Who, therefore, can doubt for a moment that if the Act had been then sent, or shorily a!ter- wards, but that it wou'd have been at once allowed or as- sented to by the Queen?

Your Government claimed a large share of credit for passing that Act, which facilitated, as they said, the ap- pointmeat of the Commissioners. As soon as the Commis- sioners arrived, a copy of the “ Act to give effect to ther award” was put into their hands by the Government, who told them that was the law by which they were to be guided, but who took care to concea! from them the fact, that it was

Charlottetown, P, E. L April 1, 1861, DEBATE ON THE PETITLONS RESPECTING AR-| REARS OF RENT.

On Tuesday last, the Hon. Mr. Coles brought forward in| the House of Asse.nbly the question, of which he had given | previous notice, as to the necessity of passing a law to prevent harsh proceedings being taken against the tenantry for the | collection of arrears of rent, until the award of the Land | Commission shall be made known. The Commissioners them- | aelves,as our readers very well know, recommended that no such proceedings should be taken; and several petitions have beer presented to the Houso, praying that this recommendation Mr. Coles detailed the history of the Land Question, from the time the original grants were The hard-

landholders, were clear y shown ; and the efforts put forward by the late Liberal Government to improve their condition were fully described. Mr. Coles also commented, at consider- able length, ou tie despatches recently received from the Colonial Minister in reference to the Land Commission, and urged that it was more the duty of the Government than that of the Opposition to carry out the measure which be proposed. ile eoucluded by moving the following resolution :—

«+ Waenxas on the Ist day of October, 1860, at the clo-ing of the Court of Her Majesty’s High Commissioners, appointed for the settlement of all differences existing between Landlord the said Commissioners. unanimously recommended the P.oprretors of land to abstain from harsh p occedings in the collection of rents, and to practise forbearance and moderation towards their Tenantry ; while the litter were enjoined to pay the then accruing year's rent, the Commussione s having, on that occasion, expressed | » very decided opinion that it would be a misfortune to the Colony if the rents and arrears were harshly and hastily eol-| lected by the Proprietors.

‘* And whereas it has come to the knowledge of the House of Assembly that the recommendation thus addressed to the Pr )prietors has been, in many instances, disr>gard:d by them | —»reeeedings at law baving been instituted in many cases for | the re-overy of arrears of ,ent, by which great hardship and | suff-ring have been brought apon the Tenantry, who eee generally disposed to comply with the recommendation of the Commissioners as regards the payment of one year’s rent.

-* And whereas numerous pet:tions have been presented to | the House of Assembly during toe present Session, proying | that some measure may be devised by the Legislature of this | Island, to prevent further proceedings at law for the recovery | of the arrears of rent pending the award of the Land Commis | sioners ; und it is the opinion of this Committee that a hope | has been generally ente: tained that the award of the Commis- | sioners would be shortly made known, and relief thereby af- forded to the Tenantry ; but it is evijent from the tenor of a! Despat h from His Gace the Duke of Newcustie to His Ex- | eelleney the Lieut. Governor, bearing date 2ad January, L861, | poblis ied subsequently to the signing of the aforesaid peti- | tions, that the Act passed last Session for giving effect to the award of the Commissioners will not be submitted for the | Royal assent, it being considered too general in its character, | ine msequence of whieh objection it will be necessary for the | Legisia'ure to pass another Act in its next DBession, should the award be given in the course of the ensuing Summer and thus the settlement of the Land question will be necessarily post- | k med to a late period of the year 1862, when a seeond Act | may receive the Royal allowance, if the award be such as to meet with the approval of the Crown. |

‘It is therefure Resolved, That the House of Assembly be recommended to pass a short Act embracing or carrying out the spirit of the recommendation of the Royal Commissioners tbove referred t», with the view of preventing distraints or exceutions to issue for arr ars of rents, until the Land Com- shall make their award, and the same be ratified |

COLONIAL AFFAIRS.

So muc': of our space is devoted, this week, to the proceed-

ings of the Legislature, that we have not space to comment, | as we would wish, upon seve.al local topics, and on some

leading events in the affairs of our neighbouring Colonies.

All the neighbouring Provinces appear to.be in a very dis-

tracted state. The Legislature of Nova Scotia have been en-

gaged for a long time, aluost exclusively, in the discussion of | party disputes, and the Province is now agitated by clamours | for w new general election.—ln Newfouail.nd, Sir Alexander Bannerman dismissed his Ministry beecauss the Colonial | Secretary charged His Excellency with aiding the minority to defeat certain measures agreed to by the House of Assem- bly. His Excellency very successfully refuted this charge ; bat the new Ministry were novertieless unable to carry any measure through the Assembly, and Sir Alexander was, in consequence, obliged to dissulve that bedy. We shall look, with some interest, te the new returns. Knowing so mueh as we do of Sir Alexander, we can hardly sup ose that he would pursue any other than an honourable, righteous and straightforward course.

In New Brunswick there has been also an important crisis. The Attorney General of that Province (Hon. Charles Fisher) has been charged with speculating in Crown Lands contrary to the regulations of the Government. Unable to defend | him-elf satis‘actorily, he was called apon by his colleagues to resign. He refused to comply with this request. Lis colleagues then 1esigned. ‘The Lieut. Governor refused to accept their resignation, and on their advice, Mr. Fisher was dismissed from his svat in the Council, which, of cour-e, in- volved the luss of the Attorney Generalship. And matters, at last advices, stand in that predicament.

There is little or no change mm the affairs of the United States. It is semi-officially annonneed that Fort Sumpter will be evacuated, and it is generally believed that this will lead to a reconciliation between the North and South. We) sincerely hope it may be the case.

A QUIBBLE. We copy, without request, the following letter from the | last Islander :

To tae Epiror or tae IsianpeEr.

prietors, in order to dissuade them from adopting harsh ineasures against their tenantry. This amendment was pro- | posed by no less a personage than Mr. Cornelius Howat, and | is as follows :—

‘+ Whereas, this Committee is of opinion that it would not promote the wel'are of the tenants of this Island to pass a Bill, at the present time, to suspend the collection of rents, but on the contrary would bring ruin and distress on many of the said tenants. And whereas, this Committee are desirous to protect the true interests of the tenantry in a legitimate and constitutional manner:

‘+ Resolved, therefore, that an Address be presented to His Excellency the Lieut. Governor, requesting him to use his in- | fluence with all the proprietors of this Colony and their agents, ‘in order to induce them to suspend the collection of all arrears of rent, until the Royal Commissioners on the Land Question

hive made their award.”’

Mr. Howat is so well known that it would be useless to shew the extent of Ais claims to the paternity of the sugges- tion contained in the above amendment. There were two | reasons, evidently, for selecting him as its introdacer ;—first, ‘he was, as we said before, shaky in his opposition to the just ‘claims of the tenantry ;—and secondly, he was about the

readiest dupe that could be got to do the pater familias for an | inconsistency.
