JAMAICA.

The Duke of NEWCASTLE, on Thursday, furnished
the House of Peers with an historical narrative of
the government of Jamaica, tracing the rise and pro-
gress of the anomalies which now characterised it,
and of the troubles to which they hail led. The dis-
pute between the Assembly and the Executive hail
now reached such a height that the whole adminis-
tration had come to a dead-lock. The Assembly had
refused to vote the necessary bills for the collection
of the taxes, and, the Customs and Rum Duties Act
having thus ceased to operate, 1,1)001. per day was
lost out of the income of the colony. Governor
Grey, in this emergency, had proposed to supply a
temporary remedy, by issuing a commission with
power to enact such peremptory ordinances as might
be requisite ; a step for which a precedent had been
set in D+39. The home Government, however, had
preferred the trial of a new governor, whose etiOrts,
they hoped, might result in a pacific solution of the
difficulties. For this purpose their choice had fallen
on Mr. Henry Barkly, who had proved his abilities
by a successful ailministration of affairs in British
Guiana. The salary of the new governor would be
reduced from 6,000/. to b,OOO/. per annum ; and, it
the same time, strenuous exertions would be made
to retrench the cost of all the establishments in the
colony, and to place its financial system on a sounder
basis.

The Earl of DERBY and Earl Gum- expressed
their approval of this course, and the subject
dropped.
