Hon. Arronxny Geverat presented the Reporte of the |

Vieirore of Sehoole and the Minutes of the Board ot E lu- cation respecting sad Reports.

Laid on the table , Mr P. Sincrain moved that the third Order of the day

be now read, vie .the second reading of the Bill to amend the Act for the due observance of the Lord's Day, and exaid: ~The renson | have asked leave tu Bill ae | before stated, is that there is @ provision in the Act allowing persons to sell fish on the Lord's Day, hefore the hout of 9 o'clock, a. m., hour p.m. The Bill ie to amend the Act in this particular, and I think there will be no objection to it. } move that the House go into Committee on the subject j the hon

Mr. Retirr.—l wonld where this violation of the Lord's Dav has taken place.

much the same on the Sabbath as on other daya.

rot think any bon. member can objcet ta the Bill bemg paased Milk is alea mentioned in the Act but as that is en article that cannot be done without very well, and 1¢ may be impossible to procure « sufficient supply on tre

previous day, it may be necessary to permit its sale oD the Sabbath Day.

Hon Mr. Howtan.—As | live on the North side of the feland, and have been engaged tn the Fishery mysell, l may say, | have never known fish to be sould on the Sabbath, but, if the like has been done, i¢ would be well to bave the law amended.

Mr. MeNeitt —Ase reference has been made to the North Side, and I belong to ¢iat part ot the country, | may be expected to give some opmmion on the subject. I have never known a native of that place to sell fish on the Sabbath; but a foreigner once came to live there, who was accustomed to go out fishing on the Sabbath. He gave es & reason, that he was poor and could not get a living without work#®® on that day.

Lion. ATTORNEY CENERAL happen also to represent

| aaid :

a portion of the North side of the Isiand, and | may say, |

that as far as my knowledge extends, no violation of the Sabbath day in this respect, has tuken place in the Kastern portion of the Is!and, which | represent. This law is a copy of an old Act that has been in toree in England tor a

long time, but L think there is no occasion that a license |

should be given for the sale cf fish on the Sabbath, any wore than anything else. With regard to the sale of milk, you cannot make cows give a double quantity on Saturday, so there seems to be a necessity for having 1 sopplied on the Lord's Day. persons were so poor that they were obliged to work on the Sihbath; bac Il think any man will be a Joser rather than » cainer, by failing to observe that day which all are com- manded to keep holv. have been richer, bad he refrained from fishing on the sabbath

Mr McNerit —I forgot to say that he soon after ran away. tion. Mr MeAvutay.— The question shonld not be whether advantrge has been taken of the law or not; but is it right to have such a law on our Statute book?) The principle of the Aet, as 1t now stands, is not such as should he sanctioned in a Cbristian Community, as it peruits the desecration of the Lord's Day. Is it rational that people who believe in the authenticity of the command © Remew ber the Sabbath Day to keep it holy,” should pass a law to permit of tte violation? in wew of this, | du not see how anv member can have auy chjection to the amend- went proposed by the hon. member for New Lond i.

The House then resolved itself into uw Committees of the |

whole on the Bill.

Mr. Cameron in the Chair.

Mr. P Sixctatk -——There i a provision in the Actas it now stands, which permits people to desecrate the Sabbath Day, and 1 consider that an amendment of this nature if peceseary. leinnd, a¢ @ general rule, would observe the Sabbath withoat a law to compel them to do so; but Lf do not think it right to legalize the action of any who might be disposed to desecrate 16,

Hon. Leapex or tas Opposition. —There is one thing with respect to this Act, a¢ did not originate with the Legislators ofthis Island. It ia a compound of two Actes —-one passed in the reign of George IL., wod the otuer passed in the reign of William [1i. [ do not see why special permission ehould be given tur the sale of fresh fist, aod not for the sale of fresh meat. In the old Statutes to which | referred, it is mackerel that is mentioned, and, as we know that of all the fish that is caught, it 1s the most easily tainted, this may have béen the reason why 1t waa allowed to be gold on the Subbath. | will suppor the Bil of the hon member for New London.

Hon. Mr. Lienpersox —]t 1+ somewhat surprising that such a law should have been imported into this Colony, or transterred to our Statete Book, and it is surprising that it should have remuined so long on th British Statute Boek. It is bad enough where th: absence of Christian principle causes the Sabbath to by disregarded, bot it is a disgrace that this law bas reimuin- ed sv long on our Statute Book usrepealed. | am oot

It has been said that some |

mark that the member who just spoke belonged tu a Gov- |

ernment that was said to be God-learing, and yet they

never looked intu this matter all the time they were in |

wer.

Mr. McLexxayx —I do hope and expect that ev ry hon member on both sidea of the Louse, will favor the due ob- servunce of the Lord's Day. There is an exception in that Bill, however with which 1 do not agree I! Ian deratood the hon. member right, be made an exception ip regard to the sale of milk, but it might be just as neces sary to sell fish on the Lord's Day as to sell milk. Li seems that every hon member who bas spoken on the subject, wishes to make it appear, that no violation of the Sabbath, in this respect, has occurred in bie district, and | ean say the same of my district, it wust be in Chartotte- town it has happened

Hon. Mr Henpverson.—The hon. member who has spoken last bat one (Mr. Keily), has thrown ont a sneer abouts God-fearing Governments; bat whether parties aesume to themselves to be such, or whether it is tarown up to them asa sneer, it wil! always be found that those who fear God, will never throw any obstacles in the way of anything which will tend to the due observance of tue Lord's Day.

Mr. McLenvan —I have been in town on the Sabbath morning, and beard milk-men make more poise going round from house to boase, ringing bells, &c., than fisher-

~men would do.

Mr. P. sisetarr —If hon members wieh to have a pro v'eron in the Ball against the sale of milk also, | bave no ob)*ction.

air. BaECKEN —In answer to what has been said by one hoo. member, | may say, that I never koew any person in Ubarlottetown to go fishing op the Sabbath. There is no necessity in this country fur fish to be supplied on the Lord’s Day, but in reference to milk’, it would be a great inconvenience not to have it supplied on Sunday, and as most people comtract with the milk-men to supply them for a certain length of time, there is no necessity to pay for it on that day.

Mr. McUormack.—I represent a portion of the country whieh borders on the shore, and I never heard of fish being sold there on the Sabbath Day; but if it hag been done ip any part of the country, it should be prevented.

Hon. Mr. Uownan.—The hon. member for Murray Uarbor (Mr. Prouse) is getting very nice lately. Le jeels very sour because the petition which he presented to thie House was not received. I explained the objects of the Suciety last year; vut lL éo not remember whether my speech on the subjoct was long or short.

Hon. Leaper or tag Governugnt.—The Cascapec Agricultural Society was a branch of the old Agrieultur- al Society, and has always been encouraged by the Gov- ernment. A grant was given it last year on the ground that Messrs. Cunard had always given a sum on certain conditions, to support it. If other agricultural societies are formed with the same object in view, and reach the standard to whieh this one bas attained, | should be bap- py to vote fora grant to assiss them, which would enable them to purchase seed grain and agricultaral implem ‘nts. I believe that the old Agricultural Society is almost de- funet, and the Secretary is anxious to spend his remain- ing days in lecturing throughout the Covulry oD ayricul chemistry. He thinks that be wou'd be ot bervice to far- mers generally, In showing what parts ot the mussel mud are adapted to particular crops of grain and vihec farm productions Perhaps i would be well to employ him, for agricultural chemistry should be studied by our farmers, as it would assist them in the proper cultivation of the soil. Sometimes mannres are used by farmers which are of little benefit, owing to their misapplication, and, therefore we should have some way of testing them. The farmers of Great Britain ascertain what manures should be applied to the different soils, and why should notour farmers do the same? We sould know more about the mussel mud which is now so much used as A manure in this Island, for it may be suitable to some soils, | and injurious to others, Uf the Secretary of the Agrical-

It woald be better to import rams from the old country.
