Sir,—Applications are frequently made by Colonial Officers on leave of absence soliciting Advances of Salary in order to enable them to return to the scene of their duties. The practice of granting Advances of Salary to Public Officers is always inconvenient, but in the case of Officers who have come home on leave it is so peculiarly objectionable that its discontinuance has become necessary. You will make known this decision in the Colony under your Government, in order that Officers coming home on leave may not make their arrangements in expectation of receiving such advances.

THE Governor directs the publication of the following Despatch from Her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies, for general information. By Command. ARTHUR N. BIRCH. Dot oStb 24th September, 1866. Sir,—I transmit to you herewith, at the instance of the Boaird of Trade, copies of a Notice which that Department has cadsed to be prepared, stating the means of Checking and Preventing Scurvy on board of Ships, and I have to request that you will take the necessary measures for the distribution of these Notices amongst the Officers at the Ports of the Colony under your government, for the use of the Masters of Ships. I have, NOTICE TO SHIP OWNERS AND SHIP MASTERS. SEA-SCURW. THE result of the inquiries recently instituted by the Board of Trade in several cases of outbreak of Scurvy in Merchant Ships, in some even where it is manifest that the j Owners have had every desire to provide for the health ofthe crew, leads this Board to believe that the publication of the following means, suggested by the Seaman's Hospital Society, for the prevention and check of this malady, may be attended with advantage:— The Cause of the malady is generally believed to be privation for a considerable length of time of Fresh Vegetables. MEANS FOE PREVENTION. AT SEA. 1. Every ship on a long voyage should be supplied with a proper quantity of Lime or Lemon Juice. The Juice having been received in bulk from the Vendors, should be examined and analysed by a competent Medical Officer. All measures adopted for its preservation are worthless unless it be clearly ascer- i tained that a pure article has been supplied. 10 per cent, of Brandy (S.G. 930) or of Rum (S.G. 890) should afterwards be added to it. It should be packed in Jars or Bottles, each containing 1 Gallon or less, covered with a layer of Oil, and closely packed and sealed. Each man should have at least four ounces (8 table- spoonsful) a week, and should take 'it as part of his . daily food. The quantity should be increased to an ounce daily if any symptoms of scurvy manifest them- The giving out of Lime or Lemon Juice should be immenced with the issue of salt provisions, and should be continued even with fresh meat in harbour when no green or succulent vegetables accompany it. It should certainly not be delayed longer than a fortnight after the vessel has put to sea. 2. Preserved Vegetables; of these Potatoes and Onions are the best; next—Greens, Carrots, Turnips, &c. 3. A plentiful supply of good water. 4. Attention to cleanliness and ventilation, more particularly of the quarters of the crew. IN PORT. A full supply of such Vegetables as may be most easily procured, viz., Potatoes, Greens, Radishes, Watercresses; the latter vegetable is a powerful antiscorbutic and easily procurable. Fruits, as Oranges, jemons, Limes, Shaddocks, &c. It is always well to provide an extra supply of the ibove-mentioned important antiscorbutics in case of m unusually protracted voyage or other contingency. Board of Trade, September 1866.

THE Governor directs the publication of the following Despatch, received from the Secretary of "' ' i, for general information. By Command. ARTHUR N. BIRCH. Vancc Sir, RlSL.4 >, No. 15. 31st October, 1866. time a considerable I have received from time to i number of Despatches and other communications, as noted below, relating to the Constitutions of Vancouver Island and to the Union which has long been proposed between that Colony and British Columbia. In acknowledging them I think it advisable to place on record, in some degree, the motives by which Her Majesty's Government have been actuated in taking steps for the complete Union ofthe Colonies. So long ago as the 15th of June, 1863, I observe that the Duke of Newcastle expressed his conviction that the Colonies 'ought to form one Government. But this course was open to three strong objections : First.—It was opposed to the prevalent feeling on the spot. Secondly.—The formal grant of Representative Institutions was impossible in British Columbia, while they already existed in and could not be withdrawn from Vancouver Island, except by a strong exercise ! of Parliamentary power, or by an intimation on the part of the Colony that it was willing to place itself in the hands of Her Majesty's Government. Thirdly.—The commercial policy of Vancouver Island was opposed to the imposition of Import Duties, on which the Government of British Columbia was obliged to rely for its revenue. But for these objections the Duke of Newcastle considered, and indeed no reasonable person could doubt, that the interests ofthe Colonies, whether in' point of economy or in point of administrative effici- ■equired that they should be consolidated un- e Legis: eando Gover Such were the views of the Home Government in 1863. On the 2nd of March, 1865, the difficulty hitherto existing was disposed of by the Assembly of Vancouver Island, declaring by Resolution that "the immediate Union of this Colony with British Columbia under such constitution as Her Majesty's Government may be pleased to grant is the means best adapted to prevent permanent causes of depression, as well as to^ stimulate trade, foster industry, deVelop our resources, augment our population, and increase our permanent prosperity." Later, on the 13th of December, 1865, the same Assembly "endorsed" these resolutions, but while expressing their preference for Representative Institutions, and apparently for what is called Responsible Government, repeated their conviction that the immediate Union of Vancouver Island and British Columbia was necessary beyond any other measure to impart confidence to the public mind, and to place both Colonies on a prosperous footing. They also referred to the willingness which they had already shown to accept whatever constitution Her Majesty's Government might be pleased to grant. These Addresses, adopted by the Legislature at an interval of nearly a year, must plainly be taken as representing the deliberate opinion of the community in favor of Union even at the sacrifice of their Representative Institutions. And though it is true that certain of the inhabitants of Vancouver Island were evidently opposed to the imposition of import duties in that Island, yet it is evident that if Union was to be effected the imposition or removal of those duties must remain a question for the decision of the United Lpposed that the Assembly Thu: is obvi iseque mlties of c ilidatioi i the part of British C( i wholly | "able objection could Sumbia.

But I have thought it necessary to furnish yon with this explanation of the proceedings of Her Majesty's Government, lest they should be thought to involve any want of consideration for the then exist ing Legislature of Vancouver Island, or should b< attributed to any other motive than the desire to com plete with promptitude an arrangement which I believe to be more in accordance with the main interests of the two Colonies than with their wishes, and fo terminate a state of uncertainty of which I am convinced the mischief is not overstated by the Assembly of Vancouver Island.

TRUTCH, Chief Commissioner of Lands & Works and Surveyor General. Sir, I have received from time to time a considerable number of Despatches and other communications, as ver Island and to the Union which has long been proposed between that Colony and British Columbia. In acknowledging them I think it advisable to place on record, in some degree, the motives by which Hei Majesty's Government have been actuated in taking steps for the complete Union ofthe Coloni So long ago as the loth of June, 1863 that the Duke of Newcastle expressed his conviction that the Colonies ought to form one Government. But this course was open to three strong objections: First.—It was opposed to the prevalent feeling on Secondly.—The formal grant of Representative Institutions was impossible in British Columbia, while they already existed in and could not be withdrawn from Vancouver Island, except by a strong exercise of Parliamentary power, or by an intimation on tbe. part of the Colony that it was willing to place itself in the hands of Her Majesty's Government. Thirdly.—The commercial policy of Vancouver Island was opposed to the imposition of Import Duties, qn which the Government of British Columbia was obliged to rely for its revenue. But for these objections the Duke of Newcastle considered, and indeed no reasonable person could doubt, that the interests of the Colonies, whether in point of economy or in point of administrative efficiency, required that they should be consolidated under one Legislative and one Executive Government. Such were the views of the Home Government in 1863. On the 2nd of March, 1865, the difficulty hitherto existing was disposed of by the Assembly of Vancouver Island, declaring by Resolution that "the immediate Union of this Colony with British Columbia under such constitution as Her Majesty's Government may be pleased to grant is the means best adapted to prevent permanent causes of depression, as well as to; stimulate trade, foster industry, develop our resources, augment our population, and increase our permanent prosperity." " iter, on the 13th of December, 1865, the same smbiy "endorsed" these resolutions, but while •essing their preference for Representative Insti- ms, and apparently for what is called Responsible ernment, repeated their conviction that the immediate Union of Vancouver Island and British Colum- ecessary beyond any other measure to impart confidence to the public mind, and to place both Colo- a prosperous footing. They also referred to the willingness which they had already shown to accept whatever constitution Her Majesty's Government 'ght be pleased to grant. These Addresses, adopted by the Legislature at an terval of nearly a year, must plainly be taken as presenting the deliberate opinion of the community- favor of Onion even at the sacrifice of their Repre- atative Institutions. And though g is true that rtain of the inhabitants of Vancouver Island were idently opposed to the imposition of import duties that Island, yet it is evident that if Union was to be effected the imposition or removal of those duties must remain a question for the decision of the United Legislature. It must be supposed that the Assembly :cepted this obvious consequence of th eir own request. Thus the difficulties of consolidation as far as re- irds Vancouver IslandVere wholly removed, and on i the part of British Columbia.

HAMLEY SPEECH OF HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR, AT OPENING OF LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, ,, New Westminster, January 24th, 1867. j Eonorable Gentlemen of the Legislative Council: I by no means under estimate tne importance of the duty which, devolves on me to-day of practically giving effect to the Legislative Union of > the two British Colonies of the North Pacific. Nor can I avoid feeling the grave responsibility which rests upon me as Governor under the present distribution of power. There is considerable, though I trust temporary, depression existing in several portions ofthe Colony. There are conflicting interests which time alone can reconcile. In all Legislative bodies on the English model, it is the duty of the head of the Executive Government to state the reasons why such Legislative body has been convened into Session, and this I shall proceed to do. But first, it is well that I should lay before | you the Standing Orders for the conduct^ of Public business. They are prepared in obedience to Her Majesty's command, and vary but little from those previously in force. In deference, however, to the wishes of several Members of Council, I have struck out the Order fining Members for non-attendance. L place prominently on the list of the measures which I wish you to pass, Bills of Indemnity to my predecessor in office in Yancouver Island and myself for money expended without an Appropriation Act. The circumstances of the case are sufficiently familiar to all, and I have no doubt but that you will legalise acts of supreme necessity. I shall likewise lay before you a Bill to indemnify me for having omitted to enforce certain provisions ofthe Yancouver Island Stock Act, 1865, and Schedule D of the Harbour Dues Act, 1866. It will be obviously desirable that the Laws of the two sections of the Colony should be assimilated with as little delay as possible. I do not feel competent, at present, to propose this complete amalgamation. That may be left to the next Session. At present, 1 will endeavour to induce you to select from either section such Laws' as may be best suited to the immediate wants of the community at large. The Vancouver Island Bankruptcy Law, and that respecting the Registration of Titles to Land might, I think, with advantage be extended over the whole Colony. From the British Columbia Ordinances I would select for general adoption those enabling Indian evidence to be received in Courts of Justice, the Law for the prevention of the sale of Spirituous Liquors to the Aborigines, and that for the protection of their graves. Then, I would further favorably recommend for your consideration,—the Mining Laws, aa existing ou the main-land, the Postal, Joint Stock, Trustees' Belief, Currency, Game protection Ordinances, and that for the distribution of the Estate of Intestates. These have worked well in British Columbia, and it seems to me that we might beneficially extend their operation. A Bill or Bills for the purpose shall be laid before you. As it is proposed to place the Crown Lands of Vancouver Island under the control of the Legislature of the United Colony, as soon as suitable provision has been made forthePublic Service, I shall lay before you a Bill authorizing the Governor to extend by Proclamation the provisions of the present British Columbia Land Ordinance over the entire Colony, as soon as a satisfactory re-conveyance of the Island from the Hudson's Bay Company to the Crown shall have been made. A Bill shall be laid before you to amend the Act giving certain powers to the Municipality of Victoria. The Estimates of Eevenue and Expenditure are prepared, and shall be laid before you at an early date. I deeply regret tto have to state, what however is well known to you, that the finances of both sections of the Colony were in a very unsatisfactory condition at the time that Union took place. Full information as to our exact position shall be laid before you, and I think you will agree with me, without examining into the question as to which of the two late Colonies most required the support of the other, that Union and the consequent large reduction of expenditure came none to soon. But gloomy as our present position may be, I think we can look to the future with confidence if we work faithfully together for the public good, merging as far as may be all sectional or localTTnterests in a desire to promote the general welfare. The Estimates are prepared to meet the present condition of things. They will be found, in the aggregate, to apply for a smaller sum than has for some years past been voted for the service of THE GOVERNMENT GAZETTE. [Janttaey 26th, 1867- the main-land alone. As a general rule, with one exception, to which I shall presently refer, all salaries have been reduced from my own downwards. Though I, for one, do not find labour, responsibility, or expenditure diminished by the Union of the Colonies. Other Public Officers whose salaries are guaranteed to them by law have cheerfully consented to submit to a temporary deprivation in the desire to help the Colony in its present emergency. The exception to which I refer is that of the Judicial Department. It is obviously desirable to avoid any discussion between the Executive Government and the Judges in regard to the emoluments of the latter. While deeply regretting the reductions that I am compelled to make, I must place on record, in the most public manner, my opinion that the great majority of the Public Servants who now suffer are fully entitled to salaries such as they drew last year. I trust that we may regard thi present one as of exceptional embarrassment, and that better times may soon lead to a more satif factory Appropriation Act. It is to the amalgi mation, however, of offices rather than to th reduction af salaries that we must look for ov future economy, and I shall earnestly recommend to the Secretary of State the removal to other Colonies of some of our Public Office] case of those Gentlemen who, through no fault of their own, lost office on the day of Union, shall likewise be brought under the same consideration. You will find from the Estimates that I do nol propose to undertake any Public Work of magnitude during the year. None are in progress on the main-land; one of secondary importance and moderate expense on the Island approach pletion. The more pleasing task of improvement must be left for another year. It will be sufficient if for the present we keep our great Eoad System in repair. I shall be glad if you will expn opinion on two points of importance. What is to be done with the Dredging Machine now-lying ' Victoria Harbour, and the Steam Vessel built in connexion with it? Do you consider it desirable to keep up a Government Assay Office ? On this latter question I cannot act without the sanction of the Secretary of State. The Department was constituted in England, at the request ofthe Colony, and has principally been managed by directions from the Lords of Her Majesty's Treasury. I musl further await a decision as to the disposal of the Public Officers who conduct the Department. Selected at home and proceeding to the Colony on the faith of permanent employment, having always admirably conducted the business of the office, I cannot imagine that they will be losers by any opinion you may express. Great as is the present temporary financial "" barrassment, justice requires the abolition of £ of the taxation still .existing in the late Colony of ■Vancouver Island. The Real Estate Tax repealed, and the whole taxation assimilated throughout the Colony. Bills having these obji in view shall be laid before you early in the Session. The Customs Act requires re-consideration. A Bill to amend it shall be laid before you. Such are the principal measures which the Government proposes to introduce during the present Session. I feel that I have called you together somewhat late in the season; and as there are many matters of yital importance to be dealt with, I will not impede your progress by any measure which can be deferred. The Standing Orders, however, provide for the initiation of Bills by any Member of Council who mayTbe desirous I shall address you, by Message, on the subject of Education and a few other topics of importance iring the course of the Session. One of these .11 probably be as to the cause of the selection made for the Seat of Government of the United Colony. Up to within a few hours of meeting you, I had not the intention of touching upon it, but I am informed that the question creates an amount of interest which I cannot comprehend, but which appears to me a sign of great local depression. I shall address you on the subject by Mfpage. low, before leaving you, let me express my confidence that better days are yet in store for us. The heavy cloud of adversity which hangs the South lightens as we proceed Northward, no winter has yet seen a more numerous and contented Mining population than that which is w working on our Gold Creeks. I shall watch with much interest your proceedings in the Session I open to-day. Grave and mportant duties are confided to our hands, and I irmly believe that they will be fairly dealt with. Trusting that the blessing ofthe Almighty may •est upon the efforts we are about to make to promote the welfare of the magnificent territory He has temporarily committed to our charge, I e you to your deliberations. \%tt#xtmz dj|ourt In the Supreme Court of Civil Justice of British Columbia. directed to the 2nd s "No person sh ,11 act as Attorney o "solicit, or defend any action, suit, or other proceeding, in any Court of law or equity, in the name of "any other person, without being himself qualified "as an Attorney or Solicitor, and on the roll at the " time of acting in such capacity."

Honorable Gentlemen ofthe Legislative Council: I by no means tinder estimate the importance of the duty which devolves on me to-day of practically giving effect to the Legislative Union of the two British Colonies of the North Pacific. Nor can I avoid feeling the grave responsibility which rests upon me as Governor under the present distribution of power. There is considerable, though I trust temporary, depression existing in several portions ofthe Colony. There are conflicting interests which time alone can reconcile. In all Legislative bodies on the English model, it is the duty of the head of the Execlltive Government to state the reasons why such Legislative body has been convened into Session, and this I shall proceed to do. But first, it is well that I should lay before you the Standing Orders for the conduct of Public business. They are prepared in obedience to Her Majesty's command, and *vary but little from those previously in force. In deference, however, to the wishes of several Members of Council, I have struck out the Order fining Members for non-attendance. I place prominently on the list ofthe measures which I wish you to pass, Bills of Indemnity to my predecessor in office in Vancouver Island and myself for money expended without an Appropriation Act. The circumstances of the case are sufficiently familiar to all, and I have no doubt but that you will legalise acts' of supreme necessity. I shall likewise lay before you a Bill to indemnify me for having omitted to enforce certain provisions ofthe Vancouver Island Stock Act, 1865, and Schedule D of the Harbour Dues Act, 1866. It will be obviously desirable that the Laws1 of the two sections of the Colony should be assimilated with as little delay as possible. I do not feel competent, at present, to propose this complete amalgamation. That may be left to the next Session. At present, I will endeavour to induce you to select from either section such Laws as may be best suited to the immediate ' wants of the community at large. The Vancouver Island Bankruptcy Law, and that respecting the Registration of Titles to Land might, I think, with advantage be extended over the whole Colony. From the British Columbia Ordinances I would select for general adoption those enabling Indiah evidence to be received in Courts of Justice, the Law for the prevention of the sale of Spirituous Liquors to the Aborigines, and that for the protection of their graves. Then, I would further favorably recommend for your consideration,—the Mining Laws as existing on the main-land, the Postal, Joint Stock, Trustees' Belief, Currency, Game protection Ordinances, and that for the distribution of the Estate of Intestates. These have worked well in British Columbia, and it seems to me that we might beneficially extend their operation. A Bill or Bills for the purpose shall be laid before you. As it is proposed to place the Crown Lands of Vancouver Island under the control of the Legislature of the United Colony, as soon as suitable provision has been made for the Public Service, I shall lay before you a Bill authorizing the Governor to extend by Proclamation the provisions of the present British Columbia Land Ordinance over the entire Colony, as soon as a satisfactory re-conveyance of the Island from the Hudson's Bay Company to the Crown shall have been made. A Bill shall be laid before you to amend the Act giving certain powers to the Municipality of Victoria. The Estimate's of Eevenue and Expenditure are prepared, and shall be laid before you at an early date. I deeply regret tto have to state, what however is well known to you, that the finances of both sections of the Colony were in a very unsatisfactory condition at the time that Union took place. Full information as to our exact position shall be laid before you, and I think you will agree with me, without examining into the question as to which of the two late Colonies most required the support of the other, that Union and the consequent large reduction of expenditure came none to soon. But gloomy as our present position may be, I think we can look to the future with confidence if we work faithfully together for the public good, merging as far as may be all sectional or local interests in a desire to promote the general welfare. The Estimates are prepared to meet the present condition of things. They will be found, in the aggregate, to apply for a smaller sum than has for some years past been voted for the service of THE GOVEENMENT GAZETTE. [February 2nd, 1867- the main-land alone. As a general rule, with one exception, to which I shall presently refer, all salaries have been .reduced from my own downwards. Though I, for one, do not find labour, responsibility, or expenditure diminished by the Union of the Colonies. Other Public Officers whose salaries are guaranteed to them by law have cheerfully consented to submit to a „. temporary deprivation in the desire to help the Colony in its present emergency. The exception to which I refer is that of the JudiciaJ Department. It is obviously desirable to avoid any discussion between the Executive Government and the Judges in regard to the emoluments of the latter. While deeply regretting the reductions that I am compelled to make, I must place on record; ' the most public manner, my opinion that the great majority of the Public Servants who now suffer are fully entitled to salaries such as they drew last year. I trust that we may regard the present one as of exceptional embarrassment, and that better times may soon lead to a more satisfactory Appropriation Act. It is to the amalgamation, however, of offices rather than to the reduction af salaries that we must look for our future economy, and I shall earnestly recommend to the Secretary of State the removal to other Colonies of some of our Public Officers. The case of those Gentlemen who, through no fault of their own, lost office on the day cf Union, shali likewise be brought under the same c sideration. You will find from the Estimates that I do propose to undertake any Public Work of ms_ tude during the year. None are in progress on main-land; one of secondary importance ; moderate expense on the Island approaches cc pletion. The more pleasing task" of improvem must be left for another year. It will be suffici if for the present we keep our great Eoad System in repair. I shall be glad if you will express opinion on two points of importance. What is to be done with the Dredging Machine now lying ' Victoria Harbour, and the Steam Vessel built connexion with it? Do you consider it desirable to keep up a Government Assay Office? On this latter question I cannot act without the sanction of the Secretary of State. The Department was constituted in England, at the request ofthe Colony, . and has principally been managed by directions from the Lords of Her Majesty's Treasury. I must further await a decision as to the disposal of the Public Officers who conduct the Department. Selected at home and proceeding to the Colony on the faith of permanent employment, having always admirably conducted the business of the office, I cannot imagine that they will be losers by any opinion you may express. Great as is the present temporary financial embarrassment, justice requires the abolition of somi of the taxation still existing in the late Colony o Vancouver Island. The Real Estate Tax must bi repealed, and the whole taxation assimilated throughout the Colony. Bills having these objects in view shall be laid before you early in th( The Customs Act requires re-consideration A Bill to amend it shall be laid before you. Such are the principal measures which the Government proposes to introduce durin present Session. I feel that I have called y gether somewhat late in the season; and as there are .many matters of vital importance to be dealt with, I will not impede your progress by any measure which can be deferred. The Standing Orders, however, provide for the initiation of Bills by any Member of Council who may be desirous of doing so. I shall address you, by Message, on the subject of Education and a few other topics of importance [.ring the course of the Session. One of these II probably be as to the cause of the selection made for 'the Seat of Government of the United Colony. Up to within a few hours of meeting you, I had not the intention of touching upon it, but I am informed that the question creates an amount of interest which I cannot comprehend, but which appears to me a sign of great local depression. I shall address you on the subject by Message. And now, before leaving you, let me express my confidence that better days are yet in store for The heavy cloud of adversity which hangs the South lightens as we proceed Northward, no winter has yet seen a more numerous and contented Mining population than that which is w working on our Gold Creeks. I shall watch with much interest your proceedings in the Session I open to-day. Grave and important duties are confided to our hands, and I " ly believe that they will be fairly dealt with, sting that the blessing ofthe Almighty may upon the efforts we are about to make to note the welfare of the magnificent territory has temporarily committed to our charge, I leave you to your deliberations. EEPLY OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. To His Excellency Frederick Seymour, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of British Columbia and its Dependencies, Vice-Admiral of the same, &e, &c, &c. May it phase Tour Excellency: - We, Her Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Legislative Council of British Columbia, have received with pleasure the Speech with which you have honoured us. We are fully sensible of the arduous and important duties devolving upon Your Excellency at this critical period in the history of the Colony, and we shftll not fail on our part to render every assistance in carrying out all measures calculated to promote the public welfare. The Acts of Indemnity referred to by Your Excellency, and the Bills amalgamating the Laws of the Colony, shall receive our most favourable consideration. We are gratified to learn that the Crown Lands of Vancouver Island are to be placed under the control of the Legislature. We trust that the reconveyance of the Island will be consummated with as little delay as possible, and that it will be followed by a general Land system so liberal as to encourage immigration and settlement, and to foster our agricultural interests. Conscious of the financial embarrassment of the Colony, we learn with satisfaction that Your Excellency has caused the Estimates to be prepared with the strictest economy compatible with the efficiency of the Public Service. Your Excellency having drawn the particular attention of the Council to the Assay Office, and to the Dredging. Machine and Steamer, we venture to assure you of the earnest consideration with which these subjects shall be treated by the Council. We desire to express our entire concurrence in the proposed measures for the repeal of the Real i , 1867.] THE GOVERNMENT GAZETTE. Estate Tax in Vancouver Island, and for the assimilation of Taxation throughout the Colony. We shall look forward with anxiety to thei Messages which Your Excellency has been pleased to promise ns, upon the important subjects of Education and the Seat of Government. "ties which rest upon us in the discharge of ourl I duties during the ensuingSession,and we beg to| assure Your Excellency that the task imp upon us will be cheerfully undertaken, that the] interests confided to us will be carefully guarded, and that in the promotion of all measures conducive to the advancement and prosperity of the Colony Your Excellency will meet with our most| cordial co-operation. With Your Excellency also, we venture to hope that the days of depression may soon pass away, and we confidently look forward to the wisdom of Your Excellency's administration, to stimulate industry, restore confidence, and dispel the present gloom, per- L fectly trusting that under the guidance of Divine Providence Your Excellency's efforts may be crowned with success.

Kamloops and Shuswap Indian Reserves THE Officer Administering the Government desir it to be notified that the claims ofthe Kamloops and Shuswap Indian Tribes to the tract of land extending for over forty miles along the right bank of the South Branch of Thompson River, from Kamloops to the Great Shuswap Lake, have been adjusted, anc" three portions thereof appropriated as reserves for thi use of these tribes, viz:— For the gamloops Tribe—A tract of land, threi miles square, at the junction of the North and South Branches of Thompson River, extending three mil - up each branch from the point of their intersection. For the Shuswap Tribe—Two tracts of land.

W. HAMLET SPEECH OP HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR, AT OPENING OF LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, New Westminster, January 24th, 1867. j Honorable Gentlemen ofthe Legislative Council: I by no means under estimate the importance of the duty which devolves on me to-day of practically giving effect to the Legislative Union of the two British Colonies of the North Pacific. Nor can I avoid feeling the grave responsibility which rests upon me as Governor under the present distribution of power. There is considerable, though I trust temporary, depression existing in several portions ofthe Colony. There are conflicting interests which time alone can In all Legislative bodies on the English model, it is the duty of the head of the Executive Government to state the reasons why such Legislative body has been convened into Session, and this I shall proceed to do. But first, it is well that I should lay before you the Standing Orders for the conduct of Public business. They are prepared in obedience to Her Majesty's command, and vary but little from those previously in force. In deference, however, to the wishes of several Members-of Council, I have struck out the Order fining Members for non-attendance. I place prominently on the list of the measures which I wish you to pass, Bills of Indemnity to my predecessor in office in Vancouver Island and myself for money expended without an Appropriation Act. The circumstances of the case are sufficiently familiar to all, and I have no doubt but that you will legalise acts of supreme necessity. I shall likewise lay before you a Bill to indemnify me for having omitted to enforce certain provisions of the Vancouver Island Stock Act, 1865, and Schedule D of the Harbour Dues Act, 1866. It will be obviously desirable that the Laws of the two sections of the Colony should be ass lated with as little delay as possible. I do not feel competent, at present, to propose this complete amalgamation. That may be left to the next Session. At present, 1 will endeavour to induce you to select from either section such Laws as may be best suited to the immediate wants of the community at large. The Vancouver Island Bankruptcy Law, and that respecting the Eegistration of Titles to Land might, I think, with advantage be extended over the whole Colony. From the British Columbia Ordinances I would select for general adoption those labling Indian evidence to be received in Courts of Justice, the Law for the prevention of the sale of Spirituous Liquors to the Aborigines, and that for the protection of their graves. Then, I would further favorably recommend r your consideration,—the Mining Laws as existing on the main-land,, the Postal, Joint Stock, Trustees' Belief,- Currency, Game protection Ordinances, and that for the distribution of the Estate of Intestates. These have worked well in British Columbia, and it seems to me that we might beneficially extend their operation. A Bill or Bills for the purpose shall be laid before you. As it is proposed to place^the Crown Lands of Vancouver Island under the control of the Legislature of the United Colony, as soon as suitable provision has been made for the Public Service,, I shall lay before you a Bill authorizing the Governor to extend by Proclamation the provisions of the present British Columbia Land Ordinance over the entire Colony, as soon as a satisfactory re-conveyance of the Island from the Hudson's Bay Company to the Crown shall have been mads. A Bill shall be laid before you' to amend the Act giving certain powers to the Municipality of Victoria. The Estimates of Eevenue and Expenditure are prepared, and shall be laid before you at an early date. I deeply regret kto have to state, what however is well known to you, that the finances of both sections of the Colony were in a very unsatisfactory condition at the time that Union took place. Full information as to our exact position shall be laid before, you, and I think you will agree with me, without examining into the question as to which of the two late Colonies most required the support of the other, that Union and the consequent large reduction of expenditure came none to soon. But £ as our present position may be, I think i look to the future with confidence if we work faithfully together for the public good, merging as far as may be all sectional or local interests in a desire to promote the general welfare. The Estimates are prepared to meet the present condition of things. They will be found, in the aggregate, to apply for a smaller sum than has for some years past been voted for the service of THE GOVEENMENT GAZETTE. [February 9th, j the imain-Iand alone. As a general rule, with one exception, to which I shall presently refer, all salaries have been reduced from my own downwards. Though I, for one, do not find labour, responsibility, or expenditure diminished by the Union of the Colonies. Other Public Officers whose salaries are guaranteed to them by law have cheerfully consented to submit to a temporary deprivation in the desire to help the Colony in its present emergency. The exception to which I refer is that of the Judicial Department. It is obviously desirable to avoid any discussion between the Executive Government and the Judges in regard to the emoluments of the latter. While deeply regretting the reductions that I am compelled to make, I must place on record, in the most public manner, my opinion that the great majority of the Public Servants who now suffer are fully entitled to salaries such as they drew last year. I trust that we may regard thi present one as of exceptional embarrassment, and that better times may soon lead to a more satisfactory Appropriation Act. It is to the amalgamation, however, of offices rather than to the reduction af salaries that we must look for future economy, and I shall earnestly recommend to the Secretary of State the removal to other Colonies of some of our Public Officers. The case of those Gentlemen who, through no fault of their own, lost office on the day of Union shall likewise be brought under the same con sideration. You will find from the Estimates that I do not propose to undertake* any Public Work of magnitude during the year. None are in progress on the main-land; one of secondary importance and moderate expense on the Island approaches completion. The more pleasing task of improvement must be left for another year. It will be sufficient if for the present we keep our great Road Sysf in repair. I shall be glad if you will express opinion on two points of importance. What is to be done with the Dredging Machine now lying ii Victoria Harbour, and the Steam Vessel built i: connexion with it? Do you consider it desirabl to keep up a Government Assay Office? On this latter question I cannot act without the sanction of the Secretary of State. The Department was constituted in England, at the request ofthe Colony, and has principally been managed by directions from the Lords of fier Majesty's Treasury. I must further await a decision as to the disposal of the Public Officers who conduct the Departme Selected at home and proceeding to the Colony the faith of permanent employment, having always admirably conducted the business of the office, I cannot imagine that they will be losers by any opinion you may express. Great as is the present temporary financial barrassment, justice requires the abolition of s of the taxation still existing in the late Colony of Vancouver Island. The Real Estate Tax must repealed, and the whole taxation assimilated throughout the Colony. Bills having these objects in view shall be laid before you early Session. The Customs Act requires re-consideration. A Bill to amend it shall be laid before you. Such are the principal measures which the Government proposes to introduce during the present Session. I feel that I have called you gether somewhat late in the season; and as there are many matters of vital importance to be dealt with, I will not impede your progress by any measure which can be deferred. The Standing Orders, however, provide for the initiation of Bills by any Member of Council who may be desirous of doing so. I shall address you, by Message, on the subject of Education and a few other topics of importance during the course of the Session. One of these will probably be as to the cause of the selection made for the Seat ■ of Government of the United Colony. Up to within a few hours of meeting you, I had not the intention of touching upon it, but I am informed that the question creates.an amount of interest which I cannot comprehend, but which appears to me a sign of great local depression. I shall address you on the subject by Message. And now, before leaving you, let me express my confidence that better days are yet in store for The heavy cloud of adversity which hangs the South lightens as we proceed Northward, no winter has yet seen a more numerous and contented Mining population than that which is working on our Gold Creeks, shall watch with much interest your proceedings in the Session I open to-day. Grave and important duties are confided to our hands, and I firmly believe that they will be fairly dealt .with. ~ 'listing that the blessing of the Almighty may rest upon the efforts we are about to make to the welfare of the magnificent territory He has temporarily committed to our charge, I now leave you to your deliberations. EEPLY OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. To His Excellency Frederick Seymour, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of British Columbia and its Dependencies, Vice-Admiral of the same, &o, &c, &c. May it please Your Excellency: We, Her Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Legislative Council of British Columbia, have received with pleasure the Speech with which you have honoured us. We are fully sensible of the arduous and important duties devolving upon Your Excellency at this critical peried in the history of the Colony, and we shall not fail on our part to render every assistance in carrying out all measures calculated to promote the public welfare. The Acts of Indemnity referred to by Your Excellency, and the Bills amalgamating the Laws of the Colony, shall receive our most favourable consideration. We are gratified to learn that the Crown Lands of Vancouver Island are to be placed under the control of the Legislature. We trust that the reconveyance of the Island will be consummated with as little delay as possible, and that it will be followed by a general Land system so liberal as to encourage immigration and settlement, and to foster our agricultural interests. Conscious of the financial embarrassment of the Colony, we learn with satisfaction that Your Excellency has caused the Estimates to be prepared with the strictest economy compatible with the efficiency of the Public Service. Your Excellency having drawn the particular attention of the Council to the Assay Office, and to the Dredging Machine and Steamer, we venture to assure you of the earnest consideration with which these subjects shall be treated by the Council. We desire to express our entire concurrence in the proposed measures for the repeal of the Eeal February 9th, 1867.] THE GOVEENMENT GAZETTE. •Estate Tax in Vancouver Island, and for the assimilation of Taxation throughout the Colony. We shall look forward with anxiety to the Messages which Your Excellency has been pleased to promise us, upon the important subjects of Education and the Seat of Government. We are fully alive to the serious responsibilities which rest upon us in the discharge of our duties during the ensuing Session, and we beg to assure Your Excellency that the task imposed upon us will be cheerfully undertaken, that the interests confided to us will be carefully guarded, and that in the promotion of all measures conducive to the advancement and prosperity of the Colony Your Excellency will meet with our most cordial co-operation. With Your Excellency also, we venture to hope that the days of depn sion may soon pass away, and we confidently look forward to the wisdom of Your Excellency's administration, to stimulate industry, restore confidence, and dispel the present gloom, perfectly trusting that under the guidance of Divine Providence Your Excellency's efforts may be crowned with success.

HAMLEY SPEECH OP HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR, AT OPENING OF LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, New Westminster, January 24th, 1867. Honorable Gentlemen ofthe Legislative Council^, I by no means under estimate the importance of the duty which devolves on me to-day of practically giving effect to the Legislative Union of the two British Colonies of the North Pacific. ' Nor can I avoid feeling the grave responsibility which rests upon me as Governor under the present distribution of power. There is considerable, though I trust temporary, depression existing in several portions ofthe Colony. There are conflicting interests which time alone can In all Legislative bodies on the English model, it is the duty of the head of the Executive Government to state the reasons why such Legislative body has been convened into Session, and this I shall proceed to do. But first, it is well that I should lay before you the Standing Orders for the conduct of Public business. They are prepared In obedience to Her Majesty's command, and vary but little from those previously in force. In deference, however, to the wishes of several Members of Council, I have struck out the Order fining Members for non-attendance. I place prominently on the list of the measures which I wish you to pass, Bills of Indemnity to my predecessor in office in Vancouver Island and myself for money expended without an ' Appropriation Act. The circumstances of the case are sufficiently familiar to all, and I have no doubt but that you will legalise acts of supreme necessity. I shall likewise lay before you a Bill to indemnify me for having omitted to enforce certain provisions ofthe Vancouver Island Stock Act, 1865, and Schedule D ofthe Harbour Dues Act, 1866. It will be obviously desirable that the Laws of the two sections of the Colony should be assimilated with as little delay as possible. I do not feel competent, at present, to propose this complete amalgamation. That may be left to the next Session. At present, 1 will endeavour to induce you to select from either section such Laws as may be best suited to the immediate wants of the community at large. The Vancouver Island Bankruptcy Law, and that respecting the Eegistration of Titles to Land might, I think, with advantage be extended over the whole Colony. From the British Columbia Ordinances I would select for general adoption those enabling Indian evidence to be received in Courts of Justice, the Law for the prevention of the sale of Spirituous Liquors to the Aborigines, and that for the protection of their graves. Then, I would further favorably recommend for your consideration,—the Mining Laws as existing on the main-land, the Postal, Joint Stock, Trustees' Belief, Currency, Game protection Ordinances, and that for the distribution of the Estate of Intestates. These have worked well in British Columbia, and it seems to me that we might beneficially extend their operation. A Bill or Bills for the purpose shall be laid before you. As it is proposed to place^the Crown Lands of Vancouver Island under the control of the Legislature of the United Colony, as soon as suitable provision has been made for the Public Service, I shall lay before you a Bill authorizing the Governor to extend by Proclamation the provisions of the present British Columbia Land Ordinance over the entire Colony, as soon as a satisfactory re-conveyance of the Island from the Hudson's Bay Company to the Crown shall have been made. A Bill shall be laid before you to amend the Act giving certain powers to the Municipality of Victoria. The Estimates of Eevenue and Expenditure are prepared, and shall be laid before you at an early date. I deeply regret to have to state, what however is well known to you, that the finances of both sections of the Colony were in a very unsatisfactory gondition at the time that Union took place. Full information as to our exact position shall be laid before- you, and I think you will agree with me, without examining into the question as to which of the two late Colonies most required the support of the other, that Union and the consequent large reduction of expenditure came none to soon. But gloomy as our present position may be, I think we can look to the future with confidence if we work faithfully together for the public good, merging as far as may be all sectional or local interests in a desire to promote the general welfare. The Estimates are prepared to meet the present condition of things. They will be found, in the aggregate, to apply for a smaller sum than has for some years past been voted for the service of THE GOVEENMENT GAZETTE. [February 16th, 1867- the main-land alone. As a general rule, with one exception, to which I shall presently refer, all salaries have been reduced from my own downwards. Though I, for one, do not find labour, responsibility, or expenditure diminished by the Union of the Colonies. Other Public Officers whose salaries are guaranteed to them by law have cheerfully consented to submit to a temporary deprivation in the desire to help the Colony in its present emergency. The exception to which I refer is that of the Judicial Department. It is obviously desirable to avoid any discussion between the Executive Government and the Judges iu regard to the emoluments of the latter. While deeply regretting the reductions that I am compelled to make, I must place on record, in the most public manner, my opinion that the great majority of the Public Servants who suffer are fully entitled to salaries such as they drew last year. I trust that we may regard the present one as of exceptional embarrassment, and that better times may soon lead to a more satisfactory Appropriation Act. It is to the amalgamation, however, of offices rather than to thf reduction af salaries that we must look for our future economy, and I shall earnestly recommend to the Secretary of State the removal to •other Colonies of some of our Public Officers. Th< case of those Gentlemen who, through no fault of their own, lost office on the day of Union, shall likewise be brought under the same consideration. You will find from the Estimates that I do not propose to undertake any Public Work of tude during the year. None are in progress on the main-land; one of secondary importance moderate expense on the Island approaches pletion. The more pleasing task of improvement must be left for another year. It will be sufficient if for the present we keep our great Eoad System in repair. I shall be glad if you will express ai opinion on two points of importance. What is t( be done with the Dredging Machine now lying ii Victoria Harbour, and the Steam Vessel built ii connexion with it? Do you consider it desirabli to keep up a.Government Assay Office? On thi latter question I cannot act without the sanctioi of the Secretary of State. The Department wa constituted in England, at the request ofthe Colony, and has principally been managed by directions from the Lords of Her Majesty's Treasury. I must further await a decision as to the disposal of the Public Officers who conduct the Department. Selected at home and proceeding to the Colony on the faith of permanent employment, having always^ admirably conducted the business of the office,'I cannot imagine that they will be losers by any opinion you may express. Great as is the present temporary financial barrassment, justice requires the abolition of e of the taxation still existing in the late Colony of Vancouver Island. The Real Estate Tax must be repealed, and the whole taxation assimilated throughout the Colony. Bills having these bbji in view shall be laid before you early in Session. 1 The Customs Act requires re-consideration. A Bill to amend it shall be laid before yc Such are the principal measures which the Government proposes to introduce during the present Session. I feel that I have called you gether somewhat late in the season; and as there are many matters of vital importance to be dealt with, I will not impede your progress by any measure which can be deferred. The Standing Orders, however, provide for the initiation of Bi" by any Member of Council who may be desirous of doing so. I shall address you, by Message, on the subject of Education and a few other topics of importance ig the course of the Session. One of these probably be as to the cause of the selection made for the Seat of Government of the United Colony. Up to within a few hours of meeting you, I had not the intention of touching upon it, but I am informed that the question creates an amount of interest which I cannot comprehend, but which appears to me a sign of great local depression. I shall address you on the subject by Message. And now, before leaving you, let me express my confidence that better days are yet in store for The heavy cloud of adversity which hangs the South lightens as we proceed Northward, no winter has yet seen a more numerous and contented Mining population than that which is w working on our Gold Creeks. I shall watch with much interest your proceedings in the Session I open to-day. Grave and iportant duties are confided to our hands, and I firmly believe that they will be fairly dealt with. ~ :usting that the blessing of the Almighty may rest upon the efforts we are about to make to promote the welfare of the magnificent territory He has temporarily committed to our charge, I leave you to your deliberations. EEPLY OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. To His Excellency Frederick Seymour, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of British Columbia and its Dependencies, Vice-Admiral of the same, &C,, &c, &c. May it please Your Excellency: We, Her Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Legislative Council of British Columbia, have received with pleasure the Speech with which you have honoured us. We are fully sensible of the arduous and important duties devolving upon Your Excellency at this critical peried in the history of the Colony, and we shall not fail on our part to render every assistance in carrying out all measures calculated to promote the public welfare. The Acts of Indemnity referred to by Your Excellency, and the Bills amalgamating the Laws of the Colony, shall receive our most favourable consideration. We are gratified to learn that the Crown Lands of Vancouver Island are to be placed under the control of the Legislature. We trust that the reconveyance of the Island will be consummated with as little delay as possible, and that it will be followed by a general Land system so liberal as to encourage immigration and settlement, and to foster our agricultural interests. Conscious of the financial embarrassment of the Colony, we learn with satisfaction that Your Excellency has .caused the Estimates to-be prepared with the strictest economy compatible with the efficiency of the Public Service. Your Excellency having drawn the particular attention of the Council to the Assay Office, and to the Dredging Machine and Steamer, we venture to assure you of the earnest consideration with which these subjects shall be treated by the Council. We desire to express our entire concurrence in the proposed measures for the repeal of the Eeal THE GOVERNMENT GAZETTE. BANKRUPTCY NOTICE.

Honorable Gentlemen ofthe Legislative Council: It is with great pleasure that I find myself enabled to-day to relieve you from further attendance upon your Legislative duties. I acknowledge, with thankfulness, the care and candour you have bestowed upon all matters which have been brought under your consideration. You have been informed by message that I have assented to nearly all the Bills which have been sent to me. I have now to add to our Statute Book the following Ordinances which, in Her Majesty's name, I have allowed :— The Indian Liquor Bill, Harbour Regulations Bill, Marriage Bill, and those relating to Aliens, to the Gold Mining Districts, to the Excise Law, to Currency, to the Harbour Dues and Coasting Licences, to that extending the time granted to the Harewood Coal Company, to the Bill relating to Pilotage, to that respecting Ports of Entry, to the Repeal of the Real Estate Tax of Vancouver Island, to the Bills affecting the Medical Profession and the Postal Service, to the Supply Bill for Vancouver Island, and the Supplemental Supply Bill for the Mainland. I preserve [for the signification of Her Majesty's pleasure the proposed Ordinance respecting the disposal of the Crown Lands. I shall transmit with it the Resolution passed by the] Council in favour of a system of Free Grants of Land. I reserve, likewise, the Bill respecting the limitation of Actions. That respecting Mortgages shall receive my early and most attentive consideration, as shall also the Bill to provide for the settlement of all outstanding questions relating to the Sale of Land for Taxes in Vancouver Island. All the Resolutions passed by the Legislative Council shall have my full attention during the recess. You will not expect that! should allude to all of them separately, but there are some which I ought now to notice. I shall be glad to co-operate with you in any means for the promotion of Immigration and the occupation ofthe Crown Lands. The question as to whether the usually objectionable system of a bonus on exportation of certain natural products or manufactured articles is specially desirable here, shall n the Executive Council. I shall be very glad if the state ofthe Public Revenue shall justify the reduction or abolition of the Road Tolls. Every fair consideration shaU be given to youi recommendation in favour of premiums for the establishment of Quartz Mills. But special care must be taken in thus disposing of the Taxes levied on th< people. . I have to thank you for the appropriations made for the requirements of the Public Service. I notice with pleasure the interest you display Hospitals. The principal Custom House, shall be established where the principal Colony is carried on, nor shall in o chief town lack any of the foster: ernment. If, in spite of y a Public ofthe d ofthe Gov- Resolution in favour of ng my abode and the Seat of the Legislature from the spot established- by Law, you will understand that I consider the public faith and honor engaged on the one side, and possible expediency on the other. If, as some persons assert, the present uncertainty be found to be more detrimental to the public interests than any decision which may be arrived at I shall come to that decision and make public the recommendation I may lay before the Secretary of State. I however look confidently forward to the time when the centre of population will be found on the Eastern side of the Cascade Range. I am about to communicate with the Secretary of State and the Governors of Canada and of the Hudson's Bay Company, respecting the wish you have expressed to enter into a confederation with the Eastern Provinces of British North America. I will is a Council, if a'Legislative Session is in not as individual Honorable Gentlemen, of my enquiries. Humbly trusting that the year now opening may be one of prosperity to our miners, farmers, and mer. chants, I will relieve you for a time from your Legislative duties. In December next I hope to give you a satisfactory account ofthe year's Executive Administration. In the succeeding month, I trust, under - improvement may be proposed to you and that simul- . taneously some of the weight of taxation may be inform yoi ofthe aved. •eby prorogued ac islativ METEOEOLOGICAL OBSEH^A.TIO!SrS.

Honorable Gentlemen of the Legislative Council: It is with great pleasure that I find myself enabled to-day to relieve you from further attendance upon your Legislative duties. I acknowledge, with thankfulness, the care and candour you have bestowed upon all matters which have been brought under your consideration. You have been informed -by message that I have assented to nearly all the Bills which have been to me. I have now to add to our Statute Book the following Ordinances which, in Her Majesty's n: I have allowed:— The Indian Liquor Bill, Harbour Regulations Marriage Bill, and those relating to Aliens, to the Gold Mining Districts, to the Excise Law, to Currency the Harbour Dues and Coasting Licences, to t extending the time granted to the Harewood Coal Company, to the Bill relating to Pilotage, t< that respecting Ports of Entry, to the Repeal of thi . Real Estate Tax of Vancouver Island, to the Bill! affecting the Medical Profession and the Postal Service, to the Supply Bill for Vancouver Island and the Supplemental Supply Bill for the Mainland. I reserve for the signification of Her Majesty'.' pleasure the proposed Ordinance respecting the dis posal of the Crown Lands. I shall transmit with i the Resolution passed by the Council in favour of a system of Free Grants of Land. I reserve, likewise, the Bill respecting the limitation of Actions. That respecting Mortgages shall receive my early and most attentive consideration, as shall also the Bill to provide for the settlement of all outstanding questions relating to the Sale of Land for Taxes in Vancouver All the Resolutions passed by the Legislative Council shall have my full. attention during the recess. You will not expect that'I should allude to all of them separately, but there are some which I ought now to notice. I shall be g'ad to co-operate with you in any means for the promotion of Immigration and the occupation of the Crown Lands. The question as tc whether the usually objectionable system ofa#bonu£ on exportation of certain natural products or manufactured articles is specially desirable here, shall engage my attention in the Executive Council. I shall be very glad if th< le shall justify the redi oad Tolls. Every fair consideration shall be given to y commendation in favour of premiums for the es1 shment of Quartz Mills. But special care must ken in thus disposing of the Taxes levied on people. I have to thank you for the appropriations m for the requirements of the Public Service. I no Reve ■ith plea e the i l display in the Public itals. pal Custom House, shall as you desire, :re the principal commerce of the Colony is carried on, nor shall in other respects our chief town lack any ofthe fostering aid ofthe Government. If, in spite of your ResolTrtioTrin favour of Victoria, I still hesitate on removing my abode and the Seat ofthe Legislature from the spot established - by Law, you will understand that I consider the public faith and honor engaged on the one side, and possible expediency on the other. If, as some persons assert, the present uncertainty be found to be more detrimental to the public interests than any decision. which may be arrived at I shall come to that decision and make public the recommendation I may lay before the Secretary of State. I however look confidently forward to the time when the centre of population will be found on the Eastern side of the Cascade Range. I am about to communicate with the Secretary of State and the Governors of Ganada and of the Hudson's Bay Company, respecting the wish you have Eastern Provinces of British North America. I will inform you as a Council, if a Legislative Session is in progress, if not as individual Honorable Gentlemen, of the result of mj enquiries. Humbly trusting that the year now opening may be one of prosperity to our miners, farmers, and merchants, I will relieve you for a time from your Legislative duties. In December next I hope to give you a satisfactory iccount of the year's Executive Adminis- tration. In the succeeding month, I trust, under circumstanc s of greater prosperity, that works of improvemen may be proposed to you and that simul- taneously s me of the weight of taxation may be removed. ceed to prorogue this Legislative Council,. e is hereby prorogued accordingly.

On the 24th May, 1867, the Harbour Lights at th Entrance of Port Louis, Mauritius, will be done awa with, and a Floating Light at the Bell Buoy Ancho: age will be substituted. The Floating Light Vessel will be moored a littl to the N. Wrd. ofthe present well known Bell Buoi with the following bearings : Extreme of land to the Northward: N.E. b. N. Extreme of land to the Westward: W.S.W. Flagstaff on Fort George: S.E. J S. Depth of Water: 15 fathoms. The Light Vessel.will be painted white, which will nable her to be distinctly seen against the dark land uring the day. She will shew a "flashing white Light" from Sunset 3 Sunrise, which will be visible a distance of 9 miles 1 every direction from Seaward, from the poop of a large vessel. The fact of this being a flashing Light, at short intervals, will sufficiently distinguish it from the Revolving Light at Flat Island, even were a mistake possible. Vessels from the Northward, after rounding Can- nonier Point, must be careful not to bring Cannonier Point Light to the Westward of Flat Island Light, till the Floating Light at the Bell Buoy is seen; they may then steer for the latter, on a S .S.W. J W. bearing, and ichor on that bearing, from £ a mile to a mile from the Light. Vessels approaching the Port from the Westward, ay steei for the Floating Light on an E. b. N. £ N. bearing, and either anchor £ a mile from her on that bearing, or further to the Northward as convenient. The Mooring Chain of the Floating Light runs about >0 fathoms in a N.N.

That the Union of the Colonies having been consummated, the Seat of Government should be placed where it will meet the concurrence of, and aflford the greatest accommodation to, the majority ofthe inhabitants ofthe Colony; That Victoria is the most suitable place that can be chosen for. the Seat of Government, and that its selection for that purpose would meet with the concurrence of the majority of the inhabitants of the United Colony, whether they reside on the Mainland or on this Island; That continued uncertainty on the subject can only result in protracted want of confidence, and in ex- of the vitality ofthe entire community. 'etitioners therefore pray that in deference to the wishes of the great majority of the people, Excellency may be pleased to settle the Seat of •nment at Victoria, at the earliest date consist- igencies ofthe Public Service.

To His Excellenc the Honorabl ofthe Colony The Humble Petition of the undersigned r fully sheweth g they are real property hold April 27th, 1867.] THE GOVERNMENT GAZETTE. 2. That the present circumstances of the Colony do not appear to justify such a step in the existing state of road and water communication, and in the absence of a permanently settled population. 3. That the financial affairs of the Colony are such as to render any further present outlay for Government buildings and works next to an impossibility. 4. That there are no suitable or convenient Government Offices in New Westminster, while those in Victoria are well adapted for Executive and Judicial purposes, and are capacious enough to meet the requirements ofthe United Colonies for many years to come. 5. That as our business generally concentrates in Victoria, and is still likely to do so, from its being the nearest seaport to the ocean, the general depot for merchandise, and the head quarters of the banks, it irill be should 1 lade the Seat of Go\ ybe dee ied advisable t move the Capital to the interior of the Cou: 6. That with no feeling of prejudice against New Westminster, we respectfully deprecate its being selected as the Capital, as such selection must necessarily involve expense to the Government and inconvenience to us, inasmuch as, unless placed in the interior, Victoria offers greater facilities for the transaction of our business as a Capital than New Westminster could ever do unless attended with a very considerable outlay. 7. Your Memorialists in view of the foregoing considerations, and with the firm belief that the proposed change would be the greatest good of the greatest number, respectfully pray that the Seat of Government may be removed to Victoria, at the earliest date consistent with the exigencies of the Public Service. And your Memorialists, as in duty bound, will ever pray. (Signed) Buie, Bros., Merchats, Williams Ck., Robert Burrell, Bank of B.N.

[November 16th, 1867 whistle to keep to the left; and these signals shall be observed by all Steamers whether by night or day, or whether in a narrow or wide river; and no such Vessel shall be justified in coming into collision with another, if it shall be proved by evidence that such collision could have been avoided. 2.

When two Boats, the oneascending and the other descending, are about to enter a - narrow channel at the same time, the ascending Boat shall be stopped below such channel until the descending Boat shall have passed through; but should two Boats unavoidably meet in such channel, then it shall be the duty of the Pilot of the ascending Boat to make the proper signal, and to lie as close as possible to that side of the channel which he may have selected, until the descending Boat shall have passed clear beyond risk of collision. 6. When a Steamer is ascending, and running close on a bar or shore, the Pilot shall in no case attempt to cross the river when a descending Boat shall be so near that it would be possible for a collision to ensue therefrom. 7. When any Steamer, either ascending or descending, is nearing a short bend or point in the River, when, from any cause, a Steamer approaching from an opposite direction cannot be seen from a distance of six hundred yards, the Pilot of such Steamer when he shall have arrived within six hundred yards of such bend or point, shall give a signal by one long sound of his steam whistle as a notice to any Steamer that may be approaching; and should there be any Steamer within hearing of such signal, it shall be the duty of the Pilot thereof to answer such signal by one long sound of his steam whistle, when ,both Boats shall be navigated with proper precautions, as required by Eule Third. 8.

When a Steamer is ascending, and running close on a bar or shore, the Pilot shall in no case attempt to cross the river when a descending Boat shall be so near that it would be possible for a collision to ensue therefrom. 7. When any Steamer, either ascending or descending, is nearing a short bend or point in the Eiver, when, from any cause, a Steamer approaching from an opposite direction cannot be seen from a distance of six hundred yards, the Pilot of such Steamer when he shall have arrived within six hundred yards of such bend or point, shall give a signal by one long sound of his steam whistle as a notice to any Steamer that maybe approaching; and should there be any Steamer within hearing of such signal, it shall be the duty of the Pilot thereof to answer such signal by one long sound of his steam whistle, when both Boats shall be navigated with proper precautions, as required by Eule Third. 8.

When a Steamer is ascending, and running close on a bar or shore, the Pilot shall in no case attempt to cross the river when a descending Boat shall be so near that it would be possible for a collision to ensue therefrom. 7. When any Steamer, either ascending or descending, is nearing a short bend or point in the River, when, from any cause, a Steamer approaching from an opposite direction cannot be seen from a distance of six hundred yards, the Pilot of such Steamer when he shall have arrived within six hundred yards of such bend or point, shall give a signal by one long sound of his steam whistle as anotice to any Steamer that may be approaching; and should there be any Steamer within hearing of such signal, it shall be the duty of the Pilot thereof to answer such signal by one long sound of his steam whistle, when both Boats shall be navigated with proper precautions, as required by Rule Third. 8.

ADVERTING to a Resolution of the Legislative Council, passed on the 1st April, 1867, requesting the Governor to suspend his assent to a Bill passed by the Council, entitled "An Ordinance to provide " for the settlement of all outstanding questions relat- " ing to the Sale of Land for Taxes in Vancouver "Island," until His Excellency "shall have been " satisfied, by such means as to him may seem fit, of | the truth ofthe preamble and the propriety of the " Bill shall have been shewn," the Governor directs the publication, for general information, of the following Report of the Commission appointed by His Excellency to investigate into the matter. that it was clear of all Taxes. He entered into pos- on, built a House upon the Lot, and had lived in. that House ever since, and had regularly paid the 3 on the property since it became his. In November, 1865, while he was actually resident upon iOt and had ample effects to satisfy any levy by jss, the Lot was sol d, and he had no knowledge is transaction until the 21st May, 1867, when a friend informed him, who had obtained the knowledge during the sitting ofthe Commission. Leopold Lowenberg represented that his property, Lot 1268, Block 24, had been sold without any levy being made by distress, there being effects to satisfy ''stress. Also that Lot 16, 4 L, had likewise been sold without any attempt at a levy by distress, there being effects on the Lot that could have been REAL ESTATE TAX SALE ENQUIRY Commission. , To His Excellency Frederick Seymour, Esquire, Gove, and Com,iumd;:r-in-Chief in and over the Colony of British Columbia.- I. In pursuance ofthe powers vested in us by Commission under Your Excellency's hand and seal, anc dated the third day of May, in the year of Oar Lore One thousand . eight hundred und sixty-^even, we the'undersigncd proceeded, so far as we were able, diligently to enquire and examine into all matters anc things whatsoever as weil antecedent to as attending and otherwise in anywise delating to all and every the Sales and Purchases, or alleged Sales and Purchases, of Land or Rea-1 Estate, which have taken place in thr.t part of the Colonv of British Columbia heretofore known as the Colony of Vancouver Island, and made, or presumed, or alleged, oi intended to be made, under or by virtue of the provisions, or any of the provisions, or power, of the .

From the evidence given before us, we are un- -ibed as bein appear that vas given. In but very ever viewed their purs' in which the purchaser [• had done one act which any prudent man would possessed of property.

In illustra ion of each of these findings we beg to cite the follow ing facts and cases. First.—As tc THE REQUIREMENTS OP THE LAW. This provides that if payment of the Real Estate Tax be not made withi . shall levy the same by distress of the goods chattels of the person liable to pay the Tax.

Lot 426, Block sold on the 7th November, 1865. The Taxes had all been regularly paid on the Lot, by the owner, but the Lessee was in default for the Tax upon the ot, and for this Tax the whole Lot valued at $6000, with improvements valued it $800, wa3 sold for $1'6.'S0. TK^kn'owredge of .he sale only came to the agent of the owner (the awner being absent in Europe) during the sitting of the Commission. Foueti -The ) disposed o .s any levy, or or two in which thi ; have been avoided had w been regarded. One efore the Commission to protest against the'Sale of Lot 1036, Block Z. He purchased this Lot in January. 1865, under covenant From a "carefully compiled estimate, we find the ilue in 1865 of the property sold, which is still un- deemed, in round numbers was $102,000. The nbunt realized for this property from Tax Sales $2,300, or two per cent, only ou its value. Wewillfurthermention afewinstances in particular, where great sacrifice of property seems to have taken place, and the interests of absentee owners been greatly injured. Lot 30, subdivision of 5 acre Lot VIII., purchased for $600 in 1864, sold in 1865 for $3.50. whole valued at the for $400. Lot 532, Block H., with a Brick Store, worth together $3,000, sold for $35. Lot 426 with improvements, valued together at $6,800, sold for $16.80. Lot 420, Block 2, valued at $4,700, sold for $26.50. Lot 405, Block 13, valued at $2,800, sold in October, 1865, for $27.50, and again on 2nd November, 1865, for $50, the value of the lot in this case being apparently estimated by the amount of tax due upon it. The first sale was in default of payment of $20, J per cent. City Tax for the year 1862-3 • the last sale in default of the 1 per-cent. Tax, amounting to $40* for 1 per cent. Tax, 1863-4. .The taxes for 1864-5 and 1865-6 have been paid by the present owner and oc» cupier of the property, who, no doubt, from his not having appeared before the Commission, is in absolute ignorance of the sale of the lot. December 21st, 1867.] THE GOVEENMENT GAZETTE. IV. Two hundred and twenty- sented to us for property purchased at Sheriff's Sale. We are unable to say whether these comprise all outstanding claims for property so purchased, but we do not think there are any others. In numerous instances the property was redeemed direct from the purchaser without going through the intermediate process provided by the law, and, in consequence, no record of those instances exists. There are cases of lots having been sold twice and three times over sometimes the same person purchasing on each occasion, and at others different individuals buying at different sales, and neither purchaser being aware, until the sitting of this Commission, that the lot had-been previously or subsequently sold. There are also instances at some of .the last sales which took place, in which a lot has been sold and the transaction concluded by the payment ot the purchase money, while the individual purchasing had purchased the same lot at a previous sale, but neglected to complete thepurchase by payment of the money. V. We cannot but express our conviction that the forced sale of this property for taxes, without some far more careful investigation than seems ever to have been made, or without some special Legislative action designed especially to meet a case which the law raldc mplat atly to be deplored. The original Real E: passed in the year 1860. That Act by its provisions contemplated the sale ofthe property within the year ofthe tax falling due. The machinery of the Act seems, however, to have been defective, and no sales were made either in that or in the four following years. The first sale was made in April, 1865, and some of the property then disposed of was sold in default ot taxes for the years 1861 and 1862, in many cases when the taxes for 1864 and 1863 had been paid. Thus A. might buy from B., and was content with receiving B's receipt for the previous year's taxes. B. may have bought from C, and may have been equally careful to require the production of C's receipt, but D., from whom C. purchased, may have neglected to pay his, taxes, or the tax may not have been in course of payment, and C. may, through ignorance, have omitted to pay the first year's taxes. Eventually the land is sold and A. suffers, although no defaulter himself, and, confident in the punctuality of his own payments, does not concern himself about Sales, i lat he § eof tbe injury he has Besides the ease of an innocent purcnaser, may De mentioned numerous cases of Mortgagees who, on en- ealize their securities, find that the ot paid his taxes, and having left the Colony or become bankrupt, the properly may have been sold or may have become liable to be sold, whereas if the tax had been collected at the proper time it might have been obtained from the person primarily liable. VI. In no case, except where an entire lot has been sold, and all subsequent taxes paid by the purchaser, do we believe that a conveyance could be given to the purchaser,, and then only when a levy had been first attempted; for in all other cases, either the property sold was uot described with sufficient certainty at the time of sale, or the personal remedy not pursued in the first instance, or the original interest of the first purchaser has been so modified by subsequent defaults, and the intervention of other interests, that it would be a difficult matter indeed to determine the person rightly entitled to a conveyance, and the Government would be rendered liable to endless ac- certain specified time—say two'years,—then the entire lot or parcel of Real Estate should be sold, the claim against it so registered be discharged out of the proceeds, and the .balance paid into the Treasury for the benefit of those whom it may concern. All of which is.respectfully submitted. William A. G. Young, Acting Colonial Secretary, J. S. Helmcken, Member of Council for Victoria, late Speaker ofthe House of Assembly of V. I.

ADVERTING to a Resolution of the Legislative Council, passed on the 1st April, 1897, requesting the Governor to suspend his assent to a Bill passed by the Council, entitled ' 'An Ordinance to provide " for the settlement of all outstanding questions relat- " ing to the Sale of Land for Taxes in Vancouver "Island," until His Excellency "shall have been | satisfied, by such means as to him may seem fit, of '' the truth of the preamble and the propriety of the " Bill shall have been shewn," the Governor directs the publication, for general information, of the following Report of the Commission appointed by His Excellency to investigate into the matter. REPORT REAL ESTATE TAX SALE ENQUIRY Commission. * To His Excellency Frederick Seymour, Esquire, Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and over the Colony of British Columbia. I. In pursuance ofthe powers vested in us by Commission under Your Excellency's hand and seal, and dated the third day of May, in the year of Our Lord One-thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven, we the undersigned proceeded, so far as we weue able, diligently to enquire and examine into all matters and things whatsoever as well antecedent to as attending and otherwise in anywise relating to all and every the Sales and Purchases, or alleged Sales and Purchases, of Land or Real Estate, which have taken place in that part of the Colony, of British Columbia heretofore known as the Colony of Vancouver Island, and made, or presumed, or alleged, or intended to be made, under or by virtue of the provisions, or any of the provisions, or power, of the . "Real Estate Tax Act, 1860," or the "Real Estate Tax Amendment Act, 1862," of the said former Colony of Vancouver Island, or either of the said Acts, for default of paj'ment of taxes a able or alleged to have been assessed or leviable under the said Acts or either"'of them, and we have now the honor to submit our Report in accordance with the Commission of Your Excellency as aforesaid II. From the evidence given before us, we are unable to discover that in one single instance has th< property been sold in strict accordance with the terms ofthe Act: but on the contrary it has been shi taken place which might have been avoided, had the requirements of the law been regarded. We further found that in no case where a portion of a lot had been sold, was the portion sold accurately des by the vendor, nor was the purchaser strictly of what he was purchasing. We also found that property had been sold upon which the taxes had been that it was clear of all Taxes. He entered into possession, built a House upon the Lot, and had lived in that House ever since, and had regularly paid the ~ s on the property since it became his. In :mber,f1865, while he was actually resident upon the Lot and had ample effects to satisfy any levy by distress, the Lot was sold, and he had no knowledge of this transaction until the 21st May, 1867, when a id informed him, who had obtained the knowledge during the.sitting of the Commission. Leopold Lowenberg represented that his property, Lot 1268, Block 24, had been sold without any levy being made by distress, there being effects to satisfy "stress. Also that Lot 16, 4 L, had likewise been sold without any attempt at a levy by distress, there being effects on the Lot that could have been seized. Dr. H. A. Tuzo testified to many similar instances which are detailed in the minutes of evidence. Second.—As to the sali iingle witness who appeared before the Commission who had purchased a portion of a Lot :>e what portion he had bought. In some that When a certain number of iable to sale And 'f these findings we beg ; ofthe RealjEsta lin date, the Sher i of the goods ai ay the Tax. And ' proximately sufficient to pay the amount 1." i the evidence presented to us, it does no at in any single instance was any levy, or t at a levy, by distress made, will give an instance or two in which thi neasure of Sale might have been avoided had juirements of the law been regarded. m Miller appeared before the Commissii against the Sale of Lot 1036, Block Z. sed this Lot in January 1865, under cove feet w sold il ribed a but in the majority of instances it does not appear that even this vague description was given. In but very fewjeases had the purchasers ever viewed their purchase, and there is but one case in which the purchaser • had entered into possession, or had done one actwhich under ordinary'circumstances any prudent man would do when becoming possessed of property. Real Estate Tax is still due on nearly all the property sold, and has been due since the date of sale. None of the purchasers have ever made any attempt to pay this liability. In the cases where it is not due, j " 5 original owners have continued to pay, and appear be totally unaware of the sale. There may be many more instances of this than we •e aware of, for naturally the owner of property who has regularly paid his Taxes, would trouble himself but little about the sales in default of Taxes, and would not therefore refer to the Lists: but we will one case particularly to the point, and others will be found in the minutes of evidence. Lot 426, Block 13, was sold on the 7th November, 1865. The Taxes had all been regularly paid on the Lot, by the owner, but the Lessee was in default for the Tax upon the Building erected on the Lot, and for this Tax the whole Lot valued at $6000, with improvements valued at $800, was sold for $16.80. The knowledge of the sale only came to the agent of the owner (the owner being absent in Europe) during the sitting of the Commission. Fouri —The s find the From a carefully compiled « value in 1865 of the property sold, which is still unredeemed, in round numbers was $102,000. The amount realized for this property from Tax Sales $2,300, or two per cent, only on its value. We will further mention a few instances in particular, where great sacrifice of property seems to have taken place, and the interests of absentee owners been greatly injured. Lot 30, subdivision of 5 acre Lot VIII., purchased for $600 in 1864, sold in 1865 for $3.50. 1162 acres of land in Victoria District, being Section 44, and also Sections 15 and 16 of Beckley Farm, the whole valued at the time at about $25,000, was sold for $400. Lot 532, Block H;, with a Brick Store, worth together $3,000_, sold for $35. Lot 426 with improvements, valued together at $6,800, sold for $16.80. Lot 420,.Block 2, valued at $4,700, sold for $26.50. Lot 405, Block 13, valued at $2,800, sold in October, 1865, for $27.50, and again on 2nd November, 1865, for $50, the value of the lot in this case being apparently estimated by the amount of tax due upon it. The first sale was in default of payment of $20, J per cent. City Tax for the year 1862-3; the last sale in default of the 1 per cent. Tax, amounting to $40, for 1 per cent. Tax, 1863-4. The taxes for 1864-5 and 1865-6 have been paid by the present owner and occupier of the property, who, no doubt, from Ms not having appeared before the Commission, is in absolute ignorance of the sale of the lot. December 28th, 1867.] THE GOVEENMENT GAZETTE. IV. Two hundred and twenty-two claims were presented to us for property purchased at Sheriff s,Sale We are unable to say whether these comprise all outstanding claims for property so purchased, but we do not think there are any others. In numerous instances the property was redeemed direct from the purchaser without going through the intermediate process provided by the law, and, in consequence, no record of those instances exists. There are cases of lots having been sold twice and three times over, sometimes the same person purchasing on each occasion, and at others different individuals buying at different sales, and neither purchaser being aware, until the sitting of this Commission, that the lot had been previously or subsequently sold. There are also instances at some of the last sales which took place, in which a lot has been sold and the transaction concluded by the payment ot the purchase money, while the individual purchasing had purchased the same lot at a previous sale, but neglected to complete the purchase . by payment of the money. V. We cannot but express our conviction that the forced sale of this property for taxes, without s far more careful investigation than seems ever to been made, or without some special Legislative a< designed especially to meet a case which the law could certainly not contemplate, is very greatly t deplored. The original Real Estate Tax Act passed in the year 1860. That Act by its provis contemplated the sale of the property within the ofthe tax falling due. The machinery of the Act seems, however, to have been defective, and no were made either in that or in the four following years. The first sale was made in April, 1865, some of the property then disposed of was sol default ot taxes for the years 1861 and 1862, in r cases when the taxes for 1864 and 1863 had been paid. Thus A. might buy from B., and was conten with receiving B's receipt for the previous year'i taxes. BI may have bought from C, and may have been equally careful to require the production "of C: receipt, but D., from whom C. purchased, may havi neglected to pay his taxes, or the tax may not havi been in course of payment, and C. may, through ignorance, have omitted to pay the first year's taxes. Eventually the land is sold and A. suffers, although no defaulter himself, and, confident in the punctuality of his own payments, does not concern himself abi ' Tax Sales, so that he remains in entire ignorance the injury he has suffered until accident reveals Besides the case of an innocent purchaser, may mentioned numerous cases of Mortgagees who, on < deavouring to realize their securities, find that 1 Mortgagor has not paid his-taxes, and having left the Colony or become bankrupt, the property may have been sold or may have become liable to be sold, whereas if the tax had been collected at the proper time it might have been obtained from the per! primarily liable. VI. In no case, except where an entire lot has been sold, and all subsequent taxes paid by the purchaser, do we believe that a conveyance could be given t purchaser, and then only when a levy had been attempted; for in all other cases either the property sold was not described with sufficient certainty at th( time of sale, or the personal remedy not pursued it the first instance, or the original interest of the firs purchaser has been so modified by subsequent de ' faults, and the intervention of other interests, that i would be a difficult matter indeed to determine th< person rightly entitled to a conveyance, and th( Government would be rendered liable to endless ac VII. After a careful review, therefore, of the whole matter, seeing that the law has been applied manner that cannot have been contemplated, realizing what a very heavy injury would be inflicted upon many innocent persons were the property sold to be confirmed to the purchasers, and considering the fact that those purchasers have never taken possession of or utilized their purchases, and cannot be so greatly injured as the owners of the property which has been sold, we are of the deliberate and unanimous opinion that fair and substantial justice will be done, and a great embarrassment removed, if the money paid by the purchasers be refunded to them with a liberal rate of interest, and the amount of money so refunded be registered in the Land Registry Office as a charge against the property liable, the said charge to carry with it interest at a rate equal to the loss the public may sustain through default of payment ofthe taxes; and should the charge and interest not be repaid by the owner of the property within a in specified time—say two years,—then the en- jot or parcel of Real Estate should be sold, the l against it so registered be discharged out of the seds, and the balance paid into the Treasury for the benefit of those whom it may concern. All of which is respectfully submitted. .William A. G. Youns, Acting Colonial Secretary. J. S. Helmcken, Member of Council for Victoria,* late Speaker ofthe House of Assembly of V. I.
