By the Mail which arrived last evening we have received our usual files of American and Colonial Newspapers—they are, however, entirely destitute ofNews of any description.

We have devoted a‘ considerable portion of this day’s paper to the correspondence which has lately: passed be- tween Lo/rd Falkland, Lieut Governor of New Scotia, and the Hons. Messrs. Uniacke, Howe and McNab, on the sub- ject of the resignation by the latter oftheir seats in the Exe- cutive Council; 65c. Though rather lengthy, we have no doubt these documents will be perused with interest by many ofour readers, tending, as they do, to exhibitin a striking pointofview, the practical working of that system of Colo- Iiial Government for the establishment of which the Liberals of Nova Scotia have been so long contending.

BANKRUPT ,LAw.—'~A synopsis of the Bankrupt Law lately passed by the Canadian Legislature will be found in our ‘ fourth page to-day. We have been induced to give publi- clty to this document, at the present moment, under the un- ‘pression that it may possibly afford our legislators some use- ful hints .in the preparation of a similar measure for this island—the necessity for which has again been pressed upon their attention by _HIS Excellency the Lieut. Governor, in Happening-speech, and against which we have heard no {solid objections raised in-any quarter.

Mr. John Little was by his side, shouting at intervals, “ Hear him! Hear him!!” One or two of the Mooneys, and Mr. Anthony Dougau, were also there, endeavouring to get a hearing. The latter gentleman thrust it piece of paper into my hand, desiring me to hand it to him when he would take the chair. However, he took no chair, but stood up in a sleigh, and as I wished to have nothing to do with them, I returned him the paper, which I did not or could not read a word of.

SlR;—At the suggestion ofa friendpwho observes, with regret,‘some individuals that have hitherto been esteemed irien of piety, take up active, qfiici'ous interference in political iiitrigue,_to carry on the elections for the seats lately vacated, I transmit to you, for publication in the Herald, the annexed extract, in hopes the advice given by a famous and faithful preacher to Republicans, in tlieyState of New York, may at— tract the notice ol certain reSpectable individuals, who have made themelves conspicuous as canvassing tools, and abet- tors ln schemes purposely contrived to advance the influence and interests ofa few individuals, under the pretext of for- warding the popular weal. \Vhen the object for which they have been used has been attained, they will be deservedly despised, and denounced as hypocrites, who assume a char- acter to which they can have no pretensions; otherwise they would not be duped by any man, how exalted soever, to de- grade themselves by i-iipporting‘meii whom they have pro- fessed to consider unworthy ofpatronage.
