compensation to ‘sanada in return for fishing privileges conceded to citizens of the United States by the Treaty of Washs ington. Mr. Brown is the last man in the Dominion who should have been sent on sueh a mission. Apart from an over- bearing temper, which renders him totally unfit for diplomacy, the Dictator to the present Dominion Administration, possesses neither the knowledge of, nor the interest in, our fisheries which a euc- cessful negotiator must possess.

These sections contain the leading prin-

ciples of the bill by which the Govern

ment propose to finally settle the Land Question, That, taken altogether, it is a good bill, there, we think, no doubt ; that a better might be framed might, we think, he demonstrated. Its most objectiouable feature iv that of arbitration, Arbitra-

|} tion means doubt, and delay, and com-

plication. There is danger in it. Possi- bly some two or three years hence, our,

| isnot probable that we shall ever again |

have Mr. Haythorne 2s Leader of our

Provincial Government, and it is utterly impossible that such another one as he)

should ever again hold the reins of power

in this Island,—or it might be that some |

future Premier would commit the crime of writing to the arbitrators and threat- ening them that their awards may have to be explained and defended in Parlia- ment. The fact that such a thing has been done, should, however, be sufficient to warn our legislators, and to render them exceedingly careful how they legis- late respecting the appointment of the duties and the control of arbitrators. Doubtless, in view of the disgraceful act which has recently been brought to light, our Government have already well con- sidered this difficulty. Still, we think, the people of the Island would feel more se- eure if the element of arbitration were not contained in the Bill at all. Would it not be possible to frame a measure on the principle contained in the of fer of Heuary J. Cundall, Esquire? Could not the rent roll of an estate be taken as a criterion of its value; anda principal sum be given by the Govern- ment which, at five or six per cent, (as might be deemed fair) would yield inter- est equal to the anaual rental? Could not 2 per centage on all arrears due, and a price at which unleased wilderness lands shall be taken, be fixed by the Lezisla- ture? We think it could; and we think this course would pot be more unjust to proprietors than the course proposed in the bill. The proprietor’s property is not so much in the land, as in the rent de- rived from it. The land he has, with his own hand, alienated for a period (in the majority of eases) of nine hundred and ninety-nine years. So long as the rent is paid, he is satisfied. He does not care

THE COMMERCIAL COLLEGE.

To any friend of our educational institu. _ tions, a visit to the * Commercial College,’’ lately estatlished here, could not fail to | prove interesting. Its management does ; not consist in the ordinary stereotyped | school routine to which most of us have | | been accustomed. There is none of the | | sameness or repetition of lessons or lectures | according to given theories or favorite au- | thors; neither are the students classified | according to either supposed or real quali- fications or attainments. Properly speak~ | ing, no text-book is depended on, so that the student’s memory is rot strained with either extraneous matter or unnecessary mgntal labor, but he glides smoothly, and almost unconscious of actual progress — through the supposed intricacies of book- | keeping, from the simplest entry of a bona Jide business transaction to the apparently | laborious completion of a balance-sheet. To one only acquainted with the dry theory of the science, the course of instruction in the Commercial College wears an entirely | new aspect; Here is an active business community, engaged in all kinds of mer cantile avocations—so far as business trans- actions are concerned—buying, selling, ex- changing, dealing in commissions, specu, | lating, making partnerships, dissolving them, dealing in stocks and banking.—in | short, getting actual practice in all that per. tains to a complete business education, | We have used the term, “ bona fide business | transaction.” This is literally correct. For, by means of a system of tickets, represent~ | ing the actual market or current values of | the different kinds of merchandize, every | student begins by buying or selling these | either to or from a fellow-student, or to or | from the teachers of the College, who, for | the more perfect working of their system, and for becoming more intimately acquaint. | ed with the capacities of their ssudents, freely and unreservedly mix themselves up with the pratical business of the institution, and without in the least sacrificing their |
