W3 publish in to-dsy's paper a very interesting Parliamentary summary from the last Palriulmn the subject of Reci- procity. Mr. Bell certainly deserves credit for his indefatigable efforts to ob- tain free trade for the Island. .At any attempt made to obtain Iteei roetty in a right and proper way. we eartly co- incide. mad this Revamp“:- ooriho will yet find that out.

Tun Summerside Bank has again com- menced to discount.

()n's have fallen very low in this mar- ket. compared with what they previously sold for. \Vc hear that many of our fsrners have large quantities on hand, and will suffer a heavy loss by not bring- ing them into the marke: last Fall. The highest price oil'ered now is 23. 3d.

Lanes quantities of potatoes are of- fered in the market and no one seems disposed to purchase. They sold the other day for 1s. per bush.

FLOUR has declined very much lately- .A good article sold in Charlottetown last week for 30s. per barrel. This is good news for the poor man.

Tm: farmers in many parts of the country are busy ploughing, and several of them have sown wheat.

Fat-Isl! herring were selling hereon Monday last for 6d. per dozen.

Till egg fever is again prevalent in our midst. All the merchants want to catch it. They are selling for Sid. per dozen.

On Tuesday last the Steamer St Lawrence made her iirst trip. for this season. to this tort. She makcsa splendid appearance, loving been all refitted and painted. The oilicers are E Evans. Commander; Capt. Lund. l’ilot; Mr. Itlchrth , Mate; Mr. Turner. En rlneer; Mr. \\ m. (.‘bandlcr. Steward. \ iih such a boat and such on (11101an stofl‘oi ofilcers. the traveling pub- lic need have no tour of their property or lives. Tile regular summer arrangement has not yet been made. For the present the boat leaves Charlottetown for Supi- mcrsido and Shediao every Tuesday and Friday mornings. at 7 o‘clock.

The Princess of Walu will run to George- town, Souris and l’iclou.

Tho Ilca'her lid/c will run to Mount Stewart. (.rupnud and Orwell.

Tut-2 pcrsistency oi the Nor/h Star in Its evil course, null its resolution to persevere lbcrcin. even unto the death limit the tool (llt'lll, reminds us of a speech which. as it was uttered by a Western orator in Coil- grcss, lately, cannot offend any American toudy like its editor :—

“ I will stand here, Mr. Speaker. until the unch snaps his last gun. I will stand here until the little ants carry me out pic- cemoal through the key hole. I will stand here until Gabriel tin-s tho crack of doom amid the wreck of matter. nml the crush ot‘boards. until Asia tumbles into Africa. and the polar (North) Star is left. to glean like the eye of hell or a mighty void oi collateral chaos."

Ssvcnsl. barrels of oysters have already been brought into market. They sold for 8s. per bsrrel.

Tn: roads are now Ina-hocking bad state. If some stones were new thrown into the holes and rats they would he of good service.

A public meeting for the purpose of ap- pointing l-‘ire Wardens and Assessors for Sumnierside. for the ensuing year. will be held on Wednesday, tilt-6th May, in the Court Hoom.

Wu were shown the other day a very beati- tiful Painting. the work of Mr . lionnu'r UllIION. of this place. The scene represent- cd is the visit or the Magi or wise 111011 from the East. to the infant Jesus in Bethlehem. The most conspicuous figures in the fore ground is one of the Magi, in a kneeling posi- tion, presenting his gifts to the infant, who is sitting on the la 1 at his mother Mary. and unlit-sting his del gilt lit the bright appear- once of the richly carvcdprcsent. by reaching his arms in a babysiillo manner towards it. Joseph the husband of Mary. is represented as looking earnestly at the Trio. and evidently relating something of an important I store. A little in the rear are two ltomun soldiers en- gaged in conversation. On the left wing of the picture is a Turkish Philosopher, in it full costume, witll his gift in his arms. 110 is i|p~ parcntly in a very thoughtful mood, and his gorgeous robes denote that lie is a man oi rank. On the right wing is a wise man from Ethiopia. with his servant behind him. In his arms are some very rich treasure. Want of space will not permit us ti; do justice in

rloscrlbin the magnificent buildings and sculptured columns that rise in the back ground. A-llttlo vegetation is introduced

very eil‘eetively. which with the sky and dis- tnnt hills, throws ll llfo-llko appearance on the Picture. and leaves the clnpression on ones mind that prospectus aml distribution of colors have been strictly observed by the Artist. To be able fully to appreciate this Painting it must be soon. We understand that Mr. Gibson intends sending it to llarvic's Book Store. Charlottetown, and ‘then the folks there will be able to judge of the Arti- snn's skill .

During a debate on the Educational Bill in the Bavaria Chambers to-dsy, the Prime Min- lstcr l’rlneo IIohenloe made a remarkable speech. Altar pretestlnu against tllo entrance of any party feeling whatever in the consider- ation of: uestlons concerning the Church, he procccucl to stigmallse the eneyellcal letter of the Pope as contrary to the spirit of the age. and as one oi'tho cuuscs ufthc ditl‘erenees which have arisen between the Church and the State.

Madrid advices states that another informal meeting of members of the majority in tin.- Cortcs. was held to-day, to nominate s can- dldute for the throne. So great was the diver- sity of opinion. that the meeting broke up without result. leaving the meeting more widely divided than before on the subject. Prime Minister Serrano declared that the choice of Montpensier for King. or a declar- ation ofa Ilepublic. were the only possible alternatives. Gen. l’rim, who was also pre- sent, remained silent throughout the proceed- ings. 111s conduct has given rise to a wide- spread belief that he would not be unwilling to accept the Presidency of a Spanish Repel» ileun. Tito Cortes is considering a project for the rc-organizutiou of the army on the Prussian system.

London, April 28.

The “ Morning Post" has an elaborate editorial article on the Cuban question. The writer says itis asserted that President Grant has a longing eye on Cuba. and is not unwilling to illsll'llcl the attention of the people from their internal affairs by a lore gn war. The issue of a conflict be- tween United States and Spain cannot be doubtful unless England and France inter4 lore. A blow at Cuba would be a blow at all the West Indies, and the acquisition of Cuba might be followed by the acquisi- tion oi Jamaica and Martinique etc. The " 1’ost“gocs on to quote the recent ne- quisitions ul Territory by the United States in proof ot her desire to acquire piece-meal tho possessions oi'lbc European powcrsin America. It. would be mllurni to begin with Cubu, bulongln to the weakest oi the three iOWUI‘S holding possessions in the West lud cs. it may be that France and England will determine whether. in the event 01 the Ochutiou of the designs oi Cuba. they will llltl Spain to retain hcr colony. or calmly look on.

Thu l-‘reneh papers agitate the question ill much the some \‘ll‘ll’. S lecialmcetiugs ol the Fru uch Cabinet were told yesterday, and on Tut-inlay. on the same subject. A special agent was dcspntehcd to London last night. to eouuuunicnto with the English Government in regard to the complications.

Washington, April 22.

At an interview between the Spanish Minis- tcrnud Secretary Fish, on 'l'ucsduy.t|le latter refused to issue a proldumutiou discouraging “bluish-ring expeditions to Cuba. lie also informed Senor llobnrls tlmtlbo United States Government considered the English Govern- ment liable for the capture oi the brig Mary Imu‘rll. and I‘t-pcrullbll had therefore been dc- nuludcd through the liritish Ministers. Ilc also said that he llnd demanded full rcpcrution nudllnlcmily from Spain for tho capture of the scbr. l.l::l'z .ilnjor, uml that ifnn answer was tint forthcoming shortly war would ensue. Secretary Fuh's action has caused great ('Xt'llt'lut'lll. in England. Spain. and the United States.

Tne second number ofn new journal, the Imperioll'sl. has n; poured. It announces timl. Its object is to prepare the people of the United States for revolution. which is alike desirable and inevitable. Democrat-y, though theoretically plausible. has resulted in fall- ure—has been found to lunch nothing but lawlessness and insecurity to person aml pro- pi-rty—rubblng oi‘pcrrounl creditors and civil war; while monarchicnl institutions on the other lmud. mean low. order. and security. public faith. and peace. We quote. verbatim as follows- “ Thuttbc Government of the United Stntts is as thoroughly corrupt us the skillful villintly of knuves, swimlicrs and thieves. plnccd ill oillco by the will ofpeoplc can make it, is a fact that none can deny. That we have reached a crls in our national uii'nlrs, when the establishment ofa pure, strong. central govcrmucut. is essential to the prosperity of our national life. is equally np- pnrcut. The only question to be decided is . How can this change be ctfcctcd?

London, April 25. It is rumored that the Government will adopt a new and bold policy as to tin: Spanish Cuban question. llclligcrcnt rights are to be conceded to the Cuban Insurgents. assistant-o rendered. uml the inilcpcndnncc of the island assured. This. it is argued. will prevent annexation to the United States, and givo a show of con- sistcncy to the Alli/um": claims and beligcr- cut rights question pending with the American Government. Despalchcs from Madrid report that a great pilplllill‘llt‘llltllltlll'tltllill was made there yes- terday in favor of u llt'lllllllll! . It is rumored that a dispute between the Prime Minister and Gen. I’rbu has lately arisen. A resolution condemning the conduct of the patriarch of the Antilles was brought be fore the Cortes yestcrday. lllurslini Serrano opposed it. intimnttng that its adoption would be an implied censure of the Government. The resolution was then withdrawn.
