At a MEETING of the COMMITTEE of " The PRO TESTANT SOCIETY for the PROTECTION of RELI GIOUS LIBERTY," held at the King's Head Tavern, Poul try, on April '29, 1839. JOHN MELLOR, Esq., in the Chair. It was Resolved, I. That this Society, in their co-operation with other op ponents to slavery, and other friends to Negro Emancipation have been mainly inspired by their hopes, that the progress of Education, of Social Happiness, of Christian Truth, and of Re ligious Freedom, would be the satisfactory and glorious result of all the labours and sacrifices that might be endured. 2. That they have observed with indignation and regret, proportionate to such efforts and such hopes, the conduct pur sued in Jamaica since August last, by the refusal of the Colo. nial Assembly to carry on their legislative functions—by the unjust treatment of the negro population—and by the calum nies circulated against Sir Lionel Smith, the enlightened and noble-minded Governor—against the upright Stipendiary Ma gistracy—and against the Baptist and other Missionaries, whose exertions have been most disinterested, and whose benevolent and Christian principles have been often and honourably shown. And 3. That this Committee perceiving that an unrestrained allowance of such eonduct, by her Majesty's Government and the British Legislature, would greatly retard, even if it should not perfectly frustrate, the enjoyment by the negro population of the blessings so dearly purchased and hardly won,—must ex press their fervent desire that by the Bill now before the House of Commons, respecting the Government of Jamaica, or 13) some effective statute, the Parliament will forthwith interpose to suspend the Constitution of the Island, and adapt it to exist ing circumstances—will avert the threatening ruin of the Co lony—and will promote the consummation of the benefits which the wise and good of all Denominations, have long and laudably laboured to obtain :—and especially as the neglect of immediate interference would obviously tend to revivify the unchristian feuds and the persecuting intolerance, which heretofore occa sioned cruel sufferings, and loud and just complaints. - JOHN WILKS, Hon.

The reputation in which READ'S PATENT HY DRAULIC MACHINES are held, has induced some unprin cipled adventUrers (who never knew the use of a Garden Ma chine) to' palm upon the Public BASE IMITATIONS as " IMPROVEMENTS" on Read's Patent. Their pretensions would have been more reasonable if they had first made them as good. J. READ, during thirty-one years' practical experi ence in gardening, first invented the above for his own use, and has since spent nineteen years in manufacturing and improving them, for which improvement he has obtained Patents for the United Kingdoms. These improvements consist ..f a peculiar arrangemeat of the Valves within the Cylinder, surrounded by an Air Vessel to protect them from injury. Manufactured only by the Patentee, 35, Regent Circus, Piccadilly, London. None are genuine except stamped with the words " READ'S PATENT." PERSONAL ADVANTAGES—The pos session of Nature's best passport to favourable reception, a Clear Skin andßright Complexion, is obtained and preserved with pleasing facility by the use of LOWLAND'S LOTION, a remedy especially recommended to those who are subject to Cutaneous Irritability at the return of Spring, 'by a successful experience of Eighty Years.

THE PROPRIETORS OF " THE WEEKLY CHRO NICLE" TO THE PEOPLE OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE. The Proprietors of the " WEEKLY CHRONICLE," en couraged by the still increasing prosperity of their Journal, hava determined upon the publication of a series of Portraits, ENGRAVED ON STEEL, To be called collectively " THE NATIONAL GALLERY;" this title being adopted from the conviction that any other name, less comprehensive, would be found unworthy of the extent and high purpose of the undertaking, as well as of the surpassing beauty w►th which it will be earned out. The ap pearance of " THE NATIONAL GALLERY," whether considered as a work of art, or with reference to its easy posses sion by the very humblest of the land, will form a■ extraordi nary epoch in the history of the English Press. OBJECTS OF THE WORK. The purpose of the Proprietors of "THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE" is to assemble In " THE NATIONAL GAL LERY," the Portraits of those Public Men who have most dis tinguished themselves during the present century ; and whose labours, whether in the field or the senate, have exercised the greatest influence upon the age in which they live. In addition to these will be given the most distinguished Women of the Court of Queen 'Victoria ; with whose own Portrait the Gal lery would naturally have commenced, but for the circumstance of its having been so s ecently presented to the Readers of the " WEEKLY CHRONICLE." The Publication of the GAL lo ing or DUKE OF WELLINGTON. LORD GREY. SIR R. PEEL. MR. WIL➢ERFORCE. Loan DURHAM. ,ERY will proceed in the fel ler : LORD LYNDHURST. MR. O'CONNELL. DUCHESS OF NORTHUMSER LAND. LORD LEICESTER. LORD SPENCER. THE QUEEN DOWAORR. SIR JAMES GRAHAM. MARQUIS OF LANSDOWNE. LORD FITZWILLIAM. LORD STANLEY. LORD MoRrETII. THE SPEAKER. HER MAJESTY. LORD MELBOURNE. DUCHESS OF KENT. Lean JOHN RUSSELL. DUCHESS OP SUTHERLAND. MARQUIS OF NORMANRY. LORD BROUGHAM. MODE OF PUBLICATION. To each Portrait will be appended an impartial Biographical Memoir, printed on imperial hot-pressed pat* uniformly with the Engraving. A Portrait will be published every other Sa turday, the Memoir being issued every alternate week—hence, a Monthly Part will contain Two Engravings, with Two Me moirs. To those subscribers desirous of possessing THE NA TIONAL GALLERY, the price of THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE will be that of other papers—namely, Six pence. To those, however, should there be such, who may prefer the Paper without the Engraving or Memoir, tho pries will be as at present, Fourpence-halfpenny. THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE NATIONAL GALLERY. A Portrait will be delivered with a Paper on the payment of One Shilling; and at the same time a Ticket, which will en title the holder to a Paper and a " Memoir," en the foll.vving week, for " nothing. " The first number •f " The N a ti ona l Gallery" will be published on the Ist of July next, and the cor responding Memoir on the Bth ; so that in each alternate week there will be given a Portrait or Memoir. The work will form a magnificent annusl volume its imperial quarto—a volume not to be purehaied, at the present time, at loss than Five Guineas. Every precaution bas been taken lsy the Proprietors to be pro vided with a supp!y—great as the demand must necessarily be— by the erection of steam machinery on the premises, at the out lay of several thousand nounds. tinecuriens o. tne Portraits will be found at the principal Newsvenders throughout the United Kingdom. That of his Grace the Duke 4sf Wellington may, together with a Memoir, be received by all Agents by the 20th of April. ARTISTS ENGAGED FOR THE WORK. The Proprietors feel that they have only to give the names of Havter, Chalon, Latina, and Stewart, as the Painters em ployed- for the NATIONAL GALLERY, to at once assure themselves of the conficisive of the public, not only as to the worth and beauty of the forthcoming work, but as to the feel ing which animates the Projectors in this national enterprise. Among the Engravers will be found the names of Finden, H. Robinson, Mote, Cook, Wagstaff, W. Holl, Brown, Hall, &c. &c. &c. Hence, the Publishers have, they conceive, given suiliicent harranty that no considerations of cost have weighed with them in their attempts to make the NATIONAL GAL LERY worthy of its ambitious title. All that modern art can effect will bo lavished on the undertaking►. The same pencils, the same pavers, employed to minister to the tastes of die highest and richest in the land, will labour for the gratification of the humblest Englishman—the painter for the Court will Ise tho painter for the Cottage. MORAL INFLUENCE OF THE WORK. The Projectors of the NATIONAL GALLERY feel that their contemplated enterprise involves deeper and nobler consi derations than may superficially present themselves. It is scarcely possible that a work of such an extent, executed with all the high refinements of art, should not assert a great moral influence—an influence working for good; and tending at once to improve the mind, and elevate the taste of the people. In the NATIONAL GALLERY the Englishman will be con tinually reminded of the greatness, and of the consequent value of his country ; of her gigantic power—her moral might— her triumphs over rival nations. He will read in the lives of Englishmen, the irresistible force of British valour—the calm, comprehensive, and determined resistance to wrong —the advo cacy of the most sacred rights of our most common nature—which fo in the basis of oar national character. All the ennobling sentiments that constitute the lofty-minded soldier —the wise and generous Statesman—the Patriot—and the Philanthropist, will be felt and acknowledged by our readers ; and thus, in the projected publication, every subscriber to " The National Gal lery" of " The Weekly Chronicle," will have the gratification of possessing at the most tailing cost the most perfect record of his country's glory. All persons desirous of receiving this magnificent work with regularity and certainty, should immediately give their orders to the various News-agents and Booksellers throughout the Kingdom —a method rendered indispensable from the impossi bility of making any arrangements, in so gigantic an undertaking for the supply of casual subscribers. To the regular Subscribers of the" Weekly Chronicle" this gallery is presented gratis. To non-subscribers the price of one Portrait will be 11. Is-6d. Separate Portraits on India paper, 21. 2s.

Suit of Olive £4 10 Ditto of Blue and Black Ditto of Imperial Saxon Pair of Summer Trowsers from Summer Waistcoats from STOPPAGE OF THE IMPERIAL BANK. MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING. We regret to have to announce the suspension of pay ments by the Imperial (Joint Stock) Banking Com= pany, whose head office is in this town. The report was circulated on 'Change this morning, and the rumour speedily spread throughout the town. The result was that a slight "run" was caused, and to all appli cants for cash payments, the answer was, " call again at three o'clock this afternoon." Three o'clock came, and many anxious creditors went doubtingly to the Bank, where the awful truth of the morning's rumour was too truly confirmed by the appear ance of a note on the inner door, informing the public that the Bank had suspended payment " for the present." The stoppage is attributed to the refusal on the part of the London Correspondents, (Messrs. Prescotts) to honour the paper of the Im perial bank, but nothing authoritative is known upon this head. The bank commenced business on the 26th December, 1836, with eight branches, and has latterly been the theme of conversation amongst the " scandal mongers," with reference to some of its transactions. It had been in a tottering condition for two or three days, and some statements made before the Commissioners under the fiat in bankruptcy against Mr. Joseph Lees, of Newton-moor, near Ashton-under-Lyne, have been " buzzed about" within the last few days, and caused considerable discussion. Not a little " table talk" has been afloat for the last fortnight respecting the forthcoming disclosures at the meeting of the shareholders of the Northern and Central Bank, which takes place to-morrow, with respect to the " split" which has recently taken place amongst some of the officials in that concern. The meeting has been convened by circular in the usual course. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (LLOYD'S.)

The houses were shaken, and the oscillation lasted about twelve seconds. In the port, the sensation was experienced by those on board the vessels, but it was not felt by those on board the vessels in the roads. The inhabitants rushed out of their houses, and it was feared that they would fall into ruins, but happily no injury was done. There were two shocks ; the first a slight, and the second a very severe one. Great imptovements have recently been made at Algiers, and se veral new villages have been built.

The Morning Chronicle of this day, in the course of a leading article advocating Mr. Rowland Hill's plan of I uniform penny postage, says :—" Probably no instance ever yet occurred of a tax so universally objectionable and inex pedient as that of the present heavy rate of postage. unites by a marvellous combination the different species of mischief, each of which has usually been deemed a suffi cient plea for urging the repeal of en impost." Is another article on the Jamaica question, our Contemporary observes that any one who looks carefully and calmly at what the state of society has been in Jamaica, and at the form of Government which has existed there, cannot but perceive that the Assembly has been, is, and in the nature of things must be, the very result and representa tive of slavery. And this is the body to which we are to commit the great task of educating and impro vini, a people newly born into freedom, as it were 1 At war with the Parliament, at war with the Government, at war with the missionaries, at war with the negroes—to the paternal care of this benignant body, with the fostering aid of its militia, are we to hand over the captives, ransomed with our spare cash, at the bidding of the only individual with whom they are not at war—Sir Robert Peel ? The truth is, this Assembly ought never to have been allowed to survive the system out of which it was compounded, and of which it was a part. It ought to have been put an end to in 11533, by an Act supplementary to the Act for the abolition of slavery. When we left this Assembly in existence, we bad scotched the snake, but not killed it." The Times, speaking of Mr. Warburton's numerous di. visions last night on the Copyright Bill, remarks :—" We readily admit bat unless Mr. Sergeant Talfourd had fixed this Bill for a Wednesday, he would not have had the least chance of having it discussed at all, or advanced a single stage. If Mr. Warburton will look at the matter, as we have looked at it, we think he will arrive at the same conclusion ; taking at the same time no shame to himself, as we take none, for suspecting smuggling on a smuggling day ; for the reader must understand that, from time immemorial, all sorts of jobs have been carried through the House of Commons on a Wednesday. With regard to the merits of the measure, our opinions ate un changed. It is obviously either a useless or a mischievous piece of legislation, and in either ease, ought not to pass. Our only obj.‘ct in there observations has been to relieve Mr. Sergeant Talfourd from the imputation of desiring to smuggle it through she House." In another leading article on the subject of the Jamaica measure, our Con. temporary states as follows :—" When you suspended the Constitution of Canada, the Assembly had refused the supplies, and their partizans were in open arms against the Mother Country. But in Jamaica there has been no insurrection among the people, and no refusal of supply by the Assembly. Therefore, in Jamaica you have not, what in Canada you had, the excuse of an extreme case to jut. tify your own extremity. The Canadians bullied to en force organic changes ; the only intention of the Jamaicans was in resisting them. But if they had been ten times more in fault than they have, what business have you to ride over and trample them, without first calling out to them, to keep upon the path ?" The Morning Post, commenting on the Jamaica ques tion, makes the following observations:—" Suppose it be true that the House of Assembly in Jamaica has done what it ought to have done, let a corrective be applied most conformable with the Constitution under which we live, and with the stipulated terms upon which Jamaica has belonged to us for many years. We are not to yield to the planters of Jamaica, but neither are we to trample upon them. Supposing them to be in fault, what is de manded from the supreme Government is paternal correc tion, not the angry and injurious violence of an imperious master. A wise Government would take care to make the planters of Jamaica obedient, but it would also take care to avoid making them enemies." The Morning Herald remarks as follows on the conduct of Messrs. Warburton and Wakley last night in the House of Commons, as regards the Copyright question :—" The Members for Finsbury and Bridport are well disposed to pick the pockets of literary men : they are most anxious, an fact, to withhold from men of intellect hose advantages, in the form of fair play, without which literature and science can never prove other than losing games to their profes . sors. Messrs. Warburton and Wakley are champions of the aristocracy of the counter. They dread any legislative change that may place men of literary genius ou a level with the money.getting classes." In another article on the Metropolitan Police measure, our Contemporary ob. serves—" The Bill is dead already—dead as Lord Dur ham's Canadian dynasty, leaving about as fragrant a mem/ ory be! i d If the Coroner for Westminster sat upon ;ts remains, the verdict would be—Died by the Visita tion of Public Opinion l' SPORTING INTELLIGENCE NEWMAFtKET SECOND SPRING MEETING. Tuesday Night. The racing to• day was confined to the Rowley-mile plate, and a Handicip, of which we sent the results from the Heath. The weather was fine, and almost oppressively warm ; but the attendance, deducting the Cantabs and the market people, was small. The show of fashionables was so poor that at peesent it is not worth while to draw up a list. The betting-ring was of very moderate dimensions, and sreeulation at so low an ebb that we are unable to make acy Derby quotations. Of the two laces alluded to above the following are addi tional particulars :—llandicap—Mendizabal jumped of with the lead, but was soon headed by Gimcrack, who carried on the running into the cords ; bare Alendixabal went up and defeated him easily by half a length. Lord Exeter's filly was beaten off. H. M. Hale—Courier made nearly all the runn:ng. followed by Merganser and Express to the cords, where Mr. Rush's Sister to Pickwick took third place. Merganser now challenged Courier, made a fine race, but ran out from distress near the chair and was beaten a neck. Sister to Pickwick was third, and Hamlet last. An improvement, which cannot be too highly spoken of, has been effected en the race-course by enclosing the betting post within a circle 21 feet in diameter ; this not only affords great accommodation to speculators on foot, but, by widening the circle for equestrians, facilitates the progress of business, and prevents a good deal of the danger which arises from restive and kicking horses. Newmarket—WednesLv Afternoon. The only race in the list for this afternoon is a Handicap Plate, A. F., for which Colonel Peel's I-am-not. aware, 4 yrs., 7st. 91b., and Lord Tavistock's Gimcrack, 4 yes., 6'st. 71b. will start. As it would be ridiculous to send an express for so in significant a race, we shall defer particulars until our next. The nominations for the two-year old stakes to-morrow, are Lord Exeter's Raymond, Lord Stradbroke's !Hiss Romer and Mr. Rayner's T en -p oun d note. , That the entries for the plate, &c., have been so bad, is attributed to the Gorhambury races being fixed for next week, and for which a great number of horses are kept.

MRS.TROLLOPE'S c .MICHAEL ARMSTRONG, TUE FACTORY Boy."—The third number of this tale has made its appearance, and if from it and its predecessors any opinion may be formed with regard to the racrtts of the entire work, we incline to think that " Michael Armstrong" will be one of the most useful, if not the most amusing of Mrs. Trollope's productions, We hail with pleasure the employment of the talent of such a writer in the cause of humanity sad good morals. If the species of white slavery which has so long existed in British factories, under the protection of British law, does not quickly receive a severe shock, it will not be her fault. The exposure of the ini quities of tke system, by means of such a work, will do more to enlighten the public mind upon the subject thau months' speechification in the House a Commons. In the second number we are introduced to the family of Sir Matthew Dowling, a purae.proud, mammon-worshipping, cotton-knight, whose summum barium is the accumulation of wealth; and who, like the Pharisees of old, takes care to sound a trumpet before him when he is about to do a deed of charity. It contains some excellent conversation pieces, and one or two well-drawn, though perhaps some what over-coloured sketches of character.—Chellenham Chronicle. THIRD ED; TION OF LADY BULWER'S NO VEL.—Although not a month has elapsed since Cheveley, or the Man of Honour, was first published, the calls for the work have been so numerous and continued, as to have already produced a third edition. This is indeed fulfilling the prophetic language of the Ather.reum saying, that Cheveley " would make the town ring with the clamour of tongues," and fully bears out the strong tone of eulogy passed upon the work, calling " Cheveley one of the most brilliant fashionable Novels that has appeared for a very long time."— United Service Journal.

COSMOPOLITE IN ENGLAND."— The author of this amusing work, a gentleman of fortune, was taken at the early age of seven to France, where he continued to reside until his recent return to this, his native country. His " Odious Comparisons," as he facetiously calls them, arc between the characteristics of the two countries ; aid the freshness with which these strike him, often render them highly ludicrous and amusing. Whatever were the author's impressions, he writes them down on the instant, and thus casts the reflezion of his own lively imagination on the objects by K hich he is surrounded. We have seldom met with more entertainment in a small compass, than Mr. Best has here afforded.

Grant, contains important 5tAt0................, ................, The papers relating to the Negro Population, receintly ptesented to Parliament, afford a striking illtistrAion of the difference bAwcen passing an Act nf Parliament and the practical working of its provisions. The frh; n d s of freedom rejoiced in the cltinction of slavery by the Emancipation Act, but in oasaing that Act we created a new world—a new people —at all events a new so ciety, requiring a degree of legislative exertion, rot to be expected but from the most enlizbteßed pa triotism, indefatigably directed by earnest and lion,st zeal, The accursed system of slavery, entwined as it was with all the social institutions and relations cf our West India colonies, sanctioned by the Legislature, strengthened by the usages of daily life, end continued by the natural distinctions of colour and race, had 10,:•come a part of the substance of life itself, a thing whiali like the presence of evil, for the moral world, seemed inse parable from existence. And )et, the ramnation of the state of things was it:trusted to the Jamaica As sembly, to a !et of beings most deeply imbued with the baneful influences to be removed. The proceedings of the Assembly have dissipated the delusive hope which the gene•rosity of the British people induced it to form of the disinterestedness and Lenctv of that body. They can no longer be entrusted with the awful duty of fostering these influences by which, as well as by nacre legislative enactment, the new society is to receive its moral direction. So vast a change as that by which the West Indian Islands have been visited must be carefully watched its progress, for th e l eg i s l at i ve powers of r the Colonial Government are still in the hands of the enemy of emancipation, end unless the Parliament of England shi,ll exhibit courage and energy in sustaining the law which they have passed, their efforts in the eatse of freedom will be defeated altogether. That the suspen sion of the Constitution of Jamaica, and the substitu tion of some temporary form of Government as pro posed by Lord John Russell, are bold and decisive measures—not to be adopted without great caution and upon satisfactory grounds —we are perfectly ready to concede ; but if such caution be exercised, and such grounds exist, then the friends of negro emancipation cannot be too grateful to his Lordship for exhibiting in the face of an insidious opposition a determination that the Emancipation Act shall effect all that it was in tended to effect, and not become a fraud upon public benevolence. Considering the immensity of the change produced by tilt.? Fosnancipation Act, and the thousand predictions of fearful consequences so busily circulated by the West Indian interest, the first question about which the friends of emancipation would naturally feel anxious, would be the negro's reception of freedom ; and the immediate ef fect upon his social and moral condition thereby produced. On these points there is abundance of contradictory evidence in the papers to which we referred at the be ginning of this article. We have the planters, the at torneys, and the managers of estates on one hand, growling again in full chorus, and tolling as facts what they told long ago as prophecies, their gloomy tales of idleness and dissipation among the negroes—devasta tion and ruin among themselves. On the other hand, we have the unprejudiced Report of the Special Ma gistrates, from which we confess that, notwithstanding a few drawbacks, we are inclined to draw even more fa vourable conclusions than our most sanguine hopes had pictured. The oft-repeated charges and complaints of the parties interested in the continuance of slavery, and the verification of their own predictions, we shall at present leave unnoticed, and shall close our obserta dons with a few extracts from the papers before us, having reference solely to the conduct and bearing of the emancipated people of Jamaica. At the same time, we would anxiously impress upon our readers the de sirableness of a reference to the documents themselves, that they may see how nobly the Government exerted itself to carry the Emancipation Act into effect, and how ably and earnestly their endeavours have been se conded by the Governor of Jamaien. In a dispatch addressed to Lord Glenelg, on the 27th July, 1838, the Governor says : I returned to Kingston on the 24th Lg., having visited the precinct of St. Thomas in the East, the parishes 01 1 ) Portland, Sr. George's, St. Mary's, St. Ana's, Tre lawney, St. James's, Hanover, Westmoreland, and St. Elizabeth's ; and on the 25th inst. I visited the inland parishes of St. Andrew's and Port Royal Mountains. In all these parishes, I can assure your Lordship, I found the negro population well prepared for freedom, and nothing could exceed the enthasiasm ssith which they everywhere received tno, and their loyalty and gratitude to the Queen's Government. I addressed them in every p a . nisi', and generally in the terms of advice contained in the Proclamation, which produced the good et-Feet of removing from their minds many doubts ou their future rights and interests. They all expressed a determination to work, sad scorned to understand well the consequences of idleness. The negrots are well advised of the value of their labour and I am satisfied that they will not be imputed upon by employers, or be unreasonable in their own demands for wages. Your Lordship is too well acquainted with the character of the numerous small planters in this island, to form the conclusion, that we shall get over this change of oondition among the labourers without some attempts of petty op pressions, incredible as such an evil course would seem, with reference to mutual interests. These small owners and overeeers when not properly controlled, arc giving the labourers notices to quit the properties, and arc creating a great deal of discontent and uneasiness, knowing their attichment to their houses; this has generally been done with the hope of reducing the value of labour, but I do not think it will be camud to any great extent, or that the experiment will be long persevered in. I hope yet to be able to visit all the remaining parishes before the Ist of August, but some arc so inaccessible from bad roads, I may not be able to accomplish it through all ; and from what I have already seen, there is not the smallest cause for uneasiness as to the conduct of the free labourers throughout th e i s l an d ; they will b e peaceable and indes trious where they have common encouragement and fair treatment. Such was the result of the Governor's personal ob servations a few days before the Colonial Act of final emancipation came into operation. Our remaining ex tracts refer to a subsequent period, and are taken froth the Reports of the Special Magistrates. It will be seen that where there is an excoption to the favourable result of the recent changes, the fault generally lies no t with the labourers, but with their employers. Air, Daly (Feb. 15,1839) says 0f the orderly conduct of the peasantry I am enabled to bear the most ample testimony, and, indeed, in the good report of the industry of the labourers I ant borne out by the current opinions of some gentlemen of considerable ex,. perience, from whose names I quote with pleasure that of Mr. Joseph Gordon and Mr. James Cockburn, the former admitting himself perfectly sati,fied with the work on hie estates, and the latter quite pleased with the great im provement in the conduct of his peasanty; and with a little patience I am confident that all will speak in terms of sa tisfaction ; but the truth is, the persons who have hitherto commanded the services of the people feel maw ilifficelty in treating them now upon the general terms of free people at liberty to bargain with their employer without control on matters connected with their intercom. 1 hese feelings will, I trust, soon subside, and a general confidence will, I am sure, then be restored. Mr. Finlayson and Mr. Facey (Jan., LAM) say— On some estates much discontesit and ill-feeling kayo been excited by serving the labourers with notices to quit, by ejecting them from their houses, and by the wanton destruction of their provision grounds. This has been, particularly the case at Springaiount, Palmy ra , P orto b e ll o , Ironsliore, Spring, Tyrall, Worcester, Kirkpatrick flail and Fairfield. Upon a nntniDer of properties in the garish there will probably be a falling off in the quantity of sugar, from the delay and neglect of cultivation alroutly alladed to. But upon estates where the managers have been tair and liberal, such ai 13;uchole, Spring Garden, and others, an increase is expected. The people have been orderly and peaceable in thrtr conduct. Mr. Walsh (12th Feb., 1839) says— In every instance in which they have been- mot with a disposition to dishonesty, severity, and rudeness on the pert of the owners and overseers, a most lattiontable falling off to such people's success has been the result ; while some management has gliaktd into a healthy and free condition ; otlicr6 again, from extortion, ignorance, obstinate and N. , - bellious principles, have already ruined the estates ear. trusted to their care by the unlucky alneutee proprietor and mortgagee. I say unlucky in their representatives only. V tiro proprietors, &c., will apply x quick rinnedy, the it,jured estates will, and must, from the disposition of the people, regain their stand in the market; this can only be done by a conciliating method in business, honesty in p ur p ose, an d a self.interest for the owner of the sail. The following letter from the Rev. S. It Stewart to Mr. Grant, one of the Special Magistrates, will be read with great interest : WV.
