Proressor Jones, of Trinity College, Toronto, preached in St. Peter's Church yesterday forenoon.

By telegram to Owen Connolly—The brigt. Shamrock, ©’Connell, master, arrived at Philadelphia from Caibarien, Cuba, on the 3rd inst.

Tue Patriot has calmly and dumbly ac- cepted the reproach cast upon it by the Hon. 8S. F. Perry, who very appropriately called it ‘‘a miserable sheet.”

A SPECIAL MEETING of the Caledonian Club will be held at St. Lawrence Hotel this evening at half past eight o’clock. A full attendance of members is requested.

Cot. McGitt has been for some time past before the public as the colleague of Hon. Peter Sinclair, yet ‘‘ that miserable sheet, the Patriot,” has not one word to say in his favor.

Rev. Dr. Cooper, of Hamilton, Ont., preached in Prince Street Methodist Church esterday forenoon. Professor Allison, of Sadiiene Wis., preached in the saine Church in the evening.

THe Patriot is misinformed in his ac- count of the cricket match on Saturday last. The Summerside eleven won the game by four runs, and there is no inten- tion of playing a Banker’s eleven on the 7th August, or at any other time. The Patriot should be more careful from what boy he takes his news.

Deatu or Pere Lee.—Mr. Pete Lee, the well-known comedian, so popular in this city, both in his personal and profes- sional capacities, dropped dead in Eastport, Thursday, from heart disease. For some time past Mr. Lee was obliged to discon- tinue his performances on the stage through illness.—St. John News.

Tue barkentine Ethel Blanche, owned by Peake Bros. & Co., John Graham, master, arrived here Friday evening, 20 days from Plymouth. She brings Mr. and Mrs. Leigh, six children and nurse; family all well. The Ethel Blanche experienced fine weather until reaching the Banks of Newfoundland, 21st ultimo, since which date she met with strong head winds and calms.

THe Oddfellows’ dsmonstration at Pictou

will take place on Tuesday next, the 13th, 4

and not on Thursday, as formerly adver- tised. A steamer will probably be engaged for the excursion, leaving Charlottetuwn on Monday night, and returning by day- light on Wednesday morning. The com- mittee at Pictou are making extensive pre- paration for a grand time.

A TELEGRAM, received by his his Lordship Bishop McIntyre this forenoon, conveys the sad intelligence of the death of Mon- signor Conroy, Bishop of Ardagh, Ireland, and Apostolic Delegate to Canada, which took place in St. John’s, Newfoundland, last evening. Dr. Conroy was but a short time ill. Advices from St. John on the Ist inst., stated he was suffering from a severe attack of pneumonia which, no doubt, re- sulted in his death.

Ar the Stipendiary Magistrate's Court this forenoon, a countryman named Michael Commiskey was fined $2 and costs for being drunk and ineapable. Harriet McDonald, arrested on Saturday for being drunk and fighting on ‘‘Hell Street,” appeared in ans- wer to the charge, which was preferred by Officer Shea. She said she visited ‘Hell Street” and_got into a muss with a Mrs. Malone, during*which both clinched and rolled off the sidewalk. She was fined $1 and costs or four days, after which she took her seat, saying ‘‘she would beware of bad company hereafter.” Dennis Mahoney was fined $1 and costs for being drunk and incapable. Joseph McDonald, drunk and wandering about the streets at an un- seasonable hour, was fined $2 and costs or eight days. Francis McCarthy, drunk and incapable, was fined $3 and costs or four- teen days. John Brogan, arrested on com- plaint of W. C. Hobkirk for robbery, and remanded to jail afew days ago, was dis- charged, there being no evidence. James Hughes was arrested on a warrant for as- saulting his wife. He was admitted to bail, and did not appear. An order was made to the Magistrate that he be arrested and held in custody till to-morrow morning.

gg.) eae Senator McPherson.

Mr. Macpherson has always been a free trader. Like a great many other people in Canada, he has accepted the view of the economists in England, who have been the

ized authorities on this question. Under these circumstances the position which he now takes, and the mode of reasoning by which he has been led to it, are matters of very great interest. Heis not singular in his view. Sir Alexander Galt, whose letters to Mr. Mills were so admirable a statement of the principles which should govern the policy of Canada, is, like Mr. MePherson, theoretically a free trader. Hundreds of our merchants, who to-day have come to realize that the commerce of — the Do- minion is being destroyed by the policy— the insane policy—of the present adminis- tration, are, an a have been, theore- tically free traders. But they all have the ability to see, and the candor to acknow- ledge, that the position in which the coun- try stands at this moment, in relation to the United States, calls imperatively fora change of policy; and whether that change is called by ‘the name of protection, or whatever name may be applied to it, they recognize that it must be in the direction of fostering and promoting the commerce and industries of the country—of ‘‘protecting” them i the hostile policy of the neighboring republic,

Spee ial Despateh to Kramer - Lonpon, Aug. 3.

The banquet in honor of Lords Beacons- field and Salisbury at the Mansion House last night was a grand affair. Most of the Ministers and a brilliant company were present. Lord Beaconsfield reviewed recent events, and declared that peace would be durable, because all powers were satisfied. There was a party in Russia—by no means influential—which had been checked. The relations of all powers were most friendly — especially with Russia and France. He could not conceive a greater misfortune than the estrangement of France.

New York, Aug. 4.

A Paris special says that the election of socialists in Germany at the recent elections is looked on with alarm by the Government as tending to greatly encourage the Com mune; and the Workingmen’s Congress an- nounced for Sept. 3rd, has been prohibited. France has bestowed the Cross of the Legion of Honor on Prince Hohenlehe and Count Von Bulow, as a recognition of their kindness to France at the Berlin Congress. It is also rumored that Marshal McMahon declined attending the English concerts at Trocadero, saying: “No, that Disraeli has cheated me.”

Berwin, Aug. 4.

Complete returns from the German elec- tions show the following results as regards three great parties: 93 Conservatives, 110 of various Liberal parties, and 96 Ultra montanes. Six second ballots will be necessary.

sm We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions or statements of our correspondents,

Ir is to be hoped that at the civic election to-morrow men will be returned who will exert themselves in suppressing the street corner nuisance. Our police force, although large, are lazy. Last evening, from 8 until half-past 10 o’clock, members of the loafing fraternity (known abroad as hoodlums) con- gregated at the different corners between the Athenzeum and Apothecaries’ Hall, on Grafton street, and Terlizzick’s and Hynd- man’s corners, on Queen street. Many of those low, insulting roughs were within a stone’s throw of the police station yet our gallant force either preferred sleep or were too inactive to arrest the blackguards Ladies were constantly insulted while com- ing from church, yet our police were no- where to be seen. Pity the city that is at the mercy of such a police force. We have often called attention to this matter, but our advice has been disregarded or only for the moment acted upon. Five good, efficient officers would be of greater service than our present extensive force of do-

nothings. cui

To the Electors of Ward Five, in the City of Charlottetown,

GENTLEMEN,—I am again a Candidate for your suffrages at the forthcoming Election. My public record for the eighteen years that I have served you is before you, and I can con- scientiously declare that, during that time, I have exerted my utmost energies to promote the good government of the City. I have always been and still am a determined advo- cate of retrenchment and economy, and will always insist on an honest administration of Civic affairs, caution in the imposition of taxes, and carefulness in their expenditure. Hoping to receive your support,

I ain, gentlemen, Your obedient servant, HENRY B. SMITH. Ch’town, August 1, 1878—3i

CARD.

To the Electors of Ward 2 in the City of Charlottetown.

GENTLEMEN, —Having been requested by the electors of Ward Number 2, to put myself in nomination as a candidate for said Ward, in deference to their wishes I have consented to become such candidate. I am, therefore, gentlemen, a candidate for your suffrages for said Ward at the approaching Civic Election, on the sixth day of August next. If elected, as I reasonably presume I shall, while I shall advocate economy and retrenchment in finan- cial matters, the vital question of municipal taxation shall have my special care and atten- tion, for | believe it to be our imperative dut to stay the appalling increase of the tax roll, consequent upon the reckless expenditure of the revenue by those now controlling our Civic aftairs.

I remain yours, &c., ; JAMES BARRETT. Ch’town, July 30, 1878—pat eod

CA RD. To the Electors of Ward §,

GENTLEMEN,—Having been waited upon by a large number of prominent electors of Ward 5, and requested to offer as a candidate in the coming Civic Elections, I therefore place my- self in your hands for election.

As | am doing business and living in Ward 5, I have a knowledge of the wants of the Ward. é

From a close observation of Civic affairs, 1 have come to the conclusion that retrenchment and reform are necessary, and if elected will do my utmost to carry out the wishes of elect- ors in this respect.

As the fime of canvassing is short, it will be impossible for me to visit all the electors of the Ward, but I feel certain that all who are in favor of curtailing the City expenditure will give me their hearty oupeers.

I remain your ob’t servant, ALEXANDER HORNE. Ch’town, July 30, 1878—pat eod

SYDNEY COAL.

03 ee

REDUCTION IW PRICE !

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!

HE GENERAL MINING ASSOCIA- TION (Limited) beg to intimate to the Pubiic that the price of SYDNEY COAL has been Reduced to $2 per ton of 2240 Ibs., a price which it is hoped will place it within the reach of all consumers.

The opening of the new winning at *‘ THE SYDNEY MINES” and the fact that the SYDNEY COAL now being shipped is all from the DEEP taken in connection with re cent improvements in the process of screening, affords purchasers a positive guarantee of the very superior quality and condition of the SYDNEY COAL now offered for sale.

It is a well-know fact that for many years

ast the prices of other Cape Breton coals have fete regulated by the rates tixed for SY DNEY COAL; but while it is true that other coals, to get a sale at all, have been pressed on the market at various prices under the current rate of SYDNEY COAL, it is no less true that, taking into account the superior lasting qualities of SYDNEY COAL when compared with other Cape Breton coals, the advantage, both as to economy and convenience, is in favor of SYDNEY COAL, even at a much higher price.

The General Mining Association (Limited) regret that they should again have to caution the Public against the attempts being made from time to time to induce them to buy in- ferior coals purporting to be ‘‘ EQUAL TO SYDNEY,” “SUPERIOR TO SYDNEY,” etc., etc., while some yet more unscrupulous vendors have not hesitated to advertise their coalas SYDNEY COAL (from some designated locality). All these efforts to sell coal by such means are only so many admissions on the

rt of those who make them of the sTaNDARD character of SYDNEY COAL.

1t has come to the knowledge of the Asso- ciation that in frequent instances ies giving orders to truckmen and others for SYDNEY ‘COAL have been furnished with other and iucerior coal. The Public are cautioned against permitting themselves to be imposed upon in this way.

Every vessel loaded at THE SYDNEY MINES is furnished with a certificate of her eargo being Sydney Coal. Parties purchasing should satisfy themselves by demanding the ‘ production of this certificate. | The ‘* Sydney Coal” is registered under the laws of the Dominion, and unauthorized parties ja. the Trade Mark ‘““SSYDNEY COAL”

are hable to prosecution. CUNARD & MORROW, | Agents G. M. A., Halifax, N. 8.
