Mr. Aldous, a member of the Legislative Council, has | been appointed to his place in tie Executive and the Land Office. There was great reason to expect that the energetic and determined character of the late Commissioner would impart efficiency to the discharge the duties of the Land Office, and conduce, in an eminent degree, to the advancement of the public interests; but the electors of the third district of Prince County — stupidly blind to the advantage which they possessed, in common with their fellow Colonists in every other seetion of the Island, of exercising a direct control over a public officer, and forgetful of the merits and services of their late representative ,—have, by their foolish act, rendered it necessary for him to retire from the public service ; and they have now a Commissioner in his place—an untried man— over whom they can exercise no direct cont:ol. We, however, have much confidence in Mt. Aldous. He is a gentleman of good education and business habits ; and we are fully satisfied that the onerous and responsible duties assigned to him will be discharged to his own credit and to the public advantage.

A’ the annual District Meeting of the Ministers and Re- resentatives of the Bible Christian Denomination on this , Which commenced its sittings in the Union Road Chapel, » the 4th instant, the following Resolutions were Mr. F. Metherall in the chair. 1. Resolved, That whereas at the request of a committee of Protestant gentleman, Mr. Cephas Barker attended a publie led the great Protestant meet- ing—at which. as well as at an afternoon meeting preparatory thereto, he differed from the majority on certain points: he, being non-conformists, State interference in religious questions. It is deeply.to be deplored that the difference of view between Mr. Barker and the committee aforesaid has been productive of such unhappy results; and imasmuch ae the Protector newspaper has assailed Mr. Barker’s character, | Cloths, Doeskins, Prints, Orleans, Alpaccas, Jeans, Flannels, | #8 4 christian minister, and refused him the right of explana- tion or defence through its columns, this meeting is desirous of expressing its strong confidence in Mr. Barker's wisdom, prudence and consistent conduct throughout the agitation of the Bible question, and does now tender him its sincere thanks for his uniform christian procedure during the time he bas had to conterd against these and other anti-christian attacks. 2. Resolved, That whereas Mr. Barker has been drawn into an unhappy con‘roversy with Mr. Heard, of Charlottetown, in which controversy Mr. Heard thought proper to characterise him in &@ most unjust manner, employing epithets both mali- cious and false, this meeting deem it their imperative duty to, and do most cheerfully sympathise with Mr. Barker; and being aware of the efforts made to disabuse Mr. Heard’s mind of false impressions, but made in vain, do now, in a most em- phatic manner, express our disapproval of Mr. Heard’s conduct towards Mr. Barker. 3. Resolved, That the foregoing Resolutions be published in all the Island newspapers. June 15, 1857. DANIEL ENMAN, Secretary. To tue Eprror or tHe Examiner. ej IR.—By inserting the following in your next issue, you will greatly oblige a large circle of your readers, and yours respectfully, W. Woopman. ee Sir ;—I have watched, with great interest, the controversy between Messrs. Heard and Barker, and have been pleased to find that not one solitary individual bas been wicked enough to attempt the confirmation of Mr. Heard’s base cailumnies on Mr. Barker. I have closely watched Mr. Ileard’s witnesses, as be calls them, most of whom I have pitied. Mr. Heard has, with great flourish of trumpets, led bis reserved forces into the ficld—of whose existence he was not prev iously aware—in the person of good Mr. Wigginton, who says nothing to the purpose, absolutely nothing; and when it is remembered that to po less than six different persons, ail residing in Charlottetown, Mr. Wigginton emphatically stated, that he does not recollect a word of what Mr. Barker said on the subject in dispute, and he wuuld have a wonderful me mory if he did, quite equal to Mr. Heard’s—what is bis evidence worth 2 Now, Sir. I should have remained silent on this question, save a private intimation toa friend or two, had not a certain magnate of the Wesleyan body declared that be should not regard Mr. Barker as an innocent man, unless Mr. Woodman came out, and distinctly proved him to be so. The day after I saw Mr. W. C, Trowan’s letter, as contained in one of Mr. Heard’s communications, I informed Mr. J. W. Butcher, of Three Kivers—at whose house I was then staying—of what, through your columns, I now inform the public, viz : that if all Mr. Heard bad said about the conversation at Pictou had been true—but which, with the exception of the facts contained in Mr, W. C. Trowan’s letter, is a tissue of falsehoods—Mr. Barker was not the person who said it. I, William Woodman, related what was said about the Sons of Temperance, and the members of the House of Assembly who voted for the prohibition law, and { now solemnly affirm that not one word was said by myself or Mr. Barker to the discredit of captain, passengers or crew. Sir, the readers of this controversy cannot have failed to observe Mr. Barker’s close adherence to plain matter of facts, likewise the sli pery manner in which Mr. Heard has treated the whole subject.- P, from Pietoa to Charlottetown, and when one wituess has failed him, compassing sea and land to obtain another, studiously avoiding any direct answer to Mr. Barker’s plain statements of facts. It may be asked why the above had not been made public prior to this date. I answer, being a stranger in the Island, I was desirous of ascertaining the character of the people among whom [ am come to sojourn, and to this end have read with wore than common interest the protracted ¢ mmunications of both parties, and au now able to draw my own conclusions. Wishing Mr. Heard a better memory and every virtue requisite for the formation of a gentlemanly and christian character, | am yours respectfully, W. WOODMAN.
