News of the Week.

Tus Steamer Rose, which should have arrived here on Sunday last, did not make her appearance until Wednesday last— her delay having been occasioned by the boisterous weather which prevailed for two or three days previous. The Rose made another trip to Pictou early on Thursday morning, and has since return- ed, but brought no English Mail. We learn from the Novascotian of Wednes- Gav Jast that the English Steamer was then hourly expected.

The most serious injury has been done to the Shipping and Commercial interests af this Island by the late gale,—and we presume that the same interests have suf fered elsewhere to as great, if not greater extent. Nearly the whole eastern shore of Nova Scotia is reported to be covered with wrecks, many of them being of ves- gels destined for this Island, laden with Fall supplies 6f Merchandise. Amongs! the latter are, the Itob Roy, Turnbull, from Halifax, with goods—askore about 15 miles from Pictou—vessel and cargo only slightly damaged; Brigt. George, Le Blanc, with.a valuable eargo of Merchan- dise from Halifax for Charlottetown, is a total wreck about 30 miles from Pictou, cargo completely destroyed ; the Spec. Griffiths, is wrecked about the same place --one hand lost, the remainder of the crew saved with difficulty; brig Sham- rock, lately built and owned by Messrs. Reddin & Son—a total wreck, with loss of masts, chains and anchors; besides several other vessels, the names of which we have been unable. to ascertain. We are giad to learn that nearly al! the pro- perty thus destroyed was insured; the delay, however, which our merchants and trades people must put up with, before they can get their supplies renewed, cannot fail to be a great disadvantage and loss to them and the whole community. Several of those gentlemen took passage ia the Steamer for Pictou on Thursday morning.

The wire of the Electric Telegraph between Pictou and Halifax was thrown by the late storm.

TRIUMPH OF LIBERAL PRINCI- PLES.

By the*Mail of yesterday we have ad-

vices from Newfoundland to the 20th

instant. The election for the District of

Little, Isq., our date respected fellow

of tie poll at its close :

Little, 1873 Douglas, 1402 Majority, — 11

ple of St. John’s in favour of Responsible: Government—Mr. Little having canvass-| ed the electors, not on personai merits, buat on the strength of the principles in- volved in that system; while liis opponent adopted the very opposite course, affect- ing to deride and disparage them. An- other is thus added to the many proofs, that the people of all the Colonies, in- steud of being adverse to the introduction of the British Constitution, are eager to enjoy it.

NewrounpLanp.—We see by the Newfoundland papers that the Govern- ment there are about issuing Treasury) Notes, similar in appearance to those of the Bank of British North America, It is thought this wil] be a great help to the Mercantile Community, and will be a step towards establishing a Colony Bank there, directed by men in whom the country shall have confidence, whose in- terests shall be interwoven with the pro- cress and advancement of its institutions, their tenure of office depending on the well understood approval of the public, The issue of these notes, says tha .Vorn- ing Courier, wil] tend in asmall way to counteract the monopoly heretofore en- joyed by the Bank of British North Ame- rica.—Courver.

OUR TRADE WITH P. £. ISLAND

Some idea of the extent of our trade| with Prince Edward's Is!and may be formed from the subjo:ned Itst of imports, entered at the Custom House in this city, from the Ist tothe 18th November.

We are vlad to veas-) sured that the fertile island in questien has, during the past year and the present produce, abundantly, and consequently every demand has been promptly met. The export trade to P. E. Island, from this province, is quite equa! to ihe import. list kindly furnished by Mr. Keefler,
