The very proper Legislation of the Dominion Portia. ment, last Session, and In which the Luperial Govern- ment concurred, to demand a tonnage duty of 82 from all American vessels fishing In Colonial waters, has ex- cited some attention In the House of Representatives at Washington. The previous tonnage duty of half a dollar was a farce, which, small as it was, was evaded to & great extent by American fishermen. The inadequate force in the Gulfto see that Licenses were taken out at that rate, necessarily rendered the arrangement a failure, 48 Its success depended altogether upon the honesty of American masters. Since the Americans, in a fit of re- venge, were so foolish as to abrogate the Reciprocity Treaty, and place prohibitive duties upon Colonial pro- duetions, the Colonists, it must be admitted, are justi- fied in maintaining, by every means within their power their treaty rights in the matter of thelr own fisiung grounds. It is, therefore, a source of satisfaction to us to find the Dominion and Imperial Goveramenta in wol- son on this question, determined to enforce ia the most summary manner the stipulations of the Treaty of 1814, with reapeet to the Gulf Fisheries, in cases where Am- erican vessels may be caught fishing without license with- in thyee marine miles of these shores. 4 large fleet is to be sent into the Guif to enforce the Legislation of the Do- miniou Parliament on this question ;and if the Amevicans fancy they cap violate with impunity Tuternational Law, they will find theay-eives mach mistaken, According to a report which we give below, the 4merican Government Is about to despatch a fleet of war veagels into the Gulf, ogtensibly for the protection of their own fishermen, but iu reality, as a menace to Great Britain and her Colonles. We are gratified to know that Great Britain was never in a better position to repress domestic treason, or un- dertake a foreign war, than she Is at present. Fhe statesmen who guide the destinies of the Empire are possessed ofthe spirit which brooks neither inanuit to the national honor, yor vielation of the rights of the sub ject. The sogner, therefore, this question of the fisher- les and of Colonial rights Is settled, even if it be at the canpo’'s mouth, the better. We woul] rather sce an appeal to arms at once and ihe Colonies annexed, than submit to perpetual menace, and systematic robbery ang insult, By the judicious exercise of her invincible power at this crisis, Great Britain will do a great deal fo win back the waning loyalty of hey Provinces, and es- tablish upon this Continent that brilliant prestige which has attached to her history for upwards of a thousand years. The Fisherles should bo protected at all hazards: as much for Imperial interests as for the riguts inyelyed in the case. The Americans, will thereby be con- vinced that the Mother Country and her Colonies are tn earnest about the matter, and the Washington Cabinet will shape its course accordingly. Judging: from the subjolued report of proceedings in the House of Repre- sentatives on the 7th instant, a good deal of “ spread- eagleism ” was indulged In when the question came up before that Body, but the good sense of the House pre- vailed over the combative notions of a curious fish call- ed Pixe, from the State of Maine, who desired war and nothing but war with Great Britain. It will be seen that determination upon the part of Imperial and Colo- nial Authorities alone is wanted to settle the question upon a fair basis, until the Reciprocity Treaty is re- stored, and Free Trade cnee more adopted between the Colonies and the United States. * Mr. Pike, from the Committee on Naval Affairs, re- ported a jolut resolution requesting the President of the United States to send a sufficient number of vessels of | war to the fishing grounds in the Gulf of St. Lawrence adjacent to the British provinces for the purpose of pro- tecting American vessels in the exercise of their rights, as recognized in the treaty of 1803, outside of one marine league of the shore line as it follows the indentions of the coast, and a'so for the purpose of taking care that valuable property in shipping shall not be confiscated for alleged infractions of provincial rights in the fishing grounds; and that whatever punishment for trespass is inflicted shall he in proportion to the pecuntary Injury occasioned hy the offence, Mr. Pike proceeded to ex- plain and adygeate the resolution. He stated, in the course of his remarks, that the government of the Do. minion of Canada was proposing to Impose a tax of 84 aton qn American fishing vessels, and to send vessels of war to enforce that tax. It was, therefore, proper that the American government shquld send vessels of war there to protect American interests, Mr. Benjamin, (rep.) of Mo., inquired whether the President had not that authority already? — Mr. Pike replied that it was because Gongress lacked authority to do that. He went on tq explain that the third article of the Treaty of Haris recognized certain rights of American fishermen to fish where they had been accustomed to exercise those rights till the Con- vention of 1618; that at that Convention the Amer!can government, for certain regsons ylelded the right to tieh within threg miles of certain coasts, and that the question whether that limjt of three mites should be from head- land to headland, as contended for by the provincial authorities, or should follow the iudentions of the coast, as contended for by the American fishermen, Mr. Washburne, of Ill., remarked that this was one of those matters that should be fully considered, for it certainly Implied that if the government should get Into a difficnity on the subject it might be a serious one, The last part of the resolution provided that no greater punishment should be allowed than was proportionate to the pecuniary damages occasioned. Who was to be the jndge of that? To whom was that t power to be confided? These were questions which should be ver carefully considered before such a resolution was F He doubted very much the propriety of passing it with- out knowing more on the sub! Mr. Chanler, (dem.) of N. Y., ap the resolution, The fishing along the ecoust of New England had ceased to be in the hands of fishermen alono, and had fallen into the hands of monopolists, who, by organizing large steam vessels, were absorbing the fishing interests, That was the case aronnd Cape Cod, ani it extended also to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, ‘This resolution, therefore, was intended to protect such fishing monopolies, Another object of it appeared to be to give inereased value to = _ yr | —— which the tes mag had n selling, ¢ it necessary to re-purchase them, Mr. Date Cre. of Mass., spoke for five minutes in rt of the resolutfon. It was simp'y that American fishermen in those —— shonld haye fair play, Tt was nat 4 declaration of war. There would be no trouble a- rising ont of It, The President did not propose to in- terfere unless there was some expression of opinion on one would expect to hear outside of the slams of the Five Points, or some other such dens of Infamy, was used and reiterated In the halls of Congress, Here ix a speclmen—Mr. Wash- barne sald it was Donnelly's sche'ue of plunder which made him (Waslburne) oppose him. “ Every corrupt measure in Congress had reccived Mr, Donucelly's sup- port." He (Washburne) “if called upon to make a personal explanation, should only make it with a mem- ber (alluding to Donnelly} who is not covered over with erime and infamy, whose record is not stained | with every frand—with whiskey and other frauds—with | aman who has not proved false alike to his friends, his country, his constituents, his polities, his religion and his God." ‘This ix only a specimen of mach more of the same sort from Mr. Washburne, Mr. Donnelly was not behind in the use of choice Billingsgate. We said of| Washburne ;—~* If there be in our midst one low, sor- did, yylgae goul—one mind barren of mediocre intelli- genee, one heart calioug to every kindly sentiment, and to every generous emotion, one tongue leprous with slander, one mouth which is like unto a den of foul boasts, giving forth deadly odors; If there be one char- acter which, While blotched and spotted, yet raves and rants and blackguards like a prostitute; if there be here one bold, bad, empty, bellowing demagogue, it ts the | gentleman from ljinols." Fool, liar, blackguard, j wretch, and such like epithets, are freely used by these members of Congress to each other, while Speaker Col- fax sits in his chair and hears it all, and the other mem- bers laugh and enjoy it as fine fun. No wonder, on reading over this scene, that the New York Jerald should exclaim: “ Ilow dreadfully demoralized our na- tional legislature has become! These foul-mouthed members and an Incompetent Speaker are bringing the country Into disgrace, They are utterly unfit for the positions they occupy. As to Mr. Colfax, if there were any way of iinpeaching and removing him from the chair he has so long disgraced, and which he is entirely Incapable of occupying, it- would be a blessing to the country.” All these scandalous scenes, however, natur- ally result from the Jacobin violence and usurpation of the radical faction in power, and there is little hope of a change, we fear, until the people become aroused, and {a the next election send another and better set of men to Washington. — CITY IMPROVEMENTS. Tur Patriot of the 14th says :—* Bishop MeIntyre has commenced the cellar wall of a Monastary building, on the lot adjoining Mr. Hyndman’s European Exchange. Owen Connolly, Esq., is digging the cellar of a new shop, between the premises of F. LePage, Esq., and McRae's Tailoring Establishment, and the Queen's Printer is doing a sfinilar work on his premises near the Temperance Hall—Messrs. McKinnon and Fraser, Car- rlage-buikders, are also both preparing to build this summer. ‘These, with the Bishop's Palace, will be mneng the civie Improvements for 1868.” With ref_r- ence to His Lordship Bishop MeIntyre, we may say that he ts actively engayed in building, not merely a Monas- tery, but a school for the Christian Brothers, on the site mentioned by the Putriot, and also a residence for him- self on the site of Reddin’s red Warchouse, Great George Street. Before the Autumn, both these build- ings wiil be completed, to add to the improvements of the City, and the advantage of the Catholic community. Too much praise eannot be given to the Bishop for his sclf-sacrificing efforts to educate the flock entrusted to his care, With the zeal of tha carly Apostles, he has, since his elevation to the episcopacy, and without any strain upon the community, foanded institutions of learning throughout the Colony, whose fruits, already experienced, will be known and appreciated many years after their author shall have passed to another world to enjoy the rewards of his labor. Under his auspices, aided by a zealous Priesthood and obedient laity, Stately temples are being erected to the worship of God, to bless, with the benign influence of religion, the land wherein they exist. The foundations of the moral and intellectual superiority of the Catholic population are being laid broad and deep, so as to be prolonged into future generations. Altogether, the prospects of the Catholle Church in this small Island of the Gulf of St. Lawrenee are as bright and cheering as in any portion of Her Gracious Majesty's American possessions. May they improve flay by day, and long may the noble and accomplished Prelate, by whose zeal this state of affairs has been brought about, be spared to us to guido us by hia wisdom, and to stimulate us by his energy and liv- Ing faith, ‘To return to the buildings now in course oferee- tion, it may not be amiss to state that they will be some thing noble in thelr style and dimensions. The Christian Brothers’ School, for example, is to be elliptic in style, seventy-seven feet in length by forty-six in breadth, and four stories high. The Episcopal residence is to be a combination of the Gothic and elliptic styles—the in- side consisting of Gothic tracery, with square windows and Gothic tracery on the outside, Its dimensions will be sixty-one feet jn Jength by forty-nine in hreadth, and four stortes high, he Colonial Building, where the assembled wisdom of the Colony congregates once a year, will be shabby contrasted with either of the buildings whose proportions we have just given, and Groat George Street will take precedence as the princi- pal thoroughfare of the ity, from the number and character of the buildings which will adorn it hefore the close of summer, Tue Patriot contains a case of “ remarkable preser- vation of a lost child.” A little boy, three and a half years old, gan of Mr. Aloxander Stewart, of Spring- town, Lot 67, strayed away from home on the 18th metant, and after being exposed to the inclewency of the weather for twenty-loar houra, without food, bare- footed, and thinly clad, was found sate and sound, by his parents und their neighbors, who turned out in force to find the little wanderer. prensa ec smermsmnaaet OBITUARY. Died, at the North american Hotel, Charlottetown, on Wednesday, the 13th instant, from Inflammation of the Lungs, after an illness of fourteen days, Edmand FP. Byrne, Esq., Assistant Postmaster-General of this Island, aged twenty-six years. The deceased was be young man of exemplary eharscter and superior abili- ties. His unassuming disposition seeured for him mary warm friends in Charlottetown, where, previous to bis appointment to the Post Office Department, he had been doing business for a few years. Tn his official capacity, he gave every satisfaction, both to the Government and to the public generally,—nor are we surprised at this from our knowledge of his urbane nature, his aptitude for official dutive, and his zeal in the discharge thereof. The principal support of a widowed mother, and cut off in the early bloom of manhood, when his intellect and character were beginning to make him knows, and appreciated, he died uuiversally regretied by the com- tunity at large. Byt to as, who knew him intimately, aud enjoyed his friendship, his untimely death is a source of poignant grief. Le sleeps, however, the sleep of peace ; for whilst he wished, for te sake of others rather than himself, to live, he died in resigna- tion to the Divine Will, at peace with God and man, and fortified by the last Sacramente of the Church, ad- ministered to him by the Very Rev, De, MacDonald. We sincerely sympathize with his sorrowing friends, and offer them our condolence on this melancholy occasion. We unite with them in the prayer that the doar deceased may reat in peace, and we entertain a well-grounded belief that he bas passed from a miserable world of trials and temptations to a happy and immortal home. Tun ** Case” or Nova Scorta.—Respecting this sublect, the London correspondent of the Toronto GloLe, writing under date of April 25th, furnishes the following :—- “The case of Nova Scotia malcontents will be brought before the House of Commons by Mr, Bright, people of that province, who will move that counsel bo heard on their behalf, at the bar or the Howse. Mesera. Howe and Annand have retained My, Vernon Haneourt (Historiens,) as counsel for the anti-Confecerate party. ‘These gentle- nen declare that they will be content with rn Oe of a Parliamentary Committee, and it is probable that Mr Bright will, make a motion to that efieet, The m- tention was to bring the subject before the Honee in the course of next week, bot itie expected that the Irish debates will prove an unsuperable obstacle to that ar- rangement. I do not think there 1s the slightest chance that even a motion for inquiry will be paseed, or that more will be done than is involved iu making a Varlia- mentary demonstration. The Duke of Backingham will, of course, decline to comply with the request of the Nova Seotia petitioners ; but T isdess his formal answer will be expressed in terms #0 coruteons and conciliatory, that the anti-Con- federationists will almost forgive the Duke for refusing to take & party and local view of a great Imperial ques- tian, We think onr contemporary the Islander made a mistake as to the nature of the * Extraordinary mete- orice appearance ’’ which he witnessed at Cape Tra- verde on the 13th inst. The ** extraordinary appear- anoe"’ referred to seemed to us to be the outer lining of a cloud touched by the light of the sun already below the horizon. The peentiar conformation of the clouds in the Northern and Western parts of the heavens at that hour in the evening occasioned the sinuous, zigzag streak of light witnessed by oar econtemporary—and considering that the luminoas track at one time seemed to be connected with the bright atav Venus, visible for a time, the mistake is easily accounted for, Arcuptsnor Conno.tsy’s Ornation.—The voice of the leading Canadian papers confirms us in our expressed opinion that the oration of His Grace Archbishop Con- nolly, on the oceasion of the Reqguem High Vass, in St. Mary’s Cathedral, Halifix, foi the repose of the soul of the late Hon.
