     A company has been formed to work the Iron mines 
     
     of Nova-Scotia, to be called the Acadian Iron Company, 
     
     with a capital of £200,000. in £5 shares. The mines 
     
     have been worked for some time by an association, and 
     
     the quaility of their iron and steel, in consequence of its 
     
     being manufactured with charcoal, is favourably known.

     touching the defensive work being constructed at Ports- 
     
     mouth, England, has elicited some remark, and is looked 
     
     upon as an esliibition of French jealousy.

     coming Austrian amnesty have transpired. It will, with

     choose can resume the citizenship at once, and be put 
     
     in possession of their property; those who choose to re- 
     
     turn immediately, may return ; those who do neither, will 
     
     be considered dead, and their property will be handed 
     
     over to their legal heirs.

     HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY. 
     
     Fainar, February 29. 
     
    
   
   
    
     On the reading of the resolution that .6300 be granted and 
     
     placed at tho dismsal ofthe (iuVcfllfllEfll,f0l' repairs and paint- 
     
     inp ofthe Colonial Blllltllllfl. 
     
    

    
     llon. ('ot.. SECltE'l‘Aft\' inaile some remarks in reference to 
     
     that upendiiiirc, and stated that he thought it was time to 
     
     take into consideration the railing in of the Colonial Building. 
     
     and the planting of some trees around it for ornamental pur- 
     
     s. a considered that the railing ought to extend as ‘far 
     
     as the railing of the Market house in that direction,thiit build- 
     
     ing to be removed, and to a similar distance in the opposite di- 
     
     rection; be. however, did not propose any measure, rather 
     
     preferring delay this year, until it was seen what the Corpo- 
     
     ration of Charlottetown would do in relation to the building of 
     
     a Market House. 
     
    

    
     Hon. Mr. Wieirriiiiit fully concurred with the remarks of 
     
     ilie Hon Colonial Secretary, respecting the propriety of rail- 
     
     ing in the Colonial Building. and observed that strangers com- 
     
     ing from other countries took notice of the exposed condition 
     
     of that building; but he was not aware that the Revenue of the 
     
     Colony was sufliciently large to warrant such an undertaking 
     
     the present year. 
     
    

    
     A few additional observations were also offered on the sub- 
     
    

    
     "act. 
     
     J Sumo conversational discussion arose respecting the proper 
     
     parties on whose recommendation sums should be grant- 
     
     ed to the Indians, out oftlis £40 appropriated for their relief. 
     
     It was agreed to grant such same, on the recommendation of 
     
     the Clergy. 
     
    

    
     On account of improper expenditure at Light Houses, thew 
     
     Light atferded not being sufficient, some opposition was made 
     
     to the appropriation of £600 to defray the expences of their 
     
     maintenance. After some remarks and explanations had been 
     
     offered. and some statements made respecting the steps which 
     
     have been taken for obtaining superior Lamps for the Light 
     
     Houses, the resolution was agreed . 
     
    

    
     When a number of other resolutions had been agreed to. 
     
     the Speaker resumed the Chair, and the Chairman reported 
     
     that the Committee had agreed to several resolutions, which 
     
     he was directed to submit to the [lease whenever it shall be 
     
     pleased to receive them; he also asked leave to sit again, 
     
     which was agreed to. It was also agreed to receive the re- 
     
     port of the Committee to-morrow. 
     
    

    
     The lion. Con. Sactiirnttv presented to the House the 
     
     Road Correspondent's account on the expenditure of roads, 
     
     bridges and wharfs, in the ast year; also the report of the 
     
     Road Commissioner for t o Twclftli District of Queen's 
     
     County. embracing his expenditure in the road service during 
     
     the past ycar,—whicli were laid on the table.

     The following petitions More 
     
    
   
   
    
     services as School Visitor. for these rsaitons he moved that 
     
     his salary be reduced from £300 to £200. 
     
    

    
     Hon. Cot.. Taimsusss remarked, that vi-lion Mr. Stark 
     
     was engaged by Government as it School Visitor, .6 300 was 
     
     the stipulated salary, and in addition to visiting the schools 
     
     of the Island, he was required to lecture on Agricultural 
     
     Chemistry; but now, on account of the increase of the 
     
     schools, it was im ssiblo for that gentleman to deliver 
     
     those lectures. and ikewise visit the schools twice a. year, is 
     
     duty which no individual, however active. co (1 possibly 
     
    

    
     rform. Since Mr. Stark had been induced to come to the 
     
    

    
     land, in the expectation of receivin in salary of £300 I 
     
     year, it would be quite unfair to wit hold apart of that 
     
     suiu, and he (Hon. Col. Treasurer) would objectto the pro- 
     
     posed rcduction. He also alluded to the prices of provisions 
     
     as being now much higher than they were lately. and for 
     
     that reason regarded it impossible for any person to travel 
     
     throughout the country and maintain himself on asmall 
     
     salary. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Mr. MCDONALD had certainly considered that by dispens- 
     
     ing with the lectures on Agricultural Chemistry, the 1 ouse 
     
     would have elected a saving of £100 is year for the Colony. 
     
     If that sum had been expanded in the purchase and distri- 
     
     bution of books on Agricultural Chemistry, he thought it 
     
     would have effected much more benefit than had been ac- 
     
     complished by the lectures which had been delivered on that 
     
     subject. He regarded £200 as a sullicieut salary for Mr. 
     
     Stark. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Mr. Mclzr-rosir believed that when it was thou ht neces- 
     
     sary to en ge the services of a School Visitor, 200 was 
     
     considered a sullicient salary for the person filling that situ- 
     
     ation, but that if the services of it gentleman could be 
     
     obtained, who was qualified to lecture on Agricultural 
     
     Chemistry, the Royal Agricultural Society would grant him 
     
     £100, in consideration of his services as it lecturer on that 
     
     subject. After the arrival of Mr. Stark in the Island, the 
     
     schools had increased so much that it would be impossible 
     
     for him to perform all the duties expected of him, and last 
     
     year the House considered it prudent. to release him of a part 
     
     of his duties a.sVisitor of Schools, still requiring him to 
     
     contiiitic the lectures. But since he had neither visited the 
     
     schools twice a year, nor delivered the lectures as was pro- 
     
     posed, be (Mr. Mclntosh) was now disposed to lotver his 
     
     salary .L‘l00. lle also thought that if £100 were appropri- 
     
     ated in obtaining books on Agricultural Chemistry it would 
     
     be beneficial to the cotintry. 
     
    
   
   
    
     llon. Mr. Wicii'rii.i.\' did not doubt but that Mr. Stark 
     
     would liiivc continued his lectures on Agriculturzil Chemis- 
     
     try had not the additioiitil labour in visitiiig schools been 
     
     required. But when tllt‘l‘t‘ were 208 schools in operation, 
     
     more tl-an double the iiiiiiilier that was at tliu time when he 
     
     tiri'ivv-d in the Colony, what time had that gentleman either 
     
     to prcpiirc itgrieiilttiriil lectures or to deliver them! Allow-

     ntiiu_her_of‘ schools had very much increased, and the duty
