SUMMERSIDE JOURNA cc oer ‘We publish in to-day's paper a very interesting Parliamentary suz-mary from the last Patriot, on the subject of Reci- procity. Mr. Bell certainly deserves credit for his indefatiguble efforts to ob- tain free trade for the Island. At any attempt made to obtain Reciprocity in 4 right and proper way, we heartly co- jneide, and the Hwaminen ooribo will yot find that out, ‘Tur Summerside Bank has again com- menced to discount. Oars have fallen very low in this mar- ket, compared with what they previously solé for. Wehear that many of our furners have large quantities on hand, apd will suffer a heavy loss by not bring- ing them into the marke: last Fall. The highest price offered now is 2s. 3d. I.anGE quantities of potatoes are of- fered in the market and no one seems disposed to purchase. ‘They sold the other day for 1s. per bush. Four has declined very much lately- A good article sold in Charlottetown last week for 80s. per barrel, This is good news for the poor man, Tue farmers in many parts of the country are busy ploughing, and several of them have sown wheat. Fresn herring were selling here on Monday last for 6d. per dozen. Tnx egg fever is again prevalent in our midst. All the merchants want to catch it. They are selling for 84d. per dozen. On Tuosday last the Steamer St Lawrence made her first trip, for this season, to this vort. She makes a splendid appearance, having been all refitted and painted. ‘The officers are E Evans, Commander; Capt. Lund, Pilot; Mr. McCarthy, Mate; Mr. ‘Turner, Engineer; Mr. Wm. Chandler, Steward. With such a boat and such an eflicient staff of officers, the traveling pub: lic need have no feor of their property or lives. ‘The regular summer arrangement has not yet been made, For the present the boat leaves Charlottetown for Sum- merside and Shediac every Tuesday and Friday mornings, at 7 o'clock. The Princess of Wales will run to George- town, Souris and Pictou. The Heather Belle will run to Mount Stewart, Crapaud and Orwell. Tue persistency of the North Star in its evil course, and its resolution to persevere therein, even unto the death that the fool dieth, reminds us of a speech which, as it was uttered by a Western orator in Con- gress, lately, cannot offend any American toady like its editor :— ** T will stand here, Mr, Speaker, until the angel snaps his last gun. I will stand here until the little aats carry me out pie- cemeal through the key hole. Iwill stand here until Gabriel fires the crack of doom amid the wreck of matter, and the crush of boards, until Asia tumbles into Africa, and the polar (North) Star is left to glean like the eye of hell or a mighty void ol collateral chaos.” Severat barrels of oysters have already been brought into market. They sold for 83. per barrel. ‘Tue roads are now ina shocking bad state. If some stones were now thrown into the holes and ruts they would be of good service. A public meeting for the purpose of ap- pointing Fire Wardens and Assessors for Summerside, for the ensuing year, will be held on Wednesday, the 5th May, in the Court Room. We were shown the other day a very beau- tiful Painting, the work of Mr. Ronerr Ginson, of this place. The scene represent- ed is the visit of the Magi or wise men from the Hast, to the infant Jesus in Bethlehem, ‘he most conspicuous figures in the fore ground is one of the Magi, in a kneeling posi- tion, presenting his gifte to the infant, who is sitting on the lap ot his mother Mary, and ananifesting his delight at the bright appear- ance of the richly carved present, by reaching his arms in a baby-like manner towards it. Joseph the husband of Mary, is represented as looking earnestly at the Trio, and evidently relating something of an important 1 ature. A little in the rear are two Romaa soldiers en- gaged in conversation, On the lett wing of the picture is a Turkish Philosopher, in a full costume, with his gift in his arms. He is ap- parently ina very thoughtful mood, and his gorgeous robes denote that he isa man of rank. On the right wing is a wise man from Ethiopia, with his servant behind him. In his arms are some very rich treasure. Want ot space will not permit us to do justice in describing the magnificent -buildings and sculptured columns that rise in the back ground, A litte vegetation is introduced very effectively, which with the sky and dis- tant hills, throws a life-like appearance on the Picture, and leaves the empression on ones mind that prospectus and distribution of colors have been strictly observed by the Artist. To be able fully to appreciate this Painting it must be seen, We understand that Mr. Gibson intends sending it to Harvie's Book Store, Charlottetown, and «then the folks there will be able to judge of the Arti- san’s skill. By the Steamer yesterday we have the very last news. See Telegrams. Wien are we going to have Telegraph communication? We think it is high time that the wire leading from this place to Cape Traverse was repaired and the office here re-opened, This reminds us. by the by, that we heard that W. I, Pope had purchased this line, and that he intends to use it for the ex- press purpose of reporting the inefficiency of the Grammar School ‘Teacher, the Sheriff, &¢ Accounts have been received in London of the ceuruin sufety of Dr, Livingstone, the cel- ebrated African traveller, It is reported that he loft Zangibar, Kastern Africa, yin January lust, for England, and that he would go over- lund to Cairo, Egypt. A fire in Mitchel!, Canada, on the 20th April, destroyed property to the value of $600,000. ‘Tnx European Mail announces the death of Lieutenant Colonel B. W. A. Sleigh. This gentlemen once lived on this Island. Haxrorn’s Cincusar of the 28th instant, has been received. ‘The prices in the St. John markets are ;—-Oats 54 cents; Barley 90 cents; Oatmeal per bbl. 86.75 ; Flour $5.20 fo $5.55; Pork per bbl, $22.00 to $24.00; Butter 23 cents; Eggs 16 cents; Potatoes 40 cents: Lard 16 cents. It says the price of Oats will be governed by the supply which will come forward from IP, E. Island. Some six or eight cargoes have already gone there, Tun Steamer St. Lawrence took from this port, on Tuceday last, & pretty large freight. Att the pohooneres which were detained here by the iee, have gone out. ‘Yue weather during the past week has been very fine, and the roads are drying up nicely. ‘Tun following gentlemen have been ap- pointed Sheriffs for the current year :— Queen's County—Wm.

Unionyale, April 16, 1869. Very Latest Telegrams. London, April 21. During a debate on the Educational Bill in the Bavaria Chambers to-day, the Prime Min- ister Prince Hohenloo made a remarkable speech, After protesting against the entrance of any party feeling whatever in the consider- ation of questions concerning the Church, he proceeded to stigmatize the encyclical letter of the Pope as contrary to the spirit of the age, and as one of the causes of the differences which have arisen between the Church and the State. Madrid advices states that another informal meeting of members of the majority in the Cortes, was held to-day, to nominate a can- didate for the throne. So great was the diver- sity of opinion, that the meeting broke up without result, leaving the meeting more widely divided than before on the subject. Prime Minister Serrano declared that the choice of Montpensier for King. or a declar- ation of a Republic, were the only possible alternatives, Gen, Prim, who was also pre- sent, remained silent throughout the proceed- ings. His conduct has given rise to a wide- spread belief that he would not be unwilling to accept the Presidency of a Spanish Repub- lican, ‘The Cortes is considering a project for the re-organization ofthe army on the Prussian system, London, April 28, The Morning Post” has an elaborate editorial article on the Cuban question. The writer says itis asserted that President Grant has a longing eye on Cuba, and is not unwilling to distract the attention of the people from their interual affairs by a foreign war. The issue of a cenflict be- tween United States und Spain cannot be doubtfal unless England and France inter- fere, A blow at Cuba would be a blow at all the West Indies, and the acquisition of Cuba might be followed by the acquisi- tion of Jamuicaand Martinique ete. ‘The ‘** Post” goes on to quote the recent ac- quisitions of Territory by the United States in proof ot her desire to acquire piece-meal the possessions of the European powers in America, It would be natural to begin with Cuba, belonging to the weakest of the three powers Weide possessions in the West Indies, It may be that France and England will determine whether, in the event of the execution of the designs of Cuba, they will aid Spain to retain her colony, or calmly look on, The French papers agitate the question in much the same viow. Special meetings of the Fri nch Cabinet were held yesterday, and on ‘Tuesday, on the same snbject. A special agent was despatched to London last night, lo communicate with the English Government in regard to the complications, Washington, April 22. Atan interview between the Spanish Miais- terand Secretary Fish, on ‘Tuesday, the latter refused to issue a proclamation discouraging filibustering expeditions to Cuba, He alsv informed Senor Robarts that the United States Government considered the English Govern- ment liable for the capture of the brig Mary Lowell, and reperation had therefore been de- manded through the British Ministers. He also said that he had demanded full reperation and indemity from Spain for the capture of the sehr. Lizete Major, and that if an answer was not forthcoming shortly war would ensue, Secretary Fish’s action has caused great excitement in England, Spain, and the United States, Tne second number of a new journal, the Imperialist, has a; peured. It announces that its object is to prepare the people of the United States fur revolution, which is alike desirable and inevitable, Democracy, though theoretically plausible, has resulted in fuil- ure—has been found to mean nothing but lawlessness and insecurity to person and pro- perty—robbing of personal creditors and civil war; while monarchical institutions on the other hand, mean Jaw, order, and security, public faith, and peace. We quote, verbatim as follows: ‘ Thatthe Government of the Whited States is as thoroughly corrupt as the skillful villiany of knaves, swindlers and thieves, placed in office by the will of people can make it, is a fact that none ean deny. ‘That we have reached a cris in our national affairs, when the establishment ofa pure, strong, central government, is essential to the prosperity of our national life, is equally ap- parent. ‘The only question to be decided is . tow can this change be effected? London, April 25. It is rumored that the Government will adopt a new and bold policy as to the Spanish Cuban question. Belligerent rights are to be conceded to the Cuban insurgents, assistance rendered, and the independance of the Island assured. This, it is argued, will prevent annexation to the United States, and give a show of con- sistency to the Alabama claims and _beliger- ent rights question pending with the American Government. Despatches from Madrid report that a great popular demonstration was made there yes- terday in favor of a Republic. It is rumored that a dispute between the Primo Minister and Gen, Prim has lately arisen, A resolution condemning the conduct of the patriarch of the Antilles was brought be- fore the Cortes yesterday, Marshal Serrano opposed it, intimating that its adoption would be an implied censure of the Government. ‘The resolution was then withdrawn. Salustina Olozaga during the session of the Cu rtes yesterday assured the members that Frat.ce would respect the future goverrment of Spain, whatever form might be adopted. New York, April 26th. Advices from Nassau state that active mil- itary preparations are in progress, the forts are being strengthened and garrison rein- forced inanticipation of possible complications arising from the recent imbrogho with the Spanish officials of Havana, relative to the outrages committed on British vessels. The patriot Quesedu’s brother and Cespe- da’a son are both at Nassau. A demand has been received from Captain General Dulce, of Cuba, for the surrender of the pirates who captured the steamer Comanditario, and for giving up other alleged enewies of Spain; that his demand was refused by the British Governor of New Province, and the matter referred to London for settlement. A steamer was sunk in the Missouri river on Saturday morning, near Sioux city, and while sinking her boiler exploded; she had on board a large number of discharged soldiers, fifty of whom were reported lost.—Gold 1334, al arried, ao ‘On the 2th ult, at Montrose, by the Rey R W.
