And our Committee of arrangements, in view of this dis- appointment arising from an unavoidable deten- (ion on the road; and in compliniciit to the friends who were so anxious to be present at their festive celcbration,mude imniedate pre- aration for another public entertainment on griday. Bro. James Gordon, \V.P.. generously ermitted the decorations and arraugeinents in is spacious new house, to remain undisturbed : in fact, the Ladies and all concerned. exempli- ﬁed a cordial emulation to provide accommoda- tions and comforts. that displayed a remarkable improvement in the taste and skill exhibited in the garniture of the tables so sumptuously fur- ished on the preceding occasion.

The intellectual department of the entertain- ment was strikingly interesting and instructive. In the absence of the Grand Worthy Patriarch and his Rev. Deputy. Mr. Knox, the committee cent a special invitation to Mr. Arbuckle, who was on the duties of his mission in a neighbor- ing district, as they wished to secure his servi- ces in conducting the meeting. Ilia address was, as usual, appropriate. and interspersed with amusing remarks in reference to the for- mer meeting, and the accidental occurrences which gave additional interest to this unex- pectod renewal of festivities.

Several young men delivered stirring speeches and the alternations of temperance melodies by the vocal choir under the direction of Bro. John H‘Millnn, was decidedly the most gratifying attraction of the Soiree. The audience chiefly -consisted of the youth of the district, assembled to testify their courteous consideration of the guests, and the Fete bein of a complimentary character, arising from t e emer no of un- foreseen circumstances, the admission to the

table: was free, 70 persons availed themselves of

the privilege. The visitors expressed their a - preciation of the generous attention to their comfort in every respect.

This descriptive sketch is intended as a cup- plement to the Report of the D.G.W.P., who is ncnlousl-y devotingindefatigable efforts to ct-ea to and cultivate a taste for intellectual pursuits among all classes in this community, by a va- xicty ofjudieious expedients.

In this settlement. as elsewhere, during the neuron of festivities, slung drink was deemed an ind’ age at social entertainments. Festive drinking in friendly company is a con- tsgious, pernicious example to youth, and en-

_ genders habits of intcniperancc. We therefore wish to avail ourselves of ur columns and circulation to hear our humb c testimony, that

the motion on the subject of temperance laid by liiiu on the Presbyter ‘:3 table at the former meeting, had been read iy the Clerk, as follows : “ That this Presbytery considering the extent of, and incalculable evils arising from the truf- iic in intoxicating liquors. and that any mea- sure, howcver beneﬁcial, falling short of the total suppression of the traﬂic, cannot be com-

ly urge upon all their people to abstain from all use of intoxicating liquors except by medical advice, and heartily to support petitions to the Legislature to prohibit the traffic by legal ciiactments."-—Mude several pertinent remarks as to the evils resulting from the use of intoxi- cating liquors, and the other members of the Proebytcrylasiiig expressed their opinions in favor of sup, l< ssing the traiiic in intoxicating liquors, the motion was unanimously agreed to. The Presbytery at the same time resolved, that they, as a court, petition the Assembly of this Island, to bring before the members, the sin in- volved in conntenancing and cncoura ing the traffic in intoxicating drinks: And furt er, the Presbyter , in view of their own duty and res- ponsibilities to the head ofthe church and to the people committed to their care, enjoined the members and Mr. M‘Kenzie, the Probationer, now labouring at Charlottetown, to preach specially on the subject to the congregations within the bounds, on an early day. The Pres- bytery also urged upon Sessions the necessity of watching over the subject of temperance, as to its working and effects in the congregations.

An ad'ourned meeting of the Grand Division was hel here on Thursday the 17th January. Several members were initiated, and important subjects discussed in connection with the means in progress to obtain the voice of the cop (the source qfpoiocrj suppression of the iquor traffic.

The members ofthe " Diamond of the Desert" presented a requisition to the G.W.P., J. W. Morrison. Esq.,—to preside at the meeting to be held in the evening under their auspices, when by special invitation, the itev. C. or- nett, Ba tict Minister, delivered to a respect- able uu itory, the prominent propositions of the address on “ Character," lately discoursed in the city, and successfully sustained the re a- tation for earnestness and eloquence for which he is proverbial,—more especially on temper- nnce uestions.

On the day just mentioned, a procession was formed of about 100 men, headed by the three gentlemen above named P cecding from the yard to the Village, they called upon the parties who formerly were engaged in the trade, and quietly request- ed them to remove their Sign-Boards, and discontinue this part of their occupation; which we are happy to say, as good Loyal Subjects, they consented to do.

Everything was peaceable and orderly, and after giving three cheers for the Queen, and three more for the Maine Law, the procession dispersed.

We cannot help saying a word in com- mendation ofthe men who have thus shown an example which is really praiscworthv. hey have shown themselves true British Subjects by declaring their obedience to the Laws of the Country. They have shown themselves men of decency and common sense, by resolving to pend their mpriey for the purpose of making their fa- milies comfortable and happy. And they have shown it proper regard to the interest and prosperity ofthe employer, by devoiin their whole time and energies to their legi- timate purpose.

Success to Mr. McMorran, and success to the noble hearted men in his employment —tliey have done their duty as good citi- zens nnd Loyal Subjects, and they will be rewarded.— Wesliuorlaml Times.

l Tun ENLISTIINT Arrsia.—'l‘be following from lthe Washington letter of the New York Courier andlbt irer, we apprehend, will be fooiid to be [about the state of the negotiations as regards Mr. ,Crsmpion and his connection with the enlistment cases :— “The last despstch of Lord Clarendon upon the ‘Enlistment. cases, was a very long and very ablc argument. Ilis rdnliip admitted, with com- mendable frankness, that the conduct of the . British Minister and Consuls in this matter had been in violation of our Municipal law, and their .Governmenl apologised for it. But the Minister ' went on to represent that Her Majesty's Govern- ‘ merit could not recognize the course ofthcir agents ' in the United States as a violation of nolionollmc, which alone, the admitted offence having been , stoned for, could authorize the demand for the } recall of Mr. Crampton; and Lord Clarendon ,statcs the he is instructed to request the Govern- ltneiit of the United States to reveivv its position. ' "On the 5th instant, Mr. Marcy forwarded a lvery elaborate reply to this point respecting inter- !nstionsl law, declaring the explanation of Lord ; Clarendon iiiiutisfsciory, and ft-‘pt sting the dc- lrnnnd relative to recall. This ilespatch will, in my ‘judgment, urently prolrnct the correspondence; bus : I still consider it settled that Mr. Crsmptnu will _' be utimntcly recalled or dismissed.” l That war will lollow a rupture of diplomatic 'relaiions bciwcrn England and the United States .‘ we cannot for I moment permit ourselves to be- llicvc. though we apprehend that the present sd-_ jministniion. in the hope of mniiufscttiiing popu- lsiity at home, and diverting Iltetilioti from its past evil deeds, would be willing to push the country to the very verge of war. But this would be a vain hope, for the people ufthc United States will not sustain an administration vihicli shown , ouch vindictiveness as to refuse to recivu an apol- ogy for an admitted wrong, and to acknow- ledge satisfaction when reputation has been oifcrcd.—Bosloa Journal Jun. 21.
