.iiiz Lars Loan Anonrnus Fl'l‘ZcLA- saacs.—Lord Adol hus Fitzclarence, who died on the night 0 the 17th inst., was the son of-his late Majesty King William IV., by Mrs. Dorothy Jordan, the celebrated actress. He was born in i802, and, like his royal father, entered the navy at a very early age. In that service he rose by seni- ority, and had attained at the time of his death the rank of Rear-Admiral. He also held the honorable distinction of a Knight Grand Cross of Hanover, and the appoint- ments of a Naval Aide-de-Camp to er present Majesty, and Ranger of the Home orest, at Windsor. He was well known in the leading circles of fashion, and lived and died unmarried. His death was occa- sioned by a return of the seizure whic attacked him last winter when in London, and which at that time it ivas thought would have proved fatal. His death took place while on a visit to Sir George Womb- well, at Newburgh-park, in Yorkshire. The eldest of the Fitzclarence family was the late Earl of Munster, better known as Colonel Fitzclarence, for the gallant part which he took in suppressing the Cato- street conspiracy. The second brother was the late Lord Frederick Fitzcliirence, who died about two years ago, while in com- mand of the forces at Bombay. The youngest brother, Lord Augustus, was many years rector of Mapledurham, near Reading, and died in 1854. Of his lord- ship's sisters, one is Viscountess Falkland, another married General C. R. Fox, and a third is Lady Augusta Kennedy Erskine. The two others who are deceased, were married respectively to the late Earl of Erroll and the late Lord De L’Isle. It may not be uninteresting to add that soon after the accession of King William IV. such of the Fitzclarence family as had not already attained a higher rank by marriage were elevated, under the si ti manual of his Majesty, to the precedency of the younger children of a marquis.

Annasss to Ms. Causr'rou.—In accor- dance with a requisition from several of the citizens, a meeting was called by the Mayor at Teni eraiice Hall, on the after- loon of Thu

ay last, to consider the ro- priety of resenting an address to His x- -cellcnc F. Crampton upon his arrival at Halifax. His Worship the Mayor was

called to the chair, and Robert Motton Esq. appointed Secretary. Speeches, at consi- derable length, were made by the Honbles. Joseph Howe, L M. Wilkins, and others. The former gentleman, in dwelling upon the Foreign Enlistment dispute, met with frequent and angry interruptions from per- sons who did not much admire the part which he had himself taken in that business. Remarks were made by r. Samuel Car- ton, Mr. Thomas Cunningham, and others supposed to represent the Irish interests, reflecting upon the disposition which he showed towards their countrymen. The recent railway riot between the Irish and others, was logged into the controvers, along with much angry rccrimination; and at one time the meeting threatened to be a stormy one. At length a Resolution that an address be presented to Mr. Crampton expressive of the high sense entertained by the meeting of the manner in which he had performed his diplomatic duties at Wash- ington was moved by Pryor, Esq , seconded by P. Lynch, Esq., and passed sum com; and a committee was named to prepare the address. The address was pre- pared, submitted, and also passed unani- mously. A Resolution was then moved by J. W. Ritchie, Esq., seconded by W. B. Flirbllllls. Esq., and unanimously passed, that an address be presented to the 62nd and 03d Regiments expressive of welcome to our shores, and of grateful a preciation of the valor and fortitude which have recently distinguished them, the address to be resented on the 9th of June. he Canada, with Mr. Crampton on board, reached the harbour about I2 s’clock, midnight, and came to anchor a little below George's Island, the alleged reason being, that the fog was too thick for her to proceed further. The committee appointed to present the Address consisted of the Mayor and Alderman, the County and township representatives, and the

members of Government. All night these gentlemen were “on hand;" and, as the steamer’s arrival was known, quite a crowd spent the night on Cunard’s wharf, but the Canada did not reach that point until 7 in the morning. Mr. Crampton was brought ashore in a boat about 2 o'clock; and at half-past sever; the address was presented to him, in the Council Chamber, in pre- sence of His Excellency the Lieut Gover- nor and a respectable assemblage of Citi- zens. He made a formal and appropriate reply. Mr. Crampton proceeded to Eng- land in the'Canada. Mr. Barclay, the _dis- missed British Consul of New York, is a passenger in the same steamer. The other two dismissed Consuls, Messrs. Matthew and Rowcrofl, are still in the United States.-—./Icadian Recorder.

Ti-is Piuivcs’s Tu'roii.—Mr. Gibbs, the tutor to the Prince of Wales, and who has hitherto had the charge also of Prince Al- fred will be for the future (says the Colo- nial Journal) be an attache exclusively oftlie heir apparent though of course superinten- ding the education of Prince Alfred as usual. Lieut. Cowell, a young and very intelligent officer of Enginecrs,has received the appointment of what is called “Gover- nor” at continer courts, to the young prince, but for the duties of which we have no corresponding name at our own. Prince Alfred is too young to have an equerry, but whenever he stirs abroad on public occasions he will be attended by Lieute- nant Cowell.

The Russian trophies have been removed from the Dia Square of the Arsenal at Woolwich and stored. The guns are to be cut u , and, after going through a cer- tain analyticnl process, will be smelted and mixed with British gun metal for casting purposes.

The Economist calculates that at the most the war with Russia will have been brought to a conclusion by the creation of onl 810,440,000 new debt, funded and un- funded ; but if the debt redeemed in 1854 be deducted, the public debt of‘ this country will have been increased by the war to an amount of only £32,37l,495.

Excursion trips to St. Petersburg, 1525f. per head, are being organised at Paris.

The Duke of Brunswick has left his dominions on a tour to Vienna, Venice, Rome, and aples.

The horses deemed unfit for service in the French Crimean camp are slaughter- ed, end the flesh of the healthy animals is eaten.

The King of Naples is preparing ii written justification of his policy, to be issued in the form of a letter to the Aus- trian Government.

The refusal of the Grand Duke of Tus- cany to conclude a new concordat with the Pope, is reviving his popularity at Florence.

The Confess of Walewski, wife of the Minister for Foreign Aliiiirs, has received from the Queen of Spain the Cordon of the Order of the Noble Ladies of Maria Louisa.

A RUBIIAN Exonus.-—Russia seems to be menaced with a general exodus. No people have such faith in the efficacy of German waters as the Muscovites. The consequence is, that all those who have any ailing, and have been retained at home by the war, are now preparing to migrate to the apes. The St. Petersburg journals are filled with notices of leave of absence. Extraordinary exertions are making by the commercial classes to re. cover lost ground and time. A letter of the 7th, says that upwards of 125,000 tchetwerts of wheat are already in store at Odessa.

On the 15th Prince Metternich entered his eighty-third year. Next month the veteran diplomatist will take up his residence at his beautiful villa at .lohannis- berg upon the Rhine.

UNITED STATES-

The following is the conclusion of Mr. Marcey’s letter to Mr. Dallas, concerning the dismissal of Mr. Crampton and Her Majesty’s Consuls:

The President has therefore been con- strained by consideration of the best inte- rests of both countries, reluctantly to have recourse to the only remaining means of removing, without delay, these very excep- tionablc officers from the connection they now have with this government. his course lins been deemed necessary on account of their unfitness for the positions they hold, arising from the very active part they have taken in getting up and carrying out a system of recruiting, which has been attended with numerous infractions of our laws, and which has disturbed our internal tranquility, and endangered our peaceful relations to anation with which this govern- ineiit is most anxious to maintain cordial friendship and intimate commercial and so- cial intercourse. He has, therefore, de- teriiiined to send to Mr. Crampton, Her Majesty's Diplomatic Representative, hisj passports, and to revoke the exequaturs of Mr. Miittliews, Mr. Barclay, and Mr. Rowecroft, British Consuls at Philadelphia, New York, and Cincinnati._—I am, Ste.

The dismissal of Mr. Crampton has caused no sensation at Washington. r. Lumley, Secretary of Legation, may remain a charge do interim.

Tits Suiminiivs 'I‘si.soiurn Bsrwssu Aiisitics sun Eiiaors.—The bill for the formation of a Transatlantic Telegraph

om any, which was some time ago intro- duce into the Canadian Parliament, has passed its second reading in the lower house, and the committee to whom it was referred have recommended its final pas- sage. The telcgraphline for which provi- sion is thus made will begin at Quebec, and following the course of the St. Law- rence, reach to the eastern extremity of Labrador. A sub-marine cable will then convey the wire to the southernmost point of Greenland, thence up the eastern coast to the point nearest to Iceland; the line will traverse from west to east. Finally another sub-marine cable will stretch away to the Faroe Islands, and thence to the wnorthermost extremity of Scotland. There will be but three or four stations in cross- ing the Atlantic, and the cables, whose junction will form the ocean line, will vary from a hundred to five hundred miles in length. Quebec and London will form the two termini of the line, which it is stated can be completed in less than eighteen months.

Tue Csnriui. Aiasiuciiv Q,uss'rioN.— In it letter to Mr. Dallas, Mr. Marcy says:

“The President would greatly prefer that, in a controversy like the present, turning on points ofpoliticnl geography, the matter should be referred to some one or more of those eminent men of science, who do honor to the intellect of Europe and America, and who, with the previous consent of their respective Governments, might well undertake the task of determin- ing such a question, to the acceptance as well of Her Mujesty’s Government as that of the United States. You are instructed, "therefore, to enter into communication with her Majesty’s principal Secretary of Fo- reign Affairs in relation to Central Ameri- cu, in order to ascertain, in the first p'iice, whether the existin differences cannot be prompily terminate by direct negotiation, and if they cannot, then to discuss the conditions of arbitration upon those points of differences, as to which alone this method of settlement seems requisite or applicable. it being assumed that other points of diffe- rence would yield, as a matter of course, to conferences between the Earl of Claren- don and yourself, conducted in the ccrdiali- ty and fairness which belong to your r- sonal relations, and which is dedicated” by the true interests of both the United States and Great Britain.”

Wars the local Government voted a sum of money for coal, we had rest hopes that some one would have come orward and taken ad- vantage of the offer. That coal formations are to be found, we do not in the least do rec doubt, the only question is, at what depth . for upon this must depend the facility and conse- queatl the profit of‘ working any field that might discovered. 'l‘he grant is still avail- nble,'fcr there was no restriction, we believe, to any iven time for its 0 ration, and we will still indulge the hope, that some practical- ly scientific person will come forward and com- mence operations, which have a tendency to develop any resources that we may possess

elow the surface of the soil. We mentioned some time since, theta promisin specimen of yellow ochre had been submitte to us; this we had carefully round,and it proved to be of an excellent qua ity; we calcined a part of‘ it, and the result gave pigment of a bright red colour. The possession of‘ a mineral paint may be considered as a matter oflittle moment, and we are notdisposed to attach any very great

importance to the discovery, for the quantity

imported, is not perhaps very large, ii there- fore no reat saving could be effected substi- tuting t e native for the foreign mineral. But there is another point from which such adia- covery may be viewed. If we have shed or beds of ochre, may we not also have other earths and minerals, which may be ofgreatsr im rtance either commercially or economi- cal y considered? We know that clay for the urposes of‘ making brick, is extensive y distri- uted throughout the Island, so much so, that there is every probability, that in the course of time, it will be the usual material for building —have we not also clay of a sullicisntlyfine grain, ca ble of being converted into earthen- ware! be such. We heard the late Capt. John Stew ard (Paymaster) tell as an anecdote, that at a very early period of the settlement of the Island, the troops were in want of pipe cla for the purpose of whitening their belts, an the hig price ofl'ei-ed for it, induced seine country pie to bring for sale, some white dirt as t ey termed it, which on inspection proved to be as good pipe clay as that impor- ted ; and for a little w ilc the inventors made aprcflt by the commodity. but the secret of‘ the place where it was tobe found he ' leaked out, put an and to speculation, and the soldiers went and helped themselves, and thus saved their nos. Gallows Point was the place he mentioned. and the late Col. Holland, who confirm Mr. Stswsrt’s story, informed the writer, that it occurred in other loeslitiu. Now we should like to be satisfied upon this point. Ifpige or potter's clay of any description exists in so cieut abundance, hers is an article which may be turned to an available account. in an agricultural Country the demand for ' It is far better for airy pur s than wood or even metal, (though many prefer the latter) there is a wholesomsuess and cleanliness about it, that is not, in our opinioi, to found elesewherc. Now, though earthenware is very cheap in Britain, yet from ts fragility, and the space it takes up and the consequent freight, the rice hero is considerable. A few pottcries would be ofgi-est advantage to the rural popu- laticn.:ind benefit that of the Town in no incon- sidernble degree. It is on this, and similar

accounts, that we wish to see the earth pene-

trated to some depth, that we may be certi

as to whether the structure of‘ the Island gec- logically considered, is homogeneous or varied by the occurrence of strata of diflerent kinds of material. Perhaps the government might think it worth its while to renew its advertise- ment or even to make the experiment itself. The at enitiou is very simple and not at all costly. There is another reason why it should be attempted, either by individuals or the pub- lie, and that is the growing necessity for quan- tities of pure water. We remarked in ajour- ney of only forty miles, the great number of dried u rivulets that occurred along the read, some 0 them, to judge from the channels left behind. must have been streams of‘ no inconsi- derable volume. it is a well known fact, that as a country becomes denuded of trees, it becomes drier. and this is attended with advantages and

‘disadvantages, freedom from fogs and malaria

on the one hand, want of the means of irriga- tion and iufrequency of rain on the other.

e would wish to see Government and indi- viduals striving which could find_out the great- est number of sources of’ public wcalt . If these are by nature few. there is _ the more reason why we should ascertain their number, and make the most of them when found out. We shall be at all times happy to receive com- munications as to discoveries of this sort, and iraogompaniod with specinieiis the better, and will give them all due publicity.
