The duties now are light and unimportant; our difficulties with China are happily settled, and the practicability of the commercial treaty already tested; and although our new colony cannot be said to be yet organised, there is nothing necessary for that purpose which would require more than ordinary talents, with the usual establishment of assistants in the various de partments of the public service.
There are other colonial appointments vacant, which it would be satisfactory for the governed, as well as the Governor, to have filled immediately. We at present refer to the office of Judge in civil and eciminal cases. The dissatisfaction at the present order of things is not incalled for and The indignation of the citizens at having civil cases, frequently involving points of law, tried before a Military Magistrate, is universal and justifiable, | The state of affairs in this colony is so unlike any other British colony, or the colony of any free country, that we cannot help thinking Her Mujes ty's Government is still in ignorance of the value of the possession coded to the Crown, and the large number of Europeans who have settled there The unjust manger in which the colonists have “been used, in taking their grants of land, coupled with the tyrannical form of government under which they live, may well justify their complaint

We hear names and localities where samshoo is sold by disreputable Europeaus upon Sundays, the gains of one day's infamy being sufficient to keep them in idleness during the week. It is to be hoped. that these hidden dens, the haunts of infatuated sailors and soldiers, when respectable places are closed against them, will be rooted out, and the parties who keep them punished condignly. - We doubt not, were enquiries made, it would be found, that military officers are more troubled with drunkenness among the men of Sundays, than any other day of the week, and that on that day there. is greater danger of insubordination, than on any other. Men labouring under the influence of the deleterious spirits, which are sold at these places, may commit offences against military law, which entails disgrace upon them for life. We are well aware of the mary done to the constitution by in. dulging too frenly in uedont spirits, but we would rather see all the licensed houses open on Sundays, than a continuance of the present system.

There is no doubt of his guilt and the sentence recorded against him would only be a fitting pun- ishment for the crime he committed; neuher is there any doubt of his life being saved. The re- commendation of the jury will, probably, never be sent to England. The prerogative of merey is in The Governor's bands, and under the circumstances of the trial, will inevitably be exerersed in favor of the criminal.
