SBIRTH OF THE FOURTH ESTATE.

People are apt to for

s

et how the free,

unfettered Uress sprang into existence,
and it is well occasionally to recall the}

circumstances, Owing to a quarrel be-
tween the House of Commons and the
House of Lords, about the admission of
the public, «a standing order has been
made refusing to the people the right of
entrance during debate. ‘This was con-
jnived at during the year 1770, with this
result than the more interesting debates
were published with more details and
preater correctness than previously. Dap-
per little Colonel Onslow, did not like
the caricaturing indulged in by those who
did” the * parliamieutary” of that time.
He accordingly declared, in sportsman’s

phrase, that he would * bring down” the
print and have them reprimanded, on

their bended knees, in the presence of
the Speaker; and singling out two news-
papers which ealled him ** Little Cocking
George.” he resolved to have them up be-
forg the Louse. The great Edward
Burke, supported by Charles Turner, op-
posed the fiery hittie Colonel, but found
“themselves in a minority. So the day
was fixed, but when it came the contu-
macious printers came not with it, ‘They
respected no more a second order which
followed their non-appearance, Even Mr.
Sergeant-at-arms, when ordered to seize
Ahe absentees, tound ouly jecring printers’

devils. Llistury saith uot if th young
rascals jeered at bis sword belt buckled

under hir arm pits for lack ot clisding
room over the rounding abdomen—that is |
—history is silent as to whether the Ser-}
geant-al-Arms was like our Nova Scotian
occupant of the post. But it don'tinatter.
From some cause or other the ** devils”
only jeered him, ‘Lhe House then ad-
dressed the Crown to interpose the scep-
tered authority.

The little fire-eater of a Colonel, noth-
ing daunted, yolunteered to bring * three

moré brace” of carricaturihg Editors and
pressed his motion. Burke resotyed to

divide the Ilouse on every paper that
came before them. Che minority were
determined to weary the House that the
printers might get off, —Eyery pretence
was made, the most ludicrous questions
were asked, all to spin out the time,
yen the name of the printers familiar
was made a pretext for a discussion.
Burke's fertile genius actually laboured to
devise fresh causes for delay.

The Speaker grew tired. The majority
fumed and blustered. But all in vain.
‘Iwo o'clock came, but with it no relent-
ings, no natural longings for a quict sleep,
Four o'clock with its glimmerings of the
openiug day, and the great victory was
won. ‘The printers were to be let alone.
The House had divided three-and: twenty
times, and within the last division the
Fourth Estate was born, Burke predicting
over the new-born babe that *t posterity
would bless the pertinacity of that day.”—
dx. Reporter.

The irst Bale of Cotton,

The first bale of cotton shipped from
Texus this year was by a colored man,
+ Abe Gilmore.” Galveston papers exult
in his enterprise, and the merchants gave
him a silver pitcher and a sily up for
his success, Tho ‘* Free Man’s Press” ot
Austin, Texus, edited, composited and
printed by colored men, is properly jubi-
jJant. It says:

“It has been the talk of the enemies of
the colored people that, now they are tree,
they will die of idleness; but uncle Abe's
+ first bale” not only proves to the con-
trary, but also proves that there is enter-
prise in the colored people, which only
needs treedom and a generous liberal gov-
ernment to develop; and which will soon
compel their white neighbors to put forth,
not only the best efforts of their muscles,
but thir brains, iu order to claim any ad-
vantage.”

It also adds this good advice, good for
everybody without distinction of color,and
especially adapted to lazy, whisky-drink-
ing white trash of the South, who employ
their time in shooting their industrious
brothers. instead of surpassing them in
honorable work. The new **Abe” may
yet be as popular as the old,

So many contradictory statements have ap-
peared regarding the position of the question
of trade with the Provinces of British North
America. and the settlement of the fisheries
dispute and the free navigation of the river
St. Lawreace, that it was considered proper
to obtain correct information on the subject.
‘The matter stands thus.

Mr. Thornton, the British Minister here,
addressed a note to Mr, Seward in July last,
calling his attention tc the distr condit-
ion of the people of Nova Scotia in’ conse-
quence of their exclusion from our marke

Regiprocity treaty, and asking him to enter |

into neyotiations. Mr. Seward referred
Mr, Thornton's communication to Mr. Mc-
| Culloch, the Secretary of the ‘Tre y. Mr.

McColloch replied that the treaty ing been |
abrogated by the Legislative branch of the}
Government, he considered it would not be}
advisable to resum negotations till Congress
should give some intimation of its desire that
they should be re-opened. and at the same)
| time expressing his (McCullochs,) oponion |
| that it was for the intrest of the United Strtes |
|that the question of trade with the British |
| Provinces should be adjustod in some de-|
| finate manner.
| This correspondence was sent by Mr. Se-
}ward to the Committee of ways and means
Just before the July adjournment, in reply
| to an enquiry by members of the Committee
lof Ways and Means. Mr, Seward informed
| them that he was re 9 open negotiations
for a new Reciprocity 4 ity, wheneaver the
Committee should refer the subject to him,

Messrs. looper, Allison. Logan, May,
nard, Brooks and Nilback, of the committee,
agreed to make sucha report, and Gen-
| Schenck was willing itshould be made, Mr,
Grisgald was absent.

The adjournment, howeaer, took place so
early that there was no opportunity of put-
ting the report before the House, and hence
the matter goes over till the reassembling of
Congress, with the knowledge that the Com-
mittee of Ways aad Means are nearly un-
animous upon the subject, and that Mr,
Seward will open negotations as soon as the

In the Senate the question has also been
referred to the Committee on Foreign Wo-

The Parliamentary canvass throughout

ons injures his chances ofsuccéss in Sheffield.

Rumors of a large redaction in the French
army give confidence in the maintenance of
peace, and expectations of a declaration in
favor of Liberal reforms by the Emperor ani-
mate Paris, and have a cheerful influence np-
on public affairs in England,

The succession to the Spanish Throne re-
mains undetermined. The choice of Prince
Alfred of England, which has beensuggested,
is regarded as absurd and impossible, because
he is a Protestant. The name of Ferdinand,
King of Portugal, is mentioned with favor,
Though ultramontane in religian, he is re-
garded as politically a Liberal, is popular in
Spain, and would be unobjectionable to the

afford an opportunity for the free and
open discussion of opinion on these and
other subjects which are now involved in
this matter, a public meeting is advertised
to be held in the Drill Shed this evening,
when it is probable a candidate will be
brought forward to oppose Mr. Pope, and
if so, the contest is likely to prove as keen
a one as ever took place in Lot 17,

The Ton. Mr. Pope carried on a
pretty extensive business in this town for
several years, and being well acquainted
in the community, has among the elec-
tors many friends, who entertain for him
a very friendly feeling, and will for that
reason give him their support; yet whilst
this is so, on the other hand there are
many of the electors who clearly perceive
that Mr. Pope lays down, in his card, a
principle which, when brought to the no-
tice,and pressed upon the attention of the
Legislature, cannot fail to prove but the

| commencement of a contest which, if per-

sisted in, is sure to agitate this Island
from its centre to its circumference, as it
never has been before agitated, and in all
probability produce a discord which, it is
argued, should not be provoked; and,
therefore, to avoid and counteract these
results, many electors will oppose Mr.
Pope, who would otherwise give him
their cordial support. At least such is
the inference we are led to draw from
what we hear from those more immediate-
ly interested. ‘The results and determi-
nations of the electors, in so far as they
may be expressed at the meeting, we
shall endeavor to lay befure our readers

PALACE RL Te, CA

Ivis our melancholy duty, to record the
death of Mr. Asurr Brack, Merchant,
of this place, son of Joseph Black, Esq.,
of Bedeque—who died this morning at
9 o'clock, after an illness of about six
weeks. Mr, Black was for about fifteen
years in the employ of the Hon, James
CG. Pope, and last Mall commenced busi-
ness on his own account. ‘The grief ex-
hibited by Mr. Pope and others who
stood around him until the vital spark
had flown, bore evidence of the love and
esteem they cherished for him. He
dicd trusting in Christ. The Wesleyan
Church, of which he was an active and
most useful member, is in his death de-
prived of a truly worthy man, and society
of one of its justly esteemed and honored
members. Itis said he died without Icay-
Ing an enemy. Well might all who
knew him adopt the words of one of old—
“* Let me die the death of the righteous.”
He diced in the prime of life—in his 37th
year—leaving an aged father, brothers and
sisters and awife sud three children, to
mourn the loss of a kind husband, loving
parent and dutiful son, We deeply sym-
pathise with his family.

We understand that it is the intention
of his Masonic Brethren to pay their last

FROM SUMMERSIDE TO MOUNT
STEWARL,
A few days ago w? took passage on
board the Steamer Princess uf Wales, to
Charlottetown, and trom Capt. Lund, Mr,
Burke, and the other officers, received those
attentions which have made the Princess a
favorite b with the traveling public.
‘The city presents evidence of improvements
since the spring, in the erection of some
fine private and other buildings. The new
Bank looks well, and is one of the best
proportioned buildings in Charlottetown,
while the College which is being erected
by Bishop Melntyre promises to be by far
the handsomest building, Queep's Square
looks better than it did last year, ‘The
City Fathers last season had notices pasted
up on the gates of the Square, threatening

the pains and penalties of the law upon all
tresps s; this year they have placed
seats around the walks, upon which are

painted the words ** Please walk upon the
paths only,”—an invitation which seems
to have been comphed with by all classes,
while last year it did seem as if every per-
son took pleasure in walking where they
were forbid. So much, then, for the
power and results of civility. ‘Lhe ground
around the market house is enclosed, and
nicely gravelled—looks nice when the hor-
ses, With lots of straw and hay feeding,are
removed, and the litter cleaved away.
‘he sidewalks of the cily are as they were
—one of the anomolous leatures of the
vital of this Colony. Seven ships had
just arrived from Europe—three for Peake
Brothezs, & Co , two for tlon. J. C, Pope,
and two for lon, Mr. Dunean—and as six
of these came into the harbor on the same
day, with large supplies of goods on board
for the merchants, it had the effect of add-
ing much to the business activity of the
town; while the County Fair and Exhibi-
tion added much also to the apparent ac-
tivity of all classes. ‘Those who wish to
get a good view of the Iillsborough had
better step on board the + Ora” and cross
over to Southport, from whence a fine view
ean be obtained. ‘The proprietor of the
“Ora” the traveller will find prompt, cour-
teous and obliging, dving all in his power
to render his patrons comfortable,

Stepping on board the /leather Belle, we
went up to Mount Stewart. This place is
known by name all over the Isiand, yet
there is at ‘Mount? Stewart neither a
mount norahigh hill to be seen, The
Nast River is doubtless one of the best that
indents this Island, and in many of its fea-
tures presents much similarity to some of
the arms of the sea inthe Bay of Fandy,
the rising of the tide and fine marshes being
to some extent alike; and there can be lit-
tle doubt but if the marshes were diked
and well drained, with sluices to let the
water off, they would be found much more

uable than they at precent are, ‘This
river, We believe skirts one of the oldest
settlements in the country,and the tacili
for farming along the river and its vicinity
to Charlottetown, renders it one of the
most desirable places for prosecuting ag-
riculture in Prince ERdward Island; yet
from the river the farins generally do not
present so improved and thiilty an appear:
ance as they do in New Glasgow, New
London, Bedegue, and other settlements
which we have passed through. ‘Lhe
mirshes extend on both sides of tae river
tor seven miles below and three above the
bridge. Several stores, mechanics shops,
five shipyards, one public school, a Roman
Catholic Chapel,and a Presbyterian Chureh
and Manse are at or in the immediate vi-
cinity of Mount Stewart Bridge. The
Heather Belle comes to a whart built for her
» short distance below the Bridge, and
when the tide is out has barely water
enough to come up, while the breadth of
the river merely admits ot her turning.
At two points between the Bridge and
Charlottetown she calls and reecives on
board freight and passengers. We were
glad to find that the Journav had some
friends at Mount Stewart, and those who
extended so much courtesy to us,and gaye
us also substantial encouragement in its
favor, will receive our thanks. We hope
the next time we visit this interesting lo-
eality to do so by land, when probably a
much more correct view ot this fine part of
our common country can be had, than frou
on board a vessel on the river.

“An Elector” eame to hand too late for in-
sertion this week; it will be attended to in our
next.

Te steamer ‘*St Lawrence” did not prove
too large on ‘Tuesday night last. She had as
much treight as she could carry. ‘There went
from this port 12 horses, a lot of grain, 100
bbls oysters, several tubs butter and barrels
eggs.

We learn that the steamer “St Lawrence,”
on her way from Victou on ‘Tuesday last, en-
countered yery heavy weather, and that she
proved herself a splendid sea boat.
