     THE LATEST DEVELOPMENT! 
     
     It is not a pleasing task to call attention 
     
     to conduct of our public men which is dis 
     
     graceful and disreputable. It indirectly 
     
     affects us abroad ; for public men are con- 
     
     sidered to be a reflex of the electors who 
     
     have chosen When. 
     
     ago, a scandalous charge wes preferred 
     
     against Lord Palmerston, the public jour- 
     
    
   
   
    
     them. some years 
     
    
   
   
    
     gals on all sides of politics, joined in ex- 
     
     pressions of congratulation that the charg 
     
     had pre ve d to be un! unded : be cause the 
     
     honor of England required that her states 
     
     men should not be 
     
     quirements of decency and of honor. With 
     
    
   
   
    
     ndifferent to the re 
     
    
   
   
    
     feelings such as these we 
     
     pithise We have 1 
     
     of this paper, made 
     
    
   
   
    
     heartily syin

     ‘harges against any 
     
    
   
   
    
     politician which were not either admit- 
     
     tedly true, or which we fully proved. It 
     
     has been our unp'casant duty, upon mor 
     
    
   
   
    
     than one occasion,to call attention to very 
     
     questionxbie conduct on the part of the 
     
     Hon. R. yl Haythor e, We did it with 
     
     regret. We felt it at the time an un- 
     
     pleasunt duty to han down to posterity 
     
     the name of the Hon. R. P. Haythorne, 
     
     the bye word he h But we 
     
     felt ita duty from which wi 
     
     to shrink. 
     
     ant duties to perform ; and 
     
    
   
   
    
     ; made it. 
     
     eught not 
     
     Journalists often have unpleas 
     
     it is more in 
     
     in anger that we have toe 
     
    
   
   
    
     sorrow than i 
     
     act of the Hon. R 
     
    
   
   
    
     public attention to a: 
     
    
   
   
    
     P. Haythorne, so outrageous, and s 
     
     dalous in its nature, that we are fain to 
     
     hope that he isthe ouly public man we 
     
     have who would be guilty of such an act. 
     
     wee Lethaps the most <erious charge which 
     
     can be brought against any man, is a de- 
     
    
   
   
    
     liberate attempt to pervert the adminis- 
     
     tration of justice. he crime—for crime 
     
     it is—is considered of suv black a kind, 
     
     that any Court of justice, worthy of the 
     
     name, would punish the culprit with « 
     
     heavy band. In the Supreme Court 
     
     when a case lasts over a day, the Judge 
     
     warns the Jury to hold no conversation 
     
     If any 
     
     should happen to have done so, the Court, 
     
     upon learning tle fact, would set the ver 
     
    

    
     dict aside, and if either the 
     
     defendant were the guilty 
     
    

    
     punish them. It is of con 
     
     this that Mr. Haytho: 
     
     —of holding private

     When the Lefurgy case came before 
     
     Hou-e of Assembly, Mr. Sulli

     Mr. Haythorne’s friends must admit that 
     
    
   
   
    
     he can lay no claim to the title. But even 
     
    
   
   
    
     if he were otherwise; even if we admit 
     
     that he oceupies the high and lofty 
     
     pinnacle of that * social position “ 
     
    
   
   
    
     which so dazzles Mr. Davies, then we 
     
     claim that he is more deserving of punish

     that, from his high “ social position,’’ he

     deserves. 
     
    
   
   
    
     was tried before the Supreme Court, be-

     Some years ago, an appeal case 
     
    
   
   
    
     tween two men from the 
     
     The late Chief Justice Jarvis took time 
     
     to consider his judgment. The night be- 
     
     fore the day on which the decision of the 
     
     ease was to be given, one of the parties 
     
     called at the Chief Justice’s house and 
     
    
   
   
    
     left for him a turkey and a leg of mutton. | 
     
    
   
   
    
     The next day, when the case came up for 
     
     judgment, the Chief Justice ordered the 
     
     turkey and the leg of mutton to be pro- 
     
     duced in court and given to the anxious 
     
     suitor; and he coneluded a severe repri- 
     
     mand by saying that if he had had an edu- 
     
     cation so that he could have understood 
     
     the consequences of his act (that is, if he 
     
     had as Mr. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Haythorne) he would have fined him and 
     
    
   
   
    
     had such a ‘‘ social position 
     
    
   
   
    
     sent him to prison. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Mr. Haythorne’s «social position” 
     
    
   
   
    
     really aggravates the wrong he has done; | 
     
    
   
   
    
     and we can imagine Mr. Davies’ indigna- 
     
     tion and fury if, in the Supreme Court, 
     
     he were called upon to answer the argu- 
     
    
   
   
    
     ment that ‘ secial position ’ gives immu-

     THE NEW PRESIDENT. 
     
     We very much regret to learn that 
     
     Herbert Bell, Esq., has been appointed 
     
     A 
     
    
   
   
    
     worse appointment could not have been 
     
    
   
   
    
     President of the Legislative Council. 
     
     made, Mr. Bell is chiefly known as a 
     
     violent and unscrupulous partizan, whose 
     
     vindictiveness stops short of nothing in 
     
     his attacks upon those who are so unhappy 
     
     as to have offended him. 
     
    

    
     In his own County—Priace County— 
     
     he was chiefly remarkable in a ease before 
     
     the Supreme Court, wherein he was found 
     
     guilty of slander, and damages were ren- 
     
     dered against him for a wicked and. mali- 
     
     cious libel against a man who is his su- 
     
     perior in every respect except those very 
     
     questionable characteristics which we have 
     
     ilready alluded to as possessed by Mr. 
     
     Bell in an eminent degree. 
     
    

    
     The head of the Legislative Council 
     
     should be one in whom that body could 
     
     repose confidence,—to whom they cou'd 
     
    
   
   
    
     look with respect; and there are mem- | 
     
    
   
   
    
     bers in that body, whom, had they been 
     
     chosen, public opinion would have com- 
     
     mended their elevation to the President’s 
     
     Either the Hon. Patrick Walker 
     
     or the Hon. James Dingwell would have 
     
     ereditably and honestly filled that position. 
     
     We trvest that Mr. Strong, when he 
     
    
   
   
    
     chair.

     implicated in an appointment so distaste— 
     
     ful, not only to their own supporters, but 
     
     to everyone who is at all qualified to ex- 
     
     press an opinion upon the subject. The 
     
     Government are in a minority in the Up- 
     
     per House, and there was, therefore, the 
     
     more necessity that its hezd should be a 
     
     person who would hold the scales impar- 
     
     tially between the contending parties, 
     
     and one whe would not allow party pre- 
     
     judice and bad feeling to obscure that 
     
     sense of justice which should never be 
     
     wanting in its President.

     speak out, and to demand, forthe credit of | 
     
     the country, and fer the sake of the morals | 
     
    
   
   
    
     of the community, that those members of 
     
     the House of Assembly, who have lost 
     
     their own self-respect, shall at least retain 
     
     ‘some regard for that of their constitu- 
     
     ents. 
     
    

    
     In writing thus, we do so from no party 
     
     motives. We are forced to confess, that 
     
     one side is as much to blame as the other; 
     
     and we also regret to add, that on both 
     
     sides, some of the worst offenders are those 
     
     who, trom their position and education, 
     
     have least excuse for their conduct. 7 
     
    

    
     It is certainly a miserable condition to 
     
     which we are reduced, when we no longer 
     
     | eare to ask about the eloquence or rhetoric 
     
    

    
     of our legislators, but simply beg for

     what excuse memlers make to themselves 
     
    
   
   
    
     for such conduct. Most of them, pro- 
     
    
   
   
    
     bably all of them, know better; and 
     
     in private society, can behave like 
     
     gentlemen, Why, then, in their pub- 
     
     lie capacity, do they adopt the language 
     
    
   
   
    
     They 
     
    
   
   
    
     cannot surely de!'ude themselves into the

     traordinarily bad, as in their chosen style 
     
     of rhetoric they are equalled by the gut 
     
     ter boys on the street. 
     
    

    
     If the evil

     Night after night, the House of Assembly | 
     
    
   
   
    
     is crowded, mostly with the young men 
     
     of the place, who come to see “a row;” 
     
     They

     his seat in the Dominion Parliament, be- 
     
     fore sending his resignation to the Speak- | 
     
     er of the Local House, he will render 
     
     himself liable to the payment of a heavy 
     
     fine. As it is very probable that he will 
     
     take his seat in the Commons during the 
     
     coming Session, it is more than likely that 
     
     he will resign, in the manner prescribed 
     
     by law, before leaving the Island for Ot- 
     
     tawa. Should"he adopt this course, there 
     
     will be no difficulty in the matter. A 
     
     writ may be immeédiately issued for the 
     
     election of a person to represent the First

     while discussing the subject, will be. 
     
     quietly removed, Should he see fit not | 
     
     to adopt it, then, we suppose, the Assem- 
     
     bly will, before prorogation, discharge him | 
     
     for neglect of duty ; and another and (we

     ACTIONS VERSUS WORDS. 
     
     Just before the fall of the 
     
     tration led by the Hon. James C. Pope, 
     
     the appraisers of land taken up by the live 
     
    
   
   
    
     Adminis 
     
    
   
   
    
     of railway were engaged in appraising 
     
     property in the vicinity of Charlottetown. 
     
     When about to value land belonging to 
     
     Mr. Pope, their proceedings were stayed 
     
     by Mr Mr. Pope saw 
     
     that his Administration would ve defeat- 
     
    
   
   
    
     Pope himself. 
     
    
   
   
    
     ed, and that appraisers would soon be ap- 
     
     pointed by his political opponents ; and 
     
     said he, ‘ I will have my land valued by 
     
     j them, so that my influegce may not in 
     
     ‘any way effect the award in my favor.” 
     
     This incident was first made public in the 
     
     Assembly by the Attorney General on 
     
     Thursday evening last. We hope the 
     
     Opposition press will not fail to give it 
     
     the greatest possible publicity. ‘ Ac- 
     
     ? they say, ‘speak louder than

     words,”’ greedy,”’ “ 
     
     ing,” “ selfish,’’ “unscrupulous,” *‘ dis— 
     
     honest,” have been heaped upon the 
     
     head of Mr. Pope by the Patriot, Pro- 
     
     Herald. These are 
     
     ‘‘Joud ;’’ but the little noble act which 
     
    
   
   
    
     | we now chronicle for the first time, will

     We are glad to learn that one of the 
     
    
   
   
    
     last acts of Lord Kimberley, before his | 
     
    
   
   
    
     resignation, was to advise Her Majesty 
     
     to give her Royal Assent to the Tenants’ 
     
     Compensation Acts. The minutes ot 
     
     | Council and letters written by Mr. Hay- 
     
    
   
   
    
     thorne and his colleagues, were remark- 
     
    
   
   
    
     ‘able for nothing but their prolixity ; and 
     
    
   
   
    
     if no represeutation had been made but 
     
    
   
   
    
     by the late Government, the Acts would

     But the present Government 
     
    
   
   
    
     sentations convinced Lord Kimberly of 
     
    
   
   
    
     | the necessity which existed that these acts |

     vigilance and watehfulness of the Govern- 
     
     ment, their attempts were defeated; and, 
     
     as soon as the usual notificalion is pub- 
     
     lished in the Royal Gazette the Acts will 
     
     become operative. 
     
     evident another instance in which the in- 
     
     terests of the tenantry are in safer keep-

     To the Editor of the Examiner. 
     
     Sin :—When I tell you that I was one of 
     
    
   
   
    
     moralized, and the country is made a | the audience at Mr, Shaw’s lecture, you may 
     
    
   
   
    
     | possibly think that I might as well have 
     
    
   
   
    
     said on the spot that which I now write; 
     
    
   
   
    
     not ready at retort, and prefer my pen to 
     
    
   
   
    
     my tongue. Moreover, it was hardly poss 
     
     sible to answer Mr. Bowers’ very discursive 
     
     and irrelevant remarks, without going into 
     
     a politico-religious dispute, which must 
     
     have lasted half the night without doing 
     
     the least good. 
     
    

    
     In speaking of the escape of Prince 
     
     Charlie, afer the battle of Culloden, Mr. 
     
     Bowers was pleased to make some spiteful 
     
     remarks on the mercenary spirit of Englishs 
     
     men as compared with the Scotch and Irish 
     
     —insinuating that had the Prince been 
     
     in England, he would have been betrayed, 
     
     It strikes me that the escape of Charles 
     
     Il, from Worcester, shews quite as much 
     
     in favor of Charles’ English adherents, as 
     
    
   
   
    
     | the adventures of Prince Charlie in favor 
     
    
   
   
    
     of his Highland followers. Charles’ wans 
     
     derings did not last so long; but for six 
     
     weeks he was hunted about a thickiy popu- 
     
     lated country, equally proscribed, equally 
     
     sought, and equally preserved by disinter. 
     
     ested devotion. The fidelity of the six 
     
     brothers Penderell may safely be coms 
     
     pared with that of Flora McDonald, es, 
     
     pecially as men are seldom so enthusiastic 
     
     in any cause as women; and besic.es, the 
     
     reward for his betrayal the penalty of high 
     
     treason was attached to the fact of having 
     
     only harbored him. The lecturer «id not 
     
     mention, and Mr. Bowers probably does 
     
     not know. that so highly was Flora Mcs 
     
     Donald’s heroism appreciated in Emgland, 
     
     that the greatest and best in the land 
     
     called upon her in person, and yuickly 
     
     shamed George II. into anamnesty. As 
     
     Mr. Bowers persistently dragged in religi- 
     
     ous discussion and Irish grievances, under 
     
     the name of ‘ Protestant ascendancy,’ well 
     
     knowing that it no longer exists, it is clear 
     
     that he is bent on inaugurating a “ New 
     
     Era”’ of discord and animosity. With this 
     
     conviction, I beg to leave him and his 
     
     remarks for what they are wortl:—con-

     | the most important question which can 
     
     cone before Canadian legislators or peo— 
     
     ple. Whether the present generation will 
     
     have to decide on it is a point on which 
     
     we do not, at present, offer any opinion, 
     
     There is no doubt, however, that very 
     
     many statesmen and thinkers on both 
     
     both sides of the Atlantic believe that it 
     
     Amongst these we 
     
    
   
   
    
     will have to be so. 
     
     find a writer in that able sheet the New 
     
     York “Nation,” and as the subject is one on 
     
     | which a foreigner is likely to be able to 
     
    
   
   
    
     speak whith much more calmness and 
     
     | impartiality than one of our own country 
     
     | men, we have thought it well to lay his 
     
     ‘remarks before our readers. The ex- 
     
     tract is taken from a criticism on Profes— 
     
     sor Cairnes’ “ Political Essays,’’ in one 
     
     'of which he supports “ Colonial Emanci— 
     
     pation’ most warmly. The “ Nation ” 
     
     states Mr. Cairnes’ arguments, and re— 
     
    
   
   
    
     plies to them as follows :— 
     
    

    
     “The thesis he maintains is that England 
     
     ought to give up the attempt to retain the 
     
     Colonies as part of their empire : * The British 
     
     Empire, such as it has hitherto been known 
     
     to the world, has reached its natural goal. 
     
    

    
     : , ; Instead of a great political 
     
     we shall be a great moral unity, bound to- 
     
     gether no longer, indeed, by Imperial liga- 
     
     ments supplied from the Colonia! Office, but 
     
     by the stronger bonds of the blood, language 
     
     and religion, by the common inheritance of 
     
     laws fitted for free men, and of a literature 
     
     rich in all that can keep alive the associa- 
     
     tions of our common glory in the past.’ 
     
    

    
     “The arguments by which this conclusion 
     
     is reached are as follows :— 
     
     | «Colonies, in the first place, have been 
     
     hitherto held as vaiuable either tor the sake 
     
    
   
   
    
     settlements. The overthrow of the mercan- 
     
     tile system has proved them valueless for 
     
     the first purpose, whilst the refusal of the 
     
     Colonies convicts has rendered 
     
     them valueiess for the second purpose. 
     
    

    
     “The Colonies, in the second place, are 
     
     | now admittedly independent. They are in 
     
     | fact, therfore. separated from the empire. 
     
    

    
     “It follows that there is no advantage in 
     
     maintaining an imperial supremacy which, 
     
     were it real, would be of no value, and when 
     
     in fact, while kept up in name ..t the expense 
     
     of some four millions a year, has long ceased 
     
     | to have any substantial existence 
     
    

    
     “Now, the Professor's reasoning is 
     
     great extent sound, 
     
    
   
   
    
     io receive 
     
    
   
   
    
     loa 
     
    
   
   
    
     Kv ery assertionhe makes can be shown Lo be | 
     
    
   
   
    
     true. [tis true that the ground on which 
     
     | the Colonies used to be held valuable either 
     
     never had any real validity or no longer 
     
     exist. itis trne that the colonies are now 
     
    
   
   
    
     all but independent States, and is true that | 
     
     to acknowledge tueir actual independence | 
     
    
   
   
    
     would deprive Great Britain of every little 
     
     real power. Any controversialist who main- 
     
     tains that it is a great object to keep the pres 
     
     sentrelation between England and her colo- 
     
     nies, is pressed extremely hard by Professor 
     
     Cairnes’ arguments, Even such an opponent 
     
     is not entirely driven off the field, for he may 
     
     jargue both thal the present condition of 
     
    

    
     things confers considerable advantage on the 
     
    

    
     Colonies as, for example, by freeing them 
     
    
   
   
    
     ' 
     
     ed force-and that the present relation between 
     
     ; the mother country and her offspring is well 
     
    

    
     worth keeping up in view of future and un- 
     
     foreseen contingencies. Nevertheless, such 
     
     |a controversialist, if not absolutely routed, 
     
    

    
     would have by far the worst of the conflict; 
     
    

    
     and it is with an oy; ponent occupying the 
     
    

    
     position we described that Professor 
     
     Cairnes deals. Against any one, in short,who 
     
     maintains that the present connection bes 
     
    

    
     tween England and her Colonies can be per- 
     
    

    
     manent!y maintained, he shows, and shows 
     
    

    
     conclusively, that the present arrangement 
     
     | must from their nature be simply transitory, 
     
     and that a crisis has been reached which 
     
     or later will lead to a revolution. 
     
     | Whatis to be noted, however, is that to prove 
     
     this is not to prove the thesis which Prefes- 
     
     sor Cairnes wants to establish. The inevi- 
     
     | table revolution may take one of two courses. 
     
     It may (and this we admit is far the most pro 
     
     bable result) lead to the complete indepen~ 
     
     dence of the Colonies. It may, on the other 
     
     hand, result in a union or federation between 
     
     Great Britain and the States which she has 
     
     founded. Now, the position which writers 
     
     who deprecate the independence of the Cols» 
     
     nies take up is, that mere seperation is a 
     
     | much Jess desirable mode of terminating the 
     
     | present connection than would be the forma- 
     
     | tion of a great Imperial Federation. Politi- 
     
     } clans who take this view have something to 
     
     | say for themselves, It is, for example, credis 
     
     | ble enuugh that such a federation might 
     
     |} maintain liberal principles of commerce 
     
     | which the Colonies will, if independent,sacris 
     
     fice to the delusion of protection. It is, again 
     
     | possible that such a federation might provide 
     
     for the common defence by the use of asmall- 
     
    
   
   
    
     have 
     
    
   
   
    
     sooner 
     
    
   
   
    
     ; er force than would be necessary were the 
     
     British Empire broken into fragments. The 
     
    
   
   
    
     | progress of invention, by practically lessen- 
     
     ing the distance between different parts of 
     
     | the world, makes, it may further be urged, 
     
     political combinations possible which could 
     
     not have been dreamt of acentury ago. If 
     
     America had in the time of George the Third, 
     
     been within ten days’ sail of London, and 
     
     connected with Great Britain by the electric 
     
     cable, the demand thatrepresentation should 
     
     go along with taxation would have been met 
     
     | by introducing into the House of Common, 
     
     | members for Boston and Philadelphia, With 
     
     the principles, however, or dreams of those 
     
     | who wish to extend rather than diminish the 
     
     Kmpire we have no concern. Mr. Froud, 
     
     and writers of his school may be pure vision- 
     
     jaries. Ail we contend is that Professor 
     
     | Cairnes never assails their position. His 
     
     | argument, that connection with the Empire 
     
     {is at bottom inconsistent with Colonial in- 
     
     dependence, will not touch them, for they 
     
     admit the fact; but suppose that Canada or 
     
     | Australia will sacrifice some independence 
     
     j in Imperial matters(e,g, the right of establishs 
     
     | ing protecting tariffs) for the sake of enjoying 
     
     | the full rights of citizens of a great Empire. 
     
     It is in fact upon the truth of this supposition 
     
     that Professor Cairnes and his opponents 
     
     |} must ultimately join issue. If Canada or 
     
     ; Australia value the British connections highly 
     
     } enough to sacrilice something to it, human 
     
     ingenuity could certainly arrange terms of 
     
     union ; if not, the relation of nominal depens 
     
     | dence must at least terminate in acknows

     The papers relating to Her Majesty's 
     
     Colonial possessions contain some interest- 
     
     ing. observations upon the fisheries, which 
     
     furnish the largest portion of the exports of 
     
    
   
   
    
     Newfoundland, and the chief means of oc- | 
     
    
   
   
    
     cupation for the population. The physical 
     
    
   
   
    
     features for the country seem peculiarly | 
     
    
   
   
    
     | adapted for the purpose. The bays which 
     
     | indent the whole line of coast are among 
     
     | the finest in the world. These bays are in 
     
     turn indented by countless minor bays, ins 
     
     lets and harbors which carry the great 
     
     arms of the Atlantic, laden with the finny 
     
     treasure, providing water communication of 
     
     | great value. The cod fishery, which is the 
     
     | staple produce of Newfoundland, is proses 
     
     cuted from June till October. and affords 
     
     employment to the mass of the population, 
     
     who carry on this fishery around the shores 
     
     | of the Island and on the coast of Labrador 
     
    

    
     from whence one third of the annual catch 
     
     is now, during a prosperous season, taken. 
     
    
   
   
    
     sively confined to the French and Aineri- 
     
     cans. It is remarkable that the cod fishery 
     
     shows no progress, the catch of fifty years 
     
     ago being almost as great as that of the 
     
     present time. Thus, while the population 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     has more than doubled, there has been al~ 
     
     most no increase in their chief means of 
     
    
   
   
    
     ‘support, which, #s has been proven, is 
     
     |somewhat variable and precarious. The 
     
    
   
   
    
     manner in which the business is conducted | 
     
    
   
   
    
     between the merchant and the fishermen is 
     
     | for each of the former to supply food, cloths 
     
     | ing, boots, tackle, &c., to a number of 
     
    
   
   
    
     ilies, on the understanding that the fisher- 
     
     men, or, as they are called, “ dealers,’’ sell 
     
     to the merchant all the fish taken at the 
     
    
   
   
    
     cost of the fish. It will thus be seen that a 
     
     | bad fishery brings no loss to the merchant, 
     
     except by the quantity of goods given by 
     
     | him on credit to the fisherman ; whereas a 
     
     good voyage brings ample remuneration, as

     Some time «go we stated that the De- 
     
     partment of the Secretary of State for Can, 
     
     ada showed but scant courtesy to His Honor 
     
     the Administrator of the Government , and 
     
     that but little attention was paid to His 
     
     Honor’s despatches. The of 
     
     this stateme it was challenged at the time; 
     
     and we announced our intention of waiting 
     
     until the despatches were placed before the 
     
     House when the public would ka in a bet- 
     
     ter position to judge of the correctness of 
     
    
   
   
    
     our statement, as we were quite willing 
     
    
   
   
    
     correctness 
     
    
   
   
    
     that the despatches should speak for them. 
     
     Immediately after the opening of 
     
     the House, the Colonial Secretary, by com.~ 
     
     mand of His Honor, laid upon the table 
     
     the despatches received from Ottawa in 
     
     answer to those forwarded by His Honor, 
     
     relative to Mr. Perry’s resignation. Ina 
     
     very lengthy and able communication, 
     
     dated 22nd September last, His Honor en 
     
     dorsed the opinion of Messrs. McLeod and 
     
     Hodgson, and stated, at great length, the 
     
     reasons which led him to the opinion that 
     
     the attempted resignation was inoperative, 
     
     and that it would be illegal to direct the 
     
     issue of a Writ of Election for the First 
     
     District of Prince County. This was anss 
     
     wered by a despatch dated 30th Septem. 
     
     ber, in which the Under Secretary of State, 
     
     Edward J. Langevin, promises that the sub-~ 
     
     ject “will receive early consideration.” 
     
     Will it be believed that, notwithstanding 
     
     this assurance, the Secretary of State has 
     
     never troubled himself about the matter 
     
     Five months have elapsed since 
     
     that despatch was indited, and not one line 
     
     has been written in fulfilment of the pros 
     
     mise which was given.

     consideration’ which was promised, we do 
     
     not fora moment believe. For if it had, 
     
     we can hardly imagine that they would

     ceedingly high, owing to the presumed risk | jn the dark, 2s to what decision they ar- 
     
    
   
   
    
     of loss on the part of the merchant. In 
     
     | addition to the common cod oil exported, 
     
     | a quantity of cod liver oil is manufactured. 
     
     |The best kind is made without boiling, by 
     
     | applying to the liyers a slight degree of 
     
     | heat and straining through thin flannel or 
     
     | similar texture. When carefully prepared 
     
     | it is quite pure, nearly inodorous, and of a 
     
     | crystaline transparency. 
     
    

    
     | The seal fishery, which ranks next in ims 
     
     portance to that of the cod, commences 
     
     about the Ist of March in each year, and 
     
     terminates in May. Of late the seal fish 
     
    

    
     ery has greatly declined. 
     
     ago about 400 vessels were annually en- 
     
     gaged in it; now not more than half the 
     
     number. Within the last few years screw 
     
     steamers have been employed with great 
     
     success, and there can be little doubt that 
     
     the fishery steamers will ere long be exclu 
     
     sively employed. 
     
     strongly built of wood, sheathed with iron

     the seals, which are generally found in the 
     
    
   
   
    
     These steamers are very 
     
    
   
   
    
     ice. Thus the steamers have a consider-~ 
     
    
   
   
    
     able advantage over sailing vessels, the lat- 
     
    
   
   
    
     passages in the ice fields, or remain at the 
     
    
   
   
    
     consists in being able to come close to the 
     
     spot where the men despatch the seals, 
     
     whereas, in reference to sailing vessels, the 
     
     seals are frequently killed at som» miles 
     
     from the ship, thereby entailing great labor 
     
     on the already hard-worked sealers, who 
     
     are already obliged to drag the carcases

     ing, &c., in anticipation of being paid by a 
     
     successful voyage. Some idea of the value 
     
     of the fishery may be gathered from the 
     
     fact that. in the spring of 1871, the steam» 
     
     ship Commodore brought in seals to the 
     
     sterling, one third of which, viz., £8,00) 
     
     was divided among the sealers say 200), 
     
     six weeks. 
     
     quantity of sealskins are annually exported, 
     
     the number in 1871 being nearly 500,000. 
     
     There are four kinds of seal, viz., the harp 
     
     seal, the most valuable of all; the hooded 
     
     seal, which has a hood it can draw over its | 
     
     head ; the square flipper, and the bay 
     
     seal, 
     
    

    
     In the month of June the

     of spawning. 
     
     various bays and harbors are so great that 
     
    
   
   
    
     each year

     The masses of them in the 
     
    
   
   
    
     two men with a small landing net will fill 
     
     a boat in a couple of hours. So little acs | 
     
     count is made of this delicious fish that it 
     
     is largely employed in manuring the field 
     
     and gardens. Naturalists name 
     
     lin salmon artlicus, 
     
    
   
   
    
     the cap- 
     
     Tue flavor of it, when 
     
     fresh, is delicious, and its size is about that 
     
     ofasardine. There is no doubt that, if 
     
     properly cured, the caplin might compete | 
     
     with either sardines or anchovies which are | 
     
     so profitable to the fishermen of the Medis 
     
     terranean. If merely pickled and dried, 
     
     it would be worth more than a dollar a 
     
     barrel; but no attention is paid to thi® 
     
     little fish, the supply of, which seems in. | 
     
     exhaustible. Herrings are found in large 
     
     quautities, and of the finest quality, on 
     
    
   
   
    
     dor herring enjoy a wide-spread reputas 
     
     tion. Tha chief seats of this fishery are at 
     
     St. Peter’s Bay, Fortune Bay, Bay of I- | 
     
     lands, and Donne Bay, In the Bay of Is 
     
     lands during the winter, holes are cut in 
     
     the ice,and the herrings taken in nets; 
     
     the fisheries last from December till April. 
     
     The salmon fishery is abundant, and the | 
     
     fish of excellent quality. In certain local 
     
     ities the fishery is large and coastanly in- 
     
     creasing. The method of taking the fish 
     
     is generally in nets. So plentiful is the | 
     
     supply of fresh salmon, during the season 
     
    

    
     in St. John’s, that it is often sold at four | 
     
     or five cents per pound. Owing to the 
     
    

    
     cupidity, selfishness and ignorance on the 
     
    

    
     part of the fishermen, the salmon fishery, 
     
    

    
     principally on the French shore, is slowly 
     
    

    
     but surely, becoming exterminated. In | 
     
     the bays fleets of nets are frequently laid 
     
    

    
     down—sometimes twenty, forty, and | 
     
     fifty at a time, and every inlet stopped ; |

     come to an end. Some of the river ob- 
     
     structions are generally removed before 
     
     the anticipated arrival of a man-of.war, only

     some active measures should at once be 
     
     taken by the Government to stop this 
     
     deplorable state offairs, before the salmon 
     
     fishery of Newfoundland becomes a thing

     as I had stipulated for no party, Mr. Secre-

     public men at the dying President's bed- 
     
     side, and haying remained with him until he 
     
     breathed his last, we fell into a very inter-

     of them giving his own narrative separately, 
     
     the usual discrepancies about details of | 
     
     time were observable. Then \r. Stanton | 
     
     told me a curions little story, which wil 
     
     form the remainder of this short letter

     Indeed, they were 
     
    
   
   
    
     council, at which he presided. 
     
    
   
   
    
     he was saying, and remarked, ‘Let us pros | 
     
     ceed to business, gentlemen.’ Mr. Stans 
     
     ton then noticed with great surprise, that 
     
     the President sat with an air of dignity in 
     
     his chair, instead of rolling about in the 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     custom was, and that instead of telling ir- 
     
     relevant or questionable stories, he was 
     
     grave and calm, and quite a different man. 
     
     Mr. Stanton, on leaving the council with

     The attorney-general replied, ‘We all saw | 
     
     that before you came in. 
     
    
   
   
    
     have attended for many a iong day, 
     
    
   
   
    
     While we were

     extraordinary is going to happen, and that 
     
     very soon.’ ’ To which the the attorneys 
     
     general had observed, “Something good,

     sat reflecting. Might one ask the nature 
     
     of this dream, sir? said the attorney-gen- 
     
     eral. ‘Well, replied the President, with- 
     
     out lifting his head or changing his attitude, 
     
     ‘Tam ona great, broad, rolling river, and 
     
     Iam in a boat—and I drift and I drift —but |

     face and looking round the tab'e as Mr 
     
    

    
     Stanton entered, let us proceed to business, j

     general said, as they walked on together, | 
     
     it would be curious to notice whether 
     
     anything ensued on this ; and they agreed
