and, in March 1842, he was appointed to the governorship of Jamaica, which be held for four years, cot.ducting the affairs of the iriaud during a period of unusual difficulty with equal satisfaction .o the planters and the Government at home.In August, 1848, he resigned the Government of Jamaica, and m the following month was appointed Garernor-General of Canada, with a salary of ±7,000 per annum.Tbe manner iu which be set hioiselt to administer the affairs ot the colony speedily acquired for him the esteem and confidence of all classes of Canadians ; and, since then, Canada has rapidly recovered liom the ill effects of puty antagonism, and steadily progressed towards the high degree of prosperity which she at piesent enjoys.The zeal and ability which Lord Elgin has displayed in promoting every measure calculated to benefit the people cannot be too highly commended, while his moderation and im|mr-tiality have won for him the respect and admiration of all panics, whether in the colony, the moth*-, country, or the neighbouring republic ol the United States.After tbe usual toasts had been disposed of, The Chairman gave *' The Army and Navy.\u201d When they remembered the a* eues that bad so lately passed before their eye#\u2014that so many gjl-lant soldiers and well-manned ahips had fell their shores alter a peace of such long duration\u2014it w ;u impossible not to feel anxious lor their welfare, and to hope that they might be successlut.Sir J.M\u2018Donald returned thanks on b-half of the army and Rear-Admiral Kelly for the navy.Lord.J.Russeil aaid\u2014Gentlemen, I cannot but feel it a great honor that 1 should now be called on to propose to you in the presence of so many gentlemen who have been connected with the official administration of the colonies of this country, and iu the presence of so many merchant* of (he city of Lo< dun connected with the trade of Canuda, the health ol the noble lord wtic has presided with aurh distinguished merit over the government of our Canadian colonies (C bei ra) 1 rejoice, also, to have the opportunity ol speax-mg in the presence of tbe representative oi that great republic ot tbe west, whose sons are derived trum the same stock as ourselves, who speak the same language, and own the authority «4 the same ancient laws ax ourselv.a.(Coreiaf) Gentlemen, although it msy, perhaps, lake up some portion of your time, 1 may, perhaps, be permitted to allude to these perixls which have marked the term of our coirnial government.There wa* a period when the colonies of tins country\u2014tbe colonies to which our peuple had emigrated\u2014were, Ilka children, atlowid to stray where th- y lixled, without protection or shel tr, taking their chance of falling down the neighboring ctag, or being lost in the surrounding wilderness.That penod has pa«st-d away, hut it did not pass without imparting to many of our young colonies that vigour which enab.ed them afterwards to grow up into great and tree communities.But it did pas away, and we arrived at a penod when, by petty commercial restrictions, fir by undue exercise ol impartul prerogative we endeavoured to derive those advantage* from our colonies which we only ought to have expected from the most perfect freedom of intercourse.It was once said by a statesman who was a wit as well, thet the American war was caused by a Secrtary of State, who bett ought himself after many years of opening his des|>atchfs.What was meant to he conveyed by that was.that direction» were sent out from thia country cramping the commerce ot the colony, imposing taxes upon its community and lending only to ils aliénation, which would never have been proposed had the Secretary of State carefully read the despstchea which he had for year* been receiving from America.Even the fatal reverses ol the American war\u2014reverses which we incurred by our delays\u2014did not open the eyes of Government; and the same system was for many year# continued.No greater in stance of tbe folly of such a course of proceeding could be offered than tbe case of Canada, respecting which we endeavoured by Parliamentary litigation to prescribe rules and iaw-s for peopls who had a separate language, and separate customs.Such a system tended to produce only bickerings and disputes, and to make our govern-ots themselves only the tools of a mischievous and injurious system, («ear.bear.) But that time haa, 1 trust, likewise passed away.(Cheers.) With regard to Canada, at all event* we have tried, and are now trying, the ayatem of allowing a peope as ctpable as ourselves of discerning iheir true interests, without our continual and vexatious interferenca.(Loud cheers.) Able men have pointed out to Canada the u isdom end polity of uniting that which had been unwieely separated, but still tbe system of paying attention to the colony, of aiding its prosperity by restrictions that it required no ordinary ability and temper to carry the system into effectual operation.Such then was the proper field for (be development of such abilities as are poteesaed by my Lord E'gin.(Loud cheers.) It hie b« ;n hie duly to act the part of a constitutional king over a province which has been continually prospering and in-creasing under hia rare, which has risen from little more than a million to two million* of population and tbe revenue of which has increased in a abort time from a hall million to IdA\u2019O.OUO, and the imports and export* ol which have shown year by year ike symptoms of increasing trade and improving industry.(Hear.) i am not going to weary tbe awembly with details, nr even refer to the great events which occasioned the difficulties ol lb« noble lord\u2019s administration.We have had our times of difference in thie courtry mid they have had their differences in Canada but tamugh nil these difficeliies, the noble lord wa* aeeieted by nn excellent Prime .Minister, who I amgledtoeee ie pressât on thie occasion\u2014 (cheers)\u2014and with his aid tjw noble lord hat sue reeaftslly The results in and pire.(Hear, hear,) Well; gentlemen.I say that it may be a matter of national pride to us if Governor-Gen«*ia! in the policy be baa pursued, aouthern neixhbours.that m England when we I am not afraid or ashamed of avowing that con- I ssy that a man is too far north for mother we do lornnty of opinum ; and 1 only hope that in future not mean to asy that he wnm\t.0 b- his match\u2014(ljugh:er,)-aiid that ,f the Canadi.n 7 tunes, whatever may he the fate of that rnagnifi ™\tDVIM UN\u2019S ffWV- coped with the difficulties of hia position ill* have been thst w# have now secure loyalty a province inhabited by ee excellent d intelligent a people as any ia th* British Em- w# have at last succeeded, alter lb* two periods Of ignorance am) neglect, end narrow-minded In-terfeaenre, in establishing a new ayatem which will never prescribe interference, except when th* people ihemeelves would admit that imperial interests were concerned; and which, on the other hand, allowa with the utmoet liberality free scope to publie opinion a« regard» legislation, ns regards religious establishment», and a» regsrdt institutions which may differ bom our own, but of which the inhabitants of the colony «re, I should «ay, the beat and the only jndges (Hear hear.) But, again, I aay, «rimming all this, that it tcqinree no small portion of judgment and lor-beitanct to know how to administer government in «toch \u2022 country, and even beyond these quali-UM Of jud|ment and forbearance it require» high and rare gifts to enable e men wisely to rule over a people divided by many different partiee, and te preserve an even mean between his duty to hie Sovereign on the one hand, and the withe* of the people over whom he preatdeeon the other (HeiL beer.) Thw ia a sufficient reason why we how behold in thie room an many peraon* as-Dembled to ve eigri, or w bet her other views m»y actuate tbe mujonty of the po/.uUlion, the friendly feelings tb.it have hitherto subsided between the people of the United Kingdom sud tbe peopD of Csusda may be ron'iuued to be maintained, and that men like the Earl of Elgin may always b« found ready to govern with such temper and such skill as lias mtherto ilistiuguithed that noble Kan\u2019s adimnis-tru'ion.1 trust that whatever may he the turn ot events, the people of Canada may be either the moat attached of our fellow-subjects, or el least tbe firmest of our fnends.(Cheers.) Gentlemen, 1 shall not d* lain you longer than by pro-poMng ** The Health ol the Earl of Elgin.\u201d ( L« ud cher i s ) The Eail of Eloin was received with loud cbetis.Hr said\u2014My loids and gentlemen, it is «tally wty difficult for me\u2014I am sure 1 speak very unaffectedly when 1 say it\u2014to find word* to express «hat 1 feel on this occasion.(Hear, hear.) The noble lord (Lord John Russel*) commenced his apeerti by suggesting that be felt it to be an honor to he called upon in the presence of »o many prisons f onuected with official lilc\u2014so many distinguished merchants of the C.ty ol London, and so many individuals connected with Canada, to addu ss such a comp my a* is now here asseintiled.Thru, w hat must fie my teeluig when 1 recoded that all thee jiersoiis have met together tr> do honor to so bumble an individual as myseli.(Hear, hear.) It has been said, and said upon bigb authority, loo, that out ot the abundance oflbe heat l the mouth speak-th* ; but 1 cannot help leeting that the abundance ol the heart tells sometimes all the other way, and that when the heart is verv full with the many (noughts that throng for utterance, it is more than usually difficult to find words in w Inch to clothe lb«*m.I am exceedingly grateful to t!ie gentlemen cm.r.ected with Canada, and to the friends who have done nia the honour to invite me to this most sutnp:uout entertainment, and to the noble lor-t who fias not only sanctioned this mark ot their regard and consideration, by condescending to take the chair on this occa-cuiion, but bas ^dde-J to that lavor by expressing in term* to g>-ne:uu*\u2014so f,r beyond what 1 was entitled to ex|*ct at his bands, his approval of my humble serviras.(Cheers.) 1 feel all the peculiar value which attaches to expressions of approval coming liom one so eminent in position and character, and as a public servant, who has long been employed in the colonies.I am all the more sensible ol them, because, although I bave not had the honor at any time of serving directly under tne noble lo.d as Colonial Secretary, 1 have had am.de opfiortunity during my official career uf knowing how strong a claim the noble lord has established on the gratitude of the colonies w hen he held the seals of that depart-Blent, and ho a- numc-ious aie the monuments w hich he has left behind him of a wise and beneficent administration ol colonial affairs.(Cheers.) He has been good enough to give me credit for certain qualities of judgment and finîmes» iu \u2019he discuaige «1 what 1 b*-iieve to h ive been my duty ; but I thhik that before I can appropriate to myaeil these preists it is only just and right that I should ask whether the mrre fact ol my serving under the noble hud docs not greatly detract from any merit which may apjiear to attach to the possesssoii of tb*rse qualities t At any rate I remember an instance.1 siiou'd not allude to it on the present occasion.1 should carelully avoid even aduding to it were it not so eminently char-lensttc n| the noble lord, ami so iilus'rstire of \u2019he rr-cret of th-l inlluenco for g'K»l w_icu he is so abu-to xerci*e o\\ cr honourable men.1 re* niciuaer the case ot a public servant, certainly nota person oi a ,y great eminence or authority, not a person certainly whom tin re would have been great diihcuity in throwing overboard at a**/ time, nivire especially when the waves ofad-¦rrsity were running high, and teemed to threat en to close over bis head, but who at that m< ment was engaged in ihe^'is'.-h.irgc of very oner as and responsible duu-s, and endeavourin \u2014not by the exercise of any brilliant talents, God knows hut by the application o! i'«tirnce and an earnest and.I will say, self-denying spirit\u2014 solve a problem iu government which had but tied the skill of fir abler men ; ami I remembrr how, when that individual was mate ihe object ol att icks (of which 1 will say nolmug because tr;eÿ were nat ini enough under the circumstances) recollect, I say, how the noble lord provoked ouis ol chivalrous sympathy in an assembly ol r ngush gentlemen, of wbicu he is the fit.ng representative end organ, by riie use he made of these simple woids.*\u2022 v.e should be the b>«e«t of men if believing Lord Elgin to be in tbe right, we w«-re to,.:i»serl him in h:s diifieiilty.\u201d (Cheers.) 1 should be the most ungrateful ol men (and th it is a character to w hich at least 1 can lay no claim) il I were to forgot tnose words or the circumstances in which ihey we>t spoken.(Hear, bear.) From this huh arena 1 can look back to my career in Canada, extending over a period of seven year*\u2014a lonif time considering the rapidity with which events succeed each other in new countries end in jiroof ol which 1 may mention the fact that live ol my predecesaors in the office ol governor-general have hardly filled (lut \u2022itusliom for a more extend 'd term.I can look back in retro-sped anti reffect upon the progress which the colony has matte, At to the changea that have taken jnace not in its outward form and structure but in (be practical working ol its jioiilical institutions \u2014upon the shock\u2014the mevitvb e shock\u2014which lhe\u2018«: changes have given to leeiin-s and jirepo-ssessioii* for which i feel a sincere sympathy, and I mjght be greatly tempted in this opportunity to e,.ter into some explanations and details winch mighi serve to throw light ujwii paM transactions, and to remove doubts from Uie minds of those wiiose good opinions 1 de'ire to secure.But, upon r eflection, I have resolved to resist that temptation, because 1 feel tha; the time at our duffosal ibis evening is very precious, and that we have other and lar more imp \u2019rtaiit matters in hand.] must say lor myself that what is chiefly gratifying to me in connection with this re-union, and far more gratifying than any bearing which ibis asiemb.y may have on my personal interests and prospects, is, that my humble services, should have luruished an occasion lor bringing toge'her so many i.llueiitial jiersons in the centre ol this busy nietrojtoiis, ai.d induced them to bestow upon Canada a few hours snatched from thnr ordinary cares and occupation*\u2014(cheers)\u2014for 1 cannot but ihmk that it is greatly lo be regretted that little attention is ap-;>aicntly.at least in the usual course of things, !»e#towcd upon this class of subjects.This seeming indifference has not only a ten tency to chill the feelings of the colonists by producing cot responding feeling m them, but it induces the people ol this countiy to set a lower value than they ought to do upon colonial interests.(Hear.) i have had (he good fortune, within 'he last two or three month*, to be present twice *t three banqutts held in this very loom iu honour of governors of East India presidencies and attended by many distinguished persons in this country 1 confess that wnen i lislt-ned to glowing pictures of tbe prospects ol India ubmitlcd to the \u2022 audi encea, and duly spread over the country through the instrumentality of the press, 1 could not help feeling something ot jealousy and regret that no similar oppoitunity was given for calling Ihe attention ol the people of this country to that great weatern dependency, which though it is no doubt inferior in wealth and importance to India, and though its condition in many respects even contrasts strikingly with the condition of ,ihiia, is not exhibited by native tribes, but by a population drawn from the moat energetic and active lacee, Englishmen, Frenchmen, Irishmen, and Scotchmen, and is bordered not by effemma'e and decayed empires, but by a youthtul ami vigorous republic, wboae dis'ipgutshed lejueseutalive has honoured u* wnh his company this evening, and between whose country and me people of Canada generally give me leave to aay, that nothing but feeling* ot mutu.il respect and gratitude are entertained.(Hear, hear.) Well, gentlemen, your great kindness to me pertotmlly bas provided juat such an opportunity, and I believe that there are very few persons in this country, without the wall» of th»* room, wh» form any adequate conception ot the magnitude ofthe question with which w* are dealing, when we talk ofthe interests and the fatnre of Canada.(Cheer*.) This Canada, of which we speak *n glibly, is the great heart of British America, and the greater part of the northern continent of Arnenca ia still British.True, « large portion of that region is barren and inhospitable, but as to Canada\u2014a> d may join with it the staler province*\u2014It is notorious that it contains a territory capable of »ustainin||C many million» of inhabitants, and ia snjrerior in salubrity, fertility and everything that can make residence desirable to person* of our tare to any part ofthe American emtinent.(Cheer* ) And ss to its being the more north» rn part of the continent.I am obliged sometime* to^ *ay to our Canadian fvllo«v»«ubjecta, when With jhat modesty and diffidence which distinguish them, they vaunt of the great qualities of their people only make the mo«i of thrir great retour-ce* and advantage* the prove b uni become quite as aigatficent «mmtry.th* itxU* inheritance oi the Butiah people, «iid which is no a brought by thr agency of x'eaui within a week\u2019s di«tanre of our shores, is at this morno.t in a eordi\u2019ion of pr>s-perily altogether unexampled, mi is sff'jrdi g to an extent, which to its pre/iMu*history furuul.ei no parallel, x profitable field f.*r the iruvestmet of English capital, and a congenial home lor the subjects of her Mijcsty of all ranks oflife.I c«n add also, m congrmation uf what the noble loi J said, that a spirit ol loy.Uy and attachment to the Queen pervade* all cLsst* of th« colonw\u2019s.whose institutions as far as cir-uontances will permit, are now hajqiily a faithful imitation of those of the mother country.(Heer, bear.) The people ol Canida.divided as they are ietn different iares, yet recognise the fact that the cuaunou inU-reiU which unite them are greater than the caua s of \u2022livissoiL (Cheer* ) TfriD no doubt a very different picture of the condition of Cauada fro.n what u*ed to be sketched by tbow who fara\u2019-riy vied with each o'ber in the coutiasU they drew between the w retched slate of our province* ai d \u2022bat of the adjoining republic, and, therefore.] may be asked wbat are the causra which have jiroduced the result» that have recently been witnessed in Canada Î Now, nothing could be more absurd than to ascr be the present piosperity of these provinces to any one single cause.Canada has largely participated in the p o»|ieii.y which has | revaiied ail over the rommerciil world.I diivo\u2019.ion to her Msjeaty'x service, with * p*\u20190yer regard to (lie right- and interest* of th* kindred nod neighbouring people.Would to ll.reren wc bad such goveruors-geueral iu all the Kuropeau colonies In the' vicinity of the United States I His lordship had solved one of th* most difficult problem* of aiateiniitMliip.lie has been able, successively aud satisfactorily, to admiuis-ler, amidst many difficulties, a colonial government over a free people.This is an easy task where the coiunisuds of n despot are law to his obedient subjects; but not so in a colony where the |*ople feel that they posm-s* the rights and |>ririleg^i of native-born Britons.Aud, now, what àiutll 1 savin reply?Had I not imagined All that remained to hojie for was, that, as she had sliowu patience in adrenity, she would now exhibit moderation suiudile to her present good fortune.Mr.llivcxa (who was received with load ap-plauae) «aid\u2014My Lord Jobu Russell, my iordx nnd geutleuic-n, believe me, 1 fuel deeply sensible of the high honour whirl) you have conferred upon me.It is a source of much j»ersonul gratification that this toast should bnvc been proposed iu such complimenta,y terms by a noble earl with whom 1 have had the honour of holding official intercourse, and who from his first eutmoce into public life has devoted so much of his attention to column] subjects.1 feel at fie same time that that my own humble instrumentality might eon- j the compliment is not so much jiaid to the indivi-tribute in some small degree to remove existing dm,I, or to any measure of tbe colouial polic\u201c * causes of dissension between the two countries, and to confirm and jierpetuute their mutual friend- ship, 1 should not have eujoyed the privilege of believe that she suffered severely in th-* first instance from tbe removal of protection ; yet although the consequence of the collapse in tbe ar-'ificiri trade ol the Su Lawrence was senous, I have no doubt but bv energy and «elf-relmr.ee C -nada will be abb* to repair the loss which recent leg slation occasioned.(Hear, hear hear ) but above all theae cames, there were cau.-e-, ( think, in the ol I system of colonial government, which were very uofavour-ibie lo piogie»» ; and something has been rioQ''of late years to remove these obstacles.(H»-ar ) Formerly there were always two juirtias ip the colony, one of which was seit-aiyied the imperial and the other lb» colouial party\u2014they took opposite snlei uu all disputed (prenions\u2014the one looked for support to the authority of the hume Government, and the other called for colonial independence\u2014the strides between the two were lutermuiable.It has b**eu said that the new syvtem ot respourille self-government w hich hu happily taken tbe place ot the old ayatem, gave a triumph to extreme oppinioas ; but my beitel is j u; Ihe contrary of this, an I n the ne w system is ma ie jwrmat.ent t think a ni -ie temperate tonewil! jirevail amongst c.do\u2019iial politicians than has hitherto existed, and will l.y-aud-bye take possession o| the colouial jirea?» Iikcwis».(Hear, hear.)

sight.[From the New York Courier Si Enquiter.] Another disaster has been added to thia winter'* terrible history.A ship bound to this port with two hundred eniigranlson b>»ard has foundered, and not a survivor is left to tell the tale- Men.women and children have sunk into the depth» ot Ihe aea, in the very sight of the land where rested their brightest hopes.No ear heard their bubbling groans, no eye witnessed their moital agony Their bruised and mangled corpses, spared by the waves only to be dashed in tury upon the shores, ate their only memento.It is scarcely possible to exaggerate the terrors of so frightful a catastrophe ; and yet it is only one of several of the same kind w hich have ocruried to shifis within the last four months.The total number of per»oni who perished on the Pow'iallan, including the officers and crew is a t least two bundled and twenty ; on board the Tay-leur, wrecked in the Irish channel./Are* Aun-dred and seventy ; on bosrd tlie Staffordshire.wrecked off Cape Sable, one hundred and eighty ; and on board tbe steamship 6'oti our coasts since the beginning of winter has been fesrfullv great.These vessel* are peculisrlv exposed to the dangers of coast navigation, i his is not merely in consequence of their size, but becanse they are nlmost uniformly weak handed, and commanded by men of limite'! nautical skill, who owe their position chiefly to tbe fact of being part owners, rhe amount of properry desltoyed has been enormous, reaching in the case of all disasters on the Atlantic, during th*-last year, to a figure w hich even daring arithmeticians would shrink from \u2014 certainly, if Lloyd\u2019s List afford any aort of an index, beyond ten millions Ol dollars.It is doubtful whether with all our boasted improvements in marine architecture, our ships of the present day are not more exposed to the perils of *.he deep than were thise ten or twenty years ago.It is certain that our ships are more difficult to menage on account ol their great height and breadth of eanvasx, which disadvantage h«s not been compensated by any corresponding generally-adopted im|»rovement in the rigging or steering apparatus.It is also certain that the efficiency of our crew* has considerably deteriorated\u2014sailors being fewer in number, far moie generally foreign, and more freely intermixed with abandoned and worthies» characters.Again, tbe number of first rate captains hss not multipliedin proportion to the vast increaie oj the shipping ; »rt is every year operating more and morn to dau.,i?n that ardor and ambition to make quick voyages which used to be such an incentive to our Packet \u2022hips when they had full sweep of the ocean.In many essential articles our vessels are no better provided now, than they were years ago.If there be one single thing of prime necessity to a tea-going vessel, it is a first-rate romp>ss; at n relative thereto wjiPoe lihe»irt|y rewi^dc^an I :m\\ one.after tKir'fîotice.fonpti wih thewaijin in
