NEWFOUNDLAND.

A large proportion of our sealing ﬂeet have now returned, and we are in a position to form a pretty accurate estimate of the result of the voyage which we regret to say, must prove a most unfortunate one. We had an unusually

_ mild winter up to the 1st March, inducing the

belief that as in some former seasons, a w t of ice would be experienced. But about iii. date we mention, the characteristics of the weather for the two previous months changed entirely, and we have since had weather of an unusually severe description. It appears that the vessels encountered heavy ice, and in unusual quantity, and with the severe frost we had in March, accompanied by light North and North-East winds, t e eater number were frozen up tight and deprived of all chance of

rosecuting the voyage. Of the vessels that have returned (and the best are always first), only one exceeds 3000 seals. We do not think the average will be over 500 scale, which will give an aggro to of about 200,000—or one- third of a goo year’s catch. The weight of the seals is unusually light so that the produce

of oil will be even less than the number of:

seals would indicate by reference to the yield of ordinary years.—New_/'oundland.

Tris Nswrouxnnann SUB-MARINE TELEGRAPH. -——We learn that Mr. Field, the managing director of the company for laying down a submarine telegraph wire between London, Newfoundland and New York, has just returned from Europe, where he is said to have made a ver favourable contract for the submarine cab to connect Newfoundland with Ca 0 Breton. This cable is to be 70 milgs in lengt , and is to be ready for shipment on the lat of May. The company conﬁdently expects to have telegra h communication established be- tween New ork and St. J ahn’s, Newfoundland, by the first of July next. It may not be generally known, that when this telegraphic communication is completed, it is intended that the Collins steamers shall call at St John’s on both their outward and inward voyages. The enterprise is of the utmost im ortance to the neglected, but extensive an im rtant

colony of Newfoundland.—Bcslon Trove .

The United States’ shi Jamestown, Commander Ellisteii, bearing the iii; of Commodore Crabbe, arrived at Havana on the l5tli .ult., saluted and Q minted in return on the 16th; on the morn- ing of the 17th she left, as was general y under- stood, for Key West.

The medals will be of silvered composition, and can be afforded at a low price. A quarter at a million will probably be struck oil‘. We suppose that those who desire medals in gold or silver can have them. ,

The weather has at last begun to assume a more genial aspect. There has been, however, a great deal of cold raw weather, which we attribute to the ice on the coast. occasioned by the breaking up of the St. Lawrence and its tributaries. The reat misfortune of ii. late Spring is, that the farmer is obliged to hurry his work, so that it is in consequence not so well performed : the rapidity, however, of the vegetation is such, when it has once fairly com- menced, that the harvest is seldom greatly retarded on that account alone.

Now, that the winter is over, and that the ,

frogs have proclaimed the fact, for until we have their sanction for it, we always hesitate to express our opinion, we gladly congratulate our town-readers on the evident improvement that has taken place in the increase both in number and reﬁnement, of our public amuse- ments and recreations. We consider this a matter of more moment to the social well-being of a community than many of those do, for whose o inion we have in general, a great res- pect. an is a social animal, and one of the

rest propensities of his nature is a fondness or gregprioas assemblages. There is some- thing ex ilirating even in the very bein in the midst of a crowd, an it is wonderfu to see how easily those who compose it are amused. The stalest joke will then he laughed at, and Ian hter is more catching than people in gene- ral elieve. It is of importance then that this desire for mixing together in large masses should be turned to a proper account, and be made subservient to the cause of morality and good order. Hence we conceive it to be ii. fair subject for congratulation, that during the last winter. there was a better succession of temper- ance lectures, meetings of the Mechanics‘ Insti- tute, and Corioerts, than has ever been experi- enced. All were well attended, and this of itself is a pleasing feature, inasmuch as it exhi- bits an approximation to a taste for enjoyment of a purer and more intellectual nature, which, if properly fostered, will do much towards abating the feverish anxiety too frequently felt for excitement, originatin in o more grou and sensual of our appeti s. The incorpora- tion of the Mechanics’ Institute will be—we trust-—a nucleus around which much that will tend to place Charlottetown higher in the scale will have room to form. ublic library, a museum, however humble in t sir beﬁnnings. will increase with the wth of the city, as it will be in a few men s, and we look to the co-operation of the civic authorities for givin an impetus to social and rational enjoyment c all kinds, in providing clean streets and uninterrupte side we ks, lighted we trust, after a due time, with gas; and above all, a police which willokeep down many of those mi- nor species of nuisance, that detract from our comforts.

Now that our farmers can command such well-remunerating prices for their produce, the demand for the comforts and moderate luxuries oflife will increase. this will give it s ring to trade, and labor of all kinds will be airly re- munerated, and with all these advantages we cannot choose but to “ go ahead” as our repub- lican neighbours say.

On perusing the columns of the Islander, peri- odical, of Friday the 4th ult., we observed, to our abliorrcrice, an article under the si nature of “Joseph Beers, junr., of Cherry 'allc , known as an illiterate lad, and uiiquestioniibly not the author of the letter alluded to,but some other clandestine and pusillitniinous indi- vidual, therein impeaching our respected Teach- er, viz., Mr. Alex.

ands of every well-disposed member of society.

Then, sir, how an igncramus of a lad, who can neither read nor wt-ite,can have the audacity ond impertinenoe of appearing in public rint, tmpliciiting and dictating, to any intol igent‘ community gs to whom they may deem essen- tial. to engage as an instructor or uardian of the Educational welfare of their c ildren, we cannot conceive. Truly the character who ﬁgured as a “si attire" and his hero, are more dcservin 0 public sympatb than cen- sure, for such agrant exposition 0 their pre- sumptive ignorance and erroneous invectives.

_ How, Sir, the lad Beers, who ﬂourished as a signature, could acquiesce, at tho caprice of his champion, to embody in the insigniﬁcant letter in_questicn, an imputation on the inhabi- tants_ol the District, as being cul ble of a violation of the law, by allowing Mr. lcNeill to keep what he terms a disorderly Tavern, which assertion as well as his former ones, are known to the res ectable travelling public, and also to this neigh ourhood, to be a wilful perversion of the truth. Mr. McNeill and his competent partner, conduct their establishment, upon orderly, respectable and strictly moderate prin- eiples, and do not throw their doors open for the reception of loafers, and the reckless of ii. settlement, but for the travelling public, who no doubt will give Mr. McNeill and his Mrs. due applause'f0r their civility and attention in contributing to their necessities.

Sir, when that clause of the School Act came into operation, which interferes with Mr. Ic- Neill in consequence of following the occu - tion of a [nu Keeper, we antici ated, tat should he the said Teacher, relinquish his callin as Tavern Keeper, bein as we re- sume contrary to the wish of the Travel in public, by whose solicitations he has opened is establishment, perhaps some haunt of low fame would s ring up, which might prove ruinous to some cfthe youth of the settlement, and a trap to the unwary; heretofore therefore, as Mr. McNeill‘s Inn is not within the limits of his “ School District," and does not interfere with his Scholastic duties, the house being chieﬂy conducted by Mrs. McNeill, and that upon admirable principles, and we believe to the satisfaction and appreciation of the intelli- gent travelling public; under such considera- tions, we look upon the matter as not being a great breach or violation ol the Law, as un- questionably the ublic must have some place of call, when trave ling, and we resume would ike to frequent a respectable avern, where they would obtain the common necessaries of

In conclusion, Mr. McNeill never has acted in contnrioty with the wish of his supporters, nor with those who have the supervision of the matter; he at all times manifested a willingiess at any reasonable intimation, to discontinue his occu tion as In Keeper, if parties inter- esteddi not consider that his establishment

If you are sick, the probability is, that the root of your suffering is in the stomach. From ii weak sto- iriach proceed dyspepsia, lsnguor, oppression in the diaphragm, jaundice. headache, nausea, bodily weak- ness, dimnoss of sight, heartburn, costiveness, dy- sentry, and a legion of other tormenting diseases. indigestion produces thin blood, and therefore do- stroys the strength and vigor of the system. To ro- store the tone of the stomach, arid enable it to throw of and dismiss forever all these tormenting and dan- gerous compliiints, nothing is necessary, but a perse- vering use of Hcclland’s German Bitters, prepared by_ Dr. C.
