Messrs. Hensley, Davies, Long- worth, and Messrs. Howlan, Conroy, Brecken, Haslam aud Sinclair supported the prayer of the | peboners on this subject, and coutended that the jamendments contemplated by the Report of the Committee would tend to lessen the evils com- plained ol. Hons. Solicitor General, Warburton, Coles and the Colomal Secretary spoke in opposition to the Report, on the grounds that the restrictions rought to be put vn Tavern-keepers would not reduce the number uf unlicensed Taverns, and might, in wany instances, deprive the travelling public of the necessary accoumodaticns to be had at legally established Taverns, as no man would be disposed to invest his means in a busi- ness which might be closed in twelve mouths. After considerable discussion, relative to the necessity of adupting the most stringent measures tor the suppression of the evils of intemperance, Mr. Howat moved that the Report be agreed to. Hou. Solicitor General moved an amendment that the Speaker take the Chair, which amend- tment was negatived on the following division ; Yeas, 11; Nays, 14. Lhe Report was accordingly agreed to, and the following geutlemeu appointed a Committee to bring iu a Bill in coulormity therete, viz: Messrs. Howat, Hensley aud Davies. House adjourned. Fripay, March 10. On motion of the Hon. Mr, Longworth, the Bill to amend the Savings’ Bank Act was read a third time and passed. On motion of Mr. Hiaslam, the Bill to authorize the appointment of Hog Reeves, and to prevent the guing at large of Swine, was alsu read a third time and passed. On motion of the Hon. Mr. Davies, the Hon. Solicitor General and the Hon. Mr. | Hensley were added to the Committee ap- | pointed to bring in a Bill relative to Mer- | chant Seameti. | Hon. Col. Secretary moved that the Bill | relating to the Oyster fisheries in this Island be read a second time. Hon. Mr. Coles moved an amendment that | said Bill be read this day three months. He | (Lion. Mr. Coles) said he could not see the necessity for legislation on this subject ; he iwas of Opinion that it might be truly said |the time had not arrived for the enactment | of laws to carry out the speculative theories | of the Col. Secretary. ‘The Bill was caleula- ) ted to create trouble and litigation, and he would oppose it. Hon. Mr. Laird and Mr. Howat supported the amendment proposed by the Hon. Mr. Coles, believing, as they did, that it would be inexpedient to legislate on this matter, on the grounds that, under the provisions of this Bill, privileges would be granted to parties obtaining license for the prosecution vf this new branch of trade, which would, in t, by rendering it ne- | fiat we should not be as advantageously situated under it as weareat present. But, Sir, this is not the time to discuss the ques- tivm, for hew can bon. members form opin- éons on the matter until the information embodied ta the correspondencs shall be placed before them? I[ have not sought to knew the course the Government may adopt an this question; but it is no imputation on their courage that they have not indicated slwir action in the address. —I think it would be more prudent to await the action of the ether Colonies. J see by the debates in the (anadian Legislature that the Report of the | (on'ereace is regarded asa treaty. that report may have been an-ented to by the hen. wember himself. There may possibly be amether Cumlerence < if such ahould be the easc, and the hon. member should assist at it, | hope he will eceupy a more comfortable | position than J fear he dues at present. As one of the seven representatives of this Island, he oceupied at the Quehec Conference a high position, aud he had a Ligh and solemn duty to perform, avd he should have discharged it untrammelied by considerations ef mere party. If he was opposed to tle scheme, then was the time ( r him te have manifest- ed his independence, and if he considered that the project would operate prejudicially | to the interests of his country, be should have stated su. Siz, he should have recol tected that it dewelved upon him as 2 promi- ment public maa of the Islaad, deli gated to the mission on which he went, om account of is positiva, to have asserted and i)lustrated | the reputation vf his eountry fer steaightfur- ward honest conduet. If our Island home he limited in area, if its population be sparse and its people puor,in comparison to ovr neigh lors, these Greumstances rendered it more incumbent on these whe repeesentod us te show that we were disposed to act without deception, and not to subject the Culony to the imputation of a breach of faith with eur neighbors. Aste whet has been said by the hon. member with reference to the appoint | ment of the Sulicitor General, it beeomes not situated as lL am with reference to that gentleman, to discuss the subject as fully and freely as L might under othee cireamstances; but i do sa y that the constituency of George- town, which he has fur gears represented, and from whom he secks a renewed expression of confidence, is, although comparatively small, They have had ample opportunities of es mating his eharacter for veracity, and when he openly avows his opinions, in seeking their suffrages, they are best qualified ty know what amount af credence is te he accorded to him. The hon. leader of the “pposition finds that, the Land Question having been finally disposed ef, ao locus standi is left for him, and consequently he must lower the luc, «question of the proposed Union to the lowest | ees of party. There is no fear that the mperia] Government will constrain us te the positive adoption vf the Uniow; and éf 1 sup- posed that the Government of the Island would force this measure, without the «pinion ot the people having been taken upon it, I | would vote for their impeachment. This question involves our political existence, and txe principles for which the oppressed nationalities of the world have been and are straggling. There is no necessity fur haste; if the other Colonies, Nova Séotia and New Brunswick, decline to enter into the c pmapact there is arn end of it: if they shall consent to it, and we be furced to cast in our lot with them. we shall at least have the satis{action ofknowing that we have done our duty to aur country. llon. Mr. Cores.—lUf we are to wait for the pAction of the other Culonies, and to fullow io their footsteps, we may as well tel! them fo send to the Island copies of their proceed- ings and that we will adopt them. I repeat that this is a question on whieh the Govern- tent should declare their policy. In Canada ad the other Colonies it is true that parties formerly opposed to each other, have united bo this matter, but itehould be remembered, On the other hand, that there has been a ombination of men who formerly took dif- Perent sides in politics, in opposition to the heme.

Mr. Hevsley introduced a Bill to repeal the Acts now ir force establishing and regulating the rate of iuterest, and to make some provisions on the same subject.

CONFEDERATION IN CANADA, Tue Toronto Globe of the 24th ult., contains the following paragraph showing, how large a majority supported Confederation in the Upper House of the Canadian Legislature :—- “ The Legislative Council last night passed the Confederation scheme by a vote of forty-five to fifteen, or exactly three to one. The majority, of course, includes a Jarge majority from each see- tion of the Province. Those who predicted a strong opposition to Confederation iu the Upper House find themselves mistaken.” In the course of the debate on Confederation country, by encroaching on the rights of farmers to procure mussel mud for manuring purposes. They would, therefore, oppose the Bill going into Committee. Hon. Sol. General said Oyster fishing was becoming a very important article of com- | merce, and should be fostered. He alluded to the success which fo lowed the artificial cultivation of the Salmon fishery in Australia, | and contended that the principles of the Bill should be recognized. He would, therefore, | | | support the motion for going into Committee.

Mr. Hensley supported the Oyster | Bill of last Session, and saw no reason to | change his views on the subject.

Mr. Brecken said that the object of the hon. member fur Tryon, (Mr. Howat,) being the protection of Mussel beds, it would be well to remark that Oysters would not exist in Mussel beds, and would, therefore, never be planted where such beds for manuring purposes were to be found, consequently the interests of farmers would not be interfered | with in the manner anticipated by that hon. | member. lion.

Tue papers reecived from the above Colony by the late Mails are filled with the reports of debates in the House of Assembly on the ques- tion_ef Colonial Confederat.on, the mit er having been brought te the notice of the House in the Speech of the Lieutenaxt Governor onthe opening ol the Session, The arguments for, and against, are, without any substaatial difference, the same us those that have been urged here on both sides of the question at the several public meetings which have been held. Messrs. Carter and Shea, the Delegates frem Newfoundland, have very ably advocated the measure in the House of Assembly, and several other members in the / House have given them the most effective support. The Government of Newfoundland seems to trezt Confederation, as the Govrenmeat of this Island dues, ia a spirit that seems to say—* Confeder- ation may be aecepted if the continental Colonies be safely and convenieatly rejected.” It is, im fact, an epen question; and in that light the op- ponents of Coufederation have as much reason to fear the action of the Government as they would have if they had boldly committed themselves at once to an acceptance of the Report of the Que- bee Convention. The following is the Resolution which the Go- vernment of Newfoundiand proposed to sabmit to the House of Assembly on the question referred to:— “ Resolred,—That having had under their most serious and deliberate consideration the proposal for the formation of a Federal Union of the British North American Provinces, upon the terms con- tained in the Report of the Convention of Liele- gates beld at Quebec ov the 10th of October Jast, —the Deapaten of the Right Honerable the Se- eretary of State fer the Colonies, Decem- report of the Newfoundland Delegates, — this Committee are of opinion, that having regard to the comparative novelty and very great unport- ance of this project, it is desirable that betore a vote of the Legislature is taken upen it, it should be submitted to the consideration of the people at large—particularly as the action of the other Pro- vinces does not appear tu require that it shwuld be hastily disposed of, and as (the present being the last session of this Assewbly) no unreasonable delay can be occasioned by this course; and they therefore recommend that a final determination upon this important subject be deterred to the wext meeting of this Legislature.” ee THE LEGISLATURE. WE have nothing of special interest to report connected with the proceedings of the Legislature since our last issue. The House of Assembly, its admirers wili be happy to learn, bas not been over-worked. It has passed a Bill relating to bogs and the duties of hog-reeves—it has amerd- ed the Oyster Bill of jast Session — it has had some talk about altering the Licence Law, and amending the Savings’ Bank Lill; but we den't think the interests of the country will be very much advanced by this kind of legislation. ‘The Debate on the question of Confederation of the Colonies, though set down fer Friday last, has not yet commenced, aud will probably be deferred until after the session of the Supreme Court at Georgetown, which will meet to-morrow, and at which two or three members of the House are required to be present. NEW BRUNSWICK. OwR advices received by the regular Mail from this Province during the past week, confirm, to some extent, the telegraphic reports as tu the re- sults of the elections there. We have no longer any reason to duubt that the Counties ef West- morland, York and St. John have returned can- didates opposed to the contemplated Confeder- ation of the Provinces. The result in Westmor- land causes no surprize, as, previously to the elec- tion, it was regarded as adverse to the cause. With respect to St. John and York Counties, the case was different. Those two Counties were ‘and Mr. Gray would be both returned. The Mer- The Exaniner. | this Island would get £48,000, or any other sum | | expected to return Confederation Candidates; and in St. John, no one seemed to doubt that Mr. Tilley cantile interest was, however, too strong for them ; that interest is, unfortunately arrayed against Con- federation, to a large extent, in all the provinces ; and no one doubts that its opposition springs ul- most exclusively from mereenary motives. There is nol, perhaps, in the Lower Provinces a city somuch under the controul of the mercantile body as St. John; and it is through the influence of that body that Messrs. Tilley and Gray have lost their elections, to make room fer wen who can bear no comparison with them for ability and experience. It is, however, highly probable that another section of the Province will repair the damage done to the provincial character by return. ing Mr. Tilley; and we fervently hope that a con- stituency willalso be found toaecord a like measure ef justice to his able coadjutor, Mr.Gray. Apart from Confederation, the Provinee would sustain a very serious loss if those gentlemen were to be long excluded from the Legislature. Their equals are not to be found in the ranks of all the public men of New Brunswick ; and although St. John bas been stupid aud ungrateful enough to reject them, that will not lessen their character in the estimation of the public. Other constituencies may be glad to secure their services, as has been often the case with the very ablest statesmen in England—the late Lord:Macaulay for example— who, at different times, lost their elections in certain places through the lucal prejudices and self interests of certain classes of electors, and who were triumphantly returned for other places where no such influences prevailed. The anti-Federalists are a little too fast in glorifying themselves so immensely as they do over the twoor three elections which have result- ‘LATEST NEWS FROM EUROPE.

PATRICK'S DAY! N the EVENING of the DAY above named, (FRIDAY NEXT, the 17th inetaut, the members of the ST. C. C. SOCIETY will give e CONCERT in speculations on recent peace Conference. Globe, 15th, is fully convinced that peace nego- tiations were utter failure, and that war enters upon new term, both parties determined to put everything to arbitrament of sword; this Gon- ference having failed, peace advocates on both sides will now be silenced. Siar, 17th, believes Conference was entered upon in good faith by both parties, meeting en- tirely for discussion aud interchange of views; a kind of preliminary meeting to ascertain whe- ther any common basis could be discovered on which negotiations might be opened in a more for- mal manner. In its very,nature it was 2 Couter- ence of which details could not immediately be made public, and because of this apparent waat of result, journals of North were probably too apt to take a somewhat decided view of failure. Index observes that mere fuct of negotiations having been found possible, demonstrates with what rapid strides the American people have een advancing towards idea of peace. It re- Juices that South has prized independence above advangtages of passing hour. Times, 14th, thiuks thus far not least sign vi any real movement in direction of peace. Ame ricans are slaves of an idea, their dream of a powerful Confederation amounts almost to a mo- bomania. Se long as that idol stands on its pe- destal, war must rage on, and Times sees no symptom of its early overthrow. Arwy and Navy Gazette thinks meeting only marks new phase in conflict, makes boundary line between belligerents broader and deeper, and renders peace, it fears, imporsible till one party or the uther have won the fight. Parliamentary proceedings continued unimpor- tant. Inthe House of Commons, on 17th, Mr. Lay- ard, in response to Mr. Watkin, bore testimony to the great tact, discretion aud ability with which Lord Lyons discharged his duties at Washington. ln no one of many thousand cases had he tailed to obtain highest approval of Government, and his duties had been so laborious that in one year his despatches filled sixty folio volumes Under such circumstances it was not surprising his health had brokeu down, and for the present Go- vernment forebore to press him to decide whether he would return or not. Meantime Mr. Burnley Hume was most satisfactorily discharging duties of Embassy. Mr. Watkin complained that Gevernment was allowing the Reciprocity Treaty to be set aside without the slightest attempt to avert it by nego- tiations. He also complained that intercepted letter had been published without explanation, stating that Liucoln bad himself signed orders for breaking the blockade at Mobile, while American Ambassador was constantly complaining of Bri- tish subjects doing so. He moved for papers, Mr. Layard said there was nv papers, to produce. The Index, Confederate organ, says 715 Ame- rican ships have been transferred to British re- gistry since commencement of war. Army and Navy Gazette says army estimation has been framed so as to reduce strength of army by about 3,000 men. {From Wilmer and Smith's Times, Feb. 18.] The death of Cardinal Wiseman has not taken the publie by surprise. His health for a period was 80 hopelessly bad that his friends have long feared the worst, and that has now eecurred For several years he labored under the distress- ing malady known as diabetes, a disease hitherto deemed incurable ; but the Cardinal, nevertheless, bravely struggied against it, and believed that it had yielded to medical treatment, when it was announced that the inroads made on his consti- tution had been so serious that he could only find relief in the grave. The late Cardinal Wiseman was one of the most remarkable men of the 19th century. His scholastic and scieutifie attain- meuts were extraordinary. The Deputy-director of Fortifications, Lieut. Col. Jervois, has presented a Jong and elaborate report to the Seeretary-at-War on the Defence, a subject which bas of late excited considerable attention at home, as well as in the Colonies He advocates the fortification of the two principal cities in the Lower Province—Quebee and Mon- treal; and also Kingston, Toronto and Hamilton, in the Upper Province. He maintains that these points, supported by the Militia and Volun- teers, and a proper number of gunbuats on the ed adversely for the Confederation cause.

Matvs were received here frum the other Pro- vinces and the United States about 12 v’clock on Saturday night. The latest Provincial dates do not reach further down than the 9th instant, and the papers contain no news of any importance further than what we had received by telegraph. Nova Seotia and New Brunswick journals are largely occupied with discussions on the result of the elections inthe latter Province. The anti- Confederate party claim a majority in the new House,—but the Confederates coutend that the parties will be nearly equalized, as some mem- bers, presumed to be opposed to Confederation, are not so, but will vote for it when the question will come before the Legislature. It is impos- sible, however, to determine how Cunfederation will be disposed of in New Bruuswick uatil the Legislature of that Province shall mect. rbd Sivabeb pete Carnotic Y, M. L.

As the govd feel- ig between Great Britain and the United States, which has been temporally estranged, returns, this defence question will Jose much of the in- terest which at present attaches to it. Even now there are syu:ptois of a good understanding returning. ‘Lhe fair and impartial conduct of the Canadiau Government and people in the matter of the raiders has induced President Lineoln to rescind the systeiu of passports relative to Canada, which was adopted in the heat of excitement arising out of the violation of American territory, and when the war is over, the probability is that oo will siuk down again to ther old pacific evel. The proposal in the United States to abrogate the Reciprocity Treaty with Canada is regarded in this country by seme of the strongest well- wishers of Mr. Lineoln and his cabinet as a retrogade and ill-advised step. This revocation has been declared to imperil the peace of two nations, the morality of two frontier populations, and the fortunes of large classes, commercial and agricultural, in the United States. ‘The working , of this Treaty during the last ten years has been eminently satisfactory to all concerned.
