It is all very well for the Summerside people to hold public meet- imgs and vote a railroad a necessity, and that it should be made at the public expense—that the traftie on it would increase so faust that there would be little or no loss on it, &e. There is not a shilling of the publie mouey laid out on railroads in Britain ; they are all built and own- ed by Companies incorporated by acts of Par- liament. The Saumerside people are aware of this, and as they appear to believe that the pro- posed road, when made and used, will pay the interest of the money it will have cost in making, £20,000 « year—that is at 5 per cent.

(From the Yarmouth Herald.) SUIPPING OF YAKMOLTH.,

According te our usual custom, we to-day pub- lish a hat of the Shipping belonging to this Port, at the beginuing ef the year. It will be seen that, after deducting the large amount of tounage sold and lost during the year, there is still au increase, as compared with January, 1865,

To our usual list we append an additional col umn, showing the whereabouts of all the vessels above the schooner class. ‘This will give an idea of the ramifications of our commerce, which ex- tends to every quarter of the globe.

We find by official returns that the aggregate shipping of the entire British Empire in 1957 was 5,500,000 tons. At the present time it is pro-

THE LATEST FENIAN SCARE.

Tue people of the City, and indeed a greater number in the country, were, for the last ten days, thrown into the greatest alarm by a report that got into circulation, to the effect, that there was to be a stupendous Fenian uprising on St. Patrick's Day; and that life and pro- perty would fall a sacrifice to their reckless and sanguinary propensities. How the story was set on foot, or how it came to take such a hold of the public mind—may be a question as useless to discuss as it is difficult to answer. The prevalence of the report only proves that we have a great many weak-minded, silly, easily duped people in the community. Where were the Fenians to come from? They could not cross the Straits in any force at this season— even supposing they found no more attractive ‘Ah!

but,’ whispered some of the old women in

breeches, “the Irish Society have announced their intention to walk on St. Patrick's Day— every man of them is a Fenian—and every one of them will be armed with a pike and a revol- ver, These are the desperate fellows, at whose hands we may expect the most diaboli-

eal atrocities.” To stigmatise the Lrish Society as a band of Fenians would never enter into the heads of any people, except foolish or designing Orangemen, and could never be believed by any except weak, drivelling bigots. The Irish Society is a charitable institution, and has never mixed itself up with polities of It has extended its charities to the poor of all denominations and all coun- While its funds permitted the exercise of benevolence,

suffering humanity never made an appeal to it in vain. Many are the blessings it thus con-

ferred during a long and honorable career?

“St. Patrick's Day’? and “ Garryowen.” Having devoutly assisted at the relizious ser- vices, and listened to a: eloquent discourse trom the Reverend William Phelan, of Vernon tiver, the Society was reformed and returned to the Hall, previously passing through two or three of the principal streds- Their demeanour was remarked as being the most orderly ever exhibited by the lish, Syeiety. Some few Orangemen “ improyed the occasion” by wear- ing their yellow favors on a day dedicated to the green. They.cast furtive glances at the procession; but the Irishman, who would’nt have his coat tai approached within a hundred yards at any otter time, shunned them as he would shun the small pox; and, indeed, the suspicious appearance of the wearers of the yellow badgesmight possibly suggest toa green imayination tlat they were walking admonitors against the oul discase. But let that pass. The conducof the Irish Society was exemplary in the highest degree—it was tame beyond pre- cedent— indeed, it was ridiculously wo-Lrish. There was rot the slightest sign of fight in any man’s face—never a blade of a pike peeped from any man’s coat tails; in short, the whole procession looked as if the members of it were qualifying themselves to be enrolled in the Peace or Quaker Society.

Our readers at a distance may rest assured that the day passed off with unusual quietness. The timid fools in the interior, as well as in the City, who thought the capitol of this Colony was about to fall a sacrifice to the fiendish de- signs of the rascally Finnegans, may take the consoling fact to their perturbed bosoms, that we are us We were—that not a drop of blood was shed, nora blow struck throughout the day —not, at least, by the men who were exposed to the most disgraceful and unjustifiable sus-

The heaith of the Right Hon. Chichester Fortescue, Chief Secretary, having been pro- posed, that honourable geatieman made a speech filled with the most admirable sentiments. He declared that the policy of the Irish Govern- ment was one of conciliation and progression —(we expressed the same opinion in our last No. without the light of this great authority then before us)—and he adds in words worthy of remembrance, that the intention of the Im- perial Parliament and of the Irish Government is to “ take away from the disaffected in Ireland every excuse, every shadow of excuse, that the most distempered and disordered imagination can conceive, and which lead many to believe that there exists physical and violent means forthe redress of social and political grievances.’ The whole Irish clergy and all the respectable classes in Ireland, he assures us, are against the seditious movement, which the Government are determined and prepared to put down. But we must give the speech. It is well worthy of perusal by all parties; and we commend it to the notice of those in our midst who sympa- thise with Fenianism—if there are really any persons so demented as to do such a thing. Mr. Fortescue said, in answer to the toast of his health :—

“Tt is to me a source of great gratification that on the first occasion upon which it has been my privilege to address an Irish audience since my appointment to the office T have the honor to hold, it should be round the hospitable hoard of my Lord Mayor, where every Irishman should feel it an honour to be present, and in the pre- sence of an assembly always distinguished, but more than usually so on this oceasion. I have

Tne Provincial Delegates, charged with seek. ing a renewal of the Reciprocity Treaty, had scarcely left Washington before the Commnittee of Ways and Means, representing the Govern- ment, or at least the dominant party in the Government, presented to Congress the draft of a Bill embodying proposals for trade with the Colonies, substantially the same as those that were contained in Memorandum B, which, in the course of the late negotiations, they pre- sented to the Provincial Delegates, and which they instantly and peremptorily rejected. We published it in this paper a week or two ago. We deem it quite unnecessary to reproduce the new proposals. They are scouted at as be- ing as quite offensive as the orizinal proposals, by the Culonial Press from one end of the Colo- nies to the other—two or three contemptible aunexation papers, with strong Fenian ten- dencies, to be excepted. The latter pretend to think that the new proposals (in the Bill sub- mitted to Congress), are ofa liberal nature ; but they have not, and cannot point out, wherein their liberality consists. Mr. Morrill, as Chair- man of the Committee of Ways and Means, may be in earnest or may be in jest in his dealings with this question ; but if he be in the former mood, there is a moral certainty that he totally misunderstands the feelings and opinions of the Provincialists if he thinks they can be cajoled into the adoption of his im practicable views. There is not one Colonial Government in British America that would dare to submit for serious consideration the Bill which the Committee of Ways and Means have recently submitted to Congress. The thing will, therefore, be nothing more than Congressional rubbish, so far as it affects the Colonies.

The Reciprocity Treaty expired on Saturday last. Under all the circumstances connected with the recent negotiations, and the present

that the Government of Great Britain are quite determined that the question shall be kept be- fore the Colonia! Leyislatures until it be brought to a suecessful conclusion. This seems to have been gall and wormwood to the antiConfed- erate Cabinet, judzing from the vague and some- what saappish response which they make as follows :— F

“ The correspondence which has taken place between Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Soleules and the Governor Gen- neral of Canada on the affairs of British North America, when laid before us will receive due attention, and the opinion expressed by’ Her Majesty will the respect aud attention which is due to suggestions emanating from so high a source; but in any scheme for union of the B. N. A. Provinces as may be proposed it is, in the opinion of the House, absolutely essential that full protection show!d be afforded to the rights and interests of the people of this Province ; and no measure which fails to obtain these objects should be adopted.”

NEWS BY THE MAILS. Tue papers received by the Mails om Friday give evidence of the vast spread of Fenianism, aud the alarm it has created in Canada and New Brunswick. The swindlers who diree¢ the movement have grown rampant sinee the suspension of the Habeas Corpus act in Ireland, and they seem to think it is a fine ee- casion to make a new haul upon the dollars an@ cents of their unfortunate dupes. To attam this end, monster meetings are heid, and the wildest stories are transmitted across the wires- We see it reported that the Steamship City of London was captured by a Fenian privateer: but where the privateer sprung from, or what was its name, the Telegraph did not condeseend to say. Then more recently ihe report has reached us that Navy Island, of rebel fame, has been seized upon by 10,000 Fenians. We don’t believe a word of either of these reports: but though they may be false as the Father of Lies himself, they serve to keep up alarm and excitement—to bring recruits to the Brother-

we know to the contrary, who have sympathies in common with the Fenians.

that hostile Fenianism in this Colony will never injure them in life, limb, or property.

(Hear, hear.) I say ‘recovery of Ireland,’ be- cause this country, it was palpable to every one, was awakening to life and vigour. I sce around me in many parts of Ireland the signs of life and industry. Her ports are more flourishing than they have been for many a day ; her farmer class are paying their rent with

not yet wholly lost to British American sub- jects—that other channels of trade may be opened up—that they are not dependent upon Brother Jonathun for a mere existence, any more than they were eleven years ago—and that the time has not yet quite arrived for the in flietion of the painful process of being absorbed into the American Union.

The New York Albion, which is the most

business of all kinds cannot but be sadly dis- turbed. The Canadian people are greatly ex- asperated against the Fenians, as clearly shown in their prompt response to the Government call upon their services—a much larger number having offered to be enrolled in the militia than the Government required.

road, compete with steamships, just look at the share list published in any of the late British ; newspapers; you wil! there see that a £100 share of the London, Chatham & Dover Railway, all paid up, is selling now at £35, being a loss to the original shareholders of 65 per cent. Our Western Railroad, if made, would be worse than even that; for I don’t believe that it would pay the few officials that would be re- quired about it, and keep fuel to the engines and vil to the wheels of the carriages. It is generally believed here that the two steamers lately employed in the trade of Charlottetown and Summerside will be amply sufficient for all the trade there for several years to come, with the exception of some cargoes of produce and timber. A railroad can never successfully compete with steamships in such aaafe naviza- tion as that’between Charlottetown and Sum- merside, even although the distance by sea be some 20 or 25 miles greater than that by land Yours, &e.

idibiellitiahiniiiblis THE FISH INSPECTION LAW. To tae Eprron or tHe Examiver.

Sir :-—After the manuer of advertisements of certain medicines, with numerous certificates attached to each, bearing testimony to their won- derfully eurative power, I observed in kindred spirit a eolumn of the last Examiner oceu- pled by a correspondent and devoted to the publication of the merits of the Piekled Fish In- spection Law, accompanied hy certificates pre- sented by your correspondent, testifying to the utility of the law as having established a good character for a certain finny genus, caught and cured here and exported hence in barrels.

J have not read, nor have I heard, of any ex- ception taken to the provisions of that law, nor co I know of a murowr against its operation. ‘the Act was allowed to work quietly in its s here of asefalness, and no one had persuaded h meelf that the working of the Law demanded from hime public laudation. This obtuseness to its material benefits—the unzenerous neglect

now circulating in certvin quarters in this city. I am informed by a practical typographer

like mould and character of letter us that used on the Herald, published in Charlottetown ; and I am further informed that the noxious thing was on sale at the shop of a vendor of notions in Queen Street.

Propagandists of inflammatory and dangerous missions, based upon treason to the Crown of Great Britain, and threatening the peace of

the loyal subjects of Her Majesty here, should have, and doubtless will receive, timely and pro- per attention from the Government of this Colony, and the civic authorities of Charlotte- town. Yours,

(We have read the ‘Fenian Song’’ referred to in the above communication. Poorer dog- grel could not be penned. As regards the animus of the thing, it is not only unquestion- ably treasonable in the highest degree, but it breathes the most atrocious and blood-thirsty spirit. We regret that any printer should be so lost to all sense of propriety’ as to allow the vile trash to be printed at his office. The poor simpleton who sold it is, perhaps, more to be pitied than blamed, for he has searcely sense enough to know right from wrong, and may have been made a dupe of to disseminate the treasonable production.— Ep.

ee ae PUBLIC MEETING AT CAMPBLETON, LOT 4. According to notice a public meeting was held in the Schoolhouse at Campbleton, Lot 4, on the 2let inst., for the purpose of considering the pro- priety of petitioning the House of Assembly, to establish a Court of Commissioners for the re- covery of Small Debts at Campbleton, Lot 4. A large and influential number of the inhabitants of Lots 3, 4, and7, assembled at the time appointed, all of whom appeared to take an interest in the proceedings of the meeting. Mr. Edward Hub- bard was unanimously elected chairman, and the undersigned appointed seeretary, alter which the meeting was addressed by several gentlemen in

of honorable acknow ied sment of its practical | an elequent and able manner, who clearly showed

action, and the stolid silenee of a dull people, in presence of the masterly ecouesived and lucidly framed law, naturally induced its clever prigina- tor himself to bring ity great merits before the publie, This act of its modest aathor, notwith- standing that the cause he has adopted to give

Hlieity to the action of the law bears a tint

the importance and necessity of establiehing a

Court for the recovery of Swall Debts at the | would, whether their officers went with them above place. After showing clearly and lucidly | o- not,

the benefits which wouid arise from it, the follow- ing resolutions were snbmitted god passed :—

Moved by Mr. R. Nicholson, seconded by Mr.

David Thompson,

Resolved, That it is the firm opinion of this

meeting that a Court of Commissioners for the recovery of Sai} Dedts is needed at Campbleton,| by that ancient functionary—t'e Clerk of the

Mr. Whelan :—Permit me to bring under your observation the accompanying printed Fenian Song of hizhly treasonable import, and

that the type in which the song appears ia of

the Colony, and security of life and property of

veillance kept upon the troops, and their close confinement to Barracks at unusually early hours two or three evenings previous to the 17th March. A cannon was kept in readiness in the Barrack Square to defend the arms and am- munition against attack, — fifty soldiers were detailed for the great emergency, and supplied with sixty rounds of ball cartridge each. Such, at least, is the information we have received of the preparations made in military quarters. In the civil department there was great bustle, and the profound awe that settled upon the countenances of the authorities clearly signified that they were apprehensive of an outbreak, The Mayor of the City—acting, we are informed, under the advice of the Go- vernment—caused circulars to be issued to all the Magistrates in the City, requesting their attendance at the Mayor's Court on the morn- ing of the 17th. About 100 circulars were also issued to persons eligible to serve as special constables, requesting their presence at the same place, to be sworn in for special service. Is it any wonder that the knowlede of these extraordinary precautions caused the excite- ment to spread like wild-fire? The several Orange Lodzes were in full blast,—they held a mass meeting; and we are told that night watches were kept up all over the City.
