Mr. S2ZAa]iR revered that the House had attended his Grace the Governor in the Council Chamber, when hie Grace was pleased 'to make a Speech, cf which Mr Speaker said be had. to prevent mistakes, obtained a rotor ; and the same being read, was ordered tu be entered, and is as fellows : •. Gentlemen of the Council,' " Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the Assembly, " 1 am happy to meet you at the usual season of the year. and to offer you my sincere congratu!ations on the undieturbed trans quillity which the Colony at present enjoys. " The measures which have been cdcpted in the Imperial Par liament, by which the interests of the West India Colonies have been ac iiberCly consulted, must convince you how anxious hie Majesty's Government is to promote their prosperity. Their ports have been opened to foreign ships: their trade opened to foreign countries : duties lowered, for the encltitaorwrit of some, and tor the relief of other, articles of produce—besides those w hi c h 3 , C considered the staple of the Colonies. Liege fees, wrtich have hitherto been levied in the Colonial ports, are either utodilial or altogether abo:ishcl, and to some of the free ports the privilege bra beim granted of having goods warehoused, from whence they tray be re-exported, free of duty, direct to any country, and in ships of any country, thereby establishing extensive mama, /vend. ing, as it were, midway between two worlds. front whence the wrote of the Sew tray be supplied, and where their produce in re torn may be advantageously deposited. There is no Colon! which will be more essentially benetitted by these atrangements than Jamaica. _ " Two years have now elapsed since I was instructed in submit to you certain proposi:ions tor improving the condition of the liter population: prepositions which. in almost every instance, bed been sugges✓d to his Majesty's Gortenutent by the prin cipal proprietma resident in England. The indisposition, which wes thew shows to take them into favourable consideration, I have always been wilting to ascribe to the alarm and uneasiness, which at that time pervaded all classes of this community. " At the commencement of the last Sevi;on I renewed my re presentations to you on this suhject, and although only two asastirea wag adopted. the beneficial consequences of which are of a limited nature, still I was induced to regard them as an earnest of fu'ure progress. I hope that in this expectation I shall not be deceived. No period can be more propitious for a calm and dispassionate consideration of what may he practic ible for the further protection of the persons, the security of the interests, and the motrotion of the well-hting, of that part of the popu lation which the laws have placed under your immediate con trol than the present—the Colony enjoying perfect repo e, no discussioos having taken place in Parliament either w excite Irritation, or encourage unreasonable expectation ' but you ere left to yourselves to act as your own judgment and discretion may Civet*. " Jamaica has always been considered as most likely to take the lead in every measure which may be calculated to improve the state of sonety in the West India Colonies, and it would be a great mortification to those who have looked with confidence to the et ample of thin Inland, should it be found that you either refuse to go further, or tintit your attention to regulations of comparatively minor Importance. I cannot suffer myself, however, to anticipave sash a return to the repeated representations, which have been modem you on a subject to whin) his Majesty's Government at. undies so much consequence, and nsyecting which the sense of Lament has been sn express l y declined. . _ '1 have received an sistructien under his Majesty's Sign Mseusi. directing me to recommend to tnu to provide, by light. lathe enactments, for placing fully and effectually in the bands of the flishop of JamAtca, the Spiritual and Ecclettastical Juris. iltedon over the clergy of his Diocese.

C 01.0.11 In the Colombian Papers, received by the Jamaica paci et. we see another proaf of the unanimous respect with which Itol:var is regarded. The election of the President and Vice-President is preceeding .n the Provincial Elec-" teral Asset°laths. Tic ugh the awes fcr the Vice-Presi dent are divided in many Assetollies, in not one of those of which the re loth has yet been declared has a single vote been given for any other President than Bolivar. It appears that the difficulties in the way of the steam navigation of the river Magdalena have not been found in superable. The following paragraph is from the Bogota ! Gazette. Itivra Maonal.exa.—Mr. Eters informs the Government in a letter of 9 1-t October. that on that day the steam-boat Genera!

The 'mini of Perion de Conejo is the place stipulated in the grant of the privilege to conclude the voyage frnir Santainarta and Csothagenit. Mr. Milers also states that on the ISth his boat assisted six others, bringing military ef. feet§ for the depots in the interior, front Carthagena, to pass the i strait of lot Angostura. The Government has received this news with the greatest satisfaction. ,11FXICO. The following further particulars of the circumstances which led to the surrender of the Caul' of St. Juan trill loa are derived from an authcuuc iOUTCe The Spaniards fitted out three frigates at the Ilavannah, on hoard of which they embarked troops, together with a large ripply of stores and provisions, for the further sup ply of the Castle, which had been defended for three years and upwards by a mere handful of troops, under the com mand of General Coppinger. The Commodore's ship was dismasteil on the voyage, and obliged to put hack. The other two arrived at their destination ; but instead of running in under the Castle, where nothing could touch them, they (on the first appear ance of an old Danish 20-gun ship, which the Mexicans had fitted out) cowardly merle off, and thus left :he brave Corpin:zer to his fate. Finding, therefore, that he was de prived of relief, and his men being reduced to about 57, he cime to the determination to surrender. General Coppin ger is a fine stout Irishman, who has been long in the ser vice of Spain, speaks with a little of Irish brogue, and is one of the most determined soldiers alive. Vera Cruz, toeing directly under the guns of this bomb proof castle, is completely riddled ; every house is bored with shot-I;ules, and the roofs being flat, they present a de plorable view from the heights—chairs, tables, broken fur niture, meet the eye in every direction. When the Lively left, It was confidently spoken of at Vera Cruz, that the Mexicans arc about to fit out an expedition to attack Cuba, the inhabitants of which are ripe for revolt. . _ The English mining interests are flourishing ; but no thing can induce the native Mexicans to use our wheel barrow, by them every thing is carried on the head. One Cornish miner is therefore able to do the work of ten Mexicans.—llamphire Telegraph. PRICES OF BRITISH s Doak Stock 2181 HMIs Aect. I pert ant. Red. 811 per Cent.

Last night we received the Paris Papers of Friday, with the h'toile dated Saturday. The latter contains a circum stantial detail of the mutiny at St. Petcrsbt'rgh in favour of CCONIITANTINt. It also notices the receipt of advices from that city, dated the 29th ult. stating the continuance of public tranquillity. The narrative of the mutiny dif fers in no material point from those already published. The conduct of the revolted troops was evidently that of men who expected to be supported by .the rest of the army and the mass of the people. They must have known that they were too few in number to have effected any change by their own power. , They marched, there fore, into the heart of the city without opposition, and stationed themselves before the Palace of the Senate, where they were joined by some soldiers of the body guard, and welcomed by the acclamations of the multitude.

This seems to be in brief the history of the first two days of the actual reign of the Emperor NICHOLAS. What future consequencts may ensue from these events time alone can develope. At present we must be content with knowing, as the Journal der Dauer observes, that sanguinary con tests have taken place, and that the army is divided. It yet remains to be seen for whom the armies at Warsaw, at Moscow, and on the banks of the Pruth will declare. The military execution done upon the adherents of Co N rrA N TINE at St. Petersburg]) will not insure or facilitate the success of NICHOLAS with the soldiery in the other parts of the empire. On the contrary, it will in all probability exasperate them against him. The question of the succes sion is still absolutely unsettled. It is remarkable that we have no tidings from Warsaw. The last notice of any kind relative to the proceedings of Co NSTANTI N lb is the letter dated 26th of November, 0.5., confirmatory of his resolution to perait in his renunciation of the crown. In the Manifesto, on his accession, the Em peror NICHOLAS states that he was " induced to defer the publication of the Acts (by which Co NSTA NTI NE had pre viously agreed to abdicate his right of succession) until the will of his Imperial Highness, with reference to the oath of fidelity taken to him, should be declared." It is singular enough, however, that though his Imperial Majesty adds that he has received this declaration, it does not appear among the documents appended to the Manifesto. This, the most important, indeed the only important document, is wanting. NICHOLAS himself treats the renunciation of CONSTANTINE during the reign of ALEXANDER as an act , invalid, until it was confirmed by CONSTANTINE'S free declaration after the late EMPEROR'S decease. Under this iinpressicei, the Manifesto states, that NICHOLAS and the whole empire swore allegiance to CONSTANTINE. Who has released them front this obligation ? If CoNSTANTINR has done so (and lie only could) why was not his decla ration published ? Why, instead of the speeches of NICHOLAS and the Metropolitan, was it not produced to satisfy the too faithful regiment of Moscow? The Frnch funds are improving. [From the Etoik dated Saturday, Jan. 141 PARIS, JAN. A letter from St. Petersburgh, of the 27th of Dec. gives the fol lowing details : The joy with which this capital yesterday saw the Emperor Nicholas accept the Crown has been troublet for a few hours by a melancholy event. All the Regiments of the Guards were to take, in the morning, the oath of allegiance to the new Emperor. At noon, the General of the Guards, and of the Staff, came to the Palace to announce that the oath had been taken by the Regiment of Horse Guards, by the Chevalier Guards of Prevbajerisky, Se. menoffsky, the Grenadiers Pawlowek, the Chasseurs of the Guard, and of Finland. and by the miners and sappers. No accounts had been received from the other regiments, but this circumstance was attributed to their barracks being st a greater distance. It was soon learnt that four officers of artillery had shown some opposition, but that they had been put under arrest, and that the remainder of the artillery had taken the oath universally. News w. s b ought that 300 or 400 men of the Regiment of Moscow had quitted their barracks with colours flying, and had advanced towards the Place du &net, proclaiming the Emperor Constantine. The people began to assemble in that square and about the Palace. The Emperor came thither without any suit, passing through the groups, and was every where received with demomixations of respect and joy. The two companies of the Regiment of. Moscow persisted, how ever, in their revolt. They drew up in a square battalion before the Palace of the Senate, and were commanded by seven or eight Subaltern Officers, who were joined by some persons in civil cos tume, whose appearance intimated their intentions. Individuals of the dregs of the people surrounded them with repeated huzzas. The presence of a faithful and resolute military force then became indispensable. The Emperor ordered a battalion of the regiment Revbajerisky. of the Guards, to march, and placed himself at their head, resolved not to employ force against the rebels till gentle means had been need in vain. General Miloradowitch, the Military Governor of St. Peters_ burgh, approached the mutineers, hoping that his voice would suffice to rccai them to their duty. A pistol fired by an individua. dressed in a frock coat wounded that brave General, who has since died in consequence. Even this crime did not alter the Emperor's mode of proceeding His firmness and his goodness were shown in the words of concilia don which he addressed to them, without however negotiating with them, and without concealing from them that their previous submission was necessary and the punishment of the agitators Indispensable. Meantime, by order M the Emperor, the battalion of sappers, and the chasseurs of Finland, who had reinforced the guard of the Castle, proceeded with the horse guards, the grenadiers of Pawlowsk, the chevalier guard, and the brigade of artillery, to join hie Majesty, and begged him to permit this mutiny to be put an end to at once. The mutineers had been joined by some sol diers of the grenadiers of the body guard, and some mantles, also of the guard. The Grand Duke Michael, who had lately arrived at St. Peters. burgh, being informed that the regiments which had revolted be. longed to his division, took his arms alone, and without force caused the six companies to take the oath, which they had at first refused, but had not, like their comrades, proceeded to the square of the Senate House. Nay, he even led them to his august bro ther, filled with the desire that animated the other troops to put an end to this momentary dereliction of duty. Towards night, when every appeal made to them had proved fruitless, whey even the voice of the Metropolitan of St. Peters burgh had been disregarded, the Emperor resolved to use force. Some pieces of cannon were brought, a few shots were tired at the rebels, and in an instant the square war cleared. The cavalry charged the small remnant of the mutineers, and pursued them is all directions ; patrols scoured all the streets. At six o'clock not an assemblage was to be seen even of two individuals together ; the rebels threw down their arms, and begged for mercy. _ . Towards ten o'clock more than WO of these unfortunate wretches had been collected by the patroles, and the most guilty of the officers had already been arrested. They have been placed for the present in the fortress of St. Petersburgh. At six o'clock his Imperial Majesty had already returned to the palace, and Te Deem on his accession to the throne was perforated in his presence, in that of the whole Court, and the civil and military authorities. Tranquillity was restored in the capital. The Emperor has shown on this occasion great coolness and elevation of soul, which have delighted the troops and the oldest generals. The agitators met with no support, except from drunken soldiers and some of the dregs of the people. Many of the revolters have already returned to their barracks and manifest the sincerest re. penteoce. The regiments which bivouacked during the night about the pelaee have returned to their barracks. The Emperor has reviewed them this morning ; and his Majesty, having learnt that the battalion of marines of the guard, which had been misled the day before by perfidious ineinaations, showed the most lively repentance of Its conduct, and had taken the oath of allegiance to the Grand Doke Michael, permitted them to appear in his presence, granted them pardon, and ordered their colours, which bad been taken from them the preceding day, to be restored. A letter of the 19th from St. Petersburgh, whitch we have thi s instant received. eontirmaall that we have said relative to the restora tion of tranquillity in that capital, and spin overthrows all the con jectum of the journals of this morning: re have nut time to insert it in the ROW of this day.

The rank of the parties shows that their journey is deemed of the highest importance. The modern system of Pot.rei CAI. ECONOM Y has of late attracted a great portion of the public attention, and as several of cur leading Statesmen are not only numbered among its patrons, but are about to apply its principles practisally to the commerce of Great Britain, the influence of those principles, whether for good or evil, will come to be felt, at no distant periud,in all the concerns of trade, do mestic and foreign,—in all that affects the revenue of the country—in all that touches the subsistence and well being of its population—in all that bears upon the interests of its agriculture, its commerce, and its manufactures—in a word, the merchant, the manufacturer, the monied capi talist, the farmer, the tradesman, the labourer, have their interests all deeply and fearfully embarked in the result. The stake is tremendous. It behoves every Member of Parliament 19 acquaint himself thoroughly with the princi ples to which he is about to give effect. It behoves every man in the kingdom to divest himself of all prejudice in discussing the policy of this new system and its probable operation. If its principles, however just in themselves, should be improperly applied, the consequences may be beyond the reach of remedy. For ourselves, whatever opinions we may offer upon the subject will be offered purely with a wish to assist in unfolding those principles, and to throw whatever light we may be able upon the foundations on which they rest. We have no interest but the interest of the country, and of that stake which we all have in its prosperity. We have no predilection in favour of the old school of political economists; very far from it; but we suspect the practice of our commercial forefathers to have been much wiser than their theories, and that we should do them great injustice were we to estimate their knowledge of the true principles of trade by the mis chievous regulations for its government which abound in our statute law. If Great Britain were di ;encumbered of her public debt, and were prepared to start on anything like equal terms with her foreign competitors, no rivals could enter the lists against her whose superiority she would have the slightest reason to fear. Free trade could not fail to he beneficial ; all would then be prepared alike to participate in its ad vantages. The liberal principles which we are note advo cating would Men be in harmony with times and circum stances; but if acted upon in the present state of things, the very same system might tend to bring the whole of our commerce into hazard, and to break up all the foundations of property. Mr. RICARDO, in his treatise " On else Principles of Political Economy," has a chapter " On sudden changes in the channels of trade," which, as his reputation stands high, are well deserving of examination. On whatever is connected with the bullion question, Mr. RICARDO writes with a fulness of information that may always be con sulted with advantage. But when treating on other topics of political science, he is by no means so safe a guide. He was worthy and intelligent man, well acquainted with all the arcana of the money-market, and who often trimmed his midnight lamp while studying " The Wealth of Nations." All his pursuits led that way, and he turned his meditations to profit. But as fur that philosophic and commanding intellect which qualifies a man to guide th * opinions of the world, he was at an immeasurable distance from it. His Treatise on Political Economy shows his claim to dictatorship on this science to be very slender. His style is for the most part vague and confused; he deals too much in assertions which he makes no attempt to prove ; and he never, in any one instance, takes that profound view of his subject which is essential to its illustration. Let us take the Silk Manufacture, for instance, as one that would induce the reader to seek for information, as to the manner in which it was likely to be affected by " the sudden changes in the channels of trade." The greater part of the looms belong, as is well known, to the workmen; if, therefore, they are thrown out of employ the value of this their fixed capital is destroyed. If the British Silk Trade is unable to bear up against foreign , competition the costly machinery of the silk-throwster is likewise rendered useless. When we inquire the result of ' this situation of things, we are told by Mr RICARDO that " In rich and powerful countries, where large capitals are invested in machinery, more distress will be experienced from a revulsion in trade than in poorer countries, where there is proportionally a much smaller amount of fired, and a much larger amount of circulating capital, and where consequently more work is done by the labour of men. It is not so difficult to withdraw a circulating as a fixed capital from any employment in which it may be engaged. It is often impossible to divert the machinery which may have been erected for one manufacture to the purposes of another; but the clothing, the food, and the lodging of the labourer in one employment may be devoted to the support of the labourer in another ; or the same labourer may receive the same food, clothing, and lodging while his employment is changed. This, however, is an evil to which a rielm nation must submit; and it would not be more reasonable to complain of it, than it would be in a rich merchant to lament that his ship was exposed to the dangers of the sea, whilst his poor neighbour's cottage was safe from all such hazard."—(c. xix, p. 311.) We have a strong objection to a comparison which, like the one at the close of this paragraph, is worth nothing in the way of illustration, and only serves to abstract the atten tion of the reader from the errors contained in the reason ing which precedes it. As to the loss of all the capital vested in their machinery, this is very coolly considered as an evil to which the manufacturers must submit. But it is the task of the political economist to combat this difficulty instead of thus escaping from it. Mr. RICARDO treats this calamity—without regard to what may be the cause of it—as if it were inseparable from a rich nation as such ; and as if it would be as useless and as unjust for the manufacturer to murmur at it, as for a farmer to re monstrate against the blight of the spring or the smut of the harvest; whereas it was his duty to have dwelt in detail on the conseqUences which would result from this annihilation of the fixed capital of any great branch of ma nufacturing industry. He should have demonstrated the mischievous effects that must inevitably arise from the de struction of that most invaluable of all capital in a commer cial country—Us machinery, the great mine of all its wealth. With regard to the workmen, which this revul sion, as it is called, throws out of employ, from the easy way in which this point is disposed of, their fate is not made to excite any sot t of sympathy, nor is the event itself looked upon with any sort of alarm ; and this happens from its being put before the reader as if it were the case o' a single workman—" the clothing, the food, end the lodg ing of the labourer in oat employment may be devoted t ) the support of Me labourer in another; or the same labourer may receive the same food, clothing, end lodging, whilst his employment u changed." Now, it is true that there' . ••••••5 I will not be much di ffi culty in a pplyi ng t h e f unds which subsisted one workman to the support of anollter in a iliTer ent description of employment, nor for an individ ua l thrown out of one branch of industry to get . his bread in some other. But when, as in the silk trade, you destroy a staple manufacture, and , throw at least tArce 11140thrd 11,4. sand workmen nut of employ, from what source can they be supplied with NTNE 3111.1.10N:4, paid as the wars of their labour, and with which they were dallied, and fr*ed, and fid? Now is this mass of the population to fence against the misery that must overtake them? It is very easy to dispose of these nine millions upon paper to ti, e maintenance of operatives in some other employment, b ut in the reality of life distress is not so readily remcv,d. The political economist treads opon velvet in all his sprrn lations. Judging from his statement, we should be led to imagine that the population, in whatever numbers thiy were thrown out of employ, had no further concern than to turn their industry into some other channel, aireays (Ten !J 1/,cm. But alas ! this is sadly the reverse of the feet. When the manufacturing community is once throw n into disorder, the remedy is not easily within reach, and the community is soon made to feel that the reasenlog s of the theorist are not trust-worthy. We are far from denying to Mr. RTCARDO a very con. siderable share of talent; we honor his memory, and have no wish to displace him from the rank he holds in the esti mation of his disciples ; hut where the great mercantile interests of the country are at stake, all his doctrines which interfere with them must be content to undergo a severe and scropnlous investigation, and to this investigation we shall have occasion to subject them. If the old commercial system is to be set aside, it is important that we should look well to the new materials with which it is to be replaced. It may be that they are greatly superior ; if so, they will the better bear the scrutiny. In all great changes it is wise to leave as little as possible to accident. That we have made a considerable advance, of late years, in the science of politics, all must admit, and we would willingly do all we could to aid its further progress. Some there are, how. ever, who have studied the subject with philosophical at. tention, who fear that we are not yet ripe for the applica tion of those principles which, in another era, and under different circumstances, might be acted upon with advan tage. Upon this point we will offer no opinion. Our only task will be, to bring the system, as much as possible, within the limits of fair investigation. To treat the principles not as a subject of party controversy, but of impartial de eussion, and to examine them in all the difficult and hn pcHrtant relations in which they present themselves. When we next recur to the subject, which we shall do in a day or two, we shall examine the doctrines of Mr. RI• C•ELDO on the subject of a Ace trade in Corn. CITY, SATURDAY EVINIRG. There were considerable transactions in the British Funds this morning, which had at their first opening an evident tendency to improve; but from the circumstance of sever al commercial failures having been r plred—at least tint was the reason assigned fur the subl,:(Lomt depru.sion, ard we are inclined to believe it the trua one—Cunsols declined, and with them every other security. The embarrassments that were spoken of to-day woul I, in ordinary times, have had no effect whatever on the markets, but the recent alarm has left them in that agitated state, that any unfavourable circumstance, of the moat trivial kind, now depr,:sses them. However, this is one of the many evil results that must accrue from the late frightful convulsion, and it will probably be a length of time before it passes away. The transactions in Consols at one part of the day were very considerable. Business was done briskly in them on their opening at which price continued for some time, but afterwards they declined for the present Account to Si and closed at 11.

It was understood that Count Eleven, the Russian Am bassador, received despatches from his Government yester day morning, brought by a courier to his Excellency's house in Dover -street, Piccadilly. They were, it is to be presumed, of much importance, as his Excellencyproceeded shortly afterwards to the Secretary of State's Office far . Foreign Affairs, in Downing-street, for the purpose of communicating with Mr. Secretary Canning; but the Right Hon. Gentleman having some time previous left town for Windsor, his Excellency remained for about half an hour, between two and three t; clock, with Mr. Planta, the Under Secretary of State.
