BY the Crescent City we have received our files
Of the hingsfon Journals to the 10Th instant There
is no news Of particular interest.
The session Of the Leg islature, which commenced
the 25th Of juno, closed on the I'd instant. The
Journal says the session remarkable for the
good feeling which prevailed among the members.
The immediate cause of assembling at 90 unusual
period Of the year was the imprncticability OF
raising the lonn contemplated by the Of the pre-
vious session, for the purpose Of meeting certain
Island certificates which had become due and would
become due during tho present year. Expecting
that the Home Government would guaranty the
loan proposed to be taken up the interest wac fixed
at four per cent. In the absence Of that guarantee
(thc Secretary Of State for the colonies not feeling
that government could well ask Parliament for it)
there WINS no prospect Of the money being obtained
for obtaining the consent Of the legislature TO the
payment of higher rate, not TO exceed SIR per
cent.
Another measure wns alec parsed to reduce the
security To be given by the Receiver General from
ECO 900 to G40 oO0 niior which the Legislature wa'
prorogucd. One feature which hns been in
irod uced into the fret mentioned billie that il gives
the holder. Of the present Island certificates the
curity Of permanent act for the interest and prin
cipa OF the same whereas heretofore they had only
the security Of annual act for the interest upon
them
MIR. John Wilson, who for many years has filled
the appointment Of deputy postmaster general Of
the island, died on the 81 instsnt.
Some parts of the island are suffering from dry
weather, whilo others have been blessed with CO
pious showers.
The Despaich newspaper has ceased to exist a.
a separate publication, and is now amalgamstcd

This calamity falls upon NE with almost stunning
effect, though we have been experimenting some dis

Thursday night. Our friend and correspondent

her husband and child, removed TO Florence where
they have since lived in retirement. Her spirit,
