It was quite dark when I entered the courtyard of the (ilebo House. where ury cousin resided. The capture of the stlp~ posed general had occasioned a wouderlul sensation. and I was ushered into Arthur‘s trunnion with suitable formality. My cousin was absent. and I was left a pris- oner in the parlor until a messenger should be despatched to apprise him of the sup- posed important event.

After some time spent in said Commit- toe. the Clrairmau, Mr. Bell, repurtril progress.

House in Committee on the Education Bill. upon which the greatest portion til the qay was occupied. Several clauses til the bill were adopted with but very little debate. and progress was reported.

The greater portion of the day was on- cupled by the House in Conferences with the Legislative Council.

Hon. Mr. Henderson. agreeably to rio- ticc, asked the Government what action they intended taking on ecrlniu petitions relating tonucw line of road lronr St. Mary‘s Ron-J. Lot til.to Burnt l‘oiut Bridge. Lot till.

lion. Leader of the Government. in re- ply. said that no definite course had yet beetrdctcrmiucd upon relative to the sub. 'cct.

J Iloti. Mr. chdc-rson then gave notion that he would. manor-row. bravo for n Special Committee to report on said peli- tious. and said that he wished to bring to the notice of the House, in connection with the qucSIion, this fact that the plan drawn by the Surveyor General. tracing the dill‘cront litres in question. had been tampered with. as might be seen on refer- ence to it; and, also. that scpcrate plans representing the mutilated parts alluded to, had been placed in the hands of hon. snctnb rs not acquainted with the locality in question. nor with the condition of the people more immediately interested in thotnaltcr. He did not believe that the Government. had rcCourso to such unfair means. but there were those who, through selfish motive-shad been unfairly meddling with the question. There were at low irr- tlividuals at Montague iiridge eagerly

resting fora long central line of road. which could not be completed without. vcry extraordinary grants for twenty years to come: whereas the road so earnestly pray. ed for by the petition in question was al- ready open from the Sturgeon to St.\Inry'it Road. and the remaining portion of it could he opened at a very reasonable cost. and when open. would be easily kept in repair.

(in motion of Mr. Yco. it was resolved that the petitions :ind papers relating to the West Point \Vbnrl be referred to o Special Committee. to re urt thereon.

Ordered, That Messrs. co, meso and Bell do compose the said Committee.

The Revenue Bill was submitted to a Committee of the whole. and progress thereon reported.

Tito Iliil relating to Alewivcs Fisheries was read a second tlrne. and reported

\l'ttnsttsmv. April I5.

Mr. John Yeo. from the Committee to whom was referred the petition of Arthur Ilatnray and others. relating to West Point erarl. presented to the House the report of said Conunittce. which was received and read. Said ilcport was to the effect, that the said Committee were of opinion that from the very g it advantages that the erection oi a wirnrl at West Point would he to a large number of the people ot'tlin Western part of Prince. County. the Government. should take such action as would Cause the construction of said Wharfto he proceeded with. with as lrttlc delay as possible.

lion. Leader of the Government. said that it a ipcar‘cd from the exposed position of that \ 'hurf. it would be with great dil- ficnlty, and at abnavy cost tollre country.

thata wharf could be constructed with»

safety at the place referred to. It might. rerlisps, he better to expend the money m some other adjacent shipping pitu't‘.

You said that the Committee in drawing up their report, lclt the course bestto be adopted open for the Govern- ment He then proceeded to show the hardships under which the people in that pert of the country labored. in not getting their duo shat“- oi the ordinary tippropl‘lts- tion for roads. die . ol which they were svillingto be. to sumo extent. deprived.

mxviderl tho Wharf at lVest I’oiut had won constructed according to contract. Many of those who subscribed to the work had paid in tlu-it‘ shares; It was. then-fore. extremely unfair to iloprivu them of their just rights. ’I‘lrercpt-rtol Mr. Boyd. he said. would show that fill! wharf could be pcrnranentlvlmllt. There were no less than four l'opulous Townships in the We n part at the Island. destitute oi a Bhlppin" plan‘; they surely had a claim on that'liouse and the Government. and he hoped the subject would receive that nitration which its importance demanded.

"on. Mr. Huwian said be accompanied the Engineer alluded to. when he went to the “'03! Point. \Vharl.

Mr. eo.

Hon. Mr. Davies saidlbal the Committee should have iartlctilarixed more fully in their report an an opinion oi the stability of the lvotk.

Hon. Loader of the 0p rosilion said that Boyd‘s report should be t a best authority on that point. lroni which it appeared tilerc would be no difficulty in erecting the Wharf in question. It was indeed desirable that a public work so earnestly prayed for by so large a secti n ol the country. should be entertained by the Government.

Sinclair,Chalrman ofthc Com- mittee of the whole House, on the bill to consolidate and amend the several laws relating to Education. reported said bill agreed to. with amendments. When the Ilouselu Committee had gone tlirou b the bill. the honorable the Speak- sr IIIIS that he could not refrain from say- tug a few words on the important subject oi the bill. bolorc it left Committee. Hts honor then reviewed the progress of Edit- cation in the Colony since the first intro- duction of the Free School system, and kid a bi vh compliment to the hon. .cndcr oft to Government. whom. he said was the father of that Act. that had given such general satisfaction in the country. The tact that in two years lrom the passrng ot the Act irn increase ofsmno L’l‘J Schools. and lQU'I‘cachcra followud. was proof of its appreciation. He also alluded to the establishment of the Normal School.lisving for its nbjactaunifnrmsystcm of training Teachers. lIo (lion.

Teachers wholly from the Treasury. The whole laws relating to Education had now. he said. by the bill under consideration. been consolidalul. and several important amendments had. he was glad to observe. been agreed to by the Committee; and from the thorough and searching investi- gation entered into on every paragraph in the bill. he hoped it would not be neces- oaary to submit thesubject to the Legisla- luru again for some years to come. This bill. as amended. be trusted would meet the approval of the public. provoiucreaw ingly beneficial to the best educational tn- ltertrsts oi the Colony. and redgund to the credit of the Legislature.

The principal nlllt udmonls to the Bill. in addition to the changes relative to the Normal School; the :tppiiiulnmnt of linen visitors. two examiners. and other altera- tions already given in the summary reports of the House. are the following. namely— 'l'he salaries ol Female Teachers in Char- lottetown. are fixed at £40 lbs. per nu- utim.

The school vacations are extended from one month to six weeks. notably—three. weeks in spring. and three weeks in the autumn. ‘i‘lio School Assessment clauses are, to some extent. changed. The assess- ment for building school houses. furniture, and repairs. will cfvtend to all household- ers in each School District. the trustees. however. in levying the rate must have due regard to the circumstances oi each.

Several oi the loregoing amendments trllcltctl some discussion. though not of it very prolonged nor party character.
