The following is the speebh of his Excellency the
Governor of Jamaica, in closing the session on the Ist
of March :
" Gentlemen of the Council,
"Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Assembly,
"I. have much satisfaction in granting you a recess
after the labours of an unusually protracted session.
"The assiduity and zeal which you have evinced in
the discharge of your high functions, the prompt at •
tention you afforded to the suggestions contained in
my opening address, and the many useful enactments
which you have passed, demand my warmest acknow-
ledgments.
" The alacrity with which the parishioners in cer-
tain districts have come forward to carry out the ob-
jects of the Act for taking a census of the inhabitants
promises .well.for the success of that important mea-
sure. It is for the interest of all classes that the
amount of the population of the island should be as-
certained with the utmost possible accuracy, and I en-
tertain the hope that all will concur to aid the enume •
rators in the execution_ .of the task assigned to them.
"I trust that the- labours of the Commissioners,
whom I have named under the Act for appointing a
commission to inquire into the charities of the island,
will be attended with benefit to the colony.
" The encouragement which you have afforded to
the establishment of industrial schools, and the liberal
grants provided for the relief of the sufferers by the
fire at Kingston, and the erection of a lunatic asylum,
are proofs of your solicitude for the general welfare.
" The formation of a railway between Kingston and
Spanish Town has been sanctioned by an Act of the
Legislature during the current session. This project
may be presumed to indicate increasing confidence in
the resources of the colony, and will, it is hoped, tend
to their further development.
" I shall have much satisfaction in giving effect to
the measures which you have passed for the encou-
ragement of immigration.
"Two Acts have reached me, the one entitled An
Act to enable the Court of Chancery to order the sale
and conveyance of the real estates cf lunatics, and to
grant leases for a limited period of estates in receiver-
ships ;' and the other, 'An Act to: prevent trespass
on property,' from which, in consideration of the
tenor :of my instructions, I have felt it my duty to
withhold my assent, until I have had the means of
communicating with her Majesty's Government on the
subjects to which they respectively relate. The for-
mer of these Acts confers new and extensive powers
upon the Court of Chancery, with the view of bene-
fiting parties interested in estates in receivership,
tinder orders of the court. With respect to the latter,
after much deliberation, I have come to the conclu-
sion that some of its provisions in their present shape
are susceptible of a construction inconsistent with the
principle. of British law, as affecting titles fo pro-
perty. Such an operation ofthe Actcould not, 'appre-
hend, have been contemplated by its promoters, and
would tend, it is to be feared, to check those feelings
of mutual confidence and affection which are happily
springing up between all classes in the community,
and towards the growth of which your legislation has
so remarkably contributed.
" Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Assembly,
" I thank you for the supplies which you have
granted for the public service of the year. The re-
venue of the colony will, I trust, be found sufficient
for the purposes to which it is appropriated by the
Legislature.
" Gentlemen of the Council,
" Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Assembly,
"I am deeply grieved to learn that the continued
drought has seriously injured the crop in some dis-
tricts of the island.
" The peaceable and orderly demeanour of the
population during the late Christmas season was the
subject of general remark, and afforded me the most
sincere gratification.

is a sure and speedy cure tor. those annoyances, without
caus;ng the least pain or inconvenience. Unlike all other remedies
for corns, its oleration is such as to render the cutting of the
corns -altogether unnecessary; indeed:we may say, the practice of
cutting corns is at all times highly dangerous, and has been fre-
quently attended with lamentable consequenc:s. besides its liability
to increase their growth. It adheres with the most gentle pressure,
produchig•an instant and delightful, relief from torture, and, with
porieveraace in its aeplication, entirely eradicates theemost in-

HOOPING COUGH.
UCH E'S celebrated HERBAL EMBROCA-
TION is a certain cure for this distressing and too frequently
fatal complaint.
Many thousands of children aie cured annually by this remedy;
on the first attack, an immediate application of the EMB ROCA.
TION will prevent the complaint taking any hold of the constitution,
and a few times using may completely cure. In most cases one bot.
tie will produce the desired effbct ; and no remedy can be so well cal.
ciliated for children as this, as it is an entire outward application, and
requires no medicine to be taken internally.
The Proprietor of this Embrocation has the pleasing satisfaction of
stating that many eminent members of the Faculty constantly recom.
mend it as the only known safe and perfect cure.
In no case can this medicine be genuine unless signed on the
wrapper, "J. ROCHE." Price 4s. and 11.25. per Bottle.
Sold by E. Edwards, 67, St. Paul's Church-yard ; also by Sanger
!so, Oxtord.strcet; White, 24, Cornhill; and by most respectable
Chemists.

culatcd to make any impression on the' odds-2the Craven
and 50 Sovs. Stakes: The _first proved beyond the pos-
sibility of doubt that Voltri's two-year-old performances
were " ciaite correct"—the other, that Rattan's public
and private merits have not been over-rated ; he made
a shocking example of his competitors, and having no
other engagement before the Derby, will make- bad
hedging for those who are against him.

The Mary Ann colt took the lead at a great pace, with
Voltri in waiting, and the others some lengths in the
rear. They ran so to the bushes where Voltri
was beaten, and the leader was followed by
by Corranna and St. Lawrence; the Saint gave up at the
cords, but Corranna, mending her position in the run in,
came with a rush at the finish, and won on the post by a
head ; St. Lawrence a very bad third, and the others
beaten off a long way from home.

The many novel mid varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-
tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par-
ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex-
pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies—
the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to
suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the hill benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di-
rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy
on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the
amount already invested; and this bonus, according to an equitable
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied ht reduction of future
premlunts

becoming claims before 1849.

Assurances effected on the equal scale of premiums in the year
18 4, will participate in the Bonus to be declared in 1849.

ceeding a decked, sailing, or steam-vcssel), from any one port
thereof to another during react., to Assurers not being seafaring

RAILWAYS.—On Saturday a return was issued of
all monies raised under acts whereby railroad companies
have been incorporated, from Janua 1826, to January
1844, distinguishing the sums raised as principal, from
the sums to be raised by loan or mortgage. The return
contains the names of 121 railways and the titles of no
fewer than 250 Acts of Parliament, which passed in the
years mentioned, under which the moneys were raised
The entire sum was " seventy-nine millions, twenty-six
thousand and three hundred and seventeen pounds !" of
which enormous sum 571387,785/. was capital in joint
stock, and'21,638,582/. to be raised by loan or mortgage.
From May 1833 the London and Birmingham Railroad
was empowered to raise 5,500,000/.., of which amount
3,500,0001. in joint stock, and 2,000,0001. by loan or
mortgage. This appears the largest amount set forth in
the return.— Sunday Paper.
AVARICE EVEN IN DEATH.—An • aged female men-
dicant, named Margaret Kerslerinn, being attended on
her death-bed by her sister, who also lived Munich en-
tirely on charity, desired with great earnestness that she
might be buried in the cap she then wore, as she was
greatly attached to it from its having been given to her
by a benefactress. The promise was given, and old
Margaret died in evident contentment. The sister took
off the cap to prepare it for its last office, but seduced by
a band round it, which she thought might be useful
to herself, set to work to unpick it. This operation had
not .proceeded far . when the , corner of a piece of
paper appeared, and going on with her work, other
pieces, to the number of 111, came forth, which, on
being examined, proved to be hank-notes of 10 florins
each, and consequently worth 1,110 florins, •or about
2,500 francs.—=Observer.

" The— appointment of a Bishop of approved piety,
ability, and zeal to the diocese of Jamaica, has given
much satisfaction to the colony.
" The patronage which her Majesty has been gra-
ciously pleased to bestow on the Royal Agricultural
Society of Jamaica is an inducement to increased
exertions on our part in the promotion of agricultural
improvement, and a gratifying proof of the interest
taken by our beloved Queen in the welfare of her
subjects in this island.

It will not, I hope, be considered out of place if
I express, on this occasion, the deep sense of obliga-
tion under which you have laid me personally by the
evidence you have given of your participation in my
domestic affliction.

" You are about to separate, at a period when your
presence at your respective homes is much required.
It is my earnest desire that your endeavours to pro-
mote the general welfare, and your own more imme-
diate interests may be attended with success ; and
that contentment and happiness may prevail among
all classes of the inhabitants of the colony.
" I do now, in her Majesty's name, prorogue. tWs
General Assembly to the 2d day of April next, and it is
hereby prorogued accordingly."
The House having returned, the list of Bills to
which his Excellency the Governor had been pleased
to give his assent was read, as was also a copy of the
speech his Excellency was pleased to deliver.
His Honour the Speaker then declared the House
to be prorogued to the 2d of April next by his Excel-
lency the Governor, and Hon. Members departed,
congratulating each other on the termination of their
labours.

worthy of notice.
HER MAJESTY'S BUCKIIOUNDS.
The day commenced rather inauspiciously for the fol-
lowers of the chase. A rather sharp frost had set in
during the night, and the worning opened with a strong
wind from the east ; the sun, however, which rose bril-
liantly, with scarcely a cloud to be seen in the heavens,
soon dispelled the effects of the frost, and the wind,
shortly after noon, shifted round to the north-west.
But as—

" A southerly wind and a cloudy sky
Proclaim a hunting morn,".:

appearances, in these respects, were not very promising
to the hundreds of horsemen who attended the last meet
of the Royal staghounds for the season, yesterday morn-
ing, at Stoke-common, about two miles from the Slough
station, and five from Windsor. The red coats mus-
tered on the • Common amounted to between 200 and
300, independently of as many horsemen not in hunting
attire ; the heath on either side of the high road was
lined with carriages containing the families of the nobi-
lity and gentry residing within a circuit of ten miles of
the meet. A great number of sporting characters arrived
from London by the morning trains, having sent their
horses forward the night preceding. The pedestrians
from the towns of Windsor and Eton, and the neigh-
bouring villages, began to assemble on the heath long
before the hour appointed for uncarting the stag, and
by half-past eleven o'clock the h, ()inlay folks amounted
to upwards of 3,000. The ,
, deer, Smuggler," which had
been selected for the days sport, upon being turned out
upon the right of the common, crossed the road amongst
the carriages and foot people, and after jumping over a
" one-horse slay. and capsizing a couple of old women
from Burnham, went away in splendid style towards
West-end,into the wood, and then in the direction of
Farnham, when it headed back through the wood to
Hedgerly, and thence to Bulstrode-park and Brocas-
wood. At this point it was headed back through Bul-
strode- park, where it leaped the high wall, after the
second attempt, making for Gerrard's-cross, and was
taken at the Great Wood, close to Chalfont St. Peter's,
after a very diversified run of nearly two hours and a half.
THE AQUATIC SEASON.
The forthcoming season bids fair to surpass any that
have preceded it, not only in the number of the matches,
but in the variety and excellence of the sport. The ex-
ceeding fineness of the weather during the last few days
has set the gentlemen who indulge in this popular, scien-
tific, and healthful sport upon the qui vine. During the
past winter the number of long boats laid down at the
respective boat-builders for the members of the Univer-
sities of Cambridge and Oxford, and other aquatic
patrons, has exceeded by far that a any former year;
and this, with the increased formation of aquatic clubs,
and the arrangements already entered into, augurs well
both in rowing and yachting. The opening match will
take place on Thursday next over the great aquatic
course (Westminster to Putney) amongst the gentlemen
of the Oxford Subscription Rooms; it will be a four-
oared cutter race, the crews being chosen by lot, for a
pair of silver oars and silver rudder. This will be fol-
lowed by the St. George's Boat Club Regatta, on the
28d instant, and by the first below-bridge sailing match

lioLnoitx.-11olebOurne is noticed in the Dooms-
day survey, where the Ring is said to have two cottages,
which pay xxd. a year to his Vice-comes. Tanner, in
the Notitia Monastica, refers to a charter dated so long
back as 1287, in which the grant of a place near Old-
bourne, where the Black Friars had before dwelt, to
Henry De Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, is recited. Henry De
Lacy died here, in 1312, and.upon its site the older part
of Lincoln's Inn has since arisen.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
NEWMARKET CRAVEN IJEETING.
MONDAY AFTERNOON.--The arrival of Lord Glasgow's
Deerslayer, and filly by Retainer, out of Purity, shortly
after our last dispatch was forwarded, followed in the
evening by very satisfactory entries for the Craven
Stakes and the two Handicaps, have agreeably disap-
pointed our anticipations as to the amount of sport the
week is likely to realise ; in particular, they made the
bill of fare for this afternoon attractive beyond our
hopes ; and admitting. the walk over for a race that of
yore was one of the most interesting of the many great
events decided at Newmarket, to have been a draw-
back to the regular visitors, gave considerable ec/at to
the commencement of the season. The company, owing,
no doubt, to•the extraordinary fineness of the weather,
the holidays, and the special trains, if less . numerous
than we have seen at many Craven Meetings, was more
so than the comparatively unimportant .nature of the
Stakes had led us to expect.
Of the six events described below, two only were cal-
