diently communicated by me to the Colonial Govern-

essential means of colonisation in this Province, and as
one important link in the chain of communication
hroughout the Middle Island, to recommend it to the
support of the Colonial Government and Legislature.

The various other matters upon which you have
requested action on my part or upon which you have
expressed an opinion, shall receive my earliest atten-
tion, with the desire to carry out your wishes in the
most effective manner.

I now declare this Council prorogued.
