THE EVENTS IN JAMAICA.

A letter from Dr. Angus, written to the Times,
dates that the ustive beptista in Jamaica existed in various
parts of the island roma time before any missionaries were
sent from Englend. When Mr. Knibb was secured
honourable men of all parties bore public testimony to his
peaceable character. During the rebellion Weeleyan and
Baptist chapels were burnt down with equal impartiality.
The whole subject demands an impartial inquiry,
which might prove • boon alike to the planters and to the
peasantry of the West Indies and America. The Rev.
Philip Hams, incumbent of St. Geories, Wigan, writes to
the Diviis News strongly miitaadvertiog on the conduct of
Governor Eyre and the military authorities. Mr. Clime.
roveow expresses his belief that Governor Eyre's course in
illegally arresting Mr. Gordon and transferring him to •
military tribunal for an offence which, even admitting his
alleged guilt, was committed before the declaration of
martial law. brings him within the operation of the 11th
and 12th William IIL, e. 12, namely, "An Act to
punish Governors of Plantations in this Kingdom
for Crimes by them committed in the Planta-
tions." This act applies to all persons holding civil or
military appointments in the colonies, and renders them
amenable to plaice in this country. It would therefore
apply to Brigadier-General Nelson. "Is there a member
of parliament,' says Mr. Chamerovtow, "bold enough, or
is the publis opinion of the country strong enough. to de-
mand the application of this act? We shall see." Mr.
Cbainerovzow also publishes the following letter which wee
addressed by the late Mr. Gordon in March last to Mr.
Cardwell:

Jamaica, March 24. 1863.
To the Right Holman&le Edward Cardwell, M.P., Secretary
of State for the Colonise, Ico.
Sir.—l have to bring to your notice on behalf of the
people of this country, the following facts, whico are sub-
mitted as grievances.
The lions. of Assembly, as at present oosstitnted, by
meson of the restrictions in the Election Law (whiob has
been amended only to a very limited extent), cannot be
said to be a fair representation of popular righta therefore
it becomes more for the mother government to exercise
that vigilance which in former times so greatly tended to
the protection of the lately emancipated elver, and it is
much to be regretted that such is not continued to be the
ease.
From gross mismanagement, and for wasteful purposes,
the taxation of the country is increased, without correspond-
ing beaett to the general community. A flagrant illustra-
tion of this mar be fouod in the history of the " Tramroad"
affair which, lissides having involved the country in • heavy
expenditure of money, creating additional taxation, hassle*,
by interfering with the principal public road, cu
rious loss of stock to the passengers, arid irritated the
minds generally of the people who traffic on this thorough-
fare. We here Soil a sample of the ruinous consequences
of miecoaductiog public affairs ; but ere this is got over,
the governor, in his opening speech, recommends a project
for "Slip Dock," which rook, if at all necessary, is of a
