Tt is amusing to observe the effect of the above table
upon the political and religious hypocrites of New
Branswick, who, by mis-representation, excited the
noedlese alarms of the people of that Province, in order
tosell them. They are notat all pleased that the Qaeen
recognises ,in the table of precedence, the position and

dignity of Archbishops and Bishops ; and they threaten,
the Lord knows what, if the table is acted upon by! the
Dominion Government. The New Brunswickers have
allowed themselves to he made great fools of by knaves
like the Editors of the Telegraph, &o.; and it requires
tobe told them, that their voice or influence in framing
such matters as this table of precedence, or indeed
others of greater importance amounts to absolutely
nothing. Both the knaves and their dupes having

as a species of gambling. On further consideration, |
however, and especially when he remembered the fact
| that this Island was paying $2.00 per barrel for the pr'-

Mr. Hell, jocosely, ‘‘ that our fish don’t bite well now,—
they have got to be large, respectable fish; aad It is not
to be supposed that fish of that character will tite when
they have to pay $2.00 into the United States Treasury
for the privilege of being eaten! IT believe, however, that
they will begin to bite soon. These fish know exactly
where ‘he toree-mile line is"located; and there had
never been a season when they moved tnside of that
line until the present. When they heard what was
going on, they had. it would seem, resolved not to be
caught outside; for they are now being taken close in
and around our shores. He (Mr. H.) belleved they had
now commenced a movement that would, erc long, give
free trade to the people of P. E Island; and while he held
that he ought not have been called upon for a speech. he,
nevertheless, fully realized the gravity of the pos'tion
they now occupied, for he felt itin his pocket. He Ind
lived here for several years. and he hoped ere long to see
the fish of this Island again find lis nataral and most
profitable merket In the United States. |

The next Toast drank was—'" Our guests,” to which.
however, none of the quests responded.

«The Bar ofall Nations " followed, which was ably
spoken to by the Hon. John Longworth,

A. McNeill proposed, as a volunteer toast, ‘* The Press
of Great Britain and America,” and in doings > de'ivered
a pretty lengthy speech, certain portions of which did
not appear to be very well received. Tie tonst, however,
was drank as a matter of course, and acknowledged,
after several American gentlemen connected with the
Press had been called upon without producing any
response, by David Laird,

Gen. Butler then rose and totimated that the time was
drawing pear when it would be necessary for himself
and the gentlemen who accompanied him to lift their
the | anchor and take an unwilling departure for their homes.

He . therefore, to take leave of the gentlemen
present, and whilst doing so, assured them that the
delegation would immediate'y on their retarn report to
the proper quarter théir hich appreciation of the hoap!-
tality and kindness with which they had been honored
whilst here, concluding with the hope that the visit
would prove to be but the beginning of the end, a reci-
procity of trade which would be highly advantageous to
all the parities conce*ced in it.

The Hon. Mr. Beck, instrocted by a young member of
the delegation, just wished to say before parting— -

In heaven Iteelf we'd on no more, &c.”

The party then broke up.

Ow’'ng to our limited space, we give an outline of the
speeches of the Amorican guests only, believing that they
will be recelved with interest by ottr readers. In Justice.
however, to those gentlemen, we must say that thelr re-
marks should be heard and not read. Mr. Derby's
speech pariicularly pleased us, as being appropriate and
instructive; but all the members of the committee were
able and fluent speakers,—with a more finished style of

asin. copying the following remarks
wom the Patriot, we do not wish any farmer to be de-
ceived in reference to the raising of winter wheat; and
therefore, as an offeett to Mr. Beer's success, we may
mention that the Hon. W. H. Pope attempted to grow
winter wheat in a field not so well sheltered or located
as Mr. Beer's or Mr. Davies, and failed. The water
lodged on the field, and froze, The result was, that
ihe seed grain was all destroyed. Out of the threo,
therefore, who have attempted to grow winter wheat in
thie Colony, only two succeeded. Their success has
been guaranteed by the expenditure of considerable
capital and labor, and by” selecting fields peculis'ly
adapted with regard to sheléér and surface. Where
these conditions cannot be obtained, it would seem to
be folly to attempt growing winter wheat. With these
remarks, we give the Patriot's resalt of Mr. Beer's ex-
perience in this matter:—

‘Phe land—two acres—wna seeded down for bay
