The rest, of the 'day was occu- pied With more routine businese.

At an early hour to-day, a Message—intended to have been delivered yesterday—will, we understand, he sent down to both Houses, announcing a fact which will surprise

- many of our readers, viz: the disallowance by the Home Government of the Small Debt Act of last Session. The ground of the disallowance is said to be, that part of the Act which_afl'ects the seats of Members accepting office under its rovisions. The Hon. C.I-1en'sley has, we regret to learn, resigned his seat in the Legislative Council.

Queen's COUNTY Easement—The adjourned Poll opened in Charlottetown oti Saturday last, and closed on Monday, at 4 p. m., when the Hon. J. S. Macdonald was declared duly elected. The numbers at the close stood as follows :— ,

Macdonald, - - 371 Le Lacheur, - - 270 — Majority, ’--—— 101 t i ‘

In the evening—stormy as it was without— the Hon. Mr. " Macdonald was entertained by a numerous party of his con- stituents at Mrs. Vchrnotith’s Hotel. “ The toasts,” says the Islander, “ were loyal and patriotic, the speeches excellent, andthe whole passed off in the most social and agreeable manner.”

Pam-v SPIRIT.—-:\ writer in one of our contemporaries has the following:—

“ Party feeling runs so high, at the present day, in Prince Ed. ward Island, that no man, possessing the least spirit, can avoid espousing one side or the other.”

Now, in order to show what “ party feeling” is calculated to efiect for a country, we shall just give our readers a brief extract of a letter received a short time since from a gentle- man of known respectability end veracity, at present resi- dent in Nova Scotia, but formerly a resident of Charlotte- 5 ' town :— ' “Things here are in a very bad state. When Isay hereJ mean almost the whole Province. The late Elections have up- rooted the cause both of Religion and Temperance. Drunken. mass has greatly prevailed. Churches have been shaken to the centre, and friendships rifted asunder. Father at vurim,“ with son, and brother with brother. “ * * Horses have had their tails shorn and ears cropped. The brute: deserve pity—--tlieir masters reprobation.” ' —

SOCIETY FOR run ENCOURAGEMENT or Aeaiccuuas, Manunc'waas AND FlsflERlEI.—A General Meeting ofthis Association-—to the formation of which we called the atten- tion of our readers last week—took place in the Hall ofthe Mechwics’ Institute, St. John, N. B. on the 18th ult., and such was the interest exr'ited, that there were no less than five hundred persons present. Office-bearers were then chosen. The Committee, we perceive, consists of l Brewer, I Baker, 1 Blacksmith, 1 Barrister, I Bfockmaker, 1 Cabinet ~Maker, l Carpenter, 1 Cordwainer, 1 Druggist, 5 Farmers,- 1 Fisherman, 1 Founder, 1 Flourdeslei‘, 1 Merchant, 1 Mason, 1 Pailmaker, 1 Painter, 1 Shipwright, 1 Tailor, 1 Tanner, and I Tallow Chandler. Several interesting speeches were delivered, from which it is our intention to make some extracts next week, much that was advanced being ofa highly practical nature, and equally as applicable to ourselves as to New Brunswick.
