A letter we have received from Mr. Knight. Halitax, with reference to the fisheries of Nova Scotia, calls attention to a possible mis- apprehension in Canada with reference to the Gulf fisheries. Mr. Knight's letter is acoom- panied by a pamphlet he has recently written onthe Shere and Deep Sea Fisheries, and Which is published by direction of the Pro- vincial Government. ‘Lhis pamphlet contains an interesting account of one of the most im- portant resources of the sister Province. ‘' A branch of our Trovineial resources which es employment to a thousand vessels and ten thousand boats, and whose annual returns umount to two and a half millions of dollars, is one well worthy the attention of all who cherish in interest in the industrial progress wf our country.” Such is the commencement of the pamphict, i written Sick aoe tand ae GO ders, as one that will help to enl their ideas with reference to the resources of cone of those Provinces with which we are now in course of forming a union. The people of the different Provinces labor under the disad- vantage of not knowing each other’s resources. ference to their neighbors’ undertaking, but the knowledge does not go beyond a dim and y notion. ‘This can only be effectually pelled by actual intercourse; andin the nuantine itis desirable to call attention fre- anently to those great interests which it will be the chief business of the general govern- inent to foster and develop so far as lies in their power. Now, there is no interest which #o specially calls for the care and attention of jour government as our fisheries, or which it is so peculiarly the duty of the government to Jook after, As we have before remarked, the whief power of the new Dominion will here- after be onthe water. There are now sixty dthousand sailors belonging to the British Pro- yinces, exclusive of those on the likes, and this large ay le force fur emergencies, it avill be the proper business of the new Gov- crnment to inerease and to make available for ithe public defence by forming # force of nayal volunteers. Atthe present moment every- thing naturally tends to develop our maritime ssuurces and ourfisherics. But while nature thus favorable, our powerful neighbors, the ited States are not, They follow out their ] policy to take all they can get, and give us little as they can. In the meantime they are permitted to curry out this policy succes- full They enjoy in our ports the right of try and of coasting, trom which they «xclude us in theirs. They have access to our coast fisheries under a small nominal Heense, which few of their fishermen pay, andour fishermen are excluded from their markets by considerable duties. Iow the fishery arrangements work may be gathered from the following extract from a letter that recently appeared in a St. Jolin paper: — ‘The veesels of the United States, receive a bouuty of $4 ton for every ton their vessels register up to ninety toys. ‘hey also get their salt tree of duty for the present yeur. Lhey pay—when there is any one to collect it—the paltry sum of fifty cents a ton on their vessel for the privilege of oatching the fish (which we ye te a to sell inthe United States owinfo the duty.) If their vessel is one of 200 tons, they pay $25. They catch 200 barrels of mackerel, and I do the same We fish side by side, and proceed to the same market. But before I can enter I must pay $4100 in gold against their $25, (and they have other advantages besides). + Is this fair or right? Can we standit, gentlemen? During the last year ID knew an American fiherman who came into the same river with me. He cauglita loud of fish and carried them to Bos- ton free. There was a New Brunswick ves- sel bronght a load of fish, taken at the same place, af the same time, to the Boston market, which had to pay $2,200 in gold tu the custom- house before landing. Look at the fearful odds against your fishermen,” The system of licenses having now elapsed, another arrangement must be made. In the present position of our Government, it: may be found expedient to postpone a final settle- anent for another season, though such an ar- rangenient js not likely to be popular down below. It is certainly a matter in which no hhatried or immature settlement should be arrived at. We believe that the two interests, properly inseparable, of shipping and fisheries sould be combined. If we adit the Ameri- cans fregly to our coasts for fishing purposes, we shodld insist that our shipping shall be admitted without restriction to their coasts for trading purposes, We make our waters und ports free to them for alk purposes, and the. least we are entitled to ask is that they shall do the same towards us, We shouit! have the aglvantage in the coasting trade and they would have the best of the fisheries. We have not much coasting for which shey would be likely to compete, and they, have no fisheries to tempt a single boat from the, Pro- products ofthe fisheries, ‘Dhenourfishermen sould be opmpelled to pays tiewnty in the shape of duty, for the purpase of ehoournging! ¢, compctitivn Waters, is outrageously absurd. four inches in height. bowl, Shakespeare is represented scated in news, ‘They would still have the best of| a chair, looking down upon the scene, SUMMERSH rp JOURNAL, TAUR en Sa Rs he bongein, and to make ian equal one we vaght to insist om alm@plute frow trade in the their own We do trast this will be dealt with as ite importance de mands, "These matters have been too gener ally shelved hitherto, and sceing it has been with themecives in nebody’s business to attend to them, so far as | for the frontier, and to-morrow) receive | ways the best, Teaching, dike any other busi- Canada has been concerned, they have quite naturally been neglected.

The curate; acted as though he would pay, but he did not} make his appearance at the point designated | for payment, and Gen. Pueblita ordered hin} to be arrested. A party of men went to his/ house, and knocked at the door; there was no! answer, and they broke in, they found no one} in the house, and were about to leave, when they heard a frightful voice, preceeding from the ground, saying: ** Iam hungry?” The officer in command went back to Gen. Pueblita and told him about the voice. The General appointed a commission to examine the house. This commission went to the curate’s dwelling and after a careful examina: | tion, they found a moveable stone in the floor, | and under this was a stairway leading down | toa vault, which was entirely dark, and had} no connection with the air save by the atair- | case, and a small hole that served as a venti lator, In this vault they discovered a few) articles of furniture, and a woman who had been shut up there for eighteen years She was taken to Gen. Vueblita’s quarters. When brought into the light, where she saw a number of persons, she fainted. Atter she had returned to her senses a thousand questions were asked of her, to which she replied that she had been buried in that vault for cighteen years without going out fora moment; that she had been married, and had children by her husband, but she knew no- thing of the fate; that while imprisoned in the vault she had had children by the curate, but she knew nothing of what had become of these children; and after that much became obstinately silent. While this was passing a seargent of the Peublita brigade, then present, discovered that this woman was his mother, and she re- cognized him as her son and embraced him. The son then ran for his father, who came and recognized his wife. ‘The husband, fifteen yeurs ago, was imprisoned three years under the charge of murdering his wife—this woman, ‘Tue Ricuvexp Baxk GoLtp.—The $250,000 in gold belonging to Richmond bauks, which was captured with Seif.

Representatives of the Richmond banks are now in Washington who have been very enterprising in endeavoring to obtain possession of the gold, and have so far succecded as to obtain from the President an order on Treasury Spinner to turn it over to their custody, taking bonds for the faithful delivery of the same, and its return in case of future Congress or Judicial action requir- ingit. The Treasurer, upon receipt of the order, ussured the particsin the most em- phatic manner that they could give no bonds which would be satisfactory to him, and flatly refused to allow the gold t) pe uiKkeu trond i: keeping. ‘The Committee on Retrenchment, ui Winer ue. + wyen as cnairniain, nas ante ee toners rrom Cnronororm.—The Globe gives an account of the death of a man in the Torento hospital by the use of chloroform, adininistered as an anwsthetic preparatory to an operation for aneurism in the thigh. ‘The subject of the intended operation was a man by the name of Gould, lately resident near Hamilton. About 13 years ago he was wound- ed in the thigh by aknife. Ie recovered from the injury, but about a year and a-half ago, an aneurismal tumor made its appearance in the place where he received the wound, and an operation ultimately became necessary. [t was for this purpose he was in the hospital In consequence of the. position of tumor, it Was necessary to make an incision in the ab- domen in order to tie the artery. Dr. Benu- mont was about to perform the operation, a very unusual and dangerous one, in the pre- sence of the assembled medical faculty of the city. The chloroform was administered by Dr. Wright. The patient, after inhaling for ashort time, appeared to be sinking into a deep sleep. Dr. Beaumont got his instru- ments retdy, and was about to proceed with the operation when his attention was called to the appearance of the patient’s lips and face, which were of a purplish hue. The usual means of restoration were immediately applied, but in vain, the man died. We may remark that this is the third death recorded hy the use of chloroform in surgical opera. tions, within a short time. We believe many surgeons decline to use it, considering it too dangerous, and prefer the sulphuric either as an anesthetic, because itis nearly as effica- cious in producing insensibility to pain, and at the same time much less dangerous, A horrible suicide is reported from Leri- da, in Spain. A few days ago a man was brought into the hospital in that place ina dreadtul state of mutilation, It appeared that he had locked himself in his room, ripped himself open with a knife, and tore out his intestines, cutting them into frag- ments, and throwing them about the room. {le then opened the door and called in his wife, whose horror may be easily conceiy- ed, At the hospital, being asked his mo- tive for the act, he said he was driven to it by violent pains in the stomach.

ATROCIOUS AFFAIR. A dispatch stated a few days ago that Escobedo, the Liberal General in M had ordered the execution of of foreign origin taken with arms in their hands in a battle which had taken place a couple of days prior to his issuing of the order, Later accounts state that. this in- human command was carried into effect, and ie ae hundred and twenty-three nep, French by birth, ad enlisted i hean tolon prisone were marched oul and exaeuted in eold aad, One ly one, says the report, “*the prisoners were shot, and each bloody body was lett as) it fellin order for the next victim to leok upon, We are informed that but few of the doomed victins faltered; and when marched out tor execution most of them sang the Marselly Hymn.” Lhe bloody monster who ordered this cowardly butch- ery also ordered a grand ballin honor of the event; he invited one hundred and fifty of the ch udies of the place, and was surprised to find but /l/tcen present.

Gorresponderee, ADDRESS Delivered by Mr. John McKay, atthe Prince Couuty Teachers Meeting in Summerside, on Saturday last;— The object of this meeting is one of the utmost importance. It is surprising that such meetings have been so rare. I am but too proud to see that at lust the Teachers of P. 1). Island haye awakened from their indifferen- ces, und are now making an effort to press their claims on the Legislature. Claims that have hitherto been overlooked by both people and their representatives, and only whined over by the Teachers. Iam sorry that Iam so unequal to the task of enlisting the sym- pathy of our country in behalf of our aggrieved fraternity, or of effecting thay salutary change of which we so much stand in need, Had I the eloquence of a Burke, a Sheridan, or a Chalmers, to strike the feelings «f the malti- tude, I would not even then be more than a match for the much thatis to do towards re- dressing the wrongs to which we have too long silently submitted, and of influencing people to acknowledge the teachers dues, But, brethren, let us be up and at them. We must be our own advocates. Let us toll them of the many days and nights and weeks and months, nay, even years, of the spfing time of our life we have spent preparing to make this a business of life; how many night- ly vigils we have spent with no other friends than the solitary lamp, and some dry problem to solve, or dead language to resuscitate,— tell them tliat the most endearing and precious hours of our lives have been sucrifleed in search of an education to fit us for that res- ponsible station which now denies us a living; not because we do not deserve it, but because we are only the few ruled by the many, the ignorantly supposed idle fellow that lacks en- ergy to do anything else than keep school, as if teaching was the largest oecupation yet dis« coyered, In proof of this idea just look at the salury attached to it. Is itanything more than a shabby approach to remuneration, any thing else than ” mere mock competency for a living? The idea adopted by our country is cheap Education, though it should be at the sacrifice of the best interests of all teachers, even those who haya Jabored zealously and diligent- | ly, expecting some day to meet with a just re- | able place to visit. ward; but alas, hope deferred hag sickened the heart, and the poor teacher has grown grey in despair, and rather than the cloud of oblivion should finally settle upon/him without leaving a single heritage to his name, in dis-|} gust, he leaps from the delusive path, bryshes
