seat of M. Johnson, who is the locum tenens of M. Keswick during the absence of the latter gentleman from the Colony.

Under the circumstances stated, it would be hard measure, and in direct opposition to the general feeling of this community, to deprive suddenly Mr. Ryrie & Mr. Johnson of the position which they fill with honour to themselves and with advantage to the Colony. They should certainly be allowed a term of six years under the new Instructions.

Accordingly, and in pursuance of the advice of the Attorney-General, I intend, as soon as the formal Instructions arrive, to re-appoint Mr. Ryrie and Mr. Johnson, provisionally, and subject to Her Majesty's approval and confirmation. Moreover, by the same advice I shall appoint provisionally Mr. Jackson and Mr. Sassoon who (as we have seen) have been nominated respectively by the Chamber of Commerce and by the Bench of Justices of the Peace.

I may add that Mr. Bulkeley Johnson intends to resign his seat and to retire to England.
