Some of the highest functionaries in the Colony obtained leave of absence last year, not so much on account of any immediately urgent sickness, as for the purpose of renovating the general health, deteriorated by a long residence in the East.
As the physical circumstances which surround the population of this Colony cannot be investigated too often. The experience of every country demonstrates the injurious influence of a settlement upon human health, and the gradual, imperceptible and beneficial changes which the appliances and arrangements of a new civilization and habitation produced. The formation of roads, the draining of the land, its cultivation, and the equal adaptation of vegetable to animal life.
