OUR CONTEMPORARIES.

(THIS DAY.)

THZ JAMAICA
That which vexes us most in the Jamaica insur-
rection, according to the Times, is that it destroys our
dreams of the triumph of humanity, the improvement of
noes, and the removal of primeval curses, to say nothing of
the way it reminds us of oar expeaditure of twenty
millions of mousy. Head and heart the descendants of
King Dahomey are the same as when they could slay
thousands to fill a trench with human gore. Of coarse we
shall hear • great deal about the strong measures taken to
stamp out the flame. There will be plenty of critics
both abroad and at home to review at their leisure the
proceolinp of the courts-martial, the summary sentences
and rapid executions, the reprisals upon chapels and
cottages found to contain spoil. We may ourselves wish
(continued the Times) that the tone of the despatches had
been more guarded, but we know that the wish is utterly
idle. Martial law is the law of necessity, for there is
choice under such circumstances. A few men follow-
fog the scent of treuon or 'blood, through • difficult
country, in the hands of the foe, cannot encumber them-
solves with prisoners. A rising of this sort must be
trashed at once, and if a few hundred soldiers and volun-
teer' are to do the work of • large army, they must eves!.
where finish their work thoroughly, leaving nothing to
the morrow.
The Daily News repels the charge of precipitancy brought
against it by the Glok. Those who deserve it are those
who before the mail arrived pronounced a confident opinion
upon the character of the rising, and who, when the letters
came, adopted all the fears and imaginations of the
planter class without hesitation or inquiry. It is not
the repressive measures which are condemned, but the
fiendish gratification of the lust of vengeance after
resistance bad ceased ; the stirring op and letting loose of
bloodhounds like the maroons, not to fight, but to seek out
frightened men and women from their hiding-placed, and
shoot them down without a pretence of icquiry. Waters
was the law when stragglers of whom nothing was known
were brought in and flogged thirty at • time, and those who
looked amiss were taken out and shot? One consolation is
that the met in Jamaica whose atrocities Louisiana, in
bit worst days, never summed. although they may
degrade no before the world, are not really British, but
West Indians. These men have demonstrated their utter
unfitness to be trusted with power for • single day, and
we are all dishonoured men and women until some Asps
have been takes to purge ourselves from complicity in the
savage acts done by these people in our name.
The Past regards the enthusiastic loyalty of the mamas
as one of the most satisfactory features of the last Jamaica
news. It goes to show that Jamaica Degrees are not neut•
eerily incorrigible. The insurrection Butt however, is •
dreadful disaster, and must give a downward impetus to
the colony. The whites are decreasing, and those who
remain, as shown by the scenes in the House of Assembly,
are of • very inferior dage,—a large proportion
of the members being needy adventurers and men of
broken reputation. This is • state of matters as difficult
to deal with as Duro sloth and insubordination. It is
a question whether the imperial government should not
under such circumstances keep in abeyance the prescut
nukes representative system, or if temporising measures
do not find favour make of Jamaica • crown colony.
The vigour of action and moderation in the use of victory
cbaracterUieg the suppression of the rebellion are deserving,
the Herald mays, of all possible praise. The punishment
of the criminals appears to have been performed finely, yet
without excess or cruelty. The merry which has been ex-
hibited may actuate as a beneficent example.
The Telegraph thinks the vast majority of Englishmen
will not too nicely scrutinies the acts of officers who were
auddenly;thrust into a position involving terrible reopen-
sibilities.
The Star observes that although not an iota of
authentic information concerning the causes and objects of
the rebellion has reached this country most of its contem-
poraries take for greeted the most extravagant surmised&
The Star states that among the auspect,d persons who
have been arrested in Kiegstoe, nearly all denominations
are represented. The Rev. J. Roach ia a native Wesleyan;
Alexander Jefriea and Thomas Harry are Congrega-
tionalists ; the Rev. Edwin Palmer, W. Harris, Robert
Dick, and Robert Davison, are native Baptiste ;
while J. E. Colima, late sergunt of police, W. Kelly
Smith, and Robert Davis are members of the church of
England, one of them having been a catechist for several
years. The list might be extended, and the names of ass.
ported clergymen of the established church might be added.
With so much falsehood and representation to contend
against, Mr. Cardwell's path is not likely to be au easy one;
but if he determines to despatch c commission of inquiry to
Jamaica, he will soon discover on which aide the truth lies.

It is certain, the Saturday Review says, that the white
residents are thoroughly frightened, and their alarm boa
produced the common result of extreme severity to retalia-
tion. It is time the administration of justios should be taken
out of their hands. Mr. Cardwell has probably by this time
despatched stringent orders for the prevention of further
vindictive measures. As far as a definite impression is con-
veyed by a mast of incoherent statements, the rebellion is
oonflued to one or two parishes at the eastern extremity of
the island, but whether local or the result of &premeditated
and extensive design of mean" there are still loyal negrore,
who ought not to be alienated by a persecution of their kin-
dred. The employment of the Maroons, and the alleged
neoessity of meeting an outburst of savagery with a
horde of barbarian alike, has an awkward look ; and
the swift and perhaps not always discriminating vengeance
with which the insurrection has been suppressed may ave
destroyed much evidence ss to ita real objects which h

meat to possess.
The Economist views it as a matter of course that there
must be hereafter as inquiry into the reasons of the
severity displayed, and especially into the conduct of
Colonel Hobbs. The rebellion is pliiirdy suppressed.
and the only task remaining to Mr. Cardwell is to
prevent the recurrence of manes so discreditable to the
British name. There are some few facts in Jamaica which
can be proved almost to demonstration ; first, that the
immense majority of the population-32 is every 33—are
exceedingly discontented, so discontented that any change
seems to there as if it would be a relief ; secondly,
that the island does not advance either in wealth,
Productiveness, or any department of civilisation.
Thirdly, that these evils are not inherent either in soil, or
race, or relation of employee to employed, as they are not
found under the same conditions of soil, race, Led employ.
meat in Barbados. Fourthly, that the system of goyim%
meat is not one under which the discontent can be re.
moved, sr the retrogression in any degree arrested.
If these fear points are conceded, and they are really, the
Economist says, beyond argument, it follows that unless
some insuperable obstacle exists, a new and better form of
local government ought to be devised.
The John 8011, after recording the deeds of Colonel
Hobbs, urges on the goverameut the necessity of taking
instant action to prevent similar horrors being enacted in
the Queen's name. Fearful as has been the outbreak of
savage frenzy, and horrible as are the details that have
°owe to band, they are nothing, it says, compared with
such brutal and wholesale retaliation. The blacks deserved
• severe lessee, but it should have been administered in a
far different spirit. The course adopted, apparently with
the mutual consent of the military and civilians, is simply
the result of a frenzy of (rm. It can have no permanent
effect in subduing the natives ; • calm and dignified coarse
of conduct, indicative of no fear, would have had a very
different result.

DEPUTATION TO EARL GRAMVILLE.--(THIS DAY.)
Thin morning a joint deputation of delegates of
the 'rendre Association of London, also a deputation ap-
pointed at a public meeting held on Tuesday last at Cam-
at Hall, waited epee Earl Granville, by appointsnest,
at his private resideoce, to present a memorial from the re-
preeentativee of the workieg men of Loodon, respectfully pro-
testiog against the removal of the cartoons of Raphael
from Hampton Cond (where they wore visible to
the public on • Sunday) to South Kensington Menem,
where they are not to be seen by waking men on the only
day when they can examine them by daylight.
Mr. Mosam and Mr. J. B. Lertotsr introduced the
decantation and explained its object.
In the coarse of a conversation,
Mr. J. B. LAWN= adverted to the fact that many publi•
cans bad found it to their advantage to establish museumsSuoday
on their premises which were densely crowded on
evening. By some 'diabetics published in the Bonconformiat,
it would appear that there was only accommodation in the
churches and chapels of the metropolis for 57 per *sok of
those who might reasonably be supposed to pa to Shim With
only me or two exceptions the churches and chapels were
half rowded, and hence it was a fair inference that only one
hlf of the admit population went to any place of worship.
Mr. Mosimit, instanced the Botanical gardens in
Dublin, which, he said, were °petted on Sundays, and thus
rendered theq,
question one of mere local importance instead
of a national one.
Earl GRARTILLE said that arose from the fact that public
opinion war more generally
and definitely expressed ,is
Dublin upon the gelation than in London"'
Alter some further observations by Mr. Ificitheort and
others,
Earl GRAIMILLE entered into a conversation, during which
he said that whilst his own views coincided with three ex-
pressed by the deputation upon the tub queo, it
was impossible for the governmetat :Abort con-
sidering the wishes of the House of Comma's, and he would
like to take a few days before giving any definitive reply.
His lordship also expressed his pleasure that the depubatioa
had waited upon him.
Mr. WORRELL then thanked his lordship for his coutiory
and the &Petition with which he had listened to the ergo-
meets of the deputation for upwards of au hoar and his
lordship having gracefully replied, the deputation with-
