JUDGE PALMER EXPRESSES HIMSELF PRETTY FREELY, On the epening of the Equity Court at St John, on Monday morning, Mr. Justice Palmer said he had a remark to make con- cerning the bar dinner, which took place on the 17th inst. He had recived an in- vitation to attend the dinner, but since then he had learned that a certain member of the bar—Dr. Walker—had not been in- vited; that he had been slighted on account of race—simply because he was « colo:ed, man. If such was the case, which certain- ly appeared to be, he doubted the propriety of attending the dinner, although he had accepted the invitatien. As a Judge of the Supreme Court he felt it his duty to mention the matter as he had. He looked upon it as extremely hurtful to the good feeling of the community to make race dis- tinctions before the law or otherwise. And he thought in this country all such attempis should de discountenanced. It interfered with the pure and honest administratien of justice and the peace and gcod feeling of the community. For his own part he would not under any circumstances coun: tenance any movement which oyevly drew race distinctions between its members. Dr. Walker sc far as he knew him was a highly respectable gentleman, and the only colored member of the bar in this province; and the bar had no right whatever to slight him or deny him the privilege as a mem- ber of being present at dinner under their management. Of cour e, if the din- ner wasa private dinner and not got up under the patronage of the bar, the person getting it up had a perfect right to invite whom he pleased; but he could not view it in the licht of a private dinner, as his invi- tation had come from the bar.

He mentioned it so that if upon more mature consideration of the parties interested they should consider his views as expressed should prevail, they not too late. He himself claimed no right to interfere in the matter. a ae aa Root Prizes. The Chester (Eng.). Courant says : The appeoded awarda of the judge (Mr. Thos.

Seized by that dread disease, small- pox, she showed the most exemplary patience through all her most distressing suiferings. These lasted from Sunday, the 15th of November, until Friday, the 27th. Always of a mild and modest demeanour, it is not singular that she sheuld have gained the esteem of those of riper years, and be beloved by aJl her playmstes and ecquaint- ances. In a letter of feeling sympathy to ker parents, by J. T. Meollish, Ksq., M.
