Tho Jslander has recently cast a greal of filth and dirty water at the Hon. Mr. Warburton, because he did not choowe to do what Mr. Douse has done — beeause he did not traffie in the land ewned by the Rev. Sir H. Walsh, and make slaves of his tenantry —because he had the selfdenial to advise the owner of Lot 11 to take that property out of his hands, from which he received no inconsiderable year)y ineome — transfer it to the Government, under the Land Bill, at 4s, 6d. per acre, —and under the operation of that Bill, to make freeholders of the people on Lot il, in the course of a short period. Now, contrast Mr. Warburton’s conduct with that of Mr. Douse. The former advises his principal to sell his land to the Goyern- ment at an extremely low price, by which he loses the profits of the Agency ; the latter goes to England, and bargains with his principal to sell him, the Agent, a portion of his estate, so that the Government cannot get it, and then charges such of the tenantry as wish to become freehojders, an enormous price for their lands.

Mr, Heard seconded, and John Lawson, Esq., in qaity gallant style, supported the resolution. It was carried three cheers. '

Mrs. Warren then sang another song, and was heartily cored.

The Hon. Lt. Col, Swabey, in a neat speech, moyed the f lowing resolution :—

The storm of Friday has, as we anticipated, been attended with disastrous effects, The Ferry Wharf, on the other sid of the Hillsborough, has been almost entirely destroyed, Several of the new blocks are swept away, and the ma of which they were com seattered along the shore. The schooner Gad, Bagg, Mester, from Halifax, laying alongside, taking in a cargo of oats, was driven by the fury uf the gale upon the wharf, and sunk,—fortunately very little of the eargo wason board, On the opposite coast, we understand, the storm raged with greater yiolenee than here ; several yes sels are reported to have been lost ; so much is certain, but of the names we are left in doubt.

[From the Boston Daily Chronicle, Nov. 27 .}

THE STATE OF THE WAR AT THE END OF THE SECOND YEAR,

Whoever may wish to understand, thoroughly, how vast is the advance that has been made by the Allies in the war, has only to cast his mind’s eye back to this time a year ago, and contrast the things that now are with the things that then were. We had then just received accounts of the battle of In- kermann, and the general impression was that as the Russians should come = there would be made an unceasing series of attacks upon the Allied camp, the result of which would be to drive the invaders into the sea. The Russians had px 80 suddenly from the defensiye to the offensive, that men believed their change of modes was due only to their change of numbers, amd that their supplies of soldiers were inexhaustible. If they failed at Bala Clava and Iakermann, after having been rein. foreed by the corps of Liprandi and Danaenvorg, they would attack again as soon as other reinforcements, already on their way, should reach the theatre of war. Such was the prevail- ing opinion. Men did not dispute the bravery of the Allies, or deny that they had the means of contending with Russia, on — terms, on a fair field; but the advantages, they contend- , were all on the side of the Czar, who could pour such vast armies inte the Crimea as would be able to push the Allies, as it were, from its soil, by their mere weight. England, it was said, had but few more soldiers to send, and it would take a great while to get them into line. France had men enough, but before they could be sent the war in the old Hellenjc pen- insula would be over. What made this view of the subject a)) the more probable was tke destitute condition of the allied armies. It had become clear that the English, at least, were badly served, and that starvatioy was tu be added to the ills under which they were suffering. JJunger and cold were again ‘bout to do the work of the Museovite. Sickness, ever the at- adant on armies thus situated, would soon appear, and ‘ep away thousands of those who had ;thue audaciously sod wpon the holy (and stolen) evil of the grcat empire.

Contriving to collect a con- |

that the price he gave for it was about 4s. 8d., sterling, per acre. Now, we have no fault to find with Mr. Douse, or any one else, making a lucky speculation in land, — such measures as the Rent Roll Bill, the Compensation Bill, and perhaps the revival, to some extent, of the Escheat question, —have had some influence, no doubt, on the mind of the Earl of Selkirk, in inducing him to part with property the use of which to himself is beset with so many difficulties, The enemies of the present Government have ayailed themselyes of every opportu- | nity, and resorted to every contemptible stratagem they could , devise, to make the people on the Worrell Estate discontented with the very moderate price of 12s. 6d. charged for the best ‘land on that estate, since it came into the hands of the Govern- ‘ment. Now, as those parties are all friends of Mr. Douse, we should be glad to know what opinion they entertain of him, when he asks the very moderate price of from 35s. to 40s. per acre for land on the estate recently purchased, of a quality no way superior to that for which the Government receives only 12s. 6d., if we except that the.former happens to be a little | nearer to Charlottetown than the latter. Of course, the parties _ to whom we allude will not breathe a syllable in disparagement | of Mr. Douse, even if he should feel inclined to ask 60s, an acre. We shall hear nothing from them but congratulations — con- gratulations to Mr. Douse on his lucky speculation, and con- gratulations to the tenantry on having such an excellent landlord. By the way, this is the language used in the last Islander, by some wretched toad-eater, who plays second fiddle to the quandom whipper of niggers. Compliments to Mr. Douse for having placed the tenantry on Lot 31 in such a position that no considerable number of them can ever hope to become freeholders, and congratulations to those tenantry on their being consigned to a more galling state of serfdoar than that under which they have yet su,fered — present a fine con- trast to.en ediferial article in the same paper, which informs us that all the township lands in this Island are liable to es- cheat— that, by implication, the assumed proprietors are swindlers; and that Mr. Donse, as well as the rest of them, should have his property immediately confiscated. It is ex- pressly stated in the editorial alluded to, that the Worrell Estate lapsed to the Crown in 1826 on account of a non-fulfil- ment in the conditions of the original grant. The Selkirk , Estate is, or was, in no better position. If Mr. Worrell had a bad title to the former, Mr. Douee has also a had title to the latter. If it were a swindling transaction, as we are told it was, for the Government to take the public money for the purchase of the Worrell Estate, it was also a swindling trans- action for the Earl of Selkirk to take Mr. Douse’s money for Lot 31,— Mr. Douse was a fool to give it,—the people on that Lot will he fools to acknowledge him as proprietor, to pay

him xcuts, ox to purchase Km him. This is a fair statement

That is a matter of opinion which we are not now going to dispute. Mr, Cooper chuckles at the | idea that the government of our City has not fallen into the hands of the Know-Nothings. We were not aware that any of the Yankee faction of that name had found a place in our City ; indeed we are quite sure that we haye none of the dis- reputable gang amongst us; and the use of the term by Mr. Cooper was therefore unnecessary and absurd, to say the least. There was not the smallest occasion for the octogenarian of Sailor’s Hope to distress himself on behalf of our City fathers -—no one will be more ready than ourselves, on all occasions, to make every allowance in their favour ; and if we saw them unjustly attacked, perhaps we should be one of the first to give them the support of our press. If we cherished hostile feel- ings towards them, we could not wish them a heavier calamity than to be placed in such a position as to require Mr. Cooper's defence.

Sir,—

‘Ihave been informed that in a late No, of the Islander the editor of that paper has falsely insinuated that the Hon.

I feel called upon to say, that from whatever source the Islander has derived its information, it is notorjously false. 1 hereby Pee assert that for the last sixteen years I have occupied 100 acres of land, under Jease from Mr. Warburton, during which time he has never demanded one shilling rent of me, notwithstanding I have a sop 19 years old, and for the last five years well able to work my farm.
