A crowprv and enthusiastic meeting of workingmen was held at Sheffield, on the 25th, to take steps to promote the emigration of surplus labor. A resolution was ed that, considering the prospects of trade in England, a large emigration was absolutely necessary. Another meeting is to be held ina short time to carry the resolution into effect.

SEVERAL complaints have reached this offic:

a

about the carelessness of those parties en trusted with removing the different arches, Broken nails and splints of different sizes, are toft- profusely scattered about the streets where the arches stood. In many cases horses have been seriously cut on the hooves with these sharp instruments. If the civic author- ities do not reverse this order of things, they may be held responsible for heavy damages.

At THE Stipendiary Magistrates Court to-day Miss Weatherbie, a resident of Euston street, appeared on summons for assaulting Mrs. McAvee, also a resident of the same The evidence produced showed that laintiff in the ease took as active a art in the aflray as did theldefendant. There- , Miss \V. was fined $1.00, and Mrs. Mc. was ordered to pay the costs of the suit.

A puBLic temperance meeting was held last evening at Southport. J. Stewart Esq., was evalled to the chair. Addresses on temperance, with a view to the foundatien of a Division ot the Sons of Temperance, were given by G. W. Millner. Rev. G. M. Campbell, J. B. Cooper, J. J. Chappell, and W. W. Beer. An appli- cation for a charter was presented by the G. Scribe, and at the close of the meeting was intrusted with one of the residents present. We are glad to hear that no licenses are grant- ed in Southport.

Dr. Borns’ tecture in St. James’ Hall last night, was fairly attended. The audience was an appreciative one and listened with great attention while he delineated the character of Abraham Lincoln, ‘‘a King of men.” The incidents in the life of the great emancipator —from his humble cradle,in the log hut,to the White House and the martyrs’s grave—-were vividly portrayed. It isa pity that a greater sumber did not attend to hear one of the best lectures that has ever been delivered in Char-

lottetown.

A LITTLE Boy named Hennessy, whose par- ents reside on Dorchester-street, et with an accident—which almost proved fatal—yester- day evening. He asked permission to ride on a esas belonging to W. R. Watson, Esq. Permission was foolishly granted by a servant, and when the boy mounted, the horse trotted eff at full speed. After a short and quick ride the little fellow was thrown headlong from the horse’s back to the hard street. Some

ies who saw the accident, conveyed the

sible bey to his home where he lay for hours apparently dead. Dr. McLeod was called iv, and under his sk‘llful treatment the little feilow at a late hour showed symptoms of recovery. He is now doing well.

Lozsster Fisuixc —Our esteemed friend from Little Sands, Duncan Munn, Esq., was in town a few days ago, full of vigor and de- termination,fotwithstanding the loss he sus- tained a while age by fire. But what would have disheartened and ruined many a man proved only a slight delay in Mr, Munn’s ease, as he is again pushing the lobster busi- bess through on a large scale. He has an ex- tensive knowledge of the business, and will no doubt secure the reward for his enterprise to which he is entitled. While having a short conversation with him, we learned that the season during which lobster fishing is pro- hibited is not eee applicable on the coast where he fishes—Little Sands. The lobster does not strike that quarter until fully three weeks after the time oy mence taking them in other sections, which is on the 20th of April. We understand there are serious “doubts as to what is the proper season for restrictions, and on this account it seems hard for the fishermen in the above Section to be ae of three weeks’ fishing, which is enjoyed in other parts. If anything could be done to remove this drawback, many a poor fishermen would go on his way rejoic-
