THE KROOMEN of WEST AFRICA. A forced emigration has been going on for a consi derable time from the coast of Africa to the West India islands and their vicinity, carried on from the fact that, the climate or the West Indies will not al low European labour to exercise itself either effec tively or to any purpose in those latitudes. To remedy this, it has been proposed to increase the productibility of those islands forming our British colonies, by establishing and encouraging an emigra tion of free labourers from the coast of Africa. This emigration, it is proposed, should be regulated and conducted by the Government, in vessels specially ap pointed : and that every emigrant shall have a right, to demand, and the colony rece i v i ng hi m s h a ll bind itself to grant, at any time after the expiration of three years, a free passage to the place from whence he came. The sources from which these free labourers are to be procured at first, are from the British colonies on the coast, Liberia, and the Kroo country. The grand object, however, is to procure them from the last locality, and the leading purposes of the evidence recently taken before the Select Committee on the Wrest Coast of Africa, was to narrowly investigate the nature of this particular class of men, and their eligibility as to the contemplated transfer above men tioned. From the heavy Report upon this subject, just published, we have selected all such passages wherever they appeared scattered about, and have combined them into the present paper, for the pur pose of arriving at as accurate a notion of the people as could possibly be obtained from the evidence adduced.

It will be recollected that, on the 16th of August, the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee reported to the Court of Common Council upon a statement of the income of the Corporation, with a wish of showing the amount which should be returned to the Commis sioilers, in order that the Corporation might be as sessed to the duties payable to the Queen, ending the sth day of April, 1843, and that their Report stated that the City income, subject to the duty of 7d. in the pound, amounted to the sum of 4,4701. 7s. 7id., and that they were of opinion that the sum of 1301. 7s. 6d. being 7d._ in the pound on the said sum of 4,4701. 7s. 7W., should he submitted to the Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes for carrying the Act into execution.

(Empowered by Special Act of Parliament. 3 Vic. c.. 20. ) 62, KING WILLIAM-STREET, LONDON-BRIDGE, Words would fail to express the actual condi tion of the working population of " the most Christian land on the face of God's earth." Let the evils of which I speak descend on the heads of those who taunt us by saying " There is the workhouse; why don't you go in ?" Many of us have been reared by honest, respected parents, whose memories we cherish, and who struggled through trying times without yielding their inde pendence. Hitherto we have paid our way, and lived in happiness and some sort of contentment, and no degree of suffe.ring can bring many. of us to the pauper-pitch. We have passed our lives in a different class, and we brave the cold of winter, time chance of death and relief, rather than have it said we are paupers. We have handi to work fur our food. God has given seed time and harvest, summer and winter, and these do not fail. Why should we yield to the narrowed dic tates of a compulsory charity when justice de mands our freedom from the tyranny'' Much is said of " the distress in the manufac turing districts." It may answer the purpose of some to encourage the idea of distress being al most entirely confined to these districts; but the truth is far otherwise. I believe no one has had more opportunity of judging than I have, and my conviction is, that the agricultural districts are absolutely worse. Suffering there is borne with more patience, because the minds and stations of the labourers and farmers are more debased than those of the manufacturing operative ; their real condition is truly awful. They have fewer scru ples as to the applying for relief, but even what is anted is barely sufficient to keep body and so ltoget her—in some cases it has been proved so. e Well, the leaves are falling. Winter's voice is h ard, and Famine is coining hand in hand with it Oh, t hat the land we love, and the altars we have seen our fathers prize, were saved.from the ordeal through which they must soon be called to pass.

Their na tional peculiarities are very remarkable, and distin guish them almost as much from any other African tribe, as they do from the Europeans. In this place, however, it will be our special purpose to notice those qualities which affect them as emigrants. In the midst of a slaving district, the Kroomen are never enslaved, and they navigate and work on board the Spanish and Portuguese slavers, with perfect con fidence and safety. Every man of war on the station ships a certain number of these people according to her rating, and there are never less than 400 of them embarked on board the different vessels of the squadron at any one time. All the timber vessels, and indeed almost all the other vessels on the coast, engage Kroomen to do the heavy work, which Europeans cannot attempt with safety in that climate. They are to be met with wherever work is to be had or wages to be obtained; they labour with astonishing energy, cheerfulness, and perseverance ; and they are distin guished by frugality and parsimony. At Sierra Leone there is a shifting Kroo population of several hundreds, who are employed by the mer chant vessels, and at the factories up the rivers, and by the merchants and other residents in Free Town, The superior value of their labour, as compared with that of liberated Africans, is proved by the fact, that whilst the wages of the Krooman are from 9d. to is. per day, those of a liberated African are only 4d. a day, and yet the former is preferred. As agricultural labourers, the Kroomen have never been tried either at Sierra Leone or anywhere else, but there is no doubt that, with their industry and intelligence, they would easily and rapidly acquire the necessary prac tical skill.

Edinburgh : William Whyte and Co. ; Lcndon : Longman and Co. ; Dublin : W. Curry, Jun. and Co. (From the United Service Gazette of Saturday.) APPOINTMENT OF SIR CHARLES DALBIAC TO THE COLONELCY OF THE 4TH DRAOOONI4.—The announce ment contained in our Gazette of the 10th ult., has been confirmed by the removal of Lieutenant-General Sir Charles Dalbiac to the 4th Light Dragoons, in succession to the late Lord Edward Somerset. Lieu tenant-General Newbery, formerly of the 16th Lancers, has replaced Sir Charles in the Colonelcy of the 3d Dragoon Guards. General Newbery's mili tary career is unconnected with the Peninsula or the battle of Waterloo, but he was usefully employed in India for a long period, first in the capacity of a regi mental officer, and, subsequently, as a brigadier. He was, we believe, the senior candidate of his rank for a cavalry corps. Having occupied that position, he may, perhaps, be considered fairly entitled to the dis tinction which has now been bestowed upon him, in preference to such dashing junior competitors as Major-Generals Hill, Lygon. and Wyndham, whose constantly active, meritorious, and chivalrous services in the field, constitute no slight claim for early and substantial reward.

But two objections may be made by the Colonial Governments to re ceiving Kroomen at all. One is, that they will not permanentlysettle anywhere butin their own country ; and the other is, that they never carry their country women away from home with them.

Ci gars .bi ke d on CAPTAIN SMITH.—We are glad to perceive by the London Gazette of last night that Captain Smith, of the 27th Regiment, has been promoted to a brevet majority for his gallant and successful resistance and ultimate defeat of the rebel Boers at Port Natal. This appropriate and well-timed reward is, we are assured, the Duke of Wellington's spontaneous and unsolicited act. The promptitude with which his Grace has con ferred this well-merited mark of distinction upon Captain Smith, and the spirited and exemplary con duct which it is intended to reward, are alike ho nourable to the donor and the recipient. It may not, perhaps, be generally known to our readers that Cap tain Smith commenoed his professional career in the navy, from which he transferred his services to the 27th Regiment in June, 1813. At that period his father was surgeon in that corps, and his sister, Mrs. Tucker, married one of its captains, circumstances which no doubt had its full weight in determining Captain Smith to exchange his blue for a red jacket. The ship in which he last served was the Sapphire. lie has had his share of hard fighting, both in the Penin sula and at Waterloo, since he has belonged to the military branch of the service. LORD lIILL'S lintvaTt Sneartany.—We are by no means surprised, although certainly very much gratified, at the promotion to an unattached Lieute nant-Colonelcy of Colonel Egerton, late Aide-de-Camp and Private Secretary to Lord llill. The Colonel's zeal, activity, and attention to the onerous duties of the responsible appointment which he held with so much credit to himself and advantage to the service, during the period of his Lordship's command of the army, are well deserving the recompense which has been bestowed upon them, and which will, we under-` stand, he still further rewarded by an annual pecu niary grant as one of the full Colonels coming within the meaning and intent of one of the provisions em bodied in the Report of the late Naval and Military Commission.

That the profits of the English grazier are small, we admit. But why are they so ? Because the rents of the land on which he grazes them are too high. The Post knows well where the shoe pinches ; and so it undertakes to run down Spanish beef. But the real secret is this— that to obtain good and cheap English beef, the rents must come down, and the supporters of the P os t must dimini s h their luxuries to contribute to pro ving for other people's necessities. This neither suits it nor them, and therefore a cry is heard of, " The tariff of Sir Robert is injurious to the graziers." But if it bring good beef, and plenty of it, to the poor ?nun's cottage, wh o w ill not rejoice to raise another cry of " liuzza for the Tariff? ' SLAVERY IN TURKEY. The following dispatch appears in " the Cor. respondence with Foreign Powers relative to the Slave Trade '."— " VISCOUNT PONSONBT TO VISCOUNT PALMERSTON. " Therapia, Dec. 27. 1840. "My Lord,—l have paid the greatest attention to your Lordship's several instructions on the subject of slavery in Turkey, with the hopes of arriving at some result that would afford a chance of obtaining in any degree the object your Lordship so earnestly desires to accomplish. I have mentioned the subject, and I have been heard with extreme astonishment, accom panied with a smile, at a proposition for destroying an institution closely interwoven with the frame of so ciety in this country, and intimately connected with the law and with the habits, and even the religion, of al daises of the - people, from the Sultan himself down to the lowest peasant. " The Sultans, for some centuries past, have never married, and the imperial race is perpetuated by mothers who are sleiVes. " In all other families slaves may be, and often are, the mothers of legitimatised children, who are in all respects as much esteemed tts those of legal wives. " The admirals, the generals, the Ministers of State, in gent psrt have been originally slaves. In most fa milies a slave elijoyt the highest degree of confidence and influence with the head of the house. execu tion It will be necessary to limit the law .of " To carry what your Lordship desires into to the etovVii and alter the poli c y that has so long guided the Sultans in that respect, and also to change fundamentally the political and civil institution' and su ccession laws and the domestic arrangements of the people. Universal confusiOn would perhaps be the consequence of such violent changes, and probably those person§ intended to be most benefited by them would be the greatest sufferers. " The slaves are generally well protected against ill treatment by custom and the habits of the Turks, and by the interests of masters and their religious duty, and perhapt slaves in Turkey are not to be con sidered worse off than then everywhere else who are placed by circumstances in a dependent situation; whilst, on the other hand, they may attain, and con stantly do enjoy, the highest dignities, the greatest poWer, and largest share of wealth of any persons in the empire. "I think that all attempts to effect your Lordship's purpose will fail, and I fear they might give offence if urged forwdrd with importunity. I was asked, What would the English Govcrnment think of the Sublime iloftti it it 'mai to call 1117011 the Sovereign of England and lav and I°t Nolo Of trigland W alt e r th e fundamental fletheir country, and change its domestic habits Gusto as in order to please the tastes of the Turks?' ~ l l could perceive, in spite of the good-humoured olifibio§§ With iwhieh this question was asked, that there was something Hite wounded feeling in the speaker. • he , " The Turks may b elieve us to be their sup eriors in linilgarot:tr, and in arms ; b u t they are very wisdom or our mor ality greater f t ti Pram sciences, in ti than their own.-4 have, &c.

The difficulty could not be met eith er b y sending the traffic a considerable distance round, or by passing through Surrenden Park. Sir Edward, on a repre sentation of the matter, most liberally granted per mission for the coaches to pass through his avenue and park. It was a concession of no ordinary character, as the road passes for upwards of a mile through •the beautifully ornamented grounds, and close to the ancient family mansion. This public spirit is beyond all praise, and the name of Sir Edward Dering will long be held in honourable re membrance for the noble example which he has set. 4 —Railway Times.

Soon afterw i ards an alarm was given o f the house being on fire, when upon Mrs. Montague ' s mother gong to the apartment she discovered the interior enveloped in flames. lArith great courage she rushed through return them and seized the infant fr om the bed, but in g both of them were fr i g htfully burnt, in fact to such an extent that the child died in an hour or so after wards. The grandmother remains in a most deplorable condition, and is con3idered in imminent danger. The fire was not extinguished until the whole of the furniture in the room was consumed. The iirooman who leaves his own country in search of employment, will always return home at the end of three or four years with the goods, the produce of his labour, which he has collected during his absence. Parts of the property thus acquired he presents to the King or headman of the town or district to which he belongs, and with the remainder he builds a house, procures a wife, clears a farm, and supports himself for about a year or eighteen months. His holiday being over, he leaves his house, farm, and property to be attended to by his wife and his relations, and. ab sents himself from home for another term of three or four years, at the expiration of which time he again returns with the fruits of his exertion to make a new present to his chief, to obtain another wife, and to add to the dimensions of his farm. This process is re peated several times, until the wanderer has acquired what is by him considered competent wealth, when he settles in his own country for the remainder of his life. The Kroomen are too valuable a class of labourers to be lightly thrown out of the scheme of emigration. If means of transport are provided, their numbers in the West Indies may eventually be kept up to several thousands. In that case the requirement respecting women must be dispensed with in their favour, and they must be assured that, at least, one opportunity will be afforded to them during every year of return ing to their own country. The Kroo coast, on which these people live, begins at the river Cestros, the place known as St. George's, and with which merchants and others are acquainted as the spot where Mr. Spence established a factory some years since, but which has recently been aban doned. The Kroomen occupy only five towns upon the coast, at different places between the river Cestros and the Grand Cestros. To the northward of that the Bassa people lie in termixed with the Fishmen ; and occupying all the coast to the south 'yard of the Grand Cestros are the Fishmen, a different people from the Kroomen; they are often confounded, but there exists a great dis tinction between them. Intermixed with the five Kroo towns, are many Fish places. The Kroomen occupy the interior of the country more than the Fishmen, the Fishmen are entirely upon the coast. The Kroomen are exempt from becoming slaves, but are ready to help in the traffic and procurement of them. They are in the habit of sacrificing their ene mies taken in war to the Fetish tree. About 1,000 to 1,200 of them are at present employed at Sierra Leone. Agricultural labour, for the most part, they appear to dislike ; but they excel in heavy manual labour, such as cutting timber and rafting it, and work of that species, which they are competent to do, and skilful in doing it. In their own country, never theless, they grow rice, cassada, sugar-cane, plain tains, yams, and palm oil. Abroad they live toge ther, chiefly on rice, wheti they can get it. They are very docile , and willing of character. Such is a statement, as well as we can collectively gather, of the people to whose emigration to our British colonies much importance seems to be attached. They are undoubtedly a superior race, and their labour is in great request wherever it is offered. What measures the Committee will suggest, under the difficulties above stated, or bow to counteract them, is yet to appear.

ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE. OCT. L—The match between the Corsair, of 84 tons, and Talisman, of 87 tons, for 1,000/.. was decided this morning in favour of the Corsair. She passed• the starting vessel at nine minutes past seven; the Talisman, closely following her, passed at thirteen minutes past seven, being but tour .minutes difference in nearly forty hours' sailing, in a gale of wind, a distance exceeding 300 miles. They started.at twenty minutes before four on Thursday afternoon, both vessels under storm trysail, small jib, and reefed square sail, the Corsair taking the lead, and keeping it to the Start point; at this period the vessels were ilaced in most dif fi cult situations. The Talisman , n the height of the gale, running, the Corsair , came up close astern of her, the waves running so high that the men on board the Corsair were tearful the Talisman would run them down, as site came up on the top of the sea, they lying in the hollow. They all rushed astern, and hailed her to alter her course, which she lind,they come in contact, 'tis more than pro bable both would have sunk and every soul perished. there being DO sail in sight . T h e Cor , sairjibbi fir; carried away the jaws of her gaff, wht,ii the Talisman passed. and kept the lead to the Eddystone, which she passed at three A.M. MI Friday ; in that time having gained nearly eleven minutes on the Corsair. Both rounded the Eddy stone under reefed trysail, reefed ibrelmil,• and storm jib. At five a.m. the two vessels were close to each other. The wale-tiler moderating about nine o'clock, both vessels set larger jibs, and the Corsair a mizen; the Talisman always increasing sail first, being the most powerful vessel, and the pilots of the Corsair being fearful of their mast, which was a weak stick. After rounding the Start point the Corsair took the lead; the Talisman then down with her trysail, and set her mainsail with two reefs in it, and soon after passed the Corsair. The Corsair then set her mainsail similarly reefed; the Talisman put out a larger jib, and kept . the lead till off Sidmouth, when the Corsair went under the Talisman's stern and spoke her (about seven P.M.) At twelve o'clock they rounded Portland, both vessels together; at three A.M. on Saturday the Corsair was half a mile dead in the wind a-head of the Talisman, and eventually lost sight of her. The Corsair tacked to the northward, took in B. reef in the mainsail. Five a.m. saw the Talisman half a mile to leeward, under a press of sail, which compelled the Corsair to shake the reefs out, in doing which she carried away the boom rating, which brought the Talisman close up aside her lee. The damage being repaired, the whole sail was set, when she went a-head again, and beat by four minutes. The Talisman was sailed by Captain John Long, assisted by Robert Newman, John Denton, Mathew Fl etcher, and J. Willis, and twenty seamen. Mr. Jos. White, the builder, was also on board. The Corsair was sailed . .by Captain Daniel Brown, assisted b y Daniel and Edward Corke (th e well-known pilots of the Water Witch in her match round the Eddystone with the Galatea), and twenty-two men. This match is an extraord i nary one, front . the vessels sailing for s o large a cunt under the smallest sails they c ould set, the gale raking with such violence. The Corsair had the . assistance of a mizen when the Talisman 'talisman shifted her jib s , which were at tell t ithes larger than the Corsair's.
