City, Wednesday Evening, half-past Seven o'clock

We have had a file of Dominica papers to.:day which present
us with the following addre.ts to the Council and House of
Assembly:— ,

Mr. President and Gentlemen Of the Council.
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen or the Assembly.
• In presentint, myself to the legislature for the purpose of ex-
onerating my hon. friend, Mr. President Jackson, from further
charge of the government his honour has so ably administered,
I have to inform your hon. ,board and house that this colony in
future is to be my chief place of residence.
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Assembly.
Notwithstanding the liberality of parliament, the effects of
the tempest still severely affects the poorer planters and other
inhabitants, aggravatediu many instances by the ravages of
the white fly, and it is anxiously to be hoped that some plan for
the adoption of the legislature may be devised, with the view of
assisting the sufferers and accomplishing the destruction of the
insect that so mischievously infects the coffee plantations. The
medical gentlemen of the island are about to investigate
this subject, and it is impossible to doubt the disposition of your
house to afford every practicable encouragement to so laudable
au undertaking.
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Council.
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Assembly,
The eminent marks of kindness and goodwill which your ho-
nourable houses were formerly pleased to manifest towords me,
inspire me with sentiments of high gratification on being enabled
once more to fix my abode in Dominica.

During my absence the relations of colonial society have been
entirely changed, and I rejoice to learn that in this island dis-
sensions between the employers and the employed are rare, and
that the peasantry, by their becoming deportment, generally
evince an increasing aptitude for the decent and industrious use
of the privileges eventually to be conferred on them.
Still much remains to be achieved ere the new position of the
community can be finally adjusted, and in the meantime, while
striving to conduct the executive government with strict impar-
tiality, firmly to repress faction in whatever quarter it may
venture to appear, and diligently to promote that spirit of union
and concord on the maintenance of which the prosperity of the
colony depends- I rely with confidence on the support of your
honourable board and house, and on the countenance of all
classes of bis Majesty's subjects, who are loyal to the King,
our most gracious Sovereign, and true to the interests of their
country.
(Signed) E. J. MURRAY MACGREGOR.
