NOVA SCOTIA.

A despnteh from the Colonial Secretary was laid on the table of the Nova Scotis Assembly on Thursday last, stating that the Home Government hail resolved in the event of hostilities with line- sia. to extend their protection to the sub‘.-eta of Fr-.ince. in the several dependencies oflhe 'mpire. The despatoh directed the Lieut. Governor to exercise the authority ofthe Government for the sums purpose when necesssry.—VVi'lruss.

A strange story appeared some days ago in u Q-ieber paper. to the clfect that in consequence of utlvi-es from Englind. the Provincial post-ollioe Iiitlrttritiel had seiaed a letter intended for the Ntlaslln Government, containing a programme of an intended invasion of Canada by Russian sol- diets VII the United States.

It was looked on here as a hoax. but I0-lll.'lll it is announced by telegraph from Qnebrc that the writer of the letter has been seized. but no proof of trtia-on was found. in conseqitence of his hav‘ ing had time to deatroy his letters, and that 10,000 militia are to be called out. The matter in still considered as a humbug of some kind.

Saturday, April 1, 1854.

Wu every day see tnore reason to be satisfied with

the course panned by the Charlottetown 'l‘otal Absti-

nence Society, is giving popular lectures in aid of the

great and important subject of ’l‘emperunce: nor

could the benefits of this riicasnre be more fully deve-

loped than thsy- were on 'I‘usaday ss’nigbt. On that

evening, Mr. Alexander McAualrind, Engineer of the

Charlottetown Gas Light Company. delivered a use- ful, instructive and impressive lecture on the subject of " National Education. as coiiuscted with the spread of Temperance principles." Severe indispcsition

prevented the writer being present at the delivery of the lecture. and the loan of Mr. McAusland's notes.

kindly furnished by him, has only enhanced the regret at being absent. We would willing|y,—did not want of time and space prevent our so doing.—give an

abridgment of the lecture; as it is. we must content ourselves with a very brief synopsis. The lecturer begun with defining education to be the proper train- ing of the whole man. - the thorough cultivation of all his faculties. Ile judiciously observed. that if man possessed only a physical nature, a physical edu-

cation would be all that he would require; if purely

intellectual. the cultursof intellect would comprehend all that would be desirable to accomplish; and were it possible for a moral being to exist without either body or intellect. there would be nothing but the heart or affections to operate upon. But man. said he. to speak in popular language. is a complex, and not a simple being; he has three natures.-—a corporeal. a rational, and a morul.—thees three. mysteriously united. are essential to constitute a perfect man; and ssall these natures begin to expand in early child- hood. the province of education is to watch over. assist. train. strengthen and discipline, neither of them singly and a|eue.but each according to its intrin- sic and relative importance in connection with the other. He then proceeded to show that ignorance is a national svil—hence the uecemity of a national sys- tem cf education; that intnmpersncs is productive of much of the ignorance that now exists; and, as a corollary to the foregoing, that popular education, when founded on temperance principles. is well cal- culuted_to dispel ignorance. and ought to command the attention and support of every intelligent man. We would willingly have followed the lecturer throughout the train of argument by which he sup- ported the truth of the above propositions; but this. Independently of the reasons befcrs given, would be a diflcult. if not an almost impossible undertaking; fer the notes are but short beads of arguments; Ilr. IcAnnlsud. with an avdor and irupstuosity sf mind. arbing lists an enthusiastic love of his subject. uiade fisqueat diversions from the course be had pre- scribed to himself, eslllng fcvtlt—as we have been told, great and frequent applause from the auditory. In fact. there was not much recur for novelty in the argnltute

n it

usedintbedissusslen of a sultjeeteelle- qusutly treated of; but in the manner of enforcing the truths contained in them. the lecturer was extremely happy. Ivsry word that be uttered, svsvy espres- dcs that be ruade use sf. and the popular manner in which he hndlsd hisssbjsct. combined. with his own position. tegivegveaterfirosand eflbettotltetruths he enunciated. Ir. IsAun|asd b—to use an Ams- rtaau phuse.—"s sslf—snade man." and the advan- tages of education which he possesses are of his own aequlrenrest. , therefore.-his ewn

present era. as Ilmi in which he iiiiprovns tits aoblsr gills of mind. Ilnderstaridiiig and imagination that have been vouchsafed to him by his Creator.

Tisn Legislative Council Chamber. on Thursday morning. presented an unusual concourse of strangers, gathered without the bar. The Hon. Mr. Swabey had introduced a resolution. which we shall presently

"vs. and the discussion to which it gave rise was the occasion of the unwanted attendance. The Resolu- tion is as follows :—

_ " IlI:aot.v|:o, 'l‘hat this House, under existing

circumstances. considers itself aggrieved, and its elli- ctency us a constituent branch of the Constitution impaired. by the inadequate share allotted to it in the Executive Government of the Country." We were not R|:t‘IGIlI when the hon. gentleman intro- ducqd his motion. and consequerilly heard none of the srgunu/its adduced in its favor; nor did we hear the reply oi the lion. Mr. Hall, with the exception of the concluding part; and we shall therefore defer any remarks on the speeches of both of these gentlemen, as well as on those of the Messrs. Hensley-father and son——uutil such time as we shall see them in print. In the mean titue. we shrill give a few minutes’ con- sideration to the resolution itself; and must honestly confess that it appears to us one of the most extraor- dinary documents that we have heard or read of. That a member of the Administration should feel uggrievcd, and sorely. too, that there should not exist is greater nuiuher agreeing with himself in political opinion filling the chairs around the Council table. we can well understand .——and hence the cordial assent of the Ilon. Mr. Hall to the uiotiou—which was unani- mously agreed to; but how Mr. Swabey. or either of the Heusleys. could feel the least possible grief at the number of their political adversaries being too few, is what we cannot for the life of us make out. Did Mr. Swabsy expect that Mr. Holl was to have gone to him. and requested leave to put his name in the list of those who were to be subrnittsd to the Lieut. Governor as forming the Executive? And the same question may be asked of all who came inunder the auspices of the late Administration, or were the acknowledged advocates of that party. And have they any right to feel aggrieved at being left out? So much for that portion of the resolution. Now, as to the ellicisncy of the Legislative Council being im- psired by the inadequate share allotted to it in the Government of the Country. we would, in the first place. ask, what are the duties of the Legislative Council? and, bow is the elficient performance of those dutiss affected in the least by the presence of the greater or lesser number of Executive Councillors.’ They are the nominees of the Crown, removable at p|easure,—placed there. we take it, to be a check upon the popular branch of the Lagisluture—a sort of Chamber of Review. or Board of Control—with the power of originating Hills, and, in an far. invested with powers similar to the House of Lords; but here the analogy ceases. Individually, or its a body, they have no rights or privileges when not in session; and when so employed, their duty is to pass or reject such laws as may be submitted to them. whether pro- posed by one of their own body. or coming from the Lower House. New. in what can their efliciency be impaired by more or less of their number being in the Executive Council.’ Each member judges. or ought to judge, of the fitneu and propriety of passing the Bill under'consideration. from arguments drawn from the nature of the Bill itself. If good and sutlicieut casino is shown. he gives his assent; if this is wanting, he withholds it. It may be a misfortune to the Ad- ministration that there are not an adequate number of their own way of thinking to advocate their own pecu- liar measures, if they have any which they are very anxious to carry; but as to the rest of the Ilouse. it can be to it of no consequence whatever. The reso- Iution would seem to assert, that there is a fixed pro- portion of the Executive Council which ought likewise to sit in the Legislative Council. Now, what is the amount of this proportion, so as toronder it adequate? The House of Amembly consists of twenty-four mem- bers; the Legislative Council, of twelve; and the Executive. of nine. Will three be the adequate num- ber, as it is the proportional? Another question: Where is the uecsmity of having more than one—or two. at furthest! All that the Legislative Council can require, is some one to whom questions as to the intentions of the Government may be addressed, and who may be capable of giving pertinent answers. Lastly, who is to be the judge of the adequacy or in. adequacy of the representation of the Government in the Upper Branch of the Legislature? Common sense would, we think, reply. that those who ndiniu- istsr the Government should be better judges of this matter-—whicli so much concerns their own interest —thsn the opposition, who are determined to thwart —covislt'lntt'oiuslly. as Mr. Stvabsy nuys—every mea- sure they may bring forward. We must honestly say. that we think the hon. mover did not exactly know what he himself meant, when he made this motion; nor did he expect, we think, that Mr. Holl would have so cordially agreed to it. It has this recommendation, however, that it embraces the senti- ments of the Administration and the Opposition. at one and the same time.

Tun Committee for the institution of ti House of Refuge and Industry desired us, some time since. to return thanks to those who so kindly assisted them at the publlc'Ten Party, given for the purpose of origi- unttng a fund for this desirable purpose. The Card of thanks was unsecountubly mislaid; but we trust that the present notice will be accepted as an apology for the cmimion. and that the generous contributors to the Iliad will not consider themselves to have been either lbrgetteu, or their exertions undervalued.
