‘ Bribe him—bribe him.’ whis cred Tim and Amelie together. Here was an a yes of crime to jump into. but I took the plunge.

At thb moment we heard the tram of feet. and Dan challenged; the usual formalities were ex- changed. dad a patrol came up and belted.

‘ New pull down that uglce big sail. and row heck and out at won. time, and ye’ll do't.’

We followed Dan's advice. and at last found ourselves clear of the Rock. half a mile out to sea. and running bravely before the wind. With a sense of security my injured feeling against Tim Immediately returned, aggravated by the fact that, bslbre Amalia. I could not pitch into him pvopssly.

We consoled our-wives t. not after all it was only ten o‘clock. that Ceyrasso could not leave the Rock till six or seven. and that his first search would be in the direction of Spain. and Africa quite a last re- source. ' But we must get on somehow.’ I said. ' We're manv miles flom Ceutn Point. and far to tho eastward. and if we don't round it before gun- fire. it will be a bad business. “'e must row; we can't wait for the wind.‘ I then had Romano and the crew unearthed. and set them down to the ours. and we crawled along elowlv and heav- ily. The hours went on; the sun b uzed down upon us. end the rowers got tired with the heat end unwonted exertion. and insisted on a rest. It was three o‘clock. and we were still a long way from Ceula. I reviewed the situation, um got an idea. ‘I’ll tell you what it is.‘ I said; ‘we must give u the attempt to round the Point;

Things were goin on very well. and we were all getting anchoorfu as ssible, when suddenly Ilmnano gave a cry of oy.

BOARD or TRADE.

Ar the adjourned meeting of the Charlottetown Board of Trade. which was held In hlnrket Ilell on Wednesday night last. Frederick de St. Croix Ilrccken. Est... hf. I‘. l’.. and W. llcnrd. Bop. were appointed delegates on behalf of the Board. to proceed to Port- land. Maine. to attend the Commercial Convention. wbleh opened In that place yesterday. They left In the steamer Princess of Wain on Friday night. The "on. Andrew A. licDoneld was subsequently added to the list. and started at the same time for the convention. The delegation could not be bettered as far as experience end competency are concerned. end we have every con- tldcncc that the members comprising It will advance. as fares It Is possible for gentlemen In their position to do, the commercial interests of the colony which they represent. We shall look for their report Willl much Interest, and give the same to our readers at as early 3 day as possible. Whilst on this subject. we may men. tlou that a Congressional committee. conslsl'ng of Messrs. Butler, Poland ard Beck. have been appointed to take Into consideration. and report upon Gen. nutler's reciprocity resolutions. to which no referred one or two numbers back.-—sald committee to report to the next session of Congress. which meets In September. A revenue cutter has been placed at the disposal of the committee, and It Is very likely that they will make their appearance In Charlottetown within the course of a few days. The committee will doubtlesst meet with that consideration end courtesy which their blgb posi- tion and the Importance of their mission demands from the Government and people of this colony. It Is no small compliment to one of the smallest of ller Majesty's North American Colonies. to have n delega- tion welt upon her In refirrence to free trade. from one ofthe most powerful and enlightened governments In the world. All these movements convince us that re- ciprocity In trade between these North American Colonies and the United States Is only equation of time. and that It will be very unwise on the part of the Dominion authorities or the Imperial Government to Interfere In any way with. or to thwart the movement which is now being made In that direction. We will not waste time In discussing the right of this Colony to make sny arrangement It planes with Its fisheries In order to bring about free trade; fbr. although our neigh- bors of the Dominion. for their own Interests. may have some doubts upon the point. there can be no questlon that It would be unfulr to this colony. and tyrannical In are Imperial Government to deny to a Province which has been robbed of Its public lends. the full benellt of these natural advantages which its position In the Gulf of at. Lawrence gives for a M short months In sum. mer. Thelelusticeeedtyrusnyeftbeat‘alr woeldbeail the more potent from the fact that neither the people of the provinces nor of Great Ilrlteln use those fisheries themselves. and. therefore. there can be no great reason why the Americans mm be forbidden thelr use. The defile the manger policy la the worst that eonldbe Wlemmthe fishery question. Ontlse opening of the luvlfitles. the Dominion Government obtained the sanction of the Imperial Government. to

* Id. b‘ on with Mic filvrard Island. a license fee o dolbre per ton upon all Amerlcnn vtqcls llhlll*“,‘lthlll the specified three marine miles oftleso she ‘ f mm as we can learn. not It dozen Easels b3“ u out “cow” to the present time. riot II II likely. that fbr the reminder of the season. the mlonlnl revenues will be much enhanch from this source. The fhct ls.thc Americans are determined uot to pay this large license fee. and the arrangement is either evaded for the. want of adequate menus to enforce It. or the Americans find the fishing quite as good beyond the three-mile line as wlthln It. Under those circumstances. It will be easily seen that If I'rlncc Ed- ward lslnnd can cllcctau arrangement. through these fisheries. by which free trade can be brought about. no rights will be sacrificed. and no Interest. either of the Dominion orofGreatllrltnln.w|ll be Invadcd. On the con- trary. the door to free trsde with all these Colonies will have been opened. and the only real source of trouble between the Imperial and Domlnloufloveruments. on the one part. and the Washington Government. on the other. will have been sallsfuctorlly and gracefully I'L- moved. The inoperative Iegislatlon of the Ilomlnluu and Island Governments on this question will have been turned Into the mutual advantage of ourselves and of our Republican neighbors. and harmony and goal feel- lng once more restored. We trust. therefore. that the mlsslon with whleb General llutler and his friends are charged. will In 1ct with approval here and In Canada. Every consideration prompts lts Ibvomble reception on

’our part. as lis rejection promises to lend to dIMcultles

and troubles not pleasant to contemplate. Should the negotiations terminate. fhvorably. as We hope and trust they will. Ilr. I. C. Ilell will be entitled to a due share of credit for having Initiated the matter. by introducing it to the notice of Gen. Butler. The promptness of the Island Government and of the Board of Trade In inking up the subject will also be duly appreciated. As to the effects of the proposed arrangement. It Is unnecessary to speak of them. The experience of ten years of free trade teaches every person capable of thinklnz. that recipro. city would be the building up of the colony; that It would admit us to all the advantages of Ibo American l'uion without having to hem- nny of Its burdens; that It would be a treaty of muity and good will between In. as also of pcculuury advantage; and. In fuel. that it would be In the Immense benellt of every class and in- tercst In the colony—Introducing American oillt‘fprlsr- and dollars to every man‘s door. We all. therefore. pray for so desirable a consummation as free trade will: the Americans.

“ LIBERTY AND LICENSE " AGAIN.

Is making the remarks which we did last week. In re— fercnce to the quriol's attack upon private lmllvhlunls. for thelr prlvnte opinions. we did not by any means ex- pect our contemporary to cry perruri. We have too much experience of the Patriot to suppose for an instant. that. however course or unnjstlllsblc his attacks rulth be. he would have the mnnlluess to acknowledge his error. There Is something approaching subllmlry In the Inor- dlnnte Opinion of their own perfection. which the Patriot folks entertain of themselves. They cannot err. They are infallible. The unctnousness with which they view themselves and their superiority over all other mortals. their sclf-sufllclcncy. and the lngenuous way In which they flatter themselves. are absolutely refreshing: at times.

Now. we have, not at all changed our nplnions In refer. once to Col. Gray's conduct at the St. Iluusian'e College Examinatlon. nor are we golng to argue the matter over eanlu with the Palms. nor contemporary cannot deny the fame of our arguments—Hist Col. Gray was a private gentleman. that In rgiving; expression to the opinions which he did. he was meter spenklng his own private senlements: that be made no attack upon any political. religious or corporate body. and compromised no inter- est wlth whleh he had hitherto been ludentlfled. lle did not oiiiclously put forward his opinions for the sake of having them canvassed. and the fact of their having found their way Into the press. was no fault of his. We sent in reporter to the examination to give a hill and un- tbentlc account of the procemllngs. and we published the report with no Ides of "Influencing " public opinion. Col. Gray was not aware. of the existence of the report, until he, saw It In print. We adopted the same course with reference to the Prince of Wales College. the Cham- ber of Commerce. and other organized bodies." llcfhrc. therefore. the Pruitt->1 attacked Col. Gray. It should first have ascertained that his opinions Were put forth at his suggestion with the view of Influencing publlc opinion. and that they were secureler reported. Instead of this. however. he quarks him with Impotent fury on political and religious grounds. wbercln we nloue are to blame for the prominence given to his remarks. We. don‘t think the Patriot will gala much by such Ill-advised attacks, and we feel very sure that the Colonel can afford In de- splse them; nor will be be deterred In the least from pur- suing the even tenor of his way because the. Burial wants to manufacture a little political capital at his ex- pense. Our contemporary. with that peculiar modesty and regard for truth which characterizes blm. insinuates that whilst M. In the beat of polltlesl and religious dis- cussions. never courser attacked the character of fe- males. wcdld so In the case of Normal School students. We deny the soft Impeachment. We never made any statement not amply borne out by sworn testimony In our possession. Moreover. the statements were made because provoked by the gross attacks upon female cha- racter by our contemporary, and he must be blessed with a memory conveniently forgetful. or he would remember. that for one of those very attacks. be received n. polite note from a gentleman to substantiate them as a man of honor and courage would have done. llls cbivnlrlc nature Induced him to refer the matter to the Police Court for arbitramcnt. " Put tbnt In your smoke and pipe It.” The less said about bye-gonna the better. We as- sure our contemporary. that he won’t gain much by dig- ging up the hatchet long buried In the past.

Tm: entertainments of Gen. Tom Thumb and party

two days In which the General and his friends were on exhibition. Market llnll was crowded to excess. Indeed! many persons had to go away. being unable to gain ad- mission. It was astonishing to see the number of country people from a distance of upwards of fifty miles from Charlottetown. who bad "business" In town on Thursday and Frldny of last week. f If course they didn't want to see Tom Thumb and with. and Commo— dore Nutt and Miss Iflnulc Warren! Not they. I’loun folk. too. whose scruples of conscience rejected negro mlnatrelsy and theatrical performances. eagerly rushed to Market Hall to patronlse the Tom Thumb exhibitions. and to admire the comicalltles of Commodore Natl. This Is an eccentrlcltr In the moral nature of Charlotte. town lute which we have no right to in nlrc; but It Is one at the some time which is worthy of'hclng noticed. It Is estlmeted that from (Joule cm In specie have been taken from Charlottetown by Tom Thumb and his party. and we verny believe. from the fast—spreading fennent and excitement prdilnccd by their nscnce. that If they had stayed but a few davs longer. I e whole population of the colony would have poured In to see the curiosities. and the drain upon the “ circulating medium " would have been somewhat serious. The little party were received with Immense fiver. and. as far as we can learn. they have been highl pleased with their vlslt to Charlottetown. Now that ev have gone. the town In relapsing Into lts normal condition. to be stirred up anoint we presume. b the arrival oft-ho renowned General flutter and his c elegates, who are
