The Proprietors of the " WEEKLY CHRONICLE," en couraged by the still increasing prosperity of their Journal, hays determined upon the publication of a series of Portraits, ENGRAVED ON STEEL, To be called collectively" THE NATIONAL GALLERY;" thh: title being adopted from the conviction that any other name, less comprehensive, would be found unworthy of the extent and high purpose of the undertaking, as well as of the surpassing beauty with which it will be carried out. The ap pc o e a ar s a i ( n i e c r e e d o a f s a" workTH E of aart. NATIONAL or with reference L t E o Ri its easy s y w p h o e s t s h e e s - r sion by the very humblest of the land, will form an extraordi nary epoch in the history of the English Press. OBJECTS OF THE WORK. The 'purpose of the Proprietors of " THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE" is to assemble in " THE NATIONAL GAL LERY," the Portraits of those Public Men who have most dis fgtcaiortboei t:iuurtet,eirssssoeht, of Queen i t li f uetbe e hen m enecr s gev e ii l nuiv v epe e ttno s :nre duri ng the present century ; and whose itatfiie; the field to r ehs t t i h nw e dhvi ss.o.hetsinien distinguished u e ,,ti.hns ie l t i yep a d v loi e Nrvvter e o.a x ni ercised the would naturally have commenced but for the Gal lerycirlltcenuntmhad:s(tifaititiihoceneof its having been so recently presented to the Readers of the " WEEKLY CHRONICLE." The Publication of the GALLERY will proceed in the col lo': ing order : DUKE OF WELLINGTON. (LORD LYNDHURST. LORD GREY. Ma. O'CONNELL. SIR 11. PEEL. DUCHESS OF NORTHUMBER MR. WILBERFORCE. LAND. LORD DURHAM. LORD LEICESTER. THE SPEAKER:. LORD SPENCER. HER MAJESTY. THE QUEEN DOWAORR. LORD MELBOURNE. SIR JAMES GRAHAM. DUCHESS OF KENT. MARQUIS OF LANSDOWNE. LORD JOHN RUSSELL. LORD FITZWILLIAM. DUCHESS OF SUTHERLAND. LORD STANLEY. MARQUIS OF NORMANBY. t LORDMORPETH. LORD BROUGHAM. MODE OF PUBLICATION. To each Portrait will be appended an impartial Biographical Memoir, printed on imperial hot-pressed quaff to, uniformly with the Engraving. A Portrait will be published every other Sa turday, the Memoir being issued every alternate week—hence, a Monthly Part will contain Two Engravings, with Two Me moirs. T o those subscribers desirous of possessing THE NA TIONAL GALLERY, the price of THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE will be that of other papers—namely, Six pence. To these, however, should there be such, who may prefer the Paper without the Engraving or Memoir, the price will be as at present, Fourpence-halfpenny. THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE NATIONAL GALLERY. A Portrait will be delivered with a Paper on the payment of One Shilling; and at the same time a Ticket, which will en title the holder to a Paper and a " Memoir," on the following week, for " nothing." The first number of " The National Gallery" will be published on the Ist of July next, and the cor resporoling Memoir on the Bth ; so that in each alternate week there will be given a Portrait or Memoir. The work will form a magnificent annual volume in imperial quarto—a volume not to be purchased, at the present time, at less than Five Guineas. Every precaution has been taken by the Proprietors to be pro vided with a supp!y—great as the demand roust necessarily be— by the erection of steam machinery on the premises, at the out lay of several thousand pounds. Specimens of the Portraits will be found at the principal Newsvenders throughout the United Kingdom. That of his Grace the Duke of Wellington may, together with a Memoir, be received by all Agents by the 20th of April. ARTISTS ENGAGED FOR THE WORK. The Proprietors feel that they have only to give the names of Ilayter, Chalon, Latilla, and Stewart, as the Painters em ployed for the NATIONAL GALLERY, to at once assure themselves of the confidence of the public, not only as to the worth and beauty of the forthcoming work, but as to the feel ing which animates the Projectors in this national enterprise. Among the Engravers will be found the names of Finden, H. Robinson, Mote, Cook, Wagstaff, W. Hall, Brown, Hall, &c. &c. &c. hence, the Publishers have, they conceive, given suffiicent warranty that no considerations of cost have weighed with them in their attempts to make the NATIONAL GAL LERY worthy of its ambitious title. Ail that modern art can effect will be lavished on the undertaking. The same pencils, the . same gravers, employed to minister to the tastes of the lirg,hest and richest in the land, will labour for the gratification of the humblest Englishman—the painter for the Court will be the painter for the Cotta2e. MORAL INFLUENCE OF THE WORK. their contemplated of the NATIONAL GALLERY feel that enterprise involves deeper and nobler consi derations than may superficially present themselves. It is scarcely possible that a work of such an extent, executed with all the high refinements of art, should not assert a great moral influence—an influence working for good; and tending at once to improve the mind, and elevate the taste of the people. In the NATIONAL GALLERY the Englishman will be con tinually reminded of the p .g eatness, and of the consequent. value of H p e ow w e i r l — ir l e te a r d r n or t a b l e m h i v g e h s t— of hisher ri ucrnopuhnstroy,;e, over rival her nations.gtan t c Englishmen, the irresistibl e force of British valour—the calm, comprehensive, and determined resistance to wrong—the advo- cacy of the most sacred rights of our most common nature—which fo in the basis of our national character. All the ennobling sentiments that constitute ti.e lofty-minded soldier—the wise and generous Statesman—the Patriot—and the Philanth-opist, will be felt and acknowledged by our readers ; and thus, in the projected publication, every subscriber to " The National Gal lery" of " The Weekly Chronicle," will have the gratification of possessing at the most trifling cost the most perfect record of his country's glory. All persons desirous of receiving this magnificent work with regularity and certainty, should immediately give their orders to the various News-agents and Booksellers throughout the Kingdom—a method rendered indispensable from the impossi bility of making any arrangements, in so gigantic an undertaking for the supply of casual subscribers. To the regular Subscribers of the " Weekly Chronicle" this gallery is presented gratis. To non-subscribers the price of one Portrait will be 11, Is. 6d. Separate Portraits on India paper, 21. 2s.

The Bishop of Nova Scotia, Captain Norman Campbell, and Mr. Irvine, had interviews with the Marquis of Normanby yesterday. On Friday a large meeting of the proprietors of estates in Jamaica, and others interested in the Island, was held in the great room of the Thatched House Taven. At half-past two o'clock the Chair was taken by S:r Wm. Wiling in the absence of the Earl of St. Vincent, who was unavoidably detaned in the country. The advertisement calling the meeting, and the reso lutions which were passed at the last meeting having been read, Mr. Btract said, in consequence of the resolutions which they bad just heard read, the deputation bad waited, by appointment, upon Lord Melbourne, and at the same fme they met Lord Normanby. He (Mr. B.) had heed requested to lay the statements of the pro prietors of Jamaica before the Noble Lords, and, in consequence, stated that the resolutions he had the honour to lay before them, emanating from a very large meeting, prove d that the large majority of the proprietors were convinced that the proposed Bid of the Government for suspending the functions of the Assembly of Jamaica, were not only unconstitutional, but would materially affect their own interests, as well as those of the whole popula- ;ion of the Island. Lord ---- N e;Manby reminded them hat there were some of the Proprietors in Parour of the measure, and that a deputa tion had w aited upon him on the same day they held ,heir meeting, also i❑ favour_of the measure. He(Alr B.) said he was aware that seven hands had been held up aga.mst the resolutions at the meeting, end as it was a free y called meeting of the Proprietors and others in terested in Jamaica, he had a right to suppose that that was the utmost number of Proprietors who were in fa- your of the measure of the Government. As to the deputation alluded to, he had made inquiry and found that they were from the merchants of London, but they could speak only their own sentiments, for that body had passed no resolution giving them power to speak for the body—they were merely a deputation to consult with and see what the intended measure was. The result of the conference with the two Noble Lords was, that the Government refused to recede from their position— they determined to proceed with it on .the day named, but it was postponed till after Easter, because there was no House on the original day.—(Hear.) It was introduced on Tuesday last, and had been delivered in a printed shape that morning. He had no doubt that all present had already seen the Bill, and the discussion tbat took place upon its intro duction. In that discussion it was admitted on both sides of the House that the Constitution of Jamaica was upwards of 200 years old, and was based upon the principles of the English ConstitutiOn. In calling for the suspension of such a Constitution, even for an hour, they were bound to show that the Assembly, whose pri vileges ware to be abolished, had been guilty of some great mistake, nay of some very great crime.—( Hear.) One circumstance attending the condut of the Govern ment was, in his opinion, the most tyrannical which had ever been seen in this country. It was a measure of the most striking injustice, and none which had ever fallen under his notice contained such a total direleetio n of sound principle as the measure introduced the other night. In order to justify the introduction of the Bill it was said the Assembly had abandoned their func tions. This was not true ; havitrg a Constitution, and that Constitution having been invaded by an Act unnecessarily and hastily introduced to the Imperial Parliament, they took a constitutional means of seeking for redress—they appealed to her Majesty against the invasion made by the Government upon their privileges. Was that an aban donment of their functions by the Assembly. Then came another ground ; some said that the Legislature of Jamaica would not in future legislate in a spirit of fair ness towards the black population, or fairly carry out the abolition of the Apprenticeship system—that was stated by Lord John Russell. Now what authority had the Noble Lord for making a statement of such a kind, how could lie be aware of in what manner the Legisla ture of Jamaica-would act in future? Did the Noble Lord think that the Island of Jamaica did not contain men of sound sense enough, and of integrity enough to legislate for those to whom they had given freedom. This language came with a bad grace from those who had driven Canada into rebellion. But Jamaica was not in the same situation with Canada. For five years the Canadians had totally refused to raise any supplies —the House of Assembly had never done so. The Canadians followed their refusal by open rebel lion, but still the Government put the abolition of the Constitution upon the ground that those who constituted the. Assembly, were the actual promoters of the rebellion. The 13111 was said to be necessary, because the House of Assembly had refused to legislate at all. Now the fact was, that the House had not met since the apprenticeship had been abolished. Thi s Bill was, as usual with all aggresive ' measures, not intro duced with its spice, and in that instance it was in the shape of three salaried Commissioners, who were to form part of the Government. No Minister, however regardless of the principles upon which he entered into the Government, would dare to proceed with such a Bill, unless he was supported by the proprietors con nected with the island ; and that meeting would put an end to the insinuation that the measure had been coun celled, and was the work of the proprietors. - The reso lutions passed at the last meeting, had received the support of Sir Edward Hyde East, of Sir George Rose, and Sir Alexander Chrichton—all men of the highest attainments, and who were quite prepared to go along with the meeting in any lawful opposition to such a gross and unnecessary viola tion of the Constitution of Jamaica.—(Applause.) The country here were not at all aware of the circumstances attending the introduction of the Prison Bill. The whole policy of the Government , was calculated to in duce a belief in the minds cf the people of England and of Jamaica that the House of Assembly was deserving of nothing but distru,t. What did they do with respect to the Prison Bill ? It might be supposed from the language which had been held in print, that there had been no prisons in Jamaica, and that it was a life and death affair to pass the Act of the 16th of July of last year. At that time there existed an Act, which was passed in 1834 on the recommendation of Lord Sligo, who said it was most beneficial in its arrangements for the regulation of the prisons. The rules and regula tions passed in 1838 were a verbatim transcript of those of 18 34—(Cries of " Hear, hear") —and the only variation consisted in this, that whereas under the one the rooms were to be white washed once in six months, under the other they were to be whitewashed once in fire months.—(Hear.) And yet this was the urgency which led to the Bill being introduced by Lord Glenelg on the 16th July, and which was hurried through both Houses of Parliament, when it was known that, if this Bill passed, the collision would arise which had now actually taken i place.— (Hear.) hf The Government bad rendered intoit impossibletie mut too its Governor language which continue the system of apprenticeship ; and he virtually h telling the abolished it when he made a Assembly that he bad no hesitation speec in saying Jamaica it. was physically impossible for the system longer to continue. If the present Bill lied not been made a pretext for doing w hat had been done , the G overnor would have been i ns tructed to soothe the feelings of the Assembly, but up to this time the Assembly' remained in perfect ignorance - of the reception which her Majesty bad given to the appeal which the Assembly had made against the oppressive conduct of her Mjesty's Ministers.—(Hear, hear.) Now, with respect to the Government of Ja maica, the functions of Government were to be vested in the Governor, 12 Councillors, and 3 Commissioners ; but they were all liable to be dismissed by the Gover nor, and therefore this was nothing but a pure and solute • despotism.—(Hear, hear.) What came next? Why, the revenue. The people of England did not pay for promoting the agriculture of J ama i ca, as for the North America n colonies. The whole civil government of Jamaica was borne by Jamaica, and with the excep tion of the Bishop's salary, and that of the Deacon, and an inconsiderable sum for stipendiary curates, the whole ecclesiastical establishment of Jamaica was defrayed by the colony. The whole of the expense of the judicial government was defrayed in the same manner. It was true that the garrison was provid e d by the Gov ernmen t, but the expense of fortifications, &c,, n fell upon the colony. A revenue allparoadefile iin nearly g militia, 500,0001. bad to be provided by the t axes, exclus i ve of the parochial assessments, w 1 telt must be defrayed by each' parish. Now here was a very large revenue to be raised by these Commissioners, and to be disposed of by them ; and it should also be recollected that the Com missioners would have to raise their own salaries in this manner, and therefore it could not be supposed they would be over -scrupulous ; and the proprietors would have to pay for the whole of this despotic system of Government.—(Hear.) But there was another still more' important question, which would result from this change in the Constitution of Jamaica. It had been said that the bulk of the population were favourable to the change in the Government, but whoever read the Baptist addresses would not scruple to affirm that they were all the languag e of Knapp,—(H ear, hear.) Some people seemed to imagine that the Baptist missionaries had no earthly object but the protection of the negro population ; but the meeting would allow him to call their attention to a letter addressed to Mr. Sturge, signed John Clarke, which appeared in the Patriot of the Bth April. The writer stated that the present was the greatest opportunity ever offered for carrying out the voluntary principle—(Laughter) —and he be lieved that Jamaica would, before loni, be one of the freest and most prosperous countries in the world—the people would possess the elective franchise—they would be able to return a majority of the Assembly, and then SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SHAKSPEARE AND HIS FRIENDS."—These volumes are written in precisely the same spirit, and ex hibit the same happy dexterity that distinguished and oh , tained such popularity for the author's former work. Making the most of bis subject, the author begins the " Life of Shakspeare" before hb was born ; but he embo dies this premature beginning in a very beautiful concep tion—a conception quite Shaksperian both in spirit and letter, and every way exceedingly appropriate. It is, in truth, a delightful opening, full of fairies, flowers, and flowering verse, posies, and poetry, and all that may charm the spirit, and elevate it above the dull gross things of earth. A goodly display of wit and humorous conceit also scintillates through these delectable pages. and greatly increases the delight they are calculated to afford. The christening of the infant bard is an admirable sketch, so true in spirit, and faithful in detail, that we could almost swear the author must himself must have been present at the ceremony. We cannot for a moment doubt that " The Youth of Shakspeare" will meet with as favourable a reception, and become as popular as its predecessor. Of this, at any rate, we arc sure, that it deserves it. Scotsman. LADY BLESSINGTON'S NEW WORK.--Among the various foreign personages distinguished for rank, fashion, and attainments, of whom Lauy Blessington has given sketches in her two delightful volumes, " The Idler in Italy," just published, are the following :—Madame Letitia Bonaparte, and the various branches of her family ; Maria Louisa, the Pope, Cardinal Gonsalvi, Duchess D'Angouleme, Prince and Princess de Belvidere, Prin. cessa Partano. Madame de Villurne (better known as the cellebrated Mlle. Sombreuil), Baron and B aroness Mont faucon, Count Ariani, Duc Villambrosa, Count de Rhode, the Gambas, Countess Guiccioli, Duc de Fitz- James, Count Beckendoi ff, Marquis de la 'liaison Fort, Marquise d'Esmengarde, Deruidoff (the Russian Crcesus), Duke and Duchess de Guiche, Prince and Princess Soutzo, Archbishop of Mitylene, Count Pozzo di Borgo, Count and Countess de Maestre, Prince and Princess Catragia, Duc de Richelieu, Prince and Princess Borghese, Duc de Laval Montmorenci, Archbishop of Tarentum, Due de Rocco Romano, Abbe Monticelli, Prince Paul Lieven, Due de Cazarano, Marchese Guiliano, Prince Ischettella, Count Camaldoli and family, the Ricciardi family, General Florestan Pepe, Prince Saltriano, Count Funchal, Baron Denon, Marquise Couzani, Marchesa Camarata, Princess Elise Bacchioli, Colonel Tiburce Sebastiani, Filangieri, General Church, Piazzi, Salvogri Ceoni (the Improvise tore), Casmir de la Vigne, St. Angelo, M. De la Mar tine, Arguilisi, Professor Rossini, Madame Nicola and her father, the Count Francesco Picote, &c. &c. The Eng lish list is still mole extensive. A person yarned Hockings, " the celebrated Birmingham blacksmith," has been lecturing on teetotal.. i s m, in this town, during the 'present week to large audiences.—Halifax Express. the Church Establishment would fall, and equal rights and privileges would be enjoyed by all,—(Hear, hear.) Now, he begged to say that the wages of the population were sufficient to support them in comfort, and even in luxury, although they were not sufficient to gratify the rapacity of a Baptist missionary.—(Cheers.) One of the great evils which would result from adopting the proposed measure would be, that it would completely degrade the white population—that it would completely destroy all the moral influence which ought to be re tained by the white population, and that it would bold out to those who had formerly stood in the relation of slaves the impression that the whites were so dis posed to oppress them that the Queen and the Parlia ment, and the people of England, would not trust them any longer with the power of making laws to govern them. It would be impossible to hold society together in such a state of things. If matters were not precipitated in this manner the negro population would gradually ac quire their predominance, and at the same time would acquire those habits of eh ilization and that education which would enable them to exercise their rights with benefit to themselves and safety to the white population, and the bonds of society would continue united, and there would be then, as now, no distinction arising from colour.—(Hear.) The Ministry, in making the expe riment at such a time as the present, seemed to be ma nifesting a total disregard of those motives which or dinarily actuated human nature, and though it was a matter of surprise that any Government could be found rash enough to bring forward such a measure, it was still more surprising that any individual possessing an interest in Jamaica could be found supporting them. He would not detain the meeting longer than to state that a petition had heen prepared for signature, and that Mr. Sergeant Merewether and Mr. Reynolds had been retained as Counsel for the proprietors, to be heard at the bar of the House of Commons, and that it would be his duty to appear as agent for .the Assembly. Sir A. GRANT said, if he had entertained any doubt as to the propriety of the resolutions of the former electing, what had since transpired would have entirely removed them.—( Hear, hear.) All the misfortunes of the West Indians arose from an apathy on their affairs, which was entertained by the leaders of both parties in the State, and from a disinclination on the part of their friends to mix themselves up against that body which were called the Philanthropist. They was so called, but he did not gi% e one iota of credit to them for bene volence.—(Cheers.) He had some consolation even in the introduction of such a Bill as the one introduced by the Government. Its introduction forced upon the consideration of the House of Commons certain points, which must also now be forced upon the consideration of the public, and the benefit of that would be to them. —(Cheers.) It would then be shown that the antici pated and much boasted of benefit which the planters were to rece:ve from the Emancipation Act, was all delusion. They would see that the men were severe sufferers from the harsh treatment of a Government which was so desitute of sup port that they had been obliged to truckle to O'Con nell fur the support of Irish Members generally, and who were obliged, in order to secure the support of the sanctified leaders of the philanthropists for measures of that nature.—(Cheers.) A Government which, while at home, were saying that in common honesty they were obliged to oppose the motion or Sir E. Wilmot, and carry out the compact into which they had entered with the planters, had sent out orders to the Governor of Jamaica to tell the House of Assembly that they must cut their own throats, because there was a sword hanging over their heads, so far as the two years' ap prenticeship was concerned. Sir L. Smith had clearly shown himself to be a partizan upon every occasion, always against the proprietors, even with the Baptists or any other enemy of peace and order. He could not, he would not have dared to act so without orders from home. He supported all the gross misrepresentations of the Baptist incendiaries--of those enemies of the Es tablished Church, and then in a despatch, only a few days later, he contradicts himself. How could they put faith either in a Government such as he had described, or in a partizan Governor like Sir Lion.:l Smith ? (Cheers.) He was no eulogist of the Assembly— they had been got into a scrape. He thought they would soon get out of it, but lie hoped it would be a lesso❑ to them, and that they would have no more of that disgraceful intemperance of languaue which bad been formerly shown. He lamented deeply that the , gentlemen of the Press had been excluded from the l i last meeting. It was a mere mistake, because, if their cause wind& not stanctthe test of publicity, for God's sake give it up. Publicity, however, they courted, for so far from having anything to fear, it would and must benefit them.—(Cheers,) It was, however, useless to exclude the Press, for if their was a minority, however small, something of the meeting would be sure to get out, and then it was not to be expected that the I report would be as fair, as candid, and as correct as those gentlemen who attended for the Press were in the habit of giving► their accounts of the proceedings of meetings.—(Hear, hear.) He was induced to make those remarks from a report of the last meeting, which appeared in the Emancipator. Only conceive one of them in correspondence wiih the Em►aneipalor.—(A laugh.) The proceedings, though not wholly false, were given in a very garbled manner. He was found fault with for using a very short but expressive English word when speaking of the misrepresentations of the Baptists. He repeated the term, and would have very little hesitation in applying the same term to many of Sir Lionel Smith's. Then aguin, it was said that the proprietors would not hear those opposed to them, and more especially Mr. Bernal. He appealed to all present as to the truth or falsehood of that assertion. That statement deserved the same short epithet which had given offence. It was absurd to at tempt to keep out those who would give a fair report, and it showed the system of misrepresentation which was carried on by a party whom he would venture to stigma tize as the most unconscientious, though claiming often the exclusive privilege of conscience, that ever yet en dangered the country, and which was likely, in his opi nion, if not met by a firmer Government, to bring the country to the state in which it was in the time of the Roundheads.—( Hear, hear.) , Mr. NORMAN DONALDSON said when he entered tue room he was in hopes that the subject would have been discussed with temper and moderation, and he certainly thought it might have been conducted without intro ducing the name of Mr. O'Connell—(Hear, hear, hear) —who had nothing whatever to do with the ques tion. When such violent and decided feelings were expressed by men whose party views and connec tions were known, he could not but think the interests of Jamaica were in some degree injured. He thought that much might be done by conciliation, and that it would be for the benefit of the proprietors if a little more desire were shown on their part to co-operate with the views of the Government, instead of standing out as avowedly hostile to them. Sir A. GRANT explained. Mr. PHILPOTTS said that when the Prison Bill was passed so hastily, it was said to be in consequence of the Report of Captain Pringle. The Captain said in his Report that the rules and regulations of 1834 were good, and he only recommended proper officers to be appointed, and power to be invested in the Governor to appoint the gaolers. Now the Provostmaster-General bad that power, and the Governor 'Eight 'laic directed him to appoint proper persons. There was one passage in the speech of the Governor which had not been ad verted to at all, and which showed that he possessed either inspiration, or private information from the Go vernment at home—he would leave it to the meeting to say which. Sir Lionel Smith, in his speech, said he was afraid that general agitation, and Parliamentary in terference had not yet terminated. Now, bow could the Governor know that, unless he had been told that the Government intended to force the Assembly into this measure.—(Hear, hear.) He concluded by mov ing a series of resolutions, stating that the meeting had learned with regret the introduction of a Bill into the House of Commons, and trusted that Ministers would not feel compelled to press the measure, and that there was no disposition on the part of the House of Assembly, or the inhabitants of Jamaica, to exer cise any act of oppression towards the emancipated negroes, and that the Legislature considered all the inhabitants as equal in point of freedom. Mr. ACKERSLFIt seconded the resolution. The Rev. THEODORE WILLIAMS recommended conciliatory measures, and hoped the Government would adopt resolutions similar to those which were passed in the case of Canada, before resorting to so severe a mea sure as the one now proposed.—( Hear.) Dr. BINNS wished to correct some misstatements made by Mr. Labouchere in his speech on Tuesday eve ning, and he should do so on the authority of Mr. Montgomery Martin's work. Mr. Labouchere stated that the whites in Jamaica amounted to only 5,000. ( Hear, hear.) Why, in Kingston there were more than twice that number, and the difference between the statement of Mr. Labouchere and the truth was only 30,000.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. Labouchere stated the coloured inhabitants to be only 28,000, whereas the real number was not less than 100,000.—(Hear, hear.) No dependance could be placed on a man who made such misstatements, and he should therefore move as an amendment, " That this meeting cannot separate with out expressing the opinion, that from the extreme' ig norance or wilful misrepresentation on the part of the Under Secretary for the Colonies, evinced in his statement before the House of Commons on Tuesday last, he-is totally unfitted for the responsible office which he holds and that this censure be construed to extend to her Majesty's Ministers generally.—(Laughter.) He had I no doubt that some honest man would second the amendment. Mr. ACKERSLEY seconded the amendment, because he had been called upon to do so as an honest man.— ( Laughter.) He did not condemn the Whigs because they were Whigs, for the Tories were as bad, and were attempting to destroy the colony, and doing it as Tories. —( Laughter.) At the earnest entreaty of Sir A. Grant, the Chair man, Mr. Philpot, Mr. Burge and others, Dr. Binns withdrew his amendment. The original resolutions were then passed unani mously. The petitions were agreed to and numerously signed. Thanks were then noted to the Chairman, and the meeting adjourned. The Bill for making temporary provision of the Go vernment of Jamaica is founded, according to the pre amble, on the General Assembly of the House of the Island having met on the 17th of December, 1838, and having resolved to abst a i n f rom any l eg i s l at i ve funct i ons till certain conditions were complied with, which it is not expedient to grant, and which has made it neces sary that temporary provision should be made for the good government of the Island. The Bill therefore enacts that, until the Ist of January, in • blank year, it shall not be necessary to summon the House of General Assembly of Jamaica for the dispatch of business, or to hold any meeting of the said General Assembly ; but that until the said first day of January every law, sta tute, or usage requiring that the said House of General Assembly shall be suspended for the dispatch of busi ness, or requiring that any meeting shall be holden of the said General Assembly, shall be and the same is hereby suspended. The Governor, with the assent of the Council of the Island, is next empowered to make laws and ordinances, which her Majesty in Council may disallow wholly or in part. The Ordinances, and the Orders in Council disallowing them, are to be laid before Parliament. The Governor may by the next clause revive and continue expiring laws by proclamation. By the last clause but one, the Governor of the island is to fix the date of the Act coming into operation. W e perceive that a rumour is making the circle of the press to the effect that Lord Corehouse has resigned his seat on the Bench, and that the Solicitor-General has in consequence of that event proceeded to London. We believe that this statement is premature and incorrect; as we have reason to know that the Solicitor-General had made arrangements for going to London some weeks ago, before the resignation of Lord Corehouse was talked of.__ Scotsman. A number of rooks within the last few day have been found dead near the Rookery of the Lower Lode, Tewkesbury, probably from poison having been laid in the adjoining meadows for their destruction.

TIIE YOUNG EGYPTIANS.-Of the twenty Egyptians sent to this country by their Government about nine years ago, to learn our arts and sciences, the last of them, Seid Achmet, left Glasgow on Monday evening for Liverpool, to return to his native country. lie bad bcel five years learning millwright work under Mr. Graham, at Penick, and civil engineering for about three years under Mr. Nlacquiaten. The climate disagfeei with some of them, and they remained but a short time in this country. We understand two of them died ; four paid their attention principally to plumber work, two to ship-building, and the otters chiefly to machinery-making ant cotton-spinning. Tne Pacha wisely left them to choose trades or pro fessions to suit their own tastes, and he paid for their ed ication liberally. It is rather surprising that only one of them had the idea of studying civil engineering, being a prdession so much required in that country, and where it is generally believed it had its origin, but has long since been extinct, and it is rather an odd circumstance that this young gentleman should have been taught in Glasgow, and that when he returns to Egypt he will be the first native civil engineer who has appeared there for many genera. tions. He is a very interesting young man, and was much esteemed here by all ranks. A number of respectable and scientific persons took leave of him at the steamer, and his former fellow-workmen fired a farewell salute from a num ber of guns as the steamer passed the Kelvin.—Glasgow Courier. DEATH FROM DESTITUTION.--A great sen sation has been produced at Blaina, Abergavenny, and the surroundiog neighbourhood, by the death of a poor man of the name of William Nicholas, who had, for the last four or five weeks, been sleeping in a hovel and other places, in the Blaina Iron Works, without receiving necessary suste- ' nance. About the 14th ult. he was taken ill, from want of food and she impure nature of the air of the cabin and other places in which he slept. On Tuesday week great complains were made to Messrs. Brown, by the men em ployed at the works, of the filthy and dirty state the de ! ceased was in, and the unbearable stench arising therefrom. Mr. Thomas Brown immediately caused application to be made to the deputy relieving officer, James Thomas, resid ing at Blaina, stating deceased's illness, and requesting his immediate removal, but he took no steps in the matter further than sending him food. On Tuesday, the 26th, Mr. Thomas Brown wrote to Mr. Watkins, the relieving officer, stating the case, and desiring the pauper's imme diate removal, as deceased's life was endangered by remain ing in such an unwholesome atmosphere. The following day Mr. Brown again wrote to the relieving officer. The deceased left the cabin on Saturday morning ; and was seen that morning leaning on the palings of a house some distance from the cabin, and afterwards found lying in a ditch by the house, and there died before assistance could be procured to get him out. On Monday on inquest was held on the body, before Mr. Hughes, Coroner for the county of Monmouth. The fact of the deceased - ha%ing been found dead in the ditch was proved by two Is itnesseF. The Jury returned the following verdict e--‘.

IMPROVEMENT OF HoLBORN-HILL.--At Guildhall on \Vedesday, during the sitting of Alderman Kelly, Mr. Seymour, of Bartlett's.passage, Holborn, chronometer-maker, exhibited to the Alderman a model of an invention for removing the danger and inconveniecce of the steepness of Holborn-hill, without altering the shop fronts, footways, or level of the street. It consisted ap parently in having three lines for the passage of carriages. The line for ascending the bill has the centre paved as at present, but the wheels would move over a succession of iron rollers, the rollers moving round as the wheels passed over them. Mr. Seymour said that the effect would be equivalent to diminishing the weight of a waggon-load to one-eighth of its actual amount ; that is, a horse would draw up 24 cwt. over the rollers with the same exertion as he would apply to 3 cwt. on the present pavement. Mr. Alderman Kelly thanked Mr. Seymour for the opportunity of seeing the plan, but said he was not enough versed in mechanics to determine whether it could be reduced to practice. HOUSE OF COBURG.—The house of Saxe- Coburg is indisputably the most fortunate of all the existing great families of Europe. No common lot has attended them in our time, and they appear destined to fill a re markable place in modern history. The reigning Duke has succeeded to the inheritance of the duchy of Saxe- Gotha, which he enjoys in addition to his original sove reignty of Coburg. His brother Leopold was born under an extraordinary star; he first married the heiress to the British throne, and subsequently a daughter of the King of the French ; two ladies not less amiable than elevated ; and, after declining the throne of Greece, lie has been chosen King of Belgium. One sister espoused the Archduke Constantine of Russia, and thus in the ordinary course of events would have become Empress of all the Russias. The history of another sister, the Duchess of Kent, is too well known to require comment; she is the mother of the Queen of England. Another brother has married one of the greatest heiresses of the Austrian empire, the daughter of the Prince of Kohary, and occupies the high post of Lieutenant Field Marshal in the service of the Emperor. Finally, a nephew of the Duchess of Kent is the reigning King of Portugal. An impartial review of the progress of this distinguished family compels us to add, that it does not owe its success to unworthy intrigue ; its members bear their great estate with prudence, with good sense, and with moderation ; and their domestic qualities form an antidote to the venom which generally pursues a career of success.—Hawkin's Germany. A private meeting of the Proprietors and renters of Covent-garden theatre took place on Wednesday, in con sequence o; Mr. Macready's announcement of an intention to relinquish the lessee and managership with the present sea son. The meeting had reference to pecuniary arrange ments in his relation to the proprietorship, which might affect the decision of Mr. Macready ; and the public will shortly be made acquainted with the result. Till lately upwards of 70 coaches passed through Hounslow daily, but now there are only 9 or 10. • A FACT.—The C , incznizatti News says there is a man living about fifty miles n or th o f t h at c i ty, w h o h as h a d twenty-four children by one wife, eighteen of whom are now full-grown hearty males, capable of bearing arms.

The following is the result : —Assets, 45,894,41 8 ; Debts, 17,839 574 ; Surplus, 8,054,844. TIIE WEATHER IN EDINBURGH.—The \v"" tiler, we are glad to say, gives favourable symptoms of im provement. We have had four successive days of the brightest sunshine, and yesterday (Friday) the thermometer stood upwards of 70 in the sun. The wind is beginning to veer round to the westward again.—Scotsman. FINANCES. Mr. ROGERS gave his weekly account of the funds., by which it appeared the balance in hand was 1,0511. .1-le said he was thus particular in stating the prosperous slew of the funds, from seeing statements in the Press that their funds were in a state of derangement. He wished, and many others in the country he was sure would rasp wish, that Mr. Spring lice had his department in so flouri:;nieg• a condition. It would be a long time before the establish ment in Downing.strect had 1,0001. in hand. Ile hoped this flourishing state of the funds would long continue. His statement was received with much eheering• PROPOSED MEETINGS IN THE GREAT TOWNS. Mr. O'CONNOR proposed that a committee be appointed to make arrangements for bolding meetings on Whit. Monday, in London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, Carlisle, Bris - cl, Nottingham, Birmingham, Newcastle, West Riding of Yorkshire, Perth, Dundee, and Paisley, to t,ke the opinion of the country at large cn what is to be done on the rejection of the N,ition,ll Paitr(n. Mr. O'Connor intro.luced this resolution in a temperate and argumentative address, which elicited much applause. Mr. FROST seconded the appointment. Mr. HENRY and others supported the motion. It was, after some discussion, carried, and a ccrnmittee, consisting of the following Delegates, viz., Messrs. Mal. ling, P. Taylor, Whittle, Bussey, Ryder, Marsden, and Frost, were appointed to carry out its recommendations. THE PRESS. Mr. MARSDEN brought on a motion of which be had given notice. That dome mode be adopted to obtain fail Reports of the Convention, with a view to their extensive circulation. The discussion on this question gave rise-to-s lengthened and uninteresting (14 bate, except to nesspeper proprietors. The supporters of it were urgent in impre,:s ing on the Convention that some arrangement should be had with some of the daily press to give a sir:cc to the proceedings of the Convention—the necessity of which was obvious from the many misstatements that were appearing from day to day, not only in that part of the press which was opposed to them, but also in those weekly papers which professed to be the crgans of the people. It was finally resolved that a Comtuatteg should be appointed. • THE SUN NEWSPAPER. Dr. NI'Dot:ALL withdrew a motion of which he had given notice ; upon the subject of a speech of his which had not baen reported in last Wednesday's proceedings by Me Sun Newspaper. WAYS AND MEANS. Mr. PITKEITIILEY introduced a motion to the effect that no money should be granted for any purpose in eon-. nection with any other subject, and that all money votes be separated from and disconnected Kith other matters. Mr. WHITTLE seconded the resolution. It had the fate of the preceding resolution, by giving, room to about twenty of the Delegates to delivur them selves of their sentiments on the necessity of economy. It eventually passed with some modification, after which the meeting dissolved, first passing the usual vote of thanks to the Chairman.
