I I Tr. ‘ Lissasr. Orrsa.—-A publisher in the United States commissioned M. Thomas of Paris, to make an ofl'er to M. Masaini‘for the purchase of a work to be entitled “Memoirs of Revolutionar Eu- rope from 18:!) to the Present ime,” which, it is understood, M. Muzzini is now composing. The terms olfered are $1100 per volume of 400 pages, Svo. to be paid on the completion of each volume, with four or cent. interest in the meantime. . azzini will be requested to state beforehand the number of volumes in which his work will appear, and the periods at which they will be ready. . homes is oing to London imme iately upon this usiucss.

The Washington correspondent of tits New York Times, says :—“ The Committee on Foreign Relations of the House, it is understood, have agreed to report unanimously a resolution in favor of the interposition of the United States as mediator between the Allied Powers and Russia, similar to that submitted by Mr. Clingman."

The St. Paul Daily Times sxultingly tells its readers, that its first bridge across the Mississippi will c wire Suspension Bridge at St. Anthony. Eight cables, containing about 1000 strands of wire, have been thrown over the stream, and in a _'mc crossing w’ be possible. This structure will be put up at a cost of sixty thousand dollars, and may well be regarded as a great achievement for a territory not yet ten years old.

Hollowo ‘s Pills for Dsbilitutcd Constitution, Disordendvliver i'ndr'ge.rli'on.—The wonderful elficacy of this medicine, and the good ellocll it has produced on patients suffering from diseases of the stomach, liver complaints, bile and indigestion, would appear incredible, if it were not daily eon- firmed by proofs of the curse eliected by em. The exhilarating pro rties of these invaluable Pills entirely banish al nervousness from the sys- tem, siren then the tone of the stomach, thereby promoting digestion; persons snlicring from dropsy should use Holloway’a Pills, as they are the most safe and certain remedy ever known for that dreadful malady.

EASZARIPS GAZETTE. Wednesday, January 81, 1865.

We have heard that it is the intention of seine of the members of the Provincial Parlia- ment. to introduce a Bill into one or other of the Houses during the present Session, for the Incorporation of Charlottetown. and that it is likely to and be assented to. As this is a matter w ioh concerns all who reside in town. there should be, we think, as much publicity aspossible given to it. “ re no counsel is, the people fall, but in the multitude of Counsellors, there is safety,” saith Solomon, and although there are various Acts of the Assemblies of the sister Colonies that might be safel taken as models ; still, whichever might be ted, ought and must be altered so as to meet the peculiar requirements of the co to which it is to be adapted. What might be very ri ht and proper for Halifax, Quebec, Montrca, or Hamilton, may not be exactly so for Charlottetown. It is besides, of the at- est importance, that a measure which wil have a tendency to efect so great a change—-for the better, we do not for a moment doubt-should not have the appearance of being concocted in secret, hastily seedinto a Law without its provisions having undergone a thorough scrutiny by those who are to be bound by them. Above all thin , it must not be a party mea- sure, either o the one side or the other, but one in which all should join, laying aside-—for the pit of rendering the measure as perfect as possi lc—aIi party feeling, and uniting and combining ta.Ient and information, reduce a Bill of Incorporation that will reu er discus- sion in the Assembly, as little needful as pos- sible. Local Acts should be well considered by the parties seeking them, before being sub- mitted to either branch of the Legislature. All that the Provincial Parliament need to be satisfied about is, that the measure is perfectly in accordance with constitutional principles, and that the pro sed Act, which gives certain ri hts and privi egos to the intended munici- pality, does not encroach upon, or infringe the rights of others, individually or collectively. There is suficient time to call a meeting of towns-people, to which the intended Act might be submitted. and by which if need were, a Committee might be a pointed to co-opcr_ate with those by hem t e labor of expediting the Bill throu both branches, has n un- dertaken. c threw out these hints at ran- dom, for thou h we have heard from several that suchaBi is to be introduced, we have yet to learn by whom, and on what principle, or after what model.

We willingly comply with the above re- quest. What was inserted on Saturday, was solely from memory, and we are always glad to correct any iuvolunhry error, and are particu- larly well pleased to be able to present the narrative in the lscturer’s own words.

About 28 years ago, long before I knew the right object oflifc, or recognised the virtue of Temperance, wason a voyage to the South Seas; we were to visit Pitcairu’s Island. I had heard of the causes that had led to the peopling of tblt llttlslsland; how a few of the inutlneers of the Bounty fearing Llnisbment for their crimes sou t a refuge this secluded s t. How they induced some native Tahit us to accompany them. Alone on that Island surel so small a company, in all N persons, nigh have lived peaceably and escaped observa- tion. But no, sin was there, and unrestrained of God, it worked in them death ; by the help cfxtbe native women, they soon arrived at the snanufkcturc of a spirit from the Ti plant; they drank to excess-—they lusted-they ep- pressed and ill-treated the weaker Tahitisns —they qaarrcllsd —they fought—they commit- ted murdcr—2 died raving mad from drink, and at the end of a short time, the retribu- tirs_Jpsties of God, leaving them to the dominion of their own bruhl passions, saw theibslahle bath of all ‘but one of those wicked men.

nose, was upon it; but again a ray of light pierces the deep gloom. Adams was then the sole survivor, with the women and helpless child- ren—lic saw and sorrowed for the evii done. IIis eye fell upon a prayer book and bible, found in the chest of one of his comrades, he read them and as he read, he prayed. He now began to know the purpose of life, he gathered the children about him, he prayed and read with them daily and abliorring his sin ofdrunk- enness, he made a law that no one should make or drink fermented liquors—He was obeyed, behold the change—-that family grew u tea- totallers ha py and contented, and altiough Adnms had led before our visit to the Island, his laws were still observed with constancy and cheerfulness. When I visited them in 1830, they came on board and dined with us, but they would drink neither wino nor beer; on shore I observed the same thing—und yetl have never seena handsomer or more active race of men.—-Indeed those 60 persons then making up the population of that small Island, in their warm-hearted happy iety, were a wonder to us. Years have re log by since my visit to that Island, but ‘the remembrance of that God-favored and God-fearing family, has often had a wholesome influence upon me, and when I contrast that little Isle on the broad Pacific with the beautiful Island God has allotted to us in this Northernclime : I see that nothing but drunkenness keeps us back from making this Island as it should be

But at present I uinlully remember, that Prince Edward Islan has not been persuaded to cast oil‘ the vile habit of slavery to drink, and whilst this vice is so common amongst us, we cannot be respected abroad, or happy and united at home.
