Iw the issue of the Prince Edward Island Register for the 15th June, 1830, we find the following advertisement :—
This is to caution all persons from trusting my wife, Bringer MULLIN, op my account, as I will pay no debts of her contracting.
JAMES MULLIN. Charlotte-Town, June 9th, 1820.
in the following week’s issue :
This is to give notice that James MULLIN, who inserted a notice in last week's Register, cautioning the public against crediting me on his account, has used me shamefully—for he would have left me to starve on the passage but for the kindness of the Rev. Mr. Mac. donald and some others of the passengers—he has altogether neglected me since our landing —and the only notice he has taken of me was by advertising me in the newspapers. But I blame his mother for the whole, for until she interfered we lived happily together. All I \ had he took from me, althongh my brother set him up in business. This is, therefore, to caution all young women against marrying the said James Mullin, pedlar, as he is already the lawful husband of

Assenbdly :
In the absence of the Lieutenant Governor the duty of administering the Government having, by appointment, devolved upon me, it affords me much pieasure to thank you for the attention which you have given to the various subjects recommend- ed to your consideration at the opening of the session, and also for the labor bestowed on the genera] business of the Province.
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of dssembly ‘

Trade With the States.
(ae Hon. Daniel Gordon submitted to the House of Assembly the following reso- lution, in amendment of the resolution sub- mitted by the Leader of the Opposition :
Whereas, The Dominion Parliament did, in the year 1879, place on the statute book of Canada a standing offer of reciprocal Free Trade with the United States on the same basis as the Treaty of 1854, and the Govern- ment of Canada in 1874 and again in 1887 in- vited the American Government to a fu'l con- sideration of the trade relations of the two countries ;
And Whereas, The said offer and invitations were not met in a friendly spirit by the Am- erican Government, but the said Government have shown clearly that no measure of Free Trade with Canada will be considered by them except on such terms as will ruin our trade with other countries, destroy our politi- cal independence and result in an oppressiye system ot direct taxation ;
And, Whereas, All questions of trade and commerce are, under the British North American Act, assigned to the exclasive con- trol of the Federal Parliament,—
Therefore Resolved, That this House, while anxious for as full a measure of free trade with the United States as the interests of
this country will permit, do not acceed to the request of the Legis- lative Council by appointing a com-
mittee to prepare an address to the Governor- General on the subject of the trade relations of Canada and the United States,
This resolution commended itself to the goul sense of a majority of the representa- tives of the people. We feel sure that it wil commend itself to the good sense of the people themselves.

Oa Monday evening, 28th ult., His Honor R. R. Fitzgerald, Q. C., Stipendiary Magis- trate of Charlottetown, delivered his lec- ture on the above subject at Monticello, King’s County. The Hall was well filled with an attentive audience.
The scene of events referred to in the lecture was laid in early colonial days. The subject-matter concerned Christian mission- aries—the lives they lived and the trials they endured in the endeavor to benefit the Indians.
The speaker paid passing notice to the political situation of Europe at this time, and depicted in brief but graphic terms the desath-struggle there taking place between the influences of the Rennaissance and the forces of Rome.
His honor then referred to the colonizing spirit of the seventeenth century. It was an age of adventure. Every vessel which crossed the ocean brought her quota of traders, settlers, or explorers, to seek for- tune or fame in the great western contin- ent. Inthe van of these came the Chris- tian missionary.
The varying fortunes of New France— now Canada—for half a century were de- tailed, as the lecturer described the suffer- ings, indignities and,tortures to which Jesuit pioneer mirsionaries had been subjected by the Iroquois.
The learned gentleman discussed the merits of those Jesuits as men, apart from their sectarian tenets. One, who had undergone excruciating turtures, but had escaped from his persecutors, votuntarily returned to the lroquois Country and this time he was mercilessly put to death. Con- sidering the true heroism with which the gentle cultured schular exposed himself to the known horrors of Indian barbarity it would appear that ‘‘ Few more God-like men than he ever trod the earth.”
In moderate but firm words Mr. Fitz- gerald denounced those who would imperil the public safety by stirring up religious discord between the Catholic and the Protestant now living at peace in this free country, the soil of which has been watered by the blood of heroes
In conclusion, Mr. Fitzgerald outlined a plan for the formatiou of a small library, so that the younger people might be able to spend their winter evenings pleasantly and profitably. He appealed to those present to pay more attention to the history of Canada—a history which, in record of un- seltish devotion and courage, could not be surpassed by that of any other nation.
Delivered in the most periect manrer and in choicest language, the lecture throughout exhibited a spirit of patriotism and fairness, while the air of calm and dig- nified thought underlying the rich and ap- propriate phrases, created on his auditors an impression scarcely less grand than did ‘*that solitude surrounding Quebec,” of which he spoke, upon the brave pioneers of Canada.
After remarks complimeutary to the lec- turer, 4 unanimous vote of thanks was pre- sented and acknowledged, and then the audience quietly dispersed.

The Seal Fishery.
SUCCESS OF THE NEWFOUNDLAND VESSELS— GOOD EFFECT OF THE PROTECTORY Law. Advices from Newfoundland are to the
effect that seals are more plentiful this season than for the last ten years. The skins have risen in price, aud are now worth $1 each. The catch up to May Ist was 2,005. Four steamers which went to the Gulf have not been heard from, and fears are entertained that they are beset with ice. The seals brought in this year are splendid, a majority of the pelts weigh- ing fifty pounds, t @ average being from 30 to 50 per cent. better than an ordinary year. The reason is that they were not taken until about the 24th of March, when they were well grown. The Neptune's cargo of 225 seals weighed 508 tons 8 cwt., which was equal to 345 seals of the average weight of other years. The crew of 307 men received $53 each. The Greenland’s seals weighed 320 tons and 13 cwt., and the crew shared $41 each. ‘Three years ago a law was passed with a view to lessen- ing the destruction of old seals, which had been going on recklessly for many years, and threatened the ultimate extermiuation of the animals. The new law, prohibiting killing of seals after April 20, the time when formerly the killing of old seals be- gan, and also prohibiting any steamers leaving port for a second trip after the first of April. The goods affects of this are al- ready apparent.
