I have consulted the Members of the Executive and Legislative Councils respecting the proposals submitted in this despatch; and they have all signified their cordial agreement. The feeling of the Community at large appears to be equally unanimous in favour of the proposed amendment of the Constitution of this Colony. If the plan of reform now submitted for Your Lordship's consideration, should meet with Your approval, it will undoubtedly have the effect of removing much official embarrassment, and much public dissatisfaction; it will secure for the Government and the legislature the valuable and hearty support of the intelligence and property of the Colony, and it will powerfully strengthen the hands of the Governor in carrying out the views of Her Majesty's Government.

I have the honor to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's Much Obedient,
J.W.
John Bowring
