upon the glscia or in the meats of the place. The last honours were paid them on the following day. Beyides General Brunet and General Mayran (the Iattu succumbed last night), we have to regret an ofiicer beloved and appreciated by the whole army,the young and brave de Labour- dnierc, a lieutenant-colonel of the artillery, killed while ascending the slope of a trench crowded with troops, and while repairing with one of hie batteries to the Brancion redcnbt. It is a heavy .Ioes; there was much promise about him. great man brave sripsrior officers were siruc down whi e setting the noblest example. oficers, regimental officers, fulfilled their wortliily, and the soldier was admirable ‘where.

We had 37 oflicers killed and 17 taken prison- ers, I-trlf rion-commissioned officers and privates killed or missing. 90 OIIIGGII and I644 men con- veyed to the ambulances on the evening of the 18th.

Many wounds considered very severe are far from being as dangerous as was at first believed. The bearers of these honorable scars will shortly tea pear beneath their colours.

Those losses have neither quenched the ardour nor abated the confidence of those valiant divisions. All they ask is to make the enemy pay dearly for that day. The hope and desire of conquest are in the hearts of all, and all reckon that in the next struggle, fortune will not disappoint valour.

I-loitsi: GUARDS, Ji;i.v 4, I855.

The General Commanding in Uhiefhas received her Majesty’e most gracious commands to express an the army the deep regret with which her Majesty has to deplore the loss of a most devoted and able officer, by the death of Field-Marslial Lord Raglan, the Commander of the Forces in the Crimea.

Her Majesty has been pleased to command that her sentiments shall be communicated to the army, in order that the military career of so illus- trious an officer shall be recorded, not only as an

honourable testimony of her Majesty's sense of

his eminent services, and the respect due to his memory. but as an example worthy of imitation by all ranks of her army.

Selected by the Duke of Wellington to be his klilitary Secretary and Aide-de-Camp, he took part. nearly fifty years ago, in all the military achievements of our greatest Commander. From him Lord Raglan adopted, as the guiding princi-

le of his life, a coastarrt undeviatir-g obedience to the call of duty.

During a long peace, his life was most usefully employed in those unwearied attentions to the interests and welfare of the army, shown by the kindness. the impartiality, and justice with which be transacted all his duties.

When war broke out last year, he was select- ed by his Sovereign to take the command of the army proceeding to the East; he never hesitated, in obeyed the summons, although he had reached no age when an officer may be disposed to retire from active duties in the field.

At the head of the troops during the arduous operations of the campaign, he resumed the ear habits of his life ; by his calmness in the hottest moments of battle, and by his perception in tak- ing advantage of the ground or the movements of the enemy, he won the confidence of his army,

and performed great and brilliant services.

In the midst ofa winter's campai II, in a severe climate, and surrounded by diflicu ties, he never

he heroic army, whose fortitude amidst the eeverest privations is recognized by.her Majesty -ee beyond all praise, have shown their attachment to their commander by the deep regret with which they now mourn his loss.

Her Majesty is confident, that the talents and virtues which distinguished Lord Raglan through- out the whole of his valuable life will for ever endear his memory to the British Arm . I

with the condition of the School in his neigh- borhood, it is no rt of his, or any other per- son's duty to pub ish falsehoods respecting it.

Having been the teacher of the New Glasgow School for the last two years, I feel called upon to contradict some of the statements of “ Fatrnior.” As there is but one School in New Glasgow, the farmer has either taken hold of

his on, as he would his plough, with the in- tention of turning things upside down, or he has failed through ignorance or fear to write in language that will convey the idea that any other School is meant. Whatever the wi-itcr’e intentions may have been, it is certain, that the impression is itliroii.d,that Mr. Stark has re ort- ed unfavorubly of the New Glns otv Sc ool, owing to some misunderstanding ictween him and the Teacher. Now nothing of the kind ever existed. and I hope never shall exist be- tween that gentlcmen and myself, and even though there should, I entertain too high on opinion of him to think, that he would give an incorrect report of the School on that account. But as many who have read " A Farmer's” :reinarks may probably have never seen the Visitor's Report-, it wil be but justice to Mr. Stnrk,as well as to the School of my native settlement for me to state, that he reported it to be above the average.

Mr. I-iditor, the truth of the proverb, viz: “that it is impossible to please everybody” has been verified in Mr. Stsrk‘s case. In had scatrcely set his foot on our shores before the cry was raised, chiefly by the party opposed to tho Govcrtiincnt which appointed him. t was not it iiiaiii ofleoruing. and that he knew vcry little nbout Agrriciiltural Chemistry. \Vas it fair that he, being :1 stranger, iiliould so soon become an object of party spleen I lie had rim-or supported the party that had itppointcd him. therefore he should have been treated by all p~.ii-ties alike. Others agnin say, that-‘ some people are given to bclieve,that they have some- thing great in something new." Wliut his acquirerncnts uiny e, I run unable to say. but I am satisfied that he is well able to discliai-go the duties of School Inspector for this Island.

But. Mr. Editor. the turns of‘ trial came round, the general Election of 1853. Iinyself did not then perccive,that things were as bad as I afterwards discovered them to be. and felt disposed to give aorne ofthe members ofthe former House a further trial; but the election terminated, however, in favour of the party the Responsibles call tories, andimmedi. ntely afterwards arose the petitions to dissolve the House, on the ground that some few of the members had deceived their constituents. _need not inform you, Mr. Editor, where those Petitions came from- they came frorii the Liberal Reform Association in Charlottetown: the people in the Country never thought ofsuch a thing. I myself began about this time to get my eyes open to what I now believe was a bumbng cry—'l‘eirv and Linnaan, and deter- mined to offer my services to the Electors ofthe District; but having boon appointed to the ofiice of Commissioner of‘ lloirda for the Fourth District, by Mr. Coles’ governriicnt, and as the electoral district I had determined to ofler for was the district in which Ireaided, and the same District which Mr. Colee had been previously returned for, a hue and cr ' was raised Waa_I going to desert riiy party.’ \I’ua I going to oppose the man that appointed me to office? and after a thousand and one other arguments, threiits and promises, I was induced to relinquish the idea of offering.

My appointment was not my own seekiu ,it was made at the request of n number of‘ my neig hours; owevar, previous to the Election, a friend of urine, .\lr. Lawrence llogan, who was favourable to Mr. Colee, asked him at a public ineetting, at Saw Mill Bridge, ifl was to retire from the contest, would I not be re-appointed to my office P Mr. Colea re lied, in presence ofull present, amongst whom were antes Miller, Esq., Mr. l".dw.-ird Basset, Mr. W. Carroll, and Mr. Jeremi-.ili Mriher, that if he was returned with a majority, that I should; and more, shaking me by the liiind he said. he should never forget me. Not wishing to judge harshly ofthe party whom I had hitherto supported. and being desirous of giving them nnotlier tri . I was induced to retire from the contest, to the greiit relief of .\Ir.

But to shew you how cos it is for the man who is everlaistirigly boosting at his friendship for the poor mart, to lm-iik his promise, when again placed high in office.

Wnrburton, as expressed by himself; but this great rrinri, George Colee, appointed a wealthy I-rrrrrmr, residing almost at the extreme end of the district. to whom it is said he is under pecuniary obligations.

If there had been any charge against me, I think I should not have been treated worse thin the Tour Government, that he has so often abused, treated his Father, who when he was Road Commissioner had charges re- ferred against him; but he was not dismissed unti he lied ll fair triirl, and then Iiaviisg been found guilty. he was dlsiiiis.-ted.
