There is wot the least doubt that their power was most shamefully abused — that in numerous cases they positively refused to give statute labor cer. tifeates to individuals whu-were suspected to be hostile to the Guveruneut—put difticulties in the “way of other voters, of the same class, getting their certiticates, aud used extravediuary avidity to supply their own friends with the needful pass- port lo the bustiugs. It may seem strange, on a cursory glance of the subject, that such office-holders aa Road Commisthaers, whose salary, each, is ouly ten pounds a year, should dabble in polities so exten- sively as they do. but the salary ia uothing in comparizon te Che pickings, patronage and power whieh the office aflucds. The Commissioners are eutrusted with the expenditure of sums ranging from ouc hundred aad fifty to three hundred pounds Nearly all have relatives—fathers, sous, brothers, of nepliews—to whow it in very desirable to give jobs; or they have debtors ia their imme- ' diate ucighbourhouds, irom who it is very de- tirable to get payment of accounts. There is no dowist that time public money finds its way inte the pockets of these parties, just as the Commissioner desires it should. ‘Tho Comuaiasioner plays into the hands of the Overseer, who is, perhaps, a brother, sou,-nephew, eredituc or debtor of the Coauaimiowes 5 aud the Overseer docs his part by scowling at all electors whe will not support the Govermucnt, by withholding statut. labour 4ctif- calcs frou seme poor fellows; while the Road Coumissioner may withheld from others drafts an: the Read Correspondent.

Julallibility is nut a quality of the Liberal character any more than that of the Tory. It is a great evil, a great source of corruption, a great temptation to the abuse of power, for any party te have so many petty office-holders, who ace upele te Wel that they bold their places by a politieal-tenure, just the same as the highest Aiicors iu the land; aud it is still worse to put the elective franchise uuder the coutrol, to a very great extout, of theas very petty officeholders.

Religion, and thy Boyne, aud the “immortal memory,’ were ‘fue clap traps to excite fools aud bigots againat the “ Papiste ;" but the Lodge Room was regarded as thé best place for electionecring—money given te qupport the Lodge by officials was casting bread upou the. waters of party atrife, to return to them after wot many days. The Church itself was not the least accessible to the influence of Government patronage and power. The Rev. Mr. Sv-and-So, for example, is a wember 6f the Board of Education. He sup ,Plementas bis little income by a few pounds for holding a seat at the Board. He cannot well afford to lee the few pounds; besides, the posi- tien gives him station and influence; and, as in the case of George Sutherland, it affords him an opportunity sometimes to fleece the warrants of poor seboolmasters — ly exact money as payzacut for worthless books, or as tribute towards the treetion or support of « Cliurch. Then, there are the elders and vestry-men, or whatever their title may be,—all the officials of the Church are, in all probability, officials of the Goverument— Read Commissioners, Small Debt Commissioners, Postmasters, &e. So long aa they are nourished by droppings from the Treasury, so long will their fatdess spread to the parsonage. The fillet of veal may smoke on tho Miuister’s table so long only as the fatted calves in the Church are al- lowed to Jap their milk in peace and quietness from the Government pail,—subseriptions for fur coats, horses, harness, and sleighs, will go swim- tingly on so long only as there is a “ God-fearing Government ” te promote the pious work in giving quarterly allowances to the subseribers; and the parsouage may be cleared of debt, or the church may be eularged, if the obliging Road Commis- siover in the vicinity will see that jobs shall go into no otber hands than those of the conscien- tious men who feed the parson's horse—who make little presents to his wife—whe subscribe fur the eoat and the sleigh — who give a pound for the enlargement of the Church—another for the par- sonage; and who are sure to yote for the “ God- fearing” Goverament They | It is no use to say that Chureh functionaries, | Foucation tv Urrer Canapa.—The report iwho may be thus corrupt, and thus corrupted,| Of the Chief Superintendent of Sehoole for bear only a small proportion to the number of Church members.

C. Y. M. LITERARY INSTITUTE. On Weduesday evening last, Richard Reddia, Esq., read before this Institute an instructive and interesting lecture on the “ Literature of ancient Greece,” to a large and respectable audience. The learned lecturer gave a sketch of the rise and progress of Greek literature, and paid a well-nerited compliment to the admi- rable talent and taste displayed by Homer and several other Greek writers. The lecture was written ina ueat and concise style, and displayed much research in its couposition. During the debate which followed, some gentiemen spoke in disparaging term of the study of the Greek aud Latiu classics. ‘This opiuion was opposed by the President, who intimated his willuagness to deliver, on some future oceasion, a lecture before the Li- stitute in defence of his views.

CORRESPONDENCE. _ nn Onn en teen nee ene ene To THE Eprror or THE EXaMINer. Sir j— I have read in the Monitor of a late date a com- munication reflecting on the conduct of some Liberal electors at the late elections in this place, (St. Peter's Bay.) The writer, who call« hinself “Reb Roy,” tas writtea the grossest untruths. He says Mr. Dixon was not fairly treated by the Liberal electors. It is quite false. Every eon- sideration and courtesy was shown to Mr. Dixon ; but it ie net in the nature of “ Rob Rey,” whe ia well knowa here as one of the moat hopelewsly abandoned liars in tue world—te tell the truth ou any subject. He could not de it, if he tried it— tulvehood is ingrained into his heart and seul. He is regarded as a comuwa brawler and a blackguard —always ready lor any mischief and outrage. A few Orangemen ouly—aud it is very pleasant to —will sometimes condeseend to keep company with him. He is the same inventive genius who inveuted the cock-and-bull story about red foxes, two or three winters ago, aud cause: much eou- fusiea aud discontent in his neighbourhood by his lying propensity. Now, to give you two or three facts about the election :—The poll for the Head of the Bay was held thia year at Mr. McCallum’s, a very unusual place to hold it,and at which there was no accom- modation for the electors. We all know that Mr. McCallum’s building was selected for the pur, of increasing his pickings. ‘The wind was fear- fully cold at the place where the votes were taken. The candidates or their agents could not stand better accouunodation, but there was very little im- provement, if any, and candidates and electors were mixed together while the polling was ‘going on; yet, notwithstanding that, I uever saw a more agreeable gathering of . There wasscarce- ly an angey werd uttered during the whole day— there was no pushing or crowding with the view of doing violence to any ove; and when the poll was clused, there were at least live huudred peo- ple ou the ground. A quieter election I never saw; and no candidate or elector — no matter what bis principles were—bad the least reason to complain. “ Reb Roy's” statement, therefore, is a pure tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end. I could give you, Mr. Editur, if it were neces- sary, & further agcouut of “ Rob Roy" and his connexions—how the father, being a Read Gom- missioner, traffiee with the public money to give jobs on the highway to those who are in his debt, and pockets the amount of their Road certificates, —I could shew you that the son is, in his own pretended right, interested in this public plunder, which is earried on to a disgraceful extent; and that, therefore, the whole family were enraged because no effective opposition could be offered to the Liberals. But for the present I shall forbear to write anything further than to subscribe my- self A LOOKER ON. St. Peter's, February 7, 1563. - ~o>- . —_ MATRIMONIAL EXCURSION. Mu. Ep:ror—It may be interesting to some of our readers in this part of the country to know that our mutual and excellent friend, Hilary Melsaac, Esqr., has beeome a Benedict. There was a great turn-out of sleighs from this place a few days ago to accompany him to Little Pond, Lot ob, where he bad made éhoice of a blooming bride in the person of one of the daughters of Mr. Alexander MeDonaid. From Little Pond, the party, very considerably reinforeed, proceeded to Georgetown, where the venerable and well beloved Parish Priest of that place, the Rev. F. J. McDonald, speedily performed the mearingn ceremonies, indissolubly uuiting the fortunes of Mr. MeIsaac and his fuir companion. A very handsome wedding dinner was prepared for the whole party by Mr. eCormack, on their way back to Little Pond, to which ample justice was done; anda pleasanter drive was never enjoyed by any wedding party in this Island than that which retarned to the house of the Bride's father. Anecdote and unrestrained but harmless hilarity beguiled the way —the purty calling at Messrs. MecAulay'’s & Jolinston’s, Grand River, where they were most hospitably entertained by Mrs. McAulay. Having arrived at Little Pond, a sumptuous repast waa pre’ by the Bride's Santi. ter ing of whie the wore youthful members of the party indulged in the pleasures of the dance, which were continued until an cory hour on the following moruing.

The commencement of the wiuter season caused a great many persons to leave here; particularly those who had as yet to proapect their lots. The mine belonging to Glenelg Company has turned out some specimens of very rich quartz. The-last month an average of six meu were em- ployed by this company, who took out sixty two ounces and eight penny-weights of gold—the yield of one and a half’tons being forty six ounces. Sixteen companies are now at work, the most of which are dving well—Other miners are now coming jn and making preparations for working their lots, and by the time the spring opens, | think a large number will lave gathered here. On account of the harbor being inaccessible to | vessels, and only admitting small boats, heavy ex- penses are incurred in the importation of provisions, | fuel and other necessaries for carrying on the mines.

We | have information direct from Suffolk, through | 'a source as reliable ag any in the common- ‘wealth, that the Yankee furees were signally | defeated, and nothing but a lack of cavalry _in Gen. Pryor’s command prevented it from | being an utter rout. Gen. Corcoran, and not | Gen. Peck, as has been stated, was in-com- mand of the Yaukee invaders. Corcoran | concedes the loss of five hundred killed and | wounded, and among the former is a licuten- | ant-colonel, whose name our informant does not recollect; und w Capt. Taylor. Gen. Gibbs was carried intu Suffulk Friday after- noon, severely wounded. Stragglers commenced pouring into Suffolk atan early hour on Friday, and reported a |luss of 1,000 killed, and 1,100 wounded. | This information proved most unwelcome to Major-General Peck, and that officer’s face jassumed a very lengthened and rueful ap- | pearance. But when Corcoran himself ar- rived and informed him that the killed and) _wounded would not exceed 500, Peck bright-| ened up, and his nerves became more steady. _ All day Friday, and up to # late hour at (night, the wounded were brought in, filling ‘all the hospitals and necessitating the im-| | pressment of the Baptist church, which up (to that time had remained unoccupied by the enemy. The dead were buried near the battle-ground. The army of Peck is represented as being greatly demoralized. And our informant ‘saw over three hundred Yankee soldiers ‘| marched into Suff lk Friday afternoon, under guard. These men had thrown down ticir arms, and declared that they would no longer fightin Lincoln's behalf. Corcoran, we learn, aaserted there was cause for congratulation on his part that matters were no worse, a8 he had but 8,000 engaged, while he knew Pryor’s force to be | 12,000. Wedo not intend to intimate to the enemy what Gen. Pryor's force ‘really | was, but we do not hesitate tu say that had the Confederates numbered the half of 12,000 | on that oceasion, Corcoran would never have | gone to Suffolk. An official despatch re- ceived here yesterday states our casualties at forty, of whom six were killed. Tur Prince tn Rowe.—One of cur letters from Rome has some gossip about the visit of the Prince of Wales. the Prince ran around the studioe with the ease of a private geutle- man. He bought only two pictures—one from Penry Williams, the other from Ru- doiph Lehmann.

Mr. Lehmann was arranging his room and whitewashing his iobby, when an Italian valet de place rushed in upon him an nouncing ** I] Principe Inglese !'’ The artist was a little embarrassed; the Prince tried to t him at his. case by asking to see his k of portraits. Even that was at home, —not at the studio.

Time, which effaces alike the work of the sculptor’s chisel and the dearest affections of the human heart, passed lightly over the young widow, causing her to forget her sorrow, and leaving nothing but two fatherless children to remind her of him who had been dearer than life itself.

Currie. Geo. ALLEY, Secretary. Charlottetown, Feb. 23rd, 1863. = Napo.son’s Purrose ix Mexico.—Among the ducumentein the ‘* Yellow Book’? just communicated to the French Chamber is an important letter from the Emperor Napoleon to General Forey, commander of the French troops in Mexico, in which we read :— ‘* There will be no wanting people who will ask you why we go to lavish men and money fur the establishment of a regular go- vernment in Mexico. In the present state of the civilization of the world, the prosperity of America is not 2 matter of indifference to Europe, for it is she who feeds our manufac- tories, and gives life to our commerce. We have an interest in this—that the republic of the United States be powerful and pros- perous; but we have none in this—that she should seize possession of all the Mexican Gulf, dominate from thence the Antilles, as well as South America, and be the sule dis- ommed of the products of the New World. ye see now by sad experience how precarious is the faet of an industry which is reduced to seeking its chief raw material in one market alone, to all the vicissitudes of which it has to submit. If, on the other hand, Mexico preserves its independence, and maintains the integrity of its territory, if a stable go- vernment is constituted with the assistance of France, we shall have restored to the Latin ruce on the otherside of the ocean its strength and prestige ; we shall have established our beneficent influence in the centre of America, and this influence by presenting immense openings fur our commeree, will procure us materials indispensible to our industry. Mexico, thus regenerated, will always favorable to us, not only from gratitude, but also because her interests will be in harmony with ours, and she will find a powerful sup ‘port in her good relations with the European powers, To-day, then, our pledged military honor, the exigency of our policy, the in- terests of our industry and of our commerce, all make it a daty to march upon Mexico, and boldly plant there our flag; to establish either a monarchy, if it is not incomputible with the national sentiment of our country, or, atall events, agovernment which promises some stability.’* Jerrerson Davis.—A few days ago, we rinted what Mr. Russell says in his ** Diary, North and South,’”’ of President Lincoln. He thus describes Jefferson Davis :— I had an opportunity of observing the Pre- sident very closely ; he did not impress me as favorably as I had expected, though he is certainly a very different looking man from Mr. Lincoln. He is like a gentleman—has a slight light figure, little exceeding middle height, and holds himself erect and straight. le was dressed in a rustic sait of slate-color- ed stuff, with a black silk handkerchief round his neck, his manner is plain, and rather reserved and drastic ; his head is well formed, with a fine full forehead, square and high, covered with innumerable fine lines and wrinkles, features regular, though the check bones are too high and the jaws too hollow to be handsome ; the Jips are. thin, flexible, and curved, .the ehin square, well dcfined ; the nose yery regular, with wide nostrils ; and the eyes deep set, large and full--one seems nearly blind, and is partly covered with a film owing to excruciating attacks of neuralgia and tic. Wonderful to relate, he docs not chew, and is neat and clean looking, with hair trimmed and boots brushed. The expression of his face is anxious; he has a haggard, care-worn, and pain-drawn look, though no trace of anything but the utmost confidence and the greatest decision could be detected in his conversation. : — SPECIAL NOTICES. _ Holloway’s Ointment, and Pills —Remarkable reeovery.— Mothers and nurses should -read the testimonials to the efficacy of Holloway’s remedies in subduing searletiva, diptheria, bronehitis, and thos? inflammatory complaints which are now committing such havoe both amongst children and adults.

In this respect it differs, it is believed, from any other oe established here. And lastly, the Agent being appointed by Power of Attorney directly from England, is wathovieed to draw Bills the woment a loss oceurs, and wi referring, to the Home Company, to the extent of one thousand pounds sterling. With these superior ady , the ie not dispored (though it might be well j ite ask a higher rate of premimw than other , Companies, which do not present the same advan- tageous features, and the Ayent has been advised that an upiform rate has been agreed upou by the Directors of this Company and the * Queen's,” and that the Agents liere should, in this Tenpect, ‘wel in concert.” W.
