FAILURE AT MIRAMICHI. We regret exceedingly to hear that the Honorable Joseph Cunard, of Miramichi, has been compelled to yield to the pressure of the times—he having stopped payment of Saturday week. The following is an extract of a letter dated at Chatham, Nov. 30, 1847:

‘Mr. Joseph Cunard stopped payment on Saturday last, and assigned all his estate and effects to Trustees for the benefit of all his creditors, and his establishment is closed. The Trustees are, Robert McCalmont, his agent in England; Hon. S. Cunard of Halifax; Thomas c. Allan, of the Commercial Bank ; and George Kerr, his Attorney. The amount of his liabilities is fearfully great, but the total] is not yet ascertained. His property is immense, and at a fair value would realize 20s. in the pound—but to be wound up by assignees for prompt payment, in these hard times, may not realize 5s, in the pound. The result of this failure will be fearful. It will be equal in its consequences to Miramichi, to the great fire of 1825. * * * Heis really to be pitied. With so much property on hand, and having sent suffi- cient new ships and property home to meet his bills, now lying unsold in Liverpool, it is really too bad.’

EMIGRATION ORPHAN ASYLUM. An Institution, bearing this name, has lately been commenced at St. John, 'N. B.—the Old Poor House, having been fitted up for that purpose. 163 chrildren already receive the benefit of the Asylum. The Vew- brunswicker describes the arrangements made as being very excellent, and says that in order to provide extra clothing for these children, a public subscription, headed by the name of Lady Colebrook, has been commenced. The fact is heart-rending that so large a nunber of emi- grant children have become orphans in a strange land, whilst on the other hand it is an honour to jNewbruns- wick that her !adies dispense their ‘tender mercies’ to the suffering strangers.

CERTIFICATE OF CHARACTER WANTED. Santa Anna has issued a long document, in his pecu- liar style, in which he protests against being considered acoward or a traitor, and calls upon the officers and soldiers of our army tospeak for him. He says— | conjure Gens. ‘Taylor and Scott, and every individual in their armies, to declare npon their aonors, whether the

Mexican General, who has combatted against them in|

the north, and in the east, and even in the centre of the republic, until the 10th of the present month, has not ful- filled ali the duties to his country” The document breathing nothing but continued war.

A CHILD KILLED BY a Bear.—We were informed

. only yesterday ofa melancholy and frightful occurrence

which took place some time ago near Arisaig. A widow woman whose name we have not heard, it ap- pears was working in her potatoe field some distance from her house, having with her two children, a boy and a girl. The latter, a child about eight years old, re- quested leave to go home, which was granted by the mother,w 10 sent the boy with her to see her safely through

.& patch of woods which lay between the house and where

they were working. He accompanied her a part of the way, until it was thought she could find her way alone, and shortly after turning from her, he heard her scream, but it not being repeated, he supposed it to be only in consequence of her having been startled at something trifling, and paid no more attention. On going home no traces of the child could be found, and on the follow- ing day a search was instituted, which soon resulted in the discovery of parts of her clothing covered with blood, as well as some bones, the supposed mangled remains of her person. It was then observed that there were numerous bears’ tracks around the spot, and this coupled with the traces already mentioned, compelled to the horrible conviction that the poor child had beer devour- ed by one of these ravenous animals, some of them hav- ing been known to be in the neighbourhood during the season.— Pictou Eastern Chronicle.
