on Thursday, John Hutchings, a cooper, residing at
Deptfort, was found guilty of poisoning his wife by ad- ministering to her arsenic. On the judge passing sen- tence, he exclaimed, “[ am innocent; Iam not guilty, my lord and gentlemen ;I declare | am innocent. J have not had any arsenic inmy hands for two months.” The prisoner, who seemed dreadfully affected during the address of the learned judge, exclaimed, as he was leav- ing the bar, “fam innocent; you have murdered an
innocent man.”
Tue Queen’s Rerorn rrom Scorianp.—Her Ma- jesty has returned from Scotland, and is once again lo- cated at Osborne House. She left, Ardverekie Lodge on the 17th ult., and on the night of the 18th a in the harbour of Campbelton. On the 19th her Majesty was bold enough to venture from Campbellton, but a lengthened distance could not be accomplished, and the
our party in the House; and nothing will remove our scepticism on the point, until Mr. Montgomery or his Chieftain shall prove by whom office was indirectly offered to him,and under what circumstances.
Resutts or THE DeLecarion.—The two Despatches which we this day publish, dated the 12th and 28th September, are of such a character as to re- quire little comment. The friends of the Delegates—
whose exultation carried them beyond the bounds of
decency a week or two ago, when Earl Grey’s Despatch
‘in reference to the. Queen’s intention to relieve Sir
‘Henry Huntley at the expiration of his official term, was

On the 20th the squadron once more} got under way, and taking the quickest and best route, in weather not of the calmest nature,arrived at Fleetwood | ata little after seven o’clock, a.m., and there the vessels} remained for the night.
Kditerial continued.
Dunéxn Macuean, Ese., M. P. P.—The
Chieftain of the‘Snarler Clan has recommenced hostil- ities, through the Islagder, against those to whom, for want of a more appropriat designation, he has given the’ nomenclature of the ‘ Snatch@ss.’ We have nothing to do| with the subject of Mr. Maclean’s last letter—it has re- ference to the much-talked of Malpeque Meeting, and) isa kind of indirect testimony—the value of which we) do not mean to estimate—to the statements some time) since published by a writer calling himself “ Observer,” | in the Islander. We leave Mr. W. E. Clarke and Mr.| Rae, against whom friend Duncan’s spite is especially | directed, to settle accounts with him at their leisure, for| all the hard things he has thought proper to indulge,
in reference to them. But we shall not be considered |
painfully conscious of the ridiculous plight into which their folly and imbecility have plunged them. Not only has their Petition been condemned by Earl Grey as “immaterial” and “irrelevant,” but its premises have been ae unworthy of belief, its prayer dis-
regarded, afid one of its exponents forced to retire from’
his seat at the Executive Board, which he so ardently struggled to maintain. theirs—what a melancholy consummation of their fondest
defeat! Having expended three or four hundred pounds

cover in what respect the principles advocated by Messrs, the Hon. W. Swabey is the author of.a letter signed,
Rae and Clarke differ from those long and strenuously |‘ Reformer, published in a late N Oo. of this P aper. The supported by Mr. Maclean himself. It is true, the| ¥#S¢ reason he assigns for adopting this assumption is— former gentlemen, like ourselves, deem it unjust and)
that Mr. Swabey once wrote for the Newspapers over
preposterous to assail the Lieutenant Governor, at a the signature of ‘Reformer.’ Really, this ‘ Juridicus’
time when his most inveterate enemies are to be found ae amongst those who have all along been, and are still
opposed to every liberal principle and opinion. We could no where find a more substantial proof of a Go- vernor’s disposition to act justly and impartially than this opposition clearly exhibits. Mr. Maclean’s better judgment must certainly teach him that which we have often declared, that hostility to a Governor is not a necessary ingredient of liberalisin. Mr. Maclean will, however, please himself. Those whom he calls “ Snatchers” are prepared to abide the judgment of the public now, or at any future time, upon their acts, and if he will throw himself, body and soul, into the arms of the Clique, we hope he will merit their reward, and be forgiven for what they deemed his former offences. Mr. Maclean’s services were never disregarded or depreciat- ed by those to whom he is now opposed ; but, at the same time, they can be easily spared, without occasioning the slightest embarrassment or inconvenience. There is one remark in the last letter which we cannot refrain from noticing. It is, that an indirect offer of an ap- pointment was last winter made to Mr. Donald Mont- gomery. Now, with all due deference to Mr. M. we look upon this as a very paltry boast, because we do not believe that Mr. Montgomery’s conduct in the last ses- sion was such as to inspire any degree of confidence in

his acquaintance with the characteristics of a writer’s|
afinished scamp. For the information of those who
the Hon. Mr. Swabey Tt wrote—never saw the letter ef ‘ Reformer, until it was printed in the paper; and in- deed we are not sure that he saw it then. The assump- tion being, therefore, false, the conclusions—which look very much like the conclusions the astute mind of young
style is much more limited than would appear to be his| acquaintance with the characteristics and attributes of | H
Bill Pope would arrive at—are, of course, likewise false,| in a word, the whole letter is so replete with nonsense, impudence, and falsehood, that, we are convinced, on-| ly such a person as Bill Pope might be found to write it, and certainly none but John Ings to print it. If we are wrong, we would advise whoever is the happy parent of the bantling to preserve his incognito as securely as possible, for if he were known, and ever endeavoured to palm himself off as a faithful member of society, his letter would rise in judgment against him—proclaiming a scoundrel, or born to be one.
