MEETING OF THE ASSEMBLY.

(From the Southern Cross , Oct. 11.) The Governor has at length made up his mind. After mature deliberation, and communicating with various parties, he has been forced to acknowledge that he cannot form a responsible Ministry which would command the respect, much less the confidence, of the General Assembly. His Excellency tried hard to escape that confession; but it was extorted from him. Ministers, having tendered their resignations for above a week, and in the meantime supplied him with all the information which he said he required to enable him to decide what was best to be done, naturally expected to hear from his Excellency. But Sir George Grey made no sign. He might be meditating some master stroke of policy, which would delight his admirers and overthrow his enemies; or he might be at his wits’ end to know what to do ; but certain it is, that from Friday week until yesterday, the Governor never indicated whether he would accept or decline to receive their tender of resignation. A communication passed from Ministers, however, requesting to know what he meant to do, and. intimating that, unless his Excellency was prepared to nominate their successors, they recommended him to call an early session of the Assembly,—not later than the 15th of November. To this, his Excellency replied, that he was unable to appoint a responsible Ministry, and acceded to Ministers’ request for calling the Assembly together. The Assembly will be summoned, therefore, for the despatch of business, on the 15th of the next mouth.
