Reverewp Stga--When I became a subscriber to your lective Franchise ; and here is evidence of the fact that the

paper 1 did so with the expectation that 1 would get good English in return for my money. Although this was not distinetly stipulated for, yet your standing im society and your lofty pretensions were calculated to impress the minds of your subscribers with the belief that you had at least a smattering of knowledge of English grammar. The very fact of your having assumed the duties and responsibilities of editors presupposed a certain amount of ability on your part to write correctly ; for it is pot customary for men in

any trade.or profession to advertise for customers till they |

have attained a certain degree of proficiency in the trade or profession which they have chosen. Nor is the case altered any in your favour by the fact, that you receive no pay for your labdar like other editors; for if I pay for your peper, it does not make an atom of difference to me whether the money goes into your pockets or into those of some other person, Finding in your issue of the 9th instant an editorial urticle headed “ Our edvanced female educators,” in which I cannot find an idea bearing the remotest resemblance to what [ was taught to regard as common sense, or a single sentence of correct Eglish—I take the liberty of returning

ou the paper. I hope you will not be offended at this when i inform you, that it is an invariable rule with me when my tailor or shoemaker fails to please me to send him back his

work. Deeply regretting that your inattention to the gentle hints

whieh I gave you on former occasions should render the adop- |

tion of this measure with you, my spiritual and inte/lectual ides, I remain, Reverend Sirs, your humble servant,

Dec. 28, 1857. FREE CHURCHMAN.

Mr. Evrrorn,—The above is an exact copy of a letter which I addressed to the editors of the Protector, together with the No. of that paper in whieh the silly, ungrammatical article referred to appeared. If you give me room in your paper, I jutend to write a few additional remarks upon the same sub- ject next week. Yours, &e., Free Cuvurcaman.

(FOR THE EXAMINER.) To tras Epiror or tox Istanprr.

Sin,—In my letter of the Sth instant there is sufficient proof to show that the parties whom you call proprictors are usurpers, and in no better position than the receivers of stolen goods ; and instead of you being an advocate for the rights of honest industrious people, as you pretend to be, you are the advocate of usurpers, trying to screen them, not by openly und manfully defending their conduct, but by meauly and falsely accusing others of some imaginary misconduct, and holding that up as a picture before the eyes of the people, that they ehall see nothing of tho irue, but only the imaginary wrongs.

You have said that, in the discussion of public questions, both sides should appear in the same paper, that the people might read and judge for themselves; but you condemn my letter before you publish it, saying, ‘it is rigmarole.” If that were true, the public would condemn it, and save your credit; but you have taken care that such letters shal! not appear in the Islander until you cut them up and mix them | with such remarks of your own that the people shall not un- derstand them, and by such unfair means you manage tha the people shall receive no true information through the Isiander on the Land Question, which, above all others, af- fects the interests of the people more than anything else.

Bat you and the usurpers appear to have taken for ex- ample some of the tricks which have been played off in older | countries, where a gang of pickpockets manage to havea finished blackguard in their pay, to play antics or kick up a row, so 2s to draw a crowd of people who are curious, and want to know “ what it was all about,” and find. when too Jate, it was to draw their attention, and, off their guard, to give the gang the opportunity of emptying their pockets. Aud us there are always some persons who have a craving desire and itching ears for calumny, especially against the Government, they look to the Islander to be gratified, know- ing that you can supply them, in true rowdy slang, about gnatcbing, bloody despatches, bribery, corruption, insolvency, plunder, &c.; and while the slander-mongers chuckle aud grin to see * how well you give it to them,” they forget that it isall a made-up scheme to draw attention from the usurpers, while they are picking the people’s pockets of from £20,000 to £30,000 a year. The Islander never tried to relieve the people from the usurpers in any shape, but slander any and every person who would oppose them or expose their cupidity.

Frow the arrival of Governor Bannerman the policy of the present Government has been to reduce the price of the Jand to the tenantry. The One-Ninth Bill, the Land Tax for Education, the Purchase Act, the Tenant Compensation Bill, the Rent-Roll Tax,and the Loan Bill, are proofs of the jntention of Government to reduce the price of land, and en- able the tenant to become a freeholder by purchase. But these Acts are not constitutional, and the usurpers have been able to set some of them aside. It therefore appears to me the Government must have been restricted to a certain course, to try and make a system of wrong appear right—to make @ usurped and forged claim appear a feasible title, not only to save men of high rank from disgrace, but to reward them for having been guilty of perjury, forgery and conspiracy.— to usurp the lands of this Island and defraud the inhabitants ; and it must be evident to any person, that both freeholders pnd tenants have a far better right to have their money refunded than the usurpers have to receive any compensation wharever; but as the Government appear to be under some yestriction, it must depend upon the people themselves, and if they desire a just and equitable se:tlement of the Land Question, it can orly be obtained by their demanding an investigation of titles.

But it appears the hopes of the usurpers have revived lately. They think, no doubt, and with some reason, that the people have been so well schooled—gulled, I should say

-~by the Islander and Secret Alliance, that a majority of ysurpere avd land agents will be returned at the next ejection; and if that were the case, we may guess what would be the result, The usurpers keep up the price of land from 20s. to 40s. sterling an acre, and you have given a hint of a ition to the House of Commons. Now a petition that

u-urpers. I believe all the indulgences the usurpers have had trom ministers have been obtained in that way, and I shall give an example of recent date.

Jo Karl Grey's despatch (which must have been applied for by Governor Campbell's Council), are the following words ; * It is obvious that an influx of capital and settlers by tending to RAISe THE VALUE oF PROPERTY would be most beneficial to all classes of its inbabiiants.” On this being obtsined it was taken as a license to dispossess occupants and fenanta, and the cicaring system was commenced at Tracadie, to make room for men with money, and was to have been carried on throughout the Island, but was put a stop to by Sir Alexander, on receiving an address from the inhabitants of Kiog’s Cognty, in answer to Earl Grey’s despatch, The paragraph in answer to the above quotation is as follows: * To judave an influx of immirants with capital, to give a temporary rise to the value of property, and buy the tenants’ yeprovemente, would be a profitable speculation for the

same Council not only intended to raise the price of land to the tenants, but to deprive them of their improved farms, land sel! them to immigraats ; and as your object appears to be to draw- the people's attention from such matters, you draw before their eyes imaginary corruptions which can only be avoided by remodelling the Government, vote by ballot,

ve., on purpose to get the usurpers again into office. Since writing the first part of this, I have received the Islander of the 22nd, and find you have omitted the publication of my | letter of the 8th; but you ask some questions which I have | already answered, and are of no importance for information ‘to the publie, only as they appear to serve your purpose for | slander ; you intend to return to them again. My object in ‘writing is to give the people information, and save them from being imposed on by your deceptions in the Islander, whose ‘profession is to lead them by delusion as you would draw '*straws before kittens;” but while my letters were allowed ‘to appear in the Islander, the people could see both sides, ‘and therefore it was my duty to take the paper; but I now igive it up, and as [ shall not see your scurrilous remarks, | you will have itail yourowa way. Yet IL may add a word at parting. Your writings to uphold the usurpers, by slan- dering others, makes the Is/ander a mischievous publication, tending to corrupt the moralsand manuers, and, Il might add, to impair the means of the most invoceut and industrious

class of the inhabitants. Sailor’s Hope. Dee. 28th, 1857. Wa. COOPER.

CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.L, JANUARY 11, 1858. ARRIVAL OF THE ENGLISH MAIL—LATER INTELL GENCE FROM INDIA,

T'uz Steamship Néagare arrived at Halifax on the Ist inst., but the English Mail for this Isiand did not reach here until Friday last. We are indebted to the Halifax Morning Sun for a synopsis of the latest intelligence from India, which is

of an important and interesting charocter. ENGLAND.

The marriage of the Princess Royal is to be celebrated at the Chapel Royal, St. James's, on the 25th of January.

Royal and distinguished personages are expected to arrive in January, on a visit to her Majesty, in order to be present | at the marriage of the Princess Royal and Prince Fredrick | William. The King of the Belgians, the Prince and Princess of Prussia, and the Duke of Saxe Coburg will reside at Buckingham Palace, and for other visitors, a suite of rooms has been engaged at Farrance’s hotel, in Belgravia, where they will be attended by the Queen’s own servants, and have | the use of her Majesty's carriages.

We understand that her Majesty has selected. Lady Churehill and Viscount Sydney to be the lady and lord in at- tendance upon her Royal Highness the Princess Royal in the journey, aller her highness’s wurriage, from London to Bertin. ,

The salaries and expenses of the Honses of Parllament, including printing were, in the year ending March, £153,705.

Sir F. Thesiger received on Monday, the 14th, a letter from Lucknow from Col. [ngits, his son-in-law, who command. | ed the gurrison of that place until the arrival of Generals | Havelock and Outram, to the effect that the beleaguered | garrisons were all well, and had suflicient supplies.

The Earl of Mulgrave’s appointment to the government of Nova Scotia will deprive Mr. Hayter of a zealous and assiduous coadjutor in carrying on the potitical duries of his office. Mr. Hayter will henceforth be assisted in this respect by Mr. Brand, one of the Lords of the Treasury.

The attempts to move the Leviathan were renewed on Tuesday, the 15th. At haif-past three all the chains were hove taut, including the great cable Jaid across the river, and hydraulic presses and numerous screw-jacka were set in motion, but no effect was produced. The machinery became damaged and efforts at launching ceased for the day.

On Wednesday morning, after a few minutes’ application, the Leviathan moved 88 inches aft and 15 inches forward, | the effect being to place the vessel straight on the rails, and to remove suspicion of obstruction of the ways, Two hy-| draulie cylinders then broke, and up to half-past two no) further progress had been made, Further proceedings will | probably be postponed until after Christmas, when vastly in- creased power is to be employed.

It is now said that the launching of the Leviathan will cost only from £20,000 to £25,000.

Both Houses of Parliament have voted unanimously a pension of £1000 a year to Gen. Havelock. The Leviathan is making progress daily to deep water. The French Corps | Legislatiff had adjourned to Jan. 18. The Spanish Mexican difficulties are assuming a more pacific aspect. The Bank o! | England Indemnity Bill had been ordered to a third reading ‘in the House of Commons. Parliament would probably be ‘adjourned in a few days to the usual time of meeting. Sir Gaspard LeMerchaut, Governor of Nova Seotia, had been appointed Governor of Malta, Lord Malgrave succeeds Sir ‘Gaspard in Nova Scotia. Proceedings in Parliament have | not been of an exciting nature. The marriage of the Princess | Royal is set down for the 25th of January ensuing.

But little importance was attached to the reeent news from India in England. Lord Parlmerston in annouveing it in | Pariiament. said he feared it was but a re-echo of former | advices. In the House a resolution was offered “ that the, unlimited liability of shareholders in joint stock banks gives | ‘rise to a species of credit injurious to the interests of the | | public, and that the present law enforcing the adoption ot this principle requires alteration.” Alter sume debate, in which Government opposed the resoiution as being of too positive a nature, the motion was negatived. A decision has been rendered in the Chancellor's Court, London, which |

Lady Hllesmere’s trunk, containing jewellery, has confessed that be took it from a stage in one of the public streets ; the contents, valued at £15,000, were disposed of for a trifle among the receivers of stolen goods,

. Speaking of the Leviathan, the Liverpool Telegraph of the 9th says, “it is confidently expected that the result of yesterday’s work will put the vessel in such a position as that she may safely be jefi to the influence of the nex! spring tides.” Operations in launching were suspended on the 8h ‘owing to a dense fog. Tne Cork Reporter states that there is plenty of food in the harbor, but no one to buy it. There areon shipboard, seeking purchasers, the enormous quantity of 8596 tous of wheat; 9189 tons Indian Corn; 3073 tons barley ; and 869 tons oats, besides immense quantities of Beans, Rice, Sugary, Fruit, and other articles of household consumption. Large quantities of the same commodities are¢

INDIA.

A telegraph from Sir Colin Campbell, dated Nov. 9, inti- mated that Lucknow had been relieved.

Brigadier Grant’s eolumn, about 3500 strong, reached Cawnpore on the 26th Octr., and, being reinforced to 5000, crossed the Ganges with a large convoy of supplies for Luck- now, on the 80th, They reached Alumbagh oa the 8d Nov., and there waited till the Commander-in-Chief should joia them. Sir Colin Campbell Jeft on the 27th Octr., and hav- ing narrowly escaped being made captive on bis way, arrived at Cawnpore on the 8d Nov., and remained there until the 9th, waiting, it is presumed, for further reinforcements, which inust probably have accompanied him, to the extent of from 2000 to 8000, bringing up the force at Alumbagh, when he joins, to close on 10.00) men, Lucknow is said to be sur- rounded by about 50,000 insurgents, against whom Outram and Havelock with difficulty held their own with less than 2000 men. For the past six weeks they have been isolated, and scarcely a live has within that space been received from them. Heavy fighting is believed to have occurred, Col. Powell, while advancing with a party, was obstructed on the | ist by the Dinapore mutineers, when an action ensued, with | severe loss. Troops continue pouring in, and the country is returning to a state of tranquility.

It is generally understood that Nana Sahib, the self-ap- | pointed Peishwa, has assumed the command-in-chief at Oude, }and some profess to see traces of plan in the more recent movements of the rebels. That some idea of concentration prevails among them is obvious from the manner in which the detached bodies have quitted Bengal. Government has published a talegraph announcing a victory at a place called | Burdee, near Allahabad. It seems clear that the enemy fought with desperation, that our loss was severe, and that it was not considered prudent to retain so advanced a position. | Several other engagements have been reported during the week. ‘The greatest occurred in Junapore. Col. Wroughton,

who was moving towards the eastern frontier of Oude with

some 1500 Ghoorkas and two guns, was met by some 5000 of the enemy with seven guns. The mutineers deployed with accuracy, displaying a line nearly two miies long. They did not, however, charge, but opened a heavy fire upon the Ghoorkas. The little men—they are not above five feet— disapproved the proceeding, and went forward against enemies three times their number. Ten minutes after their charge the enemy had dispersed, leaving four guns and 70) bodies on the field. These Ghoorkas are the men for whom Sir Charles Napier had so strong an admiration,

About Jubbulpore all is suid to be in a state of anarchy. There are two regiments of Madras Cavalry there, but the rebels are in every direction,

The troops are arriving fast. The Alma spoke thirty-six ships near the entrance of the river.

Extract of a letter from Lieut. Moorsom, to his mother, at Cawnpore, dated Lucknow, Oct. 27:

“ My dearest mother,—All right paysically and mentally,

ito date. We relieved Lucknow from its instant peril, and |are now ourselves occupying a more extended position in the

town, blockaded with the garrison. Write to [nglis’s, Gub- bin’s and Couper's people, if possible, to say that they and theirs are well. Had we not many women and children, and sick and wounded, we could walk out of the towo at any moment. As it is, we can hold our own and steadily make small advanees until reinforcements arrive,”

Extraet of a letter from Cawnpore :

« [ went to see the intrenchmeut where Wheeler defended himself so long. It is a low mud bank about three feet high, surrounding two large buildings that were formerly hospitals, The walls of these were riddled by round shot, and the roofs have both fallen in. Lt seems miracu!ous, when you look at the wretched defence, huw men could have held out one day, much less many days, against a force well armed, and pro- vided with guns and requisite material. If with the small force we have had hitherto we pave been able to command victory, what will it be when England's armies now arriving march through the country? Ino six months India will be more entirely in our power than it has been before.”

The telegraph brings us advices of considerable interest from Kansas. Returns of the election held on the 21st,. indicate the Constitution with Slavery was adopted, Mr. — Denver had eotered upon the duties of his office, and had ¥ issued a proclamation urging the peaceful adjustment of differences. It seems probable that the Free State men w decline to take any part in the election for State officers, which takes place under the Lecompton Constitution on the 4th of January, in order to have control cof the State . Government in case Kausas should be admitted. It was’ ° rumored that some fighting had taken place in the territory, and several men killed, ss ’ Official despatches from the Utah Army were received | yesterday by the War Department, confirmatory of the © y intelligence telegraphed from St. Louis, and published a few days since, The despatches are dated November 5; Colonel — Johnston writes that Colonel Smith, with the numerous — trains under the protection of his command, joined bim at Black Fort on the 34 of November.

The} Sepoys were travelling on elephants, of which fourteen were | counted, and were also escorted hy twenty-five Sowars, who | hovered some time about the carriages. As soon as this cavalcade was perceived, the carriages turned back, and re- traced their steps for ten miles till they came up with a bullock train party. This accounts for the delay in the Commander- in-Chief’s arrival. You may imagine how excited people becume here, when with the non-arrival of Sir Colin, it be- came known in the afternoon that the electrie communication was interrupted. It is not to be denied that, to use a com- mon phrase, the Commander-in-Chief was nearly * nabbed.” The party was travelling without escort. FRANCE,

Another reduction of 1 per cent in the Bank of France has taken place. ‘The rates now stand at 6, 7 and 8 per cent for bills of 30,60 and 90 days to run. It is stated that France intends strictly to avoid any interference in the Holstein dispute, which she is willing to consider as merely federal and confined to Germany, if the Germans themselves treat it in that way. The condition of the Bank of France continued to improve. Trade in Paris is far from being in a satisfactory state. The journeymen printers of Paris, remembering that Mayence was the birth place of Gottenburg, the inventer of printing, have got up a subscription among themselves for the sufferers by the late catastrophe. Grain was falling in price in France. It is positively stated that

In Paris the Spectator and Saturday Review newspapers were seized on the 6:h, for some irreverent remarks upon Count de Morny’s speech to the Legi-lature.

Lucien Bonaparte, nephew of the Emperor, after some years’ as a deacon, has just been promoted to priestly orders ut Rome—another step towards the triple tiara.

The Paris correspondent of the London Morning Post says that the difficulties between Spain and Mexico were again assuming » more pacific aspect, and the Paris corres.

of peace. The same lctier says that the anticipations respecting the approaching dissolution of the Spauish Court seem likely to be fulfilled.

SARDINIA.

The session of the Sardinian Legislature was opened on Monday, the 14th, by a speech from the king. His Majesty expressed a hope that the chambers would co-operate with the Government. It was a Government which, like the old one, was devoted to liberal aad progressive principles, He regretted to say that the interruption of diplomatic relations with Austria had not been mended, but it did uot affeet the commercial intercourse between the two countries. With respect to finance the king believed that an equilibrium would be possible with great economy. A loam would be required pfor promoting important projécted improvements, The lezis-

Colonel Johnston has no doubt of the hostile intentio s of the’ Mormons, and their determination not to acknowledge the . authority of the United States. Among the documents transmitted by Colonel Johaston are two letters from Brigham Young to him, with defiance and threats,

Advices from Mexico announce General Comonfort’s assumption of the Dictatorship. It is to be hoped that the insurrections and tumults that have reduced Mexico to her. present deplorable condition wiil now be suppressed.

The steamship Empire City arrived at this port with later intelligenee from Havana. Tne Empire City reports that the U. S. Sioop-of-war Saratoga, from Greytown, with Walker’s men, put into Havana on the 231 inst. for supplies. — The Fashion was also at anchor in the same port.

The New York Express says :—

“Tf the Wasbington messages are correct, the ‘ Federal Authorities’ do not intend to puzzle much about the mere ' ‘law’ of the proceeding. Secretary Cass gives out thet a Commodore Paulding’s orders were —to prevent Walker's landing, and not inteuded to be so constructed as to justify him in following bim up, and arrs.cing him on foreign terri tory. The probabilities are, therefore, that the Commodore will ~ summoned home to encounter the ordeal of a courte wartial,”

From tue Utan Exezpition.—Sr. Louis, Dec. 23,—An express bas just arrived at Leavenworth, from the Utah expedition, bringing information that the whole force, with the exception of Col. Cook aad his command, aad concen- trated at Black's fort, aud were moving towards Fort Bridger. Their progress was very slow—oaly 2 or 3 miles a day bei sometimes made. The animals were giving out hourly, and it was thonght that all would perish this winter. , supply trains were all up with the military, and provisions were abundant. The report that two companies of infantry had met with reverses on the route to Utah is without foundation. Five companies of Col. Sumner’s regiment, the i cavalry, had recently takeu up winter quarters at Fott

Several were wounded on both sides, and 20 Free State men were taken prisoners and confined in the fort. :

The Missourians were assembled in strong force on the border, and more fighting was apprehended.
