Mr. COOPER eaid the Committee were certainly premature |

in expressing any opinion regarding the disallowance of the Bills referred to, while there was no positive information before the House. He did not intend to cast any reflection on the Government. Ue considered that in offering the amendment he was pursuing a very proper course.

Mr. pOUSE took the sume view as the hon. member who had just spoken. He would support the amendment. Te would be quite time enough to entertain the covsideration of the sab- ject before the Committee when informed of the reasons which induced the Home Government to disallow the Bills. He thought it unfair to attack any hon membor for Voting or otherwise acting according ty his conscience. For his part he would be ashamed to taunt any hon. member for whatever ant, he might be inclined to take on that or any oth With regard to the rejected Bills, he had “ members and supporters of the Govern

£163 ; on tobacco, £783; on goods subject to a duty of 2 per cent., the importations last year were very considerably less |

than they were the previous year—on articles, used for ship- building purposes, such as cordage, chains and anchorages, and liable, as the House were well aware, to the 2 per cent. duty, the decrease in the revenue amounted te about £4000. This

was 4 strong proof of the decline of the ship-building, which of

course affected every other branch of industry. The free trade treaty with the United States did, to some extent, injuriously affect the revenue; but there was an increase of duty on American manufactured goods, and on tea imported into Char- lettetown. His off-ring those statements might seem to be out of place, as the paragraph te which they referred had been agreed ta; but be made them in corroboration of the remarks wuich fell from Mr. Whelan.

Hon. Mr. PALMER observed, that much inconsistency was apparent in the conduct of some hon. members. In the course of the leng speech delivered by the mover of the Address, he alluded to the operation of the free trade principles as produe- tive of a decrease in the revenue. It had been the practise of that hon. member to propound a far ditierent doctrine, and to boast of the advantayes that would result from the establish- ment of free trade. For his (Mr. P’s,)-part, he was never in favour of that measure, and could not, of course, be disap- pointed if it had a detrimental! effect upon the interests of the Colony. It had heen said tLat the consumption of liquor during the past year was as great as in former ones, and the hon member for the second district of Prince County (Mr. Ciark) quoted official records to shew, that the duty collected On liquors last year was over £2000 less than that of the pre- vious year. If both the statements which he (Mr. P.) had

eferred to were correct, then it was only fair to conclude that liquors must have heen smuggled into the country, the duty on which would have amounted to more than £2000. He had supported Mr. Cooper’s amendment—and he trusted that hon and learned member did not think ill of him for doing so— because it appeared to him as the more proper course to abstain from expresssng any opinion regarding the reasons which in-

duced Her Majesty’s Government to disallow the Bills so|

frequently alluded fo, until those reasons should be made known to the House by the production of the correspondence promised in His Excellency’s Speech. He would also support the amend- ment before the Committee, because it very properly avoided expressing any opinion regarding the efficiency of the Land Purchase Bill. That was a measure on which much diversity of sentiment prevailed, and he for one did not feel himself justiied in s; eaking of it in liudatory terms.

After a few tu.tnher remarks from several hon. members, chiely made in a conversational tone, the question was taken on Mr. Laird’s amendment, when the names stood precisely as

in the previous division. The remaining paragraphs of the |

Address were then read and agreed to without discussion, when the Committee rose, and the Speaker took the Chair. ‘The amendments lost in Committee were then respectively put by Messrs. Cooper and Laird. When the amendment of the latter gentleman was about being put, Hon. Mr. Palmer proposed as an ameniment to it the introduction of the words ‘equitable and’’ in tie second line. This gaye rise to some discussion as to whether the Speaker could constitutionally put an amendment to an amendment—the hon. Speaker himself declining to en- tertain it, on the ground that it was unusual and unparlia- mentary. A precedent for such a course having, however, been discovered in “ May on Parliament,’’ the objection against Mr. Palmer's amendment was not persisted in, and was agreed to without a division. The question was then taken on Mr. Laird’s amendment, as amended, and lost, the division being the same as in Committee, with the exeeption of the Hon.

Speaker, who veted against it in Committee, and the same as |

the division on Mr. Cooper’s amendment, both in Committee and in the House. The question was then taken on the whole Address as reported from the Committee, whether it should be agreed to by the House, when there appeared

For the Address — Mevsrs. Whelan, Wightman, Manro, Mooney, Colonial Secretary, Treasurer, Perry, Dingwell, McDonald, MeGill, Muirhead and Clark.—12.

Against it—Messrs. Cooper, McIntosh, Douse, Montgomery, Palmer, Laird, Haviland, Yeo and Longworth.—9.

The Address was then ordered to be engrossed, and was presented to His Excellency by the whole Hiouse on Wednesday.

The following is the Address as agreed to by the ITouse, aad presented to His Excellency :—

To His Excellency Dominick Daly, Lieutenant Governor and Commander-in-Chief, §&c. §&c. §c. May it please your Excellency:

We, Her Majesty's faithful subjects, the House of Aesem)!y of Prince Edward Island, respectiully thank your Excellency for the Speech with which you were pleased to open the present Session at a period so convenient for the ordinary transaction of public business.

It is a source of the highest gratification to know that the labours of the husbandwan have, during the past year, been blessed with an abundant harvest—a blessing, we feel assured, which will give an impetus to industry aud perseverance in agricultural pursuts. f

We are rejoiced to learn that the decrease in the revenue for the past year is unimportant; and that while there is nothing to apprehend from that fla-tnation for the stability and soundness of the resources of the Colouy, it is gratifying to know that the revenue for the year has been move than sufficient to meet the ordinary expenditure.
