Ir will be seen by our readers that pablic meetings have been held ‘in several parts of the Colony during the past fort- night, for the ostensible purpose of preparing petitions to the Legislature against the passage of the Municipal and Board of Works Bilis. All those meetings have, except in one or two

more than a hundred of them, and drove the rest before him | @ddition to many other things which have previously appeared cases, been called together by the opponents of the Govern-

in eoufusion, recapturing all the guns which they had taken. | Orr thea cejoined the Brigadier, and the whole column thea | advanced on Mandesore. On the 2st they came up with the enemy and drove them back into the town without difficulty. Then, the primary object being to relieve Nee- much, they skirted Mundesore, and marched about three miles further till they came upon the main body of the enemy, strongly posted it and in front of a village. Here the re- sistance Was desperate, and it was not till the evening of the 24th, long after all tyhting in the open had ceased, that the whole of the village was carried. The infantry engaged in this service behaved admirably [ am told—S6th Bombay, 25th, and Ist Hyderabad Contingent. While engaged in front, tie enemy from Mundesore assailed the rear, and in

iling them the 14th Ligti Dragoons lost an officer, Lieutenant Redmayne ; but the victory was complete, and so great was its effect that the body of the enemy watching Neemuch broke up th ir camp and fled in such confusion | that they left behind them not merely the scaling ladders which they had prepared for the assault, but also their sym- bo. and rallying point of insurrection—the green flag. They have probably made off dowa the Rampoora Pass, and may

' _ make a stand at Kotah, perhaps. If so Brigadier u

art will follow them there, his victory having quite quieted Malwa. The other Deccan column under Brigadier Siuart {the identity in sound ef the two names gives rise to some confusion), which was ordered to Hoshungabad, now moves from that point across the Nerbudda to Schore, so as to com-

> »mand Saugor on the right and Indore on the left, and to » “help the Begum of Bhopal. Saugor and Jubbuipore are

gate for the present. There have been two little skirmishes lately in those parts between the Madras troops and the rebels, in one of which Major Jenkins, of the Quartermaster-

General's Department—in the other, Captain Tottenham, of |

the 4th Cavalry—was killed. But Holker, at Indore, sorley wants English troops. Some 1,400 of bis mutinous soldiery are still troubling him here. He wil! soon be relieved. Sir Robert Hamilton andySir Hugh Rose ave going up there at onee—the former to his old appointment as Resident, the latter in command of al! the Malwa field forces. They go together to Asseergiur. thence to Mhow by Maudlaisir, gather up the reinforcements from Poonah—the troops of the 14th Light Dragoons, the 3d Light Cavalry, wing of the 3d Europeans, 2388 Native Infantry, and a field battery — and move right oa Indore, to give the ruffians there a lesson which will not readily be forgotten. The company of Royal Engineers lately ar‘ived here also accompanies Sir Huzh. But the Bombay Government, with all its zeal and activity, is unable just aow to spare one of the inte ded reinforce- ments, and that a very valuable one—the remaining com- panies of the 56th at Belgaum, They are unluckily wanted down ia that neighbourhood.

tp Pasua.—The Grand Vizier, Redschid tivople on Wednesday last, after an illness of and one that did not appear to possess a dangerous ) Redsehid Pasha was only 58 years of age. In his death the Oitoman Empire has met with a great misfortune. A country like Turkey can ill afford to lose its ablest man. Redschid Pusha bad for many years filled the highest functions at the Porte. He was one of the first of those Turks who in the time of the late Sultan Mahmoud was influenced by European habits and education, and he early took a part in the reforms which that strong- minded monarch introduced. Redschid, who has filled the office of Ambassador both in Paris and London, has, we be- | Reve, been (irand Vizier no less than six times, and he has| died at his post. He was a faithful administrator, because he was an able man; his honesty may have been possibly a

Pasha,

to the Sultan brought him wealth, power, and an [mperial | alliance. He was not a mere wgry man, for he spent freely, and evea with prodigality ; bat he egeeived during his earser very large sums of money fromevhe Suitan. His debts, we believe, were paid once or twice, 4nd a palace commenced by | him on the Bosphorus was taken aud finished by the Sultan, and tien presented to Redschid’s son, who had just espoused the Sultan's daughter. Redschid also became possessed of property in Thessaly and in other parts of the Empire. But he has never been accused of such gross corruption as was practised by some of bis contemporarics. More than once the Turks have cried out against him, but their denuncia- tions were probably caused more by his reforming predilec- tions and the envy of rivals at his success than by any just | suspicion of malpractices. He has undou)tedly been during the whole of the present reign the most trustworthy as he | was the most able statesman in the Turkish capital. Of| Jate years, and since his alliance with the Sultan, Redsehid | Pasha held decidedly the first place in the Turkish State. | He perfectly understood the views and desires of England | and France, of Russsa and of the German Powers.

QUESTIONS TO BE puT To CANDIDATES FoR SraTs IN THE ENSUING Generan AssyemBLy or tuts IsLanp.

[By order of the Protestant Combination.]

“1. Do. you acknowledge the necessity for the great Re- formation from Popery in the sixteenth century ?7—and do - vt ae of the general reforming principles promulgated

y Luther, Calvin, Cranmer and Knox!

‘© 2, Are you aware of the existence of a wide-spread combination of Popish agents for the re-subjugation of the British Empire to the priestly domination of Rome ?—and being so, do you disallow and condemn all such designs and efforts, as wabeatites of the best interests of our empire and the world?

**3. Do you solemuly pledge yourself, before your country, that while granting civil rights and religious toleration to Roman Catholics, so far as consistent with the well-being of | the state, you will resist to the utmost all Romish aggressions on the rights of others, and all endowments of Popery,— specially grants to sehools, monasteries, nunneries and col- leges, under such control

‘*4. Do you promise to support the Common Free School system ,—resisting al] denominational control over any portion of our public schecls? And do you solemnly pledge yourself, before your country, that you will resolutely seek, by all lawful means, the introduction and permanent establishment of the Holy Bible as the standard book of Morai Training in all our educational establishments receiving state support ?

‘¢ On the above, we remark—Representatives are bound to carry out the views of their constituents. If these views do not correspond with their own, they ought not in conscience to accept the office. These sentiments or opinions are and should be religions as well as political in their bearings,—as moral and religious questions cannot possibly be avoided in the government.of a moral and religious people. Heretofore many agents have exerted themselves to inform the people of their religious rights. With these we find no fault. But another party have blended their religion and politics into one, and these religious views prove to be highly hostile to the religious opinions and rights of others. Hence it is necessary the religious views of candidates should be known by the people. None but christian men should govern a christian people. A manis responsible to God for the exercise of his civil rights,—especially that of choosing his own rulers. He cannot without sin elect or vote for a man who will trifle with all that he holds saered on the floor of the Assembly, or oppose by vote the enjoyment of his just rights, in a question affecting the moral weliare of lig country.

‘* These questions are now published, that the people may discuss them at their leisure, before the coming election. Let them beware of being deceived or hoodwinked. They all know that candidates, in seeking for votes, appear exceedingly, if not excessively kind, obliging, agreeable,—all that can win confidence ox inspire affection. But let the men of P. E. Island be firm, and look beyond the outside ; let them insist sternly on the distinct acknowledgment of the principles which candidates hold; and if ashamed or unwilling to de- clare that they are sound and true Protestants,—that they disown and condemn as injurious the aggressions of Popery,— that they will resist all support to Romish seminaries under denominational control,—and that they will support our Free Schools and our Bible in all our institutions of learning, let them receive no support. The Protestant that would vote for suck men would be guilty not only of egregious folly, but of great sin,—for he sends to adyoeate.his cause not a friend, but an enemy—not an advocate for truth and right, but a mere time-serving politician, who seeks his own, not his country’s good, no matter what may be his pretensions. Our space to-day precludes anything further, The whole subject will receive our deliberate consideration.”’

We have mach pleasure in transmitting to our columns, at the request of an esteemed correspondent, the following in- stance of heroism out of the many which distinguished, on the part of British soldiers, the recent military operations in India, The gallant Captain, so favourably noticed, is a brother of T. A. Montgomery, Esq., Surveyor of Shipping for this Island, who lately left our shores on a visit to his friends in Ireland :—

Among the many acts of determined courage and bravery which distinguished the present campaign in India, few are more deserving of record than the following, both on account of the great personal bravery exhibited, and the good results which have been obtained :—

Shikarpore, that the native artillery were about to mutiny ;

‘On the night of the 23d of October, private information was obtained by Captain Montgomery, I4th Bombay Infantry, and who was at the time acting as Lieutenant of Police at

whether or not the remainder of the troops in Shikapore re- mained faithful he could not discover, so that he was obliged to act without further help thaa he could reckon pn from the small body of police under his own immediate charge. With} these he succeeded in gaining the roofs of some sheds which | commanded the barracks square, but night was so intensely dark that nothing was visible, and after remaining in this

ment, not so much with the view of discussing the principles of the Bills, whic! they evidently do not understand, as to spread misrepresentation regarding the general conduct of the Government, and to secure something in addition to their political stock in trade as food for grumbling, to be freely used preparatory toa general electicn, which they seem to think will immediately take place. With reference to the Bills mention- ed, we can assure those of our fellow-colonists who are likely to be set upon as dupes to the designing knayes in opposition, that they give themselyes very unnecessary trouble to attend meetings and go through the form of petitioning the Legislature against any such measures, since it is not the intention of the Government tore-introduce them. It has long since been evident that the public mind is not prepared for the establishment of corporate institutiens, nor even for so simple and so necessary a thing.as a Board of Works; and the Government have too much regard for public opinion to force such institutions on the country. They were intended to increase the power and prosperity of the people, by giving them the management of their own local affuirs ; but as they prefer to have those affairs managed by the general Government, the latter have no un- willingness tc continue to be the depositories of such trust. With regard to an election, so much talked of by our op- ponents, we advise them not to work themselves up into a fever about it. The House, we think, will be allowed to die a natural death ; and when the dissolution shall take place, the melody of the feathered songsters and the odor of the new-grown hay will add to the delights of our electioneering excursions, for the result of which we have no misgivings.

Tus Ariantic Montuty for February has been received and fully equals either of its predecessors. For the quantity and quality of original articles we know none of its cis-atlantic cotemporaries that can be justly compared with it. We have with pleasure transferred to our columns the ballad of ‘* The Relief of Lucknow,’’ embalming in true ballad verse the beautiful incident of Jessie Brown, the corpural’s wife, whose name will henceforth be wu household word, wherever the assomiations of home are mentioned.

Gotv Discovertes In New Bronswick.—Quite a sen- sation has been created among our citizens, during the past few days, in consequence of the reported discovery of gold in Fairy Stream, above South Bay, a few miles from Carle- ton. Numbers have gone out to search for the precious metal, and it is said that small quantities of the real dust and a few little nuggets have beea found. Whether the precious metal is there in sufficient quantities to reward the searchers, remains to be seen.— New Brunswicker.

Lord Napier gave a fete on Monday last, in Washington, in honour of the marriage of the Princess Royal, that was the most brilliant spectacle ever witnessed here. About 500 persons were present. The whole diplomatic corps ia court costume were in attendance. A body of officers of the Uuited States Army and Navy were also there, with Gen. Scott at their head in full uniform.

The British Consuls at New York, Philadelphia, Bualti- more aud other places, atieuded, and many distinguished strangers, specially invited, from distant cities. There was the richest display of female toilets vet seen in Washington, several of them having cost thousands of dollars.

TROTTING RACES.

The Winter Trotting Races, under the management of the Prince Edward Island Jockey Club, took place on Thursday, the 4th inst. The course was judiciously laid off by the Stewards and the Committee of Management, and the novelty of the arrangement reflects great credit upon the projectors. A circular course of one mile was bushed upon the ice, im- mediately opposite Government House. The first race was for five pounds, given by the Jockey Club, four miles, which was won easily by Mr. Clark’s bay horse Tom; Mr. Douglas’s grey horse Rambler coming in second. The following started :—Mr. McEwen’s black horse Summerside ; Mr. Melnnis’s bay horse Menchikoff; Mr. McLeod’s chesnut mare Speed; Mr. Bagnall’s black mare Jess.

Seconp Race.—Fifty shillings given by the Jockey Club, three miles, was won by Mr. Rodd’s grey horse Terry the Fiddler ; Mr. McEwen’s black horse Summerside coming in second. The following started :—Mr. W. Swabey’s bay mare Cripple Sally ; Mr. J. Coles’s black horse Hero; Mr. Crabb’s chesnut horse Silva; Mr. Mctnnis’s bay mare Jenny Nettle; Mr. Gates’s bay mare Nelly; Mr. MeMillan’s grey horse Farmer.

Tup Race.—A bridle given by a gentleman of the Com-

same time, he thoroughly appreciated the relative power and | exposed situation forseveral hours, he began to think that his

importance of the various races and provinces of which the Empire is composed. Whether the question was an Anglo- French alliance, or an Austrian occupation, or a Russian interference in Moldo-Wallachia, or the intrigues of a Ser- vian Pretender, Redschid Pasha, in power or out of power, was the ablest man to advise the Porte, and in one way or another he generally contrived to make his voice heard. In foreign society we hear of nothing but Redschid Pasha’s subserviency to the British Ambassador. In a day or two we shall have speculations in every journal of France and Germany as to what will be the result to Knglish influence of the Grand Vizier’s death. People have talked as if Redschid were the mere creature of Lord Stratford de Red- eliffe, placed in office by the Ambassador to do his bidding. Nothing can be further from the truth. Redschid Pasha, a man distinguished by acuteness and tenacity of purpose, was not likely to be the mere creature of any oue. The British Ambassador and he were usually in alliance’simply because they had common views of policy. Redschid Pasha was European in bis Opinions, habits, and tastes. He knew several Kuropean languages ; he kept no harem, and was “ the | husband of one wife.”

THE NEW POLI@ICO-RELIGIOUS CATECHISM. |

We made a few observations in our last paper on a series of| questions, which appeared in a previous No. of the Protector, | to be put. to candidates for seats in the House of Assembly at the next general election, and those questions were prepared, | as we were informed, by a mysterious and, to the public, unknown body styled ‘* the Protestant Combination.’? Many of our readers—who have no taste for patronizing the stupid bigotry with which the columns of the Sanctified Press over- flows, and are therefore seldom disgusted by its perasal—have expressed a desire to see the particular questions referred to, intimating their astonishment that bigotry and intolerance | could be carried to such a length in this enlightened com- | munity as the new Politico-Religious Catechism would seem to indicate, judging of its character through the light of our comments. We have no hesitation in meeting the wishes of our friends by giving them an opportunity of judging for

themselves of the questions to be put to Parliamentary Can-

'information miust have been, for the present at all events, ‘inaccurate, when he heard the men slowly and cautiously | bringing out the guns. He now only waited until he could | know positively when the greatest numbers were congregated, for it was stilY too dark to see, when by their own lights the | Golundauze were seen moving off with the guns. Captain | Montgomery's small party immediately fired a volley into them, which killed three and wounded several, and then

rapidly descending from their position, attacked the rebels in the barrack square—the mutineers opened fire on them with | grape, but so rapid, so unexpected, and so determined was Captain Montgomery’s attack on them, that ignorant of the very small force which had surprised them they fled, not, however, without several being cut down, and some prisoners being made. In Captain Montgomery’s party there was no life lost, and the number wounded was but trivial. He himself

escaped without injury. As soon asa sufficient force could be

colleeted, he again started in pursuit of the fugitives, but they | had gone too far; a detachment of the Ist Fusileers had, | however, arrived at Sukkur on the 22d, so that it is more

than probable they were intercepted. Perfect order has been

restored to the district, and a feeling of ecnfidence which did not exist for some time previous. It is most gratifying also} to have to relate that the loeal government were not slow in | showing their appreciation of Captain Montgomery’s services

—he was almost immediately appointed Superintendant of Police at Ahmednugger.”’

FIRES AGAIN.

Two other fires occurred in this city during the past week. The first broke out between 12 and 1 o’clock on Thursday morning in the distillery of Mr. James Coles, jun., at the eastern extremity of Kert Street. Assistance was promptly rendered by the Fire Companies and other inhabitants, and the conflagration was subdued in time to save the building,

though it received considerable injury. It was insured im the office of the Mutual Insurance Company.

The second fire occurred at the western end of the city, at a late hour on Thursday night, in a small unoccupied house, owned by & person named Neill, a Rigger, and we understand it was destroyed. It is stated that it was only reeently insured, and that there are some circumstances connected | with the fire which warrant the suspicion that it was the

work of an incendiary.

PUBLIC MEETING AT WEST RIVER.

According to previous announcement,a public meeting of the Electors of Townships Nos. 65 and 31, was held on Tuesday evening last, in the School house at Bryan’s Cross, West River Road, for the purpose of |adopting measures for the extension of the wharf at McPhee’s Point. The most eligible site for said wharf having been decided upon, anda right of way thereto agreed to, a subscription list was entered into, and a handsome sum realized for the erection of said wharf,

The Hon. R. Mooney-and W. McGill, Esquire, representatives of the

District were present, each of whom severally addressed the meeting, |

and very ably explained to their constituents—some 200 .0f whom were

present—the leading measures which they had advocated in the |

Assembly, and the politieal principles generally advocated by the Liberaf party. Mr. A. McNeill, was then cailed upon to address the meeting, who briefly appealed to his audience on behalf of those parliamentary reforms so essential to the well-being of this Colony. He was followed by his honor tue Colonial Secretary, who addressed the meeting at considerable length and with great effect. Hlis Honor glanced at the ruany struggles endured by the LibBral party of this Coleny in securing

| confidence in the present monagement of the local affairs of the Colony. _A resolution was then put and adopted disapproving of the Bill being | introduced the ensuing sessior, anda vote of thanks awarded to Mr. | Coles for his kindness in attending to explain its principles. Mr. Coles,

in ‘esponling, wished the meeting to state if there was an\ matter cone nected with the administration of the Government with which they were not satisfied. The meeting, with one exception, expressed its entire approbation. Mr. McKinnon having vacated the chair, Mr. Ware wan called thereto, when a yote of thanks was given the former for the abie manner in which he conducted the meeting. Thanks were also awarded to Messrs. Laird and McGill. The meeting then commenced a discus sion of many points connected with the public schools.—Com,
