Atthe public meeting held at Kelly’s Cross on Monday, the 23rd inst., the fol lowing rosolution was moved by John Bradley, Esq., and seconded by F. Malone, Eeq., and carried unanimously :—

Whereas, The present Government, during the short time they have been in power, have, pursting a system of economy, lessened the number of officials, reduced the salaries of the heads of the several departments of the public service, and greatly redueed the taxa- tien of tlie country, thereby carrying out, as far as is consistent with the efficiency of the nblic setvice, the reforms promised them at

t genera! election.

And Whereas, We heartily approve of and evidence the general policy of the Government during tre last year, and have every conti- deace in them, thinking they will continue te

minister the affairs of the Province in the = prudent and ecouomical manner in the

sture as they have done in the past. 7

And Whereas, The Hon. W. Campbell, whose conduct as our representative meets with our approval, has accepted the office of Superintendent of Public Works, which ren- ders his seat vacant in the House of Assem- bly. ,

Therefore, Resolved, That iu the opinion of this meeting, the Hou. W. Campbell is again entitled to our confidence and support, and we regard any oppasitien to Mr. Uampbell’s ré-election, at the present time, as mischier. ous aud detrimental to the best interests of the district.

Tue celebration of St. Patrick's Day was eoncluded by a concert in Market Hall, in aid of the Irieh Relief Fund, and under the auspices of Lieutenant Governor Haviland.

The songs which occupied the greatest part of the programme were, without —— _Wellrendered, but, in most cases, poorly sel- ected. Misses. Donovan, Connolly and Cox “proved themselves to be charming vocalists, although their voiees had not sufhcient com- - for the spacious, crowded hall. Mrs. trickland was, as on all occasions, well re- eeived. Indeed, she appears to be a favorite with Charlottetown audiences. The songs by Messrs. F, H. Beer, J. F. Montgomery, and L. J. Williams deserves special mention--one by the latter particularly—‘ Live and Let ive —was a linirably ‘selected for a “‘ relief soncert."" The piano solo. by Miss Smith,

and the Harp Solo, by Mrs. Kickhatr, were ing to all. Miss Smith’s performauce on

the piano being highly spoken of by those eapable of judging. The Readings, in both eases, were good, while the Quintette Club added much to the success of the concert. We learn that the net profits of the entertain- ment is $175.
