Indeed, it would be difficult to find in any thing such a multiplicity of words to so little pur- pose. It is very near all preface or preamble. It recites the history of the Land Commaission—re- ers to Col. Gray's resolutions—to the correspon- dence between the Colony and the Colonial Office, and that between the latter and Sir Samuel Cun- ard with four or five other proprietors—copies the Queen’s commission to Messrs. Gray, Howe and Ritchie—informs us that those Commissioners held their Court in this Island and at Rothsay— that their report was concluded and forwarded to England, “with their own proper signatures affixed,” (the latter statement is of course given | on trust, as no human eye in this Colony ever saw | the written document,)—and that the printed copy which had been forwarded by the Duke of Neweastle to the Lieut Governor had been com- fixed price ; and the Commissioners very properly state that it is in the power of the Crown to inter- fere at any time with private rights when great public interests are concerned, as was done in the | Sovereigns. The Purse was wrought for the pur- pose by the fair hands of one of the ladies of the Convent. At the presentation the Bishop was sur- case of the emancipation of the West India slaves and the abolition of the seignorial tenures in Ca- nada. The gallant Colonel did not fail to remind us, for about the twentieth time this Session, of his rich counexions and friends in England, and he patronizingly informed the House that whenever the Government of this country wanted to buy lands on good terms, he would fiud tue money to pay fur them. It is rather unfortunate that this proof of his great patriotism was not given by the Honorable Colonel when he, as one of the Govern- ment, purchased the Selkirk and Lot 54 Estates, and made a heavy charge upon the Colony for ex- chahge and Bank accommodation, without afford- ing the people of the Island the poor satisfaction of knowing all the terms upon which their money was spent. We believe aud hope that the people have no desire for any more private jobbing in money matters. Colonel Gray’s name may be very potential amongst bankers and capitalists in England, but the Colonel will pardon us if we be- lieve that it is much safer to trust to the guarantee of the British Government in our financial affairs —when we know that that Government is likely to endure for a great many years—than to the casual and idle word of an irresponsible gentleman far advanced into the afternoon of life, and sub- ject to distressing fits of hypochondriasis, super- indueed, as he himself assures us, by his deep re- flections on monetary affairs. There were other points in the debate which we would like to notice, but we have no space to do so. Comment on the Bill to confirm the Award, is, however, unnecessary. here is sufficient in- telligence abroad to convince even the most igno- rant that the whole thing is based upon clap-trap and delusion; and we believe the Government could not do a greater service to their opponents than by taking the part they have in reference to the whole transaction. When the Bill was reported from Committee, Mr. Coles moved the following resolution :— as Resolved, That the Bill be referred back to Committee, to add a clause to guarantee the inte- rest on the Loan of £100,000, as r2eommended by the Royal Commissioners in their Report.” For the resolution — Messrs. Coles, Whelan, Cooper, Kelly, Conroy—5. pared with the original in England and found cor- rect—(that. being another statement taken on | trust, for we have no positive knowledge of the | fact). The preamble also recites that the House | of Assembly had pledged themselves by certain re-| solutions,—which are, of course, given at length | to make the thing appear as big as pometo~-t0} confirm the Award of the Commission, and in con. | formity with this vague pledge one short enacting | clause is introduced into the Bill. The thing looks | like a great unwieldy edifice, which, on examina- | tion, is found to consist ef an immense porch and | hall leading to a diminutive apartment, intended | to answer the purposes of parlour, kitchen, bed-| room, scullery and cellar.

At this second fire a portion of the Halifax Fire Department crossed in the ferry boat with their machines, and rendered such assistance as was in their power; but although the Halifax Firemen were at the ferry slip in force during the first fire,the steamer did not cross for them, and after waiting about an hour the men returned to their homes. It appears to us that in cases of fire at Dartmouth some mode of signalizing should be adopted, in order that our firemen might be made aware whether or not their services are required, and, it required, they should be conveyed to the harbour without unne- cessary delay. It is our melancholy duty to state that one of the inmates of the latter house, Mrs. Cripps, daughter of Mrs. Hague, who was sleeping in the attic, was burned to death.

As regards a remission of rents, the resolutions certainly suggested some amelioration of that kind, but the impression was conveyed that the remis- sion would be a large and substantial one — not confined to four or five estates out of some forty, nor to a class of tenants so very poor and so few as to be indebted for their rents for a period prior to 1858. Besides, even that small class are not entitled to demand a remission of rents they be prepared to purchase their farms at 20s, 30s, or 40s, an acre, in instalments of ten pounds each year, besides their annual rent, and all the arrears that may have accrued since 1858.
