THE FISHERY RESERVES BILL. | Wo understand that intelligence was received here by the Mail, on Friday last, that the above Bull was, or would be, ‘disallowed by Her Majesty. The object of the uteasure was, ‘as our readers are aware, to prevent proprietors of land from ‘exacting rents for Jands set apart for Fishery Reserves, and vested in the Crown, and to which it is clear the proprietors have no equitable claim. We suppose we may learn by-and- bye, when the Legislature shall mest, the wise reasons which ‘induced the Secretary of State to recommend the disallow- ‘ance of this Bill; and we hope that, at the same time, the House of Assembly will, at least, take some decided action with the view of calling the attention of the people and Par- liament of Great Britain to the injustice of allpwing our local legislation to bo frustrated, in the manner it so frequently is, _ by ignorant and irresponsible functionaries at the Culonial Office.

No one could blame him for indulging his bellicose propensities if he had manliness enough first to throw up his office. But he wanted to retain the paltry employment, and at the same time to kick against his employers.

THE REVIVAL. Tur following remarks having been submitted to us by a

retestant friend, we deem it right to give them publicity, space to doctrinal controversy. Our excuse in this instance must be the great notoriety which has attended certain pro- ccedings in one of the dissenting Churches of this city. Our correspondent contends that the conduct of those who seem to be under the influence of strong religious feeling or excitement is nvit erin keeping with Scriptural authority nor reconcilable to the life and tenets of John Wesley; but he shall speak for himself; and if any of our readers desire tu controvert his views, we have no objection to open our columns to @ short,

fair, and temperate discussion :—

da dictatorial '

Mr. Eviror,—! beg to eall attention through your coluins to a letter published in the Provincial Wesleyan, a Halifax paper. This letter ix dated at Charlottetown, and was written by a person called Dr. Palmer. It describes the “ revival” here, as it is termed; and although the letter is somewhat lonz, I select only two passages for the consideration of in- telligent and right-thinking Christians, and on them I will mike a few observations. ‘The first extract is as follows :—

‘+ Here local preachers, class readers, yea, and brethren of the travelling ministry also, have prostrated themselves in humility before God, and have sought the full baptism of fire, and have not sought in vain.”’

The second extract is contained in a postscript to the letter, and is as follows :—

‘The Secretary of the Meeting reports 260 justified. We think not less than 100 have been wholly sanctified, but the number has not been reported.”

Now, let any of your readers turn to the third chapter of St. Matthew’s Gospel, and commence to read at the fourteenth verse ; they will there find that St. Jolin the Baptist, speaking of the baptism which he, the forerunner of the Redeemer, was sent to dispense to mankind says—‘‘ 1 baptise you with water unto repentance, but He that cometh after is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear. He shall baptise you with the Holy Ghost and with fire ’’ Now, here was baptism looked forward to, which neither the Baptist, the Evangelists, nor any of the Apostles presumed to approach: ‘* He ’’ (the blessed Redeemer) ‘shall baptise you with the Holy Ghost and with fire.’”’ his baptism was to be the gift of God alone. But Dr. Palmer says that certain parties here haye sought the baptism of fire, **and have not sought in yain.”” We under- stand who are said to be the recipients of this gift, but as to/ who is the donor, much is left to conjectare. St. John the’ Baptist was especially sent to baptise with water. Who has been sent to baptise with fire! [8 Dr. Palmer to do the sacred

fice? I well know that many will shrink from the supposi- tion, and say that they have obtained it in a spiritual sense by their faith and their contrition—that it requires no agent to bestow it. But if this were the received opinion, how is it that Dr. Palmer & Co. know on whom it is bestowed? How is the account kept, so that he is enabled in his postscript to say that there are 260 justified and 100 wholly sanctified? If he can see the hearts of men, and in that respect know the coun- sels of the Almighty—whem he receives and whom he rejects

Sir,—In looking over the Protector of last Wednesday,” the 3d inst., we are informed that a Publie Meeting took: place at New Glasgow similar to the one on Donnybrook Fair Day, in order to sympathise with another dismissed” Postinaster.

I am of opinion that the few-who came to the meeting, were of the same stamp with those. whose names were at. tached to the Requisition for convening the aforesaid Donny. brook Fair day meeting (Politiea! Alliance Men.) If 89," the sympathy and coudolence could haye been expressed in the Hall, and conveyed to those fuuctionaries, with less incon. venience to the country.

I believe that all persons holding office under any Govern. ment, and believing that that Government are going astray, and that they could not conscientiously support it, but would rather endesvour to supercede them, those Officers should: immediately risign, or at least not complain when their ser. vices were dispensed with.

Tantia Toupee’s spies stumbled on Park’s force within 20 miles of Kotarea on thy very night of the defeat, and their reports s> frightened this partisan that he gave wu) a p'an for striking the Chumbul by the Mundesore road, and fled rapidly to the northward, making no halt till he reached Bhee!warra, and placed 40 miles of ground between himself and any pursuing force. Thenee, taking an abrupt turn to the south-east, he marched over the hilly country that separated him from the Chumbul, crossed in six or seven days no less than six rivers, and, passing throug’ Rattenzhor, struck the foed of Tunboorn in time to avoid pursuit. Col. Park to imercept him, had marched back to and past Neemuch. But he only reached the Ghant in time to see the enemy safe on the orher side, and fearle~s of molestation. because of a freshet in the river. General Michel’s detachment from Mhow, seut out in the hopes of meeting the rebels near Mundesore, had of course not found them. ‘Tantia Topee, being now secured by the deep river in his rear, leisurely made his way across the hills, eaterel the valley of the Kalei Suid, and on the 27th of, August appeared before Jhalra Pattun, a large and wealthy city, of which Sir John Malcolm makes the most bonourable mention. ‘The cowardly or disaffected troops within the place resiste!] for a moment, ouly they pas-ei over to the evemy, wh» thus became possessed of 40 pieces of new artillery, ammunition.an] provisions of war tu a considerable amount. ‘The wealthy bankers of the place were fived 10 lacs of ru ees ; the Ranaor chief was put to flight, and Neva Sahib proclaimed in due form. ‘Tantia Topee, too wily to remain in a position in which he might have to stand a siege, abandoned the idea of relucing Gagroue, a strong fort,, two miles distant, which refused t» open its gates, and left Jbalra with his guus and treasure on the Lst of September.

RAVAGES AND PUNISHMENT OF RUMMUNT SINGH AND PUNJAB SINGH.

In the Banda districts the remains of a large force re- cently dispersed by Whitlock’s division still lurked and com- mitted a great deal of havoc, under the orders of Rummunt Singh and Punjab Singh. A force under Brigadier Carpen- ter encountered a large gang-under the first of these chiefs in the Tirowan country ; 36 of the cuemy were killed. lium- munt Singh was shot through both legs, and 60 men were wounded. Her Majesty's 43rd behaved extremely well on this oceasion. Punjab Singh lay on the Jumna, between the Chillatora Ghaut and Allababad, where he was attacked, of the 23d of August, by Captain Griffiv, the officer on guard at the Ghat, and driven down the country with some lost. He had, however, only fled from one danger to fal! into a greater one, for Capt. Denneby left Allahabad, crossed the Jumna, surprised aud killed him, with 200 of his followers. Hizher up the right baok of the Jumna similar j/l-fortune attended the rebels, who annoyed Calpee. Brigadier Mac Daff, in garrison there, made a raid against them early in September, and succeeded in destroyisg about 200 men, To the north-west of Calpee, and on the road to Gwalior, the fort of Ludoorghur, which had fallen into the hands of insur- gents, has been recaptured. Between Gwalior and Agra |many partial engagements have been fought with success. | Burhee, at the junction of the Chumbul and Jumna, bas ‘been captured, and the whole country on both sides of the two rivers between Burhee and Dhoipore on the one hand, and Burhee and Etawa on the other, bas been secured from further plunder.
