Extraordinary preparations have been making these few weeks past by the Earl of Wilton, to conduct the Races at Heaton Park with more than usual eclat. The Course has been altered, and is now in excellent order, except that the turf Is rather soft from the recent heavy rain. A great number of distinguished individuals have been invited, and many of them have already arrived ; but great disappointment is felt by many people at the announcement that there is no truth in the report that the Doke of Wellington intended to honour the Races with his presence. Yesterday was the last day of giving out tickets of admission to thePark,and the crowd was races sive ;indeed thousands will be excluded from a sight of the Races,from the impossibility of obtaining tickets. The sport is expected to be excellent; between twenty and thirty horses are at the Park and the neighbourhood, and many of them of great racing celebrity. There will be two Gold Cups run for ; the Heaton Park Cup, and the one given by Mr. Deane, of the Bush Inn, in this town (Man chester), who has the exclusive privilege of furnishing refreshments to the visitors. For the Heaton Park Cup, Mr. White's Euxton (which won the Cup last year) is entered, and divides the palm of favouritism with Lord Wilton's mare Arachne—the betting being about even between them. As the entry for the Cups and various stakes was only made yesterday evening, we are not able to quote further betting.—Moncheater Mercury. EXTRAORDINARY SPORTING. On Tuesday last Sir A. Chichester's hounds met at Dulver ton to run a stag. It was at first intended to try Haddon's Covers; but on intelligence of a good stag at Hawkbridge, this was abandoned. The pack was then moved to Hynam, and two couple of tufters taken to the potatoe garden in which the deer was supposed to bare fed. On reaching the wood close by, they soon acknowledged the scent, and carrying It to the Duns brook, bit him across, and presently roused him in White-rocks. At first he took the top of the cover, but soon turned down, cross ing the Dunsbrook and the river Barle into Mounsey Castle. Here the pack were laid on, when they immediately found a fresh stag, which beat the covers so 94 completely to disturb them. The consequence was, the division of the puck into four parts, each having a deer : a fine hind, with one portion, took the moor, but was so hard pressed, after a few miles gallop, as to be obliged to give it up, and make for the river, which she reached ju.t under Withypoole, and was run into about a mile below that village. Sir Arthur was with this part of the pack, and at first ordered aloe should be preserved tan account of her calf ; but, a. she proved a barmier, and not expect ing my other death, and deer so plenty, she was killed. On reach ing Dulverton it was discovered' that a brace of stags had also un fortunately fallen victims, one of them the fattest killed for the last sixteen year.. It was imrossible to prevent the destruction, the hounds having severely wounded them. To the true sportsman this was any thing but a good day's spurt; but the pedestrians, who always muster strong in this part of the hunting-district, were never so highly gratified.— Western Luminary. l' h ort th avr r r that e,et 1 ' l• p erfects" teal 4 estategigoith p e ritoist this • 1 adstye our sai I 1 this our prese will answere CULTURE of SUGAR by FREE LABOUR. FROM THE ANTI-SLAV ERY REPORTER, SEPT. 1829. We are anxious to advert to a topic, on which the Colonial pamphleteers and journalists have laboured bud during the last month, to work on the public mind. We allude to the culture of sugar by free labour. A writer of the name of Sanersaunv has stept forward among the rest, and repeated the exploded fallacies of the late Mr. M , as well as those of Mr. IMACQUIOI, on the subject of the sugar imported hither from the East Indies. which they hardily affirm to be the produce of slave labour, and not the produce of free labour. Our readers of the present day are, perhaps, not aware, that this controversy was conclusively settled in 1823. The late Mr. M then employed his able pen In endeavouring to establish this point; and the present race of writers have, in fact, done little more, with far less of talent and acuteness. to produce again his refuted arguments, and to fortify them with his disproved statements. The refutation and disproof may both be found in a pamplet entitled, •' A letter to W. W. Wnerstoax, Esq. M.P." This pamplet was deemed decisive at the time. The facts of the case are precisely the same now as they were then, and the Letter to Mr. WHlT mons is just as complete a reply to Mr. Santessese's positions as it was to those of Mr. M . It will there be seen that, not only is there no instance in which the husbandry of the Bengal pro vinces, from which alone we derive our sugar, is conducted by slaves ; but we have it pointed out to us clearly, and in every in stance, by whom the labour is performed, namely, by the family of the Rot or farmer, and by labourers hired by him as they are wanted, and whose rates of wages are distinctly given in the official documents on the subject. The whole effect on the public mind produced by Mr. SAINTS soar and others, proceeds from their wilful and deliberate misre presentation of the documents to which they refer. They quote, as applicable to Bengal, passages which have a reference only to the Malabar coast ! The existence of slavery, for instance, in some recently-ceded district on the Malabar side of India, is made to prove that sugar is cultivated by slaves in Bengal. The volumnious collection of documents, printed by the East India Company in 1823, furnishes the most decisive and irrefragable proofs—(every page is full of them)—that the whole of the agriculture of the Bengal provinces is conducted by free labour. On this fact there can be no controversy with an honest reader of these documents. But, in order to overthrow this mass of testimony, what do such writers as Mr. SAINTSRITAT do ? They resort to statements which refer to quite another part of the world, and apply them to Ben gal ; and they hope to evade detection, because Malabar and Ben gal are both in Asia or in India. They might with equal conclu siveness prove that corn is grown in Great Britain by slave labour, because there happen to be slaves in Russia. The only sugar, how ever, however, which we receive front India comes from Bengal. Malabar imports sugar from abroad for its own consumption. The proof of all this may be seen in the pamphlet to which we have re ferred, and which points in every case to the page of the authentic work which it cites. There is also another pamphlet, published in 1824, which is equally conclusive on this point as the letter to Mr. WHITMOAL It is entitled, East India Sugar, or an Inquiry re specting the means of improving the quality and reducing the cost of sugar raised by free labour in the East Indies." But if there were no such pamphlets in existence, the statements of Sir Enwaan Heim Easy and Mr. Hume in the House of Com mons on the Ist of Alarch, 1826, would of themselves be sufficient to refute every syllable published by Mr. SAINTSAURY, or a thou sand such writers. Sir E. H. EAST is a large Jamaica proprietor, who had filled for years the situation of Chief Justice in Bengal.— He denied, in the most explicit terms, that slavery was recognized by law as a condition of society in Bet.gal ; and Mr. Huns added, that he had been much in Bengal, and from what he knew of so ciety there, he would undertake confidently to say, that there were no agricultural slaves there. Let a single extract more on this subject suffice for the present. It is taken front the letter to Mr. Witintonz already referred to. The letter writer quotes the testimony of the Bengal Board of Trade, of the 7th of August, 1792, to the following effect, as contained in the first Appendix to the East India Company's great volume, printed in 1823, pp. 51 to 60. " In this country (Bengal) the cultivator is either the immediate proprietor of the ground, or he hires it, as in Europe, of the proprietor, and uses his disuetion in cultivating what he thinks best adapted to the nature of the soil or the demand of the market. One field produces sugar, the next wheat, rice, or cotton. The husbandman is nourished and clothed from his own ground ; or, if he thinks it more his interest to sell the whole of his own produce, supplies himself and family with the necessaries of life from his neighbours on the next public market:' Contrasting their state with that of slaves in the West Indies, it is added, "The Bengal peasantry are freemen." " The Bengal peasant is actuated by the ordinary wants and desires of mankind. His family assist his labour and soothe his toil, and the sharp eye of personal interest guides his judgment." This statement is followed by a great variety of Reports from the presidents and collectors in the different pro vinces of Bengal, and extending through more than two hun dred closely printed folio pages. The existence of slavery as a condition of society in Bengal is not once alluded to in any one of these Reporte, although they give us a variety of minute and detailed calculations of the cost of raising sugar. In short, there is no more allusion to slave labour, as forming a constituent part of the charge of cultivating sugar, than there would be to slave labour in an estimate of the cost of grow ing corn in the county of York. Slaves are never mentioned ; and the only substitute for hired labour ever hinted at, is the labour of the farmer's household. But we may spare ourselves the trouble of confuting the elabo rate mistatements of our adversaries on this question. The con troversy is fast tending to its termination. The march of events will scarcely leave room much longer, either for misrepresentation or misapprehension. The facilities already given in Bengal, by Lord W. Butemce, to the investment of British capital and the development of British skill in the cultivation of the soil ; the almost certainty that those fiscal regulations which have hitherto depressed the growth of sugar in Bengal, and prevented the large increase of its imports into this country, will soon be repealed ; the prospect of an early removal of the other restrictions which still fetter the commerce of our Eastern possessions ; the rapidly increasing population and prosperity of Hayti; the official state ments of Mr. WALD, as to the profitable culture of sugar by free labour In Mexico; and the rapid extension of the manufacture of beet root sugar in France ; a prelude, as we conceive, to its intro duction into this country, and especially into Ireland—all these circumstances combined, afford a promise which can scarcely fail of seeing a death-blow inflicted on the culture of sugar by slave labour, which all the misrepresentations of all the slave-holders in the world, with all their clamorous partizans in this country, can not avert, or even long retard. EXECUTION OF DAVID EVANS. CARMARTHEN, MONDAY, Sm. 21 At ten o'clock this morning the wretched culprit David Evans, convicted of the wilful murder of Hannah Davies on the night of Saturday, the 13th day of June last, on Pencarreg moun tain, in this county, was brought out on the top of the county gaol where the scaffold was erected, to undergo the awful penalty of the law according to his sentence. The unfrequency of crimes of this atrocious description jp the Principality may account for the agitated interest created by tbis approaching catastrophe. Before the hour of seven this morning an immense concourse of people, horsemen and pedestrians, were ken approaching the town from all parts of the country to witrieu the execution ; and when added to almo-t the whole population of the town, already waiting in front of the gaol, the crowd presented an enormous mass seldom witnessed at a single glance. When the unhappy man at length appeared. pinioned and prepared far the last scene of his earthly career, although nothing remarkable was visible in his demeanour, the shock evinced among the populace was affecting in the extreme, many of the temales sobbing aloud, while others shrieked in hysterics. The prisoner himself showed unusual firmneu, and without much pausing dropped the handkerchief, the fatal signal to launch him Into eternity, when the stand beneath his feet was withdrawn, and, horrid to relate, the iron chain attached to the gallows,tbrough which the rope was reeved, gave way, and in an instant down dropped this unhappy being, and alighted on his feet, from which he fell for an instant, but, without any assistance, rose again. It seems he was no stranger to that vulgar error proverbial among the lower classes, that when the rope breaks a reprieve or pardon is the convict's due by immemorial custom. Accordingly, when he gained his feet a second time, he demanded his life, saying, " he had been hanged once, and they had no more to do with him."— Here it became the melancholy duty of those about him to con vince him to the contrary ; but it was with much difficulty be was brought up a second time. When every thing for the purpose was now carefully adjusted, he dropped the handkerchief once more, and the world closed on him for ever. In adverting to the accident above described, which prolonged the already intense sufferings of this wretched being, and harrowed every human heart in the unusually large throng, we cannot too severely censure the carelessness of the county carpenter, whose neglect alone was the cause of it. The following minutia of attendant occurrences may be added : The prisoner was attended by the Rev. Mr. Jones, the Chaplain of the prison, and the Under Sheriff, L. 0. Lewis, Esq, to whom he expressed his unfeigned thanks for his humane attentions. A thorough confession of his crime, without the slightest reservation, adds highly to the weight of the atonement he has made. When divested of his irons and pinioned, he prayed with the utmost fer vency, walked steadily to the fatal beam, firmly underwent the ceremony of adjusting the rope, and asked for the loan of a band kerchief to give the fi nal signal. After hanging the usual time, the I body was cut down and given to the surgeons for dissection. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A Spaniard of peculiarly ferocious appearance, who had been in military service, was brought before the LORD MAvoa, charged with having beaten a body of watchmen in their sanctum sancto. rum, after having broken windows and knocked down those who questioned his right to disturb public tranquillity. A shopkeeper stated that the defendant, either under the influ ence of drink or some other powerful excitement, moved along the streets like the common enemy of mankind. If any person happened to stand in his way, the obstruction was speedily re moved into the kennel by the vigorous arm of the Spaniard, who at length took offal= at one of the waxen heads which stood in a , hair-dresser's window, with sundry beautiful curls about it— "Ah !" said be, I will kill dat head," and without more hesi tation, he dashed his hand through the glass, and tumbled the bead on the ground, to the woeful dilapidation of the features. This adventure gathered a crowd of blackguards round the Spaniard, who seemed bent upon distinguishing himself still more. The po lice at last got hold of him, tied his arms together, as if preparing him for execution, and endeavoured to place him in a coach. It appeared, however, that he was as active about the legs as about the arms, for, taking a steady aim at a watchman who held him , by one leg, he gave him such a kick with the other as laid hint nat. At length he was shoved into a dustman's cart, and taken to tie watch-house. The constable of the night said, that in all his experience he newer met with such an obstropulous man as this here Spaniard. " I'm blessed, my Lard Mayor," said this type of Civic Ma jesty," if ever I seed so wiolent a hindividual. Why, be made nothing on us, and he thought no more of me nor if I was a com mon fellow in the streets. The Loom Marcia—Describe his conduct in the watchhouse. The constable, delighted at the opportunity of a display, gave the fillourfag account of the Spaniard, to the great amusement of alt bidet Justice-room :—" Vy, my Lord, you see I was sitting in Any chair and giving borders to the men, yen there was a row and a scrummage at the door, and in walks this here foreign Gentleman. Indeed, I can't say he stalked, because he couldn't, for his legs and harms were tied together, and he vas all up in a lump ; so I speaks kind to him, and I orders him to he unloosed ; but the minute he vas at liberty, my eyes, if he didn't turn upon the men, and I'm blessed if be didn't let fly in bang among 'em till be floored all—(Roars of laughter). So, my Lord, says Ito him, come, come, rays I, this here's unproper be haviour for a gentleman; vot ! says he, and he says no more, but just as I was viping my spectacles, he catches me with such a yap per right under the ear, that I couldn't keep my body op, by no means, and so down I falls—(Shouts of laughter). So, my Lord, yen he had us aU floored, he runs to the door, for I suppose he vaned to go out, but there ye had him, for he couldn't find no key, and so ye gets up, and ye bundles hint into the black hole ; and so ye brought him afore your Lordship for to punish him according to law—(Great laughter). The constable, while making this effusion, suited the action to the word so happily, that the effect of the narrative was inde scribable. The LORD Mayon said the case was altogether one of the strangest be ever heard. He asked the defendant what he had to say in his defence? The Defendant—lt is all a— lie ; I no strike no vatch, but the vatch strike me, and want kill me. Constable—No such thing, my Lord ; we never wishes to kill nobody, particularly a poor cretur of a foreigner—(Laughter).
