     —Mr. Frederick Bucknall, a son of Mr. W. 
     
     Bucknall, of the late eminent Bristol firm of 
     
     Buckuall and Spark, has just returned from St. 
     
     Petershurg, where he had been for five years 
     
     occu ing a responsible position in connection 
     
     with one of the largest mercantile firms there, 
     
    

    
     tom the accounts which Mr. Buckoall 
     
     brings wi him it is evident that, in high 
     
     circles, the possibility of an attack by the com- 
     
     bined forces on the capi of Russia is seri- 
     
     ously entertained. Amongst the masses of the 
     
     city a superstitious confidence in the success- 
     
     ful issue of thswar nsrslly prevails. This 
     
     is founded on the wi ly-spread belief that the 
     
     war is a religious one, undertaken for religious 
     
     objects; and it leades to a confidence that God 
     
     being with the Emperor he must prevail. The 
     
     imperial Muscovite himself does not appear to 
     
     be so well at case. It is understood that the 
     
     commandment of the important fortress of 
     
     Cronshdt has informed him that, although of 
     
     t strength, it is not impregnsble, The 
     
     peror is obviously very anxious on the 
     
     matter, for he goes himself to Cronstadt twice 
     
     or thrice a week, and all conceivable efforts are 
     
     bein employed to strengthen it as for as 
     
     ssfiilo. Meanwhile the imperial city is 
     
     ing crowded by troops,which are continually 
     
     pouring in large masses. The barracks bein 
     
     all crowded these are uartered on the inhabi- 
     
     to their very ev' ntand tanuoyance. 
     
     Bncknall saw a body o 1500 Cossacks 
     
     marching towards the capihl, which is of itself 
     
     a significant mark of the feeling ‘of the govern- 
     
     ment, for troops of that class are rarely if ever 
     
     employed in t'he_eity. Many pf the nobility

     of the United States of North America replied. 
     
     on the 28th iilt., to the communication mode by 
     
     the French Minister of the declaration of the 
     
     two great maritime Powers of Europe relative 
     
     to the neutral flags during the present war. In

     conduct of all civilised nations. The Secretary 
     
     of Shte besides declares that his government 
     
    

    
     as a firm wish to observe strictly and to cause 
     
     to be observed the duties of neutrality. Ho 
     
     mentions that the laws of the countr severely 
     
     prohibit any American citizen, as wcl as every 
     
     one established on the territory of the Union, 
     
     from fitting out privateers, enrolling men to 
     
     take rt in foreign war. Mr. Marcy adds 
     
     that t ore is no fear of any attempt being made 
     
     to infringe those laws, but that in case the ex- 
     
     pectation of the Government of the Union on 
     
     this subset should be deceived, the President 
     
     would t ink it his duty to use the power with

     the c from our Australian possessions, in 
     
     which the valuitble character of the cargoes

     The Greeks at Constantinople are getting

     but more especially for violence. They assau t-

     The number of buildings destroyed by a fire 
     
     at Constantinople is about 120 houses and 700 
     
     shops. It is tly to be regretted that save- 
     
     ral public bni dings of consequence have been 
     
     burnt--among others two baths, one mosque, 
     
     and three stone khans. The loss of goods and 
     
     merchandise in those khana is about £150,000.

     Mr. Stephen Swabey, actuated by a kindly disposi- 
     
     tion towsrds Sir Alexitndsr Bannerrrien, applied. in 
     
     the nitnie of himself and others, for a copy ofthe 
     
     contidentiai despatch of the Dulte of Newcastle 
     
     referred to in Hazard‘: Gazette of Wednesday 
     
     last, with the intention, no doubt, of publishing it en- 
     
     tire, end thus ntford ii convincing proof that the or- 
     
     trect made in Sir Alexander's letter, published in the 
     
     Royal Gazette, was not a "garbled" one. Nothing 
     
     could be fniror than this proposition, and it would 
     
     have been. we think, both to the honor and interest 
     
     of Sir Alexander, to have taken advantage of it. Not 
     
     that the here publication of the Dulte's despatch 
     
     would have profited Sir Alexander anything without 
     
     his own previous conlidsntiril despatch had been 
     
     published at the same time. We have no doubt but 
     
     the Duke's answer wns the only one tlist he 
     
     could make under the existing state of circumstances 
     
     as detailed by Sir Alexsmlsr Bonnennnn in his un- 
     
     conrtiliiiioiial con/lzlential despatch. But what was 
     
     this stiitciiieiit? \Vhut was the state of affairs in 
     
     this Colony that demanded such urgent haste. such 
     
     indecent precipitation .’ Whnt was there that in- 
     
     volved the necessity of calling the people of the 
     
     Island together et- this. to them, most inconvenient 
     
     time for the purpose of entering into the turinoila ofn 
     
     contested election 7 We will tell you why it wits 
     
     Electors. It was that the Election should take place 
     
     while the minds of men were heated by an infiiinous 
     
     tissue of fiilsohoods, which would incline them to 
     
     vote against the members of the majority of the last 
     
     session. It was that no time should be nlfordod to 
     
     shew the falsity of these statements, and make meni- 
     
     fest the honesty of purpose, and soundness of the 
     
     principles by which that majority were activated. 
     
     was because that basic and that precipitation were 
     
     considered, as being of the utmost importance to the 
     
     unprincipled faction of which Sir Alexander Banner- 
     
     man was all but the acltnowleged head, and last, but 
     
     not least, it was because a constitutional Governor 
     
     was hourly expected. But we are losing sight of 
     
     Sir Alcxandor‘s answer to Mr. Swiihey's gentle- 
     
     man-like and considerate note. Will you believe 
     
     it, Sir Alexander declined giving a copy in his 
     
     own words. 
     
    

    
     " In regard to your request for a copy of the confi- 
     
     dential des etch you allude to, it is right you should 
     
     know that sin not at liberty to furnish you with it, 
     
     unless I do so on my own responsibility. and on this 
     
     occasion I very respectfully decline incurring any." 
     
     And yet in a previous part of the same note, he says 
     
    

    
     “ Your note has called my attention to ihatcurioiu 
     
     article, the leader tp Hasrard Gazette of Wednesday 
     
     and I cannot conceive how its author could call the 
     
     extract " garbled,” as the original despatch has 
     
     not been seen, but remained in in possession at 
     
     Government House. and ready to be shown by me 
     
     to any friend or other individual who wished to see 
     
     it. from curiosity or any other motive, but certainly 
     
     not to be published." 
     
    

    
     Sir Alexander Bauneriniin cannot conceive how we 
     
     should have called the extract “ garbled," end in the 
     
     opinion of Mr. Swnbey and the other friends of Sir 
     
     Alexander, it is “ a wholly unwarnntable assertion." 
     
     What we are now about to write, will have no 
     
     efi'ect in changing the opinion of Sir Alexander Ban- 
     
     nermsii, for he will in all probability, never read it, 
     
     but it insy justify us in the eyes of Mr. Stephen 
     
     Svvsbey, whose good opinion we should value. We 
     
     think we were well warranted in the supposition, 
     
     that Sir Alexander would publish a garbled extract 
     
     from n Despatch, which concerned himself so nearly, 
     
     when he was guilty of a similar oIl'ence—for in ii men 
     
     of his high standing, it was it grevious ofl'ence—in pub-

     system of Responsible Government, the very essence 
     
     of which, is, that nothing shiill be transacted, nothing

     authorities, and sanctioned by the Executive Council, 
     
     we see it Lieut. Governor taking it Despatch of the

     'I‘ita Supreme Court for Prince Coaaty held its 
     
     June Session on the 6th irist., at St. Eleanor's. 
     
     There was, we are happy to say. no criminal calen- 
     
     der, and his Honor Mr. Justice Peters congratulated 
     
     the Grand Jury on this circumstance in his charge. 
     
     His honor, with great good taste and eloquence, 
     
     oxpatiatsd.ou the circumstance of the war, in which 
     
     the asgust Sovereign of those rsslms has been com- 
     
     pollod—in defence of an ancient ally-—to engage. 
     
     We shared in the gratification appreciated, we are 
     
     convinced, by all, and expressed by many, at booting 
     
     sentiinouls of loyalty to the Sovereign, and detesta- 
     
     tion oi the barbarous conduct of the reckless Despot, 
     
     whose ambition has changed the peaceful, smiling 
     
     prospects of Europe into the " horrid front of war," 
     
     so well and so feeliugly expressed. Mr. Justice 
     
     Peter's conduct in this respect, presents a grateful 
     
     contrast to tlie't of Mr. Justice Mcndelet, in Canada, 
     
     hlghly honorable to the character of the former. 
     
    

    
     'I‘liero was but one record case, and two appeals 
     
     tried. The Court rose the some day. 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     Dasit Ma. llasssan; 
     
    

    
     Sir,—'l‘|ie Lord Bishop of the Diocese. in the 
     
     exercise of his Episcopal functions, visited Crnpsud, 
     
     Wesiiiioroland llnrhour, on .\londay bth, in company 
     
     with the Rev. D. Filitgerald, of Charlottetown. The 
     
     Inhabitants. though in the very height of their platit- 
     
     ing, flocked to St. John's Church, and by their 
     
     hearty participation in the sacred services of the 
     
     day, evinced Ilie interest they took in a most solenin 
     
     rite of our Church, and the pleasure they experienced 
     
     in sitting under the iriinistry of our good and acum- 
     
     plished Bishop. 
     
    

    
     The iininber presented for Confirmation was not 
     
     large, but well prepared, by frequent prayerful 
     
     training, to undertelte seriously and nnilrrstoniliiigly 
     
     the fuliilliiient oftheir bnptiemiil engagements. in ilis 
     
     sight of God and the Congregation, many it silent tour 
     
     from the confirmed, and earnest prayer to God for 
     
     strength and grace, went up to Heaven, then we felt 
     
     it good to be there, and the oiemory of that hour is 
     
     precious still. Nine were ccnlirmed,thongh I4 were 
     
     when presented iheniselves, two of whom, were 
     
     also candidates for Baptism ; we trust the best reason, 
     
     (thatefits deep solomnit, and importance), may have 
     
     prevented their " putting on the whole armour of 
     
     faiIh,aud laying hold on the hope of eternal life." 
     
     The Bishop's charge to the candidates was very soleinu 
     
     and instructive, and adniirsbly adapted. from its 
     
     being entirely otiriiiporancoiu. to leave a lasting 
     
     impression on the minds of all present. 
     
    

    
     llis Lordship preached from Amos, 4. I2, " Pm. 
     
     pore to meet thy God," which discourse, though so 
     
     general in its application, as to be most improving to 
     
     the whole congregation, also contained throughout, 
     
     special reference to the confirmed.
