THE STATESMAN NEGROE PLOT'S IN THE WEST INDIES. /he following particulars respecting the conspiracy medi; prod among the negroes at the liavannah, ere extracted from t ooter written by • gentleman now resident at that place : IIaVANNAtI, September I, 1523.--More important disco 'odes hale been made with regard to the plot mentioned in my b o r. The three principal conspirators, knowing that the ma jority of the independent party would root con s e nt to their c amp in the assistance of the negroes, and aware, at the o ote time, that without it they could not succeed, had secretly wade term' with them. The negroes evil this. finding of how v isas censer:teem... they were, counterplotted, with the intention of rising in IS ti., ye after the declaration of the Independence, ari murderinu all the male whites without exception, whether of the Independents or Government party. Denutations were a ppointed to swear in all the negroes, particularly the Cute- Kas,Volantes or drivers of the •Volantes. and of whom families that ? have generally two or three reeldent in their louses. The white women. however, w ere to be spared. The seri ours to be sent away from the island, and the younger ems kept for wives. These double conspirators were to have been joined by 10,09nneen from St. Domingo, ready to embark, won reeettiox by express from the south of the island en account of the rising. The island was then to have been di vided between the negroes and mulatnes. Such is the outline o f this extraorauary counterplot. Much praise is due to the Governor for his conduct throughout this affair; and I trust eat, in my next, I may be able to tell you that tranquillity is restored; at present necessarily the public mind is men agitated.

THEATRICALS. .....ob. Mr. RATNER perfo►med Giles, in the Miller's Maid, for the first time at Covent Garden, last night. His merits in this character are so well known, from the frequency of its attracting full houses at the English Opera House, that it would be superfluous for us to enter into any detail of its excellencies. We need therefore only add, that the greater scope afforded by the stage, and the inspiration of a large audience, made it still more glowing in appearance, and more impressive in effect. it is an admirable delineation of the most complicated feelings of rustic life; and will continue to please as long as genuine nature is recognized upon the stage. Miss FooTE is a most interesting Phoebe. To say she does not equal Miss KELLY, is to say that she does not perform in the style of that admirable actress. She is quite equal to the part of the Millers Maid. THE ARMY. The first active suspicion of an intended insurrection among die negroes of Demarary, was founded. it is said, on informa tion given to a .lr. Simpson, by a faithful slave ; who, on the 18th of August, stated that the negroes in his neighbourhood bed been for some thee assembling in great numbers at night ; end that some incendiaries (among them whites) were promul gating news of King George and the Parliament having de creed a general manumission, which was only frustrated by the Governor, the local authorities, and the white inhabitants; that the negrova were nevertheless resolved on securing their freedom, and if no otherwise attainable, by arms; and finally, that they were to commence operations the same eight. Gen. Murray, the ti9Ternor, is described to have distrusted this Intelligence, so far as to have ventured with no other attendant than an Aid-de-temp, towards the east coast, where the wetineers were assembled, whence he was driven to the seat of Government by repeated shots. On the General's return, Inertial law was proclai lied, and on the Otii, military opera tions were resorted to, es detailed in our paper of yesterday. The third and last division of the 62d (or Wiltshire) IL-eitent of Foot arrived on the 9th instant at Portsmouth, on board the Cato transport, from Halifax. The head-quarters division of the above Regiment, which recently arrived from Halifax, on board the Loyal Briton transport, is expected to sail in a short time from Ports mouth for Dublin. We understand Lieut. General the Hon. Robert Meade, Colonel of the 90th Foot, will obtain the Colonelcy of the 12th Regiment, vice General Sir Charles Hastings, Bart., G.C.H., deceased. It is also said, that Major General R. Darling will succeed to the Colonacy of the 90th Regiment of Infantry vice Lieutenant General Meade, who obtains the 12th Foot. The 14th Light Dragoons, commanded by Major Mlles, marched into Dorchester barracks on Tuesday. GENERAL ORDER.

On the 17th tilt. ob d some people on St. Paul's Island in the entrance of the Gutt of St. Lawrence, and on sending a boat, found 25 poor creatures, among them several women and children who had beam three days on that Island without clothes or shelter, or other sustenance than the berries that grow on the place. Captain W. took them on board of his ship, and administered every assistance in his power. It appears that on the 14th the brig Monarch, of Aberdeen, Alexander Martin, master, bound to Quebec, ran against this Island, in a thick fog, and sunk in deep water, the boat was got out in time to save 25, but we lament to say that 6 passengers were drowned.—On the 17th fell in with the Sir , James Kemp, from Cork to Quebec, who received the 90 ship- wrecked penises on board to take them to their original desti nation. On the 21st the Loyalist from Quebec, bound to New— ' castle, took the Master, Mate, and • boy of the Monarch to convoy them home. COU•AOa AND HUMANITY.—The following is from an , eye-witness :—" About eight o'clock on Thursday morning the sloop Phemy, of Charleston, loaded with timber, was seen off Fraserbnrgh, making signals of distress; she anchored off the harbour, it blowing a heavy gsle of wind, with a tremendous sea, breaking at times over the Pier.— Through the meritorious exertions of Lieutenant C. H. Bowen, commander of the coast guard at this place, and being ably assisted by the people of the town, they got the life-boat launched, when Lieutenant Bowen jumped into her, and was soon followed by volunteers ; they pulled out fearlessly to the assistance of their fellow-creatures, and by great exertion got on heard the sloop, and made rope fast, when hundreds of the people on shore towed heel safe into the harbour. I conceive that the conduct of Lient. Bowen was mod noble and praiseworthy. - The sea was running mountains high. I woe an eye-witness to the whole transaction ; and if you feel as 1 do, such noble conduct cannot receive too snuck praise and publicity." PILCHARD FISH/MT.—During the past week, the seen fishery has not been very successful. On the night of Friday last, a great quantity of fish were perceived in Mount's• Bay, and three Beans shot, one of which had enclosed, as is supposed, from 300 to .100 hogsheads of fish, unfortu nately gave wuv, and the whole were lost; two others obtained :bout 311 hogsheads earl.. Since that time, no thing has been done, and it is feared the fish have passed oil the coast. The driving-boats, on Friday night, took in Mount's Bay from one hogahea I, to 14 hogsheads of fish each.—The driving boats bel••nsaing to Newlyn hut taken about 1000 hogshead, of fish this sesson.—At St. Ives, the driving hosts have been tolerably successful, brat no opportunity of using the scans occurred whit last week, when four fine shoals of fish were enclosed, making to gether about 1000 hogsheads of prime fish.—(Wert Bri ton.) On Tuesday forenoon, as the Highland Lad stean•bost, was leaving Dumbarton, the engineer found considerable difficulty in setting the machinery. which is on a new prin ciple, to work. At last, it wet to unexpectedly, and being off his guard, the engineer by some means became entan gled with it, and had his arm dreadfully lacerated, and the bones shattered. He was taken to Greenock, where the part of the limb wa• amputated, and he is recovering.

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS. This morning the General tinarter Ses.dons of the Peacecommenced before Ftwseis Comsr, Esq , and • full Bench of Magistrates. The usual routine of business was disposed of attendant upon this; being the adjourned day. TI a iligh Constable presented his report relative to the peace and good order of his district, which was highly satisfactory, and the reports relative to the state of the Bridewell, Sc., were also read, and the state of the prison. era, under the very able direction of Mr. Nodder, the respected Governor, and his officers, was also highly ap proved of. Some desultory conversation arose on the Bench respecting some alterations. The Court was occupied during the day, in trying appeals against the decisions of magistrates under the Acts for preventing nuisances, an,i regulating the cleanliaess of the Metropolis. To marrow the trial of traversed cases of assault will come on. The Bank Directors, it appears, have adopted a reser lotion to lend money on mortgages. Whether they have fixed a general rate of interest for these loans is not ascertained ; perhaps it varies according to the estimation of the borrower's credit and resources. As this is a new mode of employing money by the Bank, it i 4 supposed that the Directors will at first limit the capital devoted to this use. Coax MARKET.

More money is de manded for good samples of wheat, but very links business is doing. Barley remains as quoted on Monday. Beans and Puss are rather d . Oats obtain rather higher prices, in conse4uenee of there being but few on sale on hoard of ship. Saturday a woman, named IVORDLEY, living near Mer man-street, Commercial-road, cut her throat with a pair of scissars, and afterwards repeated the act with a rusty knife: but surgical advice being speedily procured, her recovery is not despaired of. On the preceding Monday she threw herself , into the Serpentine River, but then also her at tempt was frustrated.

Sir John on the 2d killed and bagged 63 brace of birds, and on the 6th 0384 brace. Mr. L. on the Ist day kilted and bagged 574, and 714 brace on the 2.1. Several gams keepers attended, but only one dog was al:owed to each of the parties. to beat for and pick up birds.

CANTY.RNURT, Oct. 11.—Our 3lichselinas fair has com menced, but under auspices not the most promising. The e ptinoctial gale of Satiirday morning upset many of the stalls, while others, more filially fixed, had only their sortout of canvas torn off and blown to a considerable distance. This annual mart of fun and frolic, which has so many years depended upon the support of the country folks, has considerably decreased since the " sudden tran sition ;" and the wages given to these engaged in artrical„ tnral pursuits, render it utterly impossible that they can afford to 'pander muck front the hard earnings of 9s. or 10s. a week.—The attractions, however, surpass these of any former year; and abundance of stalls roasting with the weight of merchandise and wares of every stalls; the eyes of the nailer at every turn. 'There is Jetteris' troop of tumblers exhibiting all the grimaces and Protean shapes the human form is stipple enough to Fear; and near this display of tinsel and distortion, is the "h ggeat infant in the world" accompanied with the clatter or s y whole, and the din of drums and trumpets sufficient to distract the brain; while others are inviting the Johns and their lasses to partake of good roast and boili-d beef, with " pod sting° at sd. per pot " and " coffee and col s at eight o'clock." And that tie votaries of 'ferias's:lp re may have ample room for their amusement, the propticor of the Crown and Anchor has considerably enlarged his booth, occupying a space of upwards of one hundred and sixty feet. The swinging boats and other dangerous machines are abundant; and all that is wanted 1, the materia, which we fear is deficient. The influx of con ntry people yesterday was not so great, as we have seen, but this may be owing to the unpropitious state of the weather. HOP INTELLIGENCI. CANTSRBUIIIi, ()CT.
