PRIVATE LETTER FROM JAMAICA.

The following in an extract front a private letter
just received from Jamaica :
"The planters have at length been gratified. They have
been wishing for years to wreak their vengeance on the
poor darlveoloared race for obtaining their emsecipatiou,
and for refusing to work for men who would pay and treat
them as pariahs. The planters have found willing tools in
Governor Eyre and General Nelson. Of courts the British
government will support their own officers. S

blacks have been flogged and hung who had no MOTO

of England. Every coloured man who ban expressed him.
self dissatisfied with taxation, or who has associated with
those who have done so, bas been hunted down. English
soldiers and sailors seem to have forgotten their mantises'
and have taken the most fiendish delight in torturing the
poor creatures who have been handed over to them. If
ever there was • martyr it is poor Gordon. What would
have been said if Richard Cobden bad been prat to death
for advocating the claims of English operatives against
she selfishness and oppression of English landowners.
Will the English press and the religions bodies in England
take the matter up I wonder. and prevent the whole race
of Englishmen from being charged with being liable to be
ridiculously penie.stricken, and to be guilt, of the meet
atrocious inhumanity? The poor black serer have suffered
for the Indian mutiny. The insu has been
brought on by bad government, and a few cut-throats such
as are found in any country took advantage of a political
riot to see" and murder. But why should a whole race
suffer! Ake, I fear the wrongs and sufferings of the
African rue are to be 'tonal."
