LEGISLATIVE. Tue business of the Legislature is now nearly brought to a conclusion, and it is supposed that it will be ready for proro- gation on Wednesday next. We shall take an early opportu- nity after the close of the Session to review the measures which have been brought under its consideration. Tue House of Assembly disposed of several Bills on Thursday and Saturday last, in a most summary manner. Amongst these were two or three Bills relating to Corporation affairs, some of the provisions of which we thought were highly im- portant and necessary. The only reason assigned by the House for rejecting them was, that country members could not Wait to legislate upon City affairs at so late a period of the Session. It is useless to say that the reason is not only a futile one, but in the highest degree disereditable. Amongst the Bills which were shelved was Mr. Palmer's celebrated Purge Bill, facetiously styled a Bill for securing the independence of the Legislature — that is, for excluding office-holders. It was introduced, of course, for factional purposes, and was very properly thrown out without discussion. Mr. Heath Havi- land’s pet measure to make the Legislative Council an elective Chamber, shared the same fate, although it was treated with a little more courtesy, inasmuch as it occasioned considerable debate, for which it was indebted to what we considered to be very extraordinary and very injudicious concessions on the part of the Hon. Colonial Secretary. As the House did not feel inclined to give us an opportunity of inflicting a second long speech upon hon, members, we shall take an early op- portanity of diseussing the subject in these columns, and will endeavour to point out how far our honourable friend was in error in making concessions, (though unintentionally made as such), tothe clamour of the Opposition. It was expected by the friends of the minority out of doors, as well as by some of themselyes—that a strong case would be established against the Government on the discussion of the Special Committee's report on Public Accounts; and the Ad- ministration were threatened with fearful exposure as to their assumed mismanagement of the Worrell Estate. Well, the de- bate on the Public Accounts commenced on Thursday evening, and was resumed on Saturday evening ; but, although ample time was given for enquiry, and a protracted discussion oc- curred, the Opposition most signally failed in making out any thing like a plausible case against the Government. Every inch of ground which they sought to secure melted under their feet before the light of argument and reason. - » *ooo + We observe that Mr. J. M. Stark, ex-Visitor of ‘Schools, is endeavouring to turg to some account the leisure which the Government has generously given him, by writing a consider- able quantity of stuff, commonly designated rigmarole, for the edification of those who patronise the Sanctified Press. Mr. April 1, 1857. oe a ss CEPHAS BARKER. To rue Epiror or THe EXAMINER. Srr,—As a large number of my friends are readers of your widely circulating journal, will you allow me, through your columns, to address them upon a subject seriously affect- ing myself and them. When the ship Majestic was stranded near Pictou last fall, myself and some others of the passengers went on shore at Pictou. Mr. H. R. Narraway showed myself and Mr. W. Woodman great kindness. At Mr. Narraway’s house I was introduced to Mr. William Heard, merchant, of this city. The aforesaid Mr. William Heard has industriously circulated a report to the following effect, and I believe nearly in the following words, viz: that I said, “* That the whole voyage from J.iverpool was, on the part of Mr. Warburton, one scene of drunkenness, debauchery, cursing and frolicking. That the loss of ship and cargo, and even should it result ia loss of life, the whole was to be attributed to Mr. Warburton. That when we cast anchor, Mr. Warburton dragged the captain into the cabin, and they there drank to excess ; the captain went to his berth and there he lay in a state of unconsciousness, the ship dragging her anchor mile after mile, and he knowing uothing of it, until he was aroused by some one telling him that the ship was striking.” To this I give a most unqualified and emphatic denial. Mr. Heard referred to the’only two persons competent to give evidence in the case, viz: Mr. H. R. Narraway, of Pictou, and Mr. W. Woodman, of Murray Harbour. A copy of the above report was sent to Mr. Narraway, and he was asked to say if such assertions were made by me in his house; he replied, “ I did not charge my memory with certain conver- sations which might have taken place last fall in reference to the stranding of the ship Majestic. Iam very sorry to hear you have been charged with propagating anything that may have been untrue; hope you may be able to clear yourself. [ hope your coming to this country will be rendered a blessing to yourself and others.” Mr. Woodman, to whom a copy of Mr. Heard's report was sent, replied, “I have only to say that [ am much surprised at what has been said by Mr. Heard. I believe I was with you the whole time you were at Mr. Narraway’s, and I heard no intimation of any improper con- duct on the part of Mr. Warburton, nor anything out of which Mr. Heard’s report could grow. All I have heard you say in reference to the Majestic’s commander, passengers or crew, has been of the most favourable kind.” Mr. Heard has been written to, asking him to appoint a friend of his to meet a friend of mine, thus affording him an opportunity of offering any explanations he might have to make. That communication he has replied to in a most in- sulting manner. I felt, therefore, that the interests of truth required that I should publish the above. I forbear comment upon the conduct of a man who can so caricature the name and style both cf gentleman and Christian, and leave the question in the hands of a discerning public. Ch.

Mecnantes’ Instirute.—Jt was announced that on Tuesday evening last William Monk, Esquire, would deliver a lecture upon ‘* The Air we breathe, and the Water we drink.’’ That puters delivered a lecture upon the first part of his subject, nding it so comprehensive that he could not, at one time, embrace the second part. He gave a very clear description of Aerology, or the science of air, dilated ‘upon its constituent parts, and showed it to be one of the great agents of nature in the economy of the world, as without it neither animal nor vegetable life could exist at any time. The lecture was de- livered extemporaneously in a plain and practical manner, se that the most common mind in the hall could understand this obstruse and scientific subject. Mr. Monk was complimented upon the way in which he had treated this science, evidently showing that he was quite at home in it, and that he was per- fect master of it. A lively debate ensued, and further infor- mation was thereby elicited. A resolution was unanimously passed, requesting the lecturer to conclude his subject during the present session, to which he cheerfully assented. On Wednesday evening next, instead of Tuesday, the Rev. Wm. C. McKinnon may be expected to lecture on ‘ Geology.” MELaNcHoLy anv Distressine Acctpent.— A most melan- choly accident, attended with loss of life, occurred in the neighborhood of Cascumpec on Saturday night, the 4th inst. The dwelling of Samuel Cannon, shoemaker, a poor man, living on the Kildare Road, was destroyed by fire, together with all his furniture, tools, and clothes of the family. It ap- nar that the parents left home a short time before the fire roke out, to visit some relatives about a mile or so away, leaving the house in charge of the two eldest children—a girl of twelve years and a boy of ten—the remainder, four in num- ber, being in bed. The two left in charge, becoming weary, retired to rest, and had scarcely fallen asleep when they were awakened by the flames which were curling round their beds. The girl succeeded in effecting her escape by the door, and, opening the window, endeavored to assist her brother out ; but becoming confused with the smoke and flames, he sank on the floor, and, with the four young children, was consumed with the building. The girl, though badly burned and in a state of nudity, succeeded in reaching a neighbor’s house on foot, where she now lies, and little hopes are entertained of her re- covery from the effects of the fire and exposure. A spectator describes the scene as heart-rending when the parents reached the burning ruins, and learned the calamity that had befallen them. The mother could scarcely be restrained from rushing into the flames in search of her offspring, and it required the strong arms of two men to prevent her. The remains of the children were discovered the fullowing day, literally burned to cinders. The parents, by this calamity, are reduced to great poverty, and charitably-disposed versons in Charlottetown, as well as in the neighborhood, will, it is hoped, contributé% something for their relief. Contributions will be received at: Mr. G. T. Haszard’s book-store.—Pro. Capture or Mr. Brurs.— As Mr. Archibald MacNeill, of Kildare, Lot 3, was travelling through the woods in that vicin- ity, on the 28th of March last, for the purpose of finding a suitable tree of timber, he, after some time, came to one which he thought would answer him ; and whilst contemplating it, he drew out his pipe to have a whiff, when he heard a rumb- ling noise like that of thunder. He did not believe, though, it could be such, and listening more attentively, he imagined, as it afterwards proved, that the sound proceeded from a heap of earth not fardistant. On proceeding to the spot and exploring a little, hé found this mound or castle to be inhabited by a Bear. After becoming aware of this fact, MacNeill returned to a wood camp in the neighborhood, and next morning, in company with two others, proceeded to the scene of action. On a more close examination of Mr. Bruin’s stronghold, they found it almost impregnable, being built so as to have a descent from all sides. It was about eight feet high, and entirely en- closed, with the exception of a hole in the top, like a funnel, through which he took an occasional peep at the weather, and it is supposed that he was thus oceupied when he sent forth those ‘* peals of thunder’? which eventually led to his capture. He lay in this den nicely coiled up, so that they could not get a shot at his head, as nothing was visible through the aperture but his shaggy coat. They then tormented him, by poking him with poles re the opening before described, twisting them in his hair, and pulling it out in some cases, so as to arouse him and make him alter his position, but in this they failed as he did not move. A hole was then dug through the mound, as near as they could Judge in the direetion of his head, and a heavy charge fired inte it, which took effect, and after a groan or two he surrendered without further trouble. Ile is supposed to weigh 560 lbs., and measures 54 feet in length, 4 feet round thin betty, 2 feet round the neck, 16 inches round the fore leg, 10 inches long on the sole of the paw, and has 112 Ibs. of fat. It is thought he is very aged, from the fact of his hind leg being quite full of slugs, which is supposed to have been the effect of a loaded spring gun that was set for him some years since. At all events, the neighboring settle- ments are rid of a tormentor which has, for the last ten years, carried off, at intervals, their cattle, &c., and which, until now, has eluded every effort to capture him.
