proper and repectable manner in future they would be very

Mr. Deighton moved an appli

once close the house. - The fact of it being opened the pre-
vious night was owing to Derry's imprisonment, and he
hoped the learned Recorder would take this into considera-
tion. The Recorder said that Derry had had many previous
warnings, and the nuisance caused by his house must be
put down if possible. He ought to be made an
example of. Here he kept an open house for pros-
titutes who assembled there during the night, •and made
the greatest noise and confusion in the streets. He
therefore felt bound to severely punish him, and the sen-
tence of the Court would be that he be imprisoned for four
calendar months.

ON HERBERT TEIIPLEMAN.-Mr. Scott,- on the part of
Templeman, said that he laboured under two disadvan-
tages—he was a foreigner and a stranger in this country.
He had spent a great deal of money on the establishment, and
did not know that•.ke was doing wrong when he established
the house. He was willing at once to close the establish-
ment. The learned Recorder passed a sentence of three
months' imprisonment, but on being appealed to by counsel,
he reduced it to two months' imprisonment and a fine of
£lO.

ON M. HARRBON WICICHAIL—Mr. Deighton made an
application on the part of this perscm, saying that she was
willing to close the house at twelve o'clock at night, and
conduct it properly. The Recorder said that this house was
the worst of the lot. It was the resort of thieves, prosti-
tutes, blacklegs, and returned convicts, and Mrs.Wickham
perfectly well knew the character of the, persons who
frequented her house. She must therefore be imprisoned
for four calendar months.
ON WALTER THOMAS

.—Mr. Deighton handed up a
memorial from certain inhabitants of the neighbourhood
in favour of Mr. Thomas; and on .the Recorder glancing
said that it did more harm than good.
Ultimately he inflicted an imprisonment of fourteen days
and a fine of £6O, and to be farther imprisoned until the
fine was paid. As Mr. Thomas surrendered on the sessions
commencing, the fourteen days are up, and he will be
discharged on the fine being paid.

UENTS FROM NEW

Sir,—ln your widely-circulated journal of the
23rd February, I have seen a letter from one of your
correspondents in this province, containing, accord-
ing to the heading, " True Statements from New
Brunswick." I quite agree with your• correspondent
in most of what he says, and most of the provin-
cialists could corroborate the same, if required ; but
there is one of the statements which, I think, must
be an error of the press—as it certainly is as to the
fact--namely, that the present promised price ,of
labour in the woods, is from £2 lOs to £3 lOs per
week,— that is most certainly not correct.
I think, and have no doubt, your correspondent
meant 1-

oy the montit, for that is really about the
ruling price, by the month, given in all our Lumber
Camps, during this present season. The above rate
is currency, which, converted into sterling money,
would be from £2 to £2 16s per month, or about the
average of is 10d per day, English money ; for
working

Et,b Lweilij
days to the month; and the rule to reduce currem
into British money, is to deduct a fifth. for
. .

tsritish shilling is made equal to is 3d currency, and
sixteen British shillings make twenty • shillings
currency. The relative rates of money in England
and America ought to be understood by emigrants.
Those who bring English coin out to New Bruns-
wick will find their 16s pass for 20s currency. And
so, in calculating the rate of wages, they must not
be deceived by the apparently higher rate here, to
the rate on your side the Atlantic. In the United
States, too, and in Canada, they talk of wages at
five, six,

.even, or eight shillings a day; but emi-
ants should not be deceived by the name of
for in the States and Canada the shilling
means no more than six-pence English, or seven-pence
halfpenny currency.

An English labourer coming out to this Province,
not rO-0-.;•-• _,, •

• • AA.N-• %I ,CLu..u.y vomin employment, either in the
woods or the saw-mills ; for this simple reason, that
the English labourer is unaccustomed to handle the
axe and to saw logs. To handle an axe, as pro-
ficients do here, is rarely attained by an emigrant.
Young lads seem to take it up best. As to sawing
lumber, it is evident that also is a trade, and it is not
every one who could be admitted to attend the
gangs, at even reduced wages. Then there is
another branch of business down here, and which
commands the highest wages, while it lasts, but

I am very glad you are not here."
With these reliable facts for the cons4,deration of
those concerned, which I hope you w;.11 lay before
your intelligent readers, it seems to nye there is much
to discourage emigration, at present, to any of the
British Colonies in North America, or to the United
States, where, I understand, matters are fully as
unfavourable. A COLONIST.
