THE NEW COUNCIL.
Another Gazette has appeared, and
yet no announcement is made of the
names of the future legislators of the
Province. For this vexatious delav no
reason can be assigned, apart from the
doggedness of Hrr Majesty's repre
sentative, and his determination to
trifle with the public business of the
Colony. ' I have laboured earnestly,'
said his Excellency at the supper ou
Wednesday evening, ' for the benefit
of the Colony, and, when the time
comes, I hope my efforts will be ap
preciated, but it is one of the diffi
culties of my present position, that
until that time arrives, what has been
done can neither be known nor ex
plained.' Sagacious, very ; and espe
cially, as by 'dark sayings' of this
kind, his Excellency is pleased —
' until that time arrive' — to keep us in
suchdoubt. The presentation of the
petition for his recal, which now takes
place in the course of a few days
at farthest, will best show the extent to
which his ' efforts are appreciated.'
