MONDAY, March 1.

Hon. Mr. HOLL moved the third reading of Bill relating to Incorporate bdius; this accomplished, his Honor moved that said Bill do pass, which was agreed to. Message from House of Assembly by Hon. Mr. Coles, an- nouncing that that body had passed the following Bills-—‘l‘o orise the Royal Agricultural Society to export the Blood Horse Saladin-to secure Compensation to Tcnsntsin P. E. Island and to prevent Accidents by Fire; to all of which the concurrence of the Council is dcsired—-these Bills were seve- rally read. Hon. Mr. HOLL, then moved, that the Bill to incorporate the people in P. E. Island, called Bible Christians, be coin- mitted to a Committee of the whole House; which was agreed to, and his Honor called to the chair; after some little progress was made, a essago was announced from the House of As- sembly, when the Committee rose, reported progress, and ob- tained leave to sit again.

Mr. THORNTON. IIe knew that the additional land-tax I'0tIlG_fIII heavily upon many the first year; and, with respect to any general tax, it was. perhaps, impossible so to legislate, at any time, that it should not be oppressivcly felt by some individuals. That consideration, however, ought not to be allowed to weigh so far with the House, as to induce them to abandon the imposition of a tax, when it was quite evident, to every reasoning lnIlld,Ifl“'. the benefits which would result from the application of it, would be such, as, beyond all pro- iortion, to ovsrbalance, even with respect to those who were the least able to pay it, any hardship or inconvenience which the levying of it might, at first, occasion to them. Where an individual tvas now compelled to pay 205. a year for the school- ing cf one chilrl, or 30:. for that of one and a ha|f—(for in such a way were they now often obliged to subscribe to raise a salary for a teacher)—he might, under the operation of the contemplated scheme, have four, five, or even ten children, If

ycar. He knew very well that many, amongst the poorer class of the tenantry, actually dreaded the imposition of any additional land tux, however laudable the intention with which it might be imposed. But, with respect to that at present contemplated for the purposes of education, he was persuaded that, if God should so far favor them, with respect to their crops, as that they should be able to pay it, without difficulty, the first year, they would clearly perceive that the benefits to themselves, arising from the payment of 105. in that way, were

Msssa e by Mr. M'Aulsy intimation that the Assembly bad pissed a Bill, to prohibit Swine and Geese from running at all seasons; and Horses at certain seasons of the year, in the squares and streets of Georgetown, in which the Council was requested to concur. Bill read.

The Bill to incorporate the Bible Christians, was again taken up by the whole House, and progressed in with little comment till the clause authorising the trustees oftliat body, to elect

to fill vacancies in the trustecship required by the act of incorporation, when _ Hon. Mr. SWABEY demurrcd to the passing of the clause “‘ ll‘ Pffllont shape, Itstiiig ifthe House pass this clauss,it will be in opposition to all the modern improvements in legislation: the close borough system of England had, as is well known, long since been exploded; yet the power sought liy this clause. was similar to that in the old system. and appeared designed to make a family perpetuation of the allies co; the House. V therefore, is his opinion, would be going ottt of its way, if the clause were sanctioned; acts of incorporation, were designed to confer benefit: on the parties requesting them: consequently, -should contain no powers that might be used to cause injury. Hon. Mr. HBNSLEY thought,ss it was considered necess-

much the same, as if ten times the amount had been put into their pockets in return for it. It might be true, as the lion. member for Belfast (Mr. Duuse) had said, that many of them

lllr. DAVIES also approved of ovidiag it home for the Indians; which he thought might be allott them. lIe he that both the Indians and the Acudiuns would, at length, fin that they were not for otten.

Mr. lg.-\Ll\IER did not alto thcr ap ve of the hon. Speaker's proposition in favor of the c.idian rench. He thought many others had equal claims, particularly the Indians: in line, he thought it s reproach to the country, that they had been so long neglected.

Ilon. Mr. I’0I’I‘1 said, it would not be it matter of great dilliculty to give 500 acres of land for the Indians, as there were lands not tslten up, now the property of the Government.

Mr. CLARK observed, that it should be borne in mind, that the Acndians had been the first to clear the land front which they were afterwards driven. It should also be remembered, that they were a people fond of locating together. He would be glad also to see the Indians ovided with a situation which they could call their own, and no onger obliged to trespass our whites, as they called

them.

Mr. FRASER advocated the setting a price upon the land at which it would be likely to be taken up.

After considerable discussion relative to the future upset prices, the report of the Committee was agreed to, and is as follows:—

" our Committe to wliotii was referred the Account Sales of Crown Lands, have to report, that the following is the quantity of land vested in the Government of this Island, on the 3lst day of 15, 5,243 acres, No. 55, 2,540

Town Lots 67; Georgetown Royalty Pasture l.ots 92, Town Lots I32. our Committee suliniit, that the lands which were sold in I851, amounted in value to £ll9 Os. 7.d; of which amount only .l.‘II 9s. 6d. were paid, and the remaining sum of £101 is. Id. became due nd able,—the one-half on the Bret da of January, I8“, and the other laalfwill be due on the first day oflaiiuury. 1853; and the amount of expenses nttendiq the said sales alter being taxed, was £21 I'Is.—Your Committee submit, that the mode in which Crown Lands are disposed of at resent. seems too ex naive and incon- venient; and, therefore, recommend that the Crown Lands on Lot I5, be disposed ofat the upset price of four shillings per acre, and that the Government be authorized to dispose of the same, on appli-

werc not able, and, what was inure. not willing to pay their rents: but when they should once he ronviriced of tho benefits arising: to tlieiriselves from the new system of cducatinii, few, indeed, among them, he was persuaded, would be found tti object to the payment of the very moderate land assessment necessary for its support. 'I‘lie expense of such {system cottld not, possibly, appear otherwise than light to a man with a family of six or eight children, when he could have them all educated at the rate of six bushels of oats per snnum. e fully approved of the general principles of the measiire——tht~ details would be considered when they came to d? with it in the shape ofa Bill—‘and he 00nsld¢l’9d'Il the cal .etieap pm; ticaible mode of providing good school education for all the children in the Colony. The mode suggested by‘ the Temper- ance Petitioners of Lot 18, appeared to him to be quite iinpos- sible, even should the Legislature. with a view to its adoption, agree to increase the duties upon those articles of luxury from the use of which they (the petitioners) themselves refrain. It

would require not £10,000, but £20,000 a year ftir its support:

cation to any of the Acitdittn French, for actual settlement, in tracts

of 50 acres at sncli upset price. And that the lands on 'I‘owtislii

the balance due to the Government. and the sspensea attending tbsp:

same, the residue, ifany, to be paid to the person who first applied for the land, and id part of such p as nioncy.

Your Committee are of opiniiin, that the fullowiii is a fair upset price. and recotrmicnd that the same lr%optsd, wit out any charge for conveyance, viz:

even if the motion of the lion. Treasurer should be successful, '3 was not likely that the law would be strictly enforced in unsettled

arts. P Mr. YBO felt bound to oppose the motion of amendment. It might be very well in towns; but it was var different in the’ country. In the latter, such a restriction would he ruinous to many poor settlers.

Hon. Mr. \‘VAltBUR'I‘0N said, that to the westward a grant number of pigs were kept, which, in the summer and fall, were de- pendent for food upon the fish along the shores, and particularly in the full, npoii the most or beech-iiuts in the wocdsfand, if the were to be prevented from so running at large, and seeking their own subsistence, it would be quite impossible for the gerieriilit of the settlers in that quarter, and indeed is many other quarters o the Island, to keep pigs at all; and the restriction would consequently operate VC injurionsly to the interests of all such settlers.

Mr. M‘N ILL allowed, that In many it would be u benefit if it

could be carried out; but expressed his ears that it would not be so to all. Some few, he said. no doubt would not find ' so. Mr. LAIRD argued to the contrary: Even the few alluded to by the hon. niemlier, he (Hr. Laird) did not doubt. would find i'. to be an advantage in tnatiy respects, if they were com lied to shut up their swine. They might then live in peace with t itair neighbours, and have more time at their disposal for ‘ire profitable employiiient than looking after their stray swine.

Mr. llIOUNI:ZY was for waiting a few years longer. Let it first be seen, said the hon. member, whether or not the petuto crop could be depended upon. Ifthe time should arrive when they could again do end upon them. there would no longer be occasion to us any thing about beech-nuts, though he admitted he had seen mac fine pork produced from that source At present he did set feel incli- ned to eucroacli further on the liberty of the igs. Should the potatoes s sin flourish, he would not as but iis might change, for the or lirutes Illlfilll not thu grunt at be’ ‘ shIt':.

IIon. Mr. C0 BS thought t e time was came to pit an e to the nuisance. Some contended that the pigs did no harm ifconfiricd on the public roads; but let them visit some parts where the roads were all alive with them, and see the damage they dbl, and then their opinions would be changed. Besides, there was just as much danger of their breaking tlirougli the fences frotn the road, as from other places. members might tal a rut Its in the woods, and fish upon the shores, as it reason for thnir opposition; but let the farmers each In down linlf an acre or so of land with clover. and pen their pigs thereon, nnd they would End the benefits In llllfly WE I.
