 "Yi il l (Continued.)
Mr Coates came to this Island in 18%
,from Sllffolk, England. For many years
he_ was Deputy Prothonntary of the
Supremo Court when held in St. Eleanors.
Thou. Hunt Esq. succeeded him, and his
soh Wal. T. Hunt Esq. n genial and ulucll
respected oiilcer holds this position at the
present timer He is one of the few in
whom you find no change, has at all
times a warm greeting and a kindly smile
.iorllls many friends and acquaintances.
i{is family are well worthy of so loving
andgenteel a parent.
it niece of the above named Mr. Coates
came tothe Island ill the year IMS and
shortly aft-er became the wife of Albert Il.
Compton, brother to the writer. Since
his demise his son Henry has been pro-
prietor of this fine property to which he
has added other lands. Independent of
this he cuitivates another farm on the
)Pavilion. His residence has been re-
' ulpdeled in the last two years and is one
of. the handsomest on this road. llc is
fu' r
ing St. Eieanors he went to reside ln
Charlottetown and was proprietor of the
of\'l‘ra`fafgar", “Bombardment of Algiers
by Lord Exmouth", "Victory of Admiral
Bing over li Spanish fleet", “Relief of
Gibralter by Rodney". “Hood defeating
the French in 1782", “Victory ofltlamper-
ddwn by Admiral Duncan", “Death of
Captain Cook" and the British' warship
Bellerophon with Napoleon on board.
The next room is largely taken up by
relies of Nelson: the coat and cravat worn
during the battle of the Nile; gun, sobre
aad'oanteon presented to him by the
Sultan; eoat, vest, sword and watch wom
by him at Trafalagar. As may be seen,
tile bullet which caused his death went in
under the left epaulett-e, while the left
front of his linen vest is stained by his
blood.
Another roolu is entirely hung with
pictures of Nelson at various stages of
his life and by dilterent artists: one,
doubtless intending to represent the
r'lntlon’s grief for the hero, shows him
breathing hielastin the arms of a most
beautiful woman.
`LM=le‘ stood between Napoleon and:
`l'iuiVéi‘lil`ll 'empire at which lle doubtlessly‘
lined but the small realm of Britain,
wiliolrhumanly speaking was saved by.
tilhgenlus of Nelson. With the French
"tick/oi-loss at Trafalgar as at Jena and _
'W’agram,one cares not to guess at the.
consequences likely to follow. It is there-_
fore no wonder though tears of -genuine
holfmw were shed during the rejoiciags
"when news camo that the great battle
