CONTEMPORARY PRESS, O'CONNELL AND THE REPEAL FARCE. (From the Morning Herald.) The Irish agitator to whom the Queen's ministers render suit and service for his parliamentary support, is again playing his favourite part of chief mountebank in the farce of "THE REPEAL." The mountebank himself, and "my dear Ray," his scene-shifter, candle-snuffer, trumpeter, and property man, seem to have been, at the revived presentation of this farce on-the boards of the Corn Exchange theatre, the principal performers. Whether "new dresses and decorations" were introduced we are not told. Those already in use, like the apparel of a large portion of the audience, have long been worn threadbare. A pano ramic view of the " Emerald Isle " from " the Giant's Causeway to Cape Clear," with the waves of the "mighty Atlantic-rolling unbroken on the coast of Cunnemara from the shores of Labrador," constituted as in former days the chief scenery of the piece, upon which-aim refreshing touches of the pound-brushl and paint-pot had been recently expended. The legend over the stage answering to the " Veluti in speculum" of the regular drama, was the well-known " Great, glorious, and free, First flower of the earth and first gem of the sea." These words were emblazoned in large gold letters on a green ground, but the painter, who probably had not yet taken the temperance pledge, and certainly was more of a painter than a poet, had unfortunately tran sposed the flower and the gem, so as to give the latter to the earth and plant the former in the sea. The line then stood thus : " First gem of the earth and firstifower of the sea." But perhaps it was only the more Irish for all that. The performance of the mountebank contained no thing new, with the exception of a prologue delivered by himself, in solemn mockery of an oath, in the fol lowing form :—" I don't use the profaneness of an oath, but I speak as if I were upon that oath, and I make this pledge with all the solemnity of an oath, never to look for anything but a repeal of the union." This oath will doubtlessly be as faithfully observed as his equally solemn oath in reference to the Protestant Church Establishment, and various voluntary assevera tions enforced by an appeal to Heaven, which Mr. O'Connell has put forth in the course of his political career. In order, we suppose, to give a more solemn charac ter to this theatrical exhibition, it was held on the Christian Sabbath, but the reporters of the Dublin press, not being quite so religious as the mountebank and his man Ray, refused to attend, in consequence of which " dear Ray" had to add to his other manifold accomplishments, that of note-taker to the concern. This very useful and handy " man of all work" is in deed the Caleb Quotern of repeal." O'Connell assured his audience that he commenced his performance " with a full sense of the solemnity and awfulness of the undertaking and of the occasion." We have no doubt that to him the occasion is most important, for it concerns the replenishing of his " wal lets," which begin to run rather low. Repeal, speak ing in the voice of the mendicant " patriot," like the horse leech's daughter, cries eternally, "give, give." Accordingly we are told as the most important—infi nitely the most important part of the proceedings of the day—that the " repeal rent amounted to £7B 65." It is necessary once more to put on the steam of agita tion to raise that rent. O'Connell is, in some respects, a diverting mob ac tor, but not half so diverting as Punch, and nothing like so honest. Punch sends round " the hat" fairly to collect the pence of his ragged audience, and does not pretend it is wanted for any other purposes than to " boil the pot" of the performer in return for the amusement afforded to the people. But O'Connell pretends "repeal," or any other political fiction, while he is grasping at the pelf. . . . As to his performance on this last occasion, it is so much of a mere repetition of his former exhibitions that it would seem as if the stock of melo-dramatic invention of the old juggler is quite worn out. His speeches consisted of a string of vapouring and de clamatory phrases, varying in all possible ways, the jingling of the catch-words "justice to Ireland,' " do mestic legislature," " agitation," and " repeal," with a few interjected allusions to scorpion Stanley and his bill, to give point and sting to the mountebank's de clamation. And it is such a worn-out old deceiver of the people as this on whom the Melbourne Administration mainly relies for support ! That Administration having lost the confidence of the country and Parliament, if it ever had it, drags along an existence protracted through every varying phase of agitation, by keeping a despe rate hold of the apron-strings of the ladies of the bed chamber, and of the repeal agitator's voluminous tail." To such degradation were the destinies of England never reduced before, and we trust never will be again. THE WEST INDIES. (From the Bristol Journal.) Nothing, except the disgrace of the fact, can be more deplorable than the apathy of-the public to thopresnt state of our West Indian Colonies. It is certain that a few more years such as the last two 'or three must convert the territory, which once was a main source of our great bulwark " Ships, Colonies, and Commerce," into a desert. The importance of averting such an event is, on every ground, so manifest, that to enforce it were mere repetition of truisms ; while every party, professing any national object, into which our vast community is divided, has alike a direct interest in promoting the means by which colonial prosperity may be restored. That which lies at the root of the declining state of the West Indies, is the want of that fair and adequate supply of free labour, which, in all other parts of the British Empire, is abundantly found in the progress of population. For this the remedy is Immigration, upon terms of perfect freedom, of a population suited by nature to the climate. This the present Government are willing to permit to the Mauritius, a young colony in the East, and in which capital, comparatively, is nothing :—to the West, where 140 millions sterling is vested in the requisites for rendering their industry productive, it is prohibited. Thus in their wisdom would British Ministers send masses to perish among " redundant population," and " stop the works" of accumulated capital and skill ! After the sacrifice, made unanimously by the British people, ofTwenty Millions for the extinction of Slavery, we find, as the result, the infernal traffic not only con tinued, but doubled in magnitude and quadrupled in crime, by foreign states. The motive to this enormity is cheap production ; their success in competition the effect of deficiency of free labour. The friends of the African, the Emancipators of the negro race, must feel as one man upon these facts. They must, if they are sincere, strain their energies (and we know what they are) not only against the consumption of slave-grown produce, but for that supply of industrious free popu lation, which alone can counteract the rivalry of their declared opponents. Already the public begin to experience the results; which were predicted by those who conceived the pre sent system premature, in the rapid decrease of colo nial produce, and its consequent high price. Ere long sugar will probably be a luxury above the reach of the working classes ; such is the price, that the preserving of fruit, usual at this season, has declined to perhaps one-third of its average amount. What is the cause of this ? Manifestly the scarcity of produce from the want of labour. If the public desire the supply of an article which custom has now rendered one of the ne cessaries of life, they will, not only from humanity and duty, but from interest, bestir themselves that a fair supply of free labour shall be afforded. We might go through every class in society, and every party associated for any national object, and prove that they have collectively, and each individual of them singly, a direct interest in promoting this object. To dwell upon the great political importance of preserving in strength and prosperity our important West Indian territory, were waste of words : but we have another duty, for which we are responsible before a Judge who cannot err, in this matter. The Colonies bel on g to England by right of conquest: that right-is unques tionable ; but it is unquestionable because it is a right entailing reciprocal duties of "Allegiance and Pro tection," and the great contract that the ruling State shall confer on its province the knowledge, the civiliza tion, and the arts by which it was enabled to make its conquest. England has conquered, either the barbar ous aborigines, or the subsequent colonists of these islands; she has derived from them hundreds of millions by her commerce : she is blessed with the only Esta blishment in the world for teaching pure Christianity : she is beyond competition in arts, in knowledge, and in civil institutions : and the duty rests on her, not only to her subjects in the West, but to her God, to preserve this territory, to raise it to prosperity, and to her own moral and intellectual standard. We see, with mingled pleasure and regret, that a pe tition, distinctly for effecting Immigration of the Hill Coolies to the West Indies, has been passed unani mously by the Town Council of Northampton. We see this, we say, with mingled pleasure—that it is done at all, and done too from an inland town in the very heart of England—and regret, that Bristol did not take the lead in this national movement. A powerful con temporary, the Liverpool Standard, has also had the start of us in urging this duty, and enforcing it by the example, among that large constituency. The sug gestion, unquestionably, will be successful there, and not less adopted throughout England; and we hope that Bristol will at least not be in the rear of the hun dreds of communities which will speak out upon the subject. POSTAGE REDUCED TO THREE FARTHINGS !—The postage covers are now to be had for ninepence per dozen. This has been effected by the novel plan adopted by some of our en terprising publishing booksellers of using the post-office penny covers as a medium for issuing ge nera l a d vertisements, as well as notices of publications connected with the trade. The profit on the advertisements, together with the advantage of an increased publicity to the books issued by the publisher, afford an adequate compensation to the vender. In this way the public are gainers to the extent of twenty-five per cent. on the Government price of the stamps. Th e p l an has been as yet only partially tried, but in the event of its more gene ral adoption—a result which seems all but certain—a gratui tous circulation of the penny postage covers may reasonably be anticipated as the effect of increased competition. The penny postage scheme of Rowland Hill will thus be turned into a universal free postage ! What next?—Scottish Pilot. EMIGRATION TO BRITISH GUIANA AND TRINIDAD REPORT OF MESSRS. rg,qc AND PRICE, WED WERE AP- POINTED AT A MEETING OF THE FREE COLORED PEOPLE OF BALTIMORE, HELP ON THE 25TH NOVEMBER. 1839, DELEGATES TO VISIT BRITISH GUIANA, AND THE ISLAND OF TRINIDAD; FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASCERTAINING THE ADVANTAGES TO DE DERIVED BY COLORED PEOPLE MI- GRATING TO THOSE PLACES. ( Concluded from our last.) THE SOIL The soil is a rich alluvial deposit and is the same to any depth, which requires no manuring, and every thing of vege table nature grows with the greatest luxuriance. Sugar and coffee being the principal articles raised for exportation, pay ing exceedingly well at the prices they now bring in the British market, it is not to be wondered at that the whole resources of the colony are directed to theM alone. POLITICS There is but little noise about politics, as there are but a few offices within the gift of the people. However, there is existing in Guiana, as well as all other British dependencies, a law excluding all persons not born under the British flag from being eligible to office. However, every man stands on an equality in the eye of the law. All criminal cases are tried by a court of three judges and three assessors ; the assessors are chosen on the spot, from the tax-payers, without regard to colour. The only distinction in society is education, character, and wealth, for the higher walks—then gradations down, accord ing to condition, &c. Agriculturists are in great demand. Every plantation that we were upon (which were many), wanted from forty to fifty hands to carry on the cultivation already in operation. The present cultivation does not extend from the principal sea ports over twenty miles in the interior, and on both sides of those beautiful rivers, the Essequibo, Demerara, and Berbice, many advantages are offered to industrious and en terprising capitalists, who would embark in the cultivation of vegetables, and rearing feathered as well as other stock for market, which would make, at present, a handsome return to the undertaker. The government land, according to law, is put up, upon application, at five dollars per acre, and is published in the papers ; if no one applies to over-bid that sum, it is then transferred at that price. _ _ WAGES PAID FOR LABOURERS AND MECHANICS. — The field labour is similar to working in corn-fields, and is done by task of so many feet or yards. The price for each task is 3.3 i cents, which, upon most estates, can be done in four or five hours. We saw a young woman at an estate called " Success," on the island of Lagaun, finish her se cond task by twelve o'clock, and did not appear at all fatigued. In answer to a question put to her by us, that she could do three tasks every day, said if she felt inclined after dinner, she would do another task. We left her to visit several other estates, and returned about half-past five in the afternoon, and learned from her own lips, that she had done the third task about half an hour; the sun at this time being full half-hour high ; besides, each family has a comfortable cottage to live in, containing generally two rooms on the first floor, and one above, with as much ground attached as they can cultivate in vegetables, and the doctor's bill for attending all on the estates paid by the proprietor. On many estates are very fine schools, and would be many more, could persons be found competent to the undertaking. There are at present a great many churches in every direc tion, and would be many more, should it be required, as every profession is tolerated and encouraged. Carpenters are in much demand, as well as many other tradesmen. The wages given is from 1 dollar to 1 dollar 25 cents ; but we are informed by many master mechanics, that if our people would emigrate there, they would command higher wages, as they had been informed that our workmen could do a great deal more work in a day than theirs. Every estate presents quite an imposing appearance. The sugar works being very large, and all the machinery pro pelled by steam-engines ; the proprietors, managers, and overseers' houses are very fine buildings ; the handsome cottages for the labourers, now being built on an improved plan, averaging from 30 to 60 in number, gives them the ap pearance of a considerable village. In going through the country, we had occasion to inquire of the planter, what encouragement he would give to a num ber of agriculturists who would undertake to cultivate any amount of land already in cultivation, upon shares. It ap peared to meet their entire approbation ; but before our de parture from the colony, we put certain questions to the Emigration Committee in writing, upon that subject, as well as others, all of which were promptly answered. QUESTIONS PUT TO THE COMMITTEE BY YOUR DELEGATES, AND THEIR ANSWERS : Demerara, February 26, 1840. To the Gentlemen composing the Voluntary Subscription Emigration Society. Sirs,—We, the undersigned, do respectfully ask the fol lowing questions :- 1. Will the emigrants corning into this colony from the United States have the right of choosing their employers, without restraint or drawback from them for passage money, &c. ? 2. What do the gentlemen composing this society think of the plan of cultivating certain cane-fields upon shares : that is to say, take said fields, after being cut, and keeping up the cultivation and delivery of the canes at the works ? • 3. What portion of the produce should the undertaker re ceive as his reward? 4. If bringing on new fields, what quota of the produce should he receive ? 5. Should the undertaker want advances in money, on what terms could he procure it ? 6. Should the emigrants bring with them their furniture, and provisions for their own use, will the same be subject to duty ? If so, please present us with a tariff of duties on such articles ? With due respect, we remain, gentlemen, Your most obedient and humble servants, NATHANIEL. PECK, THOMAS S. PRICE. BRITISH GUIANA Extract from the Minutes of the Proceedings of the Direc tors of the Voluntary Subscription Emigration Society, held at the Public Buildings, in Georgetown, Demarara. Monday, March 2, Ig4o. • The Board resolved that the following answers to the questions contained in the letter of Messrs. - Peck and Price, be communicated to those gentlemen. L Will the emigrants from the United States have the pri vilege to choose their employers, without restraint or draw back for passage-money, &c.? Answer.—Emigrants arriving here from the United States or elsewhere, ars free to select their employers. They will be superintended by the government emigration agent, whose duty it will be to aid them, when they desire it, in the selec tion ; to give them every information as to the localities of the colony, the rate of wages, the nature of the employment, and all other matters in which they are interested. The passage money and expenses of maintenance during the voyage, will be paid for by this society, for all labouring emigrants, whether agricultural or mechanical, and no draw back for them, in any way whatever, will be made. 2. What do the society think of the plan of cultivating canefields on shares, viz., to give over the fields after being cut—the undertakers to keep up the cultivation, and deliver the canes at the works ? Answer.—The plan here suggested his the society's entire approbation. 3. What portion of the produce should the undertakers receive as reward ? Answer.—The society have to observe that the proportion of the produce to be given to the cultivators, would, in the first place, depend on the arrangement to be entered into between them and the proprietor of the land ; which arrange ment, in the second place, will materially depend on the na ture of the soil, the state of the cultivation, the condition of the drainage, and other local circumstances of the estate. The society, therefore, cannot declare the proportion definitely, but they give their opinion, that not less than one-third of the gross produce of the land would be the remuneration to the cultivators. The proprietor, however, should have the option of paying the value thereof, in money, at cash market price or according to arrangement. 4. If undertaking new fields, what quota should be re ceived ? Answer.—Not less than half of the gross produce for the first crop, and one-third for the succeeding crops. These remunerations to be free of deductions. 5. Should the undertaker wantadvances in money, on what terms could he procure it ? Answer.—The Board observes that, in their opinion, no difficulty would arise in procuring advances of money from time to time from the proprietor, having reference to the progress in quality and quantity of the work undertaken ; but this would also form a part of the arrangement between the cultivator and proprietor. 6. Should emigrants bring out with them their house fur niture, and provisions for their own use, will the same be subject to duty ? If so, please present us with a tariff, &c. Answer.—Beds and bedding and cooking utensils, would be considered passengers' baggage, and not liable to duty. With regard to household furniture and provisions, the board directs the following tariff of Queen's duty on articles from the United States, and a list of those free of duty, to be fur nished to the delegates. Household furniture, 15 per cent. ad val. Flour, ss. per brl. Beef, pork, hams and bacon, 12s. per cwt. Sausages 7i per cent. ad val. Cheese and butter 15 per cent. ad val. Corn, meal, biscuit, pease, beans, potatoes, corn, oats, hay, rice, fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, horses, cattle, sheep, feathered stock, free of duty. Salt fish prohibited altogether. (A true extract.) THOMAS BAGOT, Secretary. It may not be amiss to give you what information we ga thered as to the amount of sugar that an acre will produce on land that has been in cultivation for thirty or forty years, without manuring. The estimated amount is from 2550 lbs. to 3400 lbs. and at the prices it brought to the planter at the time we were there, was from 6to 7 dollars per hundred. At the lowest quantity and price, it would yield 153 dollars per acre. At the largest amount, 3400 lbs. at 7 cents., it would yield 238 dollars ; besides the rum and molasses ; which, at the prices it was then. bringing, say from 30 to 40 cents. per gallon, (taking the average quantity and price to the acre,) would be about 60 dollars more •, and thirty hands can keep up the cultivation of 100 acres. Now we think the agricul turist has everything to gain and nothing to lose. Labourers about the wharfs and shipping, can earn 1 dollar per day throughout the year. Brick and potters' clay are to be found everywhere in the greatest abundance. The bricks now in use (which are imported) are worth 20 dollars per thousand. There are no potteries in the'colony, nor did we see any stone-ware while there. _ 1.•.• B -oat builders and wood-cutters are in much demand, as ••... well as those who understand sawing ship-timber, &c. W as hwomen, nurses, and sernpstresses are in demand, and 1 dollar per dozen is paid for washing clothing. It may not be unac ce p table to the reader tolearn i iihnelf. the prices of some articles, that he ma y know how to govern House rent, about 100 p er cent hi g he r than in Baltimore. Furniture, about the sa me. Flour from.ll to 13 doll ars per barrel. Hams, from 16 to 20 cents p er p ound. Veal and mutton very scarce ; 25 to 30 cents per pound. Fresh pork, 20 to 25 cents per pound, scarce. Beef, 16 cents, and plenty. Butter, from 50 to 60 cents per po und. Coffee 25 to 30 cents per pound. Tea, Ito 2 dollars per pound. Brown sugar, 16 cents per pound. Rice, 50 cents per gallon. Sperm candles, 67 cents per pound. Dipped, 16 to 20 cents per pound. Chickens, Ito 1 dollar 50 ce nts p er p air. Geese, 2t2 dollars 50 cents each. Turkeys , from 3to 5 dollars each. Vegetables, such as grow in this co untr y , ver y hi g h. The prices of all the above articles are by retail ; but in stead of the high prices being a disadvantage , we look u p on them as a decided advantage to the enterprising producer; for it is the scarcity of those articles, such as fowls, &c., that cause those high ti p o r n ices. Let there be a sufficient number to and our word for it turn their attention money, clot h i a n n g d o b f reivnegriiyns gd: t e o d.stohc. f e u y n e d a s n h n in o g t fa fail Nose to articles succeed nmarket,iaking Ti n n pt t io h e n e Fuel, in town,as low as is cheaper than in this country. 8 cents of the poorest ; is sold it ea s n worth, and is only used for at many places, cooking. On plantations, thee had for the trouble of cutting it. Therefore, althoughhigh prices of various articles of food, may, at the first glanc, to appear discouraging to the emigrant, yet we do not hesitate to that they e on the fsne7. are reduced even below the level of in this Country, when we consider that in Guiana, the labourers plan tation, have neither house-rent, doctors'cha o r school ing for his children to pay ; while the expense saved, and the cost of clothing diminished more than one-half. But in order to give a clear and distinct view of the colony and its resources , l et us imagine a large and extensive coun try, with the most lux uriant soil, capable of producing every thing that grows in a tropical region, and that all the cultiva tion is confined to the borders of the sea-coast, or along the margin of three mighty rivers. The first in order, and the largest and most, important, is the Essequibo, which is navigable for 250 miles; at the mouth of which, stand the two beautiful islands, Lapin and Wakanaam, which alone are capable of receiving an addition of many thousand emigrants. The Arabian coast, the ac knowledged garden spot of the colony, is we believe, equally, if not more healthy than Baltimore. This coast, which is in a high state of cultivation, is now prepared to receive an ad dition of some thousand emigrants ; who would be at once in comfortable situations. _ _ The next river is the Demerara, upon which, near the en trance, stands Georgetown, the capital of the colony, and the principal sea-port. This river runs in a serpentine course into the interior, to a very great extent. The cultivation, bending on this river, does not extend more than twenty miles from the principal sea-port. The Berbice river is tl_•e next, but not the least, it runs nearly parallel with the two former, but to a greater extent than the latter. The, cultivation on this riverdoes not extend from the port of shipment (which is 'New Amsterdam, in Berbice) over twelve miles. Hence, it is easy to discover the many advantages that this country possesses in a great de gree for the enterprising agriculturalist. A large amount of the very best land is lying idle, and a great portion, (thousands of acres, bordering on those rivers, where vessels of 250 tons can ascend for at least 200 miles,) entirely without cultivation. The inviting aspect of the country is at once observable to any one having the most contracted ideas of agriculture. The timber upon this land is of the most precious kind, and is suitable for furniture, as it is susceptible of a very high polish. There are several establishments in the interior for cutting and exporting this timber, with several steam saw mills, to convert it into plank, &c. _ Numerical bill of mortality for the years 1837, 1838, and 1839.

Nathaniel Peck and Thomas S. Price. " Dear Sirs,—ln reply to your inquiry respecting the price of land in Essequibo, I beg leave to say, that to parties who would engage to erect dwellings, and settle on Great Troolie Island, where I have about 1200 acres, of a soil equal to any in the colony, and superior to a greater part of it, I would now sell at from 15 dollars to 40 dollars per acre, in propor tion to the distance from the water side. This land 1 would engage to afford the means of drainage, by one or more ko kers, as might be found requisite ; the drains to be made and kept free by the purchasers. " The land 1 have reference to is on the windward or east side of 'the island ; has been in former times in cultivation, and could be drained and again put in cultivation at much less expense than new land with heavy wood upon it. Should the purchasers be disposed to provide kokers for drainage for themselves, a deduction of 25 per cent. could be made from the price named. The land on the leeward side of the island, which has never been in cultivation, I would sell at from 10 to 30 dollars per acre, in proportion to, its distance from the water side, the purchasers draining it themselves. I should not be disposed to make a commencement of a sale in this way unless fifty acres could he sold at once, and in lots of not less than five acres, and the purchasers to be bound to enclose their respective lots by a fence or trench, sufficiently wide to answer the purpose of confining within their own limits any live-stock they might keep. My terms would be one-half the purchase money on giving possession and title, and the other half in two equal annual instalments, say in one and two years. The latter half might be paid in agricultural labour, at the current rate of wages, if agreeable to the purchaser. " The offer hereby made, I should consider binding on me until twenty thousand emigrants have arrived here after this date, or at any rate for twelve months from date, unless I made a sale of the whole, in the meantime, to one party. This right I am not willing to shut myself out of. " Remaining, dear sirs, your very obedient servant, " CHARLES BENJAMIN." On the afternoon of the 10th of March, every thing being ready, we took our departure from Georgetown, on board the steam-packet, Captain Lunn, for Grenada. We arrived at Grenada, after a passage of fifty-six hours, on the night of the 12th, procured lodgings, and at the end of four days procured passage in a small sloop, the Governor Doyle, for Trinidad, where he arrived on the night of the 17th • pro cured lodging, by the assistance of a friend, and the next morning walked out early ; returned to breakfast, and learned that Messrs. Bushe, Losh, and Johnson, had called to see us. Shortly after, we met them on the street ; they wel comed us to Trinidad, and Mr. Bushe invited us to his dwelling. It was now arranged that we should be accommo dated with conveyance to the country on the 20th. We spent the two days in town, to the best advantage, in order to find out as many of the emigrants as possible, who had come out in the Metamora and Archer, and to learn from them how they liked the island. We met three or four, who had re mained in town ; they gave rather an unfavourable account of it. As they were mechanics, they no doubt went out with rather too high-wrought expectations. Their complaint was, that they did not receive as much for their labour, per day, as they did in the United States, and their board was high ; tradesmen were not in demand. These persons were all un known to us, except one, whom Mr. Peck knew; therefore we could not rely entirely upon what we heard. Early on the morning of the 20th, by the kindness of Messrs. Bushe and Losh, we were furnished with a horse and gig, and proceeded through a delightful part of the country, and were accompanied by those gentlemen. After travelling obout six miles, we stopped at Mr. Jackson's, who received us in the kindest manner. He is the proprietor of an exten sive plantation. He invited us to breakfast the next morn ing, and to take a look at another, portion of the island. After spending a short time here, we again set out four or five miles further, to one of Mr. Bushe's estates, where we breakfasted. _ Here we saw a number of the emigrants, and conversed with them; some few were dissatisfied. The reasons they gave for it were these :—That they sold their furniture in the States, for little or nothing ; and when they went to purchase there, they found every thing much higher than in this country. The churches being a good distance from some or them, was another cause of complaint ; others, with the price of provisions. We endeavoured to convince them of the necessity of undergoing some difficulty and privations, which is a sure attendant upon all such changes ; but although we did not see as many advantages as we had witnessed in Guiana, yet this island possesses many advantages over the United States, for the industrious man of colour. At this place we met two carpenters from New York, who said they were satisfied, and were doing well. We went further on to another of Mr. Bushes estates, where there were more of the emigrants, Who appeared to be in better spirits ; in fact, they appeared determined to sur mount all temporary difficulties, and show what can be done. They had planted gardens of many vegetables ; such as grow in this country, and they appear to be thriving. Corn grows luxuriantly, and three crops a year can be had from the same field. After spending a considerable time here we returned to town, highly gratified. By invitation, we dined with Mr. Bushe, where we met several gentlemen, who gave us every encouragement to emigrate to that island. The next day, through the kindness of Messrs. Bushe and Losh, we were furnished with horses ; a young gentleman also accompanied us. We started to fulfil an engagement with Mr: Jackson, where we arrived in a short time, and then rode with him through his extensive plantation, which, like all others, is in want of labourers to keep up the cultivation. After breakfast, our horses being ready, we set out through a beautiful valley to a cocoa plantation, owned by Mr. Jackson. It is a delightful retreat, with a fine house upon it ; this he offers to any respectable party upon advantageous terms — either to sell, lease, or work it upon shares. On the same property, is erected a mill, turned by water, to grind arrow root, for starch. This place has been in arrow-root, and would take but little trouble to cultivate it again. After spending an agreeable time, we took leave of our friend, and arrived in town before sunset. The next day, being Sunday, breakfasted with Mr. Bushe ; while there, were waited upon by a committee of four gentle men, requesting us to prolong our visit, in order to partake of a public dinner, which they tendered us. The list shown us, was signed by some of the most respectable and wealthy of the citizens ; but as we were then circumstanced, having made arrangements with a captain, in conjunction with Messrs. Smith and Shorter, (who were delegates from Ana polis) we could not revoke our engagement to start. Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock, set sail from Trinidad in the sloop Phoebe, for St. Thomas, in order to get passage home, as there are seldom vessels direct from this port to the United States. We arrived at St. Thomas, the Sunday fol lowing. _ _ _ _ _ On Tuesday, 31st March, sailed from St. Thomas in the brig Norfolk, Captain Matthews, for Philadelphia, where we arrived on the 11th of April. PRICES OF ARTICLES, AND PRICES GIVEN TO FIELD LADOURERS.—The price per task is 50 cents, and three tasks has and can be done by the American emigrant. Flour, 11 to 13 dollars per barrel. Bacon, 16 to 20 cents per pound. Fresh Beet, 10 cents per pound. Brown sugar, 12 1-2 cents per pound. Butter, 50 to 60 cents per pound. Coffee, 25 to 30 cents per pound. Tea, Ito 2 dollars per pound. Veal and Mutton, 20 to 23 cents per pound, and scarce. Fowls, 1 50 to 2 dollars per pair. Geese, 1 50 to 2 dollars each. Turkeys, 1 50 to 2 50 each. The great difference between Guiana and Trinidad is very perceptible upon the estates. In Guiana, every estate has the appearance of a manufacturing village. In Trinidad, the works, &c. upon estates are on a very small scale, and the lack of that animation and life which is everywhere found in Guiana at the time of making sugar. In Guiana all the works are propelled by steam-engines, and the mill is fed by the same power. The workman's labour is lightened in many ways by it. In Trinidad most of the works are propelled by mules, or water, and the manual labour is greater. The labourers' cottages, in general, are much more spacious and comfortable in Guiana, than those now in use in Trinidad. In conclusion, we unhesitatingly say, that. Trinidad is a tine and beautiful island, and possesses many advantages to the agriculturist; over the United States, but is' in want of but few, if any mechanics. As there appears a desire among many persons to know whether we intend to settle in either of those places, and which of the two we preferred, we thought it advisable to get through with the report to the public meetings, before we declare our intentions. We now declare our preference for Guiana. NATHANIEL PECK. IHOMAS S. PRICE. VESSEL BURNT AT SEA, AND PROVIDENTIAL PRESERVA TION ON THE CREW.—The Sardinian brig Telemachus, Capt. Suvoashy, from Genoa, bound to the Brazils, was discovered to be on fire on the Ist June, when about the equator. The captain and crew, after endeavouring to extinguish the fire, finding that, instead of diminishing, it gained on them, turned their thoughts towards their own safety, and hoisting out their boats (two in number) bade adieu to their ill-fated craft. After experiencing for five days and nights the horrors which the uncertainty of their final safety from their immense distance from land would naturally create, they were, on the Gth, in lat. 5 N., long. 27 27, picked up in a very weak state (by their long exposure to the air and their cramped situa tion) by the Orient, Captain William Taylor, from Sydney, New South Wales, (since arrived in the Downs,) and received all the attention which they required and Captain Taylor was able to render them. Thus thirteen human lives, after suffering the worst of sea perils, have, under Providence, been safely returned to their families. It is heedless to say that, with the exception of what the men had on at the time in the shape of clothes, they have saved nothing. PAGANINI.—" The will of Paganini has been opened at the Ge following Genoa," oa '' says accounta letter from of it s that contentsplace n D a eb s ats, " a authentic.nd The greater part of the fortune consists in houses and lands ; the remainder is in the funds in France, England, and Na ples. The total amount has been officially estimated at 1,700,000 francs, which is said to be rather an under than an over estimate. Paganini has left to his eldest s i s t er t h e life interest of a capital of 75,000 francs, which is, after her death, to be divided equally between her sons and daughters. To his youngest sister he has left a life interest of 50,000 francs, on similar conditions ; to a lady of Lucca, whose name the will declares is not to be mentioned, he has left 6000 francs .a-year for life, and to the mother of his son 1200 francs a-year for life. This lady is not a Jewess, as has been generally said, but a Roman Catholic, and a distin guished singer, who travelled with Paginini from 1823 to 1828, and sang in nearly all the concerts which he gave during that time. The bulk of the property, after deducting the legacies, is bequeathed to his son Achilles, who is, by the will, placed under the guardianship of the Marquis Lo renzo Pareto of Genoa." EXTRAORDINARY AND ROMANTIC SUICIDE On Thursday an inquest was held at the Newhold Inn, Leamington, on the bodies of two young women which had been found in the river Learn. The first witness examined was John Smith, a porter, who stated that as he was proceeding - to his work on Wednesday he found two bonnets and a shawl near the milldam of Mr. Oldham's mill. He immediately gave information of the discovery, and the river was dragged without delay. The result was the further discovery, first of the body of Eliza beth Varney, a married woman, aged 21, whose husband had lately enlisted as a soldier; and then that of Ann Smith, aged 18. No marks of violence were discoverable on either, and it was observed that their clothes appeared to have been selected and put on with studied neatness. W. Robins, the father of Elizabeth Varney, stated that since the enlistment of her husband she had been in an un settled state of mind, and could not be persuaded to remain at home. On the morning after her death he received a let ter, which he now produced. He had not seen .her for a fortnight. Jane Crump stated, that deceased had taken lodgings with her when she left her father, and that a person named Wm. Southam, whom she believed at first to be her husband, joined her there in the evening. On discovering the true nature of the connexion, she gave them notice to quit. Southam left on Sunday, and Varney continued there until Tuesday even ing, when she went out, and never afterwards returned. De ceased was engaged several hours in writing on the Tuesday. George Whorrall deposed, that on Tuesday evening Varney had said to'him in a jocular manner, as he thought, I shall drown myself to-night." The girl in his company, who was supposed to be Ann Smith, had said the same thing in the same tone. Varney was inquiring for Southam, who was believed to be keeping out of the way. William Wells, a servant out of place, saw the two deceased together on Tuesday night. The elder asked him to fasten her gown. She seemed flurried, and there was something melancholy in her laugh. They both on leaving him took a direction towards the mill. It was'proved in evidence that Smith also had become melancholy after being visited by a young man named George Jackson, and that she had been heard to say, " It will go on and on until I kill myself." She had borne an irreproachable character. The jury returned a verdict of " Found drowned." — Times. PORT PHILIP, SOUTH AUSTRALIA We have been permitted to make the following extracts from a private letter, dated " Ship John Bull, Port Philip, January 27, 1840 I am glad to inform you that we arrived here on Tues day, the 22d instant, after a pleasant voyage, not having had any rough weather since we passed the Canary Islands. Our passengers are all cm shore, except about a dozen. They all got places directly we arrived : the single females get about £2O a-year—the men about £4O or £5O, that is, farm ser vants, Sze. ;, clerks about £100; carpenters, &c. 12s. 6d. a-day. Every one seems to be making their fortunes fast. Fourteen acres of land that was bought a year ago, sold for £lOOO. Melbourne is pleasantly situated on the Yarrayarra, and contains about 7000 inhabitants. It has a very commo dious harbour, and large enough to allow any vessel in the English navy to ride in perfect safety. We are anchored about one mile from Williamstown (which is situated at the most northerly extremity of the harbour), and about four from Melbourne. I suppose we shall not be allowed to go on shore much, as they are afraid of us running away ; in deed, it is almost impossible for any one to leave the ship, as there is always an officer on the poop, and one of the ap rentices on the forecastle head : but, for all that, we ex pect we shall lose all the men yet before we leave. I suppose we are to go to Bombay from here with a cargo, though for what reason 1 do not at present know, and thence to Liverpool, which will very much shorten the voyage. The captain has bought a lot of land here, and is coming out with his family after we return to England. The wind is always blowing from the south, and is generally pretty fresh. The country quite charms us, but it is very low about the beach, and therefore very sandy ; but, I suppose, further in, the land is very good. Kangaroos are very plentiful 60 miles in, and mocking birds, paroquets, &c., are to be shot ashore. Every thing is very dear here ; two rooms. two guineas weekly ; Is. 6d. for a bed. Every settler, not a working man, who comes out here, should provide himself with either a tent or a house in frame. I should prefer the former, both as taking up less room in the ship's hold, or in your own berth while you are in the ship, and becailse they fetch a good price here ; one of the intermediate passengers brought one from London, cost £7 altogether, and here they are 50 guineas. I would also advise them to bring cot a few carpenters tools, spades, nails, &c., and as many pieces of duck, for trousers, &c., as possible, as clothes are very dear here. The Yarrayarra is a most beautiful river ; the inha bitants are very independent, and understand the fashions as well as any Cockney. Hunting coats, worn without waist coats, and with a broad shining leather belt, with a large brass buckle, are " quite colonial:" white moleskin trousers and a Manilla hat, very much like my China hat, although some have a brim three times as broad. There are two newspapers, the Gazette and another. I hope to have the pleasure of sending you one before I leave. There are lots of mosquitos here, and a fly about three times as large as the one you have in England. ** * I have had a very warm winter, though it is not so warm as I expected. * * * I am sitting here, at four in the afternoon with port, door, hatch, and every thing open, in nothing hilt a striped shirt and duck trousers,—is it not comfortable ?"—Manchester paper. • STATE OF. TRADE LEEDS.—The markets since our last have been rather better than of late, but the aggregate quantity of business transacted falls far short of what is usually done at this sea son in ordinary years. BRADFORD MARKET.—There was not so numerous an attendance of merchants at our market on Thursday, as we have been.accustomed to see at this season of the year; still the demand for manufactured goods was nearly as extensive as could have been expected in the present state,of the com mercial world, and prices were considered firm. In the yarn market scarcely an average business was done at former rates. The wool market is far from firm, and in the present uncer tain state of the wool trade the demand is by no means exten sive. In the course of a fortnight, after the principal wool markets have been held, something like an accurate idea of the wool trade may be formed, as regards the rate of prices. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.—This market exhibited much the same unsatisfactory aspect as for some weeks past. There were a few buyers who made extensive purchases, but prices still remain very unsatisfactory ; and, generally speaking, the demand is very limited. In light summer goods the de mand is greatly lessened, owing to the cold unsettled state of the weather. In wools there is little doing, and prices are nominal, and will remain so until the new clip is brought to market. In the warehouses, there is no change for the better. HECKMONDWIRE BLANKET HALL.—We have no better account togive of the state of trade in this business, the manufacturers cannot realize a living profit, and the demand is so contracted that a many looms are unemployed, with but little prospect of a favourable change. ROCHDALE MARKET, July 13.--We have had a duller market, if possible, than that of the preceding week. There have been very few buyers, and the business done has been limited in the extreme. Those who , have been obliged to sell have also been compelled to take less money for their goods. Wools may be quoted a shade lower. YORK WOOL MARKET, July 16.—We are again under .the painful necessity of reporting no improvement either in demand or price of this staple commodity, but on the con trary, a further decline of something near to one halfpenny per lb. upon this day se'nnight's quotation, viz.--Super Hog, 13d., Good Half Hog and Ewe, 12d., All Ewe, 10d to 11d., Locks and Cots, Gd to B d., Moor Wool, from 5d to 7d. per lb. DONCASTER WOOL MARKET, July 11.—The supply of wool offering this day was again large, with a numerous attendance of buyers. The business done in the morning was rather flat, but it rallied again, and eventually the mar ket was cleared of wool early. The following are the quota tions :—Hog Wool, 15s to 15s 6d. • Hog and Ewe, 13s to 14s 6d. ; Ewe, 12s Gd. to 13 s 6 d. ; Locks, 7s to Bs.
