MR. LAWSON’S

OCTOBER 5,1 1850.

SECOND LETTER. Wee intimated an intention to notice. at some jengtli,a jetter published by Mr. Lawson inthe Gazelfe of the 24th ult. addressed

Advertt- ser,” but ite observations having reference

*to the editor of the eatirely tothe editor of the Examiner, wé euppose that the author or printer was {00 stupid to discover the mistake. Ona second perusal of this marvellous produc- tion, however—(and we think it would be difficult to find in the whole range of En- giish compesition anything which less deserved a second reading)—we discover nothing worthy of particular notice. We charged Mr —Wwith a disposition to change Lis opin- rons of political men, when change suited hig convenience. We proved the charge, and he himself confirmed it. We there- fore feel ourselves to be ina position similar to that once held by an eminent Barrister, who was expected to make a flaming speech on the trial of a notorious delinquent, whose guilt it was thought he would establish heyond the possibility of doubt, but who disappointed the expecta- tions of the crowd that panted for a dis- jay, by quietly telling the Court and Jury that the Counsei for the defence had so einducted his case as to prove the guilt rather than the innocence of the accused, and that it was quite unnecessary for him either to address the Jury or to call evi- dence.

Mr. Lawson raises the pica in mitiga- tion of his offence, that whilst he was editor of the Review, he was not pledged to aay particular line of politics, and that he ought to have been allowed the privi- lege, therefore, of pinning his faith to one

party to-day and to another one to-morrow, according as he should think which was in the right, and which was in the wrong. This is the sterotyped excuse of your ‘“foose fish:” they swim with the current, and any schoo! which affords the best bait and the best company is always the best to tliem.

But Mr. Lawson intimates that he of- féred his advice to the Liberal party when, Fast Spring, they resolved upon stopping the Supplies, and that ifhe had been fenoured with their confidence, he wou! J have willingly shared their triumph or their defeat, though his advice might not liave been acted upon. It would appear, then, from this intimation, that Mr. Law- son is actuated by private pique and jea- lansy, and not by public principle, ia now opposing the views of the Liberal party. He would have joined with them had they admitted him into their counsels; as they did not, he is determined to be op- posed tothem! An intimation such as this ig quite sufficient to shew that Mr. Lawaon is a person who might prove an

ir being evidently the intention of the Lieutenant Governor—(we were going to write “ Government,” but it is matter for doubt whether, properly speaking, there ia any such thing as a Government in ex- istence here)—to set aside the Legisla- live institutions of the country, and to rule [ler Majesty’s of her dominions after the fashion of a

suvjects in

Highland Laird—it becomes the duty of consider wiiat course it is best for them to pursue under

our fellow colonists to

the extraordinary circumstences in which they are placed.

It was only reasonable to expect that His Excelleney would take some consi- derable time to make his communications to England after the prorogation of the Legislature in May last, but it is absurd to suppose that he has not, er could not have, completed all the necessary correspon- deace long ere this. Indeed there can be no doubt that his Excellency is in possession of Her Mejesty’s decision on the question at issue between the Assem- bly and the Governor, and that he delays communicating it to the public, in order that the country may suffer from the con- tinued want of its usual legislation, and thereby afford gratification to the resent- ment which he harbours against the Peo- ple’s Representatives ; and in order, like- wise, that the present holders of office, to whom he has blindly and unscrupu- lously lent himseif, inay continue in the enjoyment of the profits of place after they have Jost the honour. Itoccurs to us, therefore, that it would be advisable for the people to meet in their several Fiectoral Districts, and decide upon sending a respectful remonstrance to the Throne, to inform Her Majesty of the conduct of her Representative towards her people in this Colony, and to point out—apart from His Excellency’s past administration of the public afairs—that his long-continued and increasing bodily infirmity (which, there is reason to appre- hend, lias not left his intellect untouck- ed) renders him incapable of carrying on the Government of the Colony. Itis well known that at the present time there are some important Chancery cases waiting for his Excellency’s adjudication, and that the postponement of these cases from time to time is of serious detriment to some of the parties concerned. We fee; assured that if Her Majesty's Ministers were made aware of his Excellency’s con- dition, and of the fact of two of the prin- cipal officers of bis Government having absconded from the Colony within a few weeks of each other, he would be imme- diately called upon to retire from a posi- tion which nature and habit has unfitted tum to occupy, and in which he meets with less regard, less confidence, and Jess re- spect than any of hie predecessors.

Previously to the Steamer’s leaving Pictou on Thursday a teleeraphic des- nicating the arrival of the Royal Mail Steamer that morning at 9 o’clock. We shall bave the Mai) for this Island to- morrow evening. Mr. Daniel Davies, Mr. Douse, Mr. Wightman, of Three Ri- vers, and Mr. Clow, of Murray Harbour, we have learned from the same despatch, came passengers in the steamer from England.

News by the Pacific!

The steamship Pacific arrived at New York on Saturday evening last, in ten days and five hours from Liverpool, being the shortest passage yet made! We se- lect the following items of news from pa- pers brought by her :—

The Manchester trade report of the 10this the most unsatisfactory that has been made for several weeks—ncedy manufacturers having in some cases ac- cepted terms which, with cotton and yarns at present prices, are ruinously low. The general tendency in all de- partments are a downward one. A shilling per Jb., it is stated, is offered for shirtings aud printings, the yarn for which to-day would cost 11d,—The Ger- man and Russian merchants, in conse- quence of the late re-action, are operating with great caution and show less confidence than they did in/the main- tenance of prices; the market, upon the whole, does not show any symptoms of improvement.

The Russian fleet has formed a line across the bay of Kiel with some Danish men of war, to prevent any of the Hol- stein gun-boats and steamers from their present anchorage. This is regarded as an act of more direcct intervention than has hitherto been assumed by the Russian Admiral.

Gen. Haynau.—After the rescue of this noted character by the police, he was confined to bed at his hotel during the day. On Friday he was visited by a number of the Austrian nobles and others resident in London; and inorder to avoid the recurrence of display of feeling simi- lar to what too: place at Perkins & Co’s brewery, trrangements were made for his quitting England, and in the course of Friday night he took his de- parture.

It fas been mentioned that the firm of Barclay & Perkins had suspended the whole of the hands employed in their establishment. Such, however, is not the case. Although the firm greatly regret- ted the occurrenee, they did not see that any good would result vy their adopting euch a course. And in order that the excitement may be allayed in every pos. sible manner, the signature of “ Genera! Haynan,” in the visitors’ book has been obliterated, much to the satisfaction of the whole staff. Jt is almost certain that no further explanation will be afforded on

the subject.

News by the Niagara!

The R. M. steamship Miagera arrived at New York on the 27th ult. The Ha- lifax Morning Chronicle takes the follow-

ing items froma Boston paper of the 28th VIL, s—

George Hamilton, British Minister at orence, died on the 3rd.

The Berlin Cabinet have resolved not to allow Austrian troops to interfere in ilectoral Hesse. A state of seige has been proclaimed there, and several news- papers were seized.

Among the passengers in the peer are hir. Prescott and Son, and Mr. G. 1 Curtis, of Boston.

Denmark anp THE Doucwutes.—The Cologne Gazetie of the 10ih, had a tele- graphic despatch from Altona of the 9th, stating that some skirmishing took place on the previous day. the out-posts, the left wing of the Hols- teiners, foot and Ist regiment were driven back upon Siudarstapel, but being reinforced by another detachment, they advanced again and foreed the Danes back upon the french. Fifty-eight captured Danes were brought to Rendsborengh, and the wounded of the Ist regiment of the line, in wagons to Heide.—The centre of the Holstein army has advanced to Jagel, near Schleswig and Breckendroff. git appears from Dresden letters of the Sth inst., that Austria, and those German governinents which stand on her side, are preparing to interfere in the Duchies. The Bavarian government had issued a decree prohibiting subscriptions and col- lections in aid of the Schleswig Holstein cause.

FROM WEST INDIES

It is stated in St. Lucia Palladium of 16th August, on the authority of minor, that “ Soloque,” or * Faustin Premier,” of Hayvti, has been assassinaied by his Prime Minister.

Saint Lucia continued tobe deinged With rain, accompanied at times with high winds. As the manufacturing process had closed on nearly all the sugar estates, the planters were not so much ‘inconve- niencod by the weather as they otherwise would have béen. We hear good accounts of the young cotton plants, put in as an experiment in different places. The crop of sugar is estimated at 1500 hogsheads less than last year.

UNITED STATES.

A movement has been made by some Englishmen in New York, towards raie- ing asum of money for the purpose of making a complimentary present to, the Operatives employed in the Browery of Barclay, Perkins & o., London, asa testimonial of approval for the reception siven to General Haynau. Jenny Lind’s sixth and last cencert for the present at New York, on Tuesday evening was at- tended by 9000 persons. She would arrive in Boston on Thursday, and give her first concert there in the Tremont Temple on Friday evening. The sale of tickets for the choice of seats took place on Wednesday.—The first choice of a single seat was yurchased, a good deal of competition, by E. O. Dodge, vocalist, for $265; the second by Mr. Hale, artist, for $24. Among the bidders for the choice seat, we notice the name of Mr. Fetridge; bookseller, who offered $425 and his hat!—The gross proceeds of the sale, it was expected, would amount to $16,600.
