Hilisborough Ferry We trost that something practical will result from the mee ing to be held, st Pownal Hail on Thursday night. Uo- quesiionably, Hillsborough Ferry does not wow meet the requirements of the public. The wharves aud steamers were perhaps sufficient wheu the Ferry con- tract was made. But the number of the people requiring aceommodation is ivergasiog year by year, as (on market days) the loug lines of waising vehicles prove; and as the proposed bridge is not within eur means, extended wharves “and perhaps an additional steamer to ply on market days are required In our opinion an extension of the Sonthport Whart to the channel, would go far towards meeting the requirements of the traffic. We hope to hear the questiou well dis- cussed by practical men; and we have no doubt that, notwithstauding the wis- take they made in electing politicai novices im the place of the sterling men who before represented them, the Governmeut will favorably consider acy reasonable proposition the peeple may make. The accomodation is required by the public; and party considerations will not prevent the Government from supply- ing it.

Tho first and second flats were then sold | by public auction, aod were purchased LePage and Quirk at a yeary rental of about four hav- dred dollars. Finding business would not likely be as remnuerative as anticipated, they asked the Council to relieve them of their obligations, This, the Council did. ‘The secoud flat was theu fitted up (or offices far the Mayor and City Mar- shal, aud the lower flat rematned idl¢ for vearly two years. The Council ino the meautime concluded to use it as a meat and flour market; but the millers ‘de- clined to go into it, as they preferred the body of the Market House for their Dasi- uess. Had they consented to use it, the butchers grievance would not be dreamed ot, the Patriot's article would be un- written, aud the bell tower would not briog a revenueto the city. In February, 1879, Messrs. Blake Brothers, seeing that. the fat would be suitable for their business, made application for a lease of the lower flat for a period ‘of five years at $200 per anoum. The lease: was granted, “Messrs. Binke Brothers thea fitted up the flat at a cost of over $250, aud commenced to work up a good busi- uess. After occupying the premises for nearly four years, the walis and floor com- menced to sink, and the interior became dilapidated, Messrs. Blake Brothers believed they would not be justified in expending money for further repxirs without an extension of lease. They therefore informed the council of the

As the success of the | Society is in a great measure due to the energy and perseverance of Mr. Bowers a8 President, it was regretted by the members that the Constitution was so framed as render him ineligible for office tro terms in succession. A unani- mous vote of thanks was teudered Mr. Bowers, for the manner in which he had administered the affairs of the Society during the first year of its existence. He replied in a suitable manner, thanking the members for their vote of thanks and their appreciation of his efforts to. make the Literary Union a success. He also exhorted the members to continue to cultivate that

and passeogers te and from the mainolan This idea was afterwards engrafted in the document uniting us to the reat of Dominion. In that instrument it was solemnly promised that Prince Edward Island should be placed Yo continuons communication with the railway system of the Dominion, summer and winter. What did this meas? Was it intended that, if increased facilities and methods of travel should be introduced, our people should be charged a largely iv- creased price for freight and passengers over that which obtained previous to Confederation? What did the bargain or promise meao when it suid that the Island should be placed in direet com- munication with the railway system of the Domip’on -summer aud wivter! We poxse sed the seme means avd facilities for summer _ iravel at the time of the bargain as we now enjoy. We owa:d the railway, and the same stenmers—the Sé. Lawrence and Princess of Wales—no more avd wo less rau to the mainland. No effort has been made to improve, or atigment, or expediie summer trarel, over that which we ourselves enjoyed at Con- federation. For wivter travel we were vouchsafed the Northern Light; but for the privilege of taking passage in her across the Straits, aud for receiving freight, we are now cha:ged more than double the amount charged in summer. aad # sum largely in excess of the amount for freight aad passage charged previous te the Union.

We coutend that this ia contrary to the spirit of the bargain we entered iuto with the Dominion. Our position places us at a disadvaniage, compared with the

other Provinces. The terms of voion deciare that the Island shall be placed among the favored

Provinces; aud, in so many words. promises that no outlay shall be spared to accomplish this eod. There bas been nine years of delay. Now, let the broken part—the summer part—of the bargain be carried out so far as to place @ good screw boat or boats to convey freight across the Straits, leaving the present boats for passengers. As we demonstrated a few days ago, a screw boat is absolutely needed to ply from and to this harbor in early winter and in spring.

The meetings held last winter stirred up the Steam Nuvigation Co. ; and some united action should take place this pre-- ent wivter, when the want of proper con- nection with the mainland has beeu forced

This is testimony of a high order.
