Public Lands.

‘Tus Report of the Commissioner of Public (fon. Joseph Pope) gives the fellowing the

Land particulars about the public lands ef Province

‘At theclose of the year 1578, the aggre- gate quantity of Land which had been ac- quire’ by the Provincial Government from tims to time amounted to 850,042} acres, to which wasadded by purchase during the past year, on Lownship No. 13, 996 acres, at a cost of $3,195.28; as alsothe remainder of the Travers-Hellin Nstate on Lot 3, consisting of 740 acres, for which the Commissioner, under the Land Purchase Act, 1875, awarded the sum of $2,300, now placed at interest by the Government for the legal ciaimant; making a tetal of $51,779 acres.”

‘* The sales during the past year amount to 37,2614 acres. for which the sum of 358,533. 5 has been agreed to be paid, being an average rate of $1.58 per acre.”

**The sotal amount received on acceunt of the above sales, and for and on account of previous purchases—including prices of Deeds

-paid into the Treasury for 1579 is $44,973. 35, exclosive of a refund of $6.01.

‘“'The number of Deeds executed including Muplicates with Plans attached number 1254, fer which the sum cf $1,009 was paid; the cnantity of land eonveyed amounts te 42,820} 2 res.

‘he number of accounts closed out dur- ing the year is 67 in Prince County, 53 in Queen's, and 17 in King’s ; in all 137.

‘Phe redaction of two clerks from the staff of the office from the Ist July to the 3lst October rendered it impossible to keep pace with the requirements of the purchasers of jiods, 1a furnishing them with their Deeds, which they are all anxious te get on the pay ment of their first inetalment, as the Assistant Commivsioner, who for the last two years has devote the chief portion of his time te the preparstion of Deeds and Plans, was obliged to take charge of the Books, which from the numbes and magnitude of the accounts re- quired from the Department, is quite as much «8 any first-class accountant and book- keeper can well accomplish. There are still separate Ledger Protit and Less Ac- count: to be kept up with the separate Matates, and 5,847 accounts bearing interest, with persons who have purchased lands from the Government, on which there was due on the Sist December last an aggregate balance af $591,956.51,

"Phe Assistant Commissioner and the (hief Surveyor attended, as in former years, in Pr ice and King’s Counties; the amount recely et from the former was $3,970.55 at a eost of 3103.54; and from King’s the amount of $1, 470.77, at a cost of $59.10. As between two and three weeks of the busiest season of the year is occupied in these visits in each of the months of November and December, to the

over ;

we understand, ‘the very imperfect Plans in this office; but I

trust that the importance of the subject will be deemed a sufficient excuse for my continu ing te urge this indispensable service upon the attention of the Government.

‘The detention of the Counterparts of Leases of Lands on Lots 7, 10, 12, 46 and 47, retained by Mr. Bruce Stewart with the sanc- tion of the Supreme Court, for the purpose of his being enabled to collect the current years rent due to him up to 1875, has been and still continues to be the cause of much inconven- ience to this Department ; it is next to impos- sible to ascertain the validity of claims set up by occupiers or parties who claim the right to purchase without having the original title, if one exists, to refer to. As more than sufficient time has elapsed for the recovery of the rent due to 1875, no legal objection can be pre- sumed to exist for the delivery of these im- portant decuments, as well as all the Rent Ledgers to the Government, in terms of the original purchase; more particularly as no further sales of land on these Townships, or Township Number 30, can safely be made un- til these titles, etc., are handed over.

‘‘f have also to report that J. R. Bourke, late proprietor of Lot 37, has not furnished this

Township purchased from him, and that no plan of Lot 37 is in this office, consequently no zale of vacant land can safely be made until a survey of the lot is procured.

‘*The estimated quantity of land now on hand, including that held by leaseholders and occupiers, who have not yet purchased or at. torned, is 210,2584 acres.

‘*The importance of the numerous Fishing Establishments around the coast of this Island, would seem to require a greater share of pub-

on one ef our most prominent Industries or branches of Trade.

‘The practice for several years past has- been to grant to applicants, on the paymentof | twenty shillings per year, a license to occupy a | portion ot the shore front for the erection of Stages and Stores for the use of persons en-| gaged in the Fisheries ; but moderate as these charges are, there are many persons who have neglected to comply with these easy terms, and monopelized the best situations, and have sub-iet portions of them at greatly enhanced rates, whilst others who dasire to found estab- lishments are excluded.

‘‘A special report was furnished by me to the late Government which was approved of and an order given to have the stations sur- veyed and placed under such regulations for the exclusive use of the Fisheries as would insure the uninterrupted enjoyment of the space allotted to each, and that the small rent charge should he enforced, for the sole pur. pose of deiraying the unavoidable expense at tending the same. ‘The season was so far ad vanced before this order could be carried into effect, that it was not deemed advisable to in terfere witli existing arrangements during las? season, especially as the depression in busi- ness so generaliy felt might be considered a valid reason for deferring any change to «

more convenient pericd. I am _ still of opinion that the subject might be again reviewed by the Govern-

ment and measures taken this season to es- tablish preper regulations ; of course all exist- ing grants should be respected. Many of ths stages have been swept away by the late gales, and the present is a favorable opportunity for defining these boundaries ; besides, severe] applieations have been made to me recently by persons wishing to carry on the Lobster and other fishing business.”’

The Meeting at Keily’s Cross.

We learn that the meeting at Kelly’s Croas, last night, was very unanimous in faver of the Commissioner of Public Works. Nearly three hundred persous were present, and seareely anyone belonging to the Dis- triet showed the slightest epposition to tre reelsction of the Hon. Wm. Campbell. Mr. W. C. Lea and Mr. John Lawson, however, did their little best. We are in- formed the latter went so far as to make 2a very violent attack upon His Honor the Lieutenant Governor, calling him an old Tory, and declaring that the Government are playing into his hands. Had such an atiack been made by a person supposed to know any- thing at all about the position of a Lieut.- Governor, or to have any regard whatever for the amenities of life, it could only be described as dastardly. But coming from the zource it did, it is, of course, hardly worth noticing. On behalf of the Govern- ment, the meeting was addressed by R. B. Stewart, jr., Esq., John Bradley, Enq , tebert Shaw, Esq.,Hon. Mr. Campbell and Hon. Mr. Sullivan. Reselutions in fayor of the Local Government and the returr. of Hon. Mr.Campbell were enthusiastically ad- opted,

Svecial Dispatch to the Examiner, Orraw4, March 16.

At the opening of the House to-day nearly every member was in his place. Sir John Macdonald, in a voice tremulous with @:notion, arose, and asked the Houso to ad- journ, expressing the shock with which he, yosterday, heard of Mr. Holton’s death, Fie and deceased liad never beon of the suine party, but throughout there long career in public life, they had ever been fastfriends. It was arranged some years azo that the House should not adjourn on tae death of members, but in very excep- tonal cases. He knew how great a loss to tae Liberal party his death was, and how deeply it would be felt and deplor- ed, that the loss to the House and to the country would be as great. looking at his sudden departure he could adopt the dying words of one of England's raeat illustrious sons, ‘What shadows we are, and what shadows we pursue.” Mr. }deKenzie, still more deeply affected, re- plied, joining in the just tribute then paid to the great words of one who was no more. ‘The loss was too great, and ho felt himeelf overcome with emotion, unable to proceed. Mr. Laurier, Mr. Wright (of Ottawa), Mr. Uangevin, Mr Coursel, Mr. Gault, Mr Bechard, Mr. Plumb, Mr. Mouseau and nany others paid eloquent tributes. The House adjourned,
