Purch The Royal Mail steam-ship Solent, Captain Jel licoe, arrived at Southampton just before noon yesterday, bringing the usual West India and Pacific mails, in charge of Lieutenant Purver, R.N., Admiralty agent. Her dates are— Greytown Oct. 18 'Carriac3a Oct. 28 Chagres 24 St. Vincent — 28 Carthagena Santa Martha 7 Martinique — 28 Jamaica 26 Guadaloupe — 28 Hayti 2B Dominica - 28 Porto Rico — 31 Antigua — 29 Berbice Demerara - 30 Tobago — 27 St. Kitts — 30 Trinidad . Barbadoes — 27 Belize, Honduras, 18 Grenada The Solent experienced moderately fine weather with head winds for the first three days after leav ing St. Thomas's, but subsequently an uninter rupted succession of north-east winds and gales, with a heavy sea. Her passage has, therefore, been a more protracted one than would have been the case if the excellent steaming qualities of the ves sel had been favoured with better weather. The passengers have presented a congratulatory letter to Captain Jellicoe, eulogising his professional con duct during the voyage. This steamer brings 45 passengers, and on freight golddust and bars value $199.528, specie (gold and silver) value $582,623, and silver value $267,731, the total value being $1,049, 982, or 211,3061. ster ling. The freight list also comprises precious stones value $6,650, 131 serons of cochineal, 4 cases of cigars, 7 bales of sarsaparilla, 15 cases of tortoise shell, 10 cases of succades, 351 serons and cases of bark, 16 packages of mineral specimens, and 46 packages of sundries. The advices from Jamaica are to the evening of the 26th ult., the steamer having left Kingston on the morning of the 27th, at daylight. Public at tention was entirely engrossed by the proceedings consequent on the opening of the Legislature, which was called together on the 18th ult. Since then, up to the departure of the steamer, the business had been chiefly of a routine character. The Go vernor's opening speech is as follow : " Gentlemen of the Council, Mr. Speaker, and Gen tlemen of the Assembly,—l have called you together for a new session at the earliest opportunity after my arrival, earnestly hoping that the communications which I am authorised by her Majesty's Government to lay before you may lead to the immediate termination of those lamentable dissensions which have, for nearly six months past, deprived the island of the fostering care of a Legislature, disorganised its public and parochial in stitutions, and materially aggravated its financial em barrassments, by suspending the collection of the ordi nary revenues. " It is far from my intention to advert in detail to the origin of the long-pending disputes which have brought things to so unhappy a pass ; still less to pronounce any opinion, in the necessarily imperfect state of my know ledge, upon the comparative merits of the position taken up on either side. " I can perfectly sympathise, on the one hand, with the natural anxiety of the representatives of a suffering community to reduce the costs of establishments gene rally into nearer proportion with its diminished wealth. I can, on the other, appreciate the reluctance of those whose constitutional functions it is to interpose a check upon popular impulse to concur in arrangements, which appeared to them uncalled for by the extent of the actual emergency, and at variance with those principles of good faith to which the State is bound to adhere as rigidly in dealing with its humblest servant as man towards man in the transactions of private life. " But there is not, so far as I can judge, anything ir reconcileable in these conflicting views, and I confidently trust that, with the aid of a loan not exceeding 50,0001., which the mother country is ready to offer for the pur pose, you will be able in friendly concert to devise mea sures which, without pressing with greater severity than the circumstances of the time demand upon those whose - offices it may, in a general revision, be determined either to abolish altogether, or to reduce in value, will, never theless, insure a larger immediate diminution of taxation than the most sanguine economist could heretofore reckon on. "It is my gratifying duty, however, to announce to you that I am empowered to hold out prospects of far more extended relief to the productive industry of Ja maica than could arise from any possible reduction of official salaries, in the shape of a guarantee by the Im perial Parliament of the entire island debt, not already so secured. The benefits of such a guarantee would not be confined to a mere temporary alleviation of the enor mous annual burden which that debt entails, since the reduction of the charge for interest would be so large as to enable you, out of a portion of the saving, to provide for the gradual liquidation of the principal at no very remote period. Nor could her Majesty's Ministers, I ain confident, hesitate to propose to Parliament, pro vided only the mode of regulating the revenue and ex penditure of Jamaica be assimilated to that which has so long maintained the financial credit of Great Britain at the highest pitch, to advance further loans to an ex tent sufficient for the introduction of a continuous stream of immigrants, to supply the void in the labour market created by the sad ravages of cholera and smallpox, and to aid in developing the vast natural resources of this beautiful island more rapidly and effectually than its present limited population permits. " The details of pecuniary operations of such magni tude will, of course, require deliberate consideration, and I shall be ready, at the proper time, to enunciate to you what further information I possess of the views of Government as to the securities required. "Meanwhile I may briefly state that the generous proposals to which I have alluded, sanctioned as they have been with surprising unanimity by the leading statesmen in both Houses of Parliament, are founded upon no design of fettering in the slightest degree that legislative independence which for nearly two centuries the people of Jamaica have so proudly cherished—are coupled with no conditions derogatory to the first repre sentative constitutions that ever existed—but emanate solely from the sincere sympathy felt by the British nation at large for the misfortunes of one of its most ancient and important colonies. "It is in a similar spirit that you are urged by all parties at home no longer to delay the introduction of such political reforms as the experience of the mother country has demonstrated to be most conducive to efficient and economical government, and best calculated to avert the recurrence of ruinous struggles between the various powers of the State. I well know with how much jealousy suggestions'of this sort must naturally be re ceived by the large class who, looking back to the effort which it cost the earlier colonists to erect the great bul wark of civil and religious liberty in this island, have learnt to regard the peculiar institution which sprang subsequently thereout as the acme of human wisdom. " Such feelings are worthy of every respect, but I must in all courtesy remind those who entertain them that no form of government was ever yet so perfect as not to require, in the lapse of ages, to be modified in accordance with the varying interest and progressive requirements of society. Witness the British constitu tion itself—the great model for the colonial dependencies of the empire—which has undergone so many successive reformations for those ends within a comparatively re cent period. " Here, on the contrary, a social revolution, unparal leled in extent and completeness in the annals of history, has taken place during the last quarter of a century, with scarcely any deviation from the previous motion of public business. What Jamaica stands pre-eminently in need of at the present stage of her political progress is a strong executive Administration, consisting of up right and intelligent men chosen from among her own citizens, to devote themselves to the exclusive study of her condition, charged with the sole responsibility of all matters of finance, and serving as an acknowledged medium of communication between the representation of the Crown, the Council, and the House of Assembly. 'way e tfhtehehaLremgoisnlaiotuusre coe-operation eeu o r f ed th in e several any question of impor tance, and the theory of represen tativen government be ca rried to its only le g itimate con clusion. The improve ments effected under such a s y stem branchesthis of his policy wo uld be disclosed to and freely canvassed in a governor's p osition would be that the whole course by the colonists ; that there would be as little risk of collision between himself and either house as between the Sovereign and Parliament ; and that the time wasted in discussing bills to which it is wholly out of his power to assent would be saved, and in many cases the irritat ing use of the veto avoided. t, The bearing of the proposed change upon the re lations between the Council and Assembly would be no less advantageous, especially as there could no longer be a of the and the slightest objection on the part of the Crown to r ender the former in every respect as it has long virtu ally been in practice, or so add to it a larger number of t landed e d department opportunities proprietors, so a afforded o tr publicode d fr identify service, the i gradual a s closely nd for as Bible with the views of those permanently interested in introduc tion p pos sible the colony. But the most benefi c i a l resu lt o f a ll would be n the of well-considered and wholesome reforms into every legisla tion of a more comprehensive and vigorous character than any individual member can be expected to origi nate and carry by his unassisted and unremunerated exertions. "I have dwelt, perhaps, longer than I need have done on the first simple step toward the cause of the political disorders to which Jamaica is so peculiarly subject, espe cially as I may have to address you again by message in reference to the particulars of the plan. That plan may not prove a panacea for all the ills that a fflict the colony, but at any rate, it is no untested the or y of govrnnirati no new-fangied experiment in constitutioni o mai e e cino I b given by , is proposed as the basis of the guars British constitution, lowing out of the principles of ovisions which can alone through the introduction of pr sentative system in any render the working of the rep!-e effective. country harmonious and Gentlemen of the Assembly,—lt the mother country for your debt, lowing b n u t t ee a consistent fol " Mr. Speaker, supplies requisite to meet the out to grant the o'f the Treasury, and to uphold the standing obligations during the ensuing year upon an public establishmen ts adequate scale. for me to tell you of the ruinous 1 It i s unnecessary of the claims which, from the non-passing of a mount acts are daily accumulating against the only remains that sahnoduld I request you, in her Majesty's the usual revenue f inflicted on all classes of the community ; nor need I remind you of the even greater evils which must result Island Treasury, or of the misery and distress thereby from the expiration of the rum &ties, and from the parish vestries being left without authority to raise funds for the support of the poor or the repair of the roads. _ " I fear, however, that your wisdom may be tasked to the utmost to find the means of restoring the revenue to its former productiveness, owing to the large stocks of imported goods, which must affect the yielding of the Customs' duties for a long time after their reimposition, while the excise on rum can hardly for years be expected to recover. "This is the more to be regretted, because there can be no question of the desirableness of reducing, at as early a period as possible, the very heavy rates imposed by the late tariffs upon the chief necessaries of life, as of abolishing, as you have already had in contemplation, the excessive charges heretofore levied upon shipping frequenting your ports. ‘ 7 I earnestly trust that your local knowledge and ex perience may enable you to discover some method of providing for the expenditure indispensably requisite, without postponing such reductions indefinitely ; and I can assure you, for my own part, in perfect sincerity and truth, that not only shall I always be disposed to con cur in any arrangement consistent with justice and effi ciency for lightening the public burdens, but that it is my anxious desire to secure the adoption of that systematic and searching economy which the distressed circum stances of the colony imperatively demand. " Gentlemen of the Council, Mr. Speaker, and Gen tlemen of the Assembly,—Gloomy as is the actual posi tion of affairs, I see nothing to justify despondency in the minds of those to whom the future destinies of Jamaica are at this moment intrusted. Much, un doubtedly, there is to afford ground for grave reflection, and to enjoin extreme caution and forbearance on the part of all of us. May He, by whom the whole world is governed and preserved, inspire our deliberations with prudence and concord, and bless our humble endeavours to promote civilisation and industry, and restore happi ness and prosperity to this distracted country." This speech, which was delivered on the 18th of October, was not replied to until the 21st. The Assembly's address is headed, " To his Excellency Sir Henry Barkly —the Humble Address of the Assembly." The subjoined are the principal paragraphs : " We, her Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Assembly of Jamaica, beg respectfully to offer to your Excellency our sincere congratulations upon your Ex cellency's appointment to the government of this im portant and once wealthy colony. We tender to your Excellency our best thanks for your speech at the open ing of this session. "It will be a source of sincere gratification to us, should the communications which your Excellency has been authorised by her Majesty's Government to lay before us lead to the termination of those unhappy dif ferences which have resulted in so much general disor ganisation and embarrassment, in consequence of the rejection of the bills making provision for the collection of the ordinary revenues. " We gladly refrain from entering on the present oc casion into detailed explanation of the principles and motives by which we have been influenced throughout the whole period of this painful contest. Those motives and those principles have been greatly misstated in the official documents laid before Parliament ; but they need no personal justification so long as we are assured that they are duly estimated by your Excellency, and that our sincere and honest desire to reduce the cost of esta blishments generally into nearer proportion with the di minished resources of the inhabitants is sympathised in by your Excellency. We can assure your Excellency, in perfect sincerity, that we desire to effect no reduction which the extent of actual emergency does not render necessary, or which, under the c i rcums t ances , can be fairly considered to be at variance with those principles of good faith to which the state, no less than individuals, is considered bound to adhere. "'We are gratified to learn that the proposals oi Government, which your Excellency informs us have now met with the unanimous sanction of the leading statesmen in both houses of Parliament, are founded upon no design of fettering in the slightest degree that legislative independence which for nearly two centuries the people of Jamaica have so proudly cherished, are coupled with no condition derogatory to the freeest re presentative constitution that ever yet existed, and emanate solely from the sincere sympathy felt by the British nation at large for the misfortunes of one of its most ancient and important colonies. " Our deliberate and early consideration shall be devoted to those recommendations which your Excel lency has been instructed to offer to us on the subject of constitutional reform. We believe, with your Excel lency, that there is no human institution so perfect as that it may not, with advantage, become the object of improvement. "We are sincerely desirous of discharging that duty which, as loyal subjects, we owe to the Crown, of grant ing such supplies as may be necessary to uphold the public establishments during the ensuing year, and we sincerely trust that nothing may interpose to prevent the free and spontaneous discharge of this duty. Your Excellency, however, is aware of the painful distress under which every branch of industry is at present suf fering in this colony. Were this a merely temporary and transitory moment of depression, we should not deem the emergency sufficient to justify an adherence to a principle which has already excited so much ill-will, but our daily experience proves to us that the distress which has forced upon us this unwelcome measure is universal, and we fear without present hope of allevia tion. While, therefore, we are prepared to assure your Excellency of our willingness to grant a supply for the support of our public institutions, we feel bound to state tha - , the amount of supply must, of necessity, be re stricted within the most moderate bounds compatible with the effective discharge of the public service." These documents had been read by the public with much satisfaction, and had been spoken well of by the press. A finance committee was about to be appointed, and the house had instructed that the committee should introduce various bills, among them the " Import Duty Bin, with appropriations." Whether the general business of the country would be proceeded with harmoniously or not was a ques tion wrapt in uncertainty. The weather was excessively warm. Such wea ther was seldom experienced at this period of the year. The public health generally was pretty satis factory. Sir Henry Barkly, immediately on his arrival in the island, began to show his views on the necessity of retrenchment by calling all the servants of the late Governor together, and telling them that as there had been a reduction in the value of the appointment of Governor, a corresponding reduc tion must be made in their wages ; and it was hoped that the example thus set, not only in this respect, but also in other public departments, would bring about a salutary change both in the habits of private individuals and in the manage ment of the public institutions. Sir Charles Grey, the ex-Governor, was still residing in Spanish Town, and was not expected to leave the colony for some time. Sir Joshua and Lady Rowe had arrived from New York.

The fall season in Jamaica had set in at an un usually early period, and planting operations were proceeding favourably for the coming cr o p. Great hopes are entertained about an early arrival of Chinese and other immigrants, nearly 2,000 being ex pected in the fall of the year ; but this supp l y would fall short of the demand, the applications having far exceeded the anticipated number. A number of Coolies had left the island ; some, how ever, remained, and took the bounty money. Shipping was very scarce, and the freights ruled high—viz., 41. per ton to England. From British Guiana we have dates to the 26th ult. Rain had fallen, and the weather was more cool and pleasant. The young canes in the plan tations everywhere looked most promising, and a large crop was anticipated. Trade was improving, and the Legislature was to meet on the 26th ult., when the Education bill would be proceeded with. Fever in its most malignant form had again commenced its ravages in the colony, confining itself, however, chiefly to new arrivals, the ship ping, and persons indifferently seasoned to the cli mate.

During the week ending the 4th of Octo ber the purchases of wheat and other grain had amounted to about 100,000 quarters, and in the two following days they reached 65,000 quarters, about 25,000 quarters of which were for the Neapolitan Go vernment, the rest being for other ports in the Medi terranean. Prices were consequently still tending upwards, and the rates of freight were as high as ever. The scarcity of ships had caused even Russian vessels to be chartered in two instances—a deduction of about 25 per cent. in the cost being considered sufficient to com pensate for the risk of capture.

Whilst the preliminaries of the Great North of Soot. land Railway were on the eve of completion, quietly but surely, we had a good deal of discussion in this neigh bourhood respecting the relative merits of the direct line from Inverness to Perth, and that to Aberdeen. Public opinion was somewhat divided between the two ; but, practically, although no one doubted that a railway di rect to Perth would be the most convenient and advan tageous to the inhabitants of the north generally, among those who had money to invest the question became twofold :—Who will commence a line to Aber deen ? and how can a line pay through so desolate a country as that between Inverness and Perth ? No one doubted that a line from here to Aberdeen, cheaply con structed, would yield a good return, and from the evi dence adduced by the projectors of the Perth and Inver ness line, there was a strong probability that on it, too, a handsome dividend might be declared upon the esti mated expenditure. The state of the money market, however, and the progress of the line from Aberdeen to Huntly, have decided the course which alone can be pursued at present. The Great North of Scotland Com pany have allowed their powers, as respects this side of the Spey, or of Elgin, to lapse, and have made no move ment for a revival of th em . We must push on as rapidly as possible, so as to be prepared for taking advantage of whatever good fortune may hereafter befall us, and that without suffering immediate loss. There is reason for stating that the promoters of the Great North of Scot land are well pleased, as they cannot overtake more than they have on hand, to find that the people of Inverness are bestirring themselves. The first step determined on in establishing railway communication with the south is to construct a single line from Inverness to Nairn, and which, it so happens, must form an integral part of the lines of railway communication both between Inverness and Aberdeen, and between Inverness and Perth. It is brought out quite on an independent footing, and for the public, who are so much interested in the perma nent result, the question simply is whether such a line can be made self-supporting until such time as we can afford to advance to meet the Great North of Scotland Railway, and manage to complete a more direct access by railway to the south? Upon this point we can only at present refer to the prospectus issued by the projec tors of the Inverness and Nairn Railway, in which an estimate is made of the actual and anticipated traffic of the district. The whole distance is but fifteen and a half miles ; there is scarcely a brook to cross, and the land between the termini is almost a dead level. The construction of a railway here is, in fact, so easy that Mr. Brassey, who has made more railways than per haps any man iliving, has offered to finish it, and to erect the necessary stations and other works, for the sum of little more than 4,000/. a mile. The exact sum for the fifteen and a half miles is 65,000/., and it is no slight testimony to the good prospects of the line that this sagacious contractor offers to take 20,000/. of the contract price in shares of the company. The total cost ', including the heavy items of land compensation and rolling stock, is estimated at 85,0001., or about 5,500/. a mile. No railway in the kingdom—far less a trunk line—has been made at so small a sum ; not even, we undernd, the small branch from Elgin to Lossiemouth, of which the success has been so triumphant ; while throughout Scotland the average cost of railway construction has been up wards of 30,0001, a mile. This difference in the pre liminary expenses is 'so striking that it is difficult to select any line as a standard by which to estimate the profits of that now projected to Nairn. If the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, for instance, does not yield so handsome a dividend as might be ex pected from the immense traffic between the two capitals, there is no reason why we should not look for a good return on the Inverness and Nairn line; for the one cost about 46,0001. a mile and the other will not cost more than 6,0001. a-mile. The Elgin and Lossiemouth Railway, opened only last year, connecting two not extensive towns, backed, however, by a fertile agricultural district ; and supported by an active though small community, already pays a dividend of five per cent. on the paid-up capital, and holds a surplus by way of rest of about 2401. The example of this little railway should certainly be kept prominently in view when estimating the prospects of a line from Inverness to Nairn, and we have little hesitation in saying that it started with mush less chance of success than that now projected. The goods traffic on this line was not in full operation for six months after the line was opened ; so that it is useless stating the receipts for an uncertain period ; but it is im portant to note that the passenger traffic exceeded the original estimate by 60 per cent., and was steadily in crea-ing at the date of the report, which we published a few weeks ago. In twelve months no less than 70,000 passengers went to and from Elgin and Lossiemouth. Now, seeing that there was no constant public coach running between these places before the railway was started, it seems at least reasonable to suppose that the passenger traffic in a district which now helps to support three stage-coaches daily each way, from January to December, three steamers each way weekly, and innu merable other public and private conveyances, besides foot passengers, should give at least as large a traffic as this comparative bye-way. Yet the projectors of the Nairn Railway have estimated the number of passengers on their line at less than 60,000 a-year, and the other traffic estimates are apparently on almost as moderate a scale. Of this, however, the public may judge by refer ence to the prospectus. This is the present aspect of the undertaking. When the line to Aberdeen is completed the traffic on this portion will be materially increased, while on the formation of the Perth and Inverness line, accompanied as this work will be by a line from Inver ness northwards into Rose-shire, the great bulk of th e large traffic of the northern and central highlands will be diverted along the favoured link in contemplation, converting the shares into probably as valuable railway stock, the promoters anticipate, as any in the kingdom. Speculators must themselves decide upon the moderation or extravagance of the estimated returns ; we do not feel called upon to say one word more on the commercial avyes, men that ni o i a f tordt he business errteo and i shee lvpe mn even for ward ra. probability prospects ofboarbtoilnitey o of hana the t scheme stahte islfiynet;hNsbe, will themselves ward the establishment of railway communication be tween the highlands and the south, which greatly de pends upon the manner in which this scheme is carried out, they ought to do whatever lies in their power to support this line, and strengthen the hands of its pro jectors. We cannot think that their patriotism here will baulk their worldly prudence. It is very gratifying that the landowners have met the views of the promoters in a becoming spirit. They have almost, without excep tion, agreed to give their land at thirty years' purchase of the existing agricultural value, without any charge for severance, and, if desired, to commute their price into an annual feu-duty. The tenantry, it is to be hoped, will not be behind hand, and will, as is reason able they should, to a man, in like manner accept the annual value by way of abatement of rent. In conclu sion, let it be kept in view that it is of the utmost im portancein to the northern co unties that this line, formin g at the e i t hands s the o f key parties t o favourable railway all directions. This m akes it peculiarly desirable that a t o traffic, railway should extensionbe large portion of the stock be taken up by parties locally selves of the opp ortunit y when the field is o p en, connected, and that t he northern public should avail them eminsure the successful accomplishment of the de sign by united and strenuous co-operation.—lnverness rier. TEE ROYAL SOCIETY. of the session for 1853-4 was held y es terday ; P • The first meeting reti W allich, vice. president in the chair. A. great number of presents were announced, principally onsistingofbooks and charts. Among the former was Newtons " Principia," which had been pre stehnetcer b of y sewtheauthor to Flamsteed, and which bears Fiamsteed's autograph. A paper was read "On the Nerves which supply the 3luscular structure of the Heart," by Dr. Robert Lee, F.R.S. A series of dissections, made by the au th or , of the heart of the ;racehorse, in which both the mus cular and nervous structures are largely developed, de moi.strate that from the outer surface to the li n i ng mem brane the walls are universally pervaded with nerves, on which ganglia are formed. From these dissections it is seen that the ganglionic nerves ramify op the surface of the heart ;those which have been hitherto delineated in the works of anatomists are few in number, compared with those which are distributed throughout the muscular structure of the organ, many of which are wholly inde pendent of the blood -vessels. This anatomical demon stration of the ganglia and nerves of the muscular structure of the heart is stated by the author to corn. pletely subvert the opinion still entertained by some physiologists, that the sensitive and contractile powers of the heart are independent of nervous influence. It further indicates the real source of the action of the heart as an entire organ from the commencement to the termination of life, how the circulation of blood is carried otqwhen the fcetus has neither brain nor spinal cord, and how the detached parts of the heart continue to contract for a time in some animals after its total sepa ration from the body. Dr. Lee states that the dissections are open to exami nation of any gentleman who may be interested in the anatomy and physiology of the heart. It was announced that the Earl of Harrowby would be proposed for election at the next ordinary meeting.
