THE LOAN BILL.

Avrer a)! the sneering and scofling of the Tories with respect to the fate of this measure, which we were informed would never receive the favourable consideration of the British Go- yernment —we rejoice to inform our readers that the principle of the Bill has been affirmed by resolution in the H@use of Commons, and that the Imperial guarantee for the Loan is now secured beyond question. We have no doubt that, ere

this, a Bill has passed through all its stages in Parliament,

THE POLITICAL PARSON OF GEORGETOWN.

Tuts worthy, not content with the sorry exhibition he made

| of himself at the recent meeting for the nomination of candi- 1

| dates at Georgetown, has so insatiable a craving for notoriety : '

that he must rush into print and make ‘ confusion worse cov-

| founded’’ by the singular infelicity with which he seeks to blind In the Pro- ant the following extract appeared ,»show- ing the animus of the Reverend Andrew Lochhead ;—

‘*f have been noticing the movements of Rome in this Island. Indeed, k fvel quite satisfied in my own mind that they are the same in spirit which led to the establishment of the faquisition in Spain,—the massacre of St. Bartholomew in Franee,—and the not less awful massacre of the Protestants in Ireland, in the last centary. ‘To all of which, I woald earnestly cail the attention of Protestants in this Island.”

In the issue of the Prolector of the 26th his Reverence lucu- brates as follows :—

* [ wished, as an admirer of Mr. Haviland, to bear publie testimony to his noble and bold defence of the Bible and its eause in the House of Assembly.”’

And again :—~

‘« But, Sir, although the meeting was a political one, I need ) not inform you that there was a great religious question lying jat the bottom of the proeeediags,—tor Whelan lets out the | secret by mentioning the Bible, although I most carefully ab- stained at the meeting, during the remarks which I made, (from introdueing religion, or the mention of that blessed Book there referred to. This, then, was the main-spring of my | movement, and [ hope my brethren will sco that the present

i |

justified in proposing Mr. Haviland.”’ J i 5

Well, after this, who would have expected the reverend

politician to have proposed as a candidate Andrew McDonald, | Esquire, a Catholic, and one whose vote in the Assembly is recorded in direct opposition to ** the noble and bold ’* course | h I

as ‘‘of the earth, earthy,’’ in the following touch of the poli-

pursued by Mr. Haviland, more especially when ‘ the present i But the rath will out, and the parson, following in the footsteps of

noment calls for such bold and decided means!”’ 1is illustrious predecessor, ** doffs the cleric’? and comes out,

| tician. He is allading to his nomination of Mr. McDonald :-—

| ‘* [tis trae that I did what he says in this particular; and | the reason is, that the parties are so equally balanced that it

was considerad by the most intelligent in this town as a most desirable line of policy to let things remain as they were, so 'as to prevent thé heat and contention of a strongly contested | eleetion,—believing, as there is good ground for believing, that | the same parties will be returaed after the battle isover! !!” Now, how the necessity for ‘* the bold and decided means,”’ | previously stated to exist, on such a subject as the alleged in- | fraction of Protestant rights, can be so conveniently ignored

| by a Protestant clergyman on such grounds, we leave to his

| Reverence’s admiring friends to discover, though we hope they will not be ** pat to confusion of face,’’ as he has no hesitation ‘in saying, ‘‘I have not blush to spare for the occasion.”

The truth would have been as fairly put forth to the world, and the sentence would have been more terse and explicit, if it had concluded without any reference to ‘‘ the oecasion.’’ Not wishing to weary our readers by multiplying extracts, showing the wriggling inconsistencies which characterise a clergvman’s attempts to reconcile his partizan feelings with his professional character and sacred functions, we shall, while

and that the next English Mail will bring advices to His Ex- }oe this topic, just ask our readers to contrast his opinion, that

felleney the Lieutenant Governor, that no obstacle remains to the obtaining of any portion of the £100,000 sterling, should it be required for the purchase of Township lands. Money is

Bow very abundant in England, and can be readily obtained

*t from 3 to 34 per cent., and there ean be no doubt that the |

Debentures of this Colony, guaranteed by the British Govern- ment, would be promptly taken in the Stock market at, per-

baps, the lower figure.

Now, if land proprietors, both here and abroad, want to| prove the sincerity of their professions of attachment to the | interests of their tenantry, they will at once offer their lands | for sale to the Government in the terms of the Purchase Bill. They can no longer use the paltry excuse. that there is no use in offering to sell to the Government, when the Government has pot the money to buy. The Government can now command the money, whenever it may be required; and if tho land- lords and their agents will co-operate with the local authori- ties, the long-suffering and Jong-complaining tenantry of this Island may be placed on the high road to independence and prosperity. If they will not sell upon the equitable terms offered under the Purchase Bill, and suffer the present agita-

tion about the Land Question to continue —if agents and

-if they are determined to keep the majority of the people

returned, with the following sentence, with which the precious epistle winds up :—

‘¢ Time will tell whether the so-called Liberal party, now so busy at Georgetown, will not have occasion to regret the. re- jection of my proposal, to let things remain as they were.’’

Thus wuch for this man’s appearance on the political arena. We have shown, from his own pen, that he must be either re- ereant to his duty by nominating Mr. McDonald, while his support was so frankly accorded to ‘* the noble and bold course’? which Mr. McDonald opposed, or that a conscientious sense of duty as a Minister of the Gospel was strongly leavened by the morbid desire of political agitation, and, consequently, the robes of the priest were soiled by the mire of political tur- moi]. On one or other of the horns of the dilemma Mr. Loch- head has impaled himself, and he may select which he chooses :

“Under which king, Bezonian, speak or die.”

The individual ‘‘of such doubtful character as Mr. Whelan” can assure the Reverend gentleman, that, duly sensible of the Christian spirit which prompted the sneer, his character has never been matter of doubt, as to whether he were a Minister of the Gospel or a red-hot political zealot ; and he charitably

We must now dismiss this subject, and trust that what we have written may induce the Georgetown political parson to reflect, that when once a clergyman abdicates the sacredness of his calling by mixing himself up in the strifes of contending politicians, he but degrades his cloth, diminishes his inflaence asa Christian pastor, and alienates the affections.of his con- gregation.

In bidding him good-bye for the present, we caution him in all kindness to mind his own business — say his prayers — re- pent, and strive to cultivate a spirit more becoming his pro- fession ; but above all things, not to involve himself in such a mass of contradictions as we have noticed among the reasons for his appearance at a political gathering. They impose not upon intelligent men, and but suggest the recollection of the story of a mad bull, which, having made a violent onslaaght upon @ canny Scotch farmer, missed his aim, and as the dis- appointed animal stood angrily pawing the ground on the wrong side of the fence, and grumbling out his ineffectual bel- lowings at his intended victim, on the right side of the Sence, was addressed by the latter in the following strain: Oo, d—n it, ye mischievious brute, ye need not stand there, booin’ and scrapin’, ye ken weel enough ye did it on purpose.”

THE SOURIS MEETING.

We have received from Mr. Alexander Leslie, jun., a state- ment, similar to one which appeared in the Islander of Fri- day last, purporting to be an account of the public meeting held at Souris, on the 22d inst. We are requested to give a place to this statement in the columns of our paper. We cannot comply with this request. As a general rule, we give reports of public political meetings when requested to do so, but then we must be satisfied that the reports are faithful and impartial ones. Mr. Leslie’s is not one of this description. We were present on the oceasion referred to, as our readers already know, and we can assure them that Mr. Leslie's report is not a correct one, inasmuch as it does not give all the facts connected with the proceedings of the meetirg — omits to notice the riotous conduct of the Messrs. McGowan, McEachen and others — glosses over the blackguard violence of the’mob led on by those worthies, and states some things as having occurred, which never occurred. We have neither time nor Space now to correct the errors in the report referred to, or supply the omissions; but we shall make it our business to do this in our nextissue, as we think the outrageous assan!t made upon the freedom of logitimate discussion, hy individuals whose position in society ought to have dictated better con- duct, was such as to justify the most emphatic condemnation 84h Lavnen of a spLenpip New Snip. — A fine clipper-built

Lord Derby said the resignation had been acce with regret, but admitted that he considered the publication of the

espatch premature and injudicious.

Lord Shaftesbury explained the terms of his motion of cen- sure against the Government, which, in effect, takes the same ground as that proposed in the House of Commons, and bases the complaint on the supposition that Government acted in the matter without a full knowledge of the proceedings of Lord Canning.

Steamship City of Washington, from Liverpool 10 A. M, May 12, arrived at this port this evening.

The news by this arrival is interesting, a ministerial crisis in England being regarded as imminent,

A resolution had been proposed ia the House of Commons by Mr. Curdwel!, and in the House of Lords by Lord Shaftesbury, censuring Government for the publication o! their despatuhes to the Gov. General uf Ludia, in regard to bis proclamation to the people of Oude. Kllenborough assumed all the responsibility, and resigned. *His resigna- tion was accepted,

The resolution was to -be considered the day after the sailing of the City of Washington.

The House of Commons bad disagreed to the amendments to the Jew bill, and admitted Baron Rothschild as a member of their committee on the disagreement with the Lords.

Sir Henry Bulwer has been appointed Minister ta Con- stantinople; atd Hon. Kdward Kvskine Secretary of Legation at Washington.

The Times says the resolution of censure wil] be supported by Lord John Russell, and the Pvelite party, as well as Palmerston.

Speculations were rife as to whether the Ministry would resign or dissolve Parliament, iu the event of' the passage of the resolution.

Calcutts dates are of April 9. The news is unimportant.

A resolution to admit Baron Rothschild as a member of the Committee, was debated, but without definite action.
