The labourers are mostly paid by the piece, and many of them can earn, if industrious, from six to seven rials per diem (3s. 3d., or 3s. 91d. English money, reckoning the dollar at 4s. 4d.) Fifty men are employed in watering the canes, 20 in cutting, ten in bringing the cut canes from the field (each with six mules), 25 (mostly boys) in separating the green tops, which they use fbr fodder, and binding up the remainder for the muleteers ; 20 men, divided into gangs of four each, in feeding the engine day and night ; 14 attend the boilers ; 12 keep up the fires; four turn the cane in the sun, - after the juice has been exprest, and dry it for fuel ; and ten are constantly at work in the warehouse, clarifying the sugar, and removing it afterwards to the general store-room, froth whence it is sent to the market.

PARIS, JULY G.—From the letters which have been published by the Morning Journals, it appears that the frank and explicit explanations given by Count Roy relative to the Spanish funds, have pro duced a strong sensation at Madrid. The official bulletin of the battle of the I Ith of June, so glorious for the Russian arms, coincides with the first bulletin published, only giving some additional details. We learn from it that the respective loss of the two armies was, for the Russians 1,500 killed, and 1,000 wounded; for the Turks 5,000 killed, and 1,500 prisoners. The siege of Silistria continues ; the batteries of the third parallel are completed, and will soon be provided with cannon. An American ship having entered the port of Havre-with a tri-coloured flag, was ordered to take it down, because the three colours are not to be displayed in a French port even as a signal flag. The last letters which we have received from M. Pariset, are dated May 13, from Beyrout, near Tri polis, in Syria. M. Pariset, on his arrival at Cairo, learned that the sanatory state of that city was per fectly satisfactory, and that no apprehensions were entertained. Unwilling to return to Europe with out trying on a great scale the effects of the chlore and chloreuses of oxides, against the plague, M. Pariset resolved to go to Syria, where that cruel dis- DUTCH PAPERS. ST, PETERSBURGII, JUNE 22.—Up to the 21st of June, 381 ships have arrived at Cronstadt—sailed 98.

PETERSBURGII, JUNE 9.—Though our capital wears a tranquil and pacific appearance, all the accounts from the provinces indicate that, while our august Sovereign is every moment ready to conclude peace on equitable and honourable terms, none of the measures are neglected which are absolutely neces sary to ensure the success of the war. Orders have lately been given to all the authorities and land owners to furnish as soon as possible the recruits that have been ordered to be raised. We hear also of the enrolment of volunteers both for the army and nary. The building of ships in the Government yards is prosecuted, with unexampled activity, and, soon after the return of the Imperial family, three ships of the line of the first rate, and several smaller vessels, are to be launched. The most satisfactory account of the prospects of the approaching harvest are received from all parts of the empire.

The defendant in this case was a money porter in the Exchequer-office, and had granted an annuity of 301. a year to the plaintiff. The annuity deed was signed in July, 1819. For the last six years the annuity had not been paid, and the present action was brought upon the deed to recover NU—Ver dict fur the plaintiff for the amount claimed. LEWIS V. TONKS. This was an action on a bill of exchange for 1001., dated Jan. 20, 1829, drawn by a person named M'Neil, accepted by the defendant, and payable two months after date. Mr. CAMPBELL, for the plaintiff, proved the de fendant's hand-writing to the bill, and its dishonour, when due. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed the jury for the defendant and set up a defence of usury.—The Jury found for the defendant. CASSIN V. BARD. Both the parties in this action were attorneys, and the action was upon a bill of exchange and a promissory note, each for 601., and each dated on the same day in 1822.—A verdict was taken for the plaintiff, subject to a reference. A vast number of undefended causes were dis posed of in the course of the day. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY 9. AIOORE V. DIETRICHEN. Mr. Sergeant WILDE stated the case for the plain tiff. It was an action for trespass for apprehending the plaintiff upon a criminal charge, without any reasonable cause or ground whatever. The circum stances of the case were these Mrs. Harrison had let a furnished house at Wingfield, in Berkshire, to a Mr. Dillon. In December last there was half a year's rent in arrear, and Mrs. Harrison employed Mr. Moore, as her agent, to make a distress upon her tenant. Having got the warrant of distress, he proceeded to Wingfield, and distrained Mr. Dillon's horses and cow, and other effects. He got brokers to appraise these things in the usual way, and then emoved them to London for the purpose of sale under the distress. The distress and removal of the goods were all regular. One of the horses was rode, or led, to town by the groom of Mr. Dillon, who happened to be from home at the time; the other horse was conducted up by a person employed by Mr. Moore. On their arrival in town they were put up in Judd -street, preparatory to being sold. This was on a Friday in December. The defendant, on Saturday, went with the groom of Mr. Dillon to Bow street, applied to Smith, an officer of that establishment, told him the horses were stolen from a gentleman in Berkshire, that the groom traced ' them tip the road to London, and that h► (Dietrichen) would point out to the officer the house in which he would find the man who took the - horses. The officer, knowing that horse-dealers are people desperate to deal with, said he woulg take 'another with him, and appointed to meet de fendant on the morning following, in Orange-street, Holborn. The plaint►f lived there. The defendant and the officer went in the morning, and, finding Mr; Moore, arrested him.. It beir►g Sunday, they detained him till Monday, and then brought him before the Magistrates of Bow -street, where, afte► the circumstances were explained he was discharged. These were the facts. The plaintiff' was arrested upon a criminal charge, on a Sunday, detained in custody for the day, and then exposed as a horse stealer in a public office, without a shadow of cause for such a proceeding. The CHIEF JUSTICE summed up, and the Jury, after a short consultation, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 30s. WiGNEY V. THE MARQUIS OF WORCESTER. Mr. Sergeant TADDY stated the case. It was an Action upon a bill of exchange for 4.501., draWn by Lord Hawke, and accepted by the defendant. The Noble Marquis pleaded that he was not of age when the bill was given, though he was then an Officer in the 10th Hussars. His plea, even if good, was got rid of by the fact that the defendant afterwards ac knowledged to pay the debt, he being then of age. This acknowledgment was contained in a letter to the plaintiff, dated Bth June, 1820, to this effect : " I fear little good can be done with Lord Hawke. I unfortunately have not money to pay you now, but I have a bill for 1,2001. accepted by my solicitors, Messrs. Howard and Gibbs, at two months date, which, if you discount and pay yourself, I shall send you," &c. This, he submitted, was sufficient to take the case out of the Statute. The Learned Sergeant then proceeded to call witnesses. The Duke of Beaufort was the first called. (His Grace is the defendant's father.) Mr. Sergeant WILDE, on the other side, said that the Duke of Beaufort was not in Court, but he was ready to admit all that his Grace could prove for the plaintiff. He did accordingly admit the hand-writing of the defendant, and that he was born in 1792. Mr. Sergeant TADDY could not go on with the case without the testimony of the Duke of Beaufort, and the plaintiff was nonsuited. ARCHES COURT, JULY 9. HARRIS V. HARRIS. Counsel having been heard in this case, which has been already fully reported in its progress in the Consistory Court, Sir JOHN NICHOLL now pro ceeded to pass the judgment of the Court. It was an appeal from the Court below, into which it was originally brought as a suit on the part of the viife for a separation, by reason of adultery alleged to have been committed by the husband. After going at length through the case, with the facts of which our readers are already acquainted, the Learned Judge felt it his duty to pronounce against the appeal, and to affirm the sentence of the Consistory Court. THE ARMY. The household brigade of Infantry were reviewed yes. terday morning, in Hyde Park, by General Lord Hill, Commanding-in-Chief. The brigade was composed of the second and third bat talions of the Grenadier Regiment of Guards, and the first battalion of the 3d Regiment of Foot Guards. The second battalion of the Grenadier Regiment of Guards was under the command of Colonel S. G. Wood ford. The third battalion of the Grenadier Guards was commanded by Lord Saltoun, and the first battalion of the 3d Regiment of Foot Guards was commanded by Colonel Keate ; the brigade was under the command of Colonel Clitherow. The battalions marched to the ground at half-past ten o'clock, and took up their position in contiguous column of columns. At eleven o'clock the brigade wheeled up into line, and took open order. Shortly after General Lord Hill, Commanding-in- Chief, attended by his staff, and accompanied by the Duke of Cumberland and several General Officers, arrived on the ground, and was received with presented arms. General Lord Hill, escorted by a very numerous and splendid military cortege, then rode up to the right of the line, passed down the front, up the rear, and afterwards took his station in front of the centre of the brigade. The battalions of the brigade took close order, and wheeled back into open column right in front. The brigadt, next marched past, in review order, in slow and quick time. The brigade, on its arrival on its original ground, pro ceeded to perform a variety of movements and evolutions. The enemy is supposed to be posted in the rear of the wood, which is occupied by his advanced guard of infantry. The cavalry picquets are imagined to be posted on the plain to its right. The light infantry being sounded to the front, com menced a brisk fire on the enemy, but was driven back; the advance of the enemy is checked by the fire of the right battalion. The cavalry of the enemy advanced in force, supported by infantry, and made a formidable attack. The columns of the brigade wheeled to the left, formed squares, fired, front rank kneeling, and repulsed the cavalry. The brigade reformed columns, retired in column, formed in echellon of lines, advanced in echellon, formed squares from lines, repulsed the cavalry, and retired. The enemy advanced to force the position, the brigade formed a general line, fired, and charged, the light in fantry was thrown forward to pursue the retreating enemy, whose reserves advanced from the wood, threatening the right. The brigade changed front of the right, the right and left battalions attacked the wood, and forced the position, the brigade formed into two lines, with the right resting on the wood. The light infantry were recalled, the left of the lines were thrown back by echellon, the brigade resumed its original position, took open order, advanced in line, and gave the general salute. Lord Hill rode forward, and addressing Colonel Clithe row, expressed himself highly gratified at the distinguished manner in which the evolutions and manceuvres were executed by the brigade. It was undoubtedly a grand military spectacle. Lord Hill, attended by his Staff, then left the ground. There was a vast concourse of people in the Park, and a brilliant display of beauty and fashion. Mr. BRUNEL had a long interview with the Duke of WELLINGTON yesterday, respxting the Thames Tunnel. The father of MARIA MARTEN last week visited Bury Hospital, for the purpose of indulging his curiosity with the sight of CORDER'S skeleton, and depo sited a shilling in the box. The fatal pistol with which the murder was inflicted has been presented to the Hospital by HART LOGAN, Esq., the High Sheriff at the time of the trial, and is exhibited in the case.— Cambridge Chron. TRADE OF PAISLEY.—Some time since we mentioned that a slight improvement had taken place in the shawl trade of Paisley, but we regret to state that it was of short duration. In April a new, rich, and near) , plain fabric was introduced, called a " Quaker's Shawl," which, for some time, did pretty well. On the settlement of the great political and religious question, that had so long engrossed the attention of all classes, other two rich and attractive new patterns were exhibited, which were called " Emancipation . ' and "Reconciliation" Shawls, and they also sold briskly for a short time. The sales of these, however, and all other kinds of shawls, fell dreadfully off, and consequently produced a corresponding reaction in the trade of Paisley. No great stir is now expected before September, when the merchants will begin to order their winter fabrics, and some experienced manufacturers are of opinion that there will be no substantial improvement be fore February,—Scotsman. MEXICO, MARCH 13, 1826. SlR,—The possibility of introducing a system of free labour into the West India Islands hav ing been so much discussed in England, I con ceived that it might not be uninteresting to his Majesty's Government to receive some details respecting the result of the experiment in this country, where it certainly has had a fair trial. I accordingly took advantage of Mr. Morier's Prolonged stay here to visit the Valley of Cuer navaca, and Cuantla Amilpas, which supplies a great part of the federation with sugar and coffee, although not a single slave is at present employ ed in their cultivation. I have the honour to enclose a sketch of the observations which I was enabled to make upon this journey, together with such details as I have thought best calculated to shoW both the scale upon which these estates are worked, and the complete success with which the abolition of ;lavery has, in this instance, been attended. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) H. G. WARD. The Right Hon. George Canning. (ENCLOSURE.) The valley, which extends almost uninter ruptedly from Cuernavaca to Cuantla Amilpas, and Jyncar (covering a space of about forty miles), is situated on the road to Acapulco, at the foot of the first range of mountains by which the descent from the Table Land towards the South-West commences, about fifty miles from the capital. It is about 2,000 feet lower than the Table Land of Mexico. The difference of tempera ture is proportionably great, so that two days are sufficient to transport the traveller into the very midst of Terra Caliente. The vicinity to the capital was probably one of the circumstances which induced the first planters to establish themselves in this district. The richness of the soil, and the abundance of water which they found throughout the plain, convinced them that they could not have made a better choice. It is believed that the sugar-cane was first planted there about 100 years ago ; from that time the number of sugar-estates has gone on in creasing, until there is now hardly an acre of ground on the whole plain which is not turned to account. The cultivation was originally carried on en tirely by slaves, who were purchased at Vera Cruz, at from 300 to 400 dollars each. It was found, however, that this system was attended with considerable inconvenience, it be ing impossible to secure a sufficient supply of slaves during a war. The losses, likewise, at all times, were great, as many of the slaves were unable to support the fatigue and changes of temperature to which they were exposed on the journey from Vera Cruz to Cuernavaca, and pe rished, either on the road, or soon after their ar rival. Several of the great proprietors were induced by these circumstances to give liberty to a certain number of their slaves annually, and, by encour aging marriages between them and the Indians of the country, to propagate a race of free la bourers, who might be employed when a supply of slaves was no longer to be obtained. This plan proved so eminently successful that on some of the largest estates there was not a single slave in the year 1808. The policy of the measure became still more apparent on the break ing out of the Revolution in 1810. The planters who had not adopted the system of gradual emancipation before that period saw themselves abandoned, and were forced, in many instances, to give up working their estates, as their slaves took advantage of the approach of the insurgents to join them en masse; while those who had provided themselves with a mixed cast of free labourers, retained, even during the worst times, a sufficient number of men to enable them to continue to cultivate their lands, although upon a smaller scale. The insurrection, however, proved highly in jurious to the proprietors in general. Most of them were Europeans, and, as such, particularly obnoxious to the insurgents ; and, although by coalescing amongst themselves, and maintaining a considerable armed force fbr their defence, they prevented the enemy on several occasions from entering the valley, they found it impossible to secure their communication with the capital, and were thus often deprived of the only market for their goods. In the year 1814, too, the siege of Cuantla, which Monelos had occupied, and which he defended for three whole months against the Vice-regal army under General Cal laja, spread destruction throughout the district. Several of the Haciendas have not even yet recovered the losses which they then sustained, and some, which were quite ruined, have never been rebuilt. In general, however, the last eight years of comparative tranquillity have been suffi cient to restore things to their ancient state, and I could not learn that the produce of the dif ferent estates about Cuernavaca had ever greatly exceeded that of the last twelve months. The scale upon which these estates are worked is enormous. From a supposition that the ground is exhausted by two successive crops, the Mexican planters run into the contrary extreme, and divide their sugar-lands into four equal parts, one only of which is taken annually into cultivation. The remaining three are turned to no account, so that an idea may be formed of the extent of an estate upon which so enormous a quantity of land is allowed to remain unemployed. The largest Haciendas in the neighbourhood of Cuernavaca are those of Yemisco and San Gabriel (both of which belong to the family of Don Gabriel Yermo, an old Spaniard, famous for the arrest of the Viceroy Sturrigaray in 1808, with which the Mexican revolution may be said to have commenced), 'Treinta Pesos, El Puente, Meacatlan, San Easpar, and San Vicente Chi conquuc. Each of these estates produces an nually from 25,000 to 40,000 arrobas of sugar, of 251bs. weight each (about 5,250,0001 b ,, taking 30,000 arrobas as the average produce) ; and to this at least another million may be added, for a number of other smaller estates not in cluded in this list. The crops are usually most abundant, the cane being planted much thicker than is customary in Jamaica ; and the machinery, in the opinion of Dr. Wilson, who accompanied me, and who has The art of refining, though well understood, is seldom or never carried beyond the first dc gree of the process, there being no demand for double-refined sugar in the market ; and the consequence is, that though abounding in sac charine matter, the article is for the most part coarse in appearance, and of a bad colour. The arro . ba of 25]bs. sells i❑ Mexico for about three dollars, or two dollars'and a half, if not of the. best quality. The great Haciendas expend in wages to the workmen, and other current charges, from 800 to 1,200 dollars a week. It — often happens, however, that in a good year the Sale of the molasses alone is sufficient to defray this expense, so that the sugar remains a clear profit. For every arroba of sugar an equal quantity of molasses is produced, which sells, at the door of the Hacienda, for five rials and a half the arroba. It is bought up by the proprietors of the small distilleries, which abound to such a degree, that in the neighbourhood of Cuernavaca alone from 25,000 to 35,000 barrels of Chingarito (a sort of rum) are made annually. The distance from Cuernavaca to Cuantla is about 25 miles ; and, with the exception of a ridge of mountains which separates the two val leys, the whole intervening space is richly culti vated. After passing through the village of Yantepec, which lies at the foot of the mountain, there is a constant succession of Haciendas, most of which appear admirably kept up. The most remarkable in the.district of Cuantla are San Carlos, Pantitlan, Cocoyoc, Calderon, Casasano, Santa Ines, Cohahuistla, Napastlan, and Yenestepango, none of which produce less than 30,000 arrohas of sugar annually, while the annual produce of some (Cohahuistla and Ye nestepango) may be estimated at from 40,000 to 50,000. The Haciendas of Cocoyoc and Pantitlan enjoy the additional advantage of being not only sugar but coffee estates. Their owner, Don Antonio Ve lasco, intro duced, at a great expence, from Cordova, the cultivation of this plant, which has succeeded perfectly. He has now upon his two estates upwards of 200,000 plants, 50,000 of which are already in full vigour. The produce of the last year amounted to 5,000 arrobas, or 125,000 lbs. of coffee, and, as a great number of the young plants will begin to bear this year, it is supposed that the amount will be more than doubled. Coffee is now selling at seven dollars the arroba in Mexico. Its cultivation would there fore prove indefinitely more advantageous than that of the cane, if the demand were equally great. But coffee is by no means in general use in this country, nor is CuaHtla the only place from whence this demand can be supplied. There are immense coffee plantations in the vicinity of Cordova, and the whole of the eastern coast is of course supplied by the nearest market. Were this not the case, the speculation would prove a very lucrative one, as a coffee-estate of 200,000 plants does not require the constant at tendance of above 20 men, (to weed and water,) and consequently entails upon the proprietor but little expence. The average produce of each tree may be esti mated at two pounds and a half. The 3oung plants require great care and at tention, and must be protected from the sun for two who]e years. For this purpose a large piece of ground is covered in, which is called the semillero. The third year the young trees are transplanted to the open field, where they begin almost immediately to produce something, and the fourth they may be reckoned in full vigour. They last from 25 to 30 years. I - saw most of the Haciendas enumerated in the preceding list ; but was struck with none so much as with Santa Ines, which is beautifully kept up. It is almost the only estate which pos sesses a large distillery, which produces from 4,000 to 4,500 barrels of Chingarito every year. The barrel i❑ Mexico is worth 24 dollars, with duties and carriage deducted ; an idea may be formed by this of the immense annual value of the estate. Cohahuistlan might be still more productive, as it is much more extensive, and commands a greater supply of water, but it is not done justice to. The estate belongs to the convent of Dominican Friars ; and as the Abbot is changed by the rules of the order every three years, the overseers of the Hacienda are usually changed with him, and they consequently allow every thing to go to ruin. In general, the fertility of an estate depends entirely upon the supply of water ; the produce of those which have only enough for irrigation, and are forced to work their wheels by mules, will seldom be found, whatever may be the quality of the soil, to amount to one-third of those which can command a sufficient supply for both purposes. In 'the quality of the soil there is but little dif erence. The average annual produce of all the estates it would hardly be possible to compute. The greatest part of it is sent to the capital, from whence it is distributed to the different pro vinces ; muleteers, however, often come direct from the interior. It is a curious fact that an immense quantity of sugar is yearly remitted to Vera Cruz, not for exportation, but for the home consumption of a province which might produce sugar enough to supply all Europe, if it chose to turn to ac count the advantages with which nature has so richly endowed it. The most remarkable circumstance, however, is the total abolition of slavery in a district where such a mass of colonial fruits is produced, and the success with which the introduction of free labour has been attended ; it is this which has induced me to lay these observations before his Majesty's Government, awl to hope that they may be esteemed not wholly unworthy of its at tention, (Signed) H.
