A SBIRTH OF THE FOURTH ESTATE. People are apt to for s et how the free, unfettered Uress sprang into existence, and it is well occasionally to recall the} circumstances, Owing to a quarrel be- tween the House of Commons and the House of Lords, about the admission of the public, «a standing order has been made refusing to the people the right of entrance during debate. ‘This was con- jnived at during the year 1770, with this result than the more interesting debates were published with more details and preater correctness than previously. Dap- per little Colonel Onslow, did not like the caricaturing indulged in by those who did” the * parliamieutary” of that time. He accordingly declared, in sportsman’s phrase, that he would * bring down” the print and have them reprimanded, on their bended knees, in the presence of the Speaker; and singling out two news- papers which ealled him ** Little Cocking George.” he resolved to have them up be- forg the Louse. The great Edward Burke, supported by Charles Turner, op- posed the fiery hittie Colonel, but found “themselves in a minority. So the day was fixed, but when it came the contu- macious printers came not with it, ‘They respected no more a second order which followed their non-appearance, Even Mr. Sergeant-at-arms, when ordered to seize Ahe absentees, tound ouly jecring printers’ devils. Llistury saith uot if th young rascals jeered at bis sword belt buckled under hir arm pits for lack ot clisding room over the rounding abdomen—that is | —history is silent as to whether the Ser-} geant-al-Arms was like our Nova Scotian occupant of the post. But it don'tinatter. From some cause or other the ** devils” only jeered him, ‘Lhe House then ad- dressed the Crown to interpose the scep- tered authority. The little fire-eater of a Colonel, noth- ing daunted, yolunteered to bring * three moré brace” of carricaturihg Editors and pressed his motion. Burke resotyed to divide the Ilouse on every paper that came before them. Che minority were determined to weary the House that the printers might get off, —Eyery pretence was made, the most ludicrous questions were asked, all to spin out the time, yen the name of the printers familiar was made a pretext for a discussion. Burke's fertile genius actually laboured to devise fresh causes for delay. The Speaker grew tired. The majority fumed and blustered. But all in vain. ‘Iwo o'clock came, but with it no relent- ings, no natural longings for a quict sleep, Four o'clock with its glimmerings of the openiug day, and the great victory was won. ‘The printers were to be let alone. The House had divided three-and: twenty times, and within the last division the Fourth Estate was born, Burke predicting over the new-born babe that *t posterity would bless the pertinacity of that day.”— dx.

So many contradictory statements have ap- peared regarding the position of the question of trade with the Provinces of British North America. and the settlement of the fisheries dispute and the free navigation of the river St. Lawreace, that it was considered proper to obtain correct information on the subject. ‘The matter stands thus.

Mr. Pope carried on a pretty extensive business in this town for several years, and being well acquainted in the community, has among the elec- tors many friends, who entertain for him a very friendly feeling, and will for that reason give him their support; yet whilst this is so, on the other hand there are many of the electors who clearly perceive that Mr. Pope lays down, in his card, a principle which, when brought to the no- tice,and pressed upon the attention of the Legislature, cannot fail to prove but the | commencement of a contest which, if per- sisted in, is sure to agitate this Island from its centre to its circumference, as it never has been before agitated, and in all probability produce a discord which, it is argued, should not be provoked; and, therefore, to avoid and counteract these results, many electors will oppose Mr. Pope, who would otherwise give him their cordial support. At least such is the inference we are led to draw from what we hear from those more immediate- ly interested. ‘The results and determi- nations of the electors, in so far as they may be expressed at the meeting, we shall endeavor to lay befure our readers in our next issue. PALACE RL Te, CA Ivis our melancholy duty, to record the death of Mr. Asurr Brack, Merchant, of this place, son of Joseph Black, Esq., of Bedeque—who died this morning at 9 o'clock, after an illness of about six weeks. Mr, Black was for about fifteen years in the employ of the Hon, James CG. Pope, and last Mall commenced busi- ness on his own account. ‘The grief ex- hibited by Mr. Pope and others who stood around him until the vital spark had flown, bore evidence of the love and esteem they cherished for him. He dicd trusting in Christ. The Wesleyan Church, of which he was an active and most useful member, is in his death de- prived of a truly worthy man, and society of one of its justly esteemed and honored members. Itis said he died without Icay- Ing an enemy. Well might all who knew him adopt the words of one of old— “* Let me die the death of the righteous.” He diced in the prime of life—in his 37th year—leaving an aged father, brothers and sisters and awife sud three children, to mourn the loss of a kind husband, loving parent and dutiful son, We deeply sym- pathise with his family. We understand that it is the intention of his Masonic Brethren to pay their last tribute of respect to their worthy brother by walking in procession at his funeral the wife of Thomas Kelly, We deeply regret to learn of the death of Ksq, of this place.

FROM SUMMERSIDE TO MOUNT STEWARL, A few days ago w? took passage on board the Steamer Princess uf Wales, to Charlottetown, and trom Capt. Lund, Mr, Burke, and the other officers, received those attentions which have made the Princess a favorite b with the traveling public. ‘The city presents evidence of improvements since the spring, in the erection of some fine private and other buildings. The new Bank looks well, and is one of the best proportioned buildings in Charlottetown, while the College which is being erected by Bishop Melntyre promises to be by far the handsomest building, Queep's Square looks better than it did last year, ‘The City Fathers last season had notices pasted up on the gates of the Square, threatening the pains and penalties of the law upon all tresps s; this year they have placed seats around the walks, upon which are painted the words ** Please walk upon the paths only,”—an invitation which seems to have been comphed with by all classes, while last year it did seem as if every per- son took pleasure in walking where they were forbid. So much, then, for the power and results of civility. ‘Lhe ground around the market house is enclosed, and nicely gravelled—looks nice when the hor- ses, With lots of straw and hay feeding,are removed, and the litter cleaved away. ‘he sidewalks of the cily are as they were —one of the anomolous leatures of the vital of this Colony. Seven ships had just arrived from Europe—three for Peake Brothezs, & Co , two for tlon. J. C, Pope, and two for lon, Mr. Dunean—and as six of these came into the harbor on the same day, with large supplies of goods on board for the merchants, it had the effect of add- ing much to the business activity of the town; while the County Fair and Exhibi- tion added much also to the apparent ac- tivity of all classes. ‘Those who wish to get a good view of the Iillsborough had better step on board the + Ora” and cross over to Southport, from whence a fine view ean be obtained. ‘The proprietor of the “Ora” the traveller will find prompt, cour- teous and obliging, dving all in his power to render his patrons comfortable, Stepping on board the /leather Belle, we went up to Mount Stewart. This place is known by name all over the Isiand, yet there is at ‘Mount? Stewart neither a mount norahigh hill to be seen, The Nast River is doubtless one of the best that indents this Island, and in many of its fea- tures presents much similarity to some of the arms of the sea inthe Bay of Fandy, the rising of the tide and fine marshes being to some extent alike; and there can be lit- tle doubt but if the marshes were diked and well drained, with sluices to let the water off, they would be found much more uable than they at precent are, ‘This river, We believe skirts one of the oldest settlements in the country,and the tacili for farming along the river and its vicinity to Charlottetown, renders it one of the most desirable places for prosecuting ag- riculture in Prince ERdward Island; yet from the river the farins generally do not present so improved and thiilty an appear: ance as they do in New Glasgow, New London, Bedegue, and other settlements which we have passed through. ‘Lhe mirshes extend on both sides of tae river tor seven miles below and three above the bridge. Several stores, mechanics shops, five shipyards, one public school, a Roman Catholic Chapel,and a Presbyterian Chureh and Manse are at or in the immediate vi- cinity of Mount Stewart Bridge. The Heather Belle comes to a whart built for her » short distance below the Bridge, and when the tide is out has barely water enough to come up, while the breadth of the river merely admits ot her turning. At two points between the Bridge and Charlottetown she calls and reecives on board freight and passengers. We were glad to find that the Journav had some friends at Mount Stewart, and those who extended so much courtesy to us,and gaye us also substantial encouragement in its favor, will receive our thanks. We hope the next time we visit this interesting lo- eality to do so by land, when probably a much more correct view ot this fine part of our common country can be had, than frou on board a vessel on the river. “An Elector” eame to hand too late for in- sertion this week; it will be attended to in our next.
