HONORABLE, LEGISLATIVE CoUNCiLr ; LORS AND GENTLEMEN OP THE House op RERi*riKSENTATivES-^----'The state .of the.public business Enables me to relieve you from further attendance in Parliament, • and J /take occasi'-n to thank you for the zeal arid; attention which .have, marked the dis r charge of your onerous duties during the session. Having expressed your, .'satisfaction; at the /completion of the contract for the laying. -of the telegraph Cable between New South Wales and New Zealand, you will, be glad/tp be assured that before the next* session ;of* this ; Assetnbly, the colon j' 1 Will; bp placed in telegraphic connection with : the Australian colonies and with Great Britain. " The'conditiori.s of the contract for the mail steamers via San; Francisco, which you * have ratified, give promise that on this .occasion the permanency and efficiency of that service will be secured. GeNTLEMEM OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES— I thank you for the liberality with which you have, grarited supplies for the current year. They will be ad* ministered 'with, economy and care for the attaininent bf the objects for which they have been voted. The Immigration and Public Works Appropriation Act, to which I have assented on behalf of her Majesty, by giving distinctly a statement of the Immigration and Public Loan accounts, and by showing separately all appropriations chargeable to loans, will render easily intelligible a subject upon which there has been some misapprehension, and with the Public' Revenues Act and the Stamp Duties Act, ; to which I have also assented, will effect a valuable administrative improvement. Honorable Legislative .Councillors' and Gentlemen of the House of Rerpresentatives-— The question relative to the abolition of the provincial form of Government in these islands, which I intimated at tho opening of this session, you would be invited to decide, has been answered by the passing of the Abolition of Provinces Act by large majorities in both Houses of Assembly. I have assented to that Act on behalf of her Majesty. It will be the duty of the Government during the recess to give attention to the consolidation of existing provincial acts or ordinances, to prepare such general laws of a iriunicipal character that will facilitate and render uniform the administrative work, of the local governing bodies now existing, or hereafter to be created in the several provincial districts, so that the constitutional change which is appointed to take place at the close of the first session of the next Parliament may be accomplished with; ease. The readjustment of the representation effected by the Representation Act will meet the altered circumstances of the several electoral divisions in which an increase of the number of members has beeni made. I earnestly trust that under 'the; blessings of Divine* Providence /the. measures*; you "have ahthorised'-in this; session may tend , to prompt* .the ; pro- i gress of this colony, and the welfare of the pseople.
