BIBLE QUESTION. PETITIONS RELATING TO EDUCATION.

The order of the day for taking intoconsiderauion the several petitions praying that the Bible may be reid in the Normal School and the Central Academy, having been read, the said petitions were severally read by the Clerk.

Mr. |.AIRD thea rose and said: As I presented some of the petitions which have just been read; | wish to say a few words jn support of the Prayer, which is common to them all, ** that parents who may desire it may have the privilege of heving their children morally trained, from the Holy Scriptures, in both the Norinal School and the Central Academy,’ and particularly with respect to the exclusion of the Bible from the Normal School, although, at the time of the inauguration of that insti- tution, it was declared, by those whose province, upon the cc- casion, tion would be based and conducted, that the first exereiee of each day gyould be a lesson from the Bible. will just ad what was said, with reference to it, by Mr. Siark, Superimtendant of Schoole, juliows ;—* The education to be imparted here will embrace what constitutes all true education : namely, moral, intellectual, and physieal training. ‘he moral department will be carried

on by the opening and closing of the institution with prayer, ac- cording to the regulation of the Board of Education; by a daily Bible lesson (the first exercise of the day after opening) in

which tho truths and facts of Seripture will be brought before

the children’s minds by illustrations and picturing out in words, in language simple and easy to be understood, from which every thing sectarian or controversial will be carefully excluded.’ | willalso read a few sentences from. epeeches made by other

n on the occasion, which will better explain than | can do, by any words of my own, what principles were then Jaid down, as those on which the institution was to be based

conducted, Mr. McNeill said: “* Being entrusted with » share in the direction of the public instruction of this my native country, [think it right 1 should record, in a more tan- yible stape than by mere verbal declaration, my idea of the principles upon which the institution 1s founded, and upon which jt will be carried on, with a view of thus more emphati- caily correcting any erroneus impressions which may be enter- tained by some regarding its nature and its objects.” Mr. Mc- Netll here read: ‘On the threefold basis, as I understand it, wf physical, intellectual and moral training, this institution rests. Without any peculiarity of creed or denominational teaching, its system of instruction is to be—like the Legislature which his established, and the Government which fosters it— non-secturian and national, considered in a purely provincial point of view.” Mr. Monk, the raster of the Normal School, thus expressed bis acquiescence in the principles avowed by Mr. Stark: “My respected friend, Mr. Stark, has so well elucidated the principles and detailed the working of the Nor- mal School, that it is needless for me to attempt anything jucther in explanation, either of the one or of the other.” In fact, the Hon, the Col, Secretary, the Hon. the Queen’s Printer, the Hon. Colonel Swabey, and most of the other geatlemen, who spoke on the occasion, declared—if not by words exactly, yet by a silence which unplied assent—in exact accordance with the principles expounded by Mr. Stark, ‘that not the least important feature of education is to inculcate obedience to the laws,and, by imbuing the youthfal mind with sound

The man who wants to keep the roof upon his barn, will always be prepared with implements and materiale ito repair it, as occasion may require ; he will not wait till the i wind rises, and threatens to unroof it, before he bexvins to look ‘about for nails and shingles to remedy the rents. I am not

willing, funny as | am, to treat the question of the evening with | levity ; but really, Mr. Chairman, a3 J find hon. members are

not at all prepared to enter upon the expected discussion, and as I am positively afraid I shall fal! asleep, if we sit any longer without some business in hand, to keep our wita ale; [am dispoged to move, that the Speaker take the chair, as when he ehall have done so, we may, perhaps, find something to do that will keep us awake.

Hon. Mr. PALMER.—It sometimes happens, in a theatre or a circus, that, whilst due professional arrangements are being made, behind the curtain, previous to the commencement of the performance, by those who are to be the chief actors therein, the audience become impatient for the rising of the curtain ; | and, in order to reconcile them to the necessary delay, and) restore them to good humor, a certain gentleman ts sent out to jamuse them by the drolleries of bis peculiar art. The hon. 'member from Flinty Glen appears to have come forward on the | present occasion, in the character of that amusing gentlemen ; and, I assure him, 1 have not the slighest objection to his occupying, for a few minutes longer, the position which he has {go fitly chosen. [A laugh]

Hon. T. H. HAVILAND, after some little further delay, | rose and said :—QOn a former occasion, | had the honor to move la resolution in this House, of a nature, in some respects similar

| to that which it is now my imtention to submit to this commitiee ; and, although [ was not so successful as to carry ®, still a part jof what was asked by it was subsequently granted ; that is, that, in our District Schools, the Bible should be daily read when a | majority of the parenta of the children, attending tn any of them, iehould require it. I have every regard for the conscientious | scruples of my fellow Catholic subjects on this question; and,

‘on no account, would [deliberately seek to do violence to them, ' But still 1 think that that book which i# dear to the hearts of those who compose the church of which [am an humble member,

should not be excluded from any of those institutions in

| which they have a right to claim that their children shall be

educated. The members of that church and of every other de-

nomination of Protestant Christians, hold it to be ef the h ghest

importance, both as respects the eternal and temporal interests

of their children, that, in school, as well as in their homes, the

reading and study of the sacred volume should be @ primary

object of education ; for they justly hold that, unless a due

knowledge of, and reverence for, its holy precepts and commands

be early instilied into end impressed upon their hearts and minds,

their acquisitions of secular or scientific knowledge, may,

as respecis the true uses and enjoyments of life, be of no service | whatever to them; but perhaps the reverse. Fully satisfied of | the wisdom of such senatiments,and of the propriety of the prayer

of the petitions which are now under our consideration, | shall,

therefore, without further preface, move the resolution now in

my hands, as I think it is perfectly in accordance therewith.

‘Fhe hon. gentleman then read the following resolution, and

moved its adoption by the committee :—

‘Whereas it is inexpedient that any law or rule should ‘exist by which the use of the Holy Scriptures should be ex- cluded from the Central Academy and Normal School of this | Island,in any case where the parents or guardians of any scholars placed in those institutions may require such Holy Seriptures to be uSed or read therein by such scholars : | ** Resolved, therefore, That it is necessary to qivement by law, that the Holy Scriptures may be read and used by any scholar ‘or scholars attending either the Central Academy or Normal | Sehool, in all cases where the parents or uardians of such | scholars may require the same to be so used by them while at- | tending such institutions respectively.”

Hon. COL. TREASURER.—The School Act, by which no religious test is imposed, or any course of religious instruction | prescribed, has now been in operation for some years ; and it | | has, I believe, in its working, given general satisfaction ; 1 can-

of true morality’—concludes by praying that this House shall

‘ adopt such means assball redress their grievances, and grant. them the enjoyment of their rights,’ by enforcing the reading

demy—thereby inferentially leading to the conclusion that the | use of the Scriptures is not prohibited in the common schools: |

«¢ And whereas it has been shown in these premises that | there is nothing to prevent the voluatary use of the Bible in| the Normal School, while its introduction as a class book into | the Central Academy, which would constitute a religious test, | is expressly forbidden by a law which has remained on the | statute book for thirty years; and that successive Houses of | Assembly since never regarded this law as an infringement of the rights of any portion of the inhabitants of the Colony ; | nor has any complaint been made of the enactment in question, | by any considerable number of the Protestant parents of. children who are sent to the Academy for instruction, and | who might be reasonably supposed to be the most deeply | interested inthe matter: The House, therefore, deems that as, there has been no infringement of a right, no substantial | grievance can be said to exist.

‘« Resolved, therefore, That it is inexpedient to comply with the prayer of the several petitions now before the Rieck asking for an Act of the Legislature to compel the use of the Protestant Bible, as a class book, in mixed Schools, like the | Central Academy and Normal School, which were established for, and are supported by, Protestants and Catholics alike— this House feeling assured that so unwise and so unnecessary a measure is not desired by a majority of the inhabitants of the Colony, nor essential to the encouragement of Education and Religion.’’

The hon. member having read the above, concluded by moving the same in amendment to the Resolution, submitted by the Hon. T. H. Haviland.

To the free and independent Electors of the Third District of Prince County. ENTLEMEN ,—Having received several requisitions from | yarious sections of the Third District of Prince County, which will become the Fourth District as soon as the new Election Law shall go into operation—all of which have been numerously and respectably signed, as will appear from the copy hereunto annexed—I cannot hesitate longer to express my hearty and sincere thanks for the high honour that has been conferred upon me in making this early call for my services to present myselfas a Candidate for the representation of their interests in the next General Assembly,

I beg to say, that while [ accede to the wish of my friends, the requisitionists, I do not agree with them in the estimate they have formed of my merits as a public man. Heretofore { have been actuated by a sincere and honest desire to promote the interests and honor of my native country, to the fullest ex- tent of iny humble abilities ; and should I again be entrusted with the confidence of a portion of my fellow countrymen, I will endeavour to pursue the same straightforward and inde- pendent course of action. With regard to the local interests of the district itself, it is unnecessary, | hope, to assure my friends, that a section of the Colony in which so long and so_ happy a period of my life was spent is entitled to, and shall always receive my unwavering and zealous attention.

To the Hon. W. W: Lord.

IR,—Anticipating, as we do, the approach of a General Election, and knowing the necessity of securing a fit and proper person to represent us in the new House of Assembly— one who is fully acquainted with and alive to the interests of the Island, conversant with its present position—political and ees sufficiently independent to support every mea- sure br@fght forward, which is of a genuine liberal character, by which the general prosperity and best interests of this our Island may be advanced ; and, likewise, one who is acquainted | with the Jocal affairs of our district, and whose well being is | interwoven with those of his constituents :

Ships built in the British North American Colonies, and all ships the frames of which are composed of fir, of 600 tons and upwards, and all ships (wherever built), the length of which (measured from the fore part of the stem to the after part of the stern post on the range of upper deck), shall exceed five times their extreme breadth, shall have diagonal iron plates closely inserted either outside or inside the frame. If placed outside, the said plates to extend from the upper side of apper tier of beams to the lower part of chocks at first foothook heads amidship, and to the same perperidicular height forward and aft, measured from the lower part of the keel ; and if placed inside, the plates are to extend from the upper side of upper tier of beams to the lower part of chocks at floor heads. Whether placed outside or inside, the sizes of the plates not to be less than as follows, viz :—

In ships of 100 tons and under 200 tons = =—- 34 by 7-16 inch,

and to be fastened with bolts, one at each alternate timber if outside, and one at each timber if inside, not less in diameter than the sizes given for ‘‘ through butt bolts’’ in Table D.

The number of plates to be in proportion of not less than one pair to every twelve feet of the ship’s entire length taken as above, but not to be mc2 than eight feet asunder measured on a square ; the said plates are to be placed diagonally, at am angle of not less than 45 degrees, their lower ends pointing to the after end of the keel in the after body, and to the fore end of the keel in the fore body, four pairs crossing each other amidship.

All such ships to have shelves and waterways to each tier of beams each equal in contents to the transverse sectional area of the beams of their respective decks at their ends ; each of the said shelves and waterways to be bolted through the outside planking at every timber, with bolts of the size given in Table D ; likewise the shifts of inside and planking not to be less than si@feet, unless. there be a strake wrought between them, and then a distance of five feet will be allowed.

Hemlock timber, of good quality, will be allowed to be used for the are parts in ships of Four Years’ grade, viz:—

oors. First, second, and third foothooks and top-timbers. Beams, hooks, and knees. Planking, inside. and will be entered in the Table A accordingly.

The Committee haye also approved of a drawing, showing the direction of the iron plates on frames prescribed by the Rules Sections 39 and 62, and the iron knees and riders prescribed by the Rules Section 62. Copies of the drawing may be had on application at this office, or to the Surveyors.

Hon. Mr. MONTGOMERY.—IF it is the intention of the House to aceede’ to the prayer of the petitions, it will be best to inove that they shad be referred to the consideration of the

House when in committee onthe Academy Bill ; and | will ac- | bronght up and indoctrinated ; but, as all the pupils and students +

cordingly move that they shall be so referred.

Hou. Mr. MOONEY.—I understood, yesterday, that there was te be a Call of the House to-day to take up the petitions, praying taat the Bible may be read in the Normal School aud the Central Academy ; and alse the petition, presented by the hon. and learned member for Charlottetown, (lion. Mr. Paimer), praying for a grant of money, a3 an endowment, to St. Dun- gtan’s College; and I, therefore, move that the House do now resolve ilgelf into a committee of the whole to del,berate upon the prayers of the said petitions.

Hon. Mr. PALMER.—L agree that the propriety of acceding to, or of rejecting the prayers of these petitions, must be dis- cussed in a committee of the whole House; but it matters not whether when the House shall be in committee on the Academy ill, or now in committee immediately upon these petitions themselves , but as there is to-day a Call of the House with a view to (he express purpose of taking them up, I think jt will be best (o go into consideration of them at once; aad J, there- fore, second the motion of the hon. member for the second dis- trict of Queen's County, (Llon.
