BARBA DOES. BRIDGE-TOWN, JULY 25. On Tuesday last, a General Election of Re presentatives for the Colonial Assembly of this island took place in the several parishes, when the old members were returned' with the exception of James C. Kellman, Esq., for St. George's, in the room of Thomas Howard Griffith, Esq., vice John Crichlow, Esq., who resigned; and in St. Peter's, Samuel Hinds, Esq., in the room of Philip L. Hinds, Esq., who also resigned. There being no opposition, the polls were closed at an early hour, whilst every thing was conducted " with de cency and in order." JULY 30. His Excellency Sir H. Warde this day went in state from Government House to the Town Hall, to meet the other branches of the Colonial Parliament ; and from its being the commencement of a new Session, thettovener, .upon the re presentatives in the House of Assembly appearing before him in the Council Chamber, was pleased to deliver the following Address : " Mr. President, and Gentlemen of his Majesty's Council, " Twelve months have now elapsed since I first had the ho nour of addressing you from this chair; and it is with sincere and strong feelings of gratification, that I oiler you my best thanks for the able advice and ready assistance which you have rendered me in conducting the important and difficult duties of my situation. " I trust that the confidence which now exists between us, • may not only continue, but be increased and more firmly ce mented by a longer and more perfect knowledge of each other ; as I am convinced that only one sentiment prevails in common with us all—that of an anxious and heartfelt desire to endea vour to promote the general good of the public; and, with such sentiments, I yet entertain a sanguine hope that all eyes may be turned to that alone; and that tranquillity, harmony, and happiness may be restored to the country by the well.com bined co-operation of all the branches of the Legislature. " Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly, "The present house appearing (with very few exceptions) to consist of the same members as those of the last year, it may not be improper for me now to express to them and to their Speaker my very warmest thanks for the general kiird attention shown to my wishes, publicly and officially made known to . them ; and I most sincerely and feelingly regret, that my las t should have proved an exception ; as Intrust I speak with no erroneous confidence when 1 say, Gentlemen, there as not one among you who will notdo me the justice to believe, that my mes sage to the Speaker, conveying an especial call of the House, accompanied by a docunfent explanatory of my reasons for that call, did not proceed from any desire to dictate to the House, but unequivocally and solely from an earnest and heartfelt de- Sire to promote the welfare of the community by the expression of my wish, which had ever previously met with so much kind attention : and now, acting from the very same feelings; and considering it my duty, as well as that of the other branches of the Legislature, to endeavour to relieve the severe and cruel sufferings under which the poor of St. Michael's have too long been labouring (and more particularly when the very existence: of some may be at stake by delay), I do again bes'eech you, its the name of humanity, no longer to allow any cause to shut your ears to the loud cries of the poor; but to a&rd them some prompt and permanent relief, by an immediate act for a levy to be raised by the late vestry of St. Michael's, and to add a clause to the bill now in force, to oblige all future vestries to act until new ones may be elected. • " Since the last meeting of the council, the draught of a Bill for the amendment of the slave-laws has been shown to me; oti which'. in the present stage of the business, I have nothing to remark, more than to state, for your genera/ information, that I cannot affix my name to any Bill enacting a new capital of fence, unlesS it shall contain a clause suspending the execution thereof until the same shall have received his 3lajesty's ap probation. " I would strongly recommend to your attention the nu merous evils which constantly arise from the want of a police in Bridge-town ; with the hope that you may, after the due con sideration of a subject of such great importance, be enabled to enact a well-framed Bill for the establishment of an effective and energetic one, which might include all the various branches necessary for the preservation of good order, as well as those for the prevention of the improper landing of aliens, and of persons labouring under infectious diseaseas. In my humble opinion, such a measure would prove one of the most beneficial which could possibly be adopted for the good of your country. " I shall now, Gentleman, conclude by offeringyou all my hearty congratulations on the present truly cheerit b yr prospect of a most plentiful crops of every description, wifich;by a con tinuance of God's blessings; I entertain a well-founded hope, may be brought to maturity, and in great measure tend to re lieve the country from its sufferings and distresS." TOBAGO. ADIYRESS OE THE' HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY: " To His Excellency Sir Frederick Philip Robinson, &c. " May it please Your Excellency, " The House of General Assembly, the representatives of the free independent electors of Tobage), present themselves before you!' Excellency with assurances of their loyalty and attach.' went to our most gracious Sovereign George the Fourth. " The general pecuniary distress prevailing in this colony in ducet his Majesty's faithful subjects to address yohr Excel lency, in the hope that some relief may be given, so as to en able the eolony to support themselves under the presture of the burdens now weighing so heavily on them. " When your Excellency was appointed to the government of this island, the finances of this colony were in a flourishing state, and the produce of the islhnd, the source from which our means were crrawn, bore such a propottionate value, as enabled the planter to - meet the charges and expenses necessary for sup; porting the character and loyalty of the colony. " In consequence of such flourishing state our finances, the colony was enabled to grant - to your Excellency the Sum of 4,0001. per annum (a salary much larger than ever given to former Governors) for the purpose of enabling your Excellency to support the character of the colony, always famed for hospi tality and the dignity of the Governor. " That this colony, from the depreciation of its staple com modities, as per statement annexed, and the very small crops made, owing to the very dry weather last year, the actual neces sity of providing means for the public buildings now erecting and about to be erected, find themselves totally unable to con tinue your Excellency's salary. They conceive they would be unworthy of the confidence reposed in them by their constitu ents, did they not lay before your Excellency such a statement of their burdens as may induce your Excellency to follow the worthy example of our most gracious Sovereign George the Fourth, who, being well aware of the distresses of our mother country, and anxious to contribute to the relief of the burdens pressing so heavily on his subjects, has, with true paternal love for his subjects, reduced the expenditure of the civil list. " The once wealthy colony of Jamaica has been\compelled With reluctance to reduce the salary of his Grace the Duke of Manchester, although that nobleman, by hiS upright' and im partial administration ° , had- obtained the Suffrages and good opinion of all classes; and nothing could have induced such a measure, but the overwhelming distrets of that populous and extensive colony. cc Ilis - Majesty's.faithful subjects, knowing - that your Eicel lency is well acquainted with the pecuniary distress' pressing upon all classes, and that yoiir Excellency is sensible of the miseries of the colony, for whose welfare you have alWays ex presSed an attachment, hope that your Excellency will set such ' an example to the public officers, whose salaries far exceed the means of the colony. 44 That this House, from feelings of respect and delicacy, are Unwilling to originate any measure in the shape of a bill for reducing your Excellency's salary, trusting that under such strong representations as have been ungle, , and - under the know. ledge of the facts of our distresses and calamities, you will give such relief as the dire necessity of the times demand. " It is the intention of this House to proceed immediately to the reduction of the salaries of other public officers, as it is, impossible in the preient distresSed state of the colony to con-, tinue them at the present rate any longer.

" House of Aisembly, July 11, 1822." • Statement °like Expenses attendant on an Estate in this Island vr 250 Ate rocs, and of the actual loss at its present Crops, and which fairly may be taken as an Average of all the other Estates in the Island, in proportion to the number of.

TIIE GOVERNOR'S REPLY. " Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of General Assembly, " In the address with which you honoured me yesterday, it is stated that my salary is much larger than any ever before, granted to a Governor, which I admit ; but I must bring to your recollection that my immediate predecessor received large pecuniary presents from the colony, whereas I have expended nearly three thousand pounds currency in improving the Go vernment house and grounds, the latter being a perfect wilder ness when I arrived. " The address further observes, that in consequence of the heavy pecuniary distress now existing, the colony is unable to defray the expense of the public buildings now erecting or about to belzected. If so, why not defer any new buildings until they can be proceeded upon without inconvience ? " Instead of the mode about to be adopted for raising sup.: plies, surely it would, be more just and reasonable to call upon the absentees to contribute at least 20 per cent. fnim the sums they annually draw from their estates to support them in the enjoyment of the comforts of 'Etitope Those gentlemen ought to be the first to come forward on this occasion when the secu. rity and profit of their property is at stake. " I see_no reason why the address should bring to my recol lection the conduct of our gracious Sovereign with regard to his reduction of the expenditure of the civil list. His Majes ty's generosity and goodness of heart has ever been, and continue to be, an example to his subjects, and to all the world. But I require no stimulus to urge me to do that which 1 consider right ; the principles of rectitude and duty are suf ficient in themselves for my guidance, in either my public or private station. " Still less do I conceive the necessity for mentioning the Duke of Manchester ; for, where the whole amount or toy salary to be dedUcted from that of his Grace, it would not be perceived. . " The AddreSS remarks on the attachment I haVe always expressed for the colony. I confidently appeal to the whole community to declare whether my actions have not correspond ed with my words in every practicable instance. " I am called upon for a voluntary contribution' from my sa lary, within a few months after the full .salary of 3,0001. per annum had been granted tqthe Chief Justice during his absence from the colony : were I to go to Europe, either-from choice or necessity, my whole income would cease. " The Address has not left me the optioß of a voluntary offering, for it strongly insinuates, that unless I do conic for- Ward the House will resort to a Bill for the reduction of my salary. That part of the Address, therefore, cannot be consi dered as an appeal to my liberality. 44 That the Colony is greatly circumscribed in its means at present, cannot be denied ; but there is evidently a prospect of better times. But there is no such hope for me ; for on the 25th instant, two of the Major-Generals out of the three hold ing Governments will be reduced, when their staff pay and al lowances will cease, and the remaining one will have such an increase of expence in his half-yearly inspections as will con slime a very considerable part of his income. " The House of Assembly expects that 1 will set an example . to the public officers, whim is' evidently unnecessary, as a re duction of their salaries has been already resolved on. " With regard to myself, the House or' Assembly shall not be disappointed, it being my intention, provided I remain on the staff, on the Ist of January, 1823, to authorise the public Treasurer to make such quarterly reductions from my salary for the public service, as will leave no doubt of my determina tion to serve the Colony. " July 12, 1822. " F. P.' ROBINSON,. Governor." REJOINDER., " To his Excellency Sir Frederick Philip Robinson, Knight Commander of the Most Honourable Military Order of the Bath, Captain-General and !Governor in Chief in and over the Island of Tobago and its Dependencies, &c. &c. &c. " May it please your Excellency, " The Speaker and House of General Assembly beg leave again to approach your Excellency, and renew their assurances of unbounded loyalty and attachment tutheir most gracious Sovereign. " The House have heard with pain and extreme regret, the answer your Excellency has been pleased to give to the repre sentation of the calamities and distresses of this once flourish ing colony. The facts stated by this House are so strong and overwhelming, and so many additional ones are constantly presenting themselves, that this Holt - se contemplate with fear, dread, and anxiety, the future prospects of the colony. " This House are perfectly aware of the additional grants made to your Excellency's immediate predecessor, but beg leave to inform your Excellency that one of these grants, to the amount of 83M., was made to enable his Excellency, Sir William Young, to furnish Government House,_ which was is a must destitute condition ; and the other, to the amount of 1,0001., was given to enable Sir William Young to support the dignity and character of the colony. But this House beg leave to observe, that Sir William Young had no Staff appoint ment, and in every other respect his income was greatly Cir- . cuiuscribed. That Sir William Young expended the whale of his salary as Governor ih the Colony, in supporting its-re putation for hospitality, and it was but common justice to snake him sonic compensation, as by his liberality and genero sity he in an extraordinary degree raised the character of the colony, and gave it a lustre which it Would have still, no doubt, enjoyed, but for the overwhelining distress which is pressing upon it. "The House have heard with astonishment the magnitude of the slim expended by your Excellency in improving the Go- - vernment House and grounds, but they beg leave to call to your recollection, the returns laid • before this .house of the immense sums expended since your Excellency's appointment to the command of this colony ; on this object aniounting to no less than a sum of twelve thousand pounds. " Your Excellency must be perfectly aware of the situation of the colony as to its public buildings, and of the impossibility of stopping the erection of such as are in progress : were the erection of these buildings to be discontinued, the colony would be without a house in which to hold courts for the adnilnistra tion of justice, the old Court-hotise being in such me ruinous condition as tb render it unsafe any number of persbnsf to meet therein ; and as to the erection of other buildings pensably necessary (a jail for instance), this hotteis wholly - unable to carry the same intUeffect without some assistance And relief. "This }ntie beg leave to recall to your Excellency's recol.' lection the urgency with which your Excellency pressed' the necessity of erecting such buildings; both to this house and elsewhere. And this house cannot forget that all your influence was exerted for carrying into effect measures so essentially necessary for the character and reputation of the colony. " The mode of raising a tax on absenteei has often beery sug gested to the consideration of individual members of this house, but insuperable difficulties have presented themselves 'to such a measure, and this house well khow that such a mode of taxation is strongly reprobated by his Majesty's Government. Consultations have been repeatedly held with the law officers of the Crown on the subject, but the measure has never been deemed advisable. And this house cannot but think that were such a tax to obtain the sanction of his Majesty's Government, PKICE SEVENE;Ei‘;Ci it would operate as an extreme hardship upon infants seat home to England lot education, and on some of the ahseriteei *rho have passed the greater part of their lives in this unhealthy climate, and have retired after literally bearing the ,heat anti, burden of the day to enjoy their ctiiipi cign dignitate in the land of theit fOrefatheri—the land of iliberty; happiness, and !freedom; . , The allusiOn made by this louse to the liberality of our. Most gracious Sovereign Was Made with no othey view than show-that even Majesty. itself,. which ought always to, be sur rounded With splendour, felt itself ealled..nponin these calami .tous times to give tip part of th4t proYision granted by a gene rous people for the support of its dignity and honour. " And with a view of ,refuting an ,opinion• that • had gone abroad, that on no occasion the salariesdf goiernorshad been reduced, did this licitisibring to yoUrEicellendy'S recollection the case of the reduction of the _salaryof his..Grace.the Duke of Manchester. This Hodge -cannot,agree with your Excellency in the view yoti have 'taken of the matter. The reduction of tit; govern Or's salary inso wealthy and populous a'eOlony_as Ja-, inaica is a most convincing proof of the distress,generally pre valent in the West India islands. " This House do not wish to diiicuss the merits of your Ex cellency's administration .of. the colony„; impartial history will One day review it, and posterity will decide upon the WhOle. But this House do declare that it was-incluced.o ailopythe anode of an,address to your Excellency in_ preference to the originating .z.Billo!oticeiitingyoUrExcellency would appreciate the motives which actuated : this House, Aral fondly hoPing;fittatilte attach ment so often manifeste d for the welfare. of the colony in public and private by' four EXCellencY; that you would, on such a faithful representation of our cabinities as we have laid before you, have induced without hesitation tugive up part of your income (far exceeding our means) to meet the wants of the colony tottering on the very brink of ruin. " The house, on looking for Ward; can see , no prospect of better times ; the staple manufactures of this colony are daily diminishing in value. The intercourse with the United States, so much . ' talked of, and from which is expected by the sangtiine, is not likely to be so beneficial in its conse quences; for by late accounts from that quarter, rum does,not, produce ksufficient return to enable the planter to. pay the ex pence of Making it. " In continuing the salary of the Chief jtistice during his absence froT the colony on leave granted by - ' , Orr Eicellency, thii house considered itself as discharging. a debt to an old. servant to this colony,.and that Mr.. Piggot, at his advanced period of life, borne down by the Weight of domestic afflic tion, was entitled to the favour, kindness, and protection of this House. " CIMISTOPIIER IRVINE, Speaker.

" What I have heard in this address only serves to confirnt the propriety and justness of my answer to your first address." THE BISHOP OF PETERBOItaUGH. REMARKS on a SECOND ATTACK on the BISHOP of PETERBOROUGH in the HOUSE of LORDS, June 7, 1822. _ . ( Concluded frona yesterday's Sux.) Let the Bench of Bishops consider the ,accumulated dignit; of character attached to their seats in the Ilot;seof Linils: They ao not, as the oppugneis of our hieratelly Would hive it believ- . ed; they do not sit there as cyphers ; as men who have little or no concern with the great objects Of discuision that are, day by day, rapidly passing before than. No: They occupy their senatorial stations in - a twofold capacity; as the representatives of the nation, and as the ambassadors of IleaVen. Before them is spread out the solemn, congregated, duty , of consult ing the well-being of their fellow-creattires in one world, and of preparing them for their departure &nil acceptance in another. Let them not suffer,, themselves to be .entrenched upon in these great privileges, or to be deluded from, or alarm ed at their exerciii6. - These two high and holy interests are one.' They cannot .be, divided—they cannot be Commuted— they cannot be ifeglected... A Goveinnient originating . bad laws will-mate bad subjects., A Parliament bracing up, in its acts and its edicts, incentives to immorality will turn church dis cipline into a farce, paralyze declarationS; statutes, and canons,- and deracinate the very sum and subitande of Christianity. A. perpetual eye, therefore, must be had to every legislative pro ceeding, as well as . to every intemperate opposition; an eye tlrat never Will slumber over the'political, because it never dares to slumber over the religious welfare of the community, never dares to stand by and see a dull, desperate,. Whig faction seize upon virtue, and tear her very heart out. Where these learned Prelates then have a vote and a voice, let them have a spirit also; a trtie British, ever more insepa rable from a true Christian spirit. As a body of men, none are more respectable. Blit while their private conduct is highly exemplary, we would be glad to see their public conduct, as parts of the legislative body, exemplary . alSo. What in the name of wonder is it that enervates them ? If they have done nothing to tremble for before. God, why should they be afraid of the face of man ? lff their hearts be where their treasure, ought to be, they will seek their preferment where a Christian dignity and Manliness of conduct wilt be no bar to promotion. It is not the vain glories and magnificence of an evanescent existence like this that should weigh with men who are daily witnessing the confusions of one world, and daily preparing themselves and theirflocks for the quiet habitations of another., The road to their "heaven by Canaan" they must pursue in the direct face of Heaven*, whose Court favour will be found to rest with " the poor, and the maimed, and the halt and the blind ;" with those who can serve no turn whatever for them at present but who will hereafter constitute their crown and their glory, when they depart together to that " land' where all things shall be forgotten" but innocence and goodness. With the due discharge then of these soothing duties appet taining to their profession, let the Prelates of the Church of England associate the due exertion of their rights as senators: This will do more to fix them in the estimation of the people, Whose hearts their Whig udversaries are daily turning against them, than any silent vote they may be prevailed upon to give, let it be given with what judicious policy it may. The times are critic4l,, and the country looks up to them, in conjunction with wise and good men of every persuasion, for the best ex ercise of their legislative duties, and the strongest support of the laws and government of the realm. Let the ,Bench of Bishops be what they are intended to be, the " strong refuge to flee unto;" the safeguard of Church and State in the day of adversity.' Their influence is powerful, let it be power fully exerted • and above all let it be fearlessly exerted:, lf, in conclusion, the times of Charles I.—no imprsbable event—are destined, for our manifold offenees; again to return, we know what will be the condition of the orthodox Clergy of the Church of England. They will fall the first sacrifice. But let their weak and imprudent adversarieS remember,- that this first sacrifice will not be the last—that the perturbed spirit that shall overthrow the Church must, with but little pause 'oetweer, cower over the ruins of the State—that the fate of ,any one de scription of men of property shall but be the precursor of the fate of all—and, to wind up , the tragedy in an anarCgous con formity with all past precedents, that the calumnies with which the Whigs are daily inundating and degenerating the country will merge into an " even-handed' justice," that shall in stantaneously " commend the ingredients Of the poisoned cha lice" to their own perverting, cowardly, and quivering lips. I haie done: shave contributed my mite towards the cation Of the . Bishop of Peterborough from the slanders'of his enemies and from the silence of his friends. The attack'matie Upon hith, both in' the present instance and in the fornier,'has been as wanting in the information requisite to such an under taking, as in the correctness and courtesy by which it ought to have been accompanied. I am' not likely to repent of the little ceremony with which I have treated the Whig junto of tilt realm, that night-hag that is, dayafter day, oppressing the country with frightful dreams and driving it to desperation. his but paying them in their own coin. his but adopting . the fashion of their nivn conversation, and manifesting towards them that aversion and contempt which they have long mani fested towards all who dissent from them. When they give us ground to think better of them, we will do it with pleasure ; but'while they continue to think, and speak, and act, as they do,' let them not be surprised that " with what measure they mete," it should, in justice and necessity, " be measured to them again." They are becoming a worthless set of men, whose enmity to virtue will do her less harm than their friend ship. To leave them to the gnawings of their conscience would draw after it no reformation. We must take a more effectual method—we must deliver them over to the correction of their • folly.
