6 there was no hurry in getting through them till they would | have an opportunity of exanmuing them, but when the accounts had been gone through, they wanted to examine some tatters, and to have time to concoct something else. As to threats, he was said to have used, there had been no threats. Sucha! thing had never been Seard of, as that an office-holder would | vote for a resufution to condemn his own Government, and still | hold office. He detied him to show that there was such a thing. | Mr. CLARK said, be knew what the hon. member alluded to. He knew that he had threatened kim several times. The question had been ¢o adjourn the debate; aud he had no alternative. Did the hon. member think that he should vote | agaist his conscience ? Hon, COL. SECRETARY declared, that the hon. member | was wrong. There had been no motion te adjourn, Eis motion | was for the Speaker to take the chau, and the chairman to re- port the report agreed to. Mr. CLARK still maintained the position he bad taken. tion. Mr. MOONEY did not know what hoo. members were desirons of domg ; and he really thought, though he might be wrong, that the minority would be gladto get clear of the matter. $f there was time, he would allow them forty-eight hours longer to inquire into it. He hod been surprised, that they hed not been making much noise about the Public Ac- ceunts. But the thing now was, the ime was advanced—the epring Was coming on ; aad an hon. member had asked leave of absence for the remainder of the session. The minority might think to dodge the question, till that supporter of the Govern- iment had gone home. Mr. T. HEATIL HAVILAND aaid, the hon. member talked about dodges, but not with the majority. ‘The hon. member for King’s County, lion. Mr. Whelan, satd the minority should submit to the majority; but he (Mr. IL.) thought the minority would do their duty by raising their voices to the ELouse, and making inquiries mts all matters that came before it. Ile said he was willing to submit to the report of the Committee ; and he (Mr. H.) would be very willing afso, if he had such a large salary as that bon. gentleman received from the Government. That bon. member also asked, was the state of the Public Accounts tu be altered ; but be (Mr. H) presumed they were not ike the laws of the Medes and Persians, and that where the majority had been extravagant in expenditure, the minority might inquire into it, acd check their expenditure in future. He tad alse said, that the majority had the right to dictate whe should be on the Committee of Public Accounts ; he need not have said so; bat he (Mr. IL.) could tel! him that no other majority, either in Great Britain or Her Majesty's Colomes, was ever guilty of such a tyrannical act as that majority on the first day ef tke session. They would not allow a member of the munerity to be on the committee of Public Accounts. It was all very fine to svy that the minority might ask the chairman of the committee on Public Accounts to show them those accounts, but the Mouse knew that a member of a committee bad much more facaltty in examining into those accounts than a member who was not. fon. Mr. Whelan seemed also to be astonished that hoo. members who wished to oppose the Bill to-day, should be se anxious to continue on those accounts ; that, however, was just one of the reasons why they wished to oppose them, because they wished to have more time to devote to the Public Accounts. It had been remarked, that when the committee rose the public would have a full account of the expenditure ; ut might be added, whether contrary to jaw or not, judiciously or injudiciously ; and that was the reason why they should de- vote a little more time to the Public Accounts. The Hon. Col. Secretary had said, what was the use of having Auditors; but +t no further inquiries were to be made, they might as well have empty chairs, and hand over the accounts at the end of the session, aud say all was correct. He (Mr. El.) considered that their duty was not superseded by those Anditors, and that they were still bound as representatives of the people to inquire if those accounts were correct, and to see if the auditors did their duty. The Hon. Col. Secretary took it for granted, that | fi because the Auditors were opposed to the Government, the House ought to take al! for nght. Though those gentlemen agreed with him (Mr. Hl.) in politics, and one of them was a relative of his, yet he considered it his duty te examine into the Public Accounts ; and if they should have examined them, he did those gentlemen no wrong by examining them likewise. ile was convinced of one thing by what had taken place, that they wanted no Bill as much as the one to secure the better independence of the Legislature. When a member of the Hlouwse—an office-holder—had been threatened, he said the time had arrived when they should have all office-holders ex- cluded from the House ; ond then they might have indepen- dence. They might as well have empty chairs as men bound to a certain course, and not allowed to exercise independent votes when they were on the floor of the House, or bound to resigD their offices, R.

The Opposition do not, for a moment, hesitate to assert, that the absence of a teamer to carry mails and passengers, is entirely owing to the improper management, or rather the want of management, on he part of the Government, with regard to such an important The Jslander informs us, that the Government are onveyance than * a sailing schooner,’’ and boasts that twenty- ve years ago there was a steamboat between Charlottetown We shall dispose of the question of ** means *’ in few moments.

On this offer haying been communicated hy telegraph, Mr. Boultenhouse came over to Charlottetown, and bas been in consultation with members of the Government for several days during the past week, but we believe that no arrangement has yet been concluded. — sa The recital of these facts must convince every unprejudiced person, that it is not from want of ** means,’’ and the disposi- tion to use them liberally fur the public service, that we are now deprived of the advantages of a steam communication between this Island and the neighbouring Provinces.

This mark of distinction must be highly gra- tifying to all Colonists, and to ourselves in particular, inas- much as it not only recognises the equality of the Prince Edward Islander, but places him on the high road to honour in one of the most distinguished branches of the service of the Empire ; and we have no doubt that the young gentlemen who have been selected by the several Colonial Governors, and approved of by the Admiralty, will prove themselves worthy of the choiee ; and hereafter, yiclding to the impulses of an honourable ambition, and exercising the talents which a bene- ficent Creator has bestowed upon them, so elevate themsclyes in the ranks of their profession, as not only to reflect credit upon their own admiring countrymen, but show that the Co- lonist in the New World is not inferior to his great progenitor in the Old, and that the one can emulate the achievements which sheds so much glory round the annals of the other. These observations have been suggested to us by the an- nouncement which we have the pleasure to make, that Master Robert Watts Davies, son of Benjamin Dayies, Esq., of this City, having been nominated as the Cadet from this Colony, and approved of by the Admiralty, has been appointed to the North American and West Indian Flect, under the command of His Excellency Admiral Sir Houston Stewart. We are in- formed that our Cadet passed his examination in the most creditable manner before the Naval Board at Halifax, and is entered on the books of H. M. 8. Indus. The young oflicer is only thirteen years of age. His selection at such a time of life must be a source of much gratification to his relatives and friends, and indicates no common mind in preparing himself thus carly fur his professional duties. TREASURY WARRANTS.

Pinorals the Colony has been so impoverished as to be the fanaties of Protestant sects rendered it impracticable. Jn such matters we do but follow the Scriptures in respecting even the prejudices of all from whom we differ, and imitate not merely the recognized policy of the day in Great Britain, but likewise, in my mind, the truest interpretation of holy writ, But though the liberal Protestants fearlessly acted on this conviction, they would as fearlessly oppose any attempted invasion of the religious liberties of any of their Protestant fellow subjects. Now, there can be no difficulty in finding where the bar- rier is between opposite persons on these subjects. We have the law of the land for our standard, and Mr, Cephas Bar- ker’s ministrations, provided uo interruption is offered to the pultie thoroughfare, and no sedition uttered, are perfectly legitimate, and he is as much at liberty to inculcate his re- ligious tenets in the highway, as another is to give a lecture on heads, or to ty a quack medicine, or to ery notices of a sale ; and though he did not at first meet with that prompt protection that the law entitled him to, yet the public opinion of all, and the good sense of the Roman Catholic body have rescued him from the dread of interruption, which would have been an act of unmitigated tyranny. In this every one must rejoice, and no one less than myself, for I should have felt it hard to have been obliged to separate from those in union with whom I have contended for the substance aud not the name of civil and religious liberty, Yours truly, W.S. Ch. Town, July 20th, 1857. To rue Evtror or tuz Examiner. Sr,—In the list of trials at the last sitting of the Supreme Court published in the Royal Gazette there appear two Indict- ments preferred against me for larceny, at the suit of William Heard and William C. Bourke. As the public generally are pretty well conversant by this time with the merits of the case, I do not deem it necessary to give a very lengthy expla- nation of the affair. For the lust three or four years | have bought at different times, in large and small quantities, iron, junk, &c., for the purpose of exporting the same to the United unable to provide for one. with the subject, knows that the general rule under the old regime was to have no steamer—the St. George and the Rose were merely exceptions to that rule. former was a very small sum in comparison to what has been paid of late years ; and the sum with which the services of the latter was rewarded, was equally insignificant, proved a heavy loss to their owners, and had to be taken out of the service. Now, every person at all acquainted The amount given to the Both steamers In 1854, when the Tories, by means of treachery and apos- tacy, succeeded to the administration of affairs, they found the Colony in a prosperous condition—the Treasury well supplied with means, and the public debt almost liquidated—what pro- vision did they then make for steam communication? We remember that a mighty fuss was made in the Assembly on the subject—the Attorney General (Mr. Palmer) leading off a tire- some debate by a speech of most unconscionable length, which ended in recommending the House to lace at the disposal of the Government the munificent sum of nine hundred pounds, ‘* as a contingent fund,’’ says the resolution, (Journal 1854, . 61) ** for obtaining the segwices of a good and sufficient Steam ’acket, for the conveyance of the Government Mails, for the poe year, between Charlottetown and Pictou, and Char- ottetown and Shediac ; and that provision be made for a like sum yearly, in case a contract be entered into by the Govern- ment, for such public service, ror the term of three years.’ The £900 were appropriated for the service, but we do not remember that a steamer was obtained. Now, every year since the Liberals came into office, a highly respectable provision has been made for the mail service. Last year the Lady le Marchant had £1150, and was not on the route the whole sea- son. This year the Government offered the ownerof that vessel a larger amount for her services. They advertised for a June — more than a month after the navigation had opened. The Government then offered to give the owner £1300 bor the use of his boat for the remainder of the season, to go on the sume route as formerly. Although this was £150 more than he States. William Heard, the principal prosecutor, and inciter of the other prosecutors (or rather persecutors), who is so fond | we understand, state what amount he would be satisfied with. The Lady having returned to Richibuctou, the Government, journals generally outshine their secular cotemporaries in this ‘sort of work. steamer in January or February —there was no offer of one | made. The Lady le Marchant arrived here about the Ist of Secretary, Hon. Col. Treasurer, &e. The examination evinced received last year, Mr. DesBrisay refused it; and did not, as! Of course the editor of the Islander will contradict this statement, and assure us that he knows more about the state of the Treasury Department than the Treasurer himself. FLOUR—A SOURCE OF REVENUE! As an additional proof of the /s/ander’s correctness in finan- cial matters, we were entertained with the astounding news in that paper of the 10th instant, that the large revenue for this quarter is ‘‘ mainly derived from’’ ‘ immportations of flour!” The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States admits flour and all other breadstuffs duty free; and the reciprocal regula- tions now subsisting between all the North American Colonies, admit the same articles into each, also duty free. But the Islander says there is a duty on flour, and as that veracious paper has frequently challenged the whole world to prove that it ever published a falsehood, why we must conclude that all our treaty stipulations have been revoked, and our Colonial tariffs altered, without the knowledge of the poor concerned ! Who does edit the Islander now? It surely cannot be Mr. Macleau—for he ought to, and does, know better. SANCTIFIED JOURNALISM. Tue last No. of the Protector contains some remarks on the subject of street preaching, in which an attempt is made to identify the whole Catholic community with the interruption offered to Mr. Barker on Sunday week. The Protector’s pre- mises are entirely false, and the sneers and insinuations with which they are coupled are not merely unchristian, but dis- graceful to the last degree.

Massacre on THe Dritisu, ano Preparations rox A TeR- RIBLE Reraisurion.—At the commencement of the month of May, the native force at Meerut consisted of the 3d Li Cavalry, and the 11th and 20th Regiments of Native In- fantry. Among the men of the cavalry corps the question of the greased cartridges, which had previously been mooted at Barackpore and other stations, was freely agitated. The result of the movement was that 85 men of the regiment re- fusing to handle the cartridges found themselves, in the early days of the month, tried by court-martial, and sen to various terms of imprisonment with bard labor. On the 9th their sentences were read out on parade, and the offenders marched off to gaol. Up to the 10th, disaffection had shown itself only through incendiary fires in the lines, hardly a night passing without one or more conflagrations. But then it appeared at once all in its unsuspected strength.
