tain- no news of any importance. '

His Excellency the Governor General returned to Halifax, from his visit to New Brunswick, on Satur- day last, and on Tuesday, his Excellency took his departure from Halifax, in the-Steamér Unicom, for Quebec—at which place we have no doubt he has safely arrived.

BELFAST, June 30th.—-—The With, a new ship of 1,000 tons, built at Ramsay, Isle of Man, will shortly convey a number of Lord M‘Donald’s tenantry from the western isles of Scotland to Cape Breton and Prince Edward Island—Northern Whig.

By the last English Mail, Mandamuses were re- ceived, appointing John Myrie Holl and James Hots- *field Peters, Esqrs. to seats in the Legislative Coun- cil of this Island. This does not look much like annexation. '

It is also announced, that Thomas Heath Havi- land, jun., Esq. has been appointed Provost Marshal .of this Island, in the room of his father, resigned.

CANCER.

To the Editor qf' flu: Colonial Hergld.

Sm ;—Under the impression that any hint which may have a tendency to alleviate the sufferings of our fellow creatures, will not be excluded from your paper, I am induced to forward the following sug- gestions, for insertion. -

Perusing a Medical Joxu'nal, published in Dublin, and observing the mode of treatment made use of in that city by the most celebrated physicians, for the cure of that baneful and destructive disease called Cancer; and as their treatment is perfectly in ac- cordance with my own ideas on that malignant complaint, I am desirous ofgiving it publicity in the Island, being aware that'Cancer has of' late been very far from being uncommon here, and trusting that it may prove of some service to the unhappy persons labouring under that too fatal calamity.

“ CARCINOMA is a true animal fungus, or parasitical production, affording, in its origin and . growth, a strong analogy to the vegetable fungus which springs from the bark or leaves of trees and plants, and be- ing, in both kingdoms, no further connected with the living body in which it is placed than as it derives its proper nourishment—which last it assimilatesby its own innate powers, and not by any continuation of vessels from the one to the other.”

I find in the above publication that the oxide of iron v is the most popular as Well as effective cure for Can- .cer, and has been incontestibly proved to be the most efficacious remedy yet discovered in the annals of .medicine ; and if not absolutely the same specific, is

deservedly held to be little inferior to the secret

remedy or the celebrated PETROS ALLio'r, a man of great medical and chemical knowledge, who was known to recover a woman of tank from Cancer, which had eaten awav, in a dreadful manner, her left breast. “He daily sprinkled the New with a certain powder, the components of which he never disclosed.‘ In about an hour after the application, a degree of excitement ensued, which, however, soon ceased, and left the patient at case. By a perseve— mince in the use of the powder for six weeks, the lips ,of the wound changed from a livid to a reddish co- lour, and the watery ichorinto a healthy concocted matter, after which, the wound quickly healed.” ’These are the words of a person who relates the transaction, not from hearsay, but from the evidence of his own eyes; and it deservesitlie more credit, as he was deeply skilled in medicine and chemistry, and was no less than the celebrated PLAus Bonni- 011105. The cure made much noise at Paris, and was considered rather amiracle than an ordinary ,occurrence. The identit of these remedies is con- jecture—the similarity 0 their beneficial effects is "not; and, as R. COMMICHALL says, “one has been dost to the world by the selfishness of the discoverer, . diut selfishness shall never deprive the community of ~whatever advantage my humble efforts are capable pfafi‘ording.” I , I am, 811‘, Yours, Sec. , JOHN E. CRAFER, ~ Health Oficer of Richmond Bay. 'July 21, 1840.

The Supreme Court for King’s County com- menced its sittings at Georgetown on Tuesday the 215i nlt. At/the beginning oftbe term there was a great show 0f bUSerssibul the trial ofa,number ofcases was post-

'ned on various grounds. After the usual formalities

ad been gone through, his 'Lordsliip the Chief Justice char ed' the Grand Jury, the foreman of which was William S. angowan, Esq. His Lordship said that he was happy to in arm them their labours this term would be III lit—that there were only a few cases to bebrought

' to their notice—two or three lurcenies, and one case ofa much more serious nature, viz: a riot in resisting the authority of officers bound to keep the peace—that this

63

, . . . , lust ,pfi‘e‘nco was one, he acted to say, peculiurfd King‘s Lonnty; fiir, during 1 9 two last terms in Prince and in Queen's Counties, no such crime had been brought to the notice ofthe Court; and wh there should two cases for a similar offence in I ing's County, during one term, he could not conceive—that it was a‘ crime which the strong nrm“'of the law must nip in the bud—that individuals who were so hurdv and reckless as to resist those .who were bound to put the laws'i‘u “we, 5,, as to Prevent them from the fiilfilment of their duty, must be, after conviction, punished with some severity, so as to shew the Country that the laws must be old, and that its officers must be protected—there was one thing, however, be must add, that although there appeared to be a number of persons in King’s County, determined to resist ihe’low. yet'in no instance have either a grand or a petit jury swerved from their respeclivn duties and protected those who were evidently guilty—-lliat solong as grand and pelitjuries Wnuld thus imminue In do their duty unflinchingly, and by virtue of their oaths, no danger was to be apprehended to the

country; ,_ HIS, ordship thenenlered into an explanation ofthe generuldtiuesof grqu jurors, and remarked upon the

Act filming to Incomes for retailing strong and‘spiritu-

j ous'Jiquors; and called their attention to the fact. that

only three persons had taken out Licenses in King’s County, whe‘reas it'inust be well known, that many more ore'in the habit of selling liquors, and it must therefin'é be without license—that it is their duty, and it could not be placed in better hands, to inquire into these facts, to hear evidence thereon, and to present to the Court any persons who may have acted, or who may continue to M, in violation of this law. His Lordship cuticluded saying. that if they should have any matters to present to the Conrt he would at once attend todllem. Tuesday was occupied with ordinary motions. On Wednesday, a civil suit, brought for defamation of character, was tried—Mr. E. Palmerund Mr. Young were for the plaintiff, and the Attorney and Solicitor Gene- ruls for the defendant. Mr. Young opened the case to tbejury. and proceeded to call his evidence. The At- ,tornoy General addressed the jury on the part of the defendants, but did not produce any witnesses. The jury found a verdict. for the plaintiff, damages £5. A rule nisi was subsequently obtained in this cause by the Attorney General fbr the defendants, to arrest the judgment, on the ground that an action could not be sustained against two defiendams for verbal slander, where ujoinpgerdict had been taken, us in this case.

On Thursday. the case oflhe Queen. against William Douglas and oiliers, for a riot, and for assaulting the Sheriff in the execution of his duty, was tried; the Attorney and Solicitor Generhls conducted the _ case on the part oflbe Crown, and Messrs. Binns and Young appeared for the Truverseqs. The Solicitor General opened the case on the part of the pl'oseculor,'nnd Mr. Young addressed the jury on the part oftbe defence, without calling witnesses—the Attorney General closed the case—the jury retired, and in about an hour returned, and found William Douglas, James Howletl and Wil- liam Blacket guilty of a riot—John CofIin,Jobn Hewlett and John M‘Kie guilty of a riot and an assault, and Thomas W'allis not guilty.

A woman was tried on the same day for receiving stolen goods, and was acquitted.

On Friday, Mr. Young, on the part of the traversers, who were convicted on the day before, addressed the Court, and read a Certificate, respectulily signed, on behalf ofJohn M‘Kie, and several affidavits, in mitiga- tion of their sentences. He said that the truversers were sorry for the part they had tnken'in the late riot, that this was their first offence, that they promised never to be engaged again in one of a similar nature, and prayed that the mercy oftbe Court wouldbe extended towards them. His Lordship the CliiefJustice then addressed them in a very feeling and impressive manner,said that be was glad they now saw the error and crime which they had committed in a proper light. and somermcd them as follows :—-

James Howlett and William Blocket, to a fine offlo each, with four months' iinprlsonment; John Hewlett, to a fine of£20,snd SIX montlis' imprisonment,aud each of them to be imprisoned until the fines are paid. John Collin, to ten months', \Villiam Douglas, to eight months’, and John M‘Kie, to four months’ imprison- ment, and to be then discharged. Duringtlie term,there were some appeals heard, and some summary cases tried, and agond deal ofrootinc business.

The Grand Jury found several Bills of Indictment, and some persons guilty ofselling liquors without licen- ses. ‘

The Term was concluded on Friday evening—Griz.

Drowned 011 Friday the 17th instant, at Buy For- tune, at the foot of his father‘s farm, where he had. been reared from childhood, Mr. Benjamin Coffin. The un- fortunate decezised had. left his wife at a neighbouring farm, and was awaiting her return. He went into the water for the purpos ifbulhing, and got into a hple near the shore, about 7 u .t deep, on a marsh, which had been made by driving stakes in making a fence. For miles along the shore there was nothing but a continued flat, and not another bole to be seen. He was found about an hour afterwards, his face being very much brui- sed, caused in his struggle by coming in contact with a piece of stick in the hole where he perished. He was interred the Sunday following—1b.

' ~ The-Life Medicines recommend themsehesin diseases of every flirmsnd description. The fist operation is to loosen from the coats of the stomach and bowels the various impurities and crudities constantly settling around them; and to remove the hardened fumes which collect in the convolutions of the small intestines.
