oF. & in the board. So it is wthian M. P. Ue dares to do in}

St. Stephen’s what he would be banished from ail res, evtable society for doing in the ordinary intercourses of life. This annual eraz2 about Maynooth furnishes a cage in point. The whole thing is a real insult to the country, as well as a disgrace to the great assembly in which it is perpetrated.

There is not a shred of earnestness or sincerity in the pro- |

ceeding, from first to last—it is a vast hypocrisy an] nake-

believe. It is, in the language of the ring, “a plant”—it |

is a mock duel, a sham fight, a mere playing at Parliament. it has as much real weight as a debate and division in the Union at Oxford or Cambridge. “ For this night only,” the Maynooth farce is acted by a company of amateur Senators. Ail the old women of Parliament have a clear stage, and certainly no favour in this Ecclesiazusze ; and for all practical purposes the jest might as well be played in the theatre of Bacchus as in the Chapel of St. Stephen’s.

There are, doubtless, some fanatics, both in and out of the House, who rejoice in the great Maynooth night. It is the grain of salt which keeps Parliament from total corruption —the standing protest against national *apostacy—the one oasis in the great desert of Anti-Christian infidelity. If this solitary bray satisfied Exeter Hall—did the noble animal iméelf with his annua’ feat of absurdity and folly ‘afford to let Jeshurun wax fat fora single night, and kick to his heart’s content. The medieval Feast of the Ass, if we remember rightly, was only an annual joke. All Fools’ Day comes but once a year. We can endure a satur- nalia once in the twelvemonth. We do not grudge Spooner his night—or Berkeley his night—or Muntz his night. Kean has a benefit—so has Grimaldi. But, unfortunately, the House of Commons cannot play the fvol with closed doors. The Maynooth night is very funny; but it costs money. It endangers the tranquillity of a whole kingdom —it imperils the loyalty of six millionsof men, Lt insults» and wrongs, and exasperates those who ate at present among the most peaceable, contented, prosperous, and promising sections of the community. Having but just succeeded in

he knows it himself. He cannot find a sirgle statesman to ,toempty benches, and to march through Coventry with a | tagged regiment of rank and file. Even the unfortunates | Who, true to their miserable hustings professions, and false ito their own convictions, are forced to follow him into the ‘lobby, shirk the terribe infliction of his arguments. They jgive him their votes, but not their cars. Mr, Spooner himself, on Tuesday night, bad to pour forth an indignant ‘lamentation to the deserted benches behind him and the snoring seats before him. He snatched up a chance majority ; but the majority had no faith in their own votes. Not a man who has ever held effice, or who ever can hold office, or Who aspires to hold office, will undertake the responsibility of disendowing Maynooth. Not a notable voted in the majority. Bramley-Moore and Sir Andrew Agnew, Challis and Duke Pellatt and Tite—these gentlemen can afford to! vote that the sun moves round the earth, or that it is expe- dient to abolish east winds. That eminent and severe religionist, Sir C. Napier, has of course his own private prickings of conscience, and, fresh from the study of the ischoolmen and the Tridentine Deerecs, votes with fervour

nd conviction against Liguori and Dens. But where are

israeli and Pakington ? They had too much sense to join Spooner’s awkward squad, but too little straightforwardness ,and honourable feeling to vote aceording to their convictions, and against -hypoerisy and wrong.

the ratifications are interchanged before honorable members may assume the existence of a treaty of peace. But trade could not stop so long and the allied powers haye been obliged to withdraw their blockades, cancel their restrictive procla- mations, and declare that intercourse with our late antagonist is once more safe and free.

It is much for Western Europe to be thus placed again in amicable relationship with an empire embracing a population of sixty-seven millions, and presenting an almost immeasurable area of the most productive soil in the world. Still more is it important to England, whose life-blood is commerce, to resume her intercourse with so many million customers belonging to a race by nature not less enterprising and industrious than her own, or to have at her command the productions of a domain comprising every range of climate between the temperate zones, and extending from the Vistula to the remote regions of Central Asia.’’

The Russian official journal published at Brussels, the Nord, contains the following letter from St. Petersburg, dated the 3d of April :—

The conclusion of peace has given animation to business, but it appears that some miscalculations as to the effect of that

| great event have been made.’ A telegraphic despateh from

London has been received announcing that the prices of Russian produce had fallen in the London market, the English merchants doubtless fancying that in consequence of the war our warehouses are overstocked with produce, which the holders will be disposed to sell at half-price. In this calculation they are likely tobe much mistaken. In the first place, our produce has not been lying in our warehouses, as the accounts of the railways and the neutral ports can well testify, and the holders of what remains are in no way disposed to sell unless at a fair price. The Russian merchants have not in any respect been taken by surprise ; they had for sometime past foreseen what would oceur, and had not in consequence pressed sales, while the foreign purchasers have held back, hoping that concessions would eventually be made. The signature of peace has decided the matter in favour of the Russians. As soon a8 the signature was knowu in London the English houses, in order to kill two birds with one stone, lowered*the price of Russian produce which they had on hand, and at the same time sent orders to St. Petersburg for purchases. The decline, therefore, had no other obfect than to get rid of stock which had been held for some time atexorbitant prices, and whieh it was hoped, thanks to the electric telegraph, could be replaced at former rates. A mistake is also made ia regard to corn, if it be imagined that a large quantity can be delivered immediately. As far as gards the Baltic ports, only what is now there, which is not very cohsiderable, can be available, and orders sent into the interior cannot be executed until near the end of the summer from wantof conveyance. The southern ports may probably furnish more, but Lam informed, on good authority, that the

ITALY. We hear of presents made by the Sultan to the King of Sardinia, and of the good understanding subsisting between

the two Governments; but harmony has less chance of being , 7 Ss

L established in the same degree between Sardinia and Austria,

if we may judge by the oceupation by Austrian troops of positions in the Duchy of Parma, contiguous to the Pidd- montese frontier. Pontremoli, a place of considerable im- portance, in particular, is one of those to which the imperial troops are adyauacing, at the request, it is added, of the Duchess of Parma. It is concluded that this is done in the evident intention of putting a check on Sardinia, which is supposed to entertain views on the Duchy of Parma, its froutier neighbour. In that case, the Duchess would be compensated by the Modenese States, the latter prince re- ceiving pecuniary iademnity; but Austria is reported to keep in the background some right ef reversion to Parma, which she would then bring forward. The importance of the news come to hand fiom those quarters is perhaps exagyerated, but it has revived reminiscences, and probably presages fresh difficulties.

We understand that neither England nor Franee is dis- posed to zolerate apy menace against S.rdinia on the part of Austria. We rejoice to hear that, in the event of any hestile demonstration by Austria on the frontiers of Parma, a fleet of English and French men-of-war will probably immedi- ately appear in the Gulf of Spezzio. The moral effect of sych a demonstration would seriously compromise the safety of the Austrian domination,

4 2ece RESULTS OF THE PEACE.

Since the declaration of peace, the trade between Great | Britain and Russia is resuming its wonted channels, and a more | ‘than usual degree of activity is manifested by the merchants | ' of both countries to re-open those peaceful relations which had | broken off by the war. A London journal, in noticing the! eagerness manifested for the renewal of commercial transac: | | tions, Says : |

«The boom of the cannon announcing the signature of the’ ' preliminaries of peace in Paris had not ceased to echo along

the shores of the Baxtie: when the traders of Odessa re-opened | _ their warchouses, and invited customers for enormous cargoes ‘of grain. Rapid messages at the same time traversed the |

7 . . «1 = | frontiers the products of those harvests which had remained | undoing the wrong of centuries—having at length, with in-| I

is a companion screw steamer to the Abundance. Both lying at the head of the harbor, and both being commissariat vessels, the former crushed the wheat, and the latter baked the bread. Between them they can turn out 18,000 lbs. of bread, daily, or 6600 3-lb. loaves. Among the company present at this dance,

which numbered about eighty, I noticed Lady Frederick |

Fitzroy, Mrs. White, Mr. Mrs. and Miss Drake, Mr. and Mrs. Brine, Major De Moleyns, Cap. Martin, Mr. and Mrs? Marzelli, Captain and Mrs, Handyside, &e¢. The 82d band was in atten- dance. At twelve o’clock the company sat down to a first-rate supper on the upper deck, which was beautifully arranged for the purpose. After the health of the Queen had becn given, with all the honors, that of the Emperor, Empress, and the Iinperial heir followed, and was duly responded to by Col. Louis, 97th Regiment. Commissary-General-in-Chicf, Mr. Brake, C. B., proposed Mr. and Mr. Comyn’s health ia a most happy speech.

MOUSE OF ASSEMBLY.

Sarurpay, March 29, INCREASE OF REPRESENTATION AND AMEND. MENT OF THE ELECTLON LAWs, ( Concluded.)

ifon. Mr, WHELAN said that a personal attack had been made upon him by an hon, member from Queen’s Count y (Mr. Laird) which he felt it his duty to notice. In bringing forward this measure, he had been told that he was influenced by private and selfish motives—that its main object was to secure his election by altering his own electoral district. Now this accusition was made in utter ignorance of the facts, and had nota particle of truth to rest upon. He had been about ten years in the House of Assembly, during which time he had run many elections, and was never once defeated, If the hon. member who made the attack could say as much for himself, he might speculate with some degree of assuranea regarding the elections of others. To show that he had no personal interest in tie proposed change in the Election Law, he contemplated detaching from his present district one of the best Townships it includes, viz. Lot Fifty five, where he had been always generously and almost unanimously supported —a township thickly settled, where he had many esteemed private as well as political frieuds, and whose support, in every contest, he was morally certain of obtaining. He did most sincerely regret that a necessity existed for detaching Lot 55 from the present Second District of King’s County ; but jit would be impossible to make the fourth district, which the new arrangement would require, without adding Lot 55 to that which is commonly called the Murray Harbour Dis- trict, and then splitting that district in two. " No other con« sideration would induce him to sanction the alteration, and even as it was, he felt that his friends on Lot 55 would be apt to complain of bis transferring them over to another district ; but he trusted that when the whole facts of the case were brought to their knowledge, they would not condewn the con- duct of one who would certainly regret the s@paration much more acutely than they themselves euld.° Wik regurd to the St. Peter’s portion of the district, he (Mr. W.) proposed to leave that as it was under the old Jaw; so that it might be easily seen that i.stead of gaining by the now arrangement, he would be losing a very large large number of his best supporters. There was some novelty, if no ingenuity, about the objections raised by the hen. member for Charlottetown (Mr. Palmer) to the proposed Measure. He suid it ought to have originated with the Government, but they being afraid to venture into deep water, did not like to incur the risk of bringing it forward ; yet, the hon. member contended, it should be con- 'sdered a Government measure, because it was brought in by @ person who reevives “ a large salary ” from the Govern- ment, Members on the other side were evidently very much distressed about his (Mr. W.’s) salary, as they were pleased to call it, when in fact there was no salary at all ; he received, like any other person doing work for the Government, payment for any specific services that might be rendered ; and because the services were numerous, expensive and laborious, the annual cost of them amounting to a considerable sum of money, the gentlemen in the opposition seemed to consider it necessary to remind the House of the fact at | least once every day-during the Session, _As to the Govern- ment being afraid to venture “into deep water"=that-is, afraid to bring forward this measure as a Cabinet question from fear of not being sustained, that was all nonsense. It would certainly be more likely to secure a majority in its favour then than it ecu'd when introduced as an open question ; and he (Mr. W.) would certainly not have brought it forward unless he knew there was a majority in its favor. Of course he was prepared for the opposition of the hon. member for Charlottetown. It would be a miracle if he did not oppose an extension of the people’s liberties in the way proposed, when he tried, a few years ago, under Sir Donald Campbell, to distroy them altogether by the notorious Franchise Bil] sent secretly to the British Parliament. That hon. member had reminded the House of the proportion of representation to population in Great Britain and Ireland, and also in Massachusetts, and other parts of the American Union, in order to ‘show that the people of this Island were more fully represented than their fellow subjects in Great Britain end Ireland, or their ne‘gibours in the States, But the comparison was absurd and untenable so far as the British Islands are concerned, because there they have a House of Commons of 650 members, and could not well increase their number—there a very high property qualifi- cation is required of the representative ; and in short, the circumstanees of an old couutry like Great Britain are so vastly different from what they are in an infant Colony, that comparisons, aiways said to be odious, become particularly so

exist as a standing menace to Protestantism, and it must be| Mr. and Mrs. Comyn. It likewise so happens that Mr. Comyn | wien instituted in reference to them. Why, if we were to

> \ j

assimilate our representation to that of Great Britain and Ireland, instead of 24 members, we would not have two in the Assembly of this Colony. And as for Massachusetts, which was also cited for their edification, there are some dis- tricts in this Island, such as the first and second districts of Queen’s County, where there is a far greater number of inhabitants represented than can be fcund in any of the Massachusetts constituencies. That State, according to the hon. member, has one representative to every 3,000 inhabi- tants. Well, the first and second distiicts of Queen’s County have over 13,900 each, while only two members are returned ; | thus shewing that Massachusetts, an old, wealthy and popu- ‘lous State, has only about half the amount of population ithat we have. The third district of Queen’s County has also a larger population to each representative than that assigned to Massachusetts; so the comparison, with regard to that State, is entirely against the argument of the lon. menber, Viewing the mutter in all its bearings, there could be no doubt that an increase of members was necessary. The population, wealth and resources of the country were greatly on the increase; and a House of thirty members could never be said to be too Jarge: no Colony, he believed, had Jess; and it was obvious that with less no Governmeut could be successfully conducted.

Hon. Mr. LONGWORTH moved to postpone the measure till that day six months. The hon. member, Mr. Whelan, had said the Bill would not come into operation for two years. Why not say at once, it is the law of the land, and let a dissolution take place? As to the argument about population, if that principle were adopted, Queen's County would be entitled to as many representatives as the other two Counties together. What Bills had the Govern- ment brought down? A magistrate’s manual, _ All the hon. member cared for was £30 or £40 for printing. He
