and the Delegates who represented the|
Provinces new united, on the other; it)
Was apparent to all those who took part in |
those Conferences (hat while ler Majesty's
Ministers considered and «pressed the |
Peel of Union us a subject of great

mperial interest, they allowed to the
Provincial representatives every freedom
in arranging as to the mode inv H that}
principle should be applied, in i ry}

Gentlemen of the Louse of Commens:

‘The circumstances under which the Act
of Union came into operation rendered it
impossible to attain the assent of the Leg-
islature to the expenditure necessary for
carrying on the ordin business of the
Government. The expenditure since the
Ist of July has, therefore, been incurred
on the responsibility of the Crown,. ‘The
details of that expenditure will be
fore you and subinitted for your sanction.

Thave directed that the estimates for the
current succeeding financial yenrs shall be
laid betore you.

You will find that they have been framed
with all attention to economy whieh is
compatible with the maintenance of ofl
ciency in the different branches of the
public service,

Hon. Gentlemen and Genllemen :

‘The general organization and eficiency
of the Volunteers and Militia have been

the whole Volunteer force of Ontario and
Queébee is already, by the liberality of the
Tinperial Goygrninent, armed with the

Tam happy%o be able to congratulate

it has pleased Providence to bless the

the Dominion.

Your new nationality enters on its course
backed by the moral support, the matured
and the most ardent good wishes of the
Mother Country.

Within, your own borders, peace, secu-
rity aud prosperity prevail, and I fervent-
ly pray that your aspirations may be di-
rected to such high and patriotic objects
and that you may be endowed with sacha
spirit of moderation and wisdo. as will

Post Office Mismanagement.

Mr. Eprror,—

Permit me to call attention through yo u
columns, to the unsatisfactory manner in}
which the postal business of this country is
conducted. Lhrough the inea y of the
Charlottetown clerks, the Nova Scotian mail,
which arrives there on Friday, instead of be
‘sent by Vriday's steamer to Summerside
retained in the Office, and does not reach
Summerside till Monday evening. That is
the Mail that takes one day from

days trom Charlottetowd to Sunimerside and |
this while the steamer leaves for the Jater
place, an hour or two afier that is received in
the Charlottetown office, But this progr
e method of business produces espe
inconvenience the month that the West Env
Mail arrives, tia Halifax. Instead of being
immediately forwarded from Charlottetown,
itlics there with the Nova Scotiaa mail all the
next Monday, which leaves just one bare
chance by Tuesday morning's postto send out
lan answer. Suvh is the administrative tient
of our Post Master General, that the West
Indian Mail outwards closes at eight ofele
Wednesday evening, while the steamer bring-
jag the Summerside West Britain correspon-
dence does not arrive in Charlottetown at
eleven o'clock that evening, and for want of
those three hours in which the mail lies close?
at the office, that correspondence has to lie
one month before the next WestIndian steam: |
er leaves Hulifux again. If this is not an age
of progress and convenience, itis not the fault
of our Post Oflice officivls, who thus labor so
hard to oblige the public and expediate its
business!
But that which would not be allowed for
a moment in either of the otier Provinces, is
supposed to be the correct thing in Prince
HBadward Island, Is there no way of remedy-
ing the matter?

Yours trnly,

CORRESPONDENT.

which now, doubtless, hangs like a cloud of| to execed in amount £50,000 sterling ;

he was to apply to the various propric-
tors of township lands resident in Mng-
land, Scotland and Ireland, and ascertain
from them the terms upon which they
would be willing to sell their land to the
Government; and he was to submit: the
views of the Government of the Island
to the Imperial Government relative to
the demand for the payment of the sum
of £1979 11s 2d made by the Commis-
sariat Department for the troops lately
tationed on the Island. Mr, Iensley

of
arrived in England on the 29th of June
last. our days after his arrival there
he wrote to the Duke of Buckingham and
Chandos, the Colonial Sceretary, stating
his business, and requesting an interview.
This letter was promptly answered, and
the time for the interview: appointed.
Oar Attorney General appears to have
boen received very graciously by the
British Minister of State. Mr. Hensley's
first business was to find out whether the
Island Government would be allowed to
.-row, the moncy in England. His
Grace assured him that the Loan Act
would be left to its operation-—that he
might raise the amount required in the
money market if he come one
Mr. Hensley laid the matter of the demand
for payment of the troops before the
Duke, and as the result proved was lis-
tencd to with reipect and attention, He
then handed some papers to the Colonial
Minister relating to the objects of 1
inission, and so the first interview ended.

We gather from Mv. Hensley’s narri-
tive that he explained to the Colonial
Minister that all our land troubles were
owing tothe manner in which the lands
of the Island had been originally granted
by the Imperial Government. ‘That all
oar Escheat agitation and Tenant League
commotions were nothing more than tho
natural results of the short-sighted and
exceedingly unjust policy of our rulers at
Ilome, and that it was but bare justice
in those rulers to facilitate by every
micans in their power the transfer of the
soil of the Islind into the hands of those
who by the sweat of their brows had
This he did,of course,
terms and measured phrase, as
became the dignity of his office, and his
respect for the dignitary whom he ad-
dressed, but we hope that the impression
made on the mind of the Mpglish states-
man will not be-the less enduring. For
our part we cousider that had the Duke
of Buckingham and Chandos there and
then offered to procure the Imperial guar-
antee for the Loan, he would have done
no more than is barely equitable towards
the Island, which in this matter of the
disposal of its soil has been most unjuts-
ly treated by the Parent Government.
This extension of the eredit of the Home
Government towards this, its ill-treated
dependency would not eventually cost the
British tax-payers a single farthing, while
it would be the means of spreading con-
tent and prosperity from one end of the
Island to the other. Mr. Hensley had
several inte after this with Mr.
Bryant, Secretary to the Duke of Buck-
ingham and Chandos, and with the Duke
himself. He suecceded through the
Colonial Minister's influence at the War
Oflice in obtaining a modification of the
demand for the payment of the troops,
The Island will now have to pay a small
sum, but nothing like that first dema
ed of it.

Our Delegate then began to treat with
the proprietors. Ile wrote letters to
Colonel Cumberland, Lady Georgina
Fane, Viscount Melville, Miss Sullivan,
Lady Wood and Miss Fanning, enquiring
if they were willing to sell their lands,and
on what terms, ‘The enswer received
from Colonel Cumberland,though concise
enough in all conscience, cannot be said
to be lucid, ‘The gallant Colonel assu-
mes a warlike attitude the very moment
i ked to sell his lands. He stated
s Fanning and Lady Wood were
in Paris, but for himself and Mrs. Cum-
berland he writes i—

“With regard to the subject of your Letter,
all T can say is that we are not disposed to
part with our Estate in the Island except on
terms which would yield us the same amount
of income we at present derive from it, In-
deed I do not see how it can reasonably be
expected we should do so on any other, but
if such were offered to us we should only be
teo happy to dispose of all our interest.”

How was Mr. Iensley to know what in-
come these lands yielded him, and how
did he know that he would be asked to
sell them for less than they were worth?
The Colonel may be a very brave man
and a very good soldicr, but we must say
that he docs not write as if he possessed
any great amount cither of common sense
or common politeness. When written to
again in the mildest terms by onr gentle-
manly Attorney General, and in a manner
that would make an ambiguous reply ag
much like an insult as anything well
could be, he answered in the same style
of contemptuous curtness,

From Lady Wood and Migs Vanning
Mr. Hensley meets with very different
treatmeut. ‘They asked him for informa-
tion, and upon receiving it signified their
regret that it was not in thoir power to
give him the particulars relative to their
property on the Island which it was in-
dispensible tha, both he and they should
possess ere they could come to any ar-
rangment with the Government of the
Island about it. Miss Sullivan would
not sell her lands until she hal seen them
