ded. The next and only: remaining concession to the tenant, is a remission of arrears of reut that served prior to 1858. The. Commissioners gravely observe that this remission would “ occa- sion little or no lows to the landlords.” We cer- tainly agree with them ia thixobservation. Those who are in. arrears for -rent due prior to 1285s, must be worth nothing, or otherwise the landlords would have surely obtained either payment or good security ; and if they are worth nothing,

He says :—* I shall be very glad | if I shall fiad it possible, at a future opportunity, to offer any fresh suggestions for meeting the dif- ficulties of the case,”—that is, with respect to the arbitration clause.

In short, the Award, worthless as it is, is fatally knocked on the head by the Duke's despatch. ‘Though his Grace com- pliments the Commissioners for the evident “pains- taking” spirit with which they, pursued the inves- tigation, yet he does not vovehsafe one word of approval on any of their decisions;— “Downie STREET, “7th February, 1362. “Sir,—I have the honor to acknowledge the

Weighed down by the burden of | sidered in some of its details, without any of!

that temporary excitement which usually accompanies the first agitation of a question of this kind. Before proceeding tu nutice these details, I will shortly remark upon the objections to the Bill which have reached me.

I do not think it necessary to examine whether the institution of an Elective Upper Chamber, which has been a'ready sanctioned by Her Majesty in Canada, Victoria, South Australia, and Tasmani, is adapted to the circumstances of Prince Edward Island. On this point I accept, without hesitation, the opinion of the Legislature, representing, | am bound to assume, that of the Colonists.

Nor doT think it in any way objection- able ; but, on the contrary, that the Council should, as in the above mentioned Colonies, be incapable of being dissolved by the Gover- nor. An Upper Chamber is valuable as an element of stability ; and the principal value of an Elective Upper Chamber | conceive to be this, that while in virtue of its elective character it may claim equally with the As- sembly to speak the voice of the community ; it may yet be so composed as to reflect their settled wishes and principles, rather than their transitory impulses.

But this advantage would be wholly lost if the whole body were chosen, or could be re- moved under the influence of such an impulse.

The first of these dangers is obviated (or inteaded to be so) by providing that half only of the Council shall be elected at one time. The second, by giving to each Councillor a fixed tenure of office, independent of any popular or governmental influence.

This independence may, ne doubt, produde| 2

inconvenience. But to avoid those inconve- niences, by making the whole body subject to

THE CIVIL WAR; THE PLOT THICKENS.

It would perhaps be more correct to write thet the record thickens, for the time for action has as- surediy come at last, and day by day we are startled by important aad decisive announcements.

the great question of relative strength between North and South is about to be decided; ner do we participate in the opinion of those who hold that the conflict will be indefinitely prolonged. | The now frequent collisions of the hostile truops must become still more frequent. The South must beat back the advancing and invading North, and that right soon, or must succumb to overwhelming force. Aud in saying this, we ure well aware that uot a few of the Cuutederates will still be elamor- ous for a guerilla wartare, if beaten out of eities and strongholds. Nevertheless, and making all ailowauce tor an intensity of hatred whieh prevails to a lamentable extent on one side, we could not but conjecture, a month ago, that the coming Spriug wust bring about a subjugation of the new Confederacy—or its acknowledgment. Events still point in one of these two directions.

Tue surrender of Fort Donelson, ou the Cum- berland River, to the Federal troops, would have been the leading incident of the week, had it not been announced yesterday, on Southern state- ments,that proposals have been made for giving up also the city of Nashville, Tennessee, threatened by a fleet of gun-buats aseending the Cumberland and by a large army marching upon it, flushed with success, Clarksville, also on the same river, had been previously, we learn, evacuated by the Southerners; so that there is no exaggeration in wees up the week's progress in the West as eminently ayd uninterruptedly successful to the Government of the United States—The three days’ fight at Fort Donelson was bloody and de- termined in the extreme, the U.S. Tinois regi- ments having very conspicuously distinguished them- selves. The importance of the event is marked by the one fact, that the prisoners taken included one General, if not two, a cloud of officers, and 13,300 neu, The U.S. gun-boats were very se- verely handled. General Floyd eseaped, with 5,000 of his troops.—This affair of Fort Donel- son, {following the loss of Fort Henry on the Ten- hessee: the torced evacuation of Bowling Green in Kentucky ; the welcome given tothe U. 8. gun- boat Costenoga,as now appears, all along the lat- ter river up to Florence m Alabama; and sundry movements in Missouri, on which we have no room tu dwell, have undoubtedly thrown no slight gloom upon the Southern cause. The publie—waiting turther action tromthe Burnside and the Sherman expeditions—now look to see whether at Colum- bus, at Memphis, and elsewhere on the Mississ- ippi, there will. or will not be, a repetition of the ; vecurrences ou the Cumberland and the Ten- | be@sRkee,

(ADVERTISEMENT.) To Tie Eprror oF THe ISLANDER. IK,—Feeling that the public generally

care very little about the differences that may exist between private individuals, it was not my intention on reading the lengthy, very gentlemaniy, and still more logical communication of Mr. W. A. Johnstone, which uppeared in the Islander of the 28th ult., but in justice to myself, I will, with your permission, offer a few words in reply, and in doing so, am willing to admit, that while it is strictly true that the requisition in question was not signed by all'the leading merchants and others in this city, the langwaye used by me may have been stronger than peceseary, and that the impied imputation cast upon the office I represent—and for the representa- tion of which this same Mr. Johnstone had applied —the knowledge of the fact that numbers had not signed the requisition, while others had refused to do so, led me to add to my reply that sentence, which perhaps had better been omitted.

Mr. Johustone asks for the proofs of his deception, and as there is no doubt in the minds of those whe have read his sorice that he wished it understood that he did not apply for the Agency of the Queen Insurance Company, I beg to call attention to the following extract of a lever from the Manager of this Company. The letter is dated at Liverreot,
