THE AWARD OF THE LAND COMMISSION.

Ir is generally reported that the English Mail, received here on Sunday afternoon, brought out the Award of the Land Commission, or at least some coumunication from the Colonial Minister on the subject. The members of the Government walked through the Legislative Halls to-day, (Monday), evidently with perturbed spirits—not inclined for the despatch of public business—sullen-—not com- municative—not disposed to deny that there had been so.ne imperial missive about the Award; but

that were put in the way of the Commissioners | and the Counsel for the tenantry, by withholding |

Catnoite Young Men's Lirerary Instirvte. —On Thursday evening last, Mr. Edward Reilly read a lecture before the aboye Institute, on “ ‘ibe art of Printing, its invention and importance.” The lectare was well written, and weil read, and was listened to by the audience in attendance with evi- dent satisfaction. Mr. Reilly gave the history of the inveution of Printing trom the time of Gutten- burg, Faust, and William Caxton, the fathers of the art, to the present time. He then deseribed in an interesting Wanner the method in whieh Printing is carried on in China. The next part of the sub- jeet—the importance of the art,was treated in a very able style. Its importance was shewn in diffusing knowledge amongst the masses, which previously had been coufined to the wealthy. The lecturer dwelt chietly on the benetits of the news: r press. In conclusieu, he shewed that the Printing office Was au excellent school for training and de- veloping the mental faculties ; and that it had given many eminent philosophers, statesmen, and literary characters to the world.

‘The lecturer was warmly complimented by the President, and the speakers who took part in the discussion which ensued after the lecture.

On Thursday evening next, J.J. Daly, Esq., will lecture “On England, her past, present, and future.”

A very extruordinary admission was made by the Hon. Col. Gray in the course of the debate on the Governor's Speech. He said he bad written to Mr. Thomson, as one of the Counsel for the Tenantry | before the Land Commissioners’ Court, recommend- ing that gentleman to urge uponthe Commissioners the propriety of awarding « remission of arrears of rent toa period within four years of that time. There is no doubt that the (No. 2.)

THe Troops ror Canapa.—The Newport ‘News’ vublishes the subjoined extracts from a private letter written in New Brunswick :—

“They suy that England is preparing to recog- nise the Southern Contederacy. ‘Troops are pour- ing into Canada through St. John and Halifax. One hundred etScers have passed through Sack- ville, in one of the heaviest snow storins we have had for years; about five miles from here they had to get out of the sleighs and break the road for the horses. The soldiers went round by water to St. John, where Trinity school-house, the 'Tem- perance Hall, and indeed all the Sunday schoel- houses have been fitted ups temporary barracks. Among the regiments are the Scotch Fusiliers, and the Guards—the latter but seldom leave Great Britain. They appear to be splendid men, even to the tall New Brunswickers; most of the officers are noblemen The enthusiasm and stir in St. John is very great; they have been feasted, stared at, and assisted in every way. The Em- peror Napoleon gave them 2000 pairs of snow- shoes, which they will find useful: and Govern- ment sent out a number of sleds to draw the guns, but so absurdly made, that no amount of horse flesh, they say, eould drag them through a drift, 80 they are piled up behind the Custom House, and a uumber of light sleds have been made here. Many troops have passed through the Provinee, but several regiments remain bere all the winter, while ovr volunteers are drilling and preparing, not that we actually expect ta ve attacked, but it is thought if we were not ready, and f were to « the South, there would be no easier way te retaliate than by marching into Canuda.”

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

( Debate continued from first page.)

Hon. Dr. JOHNSON, The decument would be of no effeet, and, therefore, it would be of little use in allaying that agitation.

Hen. Mr. PALMER. When the amendment was read I understood it to express a regret that the Award had not bee reeeived; but if it ex- presses a regret that the Commissioners have not forwarded a copy of it to this Island, I cannot agree with it, because, if they had, his Excellency would not be justifiable in making itpublic. When the Commissioners agreed to that Award it should not have been made public till it came through the Colonial Office. I believe that the act of the Commissioner, the Hap. Sir, Howe, in making the Award known has not received the approba- tion of his fellow Commissioners, por yet of the Colonial Min

Men

he confirtie it would not be justifiable to send a copy of it to this Island. ‘he Despatch of his Grace the Duke of Newcastle in refevence te the Award,mentions, that some supplementary Act may be necessary to give it etlect, It is supposed that our Legislature may have to legislate upon it; and therefore to send out a copy of it would be impolitic. The people might begin to act upon it; and afterwards various suggestions might be effered by the Colo nial Minister. I look upon it, therefore, as acting wisely to withhold the Award till it comes before Her Majesty's Ministers, and receives the royal allowance.

The motion of concurrence was then put on the amendment, and it passed in the affirmative.

The President then resumed the chair, and the chairman reported the Address agreed to.

IR—* A notice, evidently designed to diveive”

Cinaapiuch as itaceuses me of deception), signed by*, a. Mr.J. 8. Carvell, cevently loeted in this City,” having appeared io the ‘Islander’ of the 2ist inst., I beg publicly to request that individual to prove te tenth of his imputation, and te show in what respect my notics was “ designed te de- ceive,” aad where it was at variance with the facts; and while on the question ot deception, perhaps this Mr. J. 8. Carvell will kindly iuform the publie whether, at the time his advertisement of the agency of the “ Queen's” cae up- pointment was made from the Home Office or was merely a sub-agency from St. Joho, New Brunswick, and whether at that time it had re- ceived the direct sanction of the Company in Liverpool. This information may be useful to in- sending insurers. The best refutation of the tlander contained in this person’s “ Notice te the Public,” is simply to publish as below, in extenso and verbatim, te requisition referred to by tue in my notice, together with some of the names of the gentlemen who signed it. The signatures num- bered between 70 and 80. I regret that I can now only give, with certainty, the 63 named be- low. Having been informed by one of the gentle- men Who sigued the requisition that an impression, whieh he shared, pretty generally existed, that the office which Mr. Carveil advertised was THAT to which the requisition was direeted, was there any deception in simply Stating that such Was not the case, vr, in other words, that the “London and Liverpool Fire and Life Insuranee Company” was uot the “ Queen’s,” and this was the substance of my notice, containing no imputa- tion on any person or Company, and couched in language which, I think, will contrast favorably with that employed by this Mr. Carvel,

Was it not the exposure of a deception, from which he hoped to gain, which galled ‘this indivi- vidual and led to his charge against me? The coarse and unprovoked attack of this individual makes it evident that be is unaccustomed to the amenities which prevailamongst gentlemen, This perhaps, wil! excite but little surprise. It is equally clear, I think, that he does net comprehend the meaning aud force of language used, either by others or himself. And this, While it is, perbaps, the most charitable excuse to be made for him, may excite but little more wonder.

He must learn, however, that to be entitled to the privilege of even a controversy with gentlemen it is necessary for him to assume the language and bearing of a gentleman, but as it is just possible that the application of this rule might impose on this individual the penalty of silence, I have, though with some humiliation, | must confess, stuoped, tor this once, te notice his imputations, as ungentle- manly as they are malicious. He must not, how- ever, expect this honor a second time.

I do it now the more readily, because those leading merchants who kindly gave me their names share with me, I will not say, the odium of this peraon’s slander.

It is not necessary here to notice his statement, that I had applied for ~_ Ageney of the * Queen’s,” as it is not the pointin dispute. If it be necessary I can go into this matter Sacentien, and, perhaps, Mr. J. 8. Carvell will find that he will gain as little on this point as he does on that under discus sion. The publication of the names to the requi- sition is the only answer I shall make to his im- peachment of the correctness of my statement “that all the leading merchants in town signed it.” The publie will wait with interest for the pub- lication of the names of the leading merchants who did not sign it. The principal of one promi- nent firm, while he expressed himself very favor- ably to the object of the requisition, deeli igni
