    asserting the superiority of the voluntary

    ‘SALors and THEin SLEEPING Pracrs.—
    Sailors frequently complain that proper
    uccommodation is not provided for them
    on board ship for sleeping and other pur-
    poses, and they also say that it is dificult
    for them to obtain redress, A case—al
    most the first of the kind—however, has
    been tried by Mr. J. K. Blair, at the Liv-
    erpool County Court, which shows that
    when acaptain breaks the contracts he
    enters into with his seamen in relerence to
    the space allotted to them for a sleeping
    apartment, and which is fixed by Act ot
    Varliament, he may be sued, and damages
    recovered from him, for the hardship so
    inflicted upon the men. ‘The case thus re-
    vert d to excited considerable interest,
    there being a number of seamen pre-ent.
    Mr. Norden stated that the men_ signed
    articles for a voyage on board the Pioneer,
    from Liverpool to Charleston, thence to
    many other fe in the United States, and
    Back to Liverpool. ‘Lhe actions were
    brought to recover only damages of a no-
    minal ammount, and for the purpoce ot es-
    tablishing an important principle. ‘The
    amen said that there had been a breach of
    contract. Ly the articles, and by the Act
    ol Parliament a certain place was tu be al-
    lowed for seamen to live and slvep in on

    of the Act of Parliament and the articles,
    refused to allow the men the place they
    were entitled to; they had been turned
    out of their ila place, and the captain

    Nova Scorn Axp Casava.—The bearings
    of the dlova Scotia question are illustrated in
    a temperate and instructive report which has
    been prepared by Mr. Haliburton. a native of
    Nova Scotia, who was lately delegated by “the
    various investigate societies of mechanics at
    Halifax” to go to Canada and examine the con-
    tedcration scheme. He shows very clearly
    that the antecedents of his provinces have un-
    fitted it for standing alone. A century of
    Governmvut contracts and countenance has
    rendered the citizens of Halifax indisposed
    to rely on their own resources. The Act of

    they were grieving over a loss of trade owing
    to the abrogation of the reciprocity treaty
    with the United States. This was a severe
    blow to Nova Scoiia, Her “coal trade, large
    though ithas been was only in ite infancy,
    new mines were being opened, and an nolimit-
    ed export would have been a short time sup-
    plied, had not almost all operations in new
    inines been interrupted by tie action of the
    American Government, The suspension of
    the export of Agricultural products and of our
    fish was an almost equally heavy blow.”

    It is possible to stop commercial intercourse |
    by arbitrary legislation; butitis not so easy
    to open up at a moment's notice new channels
    for the sule of commodities. Whatis urgently
    required is the establishment of intercolonial
    trade, so that the castern and western provin-
    ces nay exchange the coal, for which the for-
    mer cannot find a market, for the grain which
    the latter has in superabundince, ‘Tho fault
    of the Dominion Varliament is that it has not
    contributed nothing towards this result. A
    little labour expended upon providing facilities
    for trade wonld prove more efficacious in
    quelling discontent than the most vigorous
    measures of repression. Mr. Haliburton has
    indicated what might be done, and there is no
    reason why his propositions should not be
    adopted as the policy of the Canadian Guvern-
    ment. He be!ovea that were intergolonial

    Mr. Pope stated that the object in calling a

    of Free Trade with the United States. and
    after lengthened discussion the following re-
    solution was agreed to.

    Wueneas it appears from certain printed
    Resolutions as submitted by Mr. B. Fy But-
    Jer on the Oth of July last, that the Senate and
    House of Representatives of the United States

    Pole, was}

    governments of difftrent nations, That
    the whole question of Reciprocity, affect-
    ing as it docs Imperial interests, should
    be submitted to the Ilome Government.
    It is plain that in a case of national
    agreement, wherein the goverpment of one
    of the countries is the proposing party,
    that the government of that with whom
    the agreement is intended to be made
    should be the ot:.er party. This, however,
    seems to be overlooked by some who, in
    their eagerness to draw closer the bands
    of connection between this Island and the
    United States, scarcely take time to re-
    flect.

    It is not to bo wondered at, that the
    ‘true Leatings of the case have been over-
    looked by some of our Ivland writers in
    their haste, dazzled a little, as they may
    have been, by the prospect of a new Reci-
    procity Treaty. But however unsuspicious |
    some may be, itis certain that no reflect-
    ing mind can look upon the svertures
    proposed to be made to us without be-
    coming conscious that they have not been
    planned without due thought and design.
    By their own admission, the American.
    abrogated the Treaty of 1854 as an at-
    tempt at political punishment, for the
    sympathy shown by these colonics to the
    | South. How signal was their defeat in
    this object, and their success in pickling a |
    rod for their own back, they now equally
    admit. We do not rejoice in this, but we

    think it is only right to consider that as

    litical ends, so another may be now oller-

    ed for the same purposes. It is well
    known that to interfere with the relations
    of smaller and weaker adjacent countries
    with a view of obtuining, firstly, influ-
    ence, and then ascendancy over them,has
    ever been the policy of the American
    Government. An opportunity to carry
    this policy out with this Island is especi-
    ally given just now, on account of the
    pesition we occupy towards the Domin-
    ion. If through the agency of a Reci-
    procity ‘I'reaty and other agencies lately
    set to work in Charlottetown and else-
    where, the people of this Island could be
    brought into more friendly and intimate
    intercourse with the United States than
    with the New Dominion, the wedge to-
    wards dividing us from British interests,
    and thereby consummating the long con-
    templated scheme of Annexation, would
    be driven far ‘home.

    We do not wish, however, to be undor-
    stood as opposing any Free ‘Trade scheme
    proposed on good and equitable principles.
    We have little doubt that such will
    shortly be carried into effect throughout
    the Dominion. Meanwhile proper re-
    presentation of its devirability in the Is-
    land should be laid before the Home au-
    thorities, by whose intervention and the
    friendly co-operation of the Washington
    Government, a broader basis will no
    doubt be laid for uninterrupted commerce
    between British and American subjects
    throughout the Northern Continent.

    THE MARITIME PROVINCES.

    of The Canadian, which this month
    publishes an excellently well considered
    article on Newfoundland, which, as our
    ably conducted contemporary says, ‘is
    the oldest of the British Colonies, yet
    perbaps itis less known than any other
    portion of Englond’s Colonial domain, on
    this side of the Atlantic, and yet,

    success commercially, Thousands of per.

    few individucls choose ty try their pugi-
    listic strength. At a tavern some few
    miles from the tea grounds a man named
    Kennedy received three stabs of a knife
    at the hands of a young man samed
    Clark. It is said the knife was used in
    self defence, and that Clark was almost
    beaten to death. One wound inflicted
    on Kennedy was very bad, but we learn
    that he is recovering.

    steamer was ordered back to Shediac, in-
    stead of finishing her voyage to Charlotte-

    our destination ; this was anything bat sate
    istactory to us, Lut Mr, Bertram, the Com-

    passengers to forward to Shediac acd us
    to Charlottetown ; and acting upon orders,
    seut the boat accordingly back to Shediag,
    and proposed to pay our hotel expenses
    Uil the return of the boat, to which ar-
    rangements we consented, We were ac.
    cordingly, conveyed to the *Cliiton House,”
    where we received every attention from
    Mrs. Mawley, whose kindness and urban-
    ity of manner, cannot tail to recommend
    her house to the lavorable notice of travel+
    ers and excursionists.

    now impassable. Many of them when
    taken up are Icft as traps for travellers to

    Tn. Catholic Tea which came off yesterday
    in this town, was quite a success. The day
    was cool, and all that could be desired. At
    an early hour people from the country began
    to arrive, who, vith those who came from
    Charlottetown by the Jtncess on the previ-
    ous night, increased the number of those who
    attended to considerably over two thousand,

    ranged tent. were well supplied with all that

    the violin, and others 910 enlivened thescene
    with the martial strains of ue bagpipes, drew
    around them their respective admirers,
    Swings, the dance, and other amusements en-
    gaged the attention of many of the youre,
    while the more advanced portion in life en-
    joyed themselves in wituessing their mirth, or
    walking round the grounds, while the good
    order, pléasantry,and kindly feeling manifested
    among all present, rendered the meeting very
    agreeable and pleasant, and the numbers that
    came to our usually quict little town, gave to
    our streets quite a lively appearance, We
    have not heard what the Tea realized, but
    judging from the fact that 1000 tickets were
    sold at the gate, and from the amount af Cake,
    &c,, disposed of by auction, should imagine

    We take the following quotation from
    the Advertiser Gazette: —

    In the year 1500, learned men were em-
    ployed as correctors of Uhe press to distinguish:
    ed printers, Dishops,pricsts, lawyers, aii pliy-
    sicians occupied tis departinent, and as the
    printers added to their names those of the cor-
    rectors of the press, the editions were valued
    according to the talents of the correcter, In
    the seventwetoh century, the printers held gain
    in more esteem than giory, apd began to cis-
    play a want of torethought tn the selection of
    their correctors. ‘The compositors were com-
    fortably seated on cushioned stools, and had
    the privilege of wearing asword and dirk; a
    recognition Uiat nen of birth and edavation
    were accustomed to practice the art of prin+

    Edward Island; and this board, being of opin-
    ion that such Trade would be most conducive
    to the financial interests of both countries,
    will use their beet efforts to promote so desir-
    uble an object.

    Resolved, therefore, That a Committee of
    five gentlemen be appointed from this Board,
    to correspond with Boards of ‘Trade, and
    other persons interceted in Reciprocal Pree
