| Mr. Havitayp had hoped that no opposition would have been made to the motion. Even if £5000 had been collected ‘out of doors, that fact should have no influence on the Llouse, the members of which he hoped would, in their Legislative capac ty, augment the sum raised for the unhappy widows and orphans.

Hon, F. Loxawoutn coincided with the last speaker, and added that they who had subseribed liberally from their ' private means would have no objection to a public appropria- ‘tion, while they who had declined to contribute should be made to do so indirectly by the Legislative grant.

Hon. Mr. Wicarman repudiated tho idea of taking the amount of private subscriptions as a guide to the House in fixing (he amount to be voted in supply. At a numerously attended meeting at Murray Harbor, on the subject, not only did the people subscribe very liberally, but expressly authorized their representatives to vote for a public grant. In looking over the newspapers, he found that the sums sub- serited by individuals in the Island bore a greater proportion to their means, than was shewn by the returns of some parts of the Mothor Country, where greater personal interest must naturally be felt in the case. .

Hon. Mr. Mooney deprecated all allusion to the neigh- bouring Culonies—Prinee Edward Island had been treated very differently from them. They had cause for gratitude to the British Government, but this Island was down-trodden by the Imperial Authorities, and the method now proposed of augmeuting the fund, by taxing the people who did nct zhoose to contribute and rendered the term * Patriotic” a misnomer.

Hon. Mr. Warserton thought that the amount roised elsewhere was no criterion fur the House. He could speak

opposed to the grant, and from his knowledge of his con- sticuen’s, can state their wish that the grant should bea liberal one.

Motion then agreed to, that the Commission be referred to | the Committee of Supply.

Hon. Mr. Wicurman moved the appointment of a Com- mittee on Public Accounts. The fullowing gentlemen were appointed: Wightman, McDonald, Perry, Whelan, Long- worth, Clarke and Haviland,
