CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.'
We have received Jamaica papers to the 16th December.
They state that the Colonial Bank Bill was read a second

time: ' The Assembly was to adjourn on the 17th December,
and re-assemble on the 7th July. The greatest harmony pre-
vailed between the Assembly and the new Governor. The
crops have much improved, owing to the warm weather.
They finally state that the Local Bank Bill had passed the
Committee,- of the Assembly. The following are extracts
from the Colonial papers I—
" BRIDGE TOWN, BARBADOES, OCT. 2tr—His Excellency
the Governor-General met the Legislative Body for the first
time since his assumption of the Government. His Excel-
lency made the following speech :
" My Lord Bishop, Mr. President, and Gentlemen of the

Council—

" I request your Honourable Board and House to be so in-
dulgent as to ascribe solely to indispensable avocations in my
late Government, the involuntary delay that incapacitated ►r.e
from more promptly assuming the administration of this
ancient and loyal colony, and of the Windward Islands.
" Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the Assembly—
" It will be an object of my solicitude to evince due respect
for the constitutional rights of the people, and to cultivate on
all occasions the most amicable relations with your Honourable

louse.
My Lord Bishop, Mr. President, and Gentlemen of tt e

Council—

" If my position is in some respects exposed to embarrass-
ment, not so seriously affecting in modern times preceding
Governors, the regret with which this difference may inspire
me, springs from no selfish source. Although recently landed
on these shores, my oath of office has already divested me of
the character of a stranger; and as the dutiful representative
of a most gracious Sovereign, personally endeared to West
Indians, I will not yield to any member of this community
in zealously endeavouring to preserve the internal tranquillity,
and to promote the prosperity of Harbadoes.
(Signed) " E. J. MURRAY MACGREGOR."

10,000 men had been I.lneled by order of Governor Tacon at
"Thane, and were ready to march on St. Jago. The Nimrod
was at St. Jako for the protection of British subjects.
Late in the afternoon of yesterday, the Consul Market as-
sumed a very heavy appearance, owing to a special meeting
of the Bank Directors taking place, which was not usual on
Wednesdays; and in consequence of which a report prevailed,
on their breaking up, that they had determined on raising the
rate of interest on discounts from sto 51- per cent. It was
also stated that the Directors resolved not to press into cir-
culation immediately any portion of the dead weight ; and it
is anticipated that money will become scarce to-day, as the
loans which ought to have been repaid to the Bank on the
16th inst., must be acquitted. The amount, however, is not
to a great extent.
