DECEMBER 9, 1830. Debts Vue the Public.

Since the publication of the report of the Whim Road Meeting, some of those who have already paid for their lands have suggested that there should be held a meet- ing of {reeholders and citizens for the pur- pose of asserting their rights in the body politic, and taking measures to counter- act the dishonest ideas,about debts due the public, propagated by unprincipled poli. ticians. In our opinion, this ia not at all necessary. The innate honesty of the country at large, the very evident interest of a Jarge majority of tax-payers, the strong opinions held by leading members of the Opposition in favor of the collection of these debts, and expressed so late as last session by theirablestexponent in the House of Assembly in the emphatic words, ‘* every dollar due the Land office should be collected” all combine tu strengthen the hands of the Commissioner of Crown Lands in the course he has adepted. Exception should, of course, be made where legul proceedings are likely to be followed by distress, and time may be given those wlio come In and pay the interest on the amounts they ewe. But every honest and patrietic man will, on reflection, join in supporting the only policy by which many debts due the public can be secured. The sum involved is upwardsof halfa million of dollars, which ii collected and funded, at 5 per cent interest will yield to the Province over $25,000 a year; snd to that extent lessen the burden of taxation. The unprincipled schemers and agitators, who are inciting debtors tothe publie to repudiation may safely be left to themselves. At all events it is not necessary to do more than sadly look on, while they strain their conscien- eos and ruin their reputations.

Compound Interest.

Taz Patriot has declared against ‘* com pound interest’ as charged in the Land Office by successive administrations ever since it was opened. There is a very simple ‘way of reducing the charge to ‘‘ simple interest.” Let farmers who can- net pay the principal, at least make a point of paying the interest whenit becomes due. {ff thoy do this they will hear no more abou! ‘‘ compound interest.” The interest is only $5 for $100, or, inelading lawyer's expenses, about half the rate charged by money lenders. We feel assured that, though it is desirable to close the Land Office as soon as possible, and therefore to have all the aincunts due collected without delay, no Governmen: will embarrass any man who comes in and pays his interest once a year. As a matter of fact, proceedings have not been taken against anyone who has paid a single cent of either principal or interest within the past ten years. But we think the Government will make a mistake if they ehange the rule which has hitherto been followed, and do not charge interest on interest which is allowed to accumulate, for a strony incentive to regular annual payments will be lost, and the interests of the public at large will suffer.

A Line of Steamers for St. Jobn.

Tur St. John Board of Trade recently had @ meeting and an anuual report. The Committee aay they found the cattle ship-

ers of P. E. Island anxious to ship from

t. John in preference to other ports. They also say that there is a strong feeling among the people of New Brunswick to aid the movement. They recommend that the Board memorialize the Dominion Gov- eenment for a subsidy sufficient to obtain aline of steamships between the city of St. John and Liverpool, the sub- sidy to last three years. A communicatien from the Dominion Line stated that it was impossible to make arrangements with them.

Loss of Robert McKay. New London.

Tus St. John’s Newfoundland Register, of the 3rd inst., gives particulars of the melancholy accident which happened duty; ing the passage of the ** Lillian Burke” | from New London te St. Joan's :

‘“The schooner “ Lillian Burke,” of New London, P. E. 1... owned by George R. Garret, and commanded by Capt Ambrose Crozier, was towed into the harbor this morning at half-past nine o'clock, with her flags flying at half-mast. <A reporter immediately called on the Captam and elicited from him the following facts : We left New London, P. KE. 1L., on the 27th ult., bound for St. John’s Newfoundland, with a cargo of general produce, and ex- perienced on the whole voyage down one succession of rough, unabated seas and high northerly and northeasterly winds. On Wednesday morning, at 8 o,clock, we were crossing over St. Peter's Bank, it blowing a fresh, and running under close reefed canvas, our fore boom carried away, and the wind and sea visibly increasing, when we lost overboard Robert McKay,'an sble seaman, aged 24 years, « native of New London, PV. Lk. IL.

“The cause which led to this sad acci- dent was as simple as the result was grave. tobert McKay, at the time he fell over- board, was in the act of hooking the main boom tackle to put a guy onthe main boom when the schooner, lurching very heavily, he lost his hold and slipped over the rail into the sea. We immediately hauled the schooner to the wind —that is, as quick as the surrounding circumstances would per- mit us—threw life buoys, planks, and such material as we thought might afford help to the man overboard. McKay, however, did not succeed in securing any of these, but continued swimming against the sea. From the time he went overboard for a space of five minutes, he gever went under, and was plainly visible on the top of the water by the crew. We were endeavoring in the schooner to approach him when a_ heavy sea broke over him and we‘*saw him no more. We were unable to launch a boat, as everything was solid with ice and our efferts were confined to what we could do in the shape of throwing him buoys, &e. On the spot that McKay sunk we lay to for twenty minutes, but of ne avail, as we never saw any vestige of him after he sank,”

(By Telegraph to the New York Herald. )

Dusuix, Dec. 5-—The judgment which Chief Justice May delivered in the case of the application to postpone the Siate prose- cutions has thrown no little alarm into the ranks of the Land Leaguers. Chief Justice May said: ** The Court is unanimously of the opinion that this application must be refused. I believe it to be wholly without precedent. Now, what are the facts of the case? LTthink.that Mr.. Parnell and his associates can hardly appreciate the posi- tion in which they stand. For severel menths this country has been in a state of anarchy. Forseveral months the law of | this country has been openly defied and! trampled upon. for several months a

practiced a system of fraudulent dishonesty iu refusing to meet their just debts; the process of the law cannot be executed; the} Queen’s writs cannot issue. It was only! yesterday that application was made to| this Court to substitute service upon} the ground that no process server or bailiff| dare approach the tenant or point him out! to any one who would venture to serve him. » ‘This country has been for months in a state! of terror. It has been tyrannized over by an unauthorized conspiracy. People of this country are afraid to assert their rights, It is not too much to say that lawis defied, life insecure and rights of property violated. Under circumstanees such as these, having regard to the fact that these were the re- | sults of an agitation which has been sedul- | ous!y carried on for several months, I do not think the consideration of the evidence} of the traversers or of the importance of their attendance in Parliament can be for a moment entertained.

A HIGHER DUTY,

‘*There is a higher, far transcendent duty in this court—to take care that this trial be brought to an issue at the earliest moment, to let it be decided once for all whether it is innocent or criminal to incite] the tenants cf this country to violate their contracts and to impede processes of law, in the maanuer in which we see that the law has been impeded and in which it will probably continue to be violated. I have no hesitation in saying that I will not ac- eede to such an application for a single moment. Let the trial proceed as speedily as possible. If Mr. Parnell has to com- plain of any one, it is of himself and of those associated with him. He has not thought it proper to address his demands for changes in the law to Parliament, of which he is amember. He has endeavored to carry out alterations in the law by violent speeches and violent means. lL mean that these are the accusations, these are the charges he has to meet. If he is innocent of these charges’ let it be decided as soon as possible. I[f, on the contrary, he is not innocent, if he cannot satisfy the Court of his innocence, let the usual consequences follow.” No language can exaggerate the sensation that this speech caused. Chief Justice May is a Judge of great ability and rather choleric. He seemed greatly excit- ed while speaking. The heat of his langu- age is much to be deprecated, as a serious objection will be taken to his trying the agitaters’ casé on the vround that he has judicial capacity. Justice Barry showed his disfavor to the Chief Justice's words by saying, while con- curring in the judgment, that he would *‘ pronounce no° opinion, directly or in- directly, upon the political aspect of the

ebanged hands in this city last Wednesday, at 18 to 20 cents per bag. ’ ee

case, aa it was a topic the court could not eutertain.” [ understand that Mr. Par-

large portion of the community, urged oa} by members of this Land League, on

| nell has expressed his intention of attend- ing Parliament at all haszards and place on the government the respons bility of pre-

venting him, eT E77”
