     perchase may offer a lesser sum, and demand an 
     
     gbitration; and should be be foolish enough to

     astle has set his face against the Report. 
     
    

    
     ded. The next and only: remaining concession to 
     
     the tenant, is a remission of arrears of reut that 
     
     served prior to 1858. The. Commissioners 
     
     gravely observe that this remission would “ occa- 
     
     sion little or no lows to the landlords.” We cer- 
     
     tainly agree with them ia thixobservation. Those 
     
     who are in. arrears for -rent due prior to 1285s, 
     
     must be worth nothing, or otherwise the landlords 
     
     would have surely obtained either payment or 
     
     good security ; and if they are worth nothing, 
     
    
   
   
    
     he had never any hope of receiving. It must be | 
     
     obrerved, too, thatthe remission of rents due pre- 
     
     vious to 1558 is a privilege accorded only to those | 
     
     whe are prepared to purchase their farms on the. 
     
     ¢ttravagant, or rather impossible, terms above | 
     
     potiond. . 
     
    

    
     In addition to the valuable concessions to the 
     
     proprietors, with regard to a confirmation of the 
     
     ofigingl titles, auc a justification of their usurpa-|

     We now give the despatch from the Duke of

     of it shows that his Grace has nointention to sub-

     if I shall fiad it possible, at a future opportunity, 
     
     to offer any fresh suggestions for meeting the dif- 
     
     ficulties of the case,”—that is, with respect to the 
     
     arbitration clause. It would be extremely absurd, 
     
     therefore, for this Colony to attempt any legisla- 
     
     tion on the whole subject. In short, the Award, 
     
     worthless as it is, is fatally knocked on the head 
     
     by the Duke's despatch. ‘Though his Grace com- 
     
     pliments the Commissioners for the evident “pains-

     Weighed down by the burden of | sidered in some of its details, without any of! 
     
    
   
   
    
     that temporary excitement which usually 
     
     accompanies the first agitation of a question 
     
     of this kind. Before proceeding tu nutice 
     
     these details, I will shortly remark upon the 
     
     objections to the Bill which have reached me. 
     
    
   
   
    
     I do not think it necessary to examine 
     
     whether the institution of an Elective Upper 
     
     Chamber, which has been a'ready sanctioned 
     
     by Her Majesty in Canada, Victoria, South 
     
     Australia, and Tasmani, is adapted to the 
     
     circumstances of Prince Edward Island. On 
     
     this point I accept, without hesitation, the 
     
     opinion of the Legislature, representing, | 
     
     am bound to assume, that of the Colonists. 
     
    

    
     Nor doT think it in any way objection- 
     
     able ; but, on the contrary, that the Council 
     
     should, as in the above mentioned Colonies, 
     
     be incapable of being dissolved by the Gover- 
     
     nor. An Upper Chamber is valuable as an 
     
     element of stability ; and the principal value 
     
     of an Elective Upper Chamber | conceive to 
     
     be this, that while in virtue of its elective 
     
     character it may claim equally with the As- 
     
     sembly to speak the voice of the community ; 
     
     it may yet be so composed as to reflect their 
     
     settled wishes and principles, rather than 
     
     their transitory impulses. 
     
    
   
   
    
     But this advantage would be wholly lost if 
     
     the whole body were chosen, or could be re- 
     
     moved under the influence of such an impulse. 
     
    

    
     The first of these dangers is obviated (or 
     
     inteaded to be so) by providing that half only 
     
     of the Council shall be elected at one time. 
     
     The second, by giving to each Councillor a 
     
     fixed tenure of office, independent of any 
     
     popular or governmental influence. 
     
    
   
   
    
     This independence may, ne doubt, produde| 2 
     
    
   
   
    
     inconvenience. But to avoid those inconve- 
     
     niences, by making the whole body subject to 
     
    
   
   
    
     tain their 
     
    
   
   
    
     places in the newly constituted | 
     
     body. 
     
    
   
   
    
     In calling these gentlemen to the 
     
    
   
   
    
     places which they now occupy, the Crown! 
     
     must not be considered as having conferred | 
     
    
   
   
    
     upon them a property, but as having invest- |

     It would perhaps be more correct to write thet 
     
     the record thickens, for the time for action has as- 
     
     surediy come at last, and day by day we are 
     
     startled by important aad decisive announcements. 
     
    
   
   
    
     the great question of relative strength between 
     
     North and South is about to be decided; ner do 
     
     we participate in the opinion of those who hold 
     
     that the conflict will be indefinitely prolonged. 
     
     | The now frequent collisions of the hostile truops 
     
     must become still more frequent. The South must 
     
     beat back the advancing and invading North, and 
     
     that right soon, or must succumb to overwhelming 
     
     force. Aud in saying this, we ure well aware that 
     
     uot a few of the Cuutederates will still be elamor- 
     
     ous for a guerilla wartare, if beaten out of eities 
     
     and strongholds. Nevertheless, and making all 
     
     ailowauce tor an intensity of hatred whieh prevails 
     
     to a lamentable extent on one side, we could not 
     
     but conjecture, a month ago, that the coming 
     
     Spriug wust bring about a subjugation of the new 
     
     Confederacy—or its acknowledgment. Events 
     
     still point in one of these two directions. 
     
    

    
     Tue surrender of Fort Donelson, ou the Cum- 
     
     berland River, to the Federal troops, would have 
     
     been the leading incident of the week, had it not 
     
     been announced yesterday, on Southern state- 
     
     ments,that proposals have been made for giving up 
     
     also the city of Nashville, Tennessee, threatened 
     
     by a fleet of gun-buats aseending the Cumberland 
     
     and by a large army marching upon it, flushed 
     
     with success, Clarksville, also on the same river, 
     
     had been previously, we learn, evacuated by the 
     
     Southerners; so that there is no exaggeration in 
     
     wees up the week's progress in the West as 
     
     eminently ayd uninterruptedly successful to the 
     
     Government of the United States—The three 
     
     days’ fight at Fort Donelson was bloody and de- 
     
     termined in the extreme, the U.S. Tinois regi- 
     
     ments having very conspicuously distinguished them- 
     
     selves. The importance of the event is marked 
     
     by the one fact, that the prisoners taken included 
     
     one General, if not two, a cloud of officers, and

     peared in our paper a few weeksago of the “Indian

     they experienced at his bands, We understand that

     To Tie Eprror oF THe ISLANDER. 
     
     IK,—Feeling that the public generally 
     
    
   
   
    
     care very little about the differences that may 
     
     exist between private individuals, it was not my 
     
     intention on reading the lengthy, very gentlemaniy, 
     
     and still more logical communication of Mr. W. A. 
     
     Johnstone, which uppeared in the Islander of the 
     
     28th ult., but in justice to myself, I will, with your 
     
     permission, offer a few words in reply, and in doing 
     
     so, am willing to admit, that while it is strictly 
     
     true that the requisition in question was not signed 
     
     by all'the leading merchants and others in this city, 
     
     the langwaye used by me may have been stronger 
     
     than peceseary, and that the impied imputation cast 
     
     upon the office I represent—and for the representa- 
     
     tion of which this same Mr. Johnstone had applied 
     
     —the knowledge of the fact that numbers had not 
     
     signed the requisition, while others had refused to 
     
     do so, led me to add to my reply that sentence, 
     
     which perhaps had better been omitted. 
     
    

    
     Mr. Johustone asks for the proofs of his deception, 
     
     and as there is no doubt in the minds of those whe 
     
     have read his sorice that he wished it understood 
     
     that he did not apply for the Agency of the Queen 
     
     Insurance Company, I beg to call attention to the 
     
     following extract of a lever from the Manager of 
     
     this Company. The letter is dated at Liverreot,

     Mr. Johustone denies that his notice contained 
     
     any imputation on auy person orcompany whatever, 
     
     Suppose, Sir, that I were to state, that my letter 
     
     had no reference to the Barrister in question, but to

     THE CONCERT. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Tue, St. Dunstan's Cathedral Charity Concert, | View the British Colonies are unanimous in| merged, 
     
    
   
   
    
     under the patronage of the Right Rev. Dr. Mac- 
     
     Intyre, Bishop of Charlottetown, came off, accord- | 
     
     ing to announcement, in the Temperance Hall, on 
     
     the evening of Monday, March 3. Competent 
     
     judges have affirmed, and we are inclined to the | 
     
     same opinion, that this Concert has been the most | 
     
     brilliant and successful entertainment, in every | 
     
     point of view, ever ofivred to the citizens of Char- | 
     
     lottetown. The spacious Hall was filled to ex- 
     
    

    
     cess by the beauty and fashion of the City—the| 
     
     lovers of music,—as well as by the hardy sous of 
     
     toil, whose hearts and purses ever readily respond | 
     
     to the slightest charitable appeal. Without at-| 
     
     tempting to enter into any critical or scientific | 
     
     dissertation upon the merits of the performances, 
     
    

    
     we will simply content ourselves with the more | 
     
     pleasing task of expressing the great satisfaction | 
     
     we experienced in listening to the execution of the 
     
     different Svles, Choruses, &e., which formed the | 
     
     Programme. The pieces were, for the most part, 
     
     new to a Charlottetown audience, but not the less 
     
     attractive on that account. They were charac- 
     
     teristic for the artistic skill and excellent taste 
     
     with which they were rendered—the time and 
     
     tmne being, iu our opinion, excellent. It may be 
     
     invidious tu enter into particulars where so much 
     
     general excellence was shown, but we cannot help 
     
     rewarking that one young lady particularly dis- 
     
     tinguished herself in singing the “Last Rose of 
     
     Summer,” which waa rapturously encored. The 
     
     altp slo, “ The Cottage by the Sea,” was likeWise 
     
     well sung, aod deservedly encored. The Chorus 
     
     of “ Hark ! the Curfew’s solemn sound,” although 
     
     a very difficult piece of music, and sung in good 
     
     time, did not take with the audience. The popu- 
     
     lar favorite appeared to be the Glee “Come, fairies, 
     
     trip it on the grass,”—in which six of the ama- 
     
     teurs took part—the lively strains of which sent 
     
     the blood coursing through the veins with accel- 
     
     lerated speed, and illumined every countenance 
     
     with a smiie. Nor cau we avoid specially men- 
     
     tioning the Pianoforte Solo, “ La Source,” by Miss 
     
     Macdonaid, daughter of the late Joseph Macdon- 
     
     ald, Esquire; and the clarionet Solo, “ There is 
     
     no luck about the house, with variations,” by Mr. 
     
     A. Trudelle, Professor of Music, St. Dunstan's 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     derful, and were received with every demonstra- 
     
    
   
   
    
     cert must, in a great measure, be attributed to Mr. 
     
     Trudelle and the fair Pianist above mentioned, for 
     
     their admirable skill, taste and proticieucy were 
     
     conspicuous iu every piece in which they were 
     
     engaged. We also very much admired the solo of 
     
     Mr. Hermans, “ When the Swallows homeward 
     
     fly,"—which afforded ample scope for the full 
     
     display of that gentleman's powerful yet flexible 
     
     and highly-cultivated voice. The Band from St. 
     
     Dunstan's College also contributed materially to 
     
     the suceess of the evening; and considering that 
     
     it bas been only a short time organized, and that 
     
     it is principally composed of very young lads, the 
     
     performances were highly creditaiie both to them- 
     
     selves, their teacher, and the Justitution to which 
     
     they belung. 
     
    

    
     We understand that the net proceeds amount 
     
     te the haudeurme suin of £62 es. 6d., whith will! 
     
     be distributed in relieving, ax far as possible, the

     the settled principles, and what on a large | 
     
     scale is called the traditionary policy of the 
     
     Country, and also to a certain extent its pro-

     qualification either from the Candidate or 
     
    
   
   
    
     from the Electors, or from both. In Seuth} 
     
     Australia and Tasmania a tolerably high} 
     
     qualification is required from electors, but) 
     
     none whatever from the elected 
     
    

    
     By the Prince Edward Island Act, on the} 
     
     contrary (copying that of Canada) the elec- | 
     
     tor's qualification is the same as that for the 
     
     Assembly. But the qualification of a Candi- 
     
     date is one which will materially limit the 
     
     choice of the Constituencies. 
     
    

    
     Ile must have resided in the Colony for | 
     
     five years—he must possess six hundred | 
     
     pounds (£600) worth of land, and (what is 
     
     most unduly restrictive) his residence, or his 
     
     property qualification, must be within the 
     
     District for which he is elected. 
     
    

    
     Moreover, tie will lose his seat if he lose | 
     
     his property qualification—that is, if he ex-| 
     
     change his farm from one Electoral District 
     
     to another. 
     
    

    
     1 entertain a strong opinion that these pro- 
     
     Visions are most injudicious, and that in or- 
     
     der to make a Council what it ought two be, 
     
     the areey qualification should be applied 
     
     not to the Candidate but to the Voter. 
     
    

    
     Speaking broadly, a well chosen constitu- 
     
     eney wil choose a good representative ; and 
     
     any limitations upon its choiee can only 
     
     Operate dy occasionally preventing them from 
     
     choosing the beet. An ill chosen constituency, 
     
     on the contrary, will tend to choose an in- 
     
     different representative ; but this tendency 
     
     will not be controlled by any property quali- 
     
     fication, which can never be 80 stringent as) 
     
     to prevent their finding within the prescribed 
     
     limits ssme such man as they may desire.

     A Paris journal of the 16th says that it has rea- 
     
     son to believe that the Prussian Government is 
     
     about te recognise the Kingdom of [taly. The |

     A Paris letter says Slidell has had another in- 
     
     terview with Thouvenel, te whem he las preseut-| 
     
     eda note upon the ijnefliciency of the existing 
     
     blockade of the Southern ports, and on that ac-, 
     
     count demanding that the European powers should 
     
     refuse their recognition thereot. Slidell states the 
     
     name aud tonnage of a vast number of vessels | 
     
     which have run the blockade ; and maintains that, 
     
     sinee the validity of a blockade depends upon its 
     
     efficiency, the Southern States have the right to 
     
     demand her refusal of its recognition, Slidell pro- 
     
     fesses himself well pleased with the result of his 
     
     interview with M. Thouvenel. The Minister for 
     
    
   
   
    
     Foreign Affairs has, however, carefully abstained

     Mr. Carvill, the following facts: 
     
     Mr. Gray states that just as the train was about | 
     
     to start, be was standing on the platform, holding | 
     
     on by the iron railing, when he heard a very sharp | 
     
     steain Whistle, followed instantly by « seeond, whieh | 
     
     of the coming train like a flash turning a curve, and

     time to tarn the coming train had dashed into the | 
     
     first ecliss passenger car which be had just lett, and | 
     
     every light was extinguished, leaving an indeserib- 
     
     able scene of darkness and horror. Assoon as light | 
     
     could be procured, it was found that a flat ear with | 
     
     a flange attached, and which was standing just in| 
     
     rear of the passenger train, had been lifted from its 
     
     wheels, oa driven straight into the passenger eur, | 
     
    
   
   
    
     | conning and smashing passengers, seats, stoves, | 
     
    
   
   
    
     lights, everything before it, and lodging bodily in | 
     
     the car, without material injury to its sides. How | 
     
     any passenger escaped with lite is a mystery. 
     
    

    
     Mr. Carvell, the Superintendent, furnishes us with 
     
     the following particulars : | 
     
    

    
     ‘There was fs to 16 persons in the first class car, 
     
     atthe time of the fatal occurrence. Ttwo—Miss 
     
     Wetmore, aged about. 20, sister of O. D. Wetmore, | 
     
     Esq., and her nephew, Master Younghusband, aged | 
     
     about 12,—were instantly killed. | 
     
    

    
     The following persons were severely injured, in | 
     
     the order which we place them ; John Tucker, Esq, 
     
     Lloyds’ Surveyor of Shipping—head badly bruised, 
     
     aud fears of serious internal injury ; Mr. Demiil, of |

     Mr. M‘Arthur, Innkeeper ut Sussex, bad sealp 
     
     wounds, and a lady whose name we did not learn. 
     
    

    
     Miss Davidson, of Rothsay, and several others 
     
     were more or less slightly injured. Miss D., we 
     
     learned, was sitting with her arm around the laud 
     
     who was killed.
