(I remise first)—A!l writers of note, who have treated much on the education of youth, agree

that the reading of tragedy or any records of dark crime, has a

most pernicious effect upon the minds of children; and expe-

rience confirms the truth of their siatements. Their correctness |

wil, | think, be conceded by all. (Premise secoud)— Does not the Old Testament contain records of bloody tragedies —wars of extermination—the destruction of whole families, men, women and children, together with their goods and chattels, for the crime of oue man—premeditaied murders, rape, adultery,

fraud, &c. Lvery person can satisty himself as to the correct- |

ness of this premise, by merely turning over the pages of the volume in question. Now, if these two premises be granted,

if the reading of tragecy and dark records of crime should be!

excluded in the education of children, and if the Old 'Testa- ment contains such reading, the irresisuble deduction is, that it is unfit for a school-book. Besides, there are some portions of the Old Testament which 1 might safely challenge any per- gon, possessed vf common decency, to read before a mixed school of both sexes. Clearly, then, it never was intended by ite Divine Authoe for the purpose in question. { would jike to be informed of what practical! value it would be to children to be made ever so we!! acquainted with the workmanship of the ark which Moses built—to know the number of pins and rings in it—the textures of the various cloths, end the exact compo- sition of the perfumes used.

Speech :—

r ~ ©

Mr. President and Honourable Gentlemen of the Legislative |

Council : Mr. Speaker and Gentiemen of the House of Assembly : I have much pleasure in again méeting you for the dis- charge of the important duties that devolve upon us. It affords me much satisfaction to be enabled to inform you of the favourable determination of Her Majesty's Go-

vernment with reference to the suggestion contained in your |

joint Address of Jast Session to the Queen, on the subject of w guarantee by Her Majesty's Goverument for such a Loan as might be sufficient for the purchase of Township Lands in thie Island, with a view to the more speedy and general con- version of Leaseholds into Freehold tenures.

The Despatches from the Principal Secretary of State for the Culonies on this subject, shall be communicated to you, and a measure will be submitted for your consideration, in order to secure to the industrious inhabitants of this Island the benefits which have been thus placed within your reach by the paternal solicitude of Her Majesty’s Government. Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly :

The condition of the Revenue is satisfact ry, and indicates

meral prosperity among the consuming population of the

sland.

The Accounts for the past year, and the Esiimates for the current year, shall be laid before you; and I rely on your readiness to grant such Supplies as may be necessary for the efficient support of the public service. Mr. President and Honorable Gentlemen of the Legislative

Council : Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly :

The establishment of Municipalities throughout the Island appears to be highly desirable, in order that the principles of local self-government should receive a more extended appli- cation, by affording to the people the exercise of a greater degree of power over their own local affairs.

A measure upon this subject will be submitted to you; and I solicit your earnest attention to the establishment of such a form of local Government as may ensure satisfaction to the people; whilst it preserves invivlate the prerogative

To rae Epivor or THE ExaMrer. N Thursday week last four persons, resident in my own neighbourhood, were fined for selling Spirituous Liquors without license, and it is currently reported and believed that i instigated one of the Grand Jury to lay information against them. I never was a common iniormer, but hold such a per- son in. utter contempt, and I should have passed over the ramor with that silence it deserves, but the report is likely to injare }me in the minds of my own neighbours and my other customers, and, from a threat held out by one of the parties, to be attended with personal violence: I now solemnly deny that either my- self or my son ever gave such information. I will, therefore, thank you to give one insertion in your paper of the enclosed documents, which, I think, are sufficiently clear to exonerate both of us from having had any participation in the proceed- ‘ings. The originals you can return me affer the insertion: - NICHOLAS BROWN. Sun Inn, Tryon Road, (late Widgery’s), Feb. 23, 1857.

| I hereby declare that Mr. Nicholas Brown never gave me any information, either directly or indirectly, whether John McArthur, Owen McQuillan, Jeremiah Mahoney, James Oon- | way, or Martin Bagley, ever sold spirituous liquors without license.
