AFTER au unusually long and severe winter, the Ice
{a our harbors fs at length beginning to break up, and in
the course of afew days, the course of navigation wil!
be free to be resumed. The Mall steamers are being
repainted, and otherwise prepared for their summer
duties. In addition to the Princess of Wales and Heather
Belle,we learn that the Prince Edward Island Steam Na-
vigation Company have purchased a new and powerful
Steamer for service in tle Gulf. This indicates financial
healthiness on the part of the Company, in whose pros-
pority the inhabitants of this Island feel a warin interest.
In the event of the rumored withdrawal from this route
ofthe Boston Boats, we would express the hope that
the Island Company will feel themselves warranted in
runuing a, boat between Charlottetown and Boston, aud
intermediate Ports. to supply the place of those which 1t
is said are about to be withdrawn. After experiencing
the benefits of direct steam’ communication between this
Colony and the United States for many years, a return to
the old system of a precarious packet communication
js neither a desirable nor a pleasant prospect
and our hope and belief is that the Colony
has made such advances in material prosperity and
commercial enterprise, as to justify the Island
Steam Navigation Company in placing a Boat on
that route, and preventing a relapse to a state of affairs
only suitable toa bye-goneage. The Princess of Wales
and the Heather Belle will make thelr first trips for the
season, next week—the Princess going to ‘Shediac, and
the Heather Belle to Pictou, on Monday.
Ir is anticipated that there will be a change of Min-
istry in England, on the Irigh Question, on the re-assem-
bling of the Impertal Parlidment after the Easter holidays.
The Conservatives, who are now in power, desire the
postponement of the question until next year, whilst the
Whigs or Liberals, and the majority of the people of the
Empire, urge the immediate abolishment of the Irish
Church Establishment, and the settlement of the Land
Question, We will revert to this matter at an early
day.

All Sorts of Paragraphs.
Tue Brrrer Frurrs or Rese.irtox.—There is too
much exultation in the following description of the fear-
fully changed condition of the aristocracy which slavery
created aud enriched, and which by ita own pride and
presamption, brought retribution npon its own head ;—
“Tos trip: through the Southern States at the present
time one can see nothing amid the wreck more salient
than the rapid decadence of the planting noblesse.
Their spreading mansions, circled by graceful veran-
dahs, and set in little Edens of fadeless ledges and trees,
have an airof decline, like a woman richly dressed but
out of the fashion. The houses need paint, and the
hedges trimming. The stepping stones, whereon so
many dainty feet have pattered between the carriage
and gate, have thestains of disuse upon them. ‘The
tt tar te
|
favorite creams are gone like the slave who rubbed their
glossy coats, The wolf of poverty flits between the
neglected shiubs and cowers behind the ambitious stuc-
coed colamns. It ia not hard to indentify one of the
former class of cotton darlings. Bitterness and sadness
dwell in theirfaces. Theyoung men once accustomed
to horses, guns, dogs, a slave for every whim, and spend-
ing money in unreckoned wante; the young women,
lovely as a tropical flower, as languid es alily ona
breathless lake, and fragile in beauty as either: his fen-
dal pride, his shoals of sleck slaves, bis resounding poli-
tics, his hospitable country palace and his prodigal
cheer—all are alike bewildered by the pitiless revolution
that has stricken them with decay, even as tho busband-
man deadens the forest that he may have fields instead
ofoumbering groves. We do not doubt that the once
ph 2 and powerful slave aristocracy is passing away.
Emancipation girdled that tree. The woodman doves
not wait to see the leaves wither on the onk around
which he has cut the fatal notch. Ile knows that the
work is done.”
A Painter's Toast.~—The following ingenious senti-
ment was given by Mr. Henry L. Williams, at the third
annual dinner of Zhe Typothete, February 20, 1866, at
the Maison Doree:—Tue Printer.—An Epitome of
many Trades and Professi ns.—Like the Lawyer, he
practices at the dar, and handles capital as well as lower
cases; like the Moralist, few have plainer rules to guide
him; like the Bravo, he sticks. daggers into many forms:
like the Astrologer, he reais the stars; like the Jailer,
he Is great on locking up: like the Witch, he has dealings
with the decil: Tike the Cheat, he is versed jn altthe arts
of imposition: like the Hunter, he knows all about the
chase: like the Perjurer, he has a strong lye always
poy though his profession is not as old as Adam's,
yct, like the Gardner, le must be able to handle a Hoe,
and, unlike the original gardener, he will never want
clothes with a Taylor in his office # like the Soldier, he
ean handle the shooting-stick, arrange co’umns, and set
up canon: like the Dandy, he is fond of a dish: like a
King, he has plenty. of pages: like the base-ball Player,
he catehes on the fly: like the Milliner, he.keeps a smail
stock of small caps, borders and flowers; like the Jewel-
ler, he can set p aril, ruby, agate, diamond: like the House-
keeper, he has a supply of surniture, beds, blankets and
shects: he never wants for music, with so many excellent
Harpers in his profession. Finally, like the Clergyman,
he sees his most perfect forms, after he has correcied all
errors, carried off, and their beautiful faces covered
with clay.
A New Rercprrc.—The Settlers at LaPrairio, Maui-
toba, Red River, about five hundred, have revolted
from the government of the Hadson Bay Company and
formed a Republic of their own. T. Spence has been
elected President of the Republic, and a cespatch has
been addressed to the Secretary ot State for Colonial
affairs in England, praying that favorable ‘recognition
be given to their Government, it being simply their aim
to develope their resources, improve the condition of
the people, and advance and preserve British interests
in that rising part of the far West. Inthe despatch,
the boundaries of the new Republic are defined as fol-
lows :—North—From a point running due north, from
the ic pat line of Assiniboine, till he strikes Lake
Manitoba; thence from the point stuck a etraight line
acrots the said Lake to Manitoba Port; thence by longi-
‘tudinal line 51, till rt intersects line of latitude 1
West—By line of latitude 100, to the boundary line of
the United States and British America. East—The
boundary line of the jurisdiction of the Council of Ags-
siniboine. South—The boundary line between British
North America and the United States, This is the first
open defiance of the authority of the Hadson Bay Com-
pany.
Tax Duke or Evixsurean in Avstraria.—The
Duke of I iobaree stayed three weeks in South Aus-
tralia, and 200; eople there nent holiday during
that period, to celebrate his visit. Twenty-five steam
ers, containing 10,000 persons escorted his ship Galatea
up thé bay to Melbourne, in Victoria. 150, persons
thronged the streets of that City to welcome him. The
address of the city to him was presented in the presence
of 30,000 epectators; 11,000 children sang the English
National Anthem to him; a free public banquet was
ven to 30.000 persous in the open air, in honor of the
Reoyal visit; hundreds of addresses Were presented to
the son of the Queen of Engind, expressing loyalty
and affection. Towns and villages were filled with
Germans and Chinese vied with people of English dea-
cent, in expressions of loyalty and attachment towards
the Prince and his mother. Balls, fireworks, and illu.
minations celebrated the royal visit, and joy fires
blazed on every hill for filty miles around. Gala-
tea was to be escorted up I tpt Bay M4 nearly fifty
steamers, containing 20, ersons, ¢ Prince laid
the foundation stone of a public building with a trowel
formed of solid gold, ornamented with precious stones,

When stumping some of the conntics of Ontario, Mr.
McDougall stated that the Government were then in
correspondence with the Governments of Newfoundland,
Prince Edward Island. and British Columbia, and that
even within a few weeks, one, if not more, of these Co-
lonies would join the Confederacy. Mr. McKenzie
moved for copies of the correspondence, and Mr. Mec-
Dougall had to admit that there was no correspondence ;
but, he said, it was well known that the Governor of
Newfoundland was in Ottawa, at the opening of Parlia-
ment, to confer with the Government about the admis-
sion of that Colony. It so happens, however, that he
did not come to Ottawa until after Mr. McDougall had
made the statement, which had its foundation in fancy
and not in fact.—Ottawa Correspondent St John Free-
man.
Mr. Geo. Peanopy av Romr.—A letter from Rome
in the London News says that Mr. George Peabody and
Hon, Robert C. Winthrop were recently presented to
the Pope. His Holiness was fully aware of the charac-
ter of his visitors, whom he requested to be seated in
his presence, an unusual mark of distinction. A deli-
cate token of Pio Nono’s appreciation of Mr, Peabody's
universal benevolence was affurded Kf the Latin quo-
tations from Holy Writ, showing the blessed quality of
charity, which he wrote with his own hand under some
photographic likenesses of himself, which he presented
to the party as souvenirs of the visit.
We find the following paragraph in the Qiebeo Gaz-
ette of March 20th, in reference to the Dominion * stand-

ject in contemplation to establish a standing military

ment, 2 battalions, English, 600; Nova Scotia, 1 regi-
ment, 2 battalions, 600; New Brunswick, I battalion,
400.—Total 4,600,
Tn reference to the blowing ie of the Parliament
building, we find the following in a despatch to the
Montreal Gazette: —‘ The opinion gains ground that
the murder was the result of a deep laid conspiracy in
which a large namber of persons are implicated, and
fears are entertained for the safety of the Parliamentary
Buildings. Some persons holding that the larg> quan-
tity of nitro-glycerine which was recently obtained in
New York on a forged order was destined for use in
this city, as part of the plot which hia resulted in the
death of Mr. McGee.
Rospery aAxp Murper on Toe Granp Trunk
Ratwway.—On Tuesday we published a short account
of arobhery and murderous assault committed on the
person ot a respectable and inoffensive man, a drover
named Sykes, on the Grand Trank Railway, near Pres-
cott. The unfortunate man has since died from the
effects of the injuries he received by being thrown from
the car; but he survived long enough to give the par-
ticulars of the diabolical outrage, aud the name of une
of the parties—the man who demanded his money.
The Montreal Daily News says that private and re-
liable information has been received of a Fenian move-
ment in the neighbourhood of Malone. Numbers of
men, supposed to belong to the organization, and all of
whom possees arms of some kind, have been gathering
at that point forsome days It is there a matter of
common belief that their presence is the result ofa plan

An extraordinary tragedy hag lately been enacted at

servants, who had been discharked on account, of his
visits. Ile was armed with a pistol ané an axe, killed
one of the servants on the spot, and inflicted such dan-
not expected to recover.
The Lynchburg Virginian dislikes the Peabody edu-
cational scheme, and says:—* Better let our children
go uneducated, and live in the woods, communing there
with nature and with nature’s God, thin to accept of
instruction in Schools where New England politities,
philosophy and religion are to substitute in any men-
sure the traditions of our good old State.

, ment, sto bo advanced in sums not exceeding four

AFTER au unusually long and severe winter, the Ice
{a our harbors fs at length beginning to break up, and in
the course of afew days, the course of navigation wil!
be free to be resumed. The Mall steamers are being
repainted, and otherwise prepared for their summer
duties. In addition to the Princess of Wales and Heather
Belle,we learn that the Prince Edward Island Steam Na-
vigation Company have purchased a new and powerful
Steamer for service in tle Gulf. This indicates financial
healthiness on the part of the Company, in whose pros-
pority the inhabitants of this Island feel a warin interest.
In the event of the rumored withdrawal from this route
ofthe Boston Boats, we would express the hope that
the Island Company will feel themselves warranted in
runuing a, boat between Charlottetown and Boston, aud
intermediate Ports. to supply the place of those which 1t
is said are about to be withdrawn. After experiencing
the benefits of direct steam’ communication between this
Colony and the United States for many years, a return to
the old system of a precarious packet communication
js neither a desirable nor a pleasant prospect
and our hope and belief is that the Colony
has made such advances in material prosperity and
commercial enterprise, as to justify the Island
Steam Navigation Company in placing a Boat on
that route, and preventing a relapse to a state of affairs
only suitable toa bye-goneage. The Princess of Wales
and the Heather Belle will make thelr first trips for the
season, next week—the Princess going to ‘Shediac, and
the Heather Belle to Pictou, on Monday.
Ir is anticipated that there will be a change of Min-
istry in England, on the Irigh Question, on the re-assem-
bling of the Impertal Parlidment after the Easter holidays.
The Conservatives, who are now in power, desire the
postponement of the question until next year, whilst the
Whigs or Liberals, and the majority of the people of the
Empire, urge the immediate abolishment of the Irish
Church Establishment, and the settlement of the Land
Question, We will revert to this matter at an early
day.

All Sorts of Paragraphs.
Tue Brrrer Frurrs or Rese.irtox.—There is too
much exultation in the following description of the fear-
fully changed condition of the aristocracy which slavery
created aud enriched, and which by ita own pride and
presamption, brought retribution npon its own head ;—
“Tos trip: through the Southern States at the present
time one can see nothing amid the wreck more salient
than the rapid decadence of the planting noblesse.
Their spreading mansions, circled by graceful veran-
dahs, and set in little Edens of fadeless ledges and trees,
have an airof decline, like a woman richly dressed but
out of the fashion. The houses need paint, and the
hedges trimming. The stepping stones, whereon so
many dainty feet have pattered between the carriage
and gate, have thestains of disuse upon them. ‘The
tt tar te
|
favorite creams are gone like the slave who rubbed their
glossy coats, The wolf of poverty flits between the
neglected shiubs and cowers behind the ambitious stuc-
coed colamns. It ia not hard to indentify one of the
former class of cotton darlings. Bitterness and sadness
dwell in theirfaces. Theyoung men once accustomed
to horses, guns, dogs, a slave for every whim, and spend-
ing money in unreckoned wante; the young women,
lovely as a tropical flower, as languid es alily ona
breathless lake, and fragile in beauty as either: his fen-
dal pride, his shoals of sleck slaves, bis resounding poli-
tics, his hospitable country palace and his prodigal
cheer—all are alike bewildered by the pitiless revolution
that has stricken them with decay, even as tho busband-
man deadens the forest that he may have fields instead
ofoumbering groves. We do not doubt that the once
ph 2 and powerful slave aristocracy is passing away.
Emancipation girdled that tree. The woodman doves
not wait to see the leaves wither on the onk around
which he has cut the fatal notch. Ile knows that the
work is done.”
A Painter's Toast.~—The following ingenious senti-
ment was given by Mr. Henry L. Williams, at the third
annual dinner of Zhe Typothete, February 20, 1866, at
the Maison Doree:—Tue Printer.—An Epitome of
many Trades and Professi ns.—Like the Lawyer, he
practices at the dar, and handles capital as well as lower
cases; like the Moralist, few have plainer rules to guide
him; like the Bravo, he sticks. daggers into many forms:
like the Astrologer, he reais the stars; like the Jailer,
he Is great on locking up: like the Witch, he has dealings
with the decil: Tike the Cheat, he is versed jn altthe arts
of imposition: like the Hunter, he knows all about the
chase: like the Perjurer, he has a strong lye always
poy though his profession is not as old as Adam's,
yct, like the Gardner, le must be able to handle a Hoe,
and, unlike the original gardener, he will never want
clothes with a Taylor in his office # like the Soldier, he
ean handle the shooting-stick, arrange co’umns, and set
up canon: like the Dandy, he is fond of a dish: like a
King, he has plenty. of pages: like the base-ball Player,
he catehes on the fly: like the Milliner, he.keeps a smail
stock of small caps, borders and flowers; like the Jewel-
ler, he can set p aril, ruby, agate, diamond: like the House-
keeper, he has a supply of surniture, beds, blankets and
shects: he never wants for music, with so many excellent
Harpers in his profession. Finally, like the Clergyman,
he sees his most perfect forms, after he has correcied all
errors, carried off, and their beautiful faces covered
with clay.
A New Rercprrc.—The Settlers at LaPrairio, Maui-
toba, Red River, about five hundred, have revolted
from the government of the Hadson Bay Company and
formed a Republic of their own. T. Spence has been
elected President of the Republic, and a cespatch has
been addressed to the Secretary ot State for Colonial
affairs in England, praying that favorable ‘recognition
be given to their Government, it being simply their aim
to develope their resources, improve the condition of
the people, and advance and preserve British interests
in that rising part of the far West. Inthe despatch,
the boundaries of the new Republic are defined as fol-
lows :—North—From a point running due north, from
the ic pat line of Assiniboine, till he strikes Lake
Manitoba; thence from the point stuck a etraight line
acrots the said Lake to Manitoba Port; thence by longi-
‘tudinal line 51, till rt intersects line of latitude 1
West—By line of latitude 100, to the boundary line of
the United States and British America. East—The
boundary line of the jurisdiction of the Council of Ags-
siniboine. South—The boundary line between British
North America and the United States, This is the first
open defiance of the authority of the Hadson Bay Com-
pany.
Tax Duke or Evixsurean in Avstraria.—The
Duke of I iobaree stayed three weeks in South Aus-
tralia, and 200; eople there nent holiday during
that period, to celebrate his visit. Twenty-five steam
ers, containing 10,000 persons escorted his ship Galatea
up thé bay to Melbourne, in Victoria. 150, persons
thronged the streets of that City to welcome him. The
address of the city to him was presented in the presence
of 30,000 epectators; 11,000 children sang the English
National Anthem to him; a free public banquet was
ven to 30.000 persous in the open air, in honor of the
Reoyal visit; hundreds of addresses Were presented to
the son of the Queen of Engind, expressing loyalty
and affection. Towns and villages were filled with
Germans and Chinese vied with people of English dea-
cent, in expressions of loyalty and attachment towards
the Prince and his mother. Balls, fireworks, and illu.
minations celebrated the royal visit, and joy fires
blazed on every hill for filty miles around. Gala-
tea was to be escorted up I tpt Bay M4 nearly fifty
steamers, containing 20, ersons, ¢ Prince laid
the foundation stone of a public building with a trowel
formed of solid gold, ornamented with precious stones,

A brute has been executed in Virginia for having

dence had prevented him from perpytyating the fourth,

his enemivs, and hoped that neither his family nor his
countrymen would suffer from the disgrace he had in-
flicted'on them, He seems to have made as pious and

usually do, These exhibitions which are becoming 80
frequent, are simply disgusting. ‘The whole system of
public executions onght.to he reformed. » From the time

lutely unseen and unknown to the outside world,
When stumping some of the conntics of Ontario, Mr.
McDougall stated that the Government were then in
correspondence with the Governments of Newfoundland,
Prince Edward Island. and British Columbia, and that
even within a few weeks, one, if not more, of these Co-
lonies would join the Confederacy. Mr. McKenzie
moved for copies of the correspondence, and Mr. Mec-
Dougall had to admit that there was no correspondence ;
but, he said, it was well known that the Governor of
Newfoundland was in Ottawa, at the opening of Parlia-
ment, to confer with the Government about the admis-
sion of that Colony. It so happens, however, that he
did not come to Ottawa until after Mr. McDougall had
made the statement, which had its foundation in fancy
and not in fact.—Ottawa Correspondent St John Free-
man.
Mr. Geo. Peanopy av Romr.—A letter from Rome
in the London News says that Mr. George Peabody and
Hon, Robert C. Winthrop were recently presented to
the Pope. His Holiness was fully aware of the charac-
ter of his visitors, whom he requested to be seated in
his presence, an unusual mark of distinction. A deli-
cate token of Pio Nono’s appreciation of Mr, Peabody's
universal benevolence was affurded Kf the Latin quo-
tations from Holy Writ, showing the blessed quality of
charity, which he wrote with his own hand under some
photographic likenesses of himself, which he presented
to the party as souvenirs of the visit.
We find the following paragraph in the Qiebeo Gaz-
ette of March 20th, in reference to the Dominion * stand-
ing army ‘that is to be:—* There is stated to be a pro-
ject in contemplation to establish a standing military
torce throughout the Domini mm, according to na feck
lation in each Province, as follows ;—Ontario, 2 regi-

ment, 2 battalions, English, 600; Nova Scotia, 1 regi-
ment, 2 battalions, 600; New Brunswick, I battalion,
400.—Total 4,600,
Tn reference to the blowing ie of the Parliament
building, we find the following in a despatch to the
Montreal Gazette: —‘ The opinion gains ground that
the murder was the result of a deep laid conspiracy in
which a large namber of persons are implicated, and
fears are entertained for the safety of the Parliamentary
Buildings. Some persons holding that the larg> quan-
tity of nitro-glycerine which was recently obtained in
