PROTECTOR FIRE Co. OF BRUNSWICK
From the official report of the First Director
and First Pipeman Of the Protectors we ga
ther the following particulars. The telegram
calling for help was received in Brunswick at
half-past six Wednesday evening. By seven
the Company was at the depot with the tub,
and by eight the track was open. An hour
and twenty minutes later they had stream
playing upon buildings in Congress street.
Retreating before the fire, they moved to Lime
street, thence to Middle street, and finally to
the junction of Middle and India streets
where they at last succeeded in checking the
progress of the flames, thereby saving the
Grand Trunk depot. The north side of Mid
die street down to the intersection and both
sides Of In liza street north of the st. Lawrence
House, were on fire. The fire on the north
side of Fore street just below, was checked by
blowing up small wooden building. These
ruins and another small building close to the
St. Lawrence House demanded constant at
tention. For three hours the brakes neve
stood still; the tub stood by the reservoir be-
tween the st. Lawrence House and the Sail
or's Home; and the pipemen ran with the
stream playing, first TO Fore street, then back
to India, and again to Fore. After the safety
of this p,int was fully ascertained, The
Company was dismissed by the Engineer, but
was afterwards recalled, and helped save the
United States Hotel and Market square, reach
ing home about nine Thursday evening, after
rendering most faithful, efficient and valua-
BILE service during the twenty-five hours of
absence. The credit Of checking the fire in
the vicinity Of the st. Lawrence house belongs
exclusively to our rightly named Protectors"

Those on the west side, called Base
Terre, are more extensive, fertile and
level than those on the east side, called
Cabes Terres.
The climate is hot but not unhealthy,
being tempered by regular breezes.
About two-ffths of the surface are I'M
der cultivation, the remainder being COW
cred with trees and naked rocks.
For administrative purposes the Island
is divided into two ACCOMPLISHMENTS, IA
cantons and 90 communes.
The Government is conducted by a
Governor and privy Council of seven
Members; and the Colonial Council con-
sists of 80 members.
The principal productions are sugar,
coffee, Goa molasses, rum, cassia, and
logwood.
The principal town is st. Pierre, on the
North West, where most of the CONNER
cial business of the Island is done; the
Governor resides at Fort de France.
Both of these towns have good and capa-
cious harbors; but the best is al Port
Royal, on the South West side.
Martinique has the advantage of pos
sessing a good College and convent where
not only the French and English langua-
ges are taught, but also the higher
branches of education. II has fine church
es and an extensive public garden called
lie Jardin des Plantes." The Convent,
which is under the charge of nuns, has
$50 girls, while the College, under the
management of priests, had over 800 boys.
Many of the most wealthy people send
their children to the United States TO be
educated, in order that they may acquire
the English language to greater advan-
tage. The Roman Catholic religion is
almost universal in the island and the
French language almost exclusively in
use.

While sampathizins with the gcner-
GUS spirits striving for the liberation OF
ireland, we will not stultify ourselves
by saying that We approved Of the
attempt to invade or interfere with the
Canadians, because they were not the
instruments Of despotiSm in Ireland or
the cause Of her woes. Gu; anxiety
was that the Fcoians should combine
to drive MaXamillan from Mexico: take
possession Of the government there;
make it the asylum Of their oppressed
countrymen everywhere; and when the
time should come for hum1ling the
pride and arrl gance Of Great Britain.
and striking for the liberation Of Ire
land, Fenianism would then represent
a country, where neutrality laws to
prevent efforts towar! the liberation Of
ireland from British deSpotisn and
dominion would be unknown; letters of
marque and rcprisal could issue and
privateers c, u,d drive British commerce
from the ocean; Ireland could be liberia
ted and the British Lion humbled and
Gagged.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.

On Friday Of last week the several
Sunday schools Of this county met in
convention at this place, The number
Of schools represented by full delega-
tons; from every part of the county
may we'll excite the pride and almira-
ton Of the friends Of the Sabbath
school cause. Every sclo)l war pre-
pared with its banner, emblazOncd On
which were words Of truth, fidelity
charity, love AID veneration, to man
kind, and to the Supreme Being, the
controller Of mind and matter, and the
Dispenser of blessings, temporal and
spiritual Songs and Iecitations from
various schools in attendance cheered
the friends Of the cause and added to
the joyful festivities Of the occasion:
as we'll as redounding to the credit Of
schools and teachers. Where all con-
Quoted themselves with so much pro-
priety, and acted t heir parts SO well, it
would seem inyldi"us to mention one
without noticing all; therefole duty
so agreeable with cur limited space,
We are obliged to ivreso entirely.
A basket picnic dinner was spread
in the grove, where sumptuous feast
was partaAen Ct with keen relish,
amid the joyful exclamation and pleas
ant greetings interchanged between the
different schools, representing different
sections Of the county.
After dinner, the various schools
under the directions Of the teachers,
superintendent, and their marshaIs
repaired to the speakers stand where
they were entertained for brief time by
addresses from Rev. J W Windsor,
Rev. Mr., Brown, Rev. Mr. Peat, DR..
Knowles, E P llcLcr.on, I W Lee
and others.
The highes! need Of praise is due
the several marsLals Of the day sor
The very efficient manner in which
they severally discharged their res
pective duties.
The number Of persons in attend
ance was not less than 1900. We
cannot speak to highly of the interest
manifested in the proceedings Of the
day by all parties interested, or of the
order and decorum. No more orderly,
attentive set Of people ever attended
a public gathering in the county.
Their visit Will long be remembered;
and that they may unite III many such
gatherings is the heartfelt wish Of
every friend of the Sabbath school
cause.
