It is utterly Impossible, in the space which is allotted to us todetail the incidents of the insurrection which distracts, Spain. A's'we stated in our last number, the Revent has proved Falll‘fl‘. To the utter dismay of his friend; and to the undisguised astonishment of his foes, he has neveir dared backed as he knew he was by the peasantry, to unsheatha, sword. It‘r‘nuy be that the man did not possass the nerve and the ability which the exigency required: it may be that his troops are ill disciplined and worse paid; or it may be as some surmise, that Philippe of France has not forgotteii the pith and efficacy ofthe oracle which ofold was delivered to Philip of Macedon: “ Fight with silver weapons and on will conquer the world I" , y

. FRANCE—.The Paris papers ofTuesday contain no domes- tic news ofimportaiice. The Moniteur contains a royal or- dinance promoting the Prince de Joinville to the rank of Rear Admiral. This ordinance is followed by the marriage act ofthe Prince with the Princess of the Brazils, which was signed on the 31st ult., in the palace of Neuilly, in presence of the royal family, Marshal Soult, M.Guizot, the minister of the Brazils, Baron Pasvuier (Chancellor of France), and the Duke de 'Cazes (Grand Referendary of the Chamber of Peers), acting as the civil officers. We learn from the Jour- nal dos Debuts, that the princess brought her husband, as (lower, first, 1,000,000f. iii specie; secondly, a revenue of 180,_OOOf. arising from Brazilian stock; thirdly, 25 leagues of territory, in the province of Santa Catarina, at the choice of) the prince; fourthly,a yearly income of 26,000f2, together with jewels to the amount of 200,000l2; filthly, a present, from the Emperor ofthe Brazils ol'300,000 Il’ullCS, for her, outfit.

Loss or THE Pecxscs, HULL S'rEAnii-ia, AND F-RIGHTFUL Loss or LlFE.——-AElOlllel‘ appalling steam-boat disaster has taken place, near the place where the Forliirshire was wreck- ed a few years ago, and where the late Grace Darling so ‘lieroically distinguished herself by Saving five lives, at the imminent risk of her own. By the present disastrous oc- currence, no fewer than from fifty to sixty human beings have been suddenly deprived of life. The Pegasus, which ‘has plied between Leith and llull for several years, left ‘Leith harbour on VVednesdey afternoon, the IOth ult., lniv-

ing on board, besides the crew, at least sixteen cabin and about twenty stoerage passengers; but the probability is, 'that the number was greater, for‘ several individuals are rknown to have gone with her whose names do not appear on the list at the company’s oliice. way till iiiid-night; just when the Watch was changed, the -captai11 being on the bridge, taking a look about him before he turned in, she struck on a sunken rock inside the Fern

nowards the shore, but she did not proceed many hundred 'yards when the water rushing in extinguished the fires, mid r’nhnost immediately the vessel sunk. Finding the vessel 'Binking rapidly, there was a rush to the boats, which, it ' would appear, were swamped. Capt. Miller, who is among the victims, had great experience in the navigation ofthe coast, havingr sailed many years as commander ofoue ofthe Leith and London smacks. lle was considered an excel- lent seaman. From all we can learn there must have been about sixty persons on board, including the crew ; and only six of the number have been saved.

Renew or THE Conn TRADE—The most conflicting re- ports respecting the appearance of the outstanding Wheat crop continue to reach us, and it is quite impossible to ar- rive at a conclusion respecting the probable result of the harvest. In inany districts the ear is Said to be unusually short, and towards the bottom badly filled, in addition to Which there are partial complaints of red rust, &c. On the other hand, it is universally allowed that the breadth of land under wheat is greater than was probably ever before known, and in many districtsthe plant is described as in every respect healthy. We tliink,tliercforc, that our former estimate ofabout an average will prove nearly right, should We be foyoredy'ith fine weather for securing the harvest. At present we do not hear ofa single field having been cut, and the season may be reckoned fully a fortnight later than last year.

The rapid rise .which has oflate occurred in the value of

'Wheat has (as we anticipated would be the case) caused increased supplies to be brought forward by farmers, and at most ofthe leading markets held during the week, the re- ceipts have been fully equal to the demand.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. {Received by this Morning’s Mail.)

The London papers of last night contain a Treasury Mi- nute, dated July 25th, which declares that it has come to the knowledge of the government that certain officers in the re- J; venue department oflrelaud have connected themselves with the repeal associations; and it is intimated that unless such ' ofifcers immediately withdraw from such associations, dis- missal will follow the refusal.

pany of“practica| printers,” may not be altogether unsuited to the meridian ofCharlottetown at the present juncture :—

A late number of the Rochester Post contains an admirable ar- ticlc on Ilie “ American Press, what it is and what itought to be." The strictures are severe, but just and merited. It must be ad- mitted that thcre is a lamentable want ofdigiiity in the conduct ofa majority ofthe newspapers with which our country isflooded. This is more particularly the fact among the partizau journals, which for the most purtarc tilled Willi the coarsest tibaldry, abuse. and blackguardism of one another, and especially ol'tlicir po- liiical opponoiils. Il‘tlicse editors are worthy of belief, not a candidate for olficc of any kind but is :1 lit candidate for the peni- tentiary or gallows, and the editors themselves, from the descrip- tion given ol'czich, are no better than so runny thieves and cut- llirnuls. Our city papers, ofluto, have been wanting in much of lho courtesics which belong and should be extended to each. In tlicirjcalousy and rivalry towards one another, they are constantlv offending against the dignity which should always cliarncterizb the tone and sentiments ofthe newspaper. They indulge iii lun- guiigc unbecoming u fish-woman, and do not scruplc to invade the sanctity ofthe domestic liciirth, or rend usundcr the tics of consanguinity, and make bitter and grievous the holiest affections ol'huuiiiu nature. Husbands have been torn from their wives, and iiiolhers from their children, by the tongue ofscandal, false- hood and (-ailuuiuy; yet these things are looked upon with indif- fermion, or us nnitters oftrivial importance, not only by a portion of the prcss, but by many of our inhabitants. Such :1 course of

TO THE EDITOR or THE COLONIAL HERALD.

Sir; I am one who lives in rather an obscure manner in Charlottetown, and but seldom care to avail myselfof a knowledge ol'such things as are legally under the control 01 my superiors, believing, as I proudly and candidly do, that they, especially the Executive Council, are men of ho- norable and upright intentions, though ultra aristocratic iii the main; yet, if left unshackled by the arbitrary caprice of any above them in power, would carry out all the designs intiiusted to their care by the legislature in a legitimate and satisfactory manner. Under such impression, and so far as the disposition of affairs is left to others, I generally keep Silent. But a rumour is afloat, and from what 1 have heard, has been so for some time past, viz: that Messrs. VVaddell and Brown are to be ousted from the Academy. If this be true, I, as one ofthe people, am extremely anxious to know why and wherefor? And as you (from the sphere in which you" move) are likely to be in possession ofthe secret, will you oblige, not only me, but a great number of the Iii- habiptunts of Charlottetown, with the cause ofsuch a proceed- ing .

I find that within the last few days the rumour has be- come quite general (and as unpopular as general), some as- s1gning one reason, and some another, but nearly all agree that the upas plant has been produced from a root or seed which by me, at this time, shall be nameless, for I cannot reconcile such unchristiiiii disseiiibiing and cruel conduct with the character ol'tliose gentlemen who more immedi- ately have the controul ofthe Academy.

Should Messrs. \V. 82, 13., whose characters stand unim- peached, and (so far as I know) uninipeacliable, and who, by their indeliitignble services in this town, are rendered in them- selves worthy oftlie highest encomiuins, and near and dear to the hearts of the great majority of the people, be thus wantonly and cruelly dealt with, then I shall indeed think that some invisible lever is industriouslv and insidiously at work somewhere. I am, however, ex- tremely unwilling to harbor such a beliell th, though I say but little on such subjects, I cannot be (leaf to them, a part be true, relative to the patronage and ap- probation (and that more than verbal) which I hear has been tendered to Mr. Brown from hiin places, not only in Eu- rope, biit in this town, then I say again, that I am and must be sceptical as to any legitimate ground for fear.

"I‘rnstiiig that you or some other person will in some tan- gible shape or other favor our community with a balm that Will be suitable for the wounds already deeply enough iii- flicted, and calculated to enable me to remain silent, I am, &c.
