THE LEGISLATION OF SESSION Y.
We lay before our readers a despatch from the Secretary of State for the Colonies, in forming the Governor that the native Terri torial Rights Act cannot be recommended to Her Majesty for approval, and must therefore remain inoperative. Writing at the eleventh hour — obliged to insert at once a document possessing such un usual interest under the present circumstances of the province, and expected to accompany it with our own comments, although not yet al lowed the time to give it mature considera tion, we content ourselves, for the moment, with indicating a few leading points, by bear ing which in mind the readers of the docu ment may be assisted in properly estimating it for themselves.
