Legislative business, the Kingston Journal of the
latest date, says
In impression of the 10th instant we alluded to
the intimation in the Governors speech prorogung
the legislature Of his willingness to call it together
again for the despatch of business IL there should be
any indication which he could rely of disposition
to retrieve advantages then in peril of being abandoned
and lost No such indication has been made and the
Governor satisfied that good could result from the
reassembing of local Parliament has further pro-
rogucd it to Tuesday the 1st day Of May next. The
desire to retrieve advantages ought to have been mani

We mentioned on that occasion that the intimation
was not likely to meet with favorable response
from that majority The opinion has proved correct
Nothing remains therefore, but tho usual prorogaons
from month to month until the decision Of the home
government is known.
The government would do well to instruct our Go
how he is to act for delay under present cir
cumstances will be most injurious to individual in
terests well as to tho interests of the country at
large 1t should also be remembered that the present
may be said to be only the commencement of system
of obstruction, which, if carried on continued will
indeed and in truth ruin the colony. Her Majesty g
ministers, Informed they will be by the Governor OF
the consequence of the present partial soppage of
plies. will perceive the urgent necessity for at
granting the demands Of the parties in the mother
country interested in the estates in this island Of
going to Parliament power to carry OH its govern
ment and to uphold it's institutions.
