PRUSSIA.—THE KING'S SPEECH.
The following contains a summary of the King of
Prussia's speech on the opening of the Chambers on
Thursday : BERLIN. Nov. 27.
The King having set out for Hanover, to be present at
the funeral of the late King, M. Manteuffel opened the
Chambers at 11 o'clock. Not a word is said in the speech
as to foreign politics, but it is very interesting as regards
internal politics.

WEST INDIES.
The " Medway" steam-ship, Capt. Symons, arrived at
Southampton on Wednesday with the West India and
Pacific Mails. She brings dates from Jamaica to the 28th
October; Havannah, 24th ; Chagres, 26th ; Barbadoes,
Nov. 2 ; and St. Thomas, Nov. 5. The Medway has
1,401,683 dollars on merchants' account. A serious
quarrel had taken place at Chagres between the American
and native boatmen, which had resulted in the loss of
several lives. From Jamaica we ltarn that the pimento
crop will be a full average one. The coffee crop also will
be abundant in most districts. The weather had been
very favourable for the planters. Little business had
been done in the produce market. The island was healthy.
The Legislative Assembly met for the despatch of business
on the day the steamer left. A court martial had been
held on Assistant- Snrgeon M' Bean, charged with strik-
ing Lieutenant O'Flanagan ; the decision had not been
promulgated when the mail left.

the red prison-serge and the chains of the convict. The
people crowd to see him as he works in the public places
