I^e; J^rovlntiiai Counotl will meet |his day at three o'clock, for the.^leotiODl of a Superintendent,; - aiij < lied''bf Mr"< McLean, who, happily for the country, has been translated:to a. highet'and more important sphere of usefulness* Mr. McLean's farewell address will be foun^l, in another column. 6,4 ,( v. It is'probably no "se^ifefv thatf^he choice o£ the: Council,will 1 iall upon a gentleman who has long been associated with Mr. McLean in ProyincMiaffairs, and who, latteriy, has been a main in-, strument in freeing, the colony from the dreadful incubus which was fast weighing iit down ;''tov- desWuc^on. While 'Mr. Ormond's talents, whether as a legislatoroorr r man of business,^ and his late career in the^ouie'pf :Reprp- . senta'tives, entitle him to'every' respect, —we may add that the necessity felt on all sides of perfect unanimity "of 'action .during the prese'nt[(ciMi;]t&s, no doubt, contributed^ to the universally expressed wish that the gentleman holding the position of General Government; agent should; also Vfili: Jbfet of Superintendent t of the' Province. x... Although otlier matters .demai|d| at this juncture, the at^jation pf our^ldcai legislative i)ody~sucH,.fpri example, as may arise out of tliQ recent .go.ld^discoveries in the KaimauWS-^the^busi-ness to-day will necessarily be rsstricted to the election of Supei'int^cteflt^s^eing that, before he can ente(r: up6{L''iiis' r hew duties, or initiate | any,Jbusm^sSi the Superintendent-elect' must go ,bac|c to his constituents for re-election. * This dene, we presume the Council will be called together for the , despatch of pressing business. . • :r, f p
