THE EXAMINER.

Forty children of both sexes were assembled, presenting a remarkably healthy and neat appearance, and a cheer- ful spirit of emulation was well sustained in the numer- ous and varied branches in which the different classes’ were examined. Considering their youth, and the short time many of them had attended School, their facility and correctness in Reading, and accuracy in Spelling, was very striking; their knowledge of Etymology, par- ‘ticularly the derivation of English words from their va- rious roots, we found to be rather limited in its range, but in this we were not disappointed—matured under- standing, as well as much reading, being requisite to form an accomplished Ftymologist. We were no less pleased with the exercises in Grammar and Arithmetic; and some very fine specimens of Writing were exhibited. This Seminary, during the two years it has been in operation, has been unostentatiously, yet effectually, laying the foundation of a sound English and Commer- cial Education, and well merits public support. The School Visitor for the County, who conducted the Ex-

fair opportenity to put in practice the principles avowed, in his Speech at the close of the last Session, it would be requisite that further changes should take place in the Executive Council. (Signed) Arex. Matrruews, Chairman. 4th. Resolved, That this Meeting, taking into con- sideration Mr. Rae’s conduct as their Representative, and the information disseminated throughout the Colony by the Press respecting it, feel great pleasure in de- claring that his conduct gives them unmingled satisfac- tion, and do declare that they have no belief in the al- legations put forth against him. (Signed) Arex. Marruews, . Chairman. 5th. Resolved, That the above Resolutions be sent to the Gazette and Islander, for publication. (Signed) Avex. Marruews, Chairman.

* That while the Administration of Sir Henry Huntley tends to endear and strengthen our connexion with the Parent State, it willbe attended with many local ad- vantages, resulting from the impartiality, justice, and

‘integrity of its management—showing that perfect free-

dom and contentment in our humble and isolated posi- tion as a depundency, furnish the best guarantee of our affection and loyalty to our beloved Queen, and vene- ration for the time-honered institutions of our Mother Country.

“ May it therefore please Your Majesty, to canse in- structions to be transmitted to your Lieutenant Gover- nor in this Colony, that itis Your Majesty’s pleasure that he continue to administer the Government untii other times and circumstances shall call for a change.”

[Now, we may briefly observe, if the Meeting at Oys- ter Cove approved of the object which this Petition has in view, as it certainly did approve of that object, it would have been a very easy task to have prepared and signed a Petition that would have been more im accord- ance with the views of the Meeting, without departing from the object contemplated by the Petition.
