perhaps not a popular one, and yet if we cannot’

our laws into execution we would relapse into a!

de ile state of society, We have been reproach-|
ed with bringing troops here to carry the laws into
effect, and we have been asked why we did not resort

to the constabulary force, but the auswer is that we the various classes was very tely interspersed
had no such forge to resort to, for we heve often found! with Music, both vocal and pn conned:

difflculty in them. We are endeavoring to
give them imuunity, but I thik we are carrying that
exemption tog far. Even this year we would be with-!
out constables as far as those in the volunteer ranks are |

- eoncerned, and it is likely that a large portion of the

constables are connected with the volunteer corps.

Hon, Mr, Been: The Court may obtain a list of the
volanteers, and there are plenty of men who are not
aed with that organization to act as constables ;
but it may happen that those who are appointed may
not wish to act, and they may, in effect, cancel their ap-
pointment by joining the volunteer forces, and thus a
whole County may be left without constables.

Hon. Mr. Paumenr submitted the following amend-
ment, which was agreed to:

‘Except such yolunteers who have already been ap-
pointed constables for the current year, but who shall
also be exempt after the ternination of their present
office of constable.”

“The House was then resumed, the Chairman report-
ed the bill agreed to with an amendment, and, on mo-
tien ofthe Hon. Mr. McDonall, it was read a third
time and passed.

TRUSTEES’ BILL,

On motion-of the Hon, Mr Palmer, a bill to amend
the Act of the 29th Victoria, Chapter 26, relating to
trustees, and the Act relating to judgments in the Su-
preme Court, binding Leaseholds, was re-committed,
reported agreed to, read a third time and passed.

A message was brought from the House of Assembly
by the Hon. Attorney General, informing this House
that they had appointed a committee, consisting of the
Hon, Attorne Sonera Hon, Mr. Davies, Hon. Mr.
Laird, Hon. Mr. Calbeck, Mr. Brecken, and Mr. Reilly,
to join a committee of the Council to enquire during
the recess of the Legislature into the necessity of pro-
viding by Iaw for the relief of unfortunate Debtors, to
report thereon at the next session of the Legislature,
by. bill or otherwise.

The House then adjourned for an hour, and, being
again met, at five o'clock, His Excellency George Dun-
das, Esquire, came down to the Council Chamber, and
Laving taken his seat in the Chair of State, gave his
assent to cighteen bills, passed during the present

session

MISCOUCHE EXAMINATION,

We were very sorry that duties which could not be
tponed, prevented our being present at the Exam-
nation of the pupils of the Miscouche Convent on
Tuesday last. e, however, prevailed on a youn
lady who was present to ty us a short description o
what shesaw and heard, This we give our readers below.
Considering our aig rong oe extreme youth, and
the shortness of time given her for its preparation,—
these printers are very impatient people,—we editon-
ally pronounce her attempt quite a success. The ladies
of the Convent are engaged ina good work. They de-
eerve to succeed, and they no doubt will succeed.
Having spent a great many of our youthful days in a
French settlement, we take at interest in the edu-
cation of the Acwlian French inhabitants of the Island.
We want to see them assume that position in the coun-
try to which their talents and their virtues entitle them.

e are much pleased to find them awakening to the
importance of giving their children a good education.
This ie the first great step towards the attainment of a
higher social position :

Mr. Eprror :—Tuesday »eing a fine day, I set out
for Miscouché to witness the examination of the pupils
of the Convent School. As I was much too early, |
took a walk round the grounds. Tables were placed
on one side of the yard in front of the Chapel, where
women had al y begun to sell refreshments. The

ables were shaded by evergreen bushes, and it was
Yeti ul to sit at them out of the sun. I think the

tem people to sit down quite as much as the
sight of the things of which there was no scarcity.
I then walked up to the Convent. On the platform|),

outside of the building an arbour was erected, formed

of evergreens, along the sides of which was a short/Thornton.

curtain tastefully decorated with pink, paper sprigs of
, and Sowers. As everybody was busy caaaing

in seats and finishing the decorations, I went out.
Crowds of people now began to assemble, but admit-
tance was retused to all those who had no business in-
side. Although the gates were continually opening to
admit the pupils or to allow the seats to be brought in,
no one tried to force themselves through, and I do not
think there ever was a more orderly crowd. . After we
had taken our seats, His Lordship the Bishop, three
Priests, together with a large number of ladies and
gentlemen took their seats, and the examination :
Classes in easy French and English reading lessons
were then exammed. ‘The younger children then gave
recitations in French. A more advanced class was
afterwards examined in French reading, part of which

translated the French inte English with great ease.

One of the ils then recited a piece which appeared
to be thought a great deal of by those who could un-
derstand French. Classes were next examined in

French and English Grammar. A French play was
then acted, but uubappily not being a French scholar,
I could not understand a word that was said, but if I

of its excellence from the laughter and
ot the audience, [ should pronounce it a very
one. Classes were then examimed iu History,
Cpupavbonnchneet the English Grammar, phy
and Arithmetic. An En play, called ** Who's to
Inherit,” was acted wi Payee rie and the actors
‘were much applauded by the ence. Two French
ee and one English one fo!lowed, accompanied with

ven

were to)

from the piano. A French dialogue was then

th ildren, after which an address was

ri in French by one young lady, and one in English
yanother. The Bishop then delivered a short address
“to the people assembied, anc another to the children.
Addresses were also given by two of the Priests. ‘God
save the Queen” sung, and the le went home, seem-
ingly very pleased with everything they saw and

I for one have seldom spent a more pleasant day.
The children acquitted themselves wonderfully well.
It wasa ee to see so many children all dressed
in white. What astonished me most was the absence
of embarrassment among the scholars, They seemed
as much at ease as if they were repeating their lessons
te each other, The Engtish lessons certainly were
well said. In Geo y the Convent pupils particu-
larly excel; and if | were to judge by the read of
their answers, | say they were not at ali inferior.
Some of the scholars are about to leave the Convent.

ardly say, inthe most creditable manner, and reflected

the highest honor on their teachers and themselves by

their ready and correct answers, The examination ot

and was a
feature in the Programme whi¢h was very highly
preciated. On the whole, we believe that we can only
eapress the opinion of all present, when we say that
this year’s Examination was one of the best ever yet
held at that Instition,

the Rev Angus McDonald, Rector of the Colloge, rose
aud expressed to the students his regret that, owin
to the want of funds, the College was unable this year
to grant Prizes, He trusted, bowever, that the publi-
eation by the local press, of the names of the most de-
serving would compensate. in soime degree, for this
disappointment, ashe was well aware that none of
them would compete for any Prize book merely for the
sake of its intrinsic value. "His Honor the Chief Jus-
tice followed in a neat and eloquent address, complh-
menting, in very high terms, the Professors and
Students of St Dunstan's, on the splendid display
made on that oceasion, aud expressing the great satis-
faction that he himself dusived from asgicting at the
Examination, both this yoar and last. Hon Col Gra
next addressed the students, and, on behalf of himself
and family, expressed his thanks tor the kind invitation
sent to them to be present on that occasion. He re-
eye to learn that the want of funds, on the part of

e College, obliged the students to go home this year
without prizes, although, as every person could see,
they merited thom so well, bat he hoped that, in their
disappointment, they would console themselves with
the reflection that, if they did not obtain the material
prize, yet theirs was a prize of incomparably greater
value, viz: the satisfaction which arises from a consci-
entious, and, as they could there see, highly ap-
preciuted, discharge of duty. As a native British
American, he felt proud of St Dunstan's College, the
Rector of which he held in the or esteem, and he
would take that opportunity of directing the serious at-
tention of the young men before him to the grave res-
ponsivilities which would devolve upon them when
they left that Seminary of learning,—responsibilities
which would be in exact proportion to the Psst op-
portunities that they now possess, of qualifying them-
selves for the stern duties of manhood. Alter t 1.
lant Colonel's eloquent address, His Honor Chief oat
tice Peters rose and very warmly congratulated the
students on their proficiency in the different branches
in which they had been exammed. Turning then to
education in general, the learned Judge aaid there
is one gentleman in particular who has the strongest
claims on the itude of all the true friends of Edu-
cation in the Colony, the fruits of whose great labors
will be felt long after this and the succeding generation
shall have passed away forever. That gentlemen is
His Lordship, the Bishop of Charlottetown, the most
energeticand the most successful promoter of education
in the Lower Provinces, ‘The learned Judge concluded
his address by expressing a hope that the promisin
young men then before him would be a credit to their
—— to themselves,'and to that noble institution. —

be specially mentioned for their proficiency ia their

CONVENT EXAMINATION.

The Annual Examination of the pupils attending the
Female Academy in this city, conducted by the Ladies
of the Congregation de Notre Dame, came off on Thurs-
day last, and was a brilliant success. His Lordship the
Bishop ot Charlottetown, several of his , the pa-
rents of the pupils, and a very large number of friends,
were present on the occasion. For four hours the pu-
ils stood a searching examination on English Grammar,

etoric, Geography, Use of the Globes, History, Bot-
any, Zoology, Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, &e.,
and by their correct and prompt answers gave the great-
est satisfaction to their friends, as well as they did
honor to themselves, and reflected the highest credit on
the institution which is so admirably conducted by the
good, self-denying Sisters of the Convent. The pro-
gramme was varied with addresses, drama, and instru-
mental muric, executed by the pupils in the finest style.
At the close of the Examination, His Lordship the
eater distribated a ~— number of prizes to the suc-
sessful competitors in various classes, and
‘*crowns of honor” on the heads of many of the youn
ladies who merited them by their general good conduct
and assiduity during the past year. His Lordship then
complimented the pupils on the marked progress which
they made since the last examination, enoou them
to persevere, and expressed the great pleasure which
he felt at the suecessful manner in which they acquitted
themselves on that occasion. We annex a list of the
prizes awarded to the Young Lady Pupils :—
