The New Bedford Mercury coutains a thrilling account of the rescue of the crew of the schooner Evelyn Treat of Franktort, Maine, which was wrecked on the South side of Nantucket on Saturday last. A wreeking gang on discovering the schooner proceeded to the shore, taking with them the gun of the Massachusetts Humane Society and its apparatus. Their proceeding» are described us foilows:— * A large schooner lay bilged and sunk, about iwo huudred yards trom the shore, with the crew of five men lashed in the rigging. Her decks were under water, even in the hollow of the seas, which were making their rollabove the submerged hull) No lite beat could be launched, although one was at band, and the masts as they oscillated showed that there was no time to be lost. The gun was loaded and elesated by Capt. Hamlin, and so skillfully that the line attached to it fell upon the rigging of the ill-fated vessel, so that the men, Whe were in the rigging, got the small line, the end of whieh was carried by tne ball beyoud the vessel. ‘The men were evidently exhausted, They, hewever, after much delay by reason of their weakvess, bauled on board the larger hoe attached, and read the order sea by 1b to fasten it to the matnumast head.

The extraordinary activity, animation and industry now visible in every part of the “burnt district,’’ is most gratifying to con-| template. When the disconsolute citizens of | Richmond first gazed upon toat wide expanse of tottering walls, smoking ruins and gaunt, be rebuilt.” When a few enterprising real and canvass fur the settlers, the opinion was prevalent that in twenty years Richmond would arise from the debris and ashes of the great conflagration, but alter a most grotes- que and hidecus fashion. A few months afterwards, when @ considerable number of plain brick baidings were commenced, men became hopeful, and only a decade was re- garded as necessury for the work of architec- tural reconstruction. Fear of confiscation. uncertainty as to the President’s policy, dread of the Radicals, and the intense heat of last summer also interfered materially with the work of improvement in the burnt district. Within the last two weeks the work bas commenced wits a vengeance. No city after a disastrous fire ever yave signs of greater enterprise than Richmond does to-day We bear the opinion everywhere expressed that the whole of Main street will be rebuilt in less than twelve months. There now seems to be scarcely a lot where workmen are not swarming like bees, digging new cellars, clearing bricks, removing cub- bish, laying foundations, running up walls, tering, and completing tiie work of the more advanced buildings. Many of the new buildings it is now evident, will be larger than any which were destroyed by the fire. Iron, brownstone, marble and granite will enter largely into the adornment of many of these palatial stores and warehouses. Locomotion on Main Sireet, from the cor- sor of Ninth and Fourteenth, is as diffieult as steering among the Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence, piles of timber, barrels o! lime, heaps of facing brick and iron columns, everywhere block the way. Pools of liquid wortar, dense clouds of lime and brick dust. showers of saw-dust and shavings, harass the pedesterian at every step. Butall of us bear these temporary and unavoidable evils with good humor, as they indicate that Richmond is neither dead nor sleeping, but is working with the energy of a giant to recover all that was Swept away ina day. In looking at this busy scene, at once cheer- jing and creditable to our people, we can only implore Heaven to epare this sorely afflicted city the horrors of that fearful and remorseless epedemic, whose arrival in New York, in jess than three weeks, bus been predicted by one of the most eminent physi- cians of this city. - - ~~ —- b> -— — MEXICO, Our advices are to the 7th inst. from the city of Mexico, and to the 12th from Vera Craz On the 2ad Maximilian issued a pro- clamation declaring that the Republican Go- vernment was atan end, in Consequence ol President Juarez’s term having expired, and the Presidenvial election having been held, doing the wood work, rovfing, lathing, plas- | I A — CORRESPONDENCE. em Charlottetown, Nov. 5th, 1865.

Your obedient servant, ROBERT POORE HAYTHORNE, lion. Edward Whelan. | ADJOURNED PUBLIC MEETING. An adjourned meeting of the inhabitants of the St. Peter’s Road, and adjoining settlements, was held on Monday evening last, at Marshfield School- house, to cousider a letter published by the Hon. Mr. Aldous, concerning the growth of Plax and Hemp, Hops and Beetroot. Mr. Robert Kobert- son was called to the Chair. It was stated that further information had been sought from Mr. Aldous’s London Correspondent, also, that application bad been made to the Hon. D’Arey MeGee, Minister of Agriculture in Cana- da, to furnish information relative to the manage- ment of the Plax erep in that country, and the machinery employed in its manufacture, Siuilas information bad also been sought tor in Ireland, and answers to these applications might shortly be expected. Two excellent samples of hackled flax were produced, grown by Messrs. MeDonald and William Seott, East River, and it was stated that on Mr. Gibson's farm, St. Peter's Road, flax, four feet long, bad formerly been produced. A pretty general opinion was expressed that our soil and elimate are well adapted to the produe- tion of fine Flax, but some apprehensions were felt that a difficulty would occur ia procuring suitable seed, in sufficient quantity for spring sowing. Eventually, it was woved by Mr. Alex- | ander Robertson, seconded by Mr. Julin Fergu- | s0l— That this meeting, being convened for the pur- pose of considering certain proposals published by the Hon. Mr. Aldous, relative to the growth ol Flax and Hemp, Hops and Beetroot, reselves, Ist. That Flax may be successfully cultivated in this Island, declares itself ready to try the ex- perinent, whenever a remunerating price 1s of- fered for the seed and fibre; but with regard to Hemp, the Meeting considers there are te data tu guide them. Moved by Mr. Robert Lawson, seconded by Mr. 2d. That with regard te the other articles men- tioned by Mr. Aldcus’s correspondent, viz: Hops and Beetroot, the meeting entertain no doubt they can be raised in considerable quantities, and will be so if adequate prices are offered. Moved by Mr. Haythorne, seconded by Mr Alexander Stewart— 3d. ‘That it is the opinion of this Meeting that a Central Society, for the promotion of the growth of flax and other articles likely to prove profitable as exports, should be formed witheut delay ; also that a Local Society, comprising this and the adjoining settlement, if inclued ty uulte with us, be forthwith formed. Moved by James Robertson, Esq., seconded by Mr. Haythorne— 4th, That the thanks of this Meeting are due, and hereby tendered to the Hon. Mr. Aldous, tor the interest he has displayed in the pro-perily of the tarmers of Prince Edward Island, and the trouble be has taken on their behalf. The above were all carried unanimously, as well as resolutions relative to the publishing there- of inthe Charlottetown papers. A vote of thanks was preseuted to the Chairman. — oo Be PROVINCE BUILDING. AGRICULTURAL FARM COMMITTEE, November 2, 1365.

Moved by Dr. Jenkins and seconded by Mr. Laud :— Resolved, That the thanks of the Committee be The insurrection in Jamaica is a most de- | plorable affair. That it will be crushed—| ‘epeedily and effectually crushed—is most certain; but the harrowing thought is, that | many innocent lives amongst the white popu- | lation may fall victims to the savagery of the black race, who have had no reasonable grounds for their present uyrising. That a terrible vengeance will fall upon their black heads—terrible as the equally savage Sikhs in India experienced during their mutiny— is a matter about which there can be no} doubt. In the cage of such fiends sympathy would be entirely misplaced, and it is not likely much will be exercised in their bedalf. The Fenian madness, or pestilence, or what ever it may be designated, is one of the mar- vels of the age. Whole communities, we know, are frequently swept into the vortex of the wildest delusions—smitten as if by a plague: but it has been left for the Fenians to give the most signal proof that modern his. tory affords as to the extent to which heman judgment can be perverted, and Folly claim so many victims for her own. The move- ment—if, as its promoters declared its object to be, the release of Ireland from English rule —has been completely and humanely frus trated by the vigilance and vigour of the Eng- lish Government on the otherside of the Atlan- antic. It is possible that in Canada there may be something more than the presentexcitement to disturb the minds of Her Majesty's lieges there. The Fenians cannot suddenly be banished from the United States. The anti- British feeling which prevails there — not amongst Fenians only — will secure for them not merely toleration, but substantial en- couragement in a variety of ways. [fair- braied enthustaste of the John O'Mahoney stamp — the ** Head Centre ”’ of the Brother- hood, as the mischievous vagabond is styled — cannot but infest the States to an enormous degree, now that the close of the civil war has left thousands without useful and hon- ourable employment ; and those, with a taste for civil strife, and a recktese disrrgara for the consequences of their folly — are just the class of ruffians who are capable of swell- ing the ranks of the Fenians, and bringing apprehension to peaceable communities. As to there being the smallest touch of patrivt- ism in their movement — as to love for Ireland having anything at all to do with the matter-- the thing is tov absurd to be con- templated fora moment. Greed for luere — luve of notoriety, and an inherent propensity to mischief— are the only motives which seem to prompt the movement. But a little vigorous blood-letting at the points of Cana- dian swords and bayonets will check the war fever in the veins of Fenian raiders; and it is satisfactory to know that the Cana- dians are well prepared to practise this kind of surgery.

THE “ ALABAMA ” CLAIMS. The correspondence relating to the ravages of the Southern cruiser, which bas passed between Karl Russell and Mr. Adams, is very generally commented on, The Boston Post says: “ There is certainly no need te talk war, or threaten war, until all the resources of an open and houorable diplomacy have been exhausted. A war with England, badly as it would cripple her, as a maritime power, would cripple us as well. We are just come out of one war, aud need rest and a chance to recover. We are a coumercial and mantfacturing, as well as an agricultural people. It is of the highest importance, therefore, that the avenues of trade should all be opened again with the least possible delay. We have need, tov, to reorgamze our industrial system in more than ove-balf the country. Labor is required, above all things, to lift us soonest out of the state into which we were plunged by a four years’ destroy - ing conflict.” ilhnlticecell blll Tut Tunis ENvoy.—Gen. O.

Charlottetown, November THE NEWS OF THE WEEK. So filled with startling events bas been the news of the past week, that there has been little time or inclination for reflection on our 6, 1865. ithere is a selid and inflexible determination are well known for their syinpathies with Orang Mie: ism, if not for their wndieguised connection with it. Sam Lane, for example, used to be a burni and a shining light in the confraternity ; and - all know that w Tenant League meeting ean get on very well unless he gives it the light of hig countenance as presiding genius. Again, we kvow that the unfortunate fellowa who have come to grief—or are on their way to it, by reason of their resistance to the laws—are not Catholieg or Irishmen;—the Clows, and Dickiesone, and Crabba, will not, we trust, be palmed of Upon us as auch. But a stronger proof than any we ean addueg to show that the League mania does not eet with any favour in the eyea of Catholicg and Liberals, is the almost total absence of jt trom King’s and Prince Counties. In King’s © the wmajority of Catholics is very considerable the returns to the Legislature show that the majority of Liberals is also very large; yet, the Tenant League people find no footing in King’s County. About Murray Harbour and Montague they tried to establish Branch Societies ; — these places do not favour the cause of Liberalivm; bat even there the League was frowned down by the intelligence and good sense of the people. Tq purely Catholic sections of the County, such ae Launching Place, Grand River, Souris, Kast Pvint to Cable Head: Morell, or Savage Harbor —nowan could, with safety to himself, Propose the establishment of a Tenant League Soe In all these places you will find Seoteh and Iieh Catholics, and Liberals in abundance; and it ia consoling to know that none of them are euitteg with the Tenant League pest. Then as to Prince County—the most pepaloug ~ sections of it are comprised in the first district. Catholics, almost exclusively —Irish:wen, Freneh- men and Seotchmen—their representatives have certainly no love for the Tenant League, and lea fur the Orange Society, and their constituent share, to the fullest extent, their aotipathies t both. The other sections of the County, in which the Liberal and Catholic element prevail to avery great extent — have giver no encouragement to the League. At Cascumpee and Lot 16 futile attempts were made ta get up Branches of the League; and notwithstanding that at the former place, Irishmen and Catholics may be found in considerable unmbers, and that there a professional gentleman of true Milesian stamp came to its aid—even in that promising locality the unfortunate and disreputable thing could not find a man of any note to say a word in ite fe vour; and the professional candidate for Tenant League notoriety was allowed to return to his saboratery to prepare other kinds of poi- sons for the community: or, what was better, indeed. te indulge that ample leisure which g bealthy class of people have been fortunately able to afford him. Now, having shown that the Counties to which we have referred —King’s and Prince Counties — are largely and happily under the control of liberal and Catholic feelings — as contradistip. guished from the characteristics of Orangeism ; and having shown that Queen's County was the place most unhappily infeeted by the last named ism at the general elections which have secured the present Governwent in their places—that this County gave an almost unaaimous retary to the House of Assembly—surely it is quite reasonable to hold this County, as a whole, responsible forthe mischief and disgrace brought upon the entire Colony by the Tenant Leavue, People abroad say that Prince Edward Island is in a state of insurrection ;—we want to show them that the iMputation cannot in farrness be attached te King’s and Prince Counties. If there be insur. rection anywhere, it must certainly be in the other County wiere Orangemen “ most do con, gregate.”’ We had a few words more to say to the pions Elder, aud seantiness of space requires us to be He stated in hia paper of the 28th ult., that we “accused” “*he tenantry on Tracadie estate” “ot having set fire to their landlord’s barn.” Whether Mr. Laird did or did not write this malicious lie, we are not prepared to say — that it was published with his brief in our expression of them, jnot to yield one ivta to the extravagant and | preposterous pretensions of the United States | If Mr. Adams can satisfy bis!

Master at the White House that the suavity of an English nobleman is good compensation fur losses inflicted by the A/abama, it will be a pleasant sight for all parties to see intri- cate diplomacy taking such a pacific tone ; but it oeeurs to us, who are not sehooled in the arts of diplomacy, that the nation which makes claims such as Mr. Adams has pre- ferred, renders itself ridiculous in the eyes of the world; and having made them, with- draws them, or suffers them to rest through the influence of diplomatic etiqutte, over-| flows for itself the measure of universal con- tempt. We are apprehensive that we shall hear more unpleasantness about this matter ; own petty political affairs. The death of Lord Palmerston—the alarming spread of the negro insurrection in Jamaica — the excite- ment touching the Fenian movement in the United States and Canada — and the diplo- matic correspondence between the Govern- ments of Great Britain and the United States, touching the claims which the latter country seems to think she possesses for losses by the Confederate privateer A/abama — are all events of very great import, and more than one of them may exercise immense influence over the future destinies of the world. The death of Lord Palmerston—although or, if not, we have mistaken the character of our American cousins. - +e ~ Mr. Lamp —or Mr. Elder Laird, as we suppose he is styled amongst the Faithful — has complimented us in the last two Nos. of his Patriotic journal, for which we bave searcely time tu make a due He especially “exercised” about our having inti mated that the Orangemen largely favour the Tenant League He denies that Orangemen are open to this imputation; and in just new return. movement. it is an occurrence over which much real sor- row will be felt and expressed throughout the British Empire—cannot take any one by support of bis denial he mentions the names of a few imaginary Lrishinen, who, he says, are not Orangemen, but Leaguers to the back-bone.

DEMISE OF LORD PALMERSTON. England has lost one of her moat deservedly honored and esteemed citizens, and Great Britain one of ber ablest and most snecessiul statesmen, Lord Palmerston ia dead. The City of Boston, whieh arrived at New York on Monday last brings the melancholy tidings that the Prime Minister of England departed this life on the 18th of October, He was in the Sist year of his age. We learn from a sketch contained in a work, recently pub- lished in London, that on the 20th October, 1784, Heury John Temple, Viscount Palmerston, waa bern in Broadlands, in the County of Hants, Eng- land. Nuot since the year 1710, whea Sydney, Lord Godolphin, was abrobtly dismirsed by Queen Anne, has a Prime Minister of England conducted the national affairs at such an age as that to which Lord Palmerston attained. Whea the late lamented Premier was born, William Pitt, then in the 25th year of his age, bad holden the Premiership about twelve months. Fox, bis great political rival, was ten years older, and had been in Parhament fifieen years. Sheridan was thirty-three, and had been four years in the House. Burke was fifty-«1x, and had had a parliamentary experience of eighteen years. William Cobbett, then just 22, was doing duty as a corporal in the Provinee of New Bronawiek. We learn from the work before us that Lord Palmerston’s education was begun at Harrow, and continued at the Universities of Edinburgh and Cambridge. He was but a little boy when the commencement of the trial of Warren Hastings commanded so much attention throughout the country, It was during His Lordship's school dayathat the great state trials of Hardy, Thelwall, and Horne Took created such universal excitement. It was dur- ing the same period ‘hat the Prince of Wales married Princess Charlotte of Brunswick; that @ desperate war was carried on with Tippae Saib and his sons; that the memorable Iviah Rebellica broke out, and the Legislative Union was effveted. The sketch, from which we draw, then passes on to the year 1806. Barely three mouths had elapsed since the battle of Trafalgar had annihil- ated the naval forces of France and Spain; and amid many tokens of ational grief, the body of Nelson had just been ceposited in St. Paul's Ca- thedral. At that time Sir Charles (afterwards Earl) Grey, who entered Parliament in 1736, bad for some years laboured in the cause, of reform. Burke, who retired from the political arena in 1794, had been dead nine years. Canning had enjeyed_a parliamentary experience of thirteen years. Lord Castlereagh had been in the House liament are just now stored with talent and /Clusively Orange settlements because they are just one year less. Wolberforce had not i to demand the abolition of the slave trade. Fox, with the leading men of the opposition, bad long abandoned Pitt in his policy in respect to the war with Franee, when, on January 23rd, 1506, the lofty spirit of the brilliant commoner sank under the overthrow of the Continental Coalition against
