(Of the effects of tho late Hon. Dr. Conroy.

¢ N THURSDAY, the 18th instant, commencing at 12

o’elock, by Auction, at the Inte residence of the Hon, Dr, Conroy, | Water-street, the whole of the :

Recorder the course of conduct be pursued on the occasion to ghich we hare alluded, and his classic, though ‘ cautious and skilfal mind,’’ may have drawn its inspiration from the re- gllection of the infernal Cerberus, who had a faculty similar jg that his Honor shewed himself possessed of, namely, that. of barking from three mouths at once ; and a further proof is gferded by the acoount wo have received, that the quadruped geardian was not so strictly faithful to his duties but that a er, judiciously offered, would induce a relaxation of his efcial vigilance.

Mr. Lawson is, as we said before, the paid advisor of each ofthe parties to the matter in dispute, and so far might be considered excusable in his endeavours to save his friends of the Gas Company, by attempting to mystify the Council, as) the goddess saved her fallen protege at the siege of Troy by | ecreening him from his adversary by a cloud improvised for the’ occasion. .This, we say, was perhaps excusable under the peculiar circumstances in which the actor was placed ; but we consider Mr. Lawson's assuming, as he did, to pronounce judgment was in bad taste. True it is that |

«Men rush in where angels fear to tread,”

but we dislike to eee buffoonery attempting to ape dignity ; | end wo trust this observation may have the effect of inducing tn the “ cautious and skilful mind” of the Recorder a feeling of regret for the sorry exhibition which he made of himself on Monday last ; and cause him to reflect that there is a time and place for every thing—that the Common Council is not the | arena for the display of histrionics—that the judges of the land | ahould be respected, not ridiculed—and that what may be pardoned to the levity of youth is inexcusable in old age.

(From the Advertiser of Thursday last.) THE CITY COUNCIL.

A debate of more than usual interest took place at a late bour on Monday evening last, on a demand made by the Gas | Company for replacing their pipes—which, it appears, had | beon disturbed in the Streets by the City authorities, in oarrying out certain improvements designed by the Couneil. Tho Gas Company demanded payment ofa bill, which was hen before the Council. The Recorder being called on for} his opinion as to the legality of the claim, referred to the Act incorporating the Gas Company, and made a statement, at great length, showing how the matter would be conducted in edurt; he followed the cause in its various stages throughout —predicting judgment, in case of action, against the corpora-| iow fur the whele amount and costs: and finally stated it was | his opinion that the sum ought to be paid ; he had no doubt of the fogal liability of the corporation, informed the Council thet it was the invariable practice in al! cities to pay similar | demands, and that Boston, Mass., had paid thousands of) dollars on such occasions.

Mr. Rigg said, that before the Recorder had given his opin- ion, and made bis statements, he had certain definite ideas of his own as to the merits of the demand before the board; he had thought the claim of the Gas Company was singular ; but since hearing the lengthy exposition of the Recorder, the thing appeared to him (Mr. R.) wrapped in obscurity, at least so far as the Recorder's legal explanations went to clear it.

Mr. Barnard stated, he was not surprised at the Recorder's opinion ; he thought he was acting a defence for the Gas Com-

pany, aod had noted that that gentleman seemed to take a,

peculiar delight, sometimes when not required, and always when called upon, to make statements and give his opinion in|

Contradiction to that of the Council, and in opposition to what |

Sppeared just and reasonable; he considered him a perverse man, and st appeared to him to be his aim to bring that body into disrepute by urging it to adopt measures, which, if followed out, would bring his Worship and the Council into odium, he | had read the Act carefully over, and arrived at the conclusion that the Company's claim was unjust.

Mr. Pethick thought the Company had no right to any com- pensation for the claim they had demanded ; he would vote no money toward it, and he thought it was the Gas Company's look out to see they sunk their trenches such: a depth in places

where improvemeats must sooner or later be male, by laying |

their pipes a proper distance from the surface, as would) protect them from a cutting down of 18 inches or 2 feet.

Mr. McIsaac having come in late was not fully aware of the rature of the Company's claim, but he thought from what he | tad heard, be could not coincide with the learned Recorder. |

Mr. Stewart.—A great deal had been said upon this mat-|

ter, and he thought the reflection thrown on the Recorder

| body had been picked up.

shipbuilding has always been considered of paramount import- ance ; and deservedly so, as it has done much to keep up the /price of labor, not only in the shipyard, but from the first

The men were all saved, but Mr, Robinson, whon taken from the water, was much exhausted. He is cap- tain of the Brig Matchless, which arrived at New York with- in aday or two. The names of the persons drowneds are Mary C. Hamilton, aged 14, and Mary E. Hamilton, 22 years, sisters, and daughters of Mr. Hamilton, landlord of the Mariners’ House ; Miss Henrietta Greenough, aged 20; Mrs. Jane Erwin, 28; Mrs. Ellen Robinson, 20. The helmsinan of the ferry-boat was Mr. Otis L. Battis, a man of experience. | He states that when he saw the scows as he was entering the | ferry-slip, he locked astern and noticed a schooner in the dis- tance, but did not perceive the boat, so close was it to the ferry-boat. He gave but two revolutions to the engine to, back her, upon the second of which the rudder of the ferry- boat struck the sail boat. At the moment of the collision, the men in the boat jumped up to fend off, but the boat was caught in such a way by the | rudder, as te carry her immediately down, leaving the men | clinging to the rudder, Last night and this morning about | -~ persons have been employed in grappling for the boat and | bodies. This forenoon, they brought up the masts of the boat, attached to which was the body of Mrs. Erwin, whose face appeared somewhat scratched and bruised. Afterwards the boat itself was brought up, and attached to which was the body of Miss Greenough. It is rumoured that a third As the bodies of Mrs, Erwin and Miss Greenough were considerably bruised, ig is thought that the boat before sinking must have been struck by the paddle- wheels, though the opinion of those on board the ferry-boat is | against the supposition. Miss Greenough was a native of | Deer Isle, Me., where her parents reside. She was soon to be married. Her body will be taken home for interment. Cap- tain Robinson, in attempting to fend off, was placed in a most dangerous position, and his escape from death was quite re- markable.— Boston Traveller, Aug. 15. : a later account all the bodies have been found and uried.

LOCAL NEWS.

PROGRESS OF SHIPBUILDING IN P. E. ISLAND.

To record evidences of our advancing prosperity must at all times he a pleasing duty to the provincial press. In this Colony

stroke of the axe that breaks the stillness of the mighty forest,

ing, with its concomitant demands for labor, is continually benefitting our industrial population. In material we have ever had an amount of the best description, equal to the de- mand ; and the low standard of our ships at home can only be attributed to gross incompetency, or, worse still, culpable eare- _lessness on the part of those entrusted with their supervision in building. Last year, that world-renowned establishment, Lloyd’g, sent gentlemen out to the Coloniés to superintend shipbuilding—to suggest improvements, condemn old establish-

'a boat with peuple in his employ, and succeeded in recovering

the body—which had been carried away some distance down | the channel—not, however, until life was quite extinct. The deceased (Donald McDonald) was a young man very much respected, and his loss is deeply regretted.

On Monday, 25th ult., as a number of American fishing vessels were leaving Cascum pee Harbour, one schooner ground- ed on the barat the entrance ; three men got into a boat with | akcdge, for the purpose of warping her off. The wind was | very high, with a heavy cross-current, and the boat almost | iminediately swamped. Two men were rescued; the third | was, we are sorry to add, drowned. We are not informed of | the name of deceased, or of the vessel to which he belonged. We learn that on that and the preceding days, nearly 120 sail of fishermen left Cascumpec, generally weil-fished, and all hands well.—Adv.

Masonic Prentc.—A pleasure trip and picnic, under the aus- pices of the Brethren of St. John’s Lodge, came off on Thurs- day, the 28th August. The day was exceedingly pleasant, and at an early hour in the morning appearances promised a ** good time.’’ About 9 o'clock the little Steamer Jno, with about 100 ladies and gentlemen on board, left Bourke’s Wharf, Mr. Lobban’s Band was in attendance, and dispelled any disposition to ennui by its lively strains. The course up the West River, to McEwen’s Wharf, was highly interesting. The ever varying and picturesque scenery along the margins of the river was much admired; and as the boat swept on held up to view an inimitable panorama of nature’s loveliest painting. Arrived at the Wharf, the company separated into groups ; each bent on a hasty preparation of the dainties contained in his pienic basket. The beautiful grove which surrounds Mr. McEwen’s farm was literally aliye with ex- citement and gaiety. The hearty laugh from one little nook would find as hearty a response from innumerable others along the whole chain of forest. Mr. Thos. Williams took with him a large marquee, which was kindly placed at the disposal of those who preferred a stroll and then a shady retreat to the hilarity of the dance. A spacious barn was considerately thrown open to the party by Mr. McEwen, which was very soon occupied. This place was unanimously adopted for dancing. Messrs. J. Galbraith and John Murphy voluntaril resigned their own pleasure, or sought it only in contribution to that of others. Those two gentlemen—from their super violin music—were objects of great attraction; from about half-past one to five p.m., ynusic and dancing were kept up. All parties then returned to their temporary quarters in the grove, and partook of Tea, after which a general movement was made for the Boat. Coming down the River, dancing was resumed, and kept up until the Jno again reached Mr. Bourke’s Wharf. All parties seemed highly pleased with the recreation of the day, and we doubt not it will be long remembered with pleasure by those who participated in it.— Adv.

IST of CITY LICENSES issued to the 30th August, 1856:—

on a — question.

Mr. Davies thought the Council had not bestowed too much @ttention on the question before them ; he considered it an important one; it was not the small demand now made he contemplated, but the justness and the legality of the same. Ifthe Council paid this claim, it would put it out of their

power at any future time to consider further demands; now |

was the time then to decide, and the question was, had the Corporation trespassed upon the privileges of the Gas Company ? and had they exceeded the powers conferred on the city by

the Act of Incorporation ?—had they or had they not a right |

to make improvements in the Streets of this City without con- sulting the directors of the Gas Company? The Recorder had Said they ought to pay this Bill, and that a suit at law would compel them todoso. He regretted to say that he was forced to coincide with the views of Mr. Barnard, nor could he (Mr. D.) hove any respect for the advice of a gentleman who had so eften given deliberate statements on important questions referred ¢2 him, which were at variance with the laws and opposed to the dictates of comunon sense. The very clauses which the Recorder had selected in no way justified his opinion ; and at the same time he carefully abstained from referring to the law which | bestows and supports the power of the corporation. He (Mr. D) would not give up his deliberate opinion by any sophistry that might oat to persuade them to yield to a claim so unjust and ridiculous, that if they admitted it, the pw: J boys and old women of the city would laugh at them as fools.

It was then resolved, that the Gas Company’s bill be not id, they having in the opinion of the Council no claim on the city for renumeration.

Demand ror Lapovrers.—We have been favouged with the perusal of a letter addressed to W. H. Pope, Esq., of this City. by John Brookfield, Esq., Railway contractor at Moncton, in which the latter states that any number of labourers and some masons may find employment on the section of Railway which he has under contract.

being a dollarand upwards. The attention of persons in quest P

of employment is directed to Mr. Brookficld’s advertisement in another column.

THE MELANCHOLY AUCIDENT IN BOSTON HARBOR. FIVE FEMALES DROWNED.

Yesterday between six and seven o'clock, p- m., a party of

ten persons left the Mariner’s House, in North Square, for an

excursion in the harbour, embarking at Union Wharf, in the

}

Coker’s supervision, and, consequently, are not classed.

As this fleet hauled out, one after another, from the wharfs, and, under fell sail, stretched off on the larboard tack, beat- ing out of the river, the scene was animating in the extreme ; and the sailing qualities and model of each was the subject of /much discussion. On reaching the harbor’s mouth, they bore away before a free west wind for Britain. Those ships, and the men who command and man them, are a glowing type of our approaching elevation to rank and standing among the | sister British American possessions. There was a noble super-

| |

structure— reared by native genius; and now, in many in- stances, the same hands and heads which hewed the timber and controlled their erection, hold the helm and direct their course across the broad Atlantic. May propitious gales waft | them to the haven where they would be, and quick sales at good prices be the reward of our enterprising and ingenious | tellow-colonists.—Adv.

There is a time to laugh, a time to dance, and a time to play, | and so thought the girls, large and small, of the Charlottetown | Catholic Sunday School, at a tea drinking given to them at, Kensington, on Thursday eyening last. The day was fine, and | upwards of one bandied and fifty girls, all in high health and_ high spirits, indulged for a few hours in those plays and sports fitted to their age ; swings were erected among the trees for those who preferred this species of pastime ; music and dancing were — ted in not only by them but by children of a larger growth. A series of spacious tea tables, under the shade of the trees, we won’t say groaned under the weight of the bread and butter, cake and other delicacies so amply provided, | because we cannot bring our minds to the possibility of deal boards uttering sounds of woe on such a festive occasion ; and that, had they given voice to any feelings, they must have been more in accordance with the light but merry sounds of plea- sure and satisfaction, that emanated from the young and interesting guests that surrounded them. A splendid sunset, seen to the highest advantage through the vista of trees, under | the shade of which the feast was held, gave notice that it was | time for little folks to be making for home, and accordingly a' rocession was formed, to our minds far more impressive and unposing than any military array, and to the sound of pipe and drum the /ittle army of merry-makers marched into town, | many of them we doubt not to renew the scene, with variations, | probably in the dreams of the night, and all to anticipate a’ renewal of the same delights a twelvemonth hence. The Rev. Mr. Phelan, under whose auspices the feast was held, honored it by his presence during the early part of the evening, only having been compelled by parochial duties to leave early. His worship the Mayorand several other guests, |
