MILITARY AFFRAY AT CHESTER.
-.ow-

'On Monday evening last as a corporal and tux,
,!:diers of the 88th regiment and two men from the
untry w •re drinking at Mr. Phillips's, (sign of the I
Pare and Hounds, Haudbridge,) a quarrel arose, and!
sh. parties proceeded to blows. After the scene, the
sot viers, it appears, left the house, and returned with
a number more of their co...tades,'ead rushing into the
house again attacked the two men, who had taken
refuze in an upper apartment, and who were severely
b.uised.
On the application from our worthy Mayor to the
oronander of the regiment, those who witnessed the
tr-asaction were permitted to view the regiment on
prirate parade, in order to identify the parties. Four
of them were singled oat ; two others, whom ow of
the witnesses could have sworn to, did not appear.
'f be regiment was then dismissed, and after a short
pause in the Castle-yard, ran in a body in pursuit of
the witnesses and the crowd collected at the north-gate
from curiosity, and some with drawn bayonets, others
with their bayonets sheathed, in their hands, chased
them down Castle-etreet, assaulting and overturuing
several who was in their way, and uttering' a good deal
of threatening language. They were re-called to their
barracks, and being soon after dismissed proceeded up
the middle of Hridge-etreet and along Fastgate-street,
in bodies, six or eight a-breast, which gave rise to con-
siderable alarm throughout the town. No violence
was however "tiered, and at nine o'clock the whole
hAving returned to barrack, confidence was restored,
and all was tranquil.
In empsequence of the above, the exainitiationsof
those 06 witnessed the several affrays, commenced in
the Towa Hall, before the Mayor and Magiseroms--
lasted all day, and will he resumed this morning.
I persons exhibited marks of violence. The es-1
aminations not being couclnded, and the cause of the
disturbance not being established. it is our duty to ab-
stain from all comment, nnril the cits anal:tow
of the ease are more fully disclosed. We sleetwely
hope that abetter understanding will in future exist be-
tweet' the cid:cos and this fine hotly of men, whose
conduct on tit* present oeca,ion, it is but fsir to state,
may probably admit of c.nosiklurAble -

Prim, Edward's Island,
Hills lbw*, 'loll:tad Bay, July,
Mr. JAMrs M•Witto.
Sir,—Having sat down en write to lir. John Thom-
son, about that part of oily family I left behind ase,
take the liberty of addressing a few lines to you, as be-
ing an Agent for Mr. John 11111 and Soo, the propri-
etors of the land where I am settled, and I pre.
sume, Sir, it caonot fell of giving you pleasure, In he in-
formed that every thing stated in the book lately pub-
lished, containing iaforination relating to this pis" I
have foetid So be strictly true. Preen the illoorinhhig,
pearance of the wheat and potato* crops. 1 cowls*
that the soil is good, and I have felt in my own per-
-ion that the climate is abundaritly healthy, and as far
as I can judge nothing is wanting but industry to make
a family comfortable and happy. Herrings and cod fit&
are most abundant, and as to the quality of the latter, It
is far saperior to any 646 of the kind caught in any
put where I have been is Scotland. But, Sir, with
all the advantages which the settlement affords to irides-
try, if I was to say that all was agreeable and that no
discontent prevailed among the new settlers, nothing
could be more untrue ; some have brought with them
all the prejudices of their native country, and Whorl
had previous to their coming hrre, enterieined extnv*.
gut notions about sudden wealth, without cousideriag
that the retorts, of agriculture are always slew, hut
almost always sure. The consequenre has bees. that
some of my countrymen have gone about asking advice
and information of people who are very ill qualified to
give them either, and they have been told that this is
the worst place to settle upon of any in the whole 'shunt
and vet these onions advisers have tired epee this
settlement, some of them all their life-time without ever
th:rklng of removing themselves; for my own part I
shall remain where I am, and if I cannot expect to be
as *patient, I may in a few years expect to become an
iallopendent farmer, and I want only the sbciety of that
put of my family which I have left behind me• to make
my present situation perfectly agreeable. This, however,
I hope to enjoy by next spring.
'Sir,• your most obedient servant.
