SIR; I beg, through the medium Of your useful Journal, to ask the Chin-ch VVardcna and Vestry OfSt. Paul’s Church, in this Town, if it‘lic their intention to suffer the beautiful scqfl'oldmg around its Tower to remain until blown dowu, or until it falls from natural decay? assuring them that ifthcy think it ornamental, the congregation in general are of“ very difi'erent opinion—to say nothing 0l the risk of'beinu maim- ed, which the attendants on Divine \Vorsliip at that Church are liable to, at this boisterous Season, it'it should be blown about their ears some Sabbath morning, on their attempting to enter the Church.

Elt'is the consideration, then, (says he) of this NON-EFFI- ‘nilttt‘t‘ slate of'our Island Press, particularly as compared—- (with What ?)—with that of the neighbouring Province of .Vova Scotiafll), that has at length broung about the advent of the first number of Tm: ISLANDSR, the beginning, we trust, ofn'loug series of honest, useful, loyal and patriotic papers.

And is FLAGELLA-ron, for daring to reply to the vituperatious ‘llttnder ofthe Islander, to be cnlumninted as displaying a “spirit of tnaliguity” worse and more detestable than that of

This recently discovered beautiful Art, which has obtained so much deserved attention and Celebrity both in the Old aiul New Wm”. has, after long practice, studv and expense, been brought by Ill-tin l0 a pitch of perfection wliibh they flatter themselves has not been equalled elsewhere.

As ivprescnt to a distant relative or friend, nothing would be more highly prized than such a Portrait, and the charge being so buy, puts the gratification within the reach ofall.

PROSPECTUS or A WEEKLY PERIODICAL, TO BE CALLED

THE OLIVE BRANCH,

Devoted to Temperance, Morality, Education, Literature, 8pc.

THE Committee of the Halifax Temperance Socirty,

being fully persuaded that a \Veckly Paper, published under the auspices «ifllie Tempo rancc Societies throughout the Pro- vince, and edited by a person of talent, judgment and good taste, would greatly promote the interests of the Benevolent, Patriotic and Christian cause of’l‘cnipcr'aiuw, and by a judicious interinixture ofsuitable subjects, would tend to create it taste for moral and polite Literature. where it does not yet exist, and to foster it where it is already formed ;——respcctfiilly solicit the aid and (tn-operation of those Societies to carry into effect so useful an undertaking, sensible that with such patronage and assistance, success is certain, while without these it is doubtful, ifnnt hope- less.

The principal objecr'nfthe intended Journal being to advocate the interests of Temperance, it will contain reports Of the state, the progress, and the prospects uftlie cause, not only in this Pro- vincc, but throughout the World ; correspondence oftlic Mission- aries and ofihe country Societies, aml original and selected Ar- ticles hearing directly upon the subject. It will also embrace :1 Weekly Summary ufilic Current Ne-.vs,divelted ofpoliiiral bias; occasional article-i connected with Education, Science, and Gene- ral Literature; Moral Tales, Poetry, &c.

In ‘a word, it is the anxious desire and the dearest wish oftlic Committee. to publish a Paper that shall bu worthy oftbe cause and principles which they advocate, useful to the rising genera- tinn,arceptaible to the Community at large, and a credit to Nova South-r; and with these iritcntioii< and these hopes, they venture to solicit for the proposed periodical a liberal share of public pa- troungc, especially as the extremely low price at which it will be published will place it within the reach of every family; while the field which they propose to cultivate being now unoccupied-- being a waste—its improvement will nut interfere with the use- l'ul labors ofthose who are directing upon other subjects the en- ergies ofthe Press.

Shani-l sufficient encouragement offer, the first number of “THE Ours Biuxcu” will be issued the First Saturday in January next. It will be primed on paper of the same size and quality as thntof“ I‘he Morning Herald," previous to its en- largement, and its mechanical execution Wlll be neat and accurate.
