and properties of the inhabifints.’”” The Company has ever since kept its promise faithfully, preserving, at whatever in- convenience to itself, the territory of Oude free alike from foreign invasion and intestine commotion. But the pledge ysiven by the ruler of this protected country has been, from first vo last, deliberately and systematically violated.

(From the London News of the World, March 30.) THE CONFERENCES AT PARIS.

The latest rumours from Paris intimate that the business of the Congress proceeds ata rapid pace. There is, we be- lieve, no doubt whatever that we rapidly approach a pacific solution of the Eastern question ; but for the terms on which the Western Powers consent to lay down their arms we must be content to await the formal publication of the articles of peace. Whether they contain a full and sufficient guarantee against the disturbance of the repose of Europe by Russia, and provide, as they unquestionably should, for the intro- duction ‘of political changes, and the freedom of those great commercial Riedevane heretofore controlled by that power, we thall soon see. One difficulty in the way turns on the terms

pon which Prussia will be admitted to sign the treaty. ja would be much pleased to have Prussia in the Con- fress on the same footing as the other Powers, as she hopes

cover her prestige in Germany, and attach Prussia to her more firmly than ever. Besides, she corsiders she owns a debt of gratitude to Prussia for fidelity to her throughout. Tn Paris the point is not considered as one of importance— certainly not important enough to retard the great work of Peace. The difficulty may he viewed in another light else- where, but, whatever be the importance it really deserves, it suffices to retard the solution all so earnestly desire. The term of the armistice is rapidly approaching, and something must be known forthwith.

—

LATEST PARTICULARS.

Our latest accounts from Paris, received at the moment of Bolng to press, are to the effect that everything will be arranged

fore Monday. The Pienipotentiaries meet every day, and are understood to be on the eve of closing their labours.

itis said that the Prussian difficulty has beem got over. the arrangement is that the allies shall sign one protocol and

| transfer of his dominions to the Company, with the assurance of an ample provision for himself and his family. To this pro-

osition he declined to give his assent. Therefore, the. treaty | having been cancelled, one of two things remained to be done by the British Government—either it must abandon the people of Oude to a blank and miserable future of never-ending tyran- ny and oppression, or it must put forth its strong arm to relieve them, and assume to itself once and for ever the management of their country. It has adopted without hesitation the latter alternative ; wherefore it now makes proclamation that the government of the territories of Oude is henceforth vested ex- clusively in the Hon. East India Company.

The territory thus newly acquired covers, it is said, an area of 24,000 square miles, with a population of between 3,000,000 and 4,000,000. General Outram is appointed to act as Chief Commissioner of the province, and the deposed King is to be allowed a pension of £150,000 a year. No outbreak on the part of the aren is anticipated in consequence of the an- nexation. far, all has been happily effected. But when are these unwelcome extensions of territory to cease? There now remains in India but one native State of any considerable magnitude—that of Hyderabad, in the Deccan ; and even this State is already tottering beneath the misrule of its native chief. How many years—nay, how many months—will elapse before we shall hear that Hyderabad also has become an in- tegral part of the British possessions ?—~News of the World, March 23.

Tae Misstno Sreamsute Pactric.—The belief im the safety

f this vessel is becoming daly more extinct. Three months that if it were brought about by her influence she would re- fp eiberspe ee

have elapsed since she left the Mersey, and no tidings have since been heard of her. The impression is that she must have struck an iceberg and gone down, we will not say with all on board, as he: life boats were sufficient to hold all the passengers and crew, and some of them may have been picked up by some passing vessel. ‘The past winter has been one of unusual severity on the Atlantic, and to add to the dangers of the tempest, the track usually followed by vessels bound to and from Europe has been impeded much earlier than usual by immense quantities of ice.

The Pacific sailed from Liverpool on the 234 of January, before «uy ice had been reported, and it is thought that she reached the lat. of 47 o, lon. 46, about the 28th, where she would have encountered the ice. The New York Courier says, that the Persia, which sailed three days after the Pacific, struck the ice on the 31st Jan., in lat. 46, lon. 46. That encounter was not witbout peril. Thesteamship Edinburgh

reported that “on the 7th of February, in lat. 46 387, lon. 45 43, at 4 P. M., passed two oak doors, the knobs of which appeared to be white ; also two windows with Venetian blinds, and a work box ; and at the same time saw several pieces of wrecked stuff.” This position is also indicated on the chart (marked F.) Bearing in mind that the Pacific would have steered for a point of latitude and longitude not more than oe or forty miles distant from the place in which this wreck was seen, and that she probably reached that desired point ten days prior to the 7th of February, that she then certainly and unexpectedly encountered masses of ice, and it leaves scarcely a doubt that the Pacific was lost on or about the 28th of January, between the parallels of 46 and 47 of latitude, and 45 and 46 of longitude.

This is the third Atlantic steamer that has never been heard of. On the 11th March, 1841, the President sailed from New York with thirty passengers, and no one on board ever lived to tell her fate. On the 19th March, 1854 the City of Glasgow sailed from Liverpool for Philadelphia, with more than four hundred sou!s on board, and has never been heard heard of. She, too, is believed to have been destroyed by ive, for in that year there were wore vessels that reported ice than had ever been known before. Ice is the great enemy which ships propelled by steam have to fear, and no form of construction seems to afford security—The President was without compartments, the Pacific was partially provided with bulkheads, while the City of Glasgow was perfectly divided by watertight bulkheads.

Remankaste [xcipent at Sea.—The ship Wisconsin, Capt. Scott, from Havre, at New York, met with the following unusual phenor~-~-—

The shipy YioxnWas lat. 37. 30 N., lon. 80.40 W. Temperature of “Water, 69 o, air 280 Fahrenheit. The weather dark and lowering, with sharp lightning, and baro- meter falling fast ; ship under double reefed topsails, foresail and jib. At 2 A, M. commenced blowing bard, with heavy rain and sleet. At 2. 30 A. M., while shortening sail, an immense ball of fire struck the main-royal mast head, and then fell on the main hatch, where it exploded with tremendous force, filling the deck with fire and sparks, with continued explosions of the particles like detonating powder of torpedoes. Owing to the ice, sleet, and snow, with which the decks, bul- warks, rigging, and sails were covered, the fire was soon extinguished. About 10 minutes afterwards a second ball struck near the same place, but was driven by the force of the wind just clear ofthe ship’s side to leeward, when it exploded with a loud report and great commotion. There were several men furling the jib at the time, and the concussion was so great that it lifted them nearly clear of the boom. The tor- nado lasted all next day and night, from N. W. by N. The air very cold and water 69 deg., causing an immense exhalation from the Gulf, which congealed as soon as it rose, and was driven furiously over the ship, excluding the very light of day. One of the crew was knocked down and stunned. The mate was blinded by it, and probably will not recover the sight of both eyes. [lad it not been for the ice, sleet and rain which deluged the ship, there can be no doubt but that she would have been on fire from the truck tothe water. The fore top-sail was blown out of the bolt-rope, and the royal mast head seared as it were with a red hot iron, being all the damage the ship received, which to say the least, was very providential.

Miutixer & Co's Paxnorama.—We understand that Messrs. Millner, Murphy and Chappell leave Charlottetown this week fora tour of the Provinces, where they intend to exhibit during the ensuing summer their admirable Panorama of the Russian war. .We were tco closely engaged while it was on exhibition here, to enjoy a good opportunity of seeing it, but what we did see, during a short period of one evening, filled us with admiration of the talent and ingenuity displayed by our fellow-townsmen in preparing such a work of art. The

-anorama on exhibition here last summer could bear no com- parison to the work produced in this City, and the citizens of Charlottetown manifested their high appreciation of its merits, by crowding to the Temperance Hall on every night it was ex- hibited there. We sincerely trust that our enterprising artists will be liberally encouraged by our fellow Colonists abroad.

MEETING AT TATAMAGOUCHE.,

A large and influential meeting of the inhabitants of this place met at the Grammar Schoolhouse on Saturday, the 12th instant, at 7 o’clock, p. m., for the purpose of taking into consideration what facilities this port affords for the landing of mails and passengers from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, en route to Halifax. Mr. Williamson being called to the chair, and Mr. Archibald Campbell appointed Secretary, the following Resolutions were unanimously pi

Resolved, That this meeting has heard with much pleasure that the Government of Prince Edward Island have it in con- templation to establish mail communication with Nova Scotia by way of this port, and consider that it is for our interest to co-operate as far as in our power in the carrying out of this project.

Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting a more frequent, aney and safe communication can be earried on between Noya Seotia and Prince Edward Island by way of Tatamagouche than by any other port in Nova Scotia, the dis- tance by water being such as to render easy a daily com- munication to and from the Island, while the distance by land hence to Halifax will be materially shortentd, thus rendering the establishment of such a line of vast importance to the people of both Colonies.

Resolved, That in the event of an arrangement being com- pleted by which mail communication is established between this port and Charlottetown, every facility should be afforded for the landing of mails and passengers, by the erection of a suitable wharf, to which access can be had at all times of tide, and also for the conveyance of passengers hence by the es- tablishment of an efficient and comfortable stage line to Truro.

Resolved, That a committee be appointed to correspond with

rties in Charlottetewn in order to ascertain the views of the

overnment of the Island on the’ subject, and, if necessary, to correspond with the members of the Legislature for the County and District, with the view of procuring legislative aid for the purpose of erecting a sufficient wharf, and to re- ceive subscriptions for that object, and otherwise generally to forward by all means in their power the establishment of a a direct line of communication hence to Charlottetown.

Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in two or more of the Prince Edward Island newspapers.

After which a subscription was entered into, at which about one hundred pounds was subscribed for the purpose of carrying out the views therein contained.
