ARRIVAL. FROM JAMAII'A.-LIVERPOOL, NOV. 4.

The West India and Pacific steamer American, Captain
Crompton, arrived in the Mersey on Saturday nigh; with
dates from Kingston. Jamaica, to Octolicr 13. The
Kingston Morning Journal of the 13th says : " Strange
rumours have been in circulation during the past two day%

respecting the tnxuquillity of :it. Thomas-in-the.Eaat. Thu
common report is, that another distur%ance had been
created, and two policemen killed ; and that troops had
been under orders to proceed to Morant Bay." The same
paper, in reference to the above report, maps : " We 11.1vo
every reason to believe that there is not the slightest
foundation for alarm, and that the reports in question

.
have been got up by certain mischievous persons for rea-
sons best known to themselves." The Governor-in-chief
has appointed Messrs. Mackinnon, Dloncrieffe, and Mac-
clonal.' as members of the new government in Jamaica.
Lil-:TRA DES REFORM DEMONsTRATION. —OnSatur-
day evening a special meeting of the Trades Demonstration
Committee, comprising about 40 delegates selected from the
general body, was held at the Brougham-hall. Fleet-street,
to receive a report from the organisation committee as
to the progress of the movement. Mr. George Potter, who
has been chosen as president of the movement, occupied the
chair. The secretary reported that since the last general
delegate meeting, with but few exceptions, every trade of
any size or importance in the metropolis had joined the
movement, and those that had not, from the stringency of
their rules regarding political action, were being called
together in aggregate meetings by the organisation com-
mittee as a trade, but independent of the trade society.
The compositors would thus meet on Wedneeday next ;
the leiiikliinilere on the following Monday, and so on.
Thousands of tickets, without which no person would be
admitted to the enclosed grounds, hail been purchased by
the delegates for their various societies, at the price fixed,
Pd. each, from which the expenses attending the demon-
strations would be defrayed. The committee found a
difficulty in getting these tickets supplied fast enough to
meet the demand. The various delegates having given in
their report as to the enthusiasm displayed in t he movement
in every trade which they had visited, the meeting then
proceeded to discuss various parts of the programme, and
a sub-committee was appointed to prepare a plan. It was,
however, decided that each trade should keep its own
banner for its especial use, but that a signal flag,
with the name of the trade plainly inscribed thereon,
should be provided by the committee, to be borne in front
of each trade. Several banners, with inscriptions, such as
" The Suffrage--we mean to have it this time !" The
Suffrage—Refuse it if they dare!" kc., were resolved upon,
and large placards and advertisements to the following
effect were ordered to be got ready at once :—" Trade
Unionists ! Remember, remember the 3rd of December !
No work on that day--'tie the Reform holiday ! Trades
and friendly society members, let your employers know
that you mean to devote the 3r.1 of December to reform.
No work on that day ! All workshops must be closed !"
and others of a similar description. It was also resolved
to recommend to the general body of delegates to pass a re-
solution at their next meeting, calling upon the employers
of labour in the metropolis to do what they are all so
ready to do in honour of a royal marriage or other similar
festivity, and close their workshops on the day of the
people's reform holiday, Dec. 3.
Snoeuisro DEATH. —A shocking state of immo-
rality and destitution existing in Bloomsbury was brought
to light on Saturday at an inquest held by Dr. Lankeater on
the body of Anne.liall, aged 21 years. The unfortunate
deceased lived with a man named Charles Allen, at
No. n, Russell-place, Little Coram-street, Bloomsbury,
and it appeared from the evidence that both parties had
lived with each other as man and wife since they were a
little over 10 years of age. Four year* ago the deceased
was delivered of a child in the SL Gibes Workhouse,
and about a fortnight since she gave birth to a
child, being unattended by doctor or midwife. Im-
mediately after her illness the deceased got out
of bed, and, without shoe or stocking, went down-
steirs to a wet cellar, in which she washed her child's
clothes. Having been taken ill. Dr. Barrett, medical officer
of the St. Giles's Workhouse, was sent for, and in his evi-
dence he thus described the state in which he found the
unhappy woman:—" When I saw the deceased on Mon-
day, I found her in a most fearful state of destitution.
There was not a table in the room, or a chair, or a sub-
stitute for a chair. She was lying, dressed in rags, on a
bed which was literally a bundle of rags. She was very
bad, and I asked her to go into the workhouse, but she
would not do so. There was not a morsel of firing in the
room, nor anything to conduce to the comfort of the de-
ceased. On the Tuesday she was take. in to the work-
house, and died in two and a half hours after her admis-
don," A neighbour, named Mary Anne Norris, said
that the deceased stated, when asked to go into the work-
house, that she would rather die than enter it. The
coroner said the case seemed tobe one almost of suicide,
because here was a woman who actually died from want of
that care and attention which she could have had, but
which she refused to avail herself of. The jury returned a
verdict, in accordance with the medical testimony, to the
effect that the deceased died from inflammation of the
lungs, brought on by the deceased exposing herself after
her confinement, and that her death was accelerated by
want of proper care and attendance.
