KINGSTON, Thursday, Aug. lO, 1854.
Sir Henry Barky has not yet appointed his Cabinet
and will not until he is officially Informed of the pass
ing of the Loan bill.
The Assembly has been further prOrogued to the
29th August; consequently, unless in of great
emergency the legislative bodies cannot meet till after
that period reason and very good one has been
signed why Sir Henry Barkly will not dissolve the As
semby and insugurate the Constitution with
House. Is is said his Exeeency objects to dis
solution in the present state of the Election Law,
with the present constituency as bad worse set
would be TO be returned. Now, as the present
House naturally expires at the end of the forthcoming
session, the NiastIy that s to be will have to
look sharp and frame law to meet the requirements
of the Governor and every right thinking person in the
community for whether such law is passed or not,
there must be general election in 1855. The ques-
t0D of the franchise is one that will fairly try the
strength Of the Administration, and determine how
far they possess the confidence of the Assembly
say of the Assembly and not Of the people; because
with constituency of 5000 electors all told. in
population of some 400 COO it preposerous TO say
that the Assembly represents the people. This s
state Of tlingc that the Cabinet Will nc doubt GU
deavOr TO remedy There is reason to fear, however
that they will be thvsrted in ts puPo'e ny the A
