We append the resolutions adopted, from which you will perceive that the meeting was preliminary only. It was strongly felt that the joint co-npei-ation of both Colonies was highly neoessary for suocossfully car.7ingout an effort, which, if undertaken by eilh«r separately, might fail : in order, h)\vover, to hasten th9 initiation of so desirable an enterprise, it was deemed advisable that a Public Meeting ahould lake place in Victoria witho.it the delay which must interveui before communications could reach us fiom the various towns of British Colum!)ia. A highly respeutable and tolerably large a^.iei-.il Con nittj^ ^va^ uppointed yesl rday, iujiuding the names of many residents in British Columbia; but still with the expectation that many more gentleman resident in and convrtrsaul with British )lumbia wo..ld be adieJ, in orier to ^ejure unity of action, and that the views of the inhatjitants of th A Coloay shoul.l be fully represented. To this end, the Sixth Resolution w is framed, and we are directed, in furtherance thereof, to invite your hearty co-operation in thii MOSt important undertaking, and to request your assistance in bringing it before 'he public in your neighborh . .1. in such a m inner as to secure the united action of the two Colonics in furtherance of a common object for the common good.
