amount to near half the sum now realized, twenty-four mem-!

paper. Mr. [ngram, we irust and believe, will not diseredit the honourable plied that Mr, Howe claimed nothing — and that the money

proposed to be given was not to be considered as the payment ofa debt, in the ordinary sense of the term. Mr. Marshall, who was always an opponent of Mr. Howe’s policy and prin- ciples, and is still an opponent of the Liberal Government, covered himself with honour in supporting the vote, on high patriotic grounds — showing that Mr. Howe’s general services to his country were entitled to a handsome recognition on the part of its Legislature.

It is stated by some of the Nova Scotia papers that Mr. Howe is likely to be a candidate for the representation of Sydney, the seat for that County having become vacant by the death of the Hon. James McLeod. We sincerely hope that Mr. Howe may be induced again to enter the legislative arena, for no man during the whole history of the Province has been of

selected.

Again, it must strike every one of common sense how much the publie convenience may be outraged, and the business of the Legislature retarded in a House of a very limited num- ber, where political parties are nearly equally divided, by two or three disappointed persons, elected under false pretences, capriciously Voting, not to carry out any views of their own— (for men of that stamp have no settled principles)—but to paralyze the policy of any existing Government, though they are not strong enough to produce achange. With an en- larged representation, the puny efforts of such men would sink into their legitimate insignificance.

These considerations dim onstrated that the Act of which we have been treating is founded in good sense and public neces- sity—that itis nota party measure, notwithstanding that because it was a popular movement it met the strenuous op. position of the Obstructives, who have no desire at any time to submit to the sway of the popular mind, which the new Election Law is in so peculiar a manner calculated to enlarge.

But in this the great man ignored the ordinary system pursued, for it was not the common clay of mortality which he designed to transport to his “ broad aeres,”’ as he fondly called them, but the gentle sons of Euglish gentlemen, whose brains bore no proportion to their money bags, and who were easily persuaded to lessen the weight of the latter in favor of the great Captain, on his un- dertaking t: provide lucrative situations fur their sons in the new and thriving Colony.

number of the erew of the Barque ‘* Good Intent,”’ of Fowey, Cornwall, G. Britain. The ‘ Good Intent’ was lost on her voyage from Quebec to England on the 2d of December last. The master and crew after suffering great hardships, effected a landing on Brien Island ; here they found only one resident, and no means of subsistence. The weather was intensely cold and stormy, and to add to their misfortunes, their boat got stove, as if to prevent all means of escape. However, after

, making great exertions the boat was repaired, by means cf

which they succeeded in getting on to Magdalen, where they passed nearly five months, completel y isolated from the rest of the world. The Captain had his hands badly frozen, but he has now quite recovered, and is pursuing his way to England via Halifax.
