It was intended by this bill to establish some additional Courts. and he thoueht there should have been provisions made to establish one at the head of Entry Harbor and one or two other'plecet. but he hoped no meodmeot would be latroduottd at this late hour of the session. not its: bow-st said out though it might in a little inconvenience to'tbe MT‘flb was an ad- Hoim.‘fltitbmrth0ught this bill was an im- proveeieot npoothe former Smell Debt Act, inas-l f“ vantage to'thopoople.

I think the sum granted is sufficient. It is equal to £25 a trip for the retttaiti~ der ofthe season. .

The money may have been well appropriated last year. and it is thought proper to appropriate it in the same way this year. but I do not think this method will be pursued very long. lion. Mr. hie-DONALD: As for as Georgetown is con- cerned. I may say that the amount appropriated was taken charge of by the two taembrrs for the town-half by each—and the part which came into the hands of the non-rceitlnnt member was placed at the disposal of the magistrates. They had suvcrsl modtings. and the money was expended under their direction. I can endorse the Olatrmenl of my hon. utillraguu, respecting the vouch» ore. for l believe both he and l were present when they were produced and audited by the magistrates. Hon. Mr. Patna-at: With reference to the expendi- ture in and about Charlottetown, I can only say that. although I was one of the representatives of the city. yet 1 never heard a single word about the matter. and therefor" l cannot give any account of the manner in which the money was expended. lion. )lr. “'AI.KIR: It is the members of the House of Assembly who are intended. -llon. the PRESIDENT: If the money has been better expended than formerly, I think it is well to appropriate it this year in the same way, for improvements are greatly required in our system of road making. llon. Mr. Wetsuit: There is a Road Commissioner appointed for Charlottetown and Royalty. and only three or four days ago a member for the City directed him to make a drain in the centre of" a road. If the Commissioner is not competent to make roads. let hiin be dis laced. and let the whole ittnuunt appropriated be placed' I I independent principle would not act as a Road Commis- sinner. if" he were subject to the direction and control of the members for the town or district. If I were a Commissioner. 1 would resign the appointment, rather than be (lit-tstctl to and controlled by a member who. perhaps. did not know as much about road making as myself. . Ilun. hlr. Lorin: I agree with his honor who has just spoken. I believe one member of the House of Assem- bly is going on thr- railroad principle. He had a drain cut in the centre of the road. and travellers were to keep on the right hand side; but I think the Commissioner has had his own way so far. for when the member from the City went out to are the road the next morning after he heal the drain out. he found it filled up. and I believe he has withdrawn his authority. Matters are now going oti favorably. If I were a representative of eltlu-r“of those towns. I would not like to interfere with those small matters. 11' we Will have men appointed who are not trustworthy, and I presume it amounts to that. then it would be better to leave it in the bands of the magis- trates. Perhaps the members of Iliqu towns have a great deal of private business to attend to. and it ran. out be expected that they would spend their time in superintending the roads without remuneration. llis honor lrom Georgetown (Mr. McDonald) and a mem. ber of the House of Assemth for that town. have spent a great dcal of time in that way. and I believe the way the roads have been made has gIven great satisfaction. but it has given these gentlemen a great deal of trouble and they have not reccivrd anything for their time. The Government should appoint proper men as Com- missioners. in whom the public would have confidence. and then there Would be no uecrssity for others. who are not connected with the business. lasing their time. Besides. It is seldom we find two rsuns agree about road making. We discuss the subject here. and scarce. 1; two of us agree as to the best method to be pursued It may he jun so with the members and the Commis- sioners and we cannot expect them to work harmo- niously together. lion. the l‘mtsioicsrr: I think it is the members 01 the House of Assembly who are intendotl. and if they choose to take the trouble. I do not see that we need complain or tnalto any objection. IIoa.

Mr. Penna: ldo not think it is a very great improvement upon the systcui of rapt-riding the road money. as rcgerds the Town and Royalty—thet of placing the Commisei mcr under the supermtondqnce of the members representing the city. l very much agree with his honor who has just spoken in that respect. for if it is necessary to appoints t-oitimissioncr or overseer of roads. none should be appointed but one in whom confidence should be reputed. and one sufficiently well acquainted with the business to patterns the duty pro.

McLenuan and Green also save- rally addressed the ( ommitteu in opposition to the Bill; contending that the further purchase of Pro~ prietory lands should he efl‘ticted under the provi- sions ofthe Land Purchase Bill as formerly ; that the obtaining of a foreign Loan would involve the country deeply in debt. and though it might afford temporary relief to trade. the ultimate results would prove disastrous to the best interests of the Colony : that a loan. if procured. should be specially reached for. and appropriated to the purchase of lands only. and not used to relieve monetary difhculties arte- ing from commercial panics; that it was impolitic and unsound in principle to borrow from a foreign market. when the necessary lundu could be procured at home; that though large quantities of land were purchased by the late Government, the money was procured from the country without cashing Warrants at Discount. The same principle, ifjudiciously ap- plied. would eventually succeed in effecting the pur- chase of any remaining estates that might from time to time be offered to the Government. That the cause of the present depressiouof trade and scarcity of the circulating medium was not attributable to the purchase of the Cunard Estate, but to the fact that a larger quantity of goods were imported last year than was warranted by the circumstances of the Co- 'lony. and also to the fact that ships were sent to market, which were still lying in the English docks unsold. Hence the want of exchange to meet the bills of the merchants. Hon Leader of the Government defended the prin- ciple of the loan bill before the Committee. and said that he had hoped both sides of the House would have concurred in the necessary means whereby not only to effect the further purchase of lands. but also to relieve the embarrassed slate of the Colony com mercielly. The principle ofthe bill though formerly opposed and petitioned against by the Conservative party generally. was now almost universally admit- tt-d to be not only sound. but also loudly called for. In proof of which he referred to the petition ofmeny of the merchants andvothers of Charlottetown. now on the table of the House, reletive to the embarrallod state of the country. It was evident that the pay- mentof‘ the instalment duo on the Cunard .Eetato was the cause of the banks refusing discount. The payment of which would absorb the greatest portion of the Gold and Silver in their vaults. Under thp provisions of the loan bill the Cunard Estate would have been purchased and paid for, without expe- ricuciug any such serious depression in the ordinary trade of the country. as resulted from the said pur- t-huse. in the absence of such smeasure. The loan would doubtless prove a boon. and he hoped that no such misrepresutations as were made against a similar measure on a former occasion would again be resorted to, for the purpose of defeating it. He hoped on the contrary that both sides of the of party bias. as the effect of such general suppose from allperties, would tend to secure its success. Hons. Device, Ho'wlan. Laird. and Messrs. Jott- ltins. Reilly. Bell. and McNeill, supported the Bill on the grounds that it was desirable to provide means for the final purchase of proprietary claims, where the tenants mold be relieved without the iti- fliction of any material injury to trade and other branches of industry. That the obtaining of a loan would not only effect that desirable object, but also give an impetus to the commercial transaetione of the Colony. That the borrowing ofmone in En land in accordance with the terms of tho ill,wou d prevent the sudden withdrawal of the gold and silver of the country. and thereby enable the banks to hoop up their circulation for the accomodstion of the or- dinary requirements of trade and commerce. That in proportion to the amotiut of exchange required to be drawn from the country. would be regulated by the facilities given by the banks. That tlte mode adopted for the purchase of the Cunard Estate, has ;llld a depressing effect on the whole trade of the country. and that i: a similar or even a smaller pup .chese than that were again attempted. without some leach provisions as the hill contemplated. it would cripple all the banks-in the lslend. and entirely with- .draw the circulating medium of the Colony from its fordtnnry and legitieate avenues. The banks having Jto provide exchange for heavy remittances required .for the payment of the Cunard Estate. were crippled in their operations. and consequently curtailed. if not altogether refuted discount on the vrry best leecurity in the place.
