The gt vernmeut, I repeat, express themselves delight- od Q‘ the departure of the Nuncio, as they are relieved of the presence of a man who was I-ogarded b the Carlists as their mainstay in jladrid an the safe channel of communication with their chiefs. When the concordat was signed, it was stipulated, that the clergy were to sell fhefiproperty within a certain time, and that the overumeut were to pay them, his Holiness having sanctioned all past sales.

She can hardl reduce her army. even were her own iuterna dangers over, and it is not impossible, in the present state of European politics, that she may before long be in ii. posi- tion to lend her co-operation to the cause in which Western Europe is engaged against Rus- sia. Though she cannot now send it contingent to the Crimea, yet, in the event of hostilities extending to other quarters, a S anish contin- ut might be desirable.

The steamship Pacific has arrived, with 30 845 ounces ol gold-dust, and 4, l5! sovereigns, valued in all at .Cl5l.53l; a few packages of tn--rchan- dies and 86 first-class passengers. The news is. ou the whole, satisfactory. l‘lVt!l'yIl|lIig was quiet, sud gold-dust was coming itr as usual. Goods were still low, and not llltrrly lo ri-e while imperlations continue so large.

The first engine on the .\'y-rlrit-y railuriy hm- was set in motiuti on the 5!: of April. A portion of the line was to be opened in due form in about a week afterwards. The cold iniuers appear to persevere at their WOI‘l(,l|5 ifthey found it to their interest to do so. By this time the 3lII7|lt'lll’ gold hunters. whose hands were bct'er acquainted with the kid glove than with the pick and r-hovel, i:iusi have pretty well retired from the business, and the hard-handed diggers who now descended into the bowels ofthe earth for the precious metal are more after the “navvy” stamp. Solong as these men find it worth their while to dig for gold. the colony will be pretty safe from violence. but if mother earth should “stop the so plies.” it might be diflicult to find res hctsble emp oyment for the red-shirted army. n this account, the discovery of new gold fields is to be hailed with satisfaction. We have not troubled our readers with full reports of the Ballsrat state trials (or, as a colonial contemporary proposes to amend the word, stale trials). The whole of the prisoners have been acquitted. although the juries were changed several times in hope of getting s more pliant one. We fervently hope that the hatchet may now be btiried. and that no veslige may remain of the miserable sflsir. except the experi- ence dearly bought by both sides.

'l‘IlI.WO0DlN ci.ocI TRADE.

A letter from llambur says,—Within the last few months. the vepse s arriving from New York now regularly brin us a new article of commerce, which former y formed rather an important part of the expor‘ from Hamburg. This article is the so cal ed wooden clocks of the Black Forest. the manufacture of which has been transferred by degrees Iron: the mountains of Wurtemberg to the plains of America by the numerous emigrants annually leaving Germany, and it must he confessed, from the s imens I have seen. that they make them new in America —probably from t e greater facilities afforded them in the choice of the wood and other mate- rials-—in a much more creditable and work- iuanlike ipaiincr than they ever did in their na- tive ocun r .

We used’, in former years, to send a large quantity_of these wooden clocks to_ England, for exportation the British colonies; but now the Germans in America are able not only to beat us _out of that field, but to compete success- fully with their German eountr men in the home in_arke_t of their fatherlsn . The large and rapidly increasing manufacture of this _sr- ticle in America is evident, from the following authentic statistics of the trade :—In the State elf Oouuelcattifiut, there ared7 nioiannfactories, Ol!l'l-

o in persons, an r ucin annna wooden oloclis; in firistol, 1 manufac! torics, with 400 persons, making 200,000 clocks; Plymouth has 3 inanufuctcries, with 175 work- men, turning out 75,000 clocks ; at Ansor-la are two ruanufactorics. with M0 persons emplo ed, who make annually 102,000 clocks; at strad, I manufactory, with 40 persons, 30,000 clocks; at Southampton are 2 manufactcries, with 45 workmen, producing 40,000 clocks ; and, lastly, at New llavre, there are 3 manu-

fsctoriss, employing 400 persons, and making,

370,000 clocks. So U at in the seven above- mentioned places there are 32 iiiuiiulactories,

- employing 2.500 workmen, and producing an-

nually 1,017,000 wooden clocks.

A V.ii..urtiii.i: liucttcr.-—-Arn--ngst the rnriiiy ourlmira lltlltlrl of |ll-Il\'|Ii|,[ llltiiitty here, none (says Wili.iiii lloiviti) surpasses the following:-—A surgeon told me that he went one day into the tent ofa brother iiicdtcris, oti the lie.-iidigo,jiist as is patient was going out. “ l have been stopping a tooiIi,"ssid the surg»-.on.

(Foii lIssz.inn's Grizrrrii.) Ms. Eniroa:

In my letter to you of 25th May, I stated I would olfer some further remarks on the Land Question, in connexion with the Civil List ltill. ’l'hc object of the present letter is to shew, when the llouie Government recommended an equi- table settlement of the landed tenures, they left two courses open for adoption on the part of the (Iolonial Government, either of w iicli might. be pursued to the desired end with the happiest t-lfcct. Ono Plan l have already laid down,and it remains for t'ioso who held contrar- ry opinions to poiiitout. the impractioability of a Court. of Esclieat for the purpose. Admitting for the sake ol'_argiirn«-nt, the Imperial power should be so far biased in llivour of iipholdiiig the exploded theory of maintaining ii landed aristocracy in this Island, as to deny the right of enquiry into the titles of their Estates, what then is the next step for us to pur- sue. The scctiiidairy stiptilation between the Gi-atitecs and the t.'i'oii‘ii is, that the Ul'l|lIlt.‘tt! and the Crown, is that the Grantees hound tlremsclvos to pay ll. yearly rental 0|‘ Quit Rent, which in no instance has been complied with, and the arrears ofreiit arising tliei-otroui were trarislerred to tho lloloiiy on the introduction of Responsible (joveriiiiiciit iii the your I851. in eoiieideratioii of our provi-ling retiring allow- ances for the olliccrs ol Govt.-riiiiit-tit at that (mic as well as for taking upoti ourselves the bur- thcns ol' the Civil lost. It has been stated,uiid I believe without contradiction, that these tir- rcars amount to about .L3,ll00 British Sterling,

r 'l‘ownslrip, and an Asseiiibly whose majority represented proprietary intercsts,uclinowlcdgcd the justness of the debt; such being the case, there can be no hardship, nothing to complain of, when this sum will be exacted. A Govern- ment who holds such u debt over the heads of the proprietors, and having the power as the present one has to compel payment, have within their hands without any further appeal, the power of settling the Land Question at any time, all that is wanted is the will, and when we will have formed a Government whose de- termination will be consonant with that of the country. short time will then be allowed to ela so before the recommendation of Desputch of ate of l2t.li February will have been consum- mated, either through the ordeal ofu Court of Escheat, or the compulsory payment of the Quit Rents. It would be ajust an equitable mea- sure to sell all forest and leased lands for liquidation of the Quit Rent arrears, and with the proceeds reinstate the tenantry in their occupations as frceholders, throughout the length and breadth of the land, and thus anni- hiliite the hateful rental system. Isay, Mr. Editor, it would be just, because the llevenue has been drawn from sources derived from the industry and improvements of the small free- holders and the tsniintry, the proprietors not

ying a farthing thereto, excepting in II few instances, and even in these, only is small por- tion for opening roads throu bout their own property, the sum being of tri irig amount, not one per cent. of tho rentals received. lt would be unjust to exact the Quit Rents from free- holders, because they have improved theirlauds and turned the forestinto agardsn,und because they have mainly maintained the public bur- then, and contributed therefrom towards the Civil List, previous to the introduction of Re- sponsible (rrovsrnmcnt. I think, from the little I have said, Mr. Editor, on the debt due from the proprietors to the Colony. it will be under- stood, that the schsmc of settling the landed

of circumstances fortune had thrown in favor of the great body of the people.

lugs, and we confess we were not a little sur- prised at the style and magnitude of the build- ings erected within the last year or two, as well as those in progress. Messrs. Beer have a store that would appear respectable in any street in in Charlottetown. L r. Mutcli is finishing ii. building intended for a dwelling house and store, in a style which does him credit, and is fully equal to any thing on this side the water. Mr. George Moore has nearl completed one, intended fora retailshop an boarding house, and when we say that our friend Wm. McKay is there, with plaster corriices and centre pieces, we give a sullicient idea of the _style in which

they do thin s there. There is an extensive Illaeksmitli‘s ‘hop, and Randall has a Tannery en ti. very respectable scale, and which we do not doubt, will in time, be equal to his capacity for managing it. The never failing ” Licensed to sell spirituous liquors ” tavern is there also, but as a set ofl to this, there is to he a Churc

tenures, by compelling payment of their arrears of rent is feasible, and that the practicability | of turning the tenantry into frecholders is at-

tainable, and that the view coincides with the coinmcndations of 12th February, '5l.and is supported b the law of the land. There are reasons to cad us to think, that although Sir Alexander Bannerman was unfavorable to the

in- ,

establishment of a Court of Escbeat.yst he would have lent his ability and authority tow- ards settling tbc lauded tenures by proceeding against the printers, for arrears of Quit’ Rent, but t c at-’oprietary power ruled too

strong in his uncil, no abbettor of the

Tsniintry appeared there to support a chance‘

erected in the course of the Autumn. Here then, are all the requisites ofa ’ ‘own. and the site chosen for it is an excellent one, having a gentle descent, and standitg so high, that it it be not thoroughly drained. it will be the fault of the inlrnliitanis. It is well worth the trip to haveaview of Charlottetown and the sur- rounding scenery, as well as that in the imme- diate Vicinity. Rosebank has been celebrated for its natural beauty ever since we firstsaw it, now upwards of thirty years, and that beauty has been much hei htened since then by judicious management. Ve were delighted with Glen Stewart, and every thing about it. We feel very certain, that ii. vcr short time will have to elapse,before there will be a cousi- derable number of countr Villa residences, or rather small former orriea in the nei hbourhood, every hundred or two yards throng which one passes, disclosing a scene, which, though in re- ality the same, yet, from the circums uce of being viewed from another position, an from the variations of foreground, appears to be dif- ferent from those previously seen. In short, we have no doubt. but that the good time has arrived, and will. we trost,contin for that part ofour really beautiful Island We have hitherto abstained frotii giving our embryo town a distinctive appellatiou,aud this because it seems there is some dill‘.-rent-e about what is "f is to be its name The proprietor of the land, and of course the founder of the town or village has given it the classic appellation of
