It appears. as I am given to understand. that his no me woegtlieortetl h it at his own Eertioalur requeet,——-he havi given to the Surveyor etterel and told him that he was the prietor. Indeed,-and we never sought to conceal :,‘'—it was at one time thought by_ ourselves (the Trustees) that he would be the proprietor of that I)- tete; but there can be no doubt, however, that as regards Captain B|eigh‘s getting hie name introduced on it as each proprietor. it was not only it s_oiiiewliut premature, but also. in in opinion, an llIl]|1IKIfilllIl9 proceeding on hie part.

' . _ to be there; and so impressed am I with the unpro- iety of it, that it is my opinion none of tht_iae Mo eriug hie name, in that self-assumed ctipiictty,oug t to be issued. I reiterate the assertion, that he never was recognized by the 'I‘raati-.es in any such light or ch.~mii:ter. It was true, no doubt, that he liml entered into an agreemettt with \lr. Worrell to purchase these lands: but the eed ofcoriveynrtce was to be contin- ent tn the performance of certain condit'ione,—coa- itionir which. we all know. he failed to fulfil. ' his object was, it ie not nsceemry for me to say; but the trouble the ’I‘ruetece took to enable him to fullil these ootsditione was very great. It was also true that he put a certain Deed on reoord—a conditional Deed, or more correctly speaking, a Deed containing cove- uean and provinces of certain things to be done and paid. on the performance of which he was to get a regular Deed of Conveyance; but as I have already said. notwithstanding the great facilities the 'l‘ruatees afforded him, he did not put himself in such a position as would have justified them to ive him such a Deed. There were peculiarities that a acted thsttraneactioii which it were needless for inc to enter into in this place, but which] think it nevertheless essential for are teell e to,—-not that the inhabitants of this Is- laad can now in any IIIIJIIOP be affected by his mis- representations, but that those in other places may be put on their guard and protected from any imposi- tioe that might be attempted to be practised by tneanit ' ofthe i\Iep—for in all probability, he is still in poe- aeeeion of afoc rt'ati'I¢ of the one now before us. It is impossible to tell what might be the elfent of such it document; for the Surveyor General is the recognized r ofthe Government as to Plans, and, therefore, when he places on any o his Maps, to which lib oficial signature is attached. the name of an iitdivi- deal as a proprietor, he thereby toetifiee, as it were, —eo far, at least. as he can do eo,—end givee cur- rency to theopiuiori, that such is the proprietor; in abort. he gives to such an individual a sort of appa- reut right to the lands over which his name may

The Hon. tlia I'iui:sti:ia:ts't' again asserted, that

allowing the Fishery Reserves to be delineated in the manner they were on that Map. was itothiti but an imposition on the counir , at the expcnce o the Pro- prietors of the Island. was ill] unfair foreauilling of the Fishery Reserve Question,-—which was one which must be tried in a Court of Justice. It was an extraordinary etep—a very unfair proceeding—to say tbe least of it. ‘Hon. Mr. BtrtiuI.—What I understand by these marks (the delineulions of the Reeervou, on the Plan in question), is, that they were copied from the Grttttlu.

’l‘lte Hon. the I’rui‘.stomt1' denied that they worn: for in the Grants the lloserves are confined to the ciuists; tvliereits by the l'lnn they are iiutde to take in Rivers, and even include every inland creelt, how- ever eiiiull. How does the Government ttssunie such powers? The Fishery Reserve Question wssono. as he had said, lit and pro or to be tried in it Court of

uw, but not by the Legis attire.

Hon. Mr. Btiuvtrc.—(Addressing the President.) —Are you sure that these Reserves are not in the

At this stage of the proceedings. we understood the Hon. Mr. Ha:ivst.inr to say, that they were getting somewhat out of order, and losing sight of the ques- tion liefore them.

And the question having been put, to expuiige Capt:iin Sleigh'a name, and to substitute that of -Mr. Worrell‘it on the Plan-

Hon. Mr. Hoot. thought that it would be better to let the tntitter rest, by erasing Capt. 8le.igli's name from the Plan.

IXTIIAIXS FIDI DISPATCH. Government House, P. E. Island. 6th December, I852. Right Hon. Sir I. Pukington;

In accordance with the iiistructione contained in your confidential Deepetch of the 28d October, I have now the boner to submit. for your cousiderutioii, the points which consider it necessary to notice aflecting the interests of the Island under my Govern- ment, in regard to the important question ofthe Fish- eries; ead quite concurring in the views stated b you, in your second confidential Dcepalch of the wt of same month, you ma be assured the Legislature of P.

I think t are, in the whole Coloity, Sixty-seven. .

In order to denote the situation of these 'I‘oteneliipe and Fishery Reserves, I have sent, herewith. two Maps of Prince Edward Island; and directed tbausue of them be carefully O0l‘t||_l_I|‘GtI and marked olf,_d' ‘ . zuiilting the Free I-‘is ery aaervee.—those In Crown, the unreserved uttes,'iind those in whhh tli_e_r_ are no reservations. ‘ 1 v n J

I have been anxious to call the attention of Her Majesty’. Government to es.’ assuming the probability of such arrengcmentbeiri ’ tirade with the United States Government, as trluul render it desirable to permit the citizens of the States the some privileges as are enjoyed by Her Majesty's subjects in this Colony, there is no where in North Atiiorica whore it could be more easily accomplished, than in tliia Island. . '

By the Convention of I818, the United States “ renounce. for ever, any liberty heretofore onjo ed,

o.. to take, dr , and cure fish in. or within '1 rec‘ miles of any ofthe coasts, bays, creeks, drc..of North‘ America." not included in certain limits: the limite- tioii is as followa:— '

“ The inhabitants of the said United States shall’ have. in common with Her Majesty's subjects, the liberty to take fish. &c., &.c., and the American fish- ermen sltall also have liberty to dry and cure belt in any of the unsettled bays, harbours, and creeks of the soutliern part of .N‘ewfourullund. dtc., dtc ; but as’ soon as the same, or an portion thereof, shall be set- tled, it shall not be lawful, for the said fishermen, to. dry or com fi<h at suclt portion so settled, without pre-' riotu rrgrrrrrtsrit for such purpose, with the Inhabit-' ants, Proprietors, or I’os.~ieseora ol the ground."

Ilaving before stated that eleven Fishery Reserves are free to Her !llitjesty‘a subjects. and lliirty Re- serves in the Crown, I apprehend there would be lit- tle diliiculty in any new Conventions to extend euch privileges to Aiiierlcttn tishertnen. under such stipu- laiioiis as would be applicable to this Colony. as were agreed to and riililicd by the Coiivciition of l8lB, in it pzirt of lIer lliiji-sty’s doiiiittioits not tiiati iiiiles dis- tant front this Colony, viz: part of Newfoundland and Labrador.

lluviiig in my Despittches of October, I851, and February, I85‘), troubled you, at considerable length, on the importance of the Fisheries of Prince Edward island, I shall now only allude to its geographical position in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, its counts’ abounding with fish, and its ehorea ntfording every facility for ciirryirig on so useful a branch of trade.

It has been the chief resort of all the Utiited States fislicrtiieii for several yotirti past, and its a Fishing Sta- tion will daily becotiie of greater coiisequoncu to them. lledeque, on it Southern Shore, is within ll fee: hours‘ soil of Sltediec, in New lirunswiclt, where it brttticli of the Railway front St. John is contracted for, and the produce of the Gulf I"islieriee will be quickly transported to the United States.

Alri-iidy it irulimitrine cable has been laid down in the Strait of Northutnberlend. between Cape Tm. verse, in this Island, and Cape Tomientine, in New Brunswick; and. in it fortnight hence the Telegraph will be itt operation with the neighbouring Provinces and the United States. and I annex a printed notice of the Telegrupli coiutiiatiicetion which Mr. Giebottme, the manager, assures me he is ver aiingaiua will be couiploeted next year from here to Newfoiiudlntstl. -

Should Her Majesty's Government concede to the citizens of the United States, the same privileges wlticli ller subjects enjoy in this Colony, they will expect, in return, that their roduco shall be admitted into the United States on t a some duties .wh'rcl_t are

levi . from American citizens, and also that the iehall be seed, in regard to th ton lonial bui t Veeeela. on the same footing that the British Na- vigation Act accords to Voeaela built in the United States.

I enclose an Act passed uorrte years ago by the Le- gislature of this Colony to authorize Free Trade with America in certain enumerated Articles; it has, as far as the United States is concerned, remains a dead lat-

ter. . ,

Should the negocintions, which Her’ Majc'ty'e Go- vernment ure now carrying on, terminate happily; which I most sincerely hope they will. I think regula- tions for the guidance of the fishermen of both nations

3 may be ensl framed, similar to those contained in the

Schedule ofthe Act 6 Gt. 7 Victoria, Cap. 09, for giving effect to the Convention between Her Majesty and the King of the French concerning the Fisheries between the British Islands and France.

In regard to the general question of the Fisheries, it is impossible for tire to express an opinion of what may he the views of the Colonials in the neighbouring Provinces, where their iuteroste are dieaiutiler to those of the Island, but I will venture to say, tliatit settle. meat of the question in one we or another must he of pnrtiiiiount importance to it I the Colonies, and, therefore, it becomes necessary, should no arrange- ment be come to, that the limits to which foreign bah- ermen may approach the shore should be clepily define .

I have the honor, &c. A. BANNERMAN.

;r_ GLEANINGS FROM LATE PLPKIS.

The New-Haven Palladium says: S‘ We are able to record another case of the com- plete cure of erysipelas by the simple appli- cation of raw cranberries pounded line. The patient was is young lady, one side of whose face had become so much swollen and inflamed that the eye lied become closed and the pain excessive. A ottlticc of crun- herries was applied, and) aller_ several changes the prtin ceased, the inflammation subsided, and in the course ofit. couple of days every vestige of the disease had die- ttppettred. The case occurred in the lhmily of one ofthe editors of The Palladium, and we can therefore vouch for its truth.
