not. Gen, Durando had been named vice-president of Canonry in the Cathedral of Durham, will become va-

We learn from the Piedmontese Gazette of the 20th, that Ossopo capitulated on the 13th, on the most honor- able terms, Advices from Rome announce that Gen. Zucchi has definitively accepted the portfolio of war.— lt is said the Austrians have evacuated Rovigo, and that the Italian authorities had been established there.

Letters have been received from Turin which an- nounce that on the 2ist the Chamber of Deputies came toa resolution, by a large majority, in favour of the prolongation of the armistice.

The Sardinian ministry is reported by the Piedmon- tese Gazette of the 21st to have replied in answer to the interpellations put toit in the sitting of the !9th, that they had already said all they could on the subject, and if it were wished to know the intention of the cabinet as to the future, it was this, either we will compel Austria to accept the mediation on the basis accepted by us, or Austria would reject the conditions and would attack us. Resuming the hostilities in our own de-

such an event is assured to us, or if we should not have it, we will pursue the war tothe last extremity.

Letters from Modena, of the L5th, state that on that day arevolutionary placard was posted at a column of the portico of the public square, calling upon the Mo- denese to rise against the Austrians, and drive away the Duke. ‘The Modenese soldiers and the Croatians in vain attempted several times to tear off the paper; the crowd that kept constantly surrounding it during the whole of the day prevented them with menaces ; so that at last an orderly was sent to the commandant of the tyrtress to inform him of the fact. The account was probably exaggerated ; for the commandant ordered a signal gun te be fired to call together his troops, who immediately hastened totheir arms. But the population, on seeing this, also dispersed, with the cry of ‘'l’o arms! ro arms! and re-assembled in a menacing attitude, when (commandant Pfetfer appeared, explaining that the gun nad not been fired witha hostile intention, and that his ‘roops had received orders to retire. ‘I'ranquility was uamediately restored.

MR. RAE AND “ THE EXAMINER.”

BE. Wuetan, Esq.

Sir—Having observed in a letter by Duncan Maclean ‘that he draws from certain circumstances the inference ‘to state, that having in August met you at Princetown, I stated, that as my annual subscription had then termi- nated, [ would not renew it. My reason was, that I

expected to be able to leave the Colony in September,

and wished to have as few current accounts as was practicable. I was therefore surprised that y ou conti-

‘nued tosend me the Examiner. Were [ to remain, I fence, we should have the aid of France, and which in|

Would take two copies, because in regard to your stric- tures on the politics of the Island, you are high!¥ wor- thy of encouragement. Of your own speeches in Par- liament, there were in the Reporter and Examiner quan- tum suff. As to Irish politics, you would be entirely out of place to lug these in here, because those who seek for reform in this Colony may differ very seriously as tc the merits of O’Brien and even of the late O’von- nell. Many have decided opinions, which they never

publicly express, because such expression would proba-

bly do more harm than good. Your most obedt. Servt. ALEXANDER RAE. November 9, 1848.

A HINT FOR ROAD COMMISSIONERS.

‘To E. WuHeray, Esa.

Sir—For the satisfaction of those who, in 1847, acted

with the Road Commissioners in the purchase or distri-

Prussian affairs are still unsettled. ‘The King evi-! bution, &c. of Seed Grain, &c., please insert the follow-

Jently distrusts his subjects who appear to have not a whit more confidence in His Majesty.

An alarming riot broke out on the 16th inst. in the so-called Kopniekerfield (one of the suburbs), The workmen on the canal have commenced raising barr- cades, after several of their companions had been killed or mortally wounded. ‘I'he report of these disturbances brought all business at the Bourse toa stand still. During the evening, barricades were commenced in several streets, but were soon abandoned. [t appears shat eight working men have been killed, and many wounded.—A captain in the civic guard was also shot dead. ‘The disturbances were not renewed. —The city was crowded with military.

The Cholera was making rapid and fatal progress at

ROME. All was quiet at Rome. ‘The correspondent of the

i Daily ews, under date of 11th October, says:

Much importance is attached in many circles to the recent arrival of an autograph letter from the Czar Nicholas to the Pope (one of thts morning’s papers, La Speranza, has a pointed allusion to the fact) by which it wonld appear that the head of the Greek schism has administered brotherly reproof to the Pontiff of the western church, whom he accuses of being the origina- tor of all the confusion in Europe, but by way of atoning for such freedom of rebuke, the Petersburg Pope offers iis brother of Rome every aid which mony or ee can supply, if he will now, at the eleventh hour, labour

‘o stem the course of democracy.

THE CHOLERA.

The ravages of Cholera in England during the uae have not increased in virulence. We learn from the Suropean Times that ; The general state of health both in the Ts districts andjthroughout the kingdom Is in @ satis »: et state. ‘The number. of deaths in Londom during oust week is 174 less than the average of i ong sonding weeks during the last five years. t 4 ate cases reported of cholera amount to 45. The rae seems to be hovering over many isolated Pe ads -ountry. Instances of individual cases are cited frou widely distant districts, but at presen

> with our immens siderable. compared with : 4 national point of view they do not create any espe

‘al apprehension. In Edioburgh, Leith, on Pale ven, the malady seems still to exert @ ma ignet & aa enee to a considerable extent. The deaths ¢

‘uuce Damerous in that quarter, compare 11 sitios vulation, than elsewhere. ‘They amount to ish also ‘he 4th instant, Hull and Sunderland furnis ,

from day to day, occasional fatal cases.

THE JOURNALS OF ‘THe ASSEMBLY. Mr. WHELAN,

As one of the members of Assembly, you ought to ‘complain of the Journals if they be, as our Representa- ‘tive states, not yet fairly printed off and delivered, for ‘either the Printer is wrong, or our worthy Member fibs. \We want to see how votes run, especially on the land ‘tax, and he says he voted against it, unless on condi- tions, and that the Journals will shew he made good

che had them. Now, the public pays for printing 150 or 160 copies, and it is tarnation hard if we can’t in Oc- tober get one copy to see what was done last March and April; but I zuess they wish to keep dark till some new matter shall turn us from an old sore. Speak out ‘now, clear and strong—to do so in this matter surely | won’t be treason.

Mr Duncan Macrean.—The Islander of Friday night gives another letter from Mr. Duncan McFat—we beg pardon, Mr. Danean Maclean, in which le Jabours hard to shew that himself, Messrs. Palmer aad company have completely turned their coats, and that they are the most liberal and patriotic of men!!! Duncan, in whitewashing “ self and fellows,” lays it on so desper- ately thick as to leave us almost in doubt of their iden- tity. When the New London dauber first took his brush in his fist, he declared vety pompousty that he would not condescend to notice any thing the Editor of the Examiner might write. Alas, for the frailty of hu man resolutions! Duncan appears to have been a most diligent reader of the paper which he professed to th ink so unworthy of notice—whether he borrowed, bought or stole it, he does not inform. us. At any rate; he has read the Examiner, and finding therein the charges so strong against him, aud learning, no doubt, that many of his constituents read them with astonishment, he has concluded on making the only excuse he can, for his inconsistency and folly in supporting all the bad mea- sures of the tory party, by endeavouring to make the public believe the ridiculous falsehood, that the tories to a man have changed their politics. It was quite enough for a shallow mind like Montgomery’s to hug s0 poor an invention as this, with which he astonished his con- stituents at the memorable Malpeque Meeting fifteen months ago, but now that ‘the guide, phtlosoplier and fricnd’ of the Compact and Official Junta should gravely put it forth, is really apt to give rise to the apprehen- sion that the poor fellow has gone clean mad. For some months we have suspected, indeed, there has been a crack in Dunean‘s cranium, caused, we suppose, by the incessant peculiar shake he gives it, as if he really had ‘a flea in his ear; and thete is nothing, in our opinion, that so clearly indicates his consequent un- soundness of mind as the readiness he now frequently evinces to lay violent hands on old friends. One curi- ous and ominous circumstance, evidently brought about by the damaged condition of his ‘upper story,’ is, that poor Duncan becomes shockingly nervous, fidgetty and ill-tempered when he hears any person use the words ‘Family Compact’ and ‘ Tory,’ or when he is Jed to use then himself. His conduct on these occasions i8 said to give rise to the opinion, that he does not believe there is any such thing as a family compact in this Is- land, and that it is unjust to apply the odious nickname of tory to those worthy and excellent gentlemen who ‘have been Iong known in this community by that party designation. We sincerely trust the condition of the poor fellow will be looked into as speedily as possible, lest in one of his paroxysms he drown himself in the South West, or in a tub of his own whiskey.

As to the correspondence, Nos. 1, 2, 3, and so on, of the new series, if it shew when completed that the wri- ter has any “ method in his madness,” we shall honour

‘him with a lengthy notice. To interrupt him now, by

answering his letters as they appear, would be a6 crue! ‘as to interrupt a man on his trial for his life. . Dunean (has a long account to settle, and we promise not to say a word to him till he get to the end of it--it would, how- lever, be advisable for some of his friends to give hima hint, that there is no necd for all che ugly fuces he makes, and all the ferocious grow}s he indulges.

We regret that we have not space to publish in the present Number an excellent article which appeared in the London Daily News, on the 26th ult., in reference to the condition of this Colony. The Islander has taker: ‘from the Daily News of the 25th ult. a communication received by the latter journal from a correspondent in

New Brunswick, and on the subject of which commu- nication the able article we have referred to was writ- ten, ‘The Islander, however, passes by the remarks of the Editor of the News, and reprints the letter, solely for the purpose of making a gross and savage attack on the character of a gentleman of this town. ‘This was, of course, quite in keeping with the natural taste and temper of our local cotemporary., It will not, we ap. prehend, be difficult to shew thet on this point, as well as on many others, the [slander’s ignorance is just as yreat as its impertivence, andthe Lord knows it would |be a hard task to find a match for it in either respect.
