DISSOLUTION OF THE ASSEMBLY. - The Morning
Journal contains the following summary of the impor-
tant events which have occurred in this island since the
la!,,f, mail:—

The last fortnight has witnessed the meeting and
the dissolution of cur Assembly. Readers at a dis-
tance are aware that the sitting of the Legislature
in March terminated unsatisfactorily. The Couscil
had refused to give its assent to the Bill passed by
the Assembly for reducing the salaries of public
officers, and the latter body had declared its want of
confidence in the former. It had further applied to the
Crown for a reform of that board. The council had
also petitioned her Majesty, complaining of the conduct
of the Assembly, and justifying the course it had pur-
sued in reference to the measure in question. Having
received her Majesty's determination upon the question
referred to her by the two branches of the Legislature,
the Governor summoned the House to meet on the 26th
June tor the discharge of business. His speech at the
opening of the session will be found in our impression
of the 26th. To this speech the House replied very
shortly on the 27th. On the following day the Gover-
nor sent down copies of the dispatches from her Ma-
jesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies in reply to
the memorial respecting the Council, and his dis
patches relative to the conduct of the Assem-
bly. These were referred to a special commit-
tee, which made a report on the 3d inst., and subse-
quently passed the following resolution:—
" That as there seems to be no disposition on the part
of her Majesty's Government to afford the reliefs so ur-
gently pra)ed for and demanded by the House and the
people, as set forth in various memorials and petitions;
but, on the contrary, every desire has been evinced to
continue the present extravagant expenditure, which
the impoverished condition of the inhabitants renders it
impossible longer to sustain, the House considers that it
will best cansult the rights and interests of the constitu-
ency by abstaining from any attempt at the fuvh?rhae‘x,e-
ercise of legislative functions, until the peo has beenle
shall

Partial rains have fallen, but dry weather still afflicts
portions of the island, bleating the planter's hopes, and
destroying his best efforts. In the fludit of our distresses,
however, we enjoy peace and quiet; and notwithstanding

have every reason toinsepara expect these will be preserved. we

BRITISH GUIANA.
His Excellency the Governor has succeeded, without
the exercise even of a single vote of his own, in carry-
ing within the last fortnight an estimate for 1849-50,
through the Court of Policy. The estimate having
been framed by the Court of Policy, is after-
wards brought for revision before the Combined
Court. Nor has any difficulty arisen with regard to
the civil list item. The good sense of the majority of
the Court of Policy, we are glad to state, has acquiesced
in the recommendation of the Government to omit that
item altogether from the annual estimate, on which,
indeed, it ought never to have been placed, and to refer
it hereafter in the shape of a distinct memorandum to
the Combined Assembly. The Court of Policy com-
menced with the estimate on the 19th ult., immediately
after the leaving of the last packet, and concluded with
it on Tuesday last, the 3d inst., the day after the present
packet arrived.
During the fortnight, as throughout the greater por-
tion of the present year, the weather has been extremely
wet, proving injurious in all, and highly injurious in
some districts, to the young canes. The same cause,
the humidity of the season, has put a stop almost every-
where to sugar making.

BARBADOES.
The Princess Royal transport was to leave this island
on the afternoon of the 10th ult. with invalids from the
different islands in the Barbados command. The season
at Barbadoes had been one ot tho most productive
known, and would reach to from 33,000 to 35,000 hhds.ever
