SATURDAY, JULv’é2f 1843.“-

With the double view of making sure ofthe letters from hence getting forward in time for the mail which would leave Halifax for Liverpool on Tuesday last, and of being ready to receive the Englili mail for this Island the moment It reached Pictou Capt. Hubbard’s dcspatcli boat Charles was sent off from lidnce at an early hour on Saturday morning for Pictou, fi~om whence she returned on Monday afternoon. Capt. Hubbard states that the English mail for Quebec arrived at Pictou at one o'clock on that morning, but that the mail for this Island, for some cause or other, which remains to be explained, was detained at Halifax. We hope that a strict inquiry will be made into the cause ofthe detention, the more especially as this is not the first occurrence ofthe kind which we have had to complain of.

The advices by the English niail,‘wliich arrived here on \Ved- nesday afternoon, were to the 4th inst. Ireland was compara- tively tranquil; for although Repeal meetings continued to be held in various parts of the country, there was no indication of

ceased Earl was a General in the Army, Colonel of the 2d Life Guards, Vice-Admiral ofthe coast'of Scotland, Gover- nor of Hull, &.c. &c. He has left a family of four sons and ‘. three daughters, and is succeeded iii his titles by his eldest l son, Lieutenant-General Lord Greetiock. ‘

We have been assured, upon undoubted authority, that the . amount of treasure in gold, diamonds, &.c. captured by Sir Charles Napier, at Hyderabad, lalls little short oftliree mil- lions of money ; the share ofthe gallant general is estimated at not less than £200,000.

THE SOLAR IIAL05.—-Ill our No. of Saturday last (17th June) we noticed the appearance on Friday afternoon, about one o’clock, of two remarkable halos, the one surrounding the sun, and the other having one edge ofits circle through I the sun’s centre; atid that lialfau hour afterwards the latter had disappeared, and the former ring became very beautiful in colours and brillianoy. We find fi‘om the Yorkshire pa- pers that phenomena ofa similar character were observed at Halifax, at \Vakefield, at Hull, and in all probability in many other places. The Halifax Guardian of Saturday, says—“ Yesterday, for upwards of two hours iii the middle ofthe day. a large and remarkable halo surrounded the sun, and excited the wonder of all whose eyes could bear to look upon it.” We find also that the same phenomenon was re- marked at \Vakeficld. In Hull it was seen “ with a differ. once." The Rockingham states that it was visible-from II o’clock until 2. The sun appeared enveloped in it thick misty cloud, which encircled it like a halo; and some distance to the westward there were three rings, all complete, except at the top, interlacing each other in the most curious and brilliant rays.”——Manchester Guardian.

LIVERPOOL, JULY 4. The unsettled state ofthe country generally, and the con-

. med such a formidable appearance,

anything like an outbreak. The insurrection in Spain had assu-

that the Regent (Espartcro) had deemed it necessary to. march against the insurgents in person. A serious riot had taken place in \Valss, which was not suppressed before a good deal of mischief had been done. These “ Rebecca riots,” as they are termed, are attributed Chief- ly to the oppressive toll-systciii in Wales, and to the disgist at the operation ofthe new Poor Law. The farmers and inhabitants of the rural districts (says the Times) complain that they are heavily rated to pay the expenses ofbuilding a large Union woiklionsc— of officers’ salaries— and of supporting the paupers of distant town populations, none of which, they contend, they ought to be liable to. ‘

The French police were actively engaged in endeavouring to discover who are the Frenchmen said to have passed over to Ire- land to foment discontent and to stir up the people to resistance.

ALARMIsrs.—-The paper which raised the report respecting military drilling among the Canadians, has contradicted the alarming announcement. Thus it is, either by foolish or worse, alarmists,——by mistakes or fabrications, that history sometimes becomes falsified, and people and countries seriously injured.— Hcltfuz Gazette.

Hay-making commenced in some parts of England on the second week in June. '

Sannwicn lenses—The British Minister at Washington has officially communicated to the U. States min/that the seizure ofthe Sandwich Islands by Lord I’aulet, was ati act

dition ofIreland and Wales in particular, coupled with the intelligence from Spain and France, render the position and prospects of trade exceedineg discouraging, and, in conse- quetice, instead of being enabled to report any improvement as the season advances, we have to note the opposite result.

The accounts lrom Manchester and the'surrouuding ma- nufacturing districts continue to partake of such a character as is calculated to inspire any other feeling than that ofbope. Little business is going forward, and great want and depri- vation is still endured by a great mass of the labouring clas- ses, and to complete the wotul tale, extremely low prices rule. . -

The prospects for the forthcoming harvest are still propi- tious.

There are at present three Queens and two Kings in Lon4 don: the Queen of England, the Queen Dowiigcr, and the Queen ofthe Belgians; the King of Hanover and the King, ofthe Belgians.

Lieut. Colour-l Fawcett, ofthe 55m Foot, who distinguish—

Colonel Fawcett expired on the succeeding Monday. The affair took place iii a field at the back of the Brccknock Arms, Kcntish Town, and is said to have been caused by an insult offered by Lieut. Monroe, to Col. Fawcett’s lady, ate-party at which they met a fow evenings before.

NOVA SCO'I‘IA.

The Baptist Association of Nova Scotia met at Yarmouth on the QISt Jung). Important subjects engaged the nttentio ofthe members assembled. I bath Schools, the Foreign and Domestic Missions, occupied a considerable portion ofthcir titue. There is said to have been a large attendance of Miitisters'and Laymen, and that the greatest harmony and unanimity prevailed duringthe whole of their sittings—Pictou Banner.

PICTOU, July 15.—The Synod ofthe Presbyterian Church ofNova Scotia met in this town on Tuesday the 11th inst., at 4 o’clock, p. m., and continued in Session until yesterday. About 20 clergymen were in attendance. The sermon at the opening ofthe Synod was, as usual, preached by the Moderator, the Rev. “7. McCulloch. It was appropriate and impressive. The remainder of the day was spent iii the transaction of routine husmess, and in devotional exercises.

On Wednesday, the draft of a pastoral address to the members ofthe Church was read and approvetLtind 1000 copies of it ordered to be published for general distribution. An.overture was adopted on the representation of vacant cbngregations in Church courts by one Elder. A Commit- tee was appointed for the purpose ofdrawing up a formula for admission to sealing ordinances, with instructions to re- port at next meeting of Synod. Dnt‘ing a considerable part oftliis and next day, the Synod was employed in considering the general state of the Church, and devising measures for the prommion of religion within her pale. For this purp it was agreed to revive'the system of Presbyterial visitation— to labour after the promotion of greater purity—to exercise increased diligence in the preparation of students in Divi- nity—to adopt measures for encouraging young men of

hold meetings of Presbyteries for the mutual improvement of its members, and to enjoin upon Ministers and Elders to be more punctual in their attendance on Church courts.

On Thursday a communication was received from the Moderator of-the Synod of'Novs Scotia, in connection ,with the Church of Scotland, requesting the appointment of'a de- putation from that Synod, to meet with a deputation from that Synod, in the Grand Jury room of the County. A pe— putation Was appointed accordingly. A Committee .ofnine members ovanod was appointed to correspond With any similar Committee .who may be appointed by. the Synod of Nova Scotia in connection with the Church of Scotland, res- pecting a union; and to hold friendly intercourse ,wnh them during the recess. ' ' . _ _

On Friday, an overture on the propriety of maintaining a foreign mission, Was remitted to Presbyteries for conidera- tion, with instructions to report at next meeting ofSynod._

The next meeting ofSynod was appointed to be held in Pictou, on the second Wednesday ofJuly, 1844-

H‘”“": JUIY 17-—The fine new bat-qua Alert, Capt. Da- IOYa Which '90 Port on Monday last, with the remainder of the 64th Regt, struck on a rock ofl' Country Harbour, on th‘ following morning about 3 o’clock, after which she W8! found to leak so badly that it was deemed necessary to fun her on shore for the preservation of those on board. The troops and crew were all saved. At the last accounts we un- derstand she was nearly full of water. The account ofthis unfortunate accident first reachedthis place on Thursday evening, by the schooner T. C. James, from Montreal, and on Saturday morning H. M. Ship Rose, and the Dock Yard s‘chooner, proceeded to the wreck. The baggage was at]

The building is neat, substantial and commodious; having, in addition to the large room for the school, four rooms and a oellar,_in one end of the building, for the nccomodation of the teachers. On Sundays, the school, which was formerly ield in the church, occupies the building, and comprises about 150 scholars, most of whom are well advanced in rea- ding, &c. The average attendanCe is about 110.—-Gaz.

. Finn—7A fire broke out at 7 o’clock on Tuesday morning, in a building in the occupation of Mr. Barnstead, a, Baker, and used by him as a Bakehouse, situate at the rear of Mr. Lawrence Cummings, Queen Street, one ofthe most dense- ly built upon spots in the town. The alarm being speedily given, the Firemen with their Engines, with their accustom- ed promptitude, repaired to the spot, and providemially a good supply of water being obtained, the destructive ele- ment was soon get under—no more damage having happen— ed than the destruction _of the building in which the fire originated. Had this taken place at night, it is impossible to calculate upon the extent ofdumage which must inevita- bly have followed among our wooden buildings in the heat of'su’mmer.-1b.

The body of a young man named OLIVER SCOTT, who it appears was in the boat with the ill fated Mr. William Collin, when =he upset in St. I’clcn’s ‘Bay, was seen floating up with the tide in the mouth of St. Peter’s Harbour on Tuesday last. and was brought. on shore and decently intcrrcd'nt the burial ground of that place. The deceased .was about 20 years tillage, and almost a stranger in Ihis country, but. is the son ofa respectable farmer in England, which place he left about 18 months since. \Vc do not know from what country he come, but there is a possibility that this notice may meet the eye of some of his friends, if copied into English papers, and they may learn the melancholy and of his worldly carcer.——Ib.

Tns CROPs.-—At no corresponding period of the past, compared with the present time, have the crops in this Island presented ii more thriving and healthful appearance. This must be attributed, in a great measure, to the abundance of rain which has fallen during the last four or five weeks, together with the genial warmth of the atmosphere. The grass-crops am most luxuriant, and should the weather prnvo favorable I .for hay- making. tlicre will‘be little reason to complain either of thinness or scarcity of crop. Some farmers in the vicinity of Charlotte- town commenced mowing‘ahout aweek ago.

Tits REGATTA.—Thlll‘sdny proving a dead calm, the amusements for that day were confined to rowing matches, all ofwhir-li were ably contested, and excited unbounded applause from the multitudes assembled from the town and country around, to view the anitnatingscoiie. Yesterday it fine breeze sprung up from the N. W., which coniinued to blow steadily throughout the day, when the falling matches took place, affording excellent sport.—-Particulars in our next.

commenced a furious attack upon their opponents, and drove them from the ground, taking complete possession of the hustings, and tearing down the barricades. Their triumph, however, was only of short continuance, for the opposite party greatly reinforced in strength, soon returned, and after an obstinate conflict, put the Cbathani people to flight. A number of them fled for refuge on board the St. George, which soon carried them beyond the reach oftheir pursuers, being on the eve of starting when they came oti board. Such was the state of' things when the St. George— left. Many were grievously injured from the wounds and bruises they received; and the wonder is, that none were actually killed outright. It was understood that very few votes had been polled when the disturbance commenced.

From thearratigemeuts which have been entered into be- tween the Directors of the Steam Navigation Company of this Island and parties in New Brunswick, the Steamer St. George, we understand, will continue to run to Miramichi once a week, as usual, for the remainder ofthe season, agreeably to the advertisement in our first page. She started for Miramicbi yesterday afternoon, and will call at Bedeque

on riday the 28th inst. \

On Tuesday last, the Catholic Bishop of Charlottetown, the Rev. B. D. McDonald, after the celebration ofMass, laid the corner stone ofthe intended new Catliolil: Church in this Town, which, when completed, will be the largest building in the Island, being one hundred atid forty-mic lest long, in- cluding the Tower, by seventy feet wide, atid thirty-six feet post. It will be built in the Gothic style, and front its situ- ation and style of architecture, will be highly ornamental to the Town. Under the stone was placed a hermetically sealed bottle, containing the silver and copper coins ofthe present Reign, together with a newspaper ofthe day, and the name ofthe reigning Sovereign, the Governor and the Bishop. His Lordship was assisted in the ceremony by the Rev. Messrs. Reynolds, Brady, and Meville.

At two o’clock, the Right Rev. Bishop, ivith the clergy, attended by the Benevolent Irish and Temperance Societies, with the Band, and the badges and banners ofthe respective societies, and a considerable portion ofthe congregation, walk- ed to the recently purchased burial ground on the St. Peter’s Road. .

On the Bishop’s arrival, after being vested, he proceeded

o consecrate the ground for a burial place, except a small portion, which was reserved for those who may die in such a state as to be deemed unworthy of burial in consecrated ground. After the ceremOuy, the procession returned to the Town, and escorted the Bishop‘to his residence.

The day will be long remembered by the Catholic popu- Kij: of the Town and neighbourhood—Com.

the afternoon of Tuesday last, the children ofthe Wes- leyan Sunday School assembled at the chapel, from whence they walked in procession to Kensingtou, u pleasantly situ- ated farm in the vicinity, a part of'wbich Was kindly lent on the occasion by Mr. George Beer,jun., its present occupant.

After amusing themselves for a short time about the ground, they sat down to the long rows of tables which were set out upon the lawn, and regaled with tea, cake, and other good things, which had been previously provided for them by their friends. After the children had finished their repast, tea, &c. was supplied to about 170 guests and teach- ers. The tables having been cleared, a number of appro- priate hymns were beautifully sung by the children, who were afterwards affectionately addressed by Mr. J. Bovyer, in the course of'which he ndverted to the circumstance, that just twenty-six years had elapsed since the first Sunday School was established in Charlottetown by their present minister, the Reverend Mr. Strong, and Which had contin- ued in active operation up to the present day. After prayer, the children again formed into,proces_sion, when they re- turned to the chapel and Were dismissed, all seemingly
