The hon. member for Belfast Shir.

He (Mr. C.) believed, that on proper investiga- lion, it would be found, that our annual reports of barley and eheeotee proprietors should be deducted the land-tax. the sale- ries of agents, lewyere’ fees and other expenses, he questioned Ituch whether there was remitted to them in all, more thin or 3000! a veer. Mr. MOONEY. The Hon. Mr. Coles had said, that the edtlltioriel tax upon the proprietors. pro sod by him (Mr. Mooney would amount to no more than or 6001 a year ,- hut if the hon. leader of the Government would only give him- self the trouble of correctly ascertaining the amount, he would dad that there were 409,995 acres of land, leesed, let by egreeotent, or verbally, which number of acres, at one half- penuy per acre, would amount to 8691 He. That sum would ave defrayed the expense of 17 schools even in the year 1848. But there had been a great quantity of land lot. since that riod, arid more would he , before the expiration of the - uestion Bill. The proprietors of the wilderness lands would, as soon as they possibly could, transfer the burtlien of the tax from their own oulders to those of such poor tenants as might be disposed to tube portions or‘ such lands; and, there- _ re, by degrees, these gentlemen would get clear of the tax sl- together. But. Sir, continued the hon. member. I went to grapple with those gentry, by means of a fair, honest measure; what wonder at most is the opposition of the hon. the Treasurer to it. ’I‘hie measure is re idieted by him, as alto getlier impracticable, although a eimi er measure was support- ed by him last year. at there was good reason for ell that. as it to deceive me. that it was sup rted Ielt year! I el- most think it was. lfso, l have been ecsived, but when once eisied, 1 will watch the deeeiver with e lynx-eye for the re- maining days of my natural life. The id. tax was to defray in pant -he Civil List, end pay pensions to those least entitled eo diam. But be that as it may, have nothing to do with it at present. The question now is, “Shell we establish a system of educatioe by a tax on the land or not!” The different constitu- encies have prayed for it. Let not their prayer be in vein. 1 I'll in favor of Free Education ; hut, Sir, whet is proposed by ehe Report is no such thing. Where are the funds at our die- posel to meet the outlay ! We have them not, unless we shall cause those an. of whom I have spoken, to contribute their fair share. I said before, on a former day, let the proceeds ol the Fishery Reserves go to the support of general education, and then we might _call it a eyatein built upon a firm basis ; end I new-contend, that until general education IIMII be principeily provided for, by such means as I have pointed out, we shall never have a fund at our disposal for the establishment of any eyeteiu of education deserving to be styled free. The Go- vernment seem to stand very much in awe of Earl Grey ; but, if Responsible Government be what I believe it to be, there can no good or sufloientreeson why they should be so. I thank -the Government -for the present system: for, by their individual exertions. es mernliero the Legislature, eteedily sustained by a majority of this House, has the great reformation been effect- ed; a reformation -which has conferred upon the people the privilege of choosing both the administration and the Govern- ment oficials, end of choosing them in such a way as leaves them both responsible to the people, through their Re resents-i tires. Let them then do justice end feer nothing : at them ropoee none but just and equitable measures, end they will eve no-occasion to be afraid of Downing Street. It is the voice of the people which has placed them in the high position -which they now occupy; end, in those positions, the people will sustain them, so long as it sliiill be evident that the aim of all their measures is the public good; but. should they unfor- tunately become negligent of the public welfare, or oppose or refuse to sustain equitable end racticable measures, having for their object the promotion cl? the general good. then might they expect, that they, who had set them up. wou seize the Stet o portunity to take them down. All that I seek by my eaten ment is a simple measure of common justice from the landlords to the people. ' tors, and I will educate the children of their tenants; end, in return. their tenants will pay them their rents. ldr. DAVIES. He agreed with the hon. member who had just sat down, (Mr. Mooney) that with respect to the Bill for the int ition of }d. an acre on ell lands, to the extent of 500 ecres, eld by one individual, he (Mr. Mooney) and every member of the House who supported the Bill, had been ill ered end deceived ; end. to that fact, might be t in. on. in gf “,3 gmgndmgnt than on the table. The House, or at east the great ine'oiity of the House, bed_expectod, that the principle of that ill would be fully carried into operation: they had had reason given them to believe, the! it Wolild 50 I0 carried cut; end they end the people had siitticicnt cause of complaint, on secountol"the manner in which the measure was interce to end cast aside. Nor was that their only cause of complaint; for, although the Fishery Reserves had been to t at. it appeared that the Government wee afraid to take possession of them on behalf of the people, when they " choose their present Representatives. that the Lead Question would. at length, receive due consideration and be fully inves- tigated ; end yet there wee not a single word uttered concern- ing the enquiry by any member of the Government ; and. if it wee at ell adveited to, by any hon. member in the House, who wished to act in accordance with his own conscientious convic- tions concerning the question, end who wee honestly anxious to see the reasonable expectations of the people satisfied with regard to it, his observations were hooted end scoffed at, as if they were positively uujustifieble end absurd. If poor men had dared to seize or infringe upon public ri his end privileges, in the same manner as the proprietors had done, they would a dily have been brought to e strict end severe account for t e wrong; but it was otherwise with the wealthy proprietors, they were allowed to ofend with impunity; their protection against the course of justice. in such cases, lay in their having their pockets well lined with gold. lfeny 'ust measures with reference to these uestions had been carried out, or even if the Government he only manifested a disposition to carry out such measures, the amendment upon the table would not have ii ro .

For the redress of the alleged grievances of the people. i e Goyernment lirid already brie ell that they hiid had time end opportunity to effect; and, he believed, the people were, generally speaking, we_ll convinced that they (the Go- vernment) woul leave no real public grievance uriredressed w tell they had it in their wer to remedy. He could not imagine, that any reel friend of t very great and important .mee_rure of free education. could seek to hamper It by connecting it with the pro- taxation of delinquent proprietors, nor that it should depend on the Fihery Reserves for its support. I e, however, would not consent that the Government should be coerced into the adoption of a inensure which they knew rnttst prove fatal to the success of the School Bill. He looked upon the educational eclieiiie nv sufficiently dillicult of itself, without its being encumbered by any ciinnexiop with another of a still more complicated character; and were his own individual views with respect to it to be acted upon, it would. after it lied undergone all due consideration by the House, be purit- ed and submitted to the further consideratioii of the people until next Session; but he would. on no account, consent to mix up with it any measures of coercion, with respect to the proprietors. None but its enemies would seek to make this n pnrty question. The Ilon. the SPEAKER. He would support the amendment, provided it were so modified that the tax, whether dd. an ll cre._or whatever it might he, should be payable only on lends from whic the proprietors were ecturilly deriving revenues. The arnounttf public revenue which might be derived from it, would not be so in- considevable as the hon. member, the leader of the Government seemed to suppose: it would amount to £850 a year. at the lowest; which would he a very considerable addition to the sum proposed to he aniiiaiill set I rt for the support of education. _ Mr, 'I‘lIOl(N’l0N"bhserved, that for a long time previous to the imposition of the tea upon wilderiiess lands, the greatest cause of complaint against the proprietors was their retarding the advance- ment of the country, by refusing to lease their lands, or vi-lint the complainants pronounced to be equitable term-, end their thereby retarding the advancement of the country. Tlirougli perseverance. however, the Representatives of the people, in the end, succeeded in imposing a coal tux upon the wilderness lands ofthe proprietors. which were, I ereby, made it source of public revenue; iinil, so it the cause of complaint ngninsit such proprietors. iie refused to lease their lands on reasonable terms was removed. it respect, how- ever, to such proprietors as, from the first. but! been willing to lease, and had actually leased their lands, on fair and liberal con- ditions, both with respect to the amount of the rents, and the dura- tion of the leases, being mostly for it term of 999 yeani, it would not be acting fairly to impose an additional tax, end thereby place them on a worse footing than those who had yet eclined lensing on Illn- ilnr terms. And neither was it fair to seek to embarrass. the measure for general educetion—e measure which lind prospectively received the sanction of the whole House in the laist Session.-—l_»y coupling it with another measure, with respect to which, pnrties III the House might entertain opinions directly liostilo. He did not re- gard the contemplated educational measure tie it part question; and nothing calculated to excite party spirit, wish reference to it, oug to be, or would, he had thought, he brought forward by there who were sincerely favorable to the grand object of it. It those who supported the ttincndiiient ofthe hon. iiieiiiber, (Mr. Mooney.) de- sired, at the some time, to be accounted friends of tlio contemplated educational measure, well might the fair and honest supporters of it excliiiin, “ Save us from our friends." . Hon. Mr. WAI{BUIl'l‘ON. Wlietcvcr justice there might be in compelling the proprietors to priy the tax proposed by the amend- ileet under consideration, there would, in his opinion. be a ft impropriety in connecting its iin ition with the Bill for pro- vid'q free education. so fair as the principles and iuipositions con- templated by the Ileport want, u Bill framed in accordance there- with, would be a fair and just one. He wns, however, decidedly ofopinion, thnt the proprietors ought to contribute towards the eup- port of the free educational system; not only as respected tlii.-ir wilderness lands, on wlticli any last imposed was merely a pcnzil one; but also as regarded their leased oi tonnnted lnnde. from which 1 fl -i \< were dependent upon the industry. skill, and probity of their reti- ante for the regular receipts of their rents, was ll direct proof how much it concerned their interests, that the rising generation in Prince Edward Island should receive such an BIIIIC-tlloll, as might lay a sure foundation for the successful exercise of their skill and industry, and give that niornl tone to their chiiriir.-terr which would be the best guarantee ofiheir probity in all their dealings and innll their relations in life. But, uliilst lie was clearly convinced ofiill that, lie felt it to be liia duty to o pose the aiiieiiilinerit subiiiitted by the is. member r. Mooney; use he believed. that its adop- tion would all her defeat the intentions of the House with respect to the eetebllnident of a system free education in the Colony. He was too sincere and zealous an advocate for the inestirruihlei neral education. to consent to peril the success of the measure liy encumberi it with an imposition which would he sure to draw forth the most deterriiiiied opposition of the proprietors in a quarter, in which it was only too probable, that it might be ccces u . Mr. LAIRD. It was very true, that as the lion. the Colonial Secretary had just observed, the contemplated measure was it good so far as it was proposed to curry it; but it didnot go far enough. It was. he believed. admitted, on all hands, that the rent- receivin pro rietors had a direct iiitereiit iii the good education of the (do, w ether they were resident or absentee proprietors; and, that being the case, it wns quite clear that they ought to be made to contribute_to in system c good encrel educntion,—on account of the properties from which they derived certain rind very consider- able incomes, through the industry and skill of their tcnnnts,—iis mach certainly, if not riiore, than these tenants themselves would be bound to contribute by the conditions and cove-mints of their lug“, Ilg would not engage to support the Bill, unless the riiiieiid- merit of the lion. riienibur, Mr. Mooney, sliinild lie iiicorpimitod witli ' It would be unjust to allow the rent-rocciviiig proprietors to esca scot-free with respect to the support of tho uystoiu in con- templitlion, by rejecting the aaisridinent; but it would be an Iiotior to the House to adopt it. Mr CL. Ile was sorry to say, that he could not altogether approve of the course which some lion. iiieiiibcrs seemed determined to pursue, with respect to the government educational scheme. In- ritead of obstructing the progress of tlie riieiiaure. by iiieiiiliiig upon the adoption of an amendment. to whic ‘ the (sovi-rriineiit. as they valued the success of the measure. could not consent, because they were persuaded that its adoption would entirely ilelsat their ulijuci ; it would, surely, have been fairer and better for tlimie lion. iiiciii- bers, es ranking with the ministerial majority in the lloiise, to have plainly intimated to the Goverriiiierit, at the first, III-‘ll they would oppose their iiiensure, unless it should embrace the iiiiposiiiiin ofilie propristar tax for which they were then contending ; than to bring forward t e emenduient,end press its adoption, in the way they were doing, at the risk of leaving the Goverririicnt in the minority, on a question of policy of such riiiignitude an iiiiportniice us their scheme for free ucation. a t e question at ptaseiit stood, he himself would rntlior that the final decision of the I ouse, with res- ect to it, should be postponed until the next Session. It was well nowri that many erroneous ideas concerning its eoritcinplnted working, in particular as respected the amount of the tax end the eppointinents of tdchers, its well its some other details, had taken possession of the minds of some of the misinformed portion of the people.

The Hon. the SPEAKER acknowledged the diiliculty of is- lating on this question. If a Bill should pass, confined to II cw years only, in accordance with the motion of emendnient submitted by the lion. the Treasurer, when the law expired, it would have to be remedied; for three out of live of tlie fiirriiers, even after it trial would not be satisfied with it: ‘.ven in tlle ltoynlty of Cluirlotte- town, where it had been tried. and where it was said to be approv- ' ed, diliicultiee had been found. For instance, if it considerable number of pigs were confined within a fence, it great qtuntit of water would be required, and probably have to be obtained ruin a considerable distance, tvltich would matter of no triliin iiioriient to many.
