Sin,—As every thing which tends to draw forth the resources, or leads to develope the ie sta and interests of the Island, meets with a ready and warm response from you, and finds admittance in the columns of the * Fxaminer,’ L hepe you will have the kindness to give insertion to the foliowing communication, Asif is obvious when the wilderness is reelaimed that new settlements spring up, and as it is natural that these new settlements are soon called by some respective and distinguishing ames, which names often proceed from some absurd or jocose appel- lation of an isolated individual, whieh at a subse- quent period may be found totally inappropriate and inapplicable. Just so with this leeality, viz., the Quaginire, which, in place of being a quagmire, is a thriving, beautiful settlement, with two well lardered, commedious Hotels, Mechanic Shops, Post Office and Schoolhouse, and likewise some handsome, comfortable farmers’ houses, and is situated at the head of Grand River, or Ellis River, Richmond Bay, has a junction of four roads, one leading to St. Eleanor’s and Summerside, one to Richmond Bay, ong to Egmont I ud the other to Pert Hill, Caxeumnpee and Ti in short to all parts of the Westward; indeed it may be truly ‘and justly denominated the Key of the West. There are also a number of Saw Mills, Grist Mills, and a good Carding Machine in the immediate vicinity, and a Steam Mill nearly completed by an enterprising gentleman of the name of Barlow, who has already a Saw Mill, Grist Mill and Card- ing Machine in full operation. In every sense all appear siniling aud prosperous, and. no sign of a quagmire can be seen in this charming and lovely Edenite settlement.

The latter only are accountable | for the expenditure of the publie money. It they | skirk the responsibity, they are unworthy of the ; position. If His Excellency chooses to aceept it exclusively, he practically declaros himself to be not the right man in the right place. The ‘Islander’ will, no doubt, attempt to con- strue this plain speaking into an attack upon the Lieut. Governor, and raise a fearful fuss about disrespect to the “ Queen's Representative.” It is no attack upon his Excellency. We have a hieher respect for the Queen’s Representative than inost of his incompetent advisers. We shall aiways profoundly veuerate the office of Lieut. Governor, when it is administered with wisdom, justice and impartiality. We wish to see its oc- cupant holding @ position far above the turmoil of party polities. When he descends from that po- sition, we suppose he is impelled by an amiable weakness to do 8 good turn for those whe flatter and fawn upon him? and then he becomes not an object of hate, but a subject for sympathy and sorrowful respect. This is not the first time Mr. Dundas has been led into a scrape by his unpopi- lar advisers; — the best wish we can have for sir him {s—a speedy riddance of them all. ee THE MAN WITH THE « UNCLEAN HANDS” KEEPS THEM STILL UN- CLEAN. Tue ‘Islander’ of Friday last is disercetly silent with regard to Mr. Pope’s attempt at a Libel suit agninst us. He has not one word to say in his Ho has been shown out of Court in the most humiliating manner. But what has he done since to show that he is worthy of being continued in the office of Colouial Secretary? The Leader of the Government said in open Court, that Mr. Pope could not be continued one hour unless he was allowed to prove that the charges against him were unfounded. Mr. Pope himself said nearly the same thing before the Grand Jury. The Go- vernment and Seerctary were most signally foiled in their applications to the Supreme Court and Grand Jury. Wher and where has his character been whitewashed since the failure? He has not even tried a civil action, because he knows he dare not bring such an action to an issue. He feels too painfully the fact, that his hands are “ unclean.” But what must the country think of tie Govern- ment who retain this officer, when the President of the Executive Council declared in open Court, that, under present circumstances, the Chief Clerk of the Council and Colonial Secretary is a dis- graced officer — having serious charges against him, which remain unexamined and unanswered, because the judicial tribunals would not give him extraordinary privileges over his opponent?

A REVIEW FOR THE VOLUNTEERS. Ir there mischievious to the true interests of a country than another it is the military alarmists. If these in red or grey coats were satisfied is any class of individuals more monomaniacs with wasting their own time and means in parading about in all the , of glorious war "—if they were contented with concerning the great feats of arme “ pomp and circumstance gasconading which they will some day accomplish, we could afford to laugh at their whims, or moralise 02 their follies. But when these alarmists are able to draw a considerable sum from the public treasury, and thus overburthen the people with taxation, to support what are gravely calied “military forees,” it becomes the duty of those who disapprove of such things to speak against them publicly, as the great niass of men of com. mon seuse speak agajnst them in private circles. The alarmist always finds a number of persons who lend a willing ear to the statement that your neighbour is only watching a fitting opportunity to cut your throat. He thus turns the public mind, in some degree, from seeking after useful reforms to dwell upon imaginary fears. He creates enmities between persons and countries whose interest it is to be upon friendly terms. He eventually brings on the miseries and horrors ot war against which he imagines he is guarding. With all their shrewdness and intelligence, no people are more subject to fears of foreign inva- sion than the peopleof the British Empire. When Lord Palmerston wished to turn the attention of the English people from “ Refori,” he aroused the public mind to the alleged dangers of French invasion. ‘The Emperor of France, it was urged, was increasing his navy to an alarming extent, for ne other purpose than to land a large force upon the navy rapidly increased, iron-clad ships built, the Volunteer movement inaugurated, and “ re- form’ forgotton. The men who raise their voices against these follies, asa matter of course, are denounced as traitors to their country by the wily politicians; and the British subject is heavily, unnecessarily, hopelessly, taxed for every thing he eats, drinks, or wears, from the time he comes forth from his mother’s womb until he descends into his mother earth. But men like Mr. Cobden, who have rendered important services to their country, and whose patriotism cannot be doubted, will, itis trusted, undo the evils which the alarmists would fain perpetuate.

Lut before offering our comments and explanations, we must allow our readers to satisfy their impatient curiosity by perusing the extraordinary decament :— INKERMAN House, 10th May, 1862. My Dear Sir; Tam duly favored with yours of the 5th inst., stating that the Tenantry on 5] are jn ignoranee respecting ‘the way in which the Award wae assed by the Legislature.”’ I am much surprised that this should be the case, as your Township is the property of one of the gigners to the submission. The way in which the Award was passed was, “by the bringing in a Bill to confirm it in every particular.” It was not in our power tp | one part and reject another,—we had only the choice of confirming it wholly and entirely or re- jecting it altogether, = : ~ ‘Fhis Award, you are ayare, is the result of certain resolutions which I brought before the House of Assembly in May, 1559, praying for “a Court of Enquiry between landlord and tenant, with a view to ameliorate the position of the lat- ter, and fix a fair price at which every tenant may become a frecholder on easy terms, and for a re- mission of arrears of rent in such cases where it might reasenably be asked for.” gives every tenant the right of purchase, the rates to be fixed by three arbitrators on the spot, and remits all arrears up to May, 1558, being within one year of the day I passed the resolutions. to save the individual writer about 4d. or 64d., which is, of course, charged against the public revenue -— we cannot but regard it as a State Document, embodying the views of the whole Executive Government, and therefore we consider it our duty to publish it, in erder that we may expose the misstatements and misrepresentations it contains,and saye,if possible, even the people of ment?

Bat we have carefully examined the original, and thery they are— £100,000 ix set down as the Price of 20,000 acres at 2s. 6d. per acre; and £50,000 ag the price of the same qnantity of land at Is. 34, an acrs. One can hardly suppose that a Perwop presuming to be regarded as an educated — would make such a tremendous blender, jut is is either a blunder or a deception. We are mg clined to think it is the latter. Ay person ean easily see at a glance that 80,000 acres at 2. 64, an acre would not come to oae hundred thousand pounds, but ouly ten thousand pounds; and, at js, 3d. an acre, consequently only fivethousand pounds, If Col. Gray was not labouring under one of his fits of hypochondriasis when he penned this stote. ment, jn which condition he has himself he is apt to be plunged when thinking over the public finances — we must ouly conclude that he regarded the people for whom his letter was jp. tended as pxiremely ignorant, and therefore easily imposed ypon. The last sentence of the paragraph under oy). sideration contains eyep still more glaring misty. presentations. The writer says that * not one pre. prictor in nearly ten years.

They were met by the Charlestea battalion and the Entaw regiment. For a time the fight was des- perate, but the Louisiana battalion, under Lieut. Col.

Memremis, June 19, 1862.—The gunbvat Con- .estoga has arrived with despatches containing, the particulars of the engagement at the rebel torti- cations below St. Charles, 85 wiles from the mouth ofthe White River. On the 17th the gunboats St. Louis, Mound City, Lexington and Conestoga, and the transport New National, having on board the Forty-sixth Yndiaua regiment, Col. Fitch, which left here a «week ago to open communication with the army .of Gen. Curtis and remove the obstructions from White River, aseended that stream. The gunboat Mound City, Captain Kilty .commanding, was about a while and a half in ad- owanee. In the bend of the city, near St. Charles, two concealed batteries opened on the Mound City. Her decks were immediately cleared for action, and as soon as the range of the rebel works could be obtained, the Mound City opened her guns au them. Captain Kilty meantime signalized te Cel Fitch to land his ‘force below the fort, \whieh was suceesatully acedmplished. ‘The Lexington and St. Louis shelled the works, under eover of which Col. Fiteh gained the rear of the rebel position. At this juncture a ball from @ siege gun on the bluff struck the forward and port side of the Mound City, perctrating the case- ment, and passing trough the steam drum of the vessel, which immediately became filled with the c@s-aping Vapour.

Great Satr Lake Crry, June 16.—A band of persons, numbering about 1000 men, women “ SAINTS ” peared on earth,” formed a seitlement 30 miles north of this city and committed numerous depre- dations on citizens in the vicinity. They refused to labor fur their own support, believing that the Lord would supply their wants. Three of their number, disgusted with the imposition, attempted to leave, but were arrested and placed in confine- ment, heavily ironed. A writ of habeas corpus was issued by Chief Justice Kinley, which was treated with contempt. A sufficient time having elapsed for producing the prisoners, a second writ, together with an order forthe arrest of Mor- ris for contempt and for the arrest of the leaders of the gang for false imprisonment was issued. For the execution of this, a posse of 250 infantry ing Governor Fuller. Morvis and his men were strongly entrenched and thoroughly armed. Fight- killed. On the 15th the rebels pretended to surrender, but resisted anew as svon as our attacking party approached. In a hand-to-hand fight Morris was killed, and another leader mortally wounded. The rebels were then overcome. Several women and children were Killed during the seige, the Mor- risites refusing to remove them to a place of safety. ----— —o7 p> o--—_-- — Tue Lare Barrie 1s Mexico.—The battle of Pucbla was a most inglorious defeat for the French, who had been told that the Mex- icaus would run at the first fire, their march into the city of Mexico would be uninterrupted and they would be received with open arms by the entire populace ; whereas they met a brave and determined enemy, and althouSh they uiade three distinct attacks and bayonet ebarges upon the Cero(height)of Guadalou with one thousand two hundred, and at the Gate of Amozoc with over two thousand men, they were erry with great loss, and finally were obliged to retreat, leaving their killed and some of their wounded upon the field. The feree under Gen. Zaragosa, the Mexican commander, was about eight thousand in and around tbe city, but only five thousand of these took part in the batale; the French had the same number, yet only four thousand were engaged ; the others were left to guard a train of wagons, transporting provisions and merchand #e, the latter under tho protection of Mons Saligny, which extended over five miles of road. Three of these wagons were taken by the Mexicans, loaded with laces and silks. The retreat was conducted precipita- tely, yet in as good order as the Zouaves and Chasseurs, left to.t{heir own movements, were enabled toaccomplish. ‘The Zouaves d’ Afri. que and Chasseurs de Vincenneg suffered very much, aud many were cut down by the Mexican cavalry when defending themselves by threes and in squares of eight or twelve.

Examiner, GOVERNMENT We copy from the ‘Isiander’ of the 2Uth ult., | without abridgment, the following extraordinary | defence of the conduct of the Gevernment for | their land jobbing proceedings, at the public ex- ' pense, while carefully concealing from the poor | tax payers a full knowledge of their transactions : “A Crop or Comrorty FOR THE EXAMINER. | —It has been repeatedly charged against the pre- ixent Government that they have refused to lay liefore the Legislature, “most important des-| such sincere regard for religion, of any form, as to | P patches’ with respect to the purchase of the Sel- | kirk Estate, and Lot 54. | “Wehave repeatedly explained that the pur- | chase of these estates was negotiated by His Ex- ' os . | eellency, aud thai no despatches were written on | of his estates; this offer he submitted to the As- sembly, which body authorized the purchase. | “Lot 54 was purchased from the agent of the Ownez, in this Istand. “Now, if Mr. Whelan, or any member of the | Assembly, or any man in the Island, whe doubts j our stavements on thas head, will calion the Lieut. | Governor, during office hours, and express to His | Exeelleney a desire to be made acquainted with subject of the ALL that was ever written on the purchases to which we have referred, we truly | assure such person or persons, that His Excellency | will fully gratify his or their curiosity.” There can be no doubt that, from the style in | which the above article is written, it was autho- | rised by the Lieut. Gerernor himself. Shameless | ‘as Mr. Secretary Tope is, it can hardly be sup- | posed that he would go freely use the name of Mr. Dundas, and iuvite people to go to Government House for information which the Executive Coun- | cil ought to afford through the Legislature, unless he was told todo soby His Excellency. In taking | this extraordinary course. we consider that the Lieut. Governor has placed hunself beyond the line of his duty. No Governor has ever, before Mr. Dundas’s time, allowed himself to be made the seape goat for the sins and short-comings of his advisers. Then, as regards the purchase of the properties referred to, we must plainly tell His Exeellency that neither the Constitution nor his Instructions from the Queen give him power to use the public money in the purchase of large tracts of lands on his own individual responsibility. If he can use the public money in one case, with- out the knowledge of the Legislature, and refuse to give a full account of his proceedings ia the only place where it should be given, he may do it in many other instances — he may, indeed, super- cede the action of the Legislature altogether. It is true the House of Assembly authorised the pur- chase of the Selkirk estate; but when they gave the authority we presume they expected to be niade acquainted with all the terms of the pur- chase, and with every item of the correspondence to which it gave rise. It is a miserable quibble for the ‘ Islander’ to say there were no despatches written by his Excellency regarding this transae- tion. There must have been correspondence of some kind; and as that correspondence related to the expenditure of the people's money, it is clearly the property of the people. Why is it withheld? For no other reason that we can divine than this —that there was jubbery in the transaction,which, however, we do not charge upon the Governor. It is very well known that Lord Selkirk offered to sell his estate to Mr. Douse at one thousand pounds less than the Government gave him for it. Perhaps the correspondence “ventilates” this fact, and is withheld on that account. As regards the purchase of Lot 54, no authority was given by the Legislature for that speculation. It may be possible that negotiations for the pur- chase of that property were conducted with par- ties in the Island; but there must have been some writings between them and the Governor on the subject ; and we can only account for their eon- ccalment, on the supposition, that the vendors of that estate had private interests to serve which would not bear the test of publie serutiny. The invitation to us and others to go to his Ex- celleney, “during office hours,” and express “a desire to be made acquainted with aLt that was e-pr written on the subjeet of the purchases,” is exceedingly silly. Mr. Pope, who gives this invi- tation, knows very well that no man in his senses would accept it. We have nothing te do with the Governor in the business. If he were wise, As 1 have already rather too much obtruded | WE have been informed, on indisputible authe- rity, that it is the declared intention of the Orange Lodges to administer an oath to each of the brethren, forbidding any member, on pain of expulsion, from voting fora Liberal at the ap proaching election, This information eo:nes from Orangemen themselves, who freely acknowledge that there is a clese alliance between them and the Volunteers. We are not at all surprised at it. No sensible man ever supposed that Orange Lodges were formed to protect one class of reli- gionists against another. If sll denominations England during the last fifteen years, caused by the alleged increase of the French navy. Yet the fact is, that the increase in the strength of the Freveb navy is unimportant coutrasted with the Dritieh aval forces. According to the mos* reliuble information, Mr. Cobden states that in 1847, the number of men in the English navy was 44,969, and in 1860 the number was 80,500 ; while in the French navy the number of men in 1847 was 32,169, and in 1860 was only 34,000. So that while England increased her naval forces by You ask me if the suggestions of the Commis- sioners respecting a loan were entertained or not. The suggestions amount to this, “ If the proprie- tors would agree all round to sell at 2s. Gd. per acre, then a joan of £100,000 would purehase 80,000 acres!” Now, the Commissioners migia also lave stated that if the proprictors would sell at Is. 3d. per acre, then a loan of £50,000 would nat, purchase the same number of acres. I presuine ‘neither you nor I will be much enlightened by these suggestions. Every man of common sense knows that the proprietors are no mere likely to sell at the ove price than the other. The terms of the Land Purchase Act authorise the Govern- ment to give double what the Commissioners 40,531 men, France augmented hers only to the trifling extent of 1531 men, and the outcry were left to pursue their own course, harmeny and good will would prevail, as it did beiore the present Government were inangurated. Orange Lodges bave been organized fer no other earthly lies, so that public serutiny may be withheld from the indefensible aéts of the Government, and timid Protestants of Liberal principles nay be forced to espouse a Tory eause.

The arguments of the writer are clearly put, and eannot be easily controverted. There are some points which, we think, might have been more forcibly urged; and an entirely new view of the subject might be made to resolve itself into these questions: Why should the poor tax payers of this country be forced to contribute their money to supporta military force, which, in the event of an invasion, would be ut- terly useless? and, assuming that an invasion wore successful, would not the abolition of ‘proprictary | domination be more speedily effected than under | the present etate of things, as Sir Samuel Cunard and his eonfreres would have no Colonial Office to run to, in order to thwart the independent le- gislation of the country? Besides, can the people of this Island consider themselves under obliga- tions, similar te those which devolve upon the other Provinces, to provide means of defence when they know that nearly the whole suil of the TeJand was given away to a few cormorants who trumped up fictitious claims against the British Government? So long as that Government sup- port the proprietors in their claims, it is their un- questionable duty to provide for the defence of the country if they wish to keep it under the Bri- tish Crown. If the Imperial Government fail in the performance of that duty, the proprietors should look out for themselves, and defend the country if they wish, and if they can. The people are not wise if they continue to squander their money on the idle project. Whatever turn foreign affairs may take, they camot certainly be worse off than they are at present, while under the lash of the proprietora. If such men as Bruce Stewart, Cunard & Co. want to keep their broad acres to themselves, let them defend them as best they may. The poor tenants find it hard enough to pay their rents, without paying a large sum of money to keep up mere holiday soldiering. The Volunteer movement costs this country annually as much as would pay the interest on the purchase of a large estate; and it would be only laughed at as a means of defence, if any invader thought it worth his while to grasp at the Island. We say this without auy intention to disparage the Vo- lunteers individually. We believe they are able to go through their dril! as well as any of their brethren in England or the other Colonics; and we feel confident they would show as much bravery in action as any of the Anglo Saxon or Celtic races in or out of the service. But what we con- tend for is—that they are too few to be effective in resisting a foreign foe — and they 1aust always be so while ihe Colony remains poor and scantily populated. Dut even #@€hey numbered ten times more (han they do, they would still be non-effee- tive in the absence of coast defences.

Although we were assured that our Volunteers should never be called upon to leave the colony, yet it was useless to tell them that in the event of French invasion England would make her defence thousands of miles from here, and that consequently our Volun- teers could render no assistance. The fate of the North American Colonies would be decided in such an event in the British Channel. Though it was admitted that whatever force might be raised here, however brave or well disciplined, could not be of the least avail against the shells of an invading gunboat or frigate, yet the thousand stand of cast off arms, and musty accoutrements were given to our overgrown children who wished to play at soidiers—captains, majors, and colonels —sprung up like mushroons after a summer's shower—corps were formed, and the people, who, from the beginning despised and ridiculed the whole affair, are called upon to pay £500 or £600 a year, for what a member of the Legislature,— in a spirit of burlesque, we presume—designated “the Volunteer service !” The fears of French invasion have passed away, but the events of the past year, and especially the incidents connected with the Civil War in the United States, have afforded our military heroes as they imagine, the efficiency, necessity, and im- {for the balance of £6000 in a short time afler, purchase, and if you or your friends can get your be long in finding the cash. it would take a great deal of space to expose fully all the untruths and specious statementa which it contains.

He says, “it was not in the power of the Government to accept one part of the Award and reject an- other,” and that they “had only the choice of coufirming it wholly and entirely, or rejecting it altogether.” bought on such terns, the tenantry would have to pay the Government say from 15s. to 208. 25s. and ds, per acre, to make it sol/sustaining. The Worrell Estate was bought at 6s. per aere ; for this, £18,000 tn debentures rill be duc and must be paid in cash in 1>64; and there is only a little over £400 to meet this. The lands were resold at such a low rate that the expenses have swallowed up the receipts! I imagine when the people are called upon to pay in two years this £18,000 and their eyes will be opened to this transaction. You allude to the prospect of the owner of Lot 51 selling to the Government, and that the difficul- ty is the want of money. Whoever raised this report can have no foundation for it. Thave made myself intimately acquainted with the prospect of getting any proprietor to sell. The Messrs. Montgomery refuse to sell on any terms at present ; Mr. Sullivan has been offered and has not yet con- sented; some proprietors have offered to sell at £1 an acre, and three will sel] at 158. an acre, ali round. Whether the confirmation of the Awsrd may produce any change in the prices re- mains to be seen. However, I am glad to be en- abled to inform you the Government is very willing to purchase any estate on anything like terms which will enable the tenantry to purchase, so as to make it self-sustaining, and the money is ready at eammand whenever required. All the Government desire is the chance of Township offered to the Government we will pot I am, my dear sir, Your obedient servant, J. HAMILTON GRAY. Hii casein omerena an The foregoing is not a very lengthy letter, but The last sentence of the segond paragraph con- Now, we all know that the Loan bouchero was Colonial Minister, he offered the guarantee on the part of the Crown; and his suc- cessor, Lord Staniry, introduced a Bill into Par- | liament to secure the guarantee, which passed | through a first and second reading, on the powerful reconmends‘ion of hia Lordship, and would have | passed inte iaw, but for the unceasing opposition of the proprietary party. We have had in thet case a clear proof of the willingness of the Home Government to give the guarantee for the Lean; and the only other application that was iuade was through the Royal Commissioners, all three having been appointed by the Crown = ‘There has been ne positive refusal to that application. In alluding to it, the Duke of Newcastle merely said that he could not at present encourage the hope that the Imperial Government woud guarantes the Loan. His Grace spoke ten times more strongly against the Arbitration part of the Award than against the Loan. scheme was part of the Report; but Col. Gray declared that that was not worth the paper on which it was written, and, when Mr. Coles offered a resolution in the House, urging the adoption of the Loan as part of the Commissioners’ Report, Col. Gray and his party opposed it. In the next paragraph Col. Gray says:—“ The Award gives every tenant the right of purchase.” The Italics are his own. This statement, he knows, is quite untrue. “ Every tenant” bas not the right of purchase under the Award. Nove but the tenants on four or five estates whose owners consented, in the first place, te the Royal Commission, would have the right to purchase, if the right were of any use to them. Mr. Gray also says that the rates of purchase are “to be fixed by three arbitrators.” He knows there is gross deception in this statement. In the first place, the Duke of Newcastle has declared his unqualified opposition to the arbitration part of the Award. There are, says his Grace, “ in- superable objections” to that measure. Can any one suppose that there is the slightest chance of it going into operation with such a condemnation as this pronounced upon it by the Crown? But, in the secoud place, the Proprietors themselves, who were consenting parties to the Commission, have given the death blow to the Arbitration scheme. They say that in proposing it, the Royal Commisrioners exceeded their authority, and that it cannot be ailowed. Does Mr. Gray suppose that the proprietors can be coerced into the mat- portanee of the Volunteer organisation in this colony. In wading through the “ wordy, washy, everlasting flow” of “ English ” not “ undefiled,” recently published, we find the following arguments used in the House of Assembly in sepport of the grant of money for the “ Volunteer service :”— Firstly, the Volunteers won the prize competed for at Sussex Vale—hence their efficiency ! Secondly, the Government of Nova Scotia gave a large graut to eagourage the Volunteer movement in that place—therefore our Legislature should give « large sum to support the Velunteers of this place! Thirdiy, the Volunteers will defend our “lives and liberties” against the “ many ruffians” of the neighbouring States! Fourthly and lastly, we should not “show the white feather,” in view of the consequences likely to arise through the Trent affair! a WE deeply regret to learn that at the late batile before Charleston, 8S. C., Mr. John J. McDonald, a native of this Island, and brother to the Rev. A. MeDonald, Rector of St. Dunstan's College, lost his life while gallantly placing on the ram- parts of a Fort just rescued from the enemy the colours of his Regimeut, the 28th Mass. Volunteers, or Faugh-au-Bealach, He was struck by eight balls, and expired instantly. He was highly dis- tinguished in the Regiment for his great courage, and closed his military career before he had at- tained the prime of manhood. We also learn that Thomas W. Ryan, formerly of this City, was killed ai the battle of Williame- After thus misleading his correspondent with regard to the intentions of the Home Government on the Loan Question, Col. Gray arks, “ what would be the result if we had £100,000 wor in our Treasury?" We answers the question by saying, that from the very day we got the loan, we should have to pay a yearly interest of £7,500 currency. The smount of interest depends entirely upon the terms on which the Loan would be efiected. We believe it would amount to nothing like what Col. Gray has set down. But it is not that pomt ia which the deception mainly lies, It is in the state. ment that the whole £100,000 would be deposited in the Treasury, whether the Government had im- mediate use for it or not. The writer of the letter under review knows very weil that not one pouad of the money need be drawn uatil the Government would be prepared to effect a purchase of jands, and therefore the money would not de euprodue, tive; and, of course, no interest’ would have te by paid by the Coleny. All this has explained, over and over again, in the Hove of Assembly; snd Col. Gray eannot plead jgngrays? in the matter. . The statements in the letter about the indebted. ness of the Colony on account of the Worrell E- tate,are partly false and partly true. It is true that debeniures to the amount of £1,000 wil become payable ina short timo; but it is sottree that “there ix only a little over £400 to meet this.” The Report of the Committee on Publie Accounts, lately published in this paper, shows 4 very different state of things. There are to the eredit of the Estate amounting to ® Very large sum; and the unsold land, according to the rate at which the Committee of Publie Accounts estimated it—(and let it be remembered that the Committee were nearly all of the Tory party) would yield a sum nearly sufficient to pay half the original debt. Again: it is not true that there # a balanec of £6000 against the Estate besides the £15,000 secured by debeutures. If such balavee were really duc, why has it not been secured by debentures, as the larger sum was | Just boesus it was not considered to be an honest claim, a0 should not be paid, unless the Government a6 disposed to squander the public moucy in the most reckless and dishonest manner. We have far exeeeded the space we intended to occupy in this notice of Col. Gray's letter. There are other points in it upos we should like te offer some observations, but w® 1aust let them pass for the present, We cannot, however, omit calling the attention of out readers to the declaration coutained in the concluding tence of the last paragraph but one. He =7* that, if nn estate be offered for sale to the Gorer® ment, “ the money is ready at command.” This pure buokum. Where is the money ready ! Whe has it? Does Col.
