Mr. Caron said it was not the pleasure ?f his Excellency to announce to them the object of their being called together until they had elected a Speaker. The gentlemen returned to their own house, when Mr. hincks proposed that Mr. J. S. Macdonald should ba elected Speaker. Mr. Morin seconded the. motion, which was carried on a divi s ion by a vote of 55 to 23. Peru; but it appears to Lord Palmerston that their proximity to Peru would give to that sate a prima facie claim to them." Now, it is certain that the fact does not, under the rule of public law, bear out this last observation of Lord Palmerston, because the distance from the shore of all these islands is five or six times greater than the three marine miles extend. It may be here added that it is well understood that a powerful class of British subjects, distinct from those of merchants and farmers, has a vital interest in maintaining the regulations for the export of guano from Peru upon their present foot ing. It may not be entirely satisfactory, therefOre, to take the case of the Campeadora, or that of the Hi bernia, which afterwards occurred, alone into consider ation, in endeavouring to account fur the policy which the British Government has thought proper to adopt in regard to the subject. However this may be, it is quite clear that the English case and the American case are are quite different for the reasons already stated. As has been shown, the rtprosentatives of the American Government in Peru remonstrated against the issuing of the decree of 1833. And it is a consideration of very great weight in this case that the main object of that decree, as it fully appears, was to drive off from the coasts and islands of Peru, including of course those of Lobos, the fishing vessels of the Unit:d States. Now s if such w ere t h e so l e or pr i nc ip a l object of, the decree — and the a gent o f the U n i te d St a t e s formally remon strated ag a i nst that decree—how i s t h e subsequent con ducthad o re thatra n she d citizensheorf really entire the supposed u n silence ite d t herselfsot States t e e s r , possessed e c o b n u c t i le d suffered with the e ideassel of P things to go on a s th ey of absolute sov ere i gnty over those islands ? She cer tainly made no attempt to enforc e that d ecree a gainst v course of years. The undersigned has th us far spoken of the actua l f ac t s and continued usage whi c h h e sepnoses to belong to t h e gone on through a long j U 3 t consideration of his case. MR. WEBSTER and the LOBOS ISLANDS. On the 233 ult. the n tg foliow • letter from Mr. Webster on the Lobos Island question was laid be fore the Senate by the President Department of State, Washingron,:— Aug. 21, 1851. The undersigned, Secretary of State of the United States, has the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the se veral communications of Mr. Osma, Charge d'Affaires of Peru, of the 25 th June, 3d Jul and the 9th instant. The first mentioned of these i, communications,. however, did not come to his knowledge until the a ft e r he had left Washington for a sho r t absence. o July, v ery much regrets that circumstances have prevented eelle an ear lier answer to these several communications; b they all relate to the same subject, all will now receive as ea s common reply. In the first place, the undersigned will remark to Mr. Osma, that the Government of the United States has not now, nor over has had, any intention to facilitate the particular purpose of any persons such as Mr. Osma calls speculators, further than those purposes are con formable to public law, as well as to the laws of the United States. This Government knows of no com panies, no associations, and no individuals in whose be half it undertakes any special protection. The question is a general one, in which all the citizens of the United States engaged in commerce have an interest. and that interest Is equally respected by the United States, re gardless of individuals. In the next place, the undersigned expresses the hope that it was not Mr. Osma's purpose, by any expression in his note of the 9th instant, to convey any intimation that the proceedings:of this Government, in regard to the subject, have been influenced in the slightest degree by any conviction of the relative strength or weakness of the parties. Such an intimation, if intended to be made, would require no refutation, since all the world knows the manner in which the republics of South America, formed out-of the ancient possessions of Spain, have been treated by this Government, from their earliest origin to the present day. The undersigned will make a further remark, to pre vent mistake and misunderstanding, upon Mr. Osma's observation upon the conversation between him and the undersigned, in the department of state, on the tad of July; and that is, that the supposed discovery of Cap tain Morrell, mentioned in that conversation, was not relied upon by the undersigned as founding an exclu sive right to the Lobos Islands on the part of the United It was only mentioned as a fact fit to be con- The States. sidred in common with other facts and occurrences. e truth appears to be that Captain Morrell was on a voyage of discovery, and did, in fact, discover, or was supposed to have discovered, guano on these islands. It is certain that no book generally known and circu lated in this country.mentioned the fact of the existence of guano on these islands until Captain Morrell's nar rative was published in 1832. After these preliminary remarks, the undersigned now proceeds to the consideration of the mein subject. In his several communications Mr. Osma asserts the right of Peru to all the Lobos islands, on the ground that she has always e xercised authority over them; that they be es they formerly belonged to Spain; and long to Fern , that from time immemorial the Peruvian Indians have been in the habit of visiting them for the purpose of catching seals , killing birds, and gathering eggs, and that this exclusive right to the islands by Peru has never been doubted or disputed. The question is, are these unqualified declarations of Mr. Oema strictly accurate? The Lobos, or Seal Islands, as t h e ir name imports , lie i n the o p en Pacific Ocean, the nearest of They are, ar. Os admits, mere barren rocks in the sea, uninhabited and uninha bitable. Fisheries and the pursuit of amphibious animals, especially the seal, have long been carried on around their shores, and even on those shores them selves; since it is well known that seals are usually taken and killed upon the land. In these pursuits, and in this use of the islands, citizens of the United States were engaged for half a century before any actual interruption took place by the Peruvian Government, or any body else; their visits to them having commenced at least as early as 1793 . All this is well known to the commercial world. No w, it is q uite certain that if Peru held and possessed full sovereignty over these islands, this fishing near the shore, and this pursuit and killing of amphibious animals upon the laud, was as much an invasion of that sovereignty as is the taking of guano from them now. Nor was the case so unimportant as that Peru might have regarded this use of the islands by citizens of the United States es an indulgence merely, supposing her to possess the exclusive right, since the pursuit and destruction of seals, which have at last ter minated in their almost entire disappearance, must have been a matter of much importance to her Government. Nevertheless, no complaint was made of this course of things, nor say interruption attempted or threatened until September, 1833, in which month, as it would now appear, a decree was issued by the Peruvian Govern ment, prohibiting foreigners from fishing for seals and amphibious animals on the shores and islands of Peru, and declaring that the captains of foreign vessels who evaded the order should be considered as smugglers. It ' is important to observe that this decree was issued after the publication of Captain Morrell's narrative. This decree was sudden and unexpected, and, there fore, the Chargé d'Affaires of the United States at Lima was under the necessity of acting upon it without orders from his own Government. He immediately addressed a note on the subject to the Minister of Foreign Rela tions of Peru, in which, without formally denying the original right of Peru, he requested a reconsideration of the decree, or that it might be so far modified as to per mit to the citizens of the United States the pursuit of an occupation which they had been allowed quietly to fol low for a number of years, and adding that the decree could not but be regarded as unfriendly to the Govern ment of the United States. So far as is known to the undersigned, no answer or reply was ever made to this remonstrance, and it is certain that the citizens of the United States continued to pursue their usual avocations without interruption, notwithstanding this decree. If such an interruption had been made by the Peruvian authorities, it would at once have brought the question of the sovereignty of Peru over the Lobos Islands to the attention of this Government, as happened a tew years before in the case of the right of the Government of the Argentine Confederation to claim sovereignty over the Falkland Islands. It is true that the decree of 1833 makes no particular mention of the Lobos Islands, but it is directed generally against fishing on the coasts and islands of Peru. Nevertheless this cannot be regarded as affecting the general right of citizens of the United States, founded on long and undisputed usage. Here, then, is a formal remonstrance on the part of the United States against the asserted sovereignty of Peru over the Lobos Islands. to which no answer, so far as it appears, was given, nor an intimation made that notwithstanding this remonstrance the decree would be enforced. It is quite evident that, although the decree is general in its terms, it was intended to be levelled especially against citizens of the United States, as the subjects of other countries did not partake to any consi• derable extent in the fisheries which were prohibited. Can Mr. Osma's averment, therefore, be maintained, in which he asserts the universal and absolute sovereignty of Peru never to have been denied or questioned by any Government. And if Peru has suffered these barren rocks to be visited and used by citizens of the United States for a lung course of time, and for all the purposes for which they were known to be valuable, is the case aliered when they are found capable of a new use? Is not the natural inference either that Peru never claimed any exclusive right over the islands, or that, if such claim had been made by any formal or official act of the Government, such claim had been abandoned, at least so far as citizens of the United States were concerned. Mr. Osma refers to a decision of the English Govern ment, and observes that as both the mercantile and agri cultral classes in the British empire have a strolls" in terest adverse to the claim of Peru, if the British Go vernment has decided in favour of that claim, that deci sion must be ascribed to considerations sufficient to outweigh a regard fur the interests of British farmers and shipowners. But the two cases may justly be considered as essentially different. When the decree of 1833 ap peared, Mr. Wilson, the British Consul-General at Lima, in a communication to his Government, said :—" For many years no British vessel has been engaged in this fishery, but great abuses have been committed by Ame rican vessels; " and the year afterwards, writing upon the subject of the British schooner Campeadora for kill ing seals at the Lobos Islands, be admitted the right of Peru to those islands. At the same time he adds:— " Lord James Townshend, the commander of his Ma jesty's naval forces in the Pacific, takes a different view of the question; and he himself told me that he consi dered that his Majesty's subjects had a positive right of fishery on all these islands, unless they should be ac tually occupied by some Peruvian authority, or protected by the constant presence of some Peruvian man-of-war to warn off vessels. It will be borne in mind that when the case of the Campeadora occurred, the use and, perhaps, even the value of guano as a manure was unknown in England. Before that case was d e cided, however, the British . G overnment may be said to have been irr evoca bl y co mmitted to the acknowledgment of the right of Peru to the Lobos Islands by their acquiescence in the opinions expressed by Mr. Wilson, their diplomatic agent, and the a nswer to that communication from the Foreign-office, for in that answer, under date 30th Aueust, 1834, Lord Pal" morston said—" It would, thegfore, aear that th e pp Peruvian Government have a right to prohibit foreign vessels from fishing upon th e coast immediately atiOlt" ing to those islands, as well as upon the coasts o( Peru itself, there being no evidence in the papers which .

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY MORNING.—The steam-ship Africa, Captain Harrison, which left New York on the 25th ult. arrived here at half-past 12 A.M., this day, bringing four days' later news, 45 passengers, and 635,000 dollers in specie. The Collins steam ship Atlantic arrived at New York on the 22d ult., in 11 days from this port. There was nothing of any importance going for ward in regard to the fisheries question. A document had been published in Washington, giving an official return of vessels which had been captured since 1817, one year before the ratification of the treaty between Great Britain and the United States, in relation to the fisheries. By this we find that 25 vessels were seized between the years 1817 and 1821, 22 of which were restored, and but three condemned. Between 1821 and 1851, 35 vessels were seized, four of which only were restored, and 31 condemned. Mr. John Livingston, bearer of dispatches from Mr. Lawrence, United States Minister at London, to the Government at Washington, in a speech at a din ner given by Captain West, on board the Atlantic, on the 21st ult., said that he felt sure that if no collision had taken place before the delivery of his dispatches, there was scarcely the probability of any occurring upon this question. From Washington we learn that Mr. Webster was to leave Washington in a few days for Marshfield, with the intention of returning in a month or six weeks. It seems to be understood, says a Washing ton letter, that he has relinquished his purpose of retiring from the Department of State, and will con tinue a member of the Administration until the close of Mr. Fillmore's term, unless some unforeseen exigency should occur. The fact that Mr. Webster obtains his own consent to be absent, gives some assurance of itself that those questions of foreign relations which have engaged attention for some time past, and occasioned some anxiety in the public mind, have lost their seriousness, and are not likely to dis turb the tranquillity of the country in any way. Indeed, there is much better reason than this mere inference to believe that these affairs are in such a position as to preclude all apprehension whatever. The false alarms which are daily issued from this point in the shape of telegraphic bulletins, are but so many weak inven tions—small bubbles that burst almost as soon as they are filled. A panic is not as easily manufactured now a days as newsmongers suppose, and it requires some thing more than flaming capitals to make people believe the nation can be hurried into war, because diplomatists require time to straighten their crooked paths. The Hon. J. R. Ingersoll, of Philadelphia, has been confirmed by the Senate as Minister to England, vice Lawrence resigned. Congress was mainly engrossed with the appropriation Bills and works of internal im provement. The President had transmitted to the Senate a message on the Lobos 'elands guano ques tion. He argues the right of the United States to go there for guano, but official action in the premises, he says, is suspended. The message was accompanied by a communication from the Peruvian Minister as to the claims of his Government. The President has given instructions to the American Minister at Lima that orders be given to the naval force there to pre vent any collision until a further examination into the state of the case. No countenance is to be given to ,' the authors o f enter p rises undertakin g to defend I themselves. Another disgraceful personal dispute has occurred in the Lower House, out of .which it was expected aduel would ensue. The following is re ported as the scene : " Mr. Polk—For fear of misapprehension, I tell the gentleman he is a liar. " A dozen gentlemen jumped to their feet, while others called to order, and there was the greatest con fusion, amid which Mr. Chandler said the scene was disgraceful, and moved, in a loud tone, that the commit tee rise, and there were cries of ' Agreed, agreed,' ' Order, order.' The chairman banged with his gavil, and by this time everybody was on tiptoe. (Cries of ' Down in front; ' Order.') Bang, bang went the hammer. condenses a fires, " Mr. Polk refused to give way to Chandler, saying, 'I I have the floor.' " Mr.,Bailey, of Va., said the motion of Mr. Chandler would not affect the object desired. " The Chairman said the motion of the gentleman could not be entertained, Mr. Polk not yielding the floor for that purpose. " Mr. Chandler—The language used in this house is irritating—leading to quarrels and perhaps to bloodshed. 1 I appeal to the house to sustain its dignity—such pro ceedings are disgraceful. " The excitement soon subsided. ' 6 Mr. Polk continued his speech in praise of Pierce, and in detraction of Scott—representing the latter in anything but a becoming light. " Mr. Cullom asked leave to snake a personal expla nation. " Mr. Stuart objected, only on the ground that the general discussion had terminated by previous order of the House. " To accommodate Mr. Cullom, the Corn mittee rose, when that gentleman expressed his regret that he should occupy one moment of the time of the House; at a pe riod, too, when they were about to shake hands and return to their homes. He had been respectful and kind to all Whigs and Democrats, and had given no occasion to his colleague for an attack. ~ M r . Polk here explained, saying ho alluded to what Cullom said at the City-Hall, when he charged Pierce with cowardice. " Mr. Cullom replied, that he blushed to-day at the conduct of his colleague. " The Speaker —The gentleman is out of order. e Ai n Cullom—DlY remarks shall be kind. My col league has sought a kind of notoriety I do not envy. Ile has been rigging himself into every speech delivered hero, and his hand is against every man. He assails on the right and on the left, and I am astonished at the forbearance of gentlemen. " Mr. Polk (in his seat) —I said you are a liar, and I say so again. " Mr. Cullom --I will not assail the gentleman outside i t s utter contempt; and as to of the record ; but when he trameles on my sacred honour, I wil let him know that I hold him and his braegedocio bullying Governor Jones, I will merely repeat the charge against him is a libel, and the statement is a vile and infamous slander. I cannot suppose the democracy has put the gentleman forward to denounce General Scott as a vain, foolish man, and void of all patriotism, and honour. lam not afraid this will ruin Scott's fame. High as my colleague's reputation is, he cannot damage General Scott. Scott was a liar, and others " Mr. Polk—l do not say Scott was a coward, but that there is evidence to show that Pierce was a coward; for if Pierce was a coward, who say so are liars. " Mr. Cullom said the gentleman has qualified hi e expression. I heard no man denounce Pierce as a coward at the meeting alluded to. I merely referred to a historical fact, namely, that Pierce's horse stumbled, and Pierce fainted . I advise my colleague to get some glue and stick himself to his seat, and maintain his dignity. I think it unfortunate that my colleague alluded to the Mexican war, and that his reference to Santa Anna was wrong, considering the gentleman's relations to the Administration under which it was con ducted." n p e e , n O d fi pending Steam-boat bill, a b s il p i, re w p h a i r c e h d e S w te Y a against substi tuteM f r o . r i3 th: the whole subject into a very comprehensible arid easily understood form. Instead of undertaking to enter into the details of machinery, prescribing tests for iron plates, aad regulating other matters, whi c h none but practical and scientific men really under- stand, he purposes to fix penalties for explosions, and the like, which will protect the public these occurrences. It provides that, in every case where life is destroyed from these causes, the pro prietors and owners of steam-boats shall be liable to a fine of 1,000 dolls. for each life, and imprisonment, ranging from one to ten years. The U. S. district attorney being required to prosecute, on the finding of the coroner's jury. The captains, pilots, and engi neers, are also made liable to fine and imprisonment. One great difficulty in all laws imposing pains and penalties has consisted in the fact, that some loop. hole of escape was allowed —the general requisition relieving all individual responsibility. In the pre sent case, however, the accountability is positive and fixed. The law officer of the Government must pro secute, or he must answer for the neglect. The Webster men were working with unwonted vigour in Massachussetts. Two thousand names i n favour of a Webster ticket were said to be enrolled in Boston per day. has written a letter, in Senator Wade, of Ohio, which he denies that General Scott informed him that he would " sooner cut off his right hand than lend i t to the support of slavery." Still more dreadful acci dents are recorded—e steamer burst h boiler near St. Louis on the 221-30 persons were scalded, nine killed and six missing. A skiff was upset on the Hudson, at Albany, the same day, and two lives were lost. The announcement, that Captain Maray and his command of 80 men, had been murdered by Indians, is at last contradicted on the most undoubted au thority. Mr. thanks spoke generally of Macdonalfs fitness for the office. The debate was not remarkable. Mr. H. Smith was the only member who spoke against the Government motion. The House then adjourned. The following day, his Excell ency procee ded, at three o'clock, to the Legislative C ounc il Chambers, and having taken his seat upon the throne, com manded the attendance of the Legislative Assembly. The members of that body, preceded by their Speaker, the Hon. J. S. Macdonald, speedily appeared at the bar. The Hon. J. S. Macdonald i n f orme d his Ex cellency that the choice of the A ssem bl y b a d fallen upon him to be their Speaker, and h e crave d for the members the customary privile ges, a f ter w hi c h his Excellency was pleased to deliver the following speech : " Hon. Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, and Gen tlemen of the House of Assembly— " I have much pleasure in meeting you, in order that we may unite our endeavours for the promotion of the interests of the province. " Notwithstanding the deep interest occasioned by a general election ; the utmost tranquillity has, I am happy to inform you, prevailed throughout the province during the period which has elapsed since the 'close of the last session of Parliament. " I am enabled, under these favourable circumstances, again to congratulate Parliament on the prosperity of the province. Provincial securities continue to rise steadily in value, and the returns of the census recently com pleted, furnish most satisfactory evidence of the advance ment of the colony in wealth and population. " The estimated deficiency in the postal revenue has not been exceeded, although greatly extended communi cation has been afforded to the public by the establish ment of additional post offices and increased postal ser vices. There is reason to believe that before long the receipts of the department will balance the expenditure. " Another heavy calamity has, however, I am greatly concerned to state, befallen the province in the destruc tion by fire of a large portion of the important city of Montreal. lam confident that you will bestow your best consideration on any measures that may be proposed to you for the purpose of mitigating its effects. "The importance of placing the currency of British North America on a uniform basis, and of introducing the decimal system, has been frequently recognised by Parliament. A measure will be submitted for your con sideration which will, I have reason to believe, promote the accomplAiment of these objects. " I shall cause such accounts to be placed before you as will put you fully in possesion of the steps which I have taken during the recess, with the view of giving effect to the intentions of the Legislature, embodied in the acts passed last session for promoting the construction of railways. I have endeavoured, in these proceedings, to act in so far as circumstances have permitted, in concert with the Lieutenant-Governors of the lower provinces. In connexion with these works, and with the subject of public improvements generally, the position of bonds issued on the credit of the muni cipalities of Upper Canada merits attention. The secu rity offered to holders of such bonds under the Munici pal veryA c t a s m n p o l w e in an f d orc s e a i t i n s f t a li c a t t o r part e o s f e r t i h p improbable, however, that your wisdom may devise measures which, without materially altering their cha racter, may tend to enhance their value in the market. "The importance of establishing direct steam commu nication between Great Britain and the ports of Quebec and Montreal has been repeatedly pressed on the Go vernment by persons interested in the commerce of the province. The subject, which has a material bearing on the prospects of emigration, and the reduction of freights in the St. Lawrence, has engaged my attention during the recess. A plan for the attainment of the object in view, which will, I trust, meet your approbation, will be submitted for your consideration. " I shall lay before you a dispatch which I have re ceived from the principal Secretary of State for the Co lonies, communicating the views of the Imperial Govern ment in reference to the clergy reserves, and stating the grounds on which her Majesty's Ministers refrained from introducing a measure into the Imperial Parliament during its last session for the repeal of the Imperial sta tute on this subject. " Gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly,— " The condition of the revenue is satisfactory, and indicates general prosperity among the consuming po pulation of the province. " I shall direct the accounts forlhe past, and the estimates for the current year to be laid before you; and I rely on your readiness to grant such supplies as may be necessary for the maintenance of the province, and the efficiency of the public service. " Honourable Gentlemen and Gentlemen,— " Various subjects of much importance to the interests of the province will, no doubt, engage your attention during the session which is now commencing. 64 An addition to the representation seems to be called for by the incresing population of the province, and the r apid development of same of i ts more rec ently settled districts.

Mr. Osma, in his reetnt communication, refers to the authority of Alcedo to prove that th6se islands are within the sovereignty of Peru, and have always been so considered. In the decision of a question purely geographical, "re p luting ee iaii y t o t e a n t y h at part formerlyofth e A n n m d e e r r i c a t h n 0 d pecially anystion other poli tical of the undersigned acknowledges that AlocniedinoiiosneonftiStlpeaditno, th a xi lm r. o o st s i m m a p r li e c f i e t r c s r h fi e den w c a e s ; s b p u e t sh in in the m p e a r s ee s l a y ge to whi c h cally.

Alcedo therefore describes the Lobos Islands as belonging to the coast and to a particular province of Peru. The fact ' that they are islands, however, leaves the question open as to the distance between them and the coast of Peru, and he se, ms to have taken it for granted that because they happened to be the risarea to the province of Sena, they were . necessarily included :within the limits of Chet province; a proposition which cannot be supported. Ia this case, therefore, the authority of Alcedo cannot be regarded as decisive. In order teat it should be so l:rd the s as t a h purposevee impartedhabitual o f considered, the undersigned must be in formed what acts of jurisdiction his Catholic Majesty exercise d over those government uniteds te islands. The occasional visits of Indians from the neigh bouring continent, to which Mr. Ostea refers, cannot be said to h Staten, o s t , good a title to those is - Peru, even as i e ,pr e t . u o s or ir t u h t g e t hsiet sovereign ha leso on f theirt h o ef svesselsh Spain,or e so. f the andtt h e e so long and uninterruptedly continued , t risales in the adjacent ocean, would give to the United States. The use of these islands by the Peruvian In dians for the last half century has no doubt been vastly less than by the citizens of the United States; and, upon the ground of Mr. Osma's argument, a better title could be asserted by possession on the part of the United States than could be maintained by Peru. The undersigned freely admits that acts of the Peru vian Government, founded on supposed rights, when not objected to, are fit to be regarded as having more or less weight on the question of right, so far as that right de pends upon possession. If, therefore, it be asked why this Government did not also protest against the Peru visa decrees of the 21st of March and 10th of May, 1842, by the 15th article of the former and the 3d of the latter, of which the penalty of confiscation is denounced against any national or foreign vessel which shall an chor at or approach the islands or places in which there may be guano, without the usual licence from the au thorities empowered to issue the same, it may be an swered that the very existence of those decrees was not known to this Government until they appeared in the British Parliamentary documents on the subject of the Lobos Islends, presented to the House of Commons on the 14th of May last. There is nothing which the un dersigned can find in the dispatches of the Charge d'Af faires of the United States at Lima to show that the de crees were communicated to or known to him. If these decrees had been known here at an earlier date, they I would have received the attention of this Government. As to the claim of Peru to th ose islands, fotauded on the law of proximity, the qu estion will a p pear to be free of doubt. The !well-settle d rule of modern p ublic law on this point is, that the rig ht of jurisdiction of any nation, who se territories may b order on the sea, extends to the distance of a cannon sh ot, or three marine miles, from the shore, viz , the Lobos Islands lying a defence of the coast, from the land itself, can be ex tended. The whole discussion, therefore, must turn upon this, this being the supposed limit to which from any continental possessions of Peru, as not to bein the open ocean, so far be long to that country by the law of proximity or adjact position, has the Government of that country exercised such unequivocal acts of absolute sovereignty and ownfr possession, as against the U ship over them as give to her a right to their exclusive zsns, by the law of indisputable possession? And the undersigned repeats that this whonot a question between oited States . and their citi- Peru and other Governments, may have more or less distincly admitted her right, but it is a question between Peru and the United States, who have so long exercised that rio-ht, and remonstrated against its interruption.

A few months ago it was purchased by Mr. Philip Salo ons High Sheriff of Sussex, who has since been preparing Salo itfor, his family res idence. Carpenters, paper-hargers, and painters had possession of the premises ; irr and only on one e Friday last a consig nment of glass mors, the larg ever brought into Brighton, arrived from London per Pickford and Co., but were sent back in consequence of a mistake in the execution of the order. The workmen left as usual on Friday evening; and nothing amiss was ob served till four o'clock on Saturday morning, when a market gar a "" from Sompting, on his way to market, observed s moke issuing from the top o[ the house and gave an alarm. The Brunswick-square water - hose and the Brighton fire engines were on the spot as quickly as possible ; but no water was obtainable, as the water company's turncock had to be aroused from his sleep nearly two miles off. It was soon seen that the house of Mr. Salomons, No. 26, was doomed ; and the efforts of the firemen were then directed to the - joiningad houses. One of them , No . 25, the property of r Maxse, had just been thoroughly repaired, papered, and painted, and a portion of the furniture was expected to ar rive on Saturday. The fire broke through into an upper room of this house and destroyed it, and the water used in extinguishing the flames has considerably damaged the ceilings below, besides destroying the paper and paint. No -27, the house on the other side, was inhabited by Mrs. Nichols and family, who escaped in their night clothes, and were kindly received by Lady Rosse, a neighbour. Of 25, nothing remains but the outer walls; 26 and 27 are consi erably injured. No. 26 is insured in the Alliance Fire office ; No. 25, in the Sun. The centre house is said to be damaged to the extent of 3,000/. DEATH FROM JUMPING OFF SHAKSPEARE'S CLIFF. --A. coroner's inquest was held before G. T. Thompson, Esq., at the military hospital at the castle, on Monday last, on the body of a private of the 30th depot, named Edward Dunn, who had met his death by jumping off the summit of ShaksPere's Cliff on the previous evening. The body pre. sented a revolting spectacle, the skull and several of the limbs being much disfigured, doubtless occasioned by the unfortunate man coining in contact with the jagged portions of the cliff in the course of his descent. Henry fiampstin, a private 30th depots said—l knew deceased perfectly well. Yesterday, about a quarter to twelve, I saw bhn in the cook ing-room at the barracks, when in the course of our conver sation he said, " I am deranged in my mind, Hampstin ; it is more than I can bear." I asked him what was the innocent mat ter, but he did no t tell me; he only said, Some blood will be shed to-night, and God help the poor soul who has to stiffer for it." I was then called to go upon guard, when he wished me " good bye." This was an unusual thing. I did not speak to him afterwards. His manner seemed very wild when talking to me. I have written let ters for the deceased to his wife at Bristol, and read those written by her to himself.

From the names of the gentlemen who took an active part in getting up this manifestation of regard for his Excellency, there can be no mistske as to the estima tion in which his administration is held by the intel ligent and respectable porticn of the community. H e has given great satisfaction by the trouble he has taken to make himself acquainted with the wants of the colony, and the care he has manifested to improve the internal condition of affairs. Such a demonstra tion of respect for a Governor had not been known, according to the statement of the Hon. T Thomas. Bell, senior member of council, during his residence in the island, a period of 39 years. The new H o use of Assembly is going on in the same reckless manner as the former House. They declare that they have but one article of produce— one means of making money, and that it costs more they go on imposi ng taxes with as much indu str y as to produce it tha n it w ill bring in the market y et if they w i were in the m os t fl o urishing circumstances , and as f taxation was a matter of mere moonshine. A. Bill has passed through several of its stages to give a salary to the Speaker, who has only been in office two or three weeks . It pa sse d some of its stages in a house of nine members, of which the Speaker and three of his brothers made four out of seven who voted for the measure. It was strongly opposed by the Attorney-General and one other member, but with out success ; the Speaker and his three b ro th e rs were too much interested in the Bill to be influenced by argument. - - JAMAICA. The news from Jamaica is to the 11th ult. The Legislature would meet, it was expected, in the early part of October. From one end of the island to the other, the smallpox still prevailed, and in many parts the mortality was very great. the The cholerail a ant and want of lab our , conseq uent upon the ravag es made amongst the interest was suffering sadly from the ugst the labouring portion of the pop ulation b y small-pox.

The business done in import, since our issue of the 26th ult. has been of the usual restricted character; even the advent of another anniversary of freedom has failed to impart the increased, though temporary, activity usual at this season. Supplies of dry and pickled WI are ample, with a very limited demand, in consequence of the continuance of disease in the city and neighbouring parishes. Flour has been in good inquiry; but meal, owing principally to the rather free receipts, has de - clined in value. Sugar and rum are in demand at higher rates, and prices are likely to be firmly maintained. We regret to add in addition to the fact noticed in a previous number with reference to the loss of the pi mento crop of St. Ann's, that a corresponding decrease is anticipated in that of St. Elizabeth's. The provisoes, generally, are being visited with fertilizing showers, and in some districts the native vegetables are being rapidly matured in consequence. In Manchester and Westmore land, eepecially, the yield of yams, &c., promises to be very plentiful. Alewives are unsaleable, with a very ample stock. Butter—The market has been very quiet. Some small sales of Cork seconds are reported at I Id. American may be quoted at 9d. to 90. There is not any Halifax at market. Beef—The last sale was that of a parcel of 80 half barrels. Halstead's at 545. Smith's was sold as the same rate, but 535. was accepted for a lot of 40 half barrels partly dry. Brandy—Only retail operations are effected. We may quote Martell's dark at ss. 9d., and pale at Gs. per gallon, short price. Bread—No wholesale operations either in imported or domestic have transpired. Cornmeal—The stock has been rather largely in creased, and prices have fallen fully ls. per barrel since our last. The most recent transactions were at 225. Coffee is not obtainable.
