SAINT CHRISTOPHER.
Addresses of the Honorable the Legislative Council and the House of Assembly, unanimously adopted and presented to LIEUTENANT GOV- ERNOR ROBINSON, upon his temporary relinquishment of the Government of St. Christopher and Anguilla, and approaching assumption of the Government-in-Chief of the Leeward Islands; with the LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR'S replies thereto.
Address of the Legislative Council,
To His Excellency HERCULES GEorge Robert ROBINSON, Esquire, Lieutenant Governor of the Islands of Antigua, St, Christopher, and Anguilla, Administering the Govern-ent of the Islands of St. Christopher and Anguillu, Chancellor, Vice Admiral, and Ordinary of the same, &c., &c., se.
May it please Your Exellency,
We, the Members of the Board of Council of St. Christopher, regret to learn from the an- nouncement recently made to us, that the Island will shortly be deprived of Your Excellency's presence as Representative of Our Most Gra- cious Sovereign.
We shall rejoice for our own sakes should your Excellency's absence be of no long conti muance; but we cannot allow the opportunity to escape us of congratulating you on the more important sphere to which Her Majesty has been pleased to advance you, during the ab- sence of His Excellency the Governor-in-Chief.
In the administration of the affairs of Saint Christopher, your Excellency has passed four rather eventful years; and when we regard the various and important improvements which are manifested in the financial condition of the Island; in the many Public Works, calculated to be useful and to elevate the inhabitants, which have been commenced and carried to successful completion; in the Laws relating to Immigration; Sanatory Regulations for inter- mal as well as external government; Police and
Protective Forces; and ultimately, in an eff · cient responsible Administrative System, we are conscious of the lasting gratitude this Island owes to your Excellency's intelligent, skilful, and patient guidance, and to that sin gleness of mind which has ever made the Pub- lic weal the one prominent object to your Ex- cellency's view.
In conclusion, we are happy to believe that we need scarcely assure your Excellency of our deep regret at your departure, and of the sincerity with which we wish for the mer- ited advancement of your Excellency, and for the future happiness of your family. The knowledge that the former may best be promo-" ted by a removal to a larger circle of duty, affords the only satisfaction that we can derive at the prospect of a termination to that official intercourse with your Excellency, which has throughout your administration, been uniform- ly so gratifying to us.

The Lieutenant Governor's Reply.
Mr. President, My Lord Bishop, and Gen-
tlemen of the Legislative Council,
I accept with no ordinary feelings of grati- Acation the expression of kind feelings con tained, in the Address which you baye just presented to me.
It has indeed been my constant desire to live in harmony with, and promote the real
interests of the community over which it has been my good fortune to preside. As you state, many social improvements have of late years been carried into effect, and it has been well observed that the character of a country is ex- pressed in its institutions; but whatever suc cess hasatiefiled upon my efforts;-end of which your generosity has formed a judgment "Tavor- able far beyond my expectations, the result is mainly puributable to the advice and arsist.
