HASZARD’S GAZE’l"l‘E, MARCH 28.

The St. Johns New-Brunswicker says. From what we have learned there is no doubt that a Prohibitory Liquor Law will be carried this session, to come into operation next December. The Bill before the House is very stringent, and if ever it can he carried out it will make quite a change in the traflic.

HASZ.ARD’8 GAZETTE.

Wednesday, March 28th, 1855.

To the question whether the House of As- sembly would pass an Act similar to that passed in anada, Nova Scotia, and New runswick, enabling aliens to purchase and hold lands, in fee simple, we have received an answer in the negative. and the reason given by one of the administration, is. that it is not expedient to give to the Americans every thing, without getting some thing in return; by another. that a year's dela can do little harm, and that it can be passe , if necessary, nextsession. With respect to the first of these answers, we re ly, that the Actsliould be passed for our own sa ‘es, in order to attract foreign capital to the Island, in place of the ﬁsheries we have lost. We have alread given up to the Americans all that we had va uable to give them, and we have got nothing in return, for the Reciprocity Act is as beneﬁcial to the American people as to those of this Island. American ﬁshermen will come here for the season, take advantage of our shores to dry their ﬁsh upon, and our harbours for refuge, spend a few dollars crhaps on milk, eggs, and fresh meat, and, li e birds of passage, when the cold of winter comes, spread their wings and fly. The capital made by the fisheries will centre in the little fishing towns on the coasts of the United States; whereas, if an Act enabling them mid other aliens, to pur- chase lands were passed, we should have the chance of seeing some pi.-rinnncnt fishing estab- lishments begun upon our own shores, which woul serve as schools. in which our own adventurous young men might be disciplined into becoming goo fishermen, and eventually entering into similar undertakings on their own account. Nor is this all, let it be well known, that real property can be purchased here, and we shall have men ofmoderate capital emi rating froui the States whose presence wou d be of infinite service in stirring up a spirit of emulation among us, and whoseimouo might serve to replace that which is fast leav- ing its, for it is a melancholy fact, that some of our wealthiest and most enterprising men of capital are quitting our shores, we fear never to return.

As to its being a matter ofniuional concern with the United States, a few moments‘ reflec- tion will convince any man of common sense that such can never be the case. To have the ﬁsheries thrown open and to secure to American

thing that can be done to make it better and more extensively known, should be attempted. As to the postponing this necessary measure to another session—Tlio trciity goes into substan- tial operation this ensuing summer, and it is but natural to suppose, that a. number of our enterprising and speculative neighbours will come over to see how the land lies, and ascer- tain whnt can be one. Now the first thing that will strike them as strange—wo should say unaccountablc—-will be to find a complete monopoly of land, on the one side by the pro- pli-ictors, and on the other, by the law and the 'ovcrnmcnt--that in the surrounding larger and wealthier colonies every facility of settling is afforded to the emigrant, coiue from whence he will, while in the smallest and poorest, every impediment to enterprise is studiously maintained and upheld. Now, first impressions are always the strongest, and it is to be lament- ed that the lsland, its natural beauties and advantages excepted, presents nothing coni- manding or attractive. A capital or metropolis which would not stand a moment's comparison with thousands of villages in the United States, without a Bank, Public Library, Athenwum or any of these institutions which betoken a people somewhat advanced in civilization, with streets and squares, encumbered with nuisances, unlightcd, implanted and unadoru- cd; laid out and begun to be inhabited eighty six years since, it presents an aspect of strug- gling with poverty, which must, to these repub- licans appear wholly unaccountable. Tell him

owever, and he must and will he told, that in addition to a monopoly of land which has been lying upon the inhabitants like an incubus dur- ing the wliole cfthese years and preventing suc- cessful cxcrtion, the Government sets its face against encouraging the importation of foreign capital industry and talent, that it refuses to pass a bill to enable aliens to hold land, and be will no longer be surprised at the evidences of poverty of both purse and mind, that surround iim on every side, and may and must, if he have the common feelings of humanity, bestow at sigh upon the iiuhappy condition ol'a(pe0ple who possessed of such a soil. cliniatcan situ- ation, are at least half a century behind the rest of America.

But what makes the refusal or neglect of the Government to ass an Act which would be but corollary to the Act of Reciprocity, and, as their own organ, the Iizaminrr, at the coin- mcnccmcnt ofthe session advised us, " would be passed as a matter of course,” we find the whole llouse agreeing, not only in passing an Act of Naturalization for James Scarl Mann, a native of the United States of America, but in passing it at the cxpcnce of the Colony, and we were glad to see the Act introduced, iind the disposition ofthe House to pass it upon the general principle. But why, since the principle has been conceded in one instance, not exben the benefits of it to the other citizens of the some Republic, and not only to them, but to (lei-mans, Swiss, French, and other foreigners? We trust that the Government will take these remarks as they are meant, in good part, an reconsider the matter. Let them not be as- hamed of complying with advice, though not coming from one of theinselves, and, above all, let not a false pride prevent them from altering their 0 inion, and consequently their measures, when tiat altertion will be for the public good.

the feelings, are too evident to need illustration. It serves also to divert the attention of the young from amusements of a questionable character ; and it is known that a reformation in manners and habits, has in more than one district, been eflected by introducing vocal music among the youth. Music is in itself, a. source of the purest enjoyment, it may occupy the vacant hours, express innocently and happily the lively feelings of childhood and youth, and all’-ird rest mid refreshment to the mind wearied with the cares and labours of life. The gladncss ofthe heart is calmed, but deepen- ed by its power, and sorrow becomes soothed and alleviated by being expressed in song. When in the turbulent scenes of life, though many an intcrinediatc association for good or for evil hath passed away, the little hymn chanted by a fond mother, comes rushin upon the mind, in all thc freshness of juvcni e emo- tion, and effects the change that the stern lessons of religion and niorality and the still sterner ones of misfortune have failed to ac- complish. So seldom is the proper cultivation of music admitted into the general plan of edu- cation amongst us, that the advantages result- ing therefrom, must be to most of my readers in a great measure conjectural, yet the subject is worthy of consideration, in proportion to its importance upon the youthful f'cclin s what- ever. inging is naturally the over owing of kind and joyful feelings, those parents and children who sing together have been observed to entertain a stron er attachment for each othcr——the family circ c and the family hearth are duly prized, for here can always be found amusement, and such as do not lead into temp- tation, the can truly sing "Home, sweet

ome." V hen singing is used in the family devotions, it tends to producea proper frame of mind, it throws a deli ht and interest into the exercises, which on Is up and fixes the attcntion—young voices around the domestic altar, breathing forth acred music at the

our of morning and evening sacriﬁce, is a sweet and touching accompaniment of a sacred

uty, as a stimulative of good or preventive of evil.
