Halifax Harbour, October 15th, 1840.
SlR,—The passengers on board the Acadia, steam-boat,
on the present trip from Liverpool to Halifax and Boston,
desire, before they separate, to express to you the great satis-
faction they feel at the manner in which you have discharged.
the duties of commander during the passage. Your urbanity
and attention have contributed greatly to relieve the incon-
veniences which, under the most favourable circumstances,
always attend travelling by sea ; and your skill and a!tention
to your duties left all who depended upon you for their safety-
little to fear and nothing to desire.
We wish you a long continuance of health and usefulness,
and are, respectfully, your obedient servants.
(Signed by all the passengers.)
Captain Miller, steam-ship Acadia.
Acadia, Halifax Harbour, 15th Oct. 1810.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN Nest to the consciousness of
having faithfully performed a public duty, I know nothing so
gratifying as the approving sentiments of those dependant on
the due discharge of that duty for safety and comfort. That
I have succeeded in my humble efforts, your kind and indul-
gent letter is sufficient testimony, and rest assured I shall
ever retain a proud sense of the acknowledgment, though, in
truth, it is your own generous conduct, leaving me nothing
to do, which has mainly contributed to the desired result;
and, while I express and beg you to accept my warmest
thanks for this mark of your approbation, believe me I shall
never cease to cherish a remembrance of the good feelings
evinced towards me by you all.
That you may enjoy every happiness your heart can wish
is the sincere prayer of one who has the honour to inscribe'
himself, ladies and gentlemen, your devoted and obliged,
(Signed) EDW. C. MILLER.
To the Ladies and Gentlemen passengers
on board the steam-ship Acadia.

Steamer Acadia, 14th Nov., 140.
DEAR SIR,—We, the undersigned passengers by the Aca-
dia, beg leave to tender you our thanks for the kind atten-
tions which have characterized your conduct towards us dur-
ing our late passage : a conduct at all times marked by that
urbanity, frankness, and warmth of feeling so characteristic
of the profession to which you belong. We cannot withhold
expressing, also, our high sense of the ability and judgment
with which you have conducted the navigation of the noble
vessel you command.

We are happy to add, that, composed of persons of various
nations, we have had, through your influence and example,
no division amongst us, but one feeling has animated all,
that of entire harmony, and a disposition to promote the
happiness of each other, and a more sincere, ardent, and
united feeling could not exist than that which prompts us to
proffer to you the sentiments of high respect and regard which
we entertain towards you, and our warm wishes, at the same
time, for your welfare and happiness.—We are, dear Sir,
yours, most respectfully. (Signed by all the passengers.)
To Captain E. C. Miller, R.N.
Acadia, 14th NoveMber, 1840.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,—With deep feelings of grati-
tude I do myself the honour to acknowledge the highly com-
plimentary testimonial I have just been favoured with,
wherein you have expressed sentiments so flattering to my
vanity that I should, indeed, be heartless did they not make
a lasting impression on me : they are the more gratifying,
proving, as they do, how generously you have overlooked
any deficiency on my part, and I am conscious of much in
the performance of my duties. You have, however, awarded
me your approbation, and, believe me, I shall ever 'be proud
of the distinction. Permit me, then, Ladies and Gentle-
men, to offer my sincere thanks for the good feeling evinced
towards me, both on 'this occasion and during the whole
voyage; and, in respectfully taking my leave, to tender my
best wishes for your happiness and welfare.--I have the ho-
nour to he, Ladies and Gentlemen, your faithfully devoted
servant, (Signed) Ewn. C. MILLEn.
To the Ladies and Gentlemen, passengers
on board the Acadia.

Mr. Hastie, M.P. for Paisley, who has been laid up since
about the commencement of the shooting season in the north,
with a broken tendon, or some such injury in the leg, is now
able to proceed to London.—Glasyou, Chronicle.
Mr. Oastler has a long "retiring address" in the Halifax
Guardian of Saturday, in the course of which he touches upon
most of the leading topics of the day, his opinions upon
which are already well known to the general reader. He thus
concludes his epistle :—" My postcript shall be short. In
my opinion all the misfortunes of this country arise from the
notion that religion has nothing to do with politics or trade.
Until that error in the mind of the legislature is removed, we
shall be sure, nationally, to walk in darkness."—Leeds
Intelligencer.

ClDER.—There is a considerable quantity of cider now
being made in Devon, much more than was expected some
six weeks or two months ago, the apples having grown to great
perfection. Cider is now selling at Kingsbridge for one guinea
per hogshead, and purchasers can scarcely be obtained at that
price.— Western Luminary.
