On glancing over thenuiues of the gentlemen coin _ ing the new llouse. we find, that nctonly have all our old riends been rc-elected, butotliers have been returned whom we have ever reason to believe are decidedly favorable to our views so principles. But there is one circumstance to whiehl must, ii little more in detail, direct your attention, as it, in inv opinion, more clearly indicates than any other with which I am at pressntucquaintsd, the particular direc- tion in which the current of public opinion is, I am happy to believe, beginning to set. This matter is at the present moment, occupying, almost to the exclusion of cverytliin else, the attention of our local politicians of ever class; but advert. to it, not as a mere party question, but simply as one in which the whole tem rauce community—whatever may be their views ofgenera polit.ics—ars-. deeply interested. It is sonicwliiit amusing to observe how utterly unabled our political l€I‘L_‘¢l1lI8 are to account for the phenomenon to which I now allude upon any principles of litical economy with which they appear to have been fanii igr hitherto, and the singular proneness they manifsstto attribute to any and ever muse—savc the true one—-the sourcro ir dis- com ort and alarm. It appears, that the constituents of a certain Ilon. _Gont_leman—tlie “ adcr" er Majesty's Government in this lsliind, and an e racer and Dislillrr-—-who hits. on more than one , seen fit in his place in Piirliiiincnt, to outrage the feelings and pour ccnteni t u n the advocates of what is common] desig- nated t 0 ll aine Liquor Law—have, somehow or ot er, im- bibed the notion. that he is not exactly the individual best suited any lon r to represent their interests. hey have, therefore, in t s most unceremonlous manner imaginable, dismissed their old servant. and elected a Gentleman in his stead who, although not ii Son of Tcniperiiiice, is, neverthe- less. ii decided supporter and advocate of our measures. [1,-m-c all di'is.liuhliub' And what tends to increase the cliiigi-,iii of the defunct Primo .\Iinistai- and his satellites is the ntnrtlin f:ict—\vliirli I am informed ti. hriel'ex.iiniinntion of the Poll’ olis Wlllllbllllfltlillllf oorrolmrntv-—--tlist the NUC- ccssful (‘aiididiitc not only pol ed the greater nuinber of really good votes, but included also niuoiigst his supporters on this occasion, at least hno-thirds of all the we-nit i, intel- llgcnce and real indrpiendrnrv of the District he has been ro- turnod to represent . Thus then have the friends of nodal progri.-s.¢ and suflrririg humariiiy gloriously triumphed; and thus has an individual, occupying ii high. if not the highest, and most infiiicntial sition in the Colonv. backed by nearly all its oflicial patrona re and intlucnce—both of which were unscru ulously broug t to l)('ttl‘ on the rosult—but withal—mar the ominous connexion!——tlic ‘pro rietor of the most extensive Ilrcwing and Distilling Htil lislinient in the (‘nlmiv. and, as ii matter of courilo, the intcrcslril, bit- ter and vindictive opponent of the Temperance cnuse,——beeii llltl-lunly and iiiiovpi-4-toill_\' hurled from his proud position, and superceded by a Gentleman whom he alfcc to espise, and who, whatever may be his private virtues and ext-e len- cles, is certainly totally unknown to Fame, in the chiiructcr ofu Politician. .\nd after all, may not this event prove to be simply nothing more nor less than one of those strikin and significant " signs of the times." to which party poli- ticians, of all grades and classes, hers and elsewhere, will do well, for the future, to take the more earnest heed‘ It is scarcely less worth of note, too, that, with reference to the Representation of ‘harlottctcwn—thc very focus of tho Rum and Wliislmy Potter in this Island, and where. con- sequently, our enemies were exceedingly vigilant and per- sevcring, and laid their plans with consummate skill and cunning-—onc Member, at least, has been returned—who is also decidedly favorable to our views. The snare prepared for the entrapment of the friends of Temperance was, it is truc,urtfully devised, and in niousl concealed; but, for- tunately, the “ Sons ” and the r frieii s were too wellaware of the true state of things—in other words, “ too wi awake "--to be so easily caught. The result hssbcen, that, a (Gentleman of known talent and ability has I in been returned to represent the Capital who has invaria ly mani- fbsted towards us the utmost kindness and urbunity, in all our communications with him.

The other Representative for the Town we hope ct to see embracing the same views as his colleague, on this momen- tous question, and adopting a similar line of conduct with reference there In connection with this subject I bcgv lso to inform on, that the services of our wort P.G. .P.

Being at present unable to visit, personally, the various Districts of the Island, and believing that the interests of our Ordor, and, through it, those of our fellow colonists ncrally, would be materially romotcd thereby, I have dzsmcd it advisable to cause u mniission to be issued, under Seal of the Grand Divisim, constituting Brother Arbucklc my Deputy for the whole Island.

Jsssssibrqlussssdissclosu-issy totasfirlmv dis of After which the Session was closed wit the usual formalities, and at a late hour the Meeting broke up GENERAL ‘SELECTIONS- TIIADE WITH JAPAN. A California paper gives the following upon this sub. jcct: “ A business traiisaciion took place a few days since that is likely to be productive ofiniportaiit results in the history of the commercial world. A purchase of ,000 pounds of rice was made by one of our most respectable Chinese merchants, which it is proposed to ship to Japan on board the ship Hamilton, which is now under Chinese colours—-having been purchased from her American owners by two wealthy Chinese iner- chants. The Chinese have long been on trading terms with the Japanese, and their vessels are allowed to enter their ports and trade. The undertaking is a novel one, and in the event of its succeeding, it would not require the foresight of a prophet, to predict a very sudden increase in the mercantile marine of China; which would soon be able to show as handsome a fleet of clippers as any nation in the world. It would not be strange were it to happen that the opening ofthe ports of Japan should be brought about by the Chinese who have settled in California. Indeed, we are strongly inclined to the belief that such will be the case; and that the world will yet have to acknowledge themselve indebted to California for it all. The powerful change‘ going on throughout the world——thc result of the gold discoveries—are every day becomming more and more apparent, and it would not be presumptuous to suppose that the ports ofJapnn will be as free to the world be- fore three years, as are those of China now.” —- CAUSE FOR NATIONAL GRATULATION. In a recent address, Hon. Edward Everett, while referring to the vast sums paid in the United States for the relief of poor emigrants from Europe, said that when he was Minister to the.Coiirt of St. James, he received ti letter from one of the interior counties of England, telling him that they had in their House of Correction an American seamen, whom they were de- sirous of being rid of. He wrote back that he might be sent to London, where he would be shipped to the United States; adding the suggestion, that if her Ma- jesty's Minister at VVnshington were applied to in a similar way by the overseer-s of the poor and wardens ofthe prisons in the United States, he would be pretty busily engaged. ‘‘I really felt pleased," said he, “ at n time when my own little State of Massachusetts was assisting from ten to twelve thousand destitute British subjects annually, to be able to relieve the British em- pire, ‘upon whose dominions the sun never sets,’ of the only American pauper quartered upon it." CURIOUS MENTAL PHENOMENA. Dr. Carpenter is delivering a course of lectures in Manchester, England, on the physiology of the ner- vous system. In his fiftli lecture the doctor related some curious instances of aberration of mind. He spoke ofa very learned professor, some years ago, at Aberdeen, Dr. Robert Hamilton, whose essay on the national debt of England largely contributed to the abolition of the sinking fund. In public this man was a shadow. He pulled off his hat to his own wife in the streets, and apologized for not having the pleasure of her acquaintance. He went to one of his classes early in the morning, with one of his wifc’s white stock- ings on one leg, and ii black one on the other. He often spent the whole time ofthe class in moving from the table the hats, which his students as constantly re-' , turned. He sometimes invited the students to call ‘ upon him, and then fined them if they called. He ran i against a cow, and begged her pardon. called her i madam, hoping she had not been hurt. e would run ’ against posts, and chide them for not getting out of the , way. Yet if any one was with him at the time, his ! conversation would be perfectly logical. Another in- ; stance of absence of mind was quoted in the case of a G Scotch clergyman, who was invited to 0. party in Edin- I burgh, at n time when it was usual to mix devotion with . social intercourse. He was requested to conduct the l services before the company broke up; and be there- f fore knelt down and began to pray in an appropriate manner. But soon he apparently entirely forgot where he was, and he continued his prayer as ifin the quiet- uds of his own chamber. He made reflections, in the prayer, on the mode in which he had spent the even- ing, and on the individuals present with him at the party. When he had concluded his prayer he rose up, took off his cost and waistcoat, and was about to pro- ceed to further extremities, when his friends stopped him. More familiar instances of absence of mind were mentioned as occurring to more than one gentleman, who have been known to go up stairs to dress for an evening party and have actually undressed and got into bed, while their wives, perhaps, were waiting for them below! Afier giving other cases of spontaneous mcntalabstruction, the lecturer spoke of the case of in- duced reverie, commonly known under the absurd mime ofelcbti-obiology. All the essential phenomena of this state had been shown to him (several years be- fore "electrobiology " was brought before the public) by Mr. Braid, in the person ofa gentleman well known in Manchester, a man of high intelligence, and utterly incapable of deceiving, who has the power of spon- tuneous abptrection in u very remarkable degree, and who, when fixing his attention for I very few seconds upon any object, loses so entirely his voluntary con- trol, that he is completely at the mercy of external sup cations, as his whole mind is for the time possessed with whatever ides may be communicated to him by another. This be (Dr. Carpenter) considered to be the essential character of this state of the mind-I aoodlllon in which the power of the will over the cur- rent of. thought is entirely suspended, while the son- soriuiu is more open to sxtruvugcnt expressions than it is in ordinary reverie; butoslifiilsstlc two sistsssrs -ssssniluny-its sewn New Series.” ‘No. 69. ARTIFICIAL MARBLE. Mr. Benjamin Hardinge, of Cincinnati, has made a yiiluable discovery in synthetic chemistry, by which he lls enabled to produce an artificial marble from common pebbles and sand. It is stated by the Express Messen- ger that he is about to erect in or near the city of Mon- treal. a model palace, to be built entirely ofmarblc and precious stones. The stories for the walls, which are ‘now mpulding. are formed of silicates in combination with _ininci-al earths and pebbles, and an lur spots of granite variegated with mineral oxides. e roof will be a lava of crystallized silicates of lime and white alu- mina, resembling the snow crust. The floors to be of the same material, coloured in mosaic with oxides of minerals. The style of architecture will be unique. The pillars, pilnsters, columns, capitals, cornices, ur- chitraves, mantels, &c., will be of agate, jss r, porn phyry, &c., .with colossal statuar of snow-Iv its inur- _ble. The inside finish of the wal s will be of porcelain, in landscapes, with ceiling of fresco of porcelain, coloured in rosewood and zebra wood, inlaid with pearl. The tables, both tops and frames, will be of sapphire and amethyst, embedded with bands of opsl—otlierI of lapislnzuli, chalcedony, onyx, set with garnet, topu, ruby, and cornelian. Others with entire frames of blood-stone moulded in rich patterns of alto-relieve, with tops of onyx, and other chalcedonic formations. SUBSTITUTES FOR THE POTATO. The failure ofthe potstocrop three or fouryenrs ego —and the fears which exist lest the disease may be u permantly recurring one, if not too deep-seated to be ever eradicated—haivc led to many investigations and experiments with a view to replace it by some other esculent or substance that will equally answer its func- tioiis iii the animal economy. Oatmeal, Indian corn, and saw-dust have been ti-ied—but without success. More recently the land of the potato has been searched for substitutes: and two tubers have been sent over to France by the French Consul at the republic of Ecua- ,dor which are supposed to possess many of the requisite qualities. The Iiocas is in the form of a kidney—is red and yellow in the fruit —and tastes like a chesnut. The millico is more like a potato both in form, taste and color. These are both now growing in the Jardin des Plantes:—the facts needful to be ascertained being, whether they will grow in these’ latitudes and propagate with sufiicient rapidity. he experiment is one of much human interest. The root must possess a rare combination of good qualities which shall succeed in taking the place ofthe potiito. The latter is nutritive, fecund, healthy, pleasant to the taste, and mixes easily with almost every other kind of food. It is remarkably cheap, will grow in nearly all climates, and preserves its virtues longer in its natural condition than most tu- bers. Still, the bounty of nature cannot be presumed to be exhaustible. The world went on a long time in- diflbrently well without the potato—still longer without tea or coffee. There was a civilization before the silk worm was discovered, and sugar is a modern improve- ment in diet. Nature, beyond doubt, has many won- ders yet in her storehouse: and if there be nothing new under the sun in the sense absolute, there are many things which are so relative] . The hocas may, for siight we know, super-cede the potato. SALMON FISHING IN THE NEPISIGUIT ‘AND RESTIGOUCNE RIVERS» We are indebted to the Miramichi Gleaner for the appended sketch, furnished by a correspondent st Res- tigouche, dated Aug. 25: ' "I must not forget to mention, among the passing events ofthe day, the visit to this quarter, oftwo young En lish Ofiicers, one belonging to the 76th Regiment of oot, the other to the Royal Artilleyiy, both at present stationed in Halifax, Nova Scotis. hose young gen- tlemen were on a tour of pleasure, and spent a few weeks on the Bsthurst waters, in piscatory ' ursuits, where after capturing about 80 salmon, they le for the Restigouche, to view its rich scenery, being under the impression that it afforded no great sport to the Angler in the shape of salmon fishing. But in this they were mistaken, for stopping a day at the mouth of the Meta- pediac, and putting their fishing tackle together, one of the sportsmen after a cast or two of his line, captured two small salmon, weighing from ten to eleven pounds. But small as they were, one of the fish rhowcd I-are sport, and as sportsmen would say, died amc, fre- quently running out the full length of the inc, then plunging and rearing, like some fiery steed when rc- strsined by the bit, next throwing itself some feet out of the water, and not until an hour had well nigh ex- pired, could he be induced to come within range of the gafi'. The other gent, less fortunate, or perhaps I should say, more ambitious, not satisfied with the taking of small fry, persuaded one of the larger kind to take hold of his hook, but by a well directed plunge, and a toss of its tail, snapped the hook in s twinkling, and without much ceremony took French leave, when, after ii lively skip or two on the surface of the water, by way of contempt, sunk to rise no more, at least for s time, to any artificial object, thus proving, to the Sportsman, that our Restigouchc fish are not to be taken by trifies, nor yet without I struggle for their litb._ Those are the firet salmon, in m knowledge, tufi \ with book and line in the Rcsti ouc waters, exception of one taken on the ctppcdiuc wei int 10 unds, as already noticed in the leaner, all on it lion fact that the Restigonchc waters abound it! So neg during the summer season, but from there being no‘ in. pediments in those Rivers to prevent fish ti-om up them to any distance, their haunts and pools are only known to the inhabitants and linnbcrmcn. A stranger therefore wiihouta uidc. wii ht meet with but poor success. It is u furt cr fact.t ‘the Resti- ouche Salmon are much In or than any other taken in the northren rivers, with t s exception ofthe Cuc- cnpediu, on the Canada lille of the Bay. and u salmon a year or two ago, weigh" cone ounces ‘when cleaned, some of the older iohuiitunts bsvctold ins in tbrmer yours. sslinesi have icing fill U to 70 pouch weight. ‘
