promote the peace, prosperity, and general wen -being of
the colony, to give stability to its political inetitutMits, to
maintain amongst its people the sentiment of loyalty to
your Majesty's authority, and to preserve this valuable and
wealthy dependency of the crown as an integral portion of
the British empire.
That your memorialists have learnt with deep regret and
concern that his Excellency has tendered to your Majesty
the resignation of his office as governor of this colony.
That your memorialists would moat humbly beg leave to
represent to your Majesty that the withdrawal of his Ex-
cellency Sir Henry Barkly from the governorship of this
colony at the present time would certainly be, in their opi-
nion, a great misfortane, both as regards the interests of the
colony itself and those of the British empire at large.
That your memorialists are deeply convinced that such
step would complicate seriously the internal political affairs
of this colony, imperil its peace, disturb the now universal
sentiment of loyal devotion to your Majesty's authority,
and weaken those bonds of common loyalty and affection
which unite the people of Victoria to their fellow-subjects
throughoat the whole British empire.
That your memorialista therefore, always expressing
their most dutiful obedience to your Majesty, do neverthe-
less, for the reasons Wm* assigned, humbly petition your
Majesty that your Majesty will be pleased not to accept the
resignation of his Excellency Sir Henry Barley, bat to
continue him in his office as governor of the colony of
Victoria for another term of years.
And your memorialist', an in duty bound, will ever pray.

The Governor's Salary Reduction Bill which was
reserved fo: her Majesty's assent has been dis-
allowed, and the resignation of his office, which Sir
Henry Barkly bad tendered, not accepted.

Mr. Howitt and his party had arrived at Ade-
laide with the remains of Burke and Wills, which
were on their way to Melbourne. The remains were
to lie in state in the Royal Society's ball until the
21st of January, when the public funeral would
take place. The remains will be interred in the
General Cemetery. Mr. Summers's design for the
monument to be erected in Melbourne, to comme-
morate their achievements and their fate, has been
accepted.
The discovery of new gold fields in Gipps Land
is adding largely to the extent of the known auri-
ferous land of the colony. Some magnificent quartz
reefs have lately been opened up in Donelly's Creek,
and fresh fields are likely to be discovered all along
the southern slopes of the Dividing Ranges. On the
western side, in the fern-tree gullies, on the head
waters of the Yana, some very promising alluvial
diggings have been made known within the last
few days. They are no more than seventy miles
distant from Melbourne.

Surveys of the country for railway purposes are
progressing in various directions, and are contem-
plated in others. A vote of 5,0001. has been
