THE KING OF SARDINIA.

We were not wrong ia the estimate we formed of the nature of the reception which the true-hearted and gallant King of Sardinia weald be certain ef receiving from the hands of cur countrymen. Wherever he his appeared—| whether by himself, as at ¢he Guildhall of the City of London, | or in company with our own gracious and deeply-loved | 4Jueen, as at Woolwich, or ia association with the Prince | Consort, as at Portsmouth—he has been greeted with the same warm and hearty enthusiasm—the same lively and | ardent tukens of the admiration and regard in which ‘he is held by the freeborn population of the British islands. This is as it should be. At @ moment when so many of the great ones of the earth are coguetting between the counter prin- ciples of a barbaric despotism and an enlightened system of free government, all honour is du2 to him who has not hesitated to frame his policy and draw his sword on the side of liberty. Lf there were a #pot on the face of the earth where the frank and manly attributes which grace the character and add dignity to the bearing of the King of Sardinia should conmmand an enthusiastic recognition, it is

an end, and resignation must ensue,

jority than their present one ; their legislation and adminis-_ tration haye been such as to win rather than lose public | confidence ; and no one imagines that the continual squirting | of dirty water from such a popgun as the Islander has ever | had the smallest tendency to drive the Executive from any | position.~ Much as they may desire it, then, the Tories must try to comfort themselyss under the reflection, that a general | election is yet nearly three years distant.

' ' Pat Beagvey acaty.—This compound of knavery, ignorance | and presumption, has recently made another spasmodic effort | to gain for himself noteriety. Foiled in his former attempt to

uve a charge of assault against the proprietor of this paper, yocause a copy of the Examiner aared some time previously | by Bearuey had been forcibly taken from him, when he began | tu display his silliness ar impertinence,—Pat beeame as | furious as a wild beast (and we doubt if he is much botter at)

He swore by all the saints in the calendar, and a} great many .more that are not in it—(would it not have been | hotter had he taken all the devils to support his imprecation ?) | —no matter, he swore that he would sell his farm—(no longe* | enriched by compulsory ‘jabonr from road contractors)—and | spend to the last shilling of the proceeds in purchasing revenge, | at the expense of every one in general who deprived him of the golden opportunity of practising interesting experiments with the public money, but especially against printers and publish- ers who would dare to use his—Pat Bearney's—name in con- | nection with such nefarious transactions. Well, Pat has taken | about five or six journeys to Charlottetown to get atonement | for the loss of a Pee of the value of 4d. . The first attempt at law did not sueceed,—the second was an action for trespass: in this action it was at once admitted that he had purchased | the paper, that it had been forcibly taken from hii after- | wards, and his money tendered back, which he refused to take. Pat’s lawyer (who, we hope, made him pay a rattling fee), | admitted that Bearney could claim no more than 4d. damages, which the astute magistrates accorded. It is nat for us to say, .in giving such a judgment, how far they eneourage the vindictive passions of every ow blackguard that may choos» to apply to them under similar circumstances. The whole

We were not surprised at reading in the last Islander thie | two editorials in which His Excellency the Lieutenant Gover-| hor is created to more than the ordinary share of abuse, simply | Deeause His Excelleney will not array himself in opposition to the best interests of the people, by governing for the benefit of

the grumbling for some months past indicated a storm.
