By the June Packet, arrived at Halifax, we have received English papers to the 12th of that month, and have transcribed some of the most interesting articles.—The arrival of the Queen appears to attract the attention of Government, and possibly may interfere with its arrangements, and perplex its deliberation; it is to be hoped, however, that the inquiry now pending may lead to satisfactory result

On Saturday morning last, about three o'clock, the brig Robert , of Londonderry, Nova Scotia, lying at the wharf of D. McMaster, Esq., was discovered to be on fire. The alarm was immediately given, and the Firewards, Military and inhabitants, repaired quickly to the vessel. The most judicious measures were adopted, and carried into execution with spirit and promptitude, notwithstanding the extreme severity of the weather. We are happy to state their exertions were crowned with success, the fire being kept under until the rise of the tide, which completely extinguished it. The vessel has sustained less damage than was at first imagined. The fire was occasioned, it is supposed, by some defect in the hearth of the fireplace. Where all deserved praise, it may seem superfluous to particularize, yet we cannot help remarking, that Capt. Jones, Lieut. Barker, and the troops at this Post, deserve the thanks of the community for their unwearied exertions on the occasion

On Monday the 30th ult from the building yard of Mr. J. N. M. Brewer, the fine ship AVA, of 462 tons register, built for James Douglass, Esquire, of this place. And intended for a regular trader to Liverpool.
This very superior vessel is named the Ava, in compliment to Sir Archibald Campbell, our Lieut. Governor; being the name of the capital of the Burmese Empire; the scene of his Excellency's victorious campaigns.

The above circumstance has suggested the compilation of the article AVA, which will be found below, and which, we think, will be acceptable; whether we consider the political importance of the extensive regions described, their fertility; their adaptation to commerce (especially in the present state of the cotton trade) of their being but recently noticed in Europe and as yet comparatively little known.

Captain McBean and Crew of the Brig Sir John Moore of St. Andrews New Brunswick beg to offer their most grateful thanks to Captain Coolidge, Officers and Men, of the American Revenue Cutter, Swiftsure, for their prompt and efficient services, when the brig was in great danger of going ashore near Quoddy had, and through whose strenuous exertions she was ultimately saved. Captain Coolidge humanely sent a sufficiency of hands aboard to enable Capt. McBean to put ashore several of his men, who were severely frostbitten, that they might receive surgical aid. Such adventurous and generous conduct deserves lasting gratitude, and will ever be most sensibly felt by those who now take this mode of expressing their ardent acknowledgements for the great benefits they experienced.

Communications
To the Editor of the St. Andrews Standard
Sir,
Having recently been informed, that Mr. Robert Kennedy, master of the Schooner Lively, has reported in St. Andrews, and even gone so far as to publish in the Standard that "I passed him within a few rods when in a perilous situation, remaining on the bottom of the schooner Lively, which was hit by a squall in St. Andrews Bay on the 17th inst., and refused to render him any assistance." Viewing said report, as an unfounded aspersion on my character, I send you the particular of that affair, as it transpired, and will then leave the public to judge, whether I am so abandoned to the feeling of humanity, as Mr. Kennedy represents me to be. . . . Mr. Kennedy's misfortunes I sincerely regret, but I cannot think that the unmerited calumny thrown on my character by him would by any means retrieve his misfortune or sooth the afflicted feelings of that family in the County of Westmoreland, whom, I have too much reason to believe, owe their bereavement, in a great measure, to the incompetence or imprudence of Mr. Kennedy.
I am your Obt. Servt. Josiah Flagg

We the subscribers Passengers on board, the Matilda, the 17th inst., hereby certify that the statement made by Capt. Flagg, relative to the squall and disappear of the schooner Lively is correct.

We have endeavored to be accurate in the above statement, but possibly having reference to no official documents, our statement may be incorrect—a few tons more or less. It sufficiently shows, however, that in the account of vessels belonging to the Port of Saint Andrews, Saint Stephen lays claim to a large proportion. These vessels are, with the exception of the Royal William Whaler, engaged nearly all in the West India trade. The contemplated railroad will supply them with cargoes of boards, more free from splits and shakes than the sluice can furnish them, and loading as they will from the wharves, the lumber will be better in appearance and the mud now sent with the boards to the West Indies, will be left for its beneficial purpose—to manure the soil.
We had nearly omitted to mention that all the above are new vessels, built within the last three or four years.—Calais Advertiser

On Monday the 21st day of December inst. Two seamen of the Brig Agenora, Robert Gray, master, were brought up for examination before Thomas Wyer, Esq. and the Honorable James Allanshaw, upon a charge of Mutiny and Desertion.
It appeared that on the tenth day of December, that the crew of the Agenora consisting of ten men, all shipped about 4 o'clock, that the Vessel then lay at the Eastern Ballast ground, and was to proceed to sea early next morning, but that about seven o'clock in the evening, the Captain, Pilot, and Mate, who were all in the Cabin heard a loud noise near the Companion doors, and the Mate went at once to ascertain the cause of it, but as soon as he had opened the door it was forcibly closed that he made another attempt and succeeded in opening the door, where he discovered two seamen standing near it, one with a pistol in his hand, and the other with a pump brake, that they both swore they would knock out the first man's brains who attempted to come up, that the Captain, Mate and Pilot, not having any fire arms or weapons, were not in a condition to make resistance, when seven of the semen (amongst which were the two prisoners) possessed themselves of the long boat, cut the painter and made for Deer island, where they landed at the risk of their lives, the boat going to pieces in the surf, and the wind blowing a gale at the time. They subsequently reached Eastport, in the State of Maine, where owing to the exertions of Messrs. Babcock and Son and the prompt assistance of the civil authorities, there, the two prisoners, with another of the crew, who was admitted as a witness, were arrested and brought here, the other four having unfortunately for the public made their escape. The Justice committed the two prisoners for mutiny, to take their trial at the next Court of Oyer and Terminer for the County, the witness not having been able to find bail was also committed. The Justices also bound over Mr. George Watson, of this town, as accessory before the fact to appear and take his trial at the same time.

The crew and passengers (the latter being Capt. Baker and Crew so Brig John McCullum of this port, now frozen in at St. Andrews) landed on the Island, where they built a fire. The weather was so intensely cold, and nearly all of them had their hands and feet frozen. On Friday Captains Crosby and Baker, and three of the crew succeeded in reaching Chabogue Point, in the boat, and on making known the circumstances, a small vessel (furnished with blankets, medicines, etc.) was immediately dispatched in aid of the sufferers remaining on the Island.

An uninvited visitor
Last week as the Ship Feliza of Bristol, Capt. Saunders was lying alongside of Rait's wharf, all the crew snoozing in the forecastle, save the watch on deck who were spinning the usual yarns a stranger was observed to slip on board, and with great gravity but little ceremony, descend directly into the cabin. The Captain being on shore, the black steward was called to wait on the visitor—he ran down with alacrity to proffer his services, when to his consternation he beheld a huge bear seated on a locker, calmly surveying the comfortable accommodations around him, with which indeed he appeared to be mightily satisfied. After a short pause the steward became reassured and ventured to present his keys to the grisly stranger, but this act of courtesy not being conformable to bearish etiquette, Bruin returned such a salute of the paw as drove the steward from his August presence. The alarm being given, the crew ran to inspect the new shipmate, but he maintained a sullen silence and resolutely held possession of his quarters, as if waiting to enter into articles with the commander. When Capt. Saunders arrived on board he was apprized of the impertinent intrusion of his grim majesty, and cautiously descended to the cabin, but Bruin, with the peculiar tact for which some bears are famed, shrewdly suspecting he had got into the wrong box, took on opportunity of slipping quickly into the hold, wisely considering it a fitter arena for the display of his burly maneuvers. The Captain highly approved of this movement, and has confirmed Mr. Bruin in his new possessions with the additional appendages of a handsome muzzle and chain. We understand that greater honours await the intruder, as Capt. Saunders intends to present him to the Zoological Garden, on his arrival at Bristol.

Launches
We are in arrears, from some involuntary cause, in our announcement of the launch of two superior vessels built in this County. The first, a frigate-built Ship of 580 old and 689 new tonnage, built a Brandy Cove in this Parish by J. N. M. Brewer and Mr. J. Briggs, for Messrs. Cannon, Miller, and Co., of Liverpool. She is named the Alexander Grant, after the Collector of H. M. Customs of this Port. It is well known that Mr. Brewer's vessels have raised and sustained the character of the naval architecture of this Country. The other is a fine ship of 480 tons register, built at the Ledge, St. Stephen, by Mr. O. Hinds for William Porter, of St. Stephen. Those who recollect the Sir John, constructed by the same builder for our enterprising friend Mr. Porter, will not require any encomium from us on the professional abilities of Mr. Hinds. The name of this vessel is the Joseph Porter.

"Interesting"
Launched
On Tuesday last a fine ship, of 762 tons, new measurement, was launched from the building yard of Mr. Isaac Garcelon, head of Oak Bay, with her tower standing rigging, lower masts and top masts all standing. She was built, under Mr. Garcelon's contract, by Mr. David Eastman, for Messrs. Parkinson and Robert of this place by Whom she was named the Queen Victoria, the first compliment of the kind to her Majesty that has yet been observed in the provinces.
Also, on Wednesday last from the shipyard of John Wilson at Chamcook, a beautiful Ship built by the Messrs. Townshend for Messrs. Edward and Joseph Wilson of this town, named the "Wilson," her register according to the new mode of measurement being 565 tons. The "Wilson" was launched into the capacious Wet Dock which forms part of the extensive establishment of Chamcook and afforded an interesting spectacle to a numerous assemblage drawn together, to witness this sight amongst such picturesque scenery.

Launch
On Tuesday last a very handsome Brig of 232 Tons old measurement, copper fastened, was launched from the building yard at Indian Point, which received the name of "St. Andrews," on her entrance into the element destined for her future career. She has been built by Mr. Patterson for the spirited firm of William Babcock and Son of this town, and is without exception a fine specimen of naval architecture combining as we understand beauty of model, with strength of build and superior finish. The day being very fine a number of spectators assembled, who by many a cheer and the waving of handkerchiefs expressed their gratification at the sight. We heartily wish her enterprising owners the best success.

Launched
On Friday last at Saint Stephen, a Barque fully coppered and copper fastened, of the burthen of 357 tons, new measurement called the Ninian Lindsay, after the father of the enterprising owners, Messrs. R. and N. Lindsay. The workmanship materials and model of this fine vessel are of the first description. She well sustains the credit of that excellent mechanic, Mr. Owen Hynds, the master builder.

Launched at Walker's shipyard on Wednesday last a fine ship called the John Campbell, of 560 tons built for James Rait.
Launched on Thursday last, from the shipyard at Chamcook, a fine ship called the Coronet, 870 tons new measurement, copper fastened, built by Mr. R. Townshend, for John Wilson
Launched this day from the same yard a handsome ship called the Provincialist, 890 tons, new measurement, copper fastened, built by Messrs. J. and J. Townshend, for Messrs. E and J Wilson.

These two splendid ships are said to be the largest ever built in this County, and for beauty of model superior finish and strength of build, are not surpassed in the Province.

Ship Catherine
We would particularly recommend to the inspection of judges of symmetry in naval architecture the fine new ship Catherine, of 932 tons, now lying at Scott's wharf.
This vessel was built by Messrs. Brewer and Briggs at their shipyard in this parish, for Capt. Robert Long, of Liverpool. And we may safely challenge the Province to produce a more beautifully modeled or splendidly finished vessel than the Catherine. We cannot add more in her praise than to say that she is an improvement on the model of the Frankfield, built a short time since by those enterprising builders—and as to finish, she is equal to any of the first-rate New York ships. This vessel adds to the number of fine vessels built by Messrs. B and B which have brought higher prices in England, than other ships from this country.
We wish the Catherine and her enterprising owner every success.
We learn the parties have contracted to build an Oak ship for a house in Liverpool; the oak for which will be imported. This is something new to this province, and we trust the experiment will prove advantageous, and that New Brunswick will ere long be able to send to market Ships of Oak equal to any built in the United Kingdom.

Arrival of the Steamer Unicorn
Latest News
By the politeness of our mercantile friends we have received London papers to the 16th ult. Brought by the Steamer Unicorn. . . . The Unicorn arrived at Boston on Wednesday the 3rd inst., making the passage fro Halifax to Boston in 36 hours.

The Steamship Unicorn
This fine vessel which has hitherto been employed on the station between this port and Glasgow, is now lying in the Clarence half-time dock, taking in her stores for her voyage to Halifax. She is the first of a series of vessels about to run regularly with letters and government dispatches to and from our North American colonies, amongst which will be the new steamships Caledonia, Britannia, Acadia, (we believe) and probably the Achilles—all the property of the British North American Royal Mail Steam Packet Company. She is commanded by Capt. Douglass, a gentleman of experience, and has engines of three hundred horsepower. The accommodations of the Unicorn are of the Glasgow steam ships generally. Her saloon is spacious and furnished in the style of the days of Good Queen Bess in solid rosewood, with panels, or centre pieces, in each compartment, formed by richly gilded antique foliated frame work, within each of which is a Chinese view, on a bright green ground, in the finest japan. The furniture corresponds, and the smaller cabins and sleeping rooms are finished in corresponding style, and fitted with every possible convenience. The stock of provisions and liquors, consisting of livestock, fresh and preserved meat, choice, wines and other liquors, fruit, preserves, etc., exceeds what we should have conceived necessary for an East India voyage, so that those on board who are fond of the good things of this life, will have rare doings of it. We understand the Unicorn will take out a considerable of passengers. They will we learn embark at the Clarence pier head at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and the vessel will sail as soon after the London Mailbag is received on board.

The Unicorn is the first of Mr. Cunard's line of Steam packet which has arrived. She is to be employed in the conveyance of H. M. Mails between Boston and Quebec. The passengers by the Unicorn have tendered to her gallant Commander Captain Walter Douglass their warmest acknowledgements of his skill and attention to his duty, and presented him with a piece of plate.

I. trade. Another vessel has been recently purchased, by residents of St. Andrews, intended for the same employment; she will be shortly registered at this port. The locality of St. Andrews is certainly well calculated for pursuing the W. I. business with success—standing on a peninsula formed by the waters of the Saint Croix on the one side, and those nearly at the confluence of the Magaguadavic and Digdeguash on the other, with the United States within three short miles to the westward, and an inexhaustible fishery at our very doors—a capacious harbor, rarely closed by the frosts of the most inclement winter and lined by substantial wharves, alongside of which vessels may load, and tie as safely on the broad level beach, as if upon he stock from which they were launched into the bosom of their native element, with the facilities of a free and warehousing port, and with obliging civility and accommodation at the Customs and Treasure departments, there is every encouragement held out, to pursue a trade, from which the inhabitants of St. Andrews, cannot but acknowledge that they have within a recent period reaped both advantage and profit.

Gillis and Grimmer, and does much credit to Mr. Smith, being his first attempt at building, and, is pronounced by judges to be a substantial built, finely modeled vessel.
Launched at Chamcook, on the same day, from the ship years, a noble Barque which received the name of the "Britannia," on entering her native element; measure 530 tons, and it is said she is the best vessel ever built by the Messrs.

Mr. Editor—
[Editorial] We are informed that since the arrival of the late passenger vessels, our Poor House is nearly filled with poor emigrants, many of whom we are told, have had their passage paid by some charitable individual at home; and many of them on their landing here, had not as much money as would purchase a meal of victuals. What is to be done in such circumstance? We are told that the Parish is in debt to the full amount of the advances made of the support of the Emigrant last year. The Banks, we are told, will not make advances on the Government warrants. The Treasury Debentures will not be received in payment of duties—there, what are they worth:" How then are these poor people to be supported—they are chiefly women and children whose fathers and husbands have left them in search of employment, and this we fear, in the depressed state of thing, is a vain pursuit. Who, we would ask will, in the present state of business, make advances for an indefinite period? It has been said that the Commissioners are obliged to support them, and the poor emigrant is told this on his arrival, and in many cases they demand it as a right; and in a majority of cases the husband leaves his family under this impression: then we would ask, what are the Commissioners to do? We know of no law to compel a public officer to advance money for public purpose. Here are a multitude of people cast on our shores in a starving state, and no labor for them. We would gain ask, what is to be done? The poor stranger cannot be allowed to starve—humanity forbids it—our better feeling revolt at the idea of the poor innocent child calling for food, and not being supplied, it cannot be--they must be fed. We are told that under the late Board of Health law, they were empowered to draw, to the amount of two hundred pounds for each county in any one year, even in anticipation of their wants; but the Commissioners of the Poor House it appears, must first make the advances, render their account on oath—petition, and run the risk of having the amount refused, as was once partially the case, after laying out of it one year. Such a state of things appears to us inexplicable. Are the commissioners or overseers entrusted with the management of the poor less to be trusted with the expenditure of public money, than the gentlemen composing the Board of Health? It has been said that the emergency is not so great, as the preservation of the public health demand that immediate steps be taken to prevent the spread of infectious diseases; but we ask, how long will the healthy remain so, if not fed; and is not the present a sufficient emergency to call for some extra steps to be taken, where so many of our fellow creatures are cast upon us destitute of the means of support, deluded by the designing people at home, with the prospect of immediate employment on their arrival here. They land with empty pocket and empty stomachs, and must be fed. We again reiterate--what is to be done?

We regret to learn that in consequence of lumber being allowed to be carried from the United States to the West Indies on the same footing as from British American Colonies that a number of our vessels loading for the West Indies enter and clear on the American side—where we are informed it only cost about $12 port charges, by which means our vessels avoid paying light-money, hospital money and other charges, which makes a serious difference in their port charges, besides their purchasing their provisions and small stores much cheaper on that side than they could on this side of the water; and should the Export Duty law go into effect they will avoid paying the shilling duty. These acts are driving the trade from our shores—in fact we are informed that already there are two establishments moved from St. Stephen over to Calais, or they have agents doing their business for them.

The Frank leaves Eastport for Calais every morning, touching here, and returned same evening to Eastport, for the present.

The steamer Frank proceeded to Grand Manan on Friday last, with a large party from this place and Eastport. The day was exceedingly fine, and the sea smooth. The steamer remained at Grand Manan for some hours—and the parties had an opportunity of witnessing a review of the 3rd Battalion of Charlotte Militia, under command of Lieut. Col. Hon. H. Hatch; the troops went through a variety of field movements in a creditable style; after being dismissed the Col. with a large number of the visitors were entertained by Capt. Fisher, who had in the most hospitable manner, provided a sumptuous repast in his mansion. Many patriotic toasts were drunk, and the cheering made the welkin ring. Towards 3 o'clock the boat left the Island, on her return, and during the evening dancing commenced, which was kept up with great spirit until the steamer reached Eastport. The passengers landed here about 10 o'clock pm highly delighted with their trip to Grand Manan, which will long be remembered by them all. To those gentlemen who managed the whole affair great credit is due, as we learn everything passed off pleasantly, and without accident. The next trip we hope will be to visit Saint John, to be present at the "Regatta," which is to take place there on Tuesday the 11th inst., where no doubt there will be something with looking at. The Frederictonians intend visiting the city to see the sport, and we know of no means why the people from this County—together with their Eastport friends, could not do the same. Only try. Capt.

Lost by shipwreck, during a very heavy gale in the Bay of Blane Sablons, near Conquest, on the coast of France, on the 5th of March last, Capt. Jacob Paul, of this Town, in the 54th year of his age. Capt. Paul sailed from Boston in the brig "Ino" of Halifax, N.S., bound for London, and he together with the whole of his crew, were drowned and their bodies washed ashore near the place of shipwreck. Capt. Paul was a native of this County, and in early in life settled in St. Andrews, and was at the time of his death one of the oldest shipmasters belonging to this port. He was universally respected and esteemed by all who knew him as an honest man—"the noblest work of God." He has left a widow and four children, to lament the loss of a kind and affectionate husband, and an indulgent and loved parent.
It affords us a melancholy satisfaction to be able to state, that the bodies of Capt. Paul and his crew were found, and the rites of Christian burial performed over their remains, under the supervision of the consul of the United States at Brest.

That the unfavourable character attributed to the Bay of Fundy is untrue, would appear by the following facts. In the year 1847, it is proved by Custom House entries, that between Cape Sable and Eastport, 5000 registered vessels entered the Bay of Fundy. For the last ten years the loss by shipwreck have not averaged thirty sail, whereas nearly that number have been lost in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in one storm, although the amount of tonnage of the St. Lawrence is far less than that of the Bay of Fundy. The Bay of St. Andrews is of great beauty, capacious, and perfectly safe for shipping, and is free from ice at all seasons of the year. St. Andrews is the most westerly seaport in New Brunswick. It is 12 miles from Eastport; is 40 miles lower down the Bay of Fundy than St. John, and consequently so much nearer England and the United States.

It is generally admitted that a steamer of this description would pay. We trust our townsmen will not allow themselves to be outdone in the mater, but that they will either build or purchase a steamer for this purpose immediately, which might be profitably engaged, when not towing, in carrying passengers and freight to the out ports, and also Robbinston. Travellers to and from the US might then drive their carriages on board the steamer, and land either at Robbinston or St. Andrews. Besides, many persons would be induced to visit Charlotte County during the summer, when they know there are travelling facilities to convey them to the beautiful islands in the Bay, SG, Digdeguash, etc., and in addition, to enjoy a pleasant ride on the railway several miles through thriving settlements and forest scenery, and inhale the pure and healthy air for which this County is celebrated.

Mr. Anderson, in addition to his other in course of construction, has laid the keel for a large ship within a few days, and is shortly to commence a vessel of 1400 tons. Mr. O. B. Rideout has also commenced building a large vessel. The Messrs. Townshend are getting a ship frame down by rail which is to be set up and built in their yard at Chamcook, during the next few months. These vessels, with Mr. Whitlock's, Mr. A. Cookson's, and Peacock's and Berry's ships, give employment to a large number of men. It has been acknowledged by men of judgement and large experience, who have visited St. Andrews, that it possesses superior advantages for ship building. Mr. Rideout has been building ships for 25 years.

Dec 2, 1863
Launched
On Saturday last, by Mr. A. Anderson, from his year, a handsome brigantine, called the "Apus," of about 250 tons register. We have examined this vessel from time to time, during course of construction, and have no hesitation in pronouncing her one of the strongest and most carefully built vessels ever launched at this port. She is built of spruce, with a large proportion of hacmatac, is copper fastened and copper bolted, and thoroughly iron kneed.
In model and architecture, the "Apus," in the opinion of those qualified to judge, comes as near the conception of perfection as any vessel ever built here. Beauty and economy seem to be combined in the design of her build; for while she is evidently calculated to be swift Sailer, she will, at the same time, carry a large cargo. She was constructed under Lloyd's special survey, to class A1 four years, and was superintended personally by Capt. McFeeby, by whom she will be commanded. The "Apus" is owned by the Captain, Mr. Anderson, Glargan and Black and Hugh Shields of St. John.

We wish her enterprising owners success, and have to congratulate Mr. Anderson on the improvement which is evinced in each successive vessel, so far as regards the model. We think we may safely hazard the opinion that St. Andrews has produced in the "Apus" a vessel equal in every respect to any other ever launched in this province.

The "Apus" will load shooks at this port for Cardenas.

Same day, from the building yard at Indian Point, a beautifully modeled and thoroughly finished brig of 260 tons O.M., named the "Alexander Milliken." This vessel is constructed of the best materials, hacmatac and hardwood, is copper fastened and reflects much credit upon her builder, Mr. Alexander Cookson. We understand she is intended for general freighting business, and will be a swift sailer.

The Hesperus is, without any exception, pronounced by nautical men one of the best models and most thoroughly constructed vessels built at this port for several years, and reflects great credit upon her master builder, Mr. William Cookson, whose ability as a ship builder is appreciated. This vessel was built under Lloyd's Inspection. She is to be commanded by an energetic and able seaman, Capt. Richard Waycott. We congratulate her owner, William Whitlock, on his addition to the Shipbuilding of this port. Mr. W. has done much towards keeping up the former prestige of the place for first class vessels.

James Hayes, and is intended for a regular trader. Her builder, owners and commander are natives of this place, and we wish them success.
Launched at Bay Side on the 24th, inst., a beautifully modeled and thoroughly finished Barque of 436 tons N. M., which on gracefully entering her future element, was named the "Jennie Ellingwood." She is said to be a very superior vessel, as no pains were spared in her construction to make her a first-class ship, having been built under French Lloyd's inspection, to class 6 years. For foreman of the yard Mr. Robert Buntin has added another laurel to his fame as a shipbuilder, for the manner in which the work on the

barque has been executed. She will be commanded by Capt. Ellingwood, who with Messrs. Rideout, McAdam, Eaton and King. B. R. Stevenson and others are her owners.

English. This vessel is one of the best built, and most thoroughly finished ever launched at this port; and for beauty of model, symmetry and elegance of finish, is not surpassed by any vessel in the county, and adds another laurel to Mr. Anderson's reputation as a successful shipbuilder. We join with Capt. English's many friends, in wishing him a pleasant passage across the Atlantic—that it will be rapid one there cannot be a doubt.

Shipbuilding
It has never been questioned that St. Andrews as a shipbuilding port possesses more advantages, with a few exceptions, than any other place in the Province; and these exceptions could easily be removed, were the business carried on extensively, as it would necessitate the erection at establishments for the manufacture of iron knees and girders, and mercantile houses for the importation of anchors, chains, sailcloth, and other material required in fitting our ships. The opportunities for carrying on a successful ship-building as stated are not surpassed in the Province. There is ample accommodation for the yards at low rents, the Railway runs directly through these locations; the very largest and best ship timber to any amount can be obtained on the lands through which the Line passes, and be unloaded without any further expense; the planking can be sawed at the steam mills up the line, and thus a large amount of time and labour saved. The facilities presented for carrying on this important branch of business, we have heard old and experience shipbuilders assert, are not to be met with elsewhere in the Province. All that is required is men of capital, who understand the trade, and would carry it on extensively and economically; that abundant success would crown their efforts cannot be doubted. We have it on good authority, that the vessels built here during the last year and a half for Saint John firms, were superior to those constructed under their own supervision, at much lower rates, and a better quality of timber. We are happy to learn that Mr. Edgar, the draughtsman and modeler of Anderson's vessels, has commenced business on his own account in the shipyards, at the Station; he will shortly have another vessel on the Stocks, and we trust sufficient inducements will be held out to him to continue the business on a larger scale. Why not use up the splendid timber brought down the line? Would it not be better policy than to sell it to the St. Jon shipbuilders? By adopting this course, it would materially benefit the place, by enlarging its business—giving employment to large number of men, and otherwise increasing its prosperity. As before state, all that is required, is capital, energy, and a thorough knowledge of shipbuilding.

A 100 ton ship called the "Laura Clinch" launched at wharf near Railway Station. Ships still being constructed on a regular basis at present lighthouse and elsewhere—Bayside, SG, St. Stephen, Calais, Eastport. I believe this ship sinks about a dozen years later on a trip south.

Great Storm and Destruction of Property
Almost 6 o'clock on Monday evening last, rain commenced falling, quickly followed by a strong south-easterly gale which increased in volume until 7 o'clock, when it became a hurricane, ripping shingles from the roofs of the houses, and bricks from the chimneys, leveling fences, etc. The night was unusually dark, and the howling of the storm with occasional crashes of falling buildings made it appalling. The spray from the harbor was carried as far up as the barrack hill, and the fruit on the trees had a salt taste on the outside. The tide rose higher than was ever before known, and such a storm was never witnessed here, by our oldest inhabitants, one of whom, now upwards of 90 years old, recollects distinctly as far back at 75 years, and can read without the use of spectacles. We must hasten however to give a brief summary of the results of the storm.
