For more than three years the Administration have based their claims to office upon this measure, suppurted by the No-Popery bowl When the Commission was proposed by Col.

THE usual Summer Examination of the pupils at the Conveut of Netre Dame took place on Wednesday last. The attendance was large, in- cluding persons of all denominations, and a con- siderable number from distant parts of the Island. The decorations of the ground in the rear of the Convent, where the examination was held, evinced much taste and ingeuuity. There could be only one opiuion as to the manner in which the fair pupils acquitted themselves. They were examined in every branch of knowledge usually taught at female seminaries, and their answers to the ques- tions put were prompt and satisfactory. To Music, Embroidery and Drawing, there were many proofs of a high order of talent; in Dra- matic dialogue every auditor was charmed with the exquisite taste, skill, and power of memory On the whole, the examination contrasted faverably with displayed by some of the young ladies. former examinations at this admirable instita- tion, sustaining the high reputation which it enjoys a8 & place for the education of young ladies, inferior to other Seminary ot the kind in the Lower Colonies.

W. H. Pope, Colonial Seeretary of Prince Edward Island, and James Duoean and Daniel Davies, Esquires, of Charlottetown, were here several days last week perfecting arrangements relative te the construction of a steamer to ply next smin- mer on the route between Shediac, Charlottetown and Pictou or Point Beale, N.S. We understand that a Company has been formed who purpose placing too Steamers on that line next year, so as to make triweekly trips between the ports named. Messrs. Stuckhouse & MeLauchlan of Carleton have coutracted tor the building of a new steamer for this Company, to be some ten teet longer than our steamer “ Emperor,” and quite as well equipp- ed for passenger accommodation. Messrs. Flem- ing & Humbert will furnish the engines and cast- ings. Not a lithe of the credit vf originating this enterprise is due to William M. Smith, Esq Steamboat Inspector, of this City.

Pope, Dunean and Davies left for home yesterday morn- ing.—If the Island people will now go to work aud erect a first class Hetel. in Charlottetown, with improved steam communication, they might next year calculate upon a large influx of visitors from the other Provinces and the States. —- St. John Morning Telegraph.

It was the part against which we ourselves entertained the very strongest ob- jections; first, on the ground that it would be extremely slow in its operation ; secondly, that in the very few cases where the scheme might be adopted, it would involve the tenant and landlord in great expense, and could not fail to give rise to very angry feelings between both; and thirdly, that owing to the superior influence, wealth and position of the landlord, the matters submitted to arbitration would, in nine cases out of ten, be de- cided in favour of the proprietor, and perhaps to the ruin of the tenant. In short, the arbitration was, to our view, in every sense impracticable; and the Colonial Minister takes not merely this view of the measure, but his Grace elearly inti- mates that the proposal of arbitration cases by the Land Commissioners was a vivlation of “ the plainest principle of law and commen sense,’ in so far a8 it was intended to transter to others the completion of a work especially designed tor the Commissioners themselves. [un fact, as the Crown Law Officers say, it was neither “ literally nor substantially within the scope of the Commis- sivners’ authority” to recommend an arbitration. The Colonial Secretary ot this Island—profes- sing te have great sympathy for the tenantry whom he has laboured all his life to injure by the Most oppressive proceedings ~ mourns patheti- eally ever the loss of the Award. He says, “ We believe that in the matter of the Award, the farth | and honour of the Crown have been violated— that the Legislature has been trifled with—and that the people have been grossly wronged.” These are brave words to come from an Executive Councillor—a person who, above all others, should be exceedingly jealous of the honour and good faith of the Crown, and the very last to impugn them. If such words escaped from our pen, we should be at once accused of high treason, and the Lieut. Governor would, ao doubt, direct Mr. Attorney General Palmer to prosecute us for the offence. But Mr. Dundas, we suppose, considers it “ im- practicable" to rebuke an outrage upon the erown of bie Royal Mistress when he finds that the offender is one who sits under the mahogany of Government House, and pulls the wires by which the puppets of that establishment theretore, earnestly en- treat you not to mar We knew | such prospeeta.” — G.

G. Beer, M.L.C. Henry Haszard, Exq., W. E. Dawson, £3q., James 1. Mason, Esq., Alired Phillips, Esq., J. A. Darey, Esq, Owen Connelly, Esq George Davies, Esq., eptais BANK is formed to supply an addition to the money ciren)taion of this Is- Jand, the want of which has for some time been sensibly felt. tis the natural consequence of au inereasing population, an expanding Commerce, aud of the enlarged production of an industrious energetic people. lueredible as it ma until Ul © year 1855, there never was a Bank established in this Island; in that year, under the pressure of a similar necessity, the Buuk of Prince Edward Island wae called iuto existence; and while it has facilitated the trade and commercial business rally, it has largely contributed to the deve - ment of the resources of the Country, and its resu are supposed to have i to the Share- holders, having for some years past paid them an annual dividend of ten per ceut. The increase in the population since the year 1855, the large addition to our trade aud commerce the increasing Revenue, the breadth of arable Jund cleared oh cominennd, the wing enaee St farming stock, the augmented ex xrain ayricultural dnuee of afl hook Eoon rendered further Banking operations in this Islaud absolutely necessary . It appears from the census of 1860, and from other authentic sources, that in the preceding five years the increase in the popuiation of this was 9 361 persone; increase of breadth of land under cnaltivation 45,000 acres ; imerease iu the quantity of roots and cereals exported 842,000 bush. um the year 1861, the Imports amounted to £314,902, currency ; the Exports, including shipping, to £343,421, currency, (showing 4 balance of trade in favour of the Island.) That in twenty years, trom 1839 to 1859, the revenue more than doubled itself, the tivures being, in i839 £17,011; in 1859 £41,000, Whilst to carry on this additional trade, the pub- lie Banking accommodation ap to 1856 was pil, and since that time it has never exceeded £92,000 per annum, or about thirteen shillings per Lead for Ube population, a sum so «mall as to be almoet iered)- ble; while the a accommodation of the neivhbouriug Provinee of New Branewick, it a believed, amounts to thirty shillings per . The effect of the large additions above referred to, has been an increasing annual demand for Dis- count, and for a larger awount of Circulation or Floating Capital; bat ae the Bank of Prince Ed- ward Istand did uot provide this, the Pubjie in their necessity were driven to the private dixeoun, ter for accoumudation, at very heavy rates, and it has been estimated that at these rates a sau nearly equal to the Capital of the proposed Bauk is an- uually discounted. Deeply impressed with the importance of thie evil, and feeling that there is in this Teland ay ample field for the secure and profitable action of a second Bunk, the promoters have set on foot the proposed Estzbijshment; and in submitting this prospectiis to the Vorsign us wel) ne Jeland Cupi- talists, as a safe and profitable investineat, they bey wo refer to the Act of Incorporation of the Bank, now before the Legislatore, and te parts of it especially intended for the security of Shareholders and the publie generally, namely Section 18th, whereby Stockholders are dee wrsonully liable for redemption of all Bills issued c the Corporation, aud all debts dve thereby im sroportion to the Stock they respectively held; Dut no Stockholder shal} be able for any sum ex- cooling twihee Ue aunt of bie Sioek, jy additiog to the Stock held by him.
