“House of

Tuesday. March 30.

Mr. Peter Sinclair hoped the Govern- ment \vould continue to art as judiciously in the Iuturo as they had in the past. iii l'|l\‘illg lands under the provisions 01 the Ilii.‘ under consideration. There were It‘llfl'lll‘)’ whose proprietors would not soil under the provision oi the Land Purchase Iiill. In order, therefore. to place the Government in a position to purchase lands that mighton‘er Ior sale. it was ac- cc“ 'y to give them power to act.

Mr. Howat would support the Resolu- tion. and hoped every economy would be used in expending the stun placed at the disposal of the Government; and he sincerely trusted that Lot 11) would be among the Estates that. would be bought by the Government.

IIon. Mr. Davies said. the proprietors rclused to sell on reasonable terms. Ten- ants having short leases in some parts of the District which he represented, and also mi the cast River. would soon be in the hands of the pro rictors. some oi whom threatened alt-eat y that the terms on which new leases would be granted were to be at £20 ayr-arrent. and £100 to be paid down on receiving such new leases. Some measure ‘sliould be adopted similar in principle to Sic Tenant Compensation Bill.

ywhich farmers would be allowed lor their improvements. Such a law existed in 1-2n land, and he could see no just groan 3 against its adoption hero.

“on. Mr. Colcs said, when lieintroduced tho Tenant Compensation Bill. 75. 6d. an acre was the highest sum paid tor lands, but the placing 01 an extended power in the Government would enable them to deal with the proprietors more efl‘ectually, and exe 'isc their discretion as to the rates at which to effect purchases. There might be some choice 5 ots worth 133. per acre, but much 01 the ands in the hands of the proprietors were worth only 75. 6d. There was no use to try compensation nor coni- pnlsory measures now. Ho be ad that with the means about to be place in their hands, the Government would wipe out the remaining Irnvments of the Land Question. Landed proprietors were getting low and beautifully less. Messrs. Pope at IIavilnnd‘s estates had been bought since last Session. and now the Mrssrs. Palmer were disposed to sell. IIe re- gretted that those poor tenants in his Dis- trict, alluded to by the Iloii. Mr. Davies, were not likely to be bcneiitted by the measure about to be assed. as their pro-

rietors evinced no disposition to sell. Ile lioped. however, the whole Land Question would ere long be finally settled.

I‘Ion. Attorney General. IIon. Illr. Havi- Iand, and Ilon. Mr. Laird concurred with the sentiments expressed by the lion. ColonialSceretary. ntid complimented him on the very excellent tone at his remarks. They severally expressed the hope that the incumbus would soon be removed, and that the odiuui attached to holding out against the will 01 the people would yet influence the owners of ’ racndio, Fort Au ustus. and other small estates to sell their lands to the Government. Sticli rc- solution was then passed unanimously and a Committee appointed to bring in a Bill in coutorniity therewith.

House in Committee on iurthcrconsider— ntion 01 Supply. The chairman Mr. Bell, reported several resolutions agreed to.

Mr. Ilowat directed attention to Cape Traverse Wharf. and asked it part: of that sum was to be ex ended on that whari. Capo Traverse ha a strong claim on the Government tor a portion oi that grant. There Were Iar o quantities of produce raised there. an the nearest proper or sale shipping place was Crapaud or Bcdcque. Cape 'Iravei'se was the nearest point to the opposite shore, and he believed. would soon be the landing place for steamers running to the Main Laud.

lIon. Members on both sides of the House spoke of the necessity of building \l'haris, Iireakwaters. and improving Ilar— hors in ditl'ercnt arts of the Country. Crapand anti New ondon Harbors were specially alluded to as requiring expendi- ture; and also Rustico. Wood Islands. Murray IIarbor. Souris. and the different Ilarbors on the North Sirdre oi the Island. The necessity 01' extending public works in order to remoye, as tar as possible every barrier to the trade 01 the Colony was luliy catered into during the discussion.

’lncnsau, April lat. Mr. Bell. Chairman ofthe Committee of Supply, reported several Resolutions which were agreed to. Ilon. Mr. llaviland moved a Resolution. seconded by Hon. Mr.McAuluy,to the cf- fcct that the act of the house last night,in report of the Committee, granting a year- ly Salary to the Lieut. Governor of this Colonynvas unconstitutional and contrary to Parliamentary rule; and that. there- fore, the said report of a Resolution be received by the House to day. After some remarks from Hon Attorney General and other hon members, on the point, Ilon. Attorney General moved, as an amendment to the proposeu Resolution of the Hon. Mr. Huviland, that the quest- ion of concurrence be again this day, put on the Resolution reported last evening from the Committee of the whole House on the subject of the Lieut. Governor’s Salary. Question put on amendment—Division as follows 1—- Yaas Hons. Attorney General, Colonial Secretary Laird, Kelly. Davies. Calibeck Duncan, Henderson, Messrs Reilly, 1’. Sinclair, Bell.

’ ‘lie Resolution reported from the Com- mittee last night, was then again read.

The discussion on said questions of Governor's Salary was then again renew- ed to some extent.

lion. Attorney General presented a Copy of Dcspatch from the Govcrnment of this Colony to Earl Granville, dated 15th February, 1869, and also the re- piyof Earl Granville. Secretary of State for the Colonies. The former sets forth the injuries sustained by this Island be- cause of the alienation of its lands, and enters fully into the whole history of the Land Question of the Colony reviewing the various ciforts that had from time to time been put forth to restore to the Col- ony those lands on just and equitable terms.

Said Despatcli or Memorial states that three Secretaries of State had intimated their desire thot the Colony should assure the payment of the Governor's Salary ; but as that Salary was originally paid by the Imperial Governmet as an indemnity for the injury of the Colony had sustain- ed by reason of the alienation ofita lands it was neither just nor generous to insist on that demand on the Colony, unless a remedy was first provided for the evils complained of, which remedy could not be found. without the Imperial Govern- ment could be induced to sanction a Bill, compelling proprietors to convey their lands to the Government on tender of their value previously ascertained, and also to assure the local Government to obtain the necessary funds for that pur- pose, by giving the Imperial guarantee to a loan of money to be raised in the Lon- don Market. In order to settle the fair value to proprietors, a tribunal of gentle- man of experience and integrity would have to be selected. Assuming that say £100,000 str., would be required to buy up the Proprietary rights, and that the sum‘ was raised by sale of Colonial De- bentures with the Imperial guarantee at par with 4 per cent interest, it was cer- tain that at least a saving of2 per cent per annum would accrue to the Colony which if the debentures were made pay- able in say 30 years from their date, would amount to such a sum as would enable the Government to press upon the Legislature. with better prospect of it. being favourably entertained, the question ofthc payment of the Governor's Salary, and to procure a final solution of the Land Question and cost to the Imperial Treasury without injustice to the Proprietors or loss to the Colony.

The reply to the Despatch in question is as follows.—

Pruner: Enwann Ismrm.

DOWNINO Srnaar, 13th March, 1809.

Sin :—I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your Despntcli, N0. 13; of the 15th February last. endorsing, with other docu- ments the copy of an address from the Ex- ecutive Council of Prince Edward Island. praying that. the consent of Her Majesty’s Government. may be obtained to the intro- duction of such measures in the local Legislav ture as iriny be necessary to enforce a com- p‘ulsory sale by the proprietors of lands in the Colony to the local Government.

Having regard to the evident uncertainty whether the Colony of Prince Edward Island will or will not soon unite itself to the Do- minion of Canada, I am not prtpured to en- ter on the consideration of a question with which if such union to ensue the Imperial Government would probably cease to concern itsclI. The Land Question, therefore. should in my opinion he left. as far as possible, for the decision of those who, under the altered circumstances oi‘thc Colony. would have to carry into execution any measures connected with it.

I cannot hold out any hope that the Im- perialGovernment will. under any circum- stances, ngree to guarantee a loan for the purpose of acquiring the wild lands from the present proprietors.

I have already conveyed to you thedecision of Her Mnjesty'l Government on the subject of the Governor's Salary.
