Sir,—It is reported that a dissolute per- son from Nova Sevtia was lately sentenced to Queen’s County Jail for thirty days for Vagrancy, and that after spending some vight or nine days there, was released by an order from the Stipendiary Magistrate. If this report is true, two very important questions arise—the one affecting the citi- zens of Charlottetown, the other aflecting the privileges of the Governor-General and the Executive authority of Canada. The prisoner, one Smith, was cither legally arrested and committed for vag- rancy or he was not. It is too much to as- sume that the -Magistrate convicted John Smith without satisfactory evidence of « his guilt. This would be sutlicient to justify Mr. FitzGerald in committing Smith to jail. Then the man being guilty, and Mr. Fitzgerald having legally committed him to jail, his duty ended, and-he had no more power than the man in the moon to tharge him, and Sheriff Curtis and his jail- er, when they obeyed the order, were as much in the wroug as Mr. FitzGerald him- clis- next morning. One beat containing six passengres and seven of the crew left the ship Lefore receiving its full complement against the captain's orders, and was the only boat lost. All the others were picked up by the the German barque Trabant and transferred to the steamer York City, from Baltimore for London, which was attracted tothe spot by the flames. The Montreal had a crew of 80 men, and there were The spent one night aboard the German Tradant. All were then transferred to the York City, which stayed by through the night, and vainly searched for the missing boat. Capt. Land, of the Montreal, is san, guine that the people inthe missing boat were saved, as the accident occurred in the track of steamers bound east and west. The passengers and crew lost everything. Capt. Brown, of the York City,shared provisions, clothes, etv., with the rescued passengers, | —. qe pa ssengers. and gave them every comfort he could. | he smoke- and heat of the burn-| ing steamer almost ruined the sight of fhe Captain, chief officer andothers. All were purblind fer some time. The chief officer had to be led to the boat. The res- cued passengers and crew when landed at Queenstown were in a pitiable condition. | THE LEAGUE PROCLAIMED !| | — ' Chamberlain and Russell withdraw their Support. | i ——s Excited Discussions | Lonpon, Aug. 19, Balfour announced in the Commons this afternoon that the Government had pro- claimed the Irish National League as a dangerous association, under section six of the Irish Crimes Act Amendment Bill recently made law.
