With a sense of security my injured fecling against Tim immediately returned, aggravated by the fact that, before Amalia, 1 could not pitch into him properly. I relieved my feelings, however, by sag ean Rape ge ‘ your luck again, Tim—it will be the of us after all; it’s too bad—scanda- lously too bad;’ and, to thwart him, I tried to Amalia to retire for the night into a lit- tle den under the half-deck, where we could make up a couch for hor with the wraps. ‘ Not yet awhile Senor,’ she said. ‘I will stay here look at the stars, and—and——’ She smiled and looked at Tim (the ass!) So, taking this as ahint that ‘three are notcompany,’ I went sulkily to the waist of the boat, wrapped myself up, lighted a pipo, and lay down to sleep. It had been a fatiguing day, and my sleep, if not the sleep of the righteous, was uncommonly sound and long. When I awoke, the sun was up, and there was a toial silence ; we were not mov- * Halloa! somebody,’ I cried ; where are we ?’ Nobody answered. ‘Zeb, you scoundrel, where are g ‘ters, sir,’ said Zeb, rising from under an ad- ‘ n. ‘Well, where are we?

Under the cheering influences of that meal, we consoled ourselves that after all it was only ten o'clock, that Cayrasso could not leave the Rock till six or seven, and that his first search would be in the direction of Spain, and Africa quite a last re- source, ‘ But we must get on somehow,’ I said, ‘We're many miles from Ceuta Point, and far to the eastward, and if we don't round it before gup- fire, it will bea bad business. We must row; we can't wait for the wind.’ I then had Romano and the crew unearthed, and set them down to the oars, and we crawled along slowly and heav- ily. The hours went on; the sun blazed down upon us, and the rowers got tired with the heat and unwonted exertion, and insisted on a rest. It was three o'clock, and we were still a long way from Ceuta. I reviewed the situation, anc got anidea. ‘I'll tell you what it is,’ I said; ‘we must give up the attempt to rouud the Point; middle of the peninsula), and if we can make it before gunfire, which we ought to do, we'll walk across the strip, and charter another boat on the other side ; it will save us a deal of time.’ The idea was applauded, the course altered accord- ingly, and the crew worked with a better will,” in the prospect of abridged labour. Things were going on very well, and we were all getting as cheerful as possible, when suddenly Romano gave a cry of joy. ‘E breeze come quick now, senores |!’ ‘ How do you know?’ ‘I look—I see—I know ; small boat got.’ (Coutinued on fourth page.) ram Correspondence, SON A CN A ttt To tue Eprror ov tur Ieracn.

At the adjourned mecting of the Charlottetown Board of Trade, which was held in Market Iall on Wednesday night last, Frederick de St. Croix Brecken, Esq. M. P. P., and W. Heard, Esq., were appotuted delegates on behalf of the Board, to proceed to Port- land, Maine, to attend the Commercial Convention, which opened in that place yesterday, They left in the steamer Princess of Wales on Friday night. The Hon. Andrew A. McDonald was subsequently added to the list, and started at the same time for the convention. The delegation could not be bettered as far as experience and competency are concerned, and we have every con- fidence that the members comprising it will advance, as far as it is possible for gentlemen in their position to do, the commercial interests of the colony which they represent. We shall look for their report with much interest, and give the same to our readers at as early a day as possible. Whilst on this subject, we may men- tion that a Congressional committee, consisting of Messrs. Butler, Poland ard Beck, have been appointed to take into consideration, and report upon Gen, Butler's reciprocity resolutions, to which we referred one or two numbers back,—said committee to report to the next session of Congress, which meets in September. A revenue cutter has been placed at the disposal of the committee, and it is very likely that they will make their appearance in Charlottetowr within the course of a few days. The committee will doubtlessly moet with that consideration and courtesy which their high posi- tion and the importance of their mission demands trom the Government and people of this colony. It is no small compliment to one of the smallest of Mer Majesty's North American Colonies, to have a delega- tion wait upon her in reference to free trade, from one of the most powerful and enlightened governments in the world. All these movements convince us that re- ciprocity in trade between these North American Colonies and the United States fs only a question of time, and that it will be very unwise on the part of the Dominion authorities or the Imperial Government to interfere in any way with, or to thwart the movement which is now being inade in that direction. We will not waste time in discussing the right of this Colony to make my arrangement it plenses with its fisheries in order to bring about free trade; for, although our neigh- bors of the Dominion, for their own Interests, may have some doubts upon the point, there can be no question shat it would be unfair to this colony, and tyrannical In the Imperial Government to deny to a Province which haa been robbed of its public lands, the fall benefit of those natural advantages which its position in the Gulf of St, Lawrence gives for a few short months in sum. mer, The injustice and tyranny of the affair would be all the more patent from the fact that neither the people of the provinces nor of Great Britain use those fisheries themselves, and, therefore, thoro can be no great reason why the Americans should be forbidden their use. The dog in the manger policy is the worst that could be employed In dealing with tho fishory question. On the opening of the navigation, the Dominion Government obtained tire sanetion of the Imperial Government, to we'll ‘be drift ' WEDNESDAY, AUGUST. 5,.1868. — _— —t, nd in on with Prince Edward Island, « ligense feo of tivo dollars per ton ypon all American veagels fishing within the specified three marine miles ofthese shorés, As far a$ we can. learn, not a dozen vessels hive n out licenses up to the present time, not Is It likely, that for the remainder of the season, the colonial revenues will be- much enhanced from this source. The fact is,the Americans are determined not to pay this large license fee, and the arrangement is either evaded for the want of adequate means to enforce it, or the Americans flad the fishing quite as good beyond the three-mile line as within It, Under those clrcumstances, it will be easily seen that if Prince Eal- ward Island ean effect an arrangement, throngh these fisheries, by which free trade can be brought about, no rights will be sacrificed, and uo interest, either of the Dominion or of Great Britain, will be invaded. On the con- trary, the door to free trade with all these Colontes will have been opened, and the only real source of trouble between the Imperial and Dominion Governments, on the one part, and the Washington Government, on the other, will have been satisfactorily and gracefully re- moved. The inoperative legislation of the Dominion and Island Governments on this question will have been tarned Into the mutual advantage of ourselves and of our Republican neighbors, and harmony and good feel- Ing one? more restored. We trust, therefore, that the mission with which General Butlor and his friends are charged, will moet with approval here and tn Canada. Every cofsideration prompts its favorable reception on ‘our part, as its rejection promises to lead to difficulties and troubles not pleasant to contemplate. Should the negotiations terminate favorably, as we hope and trust they will, Mr. I. C. Tall will be entitled to a due share of credit for having initiated the matter, by introducing it to the notice of Gen, Butler. . The promptness of the Island Government and of the Board of Trade in taking up the subject will also be duly appreciated. As to the effects of the proposed arrangement, it is unnecessary to speak of them, The experience of ten years of free trade teaches every person capable of thinking, that recipro- elty would be the building up of the colony; that it would admit ns to all the advantages of the American Union without having to bear any of its burdens; that it would be a treaty of amity and good will between us, as also of peeninary advantage; and, In fact, that It would be to the Immense benefit of every class and in- terest In the colony—introducing American enterprise and dollars to every man’s door, We all, therefore, pray for so desirable a consummation as free trade with the Americans. “LIBERTY AND LICENSE,” AGAIN. Ix making the remarks which we did last week, in re- ference to the Patriot's attack upon private individuals, for their private opinions, we did not by any means ex- pect our contemporary to ery peccari. We have too much experience of the Patriot to suppose for an instant, that, however coarse or unnjstifiable his attacks might be, he would have the manliness to acknowledge his error, There is something approaching sublimity In the inor- dinate opinion of thelr own perfection, which the Patriot folks entertain of themselves. They cannoterr. They are Infallible. The unctuousness with which they view themselves and their superiority over all other mortals. their self-sufficiency, and the ingenuous way in which they flatter themselves, are absolutely refreshing at times, Now, we have not at all changed our opinions in refer. ence to Col. Gray's conduct at the St. Dunstan's College Examination, vor are we going to argue the matter over again with the Patriot. Our contemporary cannot deny the force of our arguments—that Col. Gray was a private gentleman, that in giving expression to the opinions which he did, he was mefely speaking his own private sentements; thathe madc no attack upon any political, religions or corporate body, and compromised no inter. est with which he had hitherto been indentified. We did not officiously put forward his opinions for the sake of having them canvassed, and the fact of their having found their way into the press, was no fault of his. We sent a reporter to the examination to give a ful) and an- thentic account of the proceedings, and we published the report with no idea of influencing” public opinion, Col. Gray was not aware of the existence of the report until he saw itin print. We adopted the same course with reference to the Prince of Wales College, the Cham- ber of Commerce, and other organized bodies.: Before, therefore, the Patriot attacked Col. Gray, it should first have ascertained that his opinions were put forth at his suggestion with the view of Influencing public opinion, and that they were accnrately reported. Instead of this, however, he sitacks him with impotent fury on political and religious grounds, wherein we aloye are to blame for the prominence given to his remarks. We don't think the Patriot will gain much by such fll-advised attacks, and we feel very sure that the Colonel can afford to de- spise them ; nor will he be deterred In the least from pur- suing the even tenor of his way because the J’triot wants to manufacture a little political capital at his ex- pense, Our contemporary, with that peculiar modesty and regard for truth which characterizes him, insinuates that whilst he, in the heat of political and religious dis- cussions, never coarsely attacked the character of fo- males, we did so in the case of Normal School students. We deny the soft impeachment. We never made any statement not amply borne ont by sworn testimony in our possession. Moreover, the statements were made because provoked by the gross attacks upon female cha- racter by our contemporary, and he mast be blessed with a memory conveniently forgetful, orhe would remember, that for one of those very attacks, he received a polite note from n gentleman to substantiate them as a man of honor and courage would have done. Ills chivairte nature induced him to refer the matter to the Police Court for arbitrament. “ Put that In your smoke and pipe it.” The less said about bye-gones the better. Woe as- sure our contemporary, that he won't gain much by dig- ging up the hatchet long buried in the past. ~ Tre entertalnments of Gen. Tom Thumb and party two days In which the General and his friends were on exhibition, Market Hall was crowded to excess. Indeed! many persons had to go away, belng unable to gain ad- mission. It was astonishing to seo the number of country people from a distance of upwards of fifty miles from Charlottetown, who had ‘business * in town on Thursday and Friday of last week. Of course they didn’t want to see Tom Thumb and wife, and Commo- dore Nutt and Miss Minnie Warren! Not they. Pious folk, too, whose scruples of conscience rejected negro minstrelsy and theatrical performances, eagerly rushed to Market Hall to patronise the Tom Thumb exhibitions, and to admire the comiecalities of Commodere Nutt. This ts an eccentricity in the moral nature of Charlotte. town Into which we have no right to In hire; but it is one at the same time which is worthy of being noticed, It is estimated that from £300 to £500 in specie have been taken from Charlottetown by ‘Tom Thumb and hia party, and we verily belleve, from the fast-spreading ferment and excitement protiuced by thelr presence, that if they had stayed but a few dara longer, the whole population of the colony would have poured in to see tho curiositios, and the drain upon the “ circulating medium” would have been somewhat serious. The little party were received with immense favor, and, as far as we can learn, they have been highly pleased with their visit to Charlottetown. Now that they have gone, the town is relapsing Into its normal condition, to be stirred np again, we presume, by tho arrival of the renowned General Butler and his co-delegates, who are expected here In the course of a few days. lle itl... tt AR eS were brought to a close on Friday night. During the | ed setlist pana cerecmumanneserannane mae sas — WINTER WHEAT, Tut Hon. Geo. Beer, with an onterprise which does him infinite credit, has made the attompt to raise _ wheat in this Colony. From present appearances, his experiment will be crowned with success. A two acre fleld sown last au‘umn, will be ready for harvesting ina few days. It is free from rast and weerll--the principal scourges to wheat growing In this country. About forty bushels of the new crop will be offered for sale at 17s, 6d. por bushel in the course of a few weeks. Mr. Beer's example will, we have little douht, create quite a revolution in wheat growing in the Colony, anc his enterprise will commend him to the coral ges and gratitude of our farming population. When - grain is harvested, we will give our readers an exac estimate of the yield per bushel per acre. Ta_ the —_ time, the following faets, gathered from Mr. Beer, as m his treatment of the grain, may be Interesting to our ag- rienltural friends. He recommends the farmer to fared ploce of lea land toldrably well sheltered ; plough It down about the 12th of Auguat Into rather narrow ridges, rom ning from the highest to the lowest part of the eel — , across it. By running the furrow In the way described, the drainage will be more perfect. When the land Is ploughed, give it one scratch of the harrow, and then a top-dressing of either mussel-mud, lime, or short manure. Sow the wheat, and harrow it in well, leaving it so with- out being rolled—Iinequalities will help to hold the snow and she'ter the grain. . If the soil has not been limed or mnidded before, it should have either ong er the other. when the wheat Is sown; and if not tolerably rich, it would be advisable to give ita slight top-dressing of short mandre with the mud or lime. If the succeeding crops are to be hay, the timothy may be sown with the wheat; the clover will be better sown In the spring and rolled in, Crvie Execrions.—The annual election for Mayor, and five Councillors, was held yesterday in the various wards of this city. ‘Theophilus DesBrisay, Eaq., was re-elected Mayor without opposition.
