Mr. Mosrcoitritv presented it memorial from thelloyal Agricultural Society, praying a’ lgrant of £1000, or such sum as may appear neoosseryto enable them to im rt .'ix Stud ‘Horses; and the some having won received and read, the House, on motion by the Ilon. Mr. Montgomery, was resolved into n Commit- tee of the whole, on the said Memorial; llon. Mr. Macaulay in the Chair. Mr. \ViGirritAN observed, that, when a similar appropriation was made last year, the money was freely granted. He did not know, however, whether the benefit to the country, and tho satis- faction arising from it. generally s uking, had been as grout as it was calculate they would be. Throc of the horses were unfortunately lost; but, independently of that casualty, it was yet to be seen wlictlicr the progeny arising from those which arrived safely would be an- swerable to the requirements of the country. The one sent to Georgetown was not. in his 0 i- nion, such a horse as the country required. Ila wasafino stron horse, it was true; but too, beav , he thoug t. One of osmaller and lighter 1 bree would. ho thought. have been more suit-i able for Prince Edward Island. If the House, agreed to supply the Royal Agricultural Society with means to make further importations, as rsycd for b their Memorial, it would, he was ‘ of opinion, better that the horses should be selected from some other quarters than those! from which the last were taken. l n. Moxrcoiisnv did not think any‘ grant made by the Assembly evcr gave morej satisfaction to the country than the 141000 tip- 5 propriated last year for the im rtation of superior seed horses; and tho resu ts, it could , not reasonably be doubted, would be highly beneficial to the country. The demand for: horses for exportation had been very great of ;' late : indeed so great, that the supply had been 4 found quite inadequate to tho cmand. The! loss to which the hon. member (Mr. Wightman) i had alluded, should be an inducement to the: House to make a further appropriation ; rather than it discouragement to the making of it.; r. Docs: was of opinion that they coltldl do notbin better for their constituents. When lately in l\ew Brunswick, be had really been quite astonished to find how many horses were imported into that Province from Prince Ed- ward Island. He then met with a gentleman who told him several hundreds of our Island horses had passed through his hands. He was satisfied that there was no place in these Colo- nies which could coin re with this Island as it nurser for horses. t was the bounden dut of the ouse to assist the farmer in every possi- ble we ; and nothing could serve him more than t is enabling him to raise good horses. To see so many men, from the neighbouring Provinces, as were here last full, with money in thoir hands to purchase borscs—giving its much as £30 or £40 each for good ones—was truly gratif ing. The last House had acted with cat iborality with respect to the im- portation of stud horses: and, be trusted, tho present House would do the same. He h visited many places, but he had no whore found animals superior to those of this Islnnd—none more hard at any rate. e mone which the Home is asked to vote is not theirs: it is the farmers‘, and the House owe it to them. Mr Bnn.—'l.‘hnn it. vote of money for the im-' rovetncnt of the breed of horses in the Island, he thought nothing could be more popular, or likely to do more good. Ila was of opinion, however that, in again authorising and supply- ing the means for the purchase of stud borscs, it would be advisable to recommend that they should beprocured “ some other quarter than that whence the last were obtained. He did not agree with the hon. meuibor, Mr. Yeo, as to the suitableness of the Clydesdale breed for this Island. The Liverpool (lray-horses were 9 O- pgpferablo, be thought, as respected symmetry, ' uty, strength, and action. t would, in his opinion, be advisable to purchase where those horses were bred. Mr. Mooxtzv was, as form_er|y, opposed to such an appropriation of public money. It was, ' in his opinion, s takin from the many for the l benefit of the few. licn, last year, applica- H tion was made by the Royal Agricultural So- ciety for a grant of £1000, he opposed it. then said that the House had no rt ht_ to take money from the people's purse, on give it to tho Agricultural Society to purchase ihorsc with power to do what they _ploased l with tbem.—ln 1848, the Social: was incorpo- rated; than a sum was grontc to_ them, by the House, equal to what was subscribed ;next, it was twice as much as was subscribed; and, l last year, it was a Thousand Pounds, which the [louse placed at their disposal. We know well how the moiety works : we know when a man has it friend at the bellows, the blast will sometimes bc made to favor him : and we ought not_to be lstirpriscd, therefore, if, in such is case, it be found that n grandce's more is attended to before a. poor man's, A Thousand Pounds is again demanded, said the hon. member; but before we not it, it behaves as well to con- sider how e horses we have are to be kept v- us 0 and provided for. Iluy and oats arc dear ; and many individuals who, tempted by the high prices, are now selling, will nave to buy again. The public chest may be full; but we ought not, therefore, to be imp:-midcnt. It is our duty to be careful how ttntl what we give. The Tliousand Pounds asked for h_\ tilt: Royal Agri- cultural Socicty may be “'tllltt"l. to enable poor farmers to provide seed grain for this year's‘ crop. I know my voice will nut prevent the grant prayed for: but I will iw-orrl my vote against it: for it is tlii-lionesty to take from the many l'or tho bcncfit of the fair. They who contribute to the funds of the .-\;;riculturaI So- ciety, derive man benefits froln it; but them are man hundre s who dc-riw no benefit from it ; and it is unjust to take their money to give it to that Society. In ttttn-‘ltlfiloll, the lion. member said, I warn ymi gwi tlcmen, not to lnvi.-:h tho peoplo’s money by imilding cnstlcs in the air. We have m:m_v ditlicultics before us. Tliei-c nro entlemun in the House have lately travelled ll. gum] deal in their election- cring tours, and I call their attention to the fact that there are very few stack-yards in the country and the barracks are almost empty. Let us hoard up for a reverse of tlioso days when our iron chest is full to over-(lowing. A demand may soon have to be made upon us, as in the! your 1848, when we linrkcned to the poo lc's voicc. By the judicious inanagcuient o the into Government we are now in a prosperous condition. Let us, therefor:-, act u on an economical scale. and we shall be prepared for any! public calamity which may occur. on. Mr. Mox'rcoiti:itv.—-Tlio mono granted b the Assembly is not given to the gricultii- ral Society, but to the farmers. The horses bought are not the property of the Society,'but, —subject to certain rules and rcgulations,—are sent to difibrent parts of the r-ouutry, for tho benefit of the whole agricultural population of the llsland: and, in tho mllYlt'lf'_t.‘lllel'lt of them, the strictest impartiality is practised. on. 4- r . tn-tn.--'l‘bc tnniiov voted by the House to the Royal Agricultural Society, is not, as has just been observed by the lion. member Mr. Montgomery, voted to them, as it body of individuals, for their own benefit; but for the bcncfit of the farmers of Prince Edward Island. The objections of Mr. Mooney are based on very erroneous views. Grants for the purchase of stud horses are amongst the wisest that the Assembly can possibly make; for, in a few years, the horses will rovo a source of wealth to the country; and, i we wisely keep up the improvement made by them, we shall become renowned, throughout these Provinces, for tho superiorit of our horses. ’l‘hc soil and climate of this Is itnd itro peculiarly favorable to the breeding of horses : and I know not any grant 3! 5 . the whole I.-Ian-l, which would result from such which could serve our farmers more, than that which is pro. cd for b the Agricultural Society. It will benefit the Is and at large by bringing in large sums of money,as we have already experienced; for we know that almost every liorso which was lit to be exported last year was bought for that purpose at the highest rice. 1 am not the representative of an agricu ttiral constituency, but I freely contribute in mitc for the furtherance of the objects of the Royal Agricultural Society, because I know their at- tainment will benefit the entire population of the Island. .\s to the description of horses to be imported, I think it ought to be left to the Agricultural Society. Thcy consult individuals and also the best authorities: on their cision may, therefore, I think, be safely relied ll n as the best for tho general interests of ngriculturists. lfl were to give my opinion, it might be considered presumption ; but I will just venture to say that I do not think the stud horses to be imported should all bo of one Q- G I D" -s O c . L‘II'. Mooxxv.—llo had no wish to bring charges against the Agricultural Society; but he could not help remarking upon the rather odd way in which grants were first made to them and then applied by themselves. For instance, said the hon. member, in a few days hence, after the House shall have n reed to grant the Society another Tliousand ’ounds, they will be called upon to agree to it Resolu- tion to give them 2s. for every ls. which shall be subscribed by individuals: and than thcy (tho Society) will enact the three of granting, as of their own libcrnlitx, £100 to Mr, Stark, the School Visitor, in addition to his Salary of to deliver lectures on Agricultural Clicinistry, whilst the money will, in reality, have, in the first ilacc, been taken, for that purpose, by tho louse, out of the peoplc’s It-. to ‘:1 : -i I :2: Mr. Dorss.—From Mr. Mooncy’s remarks it; might be thought that ho imagined the Agi-i-l‘ cultural Societ were actuated solely by it dc-g aim to serve themselves. But the foot was,‘ that to the Committee of the Society the great- : est praise was due. They acted in the mostl honorable and im ortial manner. It was notl their own indivi ual interests which they! studied to remote, but those of the country at } largo ; an , to that ond, they zealously devoted I much of their time and attention, without one fnrthin in the shape cfrowurd. Mr. _ sviss.—'l‘lie hon. member, Mr. Douso,l has taken upon him to censure Mr. Mooney without replying to what was said by him. Mr. Mooney said he considered that such an appro- TNL Ahllhhfllbhh.

Mr. llloxrcoiiiiiiv was of opinion that two additional horses, for each Countv, were required. In fact, he was convinced that one additional horse for each County would not be sutIicient.—-llc denied that the late Government had it right to claim any credit for tho grant of last year. The grant was not then a Government measure, any more than it was at qesent; but it was worthy of remark that, w iilst the who, last 'ear, constituted the 0 position, till voted fdr the grant tho on opposition mado_ to it proceeded’ from thh’ £1-It:,t(r)2:‘rcnincnt mayority, on the part of Mr, Hon.
