A large meeting of Electors and Merchants of Charlottetown. was hold in tho'l‘eiupcrnuco Hall. on Friday evening last. Fred'k iireckeu. Esq“ having been called to the Chair. announced the object of the meeting to be.“ The discussion of the Financial state of the Colony.-the necessity for a Loan Bili.——tha encouragement of the Fisheries. and other measures. to support which it may be deemed necessary to pledge our Representatives—3’

P. W. IIyndmeu. Esq., then addressed the meet- ing. He thought it right to pledge our Represent» lives to support measures which will relieve the present financial depression. caused by the mode in which the payments for the Cunard Estate were being made. A Loan from abroad was. he consider- ed. ehsoluiely necessary to enable the Government to pay for Pro rietery Lands without crippling the trade of the sland. During the last few months £30.000 had been sent away. or virtually so. and during the nestthree months £19.00) more would have to be paid. The withdrawal of such a large amount from circulation must. he said. depress Trade. and curtail the business of the Benks. lie heard complaints of this from ell ports of the country. He did not for a moment wish to condemn the pur- chase oi lend by the Government.—-—l:e merely found fault with the mode of payment. The Lend I’ur' chase Bill and Loan Bill had been brought forward together. and they should never have been separated. Some. he knew. objected to a Loan. end seidthet at the present time an Imperial Guarantee could not be obtained. This Guarantee he did not consider ne- cessary. Our Bonds could. he thought. he sold in the English market without it. He strongly con. demoed the Government for purchasing land so extensively without providing funds out of the Island to pay for if. The little money in the Island was all required for the purposes of trade. In conlusion. he remarked that the encouragement of the Fisheries was a subject also before the meeting. and he would like to hear ether gentlemen express their opinion on these matters.

Mr. Arch. McNeill was pleased to see that the meeting was called by no particular party. end that no party feeling existed. Now on the eve of a General Election. was the proper time to agitate measures for the good of the country. If the land could be paid for by borrowing money abroad.— leaving our own money in the Island to meet the re- quirements of trade.—tlie Government. he thought. should do so. He considered, too. that the Govcin- ment should grant a bounty to encourage the Fisher- ies. and he hoped to hear the matter discussed. Ile would recommend that resolutions should be sub mitted. embodying the views of the meeting on these subjects.

Hon. Geo. Coles said that those present were, doubtless. aware that for many years he had favor- ed a Loan Bill. and he disapproved of tho Govern- ment purchasing lend unless with the assistance of such a measure. The £40,000 drawn out of the country would. he said. lessen the issue of the Banks to the extent of at least £90,000. fled the Cunerd Estate been purchased under the Loan Bill. there would not be such a depresshin in trade and money matters. At the time the loan was passed here. the British Government offered to guarantee 1300.000. and to not as the agents oi the Island. He did not think they would be willing to do that now. owing to our opposition to their expressed wishes on the subject of Confederation. but the loan might be ob- tained without such a guarantee. and he would be willing to rely upon the credit of the Island. The manner in which the Cunard Estate was being paid for. was. he considered. unjust to the mercantile com- munity.

('has. Palmer Earp. said he was happy to find that Confederation had been settled at the previous ninet- ings. and that the people had now leisure to discuss other matters. A Loan Bill was recommended by the trading community. but it was necessary to be- ware of Class Legislation. The Government had acted rasth in engaging to pay so large a sum as £79.000 entirely out of the resources of the country. While art of the debentures for the Selkirk Estate wee sti l unpaid. the Cunerd Estate was purchased. and the Government agreed to pay the lllm of £18.- 030 or £20,000 about the beginning of the year. They gave the Banks no notice of their intention to draw specie. but Governments being big people. the Banks bed to submit. This curtailed the circulation of the nountry to the extent of three times that amount. A Loan. he thought. should be obtained. and no Imperial Guarantee was. he considered. ab- solutel necessary. Our bonds would, probably. sell in the English market without such a guarantee.

lion. James Duncan considered that the dullness of sole for vessels in England had more to do with the monetary depression than the purchase of Pro- prietary Estates. Were these vessels sold. and their value in exchange in circulation here. the mono market would not be in the state in which it is. f money required to be borrowed to pay for land. why not borrow it here?

J. S. Carvell. Esq.. urged that. as our'circulaiing medium was only about two-fifths of that in the other Provinces. in proportion to the population. the withdrawal of so large a sum had e much greater effect than it otherwise would. To remedy this the Loan Bill was. he considered. the best measure that could at present he brought forward.

Fred. Bracken. Esq. said he had come to the meetiugthst he might hear the views of the mer- chnuto on the question. He professed to know little of commerce. but could feel the present depression. Though caused in a great measure by the purchase of the Cunerd Estate. there was much truth in what Mr. Duoeen had said of the dullness of sale of us— sols. Ho trusted he would be always ready to help the commercial interests of the Island. imspooiive of party feeling. He thought it. however. unsound policy to pledge Representatives. A pledged Rep; sosontotivo was useless. Whether the Loan one be obtained without any imperial Guarantee. he was not pro to soy. Atpresent our debentures would probeb y sell. at a runioun discount. He would say only this. that-the Loon Bill must be a Government manure. but he would support any measure to re- lievo the present depression. He would. however. decline binding himself head and foot to sup ort any snob measure. The opinion of these w o now

wished to pledge him might change. and if he were 1’"

pledged he must adhere to one po icy.

Hr. McNeil] thought that the opinion of the meet. log should be taken. Candidates, though they might not be pledged. would be influenced by the expressed wishes of their constituents.

The question of b bounty to encourage Mackerel fishing having been brounht before the meeting. Mr. Breckon remarked that the subject had never been properly before the Legislature. lie was in favor of greeting e smell bounty. loss in our chief breech of industry.

r. Colon replied that our Mechanics' Fishing’ Company had proved that no concern mantle the. way of beauty was roquirod. This agony bed» jest dsclsrodo dividend of Superman e hoped:

t

ed that the Americans would soon see the wisdom. of taking off the duty. . Mr. Hall remarked that he did not come to the; meeting to offer any remarks on the encouragement. of the It‘ishereies. It had. however, been said that tlie’li‘ishing business needed no‘ encouragement iu the way of bounty. because a certain Company had paid a dividend of 20 per cent. He knew nothing oi the management. of this Company. but something of last year‘s fishing. and could ensure the meeting that there were very few vessels fishing last year from this Island that paid expenses. The same run of luck that gave the Company 20 per cent this year might not occur again. He knew the country felt the effects of the land purchase.—he felt it himself indirectly.——but he felt more than this. the duty on Mackerel in the United States. The buninoso under this duty could not pay. that was s certainty. No country evei‘ had a better opportunity to carry on fishing than this Island. and he thought it the duty of the Government to encourage it. He had no doubt that good terms with the United States would yet be obtained. but the Island would in the mean. time have to pay something to prevent the business dying out.

Mr. Colon said he knew a gentleman who carried on a fishing business perhaps second only to Mr. Hall’s and he did not consider a bounty necessary. Ho (Mr. Coles) did not think farmers should be taxed to pay fishermen; who did little to benefit

are.

Mr. Hall replied that fishermen did benefit farm. ers by consuming their produce. The farmers too had an indirect bounty in the shape of Model Forms. c..

The following Resolutions were put and carried almost unanimously:

Moved by 1‘. W. lIyndinan Earp, seconded by J. S. Carvell. Esq.—

Resolved, That it is the opinion of this meeting that a loan. to enable the Government to pay for Proprietor lends. should meet with the approve of the Legislature of this Colony.

Moved by Mr. Archibald MoNeill, seconded by Hon. George Beer-

Resolved. That for the due encouragement sadde- velopmenf of the Fisheries of this Island this meet- ing deems it expedient that a bounty should be granted by the Legislature-

Mr. Cni'vell having been called to the chair. a vote of thanks was given to Mr. Brecken for his able conduct as chairman, end the meeting dis- parsed—Pat.

Tm: Nomination for Qiieen’s County. which took place yesterday. was the most peaceful we ever witnessed. in fact. even the most bitter opposition- isto were courteous to one another. There will be a contest in every District of this County excepting the Third. Messrs. Coles and Kelly. the old candi- dates for that District, standing high in the opinion of their constituents. both Conservative and Liber- al. deemed. and justly. too. that they could confer no greater mark of favor upon their old and well. tried representatives, than by allowing them to walk the course in peace.

Moat: POLITICAL Memos or 81'. Plt‘l'llt'B.-— Mr. Reilly attended three meetings in this District last week. one at Mr. John Carey's on \Vednosday ; another at Little Pond Schoolhouse ; and the third at Mr. John IIaudrahan‘s. North Side. on Friday. All these meetings wore well attended. and the sup- port accorded Mr. Reilly was so encouraging as to ensure his success. Mr. Clark was evidently dis- couraged. and it is doubtful if he will. after all. contest the Election. Should he do so. we feel con- fident that he will be defeated by large odds.

W's: learn from Prince County that Dr. Gran; is in the field. on the Liberal interest. for the 2d District, against Messrs. Yen and Ramsey. the Conservative members. It is said the Doctor's chances are very fair.
