By this it appears that the due observation of Sunday will easily be ettforced, as they themselves, influenced by the reli giousesemnples already MO prevalent among them, have almost 'effect the p urpose. and the Sunday markets continue to decline. This, ut itself, speaks volumes in reply to Wilberforecan calum nies : Tue. S tr st n A v 11l All li E T A.—Some very able papers have recently been Written and published in the Jqrnairts Journal and other new.. i papers, on the above subject, recommending it to the deliberate con. PWICInIiOn of the legislature; hut we think the reform or change may be (at least an far as regards this city), effected, without having re- u course to a law, and that by a very simple process, for the Slave ! population are evidently prepared for the change. Those who have I been in the habit of observing the Sunday markets in Kingston, of I late, could not fail to see a very considerable alteration in them. I The West-street market, particularly, has most materially dinti- niched fir sonic months teat ; end the influx of from the 1 country, by the Spanish-Town and Slipe-Pen Rude, on the Sun. , days, is wonderfully decreased. Not many months ago, Harbour- street, for hours on the Sunday, was crowded with town.people proceeding to the markets, and now Lut comparatively few parsons are seen going thither. On the other hand, Sofas :nuke:, on the :thoorday, is to a Id niter ratio increased, it having extended to the 1, l'anule, occupying the grotto] in front of the theatre. Now, if advantage be taken of thin disposition in the slave population to I attend on Saturdays instead of Sundays, the change of the 'markets 1 from Sunday may lie most cattily and aliniut insensibly effected without the intervention of law. Let the corporate body allow the groins' front Kint...-street to Church-mreet, in front of the theatre, i and to extend an far south an may be found neconsfy, to be used ST. I;ITTM, SECT. gip.

Report ruede from the Committee appointed to prepare an Amwer .es Ms Orem the fitivernor's fifth 31emage of the 3tl test. Metaled se Committee on the Slate of the island. TOVISD•T ' Notr.l3. Mr. Harm-fox Hewlett, in orating the Bill to repeal the Registry Act, moaned it a dory be owed ui every individual in the island; for, when it passed in the year 181$, the whole island, with me mice, exclaimed against it. It was a meet expensive, obnoxious, and oppressive nveasure, without being of the slightest utility. The diem. Member who at the time opposed it prophesied what would he the result, and which was now come to pass- The House had been seduced into the measure by the hypoeritival pro mise% froqi home, that no further interiteenee was contemplated by government in nue local condition ; and he would show that flu. vertm3ent did give such a pkeige, be stating that a register. lion, not emancipation, of sl.r:(11 was their orly object ; and the. island therefore pasted the era peace-offering. Rut that pledge had not been kept, and thetetiote the Assembly would be fully ,jus titied in repealing this Bill. The lion. 3lember then read Irons the Memsee of his Grace the governor to the House, in IRIS, the following passage " His 4 ir:ire has been further instructed to declare it is not the easneiration, but simply the registration, of rho slaves which is new sugpmed ; and so disclaim any intention on the pan nf his kleinty a government thereby to propose their cm:mein:lnm. That explanation has become the more necessary, as great industry her hem exerted. and which could only have proceeded from isms. nave nr titheiliesous misrepresentations, to blend these nhjects together ; and it is tit Ott the pleasure of the Prince Regent, act. mg in the name and on the b e h a lf of his Maj es ty, s h ou ld not be mistinderstood on so searetisd a point." Now. 3lr. sneaker, that was the itoleein pledge that IMO given, that tin othdr measures regarding our slave population should be agitated in the Imperial Parliament. By the discussions which have recently taken place in Parliament, they have forfeited that, pledge; and we are ainehred from eery longer emitieuing this ob. POVAI. mod useless Rill.

A letter from an officer on board the Harlequin sloop of war, gates the following circumstance, as giving rise to the report of that vessel having foundered off the western coast of Ireland. It seems that the last time the ship was in company with the Arab sloop, one of the crew exchanged his hat, on which was painted the word " Harlequin," with one belonging to the Arab, and on the loss of the latter this identical hat was washed on shore, with several pieces of wreck. We regret to hear, that among the midshipmen of the unfortunate Arab, who perished in that ship, were sons of Captains F. Mason, Harper, Gore, and Tetley ; and ofl Lieutenant Vosper, of the royal navy. It is expected that all the guardships at the ports will gel on cruises of exercise in the ensuing summer.

The followineireunritsnes may probably throw some light on the came of h is absence, and !lard same indirect assurance to his friends that nothing has hap pened Whim. A man of the name of Hare, who is employed by the proprietors of the SI enagerie, Exeter 'Change, and who, in the early pert of the morning, occupies himself in cleaning die bents and brushing the clothes of gentlemen who lodge at the tiff firem homes in the neighbourhood of the Adelphi, was sent Mr on Wednesday morning last, to clean the boots and brash the clothes ' of a new lodger, at No. IS, Buckinghanrstreet, Strand, and on entering the g ntlemen's apartment. be wee immediately struck with the description he read of Mr. Pierce in the hand-bills. He however made no remelt, but shortly after called at another gen tlemen's In the same street, to whom he mentioned his suspicions, having the stranger's boots in his hands at the time; this gentle man took the boots, and on examination saw the maker's name and Bristol marked on them. This cirettnistancegiving strength . to the suspicions of Hare, this gentleman advised as soon as he had cleaned the boots, to go to the respectable solicitor in lane, to whom reference was directed to be made in the b ( 2 l 3 l tr e Zs, which Hare accordingly did, and in consequence one of the clerks, who knew the person of Mr. Pierce, was sent with him to the lodging to ascertain the truth of wh at he suspected; but to come at this object the mode adopted by the clerk was not the most ju dicious one, for the door being opened to bins he Inquired if .11r.

The following is an extract Men the Missionary notice), pub- I Helierl under the ditection of the Committee of the Wesleyan Mis sionary society. It is a letter from Mr. k‘hrewntrury. the Al issienai y in ItartairioeS, riving an account of the demolition of the 3lethutlist chapel. in Ilridgetown •• %When the intelligence of the inanimation of the slaves in De merara reached Itarbudeett. it was publicly patted up in the ( om mercial.riends„ that • The Atthanist clergymen of 1/emarsra were Mph impristnud, they being delete implicate et in the insurrection which had broken out in that colony.' Thin falsehood, stated in so public a manner, se: the people in a flame. Fresh stories were tit culeted every day. The island newspapers lone excepted) teemed with itivectivers against certain hypocritical characters, who, under the pretence of giving religious instruction to the slaves, were in troducing principles entirely subveriive of those foundations on which the comfort and happiness of society rested. My letter was again revived, and some confidently asserted, that I had therein stroll, that • the snorts ought to take their liberty by force, if it should not hr otherwise obtained.' To silence this report, I carried the number, containing tee letter, tb the ('nonereial-rooms,that any one who chow might reed it. This measure considerably allayed the public ferment, till one of the printers published scraps of the letter in his paper, with comments upon it, which quickly revived the public rimentment, add increased it to a rtill higher pitch. But not only were my words misrepresented, but it was further said, and by many believed, that the letter I produced was nut therm! one; that I had obtained that which I made public front home, merely to blind the eyes of the people; and that the genuine letter contained the vilest calumnies against the Ilubadimis that were ever sent home to I:ngland. Yet mare : every sermon delivered Meanie a subject of conversation afterwards, so that not , a reel occurred but I was charted with having said something in my public iliscoutse which endangered the peace of the colony ; and to all this it was added, that I held private 'motive with the slaves, to get all the information from them that I could, to convey intelligence to the Althea', Institution. These things haveall emu. hired to amuse the public feelings &rinse us, add the de. spatelma relative to the late dismission m Parliament coming At this ovisis, consummated the whole. I especially ant sow hated of all turn. This hatred hes long manifested itself by angry and emu. temptuous looks; by shouting after me, • That fellow ought to have a rope tied round his neck : hang him.' But on Sunday, October fifth more violent proceedings were had recourse to. In the midst a our evening service, some unknown individuals threw ,amongst the eongregetion eight bottles, centaining some offensive chemical mixtures, which created the reateat confusion, and dis. pereed a pert of toy audience. The first bottle was aimed at one. and just went over try head. The next tiny I offered 301. currency reward for the detection of the offenders : but was soon convinced, that whoever they were, many of the community were die posed to countenance them. Hence, offenders were emboldened. Ihe next :ebbed), the 13th instant, there were many persons within the chapel, apparently ready far any mischief ; and a mob of at least two hundred people without. I was forewarned that evil was meditated against us ; but it did not appear to me !Wit to be intimidated by any threats from performing my duty. We sung and prayed in tolerable peace ; but, as we rose frotu prayer. two men wearing masks, and armed with swords and pis tole, came riding swiftly down the chapel street, and, as they gut opposite the dna:. presented their pistols and tlred. 41Ine pistol did not go off; and the other providentially did not discharge its con. Nuts within the chapel. but just at the bottom of the window, which, ue snou as the mob saw, they shouted, ' Fire ! lire !' to create an alarm, that those who were within, waiting to injure us, might take advantage of the contusion to effect their purpose. My chief concern was for ley dear wile, she being near her confine ment • but on looking down I saw per, without the least dread, take he. stand at the bottom of the . pulpit stairs, determined that non: should drag me front the pulpit. without first trampling her under their feet. After a few nilnutes I gave out a hymn, and was enabled to deliver the sermon with tolerable composure, although we were every now and then annoyed by the throwing of seines, but no one received any injury. The following day, instead of baying protection Aired me, a magistrate sent me a summons to appear before hint on the 23d instant, to answer for not enrolling myself in the colonial militia. It is the determination of nnuty to attempt to make me serve in the miiiria; • for,' say they, • the Toleration Act, by which Methodist ministers are exempted, does not extend to the Vreat Indies.' I have personally waited on his Excellency the Governor, and stated the cue; butt he says it is a matter of law, and he is not sufficiently acquainted with the law to decide. I then waited on the Attorney-General ; he was extreme. ly ill, and could not be seen. I next w e nt to th e Solicitor-General, but he was at a distance in the country, and would not return to town for three weeks. My last resource is to address the (iocernor in Council. My present expectation is, that if 1 refuse to serve in the militia, I shall be thrown into prison ; my next letter, there fore, will probably be dated from the town gaol. At preeent I Cannot remain at the chapel-house in safety ; I have thaefore taken up my residence fur a few weeks with William King, Esq., my brother-in-law. " I am thankful to God for such a retreat and shall esteem it a mercy indeed if neither I nor my family receive any personal injury before I quit Berbadoet."

ON STOMIIO ins Day ROT.—The ravages of the dry rot ate too well known to persons whose property is invest !fed in houses or ships; and every attempt to stop these ra vages is entitled to our attention. The usual method is to impregnate the wood well with the salt left in the prepa num of aquafortis, and called sal cnixuin : but Mr. Raker, of flampstead, has communicated to the Journal of Sciences, a kind of paint, which not only prevented the disease, but also cured it, even where it had made consider able ravages. Dissolve two ounces of white arsenic, and half an ounce of copper filings, in a gallon of soft water, by boiling thew together. Mix together a quart of sire, half a pound of tar, and a small quantity of fresh slaked lime in powder, and beat into a kind of paste: this rate, and a sufficient quantity of powdered linie, is to be added, by small parcels, to the above arsenic liquor, so as to make a kind of paint. When a preventive is to be applied to a new work, it should be painted at least twice with this composition ; the first coat being quite dry before the se mad is applied. But when the dry rot has already made its appearance, the wood, after being removed and repaired, should be left exposed to the air to become quite dry, and then well painted on the side which is to be placed next the —..llfechar Werl.lil ARMOURT IN THE rorrait OF LONDON Whether Tubal Cain, who is described in Scripture as " ant inatruetor of every artificer in brass and iron," and who, according to VOlOlll.lll, is the Vulcan of the Greeks and Romans, taught the manufacture of armour or not, seems doubtful ; though it is probable, that the first tM its of art were to 'Mind every possible protection to the body in the exercise of the chase and the field of war. hero flatus deseri hes the ancient ER palette as fighting in aruiour ; and in Assyria, Persia, and alt the Asiatic empires, it was in use from the earliest period, whence it was introduced among the warlike tribes of Europe, who at first contemned all protectien but their innate courage, and considered any defence except the shield as a mark of effeminacy. Defen sive armour, once introduced, became in constant use, and vari'd according to the weapons whirl' were saceesdvely adopted, in older the better to counteract them. It was lung, however, before any collection of armour was made, and the several iirmounes of Europe were not conned until the last age of chivallic splendor—the six teenth century, when Henry VIII., Francis 1., Charles V., and Maximilian 1., laid the founations of four of the best armoutieti in Europe ; yet their collections were all ot mo dern auditor ; and Dr. Meyrick, in his valueVe inquiry into the origin of armour, has very satisfactorily proved, " that although itt private familles a few suits of est.li.r :late had been preserved in Italy, that of Maximilian, with its steel lamboys, and that of Healy VII., reneesiliq it, are the oldest specimens in Germany and England." Such a declaration is much at variance with all preceding descriptions of the armour in therm/ter, which has been confidently given a much higher antiquity; but this is tie case with all collection of anientir e hence the Ambras.col leetion now at Vienna, though containing armour of the same period as the suits in the Tower, has equally with it been ssscrted to possess specimens of great antiquity, ex hibiting the suite pretended to have been worn by the German emperors from the time of Albert 1., Etnperce tai the Romans, down to the period when body amour was principally relinquished. It appesrs from a survey made by order of Charles 11. in October, leen, that the principal armour now in the Tower was then at Greenwich, whence it has subsequently been removed. During the civil distractions of the pre ceding reign, the armoury in the Green gallery, at Green wich, was despoiled by the soldiers, and that what remained was afterwards transferred to the Tower. In this survey, which is sighed 41:34 John Rubinson, Lieutenant of the Tower, and other officers appointed to make the investiga tion, there is not the slightest mention of the Spanish armoury, or the thumb-screws, racks, and wire whips, which now form so attractive a feature in this exhibition ; and yet the surveyors give a very minute list of every thing found it the armouries or the Tower and Gr.-enwich. The Spanish armoury must therefore have been made up sub sequent to the reign of Charles IL, and its genuinmesa consequently becomes more than doubtful. In Burghlt7's State Papers, a lottery of foreign armour, probably that of the Armada, is said to have been drawn in the29th year of Elizabeth, and, if the instruments of torture, and the Catholic, banner, now exhibited, are really spoils of the Armada, they must have been collected at least a century after they were dispersed by the lottery. There is, how ever, so little reason to believe, that any portion of the armour called Spanish is really so, that little faith can be placed in the authenticity of the instruments of torture which the growing enmity to the Roman Catholics would readily ascribe to them. The targets with pistols in them, exhibited as Spanish, were in the Tower in the reign of Edward VI., and there fore could not have belonged to the Armada ; the pikes, ,hewn as Spanish, were common to the English soldiery, as well as the Spaniards ; and the glaives, bills, halberds, &c. which principally form this collection, were used in England in the reign of Henry VIII. But then there is Queen Elizabeth, in the very armour, we are told, which she wore when she rode on &steed, richly caparisoned, to review her forces at Tilbury Fort. Unfortunately, however, for the correctness of this statement, there is not the slightest evi dence of her Majesty having worn armour on this memora ble occasion; and It farther appears, that the fluted breast plate, and the garde-de-reicer in which her figure is now enviroued, belonged to her hater, and that they could not have been worn in a sitting posture and the armour for _her arms WE teases, of (Abodool. Flaw, theiabartores f the equ: strian exhibition of armour in the Tower mcke ' correct : the armour attribateel to William the Conqueror is of Edward the Sixth's time, or of the early part of Eli ' zaiwth's reign ; the suit worn by 7 Edward I. in the Tower, is also of the reign of the sixth Edward, with the addition of a nzartel de fer, of the time of James I. placed in his hand. Edward 111. wears a suit of white armour if Htnry ' VII l.'s time, sal Henry IV. is encased in another suit of the time of Edward VI. The armour of Henry V., which we are assured be wore at the battle of A,;incourt, is composod of various pieces, some of which were not made until two centuries after this memorable victory : the upper part of the armour is of the time of Charles 1., while the legs, which, like those of old Jacob Tonson, are not fellows, arc of the reign of Henry VII. Henry VI., and Edwar:l IV., have also each bor rowed a pair of legs from Henry VIII., and a suit of body armour from Charles the First ; whilst Edward V. wears a rich and highly decorated suit, which appears to have been made for that promising youth, Henry Prince of IVales, son of James the First. Henry the Seventh, no doubt, wears his own armour, and it is one of the greatest curiosities in the Tower, for the lamboys, or puckered petticoat. is so contrived, as to reach the saddle behind, and then fall en each side. Ilenry VIII. wears what may be fairly considered his own proper armour—the legs perhaps excepted. Edward VI. wears a suit, which seems to have been made for Prince Henry. son of James 1., but in compliment to the piety of the young king, a variety of scriptural sub jects arc engraved on it in dilitrent compartments. James 1., who would not easily have been induced to trust himself in a suit of armour, is encased in one which belonged to the Esrl of Warwick, about the time of Elisabeth or Mary. K'ng Charles the First wears a rich suit of gilt armour, which was presented to him by the City of London, when Prince of Wales. Hisson and successor, ('harks I 1., weats a splendid suit, of the time of Edward VI.; as does Wit ham M., while George the First and George the Second wear tha armour of the time of Henry VIII.; the former having the addition of a Turkish bridle. Thus, of the Seventeen Monarchs who appear in armour in the Tower, only three wear that of the period In which they lived: and in the stnali armoury, the figures which represent King John, ILur 111., Henry V., and Henry VI., are all in suits of cavaliers n rmlor, of the time of Charles 1., with flaming 4words, which are of a still later date. 1/e Courcy, the ancestor of the Earls of Kinsale, of whose strength and prowess so many anecdotes are related, wears the armour of a denii-launcer of the time of Award Vl., with a helmet of Henry VII. ; John of Gaunt, " time honourel Lancaster," weirs a gigantic suit of armour, avven feet high, of the time of Henry VIII. ; Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, and the jester, Will. Somers, wear suits of the time of Charles the First, or Second. But although the armour in the 'rower is thus Mappro priately displayed, it is sufficiently rich and varied to admit of a correct arrangement of several perfect snits, and it is touch to be wished that such a classification of it was made. But notwithstanding the anachronisms we base ;sainted out, the armoury in the Tower is highly curious and in.- terrstitig, not only for the several relics of antiepnty it con tains, but for the ingenious and tasteful manner to w bleb I ito.otio stand of modern arms are displayed. The royal train of artillery, capable cf dealing destruttion on a'l around, is also an ohject of wonder and awe; but the curious will probably he more gratified in viewing state swords of the Pretender, the shield of the Earl of Mar, or the axes with which Anne Boleyn, and the F.-,rl of P.sex, i sex th's favourite, were beheaded; but, for the authority of which we will net vouch, since, with respect to Anne Boleyn, Stowe assures us, that her head was at vend from her body at one blow with a sword.- Percy .11;evt • ----- On Wednesday an Inquest was taken by T.
