Donald is a son of his, was not ‘a’ pennyless adventurer ’’ when he left the Highlands of Scotland—that Donald himself never supped a seant allowance of brose out of a horn spoon— never went in rags and barefeet; but was nursed in such luxury and grandeur, that it is quite nataral for him now— notwithstanding his menial oceupation—to have hishead filled with aristocratic notions, and to render a fashibnab'e cane an indispensable appendage even when bowing and scraping to | his masters, or sent upon a flunkey’s errand, There is, how- ever, an amusing tradition about Donald's retirement from

Cooper adds that the work was | not required till May, although the sceount was rendered for | Catholics, a place had to be made for him somewhere. it in February. This is no less fale» in every particular than | the previous assertions. ‘Lhe printing for the road seryi-e has | been always done in January and Fet ruary, because it re- quires to be forwarded to the Commissioners in the latter month, or in March at least, to give them time to fill up the | blanks, and forward the necessary papers to the Overseers long tefore the first of May, when trey enter on the discharge of their daties. The printing was done in 1858 at the usual zime, and the most part of it forwarded to the Commissioners ; the balanee was sent to the new Road Correspondent when he applied for it. If Mr. Ings had reprinted a part of the work, it was no doubt necessary for him todo so. ‘The Government had dismiased nearly all the old Commissioners; and as the blanks could not be got from those who bad received them, it was necessary to have new ones prepared for their success- ors. So mech for this false charge. But let usadd a little reasoning to facts. If it were true that we obtained money from the Government to which we had no lawful! claim, why was not the Attorney General of the present Government | : Sal authorised to proceed for the reeovery of thesame? Why did | ©UTS¢, the wretch supposed would be very offegsive to us. not the House of Assembly, with # large majority against us, | The flunkey is mistaken. We take notice of the transaction? And why did the Govern- ment pay ua several Bills for printing since the time we had done the work for the road service, if we had received money unfairly for the latter? We know these questions will not be auswered, but they expose the groundlessncss of Cooper's charge against us on this head.

5. Cooper having been reminded that there ia an entry on | the House of Assembly Journals, charging him with direct ewindlipg, when he was Clerk to tlhe House does not deny the | ebarge, but says—O, there is a resulution of the louse in re- | ference to Mr. Edward Whelan. In 1851 or 1852 he was accused by Mr. Edward Palmer of having no legal title to his seat in that House: and if Mr. Palmer's resolution bad been carried, Mr. Whelan nught have been held accountable for | perjury. There is a wonderful difference between being charged with an offence, and being proved guilty of one. Cooper has been proved guilty of a sha:aeful swindle ; and his friends in the Assembly, who have a majority there, have not dared to remove the damning record from the Journals. We became & member of the House in 1846— (a thing which J. 3B. Cooper will never have to boast of durmg his nataral life)—and down to 1851 the Tories had a majority against us. Our seat was unchallenged all this time, and the nature of | our qualification was well known to our opponents. If that qualiication were illegal or defective, why did not the Tories try it, when they had a pliant inajority that would vacate vur seat? When it was tried, in 1852 the result was, an utter failure of the accusa ion.

We have now disposed of all the charges brought against us | by tie Clerk to tho Legislative Council, and we have shown | that not one of them is foundedin fact. We could say « great deal more about this individual, if our saying it would briag | men of talent, education, posit on, wealth and influence. compunction to his seared conscience or the blush of shame to! his shrivelled face. We leave the wretched specimen of official | degradation to the masters who employ and pay him, con werous that the pestilence which his character is prone to eshale will poison only those who are in contact with him, anu who deserve to suffer for associating themselves with any thing so vile as the compound of baseness that makes up the cuaracter of our assailant.

Gave st Haciwax-—On Monday night, says the Sun, we had a slight fall of snow, accompanied by a Strong breeze from the southeast. 'To- wards morning the wind increased, and between four and six o’clock it blew almost a hurricane. Iain feil in torrents about the same time, which caused the snow to disappear. The Brigt. Athol, of St. John, N B, from Sydney for Boston, with coal, and the American Schr. Pitot, bound to P. E, Island, were driven on shore at Stony Beach, and will both become total wrecks. The schooner Virginia, which was lying near the Gas Company’s wharf, went ashore, but wo believe has not received much damage, -H- M Steamer Icarus loosened fro her fasten- ings at the Dock Yard, but received no damage. The roof of the build. ing in course of erection for the use of the Volunteers was also blown down,

VessELs Astore.—This morning two vessels,(a brigantine and schr.), were reported on shore near the entrance of tue Hastern Passage. The | following letter to Mr. Munro, of the News Room, gives some particu | lars. }

** The Brigt. on shore at Stony Beach is the Athol, Capt. Balson, of | St. John, N. B., from Sydney, boaad to Boston, eargo eouls~-is bilged, | and will probably be a total wreck—is dry at low water. If the weather | is at all favourable the cargo will be saved.. Crew all safe. The acl. | ashere near same place is said to be the Americar schr. ‘Pilot,’ bound to P. E. Island.”

A brig is on shore at Red Uead, south entrance Strait of Canso. Her name we have not learned, but we sre informed she is from Boston, with a general cargo for P. KE. Island. She has bilged, and is full of water. She is owned by Mr, Reddin, of Charlottetown, P. BE. Island.

We learn that tne Schr. ‘ Virginia,’ with 120 chaldron coal from tbe Block House Mines, which was sold to the Gas Conpany, went ashore last might near the works. It is not yet known ‘exactly what injury she has sustained. It is hoped they will ‘save both cargo and vessel. —Halhfax paper, Dec.11.
