COAL MINES. The number of working collieries on the river Tyne in the year 1829 was 41 : on the north side 23, and an the south side 18 ; on the river Wear, 6 on the north, and 12 on the south side, making 18 ; the whole number on both rivers being 59. The collieries on the Tyne are capable of raising double their present quantity of coals with the same machinery, but not with the same number of men. Those on the Wear are capable of raising one half more. The reason why these collieries do not work to their full extent, is, that there is not a sufficient market to take off the quantity of coals that could be so raised. Comparing the quality of the produce of the Tyne and the Wear, a much greater proportion of superior coal comes from the collieries on the latter river. Within the preceding fifteen years, the number of collieries on the Wear have increased, and collieries of larger power have come into action during that time. Several new collieries have also been opened on the Tyne, whilst on the Tees there has been a consider able increase in the export of coals. In some cases, the coal which is obtained from the pit is about 90 per cent ; and according to the present improved system of working the mines, all the coal, or nearly all, is got out of the earth ; that which remains behind being scarcely worth mentioning. The amount of money capital for winning Os it is technically called) a certain tract or field of coal, alto gether depends on circumstances. There ate collieries in the north which have cost from ten to twelve thou sand to 150,0001. exclusive of the craft required for the shipment of coals ; by this is meant the expense of sinking the pits, the establishment of machinery, and everything necessary for putting the coal on board the craft, whether into keels or barges, or into ships. This sum includes- railways, waggons, and machinery of every description.—.Sunderland Herald. BROADWAY, NEW YORK. Broadway, the principal street in New York, is one of the noblest in the world. It is always thronged with carriages—but the equipages are not so brilliant as the European ; the coachmen and footmen are in variably blacks, and the whole concern is merely hired; for not a creature has carriages and horses of his own, excepting those who keep them to let out on hire. The liveliest part of this street is the middle. The begin ning of it is formed by the neat but not spacious dwellings of the oldest wealthy families. Those who have enriched themselves in later times, and these are almost exclusively native Americans, were there fore obliged to build their magnificent habitations in the third mile of the street. Here they stand, at first intermixed with wretched houses, then with sheds and huts, and, finally,. quite detached, and further apart, scattered among heaps of rubbish, on vacant spots that have r^r - 1-,r been levelled. A mile in ad vance, are the streets to be occupied by future gene rations, scarcely indicated on the wild, uneven, rocky soil, upon which, her e a n d th ere , a cr ippl e d fore P:: tree owes its existence to the victory of indolence over the love of gain. The shops and the throng or people next claim our attention. The Parisians, it is well known, are masters in the art of tastefully decorating their magazines, as they pompously style their most petty shops—of setting off their goods to the best ad vantage, and displaying them in the most striking and attractive manner ; in this accomplishment the people of New York are not a whit behind them ; and when you see the troops of dressy ladies and officious gentle men parading the streets and pouring into the shops, you have not the least doubt that a great deal of business must be done; bull was soon convinced of the contrary. All the shops which I entered were full of ladies; the master, as well as the shopman, was busily engaged in taking down parcels of goods, opening, and tying them up again. Each lady wished to see every thing, to learn the price of every thing, when it arrived, by what ship, from what place, and the like. It is amus ing to see the fair querists tumbling over the silks and ribands with their delicate hands, unrolling every thing, asking a thousand questions whilst examining the quality ; at last laying the stuffs in folds, the ribands in bows, .forming the -most elegant 'draperies, nay, extemporizing whole tableaux with astonish ing celerity. When this is over, they leave the shop; promising. to call again, and go into the next to repeat the same game, which is kept up from eight in the morning till two in the afternoon. At that hour every body goes to dinner ; they eat much and quick, then rest for an hour, and by half -past four the Broadway is again in full bloom. People now go into company. Each company is an Ex change where the daily price and state of all com modities is discussed. About this time the shops are visited by people from the neighbouring country, who frequently bring them a little custom. About eleven the exhausted shopkeepers muster their remaining strength to clear away and to shut up. Is it any wonder that every second shop window exhi bits a notice in large letters : " This shop to be let ?" In spite of the good example, I could not help buying, whenever I went into a shop, some trifle or other, for which, of course, as a foreigner, I was obliged to pay double price ; but the lesson which I learned at the same time, amply indemnified me. For the first thing I bought I was asked one dollar and fifty cents. I laid a bank note of two dollars on the counter. The shopkeeper immediately put it into his till, and went to attend to something else. When I reminded him that lie had not given me the change, he cooly asked whether I was sure that I had paid him. I was speechless at his impudence, when a gentleman interfered, and said, with a French accent, " The lady has paid ; for I saw ber."* Upon this the shopkeeper, without betray ing the least embarrassment, gave me back twenty cents ; I told him that he ought to have given me fifty. He reckoned for some time, and then handed me six more cents. Hoping to shame him out of it, I re quested him to lend me the slate, and wrote down for him the little account ; he immediately rubbed out what I had written, made figures for a couple of mi nutes, and gave me a few more cents, saying, " Now it is quite right." It was not right by a great dealt; but, being disgusted, I turned away, made an obeisance of acknowledgment to my un known protector, and was preparing to leave the shop, when he addressed me. " I see," said he, in French, " that you' are a stranger. Permit me to in form you, that in this country a person never pays even the smallest trifle, without taking a bill and re ceipt in one . hand, while he pays the money with the other ; and even then it is highly advisable to have at least one witness to the transaction. Whoever has no time to lose provides himself with change, so that he can pay the exact sum ; for it is a principle with the people here to make a profit by every thing, and of course by giving change. I thanked him for the hint. A German Lady's 'Sketches of Americas Society. We und e rst an d th a t a deputation, consisting of heritors, elders, and heads-of families, in the parish of Ban chory Devenick, latelymaited on the Rev. Dr. Morrison, who has been nearly fOrty-nine years minister of that parish, and, in the name of the parishioners, presented him with a hand some piece of plate, as a mark of their great regard for him, both as their faithful pastor, and their public and private bene factor. The Rev. Doctor expressed himself highly gratified. —Aberdeen Herald. DORTON, SEPT. 24.--Sunday night information was given at Wootton House, Bucks, that a party of poachers had concealed themselves in a cow-house, near Howe Wood, Dorton, where they were carrying on their tricks. The Mar quis of Chandos, who had just retired to bed, was made ac quainted with the circumstance, and, with the watch Man on guard on his premises, instantly repaired to the spot, about a mile from his house, where he found three men, two of whom were recognised as 1 old offenders "from Thame, anxiously watching their prizes. Besides the traps already laid, nearly 30 others were found upon them. The Marquis instantly seized by the collar him who appeared their chief, who, with the other two captives, was led peaceably to his Lordship's brew-house. His Lordship humorously observed to them, a s he locked them up, that he still deserved their thanks for pro viding them with such comfortable shelter for the night. In the morning a special meeting of the magistrates took place, and they were committed to Aylesbury gaol. It is thought that the Marquis was induced to go himself, owing to the levere scuffles which have already taken place this season in his extensive preserves, and in one of which his keeper met with a broken rib. The hares here have certainly had sad havoc made upon them, but no doubt by these night marau ders, and not by their being ON *nun with foxes, as the keepers have intimated. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Monileur of Sunday.) No news has been received from the theatre of civil war excepting what relates to insignificant marches and counter marches on both sides, which have not led to any result. The Pretender returned on the 23d to the Borunda, by way of the valley of Ulzama. In Catalonia the Carlists have been actively intriguing, but the authorities are aware of all that relates to their intrigues. A conspiracy has been discovered ; its object was to revolutionize Lerida ; the chief agent of it has been shot. General Llauder has sent a considerable number of troops to Marenza. We have already mentioned the execution of Romagosa, who, as well as the curate and the Provost of Selma, was shot on the 18th at Igualada, near Barcelona. The following procla mation has been issued by General Llauder : " The military commander ,of Igualada has informed me by a letter dated yesterday, half-past 6 o'clock in the evening, that the ex-General Romagosa, the Curate and the Provost of Selma, were taken at the very moment when they intended to make of the people of this loyal province an instrument for their detestable designs. The first, it is believed, came from Genoa, and had landed only a few days ago. A sum of 250 ounces of gold, several important papers, and a quantity of proclamations, in which he styles himself Lieutenant-General and Commander-in-Chief in Catalonia for the foolish Pre tender, were seized on his person. That rebel shall undergo the punishment he deserves, according to the laws which he has violated. I hasten to make known these occurrences to the faithful inhabitants of the principality of Catalonia, so that they may as heretofore second the vigilance of the authorities, and be prepared against the projects of the abominable and sanguinary faction by whom our country is desolated. Cata lonians ! I rely on you, on your devotion, on your fidelity, that we may defend the throne of our legitimate Queen Isabella 11. " Barcelona, Sept. IS. LLAUDER." (From the National of Sunday.) • We have received the following letter from Bilboa, dated September 20 :—" The cholera is raging frightfully in this town. No class of people—no family is spared. Since the death of the French Consul, the English and American (United States) have also died. Our unhappy town, hi therto so flOurishing, will remain a complete desert. Poli tical causes had led to emigrations, by which its population had been reduced to about 6000, from 16,000 to 18,000, that it formeiy amounted to. A new emigration, occa sioned by the disease, will leave it soon without a soul. During the last week more than 500 persons have left, in carriages, on horseback, or on foot, all of whom proceeded towards the French frontier, to take up their abode in Bay onne, Bordeaux, and Toulouse. The cholera has spread throughout the province. It is raging in Durango, Ber mco, and Alvin. It has also penetrated into the Asturias, and has broken out at Santander. On the 14th inst., about fifteen persons died in the last named town. Our garrison, commanded by General Espartero, has left the town, and has settled on the heights, at about two leagues from hence. Only a small number of soldiers have been left behin We have, therefore, seen a column of 2000 Carlists go through the siiburb of Old Bilboa a few days :go." (From the Milmorial des Piiiqnics.) The Queen's troops, commarnl e d by Espartero, and the insurgents headed by Zavalst, met in the neighbourhood of Lcqueitio. Both findissg themselves suddenly in the pre sence of each other, an action became unavoidable, and was fought. It prt.';ved a deadly one to both parties. Several hundred seuliers are said to have been killed or wounded on each side ; but it is difficult to say, amidst conflicting assertions, which was the victorious side. At all events, there seems to have been a great expense of effort and a great effusion of blood, without leading to any result. (From the Indicateur de Bordeaux of Sept. 25.) Nothing very new from the frontier of Spain, excepting that two Alavese battalions, which, under the orders of Villa Real, were occupying the passes of Pancorbo, have been attacked and defeated by General Manso. Rodil is still at Vittoria. The Carlists report that he is going with his troop to Madrid, where a movement of some kind is ap prehended. It is more reason to believe that he had chosen that position in order to repair in case of need to Old Cas tile or Arragon, where it is said that fermentation exists. It is extremely probable, however, that Rodil will be super seded very shortly. Mina is still spoken of as his successor in the command of the army of the north. (From the Courrier Francais.) -It was yesterday (Saturday) reported at the Bourse that the Government had received a telegraphic despatch, an nouncing the acknowledgment of all the loans excepting the Guebhard Loan. As to the other loans, this condition was attached to them—that only two-thirds of the Rentes Perpetuelles and the 3 per Cents. should be paid, and that the remainder should be converted into a deferred stock. This report, however, was not very generally credited. Still less was it believed that. any such project should have been accepted as that said by a morning paper to have been suggested by Ouvr a rd, by w hi c h i t was to b e proposed to the holders of Spanish Rentes as 'a condition of a full ac knowledgment, that they should consent to a further ad vance of 25 per cent. 'This latter piece of news appeared indeed ridiculous, even to the most credulously inclined. ( From the Gazette de France.) NEWS FROM NAVAIIRE.—The information respecting Carlos V. comes down to the evening of the 18th. His Majesty was in good health, though still deeply afflicted by the irreparable loss he has suffered. The official news from the theatre of war comes down to the evening of the 22d. Segastibelza occupied the environs of Elisondo, with a Na varrese battalion. Every time that the enemy attempted to leave the fortress they were repulsed with loss. On the 21st, the Christinos made a sortie with 500 men, which ended in confining than within narrower limits, and proving that no hope of safety remained for them. They are so closely hemmed in, that they cannot move further than 10 steps ; provisions will entirely fail them, if they are not promptly succoured ; and Rodil is in the neighbourhood of Vittoria. The 2d Navarrese battalion has been making these few days past incursions under the walls of Pampe luna, without meeting with interruption. At Corela, and other places, symptoms of insurrection are perceptible. Rodil is sending forces to prevent the increase of these symptoms, but he will not succeed in his object. The movement is extending every day ; the number of guerillas is considerably increasing in Catalonia. In Castile the Royal troops are about to give the signal of general insurrection. ( From the Constitutionnel.) The Moniteur Ottoman of the 30th of August publishes a firman relative to the institution of a sort of National Guard in Turkey, under the name of Redifi-Mansoureh. The regulation of organization is divided into 23 articles. It requires that all men b e t ween 23 a nd 32 years old shall be summoned for the purpose of forming the regular militia. Out of these 1,400 are to be chosen in each sanjack (mili tary arrondissement) to form a battalion. When a sufficient number shall not be found in one sanjack, two are to be joined together, and to f urn i s h a s i ng l e con ti ngen t. Sol diers free from actiVe service will he admitted to be incor porated in tlw militia. The maritime districts are destined to furnish men for the navy. No one enrolled in these corps can be withdrawn for the purpose of being placed in the re giment of the line, and the militia will not be made dis posable, and be subject to be drawn out of its territory, ex cept in time of war. The officers of the Redifi-Mansoureh, being selected from the most eminent young men of each dis trict, will be eligible for civil employments, if they distin guish themselves by their zeal and capacity. The firman of institution has provided in every respect for the instruction, the pay, the promotion, and the time of the annual ma noeuvres of the soldiers. With respect to the latter point, it may be observed that the month of September is one of the periods appointed for the assembling of the militia, be cause, the labours of the field being suspended, the culti vators can leave them without any great inconvenience. This reason cannot fail to appear very singular in France, where the month of September is generally the period of the vintage. But it must not be forgotten that the Mussulmans only cultivate the vine for the purpose of eating the fruit. The regular militia will be uniformly armed and equipped at the expense of the state, but tile arms and the equipments, with the exception of the coat, which will remain in the custody of the militia, are to be kept in depots, and never to 'oe removed except on the days of the assembling of the militia. At other times the militia will be distinguished from other persons' only by the fez or military bonnet, which will form their ordinary head-covering. Every one will, however, be at liberty to procure a complete costume at his own expense, in which case the owner may wear it when he pleases. A revenue, a chest, and an Intendant- General, for the maintenasace of the militia, are created by special regulations, and they are to be totally distinct from the revenues and administration'of the other branches of the public service. The firman thus concludes :—" The 23 preceding articles, after having been agreed to in Coun cil, were submitted to my inspection. Believing that there will result from them immense advantage . to our religion and my empire, I have sanctioned the resolution of the Council, and have directed that the articles shall henceforth be considered as laws, and be punctually executed. For this purpose I have given an order in my own hand, for the transmission of the necessary firmans to all the 'sanjacks of my . empire, in order that the object of this organization may be known to all my subjects. Thou who art the Visier of . sm time in making known my Imperial will to all the inhabitants of the several districts, towns, and villages comprised in the sanjack of . . . • Thou wilt cause them well to understand that the organization of the militia has no other purpose but to put all Mussulman s in a condition to . perform a sacred duty--s-that of defending by means of military tactics, and a great body of disciplined t the parts of my States.

" Given at the end of Rebiul-ewel, 1250 (6th of August, 1834)" NAUPLIA, AUG. 15.—0 n the evening of the 11th, MM. Maurer and Abel embarked on board Greek vessels, to re turn to Germany. In the day they both had audiences of the King, who received them very kindly, and gave them a snuff-box richly ornamented with diamonds, as a souvenir. He has appointed 28 old chiefs of the Palichari, or Rome liotes, as Colonels, Majors, and Captains. It is stated that the greater portion of the troops will be withdrawn from Maina, and sent to Coron. The fortresses will alone be occupied. The Mainotes remain quiet. In Arcadia and Messenia disorders have broken out. The movement pro ceeded from the Caritanians, the country of Colocotroni. The nephews of Plapoutas and Colocotroni are at the head of the movement. The rebels have let the mask fall. They openly declare against the King and the Regency. They say that vessels bringing troops to dethrone Otho are sail ing towards Greece. It is by such absurd reports that they endeavour to gain over the people, and in some instances they force the inhabitants to join them. The Government has taken measures to put down this revolt. In Arcadia tranquillity is re-established. In Messenia, where the re bels surprised the authorities and made them prisoners, the revolt has developed itself. This insurrection has, un doubtedly, a very intimate connection with the 'conspiracy of Colocotroni, for the rebels demand the liberation of Colocotroni and Koliopulos, who have been condemned to hard labour for twenty years. The rebel party desire a constitution, and maintain that the rights, promised the nation .hy the protocol of London have not yet been granted. - Up to the present moment this very party 'have always been opposed to every species of constitutional insti tution. The constitutional party, at whose head is Coletti, are devoted to the Government. It is said that the Russian Colonel Kalergi, who arrived last night from St. Peters burgh, has been arrested. Three other chiefs of the same party, Zogres and the two brothers Zachioropulo, are also imprisoned. The Government being in want of regular troops has this day directed the young Grivas to proceed against the insurgents with 250 Palichari. The Mainotes, who have remained attached to the Government, have also been sent to oppose the rebels ; 200 or 300 brigands have come fmm the Turkish frontiers to Romelia. They have I .:Jeen dispersed by the troops sent against them. The battle was very obstinate, and two officers were wounded. The Councillor Kleuze has left for Athens, where he intends to prepare the works previous to tracing out the capital.— Aztg,sburg Gazette. NAPLES, SEPT. 9.--Yesterday the grand fete of Notre Dame de Pic di Grotta took place, and the number of per sons present was extraordinary. On this occasion the King annually reviews the troops in the capital. This year there were about 18,000 men under arms, stationed along the street Santa Lucia. • They defiled before the King's palace. The guard of hon o ur, a corps re cen tly organize, composed of nobles and the richest citizens, took part for the first time in this review. Their equipment and military appearance were greatly. admired. Their uniform is green with a straight row of buttons, and the facings and reverse of an amethyst colour. The King intends to give the green uniform to the Royal Guards, whose uniform at present is red, like that of the Swiss, with the exception of the trim mings, which are white, in place of yellow. The whole of the Neapolitan army is in a good condition. It is numerous, well clothed, and well equipped. The artillery, however, is not in such a god state as the other corps. This is the reason why a Captain of the Artillery has been sent to France to examine the French Artillery. The King has also given orders for the manufacture, in England, of two btitteries of cannon, which shall soon arrive here. JAMAICA PAPERS. (From the Jamaica Royal Gazette.) PROCLAMATION TO THE NEWLY MADE AP. PRENTICES OF JAMAICA. " The first of August has passed over you, and you are no longer slaves. You have been raised by the generosity and humanity of the British nation, and of those who had power over you, from a state of slavery to that of apprenticeship. On yourselves alone it now depends, under the blessing of Divine Providence, whether you pass a happy and short period of apprenticeship, and then become entire masters of your own time, or whether you arc continued, in consequence of your own misconduct, some time longer without that great blessing. If you misbehave, you will see your friends who are around you, and who have conducted themselves faithfully and well, their own masters, and working for the benefit of their own fa milies, while you will still be apprentices, and forced by the law to work for your masters' advantage. lam sure that you will not be so foolish as to postpone, by your own conduct, the enjoyment of perfect'freedom. " You, who are what is called non-prandial apprentices, that is house servants, and such others as will be pointed out by the special magistrates, will cease to be apprentices in four years time, that is on the Ist of August, 1838, unless by your own misconduct you delay it longer. You will be released from your apprenticeships two years sooner than than the Prm dial or Plantation apprentices ; but in return for this advan tage you must, while you are apprentices, give your master the whole of your time, just as any hired servant does. If you absent yourself from his service, though your master cannot punish you now himself, as he was empowered to de when you were slaves, you will be liable to be punished by order of a special magistrate. I advise you, therefore to pay the most diligent attention to your duties ; serve your masters with cheerfulness, and with the gratitude they deserve. By doing so you will in a few short years enjoy every privilege which any other persons in this island, being British subjects, possess. "You, who are prtedial apprenti ces , or th ose em ployed on the estates in th e cu lti vat i on o f t h e so il , or t h e manu f ac t u re of produce,itshave six years to serve ; but t'ien you have the great advantage of having_ but a small portion of your time to give to y our masters. Your master cannot claim more than forty and a half hours of your time in each week, except in two cases ; but then he has a right to divid3 this forty and a half hours in such reasonable manner as he pleases, between the first five days of the week, beginning with Monday, so, however, that he does not compel you to work more than nine hours in each day, except in cases of hurricane, tempest, earth quake, flood, fire, or other misfortune, the act of God. " The two occasions on which your master can require more than forty and a half hours in each week, an-, first—in cases of hurricane, tempest, earthquake, flood, fire, or other misfor tune, the act of God, when he may employ you during the emergency. Second, at such period of the year as your master may deem it necessary for the cultivation of the estate or plan tation, the gathering in of the crop or its manufacture, he may call on you to work the four and a half hours additional per week ; but then he must repay you that time at a convenient period of the year, and not at the rate of more than three days together at one time. " I recommend to your masters to settle, that you should work eight hours a day each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and eight and a half hours each Friday. The Saturday and Sunday in all cases you will have to yourselves, besides all the hours of rest, which you get each day. There are one hundred and sixty-eight hours in each week, out . of which you will have to give your masters only forty and a half hours, and have 127 hours and a half at your own disposal. Your master must give you. clothes, provision -grounds, and medical attendance if you are sick. I hope that you will give him cheerfully and willingly the very small portion of your time which 4e is entitled to. " It is provided by the law, that you who are prmdial unat tached, or jobbers, shall still continue to work in the same man ner—namely, as jobbers ; but you are entitled to the same pri vileges as those who are settled on an estate, in point of hours of labour; and to the same supplies of clothing and medicines, besides sufficient provision ground or provisions. " Neither, your master, your overseer, your book-keeper, your driver, nor any other person can strike you, or put you into the stocks, nor can you be punished at all, except by the order of a special Magistrate. If any person, without such au thority shall raise a hand to you, or put you into the stocks, he will be liable to be severely punished himself. If you behave badly, your master or any special constable may put you into a cell or place of confinement, but not for more than 24 hours ; and if a special Magistrate shall not have visited such estate before those 24 hours shall have expired, he must release you, but he must bring forward his complaint against you the first tame that a Magistrate does visit the property; thus, though you may be released, you will still be liable to be punished for any misconduct • and your master also will be liable to be pu nished if he shall have improperly confined you " lam your sincere well-wisher ; I have been sent out by our King to see justice is done to all parties. When you arc in the right you will be protected. Whoever is in tho wrong will be punished. I advise you, as the best way to ensure your happiness, to make your masters your first friends. By following their advice, you will be most likely to act as you ought.—Should you, however, be oppressed by any one, go at once to a special Magistrate, and he will reiress any wrong you may have sustained. _ ".Before I conclude, I wish to say one word to such of you as have been selected by your masters to be plantation consta bles; to have been chosen by them, on this occasion, is strong proof of the good opinion they entertain of you. I hope that you will not betray their confidence, but will, by your zealous and honest conduct, show that you are worthy of the distinc tion which you have received. In after-life the character you will then have acquired, will most probably be of the greatest benefit to you. " I am, your sincere friend, Aigust 16, 1834." " SLIGO, Governor of Jamaica. MR.

The Paris papers of Sunday have been received by express, but they contain no intelligence from Madrid of a later date than the 20th inst. The same species of military: devastation which for several months has been desolating the Spanish provinces, and demoraliz ing the people still goes on, and with the usual conse quences. Don CARLos is still prowling about, .fol lowed by a band of ruthless insurgents, pursued by RoDIL and the QUEEN'S troops, who scruple not to imitate him in most of his revolting barbarities. Mi litary executions are so frequent that no accounts are taken of them, and the poorest peasants are daily being shot by the triumphant party for high treason. The insurgents have latterly endeavoured to raise the standard of rebellion in Catalonia, but without success. The public will learn with great satisfaction, that most of the reports which have been circulated by certain Tory Journals, respecting the recent slave in surrections in our colonies, are utterly destitute of truth ; and that the trifling discontent manifested by the emancipated Negroes, in a few of the plantations, was wholly caused by a misconception of the extent of the boon granted to them by the British Parliament. Our arrivals from Jamaica, which are up to the 20th of August, state that in every instance where the slaves declared they were no longer subject to the con troul of their masters, the recommendation of a magis trate, or other impartial authority, was generally found sufficient to induce them to return to their employments. In no instance was the slightest attempt made to injure property, or to attack the persons of those from whom the Negroes believe themselves to have suffered the greatest injuries. The extent of the insurrection amounted to no more than a determination, on the part of a few indi viduals, not to work—a resolution by no means ex traordinary, when the previous sufferings of the libe rated negroes are taken into consideration. The proclamation of the Marquis of SLIGO, Go- vernor of the Island of Jamaica, will well repay the trouble of a careful perusal, were it only for its admi- rable simplicity, its paternity of language, and its happy adaptation to the comprehension of those to whom it is addressed. This is not the first time we have had to speak in terms of high commendation of the proclamations of his EXCELLENCY, which are cal culated to inspire the negroes with confidence, and to beget a ready obedience to the laws. There is a moral dignity in the simple language of authority, which is lost whenever the technicalities of the bar are intro duced. But what to us appears the most striking part of the proclamation, is the frank manner in which the Government explains to the slaves the full change which has been effected in their condition, and the extent to which the authority of the masters has been abridged. There is no attempt at concealment—no sur plusage of unnecessary words used for the purpose of puzzling the understanding of an ignorant people. The truth—the whole truth—is told in such a way that an infant might understand its general meaning. There is a peculiar felicity of illustration in computing the period of labour and of rest in a week, by hours, for the purpose of convincing the Negroes of the great cause they have to be thankful for the redemption °ranted them. By them it will be well understood, accustomed as they have been to be tasked by the hour, under a broiling sun, and what was still more dreadful, under a continual agony from the proximity of a ruthless driver, armed with the dreadful cart-whip. For our own part, we must confess that the peaceable bearing of the slave population, on their emancipation, has exceeded our most sanguine expectations, although we were from the first among the most zealous sup porters of that righteous measure. We were always con fident that the result would be as beneficial to the country, as the act itself was a distinguished proof of our national justice ; but, at the same time, we were not free from ap prehensions of considerable danger to the persons and properties of such of the masters as had been in the habit of abusing their power. Happily, however, no crime, manifesting the slightest desire of revenge, evincing the least recollection of injustice, has yet been perpetrated; nor have any symptoms appeared of a disposition to commit outrages for which many excuses might be made, even were those guilty of them educated freemen, instead of being ignorant slaves whose fetters were just struck off. Revenge is rarely banished the bosom of the most civilized people, when labouring under a sense of being the subjects of previous cruelty and op pression ; nor would the sudden commission of a trifling wrong which it would dictate, be considered any argu ment in favour of the cause which gave rise to it. The trifling discontent manifested by a few of the slaves on their manumission, was the mere accident of a change of being, as it were ; of which change the anticipation was greater than the reality. This always will and must produce more or less discontent, in propor tion to the knowledge of those who are the objects of it. On the whole the accounts from the West India colonies are most satisfactory, when we take into ac count the cause which there were for their being the very reverse, owing to the previous conduct of many of the slave-owners. This, we believe, is in a great measure due to the humane and benevolent conduct of the Marquis of SLIGO, who seems to possess every requisite for his present high and important office. Advises from Greece state that the country is show ing symptoms of an insurrectionary spirit, in conse quence of the sentence passed on the traitor CoLoco- TrtoNr. We arc inclined to doubt the correctness of this statement, as far as it is intended to imply that the discontent is general. The whole movement is only a part of the insidious policy of Russia. A Liverpool Journal says, " the GREY diimer has gone off so well, that the Conservatives at Edinburgh will not be satisfied unless they attempt something to rival it. They also wish to do honour to an Ex- Premier. They want to make a tool of his Grace of WELLINGTON, by getting up a party dinner, of which he is to be the victim. This is a contemptible attempt to rival the GREY festival. We may safely predict that, should it take place, it will prove an utter failure." We have not the slightest doubt of it. In the first place, Edinburgh can with difficulty muster up Conservatives enough to make a respectable figure at such a festival ; and secondly, the Duke of WEL LINGTON seems to entertain a very natural dislike to any public exhibition of the sort. He was absent from the Conservative orgies at Newton and Canter bury, though it was expected he would have been present at both places ; and sure are we, that he will not be frantic enough to travel upwards of four hun dred miles, for the mere purpose of helping the Ultras to get up another mortifying failure. Judging from his recent conduct, we should say that. his GRACE had at length become a convert to Falstaff's opinion on the subject of " discretion." We request our reader's attention to a letter which will be found in another part of The Sun, entitled " Crimes and punishments in the army : Hints to the Military Commission." The writer is evidently a man at home on the subject of which he treats ; .and his strictures being penned in an earnest but temperate and candid spirit, are well calculated to produce a good effect. The flogging system he seems to think has received its death-blow, so disposes of it in a very sulinnary manlier, as if all further agitation of such a question were superfluous. We cannot agree with W. It." in this respect ; for however revolting to all manly feelings be the character of the punishment, flogging has still numerous and influential advocates, and it is only by keeping the question constantly before the public—by making the people sensible of its flagrant inutility as a corrective, — that it stands the slightest chance of being done away with. On the subject of the present condition of the army, " W. R." observes as follows :—" At present, the army is chiefly composed of the refuse of society-- that is, of the idle and dissolute from the manufac turing towns in. England, and every one has witnessed the ragged vagabonds who join the different regiments as recruits from Ireland. Now, when this is notoriously the case, it cannot be expected that any man of re spectability will feel very anxious to allow his son to en list, knowing beforehand that the young man must, for some period at least, associate with abandoned characters in a barrack-room, at a time of life when he is too ready to take impressions from what is daily passing round him, even with the certainty, if he escape contagion, of ulti mately being raised to the rank of officer." These are harsh strictures, but as there is considerable truth in them, they deserve to be attentively weighed and re flected upon. The moral character of the army is, indeed, a question of first-rate importance. Not only does it concern the well-being of the army itself, but of society at large, through all its various grades and ra mifications. Wherever there is a demoralized soldiery, there never can be a peaceful or prosperous community. The one is perpetually acting and re-acting on the other, and giving rise to endless feuds and distrusts, which are the bane of the social system. We shall return to this subject as space and leisure may permit. " What nonsense," said the old Highlander, Cap tain G., " all the learning of -languages I'd go over the world with one phrase out of each. I travelled through France with Combien?' and through England with ' How much?' " An English critic writing from Florence on the sub ject of a new figure of Bacchus, recently executed by a cele brated Italian artist, says, that such a starveling duty is a much fitter representative of a god of vinegar than of wine. NEW RIVER.-According to some recent investi gations, it appears that the quantity of water pumped up by the New River Company at the New River Head, to a height of 60 feet above that level, making a total height of 144 feet above the level of the Thames, was for the year 1833, on an average, 2,100,932 imperial gallons per diem ! _ . _ . - FINE WRITING.—A writer in a provincialjour nal, extolling the quality of the year's growth of Farnham hops, says, "they were never better in colour and condition, and will as far eclipse those of other places, as the light of gas, which now brilliantly illumines our shops, does that of the glimmer afforded by candles." A NUMEROUS PROGENY.—There lives at present at Patrick an old lady, aged 86, whose progeny amounts to the following :---13 children, 63 grandchildren, 78 great grandchildren, and 1 great-great grandchild.--Total 155. The parties lately met at Patrick, in the house of the vene rable matron, who is in pretty good health, for the purpose of placing on her aged knee her last young friend—the great great grandchild. The meeting is described to have been a very happy one.—Glasgow Courier. • Colonel Udny, of Udny, has, we understand, in conjunction with a number of the feuars, and many respectable farmers, in the neighbourhood of the thriving village of New burgh, had the great natural basin of the river Ythan, which skirts that village, surveyed by Mr. Gibb, engineer, with the view of forming landing wharfs, deepening the navigation channel, and otherwise rendering this sheltered basin fit for the accommodation of a larger class of shipping than can fre quent it at present. The execution of this scheme will no doubt, prove most beneficial to that district of country, as it will enable the agriculturists to receive their supplies of lime and coal with greater facility, and to ship off grain and cattle, at more moderate expense than they can at present. — Aberdeen [Jerald. REGISTRATION OF ELECTORS FOR THE COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX-(THIS DAY•) This morning Messrs. KE d COVENTRY held their Courts of Revision for-the County at Guildhall.
