Ion now with the ﬂ1’lll_\' in the Ci-iiuca, and which appears in it i-cligloiis periodical which r. Doiidncy conducts. Lord lloden says:— “ I cannot help again \\'1‘ILlIIg to you to thank you for ‘our irayers, and those whom you have Interested in elialf of my dear son, now Limite- Ilant-Colonel Jocelyn, in the Crimea. He has come out of the two bloody battles of Alina and lnkerinan. in both of which lie was in the hottest ofthe tire, with his regiment, the Scots Fusileer Guards. Many were killed about him. His company marched into th» I-attle of Inker- man ﬁfty-four in number, an .l t‘.tlllU out twenty- Iix; yctlie came out with llIf!l)‘I untouched. Since then he has been tiiiil.-i'_gmiIi«,:. in common with many others, the grea?.~st |iardsl:ips,iicvcr having taken olf his clothes since the ltith of Septembenoften slecpingiu them, when drench- ed with rain, in the open air: ii.--.~er having Ile tina house for nearly nine months, and lti l without any baggage, when he wrote on the 28th ol'Dee. ; and yet he says :—‘ 1 do not know what it is to feel ill, altliougli sickness is all around me. I put down iuy safety and pre- servation entirely to those blessed prayers which have been olli-red upon my behalf by you and your dear friends, who have been le to ra for me.’ An he says in another letter; ‘I hope you will not worry yourself on my account, for I am in God's keeping. and I often say to myself, that in reality. I am just as safe here as il'I were in St. Jaincs's-street-. for nota hair ofiny head can be touched without His will. and, although I have many linrdsliips and lulfcrings, He can and does support me."

In connexion with this young and gallant ollicer, we are enabled to mention an incident which reflects the highest credit on the Qiicen. and which will, we are sure, ail lI'(I the greatest

ratiﬁcation to all her solijei-ts. It is well

nown that Lady Uaii sborougli, the sister of Lieutcnaiit—‘Colonel Jocelyn, is one of her Ma- jesty's greatest favourites at Court, and ' more in her society, perhaps, than any other of I|lngland's noble dazigliters. When the dos-

atclies giving the details of the battle of In- teruiann and the list of killed and wounded arrived at the War Ollicc, a telegraphic. despatcli was forwarded to her Majesty at Windsor announcing the fact, and adding that they would be iininediatcly sent to her. Laily Gains- borough was with her .\lajcsty at the time, and, Is might be expected, was in a. state ofiutense anxiety to learn what had been the fa.tc of her brother, at one time hoping.tlie be.-‘t,and atotliers, knowing how ciioruous our losses were. fearing the worst. ller .\Iujci~t_v. with ajiiilgiiicnt and feeling, to which it would be impossible to do 'ustice, soon after withdrew from the apart- ment in which she and Lady Gainsborough had been,an-l,calling the servant whose duty it was to deliver the di-spatc‘ic:s from the War Olﬁceintolicrliaiids.d::sired him not to bringtlicm into the usual room, ifLa.il_v liaiiisborougli were present, but to put them into an adjoining Ipartincnt, and unobserved intimate to her Majesty that they had arrived. Lady (3ain.~ibo- tough was with licr.\la_iest_v. when the dcspatcli- on were received. and they were put into another tooin in accordance with the Qiieeii‘s wishes. Her Majesty hurried away to the room in whicli Che dcspatclies were left, snatched tlirni up, opened them. anil eager y ran her eye over the list of killed and wounded ollici-rs in Lieut- Colonel Jocclyii’s regiment. Finding that he had est-.apcd.—not being even wound-'d.——ln-r Majesty ruslicd into the a iartuient where Lady Gaiiishorough was, a.nd, org.-ttiug for the ino- lnent the Queen in the woman. and setting the rules of court etiquette at nought. threw her arms around Lady Uains‘ooroiigli's l1(‘('h, iind Ixclaiincd, with an einpliasis wliich caiiiiot be described—‘' lIc's safe 3 he's safe !“

'I‘hc force of such an incident would only be weakened by anything in the shape of coinincnt. It would not be easy to iiiiagiiie it cireiimstancc more calculated to endear her Majesty to her lubjeets.

The distaiice is such that the shell! and bullets have several times ploughed up our camp. Our service consists of izuariling the trenches and working at them. The guard re- turns every three days. The battalion leaves at 7 o‘i-lock in the morning, passes round the ravina, and enters the trenches afier two hours’ march, and without any marked route. They deﬁle one by "M in the passages of communication, and we are i,-eiicrnlly given 400 meters to guard. pass in the 91 hours under every sort of weather and wiihoiit shelter. having nothing whatever to amuse: us exr-«pi the parabola: described by the shells. the infernal dim of mortars, varied by the wliislling of cannon balls and bullets.

On "liursday sc'night to at numerous audi- ence cillected in the Teiupcraiiee llall, did this geutleinan give a most interesting lecture on l)i.~itillatiou. There was a small Still in opera- tion, placed beside the Lecturer, who had pre- viously separated a bushel of Barley into a certain number of portions, for the 5)tll'p0SG of showing practically, how much goo food was ex J(.‘IIlIC(.I, in order to enable a man to drink a gallon of Ale, and by the same means, experi- mentally convincing the most obtuse, that the waste of the means of sustenance bore no pro- por‘ion to the gratification afforded by the excitement produced whether in the shape of Ale or Alcohol. It was proved to ma- thematical certainty, that if the millions of bushels of grain annually consumed the in parent Isles in the manufacture of Ale and Wliiskey, were converted into money, an judiciously employed in the furtherance of education, the erection of Cr stal Palaces, Bo- tanic Gardcnsand places of public resort for the purpose of pleasure and recreation, immense national advantages would result therefrom, and the people be more contented, besides being inlinit_-ly hctter oﬁ'. We are not a.blo to follow the lecturer through the various processes by lIt'll he showed, that in order to convert a bushel of barley into Ale. upwards of ﬁve-sixths think) were expended in the payment of the malster. brewer and the duties to the revenue, leaving one-sixth only to the consumer, and that even this paltry remnant did not con- tain as much nutrinientasa penny roll ; nothing could be iuore convincing We were glad to hear the moderate tone which the lecturer took. IL deprecated the idea of abusing brewers, ilistillcrs and importers, as long. says he. as the Queen in the Mother Countr her re-

rescntative here. with the niciubers of the lcuch. tlze liar and the Pulpit indulgc-——inodcr- atcly of coursi-—and as long as it is no disgrace for llll‘In to drink wine and ale, so it cannot be any in those who either nianufacture or import the article for their use. There were several present who disagreed with the lecturer. we think without reason, If all people high and low. rich and poor. could agree to make moderate use of wine, ale, or spirits, there woul- be no need for 'l‘ciupcraiice, or Total abstinence societies lint we know that they cannot. llllll the only question is, have the nia- iority a right to say. since we cannot use these articles without abusing them and as this abuse is the source of national and individual distress, we will irobibit their manufacture and importation altogetlicrl Should the expe- riincnt which is now in the course of trial in the United States and other places succeed, should it have the ctlect of raising the people among whom it is adopted. to that height of natioiiiil prosperity and refinement, which it is justly expected it will do—if really and truly carried out—tliere is no doubt, but that gradu- ally the whole civilized world will adopt it. And such lcetures us that we are now treating of will go a great way to clicct a change in the opinions of the rising gciicrations. We l

We never pretend to give an opinion upon the performances ofiniisicians, being unac uainted with the divine art, though, judging lrom the excution of a medley composed ‘of several of those familiar household tunes with which all are accquainted, and which formed a part of the entertainment that was 10a and loudly applauded, we should say that it was excellent and highly creditable to the amateurs of whom the band was coiuposcd. The singing wag allowed by 9.1 to be very superior, and the solos given b Mrs. Warren, the wife of Mr. Varren the Artist, called forth re eated and unanimous bursts of applause. ‘here were addresses to have been given during the course of the evening. but the gentlemen who were to have delivered them were unavoidably absent upon professional and other business. A short improm tu but appropriate address was made by Heat Ilaviland. Esq., M. ’. P.. which was well received. The Hon. George Coles, M. P.P. at the conclusion of the Concert, rose for the purpose of moving a vote of thanks to the adios and other aiiiateurs, and took occasion to say, that although the sum of £2000 which be had the liouor of proposin in the House of Assemdly, had met with tie opposition of soiiio of the members, as being more than the colony could well afford, yet he was now convinced from the appearance of the Hall. on this evening, that the Country would sustain him, and he felt assured that when the private contributions, and the sum raised this evenin , were added to the Provincial grant, it woufd ount o a sum in whic Prince Edward Island the smallest ofllcr .\lajesty’s North Ame- rican Colonies. hcr population and resources being taken into consideration, might well by road. The Hon. gcntlcinnn made several other and appropriate remarks, complimented the amateur choir and Mrs. Warren, who being a Swede came forward the more readil because she had severely felt the aggrcsions of t ie despot of the Nortli, upon her native land. He then proposed that the thanks of the meeting be given by acclaination to the Ladies and Gentle- men by wlioso exertions and under whose management the present critertaiiinicnt had been so well got up, and so crcditably sus- tained. The approbation of the meeting was ascertained by the gentlemen present rising unauiinously a.nd giving tirce cud and hearty cheers, John I‘idu-ell, Es-q.,rcspoiided to the coinplinicnt in belialf of tie adics. The National Antliciu was then sung, the audience all standing. and thus tcriuinated one o t a best conducted. and altogctlier most satisfac- tory public eiitcrtaiiimciit. that we ever remem- bcr to have been pi-est-at at in Cliarlottetowu.
