The Departure of General Black

has been delayed in consequence of the nonarrival of his successor, Major-General Gris-coigue. The Intter is due by the next English mail, which should arrive to-morrow. General Black, on taking his seat as President of the Legislative Council on Thursday, observed: "This is really my. final attendance, gentlemen." The gallant officer had, it will be remembered, already taken his farewell, not expecting to meet the Council again. His Excellency will Teave most pleasant recollections of his bonhomie and good sense behind him, and will carry with him the good wishes of the entire Colony. He leaves by English mail steamer to-morrow.
