FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 21, 1838. t:3" T 4• Publication of the STANDARD commenced this morning at 5 o'clock. TUB WEsr INDIES.—By her Majesty's packet Pan dera, which arrived at Falmouth on the 15th instant, we have received advices and papers from the West Indies to the 25th ultimo. The dates reach down to the 16th ult. from Jamaica, to the 11th from Barba does, to the 25th from St. Thomas', and to the 27th of July from Demerara. The only news of importance brought by this packet is, the account of the final emancipation of the apprentices on the Ist of August. This event, which has been the cause of the most in tense anxiety among all persons interested in the *fairs of our • West Indian colonies, seems to have plumed of satisfattorily on the whole. We are con eerned to add that Jamaica, the most important island of all,•forms an exception to this statement. From the very contradictory reports contained in tha- papers which have reached us we find it extremely difficult to give any thing like an impartial statement of facts relating to the abrogation of the apprentice- These journals, advocating as they do different and, at the same time, conflicting interests, treat of the subject in such exaggerated terms, that we can adopt no better plan than that of submitting to our readers such extracts as seem to us most faithful and dispas sionate, without any reference to their political bear ing. From,Jamaica we have received a private com munication, in which the conduct of the Governor, the S tipendiary magistrates, and the Baptist missionaries Is very strongly impugned. We are likewise informed that the'negroes on many estates had refused to work at all, insisting upon a much higher ...rate of wages than could possibly be afforded by the planters. In this determination they were chiefly encouraged by the Baptist missionaries, among whom we learn that the Rev, Mr. Knibb is an active agitator. This gen tleman holds out a threat that, unless his extravagant demands are forthwith complied with, he will come o ver to England to procure a redress of the "wrongs" under which he asserts the negroes are suffering. We have repeatedly expressed our conviction that the abo litionists would not rest satisfied with the mere anni hilation of slavery in the West Indies. Recent events have strengthened this impression. We have every reason for believing that a fresh series of annoyances and acts o f persecution will be commenced against the planters, who have been already brought to the verge of ruin by the aggressive proceedings of those who assum e to themselves the character of " friends of the negro." There is every reason to apprehend that the enactment of a code of sumptuary- laws, to regulate the , wages o f the negroes jects whi c h t h ese parties , will be one of the first ob es will seek to accomplish. The unreasonableness of such a proposition, however, is so self-evident, and its trust the legislature gross i n j ustice so glaring, that we of G reat Britain will never con sent to it s becoming a law. What would be thought of an attempt to interfere in like manner between em. ?Layers and workmen in this country ? Would it not be pronounced at once an act of the most insane ty ranny ? Would it not be scouted by every rational 3 uhject ? Yet such is the plan which the. Baptist mis lionaries and other incendiaries in the island of Ja in alea have distinctly avowed their intention of carry ing into effect. In advocating a high rate of wages, aid advi s i ng t h e negroes to desist front working until these demands are complied with, the negro must ne C ' e ,. "sully be th e greater su ff erer. Indeed, the condi ;tow of the n egro , in every respect, is now much worse .44 wax under the apprenticeship, when they were „ rid tr no degr ee o f anx i ety as to the maintenance of b'llemselves and th e i r f am ili es . M any o f t h em h ave e ee n already compelled to acknowledge that this is the . 11". 'lLnipecting the motives of th e ag it a t ors w h o " re now endeavourina to influence them it is painful t° speak r plainly. The dissenting ministers in Ja i?4iea have been hitherto very liberally supported by negroes, who, unless rewarded by a much higher r a te o f wages titan is justified by the circumstances of 'le planters, cannot contribute so largely towards the ftiiiaintenance of these individuals. This, we are con h de ntlY info rme d b y severa l of the j ournals wh i ch we it !" received, i s t h e secret mot i ve w hi c h prompts tri to exact f or t h e negrues an extravagant !ermine rat ion fur their labours. ° Cle Of th e most serious evils apprehended as a con :Netter of the complete emancipation of the ne g r oes it ' th e "squatting" system. „ It is feared that govern ent may be prevailed upon to grant large portions of It ulnclesed lands, esp ec i a lly i n J ama i ca , t o b e cul t:sted by the negroes. This would inevitably lead the ruin of th e pl anters, as i t i s we ll k nots n t h at the en'c ' ha ntr e h a bi ts of the negroes would lead them to pre. rn t the cultur e o f a p l ot o f l an d suff i c i ent for the i r own :' n tenan ce to t h e task of labouring for the j njoint be fit of the planter. In a climate s o favourable as that 4f tll ' West Indi es , bl esse d w i t h a so il so spon t ane u :'Y prolific, it would require very little exertion on ' lt Parl of th e negroes to Sa ti s f y their own wants. riti I " is ab un d antly proved by the example of St. Do- T u n g°, whe re t h e i n h a bi tants are proverbially idle. thin ~e th subdi v i s i on o f properties after the system of rd k-nttege All o t ment " p l an, so extens i ve l y adopt se n "Teral parts of E ng l an d, we d o no t see an y rou r Y fo rm i dable objection. This system has been h ire em inently successful in this country, and w e w e e . no do u b t t h at it might be introduced into the piari". t e ln dieg with v er y grea t a d vantage to b ot h t h e it i t I'B and th e i r l a b ourers, if the latter s h ould g i ve the preference. In England it has conduced to h as ir ' P r( "einent of the soil i n a v er y hi g h d egree . I t alsopo ptlt tended t o ra i se the character of the labouring ' llio n , by prese n ti ng a st i mu l us to i ncrease d dill gene whilst the landlords who have patronised the tal e have realised a larger income from their es tit. u let in large farms. Another great bene i witi e h (..411intic has accrued front this plan is, the striking li a „ ,"'n of the poor -rates in those districts into which b t fli e ; 'Ceti introduced. This system, we confidently du eed e ' in t t night be safely and advantageously _iwtro as n t he West Indies, under such regulations Ir i Z u e u ,, l : l :nsure, the i nterest o f t h e h o ld er o f the soil. rNa~e fins that some of the planters have al oetermined upon a quattin its adoption. But to tile plan ar e i „ g upon th e crown lan d s " we b e li eve t h ere s che the " s uperabl e objections, and we sincerely trust that me • may be CruStrated. the, tinvvilliegneaa of the negroez to work, and the demand for a high rate of wages upon which some of them insist, under the instructions 0 1 their pretended friends, we find a very excellent sum mary of news in the Times of Tuesday last. That journal treats of this subject in the following terms "Jamaica was in a state of some excitement, mote particularly on the north side, through the disinclina tion of the negroes to work, and disputes with their masters about the rate of wages to be paid in future since the total emancipation on the Ist. A great deal of coffee was ready for picking, but likely to be lost, it was said, from want of hands. The strike about wages seemed to be almost general in that district, and some Baptist ministers were loudly accused, it may be hoped on report only, of being the instigators of the blacks, two of them being named as having used very strong and exasperating languages in their discourses, advising the negroes to "let the canes rot upon the field, and the ships go home in ballast," sooner than take less than 2•. 6d. a-day; and one of them was said to have "dared his hearers to lift a hoe" under that sum. On the south side of the island, and to windward, the agitation was not so conspicuous, but there was an almost total cessation from labour. The domestic negroes in• the towns, or non-predials, were stated to be equally indolent and ungrateful in their demeanour towards their masters." Respecting the other colonies, the same journal re marks:—" The accounts from Barbados to the 12th ult., and from Demerara to the 28th of July, are much of the same tenour with respect to the diScontented and even threatening aspect of the enfranchised black population. It .had been judged expedient in Jamaica to publish an act passed in February last for the sup pression of riots and seditious meetings, but not pre viously made known, enforcing certain penalties of transportation where twelve or more persons should continue assembled after due warning and reading the act by the authorities On the question of wages, the planters themselves appear to be greatly undecided, and differ widely with respect to the rate of wages to be offered. In Demerara, the wages variously pro• posed as a standard rate range from three dollars to eight dollars per month, with allowance as usual, or according to a certain scale of food, lodging, clothing, and medical assistance. In one instance a planter proposed to pay ten dollars per month for the old scale of nine hours daily work, with a house for each family, as much land as could be cultivated in the extra time, and medical attendance for every effective labourer. Payment proportionate to be made fur extra or over hours work, with deductions in the same ratio when ever the work performed shall fall short of the agree ment. The Trinidad papers are to the Bth of August. The termination of the apprenticeship took place there on the Ist, according to the. decision of the council. adverted to on a former occasion, and was celebrated, as in the other colonies, as a day of thanksgiving. The negroes, so far, according to the papers, had not shown any particular spirit of insubordination. Some animadversions are made on the conduct of the govern ment, which, only one week before the emancipation was decreed, had issued a proclamation to the negroes, enjoining obedience to the apprenticeship law until its expiration in 1840. The general rate of wages agreed upon in Trinidad was 3s. per day, with the usual al lowance of salt fish, a house, and ground for the culti vation of provisions. It is proper to add, howe%er, that private letters do not speak so favourably of the conduct of the emancipated apprentices. " From the Ist to the morning of the sth of August," says one of these, " scarcely a sufficient number of persons, could be got to procure grass for the stot•k on some estates at Naparima." On several .estates none went to work in the fields., Some of those return ed from coco a to sugar cultivation were returning by gangss - to their old quarters. Many large properties were said to re main without labourers, and a great falling off in Fro duction was anticipated." " From Grenada, on the 9th and 11th of August, it is stated in pi vat-, setters that no disposition to work was evinced by the negroes, and that eleven days had already been spent in idleness. These accounts it may be hoped are somewhat exaggerated, so far as the apprehensions expressed for the future, by the feats and anxieties of the writers, not, under the circum stances, unaccountable. It may be loped that after a short time the excitement natural on passing from a state of qualified slavery to one of entire freedom may wear off, and that the exercise of good temper and sound discretion on the part of the planters may bring about a more harmonious agreement about the rate of wages and the hours of work, which will be, no doubt, the sorest part of the subject. In several cases, where the negroes had refused to work at all in Jamaica, they still retained, and insisted on retaining, posses sion of their houses and grounds, under some mis taken notion of right. But when they shall be unde ceived, it is probable that, rather than quit, they will be the more readily disposed to come to terms with their old masters." The Times of Wednesday has the following further remarks on the same subject :—" From the deep in terest naturally attaching to the state of the West India colonies at the moment when the late accounts came away, and the communication to-day of a variety of private and confidential correspondence from several of the islands, a recurrence to the subject may not be unseasonable. It may- be observed, that accounts from different islands not only differ from each other in various particulars, but even the• same difference exists in letters written from distinct localities in the same island. The individual character of the planters and the more or less degree of harshness with which the negroes have been formerly treated in their capa• cities as slaves or apprentices must, of course, exer cise no inconsiderable influence upon their present and future conduc►. The mere unwillingness to set to work in the first days of their delivetance from bondage ought not to create surprise, much less alarm ; in that respect they are acting only “like, overgrown children," whose school days are over, to whom holy days are a novelty, having become their own masters for the first time, with no possible curb to reduce then) to working discipline but that necessity which is the only certain inducement to industry with the people of all countries and colours. Under the actual circum stances of the negoes, it would appear to be only a question therefore of somewhat more time. Some not-unaccountable misconceptions were cur rent among them, which might serve also to retard an adjUstment of working contracts, for the _negroes believed that if they went into the fields and resumed work they would be bound in another al prenticeship for seven years. This arose, no doubt, from the fact, vaguely under stood, that once having contracted with the planters for a price and a period specified, they could be com pelled'by summary process to fulfil the stipulation, which, with their confined views of the nature o f a legal obligation, would naturally appear tantamount to a re-enactment of the apprenticeship. The conduct of some of the masters was not of a nature calculated to correct these rude misconceptions, or to sm,the - the remains of irritation arising out of past treatment. One of the letters from Barbados, front a party Whose bias would he with those of his own order, confesses that g a great deal of bad reeling is brought to bear against them (the negrees) by prejudiced priipriettos, and many have turned the people out 01 their houses for not working the very day after the Ist of August. All this is bad, and dwi imenthl to all iniet es s, sufficient to disgto-' ai't)y the mass of labourers.' Assuredly this was not the way considerate men would have acted at a moment when the great object should have been, by more than ordinary allowance for the first moments of a pardonable enthusiasm and excite ment, gradually to have calmed and brought down the emancipated blacks to their ordinary habits of labour. The writer of a sensible letter from St. Vincent's, of the 7th August, who seems by no means inclined to view the prospects of the planters in a very flattering light, from various other causes, thus expresses him self with respect to the negroes :—' The Ist of August, when our population, hitherto apprentices, was de clared free, passed over peaceably and orderly, giving good evidence of - the very improved condition and moral character of the neg,ro. The price offered by the planter, however,—viz., ls. 6d. per day, (this cur rency,) for all (query able?) persons, and Is. Od. re spectively for second and third class people, with use of house and provision grounds, and medical atten dance, has been rejected by Quashee as insufficient, and at present even those_ estates which had come under agreement to this effect have not been able to induce the people to work. Combination is evident, and some time, at all events, will ensue before matters are adjusted. I sincerely hope the new system will work well, but otir landed proprietor has much to con• fend with. Ido not regret having no stake in sucl pr. pert 5 .,• " `• As the same indisposition to resume work, and the same differences on the question of wages, were ap parent in all the islands at the same time, without the oossibility of concert and intercommunication, on the termination of the apprenticeship, the combination, if any such really existed, which does not seem improba ble, must have been arranged beforehand, and through other agency than that of the blacks themselves, who must clearly be incompetent to transactions so compli cated. It must not, however, be forgotten, that the conduct of the negroes in the Crown colonies, where the intention of total emancipation was kept profoundly secret, and even the contrary resolution of letting the apprenticeship run out its legal term made manifest and officially published within a week of the decree of emancipation, was in all circumstances precisely simi lar-to that of their brethren elsewhere, with whom they could have held no communication, as not expecting to be placed in the same position. " The state of affairs in Trinidad, one of these Crown colonies, is represented by a respectable resi dent by no means in the same gloomy colours as given in the papers: In this letter, dated on the 10th of August, he says, " The Ist of August w Is a high church day throughout the colony for thanksgiving and prayer. The labouring classes generally went to their work on the Monday following; the wages are 3s. currency, or about is. 2J. sterling per day; some give 31b. of fish i 1 addition per week, and others do not. Nothing could be more orderly than their conduct and behaviour have been since the Ist. I was instrumental in carry ing the measure, and now•that it is clone, people begin to be satisfied with the plan that has been adopted, and which has prevented anarchy, confusion, and a passive resistance, under which we should have been compelled to do that which we have now done Of our own free good will, and we have parted good friends to meet . each other on a new and, I am satisfied, better system." From what follows it will appear tire writer was no partisan of the abolitionists, but it mac be useful to quote it as a fair specimen of the sentiments of his class in the colony, and not, therefore, unworthy - of attention. It is undoubtedly desirable now, for the promotion of peace and the best interests of all concerned on both sides, that no undue and prejudicial interfererne should he exerted between the planter and his workpeople. He continues—" But, will the government now let us alone ? I think some of the fanaticswho have nothing to lose will be hatching some new plots against us; they will not cause the government to prohibit the importa lion of sugar from slave countries; no, that would touch their pockets : but the government now ought to foster, and not to harass, the Inhabitants of the West Indies. It (the emancipation of the Ist) will make a difference to me of £5OO sterling for the first year, but then tire system will be better and no heart burnings." The recriminatory expressions, and the indirect attack against the admission of foreign slave grown sugar, are excusable, as hasty ebullitions in a moment of excitement ; but it is not the less true that if the West India colonies are not to be thrown away, the great interests involt ed in their well-being are entitled loan possible protection at the hands of govern ment short of the sacrifice of other interests not less valuable. "Jamaica, according to the public accounts, ap peared to he in the greatest agitation of any island, yet thete really seemed no cause fur despair, as the following extract of a letter to his correspondent at Kingston from an extensive proprietor and attorney (agen ) in the'patish of St. Thomas in the• Vale would show " • We are now on the 8111 attic month (August,) and not a person at field labour in the parish o n sugar estates. The people are mad, and I think likely to continue so until all their nviney is gone. They are quite aware that they ale Wide for rent, but would rattle' decline paling any. They talk of ss. a.day for wages: it will be some tune ere the re sources of tin; fine colony are developed at this rate, but I at2ree with you that the blacks are likely to become a fine peasantry by and by, when they understand their new anal true position. Alas ! for our canes in the meantime; while the grass (weeds) grows the canes die."' "A prominent subject of uneasiness in all these letters and accounts is the ditninished amount of pto duct ion which mar be feared in succeeding years under the new system, and the impossib;lity of competing in prices with foreign sugars, truer - the high wages likely to be demanded by the neg roes and paid, coupled w ith the reduced bounty on the export of refined sugar,--a measure, it is observed, which, however, the rates of wages will reach their fair, level, and the expehses of the manufacture of sugar, all former incidental casual ties allowed for, will be found probably not to exceed the proportion in die days of slave labot;r." . . At Jamaica it was ;fated that the negroes on the Marquess of Sligo's property had struck f o r wages, and declared that !hey would not return to !about unless they received 2s. 6d. or 3s. per day. - This affords a striking proof the s-ort of popularity enjoyed by a " liberal lord." The Marquess hascontri but ed, perhaps, more than any other individual to bring about the emancipation of the apprentices—and he now meets with his reward. Complaints are made in all the colonies of the scar city of small change, and the necessity for a large sup ply to be provided by government from home, now that so much would be wanted for wages. The Bank of British Guiana appears to have pros pered considerably, and had declared a dividend of 6 per cent., after leaving a rest of 21- per cent. on their subscribed capital. Fifty per cent. of the capital of that hank had been p a id upon 6000 shares, and every confidence appears to be placed in the institution. We subjoin a few extracts from the various West Indian journals:— ( From the Royal Gazette of Aug. 4.) FREEDOM.—The Jubilee is past. That day so dreaded by all connected with the British West India Colonies—when the grand national experiment, of liberating hundreds of thousands of bondsmen, and allowing them to enter into 'all the privileges of freemen, is happily passed away. The last remnant of slavery has been dissipated, and as time waits for no man, as it glides swiftly and regularly on, so the hour on which shivery was to cease, approached, arrived, went, and the next hour beheld our people freemen in every sense of the word. Thank God! there is no restriction, nothing to fetter the liberated slave. He is free to roam where the canopy of heaven 'overhangs the British dominions—he is free as the eagle on the wing. and no man can comma him —his fetters are unbound, broken, snapt asunder, by the wisdom of our legislature—and he is now only amenable to the laws of God and his country. THE FESTIVITIES.—EarIy on the afternoon of the 31st of July, our usually quiet city began to be in commotion, and numerous parties were seen proceeding to the Race Course, to inspect the preparations for the festivities of the evening. Towards dusk a large concourse of the rabble collected to gether, and with fife and drum, and two or three flags, pro ceeded from tile Parade to the Race Course, where, soon after, rockets were sent up, anti fire-works exhibited for the amusement of the people; a very excellent transparency was shown, and a miserable attempt at such a thing was also ex hibited on the Parade. Towards ten o'clock, almost all had retired, some to court the sleeping God, others to the chapels, to watch the hour when freedom shou Id be ushered in, and no vestige of slavery remain in Jamaica, while a few kept la! la! la! ing, to the disturbance of the more sober citizens, with their noise. The 2,1, like the clay before, was still and silent as the grave. Towards midday, however, our late apprentices and crowds of people were again seen approaching the scene of festivity. The Ist of August came, and the sun which rose that morning shed its lustre on a tree country. All wars hushed as the Sabbath, and the Church bell gave warning that the llouse of God was open, to allow all ranks to return thanks. and give praise for the glorious day. The day passed in quietness—the churches and chapels were well attended, and pothinv, but the occasional burst .of those who had been re galed and were making merry towards the evening seemed to interrupt the calm and peacetui state of the city. From the Royal Gazette of Atty. THE STATE OF THE Isi.ANH.—lt is with sincere regret that we have this week to deplore the lameniaide state of ex citc went which pervades some districts or the country, and the pervei sett ess and obstinacy which betrays itself in the minds of most of our people. Goaded as they are by those who ought to preach peace and forbearance, we cannot but condemn in the most severe terms the manner o hich the Baptist missionaries have conducted themselves, at a period .chin they ought to have been most guarded in preventing those over whom they have the most unboonded sway to act otherwise than in a manner in which no blame could base been attached to them. But what is the state of the island? •Proin almost every parish, accounts have been received 01 the total cessation from labour And from %vital cause? The ex , rbitant &mood for excessive wages. In almost every parish' 2s. 61., 3s. 4d., 01 5r . a Gay is de manded. eva g es which coital only he afforded by proprietors Making 3,4, or 500 hogsheads of sugar under the most favor able circumstances—whde those making 100 or 150 must be thrown up. Were it even possible to suppose the people could hold out for high wages, and that the planter would have to give in, the only manner in which it would be tiossi ble for the planter to exist, would he, by a complete reduc tion of the duties on sugar, without w h i c h h e would be ruined. This is not, however, at present the question. We have made such extracts from the Nortbside Papers as will show the excited and alarming state of the parish of Trelawny ; besides which our private letters state, "that Mr. Oughton (a Baptist Minister) has publicly told the people to let the canes rot upon the field aud the ships go home in ballast, sooner than take one Farthing less than 2s. 6d. per diem—and a congregation of 1500 men, heard a Minister of the Gospel speak in the most disrespectful terms of the proprietors at home, and dare his members to lift a hoe under 2s. 6d. a day." Now we ask, is this a prudent course for a Minister of the Gospel, one who ought to be a messenger of peace, to pursue. We deprecate such conduct. We denounce the conduct of the Bev. Gen tlemen, Messrs. Knibb and Oughtun, as fraught with the ut most danger to this island, and what ought to engage the at tention of her Majesty's government. We understand that those Ministers who advocate the coursed peace and forbear ance, are unheeded and held up to ridicule and abuse. In fact we have it from the best authority, that even Mr. Bar chell is ashamed of aid reprobates t h e conduct. of his Bre thren on the Nor tliside of the island. It is said, that the ex citement at this time occasioned by the addreses of Oughton, is tremendous, and quite equal to that of Mr. Knibb. (From the Jamaica Despatch, Aug 6.) We have received a letter from St. Mary's, stating that many of the apprentices on a great number of the estates here have knocked off working for the two lait weeks, and are going about in a state of idleness. (From a Jamaica Paper of the 10th of August.) • We have rec,oivid the following information from n tor. respondent on whom we can rely, respecting the propertie, in the nei ,, ho.urhood ul Mont,go Bay , . It would app.-a, in. the greater number or the negroes have not let iesume their work in consequence, no d o ubt, of the ideas cramme into their heads by the dining religious agitators -of thd district. ESTATES AT WORK John's Hall, Worcester; Itelireinew . ,Fairfield; Catherin Mount, Bouge; Catherine Hall, Providence. The apprentices on these properties are mit king awa y cheerfully without knowing what remuneration they shati ceceive. On the following properties the men have refuse,. to work for less than Is 841. per day; some stand out fo, 25.6,1.; Potosi, Sutherland; Flatnstead Nets man, Hull; sp ring Mount, La, rum ; Logan; Kirkpatrick Leyden; Moir Park, Glasgow; Unity flat', Porto Bello. (From the Jamaica papers of the 14111 of August.) The all-engrossing subject at the present moinent is llt hire demanded by the Immuring population, and their re fosal in some parts of the island to tesume their labour except on exothitant terms; the excitement continues, and we to grit to perceive that one of the journals or this city is dis posed to create alarm in the mother country, by the doleful tales which it puts forth, and the uncheering prospects it holds forth to the proprietors ofJaminca property. The post has arrived and brought us intelligence ftom various parts of the island of the manner in which the Ist of August has passed off. As was expected, ail was quiet and peaceable, and there was less of noisy mil th than might have been anticipated on such an occasion. We learn from a gentleman who has returned from Man chester and Clarendon, that in the former parish the appren tices refused to labour for less than 2s. 641. per day, and that the fields are foul, and the coffee fast ripening; the prospe c t s of the planters are th ere f ore g l oom y. From Clarendo n the intelligence is gratifying; the people are reasonable, and ac cept terms. The excitement and rejoicing consequent upon the arriva of t he great day—the day of freedom—are over, and we hegit to experience the languor and lassitude which generally for low in their trains. The Jamaica Despatch says, Every fresh account from the country is unsatisfactory. A gentleman just returned from the country has supplied us with most unfavourable reports. In Manchester scarcely a soul had returned to field-labour, and in Clarendon, although the head cattlemen had been offered twenty pounds a-year, their houses, grounds, medical attendance, and promised four as sistants, which offer they had accepted, still they had left the properties, and have not since shown their faces. In the latter parish the coffee-fields were in ruins, the berries dropping on the ground, and the pimento ready for gathering, but no hands could be procured to reap the harvest. Sr. M ri es: —( Extract from a letter to a merchant.)—The holidays have passed over with extreme quiet and order. I have not heard of any rioting. I have forty people at work, and all the rest promise to be out on Monday. I ;give 2s. 6 , 1 per day for able hands, getting 55., or two days' labour for houses, gardens, and medical attendance. Ido not know a single other estate where they have turned out yet, and I have made very general inquiries. A correspondent of the same paper «•rites thus Though long prior to the Ist of . August we had our inis givings respecting the practicability of conducting estates under free labour. still we had hopes that the negroes, after enjoying a holiday of a few days, would le-commence their work for reaso able wages, but in this, I regret to say, we have been grievously disappointed; for so far from meeting the Itberal offers of their former masters, they maintain a dogged sullenness of disposition—making no reply to our offers, or giving any indication of a desire to %yolk. Nothing but ruin to the proprietors can be the consequence in the north side, from Manchioneal to Rio Bueno, iu which exten sive district. the canes are absolutely rotting in the fields— allthe planters would give high wages that this crop ;night be saved, but to continue cultivation at such rates as we would give for three mouths, for this special purpose, is absolutely impossible. Many estates, as is well known, were doing little more than paying their contingencies under the old system—affording a bate subsistence to the proprietors—how then are properties, making one hundred to one hundred and fifty hogsheads of sugar, to pay money' wages to the extent of £1 SOO to £2,500 per annum ; and large estates will be as high as £,000? It is utterly impossible, and the conse quenres must be, that loany properties will be thrown out of cultivation. and the proprietors for ever tuined. The following is from tile West Indian, Barbadoes paper, of August 2: — The conduct of the new "free men" yesterday, we rejoice to say, was most gratiting. The chinches and places of worship throughout the island were thronged by them at au early hour, and many could not obtain admission, although every accommodation which could be offered them was placed at their disposal. The sermon, a most excellent one, at the Cathedral, was preached by the Lord Bishop. His Excel• lency the Governor and suite attended divine service at the Cathedral—on his arrival and depai lure receiviin , the usual compliments from the flank companies of the Royal Regi ment. (From the Barbadoes Papers of the 7th of Aug. to the 13th ) "No intellioence has reached us from the cottony since out last, bad or indifferent.

The len,!th of our present article precludes us front noticing several other interesting topics connected with the present prospects of the %Vest Indies. We shall recur to the subject. POPISH TYRANNY IN NEWFOUNDLAND.—In another column will .he found the details of an atrocious syst em)) of persecution adopted by the Papist rabble of the Newfoundland House of Assembly. it is impossible to peruse these accounts tt it hout a feeling 'of irrepres.. sible disgust at the abominable conduct of the mis creants who hat e been suffered, for so long a period, to insult and trample upon the Protestant population of that colony. The unprecedented acts of oppres sion and injustice of which these Popish despots have been g uiltr ought to be introduced to the notice of the House of 'Commons as soon as it meets, and the per petraors of thesemonstrons deeds of persecution should be visited with condign punishment. The atrocities detailed in the acounts which we have last received from that colony are of too glazing and villanous a character to be suffered to pass off quietly. Is jt not a scandalous affront to the Sovereign of these realms, that the Clef Justice—the representative of her Ma jesty on the bench—should be dismissed from his office for doing his duty faithfully and conscientiously—dis missed without trial, and at the mandate of a set of raffish and seditious Popish priests ? Is it not a shame that one of her Majesty's subjects should be deprived of his liberty for merely attempting to vindicate his character ? What will the Protestants of England say when they learn that the Popish priests, who are paid by the colonial authorities, actually celebrated their factious triumph over the Protestant interest by aTe Deum ? What will our countrymen say when they learn that these blasphemous wretches cursed their Protestant fellow-subjects from the altar? What will be thought of the condition of Newfoundland, when it is known that a judge was openly assaulted, and, with the sheriff, dragged to the common gaol for issuing a writ of habeas corpus, and a warrant in favour of the liberty of the subject ? Is this a state of things that ought to be any longer tolerated ? In addition to the details furnished in another co lumn, we find the following in a Newfoundland paper of the 24th of August:— The Chief Justice of this colony is now and has been for some months past in England for the purpose of answering the infamous charges which the House of Assembly of New foundland has dared to prefer against him; but what has been the conduct of the pries s Sunday after Sunday with re spect to that individual wh o stands so high in the estimation of all the respectable inhabitants. In the presence of his amiable wife, who has regularly peifmmed her devotions in the chapel, they have poured out the grossest abuse, and i I condemned,rl wil l oy has had it s r othe r upon last Sunday, when information had been rec e i ved t h at some the chief justice would not again return to this c a l ml y , Father Troy observed at first mass:— " I have ordered a Te Deem after each of t he masses tore. joint n in n o t d h ethanks prayer,f for i ; r t w removal ,istr of f B i d and shamefully condemned. Every evz)laye(t)tly;nroert(:uu scourge from Heaven, the pestilence, but we had worse than all ; we had Boulton, the greatest of all pestilences. That is the reason we shall !Jaye the hymn of thanksgiving for the removal of the greatest of scourges. Now," observed Troy, " let him go to the Canadasi that he helped to set in a blaze!" Father Walsh, at secon mass, gave a lengthy discourse on the same subjert, in language the most coarse and vulgar; and, as it would appear, delighted in doing so, as Mrs. Buul tim was present. He concluded his " sermon" with the ful towing pious and holy praer:— " May the curse of God and the congregation pursue and attend ( Judge Boulion) to his last moments!! May th e vengeance him eao c e of heaven fall on the devoted head of that wretch, who sent some before their Maker before their time, and who robbed you of your wages, and who cij would rub y•.,u of your h ' e lives if he could! !" Mrs. Boulton' well accustomed to similar language f rom the same altar, left the chapel and stepped into her carri age , when, f eeling and'j i l i r 'elin p ersecuted i gitiignant hut e and, addressed the mull quite around her, observing, that Mr. Bonito)) had been a much injured man, and ihat he had honestly administered the laws of hi s country as he was tem:: to t h l a o t . i r a linn was evidently making some impress ion upon her hearers, whet, he ple, "Are you tistenmiig F ether Walsh coming from th e and dir,ueliiiilittisitvieg,%rhltiii7t people were attentively listeniug to that lady, he peremptorily l divine, one Cunisuius, ,lieu p i i i ii j aei d el e ,fi r ce( e ei(e t ) l (a h s e carriage away, u t t Id her to be 'one , .raking the it is ) ing drive her a y." Mrs. Bimini)) said, laNno),ll):iiengnhult finished I will go. Edward (addressing her coachman), do net Stir until I order you." " You are addressed by a minister of the living God," Walsh.

Mrs. Bo r iaton 4aving thus nobly spoken, drove off. Manv of her audi►ors had weited into tears. Father Walsh, after Mrs. Boulton's departure, again issued from the " Palace" with a stick in his hand, exclaiming, " It's well she went! M third mass, Father Morris. who but a few days ago ar rived from Halifax, and who was a perfect stranger to this community, said— " After mass the Te Deum will he sung.in thanksgiving for the removal of Judge Boulton from this. I presume," said this stranger, "that many of you will not he sorry for it." Here is a specimen of Popery rampant and triumph ing over Protestantism. Such scenes as these would be also of daily occurrence in Ireland, if the Popish priests dared to offer such insults to the Protestants. It is fear alone that prevents Ireland from becoming another .Pandemonium like Newfoundland. Wl:en will the Prot estants o f this c o u n t ry awake to a sense of the dang ers b y w hi c h th e y are surrounded? When will they unite as one man to resist the tyrannical encroachments of the Church of Rome upon their liberties THE CHURCH IN CANADA.—In our last we published a very interesting address from the Rev. William Bett ridge, on behalf of the Protestant population of the Canadas. The statement of facts contained in that document Is entitled to the serious consideration of ...very one who wishes well to the interests of the Established Church, and aho is Emmons to promote the -pirittml welfare of his fellow suljects; w hen it is considered that the w hig radical ministers of the lay, in deference to the comma/11s of their Popish 'tasters, ha% e diminished the grunt to the clergy of the church in the Cunadas to the amount of MI ee thousand pounds. • We trust that Briti•li generosity will more Ilan suppl% the tit ticiency thus created, and pro% isle for out fellow.sulijects in those ethnics the blessing of an adequate supply of Christian pastors. THE EXHIBITION of PAINTINGS, We redeem our promise, and proceed to give a detailed critical notice of the vations paintings in the Exhibition. Unbiassed by an v favouritism, we shall give to each painting its fair desert of 3ppiotiation or censure; premising, that such paintings as scarcely deserve notice, we way pass over. and our charity may sometimes induce us to be silent respect ing those paintings which are remarkable for nothing lint defects. We are aware that the task we have undertaken is an arduous one. and one of time; we shall, however, proceed with the units, undaunted by toe hundreds which remain, to give a lair notice of each. Ro. 1. " Portrait of Dr. is a good painting, by Midge, of this tokfth and, from what we remember of the original, 0 rrood likeness. He is repr esen t e d i n t h e ro b es cf his sacred o ffice. NO. 2. " Coast Scene, mouth of the Conway." is a gaudy, bright coloured, !racy painting, of no great merit. Ni,. 3. " The infant Moses," is like the picture of any other infant. It is a small characterles- painting.' No. 4. '` The Spider's Web," by Mr. J. A. Carey, of Westminster, is a painting of considerable merit. It repre sents two ladies under a vine tree. wrapt in admiration of the ingenious and beautiful texture of the out-door spider's web. The faces are well drawn, and the expression natural and unt,cl. The' drapery over the wall is also cleverly Painted. The idea of the painting is taken from Pope's Essay on Mau : • "The spider's touch how exquisitely fine, Feels at each thread, and lives along the line." No. 5. " The Eagle Hock," appears to be an amateur painting, by the Hey. J. Thompson, of Duddingtoo. It is a lark, indistinct daub; and being placed iu a bad light, does not at all improve it. Nat. 6. " Hauxlev Sands, Northumberland, wish Shrim pers." This is a gaudy, streaky painting. anal very stiff. Every thing is as precise about it as on a newly set out diu ner table. No. 7. " The Sultana" represents an Eastern lad's fare, as expressionless as can be well conceived. We con: r •cair'ly imagine a face so unmeaning. Whether this he the paintet's i►nagination, or his want of art, we do not preteen to say ; but t , e dauliv chat acter of the neck and 1005,,,, mould induce us to sad• the latter. The artist can never have site died the light and shade, and beautiful fot illation, which na. lure haS given to the necks and bosoms of the fair daughter: id t.ve. No. 8 " The Saints' Day." by J. I'. Knight, A.U.A., a realty fine painting,. The idea is taken from an Llllrletll custom. still extant in some pat t 3 of the aged inmates of ihe different alisish.uses, on particular saints' dais and ho vdays, arranging themselves ',m u d a t a bl e , on which is a money folk, dressed in I heir best, to receive the alms of the charitable. One pail of the picture represents a number of ancient females thus arranged. Their various countenances, and that hue, and expression, and complexion which old age, vtith its "grained face." in usdifferent stages, puts on, are admirably pourtrayed : The rest ol the painting is t a k en u p with a g , oup, one a fennie directing a boy to give a penny to the box, and another boy purchasing fruit. Every part of the painting, which is of large size, is elabo rately and beautifully Finished, and betokens great care and pains-taking. Nos. 9, 115, 11, and 12, are small landscape paintings, in differently well exectred. No. 13. "Ski ,p towing on the Medway—light airs an/ calms." is a small painting, by Sear°, th the sea painter, atol is (list inguished by many ut his excellencies of style. It is very sweet painting, and is a perfect picture of that which it represent.._ No. 14. " Coast Scene," by H. Justom, just astonishes us how ii got there. It is a gaudy daub, and the scene devoid of interest. No. 13. " Blackfriars' Bridge. London," by T. Cresswick, is an elaborately finished painting. The foregniund retire. cents a busy quay scene, and is very well executed. In the bat k ground is dimly seen Blackfriars Bridge and great St. Paul's. The cutouts are rather glaring. No. 16. " A Looking-glass Reflection" is an exceedingly clever painting, and one of the hest in the It repres'ents the interior of a &het man's eidtage, and the aged fisherm a n, who bas lieu mending his nets, asleep to his chair.

We s the form-ice of a large boiler supplied with fresh coal, sufficient in produce dense volnines of smoke, and yet the smoke which was vented from the chimney was not 111011 e in quantity than issues 11.111 a kitchen chiamey. The fuel is placed tin an inclined plane, and thus fails Imo the furnace by the force of gravity as fast as it gets consu med. 'Elie smoke is then carried over a large surface of fire, and before it arrives at the vent is completely consumed. We have seen several testimonials of the efficiency of the plan as adapted to marine and locomotive as well as t ? other engines. The saving to locomotive engines is stated to be very great, as, with this furnace, coals may be advantage• ously substituted ter cake, and the difference of the cost of the two combustibles is very considerable. Even where coal is used it is stated to be a considerable saving; by creating a more complete combustion of the coal, and a more intense heat, and thus generating steam with greater rapidity. We heartily wish to see the general adoption of some stub contri vance to lessen the smoke nuisance which is greatly on the increase with increasing inanufactories. " UP TO THE FOUEST."-It is by such compositions as "Up to the Forest" that B trnett's fame will be extended to every corner of the civilized world : there is not a passage in this beautiful Cavatina which does not bear I he impress of his tow ering genius: with nature and Nl,zart (her musical interpre ter) for his models, let him go on producing. such music as "Up to the Forest," and he may smile at the puny attacks of his envious and ignorant detractors. We had been wading through some dozen or twenty compositions (?) of the new Italian school, when Barneirs Cavatina first fell under our notice, and to us it was welcome as is the glorious burst of sunshine breaking through the gloomy atmosphere of a No vember day, we felt our weariness depart as we revelled in the beautiful and joyous melodies—the rich and varied c•out binations of harmony to be found in this charming song: our labour becfme pleasure, and in the enthusiasm created by this offspring of his genius, we sat doWn to record our opinions of John Barnett and his Cavatina" Up to the Forest."—Mu sical Gazetteer.

BAPTISM of CONVERTED Js :WS.--We understand that on Sunday evening next, :1 sermon will be preached in St Simon's Chapel, Sir Th•uniuts's Buiidings. to which the children of the House of Israel are affectionately invited. and on which occasion three additional converted Jews will be admitted by the ordinance of bapt , sin into the Church of England.

THEATRE-BoyA L.—L:lst evening, at this theatre, Shak speare's beautiful tragedy of Macbeth' was represented. The character of Macbeth was pert' mned by Mr. Cooper, of the Theatre-Royal, Dritrv-lane, who played a hard though not uncommon part—that of regieide and suicide. fle most horribly murdered Mataluff, soul most dreadfully murdered "Macbeth." Verily, he was like a steuitn,engine pistol), which for a day together will go at so many strokes per now. His whole performance was a mouthing mannerism. Except ing a s li g h t difference in modulation of tone of voice there was no possible difference in feeling or passion between his first entertainment of the thought of being king, on hearing the prognostication of the weird sisters. his meditation before committing the deed - of murder, and soliloquy "Is this a (lair.- ger that I see before me," his remorse after committing the deed of blood, his horror at beholding Bantplo's ghost, his expression of sorrow and feeling; at his wife's death, or in his announced determined and desrerate resist ance at the approach of the English forces. All was one monotonous singing; feelingless, passionless, expressionless, and cold. It itispired no feeling, and was a mere rehearsal of words. Mr. Cooper has a fine voice, and good elocution; but till he can feel that which he wishes to represent and represents that which he feels he will be no actor. We do not call the mere rehearser of sentences an actor. Miss Cleaver, as Lady Macbeth, played better than we have be fore seen her; she seems to have a good conception of the character. We have not time for a close dissection of the representation, else should we feel disposed to cut• it up root and branch. The hottest during the week have been - toletablx g°4th THE RAILWAY INTERESTS OF LANCASHIRE TO THE EDITOR OP The LIPERPOOL STANDARD. Silt,— I %%multi avail myself of the medium of you! respect tilde Journal , alw - ava the enlightened supporter of the enter prize and advancement of our stirring and wealthy commu nity, to address the bolders of property of the above description, at this interesting epoch in t heir interests. It is unquestionable that the great bulk of the shares of the leading and promising hoes of tailway a-e held by Liverpool and Manchester aml their vicinities; the remainder may, perhaps, be divided be twixt the resident ho!deos on the MffereLt lutes, the public gene:•ally in scattered directions, and the London Stock Ex eh .age, in the prop.,tiou of two-thirds or more to the former parties, and 011,1111 Id to the littler. This suprosition is grounded on good d a t a . Th us th e London jobbers, giving them ail the Londou portion, barely enuaniand one-eighth of these shares, and yet the whole wot king of the market has been hitherto controlled to their advantage. And how has this been effected ? Simply by their operations being always ro-opet ations, by which means, like the Irish Tail usurping the wail, closer in analogy still, accustomed to the most un principled manceuvring, whenever these gentry covet the scrips held by honest men, then the depositories of panic ale opened,,and when it has fairly' bitten into its intended vie tons, then it is followed by a series of forced and largely fic titioes sales bearing down the prices. " How rumour's thous and tongues do ham." The movement upwards has generally, since the first rage, been left to these markets, which from the conviction (borne out by daily triumphant realization) of the immense value oithese undertakings in every light, have a cons ant and buoyant tendency to improve so soon as the night-mare is removed. The vampires of the Metropolitan Stork Exchange boast their use of you, as their sponge tilling You with shares at hi g h prices, and ,squeezing them back at low How long brother shareholders shall we be the vic timized? It is my purpose, Mr. Editor, with your permis j sien, to lay open the secrets of the prison -house, which I have j extraordinary facilities for doing—and suggest defences against these inammon-worshippers, whether they attend the shrine as '• hears" or bulls," An important era has now arrived which most greatly modify these proceedings, if not give them during the next few months a confirmed opposite tendency. The result of the, opening of the London and Birmingham and Southampton lines will so establish the solidity and character of these great works, and of the calcu lations for other hues, formed by the successful completion of these—calculations, too, grounded now upon the fullest practical expetience. I say the public mind will henceforth be - so secure against attacks upon the system, that it is a ques tion o hether '• the rare and delicate spirits" before named, will not give op their labours for depression, -buy up all they can find people silly enough to sell, at whatever price, drop the rough coat of Bruin, and permanently mount the horns. This change lam desirous to prepare you for. Haid efforts have been made to depress prices during the last few months, and yet there have been large buyers in London, (with, I rejoice to say, few sellers, bona fide sellers, there or here) and finding the futility' of these efforts, we may daily look fOr new tactics. Such being the condition of affairs, I could. wish to open . yonr eyes to the advantages of our position. if • we only use it uisely. Relying upon powers of the squeeze, large sales have been ma le for delivery within the next lea months, and the sellers have not one-twentieth of the shares to deliver—and tin setntiuizing the list of buyers and sellers. the former being din fly Lancashire holders, are much more able to take their shares than are the seders to deliver, who having sold on the chance run, have missed the tide for buy log =d, in fact, being too strong against them. These farts are notorious. Look bark upon the extraordinary firmness of Grand Junctions here, in face of the £lO. call paid on Mon day on the new half-shates, produced by the purchase of a wealthy faintly of some 100 shares or an, and from this judge of the effect that must ensue, on the value of the London and Southampton lines, if you keep yours out of the market, ant every one who has bought for delivery and who can do it, rialtos the shares us the full due. This, too supported by the large demand from the public, which will far more than ab sorb those that may be refused, the sales could nut be met under an cumulous rise, and yet still far within the real value of the property. It rests with y o u t o w h a t ex t ent y our pro perty shall hie improved, securing to you the well-earned re ward of your spirit and enterprize, and it rests with you subsequently whether this improvement be permanent, to effect a hich I will, next week, suggest to the proprietors of the lines who hold most extensively here a course of defen sive proceedings. It is entirely in yinir power to make this ' succeed. In the mean time let no man who can hold them sell a share in the two great lines opening now, for the next three mouths, if satisfied as the time pi ogresses of the sound- Hess of such advice The impression produced on the Lon don capitalists on Monday. by the development of the capa bilities and promises of the Birmingham line, the traffic of which already exceeded the most fidngume expectations, and the teturns of which, as its vast resources come to bear, are incalculable; the confirmation of this impression which the Southampton 411 milts will afford, the returns of which will treble the est!mrtes, while the cost per mile is under £2 , 1000. excepting the Eastern counties, the cheapest line out of Lon don while it commands the largest passenger ft - eine—this impression communicated over the length and breadth of the hand—wait and see the result—until next week.

Though the novelty of a -team-vessel sailing from this port across the Atlantic no longer remained as en attraction to see her star, yet thou sands of spectato t s Were collected, :Aid completely lined the ,all s of the George's and Prince's Piers. Evers berth, we understand, has been taken, and this time she caries out no less than 67 cabin passengers, as many, we believe, as she could possibly accommodate. This is the best criterion of the increasing favour for steam-vessels for America; their certainty as to time of arrival as well as their quick rate of travelling creating the greatest confidence in them. At two o'clock the hell was rung t o give notice that she was about to start, two guns were filed from her ltus, and the sp.endid vessel turned with the tide and gallantly steamed down the river, amidst the cheers of thousand: of svectators, Which u ere heartily answered from on hoaul. As she passed down the river she was greeted with salutes from either shore, the hold t o uting of which ywere answeted by the guns on board her. Having the tide running stionglv in her favour, she was rp t ickl) down the riser, round the rock. and out of Sight.

THE LATE STEAM BOILER EXPLOSION AT NEWTON. At noon on Tuesday a highly respectable jury met at the Bull Inn, at Newton , to in quire touching. the death s o f Jo seph Daugerfield, Slonuel Appleton, George Fazakerley, George Hough, William Wells, John Dean, and Thoma s Price, the seven engineers who were killed on Monday by the bursting of a boiler attached to an engine at the Viadu t t Foundry. - Peter Traverse, a labourer, residing at Burton-wood, stated that he was in the employ of Messrs. Jones, Turner, and Evans, and had worked at the Viaduct Foundry since March last. He knew all the deceased men. They all worked fur Messrs. Jones and Co. Dangei field was the manager of the works, and had the overlooking of the setting-up of the new boiler. Witness went to work about twenty minutes to six o'clock. There were then about twenty or thirty men stand ing before the boiler furnace. Witness works as a coke burner. When the bell rung at s:x Oclock, Dangerfield was winking the engine. He desired witness to bring a can and li terl h o :e a ,ur,,i(n.a f i)e t egu . ir,r.ienanhe N skin V iih, lies h dloete e d:%i r iv i th,ineft, t i(h h t,:u.t a aaa t idli . m i n : fe a gtant s i: fetch some oil, and said after he had oiled the shaft, he would have a fair start.

Dangerfield only .gave one sigh. Wells died at eleven o'clock. Three or the others were only just alive. The boiler was not burst, it was only the flue. Mr Jones deposed that he was dressing himself about six o'ch ck ou Mon lay morning, when he heard what he at - first conceived to be a loud clap of thunder. He immediately went to the foundry, and there found Fazakerley, Appleton, and Dangerfield dead. The survivors were removed to their several places of residence. The boiler was quite new. It was made at witness's foundry, and was fixed up and set going on Saturday for the first time. It worked welt, and it was intended to start it fairly on Monday morning. The en gine was a ten horse power, and the plates of the boiler were thick. The boiler was 12 feet long and 4 feet 6 inches dia meter. There was a tub through it of the same thickness. The apparatus to the bliler was two gauge cocks, and water gauge, and it had two safety va , ves upon it. It was calculated to bear a pressure of 80Ibs to the inch.. Only 35ilis was upon it when the accident happened. Witness had endeavoured to ascertain the cause of the accident, and he was of opinion, that there was not a sufficient quantity of water in the boiler, which ranged the flue to get red hot, and when the engine pumped in the cold water the boiler collapsed. The boiler entains - sound and firm on its bed. Tirere is an aperture made in the Hue at the further end of the boiler. The boiler is called a tabular boiler, made to a different construction to the marine engines. \Vitra-se does not consider the tabular boilers more datigerou.. Dangerfield hail got up the steam, and had attended the erection of the engine throughout. Wi:ness considered that Dangei fi , la was fully competent, but in this instance had not been sufficiently cautious. The other men were mere spectators. The steam was not blown off. In his opinion hydrogen gas was formed in the boiler the mo ment the cold water was let in. Ile drew that conclusion from the fact of the engine art havtng been wotked more than a minute before the explosion took place. Peter Di.ehlield, the watchman, - deposed, that Danger field ordered witness to call him at five o'clock, and to get a tire under the boiler at half past four o'clock. Dangei field came soon. after five o'clock. At that time the water appeared to be about a nail's length from the top (.1 the gauge. He lid not try his gauge-corks while witness was near him. Witness went with Dangei field to see some eels on the top of the !wad. Thi-v ftihutrti in consequence oi lime having been thrown into the Water. He had not started t he engine when witness ler,. about five minutes before the hed rung. Dan gertield fed the fire hint , ell. A number of men were coming it the works just as he lilt. The accident happened ten-or lweive minutes alter. aingei field • might hive tried the vange-recks during the tune witness was the doors. Two iiitnesses were called. They di-air:et! to no nes facts.. The jury returned a verdict, in all the cases, of " acci dental death," occasioned It the insuffiriene% if water in the hotter, noon which they tutu a demi:and-of 5.. They expressed themsekes also to be of opinion that no blame was attached to Messrs. Jones, as the manufactuiers of the boiler. A valuable copper mine has been discovered at Oswestry.
