‘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
board ship, The detendant, in violation
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
had stowed it full of cotton, After hear.

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

j inst. In an absense of the Ifon. D. Brenan,
| President, the Hon. J. C. Pope was called to
‘the chair.

Mr. Pope stated that the object in calling a
special meeting of the Board was in conse-
quence of certain resolutions introduced into
the United States Congress, relating to a free
trade between that country and Prinee Eu-
ward Island, ‘The question was one of very
igreat importanse. and this Association, re-
| presenting to some extent the commercial
interests of the Colony. he thought, ought to
take some action on the subject.

I. C. Hall, Esq., laid upon the table a
printed copy of the resolutions submitted to
Congress by Mr. B. F. Butler, relating to
Free ‘Prade with P. E Island, which the chair-
manread, ‘hey are as follow;

Hion. G. Coles, D. Laird, Esq, Hon. B.
Davies, Hon. W. W. Lord. ft. U Hall, W.
Heard, © Reilly,and others,severally addresa-
ed the Board, expressing themselves in favor
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}

ter into treatics of any kind, with the
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
" ‘ge re hbenken fay na.
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.

We have'to congratulate the inhabitants of
North Side from Cable Head to Kust Peint,
on the esteblishinent of a semi-v eckly mail
on that ronte, instead of weekly as heretofore.
‘This is a right tor which the people in’ that
section have long sought; but it was only at
the last meeting of the Lxecutive, und atthe
earnest solicitation of the members of the First

country are undergoing repairs, and are
now impassable. Many of them when
taken up are Icft as traps for travellers to
drive into after night. We think the
Road Commissioners should advertise all
bridges taken up, as well as have a fence
run across the road on each end of them.
If the Commissioner will take the trousle
to send usa notice, we will publish it
free of charge.

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
could tempt the taste of those who like a good
cup of tea,—and who does not?—and grace-
fully served by the ladies presiding overthem.

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
that the expectations of those who got it up
were fully realized,

the right has been conceded. A semi-weekly
mail will be of much advantage to the people
interested, and will, no doubt, be duly uppre=

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
‘Trade between tho United States and British
America, for the purpose of obtaining such
