THE SCOTCH EMIGRATION CHEAT AGAIN!

Tue Colonial Secretary, in his capacity as editor of the Islander, essaged on !'riday last to whitewash ** The travell’d Thane, Athenian Aberdeen” — Smith. In directing attention to the disreputable character of the advertisement put forth by Mr. Smith, we were actuated by no feelings of animosity to the man, but considered, at the time—and are still of the same opinion—that it became a sacred duty of a public journalist to expose the heartless deception which was attempted to be perpetrated on his fellow-countrymen by Mr. George Smi hh. We had no personal or political feelings to gratify by the course we pursued ; we had _not rejoiced at

Socitty ;

his expulsion from the Agricultural we were sorry when we heard that his house was burned, and were glad at the receipt of the information that it was well insured, and that Mr. Smith had received the amount of his policy. Bat when a man returns to bis native land, to circilate among his kith and kin statements calculated and intended to mislead all who might be induced to coufide in their truth—we performed only an act of common honesty by exposing the fraud.

We observe that Mr. Smith, not liking our notice of his

letter to the editor of the Proéestant, has prudently forborne

to obtrade on the public any justification or excuse from his ewn pen, but has availed himself of the services of the Colonial I

Seeretary’s more praciised hand, and a precious mess has been the result. .

After stating that Mr. Smith “is practically acquainted with the agricultural capabilities of this Island, in which he has resided for some years past,’’ we are told that his ‘* adver- tisements may have given the brighter side of the picture, and may have contained a few unintentional errors as to the prices at which some articles of agricultural produce are usualy sold —errors mainly caused by giving the piices in sterling, instead of currency.’’ Is it not rather strange that a man who has been so far north as Mr. Smith—who has resided * for some years on this Island,” who is ** practically acquainted with our agricultural capabilities,’’ and who is no child in readily ascertaining the difference between British sterling and [sland currence y—sh ild have made unintentionally such a blunder as to tell his countrymen that twelve pence brass or copper tokens current in this Island were as good as twelve pence braw bawbees in Glasgow or Aberdeen ?

The editor of the Islander does not blush for his reputation asa man of common sagacity when he bases his belief in one of the statements of his friend on the reliable word of Mr. George Smith himself. The ‘* unintentional’’ nature of the few ‘‘ errors’? admitted to have been made by this notable emigration agent, is about on a par with the equally innocent estimate of the turnip crop, which resulted in a decided im- provement in the character of the Royal Agricultural Society.

Mr. Secretary Pope may devote all his spare time to the manufacture of an honest reputation for his friend, and may impute to those who would aprly Ithuriel’s spear to the dis- guised deceiver the silly charge of interested motives ; but this cannot be gainsaid—that the paid agent was a paid misstater | of facts, and that the circumstances which branded him as no longer worthy to continue to be a memb. r of the Agricultural Society should have prevented ‘‘ several gentlemen interested in the Colony”’ from employing him as they did; but having done so, they are responsible before God and man for his acts and their consequences, for he was on!y labouring in his yoca-

tion when his imagination, like Milton's muse,

* With no middle flight, ezsay’d to soar Above the Aonian mount, while it pursued Things uvattempted yet in prose or rhyme.”

We are happy to learn that the Monaghan settlers—who, it is untruly stated, emigrated to this lsiand as ** paupers’’— have so far proved themselves to be persons of the ‘‘right class,”’ | according to the Islander's definition, as to be in the prosper- | ous condition attributed to them ; and we suppose they would have great pleasure in giving the parties who induced them | to come to this ‘land of milk and honey’’ a seat in the! ‘« waggon or gig’’ which their industry may have obtained | for them. Mr. Smith’s victims may possibly improve the| weans of locomotion at present possessed by the Island, by) introducing, in honor of their benefactor, an economical mods of riding by rail withous sleepers.

in concluding tliis notice of a very discreditable transaction, we repeat the expression of our regret that the official position | of Her Majesty’s tepresentative had not been considered as of too high @ nature to have permitted its indirect but most sotent influence to be used in the furtherance of an organized jeception. We are willing to believe that His Excellency the

Lieut. Governor would have scorned to lend his name, or the | grestige of his faiher’s house, to give corroboration to a cruel fnud,—and that had he the slightest idea of the previous” achievements of Mr. George Smith, he would have scouted, aia most offensive insult to himself and to the name he bears, | tl suggestion that the portals of Dundas Castle should open | fo his admission. The Lieut. Governor’s confidence, we have | evry reason to believe, has been unjustifiably abused ; and we. arctorry that such should have been the case, for we are quite dispoed to believ» that it is his most earnest desire to advance the interests of the Colony by any means legitimate for a! £enleman to use.

; |

Sastry in want of political stuck in trade, the second edi- | forialin the last Jslander is a vague and vapid reply to Mr.

Coles’s letter, which appeared in our lust No., respecting the’

purchase of the \Vorrel] Estate. Our contemporary must be and exclaim loud!y against the movement.

at avery great loss for an argument to justify the inconsistency | of his party, when he is obliged to have recorrse to some | faint reminiseences of a conversation which is said to have | taken place some years ago between the Leader of the present Government and the Leader of the Opposition, but of which the latter has no recollection, It isa matter of no importance what either gentleman may haye said to the other in the course of a free and unreserved conversation,—the fact is un- deniable, that the present Government have been * con- siraened”’ to adopt the principles of their late predecessors on & very material point of policy which they had so much abased while they were in opposition. .

The Island

of the Quit Rents due on the Selkirk estate.

r sccuts the idea about enforcing the payment The C.lonial | Seeretary remarks that such a thing was not done wlen the We know that, and are sorry for it; but if the late Government neglected

Worrell estate was purchased by the Government,

the performance of a very obvious duty, is that any reason | why the present one should fellow the bad example ? The| party now in power censured the Liberals for not establishing | a Court of Enquiry to investigate the original titles. under the authority of the fifth clause of the Purchase Bill. We shall see when they purchase the Selkirk estate—if ever they | can—whether they will act upon the fifth clause with respect to a Court of Enquiry, and do that which they blamed their predecessors for not doing. Moreover, we shall see whether they will deduct anything from the purchase money to be paid to Lord Selkirk for the fishery reserves included in his estate. We know the late Government insisted upon a large reduction on this aceount before they purchased the Worrell property ; and sv just was the demand that the vendors could

not refuse it.

isiegikiaiilaii iii Tue Islander does not deny the statement made, in the | Examiner of Tuesday last, that arrangements are in progress to enable Mr. Douse to become the purchaser of Lord Selkirk’s | estate, instead of the Government purchasing it—after all the fuss made in the House of Assembly about it !—messages | from the Lieut. Governor on the subjeci !—great exhibition of | rejoicing on the ministerial chairs '—eloquent and repeated | recantation of the Tory doctrine with respect to the purchase f Township lands !—-passing a Bill to supplement the Land Purchase Act, &e., &e. Sic transit gioria mundi—-which Mr. Douse can freely and joyously translate as follows :—** The Government speculation has all ended in smoke.’’

ANN ices NEW BISHOP OF CHARLOTTETOWN.

We are gratified to learn that the Very Rev. Peter McIntyre, the zealous and amiable Missionary Priest at Tignish, has been appointed to succeed the late Right Rev. Dr. MeDonald as Bish P Ch: > ° nn : ; 3 as Bishop of Charlottetown. The high place which our > - » 4 a ’ Fas a « . . Reverend and venerable friend has long held in the affections of his brethren of the Priesthood, and the respect and attach- ment which he has everywhere inspired in the breasts of the laity by the many virtues which adorn his character—w.]] | cause the announcement of his elevation to the episcopacy to be received with every manifestation of approval and pleasure. |

By the steamer this moraing from Pictou, we were very unexpectedly favoured with an English Mail, bringing dates lhere i intelligence of importance to

which we have noticed. OPPOSITION OF ENGLAND TO THE RUSSIAN PROPOSED CON. FERENCE On the occasion of the communications made by Prince Gortschakol to the diplomatic corps respecting the affairs of lurkey, the English Ambassador, Sir John F. Crampton, im- mediately protested aguinst the intentions declared by Russia.

CIVIL WAR IN MOROCCO. | The news that another civil war had broken out in Morocco is confirmed frvm several quarters. The Spanish Plenipoten- tiaries have returned from Tetuan.

THE FRENCH MEDITERRANEAN SQUADRON. |

The Moniteur de la Flotte says :—** It is announced that the Mediterranean squadron bas received orders to re-enter Toulon, in order to set out again on a more distant mission, respecting which no particulars are known. We u ay, however, be per- mitted to suppuse, that if not destined for the coasts of Sicily, | the squadron would cruise in the Levant, where agitati ans, | both political and religious, have recently arisen, whieh at DO | distant period may necessitate the interferance of the Western Powers.”’

THE SICILIAN INSURRECTION.

DISEMBARKATION OF GARIBALDI'S EXPEDITION AT MARSALA.

Part of Garibaldi’s expedition disembarked at Marsala on the 11th instant from two vesses. ‘The royal! ships were | obliged to cease firing during two hours, beiny, as it is asserted, prevented by English steamers. The firing could not be re- sumed until the English officers had returned from the shore to their vessels. The volunteers who had landed were fighting witli the royal troops at the moment of the mail’s departure. During the landing four persons were killed. It appears that | arms and ammunition were disembarked. Other arms, coming from the Levant, were landed several days before on the southern coast.

A Neapolitan official despatch says :—The firing of the two N apolitan frigates of Marsala has killed several of the fili- busters. Asregards the two vessels in which they had ar- rived, the Lombardo was sunk, and the Piedmont has been captured. The royal troops marched on to meet those who | disembarked.”’

It is reported that a despatch has been received from Naples, | stating that, the state of affuirs being precarivus, the King | has requested foreign intervention.

The Consiiiutionnel of "Pharsd Ly, has the following :—| ‘* The latest intelligence we have received is to the effect that | the expeditionary corps of Garibaldi is advancing with success | in Sicily. The movewent is -preading over the whole island ”’

The French Minister at Naplesis said to bave asked {or four | ships of war to protect his countrymen, and it is feared, or | hoped, as the case may be, that by this the King of Naples is ina very citical position. Then, again, Gen. Lamoriciere | Las made a movement, and is to be cheeked by 5000 Piedmon- | tese embarked at Genoa.

The Jarge house on the corner, we learn, belonging to Mr. MeDonald, ship builder, and one to Mr. Mercer. Several parties barely escaped with their lives from the burning buildings.
