duties of 'citizens? But Lord Derby's intentions are
avowedly, though perhaps more avowedly than really,
dependent on his power. He may possibly find next
July, or next October, as the case may be, that he can
command a majority for the revival of Protection, but
cannot command a majority for a merely Conservative
and remedial policy. In that case the blind sentiment
of honour which has already seduced him into antago-
nism with the general interess of his country may once
more lead him to an enterprise far more perilous
than any he has yet attempted, for such the
revival of Protection, on the strength of a Parlia-
mentary majority, would undoubtedly be. On " a
bare majority" he has assured us he till not act; and a
fixed duty of a few shillings he has spoken of r.vith utter
contempt. Bat he may have a decided injori,y, de-
manding at least some definite measure or Prot. ction.
Should he attempt to comply, he will bring ruin (11 him-
self, degradation to his party, calamity to the State, and
confusion on all who have recommended forbearance.
We are persuaded that he will do no such thing; but,
though we are easy on this point—viz., as to what Lord
Derby will not do, we are by no means easy as to what
he will do. What liberty of patriotism will his country
supporters allow him? Will they permit him to do more
than re-adjust their burdens, talk against democracy, and
deal,with sanitary questions? It must be confessed that
hitherto between Lord Derby's professions and the
actual wants of the country there has been a fearful gap,
which even his eloquence has not been able, to disguise;
and, as long as that is the case, it is evident that, though
we may forbear, it is impossible to confide.--Thnes.

and meetings had been held in various places, at which

of regret at the declining fortunes of the island.
The Combined Court was to meet on the 24th

The weather had been fine and favourable during the
past fortnight. Several fatal cases of yellow fever had
occurred, bat the violence of the epidemic had to a cer-

tain any reluctance to enter it, and that thus the 5,000
seamen of the reserve repairing to their ports might
lead with them 10,000 good sailors more. In short, the
aim of the proposal has been so much to create a tempo-
rary force which might be disbanded with a change of
feeling, as to dispose the great body of the seafaring
population in such a manner that men in any numbi-rs
might be obtai.Jable at any moment. Under these per-
suasions, indeed, we have seen even snort terms of com-
mission and the speedy dispersion of ships' cre frs inge-
niously advocatv d as promoting the object in view, Inas-
much as the more effectually the merot►ant service was
leavened by importations from the royal navy, the more
likely would the royal navy be to derive attain from the
merchant service an abundance of desirable resources.
It is urged, besides, that such a system being devoid of
the offensive character assumed by positive augmenta-
tions of force, would call for no corresponding augmen-
tations on the part of foreign Governments, and would
therefore be under no risk of defeating its own ends.
Without attaching equal weight to all these arguments,
we cannot deny that, in addition to much plausibility,
they contain a substance of truth. Still, considering
how very extensively our merchant service must have
been already imbued with the elements referred to. we
can hardly look upon the experiment as a new one,
though, no doubt, the " reserve" seamen, being picked
men and well affected to the service, may disseminate
juster notions of its character than would be given by
sailors actually dismissed or rudely discharged. It
might be said, however, that if the principle of the naval
reserve should really be found efficient, it will soon
evince the inutility of any reserve at all, for if once the
merchant service can be generally brought into the dis-
position thus contemplated, it will obviously furnish 'a
" reserve" in itself, and there will be no necessity for
maintaining one. Altogether, though the scheme is an
attempt to remedy a serious deficiency at a small cost,
and is certainly not without considerable promise, we do
not think it should be allowed to supersede provisions
more directly serviceable. It is confessedly an experi-
ment, and its operation must be a matter of time, not to
mention that if, as is apparently the case, some doubt
exists about procuring at once even these 5,000 seamen,
as much uncertainty must at least hang about the ques-
tion of the influence they may exert on their messmates.
In any case, however, it is wise to recognise the expe-
diency of preparation, and to devise, if possible, some
regular and permanent measures which may obviate the
[necessity for impressment for all times to come.— Times.

WEST INDIA and MEXICAN MAILS

JAMAICA.
The arrival of the Royal Mail Company's steamer
Great Western, has placed us in possession of dates
from this island to the 19th February inclusive.
The intelli:ence respecting the loss of the steamer
Amazon by fire, in the Bay of Biscay, had been re-
ceived in Kingston .by way of America, and subse-
quently confirmed by the arrival of the Royal Mail
steamer Der. Great anxiety was being manifested for
further intelligence from England in regard thereto, as
many of the passengers by that ill-fated ship were in-
timately connected, by family ties and otherwise, with
this island.

There was a rumour current in Kingston that the
Orinoco would call into that port with the mails from
England, and her arrival was anxiously looked for.
The House of Assembly had resolved on sending
homo delegates to confer with her Majesty's Govern-
ment on the necessity of reducing or abolishing the
duties on sugar, as, unless some steps are taken to re-
lieve the colonies, the whole of the estates at present in
cultivation will have to be thrown up. The Hon. Charles
M•La:ty Moraler, Speaker of the House of Assembly,
and Messrs. William Smith, Edward Thompson, and
William Girod, members of the same branch of the
Legislature, had been selected to act as the delegates.
The appointment of these gentlemen had given satisfac-
tion, but it was not decided how the necessary expenses
were to bo met.
The sittings of the Assembly were nearly brought to
a close, and a termination of the business was anxiously
looked for. In consequence of the introduction -of a
clause into the Poll Tax Bill, affecting the salaries of
officials in the pay of the British Government, among
them the Ri,.lht Rev. Dr. Spencer, the Lord Bishop, it
was expected that there would be a short prorogation of
the house, as the Governor would not give his consent to
it. This was the only measure to occupy the attention
of the house.

The small-pox was committing sad ravages in some of
the cJuntry districts of the island, and the cholera had

MEXICO.

Things were quiet here at the last advice!. The revo-
lution on the northern frontier had been supprc.se3, but
attempts had been made by Carvajal to assemble some
followers on the left bank of the Rio Bravo, which had
been frustrated through the activity of the Americans.
Tho General Government had issued an order at Ma-
tamoras for again potting in force the ancient tariff in
regard to the goods that had been imported on the
faith of General Avalo's tariff ; but it was believed that
the authorities would not be able to carry the same into
effect.

The law increasing the export duty on specie from
3i to 6 per cent., was to come into force on the 4th of
February.
On the 13th of January Vera Cruz was visited by one
of the most violent storms that had been known for many

lives. The cargoes lost are of very considerable value.

as much uncertainty must at least hang about the ques-
tion of the influence they may exert on their messmates.
In any case, however, it is wise to recognise the expe-
diency of preparation, and to devise, if possible, some
regular and permanent measures which may obviate the
necessity for impressment for all times to come.— Times.

JAMAICA MARKETS.

(From De CorilovaTiercantile Intelligencer, Feb. 13.)
Flour—The market for this article, in consequence of
the absence of receipts and the diminishing stock, was
assuming a considerably improved appearance, and sales
were of daily occurrence at 28s. per barrel; the hands,
however, of holders becoming strengthened by the impo-
sition of the additional duty of 2s. per barrel, the price
of the article immediately thereafter rose to 305., at
which figure some 1,000 barrels Baltimore and Phila-
delphia were moved. To-day there is not any on offer
at anything under 31s.

FP AN CE.

It is stated by the friends and political supporters
of General Cavaignac and M. Carnot, that neither of
these newly-elected deputies will present himself to
take the oaths prescribed, or will appear in the Legis-
lative Chamber at all. If the intention be persevered
in, as is very probable, two new elections will have
to take place again for Paris ; and it seems to be the
determination of constituents to elect them as often
as there occurs a vacancy. As this cannot go on
for ever, it is anticipated that a measure will
be proposed to the Assembly disqualifying persons
who, having submitted to be elected, or, at all events,
given a silent assent, refuse complying with the con-
ditions required, and that all votes given to such dis-
qualified candidates will not be taken into account.
It is announced that the Government candidates at
Brest, Mayenne, Dinan, and Arras, have been elected
deputies to the Corps Legislatif. At Lille, M. Le-
grand, the Democratic candidate, has polled 13,508
votes, to 11,779 given to M. Richebe, the Government
candidate. _ _ _

Three hundred political prisoners, condemned to
transportation by the military commissions, were
dispatched from Paris last night by a special train for
Havre, whence they are to be shipped for Algeria.
Rigal, President of the Fourth Chamber of the
Court of Appeal of Paris, has addressed a letter to the
First President, Troplong, requesting that the decree
of the President of the Republic removing the judges
from the bench after a certain age, may not be car-
ried into effect as respects Judge Gaschon, of the
Court of Appeal.
Measures of retaliation were intended by the Bel-
gian Government with reference to the increased
postage on papers entering France from that country,
but it appears that a negotiation has been opened be-
tween the two countries with the view of an arrange-
ment a raimable. The advantage to the State is not
equal to the embarrassment occasioned by the execu-
tion of the measure.

The funeral service for General Count d'An-
thouard, who died in Paris, on Monday last, aged 79,
was performed yesterday in the church of the Made-
leine. A great number of General Officers were pre-
sent, and afterwards accompanied the body to the ceme-
tery. The deceased entered the service in 1789, and
became General of Division in 1810. He was con-
sidered one of the beat officers of the empire.

PROSPECTUS.

The promoters establishing this Company have entered into con-
tract for the purchase' in fee simple, of a highly valuable mineral
property, situate within eight miles f Fredericksburg, in the county
of Stafford, Yirg
U'S'' ,xintaining 450 acres of land, in which
l.
very
extensive and valuable veins of gold quartz have been dis-
covered, and already satisfactorily developed.
Arrangements have been made for obtaining a charter from the
State of Virginia at the next session of the Legislature.
Regardinsz,the promising condition of this property, its convenient
locality, cheap motive power, and cost of labour, and the extent
and indications developed, the Directors believe that the com-
paratively small capital required for the enterprise will afford to
the shareholders large and speedy returns for their investments.

FRIDAY

with cries of Vivo i'Empereurl' M. Ct.arles Dupin,
in pr,senting to hitn the Couucit-General of the Nievre,
which he presided over last session, recurred to the
wish unanimously expressed by its members in favour
of the stability of the Government, and he added that
the whole ppulation bad just given, on the day on
which be spoke, a marked approval of that wish. The
Prince, after having thanked the council for the mani-
festation of its sentiments, terminated in these words:—
When the question relates to a matter of general in-
terest, I always endeavour to get the start of public
opinion, but I follow in its wake when the matter con-
cerns an interest which may appear to be personal.',"
The 11.1sniteur contains a report from M. FORTOUL,
the Minister of Public Instruction, to the PRINCE PRESI-
DENT of the Republic, setting forth the great advantage
of preserving the popular ballads of France, whether
written in pure French or in provincial idioms, and
recommending to have a collection of such composi-
tions made and published. A decree follows from
the Plan]) NT, dated St. Cloud, September 13, ap-
proving of the recommendation given, and directing
that the collection so give-n shall be called the Recueil
general des Poisies populaires de la France.

The long- GERMANY.
expected Royal decree respecting the for-
mation of the First Chamber of Prussia was published
on the 12th. It enacts that that Chamber shall con-
sist of 120 members ; of whom 90 are to be nomi-
nated by
the electoral colleges, and 30, representing
the great towns, by the Communal Councils. The
Dumber of electors in each college is to be 30 for
every member to be elected ; and the electors are to
be those persons who in each district pay the highest
amount of direct taxes. To be eligible, a candidate
must be 40 years of ar, must have belonged during
five Years at least to Prussia, must be domiciled in
the place in which the election is made, and must
possess all the qualifications required in communal
elections.

The session of the provincial diets of Brandenburg
and Pomerania, in Prussia, was opened on the 13th.
The President, in an opening speech, intimated that
the most important subjects to be examined are the
cantonal and communal laws, which are about to
be submitted to the definitive sanction of the Legis-
lature.

The Cologne Gazette states that the Military Com-
mission, charged by the Austrian Government to
make a report on the forces of the Germanic Confe-
deration, has drawn up its report, and that it contains
details as to the disposable force that Germany would
possess to resist any attempt at invasion by
1 ranee. According to the Cologne Gazette, the
report estimates the amount of the army that
France could send against Germany at 500,000 men,
and states that the Germanic Confederation has also
500,000, but that 200,000 of these would be required
by Austria for the protection of Italy. The Cologne
Gazette adds that some of the states of the German
Confederation have recommended an augmentation of
150,000 men, but that Prussia and Austria object to
any increase, regarding the present force as quite
sufficient under existing circumstances. This journal
does not state from what source it derives its infor-
mation, and our readers will probably do well not to
attach implicit credit to it.
A letter from Vienna says :—" From the Ist of
October next the mails between Austria and France
will no longer be sent by Vienna, Inspruck, and
Bale, but by Vienna, Leipsic, Frankfort, Carlsruhe,
and Strasburg. They will thus arrive thirty-six
hours sooner."
