agents were to have created an alarm among the mul- *itude assembled on the oecasion, and to have thrown daggers at the feet of the soldiers, to induce a belief that it was intended to murder them. Fifty malefactors were to have been let loose from the prisons into the Piazza del Popolo, shortly before the fireworks, in order to occasion confusion. The popular chief Cicerruacchio discovered the whole on the 15th. The people imme- diately demanded the suspension of the feast, and the Pope having ordered the immediate armament of the National Guard, upwards of 2900 of the most respect- able citizens applied to the authorities for arms, and) succeeded in maintining public tranquility. Cardinal Ferreti, the new Secretary of State, arrived et Rome on the 16th, and jndged with his own eyes of the terror and indignation prevailing in the capital. The people received him with acclamation, and in the evening there was a general illumination. The first act of Cardinal Ferreti was to dismiss and exile Monsignor Grasselini, the Governor of Rome, allowing him only twenty-four hours to quit the city. M. Grasselini op- posed no resistance, and instantly set out for Naples.

The National Guard was armed and equipped in all haste, and several princes had offered the ground floors of their palaces to establish temporary posts. The troops of the garrison, and even the gendarmes, in whom the conspirators placed every confidence, fraternised with the people. Colonel Bini, commanding a battalion of chasseufs, several officers of which were compromised in the plot, had visited all the posts of the National Guard, and declared, with tears in his eyes, that he was totally ignorant of the designs of tlidse officers,

We have no doubt that the attention of the new Parliament will be directed to the removal of all unne- cessary restrictions on trade and shipping. Connected with these subjects, Mr. William John Hall, of the

Custom-house Quay, London, has published an elabo-| _

rate memorial, addressed to the Queen, pointing out the manifold disadvantages under which the shipping interests at present labour, especially the coasting trade, from the Light and Pilot dues levied by the Trinity- house, as well as the corporation and other dues. A- midst the scramble for a reduction of duties, few sub- jects are of greater national importance than these op- pressive imposts. Mr. Hall points out the necessity of removing every impediment to our coasting trade, upon broad national grounds, so as to enable it to compete successfully with the railroads, as carriers of produce; and it is impossible to deny that the subject is. one which calls for the serious attention of the Legislature. Mr. Hall says that if the present system is not altered, the largest part of our shipping business—the coasting trade—must fail altogether, and with it that nursery of seamen, which has always supplied the best and most hardy seamen for the royal navy service. Mr. Hall’s project for establishing asylums and schools for merch- ant seamen and lads, might perhaps at some future pe- riod be carried into effect; but we think the first step should be to induce Parliament to remodel the Trinity- house laws, and greatiy reduce the present Light and Pilot dues on all vessels, and some dues now levied might be advantageously abolished altogether. The unposts levied upon-our British oversea trade, and for- eign vessela, must share the fate of other duties, and either be greatly modified or totally abrogated.

NINE Miles from Charlottetown, with a long lease, and situated ia the old and pleasant settlement of

Covehead Road. The usual custom ‘in advertisements of this kind, is to designate all lands under tilage, as being in‘a high state of cultivation: in the present instance, the growing crops, consisting of about 15 acres of wheat, oats and barley, 3 of po- tatoes and 9 of hay, very little inferior to the crops around Charlottetown. 6 acres of fallows preparing for wheat next year, 8 acres of grass depastured two years. 10 acres have been reclaimed from a wilderness state within the last four years, and 40 acres more can be, at the trifling expense of about eight shillings peracre. ‘The house and buildings are not new, but they are warm and convenient. ‘There is alsoa large and productive garden, secured by a dyke, and a paddock of 2 acres of permanent pasture, similarly fenced, with a never failing stream of water running throughout. About 500 longers will complete the enclosure of the whole farm. A diary can be produced, showing the management of every acre of the cultivated land for-the last four years; therefore, even a stran- ger to the soil a Island, will be enabled:to judge,of what should and whatBhould not be done hereafter. ‘This preperty embraces many rare advantages. with only one material disad- vantage, e. i., the rent is two shillings per acre; yet it is now cheaper than many farms, even were they free from rent alto- gether,

further particulars can be known by applying to THOMAS PREEDY, Keeper of the Colonial Building, Charlottetown.
