So the employers had recourse end either pass • Mid Worm or vanish from the Boom Is the sight of liberalism, these prospects, thus heralded , to the public purse, and imported coolies and other cannot be very encouraging. virtual slaves at the expense of the commun and of the negroes among others. While there were tens of thousands more labourers in the island than the existing estates could employ, the House of Assembly, eight years ago, did some remarkable work. It went on decreeing payment for the immigration of superfluous labour, to spare the purses of the em ployers ; and, at the same time, it strove to stifle the industry of the negroes whom the planters would not employ. The Society of Arts had ex posed the costliness of the immigration scheme, on which 276,000 L had been spent in ten years ; and it had exerted itself to direct the industry of the people into new channels. For this good act the House stopped the annual grant to the So ciety of Arta, on the ground that it encouraged labour otherwise than exclusively on the planta tions. Such has been the course of this unhappy colony, in which, as a contemporary enures us, the negroes are on a perfect equality with the whites, legally, politically, and economically. The assertion is abundantly audacious in regard to the time we have been speaking of—eight and seven years ago ; but it is far more shamelessly false in its application to the preeent time. During the seven years' interval, everything has been going to ruin, through the folly and wickedness of the class of colonists who, having no power of prosper ing themselves, are bent on ruining everybody else. They have refused to employ their neigh bours, have taxed them to pay for imported labourers, and have stopped up every path of in dustry that they could control. They have be moaned their own needless adversity till they have caused the capitalists of the world to turn away from the colony as a field for investment. They have taxed the franchise itself, so as to keep the coloured race out of the political pale as far as they could ; and they have taken advantage of this exclusion to aggravate the burden of taxation on the unresisting people. When called to ac count for their oppression of their fellow subjects, they became frantic with fear, and with the hate which the oppressor feels towards the injured. When a riot at last grew out of their long course of cruelty, they lost the little sobriety of mind they ever had, and committed, or stimulated and applauded, wholesale murder and torture. Such is the form taken by the pro-slavery spirit in its later (let as hope its last) manifestations ; and the beat use • -..tr to be made of the phenomenon is to see and to proclaim that such a crime as slavery leaves a long train of sin and sorrow, and calls for a strenuous emancipating virtue for at least one generation after the apparent extinction of the crime. We who put an end to slavery have left the negroes too much and too long in the power of their oppressors, and we must now expose every attempt to throw the blame on the nature of the wronged party, and put the government of whites and blacks into the impartial hands of adminis trators who see in all the inhabitants of Jamaica fellow claimants of English rights, and fellow sub - Jetta under the English Crown. they I OUR CONTEMPORARIES• (THIS DAY.) The Post think, that although it may be logically dr ducible from the facts of history that there • fraction of the Irish people whom nothing can reclaim from an innate prepeasity to mischief and rebellion, still recent events equally show that this minority is growing moan and smaller, and its apologies for rebellion feebler and feebler at every fresh attempt. Peniasiam declares war not merely agaiest the Saxon, but against Ireland itself ; not merely against prolestantism, but against all churches whatever. Let us hope that this, the feeblest effort of the malcontents, will also be the last. The Star regards as the one oily satisfectuy feature bathe whole miserable bunkum' of the recent trial.; the fact the un fortunate prisoners in Dublin have relieved themselves of the odious suspicion of having meditated mamas. Indeed, there seems to have been something cruel in the heedlessness with which the crown oSlcials pressed to the last the charge of • conspiracy to massacre. The judges and the jury accepted the explanation. Judge Keogh declared for himself and his brother judge that they regarded the charge of intended manure as withdrawn ' • and the jury dated that they had not thought it worth taking into their coosiders tion at all. Suppose Laby and hie fellow-oonspirators had been tried by Governor Eyre and his aonrt-martials, who can doubt that the WWII) letter which one of them so foolishly retained would have doomed them to instant death, and would have branded them in the grave as the organisers of • wholseale massacre Meanwhile there must be something still wrong In the political govemmest of a eountry which is always scandalising Europe by re iteration of rebellion. Perhaps with the suppression Of the Fontana there will come a short puce and breathing space. Suppose we try to make a little use of it, so as if possible to cut off the sustenance from the nest crop of re bellion. MISCILIALIMOUB TOPICS. The Tinus sake if it might not be possible, by laying down • few simple rules, upon complying with which a railway should be permitted to be made, to sweep away almost the whole of the vast litigation and expeoditure which are now necessary, and to deliver parliamest from • labour which it will not much longer be able to support. These heavy parliamentary expenses intended to restrain railway enterprise within mode. rate limits, have, by creating • pecuniary inducement to those whose income is made by removing them, the effect of giving it an unnatural stimulus. The very fact that a proposed line was subjected to a competition in the way of which no preliminary obstacles wee any longer placed, would make men cautious before they embarked in an enterprise which would then be just as liable to cam. petition as any other, with the peculiar disadvantage that it is hardly possible to wind up an unsuccessful w orko of the kind without total loss. A g reat part of eo of private bill committees is to get up cases for the Stock Exchange, and its approval forms a perfectly appreciable item in the value of shares. This is another way io which parliament indirectly stimulates the creation of new rail. ANIRICA. The simple but hearty acknowledgments by Mr. Seward of the sympathy of England with the American people on the loss sustained by them in the assassination of Mr. Lincoln, afford the Tina an opening for a few words on the prevalent feeling of this country towards the United States. After observing that just previously to his death, Abraham Lincoln , by t he progress of either 1 amendment or truth, had righted himself in English esteem, and stood u well in our regards as any foreign potentate could ever hope to stand, and after alluding to the modesty with which Mr. Seward passes over the living martyrdom which be had himself to endure for several months, and which, though adding to his country's calamity, brought no symptom of failure in the operation of the institutions of the republic,—the Times proceeds to observe that the reason we have found it difficult to appreciate the Americans en we really wish to do, is because of a dread of the indefinite enlargement of the United States by unfair means —means which American moralists vainly denounce. We have not the least objection to the United States increasing to any extent, and annexing any amount of ter ritory or number of states, so long as it is all done honestly, above board, and by fair appeals to the sym pathy and good muse of the people. If the population of either of our own provinces or of Metro freely and spon taneously declared that they thought this their best chance of peace and prosperity, the British people would only feel the most paring regret at the loss of a name, and the pro portionate aggrandisement of the United States ; but the case is altered if the object is to be obtained by fraud, by way companies. Sketching the difficulties of Austria, with Hringary sullen even amid the concessions made to it, Venetia ready for revolt at any fitting moment, and the provinces which most readily supported the throne of late years angry at the overthrow of constitutional rights solemnly conferred and now recklessly retracted,—the Times observes that Huspry desiring self-government, and the Emperor escalating betweeen absolute power and centralised oonsti tutiocalism, we mast expect new political conflicts be tween ruler and people. The Spanish government, the Daily News says, is making en experiment on the patience of mankind. It has set itself against the opinion of the whole world. By the most frivolous of pretexts it has kindled a war the extent and consequences of which no one can formes, and half ruined a State the prosperity of which, the result of good government, rebuked its own mismanagement and hoot. money. The conduct of the Spanish government in bringing on this war has been reprobated wherever intelligent and honest men meet. U this insane passion of military dice. play is persisted in, retribution must follow, either in the form of domestic revolution, or war with some great Power, , or the loss of foreign triode, with the enormous depreciation of property at home. The Post expresses concern at the elate of health of King Leopold, whom it describes as the mainspring of the system of government be ban consolidated. The Telegraph, dwelling on the late visit of M. Bismarck to Francs, remarks than if the statesmen of Vienna are wise enough to read the signs of the times, nothing can more unmistakeably declare to them the absolute necessity of reorganising the monarchy, than the fact that the world is asking eagerly whether the coo Lion held by a Prussian minister with a French sovereign was or was not unfavour able to the great East German Empire. Treating of the Biogley Hall show, the Tdegraph declares that at each succeeding exhibition undue advantages are sought in dishonest practices. The black feathers of pigeons are plucked, the white hairs of Berkshire pigs are drawn, much to the disfigurement and suffering of the animals. Some swine are painted ; others are exhibited as ender six mouths of age, when they are seven or eight ; sheep are trimmed ; and sometimes —especially amongst the canny Scots—fine horns and tails are of artificial growth. All snob expedients throw discredit on the British farmer. and the public will be gratified to see the efforts which , the Birmingham Council is making to punish the trans gressors. Dr. Underhill's pamphlet, noticed in yesterday's Express, is the subject of an article in the Star, which maiotaios that in view of the reasonable and moderate advice which his letter °Detained. and taking into account the corrobora tive statistics which have been poured in from all quarters of the unhappy island, Dr. Underhill may safely place himself at the bar of even the least favourable public opinion, and await a triumphant acquittal. i It TUE EXPRESS, TUESDAY . . w hen th e y tory . programme of aspirations, if they !haul& r• i ii o — IF:tltSEßVlCZS.u.—Dtwuring the storms like • and they went home again NATIONAL LIM could P no t ; obtain decent lodging.

IT was by no means an exceptional circumstance, before emancipation, for the Jamaica planters to complain to Parliament of loss and ruin. In 1792, a committee of the Assembly reported as follows on the sugar interest :—" In the course of twenty "years 177 estates in Jamaica have been sold for " the payment of debts ; 55 have been thrown up, " and 92 are still in the hands of creditors ; and it "appears, from a return made to the Provost " Marshal, that 80,121 executions, amounting to " 22,563,786/. sterling, have been lodged in his " office in the course of twenty years." In 1808 the House of Commons ordered the printing of a statement containing this declaration : "The " sugar estates lately brought to sale, and now in " the Court of Chancery in this inland (Jamaica), " and in England, amount to about one " fourth of the whole number of the colony." At the time of emancipation the plantation land of the island was mortgaged far beyond its total value, though the planters had received, in the form of bounty alone, upwards of 1,000,0001. per annum. Such was the state of things before com plaints could arise of deficiency of labour, high wages, and paucity of capital. Such was the pos ture of affairs when the experiment of free labour had to be tried. The very first thing the planters did was to drive away the labouring class from the centres of industry. We all remember their Vagrant Law (which the State of Mississippi seems to be now trying to copy)—that law which was framed to entrap every man and woman who made any use of the freedom conferred by emancipation, and which subjected the victims to such cruel punish ment that they naturally strove to go beyond its reach. We all remember the tyranny and exactions inflicted under the name of de mands of rent, which also tended to banish the people to some district where the, could house themselves and pay no rent. We all remember how, when they obtained land and became producers, a system of taxation was brought to bear on them which was oppressive be yond example—lessening the profits of their sales and enhancing the cost of their purchases, so that it was hoped that they would be driven back to work on the plantations on their former masters' terms. By their own industry, however, the people struggled on, and even prospered on their own holdings. They supplied themselves with sugar, and exported coffee, pimento, and arrow root ; they built chapels, and supported schools, and bought horses and mules, and dressed hand somely, and furnished their houses well, and sup ported many of the degraded of their own race, who really were such "lazy negroes" as we hear so much of. Then arose the planters' cry of the scarcity of labour, by which their estates were going to ruin. They were asked how labour could be scarce while the coloured population was larger than ever ; and their answer was that the people demanded wages ruinous to employers. It was at length re marked by • sagacious American observer who in quired into the matter on the spot that it was • singular illustration of English credulity that this aasurance was accepted without any inquiry what ever as to what planters understand by high wages. He made it all out, and published the result. The wages paid were from 9d. to Is. • day to able bodied labourers, and from 6d. to 9d. to old men and boys—the labourers having to board them selves. In crop time, • men might earn 2s. ; but, on the other hand, he was employed only at in tervals ; and he was wanted exactly at times when his own field or garden wanted him. Yet, so desirous were the people to work on the planta tions, and to bring up their children to do so, that they would have worked for ls. a day, at much sacrifice, but for other difficulties. Of those difficulties we have a pretty full dis closure in the returns supplied to the Committee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, who sent out commissioners to take evidence on every band as to the actual state of the island and its industry. Those returns are of great interest now, consisting, as they do, of declarations of planters, agents, clergy, and others well acquainted with the interests involved on every hand. From these the fact stands out clearly enough that the main discouragement to labour on the plantations was that the people could not get paid. In case of any loud complaint of the "hands " refusing to work, the explanation usually was that they had not received • shilling for • month—for seven weeks—for a quarter or half • year. Another evil—and an insuperable one to the better sort of negroes--was the bad accommodation afforded.

The weather was very unfavourable early in the day, but improved as the hours wore on. The inhabitants of Den ham were from an early period of the morning actively engaged in mairicg preparations for the reception of their royal visitors, of whom they appeared determined—Dere ham having been favoured Wore with the presence of royalty—to make the most. Three triumphal arches were erected—ODe aa the Norwich road, another near the entrance to the Bfarket-place, and the other at the other end of the market. The principal tradesmen of the town also made loyal dernonstratioes In the way of flags, dra pery, and other decorations. The visit of the Prince and Princess to Gunton is strictly of • private character, and there will be no public demonstration of say kind in an °action with it. This evening, however, • hall takes place, to which a number of the loyal elite have been invited. The Prince will also shoot each day in the well stocked coverts of the estate.

In the House of Nobles to-day the debate com menced on the government bill for the reform of the constitution. Thirteen mmbers spoke in favour of and eight against the bill e . The discussion was subsequently adjourned until to-morrow. At the conclusion of to-day's debate there were still 30 members on the list who had claimed the right of speaking. In the Chamber of the Clergy it was resolved to postpone the debate on the bill until a resolution had been taken by the House of Nobles. The reform of the constitution was adopted in the Chamber of Peasants by acclamation, and in the Chamber of Citizen s b y 60 against 5 votes. The streets are crowded by the populace, and some arrests have been made. THE SUPPLY OP COTTON. The following address to cotton growers has been i s sued by the Cotton Supply As s ociation, Man- cheater : " At the close of the American wars general expectation prevailed that large quantities of cotton would at once be obtained from the Southern States, which, together with the fall in price that then took place, was calculated to check production in other countries. These anticipated supplies have not been received , sad, as regards the future it appears cer tain that for years to oome, owing to the altered condition of the United States, the abolition of slavery, and the adoption of free labour, there will be lees cotton grown there than formerly, and much leas than will be required. The increased ooneumptlen in Americo may be expected must diminish the exports from that country, l arge r demands than at present whilst still both in England sod on the Continent.

REFUSAL OF EUROPEAN MEDIATION, MADRID, Die. 2. The semi-official Correspondeneia de Espana con. tains the following : To the periodicals who ask if the government is disposed to accept European mediation in Chili we are enabled to reply that the government will not accept mediation. All that we believe the government is inclined tenant are the good offices which friendly powers have offered, in order that, without in any way injuring the dignity of our nation, means may be found to avoid a rupture which Spain has not sought, and cannot desire in her own interest or the plead interacts of Europe. According to the Epoca, Spain could in a few months assemble 25 vessels in the Pacific, almost all new and powerful, and with picked crews. This fleet would include three iron-clad and six screw frigates, independent of the squadron now stationed in the Chiliaa waters. The decision of the Central Madrid Committee in favour of continued abstention has been gene rally obeyed by the Progreesist Committees through out the country, even including those in Catalonia, which had hitherto manifested great opposition to this policy. The &forma draws attention to the persistent rumours lately current upon the Madrid Exchange of the approaching retirement of Senor Alonso Martinez, Minister of Finance, from the Cabinet. The Reforrna considers these rumours to be well founded, and has reason to believe that the resigns ' tion of Senor Martinez will take place as soon as 1 I the elections to the Cortes are terminated.
