SAVANNA.;LAJIAR, JUNE 29.—We were agreeably disap pointed on our arrival in the parish of Westmorland, to find all the various rumours circulated, relative to the negroes, to be either entirely without foundation, or else much exaggerated. Much alarm has been excited by an anonymous letter, received by Lieutenant-Colonel Dobson. The writer (whom we be lieve to be cracked) denounced the head negrocs or. various properties in Westmorland and Saint Elizabeth's. He stated, that the slaves on White Hall, Spring Vale, anti several.other properties in the parish of St. Elizabeth, and bordering on Westmorland, Were to assemble on the 3d of the enduing month (July), at Ackendoini, in the latter parish, where they were to befouled by disaffected negroes from various estates of i i n tw ct ; tlio a s oli t els h it heshealue,enoownit: itictlatlseehegfarviipsl,ani:oe:igaiimstsini. that parish. He also accused several persons of supplying the rebels with arms, more particularly a French person, whom he described as S. T. of Savanna-la-Mar, and said the fact could be proved by his partner, A. R. This fudge caused long examinations at the house of his Honour, Mr. Custos Fin. lepton, and it was said a correspondence would be traced to Boyer. We believe that there has been elicited but very little or importance. On Wednesday the 23d instant, about noon, a detachment of the Western Interior Regiment, stationed at Argyle Works, marched to and surrounded the Argyle negro houses, whilst a party went in to search for the revolters. The ring-leader (John Read), who had been head-driver on Argyle, was sup posed to be concealed in those houses, and the result &hewed the supposition to be well-founded. After a long search, a black private, in passing through some very high grass, nearly trod upon a negro, who was laying on his side, with a drawn knife in his hand. The black private charged his bayonet on the man in the grass, calling on him to surrender. John Read a ( f t o him 1 7oyn calledst p h r e u militia-man, o l ir from ti a a i - d m ; a t n ht , eh and made placei thrusts,rad wheree and t two stabs they h e grap plingy struggled, was a deep descent, down which the two com batants relied, still grasping with each other ; in the mean. tict.,l they several otehfyothvineeeir m reh i a l sn i militia men comrade.rs m e str e ct i n ui lea jgwloiehnrnge the I R : o c tet : lea : ded other has teningrfirmloienen h itime, grasp,holding made with his knife two dreadful gashes in his own throat; in fact, nearly severed the head from the body. Mr. Mal corn, the proprietor of Argyle, was just below, and imme diately advanced towards die dreadful scene. By the time Mr. Malcolm came up, several persons were holding the dying rebel ; the moment he saw his master, whilst the blood was gushing from him, and the impression of death stamped ghastly on his face, he waved his hand three times to his mas ter, as if imploring forgiveness , and fa llin g forward, ex p ired. In five minutes from the moment he was discovered, he had terminated his own existence. It has been since ascertained, that his object In coming back to the negro houses, was for the purpose of murdering his half.brother, who had first given Information of the con. &piracy to Mr. Malcolm; indeed, he had attempted to waylay Ins brother, the morning after the information had been given to Mr. Malcolm, suspecting the object en which he had been seen, communicating with his owner. The detection of this dangerous character is entirely to be attributed to the admirable arrangements of Colonel Camp bell, of the Western Interior, who had so judiciously station.• ed the militia under his command, that escape was impossible. The country, we understand, is highly indebted to this gen email:" .................•M1••••1NP••• VICTILI NG. 0 Fl , ICH, August 23, 1i424.

This :singular and useful tree is found in great abund ance on the mountains above Perequito u situatEd to the north-west of _Maracay, a village in the " It is in no wise extraordinary, that after the events in the Peninsula, and the happy event which has terminated the war in Costa Firma, the report alluded to and contradicted in your 'Excellency's le tter,should have been propagated—partly through the vengeance of our enemies, and partly through the credu lity of certain persons, whose fears prepare for themselves dan gers and disasters at every step. " For myself, your Excellency may be assured, that, inde pendent of your respectable authority, which I highly appre ciate, I never could believe that your Government entertained such an idea ; at least, I rendered this justice to a nation that had religiously observed towards us hitherto that neutrality which it lad prescribed to itself from the commencement of west of the Caraccas.

The following results of these gentlemen's labours I have extracted from the scientific Journal of the Royal Institution : It (nixes with water in all proportions, and when thus Muted, it does not coagulate by ebul lition.

Between two and three weeks ago, James Homer, of Rounds, and 'William Wood, of Oundle, both in the county of Northampton, were committed to Aylesbury gaol and to hard labour for a calendar month, on a charge of collect ing money under false pretences. The prisoners, it appears, I are duly licensed preachers, and in the habit of preaching at the places above mentioned, and in their vicinity, but at tie time they were taken into custody were collecting money in the town of Newport Pagnell, in thli county. The purpose for which they were making this collection, it now turns out, so far from being a false pretence, was that for which they had been specially authorized and deputed by a certain religious party or sect, who had erected a meeting-house at Rounds, the wholeex pen ce ofwhich they had been unahle,out of their own funds, to de-. fray. The corm itment of th e prison ers, under thesecircuntstances, has excited, wherever known, a great sensation ; and the Hon. Robert Smith, one of the representatives of this county, is, we understand, to submit the case to the adjourned Sessions.— Ulterior measures, we are also informed, are about to be adopt. ed by the friends of the prisoners, before the proper tribunal, to obtain for them redress, and to repel the attack made, through them, upon the civil and religious rights of the sub. ject. The parties who deputed the prisoners to make the col., lection, which is charged on them as an offence, have forward ed to Mr. Smith a full detail of the circumstances, attested by their respective signatures rind have transmitted to us 11 request to insert the following as a copy of their letter to Mr. Smith : " To the Hon.

" That the said James Horner and William Wood are duly licensed to preach, abd as Ministers of a religious sect called Baptist Revivalists, and in the constant habit of preaching at Rounds and Oundle, and within a circuit of about eight miles round the neighbourhood of those places. " That the Society of Baptist Revivalists have recently erected a meeting-house for while worship at Raunds, at an expence (including the purchase of the ground) of 1401.; and • t4at being unable to defray the whole - Of such expence, they. authorised and deputed James Horner and William Wood to solicit and collect pecuniary assistance front the public, in full confidence, that whatever money might be so obtained would - be faithfully accounted for to the Society by their two brethren.

SOUTH Abl EATCA, PHILADELPHIA, JULY 29.—1 t is stated that Capt. Spring, of the brig Julia, twenty days from Laguayra, arrived at. New York, on Monday, that when he sailed 10,000 men were or dered to be raised to reinforce Bolivar 's army in Peru. They were ordered to rendezvous in the valley of Aragua,from thence to proceed to Puerto Cabello, and embark for the Isthmus of Panama, and thence to Peru. All the English officers in the Caraccas were ordered to join the army, and all officers on pa role were ordered to join their respective corps immediately. CAPTURE OF PIRATES. Ntw YORK, Jut.r 30.—The schooner Elizabeth has ar. ' rived at Baltimore in ten days from Mantanzas. The Captain informs the Editor of the Patriot that they came out of that place on the 17th instant, under convoy of the United States schooner Terrier, to the mouth of the Harbour ' where they fell in with the United S tat e s shi p John Adams, b ound to New York, and parted with her off Abaco. About two days pre vious to the sailing of the Elizabeth , accou nts w e r e received of two more American vessels being taken off the the harbour, carried to Seawapa Bay, and their masts cut away—no ac count received of their crews. The words " New York" had been seen on one of their sterns. On the 10th, near Matansa, a Colombian privateer schooner (armed with one long gun) fell in with a fleet of pirates.; the same that have been com mitting the late lawless depredations off Matanzas; they con sisted of two small schooners and a feluche, and by a ruse the Colombian schooner brought them into action at close quar ters; when., after a desperate action, killing many, succeeded in capturing the two schooners. The feluche made her escape with ilweeps, arid canto into Matanzas, when they were taken up and imprisoned by the authorities of that place. Their con finement was supposed a sham. The pirates reported that the Colombian shot eight of them on the deck of the first schooner taken, after ascertaining their characters. JAMAICA PAPERS.

Several had been examined before the Magistrates and the General, at Savaiina.la-Mar, but nothing of any importance was proved against them. We understand that. Sir John Keane intends inspecting all the forts round the island before he returns. Two companies of the 92d havo been . left at Savanna-la-Mar; the remaining companies return with him on board th e Hussar. , Fststotrrit, Jut.Y 7.—We are happy to state, that tran quillity again pervades the parish of Hanover, and the negroes have returned to their work. The trials of the revolted slaves who were actively engaged, and also of others who are impli cated in the late disturbances in that district, will commence at Lures next Tuesday. Kixorrow, JULY B.—His Majesty's ship Hussar , Captain Harris, anchored at Port Royal yesterday morning, from a cruise.—Sir John Keane and suite landed In this city yesterday from the Hussar.. tiLy 3. Yesterday, Joseph Duval, and Lion Culsee ' two nhabitents (foreigners) of this city, were taken up, and their apers seized, which have since been examined, and the two POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CHARGE' OF ARSON. B O W-STREET.—Robert Ball, who stands charged with hav ing set fire to a room which he occupied in the house of Mr. Fearn, tailor, in the Strand, yesterday underwent a second examination. Mr. Alley and Mr. Harmer were in attendance for the prisoner, and a solicitor appeared to conduct the prose. cution on the part of the Sun Fire-office. Mr. Fearn repeated the evidence which he gave on the former occasion. In cross examination, an attempt was made to shake his testimony, and to insinuate that the fire had been oc casioned by himself; but this failed, inasmuch as it appeared that he was not insured, anti could not obtain any advantage whatever by such an act. The discovery and subsequent pre• vention of the progress of the flames, was proved by Mrs. Davis, a lodger in the house, and by Win. Bond. a tailor, who was at work in a room over that in which thl flames burst forth, and who furnished the prisoner with a light shortly before the alarm was created. Mr. Woods proved that he had been called up to the prisoner's room; that he broke open the door, and with water succeeded in extinguishing the flames; ho also proved that he had discovered fire in different places. Part of the things which had been burnt, were also produced. The grounds of suspicion a g ainst the prisoner being ex. tremely strong, he was committed to take his trial. UNioN-Hatr..—A Medical student, named 'Rooker, was charged with parading up and down in front of the Cobourg Theatre, on Saturday night, dressed in women's clothes. His tall and lanky look attracted much notice, and one of the officers requested that she would move off, he conceiving it to be a visit from a girl of the town, nicknamed the " Monu ment." In a squeaking voice the defendant said that he had as much right to walk there as any body- else ; but his black whiskers discovering his sex, her Ladyship was walked oft' to the watch-house, followed by an immense crowd, who desired he would let the Lady go.—The defendant said, that on the night in question he was at a party, and a number of ladies being present, it was proposed that he should dress himself up in one of their clothes. An interchange of dress then took place—the lady putting on his, and he the lady's. After having exhibited himself for some time, to the great amusement of the company, he thought he would have a " bit of a lark," and accordingly slipped, unperceived, out of the house, and walked down to the Coburg Theatre, where he was, so unfortunate as to be picked up by a constable, and lodged in the watch-house. He now saw the folly of the thing, and hoped the Magistrate would look over it. The Doctor was their discharged, and the clothes given up to hint, on his promise of not publicly appear ing in them again. QUEEN -SQUARE. —A red-headed, broad-shouldered Irish mant with a bandage ove r his r i ght eye , and a l on g itude of heard that would honour a pubescont Jew, was brought up be fore the Magistrate on a charge of riotous conduct. Mrs. Fleming, a comfortable -looking matron, proprietress of a mis cellaneous lodging-house, opened the case against the prisoner. " The man is a coming-and.going lodger of mine, your Wor ship ; he axed me to shew him to bed; I did that ; in the room he laid hands on me, and hauld about my clothes, and --." Prisoner—" Oh, Mrs. Fleming I" Mrs. Fleming—" Yes, you did; I tauld him to gi'e o'er his gallimaufry ; he wad na ; then cam a row, and then the watchman, and that's all. Mr. MARKLAND—Was he drunk 2—Mrs. Fleming—Not precisely, your Worship; he was freshisit ; betwixt and be tween; titstneither. drunk nor sober. The watchman kens the rest. The watchman deposed that lie heard the prisoner cry watch ; went to his assistance; the prisoner insisted that lure. Fleming should repay hint the price of the bed (fourpence); was exces sively riotous ; abused every, body, and struck the watchman. Mr. MAUKI.AND (to the prisoner) From what part do you come ?—O'Gorman From the watch-house, your honour. Mr. MARKLAND: I know that; but I mean—O'Gorman : Och, I know ; from Ireland, your honour. Mr. MAW:LAND: I know that too; where were you be ' fore you came to Mrs. Fleming's ?—O'Gorman: At Lewisham. Mr. MAnYLAND: What have you to say against this charge ?-o'Gorman : What's the use in my saying any thing ? Mr. :UAW:LAND: Very little, I fear.--O'Gorman: Sure I can't swear against three of them. Mr. MAIIKLAND: 1 don't want you to swear.--O'Gorman: They'd sell God Almighty for sixpence. 1 am as innocent as the pig unborn. Mr. MARYLAND : Yon struck the watchman ?-o'Gorman : called him to help me ; he came up and tack me into cus tody. Was that the way to help me ? • Mr. MAIIKLAND—I must' . put you up, unless you find somebody to answer for your good behavtour.-o'oorman— rs. Fleming will answer for me.—Mrs. Fleming—Nei I whine. O'Gorman—Ves you will, jewel' ; you'll tell his honour 111 be on my good behaviour, and be a good boy and take care of me, and I'll do the like good turn for you when you get stuck among these peelers. Yes you will " answer for me. 1-311.5. Fleming hesitated—O'Gorman whispered—Mrs. Fleming still wavered and shook her head.—O'Gorman took her hand, looks ed significantly into her eyes, " And winked and squeezed unutterable things."

Its boiling temperature is the , same as that of water. Ex posed to heat, it exhibits at first the same phe nomena as cow's milk. A pellicle 'is formed at its surface, which prevents the disengagement of aqueous vapours. On removing the successive pellicles, and evaporating it at a gentle heat, an extract is obtained resembling franchipane ; when the action of heat is longer continued, oily drops are formed, which increase according as the water is carried off, and finally afford an oily liquid, in which a fibrous matter floats, which become dry and horny, or the temperature of the oil is raised. Then is diffused the best characteristic of meat frying in grease. By the action of heat, there fore, the milk is separable into two parts, the one fusible, and of a fat nature, the other fibrous, and of an animal nature. If the evaporation of the vegetable milk is not pushed toe far, and if the fusible matter be not raised to ebullition, it may d b the e i o t t i a s follow in g li o e . white slightly yellowish coloui, a wi p tl . i t o p u e t r a ti l e t s er : aliort. It then possesses translucid, solid, and resists the impression Of the finger. It begins to melt at 40. centig., and when the fusion is completed, the thermometer indicates 60 degrees, Alcohol of 40 degreos, gr. 0.817), dissolves it totally by ebullition, and it precipitates on cooling. It saponifies with caustic potash, . anti with ammonia forms a soapy emulsion. Nitric acid heated on it, dissolves and converts it into oxalic acid. It resembles refined bees wax, and servos for making candle*. The fibrous substance is procured by decanting the melted waxy matter, washing off the last portion of it with an essential oil, squeezing the residuum, and boiling it a long time in water, t 4 volatilize the oil, the odour of which cannot, how ever, be thereby completely discharged. Thus obtained, the fibrous matter is brown, hav ing been somewhat altered by the tempera. , ture of the incited wax. It is tameless. Pineed. on a hot iron it twists itself and :wells up, and is carbonized, diffusing the smell of broiled meat. Alcohol does not dissolve it ; and hence by treating the extract with the vegetable milk repeatedly with hot alcohol, the fibrous matter is obtained white and flexible. In this state, it dissolves readily -in diluted muriatic acid. It possesses the same properties, therefore, as ani mal fibrine. Fibrine had already been formed in the milky juice of the carica papaya, by %Tau quell:). Besides these two main constituents, the vegetable milk contains a little sugar, a magnesian salt (not an arrtato), and water. It contains neither easeum nor c a outchonc. By incineration, some silica , lime, p hosphate of lime, and magnesia were obtained. The ‘fax forms about one-half the weig h t of the milk.
