BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated'Member of the University of EdinbUrgh, Hono rary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Li centia,te of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &-c., The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en titled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting;of their bitternes s may be removed, and how the evil degree of phy s i cal infirmity or functional deranT ement to which the timely a id of science cannot apply a cure. there is is scarcely any consequences may b e avoided, and, above all, that its Published by J.

The following is a copy of a letter from Captain M•Clintock;addressed to Mr. R. Collinson : " Fox, commenced at Sea July 3 ; closed - -off Cape Burney, July 26. " My Dear Collinson,—You will be glad to know that we are at length at sea, clear of Melville Bay and the Greenland coast, and Cape York is about 60 miles to the E.N.E. of us. " At Upernavik I put a letter 011 board the Emma, Capt. Parker, informing you of the supply of coals, &c., he so generously afforded me. As soon as it was all stowed away and the weather permit ted me, I steamed onward, leaving behind me there all the sailing part of the whaling fleet (4th June). ‘.‘ On the 7th of June we ran on a rock near Bu chan Island (the Cone Island of the Admiralty chart), - and stuck fast. As the tide wa s ebbing, the water fell about 4 feet,-and left the poor Fox with a rock under her foremast, and 6 fathoms under her stern. She heeled over to starboard 35 deg., and laid the starboard gunwale abreast 'the mainmast under water. I greatly feared she would tumble over altogether, or that the loose ice, which lay all round us, would sdrift down upon the ship and com plete the catastrophe. Altogether my cogitations, when balancing myself upon the weather-gunwale, while the water steadily rose above the lee one, were not agreeable. Had anything fetched away on deck or in the hold, I think she must have tum bled over. I did not allow the fellows even to move Oct. .... " Bristol, c 2.

Dunlop and .Schoales, the agents of that line of steam vessels at this port, that the departure of. the Vanderbilt was delayed for a week, she being appointed to sail from - New York on the 2d inst., with the mails for England, France, and Germ any. THE CATASTROPHE AT PAGE BANK COLLIERY. along the deck. Three steam whalers were in sight; but as they could not have helped me, I did not inakeany signal-to them. As the tiderose,the vessel regained her upright position, and came of quite easily after being 11 hours upon the rock. It lies a mile off a very steep bluff, and at the time was capped with ice, and being only just past high wat er could not be seen until just within a ship's length, and then only - from the masthead. NO injury what ever resulted-from this accident, and by next even ing it 'even ceased to, be thought of, as we had come up with the . steath whalers Tay, Chari, and Diana, and got from them April newspapers and some Po tatoes. A few days afterwards a steamer arrived from Peterhead, with newspapers up to the 14th of May. Up to the 18th of June we were in company with some of these vessels ; on that day we lost sight of the Tay in- a fog. off Sabine • Nand, and since then. have been groping along by - ourselves. I regretted parting company very- much, as from their greater steam, power-and stronger crews they often foreed a paSsage where we could have done nothing, _besides_ which their greater 'experience re lieved me-of .all anxiety., - " On the 26th we communicated with the Cape York - natives, and learnt that two steamers had passed several days - before, - Kane's Esquimaux dog driver, Hans, is well, has taken a wife, and lives in Whale Sound. They told us he was very anxious to get away to the Danish settlements, but although he has a sledge he has neither dogs nor kayak. They also Said. the Advance was still lying on the beach', at her winter quarters. They asked for Kane, but:not for. their own countryman, Eras mus York-, who came home with us in the Assist ance. They were all fat and well, and had not suffered-very much from hunger or- disease since Ka.ne's. departure ; Petersen sent news of his rela tives to poor Hans by these natives. " The same evening we ran on past Cape York about 15 miles, where fog, ice, and a South-east gab detained-us for a couple of days, and then grounded bergs and pack kept us prisoners until yesterday ; during our detention we shot large numbers of rotchers, perhaps 1,500 .altogether—they - are good eating. I am bound for fond's Bay, to see what in-' formation can be gleaned from the natives. " Captains Patterson and Parker speak of one of Belcher 's ships as being - on shore to the north of the bay near Cape Burney (from Esquimauk report). Capt. Deuchars says the natives still_ adhere to the report of ships visited in 1819, but he says their re port refers to two ships, and not to four ships, ca was understood in England at the time. He under stands from them that there is one on shore now near Cape Kater, in Prince Regent's Inlet, and that the other was lost previously, further north. Of course he only . guesses at Cape .Kater. as being the position referred to by the natives. Capt. Todd has also heard from them of a ship being onshore on an - island in Eclipse Sound, and which he says is not more than 20 or 30 miles up it. Both reports I think refer to the same wreck (probably . the Fury), and the distance between the assigned .positions shows how difficult it is for persons not conversant with the language to obtain a correct idea of dis tance from the Esquimaux. I also hope to get, more coals from some of the whalers when we meet at Pond's Bay. " July 12th, near Cape Warrender.—lt was not until this morning at an early hour that we suc ceeded in reaching Lancaster Sound; we have had to contest every inch of the way from near Cape Dudley Digges with loose ice and pack. When I commenced this letter we were making fair pro gress into Pond's - Bay, but soon afterwards we met the pack, which led us back up to Wolstenholme Island, and from there we crossed to the north of Cape Horsburgh. This morninpi, when passing the Ross Inlet, a party of eight natives were communi cated with, the same formerly met with near Cape Warrender by Captain Englefield. They have spent the last two winters at their present position (on Point Beatrice) ; have not seen any ships nor heard of wrecks upon their shores, near Pond's Bay, or anywhere else. They know very little of this coast indeed. I think Croker hav is their limit to the westward, so . Beechey Island house remains un known to them, One piece of information was most unwelcome—Lancaster Sound still frozen over. I am - now testing its truth, and intend to examine the ice across it before going into Pond's Bay. " July 17.—We found Lancaster Sound full of pack, and easterly winds pressed in more of it, so that for two days we lay to ; land ice westward of Cape Osborn. Thence we got to Cape Warrendcr, close alouT shorn. an 1 th- cairn of yeAerday and last night has allowed the ice to spread, so that now (4 p.m.) we are about 15 miles only from Cape Castlereagh, but still picking our way thrOugh the ice. There is not any fixed ice remaining as far as we can judge, and 'certainly none across Barrow Strait. 'The summor seems forward and warm, but easterly winds have caused us all this detention ; fortunately we have ample time to spare. . • • Through the kindness of Capt. J. Simpson; of the Heroine, of Dundee, we have added a maintopsail to our little craft. DURHAM, MONDAY. During the night of Friday, tete- the whole of he men had been got out, the fire blazed away in the shaft with considerable intensity, notwithstand ing the engines and water-carts had unceasingly continued to pour down immense quantities of water. The fire was still burning on both si les of the drift, but the chief danger arose from what is t o u p s h little soeefffa effect gas s s p i v n ao e ns 6sifott:satonri and the g f t t h . teh b a e gt l et termed a " blo wer " o f gas, w hi ch came out of the the e difficulty t . d Theerbse o accomplished was to extinguish the light, and to allow the gas to escape in its fluid form. With this view various expedients were tried, but without effect. The fire continued to burn throughout the whole of Saturday, and •early on Sunday morning two explosions of gas took place in the shaft, the first about one o'clock in the morning, and the second about two. It was then resolved to try to knock out the gas by an explosion of gunpowder, and for this purpose one of the small cannons belonging to Mr. W. L. Wharton, of this city, was procured. After being ramtned• with powder .to the very muzzle, a fuzee was attached, and it was let down the shaft as far as the " blower." Soon afterwards it exploded with a terrible report, which shook the houses in the neighbourhood. The rebound snap ped the heavy chain to which the cannon was attached, and the cannon fell into the water at the bottom of the pit. Several blasts of gunpowder were afterwards tried, and after some barrels had been expended the light of the " blower ", was knoeled._ out abOut four o'clock on Sunday afternoon. Thirteen engines were at work on Sunday pouring their continuous streams of water into the pit. An impression prevailed among the men on Friday night that their bodily wants had not been sufficiently eared for by the colliery authorities, and during the night some miscreant cut the hose of one of the engines. It was a most providential circumstance that the fire was suffi ciently subdued on Friday morning to enable a descent of the shaft to be made, for, had a few hours more elapSed, the whole 86 who were in - the pit must inevitably have Ferished. The whole ventila tion of the mine had been destroyed, and no fresh air could be supplied, except what was carried down by the rater. Those who had congregated round the bottom of the shaft breathed freely enough ; but the men in the works were nearly all found in a comatose state, and presented the ap pearance of having been drugged. Very few, indeed, were conscious of the efforts which were being made to rescue them, for the heavy stagnant air had sent most of them off into a profound sleep, which, but for their timely rescue, would have ended in death. Those in the workings who retained possession of their senses dare not attempt to make towards the mouth of the shaft, because, being in total dark ness, they were afraid of being lost in the intricacies of the mine, or getting into places where they would have been overpowered by the bad air. Those who were found dead had evidently died a painless death, having by an insensible gradation passed from sleep into eternity. The statements of the survivors prove this, for one young man named Grey says that he slept from one o'clock on Thursday until three o'clock on Friday, when he awoke and tried to arouse a companion who had gone off into the same state of deep slumber. In this attempt Grey again began to feel himself overpowered, when at this juncture he was discovered by those who were searching the pit. The fate of George Robson, deputy overman, was exceedingly melan choly. He had been at the bottom of the shaft up to the time 50 of the men and boys had been got out, and had manifested the greatest anxiety for those who had been under his control. He after wards wandered off unperceived into the workings, and the impure air had, it is supposed, affected his senses, for when found some time subsequently he was lying in the water with his clothes off and his watch under his head,having apparently laid down with the belief that he was going to bed. Three of the bodies were found lying about 50 yards from the west of the shaft, four were in the north district, and two in the west district. The air was very impure in the places where they were found, . and with the exception of Robson, who it pro• bable was drowned, they had all been killed by the " stithe" or sulphurous emission from the fire. The staple was filled with rubbish last evening. There have not been any indications of fire this morning, and it is doubtless completely extinguished. The inquest on the unfortunate men and boys was opened on Saturday by Mr. D. Trotter, deputy coroner, at High Page Bank Farm. 'Witnesses having been called to identify the bodies, the in quest was adjourned until Wednesday week. The Bishop of Durham visited the scene of the catastrophe on Saturday, and administered spiritual consolation to those whose relations and friends have been so untimely cut off; and he also ad dressed a few earnest observations to those who had been rescued from a terrible death. " July 24th (Possession Bay south 10 miles). — Since the 17th we have been almost constantly be set. The ice carried us about 40 miles N.E. of Cape Castlereagh. Last night it opened sufficiently for us to steam through, and now, although not in clear water, we arglree to move upon our course; the wind for the last four days has been westerly, so that I hope a vast clearance has taken place in Barrow Strait. Three days ago, just as I had succeeded iu making an advance of half a mile after seven hours steaming and blasting, and was thinkins myself the most unfortunate individual in the Arctic world, the Tay was discovered in the north-cast struggling through- the ice.; from her greater power she was able to make better progress, and by midnight seemed to have reached sonic water to the eastward and was soon out of sight. I determined to regain the land, and now esteem myself fortunate in hav ing done so. Our coals have been sadly - worked since leaving Upernavik, but even if I fail to get any from the whalers at Pond's Bay I can fill up at Beechey. We have not quite 35 tons on board. "July 26 (off Cape Burney, 15 miles north of Pond's Bay)—Yesterday we joined the Diana, and as she is likely to go to England before the close of the season, having already killed 12 whales, I in tend to finish this long letter and put it on board her. This evening we arc both fast to a loose floe, and drifting with the current about 15 miles a-day to the southward, and along the edge of the land Sound, ice, Bor 9 miles off shore. The Diana reached the nor th water off Cape York a few days before us, but although,she went up to Whale Sound, could find no place to cross the middle ice to greater ad vantage than where we did a few days after her. She made the land off Jones' Somidland her subse quent track has been precisely similar to ours. She affotds no additional information with respect to the state and position of the pack. There appears to be water off Ponds Bay, and as the land ice is still fast, we may expect still to find the natives at Button Point. Time flies rapidly, and still no kind west erly winds. If I was independent of Beechey Island it would be as good as a week's addition to the length of the season. The Diana is, like ourselves, anxious to get to Pond's Bay. There is no wind and much loose ice about. I think we shall certainly get there to-morrow, and, if necessary, I shall de vote a week or even a fortnight to the business of extracting information from the natives. . . . " The weather continues unusually warm and calm, and the land looks as if it had already expe rienced a hot sunimer. For = the _present adieu. — Sincerely TOUTS, Throughout Sunday and Sunday night men were actively employed in filling up the staple, Ti fa thoms in depth, which communicates with the drift. "F. L.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse`which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food ; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained , no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, Rm., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for theraselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. ARRIVAL OF A FORTY-FIVE TON CUTTER FROM NEW YORK. SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY. Many of the readers of The Sun will doubtless remember the arrival at Liverpool, in July, 1857, of a small craft named the Charter Oak, only 23 tons burden, from New York, her owner and builder having performed the perilous passage across the Atlantic in this frail bark with a single com panion. The adventurous navigator, whose name is Charles R. Webb, has now accomplished a second' enterprise of the kind, having arrived at this port on Saturday evening in a small cutter named the. Christopher Columbus, this time accompanied by two boys, both 18 Years of age, neither of them previously acquainted with nautical pursuits. The cutter sailed from New York 011 the 19th of August, and has occupied 45 days in the voyage. She is only 45 tons burden, 53 feet in length over all, 45 feet keel, 16 feet in width, and the mast is 50 feet 6 inches long. She has no raised bulwarks, the deck being 'protected by a stout rope sustained by iron stanchions. Her greatest draught of water is 6 feet. A more frail-looking bark in which to cross the stormy Atlantic it is scarcely possible to conceive, and as she lies off the town quay, sur rounded by the larger craft built for the purposes of our river and coast, few would imagine, or scarce believe it when told them, that this miniature vessel could have travelled over such a wild waste of waters. The Christopher Columbus was built at Stam ford, Connecticut, in seven months, every part of the work being executed by Webb himself, except the stepping of the mast and the rigging, even to the cutting down and shaping of the timber with which she is constructed. • Webb is a native of Stamford, 29 years of age, and a shipwright by trade, his nautical knowledge, as he tells us, having been gained while working as a carpenter on boara a Liverpool packet-ship. This is the 17th voyage he has made across the Atlantic,—nine out and eight home. The two boys by whom he was accom panied in his daring adventure are named George Colles and Sam. Scofield. The voyage has been conducted throughout on strict temperance princi ples, and the stores of provisions were of a very modest and un-epicurean character, comprising only biscuit, mackerel, and hams, with a little salt beef. The vessel is built of oak, and sloop-rigged. A plain cabin, with sleeping recesses on either side, in the centre of the vessel, the stores occupying either end, constitutes the whole internal economy of this remarkable craft. She arrived off Cowes on Saturday at two o'clock, and came on here in the evening. Not the least curious part of the whole affair is the log, kept in a very rough manner on a few sheets of foolscap paper stitched together, the en tries all made in pencil, ink being evidently an un known commodity on board. We subjoin a copy of the log, for the benefit of nautical readers who may feel interested in the daily progress of so very remarkable a passage : " Auk. 19th.—Passed the Hook Light, 8 a.m. Wind, N. 12 noon, lat. 40 31 ; distance sailed, 26 miles.

The Emperor Alexander, on his journey to War saw, had to pass through the governments of Tver, Kostroma, laroslav, Nijni-Novgorod, Vladimir, and Moscow. In most of these his Majesty addressed the representatives of the nobility, speahing chiefly on - the topic of the day, the situation of the peasant class. The Moscow correspondent of -the ...Nord transmits one of the Emperor's addresses, which we translate. To the nobles of the government of Tver the Emperor said : " Gentlemen,—l am happy to embrace the op portnnity of expressing to the nobility of Tver my gratitude for its devotedness and zealous readiness to contribute, like all my other governsents, as far as possible to the public weal. This you proved to me during the late war, when you formed your militia ; and I have not forgotten the sacri fices then made. I have now confided to you a work—one of the most important for you and myself—the improvement of the condition of the peasants. I hope that you will justify my confi dence. It is for ,-our delegates to occupy them selves with this important affair. Weigh the matter well, deliberate yourselves, and seek the means of regulating the new condition of the pea santry according to each locality, and in con formity with the principles announced in my rescripts, in order that the results may not entail inconvenience either upon them or your selves. You know how much I have your welfare at heart ; bit I hope also that the interest of your peasants is dear to you. I have, therefore, the conviction that you - will strive to have everything, regulated in a manner useful to the common inte rests of all. When your preliminary labours shall have terminated the prepositions of the committee will be presented to me by the ministry, and I have already arranged for two members elected by this committee to attend the deliberations that will take place in the general committee assembled at St. Petersburg, for, the purpose of examining - all the propositions emanating from the several committees the empire. It is impossible for us not to.pro ceed harmoniously in our acts, since our sole desire is the general welfare- of Russia. I leave you with the firm conviction that you.will justify my expectation and confidence, and remain persuaded that you will . aid, and not impede me.". At Kostroma the- Emperor spoke as follows : "Gentlemen,—The government of .Kostroma is connected with my family by historical reminis cences, and we regard it as our cradle. I rejoice, therefore, that after an absence of 20 years I again find myself among you. The reception of yester day touched me deeply, and I thank you for the zeal with which you have anticipated my desire to improve the condition of the peasants. This ques tion, so seriously affecting Russia's future, moves me to the heart. -I hope you will justify my expec tation in this question, which - is in a manner a vital question, by adapting to the local wants the funda mental principles enunciated in my rescripts, and by terminating with God's aid this work without detriment to yourselves or the peasants. To pre sent the result of your discussions, I give you per mission to choose from among you two deputies, who will repair to St. Petersburg when the labours of the committee shall have ended, with a view to revise your propositions definitively. I hope you will justify my confidence ; and I reiterate my gra titude to you for the devotedness you displayed for me in the late war, as likewise for your present ser vices and for all your sacrifices." To the nubility of Nijni.Novgorod the Emperor spoke as follows : " I rejoice, gentlemen, at being able to thank you in person for your patriotism, a sentiment by which the nobles of Nijni have ever distinguished them selves. At every call from our country you have always been found by her among the foremost ; thus, in the late and afflicting war you were the first to respond to my call, and loyally did you ad vance; your militia troops were among the best; and I have alSo again to thank you for having been the first to respond to my expectation in the grave question touching the improvement of the lot of the peasantry. This is why I desired to distinguish you, by receiving your delegates Cheremeteff and Potemkin, wh om I commissioned to convey to you my thanks, when acquainting you with my inten tions and wishes. I have no doubt they performed this their mission. As for me, my object, you know, is the publi c goo d. Your task, in the grave ques i• tion now pending, is -to balance private interests with the welfare of all. Yet, I hear with regret that egotistic opinions are sprung up in your midst, I regret this, gentlemen. Selfish views spoil every thing that is goad. Abandon them. I depend upon you. I hope they will no longer make their appearance, for then only will the common cause make progress. I know you have made real efforts and considerably advanced the work. Continue ! This day the term fixed for your labours expires, but as I know that they are not yet. ended, I have con sented to prolong it to the Ist of October. But by the Ist of Octobar you will have completed them, will you not, gentlemen ? I reckon upon you ; I trust in you, and you will not deceive me. The path is traced out ; do not abandon the principles laid down in my rescripts or the programme I gave you. Your labours will be revised iii the general commit tee, and I permit you to delegate two members electsd from your body to supply all necessary ex planations, and these ought to be made so as to harmonise with the welfare of all. Act, gentlemen, in such a way that it may be well for yourselves and not ill for the others. I do, indeed, wish you to consult your own interests, but do not forget those of others. Confiding in you, I hope you will justify my confidence. If you prepare this great work con scientiously and bring it to a happy issue, you will give me a fresh proof of your attachment, as like wise your devotedness, and especially of those dis interested efforts for which the Nijni-Novgorodians have ever distinguished themselves, the public weal being their end and aim. lam happy, gentlemen, I repeat, at finding myself among you after an absence of 20 years." At Moscow, where the measures proposed by the Emperor had not been very favourably received, his Mjesty said : " Gentlemen,—ram always happy at being able to address thanks to the nobility; but it is not in my nature to speak against my conscience. I always speak the truth, and, to my regret, I this day can not thank you. You may remember, two years ago, in this hall, I spoke to you of the necessity of pro ceeding, sooner or later, to the reform of those laws which regulate servitude—a reform that must come from above, that it must not come from below. My words have been ill understood. Since then, this reform has been the object of my constant solicitude, and having invoked the Divine blessing on my un dertaking, I have commenced the work. When, at the request of the Governments of St. Petersburg and Lithuania, my reseripts appeared, I expected, I.confess, that the nobility of Moscow would have been the first to answer my appeal. But it was the nobles of Nijni-Novgorod who took the lead, and the Government of Moscow figures neither in the second nor the third rank. I have felt great sorrow at this, because I am proud at having been born at Moscow, because I always loved this city when heir apparent to the throne, because I still love it as my native city. I have fixed for you the bases of the reform, and I shall never swerve from them." Here the Emperor explained the fundamental principles of the abolition of serfdom, as contained in his reseripts, and continued as follows I love the nobility ; I regard it as the first support of the throne. I desire the welfare of the people, but have no intention that it should be effected to your detriment ; but you yourselves in your own interest, ought to endeavour to im prove the condition of the peasants. Remember that all Russia has its eyes fixed on the govern ment of Moscow. I am always ready to do for you all that lies in my power to do ; give me, th en , the possibility of espousing your interests. Do you understand me, gentlemen ? I have been told that the committee have already effected much ; I have read the minutes of its sittings ; I have 'ap- proved several of the regulations.- Once again, repeat to you, gentlemen, that you so act as to THE X_EWFOUNDLAND FISIIERIES. The following despatches have been published in the St. John's Ledger To his Excellency Sir Alexander 13annerman, Governor Of Newfoundland, &c. • " The petition of the inhabitants of the Bay o f St. George, in the island of Newfoundland, humbly sheweth : " That your petitioners were thrown into the greatest consternation by reason of a notice officially and peremptorily given on the 9th day of August inst. to Mr. H. H. Forrest, as resident magistrate, by the Baron Clement de la Ronciere-le-Noury, Commander-in-Chief of the French naval division on the coast of Newfoundland, whereby your petitioners were given definitively to understand that the concurrent right of fishery enjoyed by the plantrs of this district without molestation or question • for a period of 80 years and upwards would be interfered with and disallowed by the French Government. " Your petitioners humbly represent that by far the greater part: of the inhabitantS of the Bay of St. George are natives of the soil, while all are British subjects, loyal and devoted to their Queen, emergencyyour petitioners Excellency, and elaim respectfully therefore, approach s y our and solicit such support and protection as will maintain them in the occupation of the land of their birth ; and in the enjoyment of their fisheries. " Your petitioners farther humbly represent that the threat of 'interruption held: out by the French is . alr4dy attended with- most serious evil, from the fact that. trade is paralysed, and 'will wholly be prostrated until a fair and equal participation of the, fisheries- be secured to the planters, up to which time your petitioners unhesitatingly, declare that great .distress and. famine will reign paramount through the settlement . " As the settlement of this Bay for a period ex ceeding 80 years is t fact patent to the Governments, both of England and France, ihi.pughTheir cruisers, whose :duty it was, as appears from their practice, to gather - statistics in relation to the French shore, - and report thereon, - :your petitioners humbly conceive that if not "supported in the privilege Of fishing they Will be at least entitled to raise the claim of indemnity for the very great losses they will necessarily sustain consequent on a removal, as the only alternative open to them under such untoward circumstances will be emigration by those who can possibly remove, or, more properly speaking, involuntary exile to another clime. " Wherefore your petitioners respectfully submit the foregoing premises to your Excellency for favourable consideration, and, as in duty bound, will ever pray. " Dated at the Bay of St. George, in the Island of Newfoundland, this 20th day of August, 1858. " H. H. FORREST, 44 HENRY LIND, E.M., " JAMES MESSERVEY, " SAMUEL M'KAY, " JAMES K. CRONLIN, " JOHN RENOUFF, " PHILIP PIERWAY, " WILLIAM H. BAGG, " And 119 others." a Government-house, Sept. 7, 1858. " Gentlemen,—When I had the pleasureof seeing you here on Saturday I mentioned that on the 12th of August last I despatched her Majesty's ship Atalanta to St. George's Bay and the westward to obtain information for me - upon the subject of the fisheries ; and on Friday morning last her Majesty's cutter Netley sailed on a. similar errand, carrying despatches from me to Mr. Wadden, Magistrate at Channell, and to Mr. Forrest at the Bay. "I have carefully read over the petition of the inhabitants there. As Mr. Forrest's name is at the head of it, you will be pleased to acquaint him, for the information of the petitioners, that I consider their petition to be of great importance, and that I will lose no time in transmitting it to her Majesty's Government, for they were informed in 1857 that peace would prevail pros idedthe convention fell to the ground. " By official notices given by the French Commo dore it seems very probable there will be n o peace f and I have no doubt, when the Secretary of State is duly informed of the intentions of the Go vernment of France, the Queen's Government will adopt such measures as they may consider necessary to support and protect the fishery rights and privi leges which her Majesty's subjects possess in this colony. " I pointed out to you, and I think you quite acquic,ced with me, that I attached much import ance to acquiring correct information; and I trust that the petitions and statements which may be sent to me will be such af that the information they contain can be substantiated, anticipating, as I do, that much evidence will be required by those whose province it will become to investigate the claims set up by the parties who place different constructions on the terms of existing treaties. For instance, I notice in the St. George's Bay petition the following allegation—' Whereby your petitioners were given positively to understand that the concurrent right of fishery enjoyed by the planters of this district without molestation or question for a period of 80 years and upwards would now be interfered with and disallowed by the French Government.' " It is quite clear that 75 years ago the French had no right, concurrent or otherwise, to fish or occupy any part of St. George's Bay. At that time the boundaries were from Cape Bonavista to Point Richie, but in 1783 His Majesty the Most Christian King, in ordor to prevent the quarrels which have arisen between the two nations, re nounced his right to the fishery between Cape Bonavista and Cape John, and the King of Great Britain, on the other hand, assigned to French sub jects the fishery beginning at Cape John to Cape Ray.' The English, therefore, until 1783 had un disturbed possession of St. George's Bay. In the year 1792 the French War broke out and with the short interval in 1802 continued until the Peace of Paris in 1814, when ' the French rights of fishing were replaced upon the footing which they stood in 1792.' Upwards of 40 years have passed away since 1814, and, in my opinion, it will be of vast consequence to establish that during this period, or a great part of it, our fishermen have prosecuted this fishery in St. George's Bay without causing interruption to the French fishery. You will ob serve that I seek for information, and will be happy to receive it from all quarters, as I understand the same notice which was given to St. George's Bay on the 9th of August by the French Commodore has also been announced by his Excellency and the officers under his command generally throughout the coasts of this colony commonly called the French shore.' " I have the honour to remain,gentlemen, your obedient servant, " A. BANNERMAN. " To C. F. Bennett, Esq., and F. B. Carter, Esq., " By his Excellency Sir Alexander Bannerman, Commander-in-Chief in K an n d ig o lit ve , Governorrthe elsla and Island of Newfoundland and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same. To her Majesty's subjects, residing on and pro secuting the Fisheries along the Coast of New foundland and its Dependencies. " Before the close of the present fishing season. I am desirous to warn you not to interfere, or in_ any way to meddle with the huts, stages, structures, or any materials left during the winter on the coast called the French shore. If you wilfully de stroy or commit damage on property which does not belong to you you will not only be liable to prosecution and punishment, but you will incur the displeasure of your Queen : and throw impediments Nfi *O4 I
