_, ‘Among the variety of schemes which now-a-dsy's com- ; monly combine men togetberfor the purpose of speculating fin philapthropy and trading in the misery of their fellows, ;t conspicuous place has lately been assumed by a society ‘ldenom'mating itself “ The British American Association for l 'Emigration and Colonization.” Most magnificent are the . . 1 titles, and truly paternal) are the professions, of this most that part of New Brunswick opposite Prince Edward Island, .,,di3interested body.

Thirty-four Scotch Baronets are accordingly minted in the prospectus, who are to exercise, we are told, “ a careful su- “psrvisio'n over all the interests, not only of the shareholders, “but more especially of the emigrants confided to their “care.” Besides the paternal baroncts, the society numbers among its palrii partake the names of a long list of Scottish nobleman, of£1900,000 in capital, and ofthe Duke of An— 9153, its tutelary genius. And, not to be without a charac- ter for long-sighted disinterestedncss, the end and aim of

“object, and to render the most important advantages to the “community.” With this overpmveriiig stoek-in-trade the association professes to commence business. ' The companmkindly undertakes to risk the little modicum of independence and customer sacrifices, for the sake of the speculation; and, with equal good-nature, promises to participate, “ for the be- . “uefit ofthe shareholders,” in any profits which that venture may? realize, and—to leave him to bear any loss. For car- rying out this commercial enterprise, it rather novel mode .ot’advertising, and that without expense, has been hit upoh. the body corporate, “the child of the Duke ofAnuxbs,” with all his baroncts and philanthropy, has been bodil before the Loan MAYOR. He went there, as be said, to “ all lenge” would “operate as a gcod mlvcrtiseincn‘t.” We hope so too; most “challenges” do so operate; but the result is not generally to the advantage ofthe pugnacious challenger --if he happen to come ofi'second best. In the present iii- stance, as we shall see, “inquiry” had the best of- it. . It appears that either the long string of names which were appended to the association, or the paper million of

“puuds Scots,” or the benevolence of the baronets, aided by other more questionable proceedings, which we shall

shortly explain, induced several persons, all of whom appear to_ have been in a state of very sufficient independence here —some earning as much as £2 per Week—to listen to the seductive tales oftliis “association,” and to sacrifice their

pects for the sake of the golden harvests of British mh America. Unhappily, however, for itself, but fortn- nater for the intended emigrants, the association was not able even to get so far in its speculation as to ship ofl'its .victims. The contracts with the emigrants were violated in the outset; and the Association, with all its humanity and appendages, was brought up on a charge of swindling. The culprit was on Monday remanded until Wednesday, but the following any suspicious looking facts came out in evidence :—

A Mr. Harmon was employed, or took upon himself—for it was not intended that he should be fixed with agency—to contract with mechanics and other fit persons who \vere earning a comfortable competence here, to go out to Prince Edward Island, on the strength of being employed on their arrival by the association at much higher rates of wages than they earned here, and on the faith that they would otherwise realize great advantages. Now, in all cases. this ‘Mr. Eamon virtually represented himself, or at least acted so that he was believedto be, the authorized agent of the association ;—he carefully avoided actually committing the association; he made out the agreements (when there were any) in his own name only, and not in that of the company; and, finally, the company disowncd him and his agree - merits, when complaints were made of their violation. JOHN BLACKMAN, an iron-moulder, wholiad been engaged to go to Prince Edward Island by Mr. IIALDON, deposed, that he was promised £3 a week for three years by the asso-

ciation. and to have the liberty to reside in tbe~lsland, in which he was to have five acres offrecliold land, at £1 per - acre. ' “The Loni) Maven—Did yoti consider you were going out for Mr. Harmon or the association? I “Bucxiiun said, he thought he was going for the associa-

“The Loitn Maroa (having looked at some papers hahtlcd to him) said, that BLacxuau’s contract certainly was with ii 2'. HALDON.”

Now, the solicitor for the association admitted that the vessel in which these emigrants were to have sailed was the property ol the company, and had been prepared by the company for that p rpose; it was admitted that the asso- cmtion was ready (1 l willing to carry out iilarge number ofeuugrauts to Prince Edward Island, on the most improved principles, just at the very time that this Mr. llamas was gomg about “engaging” people to go. The solicitor de- clared, °‘ that the vessel fitting out was one ofthe most per- “fect, in the opinion of the Government, and supplied with “ everything for the comfort of the emigrants.” And yet, notwithstanding all this care about the emigrants, we are told, in the next sentence, that “the association had nothing “to do with the emigrants going out—Mr. Hannon enwaned “ them.” We must say, that the coincidence is verv refinlark- able. This shuffling and double dealing through 'Mr. 11:“.— non—adopting his engagements so long as they were conve- nient, and making him the ’scapegoat if they 'became trou-

blesome—is certainly most exceedineg suspicious.

Nor are matters much mended when we look into the way In which Mr. IIALDON conducted his negotiations. In one can he refused any agreement in writing, but “announ- “_ced that he would abide by what appeared in print”——the circular of the association, we presume. And afterwards he was “anxious that the witness should go without any agree- “ mm: at all.” But this was relitsed. °

Mr. I'IALDON’S promises, too, ot‘which the association were not backward to take advantage, were of the most magnifi- cent description. He gave the witness BLACKMAN “navery “good account of Prince Edward Island, and said that ho “mighbimflce hisfortune there.” And be added, that tliqland

was “like that of'Glocestersbire or Worcestershire” (beauti- gu'l;yac;munistnutial) “ and would grow anything that was sown . Now, many ofthese poor men had given up wood situa- tions for the sake of these offers, and were literaIly kept for weeks without a shilling, waiting for their fulfilment. The result is, that the company, on being brought up for swind- ling, but not till then, disown their agent. llis neuotiations had been so conveniently and widely conductedaas not to implicate his principals; and his promises so ambiguonsly large, that neither he nor the company could be blamed on their failure. Ifthese are not badges of fraud, we do not know what is. “Bolus total.“ in generalibna” is an old and a true legal maxim; but this is what the “British-American “_ Colonization and Emigration Association" call an adver- tisement.- We hope that emigrants will read and take warn~ log by it.

concluding. One is this—that the present arrangements offer little prospect of permanence. ultra Reforinei's and the French colonists there is no reii

community ofinterest or principle. The patriarchal habits

ofthe latter, their uneiiterpi‘ising though industrious cha-

racters, their prejudices, simplicity, and native refinement of» feeling, render them no natural allies ofthe active, pusl'iing, independent money-making English Radical ; and‘any con- tinued union between two such parties, however‘possible in the loose warfare of opposition, can neither be hoped or feared from them when engaged. in the practical detnils‘of legislation and administration. The present coalition is a mere transition state; we shall have another shuffling of the cards before We can tell what is to turn tip for Canada. Secondly, if we did not look fort 'ard to this second break- ing up of parties, our expectations would be more gloomy than they are. Already, from within the Governor’s Cabinet, we hear sentiments broached of no favourable nature to Bri- tishsupremacy—iiitimations,ifwe rightly understand them, ofdoubt whether the Act ofthe Imperial Legislature is con- clusivcly binding on the colonies, without the additional sanc- tion ofthe colonial ratification. Ifthis is to be the tone ofthe coalition, speedy belits diSSolution; for such a spiritudminister- ing the affairs of the colony, on the principle now apparently conceded of“ responsible,” that is, in fact, independent, local government, .would be indeed a dangerous enemy to the Home authority ; as the shrewd Yankee press basfound out,

generous, however worthy ol'a new era in Government, that principle may be, it is palpany at variance with the laws of colonial empire, and must disable us from holding that eni- pire together one year after it has ceased to be supported by the most palpable and present coincidence ofintercsts.

MR. O'CONNELL—AND Till". “ RENT.”

( From the London Watchman.) Aswe would do justice to our bitterest political opponent, we give the following passages from a reply of Mr. O’Con— ‘ 'iiell to an attack upon him by Lord Shrewsbury, (also a Roman Catliolic,)for accepting the annual subscription from his countrymen; usually denominated the “rent:”

“I will not consent that my claim to “the rent” should be misunderstood. That claim may be rejected; but it is tin- derstood in Ireland; and it shall not be‘misstated anywhere without refutation.

“My claim is this. For more than twenty years before Emancipation, the burden of the cause was thrown upon me. I had to arrange the meetings—prepare the resolutions —-to furnish replies to the correspondence—to examine the case ofeach person complaining of practical grievances—to rouse the torpid—to animate the lukewarm—to contronl the Violent and iiiflaiiiinatory'-to avoid the shoals and breakers oi tlielaw—to guard against 'iiultiplicd treachery—and at all times to oppose, at every peril, the powerful and multi- tudinous enemies to the cause.

“To descend to particulars. At a period when my minutes cotiiited by the guinea; when my emoluments were limited only by the extent of my physical and wakino‘ powers; when my meals were shortened to the narrowest 5space, and my sleep restricted to the earliest hours before dawn ' at that period, and for more than twenty years, there was, no day that 1 did not devote from one to two hours, often much ‘moi‘e, to the working out ofthe Catholic cause.
