This ri.a meiliation is said in the private I letters to have been brought about by time nimittial sense of danger arising front the proceedings in England. The free people of colour in Parlmadoes had presented to the Honse of Assembly, by a Committee of their body, an Address 'replete with assurances of attachment to their native Weed, and to its institutions, and of their readiness to aisles in opposing, to the best of their abilities, any . in novation in the present form of the internal regulations which may be productive of consequences injurious to the interest of the colony.

For ober thirty years, the condition of the slaves has been made the soasal-mhjees of emetments by the British Parliament; sod every such proceeding has occasioned in the West I indite that diecriptioo of violence% which the Journals of London are no* treating both as novel, and as important. Th e Colo • trusetiosously acknoselaiga a very great I improve within these thirty )r.arb, is the monition of •• : s od -dolt :!•,. implore - ..eat has es tlaetan 1 K: Is as their own ehesacter, comforts. and ii.. , r — inns* recoiled that every measure from' which this arknowleihrest, m c liorstion of the N e g ro' r . oodition has promesied, nas violently oppose d at tite time by tite Colonists; aroLlitl nose evils of itaserrectino and massacre, which they not app ar to apprehend, have' for thirty years been almost siirmal.v foretold as the inevitable ccuseqnences of the 'atomises mihichexperienest has at length proved to have had th- most beseffehdr % results. .„ Whatever dihpntes may arise upon minor points of effeete fog negro emancipation, we must not forget this great oat: line of the question. The coloured population of the colonies exceed the white population as ten to one, and this majori• ty, inelnding the lighter shades of colour, comprises all eke activity, mach of the property, and more than hilt of that intelligence. and rven learninr, of the colonies. The q uestion then is, whether these ten should be restored to the rights of human beings, or whether they should he perpetually compelled to work under every species of ill usage and degradation, merely to fill the coffers, an I to support the usurped privileges of a sum* decimal of their own number. Whatever may be said 'upon the subject, the question must at last resolve itself to this; and it is a mockery of the human faculties to suppose that reason or feeling can decide that ten human beings with their children to perpetuity, are to be kept under the yoke of slavery,merely to pamper the indulge** and administer to the pride of a single individual, ,• ~ The abolitionists in Engl and have always founded.tisir measures upon the principle of not endangering them*, of the colonists, and this is all that the colonists can reason ably expert. . . The state of West India interests is truly deplorable. but to impute the niffietillies of the pl interim my degree to the agitation of the Slave Question in Parliament, ao• pellet to ut to he even ridiculous. The West India islands consist g Ily of inferior soils , and the lands are Of difficult irrigation ; it is therefore impowoble Must• their produce can compete in the market with the supplies of sugar and coffee from the Brazils and the East Indies. uot to mention the vast supplies that ere long may be or• petted from eke rich lands of South America. Our colonies are therefore almost valueless, and ere long they, most go out of coltivetitin. At present they exist only by the monopoly granted to them by time tan to the prejodico of East India sugars, and vet the West India reaulati as threaten •us with their efforts to attain intlepentlirst.. Were they independ nt,tbey would cease to exist instanter. They have no one boon to give in exchange for tun monopoly of any market in Europe, and C 9911 if reieved of t a te., th.y wools' be undersold iu every article ot l product by the American Continent. That the negro condition requires the further attention of the British Leaislature is evident, from the most recent' and hest informed works of the Creoles themselves. We allnde to the present state of Jamaiest. by Mr. Stewart , and to a oink of the season, entitled .. The Tales. 0 f Old Mr. Jefferson." I b is latter work relates scenes of revolting barbarity cOntinitted in the Island of Jamaica within these ten years. and if such transactions could so recently take plate in the largest and molt ri.fin-mil of our Colonies, what mast be the fate of the slaves in the inferior islands? The Win poet says, " tell% qui pot - ut reruns corms:err camas." IVe do not think the Colohists have as yet as • quired this felicity, for it is evident to sound reason, that their misfortunes amiss not, as they imagine, fro .0 say ap proach to negro eussocipatioa, but is a great asmasuie from the ink t.ittritY of Acne labour to the labour of keem :n . MASQUERADE AC THE ARGYLL ROOMS. Last night, this long expected entertainment took place; an I though a great part of the Fs/titian able World was ab sent from town, and no small portion of the remainder was occupied by the attractions of the Theatre and family par ties at this festive sesaon, the arrival of the usual motley characters was incessant, front tho bogy the doors of t h g Argyll 110011.5 were opened, until after mid night. The rooms were beautifully decorated, an 4 superbly lighted. Several blinds of music were in atte.ld• ance—the refreshments were of the best quality, and Jibe. rally supplied—the %ripper was good, and the wines (fur. Mihail by Mr. Chic Wright, of the Opera Colonade) were tub as to call forth the approhation of the fastidious as well as to enliven the spirits of the languid. All, is short, that depended ttpno the managers of the fate, was done in the best style ; and if there was not entertainment to complete, it would ha ve been the fault of the cony pally, and not of the purveyors. Amongst the characters, were the canal proportions of Quakers, Jews, Monk., m ag i c i an s, H uss ars, Turks, Greeks, Indians, Watchmen, and Sailors, gentle Shepherds and hoydening Shepherd esses, Spanish Patriots and Banditti, well dressed Dandies and undressed Danditettes, Peasants (male anti female) of every country; a capital group of Highlanders correctly clad in the beautiful and picturesque soatume of the Lana of Cakes; an excelleet Welchman, several Yorkshisewen, a rattling, jocund, witty, and eccentric Irishman with a no less adtnitable Irishwoman, who sported " black and bine" eves; besides a- plentifol number of Theatrical char se'ers, versitay supported. Though the Ladies formed a minority, there was some very excellent dancing. The Highland party performed several Scotch reels with spirit and seamy ; but the quadrille was the favourite dance of the night. The principai company re* I paired to the supper rooms at about half past one o'clock. whence they returned to the ball rooms in about an hour, re• sullied the merry deuce; and so kept it up this morning, that the entertaioment pasted off with satisfaction and eclat.
