You will, I am sure, have observed, with just pride, the loyalty and the spirit which your tellow subjects in the neighbouring Pro- vinces have displayed, when threatened by piratical attacks at the hauds of lawless men. I know that, should an emerzency ever unfor- tunately oceurin this Island, I could rely with confidence on a like apirit in its inhabitants of every creed and station, But I must seriously urge upon you the necessity of doing all in your power towards making due preparation for such an emerseney by giving your earnest cousider- ation to the lawa which at present regulate, the Militia and the Volunteer force. ;

I am glad to inform you that the stock, pnr- chased in England for the model farm, arrived in a very satisfactory condition, I am conf- dent that you will cheerfully give your con- currence tu such @ grant ‘as’ may be deemed necessary for the support of an iustitution so well calculated to adyance the azricultural interests of the Colony.

I now commit to you the business of the Session, with the fervent prayer that your de- iberations may, under the Divine blessing, eon- duce to the welfare and prosperity of this Island.
