Yet it argues ill for a country in which ajournsl llko tho Tribune can wield a wide-spread influence. and in: boot! not wundor that under its inllllctico and that at similar journals. publiu morality is undermined. and corruption stalks abroad at noonduy. It is undoubtedly true. that tho Tribune may. now and then. chanco to be on the right side. though when so. usually for a wrong reason. but as a rule its approval of a cause is a strong presumption against it: justice and expediency. This sfluoncc. as far its it goes. is incompatible with tho de- velopment. oven with the existence of Christian civili- sstion. and would it not coontorscl/sd by other influ- cncos. brin back a worse than I'agan barbarism; and harm it lot 2 the instinct of Catholics has hold thorn back very generally from supporting a party that can be controlled b tho ht.

Whether the overthrow of tho Garlbaldians at Tivoli svas duo to tho unaided skill and valor of the Pontifical forces. or whether some I-‘rcnch battalions took part in tho action. is not yet put boyond doubt. and the nervous oagernoss shown by the English Liberal press to make out that the Pope‘s soldiers did not do it all. is so cosi- lcal that it warns us to wait for further information.— Unc thing. at least. is certain. that whoever sharod in tho doing of it. the work was not done negligently.

The light-hoqu has been ereclod at

lantern placed on the East Point would be just as'

serviceable. for the following reasons: In doubling ltho East Point the mariner can discern the outlines of the land almost no soon as he can the light. and Tie some instancos sooner. for I have inysell gone by .lho Ens! I’oiut more than once during the months oi ,Septemher and October last. and failed to see any Ilight. although boiJg so close in to tho land tliatd ‘could distinctly see the light-house. but no light in .it. Probably this might be accounted for M a spe- ‘cios of “ retrenchment." the keeper considering the nights line and brighmlioughl it best to sure the .lightgiving elemequ for dnrkor and more boisterous .oues. Another tlilllculty is. that the light is a whito one. corresponding with a vessel’s signal light. I have on several occnsioni hue-i linking tor the East Point. and several vessels riding at anchor under the Point. or at times. to use a nautical phrase. "jugg‘ llog." with their signal lights up. and could not. lor .tho life of me. tell “ totbor “0111 which." or the East Point from a vessel's sigunl light. To marks the Eust Poiul light a benefit to mariners. the light lmust either be a revolving. flush. or it fixed t‘ctl‘ ‘liglil. To make it either ol these would remove the idunner oi mistaking it tor a vessel’s signal light. As for as regards the non-appearance ol the light at Ititnes. and at others. its gliinnioring like a star, I presume the Government can remedy thoso cvils; without incurring much further expanse. What is the use of hoviuga light house it it be not properly looked after 9 It is. I think. the place of the Gov- ernment to do so. and see first officials paid by pub- llic inonoy perform their duties to the public. There via a fault somewlicre.—-nheilier with the keeper or light-house gent-I am not at present prepared to say.

Ox looking over the cditorisl article in the [slander of the 15th instant. whcrein Mr. llensley‘s “apart is criticised. the dishonesty of the writer is lnlly manifest- ed. A greater bundle of misrepresentations we hilt'c seldom seen collected togctbcr. Under the pretence oi serving the Colony and the interests of truth. by do-

The uuinvcstod money which is said to be lying in the bunks. consists. for tho most part. of deposits mutlu by mechanics and men in business. in aitlicipallon ol future linbllitlcs. and not. as nssurtod. awaiting investment in Government Warrants.

The dumauod condition of our roads and bridges is moro or less lowing lo the unusual number of violent wind and ruin stornn with which the Island has been visited this full, and also. it must be coulessod. in ii greater degree. owing to the wretched system of patching land batch-work which has been in vogue in the Co- lony over since it enjoyed a Government at its own. Whether good roads can be made out of the mute- risl within the Proviocc. or whether its 'rcsources will admit oftlio importation of nnitnble material from ubroad. are questions which we are not prop... rod to discuss. but the incl remains that at the ten time when gmid hard roads are most required to en'- 'nble llio farmers to haul their produce to mallet, they are in the most sorry and wrotched cooditinu.—-sl- uiosl impossiblo to man or boost. and suggesting .the idea that if the earth's diameter were less than 'it is. some of our larmors with their heavy Austin of ‘prodnco might vory often find themselves summarilv iseut to tho untipodos by dropping through the holds in tho roads so prevalent in the fallsoason.

The only reason of lns opposition in 1867 to that which he supported in l861. is to embarrass the finances oi the country. and to induce tho Canadians to olI'cr a
