Mr. Ilinclts has in- troduced u resolutions for an address to the Crown on the subject ofthe secularization of the Clergy Reserves. and informing ller Majesty, that if the wishes of the Canadian Parliament are not complied with, ‘the refusal (oftlie Ilonie Govoriinieut) would be viewed as an invasion of the constitutional rights of the Colonials, and would lead to wide and deep-spread dissatisfaction among ller Majesty's subjects." Mr. Cauchou, M. P. P. for Montrnoreiici, who may be consider- ed as the organ ofthe Roman Catholic Clergy. is strongly opposed to the desire to take from the Home Government, all coiitrou over the Clergy Reserves. and rest it entirely in the Provincial Legis- lature. Besides his speeches in the Assembly. the articles in his paper are strongly in favour of the Church of England. On Monday last, ‘. highly important discussion took place on the commercial prospectsof the Colon . Mr. Merritt moved an s - dress to her Majesty, pt-s ing for e imposition of duties on the agricultural. mineral. and forest produce of all nations which con- tinue to impose duties on the like products of Great Ilrimin or Ca- nada. Though some members, who do not appear to realize the exact state at home. were sanguine enough to express a ope of a return to colonial protection. the llouse generally coincided with Mr. Ilincks in ileeming the address simply useless. 'l‘he Inspector General suggested t closing of the I'roviiicial canals to American vessels. as a far more likely method of obtaining reciprocity: mid while he forestalled the opposition by acknowledging the (Il:n.tld!- faction such a policy would excite, and gave no distinct pledge either way, the tenor of his remarks was such as to render it not unlikely that the Cabinet will ultimately resort to that course, as the only coercive measure within their reach. There is little doubt, that the cries of Oswr-go, Ogdsnsburg, the other western parts, and the railivnys would arouse Congress from its in itlbrotice; mid taken in conjunction with the amicable settlienii-nt ofllic fishery dis- pntt-, might lead to the granting of this lozig-wished for boon. If Congress persisted in refusing reciprocity, the suggestion of the comfort either of living or apparel, and who, when the unfavourable season arrives, must depend on credit obtained from the merchant, on the pledge ot the next year's catch. And this goes on from year to year arr season to season: sortie take advantage ‘of a years luck, and relieve themselves from the gripe of their creditor, but they are -few in comparison, and thus it happens that while those who pupply the fishermen get rich, they themselves are always poor. The agricultu- rist is subject to the same vicissitudes, but. with this ditl'ei-encc, that ifone article of roduce fail, another is improved perhaps, and at ul events, every _uct‘6 reclaimed from the forest, is permanent capital laid up for somebody, and is an addition to the common_stocl_t. Look to the persons engaged in ship-building in this Island, for the last thirty or forty years. How many oftlicm have increased the general stock ofwc-.tltl_i, and to what amount ?--Whatever has been made is centered in Charlottetown, where there are a few men who are comparatively rich, whose money hits been acquired by supplying ship builders, but have the persons whose time and labour have been expended In the construction ofthcse vessels benefitted themselves in an equal ratio P No ! Where one line been successful, an hundred have failed, some totally, some partially, all of whom will confess that if the ‘same capital--the same energy—-the same determination to get on, had been displayed in agricultural. pursuits, they would at this day have been in possession of ex- tcnsivc and highly productive farms. The returns for the cultivation of the soil are slow and gradual, but they are on the whole sure, and all that is wanting to raise P. E. Island to the station she is destined to fill, is to supply that capital to the operations of the agri- culturist which will become permanently fixed, yielding a fair but moderate increase, and enabling the holders to bring up a healthy, vigorous and sturdy popultlllml. who may continue their labours until not an acre is lefl that does not yield its due proportion of agricultural wealth. In the mean time let us encourage toreign cu- pitul and foreign fishermen, by so doing, we shall find a market for our surplus produce and procut-c_wlmt fish we want, at less cost, and at less risk of capital, than we would be able to do, if we were to spend some thou- sands in the lottery of fishing. If by admitting_the Americans to a participation of the Mackerel fishing, we can induce them to open the towns and harbors on their coast, to our produce, duty free, both will be the gainers, and the foundation will be laid ofn commerce, which will be ever increasing, and which, based as for us the Island is concerned, on the produce of_ its soil, cannot fail of being of the highest bcncfil.

Tut: Editor ofthe Royal Gazelle has again raised his ridiculous cry of “Obstructiveness,” because we have ventured an opinion, that the Island will not for the next hnlfcentury, be able to spare enough hands from her surplus population, to prosecute the Fishery around her coast, on an extensive scale. As we made this nvownl of what is with us a settled conviction, we are not at all unwilling to disclose the grounds, on which that conviction has been founded. Every individual possessed of capital, seeks to lay that capital out to the best advantage, but in so doing, he cotisiders only his own peculiar benefit, it never forms it part of his calculations, as to how the community will be affected, either mediately or immediately, now, or at a more remote period. Nor is it at all necessary, that he should 0 so. The maxim ofcommerce, that each man should attend to his own interest, is productive ofthe best results; and every man who expcndil ~his capital or his labour to ii. purpose beneficial to himself, generally speaking, benefits the commitnity in which he lives. But as there are men modes, in which the expenditure of capital may be more profitable to individuals than others, so there are cor-respon _ent modes, by which that expenditure by those individuals, may rendered more beneficial to the community than others. A Merchant for example may cotne into a countr , with a large quantity of merchandise which he se Is at a reasonable rate, but with the roceeds of which he immediately departs to another p see: now, though the buyers are to a certain degree benefitted by his coming, that benefit is ep emerul, and leaves little or no trace behind it, b which it ‘may be reco nized. On the contrary, another with equal cupita , pursue the same course, but instead of-cu ing them away, invest the profits of his trade, in buil ing whurves, warehouses or mansions, or in leading to others, who after payin him a reason- able tnterest, are enab to me e a profit to themselves, be not only raises a beneficial capital for hims_elf', but adds to the capital of the nation, state or province, of WIIYCII he may bearesident. Need we ask which is the most valuable man to the commitnity, or which ought most to be encouraged ? Now the question of advantage, between the expenditure of capital upon fisheries or upon agriculture, rests u on the same pri'iciple—which is most for the benefit of the community at large P When the fisherman is the sole pro rietor of his boat, lines and nets, the profits both of cup tal and labour centre in himself, and if he be prosperous and prudent, he may make not only a living, at accumulate a capital, not we think a very extensive one; for in the first place, his trade or business is precarious, a species of lottery, on the whole a gainful trade, but to make it so, the gains of one year must be carefully boarded, in order to meet the probable losses of the next or subsdquent ones; but how few are thus sag‘ and how many are there,‘ who trusting to goodlu .oousuiuetbepressstgateiainci-saga -. "‘s Trade Convention at Quebec might also be acted upon, and dif~ , at present, we reiterate ottr former opinion, tlint_wc have neither capital or men to spare from the more tin- portant, because more certain, pursuits of agriculture. We are of the some opinion with Capt. Campbell, whose letter on the subject, we now publish, that these fisheries are a mine of wealth to the inhabitants, and it is a question of policy and self-interest merely, whe- ther we work the mine ourselves with our own capital, or suffer otheb to do so, on being paid an_cquiviilcnt or more than an equivalent in free trade, with the United States. It is u quiistion of the greatest importance, and merits corresponding attcqtion. II. M. S. S. H D:v.is-ratios,” Clnrloitetown, Svpt. I6, I852.
