Tue Patriot is sorely exercised because some coal ashes have been utilised to level the ground adjacent to the Post Office.

Tue EXAMINER, every day, goes into nearly every respectable house in Charlottetown. It is, every day, sold indiscriminately at all bookstores, on the streets, on the railway cars, and at towns, villages, and stations through- out the length of the Island. It is not strange, therefore, that such enterprising and leading firms as those of William Dodd, Geo. Davies & Ce., Perkins & Stearns, J. B. McDonald, Owen Connolly & Co., Carvell Brothers, F. T. Newbery & Co., Beer & Goff, Beer & Sons, Robert Young, Mark Butcher, John Newson, W. W. Wellner, G. W. DeBlois, besjdes many others (too numerous to mention), have recog- nized its worth as an advertising medium, and are regular advertisers in its columns. It has been remarked that those who advertise ia the Examiner do most business; and the wonder is that even a greater number than those who at present patronize it, do not take advantage of its columns.

Since we gave publication to a paragraph, on Wednesday, relative to the investigation of charges against certain members of the Police Force, various enquiries have ten made as to the nature of the charges prefered, and various false rumors have been set afloit which, if not corrected at present, would in fature be damaging to the characters of the police. For the information of our correspon- deat ‘‘ Subscriber ” and citizens generally, we may here state that on the 24th of February, 1879, Officer Hugh MeGonnell attended the wedding of his niece, and while there got so rloriously drunk that he was unfit for duty Soak 7 o'clock p. m. till 1 o'clock a.m. On McGonnell’s return from the wedding, Ser- geant McGregor placed Officer McKinnon on his beat ard sent McGonnell home. At the in- vestigation on Tuesday, eight days pay was deducted from MecGonnell for the offence. Sergeant McGregor did not report Officer Mc Gonnell for this offense. The Sergeant was guilty of a breach of the Police Regulations too. A short time ago he attended a rafile for geese at a house opposite the station ; being away frem duty about twenty minuter. ior these two offences four teen day’s pay was deducted from his salary, Officer Peter Bradley, striving to earn an honest penny while off duty, was en- gaged by the Collector of Poll Tax to collect that tax from delinquents. He received some taxes while on police duty, and for the offence was suspended two months. Marshal Fiynn did not report Sergeant McGregor and Officer MeGonnell for their offences, and five day’s pay was deducted from his salary. These charges were preferred by O‘ficer Hennessy on Tuesday last, the day after he received notice of his dismissal. They were well krown to him at the time the regulations were broken; but up till Tuesday he kept them a secret from the Stipendiary Magistrate, and thus wrongfully stayed the punishment due such

Several Government bills were read a third time.

Mr. Cartwright rehashed his old speech at the time the tariff bill was moved, and attacked the Governor-General’s despatch ' to England.

Mr. Tilley defended the statements in the despatch and said it was Lord Lorne’s own act. His Excellency had the right to send despatches expressing favorable or un- favorable opinions, and he had approved and defended the tariff.

Messrs. Mills and Mackenzie attacked Ministers for shielding themselyes behind the Governor-General.

Sir John Macdonald made his best speech of the session. It was humorous, pithy and severe, ridiculing the Opposition objections and asking who persuaded Lord Dutierin to take the responsibility in the Riel case.

The House was moved in supply on sup- plementary estimates.

On the item of compensation te Wallace, Dr. Tupper read the Chief Engineer Flem- ing’s report recommending it. Mr. Wallace was employed eight months after the elec- tion to the late Parliament in services which could not be performed by anyone

Mackenzie objected mildly to $101,853 as the award to Boggs and Murray.

Dr. Tupper said the case was carried on solely by counsel employed by Mr. Macken- zie, without interference, and the Govern- ment had no course but the payment ef the judgment.

Supplementary estimates for 1879 and 1880 were laid on the table.

House adjourned at 1.10,
