A fortnight has now nearly elapsed smce we had a mail, and in the present state of the streight it seems quite uncertain when we may receive one. As there are now two English mails due, this is not a little provoking. The carriers, we understand, are still on this side ; for althou h they have made several attempts to cross, they have proved abortive. T e weather, during the past week, has been as severe, nearly, as an we experienced throughout the winter. On Wednesday we had a Violent storm of ' snow; during the greater part of yesterday it blew strongly from the South West. accompanied towards evening with rain.

The election of a member to represent the Third, or Southern, Electoral District of Queen's County, in the House of As- sembly, in the room oer.Arbuckle, commenced at Pinctte on VVed- nesday last.

The Election will be raconinicnccd at Second Creek on Monday next, at Eleven o'clock, and, unless the contest should be sooner closed, may be continued there for two days longer.

On Menday night, about eleven o’clock, a fire broke out

in the Northern end oer. Pethick’s Brewery, which, for some time,

I had rather an alarming appearance. By dint ofthe iinited exertions

ofthe inhabitants, however, who assembled on the occasion with a

promptitudo and alacrity which do them greatcredit, the fire was got under, after doing comparatively little injury to the building.

S‘VINDLING. T‘VENTY DOLLARS REWARD. HEREAS a person styling himself Doc'ron. WILSON,

accompanied by a youth whom he represented as his appren- tice, came to East Point, about the beginning of last December, and took a house from Mr. John Macdonald, Retland, with the declared intention of practising in a medical capacity; butaller a residence of something more than three months at the East Point, during which time he successfully played off several acts ofswindling upon the unsuspecting inhabitants ofthat quarter, he suddenly disappear- ed from amongst them, and has not since been hoard ofb any of the individuals, who; in some degree, have been made the Victims of his knavish deceptions: This is to give notice that the subscriber will give Twenty Dollars, as a. reward to any person who shrill give such information to him (the subscriber) as mag load to the making ama- nable to justice of the said self-styled oe‘h‘r Wilson; and is also further intended to prevent others from sufi‘ering from the imposi. tions which, no doubt, he will continue, or attempt, to practise in other quarters. In accordance with these views, t to following) per- sonal description, and bricfstatement of‘tlio trickery at East oint, ofthe said impostor, are subjoined. _ Doctor Wilson is a young man, apparently about 25 years of age, in hei ht about 5 feet, 9 inches, smooth and full faced, fair complexioned, and in y stout. . IIis swindling he practised upon almost every dealer at East Point. Mr. M‘Vane, miller, he swindled out of a quantit of flour, and the subscriber he cheated out of goods to the value of £3 5. His success at East Point, in all, seems to be to the amount of about w or 25!. His last attempt upon the subscriber was by a forged Order in the name of James Manley. He, besides, succeeded in borrowing two or three watches, which he carried off. \Vhen he loll East Point, it was under the pretence of going to Charlottetown for his Medicine Chest. He was taken to Town by one Donald Kennedy, whom, with his horse and sleigh, he had engaged for that

purpose. When he reached Charlottetown, he suddenl forsook the cor '

man, Kennedy, found it convenient “to remember to forget” to ay im, and has not since been heard of. He said he was from St. Jo n, New Brunswick. His pretended a rentice appears to be a worthy disciple of his master. He called himsel Nair. M‘CALLUM, and said he was from Lot 16. He stayed awhile behind his master, in the end purchased an old mare, borrowed a watch from Mr. Samuel Rose, and went, for anything the subscriber knows, to 'oin his master, him in levying further contri-

tit ul d ' ' butions upon We °'.’”“ “"735; 0mm BEATON,
