‘Mr. Heusley-made his appearance upon the platform amidst the enthusiastic ciieers of over five hundred of the Electors of the District. He reviewed at great leugth the proceedings o! the present Government, especially with re- ference to the Land Question, referring par- teculariy to the Land Purchase Act and the Loan Bill., Fhe spoke of the present very im- perfect state of our so-ealled Free Education eystemt.: Me made reference to Responsible Goverment and the extension of the Fran-

chise &s some of the results of the efforts of the Liberal Party. The Honorable gentle. imam then adverted to the Confederation ques-

Hensley, was held at the Cross Roads, Lat 47. Me. James McLean was appointed to act as Chatveman, and the subseriber was appointed to act as Seeretary.

Mr. Hensley spoke first, in’ reference to his own Pachamentary couduet during the perio oft his representation of this District. member of the Opposition, he said) that he could not accomplish as much as he wished ; hut that he did all he could. He supported all measures that he believed to be advautaveous to the evuntry, without respect tu political paar He shewed that the present Government /were only carrying vut the measures introduced

hy the Liberal party, in reterence to the Lan | Question,—that in extending the Land Pur chase Act they are passing censure upon them- selves. Mr. Hensley also spoke regarding the | proposed Confederation of the Colonies, and jexpressed himself strongly in opposition to the Quebec scheme. 4

Hoa. Emanuel McEachern was the next to address the meeting. He remarked on his own political actions during his © Parliamentary eareer, From the fact of his being a supporter ot the Government, he said, he bad great ad- vantayes for obtaining benetits for the District ;

secured every thing that he asked. He said the [troops to the Island last summer; and made | mention of the bringing here of the “* Newfound. land Feneibles”’ as a precedent for that act of the Government. The building of the Barracks, and the matter of Education were also spoken ot by him. He said that the Government would have been defeated on two or three occasions during lust Session, had it not been for him; |thathe supported them at the “Caucus Meet. ings’ in which they were accustomed to assem- ble their party, previously to taking a vote in | the House ; in fine, that it was he who drew up| the anti-Confederate Resolutions ; and that had

j |

it net been for the manner in which he had per formed his task, the Government would have

because of there being so many Confederates in the Executive and in the House of Assembly. |

After Mr. McEachern had concluded, Mr. | e again at great length. He said that the Government were themselves culpable tor the disturbances amongst the tenants, on account of the deception which they had prac- tised towards them. He alluded to the “ Cau- cus Meetings,’ referred to by Mr. MeEachen, as contrary to the principles of Responsible Government. He spoke of the Tenants’ Com. pensation Bill, the Reut Roll Bill, and the Loan Bill, as measures of the Liberal party which would have been beneficial to the tenan- try, if they had become law; and which would have become law were it not for the opposition of certain interested parties.

Mr. E. Kickham then addre=sed the electors. He said that he had been invited to offer him- self as a candidate at the approaching election ; that if he should be elected, he would give his | support to the Liberal party.

The following Resolitions were then put to the meeting, and unanimously varried :

Ihave to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch No. 41, of the Sth September, trans mitting a Minute of Couneil, with other doen- ments, explanatory of the financial condition of Prinee Edward Island, as reqaured hy my Despatch of the Lsth of July last.

| © The resources of the Island, as shewn hy | these documents, appear to Her Majesty's Go- vernment to alford suflicient guarantee for the ‘due paymeut of the interest as it falls due, and tur the formation of a sinking fund for the pay- ment of the principal of the luan proposed to be raised under the Imperial guarantee; and they are therefore prepared tu authorise « loan | of one hundred thousand pounds, to be appro- priated to the purchase of the rights of landed | proprietors in the Island, subject to the fol- | lowins conditions :-— jin order to secure the repayment of moneys borrowed under the provisions of the Land Pur- | chase Act, 16 Vie, cap. 18, as well as the in- jterest thereon, the moneys arising’ from the sale, rent and profits of lands purchased under the | Act, and paid into the Treasury, are in the first '

| a Hi j other public funds, moneys and securities, are

| likewise pledved and rendered liable.

* In order, therefore, to secure this country }againust any undue charge, proper provision | must be made for the regular payment of the interest of the proposed loan, as well as for the | formation ot a sinking fund, such as will seeure the liquidation in twenty years of the principal amount of the debt, for the interest of which the Imperial guarantee is proposed to be given.

*+ It will further be necessary that the pro- ceeds of the lands to be purchased, as well as “first charze on the veneral revenue of the Provinee, should be secured by Le-islative en- actments, for the payment of principal and in terest, and any other expenses that may be necessarily incurred. .[T have, therefore, to in- struct you to bring the subject again under the consideration of your Council, with a view to the introduction into the Lezislature of the measure necessary for giving effect to the pro- posed arrangement.

Ihave, &e., (Signed) H. Lanovenerr. Lieut. Governor D. Daly, &e. &e. &e. Prince Edward Island.”

In accordance with the above Despatch the Liberal party passed the Loan Bill for the £100,000 sterling, but the opposition of the Proprietors, backed up by the 400 who peti- tioned the Home Government not to sanction said Bill, defeated the measure, among whom Pope, NM. P. P. and J. P., T. H. Haviland, (Mayor,) W. Cundall, J. P., R. Brecken, J. P., H. Haszard, J. P., Edward Palmer, M. P. P., Chas. Pal- mer, W. Heard, J. P., George Beer, J. P., Daniel Davies, J.

THE PURCHASE OF THE CUNARD ESTATES.

To tHe Evitor oF tHe Examiner Siz :—

I observe by the ditferent papers that the Government have purchased the Cunard Es- tates, amounting to 212,000 acres, for the sum of £53,000 sterling, or £89,500 currency— one-half the amount to be paid within eighteen months in four instalments—the other half in ten years by debentures bearing five per cent interest. This, Sir, in eighteen months will take from our circulating medium about £45,- 000 currency, which will be required in gold or Sterling Bills of Exchange, which will greatly affect the accommodation our merchants require of the Banks, as well as the great re- striction of Bank accommodation, and withdraw from our enterprising tradesmen, fishermen and farmers the small loans they require and obtain to carry on their business, for the Government will have to raise this £45,000 by the sale ot

Cunards now to pocket some £50,000 more for their lands than they would have got if the Loan Bill had got the Royal sanction ; and now, Sir, we find those Bills the only measures the Government attempt to earry out for the benefit of the tenantry, after the abuse heaped upon the Li- beral Government for purchasing land, by which it was said there would be a loss, when now it is freely admitted by the friends of the Govern- ment that there will be a loss of from £36,000 to £40,000 on the purchase of the Cunard pro- perty, besides the embarrasment of trade, above alluded to, which would be prevented had the Loan Bill passed; for now the Banks would have had the benefit of the £100,000 sterling to meet the wants of the merchants, and the Government would not feel embarrased by the outery against them of tuk.ng so much money out of the Banks, to meet their instal- ments ;° besides, the credit of thé Colony would be increased to the extent of the £150,000 eurreucy, payable in fwenty years instead of fen.

YHE foreign Periovicars aboveenumerated are regularly published by us in the same style aud with the same prompthess a* heretofore. ‘Those who Knew them and who have long sub- scribed to them, weed.wo reminder from us; those whom the civil war of the Jast tew years has de- prived of their ence weleome supply of the best periodical Literature, will be glad te have our; publicattuns aguin brought withia their reach and those who, residing far inland, remote irom

never yet have met with them, will assuredly be well pleased to have the means pointed out of bringing accredited reports of the progress of European science and literature to their home- steads in the Western prairies of the Southern plantations.

Blackwood's Magazine also continues to run its race ably. Equalling the more sedate quar- terlies in its literary and scientific departments, ite pages are enlivened with well told narratives and clever sketchy papers, which, by their veca- sioual republication ia book form, have been stamped as far superior to ordinary magazine literature. Bulwer aud Lever and Mrs. Oliphant have written uueh of late in ite pages. At pre- sent the Chronicles of Carlingford by Mra. O., the O'Dowd Papers by Lever, aud the Memoirs of the Centederate War for Independence, by Von Berk, of J. E. B. Stuart's Staff, are tavorite serials running on from number te number.
