies masters of the sea of Azotf. The consequence of their successes will be great and important, inde- pondontly of the immediate injury inflicted on the enemy, by the destruction of the immense supplies which had been collected for the use of the army. A few more such triumphs and a lasting peace will

plstion of the loss of human beings, and the designs. tion of the necessaries of life on a scale so extended, it is so nothing when compared with allowing a semi-barbarous people like the Russians, toobtsin such a preponderance of power, as would in all ‘probability enable them to engage the greater part of Europe. It is more than conjectural that these ad- vantages of success fully followed up will induce Austria and the other northern powers to join the Allies, and enable them to prescribe permanent bound to the ambition of the present, and all future ,zars.

(For Hasz-ard's Gazette.) Sir :

Placards from the Advertiser oflice have been posted up, calling on “Retormers to atten ll'0l].l Kin ‘s and Queen's Counties on St- Peter’s Road, 18 miles from Town, on the first Tuesday in July next, to take into considera- tion the Land Question, &c.”

Ibeg to suggest to the Reformers who may attend the Meeting, that they will not allow an oliicial’s boy from Town, to serve to them ar ent spirits, (as was done last winter.) to divert them from the purposes for which the Meeting has been called. It will be more ser- vice to them, if they would take a leaf out of the Royal Agricultural Society's Book, and com cl the powers that be, to practice Politi- cal conomy, in having the Laws, Royal G zette &c., printed by tender, which will not only save several hundreds a year to the Pub- lie, but also be the means of utting a stop to a ver great deal ofabominab e abuse between the and BI. Newspapers. The Electors have only to say to their Re resontatives do it, and it must be done. If t e Electors are in earnest about Reform they will be peacesble, temperate, ﬁrm and determined, and they must be aware of the stratagems of their enemies; let the ralléing cry of the Reformers be, Vote by Ballot, lective Councils. Court of Inquir and the downfall of Corruption, the lone wi follow the other, as sure as day follows night, hoping that the people will be successful in ob- taining all their 'ust rights and liberties, and that in their on eavours, they will not for t the d ing Father’s advice to his sons about t o

SUPREME COURT.

The Supreme Court commenced its sittings for Trinity Term yesterday. John Morris, Esq., was sworn foreman of the grand jury. The Hon. the Chief Justice charged the Jury to the following eﬂiect :

Mr. Foreman and Gentlemen of the Grand

H E -s

Calendar of Criminal oll'ences for this Term contains ver few cases, and amongst them, one onl o a serious character, and therefore Gent emen, as far as the Court is informed, it is robable your duties in this res ct, will not e very onerous.

ere are three cases for your consideration it inst (parties charged with deceit, in havin o taine goods under false retences: this 0 - fence is a misdemeanor in aw. "he iirties

are charged wth liavin fraudulently pretended to have been authorize by third persons to ob- tain tlic goods in their names and on their credit. In these cases to warrant you in find- in true Bills, it must be made out to 'oin in evidence that the prosecutors parted wit their

roperty by reason of the false pretence al- eged, which must clearly appear to be false, and that it was obtained with intent to cheat or defraud some person.

There is also a case a inst several parties, for resisting a Bailiff o a small debt Court, in the execution of his duty, and rescuing a prisoner in his lawful custody, which will require your attention, involving as it does the due execution of the laws of the land, without which no communit can long held together in peace and safet . at by for the most serious case is one against a party charged with coun- terfeiting the silver coin of the Realm, an of- fence by statute of this Colony made Treason, and which sub‘ cts the party to the nalty of death: To su tantiate a change 0 this_ up-

question is counterfeited, and that it resembles or is ap rently intended to resemble the Queen's urrent Silver or gold coin, and it is not necessary to show he was detected in the act of coining, but presumptive evidence, as in other cases will be suﬁicient, via., that false coin was found in his possession,and that there were coining tools found in his House or in his possession. In the event of the Crown Ollicers not deeming the evidence suﬂieiently conclusive against the party to warrant the charge for coining and uttering counterfeit Coin, which is only a misdemeanor in law, the proof you re uire to find a Bill, is that the

money uttere was counterfeit, and that the party knew it to be such. Counterfeitin the coin of the Beziliii and uttering counter eitcd

we trust be the result. Molaseboly so is trio coatotn- at

band e of sticks, and that they will bear in god 1,

coin are novel crimes in this Colony, where happily hitherto nothing of the kind has ever been petrated or attempted. .

These are the only cases for your consider- ation which have come to the knowledge of the Court, but you are doubtless aware Gentlemen, that your inquiries are not limited to the cases given on in char b the Court, but of right exten s to all other 0 ences and misdemeanors committed within your County, if any such come to your knowledge, you are bound to pre- sent them, taking care however that you re- sent no person on light sus icion merely, at only on a reasonable probability of the guilt of the party, satisfactorily established before you in evidence, and that a majority of your num- ber concur in such presentment, that majority to consist of twelve at least.

The local statutes of the Colony relating to the licensing of Public Houses require the Court to bring the system under the notice of the Grand Juries every term. and therefore it is necessary to observe that our duties and

owers under these acts, exten to the granting certificates to parties to enable them to obtain licenses in sue localities as you think should possess licensed public houses on their comply- ing with the requirements of the acts in ques- tion, and also to exercising a wholesome super- vision over public Houses for which license have already been granted, and on complaint of disorderly or improper conduct in the kee - ore of said houses, substantiated before you in evidence, you are authorized to suspend or annul and wholly abrogate the license of the parties, but as your decision is ﬁnal and admits of no appeal, your duty diﬁering in this res- pect from the ractice of grand juries in ordinar cases, 0 liges you to ear evidence on both si es, before you make any order affecting the rights of the parties complained against.

By the Acts referred to you are required to prevent all parties guilty of the oﬁence of re- tailing spirituous or fermented Liquors with- out license, in order that they may be ‘prosecu- ted for the penalties imposed for such an oﬁenoe, an Act passed by the Legislature in its last session authorises the granting of certi- ﬁcates to parties to enable them to obtain Tavern Licenses on the recommendation of a majority of the Grand Jury in attendance, altering the practise in this res ect, as regula- y a previous statute. T o several Acts adverted to, will be laid before you for our guidance, and in the performance general y of your im rtant duties as Grand Jurors, the Court wilbe happy to afford you its counsel and assistance.

NOTES BY THE WAY.

The do. before we left St. John, we visited Messrs. lerk and Sons’ establishment for turn- ing lasts, planing, sawin an matoh-mak- in . hese gentlemen li e a eat many at ers in St. John, have been near y ruined by ﬁre; they informed us that they had been burnt out just after they got all their machinery in order, and were only now recovering and t- ting fresh machinery agoing. By the way w ilo we were in St. John, we hardlyen' yed a night's sound rest from the frequency 0 the alarms of

ﬁre, and the great damage done to property, showed that they were not merely alarms; one night, three houses were burned and another ﬁve. The principal ﬁre bell was within twenty ards of our hotel. and in the night it seemed if it was ringing directly over our heads. The tires were twice distinctly visible. and nearly all the inmates were aroused, but afterwards the tire-bell rather lulled me to sleep, in the States we never hood 9. ﬁre, leaving all to the tire- men, in St. John, however, every body seems to be on the us‘ i-ivr. It surprised us to see that so man wooden buildings are left, knowing how se- vere y the eity had suffered. To return to Messrs Clerks’ establishment. A machine for turning shoemnkers’ lasts was put in motion for us; to see a lathe turning out so irregular a sha ed article as a last was certainly a cat curiosity, but it would take up too much 0 our space to describe it. Then again we saw them sawing up small blocks of wood for making matches, urge quantities of wood were on the top of the steam boiler seasoning for that pur- pose, and we were surprised to ice the amount of labour expended on an artic e sold so very cheap. A saw for making scroll work was in o ration. They contemplated do:.ng many other t ings, but a great part of their machinery was not put up. There were many other factories, such as we should like to see at work on this island, which

we looked into as we had some spare time on ---

our hands, and which we are sorr to see so little encouragement iven to. any things could be manufacture on the Island ohea r than elsewhere, but persons starting anything new in any place have disadvanta s to con- tend with, such as the want of wor men, and the diliieult of obtaining material, which are quite enoug to discourage them, without hav- ing to pay a duty on the machinery theyimport, which machiner as ct cannot be ma e on the Island. Why s oul there be a duty on ma- chinery, when in many cases there i no duty on the article manufactured! There is no duty on boards, flour, or cloth sent away to be dyed and dressed, books and ninny other things, yet

‘hero is I duty id on the machine in ortsd in nianufacturept.hese th gs. {db noi’ wish ‘o see any protective dut on home-inanufae- turos, but we should like to see the home manufacture at least put on equal footing with the foreign. But in seine cases, there is a pro- tective duty, and a very high one, on a home manufacture, and on one which brings no; wealth to the communit , we mean on whiske our readers well know, owand why this is ro- tected above all others, but this is not the p see to say anything more on this subject. we will take it up at a more convenient season.

Leaving St. John on Thursday, 17th May, we touched at East ort for an hour to load and receive freight an passengers. Taking our departure from thence, we coasted down the rock-bound shores of the state of Maine, until we arrived at Portland on Friday morning; as we were late for the early railway train, and as the do. was beautifull fine, we referred keeping t e steamer, unti our arrive. in Bos- ton, which place we made at about 6 o'clock on Friday evening. We always prefer a private house to a hotel when we can procure one ; on this occasion we directed our steps to the house where our brother lodged last winter, whilst studying at the medical school. We were kindy received and right glad were we to know that he had fallen into such good hands, and that while there he had become so great a favorite with its inmates.

Our next notice will be of what we saw in Boston.

There was no news in the (pa Lady Le Marchant which arrive yesterday.
