chcral officers of the army, of“ a religious turn of‘ mind, have recently been in the habit of upon-lingo considerable portion of their leisure hours in street preaching and other public religious exercises. This practice ap- pears to have giving offence to some pro- minent parties, by whom the attention of the Horse Guards was called to the matter. and it is now stated that an order has been issued prohibiting olllccrs in Her Majesty‘s services from preaching or otherwise exercising elcri- enl functions. We can hardly believe that the military authorities have done any such improper thing. and we are sure “('1' Majesty the Queen will never give her sanction to such an order. if an otticer sees fit to spend a portion of' his time in trying to improve the morals of his fellow creatures. he is deserving of praise rather than blame. it is surely much better that he should do this tlinn tlist he should waste his time. and bring disgrace upon him-clfaml his uniform, by indulging in habits of dissipation and debauchery.

CORRESPONDENCE;

To Tu: Eon-cu or rm: Jocasat. SIR :-

Thc editor of‘ the Summersidc Progress, ‘lu an article headed "Summer-hie n Partidlse for Rowdies.“ in his paper of tho ht inst.. has thought fit in make use of the following language towards the Magistrates of Summer- siilc :-— “ Is not this a pretty state of affairs? Does it‘ not reflect credit upon the leading men of the town ? What kind of magistrates have we. that they will not. in fulfillment oftlielr oath, interfere and use ordinary endeavors to muiut: in the public peace? “ The fact is our magistrates are a not of ini- bccilcs. no more llttcil for thc oiiicc they field than so many timid women. We have known recent instances where magistrates have been called upon to have rowdics at:- rolled, and actually refused Itl‘ avadedthcir duty. much to tho disgust oi the order-lov- ing citizens who made the request. We think the best thing these magistrates can do is to resign, pro boiio publluo: for, what with the affliction of biunderlngandincnpablc representatives in the House of' Assembly. and the want of some kind of muncipal reg- ulations, or the power of making such. which throw the whole burtheu of preserv- ing the peace upon the J. R's. we must have men for magistrates who are not afraid of doing their duty." This wholesale charge by the editor of the Progress on the magistrates and representa- tives of Suuinicrsidc. is mixed up with an ac- cuunt of rioting and lighting by a gang of ruwdies at Snmmcrsldc. on the night .of'thc Catholic Tea—and a strange charge it Il— inore audacious ulid more uncalled for than anything that has yet up mined in an Island 1 newspaper.-—-'i'he l'allu i'mn. in the days of flcrcu controversy. never made so sweeping, I to broadcast an onslaught on any body ofnicn. Surely the editor oi'iliu I‘ragrm must have forgotten himself, and only that his paper goes far and wide, and might have an injurious ef- fect on the interests and good name of Sum- mer-lilo, it would not be worth noticing. Let us see who the magistrates arc—lotus lookin them and judge if they "are imbceiles. no more fitted for the ollcc than so many timid
