The Governor-General had cansed a ct ty be prepared, opening up the asting teade of Ludi to the sips of all nations, und thus extending -into India free trade in ns fullest acceptation. Sir H.

There had been some fighting ia the Nezim’s dominions, with the report of joss of life. It was under-

The foregoing is an outline of the arrangement which the

Porte-and the allied imperial powers have |

come to im the present question. The anbassaders of France and England have approved the terms of the setile- ment, with, however, certain restrictions as regards the expulsion of persons who may be under the protection of either of their respective. gaveruinents.

‘The correspondent of the Morning Herald, writing on the same day as the Times’ correspondent, asserts that. the

| Emperor of Russia has refused to accept

'the Sultan’s guarantee for the con- duct of the Poles, and that the Turkish Ministers have resolved only to

| resume negotiations on the footing pre- viously accepted by M. M. Titoff and

Sturmer. If this information were Cor-

' rect, the matter would be as far as ever

from being settled ; but the proba bility is that the statement of the Z'tmes’ corres- pondent is near the truth.

The British fleet, under the command of Sir William Parker, is stated to have left the ancorage at Besika Bay on the 16th instant, for the Masconissi Islands, at the south-westernmost entrance of the

Mytilene. ) RUSSIA.

The Globe believes it is intended to put a duty of £4 10s, upon the imports of wrought iron, and the consequence wil] probably bea large export of Russian iron to this country. ‘That great opposi- tion to this measure has been experienced from vested interest will not excite sur- prise, but if the efforts of interested parties are sufficient to procure a twelve inonths’ delay in its promulgation, and it should not have appeared as intended on the Ist of the present month, there is little doubt of its becoming Jower at some peri- od of the ensuing year.

SPAIN.

The Heraldo announces the arrival at Cadiz ofthe young Count of St. Augus- tine, son of Queen Christina and the Duke de Rianzares, of Lola Montes and her husband, .

The Pais and Heraldo state that the fact of the Queen of Spain being in an interesting position is now confirmed, and the former journal, repeating what was said a few days ago, intimates that an official announcement of her Majesty’s situation will shortly be made. The Heraldo states that the Pope was to re- tura to Rome on the 2d of January.

FRANCE.

The Assemblee Nolionale labours un- ceasingly to impress its readers with the conviction that all the misfortunes’ of France ‘are attributable to the English Government.

The Nationale says that 25,000 men of the army employed in restoring the Pope to his throne, are to remain at Rome, the Government having concluded contracts for the maintainance of that force in the pontifical dominions during the first quarter of 1850.

Forrones’ or M. Lamartine.—A French journal gives soine particulars of the estate recentiy bestowed by the sul- tanon M. de’ Lamartine. The domain lies in the immediate vicinity of Smyrna, and is nearly as jarge as the Isle of Wight, being about fifty-four miles in cireumfer- ence. It has ntherto belonged only to the crown, as we should say in England. — The soil is described as wonderfully fer- tile, like most of the land in the~neigh- | bourhood of Smyrna, as being wel! plant-

ed with oranges and olives, and as capa- | ble of every variety of cultivation. « The chateau, built forthe residence of an im- perial officer is commodions beyond the us- ual rua of Turkish houses; and under the | windows lies a fine lake of more than a | mile across, which is described as well | stocked with fish. The estate~includes | five villages, M. de Lamartine, it is | said, goes to Asia Minor in the spring, to | take possession in person of his territerial i fire i | j

THE POPE.

We continue to be amused with ru- mours of the return of the Pope to Rome, but they appear to be wholly without | foundation, Indeed, if there is any reli- ance to be placed upon the reports of the various correspondents of the London and Paris journals in Italy, there seems to be a complete, revulsion there in public opinion, At Turin the Chambers are de- finitely constituted. The Minister de- clared it his wish to observe treaties, to be friendly towards real friends, and in- dependent of every one. The bill for the ratification of the treaty of peace with Austria, signed at Milan last August. had been read, and would probably be voted. withoat discussion. Such has been the inarvellous change in the public councils, —Europem Times.

REPORT:

lowing Report to ths, their first Annual Meeting of the “Charlottetown Mutual Fire Insurance Company” —

Tie first operations of new Companies are generally of a limited nature, owing to the prejudices and distrust which fre- quently prevail in the minds ofa commu- nity against.a new Institution.

The Directors felt the importance and difficulty: of their situation, and, being sensible that small beginnings, when conducted with prudence and sound poli- cy, must ultimately tend to success, they have: ‘studiously endeavoured to com- mence and e@onduct their operations in such manner as may overcome all diffi- culties incident to a newly formed Com- pany. .

The lateness of the period at which the Act of Incorporation, was obtained, ne- cessarily caused many persons desirous to support the Institution, to protect their property, in the meantime, by effecting insurances: in other offices, and conse- quently so far prevented, to that extent, the usefulness of this Coimpany being carried into effect.

‘The Directors, however, feel satisfied that a ‘favourable beginning has been made, and are grateful to a merciful and Divine Providence that no accident of any kind has occurred, or damage by Fire sastained, within the limits of their risks.

During the few months of the existence of the Company, Forty Policies have been issued, covering property to the extent of £8230; nearly all of these have recently been renewed, and several applications for new Policies are now being entered, from some of the influential members of the community. ‘here is every reason to hope that a just sense of self interest among the. community, will induce many more ofour.fellow ‘T'fownsmen to avail themselves of the Home Protection offered them by this Company, and thus sustain within the Colony so desirable and use- ful an Institution, thereby saving the large sums hitherto paid for premiums of Insurances in other. offices, and sent out of the Island.

The Directors would beg Jeave to call the attention of the Public to the advan- tages to be derived from this Company. First: Retaining money in the Country which would be otherwise sent ‘from it. Secondly: Should the average loss be no greater for the future than it has been for the last twenty years passed in Charlottetown, the Company will be enabled, in the course ofa few years, to insure for One-third of the amount charged by other offices. Similar insti- tutions-are in operation in Canada and the United States, wherein the parties who first formed the Company are insured ata mere nominal premiun—the Funds of the Companies being considered quite suffi- cient to pay any losses that may occur.

The Accounts of the Secretary and Treasurer have been examined by Messrs. Lydiard and Macgowan, the Auditors of the Company, and found correct. These Accounts shew the Capital of the Com- pany to consist of: Warrants of Attorney, Treasury Warrants bearing interest, and Cash; to:the amount of £152 Ga. 2d,

The Company is therefore already in a position of being able to meet a loss of that extent, should such a calamity occur.

The Directors would urge on the com- munity at large to come forward at once and join the Company, and by their union and co-operation, give additional strength to the Institution, security to their dwell- ings, and contentment and happiness to their minds, were

to with great attention, and evidently ap- peared to be received with much. satisfac- tion. e

On motion of W. W. Lord, Esq., se- conded by Mr. John T. Thomas—

Resolved, That the Report be adopted and published; and that two hundred copies thereof be printed, in letter form, for genera! circulation.

Agreeably to the Act of Incorporation, the Meeting proceeded to the election, by Ballot, of Directors for the present year; when the following gentlemen were de- clared by the Chairman as duly elected :—

TO THE EDITOR OF THE EXAMINER.

Sin—Fyom your recent visit here, and from what you hav: heard elsewhere, you, no doubt, are aware of the extraor- dinary exertions resorted to by the Tories of Charlottetown to prevent your Election. These gentry were not content ia usher- ing Mr. Joseph M‘Donald on the Hus- tings, but have also incuced a Mr. John M‘Donald of Grand River to follow his exaniple, no doubt with the sole hope of swamping as many votes as they pos- sibly can, so as to enable their tory ad- herent, Mr. Desbvisay, to fvil your efforts and those of the liberal majority of the Electors of this District, who are deter- mined .to return both you and Doctor Jardine as their Legislative Representa- tives, in despite of all the chap-trap expe- dients adopted for the purpose of mullify- ing by cajolerythe votes ofall such as are vot fully aware of their cunning devices. The Liberals in this quarter have also rea- son to complain of the highly improper conduct of young Mr. Pope, the Attorney from Charlottetown. When on his recent visit to this District he then impertinently endeavoured to lessen your political re- putation and injure your Election, as far

asin him lay. How far such conduct towards one of our Staunchest and most indefatigable liberal Candidates, does accord with those principles which his father now professes, and through the sustainers of which he hopes to ohtain a seat in the Legislature, I leave impartial readers to judge. However, this young Official aspirant, Jike all others of his kind throughout the Island, with a death- like grasp would still fain to keep the reins, of Government in the hands of our tory drivers, in the hope of fingering tne Treasury strings, and riding dominant over a body of British Americans, whom they are endeavouring to entrap and mis- lead, in order to make good their former misrepresentations to the Colonial Office, namely, that the inhabitants of this Colo- ny are unworthy of enjoying British rights and privileges. § Notwithstanding al! the schemes put in practice against you, you have no reason to fear the result of the coming contest.

Liberal principles are in the ascendant throughout the world,

and itis not likely that Prince Edmard [sland is to be the last refuge (in British America at least) of Tory domination and misrule. “The Election is yours and that of your co-patriot, Dr. Jardine, in Spite of all opposition from Charlottetown, Yours, &c. .

Ir is our duty to apologise to our Sub- scribers for the delay which occurs in getting out the T'ne Examiner. This would not be the case, but that nearly the whole of our time is engrossed with the business of the approaching Election. When that shal] be over, howsoever it terminate, we trust to be not only regular in our weekly visite to our Subscribers, but to be always welcomed by them.

The Nominations of Candidates for the Towns and Districts in the Island were made on Tuesday last. We have only space to insert the names of the

‘Candidates.

QUEEN’S COUNTY.

The following Gentlemen were pro- claimed by Mr. Deputy Sheriff Biuns, at the close of the Court, at 4 o'clock.

Charlottetown and Royalty.

Hon. Edward Palmer,

Francis Longworth, Esq.

[These gentlemen were declared elected, there being no opposition. }

Mr. Lawson, as our readers are aware, was expected to contest the representa- tion of Charlottetown against one of the late Members; but it appears that on Tuesday he learned by advices from his relatives in Halifax, the property on which he intended to qualify was held in trust by one of his brothers, and lie could not therefore take the necessary oath,— Mr. Lawson had many promises of sup- port, and we have no doubt he would be elected but for this circumstance. On Tuesday there was, however, time enough to select another Candidate; but Char- lottetown never was, and we suppose ne- ver will be, remarkable for its politica! in-
