His Excellency' the Governor this day met the other branches of our Colonial Legislature at the Town Hall, and, as is usual in the commencement of a Session it being the first meeting since the election of Repte+erv ,tatives,) he was pleased to address the Council and As sembly as follows 2 " Mr. President, and Gentlemen of his Majesty's Council, In once again meeting you at the commencement itf a new Session of the Legislature, I have to acknow lertge your desire for the amelioration and amendment .of the Slave Laws, by the Bill which you framed for that purpose, and on which you bestowed so much la bour and time during the last Session ; ;id consequently I entertain no doubt that you will consider on, and endeavour to adopt such measures as may best tend t<l .remove the difficulties which have, and may ag4in occur, to prevent the completion of this most salutary and most necessary law. " Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the Douse of Assembly, " 1 have called you together, aF the very earliest op Z portunity, for else dispatch of public business, - feeling the urgent necessity of the immediate renewal of those labours which occupied so large a portion of your time during the last session in the consideration of a Police Bill ; and_more particularly of that for the melioration, amendment, and consolidation- of the SI we Laws, which was framed by the Speaker, and ultimately adopted for consideration by both branches of the Le gislature, but which did not pass into law. " I have to offer to you, Mr. Speaker, and to the House, my warmest acknowledgments of the uniform, pleasing, and courteous terms in which your replies have been couched to all my Messages, w hich it has been my duty, as his Majesty's Representative, to submit to you during a most eventful and most interestiqg period. " Mr. President, and Gentlemen of his lilajesty's ; " Ur. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly, " I cannot conceal from Jou . the great disappoint ment I have experienced from the failure of a well grounded hope that some Bill for the Amendment of 'the Slave Laws would have been long ere this enacted. As both branches of the Legislature, immediately after the close of the last Sessiou, honoured me with their separate statements in explanation of the delays which had occurred, and as it has been; is, and ever will be My anxious desire that all the branches of the Legislature should if possible co-operate most cordially Err the public welfare, and as the documents previously alluded to Dave both been transmitted to Earl Bathurst, for his Majesty's information, I shall forbear from making a single com mentlarther than by remarking, it is a very great consolation to me that the sentiments expressed in to h statements lead me again to expect that every exertion will be made for the speedy completion and enactment of a Bill for the amendment, melioration, and consoli dation of the Slave Laws. 'And I now seize, with plea sure and sincerity, this public opportunity to express those sentiments, nyst unequivocally, ss hich have been long felt, but never called forth, that, though cases as exceptions do exist, which under similar circumstances would exist in every other part of the globe, so long as men are imperfect, and their dispositions differ in an innumerable variety of shades from good to vile, yet, after more than three years' constant residence on this Island, it is my firm conviction (as far as it has come within my own observation to judge), that the Slaves, as a body, throughout the Colony, ate uniformly treated with kindne.s, lenity, and liberality ; and to which their general appearance of cheerfulness and happiness may be fairly attributed.

We tried every meant in our power to get him cured, but nothing had any effect till we were recommended to try your Antiscorbetic Drops.

Sir John Macdonald, K.C.B. a Lieutenant-Geteral in the Honourable Company's service, died in Calculla on Sault day last, aged 76. His remains were interred yes terday evening, between five and' six o'clock, attended by his r icellency the Commander-in-Chief, all ihe Ge neral Staff, and a large body of Civilians, who assem• bled to pay the last tribute of respect to one of the oldest Officers of the Honourable Company's set vice in India. There is something in a military funeral so par. titularly solemn and impressive, that callous indeed must that heart be which can witness unriroved a pro cession similar to the one it is our melancholy duty to relate, and few there are, we are sure, who return to their homes without experiencing in full force those awful and serious reflections attending so solemn a duty. Every respect which the Government is ever toady to shew to a long life of Ineritoilaus public• service, Was evinced in the funeral we witnessed ) esterday evening. At about a quarter past five o'clock the Right Hon. the Governor-General's Body . Guard, with its galloper guns, commanded by Captain •Soeyd, together - with all . the European troops in Fort William, the wholecoMmandeil by Lieutenant-Colonel Vaughan, Fort .Major, were drawn up opposite the residence of the late Sir John Macdonald. On the body being brought from the house, the funeral party presented arms, the trumpets of the Body Guard sounding a funeral dirge, the hands playing the Venetian hymn. On the coffin being vlaced in the hearse, the 'party moved off in slow time, flanked by thotisands of natives (many of whom had been par takers in the deceased's charity,) to the burial-place in Park-street. During the procession minute guns la ete fired from the Fort, the trumpets sounded at intervals, 'and the muffled drums beat their solemn rolls, until at at a proper distance from the gate of the burial-ground, when the cavalry and infantry halted, and were formed into a street, through which the corpse was borne. On the coffin being laid in the grave, the gun; of the Body Guard fired 27 rounds, and the infantry three volleys, ending a ceremony as imposing in Appearance as it was awful and solemn in its effect. The following is an extract of a letter from a Ctn tleman at Rangoon, to his friend in Calcutta, dated the 20th of May :—' We were the last ship that left the pilot, which 'we did on the. 196 April,:and at rived at the4o44manapn the 30th; the sixth transport. in the . port. -We' htiii hardy sufficient time to fill up our *ate, by ciatifi g . _ • . . 1 - TO THE WORTHY Ai.irifirokrENDtkT t•ttc 4 Torts OF THE BOROUGH Gir RETFOR D.
