Mr. PERRY explained the reason why the Com- mittee had drawn up the report as they did. How. Mr. LONGWORTT stated that though be was a member of the Committee be had not signed the report, and gave as his reason that be could not consistently do so in free of the law whieh fixed the qualification of Teachers, and the salary which they should be allowed. Besides it was well understood in this House, when in Committee on a si- miliat report Isst year, that such petitions should not be en- tertained in future. Hon. Col. GRAY and one or two others having spoken to the same effect, the Committee rose, progress was repor'- ed, and the House adjoured, } AFTERNOON SITTING. Mr. COOPER from the Committee appointed to prepare | au address to Lis Excellency pursuant to the report of the| Speeial Committee appointed to report on .a petition from | Lots 42 and 45, praying for the opening of a new line of road, presented to the House the draft of an address, which | was adopted, and the same Committee that prepared it was appoinied to present it to Lis Pxeellency. Mr. COOPER presented another address respecting 1 proposed wharf at Ked Point, Lot 46, which was committed to a Committee of the whole House, Hlon. Mr. M:Aulay in the Chair. The address proposed that a Commissioner or Commis-| Sioners be appointed to examine the site of the wharf and to report on the practicability of building it, and of completing a breakwater commenced at Souris by the inhabitants. Se- verat hon, members spoke against having the address pre- sented, saying that the measure passed through the House the first tumc without due cousiderativa, and of the unprac- ticability of building the wharf, aus said that sending of oili- cers. to report, would only incur ucedless expense without auy benefit being derived from their labors. Mr. COOPER said he had little expectation that the wharf would be of much service, but that i would not cost wuch to send a man to report on the subject, which would satisfy the people, aud he ihought the Committee could not vbject to that. Ulon. Mr. LLENSLEY remarked that the report on which the address was founded, had been agreed to, and if objec- tious were to be urged, that they should have been staied before. After this subject was fally discussed, the Committee de- cided not io present the addrsss to [lis Hxeellency : and ia reference to the new line of road which one portion of the in- habitants were in favor of having opened, and to which an- Other portion were opposed, it was suggested that the people call a meeting among themselves to ascertain whether the majority were in favor of having the read opened, The Speaker resumed the Chair, and on motion the House resolved itself ito a Committee of the whole to resume the consideration of the report of the Specia] Committee on Teach- er’s petitions—Mr. J. Yeo im the Chair. The Committee went through the rcport paragraph by paragraph, and having wade a few amendurcuts ib Was read by the clerk again aud i» as follows :— Your Committce to whom were referred the severa! peti- tions praying aid to Teachers who have not complied wiih all the provisions of the Kducation Act, aud other references hav- ing examined the said petitions, reeoumuend that the several undermentioned persons be allowed as follows :— ‘némas O'Brien tor nine months, £15 Isabella Porsyth for six mouths, ending ih January, IS6L, Henry deekey, Lot 27, for one year, Archibald Bickford, for 12 months up to Sth March, 1861, 25 0 Charles Fowle in full, up to April, 1861 2 10 Jobo M'Pougall, Marray Harbor Road, for ten mont'is to Ist February, 1861, dane Green, for one year, John UO.

Your Committee submit, that when the House isin supply, a sun sufficcient be appropriated for the services herein set furth, agreeably to the foregoing reeommendations. In the discussion on the varivus petitions which passed un- der review, the House almost unanimously came to the deter- mination not again to receive petitions of the kind then be- fore them ; and that the present year would be the last that Perry, Thornton, Kelly, Coles, Whelan; Messrs. Cooper, | Conroy, Sinclair, Sutherland, Llowat—10. Miss M‘Aulay’s petition was presented by Hon.

Mr. SUTHERLAND.—I thiuk her school is at the bead of St. Peter’s Bay. m Mr. OWEN doubted if there were such a person in exist- ence. Hon.

LIGHTIIOUSES. ‘The petitions on the table praying for the construction and maintenance of Lighthouses on the North Cape and Hast | Point were severally taken up and read. Mr. CONROY wished to know what information the Go- vernment had received in answer to their communications subject. Hon. Mr. LATRD said the matter was not yet definitely settled; replies from the other Governments had not been received, and we could not be expected to coustiuct and maintain Lighthouses ourse! ves. | fon. Col. GRAY said it wuld be unfair to expect that this Island should build a Lighthouse on the North Cape ; . . : . . without the assistance of the neighboring Provinecs. He _hoped the Canadian Government would come forward with a proper offer. Lighthouses on the North Cape aad Hast Point would be a great advantage to the commerce of Ca- inada. tle had seen 490 sail of British merchantmen an- ' a} od " ze ) b = , } ~ J | chored near Quebee. The other Provinces ought to construct the Lighthouses, and this Island should contribute a very sma!l part, such as keeping up the supply of oil. Hon. Mr. COLES would objest to any sich course as that this Island should be saddled with the expenses of keeping | up light. Lt was seldom heard that the vessels belonging to this Colony were east away ou these Capes; it was generally the ships of other couatries. Ue did not see that we should be expeeted to contribute very largely towards either eou- - . . . ' ' | siructing or maintaining Lighthouses that were to be a much greater benefit to our beiguoors ihau ourselves. lion. Mr. M‘AULAY thought that all this [louse should | esire the Government to urge forward | do at present was to d ' the Governments of the neighbouring provinees in the matter. Hou, Mr. PERRY was of opiniou that the Home Govern- | ment should do the most towards building the Lighthouses, | as the shipping of the old coustry would receive the greatest benefit from them ; still, if they were erected they would be of gieat service to the fishermen on the coast. [vea a small light, such as this Island could keepup, would be a great benefit to them. If the other Governments would not assist in erecting large Lighthouses, he thought this [louse should trade. | Hon. Mr. COLES said as this was a matter of great im- portance, he would move that the House do now resolve it- ‘self into a Committee of the whole on the petitions which had been taken up for consideration. Lle then proceeded to read some correspoudenee with the Colonial Office in reference to Lighthouses, aud maintained therefrom that it was the inten- tion of Her Majesty’s Government to ereet such on Cape ' Race in Nevwfoundlaud, and on the West Cape and East Point of this Island, and that the dutics to support them were | to be eo!leeted in the old country; but if not paid there they were to be paid in the Colonies. He thought the House should go into Committee on the petitions, and see what fur- ther preceedings should be taken ou the subject. flon. Mr. LONG WORTH said that a correspondence was She was a licensed Teacher, | such would be entertained. ‘The main arguments employed | going on between the goverument of this Island and the Go- in advocating the aduption of such a course were, that the yernments of the neighbouring Colonies with respect to this methed the House was then using was an infringement of the subject. Lighthouses on the West Cape and Hast Point School Act and aa interference with the duties of the Board | would be of more advantage to the people of Canada and New of Efucation ; and further, that the course Was unreasonable Brunswick than to us, and consequently the Government here when such a large portion of tie general revenue was spent) is of opiuion that the Legislatures of these Colonies should fur the purposes of Education, When the Committce had gone throush the several peti- tions, hon. Mr. ‘Kuoruton said the Special Commutice on the petitions were prepared to give their reasons for not aceeding to the prayers of those whiet they rejected ; /assist in their erection, Vart of the expense should be borne | by each of the Colonies, and perhaps a part by the Lmperial Government. Lt would also be a matter of importange to , the Government of the United States. Our Government do would not cost the Government a great deal. But as the | House appeared to be determined to grant no large sums, be ‘thought it would perhaps be better to have a Committee ap-| pointed to examine the ground and to report next Session. | | As the people were situated at preseut, all their shipping had | to be done by boats, Ilon. Mr. HAVILAND said he must congratulate the hon. member for the able manner in which he had advocated the interests of the petitioners; but at the same time the [louse should first consider whether it could afford a sufficient sum out of the public funds for the object prayed for. Al- ready they were taxed heavily for keeping up public works, and they should consider whether they could undertake any more new works, Ifa Committee were appointed and they reported favorably, he thought it would be a kind ofa pledze dai théy tfould go on with the work. Mr, RAMSAY spoke in favor of acceding to the prayer of the petitioners ; and several hon. members having express- ed their views on the subject, a Committee composed of Mr. J. Yoo, Mr. Ramsay and Me. Conroy, was appointed to ex-| umine the site of the proposed wharf, and to report to the | [louse next Session. : = The petition of James Treanor, Lot 32, complaining of the refusal of a ‘Tavern license, was again read and discussed. Hon. Mr. UAVI LAND who presented the petition, stated that as the law stood the officer was justified in refusing to erart a license. The words of the Act—* neighboring magis- ‘trates’ admitted, he said. of various constructions. The i Colonial Secretary, in this instance, thought that when Mr. ; Treanor passed over the Magistrates bear him, and eame to ‘those 4 or 5 miles distant that he was not acting im aceor- dance with the spirit of the Act, and so refused to grant a | license. 7 Mr. CONROY said he thought tavern licenses could be , got with too great facility. In his neighborhood he knew a wan, to speak advisedly, who got a license to sell liquors, and who had not the consent of one-third of the people within ja mile of the Schoo! ; and there were 3 resident Magistrates in ithe district, of whom only one signed his paper; but that ihe travelled 10 or 11 miles to get Magistrates to subscribe I | iis document, which enabled him to procure a license to the 7 P istric 7 son! e great annoyance of the pe ple of the district. The people lhad erceted a beautiful Church and soon found that the words of Dean Swift were trae— ‘* Wherever there’s a Church of prayer | The Devil builds a Chapel there’”— ‘for a blackguard had built a rum shop along side, | thought the law required to be amended. Hon Col. GRAY said in any Dictionary you would find i that the word neightoring bad several siguifications, aud it was a question with him whether it should not be altered so |far ag to say nearest instead of “ neighboring.” But that Te ‘crotchety magistrate, or cne violently opposed to anything in the shape of a traflic in vinous or spirituous liquo:s, and so might set his face against a house of entertainment altogether. | Ifthe law, however, said 2 or 3 out of 5 of the nearest magistrates, it mivht obviate the difficulty. | £#fter several hon. members had spoken on this question, ithe Louse agreed to commit it to a Cummitice of the whole | House on Monday next. | Hoo. Mr. HENSLEY presented a petition of John Furd, |praying for a return of the sale of spirits seized aud sold by a preventive officer in 1858, which was again read, and a few rewarks having been made, it was referred to a Special Com- | mittee composed of Wons, Messrs. Uleusley, Thornton and Wightman, TUE CELEBRATED SPRING. | The petition of Jannarias M*Adam was then taken up, in) reference tu the celebrated spring, aud discussed at g ca! length, ny oy ; oa. Mr. COLES who presented the petition, said the tition was for the benefit of invalids who have recouise to re 1 in his 0.1 he U » should cun- and in his O.in-on the puse should cou ihe famous spring ’ tribute something towards the opening of the road which leads to the spring The path leading to it went through a the way. | visited it, as well as from this Island, aud yetting to it were increased it would be an advantage t Colony. liad a register been kept last year, he thought it if the facil.ties for oe the | | different places visited the spot. “near it with the exception of a small grove of bushes ; and to ‘secure a good right of way, at-least £15 might be granted by the Llouse. ‘here could be uo doubt as to the viriue of the water. A man from the Scotch Settlement, whose vision was so imperfect that he could not distinguish between a man abd a woman, washed bis eyes in the spring, and took away two bottles of the water which effected a complete cure. Another individual who had severe pains in his limbs, used the water of the Spring, and was so far recovered that in a short time he could hop about quite lively; and these in- stances were a proof of the virtue which was in the water. The spring itself is on a piece of rising ground, and though there is bo running water from it, still the ground neas is saturated with the water of a neighboring bog, and in spring it is difficult for cripples to go to the spot. A clergyman in the vicinity who heard of the cures effected, aad having doubts of the efiicacy of the water, took.some of it, and some weil water, and put each into separate bottles which he kept for some weeks, at the end of which time the water from the well was quite offensive, and that from the spring quite as pure as when it was put iuto the bottle. Mr. Coles said as some hon. members might not be aware of the way in which the spring was discovered, he might say that two young girls, ;one of whom was so much afllicted by pains ia her arms that , 8he could scarcely sleep at night, were looking for the cows one evening, when they discovered it. One of them bad read of springs ia the ueigiboring Provinces which were be- neficiul to invalids, and it struck her that the small spring which they had just found with no apparent outlet might The spring itself was in an but the reasons | not wish to take action autil the correspondence has arrived | possibly be one of that description, and that they might try oii » vail’ he t convratulate Saat .

Hlon. Mr. WIGHTMAN said the other Colonies appeared to be very tardy in coming to our assistance. It was 10 1815 He considered at the present { would be premature for the on the petitions, or to reler much pearer haviog Lighthouses now than then.

He had already spoken of the | benefit which the Commissioner for the tenantry, on the | Land question, derived from the use of the water of the |spring. In short, if the spring were so beneficial, the Sons (ot Temperance might have cause to turn their attention to it, | for, its waters might be better fur them than Stretchem. Mr. OWEN said he heard of an old gentleman who was ‘ailing who sent for some of this celebrated water, and the jand when the old gentleman was afterwards asked if the ‘water did him any good, said—* QO, yes! it did me much good.” ‘I'he House had no evidence that the right of way to wood. oS it had beew given up.

Mr. SLNCLALR thought the principal part of the virtue of the water of the spring was attributable to the exertion “requisite to get to it, and to the ordinary ablutionary exer- cises which the invalids went through, Mr. COOPER related the circumstances connected with the discovery of the medicinal qualities of the Peruvian bark, and he thought any virtues which the celebrated spring possessed were of a vegetable character. He thought persons ueed not be discouraged from using the water, for it in all probability possesse] medicinal qualities. Hon. Col. GRAY said—Mr. Speaker, there has been so much bitterness comming'ed this Session with the streams of eloquence which flowed trom hon. members on both sides of ihe House, that it is now refreshing to hear of something like sweet waters mentioned. I may say I am glad we have something in this our owa smal} Colony of so much import- ance as the spring about which we have just heard s> much, My most sanguine expectations of finding anything valuable in this [sland would only induce ine to search for coal, but L would not be dissatisfied if I discovered iron; but now sinee we have waters of such wonderful magntic virtue, my opinions of this wouderful courtry, the land of my birth, are raised much higher. Having been forced by extreme ill health contracted during severe service in tropical countries to visit the famous thernal waters of Germany—what did 1 see at such places as Wisbaden, Swalbach, Schlangenbad and ‘T'aeplitz 2—Why each owner of a spring living in a pa- lace, a millionaire; so many crowd to the spring that he be- }comes rich at once. If the virtue of this famous spring is | what the hon. leader of the Opposition has represented it, I | will purchase the spring and give £5000 for it. Yes; and || would have a Jine of railroad laid down from this Town to ‘the spring, and [ would have steamers coming into this | port, and pouring in thousands of the maimed, the halt and ‘the blind, all on their way to this famous spring. I was ‘told of one gentleman who went to the spring, however, who (had the misfortuce to have an imped.ment in his gait on jaccount of his legs being of unequal length, but L was in- formed by my hon. friend the learned member from the Kast | Point, that when he returned there was not the slightest dif- ference in the fength of his legs. I was glad to hear that ithe eyes of the respected aud hon. gentleman ihe Commis- -_ /sioner for the tenantry were improved by the water of this | | spring ; and { wish some of the tenantry would also go and wash /heir eyes in the spring too, to get some of the dust out |which the hon. leader of the Opposition has thrown into them. I think this petition is one of a character which {should not have been laid before the House. | Hon, Mr. COLES moved that the petition be referred to | the Commitiee of Supply. | Mr. OWEN moved in amendment that it be referred to the mem)ers of the district to provide for, ‘The amendment earried, The petition from Lots 23 and 24, praying for a Ferry at | unter River, was read and referred to the members of the idistrict; also the one from Lots 50, 57, 53 and GO, praying jfor the re-establishment of a Kerry at China Point. | The petition in reference to Hillsborough School, after being ably supported by Mr. Beer, who presented it, was jreferred to a Committee of the whole Uouse, when in consi- 'deration of the Bill to cousolidate and amend the several | Laws, relating to Education. he petition of Alexander M: Donald, Harbor Master, presented by Lions Mr. Wielaa, was rejecied. ‘I'he petition of the School Trustees ot George- | town was referred to a Special Committee, composed of Lions.

GRAY said it must be evident to every hon. ‘member of this House that such a petition required con- sideration. ‘There was, perhaps, uo better proof of the high civilization of a country than that its modes of transit should | be easy. |The **sinews,” however, were required, and he hoped they | would be suppl.ed. As the ferry was conducted at present, | with only oue steamboat, if a traveller with a horse and car- | riage could not get along until late on Saturday night, he | would be under the necessity of remaining uotil Tuesday morning. He himself had to remain all day at the other side one Monday, on account of the boat not ranning. He would move that the petition be referred to the Committee of Supply. Hon, Mr COLES remarked that the petition was very gene- rally signed, and thought that a better recommendation in its favor could not be obtained. It was very desirable that there should be a steamboat on the ferry every day of the week ; but it was well known that one boat could not run all the time, as she had to be laid up once a week to clean boilers. Tais terry bad hitherto cost the country at large nothing, and therefore this request should not be refused. Mr. HOWAT, before the motion was put, would say a word. Lt appeared that the parties crossing had to pay a |fare, and he did not see that this House should be called upon 'to vote money ‘in the matter, Unless hou. members saw mands a splendid prospect of the tine Harbor of Bedeqne ang: the Straits of Northumberland in the distance.
