     mekeeny remerk upon the th rd proposition, 
     
     lees I shoeld make some observations 
     
     that might be deemed unplensant, especial! y 
     
     ag the delegates bold the highest official situa- 
     
     tieos in the Island. [ therefor: passed it over 
     
     werely stating that it was difficult to ve up- 
     
     deretoud. Being now called upon, especially, 
     
     ty reply to thie proposition, | will endeavor 
     
     to explain what would be its operstion. A 
     
     tenant holding & farm consrating of 100 acres 
     
    
   
   
    
     tor which he is bownd by hid lease to pay £5) 
     
    
   
   
    
     rene per annum, and t pay if annually, 
     
     v ould. under thia proposition, evuid paying 
     
     hus landlord, being encouraged thereby to du 
     
     so, but would deposit his reat in the Bunk, 
     
     where be can get six or seven per cent. inter 
     
     ext, and at the end of 20 yeura the accumu- 
     
     lated rent and interest would amount to more 
     
     then £150. This sum should, in justice, be- 
     
     jung to the landlord ; but the tenant can take 
     
     280-of it and demand from the landlord a 
     
     deed in fee simple of hie farm, and bas the 
     
     remainder of the £150 ae a reward for hic dis- 
     
     honesty." These are the opiaiuns of the pro- 
     
     prietors, if we take their yews from hin 
     
     who is generally sup to represent them 
     
     iu Great Britain ; and we want but litle more 
     
     to convince as whet their views would be, if 
     
     ex , 0B the propos:tivas cuntsined in 
     
     the Colonial Minister's despatch of the Lith 
     
     July. Nu dowbt the proprietors would con- 
     
     sider the propositions of the Colonial Minis- 
     
     ter outrageous, tinctured, perhaps with more 
     
     then* dishonesty,’’ when they would consi- 
     
     der that a tenant who nad paid no rent for 
     
     sixteen years could get hi» land at right 
     
     years’ purchase ; and we want no further 
     
     j ruof that they would aot accede to these pro- 
     
     posals. But the opposition, faithiul to their 
     
     course of obstruction, and blowing hot and 
     
     cold, use their faithful term «* insincerity ;" 
     
     but when the Duke's despatch of the Iith 
     
     daly was published, they biew hot, and offer- 
     
     ed the strungest opposition t. the propositions 
     
     therein set lorth, tearmg the Colonial Go- 
     
     vernment would accept of them; whereas, 
     
     now, after the wiser course of sending the 
     
     delegates to the Colonial Office has been 
     
     adopted, and the Opposition find that the 
     
     Governmant did not comm:t themselves by 
     
     aocepting or rejecting the Luke's suggestions. 
     
     they are prepared to blow cold again, and 
     
     say we should have accepted the former pro- 
     
     possis, though it is evident that the proprie- 
     
     tors bad no intention of acceding tw tiem. [n 
     
     testang the sincerity of those gentlemen, one 
     
     naturally looks to see whet their own pro- 
     
    

    
     sions are ; but if you trace their policy 
     
     tor the last 4 or 5 years, you will see that 
     
     théy offer oo propusitions for the setilement 
     
     of the question, though they oppose and ub- 
     
     etruct every plan that is off red by the present 
     
     Goverument. In @ very celebrated liberal

     eet 
     
     wottd be made aprarent, we find the follow- 
     
     ing? ** The Goverament of the Island should

     *reprietors’ Jands) esther by an lwperia! or 
     
     ® lycal luan ; the turmer would be decidedly 
     
     the beet.”" But they know there is no pros- 
     
     = of obtaining an Imperial ioan—the 
     
    

    
     uke of Newcastle tells us so—and that we 
     
     cannot raise & local losn without eaddling 
     
     the Island with a burden of £75,000. And 
     
    
   
   
    
     if we cannot get an Imperia! joan, and are | 
     
    
   
   
    
     unable to bear a local loan, then they advise 
     
     the, tenantry tw rest the claims of their 
     
     lendionrds. The Editor, already referred to. 
     
     says: if the proprietors will not sel\ on the 
     
     sume terme as the Selkirk and other estates 
     
     were sold, ** iet their properties be rendered 
     
     & very serious incumbrance tothem."’ W hat 
     
     he meens by that | am rather at @ lose to 
     
     cunceive. Again he saye——* Lostile legisla- 
     
     tion, it ie true, may be checked at the 
     
     Colonial Office; if so, then det the Local Go- 
     
     vernment do nothing uf the tenantry should be 
     
     inchned to forget their obligations to ther 
     
     landlords."’ By that | suppose he means to 
     
     keep the proprietors at their distance with 
     
     the point of the bayonet. Here is the propo- 
     
     sition of those great ** Liberuls,’’ who charge 
     
     the Government with insincerity. Now, 
     
     which of the two is the must sincere; those 
     
     who are endeavouring to bring abouts union 
     
     of mind between the landlords and tenante, 
     
     or those who are endeavoring to incite the 
     
     tenants to resist their landlords? I think 
     
     every impartial man must see that the proper 
     
     Course Was, not to pustpone the matter tll 
     
     another sessiun, with a view of legislating 
     
     upon that Despatch. while we had, in the 
     
     megntime, an oppurtunity of sending a Dele- 
     
     gation to the Cojonial Office, and getting 
     
     information which we could Jay before the 
     
     Legislature. [ am confident that it is money 
     
     well appropriated, and | only wish that 
     
     every wember of the Legislature bad the 
     
     opportunity which we had of sitting down 
     
     and having a free divoussion with the 
     
     Colonial Minister, and subsequensly, on 
     
     several occasions, with the Under Secretary 
     
     of State, when they would find that it is noi 
     
     such an easy thing to leyisinte between pro- 
     
     prietors eod tenants, where private interests 
     
     are so deeply involve. { might muke 
     
     further remarks on this point, but [ wish to 
     
     confine myself to the propusition contained 
     
     in the amendment. The Delegates have un- 
     
     done nothing, nor bound the tenantry any 
     
     further than they were bound before. There 
     
     is no doubt that when the measure on the 
     
     land question comes belore us, ample oppur- 
     
     tunity will be giwen to say much awre, sud

     happens in the dense fogs. About the 7th of 
     
     Marcel the young seals are found about the 
     
     size of cats, mewing on the ice. ‘they are 
     
     oot yet fic to be taken, but by lying in the 
     
     sun and sucking the ice until about the mid- 
     
     dle of March they gain three inches of fat. 
     
     Then commences the slaughter. The wen 
     
     walk up to the white cuuts, as the young 
     
     seals are then culled, aod knock them over 
     
     by striking them on the forehead with a long 
     
     pole, stick them with a knife, cut them down 
     
     the breast, and carcass rolls out, leaving the 
     
     skin and fat which is ull the seal-catcher is 
     
     after, the curenss being left on the ice. |’ 
     
     Usually in abuut the last week in March, the 
     
     seals begin to dip, they take to the water, 
     
     and are then only to be captured by shoot- 
     
     ing from the boats. Old seals are iuvalner- 
     
     able unless shot in the forehead, and nature 
     
     has provided them with a means of de- 
     
     fence even here, in the shape of a ** hood, ” 
     
     which they drop on occasions—hence their 
     
     name ** old hoods.'’ So the season of catch- 
     
     ing them is but three weeks in duration 
     
    

    
     Che men often go five or six miles from the 
     
     ship on the floating ice. They get one-ball 
     
     the catch, sometimes making « good trip, at 
     
     other times getting nothing. Oue spring 4 
     
     crew thut were out three weeks and three 
     
     juys, shared $135 apeie. A brig of 150 
     
     tous will take as a crew about forty men, 
     
     who are provided "y the merchant fitting out 
     
     the vessel with a full supply of provisions, 
     
     and all things necessary for the prosecution 
     
     of the voyage, in retorn for which each man 
     
     pays a swall sum, called ** berth money; ”’ 
     
     and should the voyage prove unfortunate, the 
     
     werchant has to stand the loss of the entire 
     
     outtit. Lt ws & dangerous vccupation, for the 
     
     brige are liable to be crushed in the ice 
     
    

    
     though they are strongly built. The fat of 
     
     the seal, alter being brought into port, iseut 
     
     into small yieces, placed in large vats, and 
     
     left to drain off to oil, which is an article of 
     
     commerce. The skins are used for yarivus 
     
     purposes.

     | fortunate man then gazed upon life, and light and 
     
     sunshine—upon the throng of bis fellow beings 
     
     around him—for the last time. A white linnen cap 
     
     was drawn over his faee. The hanwman slunk 
     
     back into the yallows-oom, and the siynal was

     now a thiag of loathing and horror, writhing in 
     
     couvulsions at the end of w rope. The strongest 
     
     nerves guve way, for amoment, asthe sound of the 
     
     fulling drop was heard, and the wretelied man Was 
     
     lavuched into eternity. The ettect produced upon 
     
     the mob was electrical. A deep prolonged groan 
     
     or sob was heard from many throuts as the body 
     
     fell. Women screaved and boys ran in every 
     
     direction, frightened at the sud spectacle they had 
     
     been bo erto see. Huandr-dsof those who were 
     
     immediately in front of the scuifold, fell simultan- 
     
     eously on their knees. The movement made by 
     
     those whose nerves could not stand this last shock, 
     
     wus so great that a punic was created which lasted 
     
     for several momeuts—a portion of the mob rushing 
     
     wildly along Dauphine Street, while others made 
     
     off in the direction of St. Ann street. There was 
     
     no coufusion, however, at the gaol enterance. The 
     
     giol-guard, who were vut ou duty, imuwediately 
     
     atood to arms, and the police were also present in 
     
     full force. The panic, or rusb, or whatever it may 
     
     be called, was over in a minute, and the crowd then 
     
     stood slent and apparently awe-stricken iu the fear- 
     
     ful presence of d-ath. ‘The unfortunate condemned 
     
     appeared to suffer fearfully in the last throes of 
     
     death. Ashe fell, the cap slipped from his face, 
     
     and the upturned countenance, working with the 
     
    

    
     ngs of death, was visible to the persons looking 
     
     ton the front wiudows of the guol above the 
     
     scaffold. From the first deep red flush of strangu- 
     
     lation, it turned to purple, and from purple to the 
     
     livid hue of death. There wasa vivlent convulsive 
     
     wotion of the whole frame at first, and the strug- 
     
     les continued for fally five minntes. At the end 
     
     of this time, however, life was evitlently extinct ; 
     
     but the body was allowed to hang for the usual 
     
     length of time. Shortly before eleven o'clok, the 
     
     last act of the tragedy was performed—the corpse 
     
     being cut down and removed tor the purpose of 
     
     being handed over to the relatives. Even at this 
     
     uour, thousands of persons still lingered in the im- 
     
     mediate vicinity of the gaol, as if their eves had 
     
     not already sufficiently feasted on horrors, or as if 
     
     something singular fascinated them to the spot. A 
     
     considerable length of tinue elapsed before this 
     
     crowd had fiually dispersed.”

     River. When d:scovered he wxs buried under

     Verdes were tast becoming depopulated. The 
     
     condition of the islands Brava and 5t. Thiago was 
     
     truly desperate. The population of these two 
     
     islands is estitnated at about 70,000 souls, and for 
     
     this population, when the last advices left St. 
     
     Thiago, there were only 60 bags of rice ameng the 
     
     entire population. But the effects of famine were 
     
     such that the people were actually dying by starva- 
     
     tion in the very streets. The bark of the ban- 
     
     ana tree and the flesh of animals which few peo- 
     
     ple ever use was esteemed a delicacy. Although 
     
     rain bad fallen, yet it was tuo late, the seed sown 
     
     was parched in the ground, and would not sprout, 
     
     aud aliheugh the pastures showed green there

     TENANT MEELING AT ROLLU BAY 
     
     CRUSS ROADS. 
     
    
   
   
    
     A large and influential Meeting of the 
     
     Tenantry residing on Townships Numbers 
     
     43, 44, and 45, was held at Rollo Bav Cross 
     
     Roads, on Monday the 4th inst., for the 
     
     purpose of taking into consideration the 
     
     present distressed and deplorable state of 
     
     the Tenantry on said Lote and the Island 
     
     gonerully. The Meeting having been duly 
     
     organized by the calling of Mr. Donald H. 
     
     MeDonald to the chair, und the appointment 
     
     ot Mr. Patrick McDonald to act as Secretary, 
     
     the Meeting was opened by ® speech from 
     
     Mc. William Henderson, in which he clearly 
     
     expluined the oppressions the tenantry had 
     
     so long endured and would still continue to 
     
     endure if they did not tuke immediate steps 
     
     to evade those calamities’ He next re- 
     
     viewed the fruitless effurts that had hitherto 
     
     teen made by the Government to settle this 
     
     important question, and the want of a dis- 
     
     position on the part of the Proprietors to 
     
     come to any arrangements with the suffering 
     
     ‘Tenantry, unless upon the moat ruinous terms 
     
     imaginable. The meeting was largely re- 
     
     presented by both leasehulders and freebold- 
     
     ers, and they all cordially agreed that no- 
     
     thing short of a right of purchave on equal 
     
     terms with the settlers on the Selkirk Estate, 
     
     Lot 11 and Lot 54, could ailay the disaffec- 
     
     tion existing among the tenantry of thege 
     
     Lots and the Isiand generally Therefore, 
     
     the fullowing Resulutiuns were proposed and 
     
     unanimously carried, viz :— 
     
    
   
   
    
     Moved by Mr. A. Campbell and seconded 
     
     by Mr. Ronald McPhee— 
     
    
   
   
    
     Resolved, That this Meeting is of opinion 
     
     that if eith-r the Delegates or Sir 5. Cunard’s 
     
     proposals were udopted by the Govern- 
     
     ment, they would prove ruincus to the 
     
     tenautry of those Townships and the Island 
     
     generally. At the exorbitant prices specified 
     
     in both those proposals the tenantry could 
     
     not afford the opportunity of converting their 
     
     respective leaseholds into freeholds. There- 
     
     fore, be it resulved, that this meeting concur 
     
     with the rest of the tenantry throughout the

     good results, we think that the time has

     ihe could dv would be to give him a good

     respondent, but over his clothes; and I, in 
     
     common with others who saw the proceeding, 
     
     thought it was much better than sending him 
     
     to jail, to fatten at the public expense, for 
     
     the next three months. 
     
    

    
     If your correspondent * Roger Riddler” 
     
     had seen some of the duings in Georgetown 
     
     lately, be would not have written as be has 
     
     done on this subject. When a J. P. selis 
     
     spirits by the glass to persons till they lose 
     
     their reason, and become excited by it, and 
     
     then has the power to pnt those persons in 
     
     jail, and pocket the fees for doing so—I say, 
     
     that it shews clearly that no J. P. should be 
     
     a retailer of spirits. If tie law ts to be res- 
     
     pected, it is high time that some of our 
     
     J. Ps, who now degrade their office by sell- 
     
     ing spirits by retail, were struck off the list. 
     
     it dacs not **cause the law to be respected’’ 
     
     to see drunken brawls occurring frequently 
     
     at the doors of a tavern kept by a J.P., 
     
     while he may, at times, be seen in the midst 
     
     of the crowd, gesticulating like a madmaa, 
     
    
   
   
    
     neighbours fur not assisting him in what he 
     
     terms ‘* keeping the peace." Or again, in 
     
     taking a rowdy, doubtless a good customer, 
     
     who had brataily ill-treated an unoffending

     stance of there beiag four members of the Govern.

     them the pretererce and favoritism denied to an 
     
     independent competitor. The Government side 
     
     attempted a denial of Mr. Coles’s allegations ; 
     
     but they were signally weuk in detending 
     
     the monopoly of the new Company. In ex. 
     
     tenuating the preference given ever Mr. Bull. 
     
     tenhonae, they alleged that he was not a trust- 
     
     worthy person — that his securities" were ineuf- 
     
     ficient—that bis boat was pot ready for service; 
     
     apd that it was better to give the money for the 
     
     contract to a domestic company. even if it were

     The ineorrectness gad fallacy of these allegatione

     chase—all the money to be paid down—and no re 
     
     mission of rents unless to those who are able to 
     
     purchase their farms, and pay the money in full 
     
     fur them. We shalladvert to this Bill more par 
     
     tieularly in our next. There is vo doubt that it 
     
     will pass here. The Government party have bad 
     
     several caucus meetings during the past week; 
     
     aud this is, ne doubt, the offspring of one of them, 
     
     The proprietors cannot well object to the Bill, for 
     
     it propuses to give them all they have asked, and 
     
     more than they could reasouably expect.

     ‘Tue House of Asrombly was engaged this 
     
     morning in debating the question of Colonial 
     
     Unien. It appears to be the inteutiva to appoiut 
     
     Delegates to go to the other Provinces—(auother 
     
     good job for Messrs, Pope and Palmer)—to con- 
     
     fer with Delegates there upon the question; bat 
     
     evidentiy the Gorermnent have no real regard foc 
     
     the measure. So far as this Isiand is concerned,

     The Hon. the Colonial Secretary, having 
     
     moved that a certain Tabular Statement of 
     
     Publie Accodnts, which he held in his hands,

     Currency, the other in Sterling, there ap- 
     
     peared a mistake of £1,251 6s. 10d. against 
     
     the Colony, as showoa by the Classified Table 
     
     of duties in Currency. Now, sad the hou. 
     
     Gentleman, as these Tables appear to have 
     
     been preparad for the purpose of affording in- 
     
     formation at the expected meeting of Dele 
     
     gates, to be held for the consideration of the 
     
     roposed Union of the Provinces, it certainly 
     
     hoves us to see that they are correct; for 
     
     should they be published in their present tn- 
     
     accurate state, and one of the delegates from 
     
     the other Provinces should take them up, and, 
     
     on exemining the Tables, discover the mts 
     
     takes which L have pointed vut in them, 
     
     what would be thonght of our accountants? 
     
     The Hon. Mr. Speaker, sustaining the view 
     
     taken of the mutter by the Hon. Mr. Gules, 
     
     said it was quite irregular to make any mo- 
     
     tion for the printing of any Documents 
     
     containing statements drawn from the Publ e 
     
     Accounts before these accounts bad been ex- 
     
     amined and reported upon by the Committee 
     
     xppvinted for such purpose: and thereupon 
     
    
   
   
    
     blaspheming and swearing at his peaceable the Hon. the Colonial Secretary, by leave, 
     
    
   
   
    
     withdrew his motion, 
     
    

    
     Mr. Howlan said, these accounts I find 
     
     very incorrect, for, besides the error 
     
     £264,090—no small item in itself—I find 
     
     thet there is also a mistake of some 4 oF 
     
     5000 gallons of molasses, and another in the 
     
     export of barley ; ales, in the import of Ten,

     of your valuable space by giving you the in-

     slip bas been so tor the past twelve montha, | 
     
     but whether ths is owing to the neglect of | 
     
     the Government, or to the incompetency of |

     the exorbitant and gigantic exactions of Sir |

     Lodges in connection therewith. 
     
    

    
     The debate upon these xesolutions was 
     
     very animated one, end was protracted 
     
     great length. The opinivns, touching the 
     
     Urange question in general, which im the
