In addition to the above we are able to state, that the Hon. Mr. Gray arrived in this City last Thursday night, and a proclamation was issued by His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor on Saturday, announcing that Mr. Gray would visit every part of this Island in the performance of his duties, and requesting all persons in authority to give him the neces- sary information and assistance.

We understand that M. H. Perley, Esq., the British Fishery Commissioner, has also arrived here, and will embark to-day in I. M.

Tur Season.—We have often heard it stated that this was a country of extremes in reference to the weather, and this remark has been borne out the past week. In our last issue we alluded to the extreme heat of the weather. On Tuesday commenced a change. The wind has since prevailed from the eastward, with heavy rain, rendering a top-coat out of doors, and a fire in-doors, both comfurtable and necessary. Reports are afloat of several sad disasters involving the loss of human life, on the river, but we have not as yet been able to collect the facts. A boat belonging to Prince Edward Island, on board of which was a man and his son, (name unknown,) when off Point Escuminac, during the heavy blow on Tuesday,

a crying shame. “Served how?” 0, you'll kill me!

And Higgius went and I was out of breath, and scores of others went---and they're going all the time, dear Mr. Editor. Is’nt it fearful now? Talk about elections, and worthy representatives. Why how many young men of any pluck have we herein Mr. Lord’s district—no wonder Pope got his election. If you could only see the poor milk sops who come to our house eourting, you’d ery—yes you would, in pity—to see them get out their pipes and filthy tobacco—the great loons—and smoke and grin and brag about Pope, and spit. Tib and I ge straight off to bed—and then they sneak off (I hope when they see this they’ll stay away), and go to the tavern or to write “lection” lies for the Islander. Marry them! catch us at it. Thank the stars there are a few good fellows left yet ; you saw some of them, Mr. Whelan, when you were at our house. Perhaps you may think we are too hard ; but you can’t be expected to sympa- thize. If your were a woman, sir. and had the same pluck aud type and devils (we never flatter—men do) you have now, we should have heard from you long ago. You'll hear of our meetings again. 1’m directed to draft you a line and am, sir, Yourstruly, -

Sir ,—Having had occasion to visit Lot 1 to-day, I embraced the opportunity of remaining to attend a public meeting, my object being to see how its inhabitants would receive their representative, the Hon. James Warburton, by whom the meeting was called. About 4 o’clock, p. m., the hon. gentle- man and 8. F. Perry, Esq., ascended the platform, when the former proceeded to give an account of his acts, as their re- presentative, and, in a plain and candid manner, drew a con-

trast between the past and present condition of the country ;

Several questions were submitted to the hon. gentleman, which were eee re The meeting approved of the Land Rarchase Bill; but expressed regret that, to all a aes ey they would not participate in its benefits. The ands of Lot I being under lease, the people seemed to imagine that it was not likely that the owners would sell, yet several said that they would willingly pay their proprietor, if a loss would accrue to the revenue from a measure so well calculated to set the land question at rest, and free the Island from pro- a control. A leading elector of Lot 1 then addressed Mr. Warbarton, und said, “Sir, you will find that Lot 1 will not — ungrateful,”’ Three cheers were given to the hon. geutieman, the Government, and then fur what was said to be of thore value than any Goyernment, viz: “ The present con- s‘'tation of Government as now established ’? — the depart- — system being approved of.

was upset. The father clung to the boat and was picked up, but the son was drowned. ‘They were returning home with provisions, &c. ; : Since the above was penned, we have been furnished with the following particulars of disasters, from a person who was down the river during the storm. On Wednesday, 22nd, a boat coming into Tracadie Cully from the fishing ground, upset, and three hands were lost. They belong to either Caraquet or Shippegan, names unknown. ‘The same day two boats came ashore, bottom up, between Tracadie and Tabus- intae—names of ownersunknown. ‘Two boats were seen from the establishment of Geo. E. Letson, Esq., bottem up. out in the bay. ‘The pilots report that they met several boats in the same position in the Gulf. Fears are entertained that there has been a considerable loss of property on the coast, as well as of human life. - This morning we learn from a person who has just arrived from Tracadie tat 29 dead bodies have been picked up on the beach. Another report has just reached us that 60 boats are supposed to be lost, owned by parties living between Neguae and Tracadie, and that 51 dead bodies have been icked up between these two places. It is calculated that 200 ats were out fishing, and many more disasters it is feared have oceurred. The Master of a Coaster arrived this morning from Shediac, informs us that he put into Egmont Bay, P. E. Island, during the storm, and he counted 130 American fishimg crafts that there had also run in for shelter. He states that there was great destruction among the fishing boats, a number haying floated ashore. We understand that intelligence has been obtained that several vessels have been lost in the St. Lawrence.

New Brvunswicx.—The partial elections in this Province, consequent on the recent change of Government, have been determined in favor of the official candidates ; in two or three of the Counties the Ministerialists were returned without op- position. Notwithstanding all we have heard respecting the Colonies growing tired of the departmental system of Govern- ment, every one of them adheres to it most tenaciously. New Brunswick has certainly evinced no desire to get rid of it. .

Tur steamer Westmorland, engaged for the Mail Service of this Island, is daily expected to arrive here. She left Moncton a few days ago, to call at Halifax, and will proceed thence to Charlottetown.

ARRIVAL OF THE ENGLISH MAIL. Tne Mail Packet arrived from Pictou yesterday (Sunday) about one o’clock, bringing the English, Colonial and Foreign Mails. Latest dates are to the 19th ult. The following ex- tracts furnish the most important of the European news :—

THE GREAT INDIAN MUTINY.

The mutiny is all but universal in Bengal and the north- west provinces; nearly 30,000 men have disappeared from the army within the last few weeks. The Bombay Times supplies the following details:—‘The great Brahim con- federacy of the Bengal army has declared itself openly against the Government, and by the process of mutiny, disbandment, and disarming, between twenty and thirty thousand soldiers of the empire have vanished from the ranks of the army in thelast month. The Bombay and the Madras sepoys are ‘ true to their salt and act like Bahadoors,’ but a symptom of disaffection having been manifested in the ranks of either. In this presidency, we have had touching proof of the loyalty of tie sepoys. The station of Nusseera-

ments of Bengal Infantry, through the drain upon our forces for Persia, the only troops there belonging to our army were two hundred and fifty men of the Ist Lancers.

Delhi, and after a vain attempt to seduce our Lancers to join them, openly mutinied on the 28th ultimo, Our gal- lant fellows charged them repeatedly, although the rebels had got possession of the guns of the station and outnum- bered them eight toone. ‘The odds were, however, too long, and the Lancers were compelled finally to retreat upou Ajmere, thereby securing the safety of the important arsenal at that station. The mutincers having marched in the direction of Delhi, our troops finaliy returned to, and have re-occupied Nausseerabad. The mutiueers frem tp at Delhi on the morning of Monday, May,

We know little of the exact scenes which ae : and imagination hesitates to lift the veil from them. We hear, however, that about fifty helpless women and children who had hid themselves in the palace on the outbreak were

subsequently discoveyed, and

the Delhi gates, and most of the Subahdars and Jemadars are promoted to generals and field marshals, whilst the Sepoys are receiving, and are always to continue to receive, 14 rupees a month. The Sappers and Miners were ordered into Meerut from Roorkee immediately upon the mutiny having transpired. The day after their arrival a portion of them, about four hundred, mutinied, and shot their command- ing officer, Fraser. They then made off towards Delhi, but were pursued by two squadrons of the Carabineers, who over- took them about six miles off, and killed forty-seven of them. One of the Carabineers was killed, and two or three were wounded, Col. Hogg amongst the latter. The course of the mutiny now takes us to Ferozepore. About two o’clock on the 13th ultimo, three days after the rising at Meerut, it was whispered through the cantonment that the men were bent on mutiny. The garrison consisted of the 45th and 57th Regiments Native Infantry, and the 16th Native Light Cavalry, with a part of H. M. 6lst Foot. The men were at once ordered to parade on their respective grounds, and

the European women and children were removed into the

entrenched magazine. The Sepoys came to a halt in the

Suddur bazaar, and refused to advance a step; they now

loaded their muskets, and advanced upon the magazine, which

fortunately was held by a company of Her Majesty’s 61st

Regiment. <A party of the 57th Regiment, off duty, but in

the magazine, threw sealing ladders and ropes over the walls

to the men outside, who immediately crossed the moat and

scaled the fort. About 300 hundred of them thus gained

ingress to the magazine, and hurrahing made for the gate

which afforded access to the ordnance stores. They were met

by five files of the 61st, under Col. Redmond, who poured a

volley into their ranks which staggered them, and upon two

more companies of that corps marching in to the rescue, the

mutineers were driven out at the point of the bayonet. The

company ef 57th Regiment inside the magazine was quickly

disarmed, and lest the magazines of the two native regiments

should fall into the hands of the mutineers, they were blown

up by the Artillery from the fort. At night the mutineers

fired the church, the Roman Catholic chapel, two hospitals,

Her Majesty’s 61st mess-house, and a dozen bungalows, but

were driven out of the station and dispersed the next day.

Many of these men have since returned to camp, giving up

their arms, and stating their willingnes to be shot. It is

pleasing, in the midst of such general disaffection, to notice

the loyalty with which the 10th Regiment Light Cavalry

behaved in this mutiny, not a suspicion attaching to officers

or men, who are reported thoroughly trustworthy. We have

now to return to the neighbourhood of Delhi for our next

episode in this eventful story. The 9th Regiment Native

lnfantry, stationed at Allyghur, was believed to be thorough-

ly loyal, and had given strange proof of the sincerity of their

professions,

Tux Avencinc Army Bevore DeLat-—ConFi Ts WITH THE Murtinrers. — And now for the measures which have been taken in this emergency. A powerful force is converging upon Delhi, the importance of an. early recapture of which is very great. The most unaccountable deiay seems to have characterised the movements of General Anson, the news of whose death by cholera at Kurnaul on the 27th ultimo took all India by surprise. General Barnard, the next in com- mand upon the spot, must, we think, have reached Delhi by this time, and we are hourly awaiting the news of its capture. He has a considerable force with him, and it is not likely that the mutineers will be able to make a long stand against him. Pending the advance of the force, the mutineers had moved out of Delhi, and attacked the Meerut division which had occupied the village of Ghadeenuggur, equidistant between these places. They were speedily routed by the Rifles, and lost the five guns with which they advanced to the attack. Not discouraged, they made a second attack on the 31st ultimo with the same result, and since then we are without information of their movements. Our loss in these attacks was occasioned mainly by the explosion of a magazine, which placed forty-four of the Rifles in the list of killed and wounded. The army advancing on Delhi is composed as follows :—2 troops of Horse Artillery, 9th Lancers, 1 squadron 4th Lancers, her Majesty’s 75th Foot, Ist Fusiliers, 6 companies 2nd Fusiliers. ‘The Meerut force, which will unite with it, is as fullows: —6th Carabineers, 60th Rifles, 4 Horse Arrtil- lery guns, a horse battery, 2 18-pounders, 120 artillery recruits, and some Sappers, Sirmoor battalion.

Mr. Greathead, agent to the Licutenant- Governor, writes from Begore Delhi, June 8:— We have made good our point to-day, and are now encamped on the parade ground with the heights between the cantonement and the city in our hands, and in a position to commence the siege atonce. The enemy had taken up a strong position at a Budulla Serai, which was carried with the capture cf all the guns. ‘The pursuit was so sharp that the gunners threw themselves off their horses, and left the field pieces standing on the road. The heavy guns remain in possession. T'wenty- six guns in all have been captured to-day, and large quanti- ties of entrenching tools.” Weare sorry to hear that some of the mutineers are believed to have reached Nagpore, and that others were penetrating still further south. The object of these villains appears to be to reach the Nizam’s dominions, where doubtless they expect to succeed in their mission of strife and bloodshed. The authorities were on the alert, however, and would no doubt bring to a speedy termination the career of any of the apostles of evil who should chance to fall into their hands,

THE LATE ITALIAN INSURRECTION.

There seems to be little doubt that the late insurrection in Italy will result in a demand that the political refuges through- out Europe must be kept under stricter surveillance. At the time of the arrest of Limprandi in Paris, the police obtained possession of a key to the Mazzinian cypher, which enabled

going on day by day. The Sardinian Government is reported to have seized at Genoa precise instructions for an attempt

‘to assassinate the Emperor of the French. The fullest pub- | licity is to be given to the revelations produced by the late arrests throughout Italy and France, which, it is said, will astound Europe.

A Naples letter says :—‘ The steamer Caglias has been brought here and moored near the pier, and a de. tachment of gendarmerie placed on board her. Theeaptajy of the vessel has undergone an examination, at which he protested his good faith, and declared that both he and his crew had acted from compulsion. The sailors were after.

wards interrogated separately, and they all made a similar declaratien. The investigation into the affair is going oq with the utmost minuteness.” From the vessel the few prisoneis, who had been kept in chains during the vo were taken, with manacles round their wrists, to the pri

of the Vicaria. It is still doubtfull whether these persons were taken on board the Cagliari or on land. The authors of the expedition, who originally left Genoa, were not more than 31 in number. By how many they were followed from Vonza is unknown. There were about 250 exiles in the Isle of Ponza, and it is uncertain whether the whole body follow. ed the conspirators. The great portion of these exiles are confined by order of the police for various d of dis. honesty and for theft. The recent attempt, bold and dashi as it was, has awakened little sympathy amongst the Nea. politan liberals.

UNITED STATES.

THE NEW YORK RIOTS—SEVENTY PERSONS KILLED AND WOUNDED.

So many serious affrays, resulting so fatally, have not occurred in the city for many years. Tbere is no doubt that much of the trouble was owing to the disorganized state of the police department.

THE FIRST RIOT.

On the morning of the fourth, at abowt an hour before daybreak, a bloody riot occurred, of which the Courier & Enquirer gives the following account :—

“ The disturbance first commenced at about 2 0’clock in the morning, when a party of Siath Warders calling themselves ‘ The Dead Rabbit Club,’ made a violent attack with clubs and stones on the public house, No. 40 Bowery, the windows of which they stove in with stones and bricks, and wounded three persons. Information was sent to the 10th and 13th Ward police stations, and the whole reserve force was ordered out, and soon put the rioters to flight. The latter retreated to Buayard-street, and when near the Five Points, attacked a party of young men, wounding several severely, and fracturing the skull of S. Wilson, 25 years of age, with a blow from a club. A lull here took place in the proceedings of the Dead Rabbit Club, but about 5 o’clock in the afternoon the disturbance was renewed by an attack upon a squad of police who were marching tothe Seventh Ward, and who the Dead Rabit boys thought were about to take them in eustody. The rowdies were armed with pistols, knives, clubs, stones, &c., and they made a simultaneous attack upon the police, but were driven back and had several of their number arrested.

‘The news soon reached the White-street station house, and thirty more policemen were despatched to assist their comrades. By this time the rioters had retreated to the tops of the houses, and rained down bricks, stones, &c., upon the police. They also fired pistols and muskets at them. The

police, however, escaped serious injury, and captured about |

a dozen of the rioters, who were locked up. At this juncture, the Bowery boys took sides with the police, and a frightful scene of riot and bloodshed ensued. The Rabbits fired their pistols, and threw down stones and bricks from the tops of the houses upon the others. A large number were wounded, and some mortally. A portion of the rioters barricaded Mulberry-st., near Bayard, with carts, waggons, horse ear- riages, and timber, and built a similar barricade in Bayard- street, near Elizabeth-street. From behind these the « Dead Rabbits’ and Bowery boys were continually firing at each other with muskets, pistols, &c., and two or three were killed and a large number wounded. Two of the dead rioters, who were shot from the top of a house in Bayard-street, were taken to the White-street station house, and another to the Seventh Ward station.

‘One hundred additional policemen were sent to quell the riot, and they succeded, about 7 o’clock in the evening, ia removing the barricades and in restoring partial order. A requisition was made by the Police Commissioners upon Major General Sanford, who ordered out the 7th, 8th, and 71st Regiments ; but the riot was quelled by the police, and the troops were not brought into service.”

A list is then given of six persons killed, and twenty-five wounded. Two of the latter are hopeless cases, and seven are dangerous.

OTHER RIOTS ON SATURDAY.

A party of 400 or 560 men and boys assembled at the foot of Jackson street, at about 44 o'clock on the afternoon of the fourth and commenced a general fight. The 7th and 13th ward police were soon on the spot, and at their a the fighting ceased, and after remaining a short time, the force

started to return, but were followed by the crowd and pelted with stones, brickbats, &c. They rallied and in repulsing the rioters, but not before several policemen were

dangerously wounded. ‘

In the Sixth Precinct, corner of Bayard and Elizabeth streets, about 5 P. M., the * Dead Rabbits ” attacked several policemen. A squad of thirty or forty police came to the rescue, and after several officers were injured, they succeeded in arresting a large number of the Rabbits.

After the officers left the scene of riot with their prisoners, and others taken away, the Rabbits and Bowery Boys con tinued fighting, during which several were shot, some bei killed, and others seriously wounded and taken to the hospi

One feature worthy of notice in the riot of Saturday, is the fact—on which all reports agree-—of the number of boys engaged in the disturbance. A large proportion of the killed aor wounded were lads under sixteen. It is notorious ee

€ crimes against property in the city—the burglaries, thefts, and sakele so mostly Saaliied S boys and quite young men. of the rowdy societies following some of the killed to the grave, that a great proportion of the mourners were though with most villainous and old countenances.

It is certainly one of the worst signs for a community when its crime is chiefly among the young. If the lads of the city are its scoundrels and crimivals—if they can disturb public security and endanger property and rouse the wild passions of the animal among our lowest classes—it is time
