E. Dawson, amounting te $31,710? li correct, did you cause that deficiency to be searched cut / Was the de ficiency in abe ve #16,451 : Did the Receiving Teller, i: 1873 and 1874 abstract fonds from the Bank te the extent of $15,000] Did him a@ preser and at the same time cancel his Bonds ! efore giving up bis Bens, did you ascertain if the loss of the $16,481 was chargeable to him | lf the Directors were guilthss, it need not have occupied half «as long to satisfy these enquiries a it Bills Receivable of $4,000, you Manat excellent bondsmen fer payment ? A— Vell, the Board thought it was for the good of the Bank not to de se? Q—1 agree with yeu. It is the only part you could not compel bis sureties to pay « Now sir, what became of his bonds? Were they given ap to him? A—i think they were. Q—Inid you ever before relinquish a Bond A—I think not. Q—To whom did thie $4000 belong ? A--To the Bank. Q—Did it not belong to widows and orphans whose moneys are invested im the Dank as the sole meaus of their ving? A— 1 suppose so. (QJ —Did you obtain their consent to give this man $4000? A—No. The thrilling excitement which attended this extraordinary testimeny, was perhaps never surpassed in cur Supreme Court. For giving such testimony, he had the assurance to charge me in the B li of Costs only $30.32 ! Now a few words in reference to the sworn testimony. which Mr. Palmer said he had m his possession, so damagimg to my letters. fhe Act requires the Cashier wo make a semi-annual statement of the position of the Bank, accompauied by an oath or affirmation of the truth of such return. I= also requires 4 majority of the Directors to certify and It is one thing for an euterprising ship- | | builder to theorize and to say he can and | will build a steamer which will cross be | tween the Island and the Mainland at all | umes. li is quite another thing to succeed | in doing so. {t is all very well for the) people of the Island te say that iree navi- gation all winter was one of the, conditions of Confederation; but it is quite another thing for the Dominion | Government to overcome the vast force of | Nature and the existing insurmouutalle | climatic ivfluenees. So far the Dominion Government did all they could do, which | was to employ the best shipbuilder they | knew of, to build the best steamer he could | devise and construct. The Government |} did their part and the builder did his, and | it is only just to say that if the steamer did | not prove to be perfect in all respects, it is | acarcely fair to blame either Government or | the builder, for the simple reason that | neither had any practical knowledge cf the difficulty which they attempted to overcome. | Directly it was settled that the Northern | Light was building, people as a) rule coneluded that now _ naviga- tion would be open” all winter. Unreflectively they were influeneed jointly by the sanguine ideas of Mr. Sewell, and | by their wishes as to what shouid be. In other words, the wish was father to the thought, and people generally did not | make oath or aflirmation before the same Magistrate as the Casbier, that the Books of returned by their Cashier; and that they nave fall co. fidence in the truth of the return so madé by him. ‘The Counsel forthe hank at the trial sought to make a strong point here, | viz, that my return sent in to the Government | om the 3rd March, 1574 was untrue. The} Judge at last demanded a sight of the affidavit, | and when produced, found that the oath read | “That the above statement is in se | cordance with the Bank Books.” ‘Ihe Judge at once thiew it aside, and told them to geo | on with the case.

A—\ suppose so. { think [ have now gone far enough, in heiping Mr. Palmer to review and — his answer before it is given to the world. 1 need pot dwell on his refereuce to my button- holeing some of she Directors. That matter wall be found fally explamed in my last letter in ecpnection with the bill of costs. The ouly light which Mr. Dawsen con- descended to throw upon the investigation at the annual meeting was this, “I am pre- sed to defend every act of mine in connec- tion with this Bank.” How grateful the “hareholders must have felt for this much. But why stop here? Why not go on and defend? Ay, there’s the rub. Vill Mr, Dawson, as Mayor of Charlottetown, con- descend to evli, hten the community as to the acts of Mr. Dawson, cbief of the Union Bank, anent the frauds perpetrated im said Bank? If so, perhaps he will allow me to suggest a few topics. In July, 1874, when the second discovery was made, and Wellner had gene to back £/,999, Mr. Dawson asked me to put the question to Wellner on his return, which the President refused to put to bim on the first occasion, I replied, be is your servant and 1 have no control over him ; tt is your duty, not mine. After the money was counted, he was going away, and finding there was to be noenguiry by the Board,]} stopped himatthe door Sadnele, Mr. W.—you must beaware that a large portion of the responsibility ci these transactions rests on me as Uarhier ; now 1 ask you. before the Directors, * have you avy more money in your posession belonging to this Rank?” After a pause he pointed to the mopey on the table, and said—*‘ there is all | make allowance for the difficulties in the way of the steamer being perfectly sticcesstui. 1 take it that now the majority of the people will admit that to keep navigation between this Island and Pictou, reguiar all | the winter, is a physical impossibility, aot | only for the Northern Light, but for any | steamer that can be built. The finest steamers fitted to contend with ice, are these engaged in the’ New | foundiand Sea! Fishery, aud even they, are jawed and useless for dass and weeks at atime. Inthe spring of last year, come of | tne largest aud most powerful of the sealing flect were jammed fast in the ice within sight of st. Johns for three weeks, aud mark you, they were not land locked (as the .Vorthern Light is on her route) but had on one side the coast of Newtoun ilaud, and on the ether side the broad Atlantic. Yet for weeks they re- | mained powerless, until the wind came so that | the ice became loose; then they went on their! voyage And under similar circunistances | the orthern Light could do the same; but to ferce through inabt, closely-packed ice be- | tween tie Isiand and Pictou. is a sheer im- possibility. A s'eamer might, with cqual | chance ef success, attempt to go through | the laud inself. . Now, Ido not mean to say that the Vor- | thern Light ia all she ought to be; but | do | say that with fair play she will do her work | well, By fair play, 1 mean that she mnst not be put into heavy, closely packed ice, and | that people must net expect her to run quite} sv regularl, as our steamers are supposed to do insamm Fr, Sometimes our summer steam- ers arrive bere late at night. People, on asking the reason and being told that “it blew hard ani a heavy sea in the Straits,” are satisfied, andrightly soteo. Butwhen the Northern Light is delayed ou @ trip, anc the reason is given that the Straits are chovk full of heavy ice, | peple sbake ft cir heads and say! the Northern Light is a tailure. In one} case allowance is made for natural | causes; in the other case, no allowance | whatever is made. ‘ihe tact of the matter is, | that people generally expect a great deal more | from the Northen Light, than any steamer is ever Lkeiy t avcompiish, and the seover they recoguizy this,the sooner they will be prepared to admit the value of the Northern Light mm keeping Navigation open after the Princess of Wales and the St. Lawrence cease running in the Fail, and before they begin running in the spring. Surely this im itself is a great step in ativance, and a gain to the people of the laland ; but instead of appreciating this, as it deserves, it is ignored entirely, as seon as the Northern Light is, by the over- powering forces of nature, delayed on her route, at a time when she ought to be in harbor, instead of attempting impossibilities. In my opinien it is a mistake for the Northern Light te be compelled to leave port whenever ready to do so—in face of the fact that all on board may be fully aware that from the state of the Gulf it is certain that the steamer will be leng delayed, if not thoroughly bafiled. To my mind the Captain is the best judge as to when to leave pert and when to stay in harbor. He ought to have full discretion in the matter—and not be hampered by either au Agent in Charlottetown or a Minister in Ottawa. 1 take it that everywhere a captain has sole control of the movements of his ship; and I would ask why should not the captain of the Northern Light have the same disere- tionary powers as are considered neces- sary in the cases of the wmercan- tile marine? I believe, however, Captain Finlayson has no discretion in the matter. 1 believe his standing orders are ‘‘to leave one pert for the other whenever the ship is ready.” The sooner such orders as these are modified the sooner will the Northern Light do better work and give more satisfaction. Anyway at all times let me be reasonable, and not expect impossibilities from the} Northern Light or any other steamer.

Ninth Annuai Report of the Bt. Lawrence Marine Insurance Company. In presenting their Report, the Directors have to say that in endeavoring to carry out the instructions given at last meeting to ‘‘ wind up the Company within the year,” they have experienced great diffi- culty, owing to the large number of Share- holders in bankruptey. Of the $1,567.44 remaining unpaid of Call Ne. 2, at that date, $599.22 has been collected, and $968.22 written off as un- | recoverable. All liabilities of the Company, except a amall amount for advertising, have been paid ; and the balance remaining to divide amengst Shareholders who have paid in full, amounts te $6053.46; 2,180 Shares have paid in full.

To the Editor e* the Renin, Dean Sir, — Please insert the following account of the death of Walter LeLacheur who died at Great Barrington, Mass,, on the 28h ult., Yours, &., Maenvus McDonaxp. Walter J. LeLacheur, the pepular clerk of the Berkshire House, since last May, and a very estimable young man, died on Monday, the 2oth ult., frem a violent attack of ulcera- tion of the stomach. He had a severe ran of the measles a few weeks since, from which he recovered, but was takea down again last week, with the disease frem which he died. He was a native *of the Isle of Guernsey, in 1560, and came here from Prince Edward Isiand, where it is understom: his family friends mostly reside. His great distance from home, and the inaccessible condition of Prince Edward Island in winter, rendered it impossible for any of his friends te reach here before his death, so that he died far away from his kindred and early friends, though not friendiess and alone, His pleasantand affable manner, coupled with an earnestness of pur- pose in the discharge of his daily duties, made him many friends, and he had most careful attention and treatment from Mr. Ticknor and family, and the sad circumstan- ces of his death drew out most appreciative sympathy aud offers of assistance from our village people generally.—Berkshire Courier. i i Ee Tuerr is a rvmor that Mr. Kenneth MacKenzie, of Strathalbye, Lot 67, whe went to the Northwest two years ago, has been killed by the Indians. He has a wife and five children on the Island. Any one who knows the truth of this matter would confer a great faver ou his friends on the Island if he would communicate with them, and let them kiow the facts, whatever they may be. Ad- Natal.
