months beyond the period at which the convenience and the pecuniary interests of many honorable members requiro that it should terminato. In both these particulars, the present year's session has been made the victim of an innovation upon long established usage...an innovation so daring, so in- jurious, and so utterly indefensible on the ground of necessity, that we earnestly protest against its being erected into a precedent
The prorogation speech, like most orations of the kind, is very smooth and complimentary. To use a homely phrase, His Excellency endeavours 10 "put the best face" on the state of affairs between the Council and himself. Judging from the speech alone, one would suppose that nothing could be more harmonious in temper, word, and work. more loving and true "each to other," than the two
branches of the Legislature of New New South Wales. Nobody would for a moment suspect that between these co-ordinate powers there had been several sharp contentions, and almost a total want of sympathy the one being, in all ite aims and objects, in all its prepossessions and antipathies, essentially colonial, and the other essentially British, one studying, as its paramount duty, the interests of the country placed especially under its charge, and the other the good graces of the Minister in whose smile it officially exists.
I have had much pleasure"-quoth the speech, in being able to co operate cordially with the Council in the passing of some measures, from which results may be expected of much importance to the colony,” and from which, His Excellency might have candidly added, I do not think any of fence can be taken by my masters in Downing- street. We firmly believe that this mental reser
vation in favour of Westminster is coupled, and has been coupled from the first day of his adminis tration, with all the mensures, executive and legis. lative, of Governor Sir George Gipps. Westminster first New South Wales last, At any price, at alt

from the Right Honorable persone e ora frown grasp the colonial seals, New South Wales may go to the bottom of the ocean!
The first measure to which the speech deigus a specific reference, is the reduction of duties on the importation or manufacture of spirituons liquors; that it will be "sufficient to render unprofitable the concerning which flis Excellency indulges a hopo
fraudulent practices of lawless mon," meaning, in plainer English, smuggling and illicit distillation. This hope, may possibly be dastined to a bitter dis- appointment. The concurrent testimony of the witnesses who were examined at the bar of the Council on his point, was certainly not such as to justify the Governor's calculations. Taking that evidence as our guide, we should be rather disposed to the opinion that the measure to which the specch assigns so prominent a place, and upon which it pronounces so high an encomium, will prove about the least profitable of the session.
The best part of the Speech is contained in the last three paragraphs; the Port Phillip people will say that the best of all is the last last of all. These paragraphs are literally true. There is nothing po- litical about them. In descanting on the pros perous state of the colony, the Governor can afford to speak out. He has no fears as to Westminster.
