CHARLOTTETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, TUESDAY, OCTOBER. 21,
The Situation in Europe.
Tue Marquis of Salisbury recently made a ‘‘ disturber’s speech” in which he satd that ‘‘ in the independence and strength of Austria rests the best hope of European stability.” The New York FHerald of the 16th has the following disturbing des- patch :—
** Lonpos, Oct. 15.—Bismarck, during
| his sojurn in Vienna, succeeded in securing
a secret defensive alliance between Ger- many and the Austrian Emperor. jiance is strengly approved of by England. The relations between England and Russia are at this moment almost critical, and the friendly interchanges between the two powers having given away to evidence of diplematic questionings. England has been watching with no little fear the progress of the Russian expedition against Tekke and the possible occupation of Herat has been discussed. Russian journals urge the Czar to extend his territory inte Central Asia down to the Hindoo Koosh, and to seeure Herat. On Monday Schouvaloff had an in- terview with Salisbury. Schouvaloff pro- posed that Russia shall have the western part of Afghanistan, while England shall take possession of the eastern part as far as Hindoo Koosh. Salisbury declined in the most emphatic and even harsh terms, say- ing England would not allow Russia to meddle in the matter. He said the future of Afghanistan would be settled by England exclusively. Salisbury refused to entertain any proposition on the subject. It is be- lieved the representations ef Count Mnun- ster, the German Ambassador, influenced Salisbury’s determined course. Salisbury’s emphatic language is probably based upon the certainty that in the race for Herat the English troops could undoubtedly first reach the goal.”

Commercial Union.
Ir is pleasing to note that the idea of a Commercial Union between Great Britain and her colonies is making way. Mr. Ben- ton, a member of the Dewsbury Chamber of Commerce, called Sir A. T. Galt’s atten- tion to a sentence in his Belfast address, in which he said ‘* he believed Canada would be glad to come to sneh an understanding with their fellow subjects on ilhis side of the ocean as would form a common partner- ship between them.” Sir Alexander in re- ply to Mr. Fenton, wrote as follows :—
‘*You have quite correctly uncerstood my meaning. I think the time has arrived for establishing the trade relations of the Empire on the footing of free trade as nearly as posstble amongst ourselves, with discrimination against foreigners who will not treat us fairly. In the colonies we can- not absolutely do without customs duties on goods, as it forms our principal source of revenue ; but there is no reason why we should not have a much lower rate on Eng- lish than on foreign goods, and this prac- tically gives you the supply of our market, except for such minor articles as we can make at home. A very inconsiderable duty on foreign breadstuffs and cattle would at once benefit the farmers here, and would rapidly people our almost inexhaustable wheat and pasture lands in Canada. These fertile plains will never become manufac- turing districts, and the sooner the poor tenant farmers of England can be induced to occupy them, the better both for them and the home manufacturer.”
—_—_—_— or Or <b +e oe --
Richard's Himself Again.
Sir Richard Cartwright evidently thinks there is a dignity that doth hedge a knight. The London Free Press thus descrices some of his doings in the West :-—
“The so-called ‘grand reception’ of Sir Richard Cartwright at Brussels took the shape of a supper at fifty cents a head. It appears to have been a_ vefv select affair, and attended only .by the aristocracy, and what passed is a dead secret outside of the little favored coterie to which the tickets were limited. The Press was not invited, and the party organist was even omitted from the list ef invitations. There is quite a row over the subject, and much recrimi- nation is indulged on all sides. Another such visit from the noble Knight, and the constituency would, doubtless, be ‘ mixed and muddled’ beyond hope.”

Departure of the Princess.
| Princess Lonise left Quebec on Saturday \in-the Sarmatian. The Sarmatian is the same vessel from whose deck she first caught aglimpse of Canada. She has been at Quebee for several days past being re- fitted for the accommodation of Her Royal ‘Highness. The alterations and fittings, though not perhaps as extensive as might ‘have been cxpected, are, as a whole, |elaborate and becoming the circumstances and occasion. The Princess and suite will occupy the whole of the cabin on the port side of the ship and also the entire half of the saloon. The sleeping apartment of the Princess is richly titted up in French silver grey satin, with curtains and trimmings, together with furniture of blue silk, and the walls are lined and. padded with French silver gray satin, The bed fittings are of ‘the same material, and the carpet, rugs, &c., are of the richest Brussels. The boudoir .wdjoining this apartment is a really gorgeous little room ; about fifteen feet square, and has been put in expressly for the Princess. The walls are lined and padded with crimson satin of the most costly fabric ; the lounges -are covered with the same material, the carpets, rpgs and other appurtenances being made to match. The mirrors, pictures, etc., are of course in perfect keeping with the general rich sur- roundings. Adjoining H. R.H’s boudoir is the sleeping apartment of Lady Sophia Macnamara, appropriately fitted. These three apartments are en suite opening into each other, and are, it is said, gems in their way. Next totheroom of Lady Mac- namara come the apartments of the Hen. Mr. and Mrs. Morton, and Sir Fenwick Williams (six in number), each fitted in elegant style. On the opposite side are fourteen apartments for the servants and minor attendants on the Princess. New bath room. for hot and cold water have been erected. The Sarmatian is command- ed: by ,Capt. Aird, who had the honor of bringin? Her Royal Highness to Canada,

United States’ Finances.
Nothing illustrates the remarkalle in- crease in the general pr.sperity of the United States better than the success with which the funding of the public debt has been accomplished and a very large annual saving in interest wade The result of the funding operations during the past eight years is brieily as follows :—There have been issued of five per centuin bonds $500, - 000,000, of four and a half per centum bonds $185,060,000, and of four per centrum bonds $711,022,000--in all $1,596,022,000, on which the yearly interest is $61,765,880. These bonds have taken the place of $1, 201,455,700 six per cenium bonds (5-20’s) and $194,566,300 five per centum bonds (10-40’s), which have been withdrawn and cancelled, and upon which the yearly inter- est was $81,815,657. The substitution, therefore, has saved the Government $20,- 049,777 a year.
Several of the Epglish religious journals contain very uncomplimentary notices of Dr. Talmage, and are severe in condemna- tion of the grasping and mercenary spirit displayed during his lecture campaign. His lectures appear to have given general dis- satisfaction, and resulted in losses to the parties engaging him, which he has re- fused to recoup, though his agent is stated to have done so in one instance. Papers which have published Talmage’s sermons have lost subscribers and popularity in con- sequence. The affair may have one good result, that of discrediting the system of paying lecturers whose principal attraction is their notoriety, exorbitant fees for ex- hibiting themselves on a platform. The prices paid even to competent and talented speakers is generally beyond all proportion to the value of their services, aud it is time these absurdly high rates were reduced to a common sense and hard pan basis.
Death Or a CENTENARIAN. — George Bear, an aged negro, well known to many in this county, died at his home in the Pine Woods, Kentville, N. 8., on Thursday last. He was quite a celebrated character in his way, and was an authority among the -col- ored citizens on legal matters, thus winning the sobriquet of ‘‘ The Pine Woods Law- yer.” His exact age is not known, but itis believed that it is over one hundred years, for, according to his own recollection, he came here with the Maroons from Jamacia, in June, 1796, and was then a lad of about eighteen, which would make him 101 years of age. A large gathering of the colored population attended his funeral on Satur- | day.—Kenfrille Chronicle.
