In the Address itsel! the whole subject was exheusted in a very able aud argu- nientative manuer, It was wot possible for the Executive Council, by any addwions! arguments which they could use, to render it weightier, or to make it in any way move wortby the favorable cousileration of Her Majesty. or ol Her Majesty's Advisers, than it was. !

| Hon.

The Despatch of the Dake of Neweastle does | not say to an Executive Counc, * You are uot to trouble | yourselves aboat the private Despatches of the Lieut.

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

} Bill for the Regulation of the Militia and Volunteer Forces.

} (Debate continued.) Hon. Mr. Ramsay; I think it is very well tosay ten days in the bill, but the time they will be called out will be re- gulated very much by the signs of the times. If an enemy i8 threatening to invade the Colony, of evurse they will be jealled out more frequently than they would otherwise be, | bat Ido not apprehend that they will be called out ten | days in the year ip ordinary times, perbaps not more than | two or three. } Hon. Mr. Henperson: His honor from Bay Fortune (Mr. Dingwell) is inclined to guard the people’s mghts, and we |shoald ali be disposed to do that ; but [ would remind his | honor that it is very possible tobe penny wise and pound }foolish. His honor from Prince County (Mr. Ramsay) has very properly observed that the namber of days the Militia , would be called out would be regulated very much by the jsigns of the times,or the ciremstances of the ease. LT do | bot think any right minded man, who has the defence of | bis country ina time of danger in view, would object to be- ling called out a few days extra for the purpose cf being jdrilied. And] would remiod your honors that when the Cowmander-in-Chief dues not see any necessity for it they ;way not be called out more than three days in the year

| Of course itis for the purpose of self defence, and to show ; the mother Country that we are not to be treated as ehil- dren, and to be tacked on to Canada by Confederation. It is our duty to prepare to defend the honor of our Flag, and jul the British Crown It will go to strengthen the arga- | ments aginst eonfederation, and show that no person, or j class of persons, should pat their feet upon our necks and drive us into & position which would end in beggary.

| Hon Arty. Gey. : [ean easily account for the views of |his honor from Bay fortune (Mr. Dingwell.) It is very | natural fe> us to be sensitive when we come to that part of | the bill which is intended to act as a barden upon the people. | When such bills are brought before us, it behoves us to take | them imto grave and serious consideration. We are sup- }posed to be old and experienced legisiators—the grave. | deliberative Senators of the Colony —who are here to guard }wnd protect the interests of the people, and to prevent any- thing burdensowe, either by way of taxes or personal ser | vice : and | confess tnat it would be with great reluctance ) { would concent to any burden which necessity did not earn- jestly demand. His honor alludes to the increase of tax ation, and from the experience bis honor possesses in the country, and amongst the people, it is very proper for him, pand all of as, to guard ther mghts. But 1 do not think this \tull proposes to place any unnecessary burdens upon the people. I think it is absolutely necessary that the Militia should be brought to some degree of efficiency, but at the seme time | do not think the provisions of this bili will be ar- bitrarily insisted upon, and even if we are, it 1s for the wel- | ‘are of the people themselves. Therefore, making every al- |} lowance for the nature and circumstances of the case, [ am jtully inclined to go tu the extent of the tendays. I know the people are very jealous throughout the Colony of @ measure jul this kind. A Militia bill is never a popular one, but | what are we to do. We cannot sit dowh und fold our arms. and expect other persons to protect us from agresston and danger. It is incompatible with our position as British sub jects to du so. It is very proper to show the people, and |with the influence which his honor has among them he |should endeavour to show them that it is for their own be- jnefit. ft should be pointed oat to the people that it is really necessary, and that would divest it in a great measure vf that unpopularity which attaches to it. The people should be made to understand that the more efficient each man becomes in the ase af arms, the more valuable he be- comes to the coantry at large. ‘Take an illustration : say a Company of Militia was brought into action ; it greatly strengthens self-protection to be more perfectly trained in the use of arms. Say a company is brought inte action who are perfect in their drill aod manuvers, they are capable of des- troying the enemy who cunfrouts them, and the sooner the enemy 18 destroyed the sooner ts the danger to themselves les-

firing will be vasteady, their shots scattered and ineffective,

jand the danger will be increased. Therefore, ‘the more | petfect a man tecomesin the use of arms, the greater de- tence does he ‘become to bimsel€ and those beside him. | These things should be explained to the people, and they would then see that they wvuuld serve their own interests | best by submitting ty an earrying out the intention of the law.

Hon. Mr. Yeo: We should guard against unnecessary training. At the time of the war with France, the Militia were called vut to drill fur a month, and thus a great dea! of time was spent to no purpose. It is only folly for men to be losing their time and labor if they have not arms. [ huve no objection to their being called out to drill if it is necessary. providing they are supplied with arws.

Hon. Mr. Dixewet.: Perhaps his honor’ who has just spukew will inform us whether it is the intention of the G>- vernment to arm the Militia ; fur { agree with him that to eall men out without aris is a mere farce. A great deal of sime may be spent in this way, for though they way only be called out for an hour and a half, yet perhaps they will not return to their work for # whole day. Now, if you want to make the Melitia creditable tothe country, you must arm them ; and as there are three members of the Government present, | _would like to know if it is theie intention to doso. -{ have | heard a military gentleman in the other branch of the Legis- lature say that arms and accuutrewents fur each man would

jcost about £6 15s., and if we are to go to that expense in jarming the Militia, [ do not know where the money is to | comme frum. On the other hand, if we do notaria them, what | 8 the use of calling them out to drill, to the wegleet of their proper avocations? That is the reason I wish to lessen. the time they will be liable to be called out. [ would be willing }ty show our loyalty, but L do not think it is vecessary to spend so much tuwe, nur do I think it is any eredit to the cvuntry to baye a aumber of men running about the fields | With sticks in ther hands. [lewever, if your honors wisit to | pass the bill as it is, I will not object to it, though L would | rather see the time shortened. Perhaps it will not be all re- quired, L am sure none of us have so little sense, as to siy

that if is any service to the country to have a number of wen | called out withvut arms. We aad a body of nen armed who were a credit as well as a protection to the country, but their arms have been taken from them.

LAND ASSESSMENT BILL.

On motion of the Hon. Mr. MeDonald, a bill for the set- tlement of doubts that bave arisen relative to titles of lands sold under the land assessment act, was read a second time and committed.

Hon Mr. Anperson: It is said that the titles are not le- yal. on account of the land not been properly advertised We see 46,000 acres proclaimed for non-payment of tux last | year, besides town lots, common Jota, and water lots.

For instance, where a sheriff advertizes land to be sold, he advertizes so much on such a township. ts considered, amounts to no notice at all of particular in- dividuals, because it does not say where the land is situated, —whether on this side of a River or on that side; whether front land or rear land. The spirit of the act is not com- plied with ; for when the sheriff is ordered to advertize land, | it is intended to meet the eye of the man owning it; and to | say 1000 acres on Lot 8 or Lot 9, or whatever Lot it may be. is no notice to the owner, for he cannot tell whether it 1s bis land or not. Consequently, he does not get notice till his land is taken away trum him. In fact, the sheriff himesel! dves not know whether there is such land, for there is often adiffsrence in the arca of Townships, and disputes about boundary lines.

The law, as laid down there, is very applicable to this Colo- ny ; and I have understood that the learned Judse who de-| cided the case referred to was guided very much by decisions in the United States, where the practice is uniform.

Hon. Mr. Henpenson: I think it will cause a great deal of trouble and expense to require the Sheriff to advertize the land by metes and bounds. The present act says the land is to be defined on the day of sale. If the land is to be adver- | zed by metes and bounds, aman may wituhold the payment jof his tax till the Sheriff gets at surveyed. Every man | knows whut towns’.ip he is living on, and he knows that, if | he has not paid his tax, bis land is liable to be sold.

A lawsuit was the consequence, and he lost not voly the amount he paid the Sheriff, but a large amount be- sides, This bill does not spevify that the Sheriff is to sell by metes and bounds, nor do I see that it gives more trouble than at present.

Hon. Mr. Anperson: Suppose 1,000 acres were proclaim. ed on one Township, wust the Sieriff survey the whole of it? When it comes to be sold, 100 acres might pay the whole demand against it.

Hon. Arry. Generat: It will be perceived that this bill merely affects lands whieh have been sold. It confirms the titles, provided all other requisites of the proceedings have been complied with. It does not compel the Sheriff to ad. vertize by metes and bounds, but leaves the law as it was be- fore in that respect. Lt is only the decision of the Judge that would lead us to suppose that it would be necessary for the Sheriff to act more cautiously than formerly. It is merely the decisiun of the Jude. and that is never consider- ed a final decision of the law. lt may be that the Sheriffs will still ge on as formerly.

Hon. Me. Yeo: | think some amendment of the law is re- quired, for the Sheriff bas great difficulty in finding the ladd, and in some cases it is impossible for him todo so. ‘This bilk merely confirms the titles which have been given, and leaves the law as it was before.

lon. the Peesipenr: There i@ great difficulty, no doubr, for the Sheriff cannot tell whether a farm belongs to this manor that ; but this bill dues not interfere with that ques. tion.

ion, Mr. Ramsay: True, this bill has nothing to do with that question Sut L would call the attention of the Govern- | ment to the fact that a considerable amount of land tax is due vo some Townships, and remains unpaid from year to year. In Prince County, where large amounts are due, there has been little, if any, land sold for two years On Loz 9, f see that 2443 acres are proclammed, but the Sheriff) cannot find it. In this way there is aloss of a considerable | amount of tax, which should be paid. The only way to find
