and our friends had taken pains to exhibit so strong a case,
that even the present Ministers, indifferent as they were
to our welfare, would scarcely be able to refuse then• sup-
port to an application for Parliamentary relief; whenever
the preparation appeared complete, and sanguine hopes
were entertained of success, behold there arose some novel
claim or circumstance of such paramount or vital import,
that the question of income was at once absorbed, and
the 'West India interests were told to think themselves lucky
that their situation was not made worse, and that they were
still permitted to drag out a miserable existence. 'Were Mi-
nisters possessed of so little power that they could not despise
the clamours of the East Indian and anti-colonial parties of
the Commons ? Or were they unwilling to give up any por-
tion of the revenue they so unjustly wrung from these unfor-
tunate islands ? _

He trusted that if the House granted the Committee for
which lie was about to move, that the Members of the Com-
mittee would agree with him in opinion that his Majesty
should be petitioned to remove from his councils Earl Bathurst,
and all other Councillors, who, by their advice, had brought
the island into its present depressed state, and whose incapacity
threatened the island with still greater evils.
The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving that a Committee
be appointed to prepare tt, petition and address to the King ;
which was unanimously agreed to, anti Mr. Barrett, Mr. Mats,
Mr. Farquharson, Mr. Mmto, and Mr. Hodgson, appointed
such Committee.

The Jamaica papers, generally, are filled with the accounts
of meetings, with letters, addresses, anddiscussiona, which show
the extent and degree of excitement produced by the inquiries
pursued by the British Parliament last session. The House of
Assembly had met, and his Grace the Duke of Manchester, in
his speech outhe occasion, recommended, in the strongest terms,
to the attention of the House, the condition of the negro popu-
lation, with a view to the adoption of such measures as ought
tend to its amelioration. The official communication from Lord
Bathurst was not alluded to, either in the opening speech of the
Governor, or the answer of the Assembly, which was guarded
and moderate.
