It ap- peared from the advertisement that the electors of Charlottetown, Common and Royalty were called together for the pur- pose of hearing speeches by the Hon. J. C. Pope, Henry Longworth, Esq., and other influential gentlemen. He would merely remark that we have in the portfolio of Minister of Marine and Fisheries the first fruit of the great victory gained on the 17th of Sentember. We have now a Minister of our own, who will be able to represent our interests in the Dominion Cabinet. If he (Mr. Haviland) had been called upon to select the portfolio for this sea-girt Isle of ours, he would unhesitatingly have selected the one obtained by Mr. Pope. LONGWORTH S SPEECH.

Dodd & Rogers. Mr. Dodd is lauded to the skies as a respectable man, but Mr. Longworth is just as respectable as Mr. Dodd. Mr. Longworth’s name is not connected with jobbery, and he is not per- sonally interested in the continuance In power of an obnoxious Government. The Government has been in power but two years and everything is in confusion. Everything they have touched has given offence to the people. With $40,000 lying idle in the banks— part of it drawing no in- terest at ail—-they must needs pass an Assessment Law for the purpose o7 raising €35,000—which, with proper economy, they did not require to spend. In realizing this $35,000 by means of the expensive ma- chinery they employ for the purpose, they spent about $16,000—all of which might im these hard times have been advantageously left in the pockets of the people if the Gov- ernment had but drawn from the bank the money they had lying idje there. If the electors of Charlottetown are satisfied with this mode of advancing the interests of the Henry Lenoworra, Esq., sail every man in the community has a duty to per-; form ; and his appearance in the character of a candidate for a seat in the Legislative Council he considered a matter of duty. He never had a high epmion of the Legis- lative Council. He »ever thought it much country they will sustain the Government by voting for Mr. Dodd. But was not the first to receive from the Gov- wnment the offer of the office he now holds ernment the offer of the office he now hoics and a seat in the Cabinet. Before they ap- plied to him they called upon Mr. Nicholas Conroy of Tignish, Mr. Lanchlin McDonald, or any use. And he did not requisition largely signed hy influential Legislative Council electors. He felt, now the necessity for economy is apparent, that the Legislative Council which never has,} Under existing circumstances he did for the last twenty years, been of any|not think the Legislative Council earthly benefit, should be abolished. He| necessary to this Province. But he was knew that the present Local Government has lost—as it is unworthy—-the confidence of the people. And, in response to the wishes of his fellow-citizens, in order to assist in abolishing the useless and expen- aive Legislative Council, and in order to complete the overthrow of an obnoxious Government, he consented to be the Liberal Conservative caudidate on this occasion. Nothing would, in his opinion, so well bear curtailment as the unduly large, unwieldy and expensive legislative bodies of this Province. It has been said that the Legis- lative Council is a check on the popular branch. But it is not—it has not been— any such thing. It is, perhaps, a slight ob- struction tu good legislation; but it is, cer- tainly,—as shown by its record—no check upon bad legislation. And what is the use of giving to property holders two votes and to non-property holders only one vote—as proposed by the Government? We have no large floating population, no large manu- facturing towns as other countries have. Our non-property holders are, for the most part, the farmers’ sons—the young men who will, bye and bye, take their fathers’ places—who are, therefore, just as deeply interested in the prosperity and good gov- ernment of the Province as their fathers are: and who have advantages for receiving education and fitting themselves to use the franchise intelligently and well which their fathers did not possess. In his (Mr. Long- worth’s) opinion the franchise should be left just as it is—except, perhaps, in the case of immigrants, whoshould be required to live here three years before being invested with the privilege. But, under the present Admin- istration, the Government is ,not a Govern- ment of the electors at all. It is a Govern- ment of a very small minority. It is noto- rious that Mr. Davies and his colleagues have lost the confidence of the people. Mr. Dodd is a respectable man, but uo person can admire him in his present position as the upholder—the rescuer for a time—of a Government thoroughly obnoxious to the great majority of the people at large. The Jovernment would have fallen long ago had it not been for Mr. Dodd. It is now two or three months since he accepted office ; and he pretends that this election is only the regular Legislative Council Election. His course in this respect will not raise him | in the estimation of the electors. If he be consider it a| Opposition and requested their alliance.

He thought some of the public oftices now in existence might be abolished and others amalgamated. The saving thus effected, together with the saving effected by the abolition of the Leg- islative Council, would he thought, amount If this were so, there would be no necessity for the Assessment Act, and it might be repealed. The un- popularity of the Government was signally shown by the recent elections for the Bel- fast District. The first was won by the Opposition after a contest, and the second the Government were obliged to let go by de- fault, as was yesterday shown by the election of Mr. Nicholson, a staunch sup- porter of the Opposition, by acclamation.

The meeting terminated with three cheers for Mr. Longworth. _—so © Mr. Tilly’s Visit to England. According to the Ottawa correspondent of the Toronto Globe, Mr. Tilley’s visit to England is on business of a financial char- acter in connection with the Canada Pacific Railway. While in England, says the same authority, Mr. Tilley will confer with the Colonial Secretary respecting the extent to which a protective policy in this country could go on without infringing on Imperial obligations or rights.

Priests of the Mission, Ru de Levres. tering the Lazarists, in 1844, he pronounced his vows in 1846, and returned to Ireland, where His Grace Archbishop Murray, of Dublin, ordained him priest in that city on the 7th December, 1846. His superiors ap- pointed him successively Director of the College, Superior of the Community of St. Vincent de Paul at Cork, and he discharged the duties of the latter oflice to 1857. At this period Bishop Browne of the diocese of the consistory of the 18th February, 1856 under the title of Bishop of Belle in Gilloly used the greatest efforts with the Holy See to decline the honors and the bur- then of the Episcopate, but he finally had to submit himself to the supremé will of the Sovereign Pontiff. His consecration took Mgr. Delaney, Bishop of Cork. The death of Bishop Browne, in December, 1858, made him titular Bishop of Elphin. Since that time, his diocese owes many important foundations to him; throngh his exertions, a diocesan seminary and a college have been established near Athlone; a large number of parish churches erected, restored, or en- larged, and convents of the Sisters of Pity founded in several localities. Education has been one of the chief objects of his episcopal vigilance. Besides many primary schools, he invited to Sligo, his episcopal seat, the Minor Brothers of Mary, and en- trusted two schools to their management. This was the first establishment of this Or- der founded in Ireland. The foundation of anormal school for female teachers and various industrial schools for young girls at- test how much the prelate has at heart the interest of Christian instruction. His zeal has also extended to the poor, for whom he has established several orphan asylums. In fine, he has begun, the erection in Sligo, upon a vast scale, of a Cathedral in the Byzantine style.
