Ile (Mr. Haviland) said that though bills | passed by the Le_islature here were sometimes r jected at the | Colonial Office, that was no reason why he people of this Island should be styled serfs. He showed that all the bills passed in the other Colonies did not receive the Royal assent, and stated that even in Canads, though it had a population grenter than the United States at the time of the declaration of independence, a bill was passed a few years ago to regulate the currency of that Colony, which did not receive Her Ma- Jesty’s approvai ; but still they had not heard of the people there rising up and saying they were serfs.

iter Government. The hon. member said that the Prince of | Wales was not entitled to the loyalty dae to the Sovereign,

but admitting thet to be the case, did he come here simp!y as

a private individna!, or did he come vested wih Royal avtho- iruy so fires it could be given hits? He came here with the power ta create Peers of the realm, and with the power to con- ler the honor of Knighthood. I sav, then, that the language

for King’s County was unbecoming in him as a member of this | House. He asked why should we be required to show respect }to the Prince of Wales, for some of the greatest foo's and | despots who ever lived possessed this title? There wae no | oecasicn fo- Janguage hike this when referring to the present Prince of Wales, for the prudence, the judyment, and the fore- sight which he displayed whenever he was called upon to meet the public, has been the subject of remark by men of all shades of opinion in the neighbouring Colonies, and in the United States. If the Prince of Weles were a person of the description referred to by the hon. member, Mr. Whelan, would we have heard of the remarks made respecting His Roya! Highness in the British Parliament, by no less a peraonage than Lord Derby, to the effect that looking at the conduct of the Prince in his course through the Colonies, he (Lord Derby) considered that they would be wanting in duty if they did not recognise it in their anawer to the Queen's speech; and tliere was scarcely one in ten thousand who would have displaved under the ecir- cumstances such prudence and strength of mind as His Royal Highness? ‘This coming from the Leader of the Opposition in the British Parliament is, I think, at least as high a testimony as that which comes from the Hon. Edward Whelan.

Hon. Mr. COLES replied at considerable length, and said that thouh his hon. friend had aliuded to the conduct of former Princes of Wales, that was not charging anything against the present Prince of Wales. He (Mr. Coles) believed that His Royal Highness was everything that could be desired, and that there was not a person in the Colonies or in the United States | that would not say so. fle maintained thet the people here did | not enjoy the same privileges as those in Great Britsingsand he supposed his loyalty would be cal'ed in question. A‘Bil! passes the Parliament there, and it receives tae Royal assent; but here Bills were passed time and again that were cast out dy the Colonial Minister of the day, who might be actuated perh«ps by no better principle than that of the one who caused the Ameriean Revolution, His hon. friend, Mr. Whelan, did not say that we should throw off our allegiance, becaus® our meas- ures were sometime: not allowed to pass into law. The peop'e

what the Government refused. lle (Mr. Coies) was there at a time when Bristol was set on fire by the populace, sad when the Duke of Wellington’s house in London wae barricaded to prevent them from breaking the windows, on account of the refusal to pase the Reform Bill, yet the people continued to agitate until they gained their point; and he hac sever heard that for so doing they were called in question for disloyal'y He was surpri-ed to hear the hon. member for Tryon accusing the tninority of running the country into debt. Tina could not he the case, as he and his friencs had a large mejority in the House. But he supposed that hon. member had fergotten that he (Mr. Coles) had assisted him in saving the expenditure on one point not long ago.

Mr. MONTGOMERY—said that had it not been for an occasional remark made by hon. members now and again, he would have forgotten the subject under consideration. He re- greited thet the sum named in the estimates for the road service was so small, but he thought, in the present circumstances cf the Colony, it was as much aé the Iiouse was warranted in vorng.

en Mr. WHELAN addressed the Committee for some time in reply to the hon. meuber Mr. Longworth. He regretted that he was under the necessity of having recourse to the notes of his friend en the left (Hon. Mr. Coles,) and said that if he had occasivn to answer the remarks.o* an opponent, he would rather have foregone the paltry gratification of doing so, than to have replied during his absence.

Even the Act to give effect to the award of the Land Commissioners had been disallowed.

Hon. Col. GRAY rose to correct; it was not disallowed.

Hon. Mr. WHELAN—Did the Duke of Newcastle not say that he could not submit it for Her Majesty's assent?

Hon. Col. GRAY—For the present.

Hon. Mr. WHELAN —“ For the present?”’ Did the Duke’s despatch not state that other bills would require to be passed to give effect tothe award? He (Mr. Whelan) would again advert to the people of ths Colony being serfs, and would say}

Mr. COOPER said that during the debate much had been sad about the reception of the Prince of Wales. Though the Prince acted well fur a young man in his tour, sill he never did anything which would entvle him te such a reception as he met in these Colonies. It was in consequence of the exemplary conduct of bis mother Queen Victoria. No page of the future history of British Sovere:gis would be fairer than hers. The reception given to the [leir apparent of Her throne was to show our satisfaction with British inst tutions, so he thought the country wou d not complain of the exp nse incurred. Taus

the people of these Colonies proved to the Republicans of Ame-

rica. aud to the despo's of Europe, our satisfaction with British inst Suttons. In America we read of the dissatisfaction under

jemployed respectiog Hig Kogal Highness by the hon. member |a sysiem of Government which was held up to the world as the

| most liberal, aud which seemed to be breaking up like unpopu- |

of Great Britain, however, had not always submitted quietly to)

| Prince was received would be an inducement to him, when he

ascended the throne, to carry cut the Government of his illus- trious mother, which was so highly approved. (Hear )

Hon. Mr. COLES address d the Committee and referred to remarks made by the hon. member from Georgetown, in the morning, who, he said had travelled out of the record in diseuss- ing the merits of the Princes of Wales, the Fishery Reserves, and the Rent Rol! Bill. Mr. Coles thea remarked that he had been in the Crown Land Office that day and saw on the plan of Lot 54 the name of an important Government officer down for 1200 acres,and the ranvs of other individuals removed.

| He thought no maa should put his name down till he had pud

his depcait. As the principal part of the remarks of the hon. member from Georgetown were intended for his hon. friend on his rght, Mr. Whelan, the hon. member he said would be pre- pared he had no donbt to answer for himee'f.

_Hon. Col. GRAY said there was such a diversity of subjects discussed it would require a sheet of foolseap io note them down, to know whic one was properly before the Commitee. He could not understand why the hon member who had just spoken should bring forward en the present eecasion what he vad seen in the Crown Land Office. It would be a foolish thing for any oneto put down his name for 1200 acres, knowing he could ouly purchase 300. If the Commissioner had put down any individual's name for that pumber of acres, he had exceeded his duty. But he(Hon. Col. Gray) believed the hon. Leader

did not go to the Crown Lend Office to strike out the nawe of another person, and put his ownin., He did not s+y that the gentleman himself put bis own name down on the plan, but, thet his name was there, whoever wrote it.

Hon. Mr. WUELAN addressed the Committee at consider able length in reply to the hon, member from Georgetown, Mr. Havilund,in reference to his remarks concerning the Prmces £ Wales, commencing as far back #8 the reigns of Edward II, and Edward III. Mr, Whelan then endeavoured to prove by histuriang and poets that there were fools and despote who had rejoiced in the title ** Prince of Wales.”

PRTITION FOR A BANKRUPTCY LAW. The order of the day for the House in Committee on the

ing of a Bankruptey Law, being read, the House accordingly 1€ o'ved itself into the said Committee, Mr.J.Xeo in the chair.

Mr. DAVIES said that the necessity of a Bankruptey Liw was admitted in all mercantile communities. It wag 0 jected to by some. who said that it opened the door to fiaud. Perhaps a tew might take advantage of it, bat he thought it was high tite something was done in thig country for unfortunate merchants. A number of those who did business between 1857 and 1859 were in this position, aad when they commenced merchandizing again, their creditors came along and swept the goods off their shelves, so that they were unable to support their families. He had been informed that an extension of the Insolvent Debtors’ Act would meet the case of such individua's,—that a clause eculd be introduced into it affording security that creditors should not pounce upon those who came under the operation of the Act. Whether that Act could be so amended as to suit the case Was a question for the legal gentlemen in the House to

decide ; but if it could not, he should go for int , Bankruptcy Law. go for introducing a

Hon. Mr. COLES did not intend to say much at present,

, a8 he had expressed his sentiments on this subject on a former

vecasion, The House should be very carefal in regard to passing a Bankruptey Law; a debtor’s going into a Banks tuptcy Court should be left pretty much at his own option, and not in the power of the creditor, for a person in good cir- cumstances might find it difficult at some time to meet a bill of perhaps £100. He (Mr. Coles) was not in favor of pass- ing a Bankruptcy Law. He thought an extension of the In- solvent Debtors’ Act would answer all the purposes required, but he would be inclined to bow to the opinion of legal gen- tlemen on both sides of the House, as this was an open ques- tion.

Mr. COOPER thought that a Bankrupte w opened the door for culating. There wero wap oe aie 80 hard-hearted as to treat debtor harshly. He did not see that there was any necessity for euch a law.

Hon. Mr. M‘AULAY said that there was no sub which had come before the House that deserved more <7 deration. There were too objects to be gained by » Bank- ruptey lav, first the protection of trade, and secondly the protection of the honest but unfortunate debtor. fis convie- tion was that the House should direct their attention to the matter, with the view of passing such a measure as might work for the benefit of the country.

Mr, BEER had some misgivings about the passing of such a law. He thought it might affect the credit of the Colony ; merchants in the old country were probably more ready to give credit here, knowing that there was no Baukruptey law in the Colony, than they wou d if one were passed. He would like to see some method by which unfortunate individuals could be protected, but there was a difficulty in regard to the matter, It was known that some parties in this com-

munity bad gone to England to get—as it was called—

“whitewashed,” and had come out here again with plen’y of cash, besides having owned property while they were passing through the process,
