Insufficiency of population appears to be your only want, but as I look around I see evidences that you have within yourselves powers which will materially assist in supplying your deficiencies in this respect. lam certain that if people in England knew what a soil and climate you possess, and knowing you live under the same laws as themselves, they would be much less backward in coming to your shores.” The Governor was loudly cheered. About 2000 were present. To-day will be a public holiday. The programme is a procession by day and torchlight, luncheon, and public ball.
