THE EXA MINER. 151 To tur Eprror or tun EXaMINERr. Sin,—In the Islander of the 20th instant, there is a commu- nication signed ** Turn M out.’’ Who the ** M"’ is, that is to be turned out, Lam ata loss to know; perhaps, Sir, it was intended for tarn B and C out, ard pat F and somebody else in. Be that as it may, he complains of having been compelled by the Receiver of Land Tax, at St. Eleanor’s, to pay the tax) a second time on a house occupied by him, the said tax having | been already paid to the Receiver at Charlottetown. 1 wish, | Sir, to state the case plainly for the information of the public, for whom, no doubt, the letter of *« Turn M out’’ (or the man | that was turned out) was in part intended, as also to have a fling at the Government and the Receivers. This man, it will} appear, like Jonah, still mourns for the gourd which covered him, and actuated, we may well ae by a spirit of envy, hatred and malice, would not condescend so much as to pay his tax to “* Mr. Tinker Brown,”’ as this man of choice epithets so politely styles him, but must send his tax to au friend in Charlottetown to pay for him. Mr. Brown knowing this to be the case, and that the tax had not been paid to him by this person at any time since he held the office of Receiver, ex- amines the Act, and therein finds it stated that the tax on houses, &c., shall be paid to the Receiver appointed for the District in which the person having to pay shall reside, &c., and drawing his conclusions therefrom, sues for the amount accordingly—with all of which I, as Receiver at Charlotte- town, have nothing to do. If ‘Turn M out’’ has paid his money twice, let him apply at the proper quarter, and [ sup- | pose it will be refunded to him. It is evident that neither rty exercise the spirit which should actuate them, viz: the orgiving each other their trespasses. The Bible, it is evident, if read in that District, has not done its appointed work. The Protector would do well, in my opinion, to devote part of its mission towards enlightening their benighted chai. Saint Eleanor’s evidently classes with Mr. Roebuck's description of Canada :—*‘A place where persons are doomed, as a punish- ment for their sins, to livein. Everybody knowing everybody, and everybody hating everybody.” Yours, &e., Wau. CRABB, jun Ch. Town, March 24, 1857. ee Che Examiner. — CHARLOTTETOWN, P. E.1., MARCIE 30, 18 _~ Jie THE LEGISLATURE. Tue proceedings of either branch of the Legislature have | not been characterised by any occurrence of much importance since our last issue, and therefore we have no subject in con- nection with those proceedings for editorial comment. The usual routine business is progressing quietly, and, from present appearances, the Session promises to be a short one. The Loan Bill will, we understand, be taken up for discussion in the House of Assembly to-morrow. e¢ wee ’. — - —--—--=- ELECTIONS IN NOVA SCOTIA. Over latest papers from the sister Province are to the 23rd only—the partial elections were to take place on the 25th (Wednesday last), so that we have no further information as to the result of those elections than that which we have re- ceived by telegraph, stating that all the Government candidates were re-elected. We, in this Colony, are not much interested in those elections, and therefore, in a political sense, care very little which party is successful ; but the result of the elections in Nova Scotia is, at this particular juncture, instructive from the fact, that the trial of strength was based, not upon politi- eal, but religious considerations—there being a combination of over-zealous Protestants to resist a coalition of the Catholics and the Conservative Protestants. We have not much faith in the darability of the Coalition, and cannot very ardently admire it, because it is not based upon a solid foundation,— the Conservatives will use the Cathplies only so long as may be necessary to serve their political purposes, and the Catholics will use the Conservatives, not from any regard for their poli- tical principles, but in order to teach their old political friends —some of the Liberal Protestants—the folly and injustice of fomenting a religious warfare. The moral which the result of the elections inculeates is—that it is unwise and unsafe, in the middle of the nineteenth century, and in a country justly claiming to be free, to return to the hateful practice of a bar- barous age, of one sect persecuting another in the name of religion. + + <2. > We have received another letter from Mr. Thomas Kirwan, who was our reporter at the Protestant meeting in February last, in reply to a violent and ungentlemanly attack made upon him in a little sheet styled ‘* News of the Day,’’ pub- lished by Mr.G.T. Haszard. As we cannot see that any good would result from keeping uy a personal altercation about the accuracy of the report of the meeting in question, we must decline, as we last week declared our intention to do so, to publish farther correspondence on the subject. It is sufficient for Mr. Kirwan to understand that the publie generally ac- cepts his report as a faithful one, and that all the abuse which may emanate from a trashy production like ‘* News of the Day,’’ will not alter their opinion. m LELTER FROM THE REV. Me. MURRAY. We feel it.a matter of justice to the writer to give publicity to the following letter. In doing so, however, we would not be understood as endorsing more of its contents than the re- ference to what Mr. Murray intended to say. We are not disposed to deny what no one can prove, namely, a man’s inten- tions. 1t is but justice to our reporter to say, that he adheres to the general correctness of his report of the reverend gentle- man’s words. It is worthy of note, that Mr. Murray should have omitted to affix any date to his communication, which, referring to the proceedings of a meeting held on the 13th of February, was only received at the Charlottetown Post Office on the 20th of March. Our readers can draw what inference they please from the fact of a month having elapsed between the publication complained of, and the receipt of an undated | explanation. Our only reason for allowing the letter to ap- pear in our columns, is a desire to show a spirit of fair play ; but as “‘ there is a time for everything,’’ we must decline at this late day to take further notice of the proceedings of the meeting in question as they appeared in our journal. [FOR THE EXAMINER. ] Mr. Eprror ; Sir,—TI observe in your report of m at the meeting held in the Tamiperence Hall on the 13th ait. I am represented as saying things of which I never dreamed. If I made use of the term * blood,”’ I have no recollection of it; but the idea I intended to convey, and which L think I did convey, Was, that rather than give up our Bibles, we should prefer to suffer death —a sentiment that is quite common among Protestants. Of the Bible I said, that it was the voice of our eternity speaking across the valley of time to every one—man, woman and child-—commanding all to prepare for the eternity that is before us; that it reveals the counsels of divine love, to carr out which was Christ's object in his mission to our world. By this I wished t} impress upon the audience the imperative | but I had no particular reference to his thoughts as the ** new- born’? Saviour, If there was any stage of Christ’s earthly | existence more prominently than another before my mind, that, was his manhood, and especially as a dying, bleeding Saviour upon the cross. F in reference to the Government case, all I said was: Since we have Responsible Government, which rules by the majority of our legislators, opposed to the well understood wishes of the majority of the inhabitants of this Island, under such circum- | stances they would betray their own principles. This is a very different sentiment to that which your paper represents me as uttering, and requires no proof, being self-evident. Hoping that you will give a place in your paper to the above, | ISAAC MURRAY. am, &¢., > *=]—eo> Tux Newrounptanp Fisuertes.—The British Government having, by @ recent convention, ceded to the French Govern- menta large portion of territory on the eoast of Newfoundland, as well as having granted to the French some important fishery privileges, much discontent and excitement prevail among the people of Newfoundland on the subject—the Local Legislature sending delegates to England to complain of the concessions, and other delegates to the Colonies, to awaken public opinion in their behalf. The following letter from the Catholic Bishop states the case very clearly and energetically :—- LETTER OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. MULLOCK, ON THE FISHERY TREATY. TO THE EDITOR OE THE NEWFOUNDLANDER. Sir,—Never, I believe, in the darkest days of England’s weakness, even when Charles IL. was little better than a pen- sioner of the ** Great Monareh,’’ was a despatch penned or a convention signed so utterly disgraceful as those received b the last mail, giving over, without any equivalent, the life bread of the people of Newfoundland to a foreign Power. If the ‘Tricolor were floating from the Tower, anda French Mar- shall installed in Butkingham Palace, it would be difficult to expect that such hard conditions would, even then, be exacted by France or conceded by England. But in atime of profound peace and apparent cordiality, the demand by France, and the concession by England of rights compromising the very exis- tence of thousands of British subjects, robbing them of their birthright, making them aliens in their own land, and driving them to seek, under the protection of the flag of the United States, that support which they cannot obtain from their own Government, shows what an opinion France must entertain, either of the weakness of England, or of the incapacity of those who wield its destinies. France demands and England concedes—Ist, The exclusive right of fishing, including the salmon fisheries, cutting wood, aad banishing the settled inhabitants from Cape John to Cape Norman, precisely that once called by the Newfoundland fisher- men ‘* the garden of Newfoundland.’? 2nd—The exclusive right to the on/y five points where fish is caught on the Western Shore, leaving, with bitter mockery, the barren waters where a line is never sunk, or a seine cast to the ‘* econcurrence”’ of the Colonists. 3,.—The right not only to buy bait, but in case of short supply, to take it themselves, contingent on an im- possible condition. This will, in a great measure, depopulate the Southern Shore and Bays, the seat of a population of over 20,000,—a population which nearly doubles itself every 15 years, and will send the hardy seaman born and reared there to swell the Newfoundland Colonies at Newbury Port and Boston, and man the American Navy. The Grey Islands are also given up at the demand of France, and, the worst of all, 80 miles of the rich Labrador coast and Belle Isle surrendered in fact, to the erclusive right of France, as the bounty of 20 francs per metric quintal, and 50 francs a man paid by the French Government, excludes all competition ; so that a British vessel will be as rare there as on the Banks, where for several years, among the hundreds of American and French ships, the British tonnage is represented by a zero. The immediate effect of this will be to banish at once 2,000 able-bodied seamen to the States, diminish our export of cod nearly one-fifth, and in- crease the competition of the French with us in the foreign markets to the same amount. Now, let us see what France pretends to give us in exchange for privileges greater than she ever got by any war she waged. Ist.—The right of living in a small portion of our own native or adopted country. Thousands already live there; in the town of Sandy Point, in St. George’s Bay, there is a Catholic and Episcopal Charch ; another Catholic Church at Codroy. The population of St. George’s Bay alone in 18538, was 1036, too many, I should think, to be thrown on the wide world in 1857 as the Acadians were in 1756. This is not the time, and North America is not now the place, to renew the disgraceful scenes of ** Grand Pre’’ and furnish some future Longfellow with the materials for another ‘‘ Evangeline.’’ 2.—The illu- sive right of fishing in a sea where nobody fishes. Behold all! Was there ever so disgraceful a mockery ? and what an opinion must French Statesmen have entertained of the Statesmen of England when they proposed such terms to them? for mark you! the French Government knows what Newfoundland is, and knows also the gross ignorance of those who pretend to manage English Colonial affairs. In France, it is brains, not influence, that qualify a man for a public situation,—there every ‘* Dowb’’ must take care of himself. I find in the Col. Secretary's letter one of those confused phrases which are only zen in English State papers. ‘ It need searcely be said,’’ he writes, ‘¢ that Her Majesty’s Government could entertain no idea of ceding to any Foreign Nation special rights to the ex- clusion of her own subjects in particular.’’ Are we dolts or idiots! Is the exclusive right given to the Freneh a special right given to a Foreign Nation to the exclusion of Her Ma- jesty's a ? Either the French are not foreigners, or the Newfoundland colonists not subjects. 1f a British subject be challenged by a sentinel in Naples, explanations must be given and the honor of the civis Romanus satisfied. If a British subject in Tuscany be put in jail for breaking the _. ora Maltese Jew in Greece get his house robbed, Parliament thunders on it, Ministers don their uniforms and rush to the Palaces of the Sovereigns, and a fleet sails to protect the honor and prosperity of the cvis Romanus. But if a Newfound- iander catch a fish on his own shores, a French skipper takes it from him, hauls up his anchor and drives him off. The Colonus, (for I suppose he is not entitled to the dignity of civis Romanus) appeals to the Captain of a Man-of-War, if he be so fortunate as to find one, (for, like our Police, our Naval Commanders are always out of the way in Newfoundland when a row is going on,) and he is told there is no remedy for him, he had no right to be there. Thus he is an alien in his native land, ** though Her Majesty’s Government could entertain no idea of ceding to any Foreign Nation special rights to the ex- clusion of Her own subjects in particular’?! One way, how- ever, is open to him,—he flies from the land of his birth, as thousands of his countrymen have done, and takes refuge under the star spangled banner. By industry and a fair protection he realises as much as would buy a good stout vessel, manned in a great measure by his countrymen who know the currents, tides, creeke, and fishing grounds of Newfoundland. He has renounced the dignity of aris Romanus, and is now a plain American naturalised citizen. He wishes to fish on the reser- ved coast and hoists the American flag,—he may then defy British and French, for he finds that the French rights are -aclusive only ‘‘ against British subjects.’’ A vessel with the British flag in British waters is little better than a pirate, but the Stars and Stripes are on a par with the Tri-color ! God grant that the grievous calamity with which we are threatened may be averted. If England be unable to protect us, she should in fairness give us up, as she did the Bay Islands and the Mosquito Indians. Should the power of France, how- ever, prevail, then the first effect of it will be, the rain of thousands in Newfoundland, continual disputes between the French and our fishermen, which will most probably end ina war, for which it would appear that France is seeking, and the immediate exodus of some thousands of our able-bodied seamen to the States. with rancour in their hearts, and a burning Cesire to return to their native land once more under more favorable auspices. My interest in the country and its people, my knowledge of it, acquired by visiting almost every cove and harbor in the Island, and in that portion of the Labrador about being eeded to France, and my wish to avert as far as IT can this shameful wrong, or at least as an honest man and a British subject to protest against it, will plead my exeuse for troubling you with these lines. I remain, sir, your obedient servant, + JOHN T. MULLOCK, Bishop of St. John’s. | duty of sacrificing much for the sake of truth, as Christ did ; St. John’s Newfoundland, Feb. 9, 1857. STATISTICS OF CRIME, Many of our readers will, no doubt, remember that the. speech delivered by the Rey. Alexander Sutherland at the | | Protestant meeting in February last, abounded with what he called his statistics as to the relative proportion of crime in Catholic and Protestant countries ~ exhibiting a fearful state of immorality in the former. At the time, we were at a loss) to understand what the introduction of such a topie had to do | with the question of admitting the Bible as a class-book into our public schools ; but the opportunity was too favorable for a fling at the religion of nearly one-half our population, and could not be let slip. The Reverend assailant did not con- descend to say where he obtained his figures —he left his hearers to reject them in toto, or take /zs word for their correct- ness. He may be sure we did the former in a very summary manner, beeause we felt that a man so deeply prejudiced against a particular religion, and actuated by such intense hatred towards the professors of that religion, could not give an honest and impartial testimony in regard to any circum- stance connected with it. For the especial enlightenment of this zealous crusader against ‘ Popish ’’? darkness and im- morality, we now beg to reverse the picture, and present him with a few reliablé statistics from a good, orthodox, official, Protestant authority :— Crimz IN Inktand and Enoranp.—A correspondent of the London Weekly Register furnishes the following statistics :— ‘* Murpers Four-Foip 1n [reLanp to onE IN ENGLAND’? — Sir,—The heading of this is the text of the Christmas discourse sent by the Protestant Chaplain of the Pentonville Prison to the Ties, and published in that paper on the 7th instant ; permit me to bring forward facets officially stated in opposition to Mr. Joseph Kingsmill’s ** Notions of Foreign Catholic Nations,’’ and of Old Ireland. In the rev@nue returns for the year LS49 it is officially stated that there are in London alone ‘* Murders and attempts to murder, 01; for all Ireland, 51. Of another hateful class of offenders: in London, 39; in Ireland, none. Crime in London, 4,071. Crime in Ireland, 883.’’ In the year 1851, there was 28,000 persons convicted in England and Wales, of whom 70 were sentenced to death, and 3,000 to various periods of transportation, a great part for life. In the same year there were 2,000 persons convicted in Ireland, of whom 9 were sentenced to death. So much for Mr. Kingsmill’s ‘* four-fold murders in Ireland to one in Eng- land.’? That eminent member of Parliament, Sir J. Paking- ton, stated in a speech in the House of Commons, that in England, ** one in 300 of the population is detected in crime.’’ In Catholic Austria, ‘* one in 800 of the population is de- teeted”’ in crime. If foreign Papists have committed murders in England, who is not horrified by the awful and frequent murders of infant children by English mothers, worse than the very Pagans? In the official report made to the House of Commons regarding the poor in the workhouses in England and Wales, 1é is stated that in the workhouscs in England there were in four years, 92,820 legitimate children, and 62,066 illegitimate aioe In Wales there were in the workhouses 2,077 legitimate children, and 3,070 illegitimate children? In Catholic Munster, in the workhouses or poor- houses, the number returned were cighty-four legitimate children, for every four illegitimate children. In Ulster, where the Protestant element is large, the returns gives 28 legitimate children for every 4 illegitimate children. For all [reland the official return gives for one year 274,786 legitimate children, and 16,667 illegitimate children. The Rey. Mr. Clay, Protestant Chaplain of the Preston House of Correction, in his report for the year 1549, stated that of the 1,919 persons committed to that gaol, 48 and a fraction per cent. were “ignorant of the Saviour’s name!’’ It is said that comparisons are odious, but Mr. Kingsmill’s uncalled-for attack on the people of Lreland and other Catholic countries, has induced me to send you a few authenticated facts, for the purpose of rebutting the Pentonville Prison Chaplain’s notions. J remain, sir, with great respect, yours, Mr. Editor, A Lover or Irenanp. etna . pieclinaie acie ah a From the fact of the English Mail being in Halifax for several days, we expected to have received our papers in time to make use of them for the present No., and left some space for the insertion of the latest news; but although a Colonial and United States Mail arrived this morning, there was no portion of the English Mail. The Colonial and American papers are entirely destitute of news. +<»ea> —_: > NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. Sackvinie, March 26.

Palmerston continues to receive addresses of confidence. Motions with regard to present state of relations with Uni- ted States—copies of correspondence respect ng proportion of cost of War with Persia, to be charged on Indian Reyenue, brought forward by Mr. Gordon and Lord Clanricarde. In remarks Lord Palmerston said the Treaty with Persia was very. favourable—in all respects a better treaty than Persia had offered to accept at Constantinople. Motion carried amidst loud cheers to place at the disposal of the Crown £4000 per annum, to be conferred upon the Speaker for the term of his natural life. Some failures announced in England. None serious. Franee.—Neufchatel conference progressing slowly. Spain.—Country quict. Preparations fur expedition against Mexico continue. Turkey.—Sultan has presented to France the Church of Nativity ; also Palace of Knights of St. Jokin, at Jerusalem. Russia.—Russians been again beaten, and lost 400 men in Battle with Circassians. News from China and Persia—nothing important. News generally uninteresting. Mecnantcs’ Ixstirute.—On Tuesday evening last Mr. Josiah MeLéod, teacher at New Glasgow, delivered to a full house a highly interesting lecture on ** Byron and his poetry.’ The lecturer stated that as the subject was too extensive to be thoroughly treated in one discourse, he would, on the present occasion, confine himself to the consideration of the poet's character as a man. Anda more successful delenee we have never listened to. Like a skillful advocate, he candidly ad- mitted the weak points of his hero’s character; but urged, with great force and effect, many of his redeeming qualities, The charge of infidelity sometimes made against Lord Byron was very successfully refuted by quotations from his private and confidential correspondence. Mr. Melcod delivered his lecture in a very good style, and exhibited his poctical genius by some excellent recitations of original and seleet pieces. He was requested to give the poetical part of his lecture at some future period of this session, to which he consented, if cireum- stances would permit. On to-morrow (Tuesday) evening Rey.
