ALEXANDER Hayvpegn, Esq., requests us to state that in the matter of Roderick Ross, committed on a charge of burglary, he did not try the case at all; but simply sent him to jail to await an investigation before the Grand Jury on Monday last at one o'clock. The prosecutor and witnesses failed to appear ac- ording to promise, and the Judge accordingly gave an orcer for the release of the prisoner.

Sr. Pavi’s Cucres Assoctation.—Next meeting, to-morrow (Friday) evening, at 8 o'clock. Lecturer, Dr. Leeming. His sub- ject, ‘‘The introduction of Christianity into Great Britain,” (a very interesting one, by the way), will call forth much learning and research into times almost pre-historic in Britain, at all events, and probably pre- Augustiue in Church History. Entrance free, and discussion open to all members.

It gives us pleasure to learn that the num- ber of pupils attending Prince of Wales Col- lege and Normal school has so greatly in- creased that the employment of an additional Professor is rendered necessary ; and it adds to our pleasure to hear that our worthy young friend, Mr. Thomas LePage, has been selected to fill the offce. Of Mr. LePage’s scholar- ship there is no doubt. We believe that asa teacher he has few superiors on the Island. And we are quite sure that Mr. LePage has too much good taste and good sense to degrade the position by meddling with politics and personalities.

Tus Xmas examination of the students at- tending McGill College has taken place, and a list of the names of the students who have carrried off honors has just been printed, and a copy of it mailed tous. It gives us much satisfaction to see the names of two of our Island young men stand prominently out amongst the successful competitors. We netice the name of Mr. Willison Brown, son of Ambrose Brown, Esg., of this town, as having carried off the prizes in the fol- lowing subjects:--Greek, Latin, English Literature, French, German, Methematics and Chemistry. This is only Mr. Brown’s first year at McGil! College, and the result he has made reflects yreat credit. For those who are in their third year we also notice the name of Mr. William Weeks, son of William Weeks, Esq., as having carried off prizes in the following branches: Greek, Latin, Mental and Moral Philosophy, Mathematical Physics, Experimental Physics. Both of these young

entlemen were students of the Prince of

Vales. Of their success while at College we have no doubt, and it will give us much pleasure from time to time to notice their success. — Herald.

Mitchell vs. Bowwers.— Yesterday evening, Mr. Warburton for Bowers, reviewed the whole evidence, the weight of which he con- tended was in favor of his client. fs Mr. Arthur Peters, this morning, delivered

very eloquent address, which mightily amus- ed those present in the Court. One point which Mr. Peters argued with acceptance was as to who could fairly be charged as the crea- tor of J. J. O'Reilly. He declined to hold the

_Almighty responsible for sueh a grave error,

and inclined to the opinion that his pedigree could be traced to ‘‘ the other member of Par- liament.”’

Judge Hensley began his charge to the Jury at a quarter to two and finished at four p. m., after which they retired and are still out.

STOGK-TAKING.

7 K hereby inform the pub- lic of this city, and the Island generally, that previous to Stock-taking, we have. re- solved to clear out as much of our Winter Stock as possible. We are aware that at this season it is hard to get people to buy even at reduced prices; but in the face of this difficulty we have made.up our inind to adopt full measures, and sell our Wool Goods and Dress Goods at a sacrifice. Our Goods have been very

trade we have had fully testifies. Our store has become the resort of those Ladies who know how tomake a penny go a long way, and who know a cheap article when they see it; and when we say we are going to reduce the prices of our Dress Goods and Trimmings, we know we shall be believed. We are particul- arly anxious to clear out our present Stock, in order to intro- duce as much of the newest style of Dress Material as possible, and at the very lowest prices. We shall make special prices on Black Cashmeres, Black Meri- nos, Black Cords sand Lustres, Lustrines and Brilliantines. Our Faney Wool Goods will be sold at less than cost. Our Stock of this class was the larg- est, most select, and finest in the city, and the remains of it will be sold at a great sacrifice. Blankets, Quits, Horse Rugs, &e., will be cleared out a great

Bargains.

We make no apology to the Tea-drinking public for drawing their attention to our fine

‘flavored and rich Teas, 32, 56,

and 40 cents per lb. They are receiving the highest praise, and those who use them, strongly recommend them to others. Our trade in this article is growing rapidly. Tea appeals to the most subtile of the senses, and as the proof of the pudding is in the eating, so the proof of ithe Tea is in the drinking. Friends, try it.
