The following is a copy of the Address:—
,Ve, the planters, merchants, and others interested in the
'°lol3y of Jamaiea are desirous of offering to you the expression
°t, our most sincere and cordial participation in those sentiments
°f admiration, esteem, affection, and gratitude with which all
classes of our fellow-colonists in Jamaica have acknowledged
lh
.e benefits which your wise, able, beneficial, and impartial
•"'lninistration of its government has conferred on them.
fh° offer of that Government was made to you at a period
t'tte most eventful in the history of Jamaica; her legislation
h.
been suspended, her constitutional rights had been in-
)roed, her legislation, her Magistracy, and her whole resident
oprietary Body had been misrepresented and calumniated ;
°me relations which should subsist between the Mother Country
!and her Colony, and -between the different classes of society
an that Colony, werd disturbed and impaired by mutual sus-
picion and distrust—your acceptance, at such a crisis, of a
itself
a
so arduous and difficult, of itself entitled you to our
,t.rnisest gratitude and to our highest admiration. It was in
pledge of the principles on which that trust would be
executed. It was of itself the assurance that you had accepted
the Government with the disinterested and noble purpose of
rseendering an essenal andservice to your country, by restoring to
ethe confidence affection of her most valuable Colony.
To the accomplishment of this purpose your administration
was unceasingly directed : the spirit of conciliation and et:infi-
del-me in which you acted towards the Local Legislation, the
Island Itlagistracy, and all classes of the community ; the can-
dour with which you appreciate d the fidelity with which in your
coinmunictstions to her Majesty's Government you represented
the uncompi nmising honesty with which you vindicated their
motives and thair acts, and repelled the prejudices, the misre-
presentztiow, and calumnies by which they have been assailed ;
the constitutional respect which you evinced for the institutions
of the. Colony, and the strict impartiality with which you
Inaintained the just rights of all, secured for your Administra-
tion their entire confidence, and their zealous and aetivesupport.
Amongst the beneficial effects of your administration were
NI reconciliation of the Colony with the Mother Country, the
teTstoratien of order and harmony and good feeling amongst
:L3es—legislation was resumed, laws were passed adapted
change which had taken place in the social relations of
tibf t'illnhabitants of Jamaica, the cordial and active co-operation
sat ea,Legislature was afforded, notwithstanding the financial
bf so.tes of the Colony in extending, at a great cost, the means
vaiti.itous and moral instruction, and in making the mos;
EAr improvements in the judicial system. It is the pecu.
*B 7u distinguished character of your administration that it
Pliendileted on those principles which enabled you to accom-
„out the intentions and views of her alajesty's Government
ski Lille British nation, not merely without the opposition, but
the active concurrence of the people whom you governed ;
ri that whilst it secured you their gratefal affections, it me-
Tel and received the high approbation of your Sovereign.
suchinfluence of those qualities which enabled you to render
important services is not confined to the age or to the
fe,• n,trY in which they are exercise d, your administration will
knot
the principles on which the Government of Jamaica,
iil„ not of Jamaica alone, but of every other colony, must and
hcjeafter be administered.
1A.,: he people of Jamaica will not only retain a grateful admi-.
-414 of your Government, they will dwell with affectionate
gratitude and esteem on your Christian charity, ever largely
aulreised in alleviating individual distress—on your kindness
pu. condescension in private lire, and on your munificent sup-
svlt °f all their religious and charitable institutions, and of
la-erY undertaking which could promote the prosperity arid
tpness of the Colony.
t„,:! beg to assure you that we shall ever regard with sena-
-111-41.5 of the most heartfelt gratitude your administration of
hie, Government of Jamaica. That we shall ever feel the
yn.14.,""t esteem and respect fur your exalted character, and that
of welfare and happiness will ever continue to be the objects
ur affectionate solicitude.

t„ this Address, Sir Charles Metcalf gave the following
-awer
I
pi., am deeply sensible of the honour conferred on me by this
cia,lejeding. To find my services in Jamaica so highly appre-
ea,,--" in this country by those who are interested in that Colony

however, the presumption to attribute this distinguished
teeeention with which you have greeted my arrival in England
es" claim 'on my part. It proceeds from the same generous
• ~stig that has prevailed in Jamaica, and cheered me through-
• "LY residence ,adman tt beautiful island. In ascribing bene-
th_ effects to any istration, more credit is given to me
than I deserve, and less to our fellow-subjects in the Colony
aft is their due.
iltateharged by her Majesty's Government with a mission of
as and reconciliation, I was received in Jamaica with open
first. The duties which I had to perform were obvious. aly
th proceedings were naturally watched with anxiety ; but as
eke). indicated good will and a fair spirit, I obtained hearty
,„,'Port and co-operation. The views of her Majesty's Go-
to were adopted and carried into effect, even at great
-St
to the Island; and the unavoidable losses and vexations
as,;:i• sed by the altered state of the relations between employers
las, labourers, were borne with exemplary patience. My
