LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS OF YESTERDAY.—Prayers
being read, Mr. TAILOR requested the indulgence of his
Uonour and the House to introduce a short Bill before pro-
ceeding with the order of the day—" To extend the powers
of the Court of Appeal," vihich would render a greater
improvement to our colonial jurisprudence by that Court.
Communications came from his Excellency. The first
referred at considerable length to the distressing case of a
policeman who had been beaten so severely in the execu-
tion of his duty as to be still almost helpless. The
second recommended an extension of the powers of the
Court of Appeal. The third was some dispatches of Lord
Glenelg, referring to the appointment to Justices and
Judges of the Court of Appeal being vested simply in the
Governor, and not in the Queen. The Secretary of State
for the Colonies objected to their appointment being vested
in the " Governor in Council," instead of the Governor
simply ; which point the Colonial Legislature recom-
mended. In fact, the Secretary for the Colonies only
wished to get that patronage, which has hitherto been
always the Governor's. The fourth was a dispatch ,of
Lord Glenelg, acknowledging the receipt of the Act
amending the Court of Appeal Act.
A lengthy petition was presented from some Committee
of a large meeting of the coloured community, praying au
extension of the elective franchise, complaining of invidi-
ous distinctions of colour, &c. Mr. Graham immediately
rose and gave notice of a Bill to amend tl,e law of election,
the object of which would be to extend the franchise to
houses of a rent-value of ltd., and the holders of five
acres of land. The Speaker appointed a Committee of
six or seven, to prepare and introduce a Bill on the subject.
A memorial was presented to his Excellency, the Governor
of the island, from the Committee of a public meeting of
the inhabitants of the island, in petition for a reversion of
the election laws at present in use :
" Government House. Barbadoes, Feb 9.

" Gentlemen—ln reply to the memorial you have this
day been pleased to present, an in reference to the peti-
tions to the Legislature therein alluded to, it gratifies me
to inform you, that there exists on my part every diaposi
tion to take into immediate and favourable consideration
such enactments as, on revising the election laws at present
in force, the Honourable the Council and Assembly may
think fit to pass upon that subject, and for an extension of
the suffrage to an equitable proportion of the inhabitants
of this island.

(Signed) "MURRAY MACGREG Oft, Governor."
We are pleased to hear that our agricultural labourers
are going on well as yet in breaking out the crops. The
sugar manufacture is proceeding favourably, though with
not quite as much spirit as formerly ; so far, however, it is
satisfactory. The country negrocs, we trust, are returning
to reason ; we wish we could say the same of the town
people. Of the domestic servants, from every quarter we
hear complaints ; and we have had our experience of the
plague and torment which these people inflict upon em-
ployers—not the least dependance can be placed on
their commencing our business, if the work they
have to do be ever so light. These people are so
insuff,rably proud of their new state of freedom, that it is
with the greatest difficulty any of them can be persuaded
to perform their menial offices or any drudgery work of a
house. Pride and insolence characterise the greater part
of them ; they are impatient of reproof, even if adminis-
tered with gentleness. Freedom has, to a certainty, had a
completely contrary effect on the mind of the Negro to that
which we fondly expected—their character has not im-
proved, indeed it is rather worse. It frequently happens
that families arc left without one female servant to assist in
domestic occupations.
We have received the Antwerp Journal of yesterday's
date. The Belgian papers are now becoming void of
interest.

Accounts from Hassell, April 1, state that the first divi-
sion of the army at the camp, is to be relieved by the
second division of troops, under the command of General
Grethuls.

The Dutch continue to cover themselves with entrench-
ments, as if they expected an attack, and the line is
guarded with the greatest rigour.
We have received Trinidad papers to the 16th of
February. Its now ascertained, be) ond a doubt, that the
available labour in the colony, is generally disproportioned
to its necessities, that, in tact, the crop cannot be taken
off within she time usually set apart for that purpose.
The rise in the British Funds during the course of yester-
day, may be attiibutcd to the Bear Account having been
bought in. Owing to the state of the weather this morning,
and no intelligence of any importance having been received,
the various Funds at present continue in an inactive
state. Consols opened at the closing quotations of yester-
day, 921 I- for the Account; Money tha same.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET OF THURSDAY.—The
demand for Cotton continues to be limited; the sales
2,000 bags, without change in prices.
During the whole of the morning not the least spirit for
business has been displayed for operations in either of the
Markets. This may be attributed to the uncertainty of
political and local affairs in the French capital, as well as to
the prevailing opinion of some change in our Ministry.
Speculators are afraid to operate before the result of the
above accounts are ascertained.
We have no further arrivals, consequently we are very
dull in the city, both in respect of commercial affairs and
news.
