l (Continued.)

Mr Coates came to this Island in 18%

,from Sllffolk, England. For many years he_ was Deputy Prothonntary of the Supremo Court when held in St. Eleanors.

Thou. Hunt Esq. succeeded him, and his

soh Wal. T.

it niece of the above named Mr. Coates

came tothe Island ill the year IMS and shortly aft-er became the wife of Albert Il. Compton, brother to the writer. Since

his demise his son Henry has been pro- prietor of this fine property to which he has added other lands. Independent of this he cuitivates another farm on the

)Pavilion. His residence has been re-

' ulpdeled in the last two years and is one of. the handsomest on this road. llc is

fu' r

ing St. Eieanors he went to reside ln Charlottetown and was proprietor of the

of\'l‘ra`fafgar", “Bombardment of Algiers by Lord Exmouth", "Victory of Admiral Bing over li Spanish fleet", “Relief of Gibralter by Rodney". “Hood defeating the French in 1782", “Victory ofltlamper- ddwn by Admiral Duncan", “Death of Captain Cook" and the British' warship Bellerophon with Napoleon on board. The next room is largely taken up by relies of Nelson: the coat and cravat worn during the battle of the Nile; gun, sobre aad'oanteon presented to him by the Sultan; eoat, vest, sword and watch wom by him at Trafalagar. As may be seen, tile bullet which caused his death went in under the left epaulett-e, while the left front of his linen vest is stained by his blood.

Another roolu is entirely hung with pictures of Nelson at various stages of his life and by dilterent artists: one, doubtless intending to represent the r'lntlon’s grief for the hero, shows him breathing hielastin the arms of a most beautiful woman. `LM=le‘ stood between Napoleon and: `l'iuiVéi‘lil`ll 'empire at which lle doubtlessly‘ lined but the small realm of Britain, wiliolrhumanly speaking was saved by. tilhgenlus of Nelson. With the French "tick/oi-loss at Trafalgar as at Jena and _ 'W’agram,one cares not to guess at the. consequences likely to follow. It is there-_ fore no wonder though tears of -genuine

holfmw were shed during the rejoiciags "when news camo that the great battle who won. Beside the canvas there are in the “Painted Hall” busts of<Nelson, Duncan, ‘
