geSULT OF THE ELECTION. |

Tx General Election being now over, we have the satisfaction to congratulate the country on the triumph of British Goustitutional principles, as evidenced in ts result. The fifth of August is marked by the people of Nova Scotia as a day ef peculiar import to that Province. The PIETH of February will be equally |

it is difficult to determine accurately the precise majority the Liberals will have in the new House, as there are some who bave not yet made any public decla- ration of their principles. We know, however, that there will be a@ majority of seven or eight sure ; and that among these wil! be foand men as talented, respect- able, and as fully competent to the dis- charge of legislative duties aw any of therr predecessors.

When we reflect on the odious tyranny the nti-British party have laboured to perpetucte in this Island—the msuiting language in which vs inhabitants have been represented, by Newspaper writers ant Qesoates makers, as wnfit te enjoy he privileges of Britons,—we feel sur- prised that every constituency to a man did not vindicate their own honour and

were rolled out for all to refresh them- selves, The populace were then addressed by Mr. Coles and some other of the mem- bers; after which the procession again moved on, and having passed through most of the streets, cheering at every cross, halted opposite the old Court House, near the end of Queen’s Street, where the people were again addressed by Meesrs. Coles, Lord, Whelan, M*Ne:l}, and Moo- ney. Another circuit of the Town was then made by the Proeession, and arriv- ing in front of the Victoria Hotel, cheer- ing and speecli-making were renewed. Mr. Coles then intimated that a repast was there prepared for the members and their friends in the Car, while those outside who formed the Procession, and who eould not be provided for at the Victoria, would be entertained at his own residence and at that of Mr. Lord, where, we have been given to understand, tables groaned beneath the weight of the most substantial viands, free to every one to go and enjoy,

The rejoicing was kept up till a late hour in the evening; and weare glad to be able to state thatno disturbance in the least degree marked the progress of the Procession—no offence was given te any individual. In short, it was the most peacefal, good-tempered demonstration of public joy it was ever our happiness to witness; and never in this Island were so many of its ivhabitants assembled to-. gether to celebrate a political victory.

Fifteen persons were killed outright, and and thirty-eight horribly scalded—many | of whom have since. died. At the time of the explosion, the steamer South Ame- rica was nearat hand. Captain Baker of the St. Joseph, immediately hailed the South America to board the wreck and take off the survivors, as his yaw! was en- gaged in picking up those who were blowa into the river.

The South America towed the wreck tothe shore. Captain Beker, with the assistance of part of his crew, and some passengers, succeeded in recovering the

| iron chest from the wreck, which contain-

ed $1300 or $1400. He took the monev

: out of the chest, counted it, and handed

it to the elerk of the South America for safe keeping. The next day Captain Ba- ker asked the clerk for the money, as he wanted to pay offhis crew. The clerls refused to pay over more than $300 of the sum—claiming the rest for salvage.

| This town was Jast night the theatre of 'a melancholy series of events involving ‘the destruction of human life to a very | serious and deplorable extent. The ca- | pacious and beautiful building, formerly | known as * The College,” but for months 'in the possession of the guardians of the poor as an hospital, was found to be on fire atten o’clock. So effectual! did the devouring element grapple with every crevice of the edifice, as to leave it a blackened heap of ruins in about-two hours after the alarm was.first given. It contained 162 patients in the morning, and this day leaves, it issaid, 15 of them missing. No exertion that humanity could suggest was omitted on the part of the artisans to save life, and no aid could be more efficient than that afforded by Mr. M‘Lean, the superintendent of the
