longing to Schalhough, and were carried off.
A public meeting was to be held this day at twelve o'clock,
for the purpose of addressing a petition to his Majesty the
King in Council, relative to the present constitution of the
Legislative Council of this colony. The requisition was signed
by 37 gentlemen merchants and others resident in Cape Town,
and was readily acceded to by his Excellency the Governor.
The Port Louis paper contains from the Gazette Extra-
ordinary, August 7, a Government notice, stating that
his Excellency the Governor directs an extract from a dis-
patch from the Right. Hon. E. G. Stanley, Secretary for the
Colonies, dated March 18, 1834, to be made known to the public
it adverts to, for remedying the extreme embarrassment caused
in the Colony by the rejection of the Penal Code, and for
enabling them to form a better organization and more suitable
proceedings before the courts of justice in general. His Ex-
cellency feels much satisfaction in being able to state that the
way in which the inhabitants have received the important mea.
sure for the abolition of slavery has obtained the most flattering
approbation of his Majesty.

not join the Admiriistration.
It is understood that Lord Molyneux, who has
agreed to stand for South Lancashire, and Mr. George Wood,
