Legislative Assembly :
In consequence of the temporary
absence of the Lieutenset•Governer,
the Icon. George Airey 10irkpetriok, the
GovernOr•Generel in council has been
pleased to appoiot me administrator of
the Government. After the arrival of

nese. This intelligence was received
throughout the Province with deep re-
gret. I am greatly pleased to be able to
state that his health is improving, and
also to express the hope that he will soon

It is a subject of congratulation that
since your last meeting her Most Gra.
eious Majesty has entered upon, and is
now approaching the oompletion of the
sixtieth year of her fllustrioue reign.
Our interest in the event is enhauced by
the consideration that her reign has been
the longest and happiest, and moat pro-
gressive in the annals of the empire. An
address to Her Majesty upon an event so
gratifying to all her loving subjects in
this Province, and expressive of your
loyalty and attachment, will be snbniit-
ted for your consideration.

idea if the County could set apart a ward

01101 ef1NIN0 INDUSTRY.
I rejoice to know that bhe past year
has been one of growing nativity in min-
ing affairs. Furnaces tor smelting iron,
nickel, and copper ores, and mills for m-
iming and refitting gold ores and for the
treatment of other minerals have bean
steadily operated, The known limits of
the gold -bearing country have boon
widened in different direotions by the
enterprising spirit of prosp0ators, and the
work of developing carried on in several
now localities encourages the hope that
in the year upon which we have entered,
eapital directed by experience will find
useful and profitable employment. In-
deed our province offers to investors, ex-
plorers and miners attraotions scarcely
equalled elsewhere, and I am gratified to
know that the mineral wealth is 081e1v-
ing the earnest attention of our own
people.
Amendments to the mining laws, the
necessity of which have been suggested
by the experience of unusually active
operations 1n the past year, will be sub.
witted for your consideration, and in
other ways you will be asked to give the
mining industry generousencouragemeut.
Your consideration will be asked to 0
measure to set apart certain of the wild
lands of the Crown for the use of the
University of Toronto, the proceeds of
which shall be applied towards making
further provisiou for instruction in
mechanics, engineering, mineralogy and
geology, and for the eucoerugement of
scientific investigations and discoveries in
connection with the undeveloped mineral
resources of this province.

The first day of June next will he the

Parliament of Upper Canada in the

which, in its early history, were i00om•
plate in their organization and limited in
their operations, have been greatly en.
larged and improved under the beneficent
influence of that form of Government
which we so happily enjoy,
LAST TEAR'S HARVEST.
I congratulate you upon lash year's

Judgment hue recently been given by
the Supreme Court of Canada on the
ease submitted between the Governments
of Canada and of, the Provinces, for the

recognized by the Government of Canada,

appeal have been made to her Majesty in
