In comparing the foregoing Tables with those of the previous year, it will be observed that they do ant furnish so much detail, and that cno, (een Table No. 2 for 1845) giving a statement of the different Diseases among the Government Officers, &c., is altoguthier omitted, This is unavoidable, owing to the death of the Colonial Bargeon, tholate Dr Dill, in the month of September; and his successor, being able to give an accurato return of the Disongen for the first nine months, has thought it better to Love this Table blank, than to make a portial re- Larn only.

The words had such a softening intueace, that he appended a term of endearment to Mr Doubey's name (though not without some hesitation, as being a man but little used to that form of address); and said, "Mra Domboy my my dear."
