that the tribe designated the Mie Maes of this Is-

and have, therefore, no claim on the Legislature,
except as paupers. He contended that if they
were of the true Indian race, they would have
strong claims upon the Legislature of this Island,
and on the British Goverament. The hon. Colo-

Tho Hon. Mr. Coles having asked the Govern-
ment the previous day whether there would be a
dissolution during the ensuing summer, as seems
to be generally expected, Col. Gray gave a most
evasive answer to the question on the evening of
Thursday. He said, “the Government will give
due notice whenever it is their intention to dis-
solve the House; and in regard te this being the
last session, it may or may not.” The Colonel
might as well have said to the Leader of the Op-
position: “Mind your own business—we will dis-
sulve when we please; or, you will know when
there will be a new election as soonas you see the
Governor's proclamation dissolvify the House.”

The Government are either determined to take |

ithe country by surprise; er, perhaps, like the
| caricature of Lord Palinerston in Punch, they are
whistling for a good political blast that will enable
them to steer their frail and rotten barque through

the shoals and quicksands that are before them.

Colony with the Government of France, so as to!
obtain in French ports a French registry for)

cession lately extended to Canada. Mr. Coles
warmly supported the measure ; and, in order to
secure the advantage proposed, urged the propri-
ety of offering to the French the right of a free |
fishery on our coasts, to the same extent as it is
enjoyed by Ameriean citizens. This was deemed

as would place them far above all consideratious
regarding the cost, if they thought any useful pur-
pose would be served by having the Report printed;
aud very little time would be required for that
work in the office of the printer to the House of
Commons. The inevitable conclusion is, therefore
that the Duke of Newcastle regards the Spy’s
Report as unreliable, worthless, and as calculated
to irritate the people of this Island.

Cup's THroat !-—It ia aur painful duty to-day

tw record one of the most horrible events which |

has ever occurred near our city. It is that of
murder, committed by a woman on a child, byja
mother of her own infant sou. The unfortunate
woman was the wife of Mr. James Ford, a la-
bourer, who has lived for some time near Free!ton,
inthe township of Kast Flamboro’. Mrs. Ford
has been insane for some time, and for about a
year past has bee under medical care. Although
her insanity eecemed incurable, yet she was not
looked upoa as very dangerous until lately. For
some time past her husband has watehed ber
closely, aud kept her as coustantly as he could un-
der his eye. On Tuesday night last, after the
family had retired to bed, she gut up once or twice
and walked about the house muttering to herself.
Her husband, when he heard her, arese and pre
vuiled on her to return to bed. Mr. Ford, as we
understand it, was again awakeped abeut three
o'clock in the morning by a gurgling woise. Fear-
ing that something had happened, he called out to
his eldest daughter to light acandle. When the
light was preevred, he took it and went to the
bed where sume of the children were sleeping, and
there he saw one of them, a boy between three
and four years of age, with his threat eut from
ear to ear. The cut :aust bave been inflicted with
savage furee, fur the head of the little one was al-
most entirely sewered from its body. There could
have been but little pain as death must have im-
mediately followed the cut. The child, when he
saw it, was still lying aw if asleep, its eyes closed
and ite severed head resting quietly on the palm
of ite hand. There was nothing but the rnde gash
and the rapidly fuwing life bivud to tell that death
was there.

Meanwhile, the imaane mother stood by, with
the instrumeut of destruction, a smal) table knife,
dripping with blood in her hand. She made
movements as if it wae her intention to perpetrate
the same crime on the other childern, but was
kept off. The eldest daughter, who had been
sent, as soon as her father had seen what had been
done, to call assistance, had te ran barefoot and
almest naked through all the bitter storm of yes-
trday moruing, for some distance before she
rear & neighbour's house. Several persons
be er py her, and aided the distracted hus-

a . lather in taking charge of the wife. She

throweiment of reason could have caused her

other children, who, if be bad net awakened when
he did, would probably have met the fate of their

to the satisfaction and approval of themselves.

It is yet too soon to take a review of the busi-
| ness of the session. That must be reserved until
| we see what measures shall be entitled to take
their place on the Statute Book, and until, by
|ealm reflection, uubiassed by exciting scenes of
debate, we shall be enabled to reconsider all the
proceedipgs as matters of history rather than as
passing events. We think we may, however,
hazard the opinion that there has been less work
done than in any of the three previous sessions,
and that such as it is, it will effeet no great per-
manent improvement in the country.

We have room for only a very brief notice of
some of the proceedings of the past week,

On Monday the House was engaged, for the
most part of the day, on the report of the Special
Committee regarding Teachers’ petitions. Those
petitions pray for compensation to Teachers, whe,
through incompetency and other causes, have been
unable to obtain a licence to teach, and have been
employed in districts wherein it is difficult or im-
possible to procure the services of licensed teach-
ers. The allowances recommended by the Special
Committee were ig pearly all eases granted; but
the practice of employing ualieensed teachers was
generally condemned, and it is one which is cer-
tainly open to many grave objections —A Bill,
having for its object the suppression of houses of
ill fame in Charlottetown, was introduced to-day
by the Hon. Mr. Hensley, and was read a first
time. We believe the measure emanated from
the City Goverument.—A Bill to make certain
alterations in the Small Debt Act, in accordance
with several resolutions passed in the House, and
lately published in this paper, was intruduced by
Hon. Mr. Pope, and read a first time.

On Tuesday forenoon, the House was engaged
in passing through Committee some of the Road
Seales, and is pessiug through Committee alsg the
Small Debt Amendment Bill—In the afternoon,
the House was engaged in Committee of Supply,
when several grants were agreed to, one of which
is £60, proposed by Hon. Mr. Pope, for the
purchase of a prize cup to be competed for by
the Volunteers of this Island, Nova Scotia and
New Branawick. This, added to the £400 pre-
viously voted this session for the Volunteer Force,
makes a very considerable sum out of our small
revepue for an object of more than doubtful
utility.

A Wm, jutroduced by the Government, propos-
ing new regulations in the postal system of this
Island, oeempied considerable time of the House
on Wednesday. The principal object of the Bill

too liberal, and was lost on division. The subjeet
is one of much importance, and we shall take an
early opportunity of expressing our views upon it
at some length.

Col. Gray, on Saturday evening, introduced a
Bill to regulate the mode of conducting the local
arbitrations under the Land Commissioners’
Award, which has been so strongly condemned
by the Duke of Neweastle. It was read a first
time, and is under the consideration of a Com-
mittee of the whole House to-day (Monday.) Of
course the Bill will never receive the Royal assent,
which any one must know from tne tener of the
Duke's despatch. But if it did. it would be
worthless to the tenantry; and is so framed as to
place the whole arbitration power in the hands of
treeholders. In fact, the measure could never be
worked, as we shall be prepared to show when
we have more space at our disposal,

~——_—~+_e—____—-
DESPATCHES—EXPENSES OF THE COM-
MISSION—THE SPY'S REPORT.

Tue following Despatches were laid before the
Legislature a few days ago. The first has refer-
enee to the cost of the great Land Commission;
and we can only infer from it that the Imperial
Commissioner, Mr. Gray, represented to the Duke
of Neweastle that the Goverument of this Island
had failed or neglected to provide for the payment
of its proportion of the expenses ineurred by the
Commission. It is very clear that the Colonial
Minister was pot apprised of the fact that Mr.
Howe received his allowance of £200 sterling
while here last summer, otherwise his Grace would
not have made the peremptory “ reqnest” to have
that amount paid inte the Treasury chest. It was
the duty of the Island Government to haveinform-
ed the Colonial Office that the £200 were paid;
and they fully deserve the quiet rebuke given them
by the Duke of Neweastle for having ueglected
their duty.

The second Despatch is a very significant docu-
ment. It plainly informs us, in a few words, that
the Spy’s Report must not be exhibited in this
Colony. The Duke is not ignorant of the disgust
and indignation aroused here when it became
known how Mr. Whitman had condueted bis mijs-
sion; and the Colonial Minister very probably
thinks that further excitement would attend the
publication of the Report in this Island, The
question as to the cost of printing, or the delay
that might arise in multiplying copies of the Spy’s
Report, would not be allowed to stand in the way
of sending it out here, if it were deemed service-
able to the interests of the country. The British

furnish, but the Telegram does not state what pre-
cise point the intelligence comes from. Our con-
fidence in all telegrams from the seat of war has
been so much shaken, that for the present we can-
not attach much importance to this news.

varying fortune. Generals Buell and Wallace
reinforced by General Graut, fight renewed on
Monday with great vigor, continuing till late in
afternoon, when General Grant made grand
charge, routing the enemy and capturing large
ameunt of artillery, and driving them back to
camp at Corinth. Federal loss estimated nearly
20,000, Confederate loss over 30,000. Con-
federate commander, General Johnston reported
killed and Beauregard wounded. Many l'ederal
officers killed. Eleven earthworks, 70 heavy
cannon and four steamers, captured at Island

Pills—Affections of the air passuges.—Mild, damp,

foundation of disease of the throat, windpipe and
lungs. Ou the least indication of irritation in these
organs, Holloway’s inestimable Ointwent should be
thoroughly rubbed twice a-day on the throat, back
and chest” In al! stages of influenza, colds, bron-
chitis, this treatment may be followed with efficiency
and safety. The Ointment should be rabbed upon
the skin, as sait is rabbed upon meat, it will then
penetrate and preserve. A change for the better
is soon percejved by the patient, whose steady
progress towards health anxious friends witness,
and with gratitude ackvuowledge the restorative
powers of fioliow ay’s Ointinent.
