An IMPORTANT IMPRovEMENT-We have

ing sections of country in our territory, and
there are also large bodies Of excellent

wish the enterprising projectors abundant
success not only because the accomplish

general prosperity of the country, but also
accommodate, particularly, the settlers now
residing in that region.

R9~ 1t might be very proper to state
that members of the Legislative Assembly
who have a constituency in House or Coun
Gil districts, and who provide themselves
with papers of the Territory, designed tc
be distributed, sometimes do not receive
them at the departure of the mails from
this place. This is not their fault Itmay
arise from the lameness of the mail service
badness of the road, &c, or from the fact
that this paper is not issued in time to be
supplied.

Little business has been transacted in

ding that the time for the election of Ter
