Mr DAVIES.—One of the principal objections offered to the purchase of Lot 54 by the Government appears to be that there are no receipts from it ; this, however, should not be expected,as it has but recently come into their possession. The question with the Gevernweat was whether the land

ought t be purchased by them, o¢ be allows] to go iuto the the people in ignorance of the fact. I have heard that two or three themselves after they began their labors were evidently most parties were desirous to procure the property, and if it had idesirous to sift the whole question, been disposed of to eitker of these persons, the Government did that much honor to the liberal party or the Tenantry would probably never again have the oppor- | Hensley ove of the Counsel for the tenantry.

We have been told by the hon. member that we have violat- ed the constitution of the Colony ; but where was the violation of the constitution when beand his party were in power, and the eredit of the country was ata lowebd? Treasury warrants | were given in a subordinate offive at a discount, and known to be taken in some instances by the party immediately to

the Treasurer's office where the sum on the face of the war- rant was demanded and cbtained. A person also was des- patched to Haifsax to eudeavor to procure money, if vot

vtherwise, by disposing of warrants at a discount ; and there was no law empowering them to negotiate Government loans We ware necemitated to consent te a rise of

below par. interest or to decline ta purchase of the estates; and when we consider that Treasury warrants were bearing six per cent., it is unreasonable to suppose that debenturesat a lower rate eould be negotiated, A capitalist would be a fool if he found it possible to obtain six per cent for his money on government security for ten years to lead it on the same security at five percent. With respect to the action of the late Government in raising the interest on Warrants when that om debentures was left anchanged, the hon. member will not find a prece- dent in any country ; and I contend that in this matter they committed a public fraud. he objection, hewever, to the

no individual interests were made to suffer. 1 was surpris- ed to hear the public morality of the hon. member, when he stated thatif the Opposition had come into power they would have repudiated the Warrants thus issued by the Go- Verpment.

Hon. Mr. COLES —I did not state that they would have

repudiated them, but they might bave done so).

Lion. Mr. HAVLILAND.—To even bint of such a course |

shows what respect he entertains for the public credit. I am astonished that such a remark should have fallen from one who has occupied so high a position in the Colony. For one party going into power to discard the engagements made in public fuith by those whom they displaced, is unknown in the history of legsiation. He raised objections to the pur-

‘ebase of Lot 54 because it was liable to be escheated, and

was only a fit p'ace for frogs. The title of this Lot is, I be- lieve, the only one which has been brought before a jury of Prince Edward Is'anders, and they decided it to be valid. And though I am unuble to state the description of land on which frogs are alwa;s found, yet [ have the best aathority for saying that wheiher they are numerous on Lot 54 or not, the soil there is of « very good quality. The Government are assailed for paying a higher rate fur this Township than for the Selkirk estate ; but if they had not agreed to aceept the offer at £2000, other parties were prepared to step in and take possession ; then the Government would have been

‘charged with neglecting opportunities, and the hon. leader

of the Opposition would have been the very first to raise the |

When my triend on the left, Mr. Cooper, was proceeding with his evidence, he was interrupted by the Col- onial Secretary with soine statement about a clause in an old | Act, which he said could be proved, by reference to the manu- 'script Journals of the House, and when the particular journal ‘was enquired for, it was ascertained to be at the Uolonis) Secretary's own house, who had carried it from the Clerk's office, out of which no document of the kind should be taken. | Auother case of opposition to parties desirous of furnishing jinformation to the Commissioners was that experienced by some delezates who applied to the Goveroment for documents contain'ng statistics ia reference to the number of paypers, | &ec., and their request was never attended to. | Hoa.

Mr. JOHN YEO, Chairman of the Committee of the ‘whole House on the draft Address in answer to the Lieut. _Governer’s speech, reported that the Committee had gone through the Address paragraph by paragrap, and had ad- opted the same without amendment; and the said Address | was again read by the Clerk, and ie as follows :—

The seventh paragraph of the Address being again read, Hon. Mr. Whelan moved to ameod the same by expunging ‘the whole and inserting the following :— “ We regret that the Culonial Minister has not seen fit to resent for tue Royal assent the Bill passed last Session, to give effect ta the award of the Commissiouers.

The motion of amendment having been put,was lost by the

| The eighth paragraph having been read,Ifon. Mr. Whelan (moved in ameniment that the whule be expunged, aud the tollowing substituted : —

* We regret that your Excellency found it impossible toe | negotiate the Deben'ures which the Luw authorised to be issued for the purchase of the Seikirk Ksiate, and that Trea- vsury Warrants bearing a higher per centage were used for ‘that purpose. We regret more partieularly that such a course /as this was pursued, especially as we bave heard that War- rants were also issue! for the purchase of Lot fifty four—a purchase which the Ifouse of Assembly did not authorize.

The Efouse of Assembly cannot help remarking that such a course as this, so contrary to law, and so subversive of the j rights aud privileges of Parliament, is extremely dangerous, }and calculated to destroy confideuce in the Government who adopt it.” | When the House divided the motion of amendment was | megatived, aud the motion that the paragraph be agreed to, | carried, as above.

On the ninth paragraph being read, Hon. Mr. Whelan |

/ moved the following in awendment :— | * We rejoice to learn that the purckase of the Selkirk Es-

tate hus been atteuded with satisfactory results. From this /we may confidently hope that the great utility and necessity }of the Land Purchase Bill will be further acknowledged by ‘the purchase of any other Kstates that may be vffered to the /Government on terms a3 advantageous as those on which the | Selkirk property was secured.”

NEW BRUNSWICK AFFAIRS.

Hon. Mr. COLWS.—Well, an arrangement was made with the Bank last year to receive money from it; and we eannot tell to what purpose it is applied.
