£ Association, by an entire reconstruction of ils constitution, an
improved and enlarged management, and the adoption of mea-
sures to obtain acharter. The correspondence entered into is
said to’ extend through every part of the United Kingdom, and
Doctor Rolph hopes yet to carry out the driginal views of the
projectors, which, it cannot be denied, are of an important cha-
racter for the colonies, and, faithfully administered under the
‘ guarantee of respectable parties, may be the means of doing much
] good. That during the temporary absence of Doctor Rolph, after
the departure of Sir Allan M-Nab, the concern was mismanaged,
there cannot be a donbt, but from. the large properties acquired
in Prince Edward Island, Eastern and Western Canada, amount-
ing altogether to 443.594 acres, and from the great-assurances of
support received, together with the new managemen®, the aspect
of its affairs has become so much more promising as to justify the
acquiescence of the public press. A long letter from Doctor
Rolph, detailing the objects and prospects of the Association, ap-
