In reply to the charge of having acted illegally and unconstitutionully in dissolving the old Board of Fire- rvardens and appointing a new one, the Executive tlrrnugli its organ The Royal Gazelle, aided by the .1111- rci-lt'zer——tho former evowedly conducted by one mem- ber of the Adnririistrution, and the latter said to be under the control of another--pleads that “ It became the duty ofthe Executive to put in force the Act ofthe Legislature for the removal of the Post Ollice to the Old Court House," that “ This required that the Fire Errgincs should be removed from the latter place," that “ The Firowardetis were directed by the Executive to clfect their removal,” that “they either evaded the dir-cction or declined to attend to it,” that “ their cori- duct was contumaciorts.” and that the Executive were compelled to “ adopt the only alternative left them, and disrniss the refractory Board.” Now we admit it to be truc, that it was the duty of the Executive to see that the Act for the removal of the Post Oliice was to ht‘, like all other Acts of the Legislature, legally and con- stitutionally carried into efl'ect; and we further udtnit, that it was required that the Fire Engines should be rflmfwcd. And we are so far from denying, that the l“it‘eWarrlens were directed by the Executive to cheer

by one of its own body, that such was the case. And we further admit, that the Firewardens declined to

their removal, that we rejoice to see it acknowledged‘

of the acid building, which is hercinbefove set apart for the Post Oflice,) and to place the Fire Engines in such rooat, and to continue in the occupation thereof for the purpose aforesaid."

It is evident, from the language of this Statute (whether its frnrucrs meant that it should so speak, may be matter of doubt , that the Fire Engines were not to be removed from t e place in which it is stated_ in the Act the then were, until a new place for their recep- tion hit been prepared at the back wing on the North side of the building. Now we will fairly admit, that in legal parlance, the words “it shall be lawful for the Firewui-dens to build, &c.,” ma mean that the Fire- wardens shall build an additions rootn, &c.; and it is possible that they were ordered to erect such additional room in the terms of the Act. \’Ve do not think that they were, but whether they were so ordered or not, they also--we have it from good authority-—reapectfully submitted that they had no funds : Now this, as it was unquestionubl true, and ought to have been and was known to the Executive, was it good and aullicient au- swer, and cannot be held to be in the least degree con- tutnncious. VVhen the Israelites were ordered by Pharoah to make bricks without straw, it was then considered uttd has been ever since it tyrannical and unjust command, and though the Executive lurs strewn, that it can be very peremptory in its commands, we hardly think, that it would seriously insist upon the Fire- wardcns building the Engine House at their own ex- pense, out ofthcir own proper funds. It was then an - . estc-d—as we have been informed—that the sense oft: Town Meetin should be taken upon the subject, but the Board of ‘irewcrdone, at least that part of it en- dowed with common acme, well knew that the attempt would be bootless. The Town had been applied to be-, fore and ltad voted money for this very purpose which had been expended in fitting up the old Council Chamber, and they would have then, as they will lrcrcaftcr, iftt proposition at once so silly and insulting is made to tlictn, reply “If the Govenunent are bent upon turning the present Engine House into a.

The latest repttrts from the pt-ovittces are, on the whole, favour- ablo.

A lllcrtrlt gentleman, who is a deputy-lient:-nant, rind extensive landed pro- prietor, states, that after an errarrtinatioii, there is not, as far as re can ascertain, any ground for alarm about the potato crop. He says, that in places where ever vestigo of the liaulms li:td dc- rayed, an abundant crop of per ectly sound potatoes was still to be found.

Since our last the wentlier has undergone considerable change, and during the past week we have had a quantity of rain with cold nights atid frosty mornings, which in smite tin-tisure have re- tsrded the progress of the harvest. Still we have not heard of any complaints, the greater part of the wheat crop. 6tc., having been carried, and in good condition, and should litre weather continue for it few days, the whole crop will have been secured. So f:tr as it has been tested, the wheat crop is not only ahtrndant but of first- rato quality. “We have it frortt rriillers, tltrotrglt wltoso hands quantities oftlm new crop have aimed, that the wt-igltt varies frotrt eighteen stone to cighteen and ti talf. and some aatttples may ever) cxceed these weights. llnt, taking the crop at eighteen stone (III the average. there is ample reason to be satisfied. especially when tho light weights of last year are fresh in our recollt-ction.
