THE DISTURBANCES IN BRITISH GUIANA.

Serious disturbances have occurred at Georgetown,
Barbie*, and other places throughout British Guiana, and
the shops of the Portuguese traders have hers pillaged and
deur yd by the negro p tpulstion. It appears that the
Portuguese emigrants were brought over to the colony as
labourers to work on the sugar estate., but being very
thrifty, industrious, and hard-working men, they have con-
trived to save money enough in • f,w years to start in bud-
nem as shopkeepirs end nincitaats on theft own account.
and generally they have been v. ry successful. Their shops,
•h cis are Mattered all over the c logy, hive been a great
boon to the labouring populetton, and have been the mew
of cheapening all the tourism, of life. Their success has
ezated a latent feeling of jealoasy among the Creole
perm, a feeling shored by the Africa emigrants and
[throes from the ulande. Towards the close of 1855, John
Sayers 0 r. better known in England and is America by
the cognomen of the " Angel Gabriel," returned to the
colony of which he is a Creole, and took up his abode in
Georgetown with hie smother. Otr. who lc Tehran &nett-
dun btu crested across riots att nded with bloodshed inflate
York, Nostreal, Greenock, and Glasgow, by the violence of
his Wertheim had not been many says in this colony before
be commenced wit 1 tit hum gees against the Riman catho-
lic., whom he amulet of all sorts of crimes and immoralities.
This preaching, however (aye the Royal Gaseiee),would not
have been sat cupsful in f imeetirg any oathreak, but having
discovered that there wee a considerable degree of smothered
jealously and ill feeling eateting between the negro p To-
ren°. sad the Portuguese, be adrcaly seised urn that and
mixed it up with his attacks on the Boman catholic,. Im
this he was only too successful; like a spars dropped upon
tinder, hostility against the Ports:loess Tread rapidly
throughout the city, and was soon colainuaioated to the
country districts. la Geo getown the Portuguese ware
assailed by men, women, anus children, with cries of "Down
with the Portuguese. I).lra with the Pope!" The Por-
tuguese exhibited very considerable forbearance.
Oa the 10th of February, Orr mounted the town pomp in
front of the Btabroek market, armed with a dagger sad
life-preeerver, sod addressed a large crowd of pir.ons in e
most tallammatery ma
Os the 15th the Governor, tering the ill-fouling which
Orr bad exci,ted, biased a fro:lunation forbidding unlawful
assemblages of to trots on the Erects. Oa the 17th Orr wee
prevented from preechlog in the street.; and he then pro-
corded to hie mother's 'ant and there he addressed the
mane who assembled to hear him. Aft r this meeting, on
Beaday evening, the disturbances commenced by the
Degrees attacking one or two l'o:taguese shops, and pelting
