Tardy Recognition.

Some of the English papers are right- eously indignant over the tardy national recognition of English genius. Strange to say, the highest honour that Germany offers to such men was extended to three notable Englishmen, viz. , Laudseer, Carlyle, vend Darwin. Britain that other countriee should be the first to recognize in an honourable way the genius of Englishmen. There is no doubt that if the great man be descended from humble parents, the national honours come very slow. Cerlyle and Darwin go down to the grave unlaurelled. W. Chambers, the great publisher, was offered one of the lowest of rational honours, when he attain- ed the age of eighty. Such facts show plainly the drift of aristocratic and political influences in England. Politicians are ex- alted early enough ; noblemen are pushed up the ladder with surprising rapidity ; but it will bea long time before either politician or nobleman of to-day will wield an influence as important or lasting as that of Carlyle and Darwin.

Letter on the Irish Question.

Dr. Jenkins’

His letter shews that the sentiments of Dr. Jenkins towards Ireland and [Irishmen are not such as were attributed to him, no doubt undera misconception, by a corres pendent of Tags Examiner. . The intimate connection both political and personal that has always existed between Dr. Jenkins and the Irishmen of Charlottetown and the country generally is well koown, and should have been sufficient to preclude the idea that he holds feelings antagonistic to them. That the contrary is the case is clearly proved by his letter to the President of the Land League, the principal part of which was composed seme months before the hastily written one, taken exception to by ‘‘Trishman,” was penned.

The cruel and odions assarsination of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burke, by bleod-thirsty fiends in human shape, the worst enemies of the country they pretend to serve, makes the advice to the friends of Ireland contained in Dr. Jenkins’ letter, just now practically appropriate.

The Newfoundland Raiiway. SHORT ROUTE LINE TO EUROPRE—THE SYNDI- CATE BONUSED WITH CROWN LANDs.

On Saturday night the Newfoundland House of Assembly passed an Act incor- porating the Great American-European Short Line Railway. Large and important concessions were made to the Company. They receive from the Newfourdland Gov- ernment 5,000 acres of select Crown lands for every mile of railroad they construct. They are conceded the exclusive monopoly of the country for railway purposes fur 45 years, and are toenjoy during that term immunity from taxation on all material re- quired for railway construction. The question of an annual subsidy to the Company or endorsement of their road bed bonds to the extent of $3,000,000 has been left to the constituencies, as the current term is the last of the existing Legis- lature, and the generai election takes place inthe autumn. The new railway syndicate is composed of New York and London capitalists. The object of the Company is to establish more rapid, safe, and certain communication between America and Europe across Newfoundland. The outline of the scheme is the construction of a railroad from the most eastern point of the Newfoundland coast across the Island to Cape Ray. The western terminus will connect by steam ferry with the railway from Cape North over the Island of Cape

A man has been arrested at Milford Haven, whose appearance corresponds to the description of one of the murderers. [t is surmised that he crossed over by a steam wackerel beat. He refuses to give an account of himself. THE NEW SECRETARY,

The appointment of Mr. Tres elyn is favourably received by the Irish party. Mr. Trevelyan holds advanced opinions, and it is believed he sympathizes with the

popular party in Ireland. MESSAGES OF SYMPATHY.

Mr. Gladstone announces the receipt of a flood of coanmnunications from every part of the kingdom, expressive of horror and in- dignation at the assassinations. He says it is only just to state that none are more remarkable for fervour and sincerity than a large number from all parts of Ireland. Be wishes to express his sense of the genuine feeling shown by the communications, and his pereonal thanks for the sympathy mani- fested.

ATTACKING THE PARNELLITFS.

The London Times continues energetic. ally to attack the Parnellite members oi Parliament. It says :—‘* It is morally im- possible to enter into an waderstanding with those who denounce outrage for the first time when they feel it cripples their positions. Though they profess to nego- tiate in the House of Commons for the bloodthirsty element of the Irish people, they are only powerful to excite disaffec- tion. They cannot diminish the malignance of a whole ciass who wallow in blood like beast of prey.”

The impression prevails at Cork that O'Donovan Rossa’s agents killed Lord Cavendish ard Mr. Burke,

DAVITT’S OPINION. Michael Davitt ha@ written to the Stend-

' prietors required to enter into recogniztn ces j not | compel the attendance of witnesses about | to abscond. | additional police where necessary at the cust

ard on the assassinations. After expres in

language since the terrble murders, h says: ‘‘I would feel that I was neglectin; my duty if I permitted your remarks to pass unanswered for the opinion you ex- press of the sincerity of my condemvuation of the murders, and for your belief that Parnell, Dillon, and myself, are guiltless of alliance with the assassins. Iam thankful, in answer to the Standard’s request, to come forward and niake a clean breast of infor mation that would throw light on, the murderers.’ Davitt recalled the fact that he came out of Portland Prison at 3 o'clock on Saturday, p.m., after having been con- fined in solitude for fifteen months with- out a newspaper or a letter that did not pass through the hand of the Governor of the prison. He rebuts the implication that he and other Leaguers must possess information that would enable the authori- ties to track the assassins. He declares that Parnell ard Dillon cannot lend any more assistance in bringing the assassins to justice than that given in their Manifesto. Mr. Davitt refers Mr. Forster to a speech that he (Davitt) made before his arrest in which he predicted the, accumulation of crime that would result from the policy Forster was pursuing and holds him res ponsible before God.” WHO INSTIGATED THE CRIME ?

A London despatch to the New York World says:—‘‘ Whoever the murderers were of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burke, they must have been backed by some sort of organization, or the murder

Breton to the Straits of Canso, the straits to be crossed by ferry. The line will traverse the north shore of Nova Scotia and from a junction with the Intercolonial Rail- way, from which connections will be effected with railways communicating with Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Montreal, Chicaze, St. Lonis, and San Francisco. From the east shore of Newfoundland the company will es- tab'ish a live of ten powerful, swift, despatch steamships to connect with the west coast of Ireland. and thence by fast express trains with London avd all continental cities. The mini- mum saving of time between London and New York is estimated at forty-eight hours. The whole sea voyage is reduced to 1,700 miles between these great commercial centres, and the dangerous coast, a thousand miles in extent, between Cape Race and New York is compictely avoided. ‘The company anticipate carrying annually across the Atlautie 200,000 passengers. They are sanguine they will com- pletely absorb the transportation of mails for the Governments of America, Europe, and Asia. Construction will be proceeded with immediately.

Montague Notes.

The ice opened down the river on Tues- day.

The first vessel made her way to the Bridge on Thursday, and this morning the ferry boat brought up Messrs. Welsh & Owen's bark. Unfortunately, she stuck in the mud at low water, a short distance from the wharf, and, in towing her off at high water—in paying out the hawser—the | mate, Thomas LePage, got his leg en-| tangled and his foot was cut off a little | above the ankle. Mr. John J. McDonald | made quick time in bringing Dr. Maclaren, who, assisted by Mr. Gamaliel Gillis, amputated the shattered limb a few inches higher up. At nine this morning the young man is doing well and good hopes are entertained of his recovery. He he- longs to New London. Great sympathy is manifested towards him, and he will not want friends during his stay in our m‘dst.

There is at least one person who can feel for him by practical experience—Rev, J. C. Berrie.

could hardly have been committed as it was. No onein Dublin could possibly have known that he would be walking in the Pheenix Park at seven o’clock in the even- ing of the next day after going through with the inaugural ceremonies of his new office. How, then, did the four men who slew him come to be so thoroughly pre- pared for their work, as they evidently were! They must have been armed to the teeth, and on the lookout for Lord Fred- erick during the whole day, or they must have had scouts watching his movements by whom they were informed of his pres- ence in the park in time to swoop down upon him and his companion, and make an end of both before any sort of alarm could be given. The murders were done in a public place, and in broad daylight, and within sight and call of the official residence of one of the victims. These considera- tions seem to forbid the supposition that the crime can have been perpetrated by isolated and irresponsible persens. It seems to have been the determined ect of men who knew that Irish independence would be more imperilled by the success of a policy of conciliation than by the excesses of a policy of coercion.”

HOW MK. GLADSTONE RECFIVED THE NEWS.

Lonpox, May 8.—Mr. Gladstone was attending a reception at the Anetrian Am- bassador’s when the first news of the assassination came. The telegram was de- livered to Sir William Harcourt, who called Mr, Gladstone to a private 100m, where he informed him of what had oc- curred. Mr. Gladstone’s face becar.e per- fectly ghas'ly, and throwing up both bands he staggered to a scat. For a moment it was thought he would faint, and there was arush for restoratives, but he gradu ally recovered. At first he would not be- lieve the story, but after he became con- vinced he entered a carriage and was driven home. He spent nearly the entire night writing and reading telegrams, dic- tating to his secretary, and forming plans to meet the sivuation. It was six o’clock in the morning before the Premier retired. He was up again at 9 o'clock.

REPRESSION OF FURTHER CRIME.

In the Commons, on the 11th inst , Har- | court, Home Secretary, introduced the bill for repression cf crime in Ireland. The bill provides that in places where ordinary law is not observed, special tribunals con. | sisting of three judges be appointed by the) Lord Lieutenant to try eages without jury. | Judgment of the court must be unanimous. | Appeal can be made to the Supreme Court; judgment of the latter to be given by a) majority of judges.

Secret Societies are to be dealt with summarily and the membership thereof will constitute an offence under this Act. Cases of aggra- vated assault are to be treated in a summary manner.

Harcourt announced that the government intended to reserve for consideration any further alteration of the jury system. He admitted that this bi!l was extraordinary, but he declarc# it necessary to meet the extraordinary circumsiances. The opera- tion of the bill will be limited to three years. The Government would do a'l in their power to prevent innocent persons suffering from its action. He added that the hill placed almost unlimited authority in the hands ‘of the Lord Lieutenant, and concluded by stating that this measure, would shortly be followed hy one dealing with arrears of rent.

Sir Stafford Northcote said the Oppo- sition desired to give the government a!! assistance in their power, but held them responsible for the way in which they dis- charged their duty. Mr. Forster said in his belief force was no remedy ; but it was often necessary and never more necessary than now. John Bright said the bill was not aimed at political opponents, but against crime. Ue declared if he were an wonld rather welcome a measure which would enable the people to pureve their daily duties in confidence that protection would be affurded by the law. Mr. Parnell said he wished to join in expression as to the temperate spirit shown by England during the past few days, but he declared that this spirit was not dis played in the proposed hi!!, which he re- garded as the most stringent ever proposed, and which he said would result in a hun- dred-fold) greater failure than what had

CORRESPONDENCE, —_— eoischintanelinabeaampeticseastntinasneiananiniael ae We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions or statements of our correspondents.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Srr,—Shortly after the dissolution of the House of Assembly my attention was called tou aspeech made by Mr. Alexander Laird in the Legislative Council, wherein he charged me with favoritism in the manage- ment of the Land Office. My time being fully occupied with the elections, I allowed Mr Alexander Laird’s assertions to stand over. I could afford to do this, because no charge resting on the word of a Laird could injure me in the Third District of Queen’s County. Having now a little time at my disposal, J cail upon Mr. Alexander Laird to make his charges in a specific form, and state who is the ‘* disaffected Cunser- vative’ to whom I made a reduction of ‘‘ Thirteen Doilars” and who is the ‘fopponent of the Government” that I cou:pelled to pay more than the uttermost cent.” I promise Mr. Alexander Laird every attention in this matter, and beg to request that anything he has to say on the subject shall be addressed to Toe Exami- NER, a8 I am quite sure you will be happy to publish both sides.

Malgnity Exposed.

T'o the Editor of the Examiner.

Siz,—The stupid malig:.ity of my enem- ies in charging me with ca:,vassing for Mr. Beer in the late contest is folly exposed by the result of the voting. 1 canvassed some eleciors, who were pronounced supporters of Mr. Beer, for their second votes. Every other candidate did the same thing. I have the authority of Abraham Gill, Esq., of Little York, snd William Mutch, Esq., | of Southport, for saying that Mr. Henry Beer solicited their votes. He knew that they were pronounced supporters of mine; but he asked them to give their second vote to himself. If I were as mean as Henry Beer, I would have immediately charged him with canvassing for me.

It would be well for Mr. Beer to explain how it happened that at Covchead, where he was represented by a member of his own family, lees than one-half of his fiiends supported Mr. McDonald.
