Correspondence,

To rux Eprror or rue Herato,.

Dear Sir,—You will, T trust, pardon me for this slight
trespass on your crowded columns, when you consider
the vast Importance of the subject to which I call public
attention. Prince Edward Island is making rapid strides
in-the Fishing interests. The fishing fleet can be seen
spreading their white duck to the breeze, and dragging

ir live thousands from the briny deep. This great
source of wealth, which was allowed to lie dormant so
long. is now extensively and successfully prosceuted.
Among our fishing fleet are vessels which, for strength,
beauty and accommodations, compare favourably with
those of the Great Republic. These vessels are manned
by as hardy, active and enduring fishermen as ever hauled
a line—in fact, as fishermen they cannot be surpassed,
and therefore thelr rights should be protected.

Considering this, I would ask, is it right, is it just, for
4 captain to put to sea on a fishing voyage with between
sixteen and twenty men on board and no such a thing as
a medicine chest, nor medicine of any kind excepting one
or two pounds of salts? If I remember aright, I think the
law requires that every vessel should be provided with
a medicine chest, and if the law does not require it, the

it be amended to that effect the better; The own-
ers of vessels in this Island, prosecuting, or intending
to prosecute this profitable branch of industry, must
abandon everything small, mean and sordid, and use
thelr men as men should be used. They should jit out
their vessels properly, and give the fishermen every ad-
vantage, otherwise they will soon have vessels but no
fishermen to goin them. The most of our young men
who go fishing now, have sailed out of Gloucester, Port-
land, and other places in the neighbouring Republic,
where they have been well treated, and if that treatment
ig denied them here they know full well whither to go.

The want of: proper medicines on board of our fishing
vessels is a Yery great one, and one that should be reme-
died Immediately. Many of our young fishermen have
been redaced tu 4 very low and precarious state of health
for want o! proper medicine. ‘This Is no fanciful picture,
as there are, unfortunately, Instances of it within my
knowledge. It is not an unusual phenomenon to see
some of our fishermen rowing here and there among a
fleet of Uncle Sam's weil supplied vessels, begging for
medicines. It is to be hoped that the law will protect
the rights of fishermen, and not leave them at the mercy
of some men who are nuthing better than lend sharks,

Yours very traly,
A FISHERMAN.

RECIPROCITY.—WHUAT IS IT?

Iv the Islander be not, as it asserts, opposed to this
Island, apart from the Dominion of Canada, entering in-
to Free Trade with the United States, it most certainly
misrepresents the views of those who originated and
took part in the County Meeting recently held in the
Market Hall to consider General Butler's propositions.
Our contemporary bases a three-column editorial upon
the assumption that those who attended the County
Meeting believed that the Legislature and Government
of the Colony have the power, without reference to the
Imperial Government, to permit American fishermen to
fish within three miles of these coasts, for the privilege
of admitting our productions into the United States, duty
free, and lowering the license fee to $5 per vessel. We
do not believe there was one person at the meeting so
grossly ignorant as to believe anything of the kind.
On the contrary, we all know that we cannot prevent
the running at large, within the town of Summerside,
of astray. geese, without first obtaining Her Gracious
Majeaty’s permission, nor are we at liberty to restrain
itinerant pigs without the same leave. There is no
great constitutional question involved in these vagrant
pigs and geese going where they have amind to; neither
is there in General Butler's proposition, as far as we
understand it. The only ambiguity about General
Butler's Resolution is in connection with the word “ pro-
ductions,” which may mean manufactured articles as
well as the natural productions of the soil, or it may

siniply mean those articles which were admitted into
this Colony duty free under the old Treaty. We take
the latter meaning; and then the question becomes so
simple that a child can understand it. Mr. Butler, then,
according to our idea, p sthat for the privil of
admitting. dnty free, into ports ofthe United States,
all our agricultural productions, as well as our ck-
erel and other fish, we rect te with the Americans
by taking off the duty on the prodactions of their soll,
and lowering the fishing license from $2 per ton to $5
© vessel. The registration of vessels, a participation

n the coasting trade, and the including of manufactur-
ed articles in the free list of ** productions,” we believe
to be impracticable questions just now, but which, no
doubt, will receive due consideration when the larger
measure of a treaty with the whole of those colonies
comes to be negotiated. At present, we have, in our
opinion, to with a very simple question, and one
pa which we ean see no gg ge ° les to carry
nto successful operation. It is not proposed to arfo-
gate to ourselves any of the rights of the Crown in
those simply toask, that, for the benefit of
our fishtag sericultaral interests, we be permitted
to demand the Americans $5 per vessel instead of
$2 pe As the British Government derives no
our fishing Heense@, and-+does not pretend
fisheries, why not permit us to put the
to the lowest possible figure consiat-
? By this concession, no principle
sacrificed. No differential duties, nor treaties, nor
the rights of the Crown or of the subject, are involved.
] trary, the of the Crown are fally re-
cognised by General Butler's proposition. The people
of this colony, believing that it would be to their ad-
vantage, are prepared to accept the proposal, if the Home
Government will permit them. The request of the Gov-

38

just as to the request, and confirm the Jslander's

nion,that, ‘‘ Mr. Rutler’s proposition to establish Free

rade between the United States and this Island alone is
IMPRACTICABLE.”

New Prorications.—We have lately received from Mr.
Livingston, Secretary of the Merchants’ Protective
Union, 198, Broadway, New York, a publication of over

Z

Brurauizep in sentiment as Hangman Laird and his
spy have proved themselvds to be, yet sd severe has
been the drabbing which they have received at our
hands, that they flee in terror and trepidation behind the
ramparts of their connections. It is no longer the
Queen’s Printer who is to be assailed, but defenceless
woman, Chivalrous, brave and honorable Patriots, ye
have covered yourselves with immortal glory by your
last manly assault! Relatives being now about to be
introduced into the controversy, we are told by inference
that the spy’s progenitors never huckstered eggs nor
gasperaux by the dozen, and never carried g little jog
of oats on their backs to the mill to keep Donald in a
supply of brose. They must have been to the “ manor
born” to correspond with his presont greatness. Nothing
short of a silver spoon ever conveyed the porridge to
the hangman's or Donald's mouth! But so it often is.
Those who have sprung from the direst poverty, and
who have the meanest record, are the first to sneer at
others. Because the hangman does a little peddling
business oh Queen Square upon the means of others, he
assumes the airs of a Baron Rothschild, forsooth! For
ourselves, we feel an honest pride in the good and
virtuous mother whose self-sacrificing industry in a land
of strangers has materially assisted in placing us where
we are; and we feel assured that her characteris esteem”
ed wherever known. The coarse brutality of the
Patriot affords us the pleasing opportunity to make this
public acknowledgment of thanks, The new issue
which the hangman has ratsed in this controversy places
him at our mercy, and he may thank our forbears ce
and regard for the feelings of the unoffending that we
do not give from the records of his connections such a
picture as would cause him to lament his folly to the last
days of his life. For the present we stop at the threshold
confident that the hangman will learn for the future that
we are not to be attacked with impunity. He is wel-
come to whatever sympathy he can receive from his pro-
posed whining appeal to his readers. With reference to
Elder Laird’s attempt to wriggle out of the charge of de-
berate falsehood, which we preferred against him. he
ignominiously fails. We stated that he appropriated all
the City printing to himself; and in reply he informed his
readers, and thus intimated to the public, that, although
the City printing was avorth only £10 a year, yet we
envied him that small amount. We replied that the
amount set down was false, and from the City Accounts
for the year 1867 showed that the printing,stationery and
binding for the past year amounted to £66 8s. 3d. Now,
the Elder, with that fine regard for truth which charac-
terises him, attempts to evade this statement by refer-
ring to his “* Ledger,” which shows ‘‘ that the value of
the City printing and advertising (exclusive of advertise-
ment of the civic elections, which Is Inserted in all the
papers) from July 1, 1867, to June 30, 1868,—or for one
ne fitngr £8 4s. Gd.” Why didn’t he refer to his day-

ook up to the ist of July, 1868. He would then tot up
a much larger amount than £8 4s. 6d., but the truth
would not serve his purpose. Why did he not also in-
form us that al/ the work was not taken from the Hx-
aminer office until within a few months past; and that
Mr. Grant's bill against the Corporation from January
until June of this year, amounted to £13? Simply be-
canse the Elder wished the public to belleve that in
securing, withont tender, the City Printing, it was worth
only ‘about £10 per annum.” He has now the whole
work, which will be worth £100 a year to him; and
therefore the Elder’s clumsy evasion won't do. We tell
him again that he but repeats his falsehood in stating that
the Queen's Printing was tendered to us on terms which
were never proposed to our predecessors. If the Elder
wants his baseless assertion truly defined, we call it an
impudent lie; and he well knows it. We are glad that
we have shamed him into doing a measure of justice in
the matter of publishing the debates of the Ifouse of
Assembly. The Elder manifests his gross ignorance of
the rules of the House in assuming that any member
ean propose a motion asking for a grant to St.
Dunstan's College, or for any other purpose, That,
we need scarcely say, is the exclusive privilege of the
Government; but falschood and rant are nothing new
to the Elder.

ARRIVAL OF GENERAL BUTLER AND PARTY .«

On Saturday evening last, the U. S. Steam Revenue
Cutter, ZZugh McCulloch, under command of Capt. Mery-
man, of the United States Navy, entered our harbor
and anchored off Lord’s Wharf. The American Consul
for this Island, General Scammon, immediately proceed.
ed on board and invited Mr. Butler and friends, to Miss
Rankin’s Hotel, whers quarters had been provided for them
by the Government of this Island. Besides the members
of the Congressional Committee, the party on board the
Cutter comprises a number of distinguished American gen-
tlemen who take an interest in the Reciprocity question.
The names of the gentlemen who form the Committee are :
Gen. B. F. Butter, Chairman; the Hon. L. P Poland, M-
C., from Vermont, and the Hon. James B. Beck, M. C.,
of Kentucky. The Hon. L. P, Poland was formerly a
member of the U. S. Senate, and a Judge in Vermont.
The Hon James B. Beck is an able lawyer and an eloquent
and distinguished member of the Democratic party.
The names of the other gentlemen referred to are: Hon.
A. H. Laflin, M. C., for New York; Hon. E. H. Derby,
an eminent lawyer and statiguician, of Boston; Hon B.
A. Smith, of Gloucester, Mass. ; William Pew, Esq., Col-
lector of Customs for the same place ; Col. E. J. herman ;
Major Ruy Diaz De Kay, formerly on the staff of Gen.
Butler, and lately arrived from Crete, where he fought
and was wounded in the cause of the oppressed Cretans ;
Josiah McLeod, Esq., formerly of this Island, and now
an officer In the Civil Service of the United States, and
Master Paul Butler, sonof Gen. Butler. Major De Kay
is the private secretary of Gen. Batler, and Mr.-McLeod
acts in the same capacity for the Hon. L. P. Poland.
On Monday forenoon the Committee were engaged in
conference with the Goverument, and In the afternoon,
after partaking of a luncheon at Miss Rankin's, the whole
party took a drive into the country in carriages provided
by the Government. On Tuesday, there was another
conference ; and bog xa a dejeuner, in honor of the distin-
guished visitors, is being given in the Colonial building.
We have neither the space nor the information at hand
just now, to give our readers an idea of the actual busi-
ness done, or of the movements of the Committee; but
in our next No. we shall be prepared to give full particn-
lars of this important mission. In the meantime, we
give the Government, and those other gentlemen who,
in the absence of the Lieutenant Governor, co-operated
with the Executive, full credit for the courtesy and cor-
dial race ga which they extended to their distingnish-
ed guests. The latter will leave our shores favorably
impressed with the Colony, its Government, people and
resources ; and the money expended in ministering to
their comfort and enjoyment, will have been well laid
out if it produces no higher result than the good will and
esteem of Mr. Butler and his friends. We have reason
to hope, however, that much more practical results will
follow from the visit. ’

Ir is rumored about town thas Mr. L, G, MeNelil, M.
A., lately returned from Scotland, is to be appointed
Professor in the Prince of Wales College, in place of Dr.
Inglis, resigned. We are glad to learn that an Islander
is qualified to fill so responsible and honorable a posi-
tion, and we trust that the day has gone by for strangers
to be imported to take charge of our Educational In-
stitations.

Hanvestine is being vigorously proceeded with all
over the Island and the crops are arereing, that could
be desired. New oats have already been brought to
market.

Capt. R. Walsh, at prosent in Liverpool, G, B., will
please accept our thanks for late English papers recely-
ed from him,

A Coanty Meeting is to be held in Summerside this
week to take into consideration the Reciprocity ques-
tion.

Ir will be seen by our advertising columns that the
Queen's County Fair and Exhibition have been post-
poned one week later than the time advertised.

vortised last week.

ST. PETERS BREAKWATER.

Last week we had the pleasure of recelying tho sub-
joined copy of Mr. Boyd's Report upon the St. Peter's
Breakwater. accompanied by a plan of.the same. From
this it willbe seen that he speaks quite favorably of the
work. ffe estimates that it can be completed so as to
make St. Peter's a safe harbor for vessgls of even large
tonnage, for the sum of £600. ‘Thii,gatiqate, we believe,
is ahigh one, for the reason, that. thepeople of St. Peter's
are so anxious for the improvement of their harbor, that
they are willing to subsidize Government ald by gratuitous
labour, as was the case last winter, when £390 worth of
labour was performed for the £100 given by Government.
But even if it does cost that amount,it will be money well-
expended, as must be patent to any one atall acquainted
with the locality, and with the topography of the North
Const of this Island. No argument is needed to prove
this. The Government having gone to the trouble and
expense of obtaining Mr. Boyd's services to report on
the work, will doubtlessly grant the money required to
carry out his suggestions. We have to congratulate th e
people of St. Peter's on the prospect of having a
safe and commodious harbor at their disposal from which
to ship their surplus productions, and by which their
value will be much enhanced. We have much pleasure
in giving Mr. Boyd's report, which reflects much credit
on the judgment and mechanical skill, of the superintend-
ents of the St. Peter’s Breakwater, Martin McInvis and
John A, MecLalue, Esqrs :— g

Hon. @. C.les, Colonial Secretary, P. F. I.

Sim,—T have the honor to submit the following Report
on St. Peter’s Harbor:

The same evil exists here as at all the Harbors on
this North Coast. The entrance ts obstracted by sand
bars, which are forme’ by the joint action of storms and
the flood tides, and which the force of the ebb current
is insufliciert to sweep away. ’

The navigation has already been much improved by
the construction of a Breakwater of brush and stone 600
feet in length, which, by narrowing the channel, has pro-
duced a scour powerful cnough to keep the mouth of the
IIarbor, to a great extent, clear of sand,

The site of this work has been most judiciously chosen ;
it is well built. and seems to have answered its purpose
very effectively.

All I can sug rest is the addition of about 200 feet of
similar construction. and the finishing with a block 40
feet by 80 feet. This additional length should have a
kant of one foot in four, seawards, from the line of the
present work, (See sketch.) The cost of this comple-
tion will not exceed £600 currency.

I have the honor to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant.

LATE FROM EUROPE,

The R. M. Steamship City of Washington (Inman Line)
arrived at Halifax, 22nd Aug. bringing London dates to the
16th inst., We glean the following :—

The Frincess Teck (Princess Mary of Cambiidge) gave
birth to a son on Thursday,

Mr, Gladstone has addressed to each of the electors of
South-west Lancashire who signed the requisition to the
right honourable gentleman, a letter expressing thanks for
the promise of support, and inviting a fayourable consid-
eration of the c!n'ms of his colleague, Mr, Grenfell, The
right honourable gentleman has also communicated with the
chairman of the South-east Lancashire Liberal Registration
committee stating that, under the advice of experienced
friends, he has decided to stand for South-west Lancashire,
and tendering his gratitude to the body of political friends
in the Salford Hundred who rallied round him at the last
election.

It is stated that in the addresses to Liberal constituencies
which have, up to the present time, appeared in Ireland,
without an exception, a declaration has been included in
fuvor of the ‘ disestablishment and disendowment"’ of the
Irish Church, In most of these documents a denomination- |
al system of education is also advocated; and a pledge
given to support a measure on the tenure of land,

Not the least singular incident in connection with the
disestablishment of the Irish Church hes arisen in Dublin,
About a month since, the corporation of that city nominated
Councillor J, V. Mackey to the office of Lord Mayor for
1809, and in the ordinary course of things this nomination
would not have been disturbed. But Mr. Mackey is a
leading member of the Church Defence Association, and the |
Conservative journals unwittingly construed his nomination
into & protest against Mr, Gladstone's Suspensory Bill. A
most prompt and decisive course has been taken to show
the fallacy of this view, for the Town Council met on
Monday, and by a majority of 28 votes against 23 adopted
a resolution rescinding the nomination.

‘There is a prospect of more useful work for the Great
Eastern, which has been lying in the Mersey for so many

PortLanp, July 28, 1866.
Messrs. Tilton & Me Farland, Boston: :
Gents :—The Safe purchased of you came ont to our
satisfaction, It wasin the hottest part of the fire, and

months, Sheisto be employed in laying the deep sea
portion of the new cable of the French Atlantic Telegraph |
Company, whose prospectus has just been issued. )

The Journal de Paris says that the presence of the King |
of Holland in Switzerland is attributed to a desire to make |
the Queen and Lord Stanley personally favorable to the pro- |
jected alliance between France, Belgium and Holland, |

An sr ap by which 47 colliers lost their lives has |
occurred in « pit at Jenappo.

The statement that bands of Spanish insurgents have ap- |
peared in the province of Aragon is repeated,

The Spanish Government has granted a concession for
laying a telegraph cable fronr the Antilles (Caribee Islands)
to the coast of Mexico.

France has received some unwelcome news from Cochin
China. A French outpost of 25 soldiers, stationed at Rach-
gia, was suprised by a strong body of Annamite robbers
on he 16th of June. Only one of the soldiers escaped with
his life. The murderers had been pursued and severely
punished by an expeditionary French force, who were as-
sisted by the native militia.

Though France, Germany and Austria, are bristling with |
bayonets, and the standing armies of these countries
amount to millions of men, the rulers, whenever they speak,
assure us that war is not to be thought of, and that |
these huge armaments and these tcrrible Chassepots and |
needle-guns and rifled cannon and monster pieces of ord-
nance are all guarantees of a long peace. The Emperor
of the French is the last whose words are reported, and
addressing the people of Troyes a tew days ago on his re-
turn to Paris from Plombieres, he told the champagne
producers to cultivate their vines in quiet, and attend ‘to the
invaluable fruit and its juice,and Iny aside all apprehensions
of war. The Prussian monarch is equally pacific, and yet
everybody apprehends an carly Continental explosion.
The Prussians are charged with putting pressure upon the
Florentine Government to break the connection between
Italy and France, with a view to a not distant war between
Fiance and Prussia. If Menabrea break with Paris, Prus-
sia promises him something like Rome, if we interpret the
oracular words aright, On the other hand, Garibaldi, Mez-
zini and the rest of the red assassins are to be set on the
King of Italy by Prussian influences, if the Emperor Na-
poleon and Victor Emmanuel remain allies. Such is the
report, and the reader is as well ableas we are to judge of
its credibility,
