PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND.

ADDRESSES TO THE LATE GOVERNOR.

On Thursday the Members of his Majesty's
Council waited on his Excellency Colonel Ready,
with the following Address, on his retiring from the
Administration of the Government.
TO HIS EXCELLENCY COLONEL JOHN READY,
LATE LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR OF PRINCE
EDWARD ISLAND.
THE ADDRESS OF THE MEMBERS OF HIS
MAJESTY'S COUNCIL.

SlR,—His Majesty having been pleased to relieve your
Excellency i❑ the Administration of the Government of
this island, we the Members of his Majesty's Council avail
ourselves of the occasion to give expression to those senti-
ments of high respect and esteem which we entertain for
your Excellency's public and private character.
In our intimate connection with your Excellency, we
have had many and frequent opportunities of witnessing
your unceasing anxiety to promote the best interests of a
people whose welfare had been committed to your charge,
and the success of your exertions is fully attested, by the
present happy, prosperous, and tranquil state of the colony.
Among the various objects which will bear lasting tes-
timony to the benefits which have resulted from your Ex-
cellency's Administration, we may name the rapid ad-
vancement of our agriculture, the highly improved state of
our roads, for both which we are mainly indebted to
your Excellency's unwearied personal exertion., and the
salutary measures adopted for the diffusion of education.

The kindness and urbanity which we have invariably
experienced in our personal intercourse with your Excel-
lency will be long and gratefully remembered ; and
whether it be the will of his Majesty to require the aid
of your valuable services in some higher department, or
that you may seek a relaxation from public labours in the
retirement of private life, we beg to assure you, that the
most affectionate attachment and rtgard of his Majesty's
Council of Prince Edward Island will ever at'end you.
In thus bidding you farewell, we must request that your
Excellency will be pleased to signify to Miss Ready, whose
amiable qualities have so deservedly endeared her to us all,
and in whom this society has to regret the loss of one of
its brightest ornaments, our best and heartfelt wishes for
her health and happiness, and to express to her, on our
behalf, the high interest we shall ever take in her future
welfare.

Wishing you a safe and prosperous voyage on your re-
turn to the soother country.
We have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient and very humble servants,
E. J. JARVIS, President.

Charlotte Town, Oct. 6,

On Thursday a deputation of the inhabitants of
Charlotte Town, consisting of John Breclien, Daniel
Hodgson, Paul Mabey, William Cullen, and George
Dalrymple, Esqrs, waited upon his Excellency Co-
lonel Ready with the following Address, agreed
upon at the town meeting on the 30th ult.—
TO HIS EXCEMENCY COLONEL JOHN READY, &c. &c.
May it please your Excellency,
We, the Magistrates, Merchants, and Inhabitant House-
holders of Charlotte Town and its vicinity, in a town meet-
ing assembled, deeply impressed with a sense of the happiness
we have enjoyed under your Excellency's administration,
and of your unwearied diligence and zeal in the discharge
of the important public duties confided to your care, beg
leave to tender our grateful and heartfelt acknowledgments
on your retiring from the situation which you have so
honourably and usefully filled.
It is due to your Excellency to state, that a very re-
markable improvement has taken place in the circum-
stances and condition of the country since your first arrival
amongst us. Order and regularity have been introduced
into our financial system. Large sums have been ex-
pended in the erection of wharfs, bridges, and other
works of public utility, and in facilitating internal com-
munication by means of excellent highways. District
schools have been established even in the most remote
settlements, which have done infinite good in disseminat-
ing the elements of useful learning among the rural po-
pulation, and an advance has been made towards securing
for our children the benefits of the higher branches of
knowledge, by making provision for the establishment of
a seminary of classical learning, upon a liberal and stable
foundation. Societies Lave been instituted, and public
bounty extended for the encouragement of agriculture—
and in every branch of rural economy the most marked
improvement has been manifested.
We do willing homage to the wisdom of that policy
under which so much practical good has been accomplished.
But we rest not here.

Under the protecting influence of your Excellency's
Government every loan could look forward with confi-
dence to enjoy the fruits of his industry in security and
peace. In the fullest enjoyment of our civil rights we
have learnt from your Excellency's example to regard
with undiminished reverence the laws and institutions of
our country, and to prize as the first of earthly blessings
our high privileges as freemen and British subjects.
We are aware it will prove to you, Sir, a gratifying
task, to convey to his Majesty the sentiments of loyalty
and affection which we entertain for his Royal person and
Government.

And now, when the bands which have so long unit'd
us are about to be severed for ever, deign, Sir, to aco pt
tbil free will offering of our unalterable regard. May the

A letter has this day been received stating that 22 individuals
had died of Cholera since the 3d inst., and that ten remained ill
at Newburn, on the banks of the Tyne, about five miles above
Newcastle.

WM. MACLEAN, Secretary.

The Paris express mentions that the SULTAN
has declared war against the Paella of EGYPT,
and that it was currently reported in Paris on
Wednesday that the formal refusal of Austria to
ratify the 24 articles, had reached the Prussian
Embassy the preceding day. The following
were the prices of the Funds on Wednesday :---
FRENCH FUNDS.—PARI9, JAN. 11.—Five per Cents. opened at
94f. 50c., closed at 93f. 20c. ; Three per Cents., opened at (41,
35c., closed at 63f. ; Bank Actions, 1,595 f.; ente de Naples,
opened at 751. 50c., closed at 75f. ; Royal Spanish Loan, 72 ; Rente
Perpetuelle d'Espagne, opened at 52;.i, closed at 51K: ; Haytian

money, 25f. 35c. ; three months, money, 25f. 20e. ; paper, 25f. 2.5 c.

The following are extracts from Hamburg and
German Papers received this day. According
to these it seems that the Sublime Porte, as
well as the Pacha of EGYPT, are making the
most active preparations for war :

STOCKHOLM, DEc. 27.—Between the 6th and 7th
instant there were again six persons attacked by the
cholera, one of whom died.

The exportation of iron from Gottenburgh last year
was 167,000 ship lbs., the greatest that we ever remem-
ber. But the fall of our course of exchange excites great
apprehensions of future disadvantages.

PETERSBURGET, Dxc. 247—As the Mahometans
in Tauris consider a false oath to be allowable in law-suits
with Christians, the Mufti of Tauris has drawn up an
exhortation respecting this error, which, by order of the
Senate, is to be read in the tribunals of the Mahometans,
whenever persons of that religion are to appear, and be
sworn as witnesses in law-suits either between Mahometans
and Christians, or between Christians only.

BERLIN, JAN. 4.—The Journal of Odessa, gives the
following article from Constantinople, dated Nov. 29 :

" Five or six Austrian ships, which were hired by the
Turkish Government and sailed to Alexandria, to take in
cargoes of corn and bring them to Constantinople, have
returned to this port, some of them quite empty, others
with half or a third part of their cargo. The Captains of
these vessels say, that the Pacha of Egypt refused to let
them have cargoes, as soon as he had positive informatio❑
that the Capitan Pasha's fleet had left Rhodes to re-
turn to Constantinople. Since the breach between the
Ottoman Porte and the Pacha of Egypt, the Tartars
from Alexandria have ceased to arrive here. Great
exertions are making in the arsenal of Constantinople ; all
the men of war are being repaired with the greatest expe-
dition. All the caulkers and carpenters are employed in
the arsenal, and when merchant-ships want them scarcely
one is to be had. Several ships, laden with lemons,
oranges, and other fruit, are at anchor in the port, and
have been waiting this fortnight for a south wind to pro-
ceed to the Black Sea."

VIENNA, DEC. 28.—The great disasters which, dur-
ing the last year, afflicted the eastern provinces of the
empire in particular, now begin to be very painfully felt.
The great landowners in those provinces especially are
sufferers, and as most of them are more or less in debt, they
are now unable to pay the interest due. Among them Prince
Esterhazy, the greatest landowner in the whole kingdom,
perhaps in all Europe, is spoken of. So much is certain,
that on the mere report that the interest due at the expi-
ration of the quarter will not be paid, the bonds in ques-
tion have fallen 10 per cent. Though not noted in the
Exchange list, a great deal of business is done in them in
our stock market, and they are generally only about 10 per
cent. below the Five per Cent. Metalliquee. They are
now to be had at 60 per cent. The bond. of Prince
Strhremberg have in like manner fallen to 30 per cent.
THORN, Dac. 28.—Letters from Warsaw positively
affirm that the University will be transferred to Grodno ;
only the medical school is not to be included in this mea-
sure, and will be opened soon after the new year.

CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 10 —According to the latest
accounts from Syria, Ibrahim Pacha's army had already
occupied Gaza, Jaffa, and Caiffa, without oppcHition, and
his advanced posts were near St. Jean d'Acre. The Porte
believes, at least it endeavours to make the people believe,
that the expedition of the Pacha is founded merely on a
private quarrel between him and Abdallah Pacha, of Syria.
On the 2d a firman was published, strictly enjoining the
two Pachas to submit to the commands of the Porte. But
the latest accounts from Egypt afford little prospect of
success to the endeavours of the Porte to reduce the Vice-
roy to obedience. The military preparations are more
active than ever, and the Viceroy has madeim-
mense sales of cotton at a loss of 25 per cent.
to fill his treasury, and every thing indicates that he ex-

pects a long contest. But here, ton, the armaments are
very active, and it is thought the fleet will be ready for
sea by the Ist of March. The coast of Egypt will pro-
bably he declared in a state of blockade. Whether the
maritime Powers will recognise it is a question. The
Grand Vizier, since the taking of Scutari, is gone to Mo-
natter. Probably military operations have ceased for this
year in that part of the Ottoman empire. In spring the
campaign against Bosnia will begin ; that is, if the Porte
should then be able to divide its forces. Mustapha Pacha
of Scutari has not yet arrived here.

Until the sittings of the Bristol Court-martial
shall have terminated, it would be highly im-
proper to comment on the evidence which
has been hitherto adduced against Colonel
BRERETON. The members of the Court-
martial will be the judges of the weight of that
evidence, when completed ; but whilst we admit
it to be no part of the duty of a Journal to en-
croach upon the office of Judge Advocate-
General, we take leave, with Mr. ROBERT
GRANT'S permission, to hazard a few words on
the relative duties of Magistrates and Military
Officers.

It is the business of the Magistracy, to whom
the King's peace, for a particular district, is con-
fided, to provide and maintain an adequate civil
force for the suppression of popular tumults.
The Magistrates ought to have their eyes about
them, and to vary the amount of their consta-
bulary forces according to the degree of agi-
tation prevalent generally, or in their im-
mediate neighbourhood. The Magistrates
ought to beware of showing any political
bias, which may weaken the public confi-
dence in their integrity, and should shew no
countenance to the political violence of those
whom they may happen to have selected as their
legal advisers. They should not sanction the
introduction of firebrands into their Courts of
Justice, under the names of Recorder or other-
wise ; and when the presence of any such fire-
brand may have stirred up the elements of con-
fusion, the Justices ought to act with that
firmness, that energy, and that coolness, which
are alone able to secure the effectiveness of
the civil force at their disposal. Finally, the
Justices should remember that it is wholly un-
constitutional for them to rely upon military aid
unless in case of the last and most urgent ne-
cessity.

The Bristol Magistrates are naturally anxious
to turn the public reproach away from themselves,
and to fasten it upon the Commander of the
troops. Possibly the Court-martial may think
fit to pass censure upon that Officer ; but people
at least ought to have waited before they con-
demned, without investigation, an Officer of the
highest military character, and whose repugnance
to shedding the blood of his fellow-citizens,
whose conciliatory demeanour, whose considera-
tion for his troops, and whose humane conduct
in general, must always be to himself a matter
of satisfactory reflection. It is very easy for
Aldermen, who can do no good themselves, to
order an Officer to disperse a mob with troops in
a state of exhaustion, and whose numbers are
so small as to render their action at all events
not adequate to the entire restoration of
peace ; but a military commandant, without
incurring the charge of insubordination to
the civil power, may assuredly pause be-
fore he sends his men upon a forlorn
hope for the gratification of an inactive Mayor
and Aldermen. It is very easy for those who
are not conversant with military discipline and
habits, to blame the King's troops, because part
of Bristol has been burnt by the mob. But if
it can be shown that the troops were insufficient
to have accomplished the orders of the Magis-
strates, and that by attempting to execute them
their destruction would have been risked, Co-
lonel BRERETON'S reluctance may in the end
appear less culpable than many have imagined.
Without presuming at present to judge this
Officer's conduct, we may still say that whatever
may be the decision of his Judges, there are
circumstances in the transaction which will do
his character for personal worth very considerable
credit, even if he should not wholly succeed in
clearing himself from the accusations.

Some further Protocols: have been published
respecting the eternal question of Holland and
Belgium, for which we have not room to-day.
Their bearing will be found fully explained in the
Times article, under the head of Public Journals.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH-(THIS DAY.)

Sir JAMES SCARLETT moved for a mandamus against
the Right Hon. Lord Durham, Lord Privy Seal, com-
manding him to admit a gentleman, named Johnstone, as
deputy to Lieutenant-Colonel Fane, who held a situation
in the Privy Seal-office. It appeared that it had been
always customary and legal for the clerks in the Privy
Seal-office to appoint deputies to fill their duties in their
absence, until the passing of a late Act of Parliament,
which withheld that privilege from persons appointed to
that office after the passing of that Act, but reserving the
rights of the then existing patentees. The Learned
Counsel then read a long correspondence between Lord
Durham, Mrs. Fane (the wife of Lieutenant-Colonel
Fane), and Mr. Johnstone, relative to the appointment of
the latter as deputy to the Lieutenant-Colonel, from
which it was evident that Lord Durham objected to Mr.
Johnstone's appointment. Last December being the month
for Colonel Fane's attendance, Mr. Johnstone attended as
his deputy until the sth of that month, when he was
ordered to discontinue his attendance, and, upon his in.
sisting upon his right, he was turned out by a police
constable. Sir J. Scarlett submitted to the Court that the
clerks had a perfect right to appoint their own
deputies, and that the Lord Privy Seal, in admitting
such deputies to exercise the duty of the office
of their principals, had no discretion, but was
hound to admit them unless there was good cause for the
rejection. It was the same as in cases of ordination of
clergymen by Bishops, where the Bishops were bound to
ordain, unless there was good cause to the contrary. In
such cases a mandamus had several times been directed to
the Bishops, and the Learned Counsel cited several other
cases, and submitted that he had laid a sufficient ground
for his motion.
The Couwr granted a rule to show cause.
