The New Orleans Bulletin states that Lord Paulet raised the British flag on the 26th of February last, iii honour of ,the annexation oftbe kingdom to the British empire, and on the same day notiﬁed the Consul ofltlie United States that he could no Iongcrexerciso his oﬂ’tcial functions without

This occupation of the Sandwich Islands shows how promptly the British Government acts in a case where the

fights of her subjects are inVaded, or are thought to be in-

“ﬁm’vaded. In some aspects it resembles our Com. Jones' pro- ceedings at iIoiiterey, but now having a hold upon these Islands, we fear England will not readily let govhcr grasp upon them. i »

The Sandwich Islands, in many respects, are the most im- portaotond interesting group in all Polynesia. They contain about 200,000 inhabitants, rapidly perfectng in the peace- able arts of civilization, and having schools, churches and missionary, cs‘tablisliinents in every part, planted and sup- plied almost entircly from the United States. They are sit'n-

, an”; immediately upon the great maritime highway which divides thetliree principal divisions of the earth; they abound in good harbours, and are the constant resort'oftlie ﬁshermen of this and other countries, and of commerce generally in those distant seas, for supplies, for safety, and for rest.

vther more nor less than to render the people, by means ofa

Jury, the blind instruments oftlieir own slavery, by extin- guishing the small freedom of the press which yet remains to its, by making it criminal to pass an opinion upon the conduct of the public servants in Charlottetown, and by prostrating the opposition in the House of Assembly to the will and pleasure of a Lieutenant Governor—I beg to append the Resolution in a postscript, in order that you may annex it to this letter, should you now feel yourself safe in- doing so-ifnot, omit it.

If any person doan the existence ofa cunnineg devised scheme, such as I have stated, I shall refer him to the “ dis- loyal suggestions,” and to those persons—ignesfalui—men ofstruw—who are iiotknown to exist but in the Gov’s. fer—

itile imagination, and are imposineg paraded as “leading

the people to violence and crime,” in the reply to that soli- tary address which stands iii high and uncnviable relief from "5‘ loneliness, presented by “the three wise men of Gotham,” in the curly part oflast April—to the some cuckom note, ﬁll‘llck,‘\\ltll a sprinkling of profanity, in the speech at

to prejudice the public against the person selected for pro- secution, in a way, by-the-bye, which his privilege does not protect—and to Mr. Iloll’s speech, wherein he trusts “that measures will be adopted to prevent” the Assembly from inves- tigating the cause of popular excitement in future!!!

The history ofiiiy Connexion with the nﬂ’air is as follovi's: Accotiipanyiiig a Petition to the House anssembly,’ all the Resolutions passed at the New London meeting were copied oii a sheet of paper, and sent to my Parliamentary colleague, George Coles, Esq. and me, with a request that we would present the former to the House, and hand the latter over to the Newspapers. for publication, agreeably to a Resolution to tluiteﬂ'ect. Emunating from what is more particularly considered my end oftbe district, I, of coume,‘ undertook the affair, as in duty bound, leaving it optional to the printer to omit the publication ol‘any of the Resolu- tions be disapproved of. They only appeared in the Islander, and the one in question was refused insertion. Yet, in de- fiance alike of common sense, common English, and com- mon justice, this prosecution has been commenced, because it has pleased certain parties to allege that I “ published, and

vernmeht oftliose Islands. 'I‘lirough the same channel we are furnished with news from China, a few days later tbuii previous advices, uiid also with some particulars of another insurrection among the negroes in the vicinity ofSi. Jago de Cuba, in which many lives are said to have been sacri— ficed, and much valuable property destroyed. ' '

Our snug little Island, we are happy to perceive, is begin- ning to attract no small share of attention, both iii the Mo- ther Country and iii the neighbouring Colonies, the result of which, we have every reason to believe, will prove highly beneficial to this Colony. The .N’ovascalinn and Times, pub- lislicd in Halifax, the Pit-ton .Ilerlmnic 8,“ Furnwr, the Mira- niichi Gleaner, Neilsoii’s Quebec Guzelle,tl)e Montreal Herald, ard several other Colonial Newspapers, have of late taken an unwonted interest in our affairs, by means of which the civil and political aspect ofufliiirs in this Island will obtain a much grcatcrdegrce ofnotoriety than cotild possibly be given to these subjects by our own unaided efforts. The Editor oftlie .3 eclumic&' Farmer, an excellent agricultural paper, which, by the way, We cannot help warmly reconiiiieniling to all who can afford to subscribe for it, lately visited Charlottetown, Souris, &c., and on his return, published a somewhat lengthy account of his pcregrinatious, Ligth ﬂattering—though we by no means think too much so—to this Colony and its inlin- bitaiits. Mr. Nugent, the Editor and proprietor oftlie N‘ava- scolirm, is now here, and We have no doubt will, on his return to Halifax, favor the World with the result of his inquiries and observations. From this gentlciiiau’s welbknown ability, and from the fearless and uncomproniisiug character oftlie Journal under his management and coutronl, we anticipate a clear and distinct exposure of our political :tﬁ'airs, including, ofcourse, a luminous exhibition ofall thOse abuses under which we labour, in common with at least soiiie ofthe other Colonies ofBritisli North America. As, however, it gette- rally proves a much easier task to find fault Willi than to mend matters oftliis nature, we trust Mr. Nngcnt will not forget or neglect to point out, in a manner Suited to the ca- pacities ofall, how those evils are to be effectually remedied in future; otherwise we may possibly be led to conclude that the misery and wretchedncss ofourcase are only aggravat- eil tenfold by his interference, and that there still is, Vmalgré all that has been said to the contrary, some truth iii the as- sertion, that—

Sta ;—Allow me to point out a circumstance which strikes a stranger most forcibly and most painfully in the firming economy ofthc l'ower classes in this Island, which, if not altered, will prevent the farmer (however industrious and frugal) fronipbtainiiig that independence and comfort which ought to be his reward, in a country so well adapted by na- ture as this is to support a rich and thriving yeomanry. What I allude to is, the fatal and ériiel errorwhich the small tiiruicrs fall into, that of keeping more cattle than they have food for; and then they wonder that their cows give only a pitit or two efmilk, and that their calves are not much larger than cats—that their horses are sickly and small—that their sheep are always degenerating—and their swine (which are ravenous for want of food, and are let loose to prey upon their neighbours, and to act as the scavengers of the country) have ﬂesh of such it soft and ﬂaccid nature, that it is totally unfit to make bacon of; for the farmer’s own use, or to salt for- exportation.

Now, Sir, the wonder would be, if any other results fol- lowed than those above enumerated; forI know, from actual observation and inquiry, that many who have not fodder for one cow, keep two or three, and other stock in proportion, so that in the spring it is quite common for the cows to be tumble to rise alter lying down withoutassistitnce; the cows reduced to this state of debility (infrequently iii cal/Z Such cruelty to cattle in England would be punished by the law.

Ifu contrary practice were 'followed, 1 am very sure that in this fine agizicnltural Island the stock, ifwell fed and Well housed, would improve—not degenerate—and the farmer Would ﬁnd one cow for more proﬁtabletban three on the present plan. I have a cow, which, having been well fed and Well housed the previous winter, gave nine quarts ofmilk all last summer, and having been treated in the same manner last winter, she now gives the same quantity, IIIIGMDI'OIIIICIIIg a culfwliich is the admiration ofthe country people.

An", the further to say, that in my opinion It'll an injury, instead ofa benefit, to the owners, allowing swaio to run at liberty; for I believe it to be owing to the swarms oftbese mar-u- ders that the cottagers never venture to have a garden, a they invariably have in England, and which not only sin. that air ofcomfort which is totally absent here, but pm,

duces a very large proportion of the English cottager’s In.-

tena‘nce for himself, his cow and his pig, causing his cow to A daily, and' his pig, being well fed, in a cleaa'stye, to produce the ﬁnest bacon in the world, which,‘ of course, always finds a ready market. 'I he um. plan will produce the some effects here ; but the ﬁrst stop. is to shut the pigs up in clean sues, and keep them from eatingﬁllh; the next is to keep no more than can , fed of any kind or stock; the third is, to keep a VIgII'M‘l eye, to see that the stock never manure any

Sir; Something after the species ofa wonder seems to have arisen in the minds of the people of" Chorlmtetcwn, as to the mode which is likely to be adopted for'tbc future government of the Central Academy—some weeks have- now elapsed since the new act was made, and not: word appears to be said about it—iio advertisement appearing for masters—no notice concerning the ﬁrm footing, the euro ground upon which .it is to be placed; the absolute succen that must attend the working of the now—inuch-talked’ about, infallible Bill which was passed during the Inst sea-- sion. Is it to be considered that the Act has fallen into ob— livion, never more to be seen—nor thought of? Is the establishment to continue in its present uncertain, unproﬁt- able condition ? Are the present Teachers to have no no- tice about quitting, or are they to be continued, and a third or head toaster obtained, or is the whole affair to be settled clatidestiuely, without the knowledge oftlie public? Are. we shortly to be apprized ofthe alteration, by advertisement! in all three papers, ofthe wonderful innovation made upon the Central Academy of this Town ?——and when we shall, see by them, that the fees are so low! education so cﬂicicnt'. and hitherto unparalleled iii this 'Island, that none but classical scholars (?) will make their appearance on the stag. of action. The time is drawing nigh when the law is 03,-- pected to be put into operation ; much has to be done pre— viously ; additional Trustees to be appointed—masters to b. selected, either through advertising or by private arrange— "tents—and, in fact, many thoughts will voluntarily arise in the minds oftbosc that may be chosen as overseen: of tilt school, who will, of course, guarantee the better management. ' of it. "; '

It is to be hoped that a choice will be made ofsuch new as have not only the educational progress ofthc pupils or heart, btit also the sound principles ofrnorahty, cmubiuel‘ -with every sentiment (sectarianisin excepted) that shall it“ the minds of the scholars to soar above the triﬂing time and sense; men who are renowned, not only for "id?!" possession ofa large fund ofknowledge,‘ but who stand high. 'for sobriety and strict integrity, accompanied with dili- gence und~tulcul. Perhaps it may not be out of place just. to hint, for the consideration of those that may be called. upon to select: Teachers for the Academy, to embrace tho~ opportunity that they have of placing the establishment on a permanent basispat the commencement of the rcvisa' which is to take place, by commencing to select in tho

the public satisfaction generally, as regards sobriety,. talent, diligence, &c. By so doing, the Academy win be furnished with tried and approved masters, and with: their scholars, who, of course, would naturally follow them. Masters are in the Town with their thirties, forties and fillies, and appear to be very successbe in imparting know.- leilgc. _ , ~ - ' The public, who send their children to the Town masters; are the bestjutlges whether or not their rising ones imprb’ve, and what can he wanted more than to choose such as give» cause for general approbation ? and who, it may be asked, has more right to the public money than those that deserve it? Talk about sending home Ior a master! Is it no!

one ofﬁce ofimplanting iii the minds ofthc young the al.- mentary principles ofeilucation, especially when it is known the knowledge oftlie masters is not herelimited? lfa con- trary plan be adopted, no reason can be given for securing a large attendance at the Academy ; because it is not to be _ supposed that, for the paltry difference of2s. 6d,, in mine cases, and in others 3s. 9d,, that the parents will remov. their children from those with whom they hsvo been for a long time, and run a risk ofthe new masters pleasing as well as those that are within reach; thediﬁ'crcnce which is spoken of, is iii the value of time that the Academy has for Vacations, in comparison with other schools.
