ItEPRESENTAT/ON OF SOUTH DEVON. (From the Western Times.) EXETEIt, JAN. 7, 1837.—We learn that the meeting at Totnes on Monday next, for the purpose of taking steps to secure the rejection of N. E. N. Parker, Esq., will be most numerously attended. The Hon. Chairman, Stanley Cary, Esq , and the gentlemen who co-operate with him, have been indefatigable in their exertions. It would be prema ture to enter into details : but we may state that none but a decided Reformer will be proposed. SLIGO-SATURDAY. (rnom A CORRESPONDENT.) The example of the good men of Longford has not been lost upon us : we are anxious to throw off the galling y o k e of Toryism which has long oppressed us, and we are accord ingly making active preparations to send that blundering bigot, Colonel Percival, into his native obscurity on the very first occasion which presents itself. For a series of years the popular party in this county feared that any effort to dislodge our Orange Misrepresentatives would be worse than vain, and hence men without the slightest qualification for the situation to which they aspired, were quietly per mitted to usurp and retain them. Now, however, a new light has broken in upon us, and I am happy to assure the friends of Reform, that in a very little time the Imperial Parliament will be relieved from the presence of the Ex- Secretary of the Ordnance, and its Members spared the pain of hearing every rule of Lindley Murray cruelly mur dered by this aspiring senator. The work proceeds glori ously at the registry. After the present Sessions, notwith standing all the difficulties thrown in our way, and despite the efforts of a knot o f i gnorant Tory bigots, we will have a clear majority of electors, exceeding 70, besides a number of appeals from the decisions of that most sapient, most learned, and most impartial of Assistant Barristers, Mr. i-lartslonge Robinson, who was described by Mr. O'Con in the House of Commons, as the moral agent of Lord Farnham in the work of the Second Reformation. The ground is contested every inch at the Court House ; both sides concurring in the sentiment expressed by Sir Ro bert Peel, that the battle of the Constitution must be fought at the registries. For the Conservatives Messrs. Baker and Walker appear as Counsel ; for the Reformers Messrs. Monahan, Casserly, and Ramsay. Messrs. Baker and Casserly have just gone out to decide an affair of ho nour, originating in some expressions in the heat of discus sion. I have not heard the result. It is scarcely worth noticing the conduct of our Town Member, Mr. John Mar tin, who, returned by the radical party at the last election, acted the part of Jim Crow, and "wheeled about and turned about" the convenient tool of the Peel Administration. This gentleman walks the plank as soon as a dissolution of Par liament takes place, and will give way to Mr. Jones, jun., of Banada, the son of our excellent and popular High She riff. If anything were wanting to inspire us with confidence tare will find it in the presence of the Learned Member for Kilkenny, who has kindly accepted an invitation to a pub lic dinner on Tuesday, the 24th inst. PEMBROKE-SIR J. OWEN. At a meeting at Pembroke, on the 26th of December last, which was attended by gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood of both parties, to propose an Address to Sir John Owen, Bart., whose PRIVATE character, as well as several other persons, had been attacked ON OATH, re garding the Charitable Trusts, the following observations fell from Mr. LAWSE (who does not mix himself up with the politics of the County), and whose name was introduced in the libel referred to—some persons having misrepresented what he stated to his prejudice. " Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen—You have heard the requisition read—this is not a political meeting, if it was, Whig or Tory, I would not appeal to it ; therefore, it will only be honest in me to state my opinion of Charitable Trusts. I do not approve of these Trusts being in the hands of any set of men having the same principles in po litics, unless it was the desire of the Charitable donor ; for who will say that every man has not a right to do ' what he likes with his own,' as long as it is not a nu i sance t o hi s neighbour. Further I will not trespass on your time on this subject. " Gentlemen—We are met to propose an address to Sir John Owen, and I am sure we are right in expressing in this place our disgust and disapprobation at the malicious and villainous attack on the PRIVATE character of an ho nourable neighbour of ours—no less a person than the Lord-Lieutenant of the County. I can scarcely find words to show my abhorrence at this vile affair. I will appeal to the hearts of such of you as are husbands and fathers, what must have been the feelings of the wife and the children, when they heard of this attack on the husband and the father ? I declare a man who could concoct such a docu ment, afterwards deliberately swear to it, and then record it as evidence in the highest Court of Justice in the coun try, must have a heart as dark as the hat in my hand, or, I might say, he has no heart at all—allow me to use a simile I have heard in America, if you could turn him inside out wards, you would see him a man of another colour, although so fair the outward man. Mr. Perry is held up as the organ ; but are we to be told there are no others at the bellows? There are—and a pretty piece of discord has been produced in our sociable neighbourhood. These pig mies in tact and talent thought to ride themselves into con sequence, by traducing the characters of highly respectable individuals ; but they will find themselves a Corkhorse upon a broomstick. Gentlemen—lt grieves me whenever I have to censure any person—perhap s more so, when the parties are of my own station of life. Pray, do not believe I have entered into this discussion, because one of the par ties holds the exalted station of Lord-Lieutenant of the County. No, gentlemen, during my sojourn in this life, I bare endeavoured to keep in mind these hackneyed lines— ' Honour and shame from no condition rise, Act well your party there all the honour lies.' If Mr. Perry and his prompters had kept these lines in view, there would have been no occasion for this meeting to-day. Gentlemen—lt is my duty and inclination to state, that Mr. Thomas, a surgeon, at Pater, met m e t hi s morn ing, and distinctly denied any knowledge of the affidavit be fore us ; but he admitted being a party to give Mr. Perry the information in the last paragraph, where a gentleman pre sent is charged with perjury. I now thank you for so pa tiently hearing me." FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. JAMAICA. --- OPENING OF THE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY. (From Jamaica Papers received to the 25th of November.) Nov. I.—The House met agreeably to proclamation ; the Speaker took the Chair at three o'clock. Mr. Guy and Mr. Leslie, appointed a Committee to wa it upon his E xce ll ency the G overnor to inform him that the House had met according to his Majesty's proclamation, who, r e t urn i ng, reported that they had informed his Ex cellency th ereo f . appeared rhe P rovost Marshal Genera l i mm ediately aft erwar d s , at th e bar, and in his Majesty's nam e commanded h e immediate attendance of the House in thu Council cell a _ r nber, whereupon the House went over,. when Ex 'neY was pleased to open the session with the followi ng speech : " Gentlemen of the Council, " Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of tile House of As sembly, jCly happy i n mee ti ng y o u in session for the first vernm ent time since I hav e assume d t h e c h arge o f this important Go . di" I am deeply penetrated with all the r esponsibilities and fficulties I shall have to undertake ; but I feel confident m vereo your support an d i n your patriotism, to en able me to to rend er oine them, an d to encourage my unceas i ng e xer ti ons . 4 ' It is my government serviceable to your country. illy anxious hope, therefore, that all animosities will will no longer cease, that the seat e of Government be' consideredint a magazine of combustibles, hostile to your crests, because the times have dictated a course of Policy may . effecting many system. ny necessary changes in your social Gentlemen, The than country is represented to me as full of grievances ; Y, I to ac knowled ge I invite ou examine int seem of great difficulty. , Y they iony be o their cause and origin dispassionately, that presented 1,), cmornbated by joint exertions, and faithfully re- There has t e t o the King' s Ministers. two or three of the to complain of in the conduct of and apprentices ,_ sapecial magistrates in putting employers which has, in., Ina ' n n y instate of irritation against each other, harshness toward s th e tr e es* provoked more severity and " I am doing all I canoturers than ever existed in slavery.

I was then engagjd their in ti, e greal came in the Windward Gover n meta, and I felt under the greatest obligations to this island for her. promptitude. Deeply i s it t o be lamented that unfortunate feelings arose which prevented those modifications to your Act which experience has shown are still essential to the mutual interests of masters and servants. I will never believe that the gentlemen who then represented the interests of this Powerful colony have ever been indifferent to the ultimate success of those measures to which they so early gave effect, and I shall therefore not fail hereafter to propose to your consideration some suggestions of practical improve ment likely to put down complaints, and restore confidence and good will between proprietors and labourers. " There is, indeed, one most important subject which I cannot resist submitting. to your grave consideration. It is the religious and moral condition of the negroes. No man has had such opportunity of enlarged observation amongst this class as I have had, either in the immediate govern ment of or eventual controul over seven colonies, and I I am sorry to proclaim that they are in this island in a more deplorably backward state than in any other. Yet, Gentlemen, they must lie taught to fear God, before they can be made to respect the laws. It is physically im possible for the ministers of the Established Church, few in number, ►with an extended surface of population, to do more than they have done. The first object is to instil the doctrines of Christianity, and not to insist on any particular Church discipline. I firmly be lieve the assistance of the missionaries is most necessary to this end. Gentlemen, we have hardly four years more to watch over the experiment of apprenticeship. Give every fhcility you can to tie miss:onarie' labours. Banish from your minds the idea that they arc your enemies. I will an swer with my head for their loyalty and fidelity. Encou rage their peaceable settlements amongst your people ; let every four or five contiguous estates combine for the erec tion of chapel schools ; and knowing, as you well do, the attachment of the negro to the place of his birth, and the burial-place of his parents, you may, I sincerely believe, by these means, finally locate on your estates a contented pea santry. " The example in Antigua forcibly impressed the advan tage of this course of improvement. " Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Assembly, . _ " I reserve for other opportunities the laying before you several communications, either connected with my instruc tions from the Secretary of State, or emanating in local expediency. " I respectfully recommend to your early consideration such annual Acts as are about to expire. " Gentlemen of the Council, " Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly, " There never was a time in the history of this colony in which the spirit of union and cordiality was so neces sary to your successful labours. For myself, I shall most cheerfully concur in any measure, whether directed to the immediate wants of society, or to the security of your future wants." The following is the address of the Council in reply to the Governor's speech : " May it please your Excellency—We his Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Council, sincerely congra tulate your Excellency on your assumption of this impor tant Government. " We duly appreciate the difficulties with which you will have to contend, and the responsibility of your high station ; but you may rely with confidence on our sup port and patriotism, and be assured that no exertions shall be wanting on our part to render your Government as easy to yourself as we are satisfied it will be beneficial to the country. " We concur in the anxious hope expressed by your Excellency, that those animosities which have distracted our community may cease, and that the united efforts of the Legislature may be steadily directed to the discovery and adoption of the best means of upholding the prosperity and maintaining the peace of the island. " It is impossible to deny that many grievances exist, into the cause or origin of which we shall dispassionately inquire ; and, we trust, that they may be as successfully combated, as we feel assured that they will be faithfully re presented by your Excellency to the King's Ministers. " We regret that the conduct of some of the Special Magistrates should have given such just cause of complaint, and that in consequence a state of irritation has been ex cited between proprietors and apprentices most prejudicial to the well-being of the colony. We thank your Excel lency for the assurance that you are doing all in your power to correct this evil, which we are convinced will in a great measure subside when the Acts regulating the duties of masters and apprentices are, throughout the island, duly and impartially administered ; and we anticipate the best results from a cautious and well-digested establishment of scales of labour. " We are gratified by the honourable mention made by your Excellency- of the manner in which effect was given by the Legislature of this island to the wishes of the Impe rial Parliament in so speedily passing the Act for the aboli tion of slavery ; and we can with truth affirm that those who represented the interests of this powerful colony have ever been most anxious for the ultimate success of that most important measure ; and any suggestions of practical im provement emanating from your Excellency shall receive our most attentive consideration, and, if adopted, we hope they may put down complaints, and firmly establish confidence and good-will between proprietors and labourers. " We sensibly feel the absolute necessity of giving the negro population the advantages of moral and religious instruction, and fully concur in the sentiment expressed by your Excellency, that man must be taught to fear God before he can be made to respect the laws. Whilst we agree with your Excellency that the first ob ject is to instil the doctrines of Christianity, we cannot forbear declaring our devoted attachment to that form of sound word in which we have been brought up, and expressing our regret that the number of the clergy of the Church is not equal to the spiritual wants of this large colony ; still we hope that all denominations of Christian teachers will be supported, whilst they confine themselves to the true and legitimate object of their calling ; and we trust that the beneficent results anticipated by your Excel lency, as likely to flow from the labours of the missionaries, may be accomplished. We are deeply impressed with the absolute necessity of fostering a spirit of union and cordiality to arrive at a suc cessful termination of our labours ; and we sincerely thank your Excellency for your assurance, that you will concur in any measure, whether directed to the immediate wants of society, or the security of our future interests." To the above his Excellency was pleased to make the following reply : " Gentlemen of the Council, I am sincerely thankful to you for this kind address, for it gives me every assurance of your zeal and spirit to pro mote the best interests of the country, to which end my humble abilities will be faithfully directed. " I can not omit, in particular, my grateful acknowledg ment of the liberality with which the head of the Church has met my sentiments, on the means of extending Chris tianity. " What we can safely undertake now, in preparing for freedom, would not, I admit, have been prudent in slavery. " I am quite convinced that the gentlemen of the island generally are too intelligent and rightly disposed not to see and admit the distinction between the influenbe of Mission aries, as a first means of preparing for freedom,. and their exertions in slavery, when they were so apt to be misun derstood, and to raise expectations inconsistent with that condition." STAMP DUTIES IN BELGIUM. The Beige says—" At the moment when all the journals justly complain of the enormous stamp duty on foreign jour nals, instead of their complaint being regarded, the duty is increased. Journals of the smallest size coming from France, which have hitherto been subject to a stamp duty of 11c., are now to pay 14c., the duty required for those of the largest size. If the Treasury thinks thus to increase its receipts, it is mistaken, for it is certain that the subscrip tions to foreign journals have continued to fall off for some Sears past. The Post-office know this better than we do. Thus the Treasury is a considerable loser in this respect." The Beige is very silly. It fancies that the,stamp duty on the journals is considered by our immoral Government as a source of revenue; it is much rather a check on the free circulation of ideas, and especially on the connexion which the various progressive opinions of all countries would establish between them by means of the press. What do our Jesuists care if the duty on foreign journals is less productive ? What they care for is, that the Belgian Liberals may not have too unrestricted an intercourse with those of France ; and especially of England. Far from re gretting that only a few joureals are received from Paris and London, they would be glad if none of them came to Belgium. It is believed in foreign countries that the press is entirely free in Belgium. Our Government pretends that it permits the circulation of all foreign journals, but it does not say that a Paris journal, the subscription to which is only 48f., per annum, such as the Presse, Siecle, Monde, and Progres, has to pay an extraordinary duty of 9.4 c. per number i n Belgium—that is to say, 87f. 60c., almost the double of the subscription. With the English journals it is still worse ; they pay 40c., and some 60c., according to the size, on each number. Thus an English journal which we receive in exchange for the Courrier Beige, that is, which costs us only the subscription to our journal, and the postage of it (in all 601.). has to pay 40c. per number post age at Brussels, so that we pay our Government 1251. 20c. per annum to receive an English journal gratis.—C'ourrier Beige. INFLUENZA.—We are glad to learn that the influ. enza has begun to disappear in this city. In the country villages, it has been, and continues to be, most severe, and in very many instances fatal. A correspondent from Fra serburgh says, that there is scarcely a family in that town but what has been afflicted ; and that, in several instances the disease has proved fatal. No one who has had occa sion to pass down our shore for the past ten (lays could have omitted to notice the mournful sight of flags flying half-mast high. This, we understand, has been in conse quence of a combination of very painful circumstances— the late losses at sea, and the deaths among seamen's rela tives from influenza and typhus fever.—Aberdeen Herald. The subscriptions raised for relieving the sufferers by the turn-out of the cotton-spinners at Oldham amounted, on Monday evening, to nearly 200/. ; numbers of the inha bitants contributed .5/. each. We regret our inability to state any circumstances indicating an approach to an adjust ment of this lamentable dispute. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1837. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.
