VANCOUVER'S ISLAND.

The following is extracted from a private letter
with which we have been favoured :
" Vancouver, Feb. 9, 1852.

" Sir,—l hope ere this reaches you that your
health may be much better than it was at Victoria.
Since I last wrote the Una has returned from Queen
Charlotte's Island, and been wrecked at Neagh Bay,
near Cape Flattery. Dr. Kennedy and family came
down in her. When she was wind-bound at Neagh
the doctor took a canoe to Victoria, leaving his family
on board. It came on to blow, and although the Una
had two anchors down she went ashore, and the crew
were stripped and otherwise maltreated by Jack's
followers. Mrs. Kennedy was stripped naked, but
Jack's wife took pity on her and supplied her with
clothing. Jack himself, I believe, endeavoured to
prevent his men doing mischief; however he was
overruled. Fortunately there was an American
schooner at anchor in the road at the time, so that
most of the cargo was saved, as also about 81b. of
gold (which was all that was got, as they only got
three blasts, and the Indians rushed in and got the
most of it. They were glad to get on board again).
The schooner took them to Victoria. The Indians
set the Una on fire.

" Mr. D. has bought the Orbit for 2,500 dollars.
" A steamer called tha Warren was lost last week
at the mouth of the river. Forty-two people lost
their lives, and the cargo, valued at 60,000 dollars,
and mostly owned in Portland, was all lost. It is a
heavy blow to the territory.
" Mr. Ballenden, Mr. C.'s successor, is much liked
here. He has been very ill, but is now recovering.
They have been very gay at Victoria ;during Christ-
mas, and have had several balls.

" Dr. Tolmie has been over here. The Mary Dare
and a steamer have been released ; the company gave
bond for the former ; the latter was illegally seized.
Good grounds of action are said to lie against the
collector.

" There is now a great excitement here about
Queen Charlotte's Island. Some of the Una's crew
have brought such favourable reports I expect another
experiment will shortly start.
" No news as yet of the schooner Earnst, which
left for Queen Charlotte's in November. The Geor-
giann3, as you will have heard, was wrecked, and an
expedition, under charge of Derwent, went to rescue
the crew. They called at Victoria. Derwent had
strict orders to allow no one to land. We had another
murder and a rape committed here on Saturday last.
Two soldiers are committed for trial. An Indian
was murdered defending his daughter. I will write
you an account of the trial, which will take place in
April.
" No more news of Captain Grant since he left the
Umqua."
