A FEW WORDS IN SEASON.

17 is a time-honored custom with the geutlemen of the Fourth | Estate to make the commencoment of a new year the occasion for offering some desultory observations on matters and things | in general, and nothing in particular. We are not inclined to allow the custom to be “‘ more honoured in the breach than the | observance,’’ so far as we are concerned, ayd therefore, gentle | reader, we must hold you hy the button-hole for a few brie moracnts.

With respect, in the first place, to #0 purely personal a

matter as our own position as a journalist—we have no desire to be garralous. We enter on another year in a spirit no less

buoyant and confiding than when we first commenced to address the public through these columns. Like all others similarly circumstanced, we have had serious difficulties to encounter and |

petty obstacles to overcome, but they were never suifered to

slacken our energies or impair our hopes of ultimate success.

Qur Journal iy now established on as fizm a footing as any | other in the Colony—we care not what other may be named; | and we are satisfied that the number of those who read it is

|

that has placed us in this position, we are egotist enough to |

g believe that it is not undeserved; for surely it cannot be for- gotten, that during the stormy times which preceded the adveni of Responsible Government, Tuz Examiner had little or no support from other presses in the battle fur constitutional

liberty, and it did the state some service in helping to bring |

that battle to a glorious termination. In the course of our party conflicts, many things may have been written and put in print, of which our reason and judgment might not approve at a less exciting time. But we have seldom been the aggressor iu trespassing on ground sacred to the courtesies of society ,— our warfare has been rather a defensive one,—we may have sometimes, indeed, carried our arms into the enemy’s country, when justice demanded punishment fur wanton and unprovoked

outrage. On the whole, we can bear the recollection of the

past without many ‘* compunctious visitings of conscience.”’ Editor, publisher and proprietor —all in the one person — whatever sing may haye been committed in the management of Tor Exawinrcr are our own; we have never, thank Heaven, been under the humiliating necessity of hiring a mercenary to sin for us, and thus to double the weight of moral responsibility. But to cast all personal considerations to the winds, the history of the past year is pregnant with events of a most striking and important character, Those connected with the progress of the war ia the Crimea wiil ever be deemed the most important, from the stupendous nature of the contesi in which four great nations are engag sd against a barbarous and colossal power, not merely for the purpos: of preserving to those four nations their ancient greatness and renown, or for extencing the area of their dominion, but for the purpose of averting the overthrow of civil and religious liberty throughout Europe.

.At the beginning of the past year, and for some time before |

it, the prospects of the Allies in the Crimea were such as to lead t> tho gloomiest anticipations: a brave army, raised at

incredible sacrifiee to the nation, and supplied with the mate-

riel of war with a liberality never before surpassod, was seen

indeed, it presents many painful subjects for contemplation ; and who is there, whether moralist or not, who cannot mourn over the fearful havoe which war has made in the domestic circle during the year just passed away? The pride and glory of many an honoured house—the treasure of many a trusting and humble heart—-the idol of the doating parent—the fond protector of the trembling wife and helpless children—now sleeping their last sleep, in indiscriminate confusion, on the shores of the Euxine—will long enwrap with 5 srrowful associ-

ations the memory of Eighteen Hundred and Fifty Five.

year suggests—let us ask how the past twelye mouths have fared with us in gur Island home? No pestilence has visited

our shores, and suddenly decimated our popnlation—ne cala-

from comfort or affluence to want and destitation. Other ‘countries have not been so abundantly blessed in_ these re- spects. Famine and pestilence, calamitous fires, and earth-

quakes, have passed with devastating stride over other portions

been benificently vyouchsafed to all our people. The earth has

generously given a bountiful return for the seeds entrusted to |

it, and Commerce bas been busy in carrying to libera{ and

highly remunerative markets our superabundant products. |

Every branch of trade and industry has flourished to an extent we did not anticipate at the beginning of the year; and this

is fully demonstrated by the fact, that the public revenue for | the past year will nearly equal—(perhaps will not fall more than twoor three thousand pounds short)—of that of the pre-

vious year,when,with a reduced tariff, we realized the very large sum of forty-six thousand pounds; but ship-building, an im-

portant branch of our trade, was in much greater activity then
