(raoM LAST NIGHT'S Gerrit%)
DOWNING-STREET, D. 12.
At the council, held at Windsor, on Monday, the
11th inst., her Majesty was pleased to approve of
the subjoined draft of a commission for the tempo-
rary appointment of Sir Henry Knight Storks,
G.C.8., G.C.M.G., as governor of the island of
Jamaica during the prosecution of certain inquiries
therein mentioned :

Victoria, by the gams of God, of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland, Queen, Defender of the
Faith : To our trusty and well-beloved Sir Henry
Knight Storks, Knight Grand Cross of our
most honourable Order of the Bath, Knight
Grand Cross of oar most distinguished Order of Saint
Michael and Saint George, Governor and Commander-in-
Chief of our Wand of Malta and its dependencies, a major.
general in our army, having the local rank of lieutenant-
general while in command of our troops in Malta sod its
dependencies, greeting. VWliereu we did, by our com-
Milliol2 under the great seal of our United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland, bearing date at Westminster,
the twenty-ninth day of July, one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-four, in the twenty-eight year of our reign,
smoothed* and appoint our trusty and well-beloved
Edward John Eyre, Esquire, to be our captaingeneral and
governor-in-chief in and over oar Island of Jamaica, and the
territories depending thereon, during our will and pleasure,
as by the said recited commission, relation being thereunto
had, may more fully and at large appear. And we did by
our said commission make provision for the government of
our said island in the event of the death, incapseity, or
absence of him, the said Edward John Eyre, but no provi-
sion was therein made for the government of our said
island by any other person than the said Edward John Eyre
during his presence therein. And whereas it is alleged that
great disaffection bath prevailed in our said island, and that
sundry evil disposed persons have concerted the destruction
of other our subjects resident therein. And whereas
grievous disturbances have broken oat in our said
lased, and have been suppressed, and the said
disturbances and suppression have been attended
with great lam of life, sad it is alleged that
excessive and unlawful severity has been used in such
suppression ; and whereas it greatly concerns us that full
and impartial inquiry should be made into the origin, na-
ture, and circumstances of the said disturbances, and with
respect to the measures adopted for the suppression of the
same ; and whereas it may be advisable that the said
Edward John Eyre should be present in our said island
during the whole, or part, of the said inquiry, bat it is re-
quisite for the sufficiency of the said inquiry that the
powers vested in him as governor of our said island should
not be exercised by him while so present therein, but
should during the prosecution of the said inquiry, and for
such further time at may seem to us requisite, be vested in
such other palm as we may think fit. Now know you that
to have revoked and determined, and by these presents do
revoke and determine from and after the time when public
notice hereof shall be given by proclamation or otherwise
in our said island, and thenceforth until we shall think fit to
determine these presents, so much of the said recited Con,-
mission as did constitute and appoint the said Edward John
Eyre to be our captain-general and governor-inchief over
oar said Island of Jana/A& and its dependencies; and further
know you that we, reposing especial trust sod confidence in
the prudence, courage, and loyalty of you the said Sir
Henry Knight Storks, of our especial gram, certain know.
