The Observer gives the following account of the sad affair : “Mr. Peter aco son of Archibald Young, Esg., after elosing their shop, went to sali om the river, taking with him Miss Susan Young and their younger brothers, Bruce, William and John. When about io the middle of the river, the boat unfortu- nately came inte collision with @ vessel, then being towed up the stream. {he boat atruck with some farce, owing tothe stiff breeze blewing at the time, and immediately sunk.

The search for the bodies was continued all night, but up-to the time of going to press none of them were found. This dreadful misfurtane -to one of our oldest and best. known families has thrown a deep gloom over the town; and what renders it still more painful is the absence of of Mr. and Mrs. Young, who 4re present in England, little thinking of the fearful shadow that has fallen on their happy bousehold.

I am inclined to believe that it was the desire and intention of the leading members of the Governmeut to endow St, Dygstan’s College, but finding that many of their sypporters would tke umbrage at their doing so, they had the weakness to sacrifice their own conseience and the rights of Catholics to political expediency. During a conversation which I hada few weeks ago in a public plage, with an influentia! member of the Government, I alluded to the duplicity practised with regard to the College, &¢., by the Col. Secretary dud other gentlemen connected with the Government, and I was assured by this Executive Councillor that at least Mr. Pope, Mr. Palmer, and His Excelleney, were really sincere in the promises which they made to the Bishop, and that they were exceedingly desirous that Catholics would receive a public: grant for their College. If called upon 1 am prepared to give the name of this gentleman. Whether Mr. Pope and the other gentlemen who toek an active part in the “coquetry"’ of 1861 were sincere or not, they have placed them- selves on the horns of a very disagreeable dilemma. If they were sincerely anxious that St. Dunstan's College should receive a grant from the public funds, how can they now with any honesty or} consistency attempt to injure their epponents by representing them as inclined to do the same act? If, on the other hand, they were not sincere, but playing the part of ennning deceivere, they are poor men, to be pitied by friends and foes, as pre- xenting a lamentable example of political deception and depraved humanity.

Tue following letter from Mr. Haythorne, a isnd proprietor, appeared in the last ‘ Islander,’ and is well worthy of reproduction in these co- lumns, Jt js important in so far as it proves the | truth ot our statement, made a short time ago, te | the effeet that the Government had strangely or corraptly omitted te notice, in their Minute of Council, Mr. Haythorne’s remonatrance against oue of the Bills relating to the Land Commission- er's Award. In his reply to our remarks on that point, Mr. Secretary Pope insinuated that the Council were not aware of Mr. Haythorne having sent home a remonstrance agajpst the Bill referred | to; but Mr. Haythorne distinctly states that at) least one member of the Council knew all about | it, and that he was at liberty to communicate the fact to his colleagues, whieh was n0 doubt done. Mr. Haythorue’s letter is also worthy of notice | from the fact, that it exonerates Mr. Coles and | Mr. Whelan from any complicity with him in his} proceedings relative to the Land Commissioners’ Award, a8 impudently insinuated by the Editor of of the ‘Islander,’ and shews that Mr, Haythorne, instead of being opposed to the interests of the tenantry, proved himself their best friend, by voting at the Marshfield School House Meeting in faxour of the Laperial loan, as theonly practicable | means by which the leasehold tenure ia-this I+ | land can be converted into freehold. Every true | Liberal has entertained this view of the Laad | Question for many years. The Colonial Seeretary devotes more than a coluinn and 8 half io the * Islander’ as a reply to Mr. Haythorne; but it is remarkable that in all the verbiage which covers that space not a single point is made—not an argument of 3tr.Maythore’s | refuted.

REVEREND AND DEAR Sik; I beg to direct your attention to s short letter | in the ‘Islander’ of this date, signed “ W. H. | Pope,” in which the writer “ most emphatically | denies" that “during the sitting of the Legisla- ture in the Session of 156], Willism H. Pope, Colonial Secretary snd Clerk of the Executive | Couneil, informed certain Catholic clergymen that it was the wish and intention of the Government | to give a grant of the public money in aid of St. Dunstan's College.” I shall be obliged if you will | inform me whether, from your own knowledge, | Mr. Pope's denial can be borne out by the facts. I remain, Rev. and dear Sir, Yours very truly, EDWARD WHELAN. St. Dunstan's College. Sr. Dunstan's CoLLece, Sept. 29, 1861. DEAR Sir; In reply to yours of the 26th instant, relative to, a short letter in the Islander of that date, signed “W. H. Pope,” I have to state that I am quite satisfied that the assertion in the Examiner of the 22nd inst. which Mr. Pope so “ emphatically denies "' is substantially correct. Herewith I enclose a letter from Hia Lordship the Bishop of Charlottetown which will have the effect of placing Mr. Secretary Pope in rather | , an unenviable position. Mr. Pope and his friends are endeavouring to make political capital out of the probability that | the majority of Liberal Protestants may be honestly enough disposed to do justice to Catholics with regard to St. Dunstan's College. Much has been written with this view by the Government press. I think that the time has arrived to expose the manifest duplicity with which Mr. Pope and the Government have acted in thia matter. They are striving to create a prejudice against their politi- eal oppovents on account of the suspicion that they are inclined to do that very thing which they themselves appeared anxious to do, and would, I believe, hare done, had they possessed more moral courage and more honest principle. Surely Mr. Pope has not forgotten the frequent interviews which he had with His Lordship re- lative to St. Dunstan's College, the Convent and the Board of Education. He must remember that he pleaded with unusual eloquence the cause of Catholics in the presence of a Catholic clergy- man, in the office of the Hun. Mr. Palmer—that he labored strenuously to impress most strongly on the mind of the Premier, the justice, the necessity of fully satisfying Catholics regarding their College and the education question generally. He will not, I preaume, deny that he on that occasion advocated the just claimsof the Catholic College with as much enthusiasm and apparent earnestness as could be displayed by any “ Romish” priest. It haa not escaped the memory of the Colonial Secretary that the veritable “AV. H. Pope” went in peraon to a Jeading Catholic layman in Char- lottetown, for the express purpose of ascertaining from him the cost of St. Dunstan’s College, with the view of inducing *‘ the Government to give a , grant of the public money iu aid of St. Dunstan’s Callege,” equivalent, at least, to the interest of the cost.of the building! Has Mr. Pope forgotten that the Hon. Edward Palmer called on the Bishop relative to St. Dunstan's College, &c., that even the Lieutenant Governor paid a visit to His Lordship on the same business, and that notice was given of this visit by a note from ‘ W. H. Pope?” The Hon. Mr. Palmer will not deny that he asserted befure lay gentlemen that it was but a matter of simple Justice that the Catholic College should reeeive a pubjie grant. Another gentleman, high in the Government, and whose name J am prepared to give, admitted to myself the jast right of St. Dunstan's to a public grant, and suggested to me the propriety of publickly sdvocating Catbolic rights, with . | proposes to pirate a portion of the theologica! | |to procure a ready sale for it. We must say, however, we have never before seen | greed for money se iupudeutly and unblash-| ingly exhilnted.

Really and truly it ix too “ horrible!" Its circulation must be cireumscribed—therefore it shan't be sold “ indiserimiuately"’’! therefore a high price must be put upon those copies that are likely to be sold!! And if this speculation sue- ceeds, says the pious publisher to himself, “I shall offer something more in the unctuous line.” Such seems to be the g or need for money | on the part of the pious publisher of the ‘ Protes-| tant,’ who appears desirous of catering to the ti- cious passions of hix patrons, that we shail not be at all surprised to see an announcement ix the religious part of bis paper to the following effect— “In the press and sbortly will be published, an abridged edition of the poems of the Earl of Ro- chester, who, in the reign of Charles the Second, was a decided opponent to the “ Popish” religion. Owing to the “horrible” character of some of the poems, they will not be sold “ indiscriminately.” Price, balf a dollar—D. Laird, Publisher.” And if that speculation succeeds, we may expect to aee another advertisement aa follows :— “The Undersigned has now in the press a work consisting of about 30 pages, being extracts from the works of celebrated Surgeons and Physicians on Anatomical €cience, showing the origin and progress of diseases of a certain delicate charac- ter. The work will be illustrated by wood en- gravings. Owing to the peculiar character of these engravings, and the letter press description, the work will not be sold “ indiscriminately.” Price in sealed covers, half a dollar ~all orders to be accompanied by the cash. D. Latrp, Publisher.” There is no doubt that, in this line, our pious friend may push a prosperous trade, if his only anxiety is — ax we suppose it is—to accumulate the “‘siller" and “bawbees."" Should the enter- prise be vot “ self-sustaining,” a sum of money may be filched from the public funds to indemnify the pious publisher as was done to subsidize George Sutherland, not for his trashy book, but for his political services to the party in power. But then, of course, Orangemen and “Gospel Ministers” must work like niggers to keep that party in office. We have never read, and don’t know anything about the works of Liguori, from which the editor of the ‘Protestant’ proposes to publish extracts which he says are toc “ horrible" — meaning too indecent—for general perusal; but we cannot un- derstand why persons not in communion with the Catholic Church should concern themselves about such things, se long as their religious belief is not interfered with. It would be easy enough to find in the records, literature, or ritual, of any denomi- nation of Christians passages that might be easily misconstrued or perverted to serve a bad purpose; but the miserable wretch who can descend to such a thing leaves himself open to the charge of being actuated by mean, mercenary and corrupt motives.

The Memorial I sent Home was not against the Bill to give effect to the Award, but against the Bill to facilitate its wperation, the former being | the work of the Queen's Commissioners, in whose | ot “ Popery,” the knowledge of which will, no! integrity and fair dealing on the Land Question I tave some confidence; the latter the work of A simple reference to the Duke of Neweastle’s recently published dexpateb would have prevented your falling inte bers of the Executive Council may have thought it unnecesssry to notice a Memorial proceeding frem a private individual, but it is a tact that one member, at least, was aware of ite existence, and advised me to withdraw it, which I declined to do. made, however, no stipulation for secrecy, so that the whole Board might have seen it if they pleased. At the meeting in December last, to which you refer, I spoke in favour of the Award, so far as it was then known, and particularly of that portion of it which recommended the adoption of the wholesale purchase principle. If I voted on the same side as Mr. Coles, it was certainly not | “against the Tenantry,"as you assert, but with- out stating what the question at issue was. At all events, I will undertake to assure you that | neither Mr. Coles nor Mr. Whelan has been in any | way “instrumental in inducing me to petition against the “ Act or Acts.” Proprietor, (having been absent from the Island at the time the resolutions were parsed which gave rise to the subsequent proceedings on the Land Question) yet I have at various times pledged myself to abide by the decision of the Commis- sioners. Besides, you must well remember, Mr. Editor, that when the Commission sat in Charlotte- town it was confidently stated that its powers were universal, as between Landlords and Ten- ants; and the Duke of Newcastle, in a later Des- patch, while admitting the insufficiency of the Commissioners’ powers to bind non-consenting Proprietors, yet intimated that those who held aloof would meet with little favour or support from the Colonial Office in any future disputes with their Tenants. It is, therefore, incorrect to say my estates would not be interfered with, and that the Award would only indirectly affect me. I think I have said enough ta shew that Iam by no means desi- rous of perpetuating the teasehold tenure, as you have laboured so assiduously to prove; on the contrary, I shall rejoice te see any p 1 ear- ried out which has for ita object the settlement of the Land Question en “fair and equitable terms.” As to the insinuation contained in the last para- graph of your article, I beg to assure you that Mr. Whelan knows nothing of the Memorial to which you refer, and “ had no hand in the matter.” Before I conclude, Mr. Editor, allow me to con- gratulate you on your newly developed sympathies with the Tenaots’ cause. Surely this must be a case of mistaken identity! Is it possible that the reputed Editor of the ‘Islander,’ and Mr. Secre- tary Pope, who so zealously assisted the Propriv- tors’ cause in the Commissioners’ Court, can be the same person? Who more industriously searched the old Despatch Books for facts favour- ing the Landlords, or more strenuously insisted on the virtue of a Despatch, when it bore in favour of the Proprietors ? . If, at any future time, Sir, you have occasion to mention my name in connection with public affairs, I beg you will be more precise and exact in your statements, and thus save me the trouble of making long and tiresome explanations, for which I have neither leisure nor inclination. 1 am, Sir, your obedient servant, ROBERT POORE HAYTHORNE. +o THe Norti Brrrish Review, tor Angust. has been received from the American publishers.
