entirely for local wasamptior. The brig Liffey, Captain Power, from Newport for °tends, with • cargo of creels, went ea share on the mks at Long Boma the night of the 190.. Happily, no life was lost. At Desensra the tax =Lance for 1847-48, which expired the 30th Septembee lest, bad teen revived from the Bth August for three months, =poen/ the old wale of duties for that period. The effect of this asaiew had been to throw the market into a state of eenfasisa, ss mach so, that prices could not be cent= with any degree of accuracy. With the exception of spirits, se material rise had takes place. A great portion, however, of the large and deteriorated stocks of provisions had been thrown up= the market, with some chance of meeting protesters under the protection at present afforded, as new =- poi tiling could not be brought in to compete with them. The weather was favourable, and produce, it was expected, would become more plentiful. Ship piig was adequate to the wants, and freights were quoted at 2s. 3d. to 2s. 6d. Exchange was 466 dole to 468 don for private bills, 90 days sight; haul ditto, 476 dole.; ditto, 30 days, 480 don At Jamaica the discontent on the p.l of the planters appears to be on the Inman. At St. Lucia the erop season was drawing to a elope, and the shipments of the staple. were nearly completed. Two mina the Monarch and O.bert, were loading in the poet, and two others were ex pected to arrive; these latter, however, would not be illled with the produce of this year. The experts from the let of January to the 21st of August amounted to 3,869 hhds., 178 ww, and 1.953 barrels of sugar, 717 puncheoos of moisten, and 12 pantheon of nu" The two TWOS receiving mg*, it was cal culated, would take 450 hhde., which, witl the addition of at least 150 hhds , which were likely to await the later vessels, would bring up the total sugar crop of 1849 to about 5,000 hhds., or about 500 had,. over the experts of last year. This favourabl remit was swilled, firstly, to the almost uninter rupted 'weasel= of good seasons which, at every pro gressive stage of cultivation and =staunches, had aided the plantain in taming to the beelines.= mesh mesas and materiels as they could wasesod, and sweaty, to the opportune reinforcement of labourers obtained fr.on the government in the earlier pert of the year. But for the very wins drawback experienced in consequence of the disturbances in March last, as well in a diminu tion of labour, as in a considerable destruction of growing eases and manufactories in some parts of the island, a much larger crop would have been pro ducal this year, more especially with the valuable assistance derived from the labour of the African immigrants introduced in the coney, who, it is satis faqory to learn, in all cases, repay most amply by their aptitude for estate-work, and the steady devoted ness of their conduct, the lindens and likrality of their employers. Favourable expectations were entertained from the preparations which were being made for the future crop. From St. Vincent we learn that the crop for the present year was nearly completed, though in the Interior a good deal remained to be done, the opera• lions of planters having ken cramp:el by the we valence of a small-pox amongst their labourers. no amenable weather bad greatly tended to facilitate the process of sugar making. Only three vessels were loading for the mother-country. Of sugar this year, than had been exported, up to the 22nd of August, 7,665 hhds., 323 tie, and 1,030 barrels; of ram, 1,173 puns., 56 hhds., and 18 quitter casks; of molasses, 2,462 puns.,lß hhds., and 23 quarter casks. Great hopes were entertained of an improved crop for 1850. Advices from St. Christopher complain of the drought which continued to prevail. A few showers had fallen in some of the leeward parishes, but they were very partial, and serious damage to the next year's crop was apprehended unless rain should fall very sow. By a statement recently published of the position of the Grenada branch of the West India Bank from the 29th Jan., 1948, to the 15th August, 1849, it appears that a redaction had taken place in the liabi- Mien to the extent of 98,143 dollars. This is satis factory, as showing the progress made in winding up the asks of the back in that Wand. At St. Jago de Cuba the stock of coffee was ex hausted, though the exports this year amounted to no more than 9,500,000 lbs., compared with 14,500,000 lb.. last year. The growing crop was not expected to exceed that of the present year. Sugar was not in stock. The weather was unfavourable for the stand- int Arrvanna the exchange was 131 to 14 per cent. Freight to Cowes and a market V. 7s. 6d. to 21. 100. The exchange at St. Thomas was quoted at 487/ for 90 days' sight, with little basinses doing.

TIM DAT-Mann& 74 Da Afteopme. 74 Da To-assawr..ailfllialt, MIA a Mienkes4 9 41174 LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25. Is the greater portion of Ireland there is just now but one idea, and that is—sneer. The occupier of the soil, the nominal propel Or, and the collector of rates and taxes—each is in turn engrossed by the one paramount thought, and the considerations there with connected. The tenant garners the produce of his fic:il in haste, and hurries it after nightfall to some distant. plies of security, lest the irealvent landlord or the inexorable tax-gatherer should pounce upon it all for the payment of the lest two, or it nay be three years' arrear. The landlord in his tarn, grown more than ever reckless and desperate, waits with daily increasing apprehension the immured approsches of the law, whereby his too long neglected imd misused inheritance is to pass away from him for ever to pay . the mortgagee his principal morey, be cause the interest has been long accumulating in ermar. And the collector of poor-rate or county sees, stimulated by the immuring urgency of those who employ him, levies fiscal war against both ; and eseennters upon all sides the recompense foretold to the sans of IsHmAEL, for every man's hand is closed if net raised against him. Some raising of the hand in actual conflict there has ever hien, in mountain districts or the more lawless prices where resistance to authority seems to be inerradicable, no matter how times or circum stances change. Limerick and Tipperary maintain their ancient character for turbulence, and evince the old disposition to revenge, while in other locali ',ties we hear of little beyond a rescue or midnight soaping. The most is made of course of every viola tion of the law where the law-making class are the panics interested. There is comparatively little at tention given to the cases of excessive seizures levied by the tax-gatherer, or unwarrantable attempts made by the weepier to frustrate his purpose. Too user suseuragements and examples have been enued by unteriesipled men among the gentry during the hat two years to defeat the collection of poor rates ; an d it miurt be added that in the main the farming classes have seldom shown any other reluctance to pay a tax for the maintenance of the destitute in their own locality than such as may be truly ascribed to positive inability at the moment, or the bitter conviction that but for the abandonment of their duties by the proprietors of land there had never been any need of an impost half so large. Bat gene rally speaking the poor rates have been marvellously well paid dunag 1848 and the first six months of 1849. There are still arrears outstanding; but two thirds of them are due by landlords, not by tenants. The heaviest balsam on foot of unpaid t ixes which at the present moment overhangs the Irish tenant is the county cese,—a rate imposed in every county for the making of roads and bridge& and the mainte nance of prisons, hospitals, lunatic asylums, and other local institutions. This cess amounts upon an average to a sum of 1,250,0001. a year throughout the king dom; or, in other words, to a sum corsidembiy putter than the whole produce of the excise duties La Ireland. Ills imposed by a strictly exclusive and wholly irresponsible body, nominated from the prin cipal proprietors of each shire ; and while it is paid in all cases by the occupiers alone, it is appropriated as the aristocratic cess-makers please. To say that each a tax so imposed and expended is un popular, is bat to my what any one might readily have presumed. Levied by a representative body, and carefully economised in its outlay by re sponsible administrators, its amount would probably be lessened, and its unpopularity would certainly be diminished; but added as it has lately been to un reduced rent and augmented poor rate, it is not strange that during the las: three years it alai has been found hard of collection, and that it has fallen heavily into arrear. But we shall bear little of whatever frauds or vie lences may arise in the attempt to collect the amount due on foot of county cess. In ordinary times when protection rents were pretty punctually paid, the collective vigour of the hereditary tax-masters seldom permitted any default on the part of the hereditary taxed-men. Bat when the failure of the potatoe com pelled the small farmer to eat the corn be used to sell to seder to pay his rent, and when after his few head of cattle and fewer articles of household Mellitus bad been distrained, the amount of arrear atilt seemed as far from liquidation as ever,—landlords individually began to wish that, "at least for the present," the collection of county cess should not be pressed for, lest their private chances of squeezing a little more out of the hapless occupier should be thwarted by the pressure of public exaction. For they also, in a majority of cases, were pressed is well as presider for arrear. Mortgagees sr ho forebore when one half year's interest lay unpaid, grew angry and much given to epistolary remonstrances, invectives, threats, and final warnings, when no sign of the woad halt year's interest appeared. At last a foreclosure bill in equity or a petition for a receiver was filed, and then law costs began to cover with their rank and parasitic growth the mountain of serene. Thus from the humblest to the highest, and from the peasant occupier of a little farm in Mayo to the methodical capitalistwho is punctual to the half minute with his solicitor in Lincoln's-inn, the one paramount question has long been, what is to become of the urear P And now that question seems to demand more imperatively than ever some reasonable answer. Clear enough it is to all impartial on-lockers, that if the net result of the first return of plenteous harvests be in Ireland only the letting loose without scruple or check of all the legal claims which various climes' have against each other—whoever gets paid or half paid in the scramble this year, there will be little or nothing for anybody this time twelvemonth. Whit fanner will sow or stock his farm anew, if he finds that all his exertions are Insufficient to g ain him a respite even until Christmas that he may have his chair.* of a better price or a remoter market P Or what man of enter prise and capital wiL venture to settle in the midst of a district where such scenes as we daily transcribe from the Irish local journals a on tinne to recur, and where their sterilising, barber sing, and pauperising consequenoes cannot be remote ,? If ever there was a time v dm on all bands the utmost forbearance was a duty, it is the present. Fore-thoughtful self-inter, et and generous fortitude alike dictate a consideratf J course of dealing with the occupying clam of land in the sister king dom. A few great r aortgagees may flatter them- Delves that, through 1 . he intervention of the Encum bered Estates Ball they will get out of the serape without INS. But the great mass of the pro perty of the 00 nr HT must inevitably struggle and suffer on without its interposition. The chief of the commission uplr Anted to carry out its provisions, took an opporMnlty., recently of stating that, for his part , he " had no intention of going at the railroad pare which sow, persons apprehended ;" and the want of personal c ,r professional weight which unfortunately character' mesilis colleagues will hardly warrant them, were tk ,ey so disposed, in leaving Baron RICHARDS "How is it that the monarchically governed and re otected colonies, all around the great republic of the 'Jolted States, are eternally menacing their sovereign and their sovereign's government that they will break the connexion, and brander their alliance or allegiance to their republican neighbours ?

The fault is not in the monarchy, bat in those who administer it, who mo nopolise all authority and influence in it, and would exclude the public from all participation and in flaence. They say, that to let the people so participate would beget all the disorder, witnessed in the old broken-up monarchies of Eu rope. Yet, on turning to the New Woil4, we find content, and tranquillity, and free government there, where popular influence prevails; whilst we fled dis content, disaffection, and rebellion, threatened or overt, where the people go for nothing, and where the struggle lies betwixt the old aristocracy or go vernment party. and the offirnals of the present time. Tele voice of disaffection, this threat of annexation, we hear from on all sides—from Canada, from Jamaica, from Guiana. And we shill, no doubt, hear it soon echoed from the Cape, and New Zealand, and Australia. What would not India say, had it a tongue? No doubt we have excuser. Same of the causes of grievance, which rankle deep in the bosom of our colonies, were to as, who gave them, sacred causes. Liberal principles, which prevail at home, often come like oppression when enforced abroad. A riot at Montreal rewards the popular leanings of Lord ELGIN ; whilst the members of the Jamaica Assembly have turned EAMPDENSI rather than vote taxes for a government, wh!cb insists on giving the English a fair and a cheap supply of sugar. Singular it should be that the chief accusation made ogainst the policy of the monarchy should be its un certain and wavering . nature, its proceeding by fits and starts, its resolving passionately and enforcing precipitately. On the contrary the policy of the repub lic, where popular influence prevails, has been steady, unswerving, patient You may reckon on the policy of the government of the United States : on the monar chic government of Great Britain no one can reckon. For never was the earium et mutabile so applicable to a government as it is to that of England dating the last qusr:er of a century. So much for the sta bility of a monarchic policy : We need not, however, in being thus bat justly severe upon our constitutional system, admit the conclusion, that absolute monarchy is either more felicitous or more stable in its colonial administration. If ever there was a colony with the elements of great ness, it is Cuba. As the colony of a tropical climate, its wealth produced by the labour of the negro slave, it stands alone in that great condition both of civilisa tion and security :—its white population exceeds its black. Of the million souls in Cuba more than one half are of Spanish origin, which shows that it con tains not merely a caste of proprietors, but a middle class of industrious men of European dement, and even of labourers. This great mass of popula tion has sprung up, too, within little more than half a century; and in consequence of the commercial freedom which the political convulsions of Europe procured for Cuba, in despite of the ignorant tyranny of the mother country, the extensive fertility of the island, its position, its requirements, its pro duce, the facilities of communication, by sea and land, which it possesses, have all contributed to render it the true Eldorado, sought by so many adventurers, and found by none. The most magnificent dependency that could have been given to a European country was Cuba. And Spain has more facilities for keeping it,than any other country can have for its western colonies. Its half million of the Spanish race in the midst of a negro population nearly equal in amount, would alone have been a strong link to bind it to the mother country. Menaced by the ambition of the people of the United States!, it might, as portion of an old European monarchy, and of the old European "Totem, claim the protection not only of Spain, but of other countries allied with Spain, and interested in the independenue of these western islands. But, with all this, Cuba is an important, and more than a self-subziatent land. It is no little barque, to be towed after a crazy old vesseL It has wider necessities and facilities of trade: and as to Spain imposing a bead tax upon it, as it has had the folly to do, the very idea is intolerable and preposterous. The half-million of the Spanish race in Cuba, toe, must have some show of self-government. To suppose that an island situated between Jamaica, San Domingo, and Florida, should rest contented with the stupid tyranny of a military viceroy, responsible to no one, is insanity. But the moderado generals and statesmen, who govern Spain, have no idea of conceding to popular Deem ties. , Repression, resistance, martial law, executions, these form their sole maxim of politics. We know not how long they may rule Spain with such a rod, but Cuba they will decidedly lose, if they go on with their stupid conservatism. It is difficult to say whether the rule of such men as RONCALI, O'DoNNELL, and TACON, is more die gusting to the Spanish population of Cuba or to the black population. The worst form of slavery exists in the farms of Cuba; the most miserable and pane t Hoes tyranny disgusts the European race of the Havannsh. Unless some politicians, liberal and n ise, attain to power in Madrid, and ap?lv themselves to changA the entire administration of Cuba, it is de cidedly lost to Spain. It does not, however, follow, that because it shakes off the yoke of Spain, it is to put on that of the Anglo- Saxon race of the United States. The whites of Cuba have no need of the Federation to protect them against the negroes. Nor have they need of any such aid to protect them from too sudden emancipation. They form a powerful body, wealthy enough to support a large army. They have every material of self-government and self-defence. Cuba is not, like other islands in the same latitude, explode by speculative foreigners or sojourners on the island. Its proprietors live on it, increase in it, and have their progeny to provide for in connexion with the island, not in connexion with such sutra as may be extracted from it. Such a body, with such interests and views, would soon see the necessity of stopping the influx of any more savages from Africa. And with the prohi o bition of that trade would commence a very different treatment of the slaves, and steps towards their final t emancipation. Or all the cases of public defalcation and officio; neeigence that ever chanced to be discovered, pro bably the most astounding is the ease of Salctir Forest, of which we gave the details in the Ex press of . yesterday. The most extraordinary ex posure raises questions of the most vital public inte rest. The abuse of government patronage—the ignorance of public departments—the utter neglect of responsible ministers of the crown of the very interests immediately committed to their cue the necessity of constant parliamentary supervision of public offices the system of keeping government accounts, the desirability of constant checks and audits, the prosecution of offend ers, the payment of rewards for their apprehension, the mode of putting them on trial, the admisskn of the plea of " guilty"—the whole system of trial by jury,— these are o nl y a portion of the questions which are raised by the series of remarkable disclosures which, after the lapse of 15 years, the public are indebted to Lord DoNcate for eliciting. " Murder will oat." There was no set of facts con nected with their maladministration which the Com missioners of Woods and Forests probably felt more secure about than these very facts connected with the disforesting of Salcey. In fancied security they had shelved the subject. Every precaution had been taken to make the case a blank. The man who was the principal agent in the offence had died a con vict in a penal settlement. The officer who discovered his guilt was dead and buried also. The futr, bad been smothered up in the court of criminal :justice. A proposal, we " will not say a barge in," had been made that the criminal wor,td plead guilty, to avoid the exposure of the facts, provided he was subjected to a lig ht and friendly sentence. Out of the o ffi ce of the rrjds and Forests those facts could scarcely be expecte d to be known. In Salcey Forest, the scene of the orience, the extent i e m u p n os d a e i r ble _envies was unascer of WILLIAM KING KENT'S defie bhad lt ad wa d there to distinguish if o TPrnment authority from done son in the wr y of spoliation, robbery, and plunder. No dor, therefore, was left to the offence. With - geß ' w .d "wwhainhaeltt he e e to KENT himself, every trace of tk‘ j histo r y and con nexion with the government wu " MISSING." The very min'.its books" of the department, which might har.e told the tale of his connexion with Mr. Mann. %were "nowhere to be found!" The Woods and Forests, like the MANNINGB, had de stroyed every trace of the offence. They had buried every "Article of evidence in a quick-limed grave. I They had themselves escaped alike from puha° jaad and official reprehension, until a trace wrong was accidentally discovered among the Shag that covered up the secret, and the electric telegraph of Lord DUNCAN'S keen apprehension conveyed the inquiries which resulted in this astonishing exposure. The abuse of government patronage which this case reveals is in all respects equal to the went instances we ever heard of. MANNING received an appointment in the militia " because a coble lord had a respect for his father; O'CONNOR wee pm. e.lecAteild Mr.for I t he i l t.N de r p e ty moted to an important station in th e Customs because he was related to active election eer i ng agents in the county Tipperary. We wi s h we h i d anything like so full and candid an explanati on o f t h e reasons s w a h r y v,7 N o lr r . sh ß ip lia o Ci f KENT sa l- wse y Forts. e tell is that "he had known him previously. He had employed him on some private business; intuiting up some exeoutorship accounts." The man was clerk to an attorney in the city. "He had never had the management of timber in his life, he knew nothing whatever about it that Mr. MILNE was aware of. KENT'S appearance and manner were so bid, that a respectable person deposes that, on first s i n ht, h e " re. fused to associate with him," judging that "he wu too bad a man for any one to know anything about" Yet this was the man specially selected, far reasons altogether unexplained, for a post of great trust and responsibility under the Crown ; a post which elevated him from the position of en attorney's clerk to be "a moo of standing" in the county of Northampton; post which gave him the command, as if he were the sole proprietor, of an important district, an influence in county elections, and the power of misep?ro. priating the public property. Whet shall we say of the system which threw such authority into the hands of such a men : what shall we lay of the public officer, who, despite his evasiors, evidectly had the principal hand in his promotion ? The ignorance of the Commissioners of Woad. and Forests even of the facts which most nearly concern them is established by this cote in a manner most complete. KENT'S depredations in Salcey were car ried on for five years. The commissioners during the whole time never had the most remote notion hat that he was acting honorably and conscientiously. He VMS openly engaged in felling the cn:ire foreet: but for five years the commissioners were not aware that he had lopped off a single branch. At length anciror in one of his accounts brings an officer to the spot. This officer had eyes, and could use them, but even he was not aware that there had been any. thing irregular. Probably if KENT had put a bald face on the matter he would have concealed his robberies still longer. Hut he was frightened, and absconded. Even then it took some time to awaken the suspicions of the Woods and Forests. It wu only " in the cour-e of the investigation" that "cit. cumatances came to light of a character a hich left the board too much re aeon to apprehend that there was a considerable deficiency in Mr. KENT'S accounts beyond what he had stated." The inveetigatioa which followed first of all elicited that there was a deficiency of 3,Bool.—then an amended re port was made fixing the amount at 4,lo4:l.—afterwards "other misapplications" were detected, and the total was reported at 4.8001. Mr. MILNE now says that the deficiency was "from 4,0001. to 5,0001." The fact was, and is, that neither the Woods and Forests, nor their officers, nor any body else, ever knew the extent to which RING KENT plundered the public. It was impose//e that they could know it, for they had not the slighted idea of the nature or value of the property committed to his charge. The only means they had of ascer taining any thing definite concerning the loss was from the books of an auctioneer who was employed by KENT to sell timber, and whom the commissioners describe to be h mself guilty " either of the grossest negligence or of direct criminality." This extraordinary case, moreover, dlecloses not merely a loose and improper system of keeping ac counts in the office of Woods and Forests, but far more—an absolute falsification of the financial state meets annually made to parliament and to the pub lic. In session 1848 Mr. Commissioner MILNE was examined before Lord DUNCAN'S committee relative to the affairs of Whittlewood and Salcey. Tners was some discrepancy in the accounts which Lord DON CAN could not understand, and he wanted to elicit the truth. His Lordship enquired Use there been a surplus of revenue every veer ?—No. In what year was there • dc [lei. ne I—There w.,Cha cieney in 1832 of 4081 ; in 1835 of 441.'; in 1841 of 1711.; is 1842 of 88/. ; in 1843 of 611. (pane 45.) Not a word, be it remarked, about the defacer tion. Q. I added up the figures for Whittlennod and Balm Forests, as stated in the annual report of 1827. The amain of the income wu 10,6311. fur the two forests, and the amount of the expenditure was 3,0341. In this account that I have Aare fur the year 1927 the income is stated at 10,6111. and the expenditure at 3,6671.. so that there is a difference between the two arcuun•s et 6971. ? A. I can"ot account for that without lookirg into it; bat I have no doubt that the cause of difference can be explained by looking into the ace unto. How tar it con be "explaired" we do not know but "looking into the account" referred to by Lord; DUNCAN, we find that is every single instance cued by Mr. IkIILNE he misstated to the committee the actual deficiency.

Lord DUNCAN says : I hold in my hand a document which was laid before the• committee last year. Tarn appears an important shunts panty in the year 1831 between this document and eas document In the Appendix. In this document the inr-aat of 1834 is stated at 7,1941., at.d the expenditure at 7,5491. la the return in the Appendix the inoom: for 1834 is stated at 2,8421., and the expenditure at 2,8374 Can 70 . 4 exp.sil the difference Answer—There is no doubt that could be %explained ay the gentleman who prepare) the returns. I cc 01910 t explain it Further. On asking him why the d•rie . i eney war not inserted, he said it was inserted on both side , , of the account, and that it made no differencw. This is Mr. Commissioner MILNE's reply. In com mon English it means "before the investigation reached a certain point we though',to bamboozle you. When we found that impos.ible ,we thought it safer to make a different return." I'. will be seen that the difference between the two et exounts is the estimated amount of KINO KENT'S def a ication. To keep that affair secret, the accounts de livered to the committee were " cooked." When detection became imminent, the board made the alteration. The climax of this diegrac fal exposure, which more or less scandalises every one connected with the Woods and Forests,, is the defeat of public justice, which, like the ore' ming of the accounts, was evidently neatly manned f .or the oi. ce purpos m. Nothing was SO necessary for the public good as a complete state men!, before 14 judicial tribunal, of all the facts con certing Mr. KENT. But that exposure would have been too els.maging to the department. The matter was oonv.quently bushed up. KENT was allowed to plead 1 * guilty" Not a word of the evidence ever escaped in court. The affair was smothered in the same way as the facts connected with the Exchequer Bill forgeries were bushed IT some eight years since. The Exchequer bill business, it is true, obtained more currency than the Balmy Forest robbery. That was kept so secret that, until the facts were exposed in our paper yesterday, probably not fifty people in all England were aware of them. They will teach sn instructive lesson to the people ; they will enforce the necessity of keeping a close eye on official men, and of insisting on a strict audit of every departmental account. CUBA.—On the 25th August the American frigate Raretan, 60 gnus, and Albany, corvette, 22 guns, were close off the harbour of Havatinah, and, after communicating by boats with the American coned, stood to see. Their appearance did not tend to ler men the apprehension some time entertained at lir vannah. Vera Cruz and Tampico are also kept on the qui eke by the force assembled in the United States. The strong fort of St. Juan d'Ullos , a fe w nights before the arrival of the Trent, opened a tire on two logs or drifts, which they mistook for boats from an enemy's fleet. •:
