A year and a half have rolled away ; and the Darry ExaMinek still lives. Indeed it may now be truly said that the | Damy Examiner is one of the ‘‘ institu- | tions” of the Province. An appetite for a daily paper has been

Throughout the winter we intend to sup-
of all the notable events which shall tran- spire throughout the world in this great crisis of its history.
Through the Datty Examiner the people of the Island shall—-from day to day—and, independently of the Northern Light or Muttart and Irving—be informed of what is transpiring in Afghanistan, in Russia, in Germany, in the neighboring Republic, and most important of all—in the mother eountry.
We shall, if possible, send a special cor- respondent to report for the Darry Examt- NER the Parliamentary proceedings at Ottawa, with special reference to those which most directly and most deeply inter- est the people of this Island.
The local news shall be given through the Dauy ExamrvNer promptly,‘truly and as ful! as possible.
For the large means required to carry out this work we look to the people whose wants the Dairy Examrxer will supply, and whose varied interests we shall assidu- ously endeavor to promote.
The original subscribers of the DatLy EXAMINER will, in the course of a few days, be called upon for a renewal of their favors.
The beginning of another term is a good time to subscribe ; and persons who have not hitherto taken the Darty ExaMINER would do well) to subscribe now.
In connection with the Dairy Examiner the Weexty Examiner will be issued, at the unprecedentedly low subscription price of ONE DOLLAR a year—payment to be made in advance.

As one of these arguments, it is stated that ‘Lhis

EXAMINER, a daily telegrarn containing news | weigher of all products, and generally is the
caretaker anil manager of the market. And surely this city has been fortunate in the man whom the Government bequeathed to it when it became {ncorporated. A more pains- taking end obliging otticial could not be found. We are now as a city something over 23 years old; and I imagine he has faithfully dis- charged the duties of his office some twenty- eight years. Since the city became incorpor- ated he has drawu not the large sum of three hundred and twenty-four dollars a year— which ineludes the services of his son as his assistant; and I think it will be admitted without cavil, a more obliging and painstaking pair of officials cannot be found. 1 do not write this on their behalf, but in the interests of the public, and with the view of drawing public attention to the absurdity of attempting to conduct the business of the Charlottetown Market without a Market Clerk, even should he not be required te collect the tolls. I should also like to be informed if the tolls to be offered to competition ure to be only the tolls collected in the Market Building and grounds surrounding, known as the Market place, or the whole city, which, under a re- cent Jaw, is the City Market; because I have reason to believe that no tolls have been col- lected from those who traverse’ the streets vending their products, but only from those who vend them in the Market House and its enclosures. The party who tenders ought, as well as the public, to know if all parties traversing our streets,and who may halt at Messrs. Duncan, Connolly or Peakes, or any other warehouse, and then discharge,are to be ecmpelled to pay tolls which have not hitherto been paid, and which, | think, ought to have been done. These parties helped to cut up the streets; and, surely, the state they are in at this mo- ment would, at once, justify all in saying that all who contribute te cut up the streets and put them in the state they are in, ought to contribute towards improving them. For, surely, the streets cannot be kept in order out of the taxes of the householders.
In connection with the market, 1 notice, with pleasure, that the crowd in the centre is likely to be relieved, by the removal of the flour and meal to the south end under the Bell Tower. It has been a mystery to many why some use was not since made of this space. The market Committee, under Mayor Des- Brisay, some time since, sold a lease of that. part of the market. After he went out, his successor did not follow the matter up, and that space has been allow- ed to remain a waste.
I should be glad to sve the Weigh Scales yield a larger revenue. But I imagine that is not possible just now, unless the City Council pass a law which would ¢ompel parties send- ing to weigh at the City Scales. While the City Council charge for a license from others for weighing, this would not be thought right.
But there is nothing to prevent the Council. making the license fee much larger, and thus compensate
the citizens for the large amount annually ex- pended in keeping in order the streets in the vicinity of the scales, for which the owners | pay the city the enormous sum of $16 a4 year,
While on this question, I sheuld like to know why the scales at Pownal Wharf are not worked, and indeed the wharf itself—and thus add to the revenue of the city. For if the scales on Lord’s Wharf yield a revenue of $4,000 a year, Why should not the scales on Pownal Wharf be made to yield the city as much’? There is some screw loose yet, some- where.
it is, however, pleasing to see that the encroachment at Love’s corner, on the corner of Kent and Queen Streets, which has oceupied the attention of all former Mayors, has, at last, been settled by Mayor Dawson— I hope successfully. { do hope that he will have influence enough to have passed through the Legislature, at the vext session, a law which will enable the city to draw a revenue from all encroachments on the _ streets, when the interests of the public are not affect- ed by this being done. By this means the en- croachment at the head of the Steamboat Wharf, which, while it does not inconvenience the public generally, is of great imnportance to the Steamboat Company and all who have oc- casion to use that wharf, and which, no doubt, the Company would be quite willing to pay for, if secured to them by lease.

what are Bank of England Notes.
The following interesting and useful ob- servations on the manufacture of Bank of
i . ‘England Notes are compiled from the
journals [ron and the Newcastle Chronicle,
and sent to us bya freqnent correspondent :
According to Iron, paper like that used by the Bank of England for notes cannot be ordered at the wills. Since the exist- ence of the Bank of England the paper for its notes has been made by the Postal family, whose ancestor came over from Bordeaux in a barrel after the revocation of
he Ediet of Nantes, bringing with him the art of making fine paper, which, like those of silk-weaving and of dyeing scarclet, was up to that time unknown in England. Since 1719 the paper has been made at the same mill at Laverstoke, in the picturesque valley of the Sest, in Hampshire, which William Cobbet denounced as the founda- tion of England’s ‘‘fictitious prosperity.” Except by burglary, against which precau- tions are taken, it is absolutely impossible to obtain a serap of the beautifully water marked paper produced here. Every piece of paper is registered before it is removed from the from frame, an account is kept by a lock dial, and every damaged note 1s ac- counted for before being ground up again into pulp. ‘The paper may be distinguished by : 1—Its peculiar white color; 2—Its thinness and transparency, preventing any of the printed part of the note being washed out by turpentine, or removed by the knife without making a hole ; 3—Its character- istic feel, crisp and tough, by the touch of which can be distinguished true from false notes; 4—Its wire mark or water mark pro- duced in the paper in a state of pulp (the mark is stamped on counterfeit paper after it is made.) In the water marking the de- vice water-mark was formerly produced by an infinite number of wires stitched and sewn together, now it is engraved ina steel-faced die, which is afterwards hard- ened, and is then used as a punch to stamp the pattern out of plates of sheet brass. (In a pair of five pound notes, prepared by the old process, there were 8 curved bor- ders, 32 figures, 168 large waves, and 240 letters, separately secured by 1,056 wires, 7,584 twists, and the same repetition where the stout wires were introduced to support the under surface.) In this mark the letters and figures are shaded, which produces artistic effect and increases the difficulty of forgery ; 5—The three deck edges of the bank notes are made in pulp; 6—The strength of the bank note paper 1s in being made eutirely from new linen and cotton pieces; when unsized a bank note will support 36lbs.: when sized it will lift 56 Ibs. The notes are electro printed from electrotypes.
New Enterprise in England.
Notwithstanding the uncertain condition of the business outlook in finance and trade, the number of new enterprises started in England is perfectly surprising. The In- eestors Guardian publishes the followin list of companies organized and registered in one week, just closed : British Trading, capitol £3,000, in £1 shares; Cumbrian Manure,, capital £10,000, in £10 shares; Devas, Routledge & Co. (Warehousemen), capital £200,000, in £10 shares; Engine and Boiler Insurance, capital £250,000, in £10 shares; Imperial Brazilian, Natal and | Nova Cruz Railway, capital £500,000, in £10 shares; Leeds Mutual Supply Associa- tion, capital 6,000/, in 21 shares; Leeds Subscription Library, capital 500/, in 1/ shares; National Electric Light, capital 500,0001, in. 101 shares; Toxteth Brewery, capital 5,000/, in 5! shares; Windermere Hydropathic, capital 15,000, in 10/ shares; Works Construction, capital 50,0001 in 10/ shares. Thus, it will be seen, new busi- n@ss operations are begun involving upwards of sixteen hundred thousand pounds ster- ling, within six days—a fact that speaks volumes for the commercial Briton. No rumors of disaster and no actual failure of others appear to shake his confidence, And this is woll. ‘The folly of crying for spilled milk and the wisdom of trying again, long ago passed into proverbs.

The Demccrats.
The Democrats seem to be sure of attain- ing to power, the recent elections having in the main resulted favorably. An estimate of the next House of Representatives just made at Washington, makes it stand almost as follows: 148 Democrats, 153 Republi- cans, and 12 Greenbackers, giving the Democrats a clear majority of three over all. It is said that most of the Greenback- ers will vote with the Democrats, and the real and available Democratic majority will probably exceed 20. The Democrats gained quite a victory in the municipal election in Boston on Tuesday. The mayor, nine of the twelve aldermen, the street commis- sioner and all of the school committees are Democrats, while the Common Council stands 39 Democratics to 33 Republicans.
