There were not mes who could conveniently sink a capital ef_ ‘I000 or £2000 in sue a speculation; and still fewer would be willing to do so, unless suitable docks were provided to ensure the safety ofthe boat during lresvy gules and seas, by which she might, rwiss be desired in pieces. e, for one, would consent to guarantee to the Goverrirrrent the arirount of ‘£800 for such a pur- pose, if .\Ir. Ilaszard, with that uiidcrstandirig would enter into the contract. _ lion. Mr. POPE. IIe would recommend the procuring of an iron boat which, it was well known, ivould draw much less water than one built of timber. Such ii boat could easily be procured frorri the United States. But such it boat could not always ply: it would enesssr to lny her up at times for cleaning and repairs; and to prevent lrspoiivenicnce to the public, on such occasions, it would be necessary to_hsve another stearrier to supply her place. Some hon. members in t, perhaps, object that the expense of the two boats ‘ would boas lnsupcrable obritiicle in the wiry of suclin scherrre. But to such he would reply, that if two suitable sniull steam boats. with necessary riccoutrnodations, always kept neat trn elenn, were at on at Charlottetown, to ply directly across the Ilillsborotigli and tween Cbarlottetoivn and Capt. Cuuiber|snd's, the speculation Would prove a liiglrl . roiiruiierative one; for, besides the regular passengers of necessity, families and parties of pleasure would, almost every fine day during the season, he found availing tlieiii- Ielves of the agreeable mode which those boats would afford them, to make trips in one direction or the other. The only valid objec- tion which there could be to such it scheme, was the want of spare capital. The hon. member concluded bv saying, he thought the best way fortbe present would be for the Ilouse to agree to place 12200 at the disposal of_ the Government, to lay doivn protection blocks and accommodation steps for the ferry boat. and to allow the Go- vernment to make the best of it. The question was then put on the following resolution, which had previously been _subrriittcd by lllr. Davies, with it blank, the blank eing filled in with the sum suggested by the lIon. Mr. Cities, and with the understanding, that the suggestion of that iron. member should lie acted upon. Resolved as the opinion of this Committee, that a sum not exceed- ing £200 be placed at the disposal of the Goverritneut, sullicietit to lay down protection blocks and accorntnod.ition slips to both sides of C arlottetowri ferry. .'lIr. DUUSE moved the sum of £300 instead of £200; that, as he said, the Government might have a sufficient suui at their dis- pos.-il to enable them to get the work well done. The Clinirrnan then put the question on the lower sum. and the Resolution as submitted was agreed to. MORNING SlT'l‘l.\'G. Witti.v:so.\v, February ll. _ Hon. Mr. COLES moved that a Despatrh from Earl Grey. in answer to an sdvlrcss ofthe House of last Session. relative to the retention of certain face by the late Colonial Secretory, Willi Wllll I0 Mcornpanyirig Doruirrciit, a co fr is es- patch, from llis Excellency to Earl Grey, on the sime subject. ' a clerk having read both Di-spatclit-s, Hon. Mr. COLES rose and srid. Altlioiigli it appeared Earl Grey recornini-ridcd the House to l~t the matter dzop, as the question occurred some tim'- a,ro, and the abuse was re- medied; yet his Lordship seemed to be of opinion, that all part‘- ties from who'u more than the fair fr-es had been taken, had their remedy at law against Mr. llaviland. It was for the House to say what action they could take upon no matter. Mr. DOUSE felt that, if any furtlter notice was to be taken of the subject, it ought to be at once, and not put off till, per- haps, the last day of the session. He (i\lr. II.) had plenty hanging over his head. Let the House the-n shew a good feel- ing, ar.d come to the point at once. Ile (Mr. D ) had express- ed his iipiriion heretufore,and was pleased to find that the semi- ments of Lord Grey were, as he expected they \vou'd be. Hon. Mr. COLES thought, if the lion. InPII|i)PI were in the same situation as many of these piities who had P-llrl, to the Iste Secretary, more than the law allowed, he would be one of the first to see him=elf righted. The late Seer.-tary bail achno.vled,{ed himself wrong; because, after the Ilouse had moved in the niatter, he then commenced to pity the ti-es, pre- viously kept by hiimelf, into the Treasury. As a proof that the hon. member for Belfast would not submit to acts of wrong done against himself, it might be remembered that he had been very glad to get the House to assist him in recovering from that very same gentleman money s detained by him as Receiver tn Chancery. Despatchcs laid on the l'ab‘.e. Ilon. Mr. WARBURTON‘S Bill relative to the Government Advertisements and notices, was, read it third time and passed.

Mr. Cotes rook oecssios te ebsvrve, with reference to wlist had been said. on a farmer eesaslss, with t to the lstroileetlos of uritvmsl sslrs , lhstbewslldmfssedssstleealq iusyotcr He would like to see the right of voting at elections extended to all men of the age oftweuiy-one years an upwards, iv could read and write. When education should be extended to all, as he hoped it soon would be, and the contemplated sys- tern should have been in operation for a few years, very few oftwenty-one, would, ifio be able to read and write were the urilificstioii, be excluded from the exercise ofthe elective rsnchisc. And there would then be no longer any occasion to swear electors; for all that the Returning Otficcr would have to do, would be to present the qualification section of the Act to the person coming forward to vote; and, it" he could read it and sign his name, his right to vote would be at once estab- lished. He did not, however, mean that an educational qua- lification should be the only one, or that it should interfere with the 40:1. one, which should still be retained. The Bill as introduced having been gone through, clause by clsuse,rind agreed to, the resolittiuns ofthe Iloir. Mr. Wlrelan, for the equalization of the franchise, which have been already published in a previous report, were taken into coiisiderstion. ‘be broad principle set forth in these Rcsolritions, namely that population slrotild be the basis of rcpreseiitation was silrriitted by all; but although, even by the llllfl. members for Prince own and Royalty, Messrs. Montgomer and Clark, as well as by others, it was adruitted that the proposal for adding Lot 18 to that Town and Royalty, so as to make the electors more respectable as to their nurriber, was perfectly in accordance with that principle, and carried with it it sort ofprirnofacic evidence of fairness; yet they, the lion. members for Prince Town and Royalty. contended that iftho electors oftliat Town and Royalty were, in a manner, to be ‘tr-privcd of their elect- ive franchise, it ought not to be altogether wrtliuut price or compensation. If, urged the hon. iiicrnbcrs. the electors of ‘mice Town and Royalty are no longer to be allowed to ex- crcise the cl.-ctivc frariclrtsc, as electors ofa 'l'uwii and Roy- alty, but as county electors, in corrrrnori with those ofa Township, it was only just and reasoiialrlc that, with respect to taxation, they should be put upon the satire footing as the country \'iiters with whom they were to be associated; and that, instead of having to pay at the rate of 163. 8d. they shotild have to my, like tlretn, at the rate of‘.’s. 0d. only per I00 acres. ' ‘ii an observation of the Hon. Mr. (Jules to the effect that the Electors of Prince ' ‘own and Royalty could have little to corriplain of on the score oftaxatioir, when comparing themselves with the clcctors of Lot I8; for in Prince Town and Royalty they were fret-holders, in virtue of Government 6 (.ararits,wlieretis on Lot I8 they were generally subject to rent; the hon. members replied, each adduciiig particular and dis- tinct facts, that the l0\\'n Lots of rince Town and Royalty had cost the grantees not less than J."-l each, or about I03. an acre, in the priyrricnt of fees of oliice and the expense ofsur- vcys; and that a few years ago some ofthe Lots sold for as mrrcli as £25 cricli. It was true, they said, that the number oftlreir electors was very small, but it would, in their opininrr, be very unfair to deprive the Town and Royalty ofa privilege which they ltad uniiitcrrtiptedly enjoyed for sixty years, without some coitipciisatiori for tho irrfrrictron. ' ‘hey both ntlniittcil that it might be true, as sortie hon. members alleged, that members generally possessed a wt-ight and ingiieuce in the Legislature, in some measure proportionate to the number of the electors and the extent and rriagnitudo ofthe interests which they represented; but, added Mr. Clark, even althotrgli he was persuaded that, on private considerations alone, it was more desirable to represent a large than a small constituency, it would he an Act of political suicide, in his run. colleagzue and lrituself, should they corist-iit to the proposed ttnion ol'iri- tercsts, by wlrich, should it take place, the electors of Lot I8 would have it in their power to return the rcprcscritativcs, iri- dcperrdcntly oftlicir brother electors of l’riricc'l'«iii'n and Roy- ty : hoivcvcr iftlic House were determine-d to carry tint the might, therefore, tliluk themselves ranch favored if tlistsd- vantage over their fellow electors of Lot I8 should be left to hem. It was not then the proper time to decide the question of equalizing the land assessment; but. should the proposed union be carried, and a Bill be afterwards brought in for the ualixstiun of the tax, and reason could be shown why the Tllouse should entertain it, he would not object to it. Ms. MOONEY was ofopinion that there was more time and money spent in discussing the question than the whole taxes of Princctovvn and Royalty would amount to. e suit. by the Treasurer's accounts that the sum total was only £93, and in the House, there were two-members, to represent ti town in which nobody lived. Why, Sir, the hon. member, Mr. Montgomery, was returned at the last general election by twenty-five or lWenl_','-all votes; and, that hurt. gentleman's voice was as powerful on the floor of that House, as that of the Representative of one thousand electors. There ought to be one or two townships attached to the Town and Royall of Princetown. In whatever way the tax might be regula . it was s more farce to have two members returned by a few dozens of men, as had been the ease for sixty years past. ' e discussion which was a very long one, was eventually closed by the Hon. Mr. Cot.r.s‘s moving that Lot 18 be added to Pi.ricc Town Royall '. The question having been put thereon. there being only live in favor of it, it was declared that “ the Nays” had it; so the motion was ost. The House was resumed, and progress reported. so Tlrrrrrday, 12th February, 1852. Jlfoniirig Sitting. Hort. Mir. Cotes presented a Petition from inhabitants of Cove Head, stating that a sum of money had been set apart last Session to be expended on a Bridge at that Settlement. which vote was found inadequate totho work so IIllI(‘lI wanted, which was certified by the Commissioners. It was deemed prudent to finish the work properly. and trust to the House to make tip the over expenditure. The Petition was referred to the Committee on such rrrstters. Bill for the brlter prercntiort of accidents by Fr‘re.—On motion of the Hon. Mr. Coles, this Bill was read it second time, and thereupon submitted to a Committee of the whole ouso. Ms. Wicirririri in the Chair. IIo.v. Mir. Coi.r:s explained the principles of the Bill, and the alterations contemplated; which were, to extend the pro- visions to the suburbs of Charlottetown; and that Fire War- dcns be appointed, and Magistrates be empowered to direct the formation of lines of persons for the conveyance of water to the engines when it fire is raging; but not to possess the power to order the pulling down of any building or buildings. All brick buildings to be liable to pay only one-lralfofttre assessment imposed on other buildinr_-s. The Fire Wardens to be cin- powered to inspect the Province and other prrblic buildinttl. and to act as in the case of private pro erty. These, said the ion. mcmbcr, are the principal alterations contemplated in the qltl Act. (hr motion, the chairman reported progress, andasltcd leave to sit again. For; At..irrr.'3i Bi-:t.t..—.\Ir. Fraser, Chairman of the Com- mittee appointed to report on Private Bills, submitted the fol- lowing Report which was agreed to. " Your Committee appointed to report on Private Bills, having had referred to them the Bill to enable Thomas Rub- snn to obtain Letters Patent for his invention of a Fog Bell Alarum. or means of giving notice to vessels ripproaching dari- gers. in foggy weatlior, have to report tlist the said llillcomcs wilrirr the meaning of Private Bills: but as the introduction and rise of stir-.|i invention into this Colony, would be of public a principle of frarrcliise cqiializritioti by SIlt‘lI a union, it surely believed him and his lion. colleague to stipulate, if possible, for an equalization oftaxation also; for it" within the limits of Prince Town and Royalty, no greater privilege was to be cri- l joycd than beyond them, there surely could be no good rcusnn ‘ wiry, within them, the iulizibitarits should pay a tax of I65. er I00 acres, whilst just beyond them the tax was only 2s. 0d. per 100 acres. I might have been originally wrong, continued the lioti. member (Mr. Clark) to bestow the privilege of electing two members of Assembly upon the very few irr- habitants of Prince Town and Royalty, but should the Legis- lature and the Government succeed in establisliing reciprocal free trade with the United States, for which they were all so eager, and from which the greatest benefits to the Colony were expected, the population of Prince Town and Royalty might soon be doubled, it Town be built, and a real importance be given to it, in consequence ot'the extent of its trade and commerce. Mr. lllovrcoiiirrrv particularly urged that Prince Town had been denied public buildings, such as, ifcrected therein, would have brought such advantages to the place, as might have greatly tended to the increase of its population; and yet, rrotliwitlistanding that its progress was, in that way, retarded, its inlrabitarrts, whilst enjoying no greater advantages than those of the corintry generally, except as to their representation in the Assembly, were as heavily taxed as those of George- town; and that, if new the iiiliabitants were to be deprived, in a great measure, as was proposed, ofihat advarrtage, it would be an act ofgreat and ruaiiifcst injustice, should they, any longer, be subjected to the rate of town and royalty land tax- ation. If they were to be tinitcd to Lot 18, let them and those of Lot I8 be ut rrpon the sziine footing. both with respect to public privileges aiiil public burtlicns. ' ‘ Mt-zsstrs. Cot.i:s, Porn, \Virtr:t.ii.v. and \Viirtriurt- Tux severally argued that nothing could be more fair and just, than the principle iii which the prirposetl union had its origin, namely that population was the proper basis of l'Cpl’(‘St“IlIalltlI'I in the Legislature. They mointainr-d that the Electors of Prince Town and Royalty could lose nothing by the annexation, but that rather both they and their representatives would be gainers thereby, in conscqiicnce of the increased importance ofthe constituency of which they would form a part. Vl’ith respect to the desire of the hon. members for Prince Town and Royalty to stipulate for a reduction of taxation, on the part oftheircoustituents, in the event ofthe proposed annex- ation's being carried into effect, they insisted that the question ought not then to be introduced; and that the question ofan- nexation ought to be first determined. And they argued thin, as the higher rate of land taxation had not been imposed upon the Town and Pasture Lots of Prince Town and Royalty, in consequence of the elective franchise bestowed upon the owners of them; it did not follow, as a matter of right, that iftlro latter should be interfered with, any dimitiutiou ofthe former should take lace. Mcssrrs. ousrr, THORNTON, IIivri.A.~m, I’rti.irr.rt, and Yco, and the Hort. the Sritriirt-:rr severally sustained the views taken ofthe question by the hon. members for Prince To\vn,forcibIy maintaining that, should the tranchiso and the interests of the electors ofthat Town and Royalty be merged in those of Lot I8, the former had a clear and positive right to be put upon the some footing, with rcs ct to land assessinent, as that on which the I'orrrrer stcorl. Palmer added thatifthe proposed annexation took place, and either ofthe members for Prince Town should bring in a Bill for the equalization ofthe land assessment, it should have his support. Hon. Mr. Port: forcibly set forth the absurdity and injustice of continuing to a few ngriculturists-—wlio occupied what had been laid down for the site ofs town, but which had not been and never would be builtthcreon,—tlic elective privileges of: borough. From geographical position and other causes, it was evident that through the operations oftrade and corn- mcrcc, a town could never be called into existence where Prince Town was originally intended to stand. To continue to the place the right of sending two members to that Ilouse, would be to perpetuate something worse than the old rotten borough system of England, its exemplified in old Sarum and a few similar disfrauclrised seats of by-gone corruption. The benefit. your Committee recommend that no Fees be charged to Mr. Robson on passing the Bill through the House. Mr. 'I‘liorntorr presented a Petition from Little Sands, Lot 6-l. in favour of free Education; which was received and read, and reft-.ired to the Committee on Edircation. lr.

In the autumn of I844, as far its my memory serves me, that field having been mown for three or four years, was dressed on the sod with severity barrels of roach liiire per acre.
