nllly tender Your Excellency our thanks for your Speech delivered at the opening of the present Session.

Your Excellency having deemch advl. isnble that. during the Recess. n. 1 elegutc should pmcectl to England. to carry out the intention of the Legislature respecting the Act of the last Session passed to authorize the raising of a Loan. and also to ascertain the terms upon which the Pmprlctorn‘ of various 't‘ownshln lands would be willing to dispose of their Estates. it is to be regretted that the negotiations wltll those Proprietors have not been productive of any beneficial results.

As the making extensive purchases of lands was one of the principal objects ofthe Lettin- lnturc in passing the Loan Act. we can fully understand that necessarily. it has not. as yet. been deemed advisable to proceed with tho contemplated loan.

When your Excellency is pleased to lay before us the oplulon of the Law Unicorn on the case ofthe petitioners who have pur- chased nmn the Government parts ofthe Sel- lllrl: Estate. and who have applied to your Excellency to be relieved from the payment of any more or the prices at which they pur- chased than will-be sulllclcut to pay for the

slrc. and in the hopes of our concurring in such measures as may appear equitable and convenient on the subject.

The Bill to he submitted to us for relax- ing: the statutshlc provisions for the sale of Public “lideruess lauds will readily meet our attention. and we trust when matured it may be rendered conducive towards the more speedy settlement and disposition of those Estates.

We will cheerfully proceed to consider the subject of Education, out! when the measure for consolidating the present Acts on thls most important subject is submitted to us. . our earnest endeavors will be. applied to- ; wards rendering more perfect the system of 1 education whleh at present prevails. so that -lls practical benefits may prove more com- 1 mensnrntc with the Public provisions made i for that object.‘ «

to whatever manner the subject of the im- provement of the Highways—one 'ot' ‘snch vast utility to the people of this Colony— shull be laid befone'us. it shall claim our 1111x- lous attention. and Ill giving it our cousi- tlcmtlou we will gladly avail ourselves of the valuable information respecting the best method of Improvement. we anticipate, will he found in the Report of the lmglslattvo Conunltte on this subject, when laid before us. '

it Is wry gratifying to us to hear of the. success which attended the Exhibition of

articles or local industry has Autumn. What-n

ever encouragement ha otter-ed by the other Branch of the Legislature to thriller stimu- late this object: of 001001111 cutorprlse. shall receive our willing concurrence.
