We find the following short editorial article in the Montreal Gazette, of the 16th ult. The ministerial crisis in P. E. Island seers to be protracted. We publish elsewhere another letter from the gallant ex-Premier, in which be apparently convicts Mr. Attorney General Palmer of another misstatement; whose dissatisfaction secws to have arisen out a very petty point. He induced his colleagues te agree to ask for eix members ior the Island instead of five, the num- ber te whiea they were entitled according tu po- pulation. This was refused, and, therefore, tor the lack of this one member, it seems he gave up tie great scheare as noxiews to the Island Pro vince. Unless he was guilty of further duplicity, he could nut pave made this the ground of sack a formal demand, intending, if it were granted, to maintain the same opposition as if his demand had not been adinitted. Altogether, the course taken shows a littleness of soul aud a narrowness of view whieh oue eould hardly &tly characterise by any other adjective than—contemptible. He protesses tu have feared for his country; it looks more as if he feared for himself. the legislation of the Confederate Parlioment were a to be inimical to the leeal intervsta of the Island. Perehance he thinks of dimivished Mnportance to himself. He loses sight altoge ther of the great local advantages specifical y pro- mised as a part of the schere ; aud othera which Would flow of necessity out of it. ‘The wan is not tu be blamed, perhaps, fur his ineapacity ; but nothing can exeuse his duplicity.

(From the Toronto Globe ) | The comparative statistics of the trade of the | Provinee for the first half of the year 1364, fur- | nished the other day by our special correspondent lat Quebec, cannot but be regarded as exceeding- ly satisfactory. They dicate that, im spite ot the derangement of business by the American war, and of other adverse circumstances, our trade «@ etill on the inerease. The importations | for the half-year ending July Ist, 1864, as compar- jed with those for the corresponding period of 1563, are given thus :— Half-year. Half-year. 1263. J+64. Dutiabie goods. ...... $9,588,666 $14,309,886 Coin and Bullion.... .. 2,077 B34 2,475,504 Other free guuds...... 8,426,740 —- 7,096,826 $20,093,240 $23,832,216 There has thus been a gross increase in the half year’s importauons of $3,708,976, or very nearly eighteen per cent. But there has been a very considerable decrease iu the impeortations ot free goods other than coin and bullion. The increase in coin and bullion has been nearly twenty per ceut., while that in the dutiable goods has been almost fifty per cent. As just abuut three-fourths of the free goods, other than ein or bullion, whieh we import, comes from tic United States, we must attribute the ehange in those articles in part to the state of affairs in that country. A very large share of our free imports from the United States is made up of agricultu- ral produce, and ite dimiuution may indicate what we weuld naturally expect, that the war is reduc- ing the amount of such produce which our neigb- bours have to export. Renty the whole of that produce which comes to Canada, comes to be sold out of the country again. So far as sume articles of American agricultural produce are bought for Canadian consumption, it would be by no weans unsatistactory te find that kind of im- portation decreasing. ‘That would simply show that our own farmers were coming nearer to sup- plying all that we require for home consumption.

With corrupt, disordered or vitiated Blood, you are sick ail over, it may burst out in Pimples, or Sores, or some active disease, or it may merely keep you listless, depressed and good fer nothing. But you cannot have good healtn while your blood is impure. Arer's SaRSaPARiLLA purges oat these impurities and stimulates the organs of life inte vi- gereus action, restoring the bealth aad expelling disease. Hence it cures a variety of complaints which are caused by impurity of the blood, such as Scrofula, or King’s Evil, Tumors, Uleers, Sores, Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches, Biles, St. Authony’s Fire, Rose or Erysipelas, Tetter or Salt Bheum, Scald Head, Ring Worm, Cancer or Cancerous Tumors, Sore Eyes, Female Discases, auch as Re- tension, Irregularity, Suppression, Whites, Sterility, also Syphilis or Venerial Diseases, Liver Com- plaints, and Heart Diseases. Try AYer’s Sar- SAPARILLA, and see for yourself the surprising activity with which it cleanses the blued and cures these disorders, During late years the public have been mieled by large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsapariila for one dollar. Must of these have been frauds upon the sisk, fur they not only contain little, if any, Sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties whatever. Hence, bitter disappointment has tolluwed the use of the various extracts of Sar- saparilla which flood the market, until the name it- self bas become synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call the compound “Sarsaparilla,” and intetid to supply such a reuedy ag shall rescue the name from the load of obloquy which rests upon it. We think we have ground for believing it bas virtues which are irresistible by the ordinary run ef the diseases it is intended to cure. We can only assure the sick that we offer them the best al- terative which we know bew to produce, and we have reason to believe it is by far the most effectual purifier of the blood yet discovered by any body. AYER’S CHERRY PECTORAL is 80 universally knowr to surpass every other remedy for the cure of Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness, Croup, Bronchitis, Incipeat Consumption, and fer the re- lief otf Consamptive Patients in advanced stages of the disease, that it is useless here to recount the evidence of its virtues. Tue world knows them. Prepared by DR. J.C. AYER & Co, Lowell, Mass, and sold at wholesale and retail by Gro. A. Bayarp, St. John, N. B. Avery Brown & Co, Halitax, N.S. W. k. Warson, Ch’town, P. E.
