lesrned and accomplished gentleman to be School Inspector, \bey show their gratitude to hia for ine former services in ex- pounding the evils of intemperance in hie grave aud elegant style, and illusirating them by narrating events in his own oderful career, as well as for his distinguished efforts in moting brotherly love and Christian forbearance amongst tenantry of this Island. Regarding the capacity of those who at present hold the posts of honor and emolument, there cannot be much diversity of uprnion, Whats glorious spectacle will not our Executive present, when His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and ve visit us during the ae summer! Behold one of m, the Hon. Little Grand Turk, on being presented. to the her of Royalty, exclaimn with the dignity of a Sultan and the polish of a courtier :-—** Your *ighness hag a great many hor- ents on your breast whatever.’’ Another of the Executive, ag versed only in the dead janguages, will be introduced the Lite Grand Turk, who wil! have to act aa interpreter, afier introducing him as ** Coles’s Gray ‘orse,” will re conupend him thus :—** He be a fine hanninal your *ighness, he bolted right away from that other party, and now helps us to yrind down them tenantry whatever.” But what great con- centions of Colonial wisdom will the Prince and British states- men not have, when the relative of the venerable and gifted Juige Pennefather fails into one of his hypochondriac fits and whispers, in **tones ax soft as silvery jute,’’ that though the mantle of genius which adorned his illustrious relative, Penne- father, did aot descend upon his shoulders, yet, he at least, was covered with some of bis nether garments. It is trusted she: his Hon. Colleague in the Govetnment, who is ¢0 remark- able for his good breeding, wi!] not on the occasion be so say acious 88 to observe, In his usual polite and elegant style, the: he ** thinks there is a good lot of bulk’’ in the speeches of the Leader of the Governinent, aad in those of the ** lawyer and the statesman,”’ as one of the Executive modestly desig- naied himself during the present Session of the House of Assembly.

Concerning the settlement of the Land Question, there is eve y appearance, at the present, that it will be seééled with a ver rcance, if the people dv not srouse their representatives to resist the farmation of such a * Commission” as the despatches lead us to suppose will be formed. We can judge of the na- ture of the settlemeat which the contemplated Commission wi!! give the tenantry, when the editor of the Islander admits the propriety of appointing either Mr. Cooper or Mr. B. Davies to be one of the Commissioners to represent the tenantry —ihere- by acknowledging that none but one of the Liberal party could be expected to do justice to the people.

There is yet another of the pseudo reforms of the present Government, which @ recent eveut has proved, if proof were wanting, that itis a great delusion. I refer to the exclusion of officials from the House of Assembly in order te secure the inde pendence of the members. The exclusion of officials from the Legislative Assembly was their great penacea to remedy all ‘he alls ander which they labored. But if anything were needed to show the folly and inconsistency of the Government, the appoiatment of Mr. Lemue! C. Owen to the office of Post master General should be sufficient. The Government and their supporters in the Legislature do not hold office directly, for (sey are ** patriots as well as Protestants ;"* but indirectly they have their fingers in the public purse. Hoo. T. H, Ha- viland is independent, of course: he does not hold office, but his cear cousin and partner in business is Attorney General. Ilon. John Longworth does not hold office, but tis brother is Con'rolier of Customs. Lion. James Pope dves nat hold office, but hia brother, the new defender of the faith, is Colonia! Secretary, and furnisher of Warehouses to the Government Hon. Mr. Laird holde no office, but his son has a share of the Government patronage. Another “ patriot,” Hon. James Yeo,

wr pr th

na be by

an

helds ne office, but ais son-in-law is Queen's Printer, and |

another relation Controller of Customs in Prince County. [f this be patriotism there is surely some truih in Dr. Johnson's definition of that word.

The last link to this cha‘n of nepotism is Lemuel C. Owen’s appoiatment, through the influence of his brother, Thomas Owen, M. P. P., who ts now firuly lashed to the car of state. Os the Postmaster-Generalship becoming vacant every one admitted that the Deputy Pustwaster had the best claims to the office. He served as Assistant for fifteen years; he was 5 tried friend of the Government party, and according to all pre- cedent, both in Great Britain and the neighbouring Colomes, he should be promoted on the decease of his superior in office. But what does justice or precedent avail when Mr. Lemuel C. (wen has a Srother in the Assembly! The Government wish to give the office to Mr. Desbrisay, but says Thomas Uwen, ** | am an independent member—i will not take office myeelf, |

but sf you do not make my brother Postmaster General, you | E ective Bill—that they have given up that measure so long | aye no opportunity of inspecting the gloomy details of his | They remonstrate and | ag they can command a majority in the upper Louse ; but}

need not calculate on my support.” offer him Mr. Deshrisay’s place, remarking on the :njustice of | placing an incompetent person over the Post Office department, when Mr. Desbrisay is the only person of the party having the experience and ability necessary to perform its important duues. Thomas Owen grows indignant—declares that he will not heve his brother put off with an inferior office—that if they do no satiefy his demands. he will expose their iniquitous pro- jeets-—-that he will have Macaulay avd McNeill turned out of the House of Assembly next general election ; and vociferates that he has #@ good a right to a share of the public plunder as any of themselves. The Government succumb, Mr. Lemuel . Owen is appointed Postmaster General, thus showing the beauties of the eystem of excluding officials from the Legisla- ture, \9 sppointing a person to an office wiw so far has shown no capacily to be able to fulfil the duties of such an important office as that of Postmaster General.

I understend that the Government have introduced a Bill in| accordance with the intimation of Cul. Gray, fur the purpose of mereasing taxation. The duty on imported and home manu- | faciured hquers is to be increased one-half more than the ex- isting duty, and the duty on dry goods to be raised one-fifth ; while tobacco, sole leather, coffee, &c., are also to be con- siderably taxed in addition to the heavy duties on them for- merly-—making in all an increased texation of six or seven thousand pounds anavally. Wheré now are el! the fine theories and promises which the Government made concerning economy and retrenchment? Let the wily edvor of the Islander answer —-it will be more appropriate than indulging in tie stale peuri- lities ogainst Col. Swabey and the-inde pendent members of the Legisiative Councl!. The delusions which the party in power employed to gain their present position are now nearly al! ex- ploded. They feel it, for Mr. Davies, while supporting the increased duties on the new tariff, said that jie did not know how he could face his constituen’s. | tell him that if he and others continue to eupport the present iniquitous policy of the Government, they wi!! find that the safest faee which they can show their constituents will be—to use a military phrase—ihe right sbout-face.

Our Baroums, verily, have no need to publish their auto- biograpmes. For the present,

I remain tru'y, CONSERVATIVE.

To rug Epiror or tne Examiner.

Sin—It may appear very extraordinary to many persons that, towards the close of the Session of the Legislature, when several important Bills are hastened through their different stages with a hurry which reflects little eredit on the Government, that notwithstanding the perfecting (this is their own term) of the Education Act, aud the spatting between the cock-sparrows on the floor of the Lower House, &e.,—it may, I say, appear surprising that the Islander could aot find watter sufficient for its principal editorial of last week without stultifying itself by very impertinently, althoush very impotently, attacking a lecture delivered in the Catholic Jastitute of Charlottetcwn. But it should be remembered that W. H. Pope, before he got an office, openly declared that he did not belong to any Church—that is, that be was an infidel; and, of course, [ suppose he con- sidered the Bible a mere myth—yet he has since felt what a holy awd wholesome thing it is to receive £350 a year. As your New GI! correspoadent intimated, this salar is working wonderfuily on his religious convictions. ludeed, a close observer might perceive that his face is becoming every week more elongated. I understand that the editor of the Protestant has lately brought the Islander to task for some admissions which it made in the controversy with * Lector.” Upon reading this it is said that Mr. W. H. Pope ot somewhat nervous at the horrible prospect of his losing bis dear £350 a year,—and afier a serious meditation on the matter he determived to evince more Zeal in the cause of Protestantism than eyen his less favored contempo- rary, aad the result was last Briday’s lucubration on Galileo and the Roman Inquisition. I have no doubt but one or two more attacks of the Protestant on the Islander tor its heterodoxy will make W. [1. Pope one of the sauctified— will couse him to be moved, and to groan in spirit. 1 would uot be surprised to hear of that gentleman a few months hence lividing forth from some of the city pulpits, or even from an old tub on some of our res, ov his miraculous conversion from the abominable infidelity of Jean Jaques Rousseau, who I have heard was a favourite of his, and on the “ errurs of Popery”— so wonderful an effect on the con- science have the present enjoyment of a good salary and the pear prospect of losing it. But when people remember the Bank ‘ransaction the dig potatoe which was offered to Mr. Cuudall, they will shake their heads, and they are so wicked that probably they will remain incredulous, however often the “ spirit miny move Mr. W.H. Pope.” * * . * * * * * *

THE ELECTIVE COUNCIL BILL ABANDONED.

——

Tue question having been asked the Government, several days ago, whether it was their intention to pass the Bill for electing the members of the Legislative Council, which the House of Assembly went through the form of enacting last year, and had printed, with the understanding that it should become the law of the land this Session—Col. Gray replied, on behalf of the Government, that it was not their intention to bring forward the Bill this year, as its passage would pro- tract the business of the Session. Mr. Whelan, who asked the question, then gave notice thut he would, at an early op- portunity, move a resolution on the subject, for the purpose of formally setting the matter at rest, and testing the sincerity of the promoters of the measure with regard to it. This resolution was moved by him on Friday last, prefaced by a short speech, and is as follows :—

House to render the Legislative Council elective, which Bill was printed for general information, and its further consider- ation having been deferred until the present Session, when the Government were pledged to pass it—taking, in the mean- time, such steps as would secure concurrence with their views on the part of the majority of the Legislative Council. dnd whereas it appears that, previous to the commencement of the present Session, the Government were authorized to make such a change in the constitution of the Legislative Council as would be necessary to ensure harmonious co-operation with

exercised with that result :

Resolved, therefore, that if the Government were s:ncere in promising to re-enact the Bill of last Session, they had ample time to do so—as its principles and details had been fully dis- cussed and agreed to ; but having failed to fulfil this promise, it should now be declared inexpedient to entertain, for the present, the proposal to make the Legislative Council elective.

To this resolution Cul. Gray moved the following amend- ment : —

Resolved, That as the Legislative Council has but recently been reconstructed, this House do not now deem it expedient to go into the discussion of the Elective Council Bill, the sub- ject being such as would necessarily greatly protract the business of the Session.

It is needless to say that Col. Gray’s resolution was carried by a large majority—every Government supporter recording his name in favour of it, and several of the Opposition being absent. The object of proposing the original resolution was, however, fully accomplished. The Government were solemnly pledged to pass the E ective Bi'l this yeor—that they could pass it, if they were sincere regarding it, is beyond dispute. Their only excase last year for postponing it was the want of a majority favorable to their views in the upper branch. Now, at the beginning of this Session—nay, before i: began —they declared repeatedly that they had power to reconstruct the Council in such a way as would secure the passage of their own measures. Their appointment of five new members was

it was the object of the minority to put their consistency and sincerity to the proof regarding the Elective Council Bill, which the above resolutions have accomplished.

How true is the observation we often hear, that those who practise deceit in one instance very often resort to the same expedient in other instances to sustain an outward appearance of decency and consistency. The Government had not the

manliness to say that there was no nec ssity for passing the

founded excuse that could be framed. They state that it is|

not expedient to bring forward such an important measure a? jjeye that the purchase of the estate by the Government will |

the close of the Session, when its discussion would protract the | business of the Legislature. This excuse may be characterized | by the homely expression—all humbug. They should have | spok-n the truth and said, it was not expedient to bring it) forward at all. Who is to blame for not bringing the Bill | forward at the beginning of the Session, when for several d ys | there was nothing dving in either end of the building? The

Government, of course; it was their measure,— they have! declared over and over again that the country coald not pos-

aibly progress without it—that it was absolutely necessary,

as the only means of making the Legislative Council an in-

degendent and respectable body—that the system of nomina-

ting members to that branch, for the purpose of carrying out

the views of the Government of the day, was a disgrace and

a curse to the Colony—that it was an infamous and despotic abase of the royal prerogative for any Government to cra:

the Council with their own partizans,—and the only remedy

for the evils was to be found in electing the upper Chamber.

Why, then, did the Government delay to do what the coun'ry

so much required? If the Bill be of such paramount import- ance, why was it not allowed to take precedence of a lot of trumpery acts about restraining cattle and pigs, imcorporating private societies, and other subjects of legislation on which a great deal of the time of the country has been spent, and in which the people can feel no interest whatever? To say that the introduction of the Elective Council Bill would materia'ly protract the business of the Legislature, is pure moonshine. Its principles and details were fully discussed and approv. d of by a large majority ; and its enactment this Session could be effected in less time than was requisite to pass the most paltry pig Bill by which our senatorial labours have been distin- guished.

We can indulge in no sorrowful reflections at the Guve:n- ment’s desertion of their once cherished progeny. They have turned it out of doors, to subsist, if p ssib'e, on the cold charities of a public opinion that never had any love for it ; but who will leave it, without remorse, to end its sho;t career w th as little honor os attended is birth—pious natare sssist- ing at the obsequies by throwing her mantle of oblivion over it. Wealways disliked the thing, for i¢ was an unsightly abortion from 1s advent to ites pr 6 nt destitu'e condition, and has given unmistukeable proof of i's having beea begotren by pol:tieal chieanery «nd conceived in factious spite. Two or three years hevce—wheo the father, grandfather, nurs s and admirers of she unfortunate bantling shall be e msigned, poli- tic lly, to the tomb of all the Capu’e s; and whew the Go- vernment of that day shall correct ihe errors of the present one, by taking such steps as may be necessary then to make the Couned accord with éheir views—it is not unlikely that some Gipsy trick may be prac ised, ot the ivstigation of the party now in power, to steal a brat bearing lineaments simi- lar to those of the defunct one—that it may be proclaimed as the veritable thing which was left to perish in 1860—and en- titled to the honors which it was expected it would enjoy in this year of grace.

. PURCHASE OF LORD SELKIRK’S ESTATE.

THERE was no measure ever introduced by the late Ad- ministration so frequently ard vehemently abused a the B:ll to autho i<e the purchase of Township lands on b-half of the Government of this Island. The party now in power described that measure as one of the worst that could be passed, and laboured to defeat is operation in ev ry instance. But now that they are in power, they have embrsced the firs’ oppor- tuni-y that offered to change their views upon this very im- portant matter, and they have takes such steps as will enable prow to extend the ope ations of the Bil.

On Friday @ message wag sent to the Louse of A-sembly by His Excejleycy the Lieut. Governor, stating tigt the Earl of Selkirk wag willing to se}1 to the Government his property on this Island, amounting to 48,000 acres, af the moderate price’ of two shillings and foug pence sterling per acre~—equal to three sh lings and six pence our eyyrency. Angther message

A —

Whereas a Bill having been passed last Session in this|

the majority of this House; and such authority having been |

NS from the Lieut. Governcr, shortly after tranemitt«d, informed the Assembly, that in this proposal Lord Selkirk included ell the arrears of rent. A very liberal offer of this description could hardly fail to command geners! approval—the Govern- ment and their supporters were in ecstacies at it, and at once forgot their opposition to the working of the Purchase Bill, According to notice, the House went into Committee on the following day (Siturday), and discuss d the offer made by Lord Selkirk, at considerable length,—the opinion being, on the part of a very large m»jerity, that bis terms should be aceepted ; and a Bll was then introduced by Colonel Gray, authorising the Government to raise a loan of £10,000, in addition to the sum of £30,000 provided by the old Land Purchase Act—leaving about £16,000 at the disposal of the Government. The cost of Lord Selkirk’s property will be from £6000 to £7000 ; and if it be judiciously managed, the ‘settlers on that estate ought to be enabled to purchase their farms for 6s, or 7s, an acre, and all the back rents be fur,iven, which will be a great boon to many destitue and unfortunate settlers on the estate.

We cordially approve of the Government's acceptance of Lord Se!kirk’s proposal. In fact, they could not help accept- ing it; and it now depends upon themselves to show, by their management of the property which is about to be entrusted | to them, whether any regard can be placed on their profes- sions of sympathy for the tenantry of this Island.

It was very amusing to hear some of the Goverment party | taking credit to themselyes for Lord Selkirk’s offer as the re- sult of their talk—for there has been nothing else but talk \upon the subjeci—concerning the Land Commission. Tue | motive for his lord-hip’s offer can be easily traced to other

|

|causes. Several years ago, when Col. Swabey held the office ‘of Land Commis-ioner, he opened a correspondence with the | Earl of Selkirk, with the view of inducing that nobleman to sell his estates to the then Government of the I-land ; and his | Lordship di clared his willingness to do so; but the Loan Bill, _which was necessary to give effect to the transact:om, was do- \feated by the opposition of the proprietary party in the Island ; and of course the property @ould not be purchased. If the Loan Bill had been allowed to go into operation, money

| could have been obtained from British capitalists at four per | cent. interest, and the property would, no doubt, have been ecured to the Government at as low a rate as that at which ‘it has been Iately offered. The Government will now have to ay six per cept. on the debentures to be given in exchange fur the Selkirk estate, and thus two per cent. will be lost to the Colony. When we remember that the Lot Eleven estate | —all good land, at least so mueli of it a8 came into the hands of the late Government—was purchased at four shillings cur- rency an acre, and not @ farthing of loss has been sustained by the transaction—the Selkirk property at three shillings | and sixpence an acre is not such a wonderful bargain, 68 a | very large portion of it is exceedingly bad land, and is settled by a class of people who are not like'y to prove themselves the

plimentary to the tenants who heave not paid bim a shilling of rent for eighteen years, and is not calculated to lead us to be

be **a self-sustaining’? transaction. If there had been no agitation about the Land Question—which has extended over a period of thirty years—and by which the Earl of Selkirk, as well as other proprietors, has been incessantly tormented, —if Land Agents had not enriched themselves at the expense of their priucipals—if there were no arrears of rent which it is impossible to recover—we think we would have no reason to rejoice at the apparently liberal terms proposed by the Earl of Selkirk.

Tux business of the Legislature is so far near completion as |

to lead us to hope that the Session will be prorogued to- morrow.

The Bill, introduced to give effect to the Land Commission, has be n agreed to by both branches of the Legislature. We are still extremely doubtful as to the utility of this measure.

We believe its operation will only serve to confirm proprietary | |

titles, without conferring avy advantages upon the tenantry. If the proprietors generally would follow Lord Selkirk’s ex- ample, and offer their estates to the Government for a moderate price,—and if the Government would pase @ Loan Bill to raise the necessary funds for their purchase—there would be no necessity for a Land Commission, and very little agitation about Escheat. If the Land Commission ever should go int»

oferation, and take the must favourable view of the Land!

Question for the tenantry, it cannot procure more favorable terms for them thn those now offered by Lord Selkirk, while there must be great delay and expense to the Colony before the award of the Commissioners can be given,

The Report of the Committee on public accounts was pre- sented and adopted by the House during the past week. It contains some grave misstatements and errors, which we shall notice as soon as the ducament can be published for general information.

A Bill to convert the Central Academy into a Co lege, under the title of the Prince of Wa'es College, was introduced by the Government on Saturday, and carried through the House of Assembly to-day. It provides for two Professors at £300 each a year, who may be Ministers of any denomination ex- cept the Catholic. The Hon. Mr. Kelly moved to add a rider to the Bill, providing a grant for the St. Dunstan’s Colleze— sapported exc'usively by Catholics, who have always contri- buted their means towards sustaining the Central Academy, and who must now contribute their share of taxcs for the sup- port of the new sectarian institation—but the Government negatived his motion in a very summary manner; nor would they allow the Bill to stand over for consideration until next Session. It was hurried through the House with the utmost precipitancy, as if the Government w-re afraid to allow calm and dispassion te attention to b: givea to a measure eminently calculated to widen the breach

‘between Catholics and Protestants; for the former are not

likely 'o submit with their usual quietness to this new im- position upon ther, and the ignoring of their just claims to consideration at the handsof the Legislature. We shall make further remarks upon this subject, when noticing at greater length the acts of the closing Session.
