\ GORRESPONDENT writes: Gf the many houses consumed by the late fire, was one facing on Fitzroy Street, which, in the year 1839, served as an armory and place of drill for the only volunteer militia corps at that time on the Island. This corps were desig- nated the Light Bobs, and commanded by the late Captain Lobbin. Of those who swelled the vanes of that corps, there are living near the city but five, ViZ.: Edward pb. Love, John Secvtt, James B. Pol- lard, Edward Needham and Charles Squires. In March, 1847, a very serious riot at an election in the district of Belfast, Queen's County having occurred, and ail the regular troops of the garrison of Charlottetown being ordered off to quell it; Capt. Lobbin was ordered to occupy and take charge of H. M. stores and garrison during the absence of the regulars.

On Wednesday last the Emerald Branch of the Benevolent Irish Society gave a de- monstration and tea at County Line which was highly creditable to the energy and zeal of the members. At least two thousand people enjoyed themselves on the occasion. Spacious refreshment booths, dancing saloons and other amusements were well patronized and the best of good humor prevailed The day was one of the finest of the season, gentle breezes
blew and a smile of satisfaction beamed on every countenance, old and young. The
orderly, well dressed body of people who met there can well afford to call it a red letter day ina their lives. The beloved parish priest was on the grounds, and entered heartily into the spirit of enjoyment. To the managers, one and all, the people give every praise, It was creditable to all alike, managers and visitors, and Emerald Branch may be reasonably proud of the laurels fresh and green, it has so credit- ably wou. —_——-.——_—_

_and he answered it, but could get no reply.
The Pire Iavestigation. A speeraL MEETING of the Fire Depart- ment to \uake some enquiries into thd late
blaze and transact other business was held us the Ciy Council Chantber last evening.
Almost ali the wardens and a number of citizens Were in attendance. Chief Engin- eer Large presided and the Stipendiary Magistrate assisied in the examination. After the Chief Engineer had related the story of his being alarmed some short time previous to the ringing of the fire alarm, aud his fadure to connect with the central office by telephone, the examination of witnesses were proceeded with. ‘The first called was,
W. B. Morrow, night operator in central telephone otlice. He said : He was first rung up on the night of the conflagra- tion by Mrs. W. D. McKay,who wanted to kuew where the fire was. He did not netiee what o'clock it was at the time, but had since spoken to Mrs. McKay on the subject and she had told him it was some- where before three. About this time the ire bell rung. Hedid not'think it neces- sary to call up the engine houses or the police station + as he thought they would Jhear the fire bell ; for the same weason he did not call up the fire wardens. The Chief Engineer’s bell rang
He then went out to see where the fire ws, and was absent but a few minutes. After he returned he rang up Mr. Urquhart, but no one else.
CHARLES CAMERON, police sergeant, said: Shortly before three o'clock on the morn- ing of the fire a man came to the station, kicked the door and shouted “fire.” I ran out after him. I ran down to Morris’ cor- ner, a short distance from the station, and then ran back to ring the bell. Officer Bradley was with me when I rang the bell. [ rang it first from the lower flat, then went to the upper flat and rang it again. I was in the station when the door was kicked. The reason I was in the station was because | had been on duty almost continuously since the jubilee, and was thoroughly used up from overwork. My feet were blistered and my limbs s0° sore that it was painful to either rest or work. There was only myself and “Officer Bradley on duty. Officer Taylor had been sick since Sunday, and we had todo his duty
in addition to our own. (The police register was here }:oduced.) It shows the time — spent in and
out of the station on Tuesday night and Weduesday morning as follows: From 7 to 9 out; 9 to 10 in; 10 to 2 out; 2to3in; 3 to % out. I will not swear that this entry is correct. I will not swear positively as to the time I came into the station that night, but it would probably be between half-past twelve and one o'clock. Our duties were so hard that they would wear any person out. Ofticer Bradley was with me in the station. [ do not know that the station door was locked, but rather think it was.
Perer Braptey, policeman, testified : The station door was locked when we were alarmed. We were out from ten until a few minutes to one o'clock. The clock struck three when I was crossing the Square, after leaving Cameron ringing the fire bell. Othcer -Taylor had been sick since Sunday. Our duties had been very severe of late, and I felt tired and worn out that night.
This concluded the evidence. The ma- jority of those present appeared to be of the opinion that the policemen were’ much overworked of late, but that this was no excuse for the city being left unprotected, nor for the police registry being falsified.
The Magistrate closely examined the policemen as to the entries in the register, and the time they were actually out on duty, and said that he would look into the matter of the neglect of police duties.
The fire engines were next discussed. Silsby and her good work was highly com- mended; Rollo was condemned for her poor work some of those present comparing her with the watering cart.
Mr. A. D. White, engineer of Rollo, was dismissed from his position. ;
After some further discussion the meet- ing adjourned.

- Bishop Edghill.
The Halifax Herald gives tha follawing short biographical shetch uf Dr. Edghill, Bishop (elect) of Nova Scotia :
** The Rev, J. C, Edghill, D. D., was’ born January 2nd, 1835. He was ordained to the ministry in his 24th year. His first charge was at St. Mark’s, Whitechapel. Thence he was appointed to a chaplainey in the army and in 1879 was stationed in Halifax, where he won the highest respect ot the people and enjoyed the love of the tioops. After serving on other garrisons, he was promoted chaplain- general of the British farces (salary $10,000) and receiyed from the Archbishap of Canter- bury the degree of D, D. Dr. Edghill was also recently appointed chaplain of the Tower. Kidighill .is a thick set man of ordinary height, with clean shaven face. He has a family of one son and daughter. Speak- ing of the new bishop last night, an enthusias- tic personal acquaintance said:—-‘He isa complete Christian gentleman—a_ representa- tive English churchman of the genuine Anglican school, cne who acceptsin its full- ness the wonderful teaching of the 1,500 and more years of existence which the English church has passed through, and one who will | use every effort to make his mother church the | joy of all the earth.” There is very little doubt about Dr. Edghill’s acceptance of the bishopric "
