Ta: im roventent of pttblie education is one ofthn.-to topics that wills ways commend the lttrttlion of all classes of society. use all are equally interested; all, that is to say. all men of sound understanding. are equally anxious to have their chil- dren better educated than themselves. The accumulation of knowledge has. within the last hall‘ century been immense, and it is still going on with rapid and continually accelerating force—-the current is settin: our wsy—end we are just begin- ning to feel the tuotion. We rejoice, therefore, sincerely re- joice. that the subject of Free public oduration is the most prominent among those measures which the Administration are pledxed to carry out : the principle hcintz universally cuucmletl. they will have the advantage of being assisted and ettppttrtrll It all the talent. learning and experience of both sides of both ouses. We charge it, ho A‘nVGl', upon those in llllhttrily as a serious t-rrnr-— to speak in the mildest torms—-Iliat no public intimation of their design to bring forward this important measure. the vvorkins out the details of which will require great consideration, and involve a knowledge of various matters that will directly or indirectly be found to hear o In it, has it kept secret until the last moment. Statistics and local information, mtteh more varied and extensive than can be for- nished by the twenty-four members of the Assombly.oven with tltr knowledge of the members of the Lesislative Council added thereto, will be required. Nor do we make this obser- vation invidtously, for there are always. in every country, individuals who make peculiar branches of knowlege their fa- vorite study. and of consequence, become tier fitted to im-

Colonial Ofloe. It was by putting the resident had tbe'ttoti-' resident, the smell and the great proprietors on the seats foot- tngr that the Royal Assent was secured. It is, however, a it most objectionable mode of taxation, and presses hardest upon those most unable to pay it. However powerful were the reasons for resorting to it at first, and however quietly it has been hitherto borne, tltc moment that it is attempted to be converted into a systematic mode of taxation, and one liable to be enlarged u rt, there will be an attempt made for its entire abolition. be rich and the poor are put upon the same level; tlte new settler iii the woods, liable tua heavy rent with a precarious dependence upon a few acres miserably tilled, with hint who is tlte owner of hundreds in fee simple: to the former, the sum of 25. Id. or 4.w.‘2d., is frequently a much more dtflicult sum to be raised than .62 Is. or £4 2s. would be to the latter; besides lifty ottt of an hundred acres may be unlit for tillage, except at an immense previous outlay. The live per rent. upon the rental of tire proprietors is applied to make up the deficiency. But how is this rent roll to be ascer- tained! Are the proprietors or their agents to be summoned. to declare upon oath what their or their principals‘ rental actu- ally amounts to, or is it to be uessed at! Are they to pay 5 per cent. upon their nominal rental, or is it to be calculated upon the sum really paid by the tenants! Will not tlte cul- ls.-tion of a tax of this description be in reality a onus to those proprietors who ltsve neglected to settle their lands 3 Had all the proprietors taken the same pains, and expetnled the same amount of capital as the Chief Baron Montgomery or tile late Lord Selkirk, there would, we conceive, be no want of a revenue; in that case, the ordinary indirect duties of im- pust and excise would have been amply sufficient for all the wants of the Island. Were the whole Island peopled as fully as Lot 31, we sltottld takes mtich higher stand among otir sister colonies than we do at resent. This mode of raising a revenue is replete with diflicu ty. A trifling rateable tax is to be levied on property in Charlottetown and Common. to it to be on real or personal roperty. or on both? If on real. by vrltom is it to be paid, by the landlord or tenant? If personal, how is the amount to be ascertained? Will the debentures of the treasury be considered property ; the stock in trade of the merchant, the capital of our moniod men out at in- terest! These, and a great many more questions. must irtevi- tsbly suggest themselves to the tnind of every man who ltas turned his attention to the subject.

A tax which when levied, presses equally on all according to the respective abilities of each to pay, is it just tax, and it is more or less unjust in proportion as it departs from this crite- rion ; hence an income tax, when the real income is ascertain- cd, is the fairest trtode of raising a revenue that has ever been

evised. for each pays according to his ability, and all who have incomes pay. tie much cried out against—aa whet tax will nut—-but the great objection seems to be, tltat people in the middle ranks of life are rrtore disposed to rate their incomes beyond the real amount than below. We submit, ltnwever. that the best In for this purpose, is to make that which is in- tended fur Charlottetown and Royalty a general tax extending

l Rsnell will resign previous to the commencement of tlto session. l _ \Ve believe that tlte i ministers will cling to oflice till the latest possible moment, but it is ‘

over the whole Island. In this case each pays according to his ; ability in prnpttrliun to the stake he has in the country ; an

rite sum Itll-ll of all property will be a very large one, the per- , ct-rttri'.'e will b-- in proporti Ill low, so that the raising a sum of z -57.000 or .f.'l0.UOU, will not make the richest man pay a very I exorbitant sum, while the poorest will only be called upon to 3 pay lzis fair share. We trust we shall have all this explained j at an e trly t.l:|_\'. for we should be sorry to see I measure, which I ll; ttccedcl to. will, in ottr opinion. be of more real hciwftt to

a want of the pecuniary means of carrying it into execution.

Your Committee would congratulate you on the advancing pros- perity ofthe Society, which may be attributed, in a great rueasure. to their having ndltored to the rule forntcrly adopted, of giving no credit whatever.

Your Committee gratefully acknowledge the receipt of rt number of Putrtpltletrt entitled “ llints to armors,” from the worthy a- tron of the Society, whose exertions on behalf 0 tlte fatrrner are deserving of lti h praise.

A number it copies of the Royttl Agricultural Society-‘s Report has also been received. which publications, by creating it s 'rit of enquiry and showing us what others have done, are the most

likely means of arousing us to emu atton.

Your Corrtmtttee would rerotrtrttend that the Ayrshire Bull be kept as the property of the Society for another _vo:u', but irt order to lighten the expense ofltis keep, recommend that it charge be made to rttetrtltera for his services, at the rule of one shilling nntl sixpertce for each cuw.

We must. however, trust that no pains have been I red to make the Bill about to be submitted, as perfect as the knowledge of what has been done is other eountries where the system is in successful operation. cenhiaed with the due consideration of what has hitherto been done here. and what is wanting to be done, will contribute to tafie it.

The past season has been also rather unfavourable to the 'l'urnip Crop. and in regard to this valuable root. your Cortrmittce ltnve to express their regret. that ttottvitltataudiitg the prui.-etvortlty exautplc set by many individual»: in your Society, there is still so little attt-n- lion given to its cultivtttit-n; utttl \\'lIlle on this subjt-,ct, would call your rtttr-ntiuit to the system pursued by too tmtuy, of spending so much uftlteirtiutc on the Sand llilla and .\lttrsltt.-s making hay. when they might be much more prolit:tb|y employed in collecting manure; indeed we do not hesitate to assert, that lutlI' an acre of turnip: would ive a router ntttouut of nutritious food than any one individual l’el|ll1t'l by the Hay that lie procure: at the cost f so much litbour, besides the ttdvuntrtgr,-s to be derived from u piece of lend well repared for nice ceding craps. In conc usiun your Committee would urge upon all Members of tire Society, the necessity of united and continued cxcrtion—that our profession is one, that above all others, requires constant and untiring diligence-—and tltet an improved system of Husbandry can- not be conducted with profit to tire individual without tlte exercise oftltese qualities. Eniortainirtg these views, we would suggest, that ifthe Members ofthe Society were to meet more frequently. and at stat periods, for tire express pur one of discussing Agri- cultural subjects, it might be the means 0 awakening the dormant energies q listoes members, and rouvin a e irit of enquiry, by enabling each to benefit by tlte experience of his fellows. Others may ro ress without more foresight than is required from day to day. in the farmer's mind, must. if Ito would thrive, orttbrnce ll long future; he must be continually looking forward. it farm plans for his operations, lnrtg before they can be carried into efloct. T e want ofa market has been long felt as a serious incunvo-

nience; but the remedy lies in a rent measure within ourselves. Let us by increased dilligsnce a improvement in cultivation of our farms, so increase the amount of our surplus produce, as to induce merchants of capital to come smon us.

Cuacurnpec has hitherto been held to be so far removed from the rest of tire world, that its very natno is hardly known. We tr much to your continued exertions, to make it better and more fu- rournbly known.
