and kept it perpetually on the alert. In this war of observa-
tion, in which the fatigues exceed the dangers, Governor
Bruat has displayed an activity and an energy not very
common. Presenting himself in turns at every post, and
ai-
recting in person the most painful marches, he has given an
example of devotedness which have left traces of failing
health and strength in his countenance. Persons who saw
him shortly before the last arrivals, coming from the en-
campments in the interior, have remarked upon the ravages
which his watchings, his fatigues, and privations of all kinds
have made upon his person. Notwithstanding all his ex-
ertions, Captain Bruat has not failed to use, in compliance
with his instructions, all his endeavours to bring
about a reconciliation with Queen Pomare, and by
inducing her to return to Papeita, to put an end
to the insurrections which her absence perpetuated by seem-
ing to authorise them. After having in vain tried various
modes of conciliation through his own agents, he decided,
however repugnant to his feelings, upon having recourse to
the intervention of several persons whose connexions, or
rather whose quality of English subjects, seemed to insure
for them a favourable reception by Pomare. The months
of September and October were employed in these nego-
tiations, which were by turns interpreted by Mr. Salmon,
Mr. Notte, and a missionary, Mr. Thompson, all English.
These steps were without any result, the Queen per-
sisting in her obstinate refusal to hold any species of
communication with the French authorities. Finding
this, Captain Bruat, in despair, resigned himself to ac-
cepting the proffered good offices of her Britannic Ma-
jesty's frigate the Grampus, in going to Raiateia, and
there negotiate the arrangement of which the English
journals lately gave us an account. According to the infor-
mation we now receive, that attempt had no greater effect
than those which preceded it. In her puerile wilfulness the
Queen, whowishes for nothing more earnestly than to resume
her royalty, has taken Capt. Bruat en grippe, and with that
childish vanity which is the peculiar characteristic of savages,
she has refused to listen to any proposals from him. She has
personally, if we can believe the accounts we receive, no
aversion to the French people or Government, but she de-
tests Capt. Bruat, and her animosity against him Is so great
that in September last she wrote to the King of the French,
making his recal the only condition of her submission. But
this letter was not transmitted. If these details are correct,
and we have every reason to believe them to be so, a judg-
ment may be formed of the abnegation shown by M. Bruat
in reiterating his propositions for an arrangement, and of
the strange position in which he is placed. Besides this,
it is notorious at Otaheite that Pomare has communicated
to a French resident, in whom she has great confidence, a
conciliatory treaty, dated October 22, and signed by her own
hand, stipulating for her return to Otaheite, on acceptable
conditions, provided a new governor was appointed. This
overture had apparently reached the Government, when it
resolved to replace Captain Bruat, and, no doubt, to satisfy
the infantine capriciousness of Pomare, this officer, who,
from his services, and the dignity of his character, deserves
so well of his country, will be made a sacrifice. However
this may be, the news of his recall reached Papeite on No-
vember 6, by the English ship Jeannettee, which brought
the French mail of July 15. The selection of M. Lavaud,
already known to Pomare, by former relations, was received
as a certain pledge of a change of measures, and his con-
ciliating character will, no doubt, on his arrival, reap the
fruits planted by the firmness and perseverance of his prede-
cessor, in an undertaking which his laudable efforts have
brought to maturity."

THE

GREAT NORTHERN RAIL-
WAY.—(THIS DAY.)
The usual half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this
railway was held this afternoon, at the Hall of Commerce.
We sent a reporter to the meeting, who, although well
known as the railway reporter of our paper, was refused ad-
mission, on the ground that he did not produce a card signed
by the secretary. What may be the object of the directors
ill pursuing this unusual course it is impossible to guess.
The effect is that the proceedings of the meeting are un-
reported.

CURIOUS DISCOVERY.—Last week, in one of the
shafts of the tunnel et Craigend, the workmen came upon a
considerable block of rock salt. 'Whether there is likely to
be a vein of that article we have not yet learned, but some
hundred weights have been exc: vated. We saw a specimen
which is very pure, and tastes like nitre.—Pertlishire Courier.
AFFAIR OF HONOUR.—We regret to announce that
an altercation took place on Sunday last in Ballinrobe be-
tween two highly-respectable magistrates of the county, old
and intimate friends and near relatives, which led to an
assault. The parties were immediately arrested under the
warrant of Charles Arabin, Esq., R.M., by that very active
and efficient officer, Captain Bindon, S. I. of constabulary.—
