THE Noam EASTERN Boom)an Qonsriom—The nego- tiations at Washington, for the adjustment of this question, are probably by this time begun, as all parties whose co- operation is necessary, are already there. Among these are the three . Commissioners of this State, Messrs. Lawrence, Mills and Allen. and the four Commissioners of Maine, Messrs. Preble, Kent, Kavnnagh and Otis. Besides these Commissioners, several other gentlemen are known to be in Wishington, who have probably been invited thither for the l :" so ofgiviug information in reference to the questions ‘ u' or no otiation, viz: the Land Agent of Maine, the Chief J V ice 0 New Brunswick, Mr. McLaughlin, the Warden of , ’gdispiited.territory, and the Surveyor General of Lower " Canada. These gentlemen, as it is now understood, are. as- sembled, not for the purpose of determining what is the line ofbouudary defined by the treaty of 1783, but for the pur- pose of attempting to agree on a new line which shall be ,Iltiefactory to all parties. EXTRAORDINARY Titian—The following singular case, which, we believe, is the first ofthe kind that has ever been tried‘in a court of justice, either in' England or America, has been heard before Judges Baldwin and Randall in the United States Circuit Court at Philadelphia. The prisoner, A. W. Ho'lmés, one of the crew of the William Brown, stood charged with ' manslaughter on the high seas. The vessel , sailed from Liverpool for Philadelphia on the 12th of March, _ 1841. On the night of the 15th oprril, when about 250 miles from Newfoundland, she struck, as is supposed, on an island of ice, and sank in an hour. Thirty-one persons, who had remained on board, perished. Of the remainder of the passengers and sailors, 4‘2 had got into the long boat, and the captain, with eight of his crew and a passenger, were in the jolly boat. On the following morning, the boats separ- ated, to make the best of their way to land, and so crowded was the long boat, that the mate, at parting, said to the cap- tain that he saw no alternative for them but to cast lots who constantly necessary; but at night the wind freshened and the rain was violent; the boat leaked, and the waves dash- ed into it, so-.thnt, according to the witnesses for the de- . fence, the danger was great and inevnable, 'although those the‘prosecution did not believe it to be imminent. It ‘e'ebms, hOWever, to have been admitted on all hands (at least it was not denied by the witnesses for the prosecution) that ‘ the boat was sinking, and mature gunwale was within two inches of the water’s edge. In this extremity, the awful ex- pedient of lightening the boat, by the throwing over of pas- sengers, was resorted to, and, on the following morning, two others were thrown over, but by whom does not appear to have been satisfactorily proved, seine swearing that it was one individual, some another. The case was warmly argued on both sides, the prosecution contending that ,no case of inevitable necessity had been made out, and that the/law applied only to cases much more extreme than this. The defence alleged that they had fully established a case ofin- ei'itable necessity,and therewas every presumption to. be- ;Iieve, that if they had ‘not resorted to the melancholy alter- ‘ native of throwing some overboard, they would allbave in- evitably perished. Here the case rested, when the Judge charged the jury, that the obligation ofthe captain and crew to~carry the passengers safe, extended even to a case of such imminent peril, and they were bound to sacrifice their ., own lives, if necessary, for the preservation of the rest. The d jury, aligns. consultation of twenty hours, found Holmtfi l ggilty, but; unanimously recommended him to the mercy of the Court? Judge Baldwin said that their recommendation should have the most respectful consideration. WEST INDIES. .Tnn EARTHQUAKE—Every arrival from the West Indies brings some new particulars 0 the ravages and disasters attendant on the great convulsio of the 7th May; and the first accounts, instead of being exaggerated, appear to have understated the destruction of life and property.

Fasnsmcron, June I7.——The following’kxtract of a Despatch from the Right Honorable the ficretary of State for the Colonies, to His Excellency the Lie enant Govemor, is published for gbneral information :— . DowningrStreet, 17th May, 1842. .7 Sm ;——Her Majesty’s Government having had under their consideration the, ‘ presentations on the subject of the pro- jected alteration o the Import Duties, both in the United Kingdom and in the Colonies, from the Legislature of New BrunstVic'k, as well as ii'omvarious Bodies interested in the Trade ofthe Province, which accompanied your Despatcbes ofthe numbers and dates noted in the margin, 1 now pro- ceed to explain to you, for the information of e parties in- terested, the conclusion to which Her Majesty’s Ministers how come in reference to those representations. v Her Majesty’s Government cannot but regrettthe unfavour- able apprehensions which are entertained by the Petitioners as to the probable efi'ect ofthese measures, and in which, to some extent, you appear to participate; but they trust that a closer examination of the changesgwliich are proposed will lead to a'mo're fawourable‘estimate of their probable re— sults; and although I donot feel called upon on the partof the Government to enter into a detailed and grgumentative exposition ofthe subject, 1 amgnevertheless, indufld to hope that the general observations which Ipropose to make may be found useful in removing erroneous impfissions and al- loying exaggerated fears. I The contemplated changes in the Imperial and Colonial Tariffs appear to affect New Brunswick in three, and only three important particulars, viz:—-The trade in Wood with the \Vest Indies; the trade in Fish with the West Indies; and the trade in Wood with the, Ugited Kingdom. \Vith respect to the trade in Waofl‘with the West Indies, I admit that probably some falling off may take place in the export of Shingles, Staves and Headingsto the West Indies, but these appear to form a very inconsiderable portion of the New Brunswick W'ood trade, as appears from the fol- lowing Table :—- ' Value of ezports of Wood Gondsfrom, New Brunswick, in the you rs 1837, 1836, 1335._ ‘ Shingles and Slaves, . £22,279, £21,195, £20,336: Total exports of Wood goods, 4544391, 454,236, 478,453. The remainder of the Wood exports from New Bruns- wick, as derived from information which E have no reason to doubt, is not likely to be affected by the competition of the United States, who are themselves obliged to resort to New Brunswick and Canada for this commodity, and who, from the gradual diminution oftboir Qtyn Timber, will be- come more and more dependent upon the British North American Provinces for their supplies. -With respect to the trade in Fish with the West Indies, although Her Majesty’s Government have, with a view to satisfy the just claims of the West Indian population, re- commended the substitution of a duty upon Fish, in lieu of the present prohibition ; yet, in fixing that rate of duty, re- gard has been had to the protection and encouragement of the British North American Fisheries, as? well on account of their importance as a nursery for seamen, as also because of the monopoly hitherto enjoyed by British North Ameri- protected competition, might lead to much individual loss and inconvenience. 1n estimating, however, the comparative facilities of the United States and New Brunswick for carrying on Fisheries, I do not perceive any thing either in reference to the prox- imity ofthe Fishing Ground, the cost of building and fitting out Ships, the ordinary rate of wages, or the aptitude of the people for this species of employment, which would lead to the supposition that the U_ 'ted States have any superior ad- vantages over New Brun k, or that the proposed protec- tion of'15 per cent. is not amply sufficient, or that there are anyhother circumstances which. would call for a larger in- ci'cas'ti of protection to the British North American Fisher- men than is accorded to the other branches of the industry of these colonies. 3 - I am aware that in the United S ' and Franco high do. .ties are imposed upon the produce 0 the Fisheries of this country, and that the system of Bounties is still kept up with a view to the support oftheir own Fisheries. Her Majesty’s Government, however, concoive that those hiin duties must be deemed to be an admission on the part ofthe Countries imposing them, that they are themselves apprehensive of the competition of the British Fishermen in their own markets, as it has been stated by parties who have urged upon the Government the adoption of a higher rate ofprotection to the British Fisheries that such apprehen- sions are actually entertained. If there be any ground for sucliIapprcbeuisons, there can be little causia for the Petition— ers to fear lest Foreign Fish should, to any serious extent, com— pete with British Fish in the \Vest India Markets, protected, as itwill be, by the proposedDuty, and notwithstanding the privilege in the nature ofa bounty or protection proposed to be continued to the British Fisheries ofimporting, duty free, the principal articles required for their employment. With respect to the wood trade with the United Kingdom, I perceive that whilst the Petitioners have dwelt upon those portions ofthe proposed changes which they conceive to be unfavourable to the Colony, namely, the diminution ofthe difference between the dutids imposed upon Baltic and Bri- tish North American Timber, they have omitted to notice the reduction (amounting very nearly to abolition) of the duty upon Colonial Timber, which will necessarily give in- creased facilities to the importation of this article into this country, and, hyadmitting ofa reductionof price in respect ofthe reduced duty, will tend to increase the consumption, and thus cause a reaction upon the price favourable to the Importer, and keep up or increase the employment for the shipping engaged in this branch of commerce. The advantage ofthis will be more especially felt in that class of \Vood which is more peculiarly the produce of Bri- tish North America, the Yellow Deal, and which, in fact, meets with no very effective competition from the Baltic Timber, in consequence of being applied to different pur- poses for which the Yellow Pine of NewBi-unswick is pre- ferred, both from its superior fitness, and its lower price to the consumer. ‘ - Her Majesty’s Government consider also that the additi‘ ofr2s. per 50 cubic feet on Foreign Deals to the ditty of30s. as at first proposed, and the five percent. additional duty to \vhich,,’£imlier will be liable, and which, although inappre- ciablg‘wob the Colonial duty, amounts to 45. 6d. pcr cubic foot upon Foreign Timber, should not be lost sight of; in the endeavour to form a just estimate of the Tariff proposed to Parliament. If the Petitioners give due 'iveiglit to these considerations, Her Majesty’s Government trusts that they will eventually be ofopinion, that whilst the alterations in the Timber du- ties will be found of very great advantage to the consumer in this country, the Timber trade of New Brunswick will so far from declining, be placed in a more sound condition: and with greater prospects of increase, than under the exist- ing Tariff. It is, moreover, not immaterial to observe, that whilst the forests of the British North American Provinces are, as yet, unexliausted, and to a great extent juntouched, the great de- mand which has for a se: of years existed for the Fir Timber of the Forests on tlifiontinent of Europe, particu- larly of Poland, has led toa material diminution of the sup— plies to be .obtained in the immediate vicinity of the great navigable Rlvers; and that,_consequently, it is becoming gradually necessary to ‘derive them from the most distant points, thereby increasing the cost of bringing them to the pomt of shipment, and thus tending to create an additional demand for the cheaper article imported from British Ame- rica. With these views and anticipations, Her Majesty’s Go- vernment cannot participate in the tears expressed h the Petitioners in reference to the apprehended loss ofval'iie in ,Wharves, Mills, and other similar Establishments in the 301% trite Want of em plOyment I'm-their labouring popula-' lion, decline of thejfiaritime, Commerce, to the general'welfare 6f the Colony. Her Majesty’s Government are disposed to believe; that 'or the injury 'arpeausce- . . . these apprehensions are founded upon estii can Colonists—an abrupt transition from which, into an un~ * natal inseam.» .j I ) ésfof the pro- bable prices of Timber drawn from the pricebbf that magic at the present moment, which are unusually low, .111 con 9: quence ofthe depression ofthe Timber Trade, owmg to g neral causes; and they venture to hope that the propose opening of the British Ports to Foreign and Colonial prqi duce generally, at much lower Duties than heretofore, Wld materially tend to reviveall branches of Manufacturing an Commercial industry, 'andhthat the Timber trade Will not only participate in that reVival itself, but Will derive collate— ‘i‘al advantages from 1t, _ both as respects price and de- mand. o . I would, in conclusion, remark that the measures contem- plated for the encouragement'of various articles of theAgrl- cultural produce of the British Colonies, if passed into a law, may be expected, at no distant time,.to necome'ofin- creasihg importance and value to the growing population of New Brunswick, whose industry cannot permanently con- tinue to he so exclusively applied to the business oflumber- ing, as at the present moment. 1 have the honor to be, &c. &c (Signed) Lieut.

DEPARTURE or JAMES GILMOUn, ESQ.——_VVe regret much to announce the departure from this community of James Gilmour, Esq., and family, which took place yesterday. They have taken passage. to the Clyde in_ the barkOxlord, Captain Burns. Nearly thirty years have elapsed Since Mr. Gilmour came to Miramichi with_ his late partner, Alexan- der Rankin, Esq. These gentlemen have, till very recently, carried on business here under the well-known firm of Gil- inour, Rankin & Co. The business they have transacted has been very extensive, and their manner of conducting it has been alike able and honorable. Mr. Gilmour belonged to the Scotch Church at Newcastle, of which he was an of- fice bearer, and the interests ot'wliich 'l'ie zealously promot- .ed. He was indeed liberal in his contributions to schools and churches generally, and in short to every measure cal- culated to promote the good of the country. He has retired to his native land, and, as we understand, has an ample competency. A Dinner was given to him on Tuesday, the 14th inst., in Hamill’s Hotel, Newcastle, which was numer- ously and respectath attended. Upon his embarking, sa- lutes were fired from Douglastown and Chatliam, and also from several of the vessels in the river. Addresses them the inhabitants ofthe town of Chatham, and from the Kirk Ses- sion and Corporation of St James’s Church, Newcastle, were presented to him. To these Mr. Gilmour made suit- able replies.— Gleaner. , V / - serfiaatai metals. SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1842. The Pocxnou'rxs, steamer, with the second June Mail, arrived here from Pictou on Monday afternoon. The Mail was brought out to Halifax by the CALEDONIA, Steamship, which vessel left Liverpool on the 19th ult., and arrived at Halifax on Sunday last. don and Liverpool papers of the .former date, from which we have made as copious extracts as our limits would permit. The trial of the youth, John Francis, for high treason, in shooting at the Queen, took place on the 17th ult.in the Cen- tral Criminal Court, London. He was found guilty on the se- cond and third counts ofthe indictment, ehargi, whim " '- h havmg fired a pistol, loaded with somedestruc ‘ at her Majesty, tliejury having a doubt that it contain , - let, but believing that it was loaded with something else be- ,sides wedding and powder. The prisoner, who Sins dreadfully affected, was sentenced, in the usual form, to be hanged, drawn, and quartered. The tariff has at length passed through committee, and a better feeling is consequently visible in the produce market. The King and Queen of the Belgians are expected to ar— rive to-inorrow on a visit to her Britannia Majesty. Her Majesty has conferred a Grand Cross of the Bath on the gallant Sir Robert Sale, the defender ofJellalabad. It is rumoured that the. session of Parliament will close in July, and that there will be rid further discussion on any important question. - Lord John Russell has brought in his promised Bill for the Prevention of Bribery at Elections. The measure was received in the best spirit, and every disposition was shown to give it a full and calm consideration. .a has commenced, and the wheat is, in full ear. the Propagation of the Roman Catholic Faith, throughout Christendom, amounted to 2,752,214 francs, viz :-——In France; 1,479,434 francs ; Bavaria, 210,000; Belgium, 159,000; Eng- land, 33,000 ; Ireland, 195,000 ; Portugal, 46,000 ; Holland, 18,000; the Roman States, 77,000; Naples, 61,000; Switzer- land, 33,000; Prussia, 85,000; Tuscany, 41,000; and, finally, the sums received from other countries of Europe, from the Levant and America, amounted together to 110,000 francs. The legal expenses incurred in prosecuting post-office criminals amounted last year to above 10,000L; and it is calculated that property, consisting of money,jewellery, &.c., amounting to above 50,000l. was lost passing through the post-office during that period. CAPT. J. Ross—Private letters, hearing date New South Wales, Nov. 21, 1.841,just received from this able and dis- tinguished naval oflicer, state that he was then‘on the point 'of taking his departure, for the purpose of explorintr the re- gions ot the South Pole, and reaching, if possible, thoat desir- ed_ goal. The crew were in perfect health “and excellent spirits. In the event of no counter-instructions from the Admiralty, Capt. Ross will be detained in his arduous en- terprise until the close of1843, when he purposes returning to this country; but should he be obliged to winter in those inclement 'regions, his departure will be necessarily post- goned until the end of1844. , PU_saYrSAI—O’CONNELL’S Horas—At the meeting of the Roman Catholic Institute of Great Britain, held yesterday in London,'Mr. O’Connell said he wanted to see the day when High Mass would be performed in Westminster Abbey, and be doubted not, from present ap ) ‘arances, that ere long he should have that happiness. If l‘useyism go on at the rail- road speed With which it has been advancing for the last ten years, and the feuds between that sect and the Hampen- ltes besuffered to continue, within ten years more the great champion ofthe Catholics, should he live,.will probably see his Wish fulfilled. The Bench of Bishops, a vast number of the clergy, and, what is still more ominous, the majority of the teachers ofyouth at the national universities, show a marked tendency towards the new doctrines. All that is Wanting‘is to imbue the lawmakers with the same princi- ples; and as the stream naturally partakes of the character ofits source, that must. ultimately be the result. Certainly at no period since the Reformation has the Protestant Church been exposed to such danger, or have the enemies of our national establishments had such cause for rejoicing as at the present moment. —London Sun.
