Hon. COLONEL SWABRY , though unwilling to occupy the time of the House, im discussing a question which would come before their Llonors on a subse jient occasion, yet deemed it advisable to offer ove remark, on the subject.of the clause. He disclaimed, as did the Hon. Attorne: General, any intention of interfering with the working of the Education Act, of the satisfactory operation of which abundant evidence could be adduced, and therefore he con- sidered that no cause existed, in framing a new Act, to justify any deviation fro the principle of the present law, tt was but right that it should go forth to the country, that there was no intention on the part of the Board of Education | to sanction any important alteration, but that the Board| would let the principle of the Bill remain as it was,

When the clause having reference to inter-colonial com- munications was read —

Hon. COLONEL SWABEY called the attention of the House-to the relatively large amount paid for this service by | the Government of the Island, as compared with the amounts granted by Nova Scotia and New Bruaswick, which had not acted in a spirit of liberality corresponding to that which we had manifested, although they were equally interested inthe efficiency of the arrangements. Last year this service cost | the Island about £1000 sterling.

How. ATTORNEY GENERAL was of opinion that the principal difliculty was to be found in the fact, that the contracts had hitherto been of too short duration. The practice had been to make the arrangements merely for a) Single season, and the amount to be paid depended entirely | on an annual vote of the House of Assembly. Capttalists | would not embark their means in steamboats unless there was a prospect that they could obtain a contract of reasonable | duration. At present the Government was ot the mercy of any party who might happen to have a boat in the Gulf. . No one could doubt the uecessity which existed for a good and sufficient communication. The important intercourse with | the different parts of the Gulf rendered it desirable that the | Government should bave power to enter iuto contracts ex- tending over years. He agreed with his Honor, Colonel Swabey, that the sister Colonies had not contributed to this service as they should have dons,

His Honor the PRESIDENT remarked, that when in New Brunswick, last summer, he had, by request of this Go- vernment, endeavored to come to some definite arrangement on the subject of the inter-colonial communications, ‘The re- sults of the negotiation would probably be laid before the Legislature. ‘The principal men in New Brunswick acknow- ledged the necessity which existed, fyr increased accommo- dation, and expressed their desire for a larger grant, and suggested the appointment of Cowmissiouers on the parts of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the Island, whose co-

operation might ensure a proper performance of so important -

a source. Admitting that the other Provinces did not con- tribute their fair proportion, and that we paid a very large sum, bis Honor did not coincide with the opinion of the Hon. Attorney General, as to the effect of the want ef perma-| nency iu the arrangements. During the time he had been con- nected with the Government, he had known of no proposal for an extended period, but one which was made last year, but which was so extravagant in amount that it couldnot be entertained.

On motion of Mr. Dingwell the Address, as follows, was! agreed to and ordered to be engrossed :—

To His Excellency Sir Dominick Daly, Knight, Lieutenant Governor and Commander-in-Chicf, in and over Her Majesty's Island Prince Edward, ‘Chancellor, Vice <Ad- miral and Ordinary of the same, $c. Gc. gc.

May 17 pLease Your Exceviency :

We, the Members of Her Majesty's Legislative Council of Prince E.lwatd Island, bez to tender to your Excellency our thanks for your Speech at the opcning of the present Session.

We have great satisfaction in learuing from your Excel- dency that Her Majesty's Government hws been pleased to comply with, and accede to, the suggestion contained in the Joint Address:of the two Branees of this Legis ature, having reference to the giving of a guarantee for a sufficient Loan that may be required to purchase Township» Lands in this Island, so that a more speedy and general conversion of Leasehold tenures into Freehold, may be effected ; and we shall, therefore, gravely consider any measure that may be submitted towards carrying into effect that desirable result. |

Any measure that may be laid before us, having in view | the establishment of Municipal Institutions, thus coneeding to the inhabitants of" this Island a more direct power in the | management of their own local affuirs, shall receive our | earnest and careful attention; and in coanexion with this) subject, we shall consider the expediency of constituting a | Board of Works, so that all public expenditure shall hence- forth be made under careful revision.

Weare gratified to learn that the general Education Act) is 80 encouraging in itself, that a free system of publie in- struction is so highly appreciated by the inhabitants at large, and we shall cheerfully continue or re-enact the same.

The interests of Agriculture, which form the primary ob- ject of industry and enterprise in this Colony, claim from us, and shail receive our most deliberate consideration.

As we are convinced of the great necessity of making all inter-colonial communications as perfect and as permanent as. possible, we shall readily concur with. any reasonable plan | that may be suggested for their extension.

We beg to thank your Excellency for the expressien of your willingness to co-operate with us in the promotion of the interests of the {sland, and the happiness and content- | ment of the people; and we beg to assure your Excellency that we have every confidence in your Excellency’s mode of’ administering the Government of this loyal Colony. |

After which the House adjourned till Monday, the 2nd

Correspondence.

To rue Eprror or THe EXAMINER.

Str,—I observed in the Nuva Scotzan received by the last Colonial mail, an extract from a letter purporting to have been written by the Rey. Charles 1. Burnett, of Charlottetown, and originally published inthe Céristian Visitor, of St. John,

N.B., which displays much of that unchristian spirit that ac- |

tuated his reverend brethren at the late Protestant meeting, and evinces nbout as much regard for truth as they did in their speeches,

Mr. Burnett pretends to give an account of the rise and |

progress of the Bible question in this place, but suppresses most important facts in doing so. He informs his readers, in the first place, that ‘* the Bible has been exeluded from our public schools.’’ Now, sir. 1 have had an opportunity of look- ing over the returns recently sent to the Board of Education, from our numerous public schools, and I find that the Serip- tures are read in nearly one half of them, andthatin a majo- rity of Schools where they are not read, the largest namber of pupils are Protestants of various denominations.

Again, he says:—‘* The new institution, theNormal School, was to be conducted on Mr. Stow’s system of Bible training. But listen to it, Protestants,—it was offensive to the ‘* faith- ful,’ and the last step has been the removal of the Bible from the Normal School.”’

This is a gross misrepresentation. Mr. Burnett must have known that the Board of Education—* his esteemed friend the

made any rule to have the Bible used as a class book in the Normal School, nor was it read there at any time previous to the receipt of the Bishop’s letter by the Board of Education. Mr. Fitzgerald knew this, so did Mr. Stark, both of whom haye since become so wonderfully expert, according to Mr. Burnett's opinion of them, in exposing the * dark ways of the Papacy.’’ If it was a great injury to Protestantism to have the Bible unrecognised as a class-book in the Normal School, why did not those great champions of the Sacred Volume bring the matter to the notice of the Government: and if the Executive would not permit its introduction, they should have resined their places? I cannot see why they should have waited for the Bishop's letter to get up an excitement on reli-

gious grounds. That letter made not the slightest alteration

| in the existing state of affairs. It was not the cause of remor-

a paper, to which he was to become the Editor, the case is different, and sayours of a desire to increase his worldly in- come, by adding secular pay (as Editor) te his hard-earned wages 48 a labourer in the Lord’s vineyard.

Although Protestants ourselves, we feel bound in gratitude, to acknowledge that the whole world is indebted to the Ca- tholics for fostering the Fine Arts, whether in Painting, Mu- sic, or Seientific research ; there has more knowledge emanated from the solitary cell of the monk than from any other pro- fessor of Christianity, even though he calls himself a tolerant Protestant. ‘The Catholic Chureh, from its earliest date, has been noted for fostering the Fine Arts, both in Painting and Music; witness the works of Oorreggio, Leonardo Di Vinci, Raphael, Michael Angelo, Vandyke, Murillo, the Carraciis, in fact the whole list of ancient Artists —where every Chapel

is @ memento of their greatness, where their handwriting is / upon every wall, and for the possession of which Kings and | Princes have contended, with both Jew and Gentile, and every other sect of religion, tolerant or intolerant, one with the other, who could obtain at any cost those immortal gems that have advertised, from pole to pole, the damnable evidences de- nounced by the tolerant and peaceable Editor of the Protector and Christian Witness. Again, look at the encouragement given to Music by the Catholics, and which we Protestants have had too much good sense to spurn. Witness the im- | perishable works of such men as Handel, Mozart, Beethoven. _Mendeloshon, &e. If every man thought as lightly of the ‘godlike gifts of such illustrious men as_ the ¢olerant and | sanctified Editor of the Protector, who believes they are 80 ;many instruments in the hands of the Evil One to lead man- | kind to destruction—they would have been smothered in their birth. Does it not seem almost impious that such rare and Godly gifts should be looked upon as wicked, sinful and demo- ralising? Are we not indebted to the Arts and Sciences for civilization, and for advancing the human mind and intellect | to its present proud eminence? And if we are to listen to, ) and believe such doctrine, (we mean the doctrine of our tole- rant Editor of the Protector,) what is to become of man in his reasoning capacity? But we do not believe that mankind ‘can be misled by such narrow-minded, grovelling and debas- ing views as those promulgated by our ‘+ most potent, grave and reverend’’ Editor. The poet says—‘* The mind is the standard of the man ;’’ let us hope, for his sake, the poet was wrong, because we should have need of an oxy-hydrogen mi- eroscope to discover the presence of the man at all, partieu- larly in his editorial capacity. After expressing our opinion, we fear that he will, like Mawworm, at the end, refuse us the assistance of the tails of his reverend coat, by mounting aloft In & spencer,

Protestant Ministers in this Island—who hoped to raise such

a terrible outcry, by misrepresenting the Bishop's letter as an |

invasion of the rights of conscience? Was the object merely to ventilate their No-Popery antipathies—their respective pulpits being too small a field for action—or were they tools in the hands of designing men, to create a religious warfare that might end in the overthrow of the Government? I have

no doubt they had both objects in view; but thanks to the)

good sense of the community, their unholy designs are already

seen through, and they are foiled at the very commencement |

of their mischievous erusade.

As Mr. Fitzgerald seems to be the leader in the holy fray, let me put a question or two to jam. Have you not been a member of the Board of Education since the free school Act came into existence? You know you must answer this question in the affirmative. Then why did you net move in the present

| agitation years ago? The Bible was no more of a class-book

at the commencement of the present system than sinee you tried to raise a storm about the Bishop's letter. You may allege that the Government would be opposed to you in the matter,

but that is no answer, for the Government is opposed to you |

now. But you were a member of the Board of Education during the Hol! and Palmer Administration. If so dreadfully shocked at it now, why did you not even make a movement towards abolishing the ‘* godless ’’ system during that ** sancti- fied ’’ period? Ah, the reason is obvious; you would not jeopardize the Government of your friends for all the Bibles that were ever printed in all the languages of the carth.

An important fact in connection with the Normal School has lately come to my knowledge. The talented young gen- tleman at the head of that institution, has, of his own accord, formed a Bible class, and a lesson in the Scriptures is given once a week to such children as are allowed to receive it, after the hours devoted to secular instruction. This is an improve- ment on the system pursused in the school since Mr. Stark was relieved of his superintendence over it, and shows that instead of the Bishop's letter preventing religious instruction being given where desired, without prejudice to Catholics, every school in the country is free to impart it. All his Lordship asked or desired was, that the system to be pursued should not be prejudicial to those whose spiritual affairs are committed to his charge—that. in short, Catholics should not be compelled to read a version of the Bible of which they could not approve. me the Catholic Bishop. He has done

The enterprising owner has reason to be thankful that so small a portion of his property has been destroyed where there was so much in danger. Had the high wind of the previous day prevailed, it is difficult to say where the conflagration would have ended. How it originated has not been ascertained.

Tur House of Assembly and Legislative Council have been adjourned from Friday last up to next Thursday, owing to the

unavoidable absence of the Hon. the Speaker of the Assembly, and several members of both Houses, whose presence was re- quired at the Georgetown Court, now sitting. The parliamen-

‘tary proceedings up to Thursday night were not of such im- portance as to require particular notice here.

We have received a letter from the Rev. George Sutherland, stating that the report of his speech at the Bible meeting was

incorrect. It may beso. it was not our intention to give a full report of the speeches. Our space would not admit of it. And in the effort to condense, some statements may have had a meaning imparted to them somewhat different from that which the speakers intended. But at the same time we must observe, that at the meeting referred to, so many foolish things were said, under the influence of the burning zeal which actu- | ated the majority of the reverend declaimers, that it is very /natural for some of them to forget, and quite disagreeable to

see in print, several sentiments attributed to them. We are

;not prepared to say whether this observation should apply in

i

all its force to Mr. Sutherland’s speech ; i¢ may haye been in- _correctly reported, and we therefore willingly give the follow-

Wepnespay, 4th March. The Hon. ATTORNEY GENERAL introduced a Bill | for preventing fraud by secret Bills of Sale of personal pro-| er He explained that the Bill was the same which he! ad introduced last year, and which had passed this House, but had been rejected by the House of Assembly, for what | reasons he could not say ; but during the recess, instances had_ come to his knowledge which formed the strongest arguments | in favor of the measure. The object of the Bill was merely to authorize the holder of a Bill of Sale to protect his in-. terests by having it filed in the Office of the Prothonotary, in the County wherein the party giving the Bill resides. he cost attending the filing would form no practical bar to the working of the measure, as the only expense would be a few shillings. The Bill contemplated tire proof of the Instrument | by the oath of the attesting witness, who would be entitled to receive his reasonable expenses. his Bill did not render it obligatory on the party holding the security to register it. | He need not, unless he chose to do so, avail himself of the | provisions of the Bill, which merely had for its object the. protection against fraud of those who might feel themselves disposed to guard their property from dishonesty. Without some such measure, there is no security affurded to the inno- cent holder of a Bill of Sale, if the party who has executed it may be disposed to rob him, as a subsequent transfer may deprive him of the security he has taken. * Tee Hon. Attorney General also introduced an Act to ens

able the Supreme Court of Judicature to give relief against |

lar circumstances. But the scope and tendency of his letter has been yilely misrepresented, in order to gratify the morbid feelings of a fw gloomy Bigots, and serve political ends. I remain, sir, your obedient servant, A PROTESTANT AND MEMBER OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND. Charlottetown, March 7, 1857.

[COMMUNICATED. ]

When Christians, in all humility and meekness of spirit, seek the Protector, they know where to address themselves, in all humbleness, to the Great Father of mankind, who has taught all to approach his throne, and with true contrition and repentance, apply for it, through the intercession of a blessed Redeemer. We have, however, it seems, another Protector, in @ new publication, in the form of a Publie Journal,

erend Divines, not two of whom agree upon the fourm or ritual of the Christianity they profess; and edited by a Reverend and dismal fanatic, who denies immortality to any who will not submit to his views and dictum as te its attain- ment; one who denounces in the most unforgiving spirit all who will not subscribe to his doctrines, and admit there is no road to Heaven but through him. Had this Reverend and would-be Editor confined his spiritual instruction to those who

wished to receive it, and were willing to pay him for explain-

ing to them his very tolerant, liberal, meck and lowly notions of Christ’s doctrines, nobody would have noticed him; but when he professes, in his first editorial, ‘ to manifest a spirit of toleration to ail,’’ and in the same sentence is led to oppose any system of priestcraft and superstition, or to speak of their
