He declares that “ nine-tenths” of the tenants in the Island will, ere long, enjoy the “ privilege” of | purchasing their farms at “fifteen” years rental. But he knows there is not one word of truth in this statement, which is put forth for the vile pur- i, of deceiving the ignorant readers ot his pa- per. Inthe first place, he is well aware that |there are only four proprietors who are publicly | known a8 consenting parties to the Award, and ‘that there are about forty persons altogether who hold large estates in this Island. Jlew, then, ean he presume to say, unless he be the most unblush- ing — that ever existed, that “ nine-tenths ” of the tenantry will be affected by the Award? The | tenants on the estates for which Mr. Pope himself iis ageut will not be affeeted by it — Mr. Douse’s | tenants will get no benetit from it — Mr. Bruce | Stewart's will get none — Mr. Yeo’s, none — Mr. | Palmer's, none — Mr. Haviland’s, none — and we | believe that Mr. Haviland, junr. entered a protest against the Commission on behalf of an absentee landlord for whow he is agent, and who was ori- -| givally a consenting party to it,—the tenants on the estates of the Messrs. Stewart, Todd, Rennie, Cundall, Wright, J.C. Pope, and many others whose names we cannot recollect, will derive no benefit from the Award, if it were capable of con- ferring any, a8 their landiordsgid not give in their adhesion to the Commission. In the second place, as regards another part of the false statement we have noticed — Mr. W. H. Pope knows very well that the Award does not say that fifleen years purchase shall be the price the landlords can demand; but TWENTY years is very plainly stated as their price; and as the Ar- bitration part of the Award has been very suin- marily rejected by the Duke of Newcastle — whose willis absolute in reference to Colonial affairs that require Imperial interferenee— there is nothing else for the tenautry but to purchase at the laudlord’s price, from one pound to two or three pounds an acre; aud this wonderful “ pri- four consenting propricters. Now, we challenge the editor of the ‘ Islander’ to prove that there is anything else in the Award to give the least en- couragement to the tenantry. The recommenda- tien for an Imperial loan was the only useful thing jin it; and that has likewise been set aside by the | Colonial Minister. Mr. W. H. Pope never ceases to remind us of | the great advantage to the tenantry of having | their arrears of rent remitted.

She persuaded him to load his gun which he placed by the bedside. In his statement he says:— I was awoke by some noise, and found that the light on the table had been put out. It was al- most dark in the room, but [ could see somebody standing between the little table and the head of the bed. I was so excited that I didn’t think of it being my wife — remembering what I had told her when [ went to sleep—and snatched my gun from the corner,raised it quickly,and with my back to the foot of the bed, fired atthe shape.

The curtain over the window made the room so dark before. The dis- charge of the gun atiracted the attention of some officers who entered the house. The room was a small one, about fifteen feet square.

We may, however, say that no Bill of the kind was ever introduced or supported in our Logis- Jatyre. A Bail wae, indeed, before the House, copied verbatim from a New Beynawieck Act, and finally passed withouta dissenting guice, the object of which is to give the Bishop certaintcuet powera: over lands belonging te the Chureh, fer the bene-! levy taxes on the property of Roman Cathelics,ab his discretion, than William H. Pope possesses. The Bill to incarporate the Bishop, under which Mr. Pope says the Cathalies will be “ enslaved,” was introduced in the Session of 1861 by the Hon. Joka Longworth, and passed with Lhe concurrence of all the Cetbolica and Protestants of the two branches of the Legislature; but the framing of the Bill was so defective that it was rejected by verely. His Grace said, however, that it was very proper to have a Bill which sould embody the same principle; and he promised that if one were drawn up coreectly he would procure the Royal assent to it. Now, all that was done last Sessjow, ip refereyce to this matter, was to passa Bill free from the errors of Mr. Longworth’s act; and every intelligent Catholic knows that such a Bill, instead of increasing the powers of the Bis- hop, positively lessens them; and that, instead of, making Church property insecure, by allowing the Bishop to hold it in teust, it renders it thoroughly secure against any individual interest of the Bishop, if it were likely that he would eyer ex- Mr, Pope knows ail this as well as we do,—he knows, moreover, that Messrs.

When the river is full the streets are three or four feet below its surtuee, the water being kept out by an artiticial embankment eaded the levee, which extends trom a fort, 43 miles be- low the city, to Baton Rouge, 140 miles above. The levee ia 10 to 5U feet wide, and 1 to 10 feet above high-water mark. ‘The length of the city along the Mississippi is 74 miles ; its width sloping from the river to Lake Pontchartrain, is 4 miles. The public buildings are on a magnificent scale, ‘There are | 40 churches, and, besides numerous colleges, there are 75 academies and schools. ‘The newspapers comprise 9 daily, 2 tri-weekly, 2 semi weekly, 6 weekly, and | mouthly. Several of the markets are among the finest in the world; the Poydra:- street market is 402 feet long and 42 feet wide. Among many cotton presses that of the Orleans is | on ground 632 feet in length, The hotels are splen- did, one of them costing $00,000. The works by which the city is supplied with water, raised by steam from the river, cost nearly $1,000,000, The capital employed in manufacturing ameunts to more than 35,000,000, and the articles produe- ed exceed $9,000,000. The river opposite the city is half a mile wide, and 100 to 160 feet deep, aud it preserves the sane width te near its en- trance into the Gulf ot Mexico, the bar at its mouth having a depth of 134 to 16 teet of water, with a soft muddy bottom. For commercial par- poses New Orleans has no superior. It is the na- turalentrepot for supplies destined to all parts ot the great Mississippi Valley, as well as the depot for those products of that salubrious region which seck a market seaward. Dy means of the Miasis- sippi river and its tributaries, an inland trade is ened to her grasp, the magnitude of which has never been equalled. The staples of the valley, cane, corn, and eotten, up to the seceding of the South, were annually increasing. Railways in every direction brought to market what was be- youd the reach of the river. The facilities for carrying on trade in New Orleans are probably un- equalled in the world. The shipping lying at the levee, in the palmy days of the city, was a marvel to all whe beheld the forest of masts and smoking chimneys. The municipality was long thought a maragun of excellence. The exports in 185] amounted to $55,000,000, since which the value has beeu vastly increased. New Orleans was found- ed by the French in 1717. Jan. 1762 it was con- veyed to ike Spauiards, who, in 1500, re-conveyed it to the French, and in 1803 it was included in the purchase of Louisiana, by the United States. On the ath of Jair, 1815, the British, under Gen. Pakenham, attacked the city, approaching through Lake Borgue, and suffered a terrible deteat. The British loss iy killed and wounded was upwards of 3,000 men, among the former Gen. Pakenham ; while,the Americans lost only 7 killed and 6 wounded. New Orleans is a wonderfully opulent city, which may account for its capitulation. At least sound policy would dictate such 4 course of procedure on the part of its citizens, as the only alternative, im the event of capture, to escape be- ing plundeyed by the Federals. Not long since it was stated that the amoynt of gold in the vaults of the Banks of the city exceeded $20,000,000, The accumulated wealth of the place must be pro- digious. Whether this wil) escape Lhe cupidity ot the parties now occupying the city remains to be seon. ‘There is both a mystery and a moral to be unraveled ip the surrender of the Crescent City to the Federal forces, as the telegram states, “ un- resistingly.”’ oo Queen's Birtu Day.—lIt is the Queen’s wish’ that no celebration of Her Majesty’s birthday should take place this year—London Gazette, April 11.
