he othors to tho great need of having
them consolidated. There is no subject
upon which I dread so much to be asked
fa opimion, for it takes me half a day
to read the Acts through, before I can
five an opinion; but what I stated was,
that if the system is to be changed, we
should now have some intiraation of what
those changes are to be, so that they
may go abroad, and the people will have
some information upon them. They
may approve or disapprove of those
changes, and thave may be time for us to
get very valuable information upon the
subject, before the Act is passed. I
think if there is any subject upow which
the Goveramont should give some inti-
mation of their intentions, it is the one
pow before us,

Sixth Paragraph.

Mon. Mr, MacDonatp: I observe
that two of your honors, who were mem
bers of the Committee appointed last Ses-
sion, to take into consideration the best
method of improving the Highways, are

resent, and no doubt they will give some
information upon the subject, though the
report of the Committee is vot before
ns. Their honors have, in conjunction
with the members from the other branch
of the Legislature, drawn np a very able
and lengthy report which contains a
great deal of information, and which, I
think, will load toa radical change in the
method of improving our highways.
However, as I only just looked at the re-
port, I shall not say anything at present
in reference to it,

Hoo. Mr. Hayrnorne: I fully ex-
pected thathis honor from the City, (Mr.
Palmer), would be as urgent for iofor-
mation wpon this subject as upon that
of Education, but as he has not risen,
I will relate the course the Committee
pursued npon this question. TJ, for one,
must say, thatthe Committee were well
supported from both sides of the House,
aad ifauything like a good. maasure ia
the result of the report, we will vot lay
more claim to it thau;we deserve, for
we received a great deal of valuable in-
formation from many parties, both pub-
licand private. We havo, perhaps, been
longer in bringing that report forward
than was desirable, One reason of this
was, that the Attorney Geveral was in
England, and we required information
which we expected to get throngh him,
respecting machinery in operation in the
old country, for breiking stone; but,
eventually, having received much infor-
mation on the subject, we have drawn
up such a report as I trust will meet the
approval of your honors. We have re-
commended the Maeadamizing system
near Charlottetwn, and other places,
where traffic concentrates; and, also, that
other highways shonkl be made upon a
different plan. We had for our guid-
ance, also, a measure introduced by his
honor from the city, (Mt. Palmer), when
he was Leader of the Government,
That measure was inoperative bocause
the country was not prepared for it, It
is much the. same as what is eall-
ed the * Highland Road Act,” in, Scot-
land; but this country had not arrived at
such a state as would warrant its intro-
duction here, Our roads were mere
tracks, and, indeed, are so in many places
yet. Jaid ont ou certain roads, and we. con-
teive that it was for waat of adequate
supervision that it was not more eftec-
tual. We have also ascertained the cost
of good material brought from the main
Jand, and what the cost of breaking and
applying the same wonld be. But thongh
Wwe may succeed in Macadamiziug a few
miles of road near Charlottetown, and
some other places, that will not reach the
greatbulk of the roads throughout the
country,and every person is aware that to
effect a journey of 40 or 50 miles in a day,
in the fall of the year is almost impossible.
That is a state of things which shonld
not exist in any civilized country. We
considered it best;to place the main post
roads under the supervision of commis-
sioners who should be responsible for
them. Ilowever, as the report is not
before us, perhaps it is not advisable to
ge into all its provivions ; but IT may say
that we find:the Island is ‘not so bare of
materials for road making, for we have a
considerable quantity, though not of the
very best description, yet, of ‘tolerably
good quality. We find that a consider-
able quantity of hard stone exists under
four townships, and the red sandstone is
also available in. many. places... These
things assure me that the improyement
ofour roads is not so very hopeless,
though, of course, a great deal of labor

will be required before any great! ‘results’

can be obtained. ~ ‘

Hon. Mr. Beer: Talao had the
honor of setting on that Committeo,
and if the report does not cottain
nm good deal of valuable information,
it is not for want. of endeavoring to

obtain it. 1am persuaded: that when | -

the report is taken hold: of, and acted
upon, it will beghe-means ot - effecting n

improvement in our highways. }
4 There is great need fot wiaphagentbat Tor

even last tall, just before the frost set
in, the roads were almost impassable:

weeks longer, farmers would not have
been able to bring their grain to market.
In reference to Macadamizing those main
thoroughfares, it has been calewlated’
that, by impofting stone and having it

by a stone-brenkitte machine, it
can be dine for about £400 yor, £500

with the hammor, it will cost perhaps
80 well brokea with the harmer, and

ticularly in the vieinity of Charlottetown,
feel a great interest ; but I have not had
an oppertunity cf reading the report of
those geatlemen who have been applying
themselves to this subject during the re-
cess, and, therefore, I do not think it
would be expected, neither do I think it
would be right to go into the details of
this question till that report is brought
before us. It is certainly a question of
very great importance, for if there is any
way in which we can serve the interest
of the agriculturalist, it is by facilitating
his meaus of getting his produce to mar-
ket. Asto the act of making roads, I
cannot but revert to the saying of the old
philosopher, that ‘if you give him
something to rest his lever upon, he
would move the world ;” so, in making
roads, the great want is money; and, as
I said this morning, we must try and im-
prove trade. I do not think there would
be so much diiliculty in making roads if
we had money. We know that if we
resolve to make good finished roads, we
will have to import stone; and, not
being able to do that, we must do the
next best thing to it, and we must en-
deavor to keep the roads in as good
| order as possible near the principal sea-
ports of the Colony. 1 will reserve any
| further remarks till the report comes be-
| fore us,

| Hon, the Presipent: Our system re-
| quires to be changed. The money which
| is appropriated for the roads is not pro-
iperly expended. We have thirty-two or
| thirty-three Commissioners, and they are,
/perhape, not the most competent men,
‘bat every one has a system of his own,
/so that there is no uniformity. Bat, till
vo got one general and uniform system,
;we will never have good roads, The
Commissioners are not paid for the duty
they are expected to perform, and they
ido not perform all the labor they should.
|The way money is expended upon the
| ronds is quite useless, The system is bad,
; and the sooner we adopt an improved one
the better,

Hon, Mr, Dixawrin: The system is
likely to be changed, and I thiok it is
really necessary to make some altera-
tions; but,atthesametime,l do not approve
of all the changes which those who drew
np the report contemplated. Some think
that the want of system is all that is re-
quired, but it is well known that our
soil is not good for making roads, and
that it is different in diferent parts of
the country, so that the same system
will not apply to all parts. I know it
demands the serious consideration of the
| Legislature to effect some improvement.
but Ido not pledge myself to adopt all
|the suggestions contained in the report.

Hon, Mr. Lonp: I have been iu the
Legislature for many years, and this
road system has always been a standing
grievance. Many plans have been sug-
gested, but they have always fallen to
the ground; but, at the same time, I
believe it is necessary to repeal the pre-
sent Road Act. I believe it is contem-
plated to hare three or four engineers
imported, but if they could go into one
of those London banks and take a few
thousand sovereigns with them, then we
might see some improyement. Or, if
Lonr farmers would submit to a road tax,
jas they do in’ Canada, then something
might be done.
jafter all, that our roads are much in-
ferior to those in the neighboring Pro-
vinces, except it isa few miles near the
cities, where large sums of money have
been expended. I travelled on the road
from Truro to’ Pictou last Fall, aud I
found it as bad as any part of our roads.
And if you look at the small amount of
mong expended here, you certainly
cannot expect any great results. What is
five or six, or even ten pounds, in three
or four miles, with perhaps a ‘bridge to
repair? It issa mere nothing. How-
ever. this is, perhaps, not the best time
to discuss this question. _ I suppose the
report will recommend a new road act,

of havibg onr roads. Macadamized. I
| hope they, will succeed, and that we will
have good roads in future, but the fact
is, we cannot have good roads without
money, and the only way to get it is to

put on taxes,

Hon: Mr. Brrr: I would: just say
that his honor is mistaken with respect
to the importation of fotlr engineers.
The Committee have no intention of re-
commending anything of the kind.

The Hotse was thon resumed, and the

PETITION—SELKIRK ESTATE.

Hon. Mr. MacDonald, by leave, pre-
sented a petition of certain inhabitants of
Lot 57 and other parts of the Selkirk
Estate, setting forth that
charged to the settlers for Jands upon
high, that the
was more than anf.
ficient to reimburse the Government for
the original cost and working expenses
thereof, and praying redress,
report of the Attorney General
Solicitor General upon the above subject.

On presenting this petition, his honor,
(Mr. MacDonald), remarked that a bill
had already been introduced in the House
of Assembly, to carry ont what they eon-
ceived to he the intention of the Land
Purchase Act, which was, that no more
shonld be charged to the se‘tlers upon an
estate than would refund its original cost
and working expenses to the Govern-
He would, therefore, move that
the petition be received and read,

Hon, Mr. Brer said he had much
pleasure in rising to second the motion
which had just been made, and also in
supporting the prayer of the petition.
He trusted thata bill wonld come up
from the House of Assembly, which
would have ‘the effect of relieving the

good effects would he still more apparent

tion had given satisfaction to the Colony at

thorght his honor who had epoken last was
nndey a wrong impression, for the exhibi-
tion held last fall was not for Quoon's
Connty alone, but forthe whole Island. Tt
Was necessary, therefore, that it should be
held in a central place, Those exhibitions
were frequent in the neighhoring Colonies
and the United States, and o central place

some difficulty in bringing took and heavy
articles from distant Counties to, Charlotte.

of having an exhibition in each County
wwonll, in a great measure, obviate that dif-
fienlty.

Hon. Mr. Dixawent. enid he “did not
complain of the arrangement, but of the
ineonrenience to which people in Kina's
and Prince Counties were subjected. The
local exhibitions would be much more con-
venient.

Tfon, Mr. HWayrronnr enid he was aware
of the desirability of having an exhibition
in exch County, and the Commissioners had
stndied that point to see if it was practica-
ble. THe supposed their honors were aware
that great exhibitions in England were
carried to different counties, and aince the
establishment of the Raval Agricultural
society, they had heen held in every County,
and nearly every town init, The Commis.

ALL CURES MADE EASY

’
HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT
Bad Legs, Ulcerous Sores, Bad Breasts.
No description of wound, sore or ulcer can resist the heal
ing properties of this excellent Ointment. The worst case
readily assume a healthy appearance whenever this medical
ag_nt ix applied; sound flesh springs up from the bettom e
the wound, inflammation of the surrounding skin 1s ar_asted
and a complete and pérmanent cure quickly follew th'euse
of the ointment,
Piles, Fistulas, and Internal Inflammation
These digressing and weakening diseases may with cer-
tainty be cured by the sufferers themselves, if they will. us
Holloway’s intment, and closely attend to the printed in.
structions. It should be well rubbed upon the neighboring
parts, when all obnoxious matter will be removed. A poul-
tice of bread and water may sometimes be applied at bed
time with advantage; the most scrupulous cleanliness must
be observed. If those who read this paragraph will bring it
under the notice of such of their acquaintances whom it may
oncern, they will render a service thatwill never be forgot+
en, as a cure is certain,

Rheumatism, Gout and Neuralgia.

Nothing has the power of reducing inflammationand suh:
duing pain in these complaints in the same degree as Hollo-
way's cooling Ointment and purifying Pills. When used
simultaneously they drive all nflammation and depravities
from the system, subdue and remove all enlargement of the
joints, and leave the sincws and muscles lax and uncontract~
ed A cure may always{beeffected, even under the worst
circumstance, if the use of these medicines be persevered in

kruptions, Scald Head, Ringworm, and

other Skin Diseases,

After fomentation with warm water, the utmost relief and
speediest cure can be readily obtained in all complaints affec-
ting the skin and joints, y the simultanvbus use of the Oint-
ment and Pills, But it must be remembered that nearly all
skin diseases indicate the depravity of the blood and derange-
ment of the liver and stomach conse uently in many cases,
time is required to tap the blood, which will be effected by
8 judicious ‘use of the Pills. « Thé general heal¢h will readily
be improvea, although the bp ney muy be driven out more
freely than before, and which should be promoted; perscve-
rance is nedéssary.

On the appearance ot any ot these maladica the Ointment
should be well rubbed at least three times a day upon the
neck and upper part of the chest, so as to penetrate to the
glands, as salt is forced into meat: this course will at once
remove inflammation and ulceration, The worst cases will
yield to this treatment by following the printed. directions,

Scrofula or King’s Evil and Swelling of

the Glands. "

This class of cases may be cured by Holloway'’s purify ’
Pills and Ointment, as their double " on of pf ying Rs
blood and strengthening the system renders them more aff:
able than v5? other remedy for all complaints of a scrofulo
nature, As the blood is impure, liver, stomach and bowels

ios po deranged, require purifying medicine to, bring

a cure,

Both the Ointment and Pills should be used in the followin
