His Excellency Sir Alexander Banner-man, late Governor of Prince Edward Island, has proceeded to Halifax, on his way to the Bahamas, and the Hon b le.D.Daly, the new Governor of P.E.Island, with his family, left Pictou a few days ago for Charlottetown.PU.VCIfS PLATFORM.Return no man to Parliament that will vote for Minietert, that will not compel their scbs to pay their honest debts.CO.VUXDRUMsToR WALTER.1.\t\u2014Csn a man be Lonest that does not pay bis just debts ?2.\t\u2014Is a men that is not honest fit for the public service 7 3.\t\u2014Would such \u2022 man be employed in private service ?4.\t\u2014Why are the government mployitt civil out- laws ?NEW PUBLICATIONS.Punch has in press and will soon be published s work entitled FISCAL ECONOMY ; or, A New Wat to Pat Oto Dears,\u201d to which is added, \u201c A Way to Live without Paying at all.\u201d The work will be illuitrated with aketebes from life, with graphic descriptions of certain well-known and notorious characters.MINISTERIAL DROPPINGS.Tost scanted the \u201c Coon of the Wabash\u201d the other morning, not 11 sitting on a rail\u2019\u2019 or ou a \u2022tump, but seated on a door step in Garden Street, at half-past six in the morning I reading a letter to a suspicious looking fellow from Upper Canada I ! that Punch has seen lately about the public departments, and in company with the 11 Norfolk Bloater ! 1 ! ^ Punch advises the Coon to choose some more private spot for the revelations of his \u2022chsmei la future, or to take care that tha windows overhead art closed, aise ha does not pro-miss to keep secret what he heart from listeners the next time.Pinion lately^ has been tent to the Penitentiary for life.Also, Beardtly, tha circus attaché, who Murdered McAlleer, in Kingeton, and was con-wictad of manslaughter, has likewise been sent to tha Penitentiary for life.The bnmantariaii not ions of Mr.Drum-tnond and his confrères, and the utter ¦baseraeBt of the Royal prerogative, before petitions and mobs, have produced their natural results in the increusnof .\u2022rime.Besides a recent highway robbery at Moutreal, two murders have lately taken place of a most diabolical cha-\u2022noter ; both af\\er previous felonies.The \u2022as at Three Rivers was after a burglary ; tba aflhir of St.Jean d\u2019Atchalloo m par-tioalaf was one of the most monstrous \u2022rua#s which the human mind has ever \u2022oofcived, there was in it the union of three felonies, and the murder wan followed by the mutilation of the corpse in \u2022fder to the concealment of the deed of crime and blood.If the fiend in human farm who committed the act be convicted, we shell have a fresh display of muti-dsath penalty humbug on the part of the Eieeative, and the administration ofjus-tiae will, impossible, be brought into greater contempt than ever.The favorite argument for taking off death penalty fram numerous felonies hss been that the temptation to tho murder of the victim is tbsseby removed 5 but the government by refusing to liang for murder have virtually offered e bonus for eaassination to \u2022ev mee who commits a crime likely to \u2022M ia perpeteal imprisonment.ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.We understand that Mr.Mote comes \u2022award as a candidate for La Beauoc, a \u2022oenty ia which he owns considerable It has been said that the government intend to discharge all public officers who refuse to vote as ordered at the next ensuing elections ! ! !

bat the Russian naval forces havy kept themselves so completely shut up in geb%stoDol,Rod under the shelter of the thousand guns cf that place, that during twentv days passed ia cruising at a short distance from that port, wa bave not been able to induce a single vessel of the enemy to venture on a combat, even with our look-out vessel.On the other band, our cruisers were picking up throughout the whols extent of the Black Sea vessels bearing the Russian Sag, which constitute a tolerably good namber of prises ; and, moreover, the division of Hne-of-battle ships and ateam-frigates sent on a mission along the coast of (Jircassiaascertained that the Russians bad abandoned the 16 forts echeloned for more than half a ceutury after so many combats and labors, along the 200 leagues of coast which separate Anapa, near the sea of AsoflT, from the port of Betouno, close to the frontiers of Turkey\u2014a fresh check, as it appears to me, for tha Muscovite power.To snni an, Moosienr It Ministre, if your Excellency will be so good as to consider that the Imperial port of Odessa has keen completely destroyed by our steamers ; that tha Russian Qrets, challenged In its ports, has not ventured to come out to take vengeance for that cheek ; that the Russian flag is henceforth interdicted, under pain of capture, from ploughing the waters of the Black Sea, which the Csar pretended was a Russian lake ; that all the Russian possessions on the coast of Circassia bare been destroyed or standoned ; and that in consequence the flank of the Russian army in Asia is unprotected, you will, I tbiak, admit tnat this first phase of the operations of the squadrons has already produced waits of importance, all to the avantage of the IVestera powers, and all to the detriment of Russian influeucs in the Black Sea.1 am with great respect, Moosisor ie Ministre, your Sscalleucy\u2019s very obedient servant, MAlULUf, Vice-Admiral la coouaead of the Black Sea squadron.Ths Campaign in Wallachu.\u2014 From an interesting letter wrilteu by a British offloer ia the army o( Wallachia we make Uiefollowing extracts From my Bivouac, on the Banks of tba Aluta, ) Two leagues from Krajova, M&y 20.\t) 1 bare some nawa to give you which is not without interest 1 ended my lust letter by Informing you that I was oa the potal of stArling for JCnUfal.Oa tha ïth insunt 1 left with the real of the cavalry of our corpi if oroec.Orders from Omar Pasha of the most positive and formal kind ware received that we should ad vauce at once into the heart of Wallachia to pursue, fight, wad beat if we could, tba Russians wherever hamlet.The moment they saw us they fled with the utmost rapidity, and small blame to them fur doing so.Nevertheless, suspecting something, we closed up, and began to move more cautiously along, with tho greatest circumspecticn, our carbines uuslung, in the expectation and desire of meeting a large body of the enemy, from which we very naturally supposed, our friends the ^os-sacks could not be very far.The road\u2014which, by tho by, is seldom the ease in Little Wallacbi*\u2014was fringed on both sides by a thick wood, which could easily afford an advantageous asylum to the Russian infantry, If there were any, for it would hare been impracticable for our horses aud artillery.Had we remained as wo were we should have been shot at like a target.We preserved the same order of march, but thinned our column, nnd still moved with much caution.At mid-day we halted without baring seen anything, At 1 o^clock we got clear of the forest, aud again issued on the immense plains of Wallachia.The sun was excessively ho*, and the movement of the horses raised such a cloud of dust that w# could scarcely see 20 paces before us We were advancing thus in silence, which wns only broken by the tramping of the horses\u2019 hoofs, and enveloped in a thick cloud of dust, when a savage yell which I cannot describe to yon, but which was the same as that uttered by the Basbi-Basouks and Cossacks when they charge each other, burst upon our ear, and informed us that the fun hal commenced.We drew our sabres, took up the shout, and clapping spurs to our horses, our regiment dashed along at full gallop, though we did uot give ourselves time to look back, we beard the other regiments following us, and soon reached the spot, where we saw our Bashi-Bazouks gallantly receiving a charge of Cossacks.A regiment of these fellows, not amounting to more than 800 horses, thought they had only to do with the irregulars, and amuse themselves by fighting them.VVe afterw\u2019ard heard from the prisoners that their colonel was drunk, which is vsry probable \u2014we (par parr/Uhtu) were fresh and fasting; end that the same morning, when 160 or 200 of them had announced tho approach of the Ottomans, be had sworn to cut them into mince-meat The poor wretches found to their amaeement, that they were against us as one to three at least.My regiment charged them in flank and another cut off the retreat to Radova, The Basbi-Bacouks surrounded them.To make \u2022 long story short, 800 horses were caught like a rat in a rat-trap.I leave you to judge in whnt a pretty state they were.It was no longera combat of cavalry; it was a mile* with one against three, a number which, moreover, dirainisbed every moment, as the^r made the most desperate efforts to run away.The affair lasted about an hour, with this result, (official,) 325 killed ; we cannot be mistaken about the number, because we buried them with our own hands, and counted the bodies; 39prisoners; 300 horses captured and kill-d ; more than 350 lances, sabres, pouches, which we forwarded the next morning to Kalafat.Nearly all the rest were wounded.Among the killed were six officers.Their arms, accoutremets and decorations, were sent to the General-in-Chief.Some succeeded in escaping, but were pursued by the Bashi-Bniouks.They, however, crossed the Schyl, and bad time enough to cut the bridge behind them.I was very near being killed.It was during the melee, and at the very moment that I was coming up with my regiment at a gallop on the left flank, a Cossack, who had burst out of the circle that the Bashi-Bazonks bad already formed round them, and wm flying like lightning.As be was within a few paces, he fired bis musket at me point blank.The ball passed so close to my right eheek, near the temple, that it hurt me without touching me, and for four or five days after my bead pained me very much.I had only my sabre In my hand.Fortunately his horse made a slight movement aside when be fired, and to that I owe my safety.My enemy, however, was less fortunate.I availed myself of the moment bis horse stopped, and had time to draw my pistol, when be fell at three paces from me.I roust say that the Cossacks fought like lions, and with a courage worthy of a better fate.Of the 39 prisoners we took, 33 were wounded ; and this will give you an idea of their resistance.We had 30 killed, and a good number of wounded.Our artillery was of no use, for it would have killed us as well as the enemy.An hour afterward we were masters* of the place, to which we carried both our wounded and theirs.It whs a sad spectacle, I can assure you.We were obliged to fire on the BashLBaxouks, to prevent them from cutting off the heads of the dead and dying, and mutilating their bodies.We were commanded by Ismael Dacha, and the Turks fought very bravely.We then marched to Radovan, where we were joined by infantry and artillery from Kalafat.There we remained four days, in consequence of the destruction of the bridge over that small river, which was greatly swollen by rain.Between Radovan and the Aluta Loyal Ora ngb Association of British North America.\u2014TUo Toronto Patriot gives the following as the result of the Election of officers for the Grand I^xlge of British North America, held ut Brantford on the 21st inst.:\u2014 Right Worshipful Grand Master\u2014Ogle Robert Gowan, Esq.;

the explosion was so near the horse that he fell to the ground and was thought to be dead as well us the dog.Since that they are becoming yet more cureless, one fellow shooting a dog in King street fired the charge of buckshot right through six panes of a shop window ! Another in Richmond street fired clear into a bedroom ! which fortunately was unoccupied at the time.\u2022 river as large sa Ute Seme, but much more rapid at this moment, we did not meet «tingle

blown up.Here we are stopped, not knowing whether we shall have to force a passage, ao operation always attended with much difficulty, or ascend its course, in order to find a ford.We are waiting for that purpose the remainder ofonreorpe.The passage, perhaps, may not be so difficult as we expect, fora epy, who swam acroes the river, informs ua that aince yesterday the Russians began to evacuate

ParliavtMnl, and an imanediale appeal to the Country, you art again called upon to eitrcise your elective franchise, and witrithn County considerably reduced of its furmcr proportions.11 there be a duty mere disagreeable than another, it is thnt of being obliged to assume an attitude of opposition to the *\u2022 powers that be ;** and were it not that M Rulers,\u201d\u2014like other usen, are enjoined to abstain from the \u2019\u2022 appearance of evil,\u201d\u2014it would be difficult to find sn excuse for hostility to their aeis ; and none whatever, if induced by factious or selfish motives.If, therefore, lam new in opposition to the Government, it it, because, by their own admission, things hate been dune by soma of its member», which in th* et'imation of the majorhy of the House, are not justifiable, and because, ae a body, we were aecor,stiiutio-.ally competent, aa can he, any future atsembly, to imesiigatt, and legislate upon, all matters, involving tbe honor, creuil, right» and intercala of the country.Since I had last th* honor of being chocen to represent you in the Legislature, in th* navel poai-tion of carrying out the frincipU* of Responsible Government, ao different in it* operation to the *y*tem that formerly prevailed, I have endeavored to avoid any proeeedure that might injuriously affect the interests of tho county.Never shall I forget thekindiy spirit of yoer addreaa on the day of nomination, nor have I presumed, because you to favorably expressed yoerselvnt, to abut* (be power with which your subsequent votes at the hasting* invested me.My only regret, at the preaentiimc is, that, from cause*, the principal one of which, end the source of othere, the contrat of my election, 1 have not been able to do you either individually or collectively, all thegood I should, had I not been harae»ed, and my time incessantly occupied to defeat the machination* of a partisan enemy, abetted in every possible way, by Ihe adaainiatratlon, of which, contrary to th* prieciplea of the Constitution, he virtually beeame pert.In saying thua of the administration, I do soin its collectif* c»p*eity ; individually 1 have found more than one, gentlemen of the moat easy arcesa in their reapeetive department*, and disposed to do, without reference to parly, all in their power to recommend and carry out suggestions made by me in furtherance of your intereatc.especially in Hie Crown Land Department, the fruits of which, altho* tardily furthcoming, will ere long be apparent by the ex-pendiiu'e on the several road* of the County, sum* of money appropriated for thnt purpose.Knowing how keenly aliae you have been, to the advantages, and urgent necessity of having a well digeaied bill for the government of your Township Municipalities, I made it a point of duly to take such steps as were most likely to ensure e boon to desirable, and waa assured by the Attorney General that a Bill having this expreta object in view, adapted to the wants and wishes of the inhabitants\u2014subject to be modified by a Committee of the House and in general assembly\u2014was then'fraarad and would be presaed forward, hut I regret to say that my just expectations have been disappointed, and this is the more to be regretted, as the Bill thue framed contains so little in addition to the one prepared by hie predecessor in office.I have to congratulate the county on the realization of a work, likely to lie of great public benefit\u2014the Grand Trunk railroad,\u2014passing through a portion of your borders, and Ihe probability ol there being, at «orne future, end not distant day, a branch connecting with tii* heart of the County.I shall refrain from miking any comments on the general state uf the Province, further than to observe, ihal the elements of its future grealxess, are by the providence of Goo,\u2014fixed on so firm a baie, Ihal its prosperity and onward progress can be retarded, and (hat only partially\u2014by the mal-administration of our Rulers, and that in the choice of men to represent their iniereats\u2014it is the duly of every elector to set a high value on the pritilege conferred on him by the constitution, and to exercise it for the public good.\u2014If I have not forfeited your esteem, and you deem my past experience, and the knowledge of your circumstances, your wishes, and general interests, of any worth, I shall hope to bo aupporred by your »ufl7.ige* at the approaching election, assuring you that it will ever bo my highest earthly ambition to merit your approbation.1 tiave
