Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of t►e Assembly,—You as.
aw‘re that ween in February Net an art was passed for
raising a loan to pay the Island Loan Certificates ae they
ahoy d fall due there was a confident expectation, in which
I participated, that her Majesty's government might gun•
rantee a considerable portion of the lose, and that the whole
would be raised le Leant. I believe, therefore, that when
you named that first am you did not at all contemplate that
the commissioe appointed to act here were to raise the
money within t►e Wand, bet that it was to be done midst

when we afterwards szperieseed the disappointment of
Our expectations as to the guarantee, and an amend
meet of the act became denteole, I thick, if you had
intended so great and crating a emits° of plan as that
the lean should be raised partly here and partly in London,
you would have expressed it distinctly oe the lace of the
new act, and for the purpose of carrying on those separate
though combined operations you would have made some
clear and practical appointment of donee between the 001111.
missionen in London and the commissioners in Jamaica.
In the absence of any such provisions 1 certainly had re-
tained the impression of its being your meaning that the
whole active:operation for editing the has should is per-
formed by the Londos coramissionees as ancillary to, sad
as acting under, the directions of the board here. A directly
opposite opinion, however, has been formed by several of
the gentlemen who are appointed conjointly with the go-
vernor for the time being to execute the trust, what-
ever it may be, which the act intended to create with-
in this Weed; and I have not the least notion of attributing
any blame whatever to the genii men who so construe the
act ; and am so far from pretending that cry greater weight
ought to be attributed to my judgment than t 3 that of my
associates, that from the first moment of my perceiving the
existence of a difference of opinion. Fj have been anxiens
only to retort to the legislature for a &Maranon of its intim-
tons ; and it has been entirely owing to my reluctance es

remonstrances which have been made against an early eme
lion, that we have not met sooner.
His excellency addressed himself to other topics
of interest; among them "education; and industrial
establishments. The speech was replied to in tem-
perate and very respectful language, and, strange to
say, the address pissed the hones without either
debate or division. The only measure enacted woe a
bill to afford relief to districts suffering from, and
likely to be affected by, the cholera.
An act passed toe legislature authorising the esta-
blishment in the different parishes of local boards of
health, to enact and carry out such sanitary regula-
tions as might be necessary. The expense attendirg

The weather in Kingston during the day wu very
warm indeed; towards night and early in the morn-

health of the country was bad, irrespective of the
cholera.

CITY THOROUGHFARES.—The want of • new

to exert. on. The necessity for alteration on Ludgate hill,
too, where it opine taut St. Paarschurchyard, was seen;
