If this fact were known outside the} Province, as itis in the Province, the Patriot's garblings and misrepresenta- tions might pas* uon ytieed. Bat ip Ottawa, and throughout Canada, it is supposed to indicate at least one phase of public inion; and, therefore, the| action ot! ithorities — particularly as it a ieir prejadices so to do —miy iv ne d e be influenced by it. It this uld prove tobe the case — if the eff our united Legislature and p in justice and a great boou vince should prove fruitless —t j t will have to bear a large pro; yn of the blame.

The plain duty of every man, of every organ ' : opinion in this Island, is to strengthen the hands of the Legisla- ture and Gov nent while carryiog ou thi t 1 help aud support at points which ure weak, to bridge over difficu uake the best of every- thiog tha iil in aoy way tend to our

The Lee ~both Parties and both Hou nited in voting an address to the Queen,—the Patriot only sneered.

While in England the delegates submit- ted to Earl Granville a masterly state- nient ur case, and swept away the misapprehension that the Island is a drag upon the resourees of Canada,—the Patriot affords not even an abstract of what the delegates said, quotes from

their rep!y only to garble it, and conteats itself with saying that they argued the matter fully but gained nothing. The correspondence was submitted to the

The Military Concert.

Iv the success of a concert is to be gaug- ed by the size of an audience, certainly last | night’s coneert was a grand: succeas. The /audience was one of the largest we remem- ber to have seen for some time, while the sprinkling of red coats and epaulettes lent lan additional brilliancy to the scene, and | served to brighten up, what, without them,

would be the dirtiest and dingiest *‘ Music | Hall” (?) in the Provinces. Precisely at 8 o’clock a file of the artillery and militia ap-

’| peared upon the stage and presented arms

whilst the strains of the Military Band in | the National Anthem announced the com- |ihg of His Honorthe Lieutenant Governor jand Suite. An instrumental overture, Echo,” by the Military Band,was very well | performed,and the ‘Soldiers’ Chorus’ (from

/Faust) was about as well rendered jas it generally is. ‘‘Beautiful Love” was very sweetly sung by Mrs. Byrne whose voice, we take it, is of

scarcely sufficient power to ba heard to advantage in such a barn-like structure | Major Galbraith’s cornet solo, *‘ Under the | Roses,” was given in a manner to show that he bids fair to take high rank as a cor- netist. Itevoked an encore, to which he |replied with a trombone solo, thus display- ling his versatility. Of the vocal duet by Messrs. Maynard and Taylor, it may be said, ‘‘ All’s Well” that ends well. A waltz by the Military Band was next on the pro- gramme, and was played with precision and taste. It was followed by a recitation from |'Seott, ‘‘ The meeting of Marmion and | Douglass,” in T. A. McLean, Esq.’s well- | known gifted style. In responso to an encore, Mr. McLean gave a pathetic de- scription of a storm, in which the joke came in at the “tail.” Mrs. Strickland sang ‘‘ The Dashing White Sergeant,’ in her usual good form and voice. Then came the Bayonet Exercises by the Military, which were performed like clock-work, and elicited much applause. Miss Palmer's ‘* Maid Margaret’ was faultless in rendi- tion, and quite maintained her reputation as the prima-donna of our musical circles. We would here refer in terms of commendation to the suceessful accompaniment of Miss Caven which, instead of the racking tum- pety, tumpety, tum, tum, tum, we so often hear, was subdued and made secondary to the vocal part. The Chorus ‘ Softly Tread,” with Orchestral accompaniment, by the Glee Club, was beautifully executed }and reflected credit upon all concerned. Mr. Vinnicombe’s Violin Solo we need not dwell upon. It elicited the third and last encore of the evening, to which Mr. Vinni- combe responded with ‘‘ Little Maggie May,” in his own inimitable manner. A reading by Captain Weeks, of the Engin- eers—The Counsel for the Plaigtiffs Ad- dress to the Jury in the Case of Bardwell vs. Pickwick—was next in order. Of this we will merely say that if Capt. Weeks

i |

can only manage to plead so weil as he

reads, he gives promise of becoming a most

successful lawyer. Those who have heard Mrs. Malcolm McLeod sing,previously, were not dissappointed on this occassion, while those who heard her now for the first time were delighted, her Solo ‘* Darling ” fully sustaining her position as the favorite can- tatrice of Charlottetown. A Pianoforte Duet by Messrs Earle and Watson was ren- dered in a manner only to be expected from two such masters of the instrument. Mr. Vinnicombe gave another selection on his Violin, to take the place of a singer on the programme who did not appear. A Quick- step by the Band, ‘' Tapping at the Win- dow Pane,” was excellent in selection, and was reudered in the Band’s very. best style. A Chorus, “ Jingle Bells,” with sleigh bells accompaniment, was the last number, and was sung with a vivacity cal- culated to conjure up visions of ‘‘ these de- lightful rides” which form a not incon- siderable part of our winter enjoyments. ‘*God Save the Queen” by the Band, brought the Concert to a successful elose. We congratulate the Military and the

has attended their effrts, and Mr. Gal- braith and the Band upon the improve- ment in their finances which is likely to follow. oo

PROVINGIAL LEGISLATURE,

HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY. May 4. The bill to define the oparation of cer- tain judgment liens, passed in committee

The bill respecting public “health is still in committee.

LETTERS PO THE EDITOR,

S1x,—1 was forcibly reminded of the well timed article in your issue of the 23rd ult., on the report of the Superintendent of Education, by the publication of the list of prizes taken this year at Dalhousie by the Island students. I am not one of those who believe that a student owes everything to his teachers, but I am quite sure that the most indus- trious and the most talented of the succesa- ful students will be the readiest to acknow- ledge that he owes a great deal to the teaching he received during the years he spout at the Prince of Wales College. Now sir, although I can boast of a pretty extensive acquaintance amung the students who have at one,time or other during the las‘ few years attended the College, I cannot call to mind one who would not agree with me in saying that nowhere has more thorough intelligent, and conscientious instruction

to mind the tact that

been given than in Mr. L»Page’s room. | The effect and influence of his work is felt lin many of the most eflizient of our Island | schools and in hundreds of homes the heads of families would, if called upon, willingly bear the most unequivocal testimony to their appreciation of the value of his labora. | That part of tue very moderate salary | which has been assigned by law as compen- sation for the duties which Mr. LePage per- forms, should be withheld from him, is an injustice which should only need to be brought to the notice of the Government to remedied. The people of the Island

toe question comes | cannot afford to lose the services of such a

iteacher, nor can they afford fer their own credit sake to treat him unfairly. A word

‘to the wise is sufticient.

DOMINION PART AMEN

The House met at 3 p. m., when a num- ber of petitions against any change in the Scott Act were presented. The House then took up private bills.

Mr. Beatty moved the House into com- mittee on the Northwest Central Railway bill.

Mr, Woodworth opposed, explaining his former connection with the road, and how he had been treated by Mr. Beatty

Hon. Mr. Mitchell said it was shameful that members should be traffickers im char- ters, and moved that the bill be held from committee three months. 3

Mr. Blake thought there could be no tn- dependence while M, P’s. were able to secure thousands of dollars or to lose them according to the decision of the Govern- ment. He thought the Legislature ought not to renew the charter.

Mr. Beatty explained matters fully.

After recess the debate on Mitchell’s motion was continued but nothing new was brought out.

Gladstone's Tactics.

Lonpon, May 3.

) Rumors are in circulation that Gladstone will dissolve Parliament immediately after a division has been taken in the House of Commons on the second reading of the Home Rule bill, whatever the result of the vote may be.
