W. Hollis, presented the petition prepared at the meeting, and sign ea by a large number of the inhabitants. Hig Excellency promised to give the subject Mi immediate attention, and that he would bare the matter laid before his responsible advisei-s, upon his arrival in Welling, ton. Ws sincerely hope that there may be no unnecessary delay in the settlement of this question.
