all human probability, to be replaced by any portion of
ithe British Army, the deserted Barracks present a fine
expending twelve or fifteen thousand pounds of the
public money in providing temporary accommodation
lfor the troops. What is to be done with these Barracks,
land to what ureful purpose ean they be applied? are:
questions that suggest themselves and demand a reply.
The Government have appointed a Barrack Master, at
a salary of £100 per annum, to take charge of them;
but the country will hardly be satisfied to allow that
arrangement to become a permanent one. Now, as it
is unlikely, becaueo unrequired, that any portion of the
Volunteers will be permanently placed in Barracks to
do duty in the place of the regulars, we have one or

honor also said that, if the loan was pegotinted abroad,
we would probably have to pay £1000 a year to an
agent; and commission besides, but I do not think the
facts of the ease will warrant such a statement. Be-
sides there is a possibility, as his honor from the First
District of Queen's County (Mr. Balderston) said, that
a large portion of it might be borrowed in the Island,
so that it might not be necessary to borrow abroail for
tome time to come, It will depend very much upon
the estates offered to the Goveroment, and the terms
npon which they are offvred ; though £150,000, if bor-
rowed now, conld be invested, to a great extent, in
the payment of the debt of the Colony, upon which we
are now paying interest. His honor from Bedeque,
(Mr. Anderson,) was much alarmed at this Bill. He
made up the interest upon the contemplated loan at
£9,000, bat he fofget that we are paying interest to
the amount of £8,000 now. He also figured up the
large amount of interest which the Colony would be
liable for when,the principal of the loan would become
due ; but if we were to figure up the interest upon the
debt of the Colony for twenty years in tho same way,
it would be an extraordinary amountin our estimation.
But we must not lose sight of the fact, that the Bill
provides for a sinking fund, by*paying £6 per hundred
every year, so that in twenty years the whole will be)
paid off, and not become due at one time, as his hon-
or's remarks would have us to suppose. I must sa
that T do not look upon this Bill with any alarm, but
believe, on the contrary, that, under proper manage-
ment, it will be conducive tu the prosperity ot the Col-
ony generally, freeholders as well as leaseholders,
ae it will rest with the present, or any other Gov-
ernment, to carry it out. © It divides the responsibility,
in some measure, between those who are paying t
taxes. of the country now and those who will come
after us, though the benefits will be more fully exper-
ienced by future generations than by tho present.

ARRIVAL OF THE + JAVA.”

[From the European Times, June 22.}

The serious riote at Birmingham, aris'ng out of at-
tacks made by a person named Marphy on the religion
of the Roman Catholics, has produced a painful impres-
sion ‘on the public mind, fouses are gutted, propert
destroyed, the Riot Act was read, und the unbridled
ferocity of religious fanaticism had full swing. One or
two streets are said to have been laidin ruins. Murphy
is the Agent of a body walling itself ** The Protestant
Electorial Union,” the chief patrons of which appear to

Whalley and Culonel Brockman, To show the
spirit in which Murphy carries out the commands of his
pay-maesters, it may be sufficient to mention that ina
} harlding: in Birmingham, he delivered what he
eali sermons, and thore he said, among other outrage-
ous thiigs, that.‘ Every Popish Priest was a murderer,
a cannibal, «liar and a Slakpesbets” The Daily News,
referring ‘@ this madman’s anties, says :-—* He goes
about in the name of Prot stantism bot his spirit is
that of the rankest P sai wont vey Protestantism asserts
the liberty of individual conviction ; Murphy attacks the

eople for their opinions: Protestantism’ enlightens
fo promoting discussion; Murphy does not discuss, he
cap only vituperate and provoke. ‘a here are thousands
of sincere Roman Catholics in Birminghaw who have as
good.a right to enjoy their religion in peace as the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury has to draw the revenues of his
web. ‘Thfallible as is the head of the Church, they must
submit to have their tencts discussed like those of the

the life of any venomous or malignent thing that crawls

the spread of the Roman Catholic religion, by engaging
the sympathy of the generous for its slandered propa-
tors and adherents.” The Home Secretary, the

Refuge and Industry, one section of which might be
appropriated to the accommodation of the deserving
poor of the Colony at large, and the other made into al
self-sustaining asylum for inebriates. As to the neces-
sity for a House of Refuge for indigent persons, there
ean be no question. Year after year the community is
called upon to support a class of itinerant paupers, who
crowd into the city from all parts of the country, and
although assistance is extended to them by the charit-
ably disposed, to the extent of their means, yet it oc-
casionally happens that, from the want of system in be-
stowing alms, persons haye died! from actual starvation,
The means at present expended by public and private
charities, would, if judiciously spent in an institution
such as the one proposed, be more than sufficient to
meet the calls of the really indigent in our midst.
Apart, therefore, from the consideration that the estab-
lishment of a House of Refuge and Industry is a duty
Whieh no civilized community can consistently ignore,
an institution of this kind, properly conducted, would
effect a positive saving to the country at large in abol-
ishing the Black Mail system at present in vogue.
With reference to an Asylum for Drunkards—who, of
late years, have been classified by medical men as
Dipsomaniacs—an institution of the kind has been in
operation in the State of New York for several years,
with the best possible results, ‘The institution has
been self-sustaining, and has been productive of so mach
good to the victims of intemperance, and to society gen-
erally, that, although capable ot holding several
hundred patients, yet the accommodations are tar too
limited for the number of applicatioas. The inmates
consist of almost every class in society-—the wealthy
and poor, male and female. Frequently the unfortan~
ate drunkard himself makes application for admission,
but, in the majority of cases, his friends are required
to secure him that privilege. Now. without referring
to this example at all, and without going beyond the

perience of every day poiats out the necessity and util-
ity of such institutions. Our own opinion is, that they
would exercise afar more potent influence in the way
of restraining men's appetites for stimulating drinks,
and reclaiming the unfortunate besotted drunkard, than
the combined action of Temperance Societies and Le-
gislative prohibitory enactments put together, Their
advantages would ba, in tho first place, to remove those
degraded pests to families and soviety from the way of
temptation; and secondly, by subjecting them to the
same restraints as lunatics, and compelling them to per-
form those kinds of labor to'which they are best adapt-
ed--to wean them from their debasing appetite. If
such an institution were m existence, how many fami-
lies, who have been brought to the very depths of
Anguish and powrty, through the extravagance of «
drunken husband, would have been saved the chegrace,
the heart-burnings and penury which always attend the
caréer of the dipsomaniac? The question requires no
answer from us; for there are few persons who cannot
refer to memory, if not to living illustrations, for a

the personal liberty of the luratic, but the drunken va-

thoroughly developed and trained, who is quite ad little
under tho influence of reason as the possessor of a
straight-jacket, is allowed to degrade himself, to abuse
and disgrace bis friends among society, and squander
all the means he can command with perfect impunity,
and itis only when murder, or some equilly atrocious
crime, is committed, that the law takes hold of him, Tt
is high time that such an anomaly should déase, and we

perceive by the Canadian papers that a grand Shooting
Match, to which competitors from all parts of Canada
and the Lower Provinces are to be invited, is to come
off about the middle of next August. This, we say,
will be another chance for Major Vollard, and other
erack shots, to distinguish themselves, for we have not
the least doubt that, with some practice, they would
prove themselves to be a match for the Cannucks,
as they were fer the New Brunswickers and
Nova Scotians.. An opportunity to test the proficiency
of the latter wi'l be presented on the 10th of Septem-
ber next, when the Cogswell Challenge Cup, open to
the Volunteers of the Lower Provinces, will -be fired
for. We hope to see that cup—(which has to be won
three times before it ean be carried off)—yet brought to
this Island. We.do not know what the nature or value
of the Canadian prizes will be. but no doubt they will
be such as to induce some of our Volunteers to accept
the invitation, As the best shots the Colony can pro-
duce will be required, we hope to seo Major Pollard re-
instated in his position among the Volunteers, so that
he may properly form. one of the competitors, It
should not be forgotten in the praises lately bestowed
upon the Volunteers, that the Major was the pioncer
orfounder.of the movement in this Island, and bis ro-
instatement; while t would greatly assist in maintaining
the credit of the Volunteers as marksmen, would be an
act of grace peculiarly acceptable to the Volunteers
and the community generally.

led to the hopeless insanity of the Empress Carlotta,

The Council ofthe English Retotm League pas is-
sued an address to the working men of Europe, de-
nouncing wars and the maintainaneo of large vc:
It is time that the people made themselves heard on
matters of this kind. Theambition ani passions of
monarchs and rulers, working upon the prejudices of
of the peopin, ratherthan the public weal, are too
often the cause of war, he world has now
grown old enough and ought to do, except on very
rare occasions, all its fighting with ‘the printing press
and newspapers. The tax and the drain npon the peo-
ple of Eu . eaused by the maintainance of powerful
armios, and by the recent wars, are really frightful ;
whilst the demoralization that resulta from supporting
in idleness large masses of men, ia beyond calculation.
We hope this circular of the Reform League is the
commencement of a movement that will not leave a
soldier in Europe.
