How sweet at eve to wind my pensive way O'er vernal meads where voung flowerets bloom, Or through o’er-arching grey, In silence weirdly woos the forest’s gloom.

PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE.
HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY.
Evening Sessioit.
Frupay, May 25.
Mr Saaw moved the ones into Com- mittee on the second reading of the Bill for the protection of Game and fur-bearing animals. Mr. Underhay was called to the Chair of the Committee, and after some time spent therein, progress was reported and the House adjourned fer one hour.
Hon. Mr. Suttivan moved the House in Committee on the second reading of the Act respecting certain departments of the Public Service. The Bill authorizes the amalgamation of the offices of Provincial Secretary and Treasurer, and Commissioner of Public Lands; the offices ef Assistant Provincial Secretary, and Assistant Provin- cial Treasurer ; and the office of Clerk of the Executive Council and _ Provincial
Auditor. The Bill also contemplates the reduction of the salaries of the various officials. The measure was intended to
effect two objects—to render the Civil Service more eflicient,and to reduce the ex- penditure. The amount of work to be per- formed by the Provincial Secretary and Treasurer was not very great, and the busi- ness of the Land Office will be getting legs every year, and in a short time it must to a great extent, be performed in the Treasury. That was the proper place to receive money payments. i is not contemplated to amal-
gamate the two offices at present, but so {soon as the Government are satistied that | this can be effected without injury to the Public Service, they can enforce that por- tion of the Act which prov ides for the said amalgamation, by passing an Order in Council.
Mr. Yeo did not know that he had great reason to find fault with the Bill, as far as it went. ‘They were first led to believe that the amalgamation of the oftice of Provincial Secretary and Treasurer, and that of the Commissioner of Public Lands, would take place at once; but it now appeared that the amalgamation was not likely to take place for a long time to come. He did not blame the Government for not amalgamat- ing these offices at once ; but he did blame them for taking up time in discussing a
matter that they had no intention of catry- ing out. He thought that the public in-
terests would be better served by merging the oftices of Clerk of the Executive Coun- el, Assistant Provincial Secretary, and Assistant Provincial Treasurer, into one, and leave the Provincial Auditor independ- ent of every other office ; and, if the duties of that officer be light, let him be paid ac- cordingly. The audit of accounts by such an officer would be more correct than from the Clerk of the Executive Council, who is almost bound to carry out the wishes of the Government.
House went into Committee on the Bull, Mr. Shaw in the Chair.
Mr. Yeo moved an amendmegi to the
clause amalgamating the offices of Clerk of

the Executive Council and | Au litor. $02. | ‘Lhe motion gave rise to some discussion | which was participated in by Messrs. Yeo, | Deb slois, Richards, Farquharson, Ferguson, a, MecMilian, and Prowse.
A rambling debate originated on the) clanse fixing the salaries of Schoul Inspec- | | tors. Messrs. Prowse, Farquharson, Yeo, | |MeMillan, Campbell, Lefurgey, and Rich. | ards were the speakers. | ‘The Speaker ‘resumed the chair, and the
Chairman reported the Bill agreed to with- lout amendment.
Upon motion of Mr. Shaw, the Bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time on Monday.
Mr. A. ©. MeDonanp, from the Com- mittee on Public Accounts, presented the report of said Committee, which was _re- ceived, read, ordered to be committed to a Committee of the Whole House ou Mon- day.
Mr. Yeo asked for a statement showing what reduction, if any, has been made in the salaries of officials since the beginning of the year.
Hon. Mr. Sutiivan replied -that such a statement was being prepared, and would be laid upon the ‘table of the House on mens
Mr. Gavmw asked why a new line of road ordered fo be opened some years ago, be- tween Horse Head and Palmer Road was not opened, and if it were the intention of the Government to open it.
Hon. Mr. Frreuson could not answer the first question, but, in reply to the last, he said that the matter would be consider. ed by the Government
Mr. Cameron asked what action the Gov ernment had taken with respect to a petition of certain inhabitants of Lot 68, praying for the construction of a wharf at McArthur’s landing, West River.
Hon. Mr. Fereuson said that the matter was under the consideration of the Govern- ment, :
The Speaker read a communication from the Lieut.-Governor, desiring the House, at its rising to-day, to adjourn till Men- day.
Hon. Mr. SuttivaN moved the House into Committee of the whole on aresolution to consider the expediency of introducing a Bill to amalgamate the Prince of Wales College and Previncial Normal School. Resolutions reported agreed to.
Hon Mr Suittvan moved certain resolu- tions upon whlch it was preposed to found said Bill. In addition to the main features of the amalgamation scheme,it is propoposed ‘to give two additional Scholarships to Queen’s County. Two will be for the County and two for the City and Royalty. The latter will not receive any endowment from Government, but will be exempt from the payment of Cullege fees. The endow- ment of the other six scholarships is raised to$89. It used to be £20, old currency. While the Attorney General calculates upon upon saving $3,500 by the amalgamation, he contends that the efficiency of both in- stitutions will be increased.
These resolutions gave rise to much de- bate, into which a good deal of irrelevant matter was dragged, the speakers being

,
Messrs. Richards, Farquharson, Yeo, Shaw, McMillan, Cameron, Prowse, Lefurgy,
Montgomery, and Ferguson. The Opposi- tion objected to giving the Principal of the Amalgamated Institution a seat at the Board at Edueation, also to placing the Normal School under the Supervision of the Collegiate Department.
After a prolonged struggle the resoln- tions were reported agreed to, and Messrs. Sullivan, Prowse and McLeod were ap- pointed a Committee to bring ina Bill in conformity therewith,
Hon. Mr. Svuriivan, frem said Com- ‘mittee, introduced a Bill to amalgamate the Prince of Wales College and Provincial Normal School, which was received, read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday.

Probabie Visit to Engiand.
Looking at the results of the legislation of last season, it is impossible to resist the conclusion that a visit to England will be necessary on the part of some of the Minis- ters during the comingsummer. Indeed, it is highly probable that Sir Jehn Macdon-
ald, Dr. Tapper, and Mr. Tilley will visit Englan’ at an early day. The Pre- mier will visit England —he will not be
accuinpanied by Mr. Huntington—with peculiar pleasure, to receive the honors due to his long service in the cause of the Empire, and to his success in Canada. Dr. Tupper will no doubt succeed in enlisting the cordial aid of the British Government in his Pacific railway scheme. And Mr. Tilley will find it necessary to make pro- visions in relation to the finances of the country.
