The Bangor Wing, after quoting from our
recent article on the marriage of the Princess
Louise and her generous allowance from the
public treasury, adds:
We had supposed that as the affair was
love sch, and especially as the marriage
was direct concession to the liberal senti-
ments OF the age, it might justly be regarded
ss pleasant episode in the history of those
royal marriages which have so often been
contaminated without regard to affection or
character What has been done by this young
Eirl-who is not TO blame for being born a
frincess-to inclte our contemporary to offer
her such bridal greetng9 Will the PRESS
'rise to xplain? ?"
Our censures were not directed, the WhSg
will observe, to the Princess or her husband.
The waving of traditional custom in this case
out OF Difference to reason and "the best feel.
ings OF our nature" is certainly to be com
nended. 1t is giving tie bride dowry OF
100000, besides an annuity of $50 O00-tak-

from the poor Of all ages and both sexes who
are left without mental or moral Instruction.
it's this that makes "the Guelph girls mar
rage" barbarous. We will make any conces-
sions as to ameliorating circumstances that
the Wing may desire, but these circumstances
cannot change the inherent wickedness of
transaction that amounts to full recognition
aud reaffirmation of the doctrine that the
many exist for the benefit of the few. If it
should be found that the cannibals of Central
Africa, in a sudden paroxysm of sentimental
ty and moral activity, had decreed that here
after all the authropophagi should content
themselves with eating prisoners of war. and
that roast missionary should no longer be
recognized as legitimate article of diet, the
whole world would applaud. This circum.
stance would be regarded as evidence that
there were some good influences at work
among the man-eaters, but we do not suppose
that 1t would bs regarded as conclusive as to
the rightfulness OF devouring human flesh.

EAsTER-The Lenten season is fast drawing
to close and on Sunday, the 9Th prox-, tne
great feast.day of the church, Easter, Will
be appropriately celebrated. Of late years
the observance of the day has not been con-.
fined to the Romish and Episcopal churches;
the liberal sects have chosen to decorate their
houses of worship with rare flowers, the en-
blen.s of a renewed life, and with music and
sermons appropriate TO the occasion welcome
the resurrection of the Saviour. To such
lengths has this practice been carried that the
different churches vie with each other to see
which can excel in the variety and excellence
of its floral decorations, SO that in several
Gases the sacred edifces resemble conservato-
ries rather than houses of worship. 1t is true
that there lie scriptural precedent in the case
of the woman who broke the alabaster box of
costly ointment aud was encouraged therefor
by the Saviour who rebuked the man who asked
why the money it cost was not given to the
| poor, yet it seems to us that if instead of SO
| much outlay of money a simple bouquet was
placed on the pulpit and the rest of the con-
tribution devoted to the fraternity" the SIN
| dependent Aid Society" and ether charitable
organizations, the Lord would be as well
pleased and a great deal more good result
tberefrom, while the jealousies and heart
burnings between churches would be done
away With. Why would it not be we'll to
think Of this matter seriously this year.

Editor p. C. Advertiser:

Editor T. C. Advertiser:
DEAR STR:-Allow me to inquire through the col
umns of your paper whether there is any watch
man on duty now 90 nights" at the Bell Tower,
erected some time since for the benefit of the COM
munity? The light from the ~incipient confagra-
ton at Mr.. TbompsOn's blacksmith shop, on Tues
day evening, must have been distinctly visible to
any one "perched up aloft " in the tower. and yet
no alarm was given. Last week a native house
burned down at PaIama, but for some reason the
fire bell was silent.
The Bell Tower is. theoretically, a good thing +;
possibly. from an artistic point of view, possessing
the negative merit of not being hideous and, prac-
tically, might be of use if the Department would
put a clock in it, with one hammer to strike the
hour on the bell, and another to call the attention
of the attendant whenever the time came TO wind it
up. AS it is, judging from the experience of the
last fortnight, We might as well be without it.

VALPARAISO, CHILE, June Sd, 1871.
Special Correspondence Of Commercial Advertiser.
The United States sloop-of-war jamestown, Com
mander Bancroft Gherardi, sailed from this port this
morning for San Francisco via Honolulu. The
jamestown has orders to look for and decide upon
the existence and position of a number of reported
reefs and islands lying between the equator and 24o
north latitude, which will probably delay her arrival
in Honolulu until about the 10th of August. Should
she arrive August 18th, it will be an exact coinci-
dence with her arrival from Micronesia last year.
Her officers have been somewhat changed since her
last visit to the islands. Com. Truxton and Mr.. L.
A. Morris had their connection with the ship dis
solved upon her arrival at Callao Surgeon L. d.

The election Of a President for five years is to come

manifested in regard to the matter than has been
seen for twenty years. The rival candidates are, on
the part of the Government, Senior Errazuriz, and
of the Liberals Senior Urmeneta, a very excellent
man, of much experience and great wealth. Senior
Urmeneta having lived thirteen years in the United
States, and studied at a Providence school, is more
than ordinarily qualified for the post for which he
has been nominated. Senior Errazuriz is backed by
the Jesuits, a powerful faction here.

The Fills.

Our readers may remember that we gave an
account some time since Of a memorial, addressed
by the " Intercolonial Conference Of Australia 30
the Home Government, in favor OF the establish
ment of a British Protectorate over the Fiji Is
lands. The reply Of Lord Kimberley, Secretary
of State for the Colonies, is now published, and
the Sydney Empire of June 30, in commenting
thereon remarks as follows
The annexation Of Fiji question has cropped up
again, and Lord Kimberley has not settled the diff
Guilty, although he has pronounced the ultimatum Of
his Government with respect 10 the establishment of
q British protectorate over the Fits. Beyond aiding
and assisting the British consul as far as " may be in
their power,'' which means as far as may be consid-
cred convenient and polite, her Majesty's Govern
ment cannot interfere. The result is that the Euro
pean residents in Fiji are for the present left TO them
selves, TO form, as they best can, a government 10 suit
them. Will any other nation take Fiji under protec-
ton, or annex these isles Of the sea? is a question
that can only be answered by time. America does
not want q position in the South Seas, inasmuch as
she has already territory enough and to spare, 30
much 80, that she could locate within her ample do
main almost the entire population Of Europe. Rus
STA can scarcely have any wish for these islands, al
though it is just possible she may yet establish her
rule in New Guinea, and, Of the remaining European
nations, who could NEEDLE in the matter, the only one
likely TO interfere is Germany. Count Bismarck may
deny all intentions of such interference, but those
who know how diplomats Of the present day cult
vate the science Of saying what they dom mean, will
place but slight dependence upon any such denial.
The dominions Of King Thakombau lie at the disposal
of any power strong enough to take them. The small
question Of right" as opposed TO might would
be speedily settled at the point Of the bayonet. In
this enlightened and highly civilized age. the sword
cuts all the Gordian knots Of national morals, much
in the same fashion that the retractile claws and
canine teeth of a great carnivore dispose OF the right
of weaker animals to live. 1t may be that, IN the
case Of the Fits, the prize would not be worth the
cost and trouble Of getting, and keeping ii, in which
case our Fjian friends must just do the best they
can.
