I have submitted this Address to the Queen, and ham received Her Majesty’s commands to instruct you to tnform the House of Assembly, in answer, that as the important changes which have been lately made in the ‘Post Office arrangements of Prince Edward Island, and generally in British North America, were not known to them when they prepared their Address, and as it is de- sirable that no further alterations should be made until

.the effect ofthe late measures shall have been ascertain- ed, Her Majesty’s Government will not, atpresent, enter upon the consideration of the topics to which their at- .tention is more particularly called .in these papers. They will, however, hereafter, be ready to consider any further amendments in the Post Office arrangements of Prince Edward Island which may appear to be requisite and practicable, with reference to the state of the Rever line; but suflicient time must be allowed to test the ef- fect of the recent alterations.

QUALITIES or 1-H: Doo.-—The dog possesses, incomes- tubly, all the qualities oftt sensible man ; niid,l grieve to say it, man has not, in general, the noble qualities of the dog. We make virtue of gratitude, which is nothing but u duty ; this virtue, this ditty, is inherent in the dog. We brand in. gratitude, and yet all men are ungrateful. It isa vice which commences iii the cradle, and grows with our growth; and together with selfishness, becomes almost always the grand iiiovci' ofliuman actions. The clog knows not the word vir- tue; that which we dignify by this title and admire as a rare thing—and rare it is in truth—constitutes his normal state. Where will you find it man always grateful, never ungrate- ful—iilwuys affectionate, tieVer selfish—pushing the nbnega- tion ofselfto the utmost limits of possibility ; Without gain, devoted to death; withottt ambition, rendering every service— in short, forgetful of injuries, and only mindfu‘l of benefits received?‘ Seek him not—it would be ii useless task; but take the first dog you meet, and from the moment he adopts you for his master, you find in him all these qualities. . He will love you without calculation entering into hll affections. His greatest happiness is to be near to you; and should you be reduced to beg your bread, not only will lie aid you in this difficult trade, lint he would not abandon you to follow a king into a palace—Your friends will quit you in misfor- tune—your wife perhaps will forget her pbghted troth ; your dog will remain always nearyou—he W1” come and die at your feet ; or', ifyou depart before him for the grant voyage, he will accompany you to your last abode.

WANT or Fairer—The defect of our times is nwaut of faith. We live in an age of reality—present,- palpable re- ality. Every thing is who paid for upon demand, every- thing is to be accounted for and answered by return of post. The golden currency of enthusiasm his been called in. There is no reverence for any features of truth behind the veil. Our temper resembles that ofthe Pundit \vlio inquired of Ilcnry Martyn whether, by embracing.' the Christian reli- gion, he should behold the Deity in it visible shape: This eagerness to perceive every object without delay and impedi- nieiit is a characteristic of minds which have not been ac- customed to gaze at the luminary oftruth, and might be rebuked by u Hebrew legend which we have rearh “You teach,” said the Emperor Trajan to a famous Rabbi, “that your God is every-where, and boost that He resides among vour nation. Ishould like to see Him.” “God’s presence is indeed every-where,” the Rabbi replied ; “ but he cannot be seen, for no mortal eye can look tipou his splendour.” The Emperor had the obstiuacy of power, and persisted in his demand. “Well,” answered the Rabbi, “suppose that we begin by endeavouring to gaze at one of his AnibasSn- dors.” Trajan assented ; and the Rabbi, leading him into the open air, for it was the iioou ofthe day, bade Iiim raise his eyes to the sun, then shining down upon‘tlie world in Its meridian glory. The Emperor mude the uttempt, but re- linquished it. “I cannot,” be said ; “the light dazzles me.” “ If; their,” rejoined the tritmiphing Rabbi, “thou art unable to endure the light of one oins creatures, how (most thou expect to behold the unclouded glory of the Creator?” It is a beautiful and touching parable, and teaches humility not only in Religion, but iii Literature and Lu life—Fraser’s Ma- gazine. ;

Resonu'rlou.—This, of till the qualifications of a great man, is perhaps the most efficient and important. A reten- tive memory, it lively imagination, an acute judgment and strong passions, may all be useful as qualities of a great man; but they all need resolution to bring them to a point. As in the case of a burning-glass the rays will not burn without the glass, nor the glues transmit heat unless it bath the property of collecting the rays into a focus; so it is re- solution which combines iind powerfully applies the other talents. Some are prolific in schemes ofuscfulness, but are miserably poor in execution. Like some trees, they spend themselves in blossom, and never yield fruit. ’A gentleman last summer showed me a fine tree in his grounds, which he said. he had resolved to cut down, for although for years it had produced a finer blossom than any other tree in his orchard or garden, yet it never bore fruit. lie mentioned this to a friend, who said, the fact is, the tree spends itselfin blossom.

This continued until the 13th, on the evening of which Mr. Lec,jun., and myself, accompanied by a boat’s crew, landed at Fury Beach, and there saw the house which had been constructed by Capt. Ross and the crew ofthe Victory; like- wise the stores and provisions ofthe Fury. The house was somewhat duriinged, but the provisions, iiltlioiigh exposed to the incleiiiency of the weather for 18 years, were all in tlie' highest state ofprcsorvation. They consisted offlour, sugar, pickles, carrots, sultiiou, soup, &c.; the three last-mentioned articles are in cniiiiisters, und hermetically sealed. There are various stores for ships’ use—viz: anchors, cables, rope, and iron work in great variety. Nothing was allowed to be removed, except some trifling article as a relic, from Fury Beach, and it is to he hoped that other masters will act with the some consideration as Mr Lee in not allowmg anything to be removed. 'I‘Iiey ought rather to add to the stores. It was by their moons that the captain and his 'crew survived for two years. The house contains apartments, one of which has evidently been allotted to Sir John Ross, another to his officers, and the remaining part to the ship’s company. It is in form a house 16 feet by 10, covered with the It‘ury’s sails. It contains two large stoves and beds arranged on each side of the house, with stools, tables, &.c. There are provisions and fuel sufficient tosei've a ship’s company of 52 men for one winter, which, ifallowed to remain, will doubtless prove invaluable to some poor shipwrecked Whalers or voyiigei's.” —Euatern Counties (Hull) Herald. .
