The ere a Y =” most pleasing feature of the day was to see so many Protestants of all denominations mingling with their Catholic fellow subjects. However disagreeable this fact may be to certain saint/y gentlemen, it is a satisfactory proof that the Protestants of Summerside, St. Eleanor’s, and the neighbouring districts appear to have too much common sense and Christian feeling to countenance in their midst the existence of that intolerant spirit (FOR THE EXAMINER.) In the ‘ Protestant’ of the 28th July is acommment made upon the following paragraph, chpped from THE EXAMINER :— “Tf at the next election any one of them” (Ca- tholie electors ajl over the Island) “should, under any pretext or excuse, vote for a inember or 8Up- porter of the Government, be will deserve to be and to establish the pubtic confidence, which had been well nigt destroyed by the purchase some years ago of seeds.

The wounded came in on foot in great numbers,and ambulances were prom) t- ly on the spot to carry off tuose unable to walk. Most of our wounded are wounded in the lower limbs. About 4 o'clock Gen lope and staff went on the field and were greeted with vociferous cheers. The Gen rode to the extreme frontin the thickest of the fight, and came near getting into a rebei ambuscade, but he discovered his danger in time to avoid it. Regiment vied with regiment and brigade with brigade in deeds of valor,and few instances indeed were there where even individuals faltered. With the darkness the firing of musketry ceased, but the artillery apon the mountain kept up a random fring until near midnight. At dark our troops withdrew to a small copse of wood about half a mile to the MILITARY ,DESPOTISM.

A short illuess, the result of an attack of gastric fever, was the cause.

THe editor of the ‘ Protestant’ has been nicely trapped. A bait was dexterously set for him— he snapped at it — swallowed it — but he is evi- dently yet unconscious of the ridiculous plight in whieh he is placed. We shall endeavour to let a little light in upon bis bewildered mind. Mr. Laird publishes in the ‘ Protestant’ of last Saturday the despatch received from the Duke of Neweastle, dated “ Downing Street, Aug. 19, 1861,” in which His Grace criticises with much severity the Bill that was passed in the previous Session to incorporate the Roman Catholic Bishop of Charlottetown. The Secretary of State does not object to the principle of the Bill—on the con- trary, he says it appeared to have “ a very proper object” — that of “enabling the Bishop to act ia the easiest and most convenient way as Trustee for his own Church in Prinee Edward Island ;” but the Bill under his consideration “was drawn,” he says, “with such unusual carelessness’ —was cal culated “to have such extraordinary and uuit- tended effects ;” and in one part was * so.¥ as to raise a variety of most inconvenient doubts,” that the Duke of Newcastle could not advise the Queen to assent to it. There were only two or three clausce in the Bi? which did uot spme
