There was quite a breeze blowing at the time, and ihe flames were rapidly carried to the buildivg in the rear ef the stotes, A panic prevailed and confisien prevented the fire- meu from doing what they otherwise could to stop the progress of the tire.

AnotwHerR Oxtp LanpMark Gons.—Mr. Thomas McGowan, an aged and highly es- tesmed citizen, the father of Sheriff Me- Gowan, died on the 7th Feb., after an illness of several weeks, at his residence near Barilett, Micklenburg County, Virginia. He was in his seventy-ninth year, and had lived in that county abont fifty years. tencrable in all his dealings, true in his friendships, and’faithful in all the relatien- ships of life, public and private, he was grently respected and beloved. He left the legacy of a good name te his family and his memory will long be cherished.

‘The gentleman referred to above was a cousin of Peter McGowan, Eaq., late City Clerk of Charlottetown, and Jolin McGow- an, Esq., late Sheriff of King’s Cewnty. —Ep. |

A man is under arrest in Toronto for con- ducting a swindling scheme through news- paper advertisements and the post office, Ad- vertising vacant situatiens of various kinds, persons who addressed his post office number in reply were in return asked by letter to send five dollars as a guarantee of good faith! The applicants as arule were too wise to be caught in that way, but the rogue himself was cap- tured while taking letters from the post office. His punishment, will be severe enough to de- ter others from attempting similar devices for robbing people. Making use of respeetable newspapers as unwitting instruments for swindling persons who can ill afferd to lese any money, is meaner by far than sueak- thieving, at the same time been akin tu the crime of forgery in its nature.

Your Rev.

at Dr. O'Brien’s ab. sence from the Island, and it is indeed to -be regretted that the Dr. is not here to to speak for himself. It may be fairly pre- ‘sumed, however, that he would hardly take the tronble to answer the precious com- munication, even were he athome, for the simple reason that it does not bear at all on the subject of his lecture, delivered in the city « few weeks since, and which was “The Early Stages of Christianity in Eng- land.” The reason why your Rey. corres- pondent is as silent as the grave on the real subject of Dr. O'Brien’s lecture is best known to himself,

Your Rev. Cerrespencent, as it appears, wished to give the public both sides ef the question, by cenying that St. Peter was

sishop of Rome, or that he was ever in

tome atall, As Dr. O'Brien had given the right side of the qnestion, hs, (your Rey. correspondent), no doubt considered ithis duty to give the wrong side. Of course, he goes on the principle that there are two sides to everything, a right one and a wrovg ene. He lays down his donble- false position in the following words : ‘* But f know that he (St. Peter), was not Bishop of Rome for twenty-five years before his death.” (The italics are your Rev. cer- respondent's.) ‘* And further, it appears to me doubtful whether he ever was Bishop ef Rome, er coven in Rome at all.”

The aweeping assertion that St. Peter was neverin Rome, might be summarily dismissed with the simple remark, that ne writer of any standing or pretentions te ordinary scholarship would venture such an assertion, [tis true, he advances quite a formidable array of scriptural texts te prove, as he fancies, his position; but how- ever innocent he may be ef the ordinary rules of Jogic, he must know the worthless- ness of negativearguments. He shouldknow at least, that from all the texts he can ad- vance, from Genesis to Revalations, he will not find ene to prove his positien, that St. Peter was never in Rome.

In referring to the first Epistle of St. Peter, Rev. Mr. Osborne says, without any qualification whatseever, that ‘‘ the Epistle was written from Babylon.” Now, it is no stretch of presumption to suppose that the eminent writers and Fathers, whe were almost coeveal with the Apostles, were more likely to know the place ‘from which Si. Peter wrote his Epistle than we, who live near the close of the nineteenth cen- tury. Eusebius, ene ef the earliest Chris- tian historians, referring to the words of St. Peter, in his first Epistle, chap. v.— ‘*The church that is in Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth yeu, and so doth my son Mark.” In referenee te this text, Husebius quotes Papias, whe wasa disciple of the Apostles, to shew that by Babylon, Peter meant Rome. In Lib. ii., Hist. EHecl., cap. xiv., Eusebius writes ; ‘‘ Tt appears that Peter makes mention of this mark in his first Epistle, which he is said to have written in Rome, which Epis- tle he shows indeed to have been written there, as he calls that city, by a figure of speech, Babylon.” St. Jerome, in his Cat- alage Scripterum KEcclesiasticornm, in Marco, writes: ‘St. Peter, in his first Episile, signifying Rome, under the figura- tive name Babylen, says: ‘‘ The church that is in Babylon,” &c., &c., as above. To the same purpose might be quoted Ter- tullian Lib. Ade. Gudaeos, St. Augustine de civitate Dei, c. xxii., and a hest of others.

it may here be asked what metive St. Peter had in calling Rome by the name ot Babylou. Early Christian writers assign motives that appear very reasenable. Among others, they remind us St. Peter had escaped from prison in a mest miracu- lous manner, in Jerusalem, some time pre- viously, and therefere he did not wish un- necessarily to expose either himself er his disciples at Rome to the fury of their Pa- gan persecutors, inte whose hands his Epis- tle might possibly fall. Those figurative expressions, still common among the Eastern people, were well under- stood, particularly in the mutual cer- respondence of ithe early Christians. St. John in the Apocalypse, chaps, 16th and 17th, speaks of ancient Reme as Babylon. It is also a notorieus fact that a class ef ranters of a certain school, apply literally to Christian Rome the words which the venerable exile of; Patmos applied figur- atively te ancient and, Pagan Reme. The use cf figurative language, at that time, waa so prevalent that it need not excite surprise that either Peter or John spoke of the Rome of their day in a figurative sense. Even Tacitus, the Pagan classical historian, describes Rome (annal xv., 44) as ‘‘urbs quo cuncta undique atrecva et pudenda confluenct.” Frem the feregoing and an additional and overwhelming force ef authorities that might be advanced, did space permit, it is evident that St. Peter, in his first epistle, chap. y., meant Rome, under the figurative name of Babylon ; therefore Peter wrote from Rome, therefore he was in Rome. But, besides these argu-

ments, which may perhaps be proneunced as indirect and far-fetched, positive and direct arguments to no end may be ad- vanced. When, indeed, we wish to estab- lish were historical-facts, we usually have recourse to unquestionable histerical re- cords, It is to be presumed that no one will attempt to callin question such athe ties as Eusebius, Hieronymus, Tertullian Irenrens, St. Cyprian, St. Angustine, Optatus, Milevitanus, and a hest of others of equal weight, when treat- ing of historical facts aimost coeval with their time. The testimeny of these un- questionable authorities’ Could be ad- vanced so as to de justice to subject, withont extending this letter *beyend reasonable limits. Afew speeimens may, however, be advanced. Si: Jerome, whom the Church, in her Liturgy, calls ‘‘the greaiest expounder ef the sacred writings)” thus records the fact of Peter's coming te Rome (in his Catal. Seript. Eccle, in P. “Simon Peter, after having pieached te those who were of the cireumcision, dispersed through Pontus, Galatia, Cappedecia, Asia and Bithynia, went to Reme in the second year of Claudius, to attack Simon Magus (ad expugnandum Simonem Magum) and thers held his See for twenty-five years, up to the last, that is the fourteenth year of Nere.” Optatus, Bishop of Milevi, in Northern Africa, in his writings contra par- meniam, says: ‘Shou knowest, and theu darest not deny, that at Rome, Peter es- tablished his Episcopal Chair, which he was the first to ocenpy, thus securing te all the blessings of perfect unity.”

Did space permit, [ might give, in addi- tien fo those ancient writers, quotations from English Protestant writers of the highest standing ; for it is sufficient to say that English Protestant authors of the highest literary eminence, and remarkable for their opposition te the supremacy of the Roman Sea, have both acknowledged and supported that Peter was Bishop of Rome. Among these might be quoted Rey. Dr. Cave, author 6f ™ Primitive Christian- ity,” ‘Lives of the Apostles and Mar- tyra,’ &., &c.; Rev. Dr. Pearson, author of ‘* Expesition of the Creed,” and other learned works; the celebrated Usher, ‘‘ De Ecelesiarum Christianarum successione et salu.” Te these might be added Whisten, Yeung, Blondel, &c., Ke. |

To the reader ef ‘learned leisure” | might recommend the fellowing first-class German writers ; Herbst, on the sojourn of Peter at Rome: Windischman, Vindicie Petrine ; Dellinger, Church History ; Alzeg,

in Rome: Stenglein, concerning Peter's twenty-fire years Hpiecopacy in Rome. As for the Greek, Syriac, Latin, Italian, French and Spanish writers that could be queted on the subject, their mere names would form «a pamphlet. Among modern Pretestant Ecclesiastical writers, it may be snfficient to observe that ne writer of any note pretends to deny the fact of Peter being Bishop of Rome.

As *I sat down to write a short commu- nication, and net a pamphlet, I must resist the temptation ef piling up more quota- tions which weuld be still stronger than those already advanced; but neither time nor space will permit. I will simply say, in conclusion, that the man who would say that St. Peter was never in Rome might undertake to prove with equal success that, fer instance, Governor Ready, Chief Jus- tice Stewart, Parson DesBrisay and Bishep McEachern were never in Prince Edward Island ; with this slight difference, how- ever, that he would find a wore formidable array of authorities in the former than in the latter case. But enough.

Were the Rey. Dr. O’Brien himself at home, itis very doubtful whether or not he would have deemed the foul puff of Saturday last worth noticing. Bo this as it may, when a mean advantage has been taken of a person’s absence, and a cowardly attack made npen him, the above hurried remarks are considered due to an absent friend, by Yours faithfully,

A Girw’s ENCOUNTER with A SHarnk,—A Sydney (N. S. W.) paper reports: An ex- traordinary adventure with a shark has taken place at Ceoranbeng. A little girl, aged thirteen, was bathing in a small bay near Dora Creek, Lake Macquarrie, in com- paratively shallew water, when a large shark suddenly seized her by one of the legs, dragging her under the water. A younger sister of the child, happening to be at hand, attacked the brute, compelling it te release its hold, and then assisted her aister toshore. The nature of the injury the child reesived indicated a narrow escape. The back tenden of one leg was completely severed, andthree deep teeth wounds were marked in her instep.
