Because the Limits of the Water Lots are not visible—— some extending to the Channel, and some a very small dis- tance from the shores—in consequence of which, persons confined are much more likely to commit involuntary breaches ot'their Bonds, than if the Limits were confined, cording‘in‘tbvnmendmem “neuritic-4'1, to'thw Towns and Royalties—the bou’ndaries ofwhich are, in gene— ral, much more clearly defined. 4 The Council do not conceive that the recent English ‘Aets, abolishing imprisonment for Debt, materially bear "'ilpou the present question, inasmuch as those Acts contain ‘prcvisions for the protection ofthe'Crcditor against fraud"- lent Debtors, which are not in force in, and cannot, in the ,opinion ofthe Council, be made applicable to this country. The Council conceive that much inconvenience has al— ready resulted from the extension ofthe limits; being fully impressed with the conviction, that many persons posses- .sing 'ineans sufficient for the discharge of their debts, have .thereby evaded the payment oftbern. it v ._ r i ' ‘ Aconferonce is to be held on Monday next, when the above ‘ reasons will be formally coininiinicatml by the Council to the House. On Thursday, a Bill was received from the Council, providing ‘ a more easy and less expensive mode ot'prncecding by action of ~ejcctmcnt, in order to dispossvss tenants wilfully holding over “tenements or premises situate within either of the towns of Charlottetown, Georgetown or Princetowu, after the expiration of ,tbeir lease or agreement ;—also a bill to prevent the burning of Limestone within the town ofCharlotietown, or on the Water ‘ townswomen have not availed themselves ofthe opportunity which such aii establishment affords for acquiring an cle- gant style ofwritinrr. The grand excellence in the arrange- ment of Mrs. Jamicson’s classes is, that they are accommo- dated to both young and married ladies; and those who in early life may have failed to acquire a proficiency in this in- dispensable accomplishment, have the means afforded them of redeeming tbeirtimo,and of as far excelling those whom, perhaps, they have been accustomed to envy, as they have been inferior to them—and that, too, with the least possible sacrifice of time. And ifwo have reason to be astonished at the little apparent interest taken in‘tlie writing department, we think it still more extraordinary that advantage is not more generally takcn ofthe offer of instruction in Music. It is not, perhaps, strange that where so many .Mistresses of'the I’iaiio, permanently resident in our Town, are affording pro- bably eqyal advantagcsfor the cultivation ofthat instrument, few should accede to Mrs. Jainieson's terms; but when it is taken, into account that she is the only professor of the i ' ‘ ' in this place, and that it is an instrument _, i V . ’79" .. .

We can scarcely believe that those ofour rea- ders who are fond of Music—and who is not ?——but who do not yet play, will longer refrain from learning—especially when they may do so under such favourable circumstancos.

Sm; In respect to the reports of observations made by me on some ofthe measures in progress before the House of Assembly, I have to observe, that I consider these inaccurate. I have pir- ticnlarly to remark, that opinions are attributed to me which were uttered by other members, and not by me, and some given out by me are attributed to others. In respect to the Small Debt Bill, 1 was opposed to extending the jurisdiction to £10, unless under the restriction that the debtor should, for three months after judgment, have power to pay in produce ofilie same kind he agreed to pay at contracting the debt; or that no one should have power to sue till three months after the date nfilie last arti- cle in account. I also have very strong doubts as to the propriety of making the Commissioners go out of office every three years, unless re-appointed by the Governor; " and the circumstance ofa similar procedure being brought forward, In regard to the Road Commissioners, strengthens my objections. .Here are fifty offices vacated every three years. and the new election ism be managed by one Elector, viz: the Governor. Had One—third or one-fourth gone out of office every three years, it would have been less ob- jectionable, and would have answered all good purposes. A few unwartliy men may, by the proposed plari, he got rid of, and the whole fifty may he more careful ofany direct lllJllsliCe or neglect in their ofiices; but must be more subservient to the purposes of the Governor—that is to say, if'tliey wish to retain 'their offices, and had rather please the Governor secretly than, by an open avowsl ofopposition, wherever he may move for, or take mea- sures contrary to the interest of the Colony, determine him to remove such refractory officers at the first opportunity. _ _ i The matter, as far as regards the extension of the Jurisdtclmllv was fully debated before the last House, and I, have seen no, rea- son to change the opinion I then expressed. As to the mode of contracting debts, I know it is impracticable for many who, throughout the summer, have contracted debts wrtl) ope Demure traders, to put nuts or potatoes on board the vessel WllIclhfihe ira- der may bring into the nearest buy or harbour.

Although hearing interest, 'ou would not likely receive it in payment, as it is not at all times convenient to pay out £97 By the measure pro- posed, no loss would be sustained by the industrious part of the community. Money speculators would then have to turn their attention and means to some other source of profit than the present, by which they are enabled quietly, at the end of the year, to take tlicir£1000 worth of Warrants to the Trea- sury, and draw their £60 interest on that and every like sum ; or, at every call of Warrants, go and receive both principal and interest, and be again ready for further specu- lations in that way. The large amount ofcapital that would thus be thrown into circulation, by doing away with the in- terest on all Warrants hereafter issued—(I do not wish that those already issued should be interfered with, but be paid ofl'as fat as there may be fiinds to meet them)—-wo_uld, in a great measure, tend to relieve the present depression, and would at once relieve the country from a heavy tax, in the shape of interest, which, it'not remedied, will be annually increasing. In fact, the amount now paid, for that purpose, would about pay one-fourth of'the whole amount expended on the Roads throughout the Island.
