With regard to the reception of any new cespatches, our

correspondent knows very well that we do not enjoy tle confidence of the Government, ani cannot positively auswer his question ; but we do think that if the Government had received a word of encouragement from the Colonial Minister on the subject, it would have been proclaimed at every cor- ner in Charlottetown, and cir¢ulated all over the country. since the arrival of the Fnglish Mail. No, no—the Colonial Minister bas weebed lis hands of the whole affair; he has left Sir Samuel Cunard to deal with the question ; it is with him only the gorrespondence can now be taken up; and Sir Samuel if, apparently, so shocked at the presumption of the Legislatdte here, in presuming to propound to him and to the other proprietors terms of settlement with ¢heir tenantry, that he will not deign to reply.

“ A Backwoodsman,.” and others equally interested with himself, may rely upon our keeping the subject of his letter before the public, and on our giving. from time to time, whatever information may come to hand.

THE GOVERNMENT.

— _—— + FINANCIAL POLICY OF Ve observe that the leader of the Adminis'ration has made, in his place in the Legislative Council, a statement quite as erroneous relative to the arrangement with the Bank as that which emanated from one of his colleagues in the Lower House. He suys that * the Bank would allow th Government six per cent. for whatev +r balance should remain in its coffers due to the Government.” Now. it is very well known that the highest interest which the Bank Dirce ory allows apon deposits ix three per ceat., and it is not lik: ly that the Government will be allowed double the amount which private individuals receive. But it is prepostercus t» suppose that the Gove: wment wil} have any interest at all to their credit in the Bank, unless they practise a great dea! mo:e economy than they did last year. They take credit to themselves for having an increase of revenue in the last year, to the amount of £7000; but will they please to remember that they have expended four thousand pounds more than their income last year, while they reduced the expenditure on roads and bridges, from what it was the previous year, to the amount of four thousand pounds more. Now, suppose the revenue of 1859 had not been higher than that of 1858 —and the Government have no right to take credit to them- selves for the increase —aud suppo-e the Tories bad granted for the service of roads and bridges as larze an amount as the Libera's did—why, then, after b-ing in power for the short period of twelve months, they would have added fifteen thousand pounds to our public debt—thus making it loom to the respectuble figure of forty-three thousand pounds. When the debt of the Colony was alleged to amount, last year, to £59,000, Without taking credit for Government land, or bonds for the sale of such land, the leader of the Government in the House of Assembly declare! that the contemplation of this melancholy fact p'u ge] him into fits of hypochondri- asis. As four thousand pounds have since been added to the thirty-nine, our sorrowfz! presumption is, that the fits must be more frequent and alarming.

~_e = © THE BLUE BOOK.

The Islander of Friday, referring to our observations of last week on a charge of £55 made in the public accounts for preparing the Blue Brok, -ays that sum “* was paid for dving work which the late Co'onial Seeret ity left undone.” This is a very gross iisrepresentation. Tue late Colonial Secretary could not begin to make up the Blue Book until about March, when all returns at the close of the financial year would oe completed; and as he ret red from office early in April, it was not possible for him to do in one month a work which required several months’ labour. In fact, as Mr. S eretary Pope knows right well, the Blue Book is never wade up until some time in the summer; and formerly several! years were allowed to elapse before the work was even commenced, As Mr. Pupe seems to think that Mr. Coles should have prepared the Blue Book for 1858 before the first of April 1859, will he be good enough to inform us whether in ten days tinve be sha!l have the same work coni- pleted fur 1859, and submit it to the Legislature ?

DEATH OF JOSEPH DINGWELL, Ese.

We deeply regret to learn that our very esteemed friend, Joszru Dixewsut, Esquire, late amember of the House of As- sembly for the second district of King’s County, died at his residence at Bay Fortune in the course of last week. Mr. Dingwell suffered severely from indigestion for several weeks, and his demise was not unexpected. Few men enjoyed in a larger measure than he did the respect and attichment of all who knew Lim, for he possessed those qualities which will ever endear tieir possessor to all men. less walk through life was di-tinguished by a meek and guile- less spirit—by a warm and generous heart, always open as day to melting charity -and by an undeviating practice of all the virtues which should adorn the domestic circle. Mr. Dingwell occupied a seat in the House of Assembly as far back as 1825,—for several years he had withdrawn from the House ; but was again elected in 1254, and occupied his seat down to the close of the last Parliament. He was a warm supporter of the Liberal cause, and never flinched from expressing his opinions ; but in doin: so he gave no offence to any one, and may be said to have passed through his political life, as he did his private one, without an enemy.

Although he died early in the week, his remains were not interred until Saturday last, when they were followed to their final resting place by the most numerous cortege that was ever known to have assembled in King’s County on a similar me- jancholy cccasion: thus bearing testimony to the respect which is due to thememory of an eminently good man.

ee LECTURE ON ST. PATRICK AND THE IRISH.

The lecture of Mr. Begley on the above subject, took place on last evening in the Hail of the C. Y. M. L. [nstitate, and was highly successful. Nearly three hundred persons were in attendance, wo listened attentively to the lecture and the speeches which followed. We have ooly time to notice that the lecturer treated the subject in an able and instructive manner. Hon. Mr. Whelan, Hon. Mr. Coles, and Mr. Archibald McNeill addressed the meeting, and their respective remarks elicited frequent bursts of applause,

Capt. Lobban’s Band performed several fine pieces of Music, |

INDIA. ENTHUSIASM FOR THE CHINA WAR.

We have received Bombay journals dated January 25. “The C.ina expedition,” says the Bombay Gazette, ** now engages all our thoughts in [ndia. A feeling 2p yroaching to cuthusiasm has been excited in favour of the war. Volun- te-ring is going briskly forward, {our latest news from Cal-

eutta informing us that the Lahore Regiment of Light Horse |

has offered its service in addition to the regiments previously named ;, and we have heard words of reprvach uttered against the home authorities on account of letters from head-quarters which confidently assert that tke force proposed to be sent by the Indian Government has been very greatly reduced by the orders from England. It is to be hoped, however, that an army of 15,00U English troops, with 10,000 or 12,000 French, will be quite sufficient to bring the Chinese to reason. The only danger is of certain eventualities (that long and awkward word) of which the possibility of a collision with our allies Joes not least occu,y the attention of politicians. On this side of [ndia some dissatisfaction is caused by the intimation that the two Bombay native regiments, now under orders, are only to garrison Canton, and must not hope to go to the front.” The Governor-General has issued an order ‘for the formation of a corps of irregnlar cavalry for service in China. Sir Jung Bahadoor, who at the last rendered valuable services in routing the rebels from Nepaul, has received a /maguificeot acknowledgement from our Government in the 'thape of a territory 240 miles long ani 40 miles bread, fer which he has given us in return about 5,0U0 reel Sepoys, and 27 or 28 rebel chiefs, ——_---+ ee —— THE NEAPOLITAN CRISIS.
