~, IN which for the present at least, there
can be no prospect Of a permanent settle
meut by tho European race for any pur-
pose except that Of the fur trade, the opin-
ion AZ which your Committee have arrived
Is mainly founded on the following consid-
erali0ns l. The great Importance to the
more poopled portions Of British North
America that law and order should, as far
as possible, be maintained there. 9. The
fatal effects which they believe would in
fallibly result to the Indian population if n
system Of open competition in the trade Of
peltry, and the consequent introduction Of
spirits in far greater degree than is the
case at present. Aud. g. The probability
Of the indiscriminate destruction Of the fur
bearing animals 10 the course Of few years
For these reasons your Committee would
recommend that ne pririlsges Of erelEsirs
trade should Be continued to tAe HadsOR's Bay
CompaAy for term Of ycaSs-without,
however, thereby giving TO the chartered
rights thus claimed by the Company any
further sanction or validity than what they
may already possess. Your Committee
consider that Il would be Of the utmost con-
sequence that the best understanding should
b0 cultivated between the LEGAL Govern
ment 0fa Canada and the Company, which,
indeed, there seems no reason to doubt has
genefallY existed between thom up TO o.
veIyfecent period. i5 sllaa
Your Committee have now specified the
principal objects which they think it would
be desirable to attain. How far the char
tered'rigAs claimed BY the Hudsou's Bay
Company may prove an obstacle TO 50 do
ing hey are not able. with any certainty,
70 say lalf this difficulty is to be solved !,
not BY adverse ligitation, but by amicable
adjustment, such q course will be best pro-
moled b5 che Government, after communi-
cation with the Company, as well as with
the Government Of Canada, rather than by
detailed suggestions emanating from this
Commitlee. to.l
Your COMMITTEES cannot doubt but that,
when snch grave interests are at stake, all
the parties concerned will approach the
subject in a spirit Of conciliation aud JUS
iiee, and they, therefore, indulge q conf
dent hope that the Government will be en-
ableds IN tho 6ext session Of Parliament, to

FATAL CAsrALTY.-Mr. JAMES X. HURD,
Of this place, while engaged, in company
with others, in securing a wild Spanish
steer which had made its escape from the
slaughter house, was attacked by the ami
NAL short distance south Of town, and
thrown with such violence to the ground
as to cause conclusion Of the brain, from
the effects Of which he died in about two
hours. The steer had been secured by a
rope to tree, and while the back of Mr..
Ii. was turned in another direction in con-
versation, the steer reared on his hind legs,
snapped the rope and made plunge at the
unfortunate man, striking him with such
force as to break the collar bone, and 9th.
erwise injuring him as above stated.
The deceased leaves q wife and infant
child to mourn his loss, and a large cirlce
of friends His integrity, honesty, and
manly bearing had endeared him 10 all,
and gloom has thus been cast upon our
community which it will require time to
dispel. We were intimately acquainted
with the deceased some ten years, then o
mere youth, and We must say, that u trner
friend and more honest man-that which
constitutes the noblest work Of God-never
lived. Thus go we forth in the morning,
in full vigor and tue prime Of life, and at
night we are no more. How uncertain is
life
His funeral will take place from his resi-
dence in Olympia tomorrow Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock. He will be buried
in the new cemetery grounds, on the east
side Of the bay.

IA On our FIRST page will be found quite
an interesting article on the affairs of the
Hudson's Bay Company. From the posi-
tion which our citizens sustain towards this
company, almost anything touching upon
the affairs of this gigantic institution and
mammoth Incorporation is read with avid
ity by our readers in this Territory. The
report is that Of a committee appointed by
the House of Commons upon statements
submitted by the Colonial Legislature OF
Canada, who, at the same time conmis-
stoned Chief Justice DRAPER Of that prov
ince, to enforce, by suitable and proper
representations, an extingushment Of the
rights of this monopoly company in the
two Canadas. Upon these representations,
it will be seen, is made the report of the
committee 1t will be perceived that,
amongst other suggestions, tho committee
forcibly recommend termination Of the
connection Of the IL b Co. with Vancou-
vcr's Island, believing, as has always been
our opinion that the existence of this COM
pany everywhere has been prejudicial to
the advancement and growth of the coun-
try wherein it has had an existence. We
are confident the free settlers Of Vancou-
ver's Island will hail the event with joy,
and as the matter is now officially before
the English government it is to be hoped
the ball will be kept in motion, and that
desirable end soon attained

almost entirely the profits accruing from

to prove our statement is the brief exist
ence of the puget Sound Courier" and
"Waslington Republican" Although the
sums are small in themselves, to us, as a
whole, they amount to far more than we
ever owned, and, unless our patrons turn
over a new leaf, more than we have reason
to expect to. We dislike dunning we
never have dunned our subscribers, except
in a roundabout manner, such as could
give no offence, and we are now alone con-
strained TO do so by stern necessity. We
hope that all will therefore now consider
themselves as personally requested to pay us
what is our due, transmit tho same by mail,
at our risk, Notwithstanding the mail dep
relations of which complaints have been
made, (even though the mail were thor
ougbly cleansed Of its contents every other
time, our chances Of getting the color will
be better than when our subscribers sink it
in the lining Of their breeches pockets, } and
receipts shall be promptly forwarded by re-
turn Of mail. Should any be in doubts as
to the amount due, we would suggest that
it be in our fayor-Send enOEgh-and we
will give advance credits AS we have

FoR THE SrGTEs-The Hon. EnwARl
LANDER, Chief Justice of Washington Ter
ritory, having obtained leave of absence
for short time, leaves for the States by
the next steamer Also, ELwooD Evans
Esq.
Although the latter has always beer
lpollioaiiy an enemy, personally We have
been friends. During the excitement and
heat Of the canvass, many harsh word;
have undoubtedly passed, but with til,
close OF the same, our auimosities have also
ceased. Especially conld we forget all
that might have occurred during the heat
Of political combat, from a knowledge Of
the fact that our friend EIwool was made
our political enemy from circumstances =
had this not existed We should have been
friends in every sense, socially, politically,
and personally. That circumstance was
simply that certain gentleman who occu.
pied high position on our recently elected
ticket was obnoxious to our friend E and
whom it therefore became indispensably
necessary he should oppose But, more
than all, This gentleman was democrat,
and therefore friend L. could not give in
his adhesion to such principles as be (our
candidatel had been taught TO venerate
from his earliest youth. 1t is, therefore
as " clear as mud" how we and our friend
became political enemies. Now, as friend
we will give you our parting advice
When you get hack TO Philadelphia,
make no more illusions to your political
career in Washington Territory than you
eau possibly avoid, for you well know it
has been al nnenvable one so far as sue.
cess has been concerned, although you did
outrnn your ticket IN every instance swear
fealty to the democratic party-protest
that you never was aught else than demo
crat, md we have no doubt you will sue
ceed. This will be ut the sacrifice of no
prejudice which you could possibly enter.
tain to any of our party, for the person 10
whom your hatred was so great that you
could not affiliate with the party of which
he was q member, will not be there to
annoy you and then, should any part Of
the foregoing be useful to you in establish
ing your standing in the party of your
adoption, just send for US, and inform them
we are ready to swear to all of it. Any
thing, friend E., to get you into the party,
for by no means would we consider you as
political foe of mean order.
But, aside from all jesting, we are in
deed sorry to part with either of these
gentlemen. OF long residence within the
Territory, they have made the acquaint-
ance, and established for themselves the
good will and opinions of all, or nearly all,
its citizens They leave many friends to
regret their departure. ThatJhey may
have a pleasant aud prosperous journey,
and meet as warm friends as are left be-
hind, is the wish of all.
