His Grace, in this despatch, proposed that the local Government should be autherized to issue, annually, a certain amount of debentures, and te apply these debentures in assisting te buy up the landlords’ rights, with their consent. His Grace turtier proposed that sales should not be compulsory ou the laudlords, but that a conclude by praying Her Majesty idee Proprietors of land in Prince anes ree the Uiiless canse to the contrary be shewy tu legal tribunal to be vrevided by Her Moj ° sill Living eflect to the Comnuissioners’ A vee will receive the Royal’ sanetion, As I oral aware of any method by Which this questir » ; be submitted to any feces of hae and a such method, | considered that eee ane satictactory to them would be that senna mines irom the Law Officers of the Crown, first, wh? ther the so-cailed Award were, any objection, founded upon any in itself, liable te prineiple of law were possible, by + 0 R1V6 fleet ty tw w i should uot be given to the proposed Bill, I transunit a copy of the auswer whieh J hie received to my question.

As tw the en on which this matter ought ta be , 1 teel litte Ju the first place, 1 disusiss the idea of i on the Proprietors, by law, any general rate commutation. ae The enquiries of the Commissioners were pointedly directed ta this objection, und they have pronounced it uuatiainable. 1 think that the objectiops te a compulsary arbitration are equally insuperalie. The expense would probably be so large, and the i difficulty of securing a fair adjudiciation, and compelling a Tenavt te perform the terms ot aa unfavorable one would, ‘Ne ublic opinion, be so great, that the rae coal not, with auy justice, be required to mit to thes. . I also dismiss the notion ef any Imperial Guar- antee or Advance of Money. The Legislature of Priuce Edward Isiand must take 1 as certain that Her Majesty's Government cannot propaye any such measure to Parliament, . As, however, the project of a Loan, under aa Impenal Guarantee, has met with ucsversal favor, I assume that means might be round in the © to pay the interest ona Loan of less amount, out such a gnarantee, I also infer from the tere of the Commissioners, that uny general rate of commutation which is adopted or indicated by authority, should hinge more or less upon the reserved rent. arrangements for establish ag a depot ol their | — in fact, remarked nothing but the flash, prior Por some time past from the impossibility of parties being unable to deposit their earn- | ings in the Proviscial Saving’s Bank the Archbisho sume tlemen of the city, have dete risined to opena Bank of Deposit,where the iadustrivas clase- es can invest thei earnings.

That this assessed rate of purchase, viewed as receiving a certain moral support trom Government, should regulate the amount of assistance to be given in each case from public tunds. As the teri of commutation proposed by his Grace Were in sume respects less favorable to the tenantry than these which had already been of> j tered by the proprictors, and as it secued likely that little practical good would result trom their Ladeption, in consequence ef his Grace stating tha | they would net be compulsory on the laudiords, }it was deemed expedient that Delegates should be sent to England te ascertain the views of ‘der | Majesty’s Government, and to facilitate a settle- i} ment of the question. The Report of the Delegates will be laid before yon, .

The Adunnistiator of the Government of Nova Scotia has addressed communications to me on t ae From the eagerness with which I have been pressed to coufirm the Award of the Cogume sioners, IT infer that the Award is acceptable to- the Tenants, that is te say, that the Tenents are ‘ready to pay the fair price of their lands—as ‘settled by impartial avbitrators—in instalments _spread over ten years, and te continue the pay- | ment of reat—or raiber, ot interest or the unpaid ‘stalments—untii the land is thus From the scheme of the Proprietors, U wer li their rights, for fifteen years purchase of reserved rent, paid at ence in cash. Bart ceive that basis of Commutation to have been fective, for two reasons :—first, that it an imznediate cash payment in full. whiel thie Tenants cannet make; and secondly, that it the price of an Estate solely on the rate of re served rent, without reference to the question whether that rent had been, or could be collected. It could net be expected that Tenants who had never paid their rents, would buy uff their obligas tion to do so at the rate of fifteen years purchase. — With these preliminary observations, I desire te consider the present condition of the question with a view to determine not what is just or legal, on Which of course no agreement can be expected, vor yet what would be most advantageous to the the subject of a proposed Union of the Provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Ed- i ward Island, under one Government and Legisla- | wished — which is an easy but imprac ture. 1 have directed that these commanications be laid before you. i A Bill te prevent the fraudulent marking of , merehandize will be proposed to you. You will alse be asked to take under your consideration a suggestion made by the Seeretary of State for the Colonies respecting the establishment of a Mari- time Court of Enquiry into the causes of wrecks. Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly : ‘The Estimates for the current year will be laid before yeu. They have beeu framed with due regard to economy. The Accounts tur the past year will also be submitted to you. I observe, with great satis- faction, that the Revenue of the past year tar exceeds that of any previous year, and leaves a large surplus over the expenditure. Mr. President and Honourable Gentlemen of the Legislative Council ; Mr. Speaher and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly : I rejoice to be able te congratulate you on the general prosperity of this Culouy during the past year. The labors of our agricultural population were blessed with an abundant harvest. Au unprecedented dewand inereased materially the value of our staple produce; and the quan- tity which left our shores exceeded the export of any previous year. 1 now voumit te you the business of the Scs-_ sion; may your deliberations conduce to the | honer and welfare ot this Island.

It wnust steadily be borne in mind that in eall- ing upon the proprietor to relinquish bis present claims, the Colony is calling upon him to saerifiee admitted legal rignts. By what inducement eae he be reconciled to that sacrifice? Plainly by giving increased security to those rights which he retains. Payment in cash would dispose of all question of security, but this tie Tenant canned etfect. Payment by instalments gives the Land- lord no fresh security. It is merely the eubstitu- tion of one promise to pay tor another, the parties remairing the same. It appears to me, however, that in mang cases, at least, the position of the Landlord would materially bettered, if he reeeived the seeurity the Colony, instead of the security of the Tenaut tor his annual income; or, in other words, if the purchase money were paid down at onee, bub were paid either wholly or partially in Debentures. 1 will assume, in order to facilitate the explana tion of my meaning, that the purchase paid, one third in cash, and two thirds m 2 tures. I should then, in the first ee that the Government should be authori to issue na nually a certain amourt of Debentures, bearing six per cent interest — say not exceeding fifteen thousand pounds a year tor tive years, — and to apply these Debentures 'n buying up, or in assist- ing to buy, the Landlord's rights, with their cen sent, at a fixed rate of purchase, which I will call the Government price. When a Tenant is pre- pared to pay down in eash one third of the Ge vernment pies.
