Charlottetown, May 9, 1864, THE LAST OF THE DELEGATION CORRESPONDENCE,

THE Royal Gazette of Wednesday last contains a letter addressed to the Colonial Office by Sir Samuel Canard, in reply to the last letter addressed tu the same departaieut by Mr. W.H, Pope, while & Delegate in Louden, regarding the concessions which have been made to the Proprietors by the luiperial Government and ther obligations to their tenantry. The venerable Baronet sharply replies to they are suder any obligations to the tenantry,and speaks throughout in the tone of a man who con- siders that his trateruity have been deeply injured by our local legislation. We caunot make room tor Sir Samuel Cunard’s long letter. It has not been written with the caluiness which befits the

and whether be or Mr. Pepe has the best of the argumeut, is now of the smallest consequence te the people of this Island. It may be very well to amuse the public here by shewing that there has been a great diversity of opinion upen seme trivial

“In the Prince Edward Island Legislature the Government party, in order to put the defeat of their efforts to settle the land question out ot View as much as possible, got up a debate on the retusal of the Queen te approve of the Bill to in- corporate the Orange Association. The sainted Secretary, W. H. Pope, abused the Catholics and their Pope in the vilest terms, and a resolution censuring the Duke ot Newcastle was passed. It will, no doubt, be of much service to the Go- verument if the tenantry, im their hatred of Popery, forget all the wrongs and miseries which tbe Governinent promised to put an end to, but which have grown heavier and more intolerable than ever. The mancuyre is very old and well known, yet it often succeeds, so many are apt to play the fool when their seelarian feelings aud prejudices are appeal@d to, even though they know the persous whe slrive to excite them are Lhem- selve irreligious and profligate.”

It appears that, as customary, the jailor, Heggs, opened the cell on ‘Tuesday morn- ing, Where MeGilvray was eoutiued, along with another prisoner, (Whitty, whe was in tor shop- breaking at Souris), aud ordered them = te “come ont for their day’s rations; they went into the storeroom tor that pttrpose, and whilst Heggs was stooped, handling the bread, the pri- soners suddenly sprang out of the reom, shut the door, banged on the iron bar, aud fastened the jailor in. MeGilvray, through the key hole, wish- ed Heggs “ good morning,” and boped “ he would enjoy the nice biscuit for bis breaklast.” Hegys roared like a caged lion, and the robbers took up the ery, shouting ‘fire, fire!’ and soon the whole establishment was alive, some in their night dresses, and all rearing “ fire!’ and the jailor’s gruff husky roars adding to the concert. MeGil- vray and Whitty made for the weed yard, and whilst climbing the fence, were noticed by Miller and Coioer Hughes, who very ereditably gave them battle. Miiler being a strong powertul man, after a severe fight held Whitty, whilst the bat- tle raged between the robber and the coiuer, but ina minute it was over, the coiner being not strong after his four years’ Noprisonment was knocked stunned to the ground. MeGilvray thea in an instant climbed the fence, stood tor a sec- ond on the top, and jumped out a free man, mak- ing short work of the three years to run, and the winding up whipping. Pursuit was at once made, and all the fords guarded, and it is to be hoped he may be re-captured.—Com.
