We continue to hold on to our intention as to

Mr. Lord in his threefold cspscit , of Agent for the Vessel, and s Member of the government, by which, the Puir Queen was employed, snd one upon whose ecision, ufleru rsonal inspection, she was accepted, smnds in a situation of very peculiar delicacy, so much so, that he on ht to ave been the last rson nominated, ttn should, in an case, ave declined putting himself forwsr in an investigation, which may finally result in put- ting him upon his own defence. As to .lr. Mitchell, he is it more nobody, or rather \VOI'.90, a reputed tool of Coles and Whelun, and one, whose disgusting and filthy work, as such, if common report is to believed, has gained

him an unenviable notoriety.

, require no comment,and taking them in the most favorable light. there can be no other im- pression than that there has been misconduct of the grossest kind exhibited on the occasion.

" The conduct ofMr Whitney, of St. John New Brunswick, the owner, he being as yet: beyond the reach of legal responsibility, may however be fairly discussed. And certainly it is difiicult to find languiige too severe wherewith to characterise his acts. He has long had an unenviable notoriety in refreuce to the character of his steamers, but this occurrence hunt cer- tsinl added the climax to his fame ; he should new content with the laurels he has won and retire from ublic life. Here was a boat in which the pub ic were invited to cross one of the most tempeatuous ports of the Gulf of St. Lswercnce, and yet she was not furnished with boats in which twenty persons could t without estly riskin their lives, and not a single li e preserver orfiife buoy was on board. She sp a to have been at all times leaky, and was believed, by every person in this com- munity, to be unseaworth , and so uusnfe that persons only went in her rem necessit .
