their venerable and beloved Bishop; and it is marvellous to see a Scotchman in a fury at alleged favouritism shown to his own countrymen to the prejudice of Irishmen. It is, perhaps, to be re- gretted that hia Lordship the Bishop of Char- lottetown does not take advice from a petty servant of Mr. Dundas as to the appointment of priests to the different parishes of his diocese.

In seriousness, we must give ove word of advice to Donald Currie. Don't imagine, my geod fellow, that you cau raise a schism between Catholic Seotehmen and Irishmen in view of any act which may emanate fromthe Bishop. It is au old and a very stale trick—that of exciting national pre- judices. You are not equal to it, Donald. Men of talent and influence, without principle, rarely succeed in accomplishing the nefarious work. You have only one requisite fur it—and that isthe absence of moral principle. As regards your sympathy for the Ish people, try to exhibit it in propria persona—take, for instance, the Monaghan Settlement, wherein, you suppose, the people are very indignant at the Bishop for the removal of the late Rev. Mr. Brady—and make a speech there against his Lordship in the spirit of your article in the Monitor; and we assure you, Donald, i that you will not be killed with kindness, what- ever treatment you may receive at the hands of a people whom you would thus wantonly insult.

Supreme Court.

The Times says the last demand made by the Brazilian Minister, was that the Egnlish Gevern- ment should express regret, or some slight shade of regret, for having violated the territory of Brazil and wounded the susceptibility of a nation with which we were on the most friendly terms. This would have amounted to an admission of wrong doing on the part of England, and as a measure of policy upon Lerd Russell's refusal to comply with this demand, the Brazilian Minister had left London for Paris. In #o duing, he acted strictly on bis instructions, not from any personal feeling whatever. The Times still hopes that di- plomacy may find some meane of restoring & good understanding.

At the opening of the Brazihan Chambers on the 3rd May, the Emperor in his speech said that the svlution of the difficulty with England depended upon the King of the Belgians. The Chamber, in the address which they unanimously adopted in reply tothe Emperor's speech said, * all the Bra- zilians are ready to make the sacrifices necessary to maintain the honor of Brazil.”

We take from the Bostox Herald of the 16th instant the following notice of the death of a gon (of the Hon. Joseph Wigh*man, of St. Andrew's ‘Point. The young gentleman was, indeed. as hag | beew truly said by the Herald, a person of very promising abilities. On most reliable authority, we further observe, respecting him, that in Bog. ton he stood high in the estimation and friendship of many individuals distinguished not only for their private worth, but remarkable for their at- tainments in literature and science; and the head of the Medical Faculty has declared hiw to have been the most talented young man that he ever had under his tuition.

And scarcely less honorable to the memory of the deceased than this high testimony to hig worth, is that which is most affectionately borne to it by those under whow, in his still earlier years, he studied in Charlottetown; who aver that it was scarcely possible for any one to be more eager and diligent in the pursuit of learning and knowledge than he uniformly was; and that —free from every species of frivulity, vanity, de- ceit and perverseness—by none could he be sur- passed in delicacy of sentiment, or in modesty, gentleness, and propriety of deportinent.

“Fame was the spur which his clear spirit raiged To scorn delights and live haberious days ; : But, when the guerdon fair he hoped to find, Came the blind Fury with th’ abborred shears, And slit the thin-epun life.”

This is true, sadly true; but no less trne is it~ and let ite truth be the cemfort and solace of al)

have Volunteers at all, it is very important that there should be a piece of ground like the Barrack Square, where they may be drilled and reviewed in fine weather, and where there may be artillery practive occasioually, without a drawback to the amusement in seeing scores of windows broken in all directions, as is the case when the large guns | are fired from the centre of the town.

charitable feelings towards their “ poor oppressed Catholic brethren,” which seems to have auiuiated the signers of that petition. ‘That their avimosity towards the covetous, haughty, peevish and over- bearing Church of England must have cooled down, ia evideut, for they have associated them- selves with its ministers and members for the purpose of an attack upon those loyal subjects and peaceable members of society, their Catholic neigh- bors. I lent the aid of my opposition to the Presbytery of Prince Edward Island for the same reason that J have signed my name to tie Anti- Orange petition, a dislike of everything that tends to injustice and oppression. 1 look upon the tears of the mewbers of the Orange Association, respecting Catholic ascendancy, to be as frivolous maleate as those of the Presbytery of Prinee | Edward Island respectiug the Church of England.

One word more. It is said that one of the passages in the Anti-Orange petition contains a personal refleetion upon our worthy Lieut. Governor. 1 differ in opinion. We live under a responsible Government; every public act, whe- ther of omission or commission, to which the | Lieut. Governor's name is appended or withheld, must be understood to be that of his ministry ; | aud whea he issues a proclamation, or his name is used—as it must be to public Acts—his advisers, and not himself, are the parties liable to censure jor applause. I objected, when the petition was | | presented for signature, to the clause as being

| totally irrelevant and out of place, and as so much | surplusage; and I cannot tor a moment suppose | that any oue acquainted with the aim and scope of responsible Government can ever associate the public acts of the Representative of Her Majesty with any feeling derogatory to his private cha- racter. No man in the community has a higher opinian of Mr. Dundas, either in his character of

FRANCE.

Paris, June 12.—The Emperor has received the congratulations of the Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia on the capture of Puebla. The report of Gen. Forey is not expected to ar- rive in Paris until the beginning of July. On the i8th ult., a division of the Freuch army was marching of the city of Mexico.

The declaration of the bishops relating to the elections und the letterof the Archbishop of Tours have been referred to the Council of State on ac- count of their being an abuse of power.

Parts, June J2.—The Paris evening papers announce that the orders fer sending reinforce

ments and war material to Mexico are maintained. It is asserted the notes of the three Powers on the

Polish question will leave tomorrow fer St.

Petersburg. The Patrie expresses hopes that the negociations will be successtul, and states that the Russian Government inclines towards an arrange-

ment. At Paris a general hope is now expressed that an early termination of hostilities may be possible. The Liberal journals urge this course, as it would enable the Government to regain the freedom of its inovements on European questions.

With reference to Mexiean affairs, a corres- pondent (says the Times) points out that the French Government have given a substantial proof of their regard for the interest of the British bondholders, by having put aside 25 per

Jest as | was amost swittin in ad- miration of the livin pictur afore me, a Osifer squeeld out sumthin about bagnets charge; it was adredful mivit; it made me feel as I'd all tue wonee grow'd all over full of pimples. I was afeard. I shuck and I ekedaddled, and kiverd my body with the peazzor, and feeling safe, I said tu myself, it wud be a plaguy mad operation of us a thinkin of curnmin down har with a hostile feel- ing; #0 I cifered down on my pocket alate the ull institution, intendin to send the hull tue Abe at Washingtown aud tue all wy friends tue bua. Jest aa | made the last bair stroke tue my figerin, I peeped from behind my kiverin place, and I seed & terrible fuss aud a waving aud a waggin of the all colours crowd, jest like so many maggets otruggia for uppermost and foremost; and pre- sently I seed a carriage and 2 husses or murs, I eaut declar which they be, druv by a Osifer, and curnin full split on eend. An a hind him sot three fulks, a0 one on em io i-ta-rie close. Them must be sumbody, aais | tu the post. All to wonse the Osifer coachman drawd up the husses tu a stand still, and a help with a cockade on tother side on his hat jumped a kinder stiffish from the fruat, and bang opened the carriage dore, aud the 3 folks kim out and slid along to- wards the sogers, until they cumd to a flag aflyin frum the eend of @ bean stick, au thar they stopt acd apide at the trups iv the distance, a standin on the grass, an seemed as @ kalkilatin if it wud be vntirely safe tue git eny vearer tue the dogs of war.

Wall, 1 didnt kno no folks thar, an I was curious as a woodpicker chisselin intu a rampike to find out sumthin to serve my everlastin appetite fur jatarmashion.

musical talent, yet there is not a place, perhaps, lation nm America having less cultivated musical talent nor fewer public musical performances. Were it not for the ‘‘ di- verting vagabonds”’ that stroll this way, with their Italian Barrel organa, the rendering of the core from the works of the great masters would unheard, save to a few private parlors. It is, therefore, with much pleasure we notice that the Band intend to play during the summer months ou the Barrack Square. The Band is composed of young men, and considering that they have been under the instruetions of Mr. Galbraith but a sbort time, their playing on Thursday evening, the 18th instant, was remarkably good, both in time and style. Besides performing several po- pular marches, waltzes, and gallopades, the Band executed, with excellent taste, a difficult piece from Donizetti's “La Faforita,”’ and another beautiful part from Comer’s opera “The En- ehanted Beauty.” A musical ear might easily detect several errors in the playing of the Band on Thursday evening. The chief ones observable were in the bass instruments being loud and harsb, without being full toned, in the Forte passages: and iu the piano passages of severe] tunes the leading cornopesns completely “drowned” the reed instruments. But it requires long practice to bring from brass instruments the softness of tone which constitutes their chief excellence as a Band instrament. On the whole, however, the performance of the Band was highly creditable to the young members and their attentive leader. Were an E Flat Clarionet and a Bass Sax Tuba added to the present number of instruments, in a short time the Band would be able to make as good music as, in this place, ws could expect or desire. ~~ Jo. =_- -

To THE Epirok oF THE EXAMINER. Sir ;—

Four years ago our wise rulers promised a re- formation in the staff of public officers. last election they made nu such promise, no doubt knowing they were bound hand and toot by the Orange party. Hence the office that was so ably filled and conducted to public advantage by Mr Thornton was turned over to Mr. Beer. This was bad enough, but what do we see now!) Mr. Beer's children sinned in voting for Mr. Wight- nan, and the father had to pay the penalty for this grave offence, and the office of Commissioner of Roads is now in the hands of Swain Campbell's son, 44 Orangeman of 4 or 5 and 20 years of age, who can neither read, write, nor speak common English. His first act was to dismiss all the Overseers in the district who did not belong to the fraternity of Orangemen. His next act was to go to District No. 8 for an Orangeman te su-

perinteud Montague Bridge, when the Road Act

declares that the Commissioner shall appoint s man trom the district in which he resides, whose
