Wuennver the Government does, anything to, serve

dation, Itis, therefore, with pleasurg that we have to
state fo our friends and the public, thatshe Government
have at length succeeded in artanging with the Gon-
tractors;of the Charlottetown Ferry to ply the eteam-
boat, for: the remaining purt of the°season, from ths
hoaref seven o'clock in the morningâ antil sevet fn the
eveningâ 'Vovunderstand that she is to cross the ferry
every twehty minutes between 8, a.m, aud 4, p. ,,
ahd every fifteen minutes on market days, without any
detention for tweakfast or dianer-hour, as formerly,
This, no doubt, will afford great convenience to. th
trayelling publicââthis Ferry being one of the. pringipal
thoroughfares leading to and from the. city. Possibly
next year arrangements will be macle.to put an addi-
tional steamer ow the ferry; buty for the: present, the
arrangement thos effected is an important and much.
needed reform which will mect the approval of the âLe
gislatare and the conntry. "Phe ânecdmimodation will
cost at the rate of ÂŁ400 a-year, afid, if found toâ be
suffitient 16r the publicâ wants, anil Witiifactory in, its

ly conduct of the late Government, in refusing the
petition Of âthe, people to employ the Dredging Ma-
chine, wher here a fow, years ago, to deepen the water,
(which the proprietor offered to-do for ÂŁ300), with that
of the. present, the iiberal and enlightened policy of the
latter, in the matter.of Jocal improvements, is worthy
of the warmest prove. We expect toâ be anthorized,

time. and with a heavier sea than I ever recvellect see.

sor, struck on the south side of this Islandâwhere she
was dashed to pleees, ahd sad to say all on board per-
ished. About noon on Tuesday the remains of the
wreck were discoveredâsearch was immediately com-
menced along the shore; but the sea being so very high,
could not discover anything of any note; found a emall
cask of ââ of 16 to 20 gallons. On the following
day (sea having abated some) renewed the search,
found the body of one of the men buried up in a bank
with only one boot hee! visible, dug him ovt, and root-
ed up much of the beachâthiaking to find some more,
but did, not,
Yesterday another body, was found in the water
among the rocks. âThe first body found would be about
30 to 35 years of age,âof middle height, sandy hair
and red whiskers,âhad not used a razor for some time,
âthe back of both his wrists marked with Indian ink
forming a chain with clasped hands in the centre, he
had algo a crucifix printed on his left arm. The other
body found was that of a young man of about 20 years,
short and stoutly built Lam afraid that there was a
woman on board also for a portion of a woolen petti-
Tudwday night came, some seventy or eighty men at-
tended at the steamboat wharf, according to appoint-|
ment with the pseudo Bancroft, pretty well prepared for!
what followed. When Bancroft made his appearance on|
the wharf, he was speedily followed by a bailiff, with al
capias for a suit-of new clothes, which he bad ordered
was, that he could not take his passage in that trip of
the boat; and, to escape the ridicule and disgrace of
bis attempted rascality, fled across the Hillsboiough at
nine o'clock the same evening, and having obtained «
horse from a-livery stavie at Southport, pursued his
way with all speed to Georgetown, Ilere he was over-
taken by the owner of the horse, and capiassed for
horse-hirg, in pledge of which be was forced toâ rĂ©lin-
quish his over-coat. Ile has not since been seen or
heard trom; but we suppose ho made good his escape
to the mainland, thankful that his scheming had not
made him acquainted with the inside of one of our
jails, We hope the lesson will not be lost upon persons
who may be ambitious to imitate him in his rascality.
Tt is melancholy to thibk what degradation men will
stoop to in those days in their inordinate desire to make
money by all and every means, Soviety pays so much
employs to attgin-wealth are altogether overlooked,
This is the truth in the great majority of ent) aad
hence we are not surprised at the many schemes
ed to become rich. Compared with many âtuodern
rogues pious, religious, honorable rogdedâJack
Ketch, Dick Turpin, Claude Duval, and oth ex Knights
of the Road of a former time, were paragons of hon-
\esty.and principle, © The former class swindle in a
meek, sleek kind of way, and as long as they secure
their ** pile,â they may become saints In the church,
and society generally is ready to black their boots;
whereas the latter, in boldly taking the road and de-
manding your mouey or Your life, incarred all the risks
and responsibility of the act. It required tact and
courage on the part of the highwayman. to procure
money; but your sneaking thief need possess no other
quatifieation than an otter want of principle. Until so-
ciety and mankind generally come to despise the suc-
eessiul rogue, and pay less worship at the shrine of
Mammon, as well as come to estimate at its true value
the noble efforts of honest industry, and the savings of
honorable toil, we despair of seeing any diminution of
dishonestâ bankrupts and echemers, unless, mdecd,
avarice for a time among the Lacedemoniansânamely,
the creation of « copper coinage, too heavy, and bulky,
to be conveniently hoarded.
We are led into making those last observations by the
wholesale swindling of a skedaddler named W,. B,
Dawson, the proprieter of the City Tannery, who left
for parts onknown some few days ago. The extent of

DEATII OF L. 8. IVES, i. L. D.
With heartful sorrow we record the death of this great
man, Weknew him well and intimately, And we can
say with the New York Freeman's Journal, * that a good
man and a gallant gentleman, has departed full of years,
and full of real honors.â
âDr. L. Stilliman Ives is dead, and a great many
hearts will be touched at hearing of itâthough he had
more than completed his three score years andten. Dr,
Ives departed this life on Sunday, Oct. 18th, about one
o'clock in the afternoon, in the seventy-first year of his
age. lle was born Supt. 16th, 1797, and passed his
early years in the northern part of New York State.
whither his parents had emigrated from Connecticut,
His early years were spent on a farmâvaried by atten-
dance at a country academy, and serving one year in the
militia during the war of 1812-14. After the war ho
went to Hamilton College, intending to become a min-
ister of the Presbyterian persuasion, to. which sect he
belonged. But more careful study inclined him to-
wards the Protestant Episcopal Church, that in those
days gloried in one of the ablest men in the country ne
its Bishop in New York. Bishop Hobart had a rare
wer of fascinating men, and the yousg Mr. Ives, a-
vout the year 1820, became a Protestant Episcopalian,
anda few years after, a clergyman of that denomination,
That Bishop Hobart thought highly of bim may be
inferred from the fact that Mr. Ives married one of his
â|danghtetaâwho, afew years ago, died in that city, a
devout CatholiÂą. After filling various places, Dr. Ives,
in- 1831, was elected Protestant Episcopal Bishop of,
North Carolina. Ten years later the âOxford Tract *
excitement raged in the Protestant Episcopal Chureh,
A school of young men, earnest and eon t, were,
âoing to make the Protestant Episcopal Caurch a CU*
tholie Church, They were beeoming convinced that
the Catholic Church was the thingâand it was grander.
a great deal, as well as mach hander, if they could
make it Catholie, in place of quitting it and becoming
members of the Romati Catholic Church. It was in
those days we first knew Deo Ives. His eye was not
then dimmed, nor his natural force abated. He was
full of fire, and of resolve. Ile had enthusiastic words
of encouragement for the hot-blooded young men.
Some of them took to him. With them ke tried start-
ing a Protestant convent, All together they took to
reading up Cutholic books to see how to do rightly!
Several of them found out howâthat it was necessary to
join the Catholic Church,
* Dr, Tves had a large circle of deeply attached friends,
When the fact stared him in the face that his convietions
pointed him distinctly to the Catholic Church, it was a
terrific struggle. âDonât ruin yourself,â said one set!
* Won't disgrace and ruin us,â said another set! * Don't
rashly spoil the great Catholic movement, by individual
impatience,â saidathird set! It was, indeed, a distress-
ing trial, and required a mind as sincere and henest as
that of Dr. Ives, to carry him through it.
*TItis abott fifteen years since Dr.. Ives became a
Catholic. From. being one of the most popular and fa-
vorite Bishops of a Protestant gemimunity, he b ecame a
simple laymanâand ne kind of parade made about him,
at that. Ever since, be has been a model of edification
to the Catholics of his acquaintance. In humility and
sincerity of heart he has given himself, constantly, to
the promotion of good pink The last years of his life
wete devoted to starting, and prometing a Catholic Re-
formatory, for Catholic children abandoned by their
parents, Already seven hundred children are thus taken
care of. When the Girlsâ deparement is fully organized
a still larger number will be protected.âBosten Pilot.

bis attempted rascality, fled across the Hillsboiough at
nine o'clock the same evening, and having obtained «

quatifieation than an otter want of principle. Until so-
ciety and mankind generally come to despise the suc-

Mammon, as well as come to estimate at its true value
the noble efforts of honest industry, and the savings of

DEATII OF L. 8. IVES, i. L. D.
With heartful sorrow we record the death of this great
man, Weknew him well and intimately, And we can
say with the New York Freeman's Journal, * that a good
man and a gallant gentleman, has departed full of years,
and full of real honors.â
âDr. L. Stilliman Ives is dead, and a great many
hearts will be touched at hearing of itâthough he had
more than completed his three score years andten. Dr,
Ives departed this life on Sunday, Oct. 18th, about one
o'clock in the afternoon, in the seventy-first year of his
age. lle was born Supt. 16th, 1797, and passed his
early years in the northern part of New York State.
whither his parents had emigrated from Connecticut,
His early years were spent on a farmâvaried by atten-
dance at a country academy, and serving one year in the
militia during the war of 1812-14. After the war ho
went to Hamilton College, intending to become a min-
ister of the Presbyterian persuasion, to. which sect he
belonged. But more careful study inclined him to-
wards the Protestant Episcopal Church, that in those
days gloried in one of the ablest men in the country ne
its Bishop in New York. Bishop Hobart had a rare
wer of fascinating men, and the yousg Mr. Ives, a-
vout the year 1820, became a Protestant Episcopalian,
anda few years after, a clergyman of that denomination,
That Bishop Hobart thought highly of bim may be
inferred from the fact that Mr. Ives married one of his
â|danghtetaâwho, afew years ago, died in that city, a
devout CatholiÂą. After filling various places, Dr. Ives,
in- 1831, was elected Protestant Episcopal Bishop of,
North Carolina. Ten years later the âOxford Tract *
excitement raged in the Protestant Episcopal Chureh,

a great deal, as well as mach hander, if they could
make it Catholie, in place of quitting it and becoming
members of the Romati Catholic Church. It was in
those days we first knew Deo Ives. His eye was not
then dimmed, nor his natural force abated. He was
full of fire, and of resolve. Ile had enthusiastic words
of encouragement for the hot-blooded young men.
Some of them took to him. With them ke tried start-
ing a Protestant convent, All together they took to
reading up Cutholic books to see how to do rightly!
Several of them found out howâthat it was necessary to
join the Catholic Church,
* Dr, Tves had a large circle of deeply attached friends,
When the fact stared him in the face that his convietions
pointed him distinctly to the Catholic Church, it was a
terrific struggle. âDonât ruin yourself,â said one set!
* Won't disgrace and ruin us,â said another set! * Don't
rashly spoil the great Catholic movement, by individual
impatience,â saidathird set! It was, indeed, a distress-
ing trial, and required a mind as sincere and henest as
that of Dr. Ives, to carry him through it.
*TItis abott fifteen years since Dr.. Ives became a
Catholic. From. being one of the most popular and fa-
vorite Bishops of a Protestant gemimunity, he b ecame a
simple laymanâand ne kind of parade made about him,
at that. Ever since, be has been a model of edification
to the Catholics of his acquaintance. In humility and
sincerity of heart he has given himself, constantly, to
the promotion of good pink The last years of his life
wete devoted to starting, and prometing a Catholic Re-
formatory, for Catholic children abandoned by their
parents, Already seven hundred children are thus taken
care of. When the Girlsâ deparement is fully organized
a still larger number will be protected.âBosten Pilot.
