t,,,•1_!1?•,f0114:1pg, message. had _been. sent to the
Legislatiie Council by the Governor:-.;--
" I have the honour to request' that you will subnlit
• 'forth* 'considerat6i of the Legislative Council- the Act
;Which has recently been paised in Palliament for relieving
his-Majesty's Roman Catholic snbjeets from all Civil and
liailitary disabilities, with -Certain specified 'objections, apd
to remove al! possibility of doubt, whether this Act, upon
• so important a subject, extends to the Colonies. haveto recommend to the Legislature to pass an Act declaring
that this statute extends to and is in force in this island.
• (Signed) " NATH. BLACKWELL."
The Bill had passed the House of Assembly:
A day-school for the education of slaves had
been opened at Gienada.. Most of the islands
had had an abundance of rain. At Antigua
so rapid a succession of rains had not fallen for
`many years past, but as regarded this Colony
they had produced a very salutary effect. The
Houses of Legislature had adjourned there for
one month. With the exception of two or
threl more clauses of the Slave Laws Consoli-
dati .n. Bill, little or no business hat' been trans-
acted. It was reported at St. Vincent's that
• Major-General Sir CHARLES PRATT had been
appointed to the government of that Colony.
No official intimation of this event had, however,
leached the Colony, and the information was
. looked for with considerable anxiety.

The following is from the Times of this
morning :

" Mr. E. Davenport, at the beginning of the week, sent
us a letter, complaining that his speeches were almost
always inaccurately reported ; and adding, that we must
have for such inaccuracy a bad motive. We referred the
letter to our reporters, who positively deny the charge. We
did not publish the letter, because we did not suppose the
writer intended it for publication ; but we have, since our
receipt of it, seen it in the columns of a contemporary jour-
nal. We have only to say, that the journal which pub-
lishes the accusation is, as well as every other journal,
guilty of the fault with which we are exclusively charged.
Mr. E. Davenport had better start a paper of his own. As
to his imputation of corrupt motive, it is too absurd to re-
quire an answer."

• `1
'he Hon. Member who is here fairly enough
- replied to, favoured us also some time since

- with a similar opinion respecting the " motives"
of our Morning Contemporaries. We then
made him the same answer as is contained in

the last sentence of the paragraph we have just
quoted. What possible " motive," save that ex-
cellent one of discretion—can an influential
Journal like the Times, have for condensing
the lax, wordy redundancies of the Hon. Mem-
ber for Shaftesbury ? Were these reported
at the same length with which (unfortunately
for their hearers) they are spoken, we know not
who among newspaper readers would have
courage or perseverance enough to wade through
them. The fact is, Mr. DAVENPORT is es-
sentially a man of one idea, and when that one
idea happens to be a wrong one, we know not
upon what principle of common sense or ex-
pediency our Morning Cotemporaries are bound
to give it undue currency.

THE FUNDS.—(THIS DAY.)
CITY, T WEL YE 0' CL 0 or.
We have hut little to communicate this morning, owing
to the non-arrival of mails and ship letters.
The last accounts from Buenos Ayres_ state, that M.
• • Mandeville, the French Consul there, has written a long
letter tothe Government, in which he complains of the
ill-treatment to which foreignt.rs, and particularly French-
men, are constantly exposed in that city. Ile states, that
the indignities and injuries to which they and their pro-
perty are subjected are beyond endurance, and calls on the
Government to adopt prompt and effectual measures to
prevent their taking place in future. The Government
bare promised to do every thing in their power to detect
theatithora of the said outrages specified by Mr. Mande-
ville.

LIVERPOOL, JUNE 17.—The Cotton Market has exhi-
bibited an animated appearance within the last two days.
The stock was considerable and the prices were steady.
Sales of yesterday were 5,000 bags.
Consols opened this morning at the smite price they left
off yesterday, 92i 93 for the Account, with scarcely a
bargain doing as yet. The speculators are waiting the ar-
rival of an express from Paris, as, by the last account
from the above capital, it was expected that a further im-
provement would take place in the French Rentes.
The report of his Mainty being again much indisposed
Las damped the Consul Market.
In Foreign Securities there Made or nothing doing at
present—prices much the same as yesterday.
We have this moment received Buenos Ayres Papers,
from the North and South American Coffee-house, to the
25th of March.
(From the Paper of the 27th.)
We have no particular news to communicate this week
from the provinces of the interior, but Saturday last was
the focus of reports ; it was said that the Governor of
Santa Fe, with his army, was in Catnpagna, intending to
act against Cordova, and that the division of General
Quiroga's army had repulsed the vanguard of Gan. Paez ;
others affirm that the former had been defeated, and had
capitulated. It is now, however, positively stated that
Colonel Villafane has entered into a composition with
Gen. Paez, and that he is to retire with his troops to the
province of Rioja ; but the most important intelligence of
the week is the proposed departure of the Governor, to
have an interview with the Governors of Santa Fe, Cur-
!Centex, and Entrerios.
The folLiwing is part of the decree on the above sub-
ject :—" Article 1. During the absence of the Governor
the Government of the province, in all its branches, shall
be delegated to the three Ministers—the Minister of
War and Marine, Minister of Finance, and Minister of
Foreign Affairs."
A treaty offensive and defensive has been concluded be-
tween Buenos Ayres and the province of Corrientes on the
same basis as that of Santa Fe.
On the 20th instant a notice was issued, that the mails
for Peru and Chili would be made up, and despatched on
that day. The above proved most gratifying intelligence
after so long an interruption with the interior. Exchange

This has been a very idle morning in the operations of
the Funds : Consols have continued to the present time
at 921 a for the Account.
The Foreign Market is in the same state of inactivity as
that of the British ; scarce a birgain has been accom-
plished, and all the prices of Foreign Securities may be
quoted the same as yesterday. In shares there is also a
