—the least contingent at which, he thinks, we could be rated—would necessitate an im-| mediate outlay on our part — first, for the) «building, fitting out snd supporting for ay vear of a ship fit to cope with any of the zhips pow builtin the Scates, of not less than | £100,000 sterling, and probably a great deal | more than that sem, and, next, for the} rais the military outfit, barracks and | ssereasure comforts’’ of one regiment for the fi year, & further immediate expense on ous part of £94,750 sterling. In concluding his estimete of the expense to this Colony, through our being oblig od, as a consequence of Confederation, to assume a defensive posi- tion, the editor says: ‘* lt can be gleaned from this rough estimate—and we are rather below than above the real cost — that one ship of war and one regiment of soldiers would cost £194,750 sterling, for the first year, a sum equal to the annual revenue of thie Colony for about four years. Of course, the expense would not be sv much each suc- ceeding year, but, on an average, the ex- pense of supporting one ship and one regi- ment of soldiers would not be less tkan £150,- 000 P. E. Island currency, per annum.”’

This ia certainly a most astounding esti- | mate of one of the burthens with which the} Union, should it take place, might be the! means of imposing upon the peeple of Prinee | Edward Island. The correctness of the esti- mate, es a mere calculation, we seek not to question ; but we do question that, even should the consummacon of the contem- | plated Union be effected, one of its conse- | quences to the people o! this Island woald be —either for defence or any ocher purpose— so monstrous and crushing an addition to their public burthens.

The alarming antic patory calculations of the Herald are altugether based upon the supposition that the Mother Country is de- termined to cast loose her North American Colonies, and to throw them altogether upon their own strength and resources for the/| maintenance of their independence and the defence of their rights, liberty, and terri- tories from foreign aggression. This, how- ever, we are fully persuaded, is a most erro- | neous supposition, and one which can be most easily disproved. It woulds indeed, be an easy task for us to shew, by most con- vineing arguments, the absurdity of the by- pothesis ; but, as in the conclusion of a most excellent article which appears in the edi- torial columns of the last number of the Islander, under the heading, ** The Northern Kingdom, by a Colonist,’’ — every word of which we may say, en passant, has our most cordial concurrence—we find our own opin ion, on this point of the question, set forth with a strength, clearness, and precision which very few writers, we think, would be able to improve, we are convinced that we

- > - THE FREDERICTON EXHIBITION.

The following account of the late Exhibition, | held at Fredericton, N. B, we take from the Nova Scotian, of the 17th inst:—

The St. John papers contain reports of the exhibition held in the city of Fredericton during the past week, and judging from the several ac- counts we are led to infer that it was a fair sue- cess. ‘The building was fitted up in good style. On either side of the structure, passing up trom the main entrance, a large quantity of flowers were tastefully arranged. The show of apples, plums, peaches, pears, and other truit, is said to have been highly creditable. We are told that on a tier of tables were arranged monster squashes, cabbages, beets, mangold wurtzels, potatoes, tur- nips, carrots, parsnips, heads of celery, German kale, of a wonderful size, and varius other va- ricties of vegetables. There was a large display of excellent corn, great many samples of wheat, oats, rye, barley, beans, peas, &c. There were alse ev exhibition green sugar cane grown from the seed, and several specimens of the todacco | plant. In another part of the edifice there were | specimens of terra cotta, and crockery from au | establishment situated at Courtney Bay, near St. | John. There were a large assortwent of iron and | copper ware, manufactured in St. John, also iron railings, rustic seats of the same material, and a great variety of kitchen, parlour, and hall stoves, immense boilers, &c. Several steam engines, xnd a qvantily of machivery of domestic wanutacture, were also on show. There were also carriages,

and brads, edge tools, ploughs and other tarming implements in abundance. Upstairs there were harness, saddles, hats and caps, specimens of | book-binding, paper, of various kinds, cloths of | several descriptions, boots and shoes, needle work, oil and water paintings, blaukets, speci- wens of prepared flax, articles of furniture, doors and sashes, collection of native woods, pianos, | photographic views, an assertment of minerals, | orea, mirrors and picture frames, manufactured | furs, biscuits, trunks, honey in the comb, soap and candles, leather, cottou gouds manulactured |

other articles. tis said, however, that in the |

uumber and the variety ofthe articles, the exhibi- | tion was iuferior to that held in Sussex Vale in| 1361. It is said by the correspondent of the} Freeman that fur the majority of the visitors to} Fredericton the races were the great attraction. | Che track was near the building. 1t was a nar- row paralellogram, and the turusat the corners | consequently sharp. For several days the horses | intended fur the races were trained or exercised |

ly states that even ou Sunday there wes no ces- sation of this work. There were fine horses from the States, Nova Scotia and P. E. Island, as weil as from various parts of New Brunswick, the whole that took part in the races numbering be- tween fifty and sixty. The @lobe’s correspondent, | ia referring generally to the exhibition, says :— “In reference to the display of articles in the Exhibition Building, it looks rather meagre. This

recompense. This, however, is a very old | story ; and there is another view of the ques-| tion. No statesman can be ignorant ot, or! insensible to, the prestige which the United | Kingdom derives frum ber Colonics. We, in! private life, complain of the expense entailed | by keeping up certain parts of our domestic | establishments; but when it is proposed to curtail, and thus avoid the expense, it gene- rally happens that we cannot afford to do so consistently with our own notions of dignity, } respectablity, or comfurt, Were such « pro- yp sien to be serivusly made, (the dissever- ance of these Colonies [rom Great Britain) it would, after very short deliberation, be re- jected, if for no other reason than as imply- Ing & consciousness of Weakness and an ina- biuty tu affurd the expense of what unques- tionably adds to the grandeur, if ovt ww the

strength of the empir

Two of our Islan! contemporaries, the | Protestant and the H:raid, seem to agree in | the opinion that the U sion scheme 19 pothing but @ project uf dise. atented and ambitious men. and that some vo! our Legislators yearn tor its eonsummationin the mere selfish expec tation of results individually gratifying and beneficial to themselves. That this is the} case, a8 respects sume, we may admit; but, | on theother hand. we are certain that among the advocates of the contemplated Union are honest and enlightened statesmen, whose | eagerness to effvet it arises suiely from the} desire to see ** reproduced here in the New} World the stable liberty, the eapacity of de- fence, the wateria! pr gress, and the refined culture of the conntry trom which they are sprung.”” Should the Union take place, that event and separation from Great will cer- tainly not be simultaneous. That the time will arrive when theee Colonies sha)! be se- wered from the Parent State, cannot be doubted ; but that event, we believe, is re- served tor a far distant future; and, if the| Unien be formed—as sooner or later all seem convinced it must and will be — under the|

rotectorate, or protective power of Great Britain, it may, we think, be quite surely predicted that, as a United State, they will, for many years, grow in strength, increase in) prosperity, and im the acquisition of every na-) tural concomitant that can operate to render a people truly contented, ** great, glurivus, and tree.’’

We observe that the Protestant of the 8t) instant says, ‘* Some of the prime movers in this Union Question, we fear, would almost be prepared to declare the Provinces united | without at ali consulting the people ;"’ and we admit that there may be some grounds for entertaining suai 4 fear or suspicion con- cerning some members of the Convention, whose advocacy of the measure, itis shrewdiy supposed, arises principally from an expec- tation entertained by them that, if it become an a-complished fact, they will easily find means t~ make it subserve their aims of personal ambition. But so far from being thus prepared ** fo srid”’ the people whor | they represent in the Convention, we well | know that, in common with ourself, our own | Liberal Delegates are prepared—in theevent | of the Convention's agreeing to a Report re | commending the consummation of the pro- jected Union, how favorable and desirable sever the conditions concluded upon in Con- ference may seem to be, or may in reality | be, to the people of P. E. Island, — to call) upon our Government to have the whole question submitted directly to the people, through a Genera! Eleetion.—In taking this credit for the Delegates appointed from the Liberal party, we think it only simply might to say that we, by no means, intend that our readers should infer from it that we would have them to believe that any other of our Delegates, as now engaged, are lees to be de- pended upon for an |onest and anxious desire to protect and secure the best interests of this Colony, than their colleagues of the Libera! school.

That this great question should not be de- cided, in any of the Provinces, except by a direct vote of the people, is, we believe, what truly liberal-minded men of all parties will admit—Mr. Cauchon and Mr. MeGee, two of the Canadian Ministers, have already, we see, peblicly declared this to be their opin- jon: and, as respects what will be done here in order to ascertain the real seatiments of the people at large concerning it, we imagine that, soon after the return of our Delegates to the Island, the Governor will issue his Proclamation for an early assembling of our Legislature in Seseion, for the especial pur- pose of having submitted to their considera- tion the Report of the Convention, and of hearing and sifting such explicit explanations and revelations concerning it, as they may deom it right to require of var Delegates, or as our Delegates themselves may conceive it to be their duty to iake to them, or to lay before them ; and that then—after this most important inquest ¢}all have been beld, and the usual general sesongl business shall have been dispatched—th st the House of Assembly shali be forthwith disselyed, and, as soon after as our Government in their wisdom shall deem it fit to io #0, Writs issued for a General Election — the immediats object, of which wil) be to afford the people a

The Bark Uxoine., Kickham, master, from Li- aerpool, with Goods to the Hon. J.C. Pope and others, arrived here on Thursday morning last, in the unprecedented short passage of nineteen days. This vessel is intended as a Freight Ship between | this Port aud Liverpool, and as this is her first veyage out, we congratulate her owner— Mr. Pope—on her very successtul and speedy voyage. The Unxpine has on board, besides a_ large

turee Bulls, and some nine or ten Rams, imporied by the Royal Agricultural Society. The horses look exceedingly well, and so alse de the Bulls and Rams. The whole of the Stock shipped, with the exception of two Rams, came out safe.

Usiversiry Honors.—lIt is particularly gra- tifying to find that Mr. Alexander Nicholson, of this City, formerly a student in the Prince of Wale’s College, has gained, by competitive exami- nation, the “ Mowat Scholarship” at Kingston University, Canada. This is the enly scholarship open to siudents of the first year, and Mr. Nichol- son has well sustained the reputation of his vative Island, by outstripping all Canadian competitors. He is of the same standing as Mr. Shaw, who, at Dalhousie College, Halitax, carried off the palm, both in claasies and mathematics, from even the advanced classes. ‘This is killing right and left, and proves beyond dispute, that the Island, thongh small in territorial extent, nurses in its ba- some a race of young meu of liberal endowments and honourable ambition. Mr. Nicholson de- serves special credit, on aceount of the difficul- ties he has surmounted, and the position which he now ocoupies. His innate love of learning will find awple scope in the congenial atinosphere of a University. Most sincerely do we hope that his strenous and laudable efforts te attain distine- tion way be crowned with abundant success.— Isl.

having adduced some important results as regards the sailing capabilities of the iron ships with their present form of rig. It has now become a recognised fact that in future the rig of vessels of war must play a subor- dinate part to the steaming capabilities of each ship. In the modern system of naval warfare the ultimate victory will undoubtedly incline to that vessel whieh can beat her an- tagonist in manceuveing and in superiority of steaming, should the latter be even as small ag a fraction of a knot per hour. Acting on this now well-understood principle, the Ad- wiralty have decided on doing away with much of the rigging which crowds most of the ships of the iron-claud squadron, and giving each a lighter rig.

The Recipe is published around each Buttle, and the bottles are not reduced in ¥ize. Atleast twenty imitations and counterfeits have sprun up. They impose upon the people once and that’s the last of them.

The Plantation Bitters are now used in all the Governmeut Hospitals, are recommended by the best physicians, and are warranted to produce an immediate beveficial effect. Facts are stubborn things.

Feeling better by degrees, in a few days I was as- tonished to find the coldness and cramps had en- tirely left me, and I could sleep the night through, which I had not done for years. I feel like another being. My appetite and strength have also greatly improved by the use of the Plantation Bitters. Respectfully, JUDITH RUSSEL.”

If the ladies but knew what thousands of them are constantly relating to us, we candidly believe enue half of the weakness, prustration and distress experieaced by them would vanish. James Marsh, Esq., of 159 West 14th St. N. Y, says, * he has three children, the first two are weak and puny, bis wife having been unable to nurse or attend them, but that she has taken Plantation Bitters for the last two years, and has a child now eighteen months old which she has nursed and reared her- self, and both are hearty, saucyand well. The ar- ticle is invaluable to mothers,” &c.

Such evidence might be continued for a volume. The best evidence is to try them. They speak for Persons of sedentary habits, troubled with weakness, lassitude, palpitation of the heart, lack of appetite, distress after eating, torpid liver, constipation, diabetes, &c., will find speedy relief through these bitters,
