Ctsw, Twes.vt o'CLocx.—The Bank and Stork Exchange still remain closed, and no business is doinor,.np ,to this boar, in any of the Fund•, though a few persons have assembled at the Auction Mart. Jamaica Papers to the 29t-Of October have _arrived this morning, from which we select the following ex• traet:— 1 - of brol At three o'clock the House of Assembly met pnrsnant to the tinvernor's Pro.l4mition, when his Grace was pleas• ed to delire! the followint speech : " It is very satisfactory to me that nothing has rendered it necessary to call you together sooner than I have been accustomed, and I am confi.lent that you will now apply yourselves to the discharge of your pnbiic duty. I hare ono subject to recommend to yonr particular considdration, 'careful revision of the Consolidated Slave Law. Haws ing from long experience, the disposition you have constantly 'hewn to improve the condition of the Slave p T ulation, 1 am persraded that the same liberality of sentiment which bas already conferred upon them so ; many important benefits, will suggest to you and, further means of prolow , ing their comfort and moral improvement, as may seem best adapted to the state of society, on which they are to operate—strengthening that dutiful attach ment, with which they look up to you as ;their natural protectors. 1 atn more earnest in pressing this suhket, as in all, parts of the civilized world there exists the s t r ongest desire to improve the condition * of the lower orders of society., • . . A Carthaona Gazette of the 25th Oct. mentions, that General Bolivar entered Lima on the 20th of that month amidst great acclamations of the public. The Message of the American President at the opening , of the Congress on the Ist inst. the sequel of which ere have given in our paper to day, appears to us a perfect specimen of what ought to be the address of the Ruler of a free conotry, to the people, upon the state of theit affairs. It contains the most perfect exposition of the proceemlin4s of Goveroment in every department of its functions; it states most explicitly the principles upon which time Government has proceeded in every transaction of importance, either domestic or foreign—and it lays open to public view the state and condition of the revenue; inn* instance express. ing any thing so equivocally that the public mind can remain lin doubt, or be apprehensive of any of the hopes which the President has excited being destroyed by future ter, iverse ties of explanations of any sort. rho 'moue itself is goo slew and satisfactory to seed, or even to admit, of any comment ; and we have, thereforeonly to point out to our readers a few of its characteristic or important points. •"11se People." says the President, " being with no ea. dwairtly the Soverelp, it is indispensable that fa iir THE STATV.SMAN ferniatloi be laid below tbeus on all important subjects; 'to 'ls enable thews to exercise that high II power with complete effect." Europe has just wit nes.ed a sanguinary war to suppress this very prin. ciple, as, not only dangerous to, but absolutely inconsistent with the prosperity and even existence of any state. Sow, that a state may floarish, and beyond all precedent— upon this principle, we have only to rehr to a paragraph in the President's message. " The actual condition of the public finances more than realile the favourable anticipations that were eater• taint(' of it at the opening of the last session of Congress. Os the let of January, there was a balance in the Treasury of 4,237,427 dollars and 35 rents.— From that time to the 30th of September the receipts amounted to upwards of 16,100,000 dollars, and the expen• ditures to 11,400,000 dollars. During the fourth quarter of the year, it is estimated that the receipts will, at least, equal the expenditures ; and that there will remain in the Treasury, on the lot day of January next, a surplus of yearly 9,000,000 dollars." But the President's message is in all respects so impor• tent In the present crisis of European affairs, that we purpose resuming the subject in our next publication. The Flanders papers which arrived last night, announce I that the Russian Merchants having experienced a great diminution of their trade in consequence of the existing Tariff, had petitioned the Emperor to moderate the duties on the importation of foreign goods. It was not thought, however, that they would succeed, as many of the principal Nobility had embarked large capitals in the Russian ma nufaCtures, for the protection of which those high duties had been laid. The Hamburg papers which reached us at the same time states that the King of Denmark bad issued an order, informing the. Duchy of Holstein that he intended to give it a Representative Constitution, and directed Count Matlke and four other persons to repair to Copen hagen to meet a Commission appointed to investigate the subject, and report upon it. The New York papers which brought the President's menace, brought also a confirmation of the account that the town of Porto Covello was taken by storm on the tith of November by the troops under the command of tienerals Nee and Bermudez, and that the only rein ailing fort, the castle at the entrance of the tinhorn., surrendered on the 10th. The garrison was to be sent to Cuba. Thus, at the very time when the Madrid Gazette bo ate," of the number of places end possessions which the Spaniards retained on tl eSouth American Continent, their last annyweerlestroyed in Peru, and their last hold in Colombia was wrested from their hands. If the reconquest of their late Colonies was difficult before, it is now impracticable. On the subject of the manufactures, the Honourable Mr. Keyes lately Said in the Legislature of Vermont, " Mr. Speaker, 1 Lave on the best coat in the House. It has been to Congress two sessions and thus far through this session of the Leiteleture; it was spun in my own house, and dressed by tine of our small establishments.

Tn a Ex EMPICIOR ITCRIIIDS.A letter from Paris 'fates, that the Emperor Iturbille was wrecked on the toast of Tuscany, after taking shipping at Leghorn for England. His Imperial Majesty had bees wise enough to provide himself with a passport ehich carried him through the states of Sardinia.. He ! was, however, informed that lie could nut cuter France. His Ex-Majesty therefore proceeded to Geneva, where he I time is. 'thence he proceeds through the Prussian and Belgic states to Ostend, where he embarks for England.

Skore was last night perforated et this Theatre to a very crowded house, In which Mr. WALIACk. and Mrs. BeIVW Mat their appearance for the first time in tie parts of Lord Hastings and Alicia. which they severally 'ls . tained with considerable ability. The attraction, however, of the far greater part of the audienee was the first representation of the new greed and comic Christmas Pantomime, which had been announced to be in preparation ever since the aummer.— It bears the name of Hartwig and the Flying Chest. The story is taken from the Persian Tales, and is by nd mesas re' markahie for that interest it contains.--fudeed the idea of a succession of rapid tliehts from place to place by a lover 'a n strong boa is In itself absurd ; but whateve; was defetate I . * the story, was tully compensated by the embellishments of ne piece. That Pantomine should form a part of the rational amuse. ment of tie Theatre is no longer surprising,w hen we witness, as we did last night. a succession of scenes whose execution reflects the highest honour on the progress of the arts is this country. and throw the spell of the brilliant coluer, and classical delinestion of art, foier scenes familiar to every person's eye and recollection. Without far of' criticism or conttadict.on, we shall slot hesitate to assert, that in no Theatre had there previouely been exhibited such a timenitici n• specimen of the scenic art as the moving Di or ama of !ii,t night, intended to illustrate by a succession of panoramic views that great national undertaking—the process of the cons ruction ofs he Breakwater at Plvmoatli. The quarries of Orestan, the Catwater, and men of war at anchor, are painted with the greatest graphic fidelity ; and in effect or splendid colouring, scarcely yield to the best efforts of Oszariz or VANDERVELT. The conclusion of the Dioramic scene represents a glorious show of the wooden bulwarks of Britain on their native element in Plyuwath Sound. The calm brightness of the sky becomes now overcast, the sea is (rightfully agitated, and the storm in its fury strews the shore sod headlands with wrecks of vessels. Soon after, its rage is seen to abate, and a man of war's host, after weathering the gale in a style which displayed all the &fficulties of an oared host in such a situation, gains the protection of the Break. water. The scene is again illumined by the sun's rare, and in the distance is represented a rainbow, glowing by degrees in all the truth and beauty of nature over a calm and unruffled sea, bright with the reflected tints of the sky. The whole of this scene is in conformity with the plan of the new drop scenes at this theatre, and is eniiveneil by the introduction of troupe* of store cutters, sinnaglers, and labourers, mostly in stationary groupes or in repose, so as to relieve the eye from the ssmeoess of inenim tte landscape or sea views. This scene was the ehef d ce..tve of the Artist and of the performance; and was received throughout its representa tion, which lasted I minutes, by repeated bursts of applause. The whole . of this scene, as well as that of the Mango grove, and the Northern regions by moonligh both sweet sat scenes, is by that admirable Artist, STAN. field. Foothill Abbey and a Village, by Itonemrs, are deserving eperimens of talent. The splendid Palace of the Hundredthstes, the boudoir of the Princess, and the Bridge over the Indus, fuse. did equal merit to the respective at list« and the processions had a judicious mixture of the splen. did and the ludicrous. For the plot, we must, from want of room, refer oar readers, for the present, to the play bills of the day. Mr. now std. was the Harlequin of the night; Signor PAVIA), was theCforem and Mt BLANCHARD, thePurstaloon.They all displayed great agility, and the two latter were freer sistihly laughable. line of their exploits was to make a roundabout of a ladder, through the spokes of which the head of a third man had beets thrust. It veva round for some time with great velocity. PAULO being at one end, and BLANCHARD at the other. They finished hr converting it into a See Saw. A Miss SMITH, pupil to Miss Tame, NIII4e her first appearance as Columbine. Her dancing was much admired, and she was altogether well received: A great living oviilittis presented in one of the scenes.— ' A figure alit' three heads and six arms appear , . Two of the heads and tour of the arms, which seem the property of a ronple of dwarfs, fight across the later figure, et hid', on raising his head, is imin liately kuo.ked down. This is managed by the two aims of a man, being provided each with a heail and lints. lite feet are masked to produ. e the principal or 'erg er flaunt, which only cis a to fall *gaits. As for the sratieforwatione, a Collage is contracted to shout a sixteenth of its original size, and subsequntly restored to its first dimensions, apparently without any aid but the magic tonal. A Stage Cos^h heroines part of a LTIICC. and the vehicle thus lost, aud in which Pantaloon bad taken his seat, is repro lured from a packing ease with the I Important personage ju.t ham. d looking out of the window. • A dram is turned into a very elegant tuarieeee, with seats and a table hateatit,and again becomes a drum. Various ot h er changes acre effected, if the tricks were fewer' than were wanted, this deficiency may arise in a great measure, from the attempt to 'swim , with the genius of Pantomime, a resin of witticisms better adapted to the vivacity of dialogue than the solemn exhilti• thin of placards. We shall explain this by an instance. Hartman, in one of his extremities, leaps through a paunch in the Post titles, on which " Tao Mails" are stated to be due, but as soon as be effects his entis ice the pannel changes to another which announces that " One Male is arrived. . The Pantomime was applandeil thronghout--esery thing writ favourably for it. Ti c machinery worked well, one trap door reseed relractory, and fire once tilled to come Ithea called for, but in general we hroke.l In vaiii for tie usual peel' dents of a first night, and universal shouts of approbation answered the annottecentent eventually given from t:te stage. t hat it would be repeated every evening till further no.ice.— i t cannot fail proving of uncommon attraction.
