THE FIRST SHIPMENTS OF OUR SUPPLIES OF GARDEN SEEDS
Reclamation on the ground that the Colony is in a state of prosperity. That ground might well have been passed in silence, as the two other groands were to all appearance un- answerable. The enormous expense in- velved in the suspension of the Prays works threatened to be as great as that E o incurred by proceeding with the work-partly on account of con- tracts and partly because of claims to be modo for compensation. This was an urgamunt the force of which busi- Dess men, whose standing and in fluence in the, Colony entitle their representations to the fullest considera- tion, could not afford to ignore. But to orown all, the marine lot-owners could not agree among themselves to advocate enspension. So that the at- tempt made to ease-off the strain on the sopital of the place by suspending this work, has failed owing to internal dissension. The work will now proceed space--perhaps.
