Some superlative rogue, or rogues it may be, have perpe» trated fraud upon the astutely knowing ones of the neighbors ing Republic, and at the samé time libelled Prince Edward Island. In corroboration of this, I subjoin an extract from a New York paper of a recent-date :—

“ Prince Epwarp Istanp, Dank or Caanvorrerowx.—This Bank has

quotation, because we believe them worthiess.”’

That “ this bank ” does not exist, the New York commen- tor may be assured of. The thing is a pure fabrication, and the paper a veritable swindle, But the New York seribe may rest satisfied that the promissory paper which Prince Edward Island may and does circulate, is not “ worthless.” She could not repudiate her obligations as have some great

The deceased was a student in the Medical College attached to Harvard University, and gave indications of peculiar talent and aptitude for the line of study he had adopted. To these were joined aa unremitting industry in the acquisition of knowledge, and sedulous attention to the required exercises, that, had his life been spared, would have raised him, in all human probability, to great eminence in the pro- fession. Kind, gentle, and affectionate, of irreproachable moral character, and mild and gentleman-like in his manners, he had risen high in the esteem ofull who know him.

Mr. Larad.—-Mr. Chairman, I differ ecatirely from the hon. member who has just sat down. represeutatives of the peopley and the people have been directly applic] to, and have given what they thought fit. If they choose to give to this fund, they have a right to do so, and may give what they please, but this Ilouse has no right to grant anything to such purpose.
