He says that the interest of the loam, together with the/ interest on the present debt of the Colony, will amount to £14,000 a year; but he knows very well thatthe greatest portion of the public debt is entailed upon us in consequence of the large purchase of Town- ship lands which have been made, particularly those recently purchaséd, which cost the Government about £80,000. The interest upon the sum alone would be £4,800 a year. The whole debt of the Colony ie about £183,000 and the interest about £8,000.

What is to be done with these Barracks, land to what ureful purpose ean they be applied? are: questions that suggest themselves and demand a reply. The Government have appointed a Barrack Master, at a salary of £100 per annum, to take charge of them; but the country will hardly be satisfied to allow that arrangement to become a permanent one. Now, as it is unlikely, becaueo unrequired, that any portion of the Volunteers will be permanently placed in Barracks to do duty in the place of the regulars, we have one or Yl affair, Specimen of; Now that the soldiers have left our shores, never, ais his, and even within the Dominion, there are lustration of the wisdom of the late Government in/gubernatorial character, and where he might consider both sides, the celebration, in Nova Scotia, of the birth-day of the New Dominion was rather a gloomy Onteide of Halifax, nearly all the flags display- ed floated at balf-mast, and many of them were draped with mourning. The anti-Confederate newspapers is- sued on the lst of July appeared in mourning, to mark ithe premature death of Nowa Scotia. It was a fvolish, to carry Confederation without an appeal to the people of Nova Scotia, and, as a consequence, his name will ever be associated with traitors like Arnold, and pol- troons like Castlereagh, no matter how the experiment of the New Dominion will work. It would be an ont- rage upon all prepriety to appoint a man like that Go- vernor, as is hinted in some of the Nova Scotia papers. On Continental Europe, the stiletto or the revolver would have marked the popular appreciation of an act! places where Dr, Tupper, if he were placed as Gover- nor over them, would receive but scant courtesy in his himself fortunate if he eseaped personal violence. We say this apart altogether from the merits of Confedera- tion from a Neva Scotia stand-point, but simply to re- cord our disspprobation of the treachery by which he forced Confederation upon an unwilling poo- ple. The same energy, talent and unscrupulous means which carried Confederation in Nova Seotia, if employed in stumping the country upon the question, would, we believe, have secured its acceptance by the people, and thas guaranteed harmony throughout the whole Dominion.

Be- sides there is a possibility, as his honor from the First District of Queen's County (Mr. Balderston) said, that a large portion of it might be borrowed in the Island, so that it might not be necessary to borrow abroail for tome time to come, It will depend very much upon the estates offered to the Goveroment, and the terms npon which they are offvred ; though £150,000, if bor- rowed now, conld be invested, to a great extent, in the payment of the debt of the Colony, upon which we are now paying interest. His honor from Bedeque, (Mr. Anderson,) was much alarmed at this Bill. He made up the interest upon the contemplated loan at £9,000, bat he fofget that we are paying interest to the amount of £8,000 now. He also figured up the large amount of interest which the Colony would be liable for when,the principal of the loan would become due ; but if we were to figure up the interest upon the debt of the Colony for twenty years in tho same way, it would be an extraordinary amountin our estimation. But we must not lose sight of the fact, that the Bill provides for a sinking fund, by*paying £6 per hundred every year, so that in twenty years the whole will be) paid off, and not become due at one time, as his hon- or's remarks would have us to suppose. I must sa that T do not look upon this Bill with any alarm, but believe, on the contrary, that, under proper manage- ment, it will be conducive tu the prosperity ot the Col- ony generally, freeholders as well as leaseholders, ae it will rest with the present, or any other Gov- ernment, to carry it out. © It divides the responsibility, in some measure, between those who are paying t taxes. of the country now and those who will come after us, though the benefits will be more fully exper- ienced by future generations than by tho present. ARRIVAL OF THE + JAVA.” [From the European Times, June 22.} The serious riote at Birmingham, aris'ng out of at- tacks made by a person named Marphy on the religion of the Roman Catholics, has produced a painful impres- sion ‘on the public mind, fouses are gutted, propert destroyed, the Riot Act was read, und the unbridled ferocity of religious fanaticism had full swing. One or two streets are said to have been laidin ruins. Murphy is the Agent of a body walling itself ** The Protestant Electorial Union,” the chief patrons of which appear to Whalley and Culonel Brockman, To show the spirit in which Murphy carries out the commands of his pay-maesters, it may be sufficient to mention that ina } harlding: in Birmingham, he delivered what he eali sermons, and thore he said, among other outrage- ous thiigs, that.‘ Every Popish Priest was a murderer, a cannibal, «liar and a Slakpesbets” The Daily News, referring ‘@ this madman’s anties, says :-—* He goes about in the name of Prot stantism bot his spirit is that of the rankest P sai wont vey Protestantism asserts the liberty of individual conviction ; Murphy attacks the eople for their opinions: Protestantism’ enlightens fo promoting discussion; Murphy does not discuss, he cap only vituperate and provoke. ‘a here are thousands of sincere Roman Catholics in Birminghaw who have as good.a right to enjoy their religion in peace as the Arch- bishop of Canterbury has to draw the revenues of his web. ‘Thfallible as is the head of the Church, they must submit to have their tencts discussed like those of the latest born sect; bat they ought not to be wantonly :o Marphy says he will not desist, for * his life is in the hand of God,’ but that isa reason why it should be well employed and besides, as much may be said of the life of any venomous or malignent thing that crawls wpon the face of the earth. Such men as he promote the spread of the Roman Catholic religion, by engaging the sympathy of the generous for its slandered propa- tors and adherents.” The Home Secretary, the Keconsry for War, and men ofall parties in the Fonee of Commons and in the press have strongly condemned le on which the *' Protestant Electorial Union" is es The magistrates of every town onght to be armed with a di nary power to prevent such men as Murphy from jeopardising the public peace, ba are waving asad time in Vancouver's Island. ent, animosity and bitterness prevail to an al- ed ‘Y are all the result ot the poverty ‘by the onion of the Island with British Col. which eee “~ at oe nea oe sentiment of one of the papers of Solony i did idea, or sentiment, so ose at Palr 1 isa & eirset when it emptys a man's pocket or robs!

As to the neces- sity for a House of Refuge for indigent persons, there ean be no question. Year after year the community is called upon to support a class of itinerant paupers, who crowd into the city from all parts of the country, and although assistance is extended to them by the charit- ably disposed, to the extent of their means, yet it oc- casionally happens that, from the want of system in be- stowing alms, persons haye died! from actual starvation, The means at present expended by public and private charities, would, if judiciously spent in an institution such as the one proposed, be more than sufficient to meet the calls of the really indigent in our midst. Apart, therefore, from the consideration that the estab- lishment of a House of Refuge and Industry is a duty Whieh no civilized community can consistently ignore, an institution of this kind, properly conducted, would effect a positive saving to the country at large in abol- ishing the Black Mail system at present in vogue. With reference to an Asylum for Drunkards—who, of late years, have been classified by medical men as Dipsomaniacs—an institution of the kind has been in operation in the State of New York for several years, with the best possible results, ‘The institution has been self-sustaining, and has been productive of so mach good to the victims of intemperance, and to society gen- erally, that, although capable ot holding several hundred patients, yet the accommodations are tar too limited for the number of applicatioas. The inmates consist of almost every class in society-—the wealthy and poor, male and female. Frequently the unfortan~ ate drunkard himself makes application for admission, but, in the majority of cases, his friends are required to secure him that privilege. Now. without referring to this example at all, and without going beyond the perience of every day poiats out the necessity and util- ity of such institutions. Our own opinion is, that they would exercise afar more potent influence in the way of restraining men's appetites for stimulating drinks, and reclaiming the unfortunate besotted drunkard, than the combined action of Temperance Societies and Le- gislative prohibitory enactments put together, Their advantages would ba, in tho first place, to remove those degraded pests to families and soviety from the way of temptation; and secondly, by subjecting them to the same restraints as lunatics, and compelling them to per- form those kinds of labor to'which they are best adapt- ed--to wean them from their debasing appetite. If such an institution were m existence, how many fami- lies, who have been brought to the very depths of Anguish and powrty, through the extravagance of « drunken husband, would have been saved the chegrace, the heart-burnings and penury which always attend the caréer of the dipsomaniac? The question requires no answer from us; for there are few persons who cannot refer to memory, if not to living illustrations, for a the personal liberty of the luratic, but the drunken va- thoroughly developed and trained, who is quite ad little under tho influence of reason as the possessor of a straight-jacket, is allowed to degrade himself, to abuse and disgrace bis friends among society, and squander all the means he can command with perfect impunity, and itis only when murder, or some equilly atrocious crime, is committed, that the law takes hold of him, Tt is high time that such an anomaly should déase, and we ire glad to Know that legislation has been applied to roatters of this kind with the happiest effects.

This, we say, will be another chance for Major Vollard, and other erack shots, to distinguish themselves, for we have not the least doubt that, with some practice, they would prove themselves to be a match for the Cannucks, as they were fer the New Brunswickers and Nova Scotians.. An opportunity to test the proficiency of the latter wi'l be presented on the 10th of Septem- ber next, when the Cogswell Challenge Cup, open to the Volunteers of the Lower Provinces, will -be fired for. We hope to see that cup—(which has to be won three times before it ean be carried off)—yet brought to this Island. We.do not know what the nature or value of the Canadian prizes will be. but no doubt they will be such as to induce some of our Volunteers to accept the invitation, As the best shots the Colony can pro- duce will be required, we hope to seo Major Pollard re- instated in his position among the Volunteers, so that he may properly form. one of the competitors, It should not be forgotten in the praises lately bestowed upon the Volunteers, that the Major was the pioncer orfounder.of the movement in this Island, and bis ro- instatement; while t would greatly assist in maintaining the credit of the Volunteers as marksmen, would be an act of grace peculiarly acceptable to the Volunteers and the community generally. The despatches in to-day’s paper give all. tho infor- mation which has been received of the murder of Max- imilian, Nothing since the assassination of President Lincoln has so shocked the civilized world. The Mexi- can expedition of Napoleon, which promised so well at firat, has proved a most ill-starred affair both for France and Austria. The asserticn of the Monroe doctrine, and the cowardly acquiescence therein of Europe, have led to the hopeless insanity of the Empress Carlotta, and finally the death of Maximilian. Theso transactions will form «curious page in history, and one not very flattering to Napoleon, -By almost universal consent, Maximilian is pronounced to be a most. admirable Prince, endowed with a chivalric heroism, irreproach- able morality, and administrative abilities of a high or- der. The hostile tactios of the United States, and the covert assistance rendered by them to the Mexican Li- berals, are the principal causes of Maximilian’s failure to-establish bis throne firmly in Mexico, and now that Under these citcumsances, the sooner some stroug ‘iron, the better for the turbulent and blood-thirsty aa who inhabit it, and for the civilized world, The manifest ere d of Mexico is annexation to the United States, whieh we hope soon to see carried into effect, and to which there is now no earthly obstacle.
