BIBIGNATIONS.

‘Hie Hon. Mr. Rica, the Treasurer stated he wished to communicate to the House that in con noses of the Government being in a mi- norltv last evening in the House of Assembly, the utive Council, collectively and those holding ofico individuall , had tendered their resignations to His Exce lenoy the Lieutenant Governor :—and on a uoetion having been put to him by an hon. gen emsn astowhcther their restgnstions had been accepted, his onor ro- pli , that be had said all be was authorised to state.

ADDRES IN ANSWER TO HIS EXCEL- LI-1NCY'S srnscn.

The Hon. Mr. Rica moved that the order of the day be _now entered into; and it havin been read b the Clerk, his Honor next move that the A dress as prepared b the Commit- tee appointed for that purpose now read it. 2d time-—And this having also been done, he then moved that the House do resolve itself intoa Committee of the whole to take it into consideration.

The Hon. Mr. Swsinir.—I beg to second the motion of my hon. friend. As there are cer- tain topics and eculiaritiee noticed in the Speech delivered y his Excollcnc the Lieut- enant Governor at the opening 0 the Session, on w ' think it is incumbent on me to olfera few remarks to the House, I shall do this, Sir, I assure you with considerable satis- faction to myself, for whatever he the conse- quences to myself individually), the enunciatin of my opinions on certain pu lic questions an matters ma entail, I shall assuredly never turn from t o declarations of them I are so repeatedly made on the fioor of this House, and more rticularly from those 1 have ever con- sistent y maintained on the subject of respon- sible Government. The circumstances under which his Excollency’s Speech was delivered and the time called for an unusual course, and, indeed a decisive declaration from this House whether or no it would participate in a sense- less or for political change. If any person reads is Excelleuoy's Speech with attention, he will see that the Governor was called upon b a re uieition from certain members of the Ilousc o Assembly to assemble the Legislature at a very unusual period, and as his Excellenc did not think it e lent to comply with we

here his Honor was interrupted by a iucssa

rom the House of Assembly requestipg t_c Legislative Council to a point a Committee in conjunction with that of he House of Assembly to take charge of the Legislative Library.) I was about to say Sir, that His Excellency did not think proper to accede to the requisition ;- but with regard to the Speech his Excellonc has stated certain reasons why he did not thin it expedient to concur with t e requisitionists, (‘acre the hon. gentleman referred to at part of it relatin to ollice holders, and defended the departments s stem.) His Excellency saw no riasoii, and I o entirely concur with him on that point, to depart from the usual course, and he even goes be oud that, for he states that during the peri Res iisible Government was in operation the Islam was rapidly progressing in prosperity. In fact if an one roperly con- siders tho Speech, good ii vali reasons are there given wh we are called upon to adhere to that form of vernment, certainly none why we should deviate or depart from so sound a system, and one which the British Constitution so fully recognises by plunging into an unknown and sboreless ocean with no buoys or beacons to guide us, and adopting a form of Govern- ment not only difihrent from, but entirely at variance with our own. It ap rs to me, Sir, that such a change has been emanded with it view merely to rty urposes and not at all that the country calls or it. There can be no doubt whatever, that matter has been introdu- ced in the Speech in order that we should ex-

ress our opinions u n it, and from what I have observed whilst had a seat at the Execu- tive Bourd and since I retired from it, of the operation of our present form of Government 1 ordially support that part of His Excellent: ’s peech, (his onor again referred to it.) h taatute that was s some years ago rela- ve to Members 0 Assembly accepting ofiices of zuioliiment, showed the wisdom o the Imperial urliament in recommending our adoption of such an Act because under it such parties were placed upon their trial as it were when they were sent back to their Constituencies for their a provnl or rejeotion—this is the sa

ard tlie constitution provides, and it had been

ound a sufloient one and fully adequate to de- fend the people's rights, for no man obnoxious to them can thereby be laced in ollice. There is one other point to w ich I wish to call your Honors‘ attention and which I think is very properly noticed in the Speech, and that is as to the right of members of the Legislative Council holdin oilices of cmolumcnt. The idea entertain b some people that we are ineligiblcis not on y in my estimation in very absurd one but we should view it as an unjus- tifiable and unconstitutional invasion of our just rigbb. But I cannot insult the good sense of the house by saying more on this subject. A with respect to t at part of the S och where his Excellency notices the ra ' and marked improvement of the Counti-y,dui-ing the last 3 ears while under Responsible Govern- ment, ui the situation of the Island and our iuucb increased intercourse with IIOIPIIIIOIIPIIIS Provinces, he sees nothln , nor do Sir, why there should be any thing It e a departure from

the nt system—So prosperous and happy a state of things iudisputsb y roves that the Country has iiaproved during rlod named

b his Excolleuc and in sppro ng it he only nciples he was sent out here b Her Majesty the Queen to establish; and

roforel ask why should we be tinkering a new Constitution we know nothing about, and of which we have had no evidence whatever as to its sfich. let us look to the improvements which have tsdinthe ti-eds oftbs Country and to the , danced and

remuner-sting prices our farmers now receive for the roduce of the soil. Does any thing I ask, on for such a change as is now sou t for. I say emphatically no, and I anticipate a cricrul, I‘ no cntireccncnrreuce of this House. repeat, I was a ice time a Member of the Government, and I t ink we ms challenge the world in res t to ' our gislation. [now turn your ouor’s attention to that rt of the Speech referrln to the Education ill. There are already schools registered under that Act. Every body knows that it is yet, as it were, only in lronsito and the only patent defect we have as ct desoovered is that we cannot find a eufiicieu number of properly qualified persons to superintend on schools. be person appointed as School In ctor is one who has it highly recommon ed as well qualified to fill the situation—He comes from what ma perhaps termed a normal school institu for the express purpose of fillin such situations as the one he now holds, and have no doubt the country will ere long derive much benefit from his services. I pass over that part of the Speech addressed particularly to the other branch of the Legislature. I now touch upon the assertion, that uestions which lon agitated the public min have been settl amongst these the most prominent is escbeat. Well, then, I say is it not somewhat sin ular, that such a question should have been si euced under the administration of the responsible party, some of whom too, have been accused of oldiug opinions favorable to such a measure! Whatever, might be the opinions of such. and I never heard them utter one that favoured any such idea, it is strange indeed that that subject should have become a dead letter, and have been deemed an unpracticnble one while they held ofiice. His Excellency next proceeds to the question of the Fishery Reserves. I have for some time entertained an opinion that this is a matter or uestion that can only be roperly set to rest y an appeal to a lo I tri unal- The law must settle the Fishery eserves nes- tiou at last—in no other we can it possibIy be disposed of. Hydra heads objections in rapid succession will no doubt be started up and brought to bear a inst the princi lots of the resent form of overnmeut,as it so against is Excellency’s Speech for the purpose of par warfare, but I think that the Owners of proper- ty will acknowled that the Fisher Reserves question is now tied only one whic remains unsettled. I second the motion made by his
