As a proof of the confidence reposed in them by their constituents, he could assure them that they would faithfully discharge their duties to them in Parliament, and work for the good of the colony generally.

(Cheers.) Again thanking them for the honour done the members of the new Council, Mr.Carr resumed his seat amidst great applause.
Mr.Leake (who, on rising, was supposed to follow Mr.Carr) said his rising was not important.

As the next toast fell to his lot, he would ask them to charge their glasses.

The toast that was placed in his hands was to propose the health of his friend, Mr.Barlee, the Colonial Secretary.
He trusted they would join him in giving Mr.Barlee a hearty welcome after his travels in foreign parts.

Mr.Barlee started on his journey with the approval of the entire colony, and that the acts of the Government had always the approval of the colonists was more than could be said at all times.
