it is my decided conviction, that they have a two- fold object in view, in their moyements upon the American frontier, Their major object is, if pos- sible, to embroil the two countries in war; and thus they hope t perpetrate against England, by means of the United States, what they kuow full well that no power of their own can possil'!y ac- complish. Their minor object is to make such raids as shall replenish their own coffers, and keep up such a degree of excitement in the “bro- therhood” as may appear most conducive tu the primary undertaking. Resolution uuauunouslsy agreed to,

AFTERNOON SESSION.

Hon. Mr. Henderson, by command of His Ex- cellency, laid before the House several cireular despatches and other documents on the subject of representation at the Paris universal exhibition ot 1507.

A message was brought from the House of As- sembly by the Hon. Col. Gray, with a bill to “ ip- corporate the Minister and Trustees of the Pres- byterian Church at Cascumpec,” and “a bill to amend the act to incorporate the Minister and Elders ot St. Jobu’s Church, in the district of Belfast.”

WESTERN BANK BILL.

A bill to incorporate the Western Bank was, on motion, read aud committed— Hon. Mr. Wal- ker in the chair.

Hon, Mr, Ramsay: This is a bill, your honors, to incorporate a second bauk iu Prince County; but [ would hke to know why the Government have given instructions to the officers of the Treasury department not to have more thaw £100 of the Summerside bank paper in that offi- ce at any one time. Now, Summerside paid up- wards of £5000 in duties last year, and L have wv doubt but there will be as much paid this year; and if the paper of the “ Prince Edward Island Bank” er of the “ Union Bank” is takea te the lreasury to pay duties, it will be received ; but it that of (ue Summerside Bank is taken, there isan objection made to it, aud I am afraid it will have the efiect of injuring the reputation of that bank, Hot only in this Island, but alsov in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. However, there are two members of the Government present, perhaps they can give some explanation respecting the ground on which that instruction was given.

Hon. Mr. Ramsay: J understood that there was bo objection to Rustico bank paper, though they have uo agent in the city.

Hon. Mr. WaLKer: They have a travelling agent whe comes lute town twice a week. :

The House was then resumed, and the chair- man reported the bill agreed to without any amendment.

Ou motion, a bill to compel Masters of Vessels tou exhibit a light wlule in harbor in the night time, was read a secoud time and committed— Hon. Mr. Palmer in the chair.

Hon. Mr. McDONALD thought it should be the duty of the harbor master to furnish a copy of the harbor regulations to all vessels which come inte the harbors of the Island. That war *he case in other countries ; the harbor regulations were printed on a condensed form, and captains of ves- sels were furnished with thew so that they mieht | see ata glance what ther duties and habilities were Masters of vessela often complained that | they got inte trouble for want ef such mestructions. Sometiows masters of vessels, coming info the harbor for shelter, were vot aware that they were obliged to report at the Custom House within twenty-four hours, but the law was very strict on this point, and they should know it.

Hon. Mr. Pkesipent observed that he had seen two hundred vessels in Richmond Bay at one tite, and it would entail a good deal ot | trouble upon the horbor master to furnish each | vessel with the harbor instructions. He thought | the collector of light dues would be a more suit- | able person to perform that duty. The sugges- tion uf his honor was a good one, if it could be carried out. Sometimes when the collector ot light dues went on board a vessel, the master doubted whether he vas liuble to pay dues, and | it he had the harbor regulacivus it might save a good deal of trouble.

How. Mr. HENDERSON thouught it would be sufficient to furnish each officer with a few copies so that in eases where it was deemed necessary, masters of vessels might be supphed with them. It would be a consid -rable item in the public ex- penditure if every petty vessel had to be supplied with a copy.

Hon. Mr. ANDERSON was of opinion that it ' would be well to supply each officer with a few | copies, so that masters of vessels who wished to | have the inetructions might purchase them. | len. Mr. McDonaupo bad no doubt but it would do very well to have the instructions for | sale, if masters of vessels would purchase them, | | but he thought they would vot be inclined to do | |8) When just visiting a port. It was the duty of |

the collector of light dues to show hie authority, | and it would be a good excuse for masters of ves- | sels to refuse payment if they were not aware of | the regulations, The expense ef printing them

| would not be very great. Vessels belonging te

i the Island would not require to be furnished with | | then mare than onee. | The House then resumed, and the chairman

as one member of it. am shy in taking such mat

CHARLOTTETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD

On motion of the Hon. Mr. Beer, a bill to in” corporate the Charlottown Woolen Factory Com- |

pany was read a seeond time House adjourned.

Wepnespay, April 25.

A bill “to compel Masters of Vessels to exhibit a light while in harbor in the night time.” and a bill to incerporate the “ Western Bank” were severally read the third time and passed.

The House then resolved itself inte a eommit- tee of the whole, on the bill to incerperate the “Charlottetown Woolen Factory Company.”

Ilon. Arry. Gen : Though it is not the pro- per time, strictly speaking, to discuss the principle of the bill. yet L rise to express my satisfaction at Seeing a measure of this nature before the House, and | will give it my hearty concurrence and sup- port. 1 think a manufactory of this kind is like- ly te prove not only a profitable speculation to the Company who engage in it, buta great advantage to the interests of the Colony. I rejoice to find that enterprise is waking np in this branch of busi- ness, for | always thought it would pay if follow- ed up with discretion and energy. I donot speak from my own imperfect knowledge of the subj: et, but from the experience of others who have come te this evlony and witnessed our fine country with the cheapness of living. They have expressed their surprise that we should export our wool in a raw state, and allow our neighbours to send it back manufactured, aud thus lose all the advan- tages of having it manufactured at home. I be- lieve the manufacturers would be able to feed their men cheaper in this Island than in any other part of Her Majesty’s dominious; and if labor could be obtained, and I believe it: could—for if we had a good manufactory established, the sup- ply of labor would follow the demand—it would prove a profitable speculation. Many youths are growing up among us who are at a loss for em- ployment. Then with the cheapness of food and an abundance of wool, the enterprise must sue- ceed, and 1 hope and trust that it will be followed up with that energy with which it sppears to be begun. I do net see why we should not manu facture cloth in this country sufficient for nine-

like this where the coarser textures are more suitable. Tam glad te see the enterprise under- taken, and 1 am confident that others will soun follow.

Hon. Mr. Beer: I would also expres my gra- tification at seeing such a company formed, aud we should have more of the same description. 1 believe there is abundance ef labor to be obtained in Charlottetown. A great many men of the la- boring classes are out of employment in the win- ter, and not properly employed in the summer ; besides it is well Known that they can live at a cheaper rate than in almost any other part of the world. I did hope that we would have something before us respecting the manufacture of flax. Some may think it would be better to let factories of that kind grow up without Government aid, but I think they should be fostered a little at first, and ultimately they will be a great benefit to the Colony. 1 hope and trust this euterprise wall prove a profitable speculation to the stockholders.

Hon. Mr. Henperson: If I cannot do more than re-echo the sentiments expressed, I am wil- ling to do that; but I am certainly highly grati- fied to see such a speculation entered ito. [also have felt much like his honor who has just spoken with regard to the labouring population of Char- lottetown.

My reply te them has been, ** Go into the country, aud you will be able to earn your living, and I will do all L can to encourage you.” This practice is carried to such an extent that many young persons are injured in both their physica! aud moral natures; but I am glad to see something undertaken which will be likely to give In regard to the cultiva- tion of flax.

THE PROPOSED CON- FERENUR,

The Austrian Cabinet insisted that all the powers represented should undertake to demand no modification of frontier; but as it would have been a mere farce to huld a Conference under any such limitation, the purpose is abandoned. The differences now will have to be settled by the great armies that are already ing motion, bat when suchf armies engage in conflict it is impossible tu foresee the issue ; and all we know is that fearful scenes of carnage and desolation must take place before the combatants are recon- cikd. Austria bas, no doubt, received great provocation, bat a high-minded forbearance might have been expected from such a power, and the exhaustion of all peaceable modes of adjustment would have been characteriatic of Imperial diznity, before recourse was had to the dread arbitrament of war. The French Government. was the first to decline trifling

with so imporiant a subject; and when France aguin appears in connection with it, it may be sword in hand, to advise, that ie to say compel, a peace.

It is stated that when the English Ambas- sador in Paris solicited the cv-operation of the Emperor Napoleon in favour of peace, His Majesty rey lied that twice had England opposed his own proposals with reference to the questions of Venetia and Schleswig-Hol- stein, and now that peace had become desir- able for British interest, it was rather a selfish thing to ask for his mediation. * 1 also de- sire peace,’’ His Majesty is reported to bave suid ; ** but as the most favourable oppor- tunities have been frittered away, and as cunflicting interests have been permitted to reach a point at which they must clash, 1 can no longer assume the responsibilty of events."’ Something of this kind may have occurred, since it is iikely enough the Em- peror, annoyed by England’s refusal to inter- fere in European troubles in 1859 and 1864, would not furego the opportunity of vindicat- ing sentiments which the British Government had disapproved ; but we cannot sup ary angry feeling to exist, or that the seb of the French would have entered inty the Conference with any other desire than that of averting the dangers and horrors of war. His Majesty was not required to assume an exclusive “ cad ae a! in the matter, for ee and Russia are equally convern- ea, and in the contemplation ef neither could anything more be comprehended than the offering of friendly advice to Powers whose unbridled passions menace all Europe with violence and confusion. If England had in- terfered in accordance with the Em Napoleon's desire at a former period, ** the responsibility cf events’? would not have been borne by the imperial mediator alone ; and it may be considered at any rate super- fluons, to disclaim a special responsibili* now. But the expression was probably ue last remoant of offended pride, the exhaustion of which augurs favourably for the relations of the two great nations, whieh have a mutual interest in maintaining a close and harmonious friendship.

The proposal for a Conference has net re- sulted in accordance with the wishes of the wediatory Powers; but those Powere have conscientiously endeavoured to reconcile the differences of sovereigns upon whom the res ponsibility of war now rests. Nothing could be more judicious and temperate than the terms of invitation to the meeting, for they expresed scarcely anything but the great anxiety with which the troubles are by mutual friends of the parties. *+ France, Great Britain, and Russia,’’ it was repre- sented, ** could nut without uneasiness con- template the possibility of an armed contest which would array against each other states to whom they entertain equal frendship.
