JAMAICA. of that Imperial Legislature, the omnipotence of whose united voice to legislate for the whole empire, if it so think fit, is beyond dispute. This is a subject which nothing should induce me to originate. It is one whose fruitless agitation can only lead to unnecessary irritation. I regret most deeply that on such an occasion you should have chosen gratuitously to raise so invidious a question, by stating, that you never did admit the right of the House of Commons to legislate on the internal affairs of Jamaica.

The Shetland Islands have been visited with an awful dispensation of Providence. The fisherme❑ while engaged i❑ their usual occupation, at great dis tance from land, were suddenly overtaken by a huri- VERNOR'S SPEECH AND THE REJOINDER. OF Ills cane of unprecedented violence, even in that tem pestuous region. Some were fortunate enough to gain the shore ; others were picked up at sea by passing vessels ; many were doomed to a watery grave. Nineteen boats sunk under the fury of the elements, and of 114 men who composed the crews, and who had left their homes full of hope and joy, only three returned to tell the tale of their disaster. So completely has the male population been swept from some of the villages, that the women have been compelled to take the places of their deceased husbands at the oar, in order to earn the means of subsistence for their starving children. But to describe the distress occasioned by this frightful loss of life would be a needless task. When the simple fact is stated, that these ill-fated mariners have left nearly SO widows, and several hundred children, exposed to all the evils of extreme poverty, aggravated by the rigours of a northern winter, the details of the picture of wretched. ncse will readily present themselves to the most unreflect- This da y was published, 3 vole. , price 28s. 6d.

But as the repre sentative here of your Sovereign, and of mine, I cannot listen to the declaration of any such doubt addressed to me, without asserting in the most unequivocal terms, the transcendant power of the Imperial Legislature, regulated only by its own discretion, and limited only by restrictions they may themselves have imposed. The long experience of the past, as to a right which has always existed, is your best security for the future, that it will never be exerted but in extreme cases ; an 4 no one would deplore more than myself, should imperious necessity ever require such direct interference. But it is unfortunate at this mo• went, that you should not have rather preferred a tempe rate appeal to the justice, than a vain denial of the rights, of the British nation. The undisturbed consciousness of strength on the part of a great and generous people is the surest safeguard that the nicest sense of equity will con tinue to act as a self-imposed restraint on the exercise of unusual but indisputable power." Being Translations from the celebrated French Work, LE LIVRE DES CENT-ET-UN. " The manners of the Parisians, from the Courtier to the Bourgeois —from the Chaussee d'Antin to the Marais—the insti tutions of Paris, from her Foundling Hospital to her Morgue,— are alike painted with great boldness of effect and wonderful truth and minuteness of detail. Philosophy, Poetry, and Satire, have each contributed their colours ; and the result is a great Picture, composed\of a hundred groups, and made up of a hun dred episodes, but all harmonizing admirably together, and offering a complete and admirable representation of Paris in all her aspects.

EXCELLENCY. " The House trust that your Excellency's anticipation may be realised, and that no repetition of the recent cri minal and horrid rebellion may again bring destruction on the inhabitants of Jamaica. The House thank your Excellency for the precautionary measures your Excellency has taken to avert the possibility of a renewal of the atro cities perpetrated only a few months since ; but the House feel it their duty to state that no permanent tranquillity can be expected, and that no security for property or life can exist, so long as Jamaica is kept in constant agitation. Our present uncertain state paralyses alike the energies of agriculture and commerce, and necessarily tends to subvert all assurances of permanent security for persons or property. " When the miseries inflicted on all classes by the re cent rebellion (which your Excellency has so well charac terised as criminal) are considered—miseries which your Excellency did not witness and ca❑ scarcely imagine, it cannot be matter of surprise to us that the free inhabitants of every class should endeavour by all means to save their properties, familiea, and lives, from conflagration, rape, and assassination ; still we are satisfied that the energies of the lass's of the island, administered by your Excellency, are sufficient to repress all acts destructive of the public welfare. " This House was no party to the measure by which an inquiry was obtained in the Commons' House of the British Parliament by the West India proprietors residing out of the island ; nor do we admit that the House of Commons can institute any effectual inquiry in relation to the social institutions of this island or its internal affairs. To understand the laws of any society, and the influence of customs and habits over those laws, a per sonal residence among the inhabitants of the country is indispensable. No evidence can convey over 4,500 miles those circumstances which most materially affect the wel. fare of a people, and which, to be appreciated, must be seen. Countries might be mentioned, where the laws in theory have been considered perfect ; but where, after centuries of legislation, the people are starving and wretched. This, we are proud to say, is ❑ot the case in Jamaica, notwithstanding all the defects incident to the state of slavery, originally forced on us by Great Britain. " As this House never did recognise the resolutions of Parliament in 1823—as this House never did admit the right of the House of Commons to legislate on the internal affairs of Jamaica, even when the West Indies were in directly represented in Parliament, we never can concede that a House of Commons, which is to exist upon the principle that actual representation should be the founda tion of legislation, can justly claim to legislate over us, their free fellow-country-men, in all respects their equals, but who have not, and cannot have, any voice whatever at their election, by whom, in consequence, we are not represented—who are strangers to our condition and in terest, and whose attempt to dictate to us would con sequently, upon their own principles, or their own existence as a legislative body, be tyranny, and not legislation. " Experience prevents us from deluding ourselves with the hope of a dispassionate and impartial result from the proceedings of any Committee of the Commons' House in relation to the West Indies, nor are we strangers to the fact, that pledges are now being exacted from candidates for seats in the new Imperial Parliament, to vote, in respect of the colonies, according to popular dictation, and not after ample and patient examination. " This House has always declared that they will con stantly and really adopt every measure for substantially benefiting the condition of the slave population, which our own local experience convinces us would really conduce to their welfare, and not injure those rights of property which our constituents were forced by the British Go vernment to acquire, " By a reference to the laws of Jamaica, your Excel lency will perceive that this island was spontaneously pro viding for the protection and civilization of the slave, whilst the country which sold him to us was only calcu lating the profit of the traffic. " Our Sovereign has declared to us that his Majesty has observed with great satisfaction various provisions for the improvement of the conditio❑ of the slaves, which, as his Majesty has stated, originated entirely with the Co lonial Legislature. " The finances of the country have been so impove rished by the recentlinsurrection, that it will scarcely he possible to provide for the island pay and subsistence of his Majesty's garrison, and this House regret that your Ex cellency has not as yet received from his Majesty's Minis ters any answer to the humble memorial to our So vereign for relief in this respect—but we do trust that the reply to it will be dictated by a desire to show consideration for the effects of the late unfortunate revolution. " Your Excellency may with confidence rely on our aid in enacting every measure which may be required to discourage seditious and inflammatory language, of the evil effects of which the recent disasters and our present suffer ings have furnished most melancholy proofs. " No endeavour of this House shall be wanting to unite all classes of our society; and your Excellency may depend upon our zealous co-operation in every effort directed to maintain the honour of our Sovereign, and to promote the welfare of this island." To this address his Excellency was pleased to make the following reply : " Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly. " I return you my most sincere thanks for those por ;ions of your address personal to myself, in which you express confidence in my character, and approbation of the first acts of my Government. These assurances acquire even an additional value from their being shared, as you state them to be, by all classes of your constituents. I have also heard with much s itisfaction, that it is your in tention to take measures for preserving inviolate the pub.. lic faith, as well in relation to the garrison, as in all other respects, so far as is compatible with the consideration for the distress of your constituents, which it is your peculiar province to show, and in which distress I most truly sym pathize. " 1 wish that, consistently with my sense of duty, I could here close my reply, and refrain from expressing to you the extreme surprise, and the deep disappointment excited in my mind by various sentiments, and by much of the general tone of your address. The speech with which I thought fit to open your Sessions, was one which, there is none amongst you can doubt, was conceived in the most conciliatory spirit; nor do I believe that any one has thought of accusing it of containing one word at variance with such a spirit. It broached no theory, it required no sacrifice. It announced only for the present a boon and a concession; and for my part to report faithfully and fully from hence; I know not, therefore, how it called for a reply of so extraordinary and so desultory a nature. You state mutual forbearance and conciliation to be the prin. ciples by which the Legislature of Jamaica has always been guided ; I regret the more that this day, when I thought I had least right to expect it, you should have shown to wards me this exception to your general rule. Many of the topics you have introduced I consider most inoppor tunely addressed 'to me on this occasion, and to them, therefore, I hold it to be needless to make any reply. " How far, for instance, you may consider it fitting, in the present state of society, to snake a disclaimer of any community of interest with the great body of the West India proprietors residing in England is a question entirely between you and them, and on which I shall give no opinion further than this; and when you make that distinction in protesting your utter disregard and indiffe rence with respect to the proceedings of the Parliamentary Committees, you might in consistency have recollected, that the first of these inquiries to which you state your selves to have been no party, was repeatedly pressed upon the Government, in conjunction witb the West India I body, by your own accredited agent, with whom your constant communications, at the very moment, too, when you bad vacated the chair of your own House, in order that your most distinguished member should, according to sour own votes, embark for England, so as to be in time to meet the next Session of the Imperial Legislature. " It certainly would not become nie to enter into any discussion with you as to the principles on which you suppose the representation of the people of England to have been amended by the Bill passed for its reform ; nor do I know by what right you assume in addressing me, that the West Indies were indirectly more represented in Parliament than they will be now. It was then, as now, only as representatives, legally elected by the people of the United Kingdom, to superintend the interests of the whole empire, that gentlemen connected with this island could Have a seat in the House, or could belong to one branch CUSTOMS.

DISCOVERY OF A NEST OF POT-STEALERS.— George Newman, a lad about fourteen years of age, was brought before Mr. LAING, charged with being an extensive pot stealer and melter, under the fol lowing circumstances I Inspector Lincoln, of E division, stated that on Friday last he received information from a boy who lodged in the same house as the prisoner, in Buck ridge-street, St. Giles's, that the prisoner and se veral other boys, with men and women, made it their business to go out in the morning with bags and baskets, for the purpose of stealing licensed vic tuallers' pots, and in the course of the day they would return borne and melt them down, after which they would sell the pewter to marine store dealers for a comparative trifle. The informant promised to take him to the place where they car ried on their avocations, and on proceeding there with an officer they found the prisoner, with a quart pot belonging to Mr. Jameson, licensed vic tualler, of No. 10, King-street, Portman-square, which he was about to consign to the crucible. He was instantly taken into custody with the property, but the nest of melters, on hearing of the capture of the prisoner, had since retired to some other quar ter of the metropolis, in order to avoid apprehension. The informant, a lad, about fourteen, of dejected and distressed appearance, stated that he had often seen the prisoner and the gang bring home quanti ties of pewter pots, and melt them. They had re proached him for not pursuing the same line, but he refused; on which they threatened his life if he ever gave information. He became alarmed, and gave information to the police. The prisoner and the others were in the habit of concealing the pots in a drain attached to Aleux's brewery in that neighbourhood. It was stated :that the publicans in the neigh bourhood of the "squares had latterly been consider able losers by having their pots stolen.

John Sullivan, a labourer, and Mary Dale, about eighteen years of age, was charged by Jas. Simpkin, a diminutive fancy article, with having woilantly salted him for nothing wotsurndever, under the fol lowing circumstances : Simpkin, with all his blushing honours thick upon him, rubbing his left cheek bone, which was swollen and discoloured, stated that on Sunday he went out to take a cup of tea with the young woman wot keeps him company ; and after they had tea and a few glasses of rum and water at the White Condick House, they were going home arm.in.arm through Saffron-hill, when the gentleman at the bar came up, and, in the most unpolitest way, put his arms round the shoulders of Sally, his intended better half, and he thonght as how he was going to take unproper liberties. " I said, 'Do you know that 'ere gentleman, Sally ?' your Worship, and says she, No, James; I knows nuffen at all about him.' With that 'ere, says I, Do you know that lady, Sir ?' and without any more cause he hit me over the eye, and down I went in the mud, your Worship; and the lady at the bar began kicking me and drew out a knife. Sally, as was quite natral, screamed out, seeing as how I was in danger; and when I got up I sarehed my pocket. I missed six pence three farthings your Worship." Mr. Simpkin was asked whether he gave no pro vocation ? Simpkin—No, pon my honour; I was never so grossly " salted," and here is striking proofs of his woilance, your Worship. " Where's Sally," inquired the Magistrate? Simpkin—She's under the doctor ? she's so wery narvous that she can't attend. I have taken my haffidavey, and I assure you I did nothing watsum derer, your Worship, to be mauled and kicked. Sullivan insinuated that Simpkin forgot to tell the whole truth. He didn't tell how be insulted him and some friends the night before. On meeting him he did go up to him and hit him on the eye. The girl denied the " salt," saying she good-na turedly went to pick up Mr. Simpkin, after he was knocked down. Her foot might have touched him somewhere, but she positively denied having kicked him. The Magistrate's impression certainly was that the prosecutor had been, as he said, most woilantly saltcd," and in order to convince the defendant and his fair companion that they were not "to take the law into their own hands in future," they were ordered to find bail, for which Sullivan and his fancy article were consigned to durance vile. Q UEEN- S Q UARE. UNSTAMPED ALMANACKS.— On Monday evening two miserable-looking fellows, named Richard Price and William Cochran, were brought before Mr. WHITE, by Colley, one of the Stamp-office agents, charged with selling an unstamped airnatiack, called the People's' Almanack, which purported to be printed and published by John Doyle, No. 12, Li berty-street, New York, price four cents. Colley stated that he saw the prisoners in the Westminster-road offering the almanacks for sale to every person they passed. He purchased one from each of the prisoners, and paid twopence. lie then took them both into custody, a►ad seized the almanacks. Colley here handed to the Magistrate a bundle of almanacks. Mr. WHITE asked the prisoners where they came from ? The prisoners replied that they came from Birmingham. Mr. WHITE asked them what they had to say to the complaint ? The prisoners replied that they could get no work, and they sold the publication to earn a few pence to keep them from starving, in preference to thieving for a livelihood. Colley said that both the prisoners must have known that they were doing wrong, for they had been convicted at Marylebone Police-of f ice for a similar offence, and had only that morning come out of prison. Mr. WHITE committed them both for two months each to Kingston gaol. IMPUDENT ASSAULT.—Geo. Wheeler, of No. 57, Chatham -street, Chelsea, was charged with assault ing Mr. John Gilpin, the landlord of the Mitre and Dove, in King -street, Westminster, under the fol- ' lowing circumstances : The prisoner, it appeared, entered the complain ant's house, and walked into the bar parlour with very great assurance, sat himself down on a chair, and in a few minutes lighted a pipe and began smok ing ; he was told with the greatest civility that no smoking was allowed there, and requested to desist, upon which he struck the landlord a blow. Mr. Gilpin, however, made very short work with his customer, and soon ejected him from the parlour to one of the cells of the station-house in Gardner's lane, where the police took charge both of him and his pipe. _ The defendant, who had not much to say, was fined 20s. for the assault. A SHOCKING BAD CHARACTER.—A young► mar ried woman, named Ann Jones, was charged by her brother, Daniel Healey, a seaman, with robbing him of a purse, containing ss. 6d. After a patient hearing there did not appear to be the slightest ground for the charge, and Mr. WHITE ordered her to be discharged. Ann Jones now charged her brother with being a deserter from his Majesty's service. Healey, who appeared rather startled at the charge declared it was false. Mr. WHITE asked her when he deserted ? Ann Jones replied that he was a deserter from his Ma jesty's frigate Vernon. A police constable of the L division, who took heyo . ung woman into custody, said that, from what he had heard, he itelieved the brother to be a de- serter. Healey, to his great astonishment, was ordered :o be detained, and Mr. WHITE ordered the con- stable to go to Somerset-house and make the neces sary inquiries. On the return of the constable he stated to the Magistrate that it was perfectly true that Healey was a deserter from the Vernon; but he bore such a shocking bad character in the ship, and was so in corrigible, that they did not wish him to be de tained, and he was at liberty to go where he liked, for they would not have him again in the navy. Healey was of course discharged, and left the office, declaring that his character was the best friend he had got. THAMES-OFFICE. CURIOUS APPLICATION.—Mr. Fagan, an inspec tor of K division, of the new police, accompanied by a woman, decently attired, named 'Walter, applied to Mr. BRODERIP for his advice as to how he should dispose of certain property in his possession, which formerly belonged to William Francis, a man of colour, who was murdered by a woman, named Catherine Bainbridge, at a house in the Match-walk, Shadwell, last summer. It will be recollected that the woman was subsequently found g uilty of " Man slaughter." Mr. Fagan said that, in the pockets of the deceased, he found a will, in which he be queathed all the property he might be possessed of, to Sarah Elizabeth Walter. This person had put in her claim, but the woman Bainbridge, who was now under sentence of transportation in Newgate, Total. Qrs.

Before he gave op the property he wished to have the Magistrate's directions. Mr. BRODERIP said he must decline giving any directions, but he had no objection to go out cf his way in giving Mr. Fagan, who was an old and experienced officer, his advice. The woman Bain bridge could not legally demand any portion of tl e property. She was a felon, and all she had belonged to the Crown. The inspector could make himself perfectly easily about her. If the will was prov d the female named therein was entitled to the p,o petty; but if it was not he had better take care what he was about, for if he was to part with the pro perty to the wrong person he might have an actio•t brought against him. Mr. Fagan said the will was still in his posse , - slot), and it was to prevent the possibility of his motives being misconstrued that he had made this -Application. The felon, Bainbridge, had, with the consent of Mr. Wontner, the Governor of Newgate, written three letters to him, claiming certain articles of female wearing apparel found in the room where the man was killed,and Mr. Wontner expected them to be delivered to her. In the last letter the woman said she expected to be sent away to New South Wales every day. Mr. BRODERIP said the inspector must act as he should be advised ; but he could not certainly direct him to give any thing up to a felon, whose property, if she had any, belonged to the Crown. The woman Walter here stated, that Mr. George Hall, the landlord of the Barley Mow, was a wit ness to, and had signed the will in her favour, but she had no objection to give up the few articles claimed by Bainbridge, Mr. Symonds, the chief clerk, said the Sheriffs would most likely claim them, He was surprised they had not already done so. Mr. Fagan said the Sheriffs generally waived their claim in such cases, where the articles were not of great value, more particularly as the county saved by that mode of arrangement. After some further discussion, during which Mr. Fagan said he had no doubt the deceased intended to give his property to Walter, the parties retired, the inspector having taken nothing by his motion, but he was advised by Mr. BRODERIP to act with caution. Mr. Fagan subsequently stated that as soon as he bad mentioned the circumstance to the Commissioners, he should deliver the will and pro perty, which is of considerable value, to Walter the legatee. A STUBBORN APPRENTicE,—lifichacl Carnes, an apprentice belonging to the brig Ann, a collier, was charged with refusing to obey his master's law ful commands, and attempting to strike him. Mr. James Gilbert, the master of the vessel, said that he found the prisoner skulking below, and ordered him to go on deck. He him and re fused, on which witness seized him by the collar and was shoving him forward, when he called him by a most opprobrious epithet and put his tist in his face. The prisoner continued to abuse him, and a struggle took place, during which he attempted to draw his knife, and was with difficulty restrained from using violence. He absolutely refused to work at all. This sort of behaviour he had often repeated. He had in fact more than once put the ship in jeopardy, and was constantly swearing. The boy, in a sullen manner, said his master had told cursed lies and abused him grossly. He refused to make an apology or promise better behaviour. Mr. BRODERIP said the apprentice evinced a dogged disposition ; and, after several vain efforts to make him sensible of his folly, sentenced him to a month's solitary imprisonment. UNION-HALL. On Monday, an elderly man r►amed Ebbs, was brought up from thestation-house of the R division, charged with using abusive language, and threatening to fight the Rev. Mr. Hardwicke, Rector of Rother hithe, and also with committing an assault on the sexton of the parish. It appeared that on Sunday afternoon, while the Reverend complainant was engaged in reading the burial service over the corpse of an old woman who died in the workhouse, the defendant, who seemed to have been drinking, rushed into the churchyard, and approaching Mr. Hardwicke in a menacing at titude, said he bad come there to lick the old parson.. The action and manner of the intruder, under such circumstances, had the effect of interrupting the service, and materially lessening the solemnity of the occasion, the attention of the bystanders having been called from witnessing a serious duty to that of beholding the ridiculous antics of a drunken fool. The sexton, who interfered to prevent any further interruption, was seized by the defendant, who, be ing a powerful man, tore the frill of his shirt in the scuffle. He then turned round upon the parson again, and exclaimed, " Can you fight, you old -," and would have violated the sacredness of the place by striking the Rev. Gentleman had he not been prevented, and taken by force away out of the churchyard to the station-house. The Magistrate asked the defendant, who ap peared to be ashamed of his conduct, why he bad . . presumed to enter the churchyard and behave in the gross and unbecoming manner that had been represented. The defendant said that he was heartily sorry for what had occurred, which he attributed to the impression made upon his mind by the circum stance of the body of the deceased having been cut and hacked about by the doctors in the workhouse, because she died there. He admitted that he had been drinking freely on the morning of the funeral, and the fact of the old woman, who was his grand mother, being served in the manner he described, operating upon his feelings, he had the folly of venting bis indignation upon those whom he was now convinced were no way concerned in the trans- action. He added that he was a poor man, that he had a wife and family, and as he was willing to show lais contrition for what had taken place, he trusted that his misconduct would be overlooked this time. The sexton said that the deceased expired of a complaint not very prevalent, and that some of her own near relatives having expressed a desire to have a post mortent examination, the body was merely opened for the purpose of ascertaining the cause of her death. The Reverend Complainant having expressed a desire not to press the matter further, as the de fendant had evinced contrition for his conduct, he was merely fined for being drunk, and cautioned not to enter a churchyard again under such circum stances. WHITBY.—Sucb has been the reckless expenditure which has taken place at Whitby, in order to secure the election of Mr. Chapman, the Conservative candidate, that the funds of Trinity-house, or the Conservative funds, have been drawn upon very largely. This election is supposed to have cost the Tories not less than from 6,0001. to 7,0001. Mr. Mooraom by a majority of 217 to 139.--Liverpool Eercury.
