The Governor makes no special allusion to this serious defect, although | Mr Francis, at the Sanitary Board mest- ing the other day, made a reference to it in those incisive-terms-for which the Queen's Counsel is celebrated. In the despatch, His Excellency observer,~-~

As regards the existing drainage and water works and their completion and extension your Lordship will no doubt. consult Mr Cooper, the Director of Public Works, who is now on leave of absence in England and who can give you the fullest and most reliable information in respect to those subject.a" This remark implies that Mr Cooper will not retira to duty hers early as is generally believed, for if he is to give the fullest and most reliable information' to the Colo- nial Ofca after this despatch reaches Home, he cannot return to his duty here before the end of August.

upon the commercial and financial aspect of the plague. This portion of the despatch contains the best summary of the serious effect upon the Colony of the outbreak which has yet appeared, sad we must congratulate His · Ex- cellency upon his effective handling of this part of his subject. In view of the vast loss to commerce, to industries, to property, and to revenue, the Govern- want is quite justified in ranking this terrible visitation as an unprecedented calamity. The enormous outlay involv ed by remedial messures, not to men- tion the cost of dealing with the actual plague itself, fully justifies His Ex- cellency in 'reminding the Secretary of State that an appeal may heresiter be made for help and consideration from the Home Government similar to that extended to Mauritius about two years ago. The help might take the form of a loan upon easy terms, and the consideration' might fairly be shown by a reduction of the Military Con- tribution to the old figure for a period of years.

EVERY man who still desires to see law and order maintained throughout the world-and we believe the farga ma- jority of mon oling to that old-fashioned principle-will be shocked to learn that resident Carnot bas been done to douth by an assassin.

The deed may, however, lead to the adoption of more severe and wholesome measures in dealing with the advocates of wholesale marder and ass- assination who appear now to run riot throughout Europe.

Sta William Robinson's despatch to the Secretary of State, dated 20th instant, and published last evening, gives on the whole a fair idea of what has been done to battle with the Plague, since that dire disease was accidentally dis covered to be in our midst. As for the measures adopted to prevent its in- troduction, or the steps token to discover its existance, these will not be found referred to at great length in the Go- vernor's despatch.
