The Council met pursuant to summons.

The Rev. Robert Cole, Colonial Chaplain, being in attendance, was introduced, and read

prayers.

flis Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor then opened the Council by reading his address:— GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL,

Ir affords me much satisfaction to be enabled to call you together for the dispatch of public business, and to have it in my power now for the first time to resort to the advice and assistance of a legislature in carrying on the government of the province; nor is it a source of less gratification to me to reflect that, in thus calling you to share with me in the responsibility of directing and fostering the energies of our young and rising community, I do so at a time when the clifficulties and impediments in the way of an onward progress are rapidly clearing away, and a bright and promising prospect opening out for the future.

To place before you the means of obtaining information on many points which are important in considering the questions likely to engage your attention, I have directed a variety of statis- tical and comparative returns to be prepared and laid before you. Some of those for past years are, I regret to say, less perfect than I could have wished, owing to the very imperfect records then kept; and some difficulty has also been experienced in collecting or comparing returns from the more dietant settlements, owing to the infrequency and uncertainty of commu- nicating with them. Every exertion, however, which circumstances would admit of, has been made to render the returns as complete and as useful as possible.

The usual financial returns will be laid before you as soon as they can be completed, and it will be my duty, in bringing forward the estimates for the year, to make such remarks in explanation of them as each particular service may seem to call for.

I am happy to inform you that the revenue of the province is steadily and progressively improving; and although at present not quite equal to the expenditure, I confidently trust that it will be so another year. I rely upon your assistance and co-operation in administering the public resources as economically as is consistent with the efficiency of the public service; but I would guard you against the fallacy of supposing that there is any true economy in reducing the strength of public departments to a degree incompatible with the proper discharge of the duties expected from them. I would remind you also, that in this province many of the departments have been but very recently called into existence; and that, in first organizing the stablishments necessary to carry on the business of Government, a much larger expenditure is unavoidably incurred in proportion to the revenue than is the case when the various depart- nents of the public service have been in full operation for some years. It is probable, there- fore, that the existing establishments of the province will, with some slight modifications and additions, suffice for conducting the business of the Government when the amount of revenue shall have become double what it is at present.

It ought to be a source of great thankfulness to us, Gentlemen, that under the Divine blessing this province continues to enjoy peace and tranquillity; and that the amicable relations existing between both races of Her Majesty's subjects are daily being strengthened and cemented by a better knowledge of each other, and by a growing conviction that their dependence upon each other is mutual, and their interests identical.

Of the many embarrassing questions which at one time existed in reference to land, and out of which in reality arose most of the differences or disagreements between the two races, but few now remain unadjusted; and these few are, I trust, gradually tending to a satisfactory issue. It affords me auch pleasure to announce to you, that since this Council met here in December last, two very important land questions have been arranged; the first relates to a purchase in the Middle Island, comprising the whole country between the Wairau and Otago blocks, and extending from one coast to the other. For the acquisition of this district nego- ciations were commenced and terms entered into early in 18-48; but it has only been within the last few months, when all the native reserves were determined and marked out upon the ground, that the purchase could be considered complete, and all sources of future difficulty or disagreement removed.
