JUDICIAL POWERS OF THE CORPORATION.

So much has lately been said and written respecting the judicial powers ot the Mayor and City Councillors, that we doubt if any further discussion would be likely to improve ,the case. That eu readers may be able to judge for them- selves, we give the sections of the differ. ept Acts of the Legislature defining the past and present powers of the civie judi. cial authorities.

By a law passed in 1866, it is pro- vided : --

Sec. 1X. In case of riot, tumult or distur- bues, or illegal acts of any kind, accom panied with force or violence, or a just ap prebension thereof, in the City of Charlotte. town, the Mayor, or Presiding Councillor, nay, by writing under his hand, appoint any number of Special Constables, whe shal, we duly sworn tothe faithful discharge ol their duties, to assist in preserving peace ani order, and such Special Constables shall pe ander the direction of the Mayor or the Presiding Councillor.

, In 1875, certuin cases of larceny were tried in the Police Court, the decisions in which created much dissatisfaction ;

aud, oa petitioning the Legislature, the following was enacted :— LV. The administration of the Police

wituin the City of Charlottetown, shall be vested in the Stipendiary Magistrate so ap pointed, who shail perform every act per- taining to the oflice of Justice of the Peace, for the apprehension, conviction, committal and punishment of criminal offenders, anu for carrying into elfect the laws in force and Sie ordinances and Bye Laws of the City, and who shall have power over all offences eet forth in Acts relating to the City of Char iattetown, for the trial of olfenders in a sum mary way at the Poiice Court, or any other Act. now in existence, or hee afier to b: made relative to pelice business.

PASSING THE BALKANS.

General Gourkha’s operations south of the Balkans are of a nature to revive the interest in the story of the Russo-Turkish war despite the vivid excitement nearer nome. General Gourkha’s achievements are of the kind that extort admiration in any age and clime, and despite all distracts ing circumstances. fle is the first of the Russian commanders to separate himself from all the others by the splendor of his successes, and his record already blazes athwart the twinkle of other names as a comet across the skies studded with undis» tinguishable stars. He has had a great op~ portunity, ic is true; but General Schill- er. who marched against the force at Plevna, also bad a great opportunity,
