This l«vr coat a ’ halfpenny o: a penny n glam The excise' doty hero made the Ivor very expensive. Another drawback v.o the Sunday. The jwjde were very rehgjour, and would not neglect, going 'to church on Sunday; hot af*«r that they liked to have iv«n»»eiaentJ« which they did not tlnd i*n »},;* country. A man in America had eompUtiK'd that, after working all the

! In answ»-r to Mr Peacock, M. do Harrell t s.l ,i that bis idea was that groups of 50 I tamilioi should b<* settled in various places, i where they could retain their language. * The Government would not subsidise the | M-hrsfi.*, but he might U» backed by c«m* jm. rvi.i! men. The plan he had in view j was to pi:r t base blocks of land, and if the * isn't famsl-.o# made themselves comfortable, j in the r. ur>e of ten years the Belgian ; Colonist.- would nmnWr thou-ands- The | lh-’igs.ins 0..u1d Jidapt themselves t*» aoy- | thing, artisans cultivating gardens in their * sj«n- time. There was no question that 1 ere long the jeopie must g* out from | Belgium. i in r.iply to Mr Meares. M- de Harven ! sas-l meat was about the idine price in ! li-lgium as in England, and fresh butter J averaged 1# a lb ; mutton at the batcher’s | »a* fpim pd to 1c a lb. The consumption i was very large both th> n: and in Uor-
j many. M. de Harron then t*.vik leave, a# the . H'-n K. Ki-.’hiniv'i mu waiting to drive ! him t-i the residence of Vi : s Exeolloncy the I Governor.
