eity of this letter.

The above is another proof of the great efficacy of this excellent Melt"
rine, which has called forth the gratetbl thanks and approbation of

-ears; they effectually relieve the most acute fit of Gout in a few hours,
isd seldom fail to enable the patient to resume his usual avocation in two
M three days, and if taken on the first symptoms, the patient is ftogoent 1
left in doubt as to the reality of Vie attack. And there is another most
important effect belonging to this Medicine—that it prevents the tiise"e
flying to the brain, stomach, or other vital part.

" the most appropriate mode of perpetuating the respect
and the high estimation in which the late General Sir
Edward Barnes was held in this colony, and of acknowledging
the important services he rendered to Ceylon during his
government, is to erect at Colombo some durable monument
whereon to record our sentiments." The motion was
seconded by Colonel Charlton, and carried unanimously. A
committee was subsequently appointed to carry into effect
the purposes of the meeting by securing the services of Sir
Francis Chantrey, or some other eminent sculptor in
England to execute a suitable monument. The sum of
nearly 2501. was subscribed in the room towards this object,
and a large additional collection was expected both in
Ceylon and in England.
On the 24th of May her Majesty's birthday was cele-
brated at the Government House by a ball and supper on
a magnificent scale. The Governor proposed " The health
of her Majesty," which was received with greet enthusiasm.
After the health of the Duke of Sussex and the other
usual loyal toasts had been drunk, Mr. Jeremie, the Acting
Chief Justice, rose to propose the health of the Governor.
He said that the Governor had alluded in terms which had
been hailed with great delight to the promises of a new and
most probably brilliant reign, but since the last anniversary
a change had also taken place in the direction of affairs in
this important colony. The opinion entertained of the
good qualities of the head and heart which distinguished
his Excellency's predecessor (Sir R. W. Horton), they had
manifested at the time ; and happy was he to find that the
same virtues were also found united in him whose health he
had the honour to propose. In Mr. Stewart Mackenzie
they had found the same unwearied activity, the same
persevering zeal, the same earnest desire to promote the
prosperity and happiness of the island—an island fortunate
beyond example in its succession of Governors.
His Excellency the Governor returned thanks.
Several other toasts were subsequently proposed, and
the day passed in great hilarity and good feeling.
