SATURDAY., MAJ :. 1854.

BT the LookoHt and the Smyrniofe we have advices from
SIN Francisco TO the 18th Of April. The market for our island
products, especially sugar, has improved. The san Francisco
Rsfreries having advanced the price Of their refined, a cores
ponding advance has been obtained on raw. We observe sales
OF several lots Of Island sugars, but on private terms, which
probably cover agents rates In Europe as also in Eastern
Atlantic markets the price OF sugar have improved and the rise
promises to be permanent, > It is based on causes which are
not speculative In the s. r Bulletin, we find the following.
The late rise in the price OF Refined Sugars in the yex York

OUR HARBoR.-The arrival of such a large ship
as the Suitcase large that she is unable to enter the
harbor, naturally sets people to thinking and regret
ting that she is unable to enter the port. We under
stand that her officers are very anxious to enter, and
to remain here three or four weeks, to reft and
recruit the ship, and it is stated that if she came in
she would spend at least 100000 We are not
among those who think that our harbor entrance
cannot be improved, but we believe it practicable to
deepen it so that vessels of the largest draft can freely
enter it. And we shall so think until we see the con-
trary demonstrated by actual experiment. After
all that has been said on this subject in years past, there is no
need Of repeating the advantages. That the work can be done,
and ought to be done admits of no doubt. The proper way is
for government to call for tenders and have the job done by con-
tract. 1t might cost fifty thousand. or a hundred and fifty
thousand but whatever its costs, it should be done. If a pub
lie debt is justifable for any reason, for none can it be more
than for expenditures to improve the chief port and render it
available for a larger commerce.

Property Qualification.

To the Editor Of the Commercial AdUsTtiser:
SIR In your paper of last week 1 notice with
surprise the sentiment, that a property qualification
g some kind applicable TO Representatives. as tceH
as TO rioters, has become q necessity.
For such an opinion l can see no reason; on the
contrary l cannot believe that the Representative
elect. or either Of the candidates at the late election
would be any better qualified to do their duty as
law makers, were they in possession Of any amount
of wealth. I do not believe that money makes the
man in any sense to the effect that money qualities
u man for a legislator or even a voter.
The doctrine Of property qualification. has in
former ages been a doctrine Of Europe, where the
aris,Ocracy have ruled by right of birth and proper.
ty, bat is fast being exploded, or superseded by the
doctrine that all men are born free and equal
equal az to political and civil rights. Even Louis
Napoleon, when he wished to become Emperor of
France, was obliged to submit the question to the
people on the principle Of universal suffrage, and
the people were called on to vote without enquiring
what amount of property the candidate was worth.
In fact lie was so very poor that he could not have
been q candidate or voter under the property quali6-
cation. In Mexico also, We are to have q vote of the
people for the choice of an Emperor. who by all
accounts, IS hard up for money.
There is a very good reason why all men should
vote. a reason well understood in some parts of the
world, viz, that Kings rule and Governments exist,
not only by the grace Of God, but by the will of the
people; ergo, poor people can fight for their rights
as well the rich. have done so and may probably do
it again hereafter. And since the majority in most
countries have very little property, it is not thought
prudent to disfranchise them on that account.
Such is fast becoming the sentiment of the civil
lied world, and 1 hope We shall not 90 back towards
the feudal system at this day, by any such move
ment as the property qualification.
At the late election the difficulty was to find pro-
perty qualified men who would be willing to lay
aside their business to serve in the Legislature for
the $500 a day, to which the House Of Mobiles in
sisted on restricting the pay of members. One
gentleman, MIR. III. A. 2. Carter, was nominated and
brought forward in the RuohOa, and another, Mr.
James /. Dowsett, was repeatedly urged to allow him
self to stand as n candidate, and both these gentlemen
declined the honor, and no suitable foreigner being
available, none but native candidates were proposed.
1t was a little curious to see the position taken by
the community at the late election. Instead OF q
property qualification or a political, the question
subsidized into n religious question.
The Protestant or American candidate had. ....-.....1 39 votes
The homan Catholic or French candidate. .366 I"
The Reformed Catholic or English candidate. .........365 "

In view of all the facts in this case-sorry TO
differ from such high authority counsel to let well
enough alone-at least not 10 do anything rash. And
