THZ DITIOTTIZOPTS OP PAM
The Times this morning publishes a letter from Mr. Tits,
assuring the public that no improvements whatever, either
in Loudon or Paris, over psy for themselves in mere money
returns, and that in point of fact the dead loss is about
the same in both capitals. That loom he estimates os a
rough average at some 60 per omit. As examples of this cal-
culation be tells us that the cost of the Rue de Riven has
been 4,346,3201., its produce 1,293,3241.; of the Boulevard
fiebertopol, 2,346,6631., with a return of 953,1771.; while
the Great Market, the most productive of these works, has
yielded only 1,002,9271. towards the repayment of 1.271,8401.
The Timm supposes, therefore, we must divest ourselves
of the pleasing idea that we can be accommodated for
nothing, but the mere recital of what is *dually done,
somehow or other, in the city of Paris, is enough to stake
us envious of French capacities. Sixty-four English miles
of new and commodious thoroughfares, twelve new bridges,
all free of toll, nine large churches, immense extensions of
the hospitals, gee mains more than doubled, water supply
increased more than fivefold, and 50,000 trees transplanted

for the purposes of decoration or shade—these are some of
the works actually executed for the accommodation of the
Parisian public within the last few years. What would we
sot give is London for such a catalogue of achievements ?
Mr. Tile replies to this questioo, and tells that we could
oertaisly sot be induced to give what they give in France.
Nevertheless there was never a time when people in
Ragland were at ones so full of money and so free with
it, and what we complain of in London is that in many
seat important matters money canaot bring us what we
waet. The French pools have at least this advantage,
that they get all they can want, though bow or what they
pay for it may be a questionable matter. We gel nothing,
or next to nothing, of all these good things, though we are
essiainly not living tax free.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE WEST INDIA MAIL.

THE JAMAICA COMMISSION.
We have this afternoon received letters and ad-
vice, from Jamaica by the arrival of the West India
Mail, up to Feb. 24. From the packet summary
of the Kingston Morning Journal, we take the fol-
lowing soconnt of the proceedings of the oommis-
don :

The Royal Commission have been sitting from day to
day, hearing the evidence of all who are brought before
them of every oondition of life, who are able to
throw light on the cause of the disturbances
and the WWI employed foe their suppression. The
proosediep have been watched by Messrs. Gerrie, Payne.
and PhiUippo, on behalf of Dr. traderhill, Mrs. Gordon,
and other sufferers, and by Mr. Walcott, ea behalf
of Mr. Eyre. Abundant testimony has bees gives
as to the cruelties practised in the measures
of retaliation adopted by the authorities. It is now
proved beyond doubt that a great many were imaged
and shot upon far less evidence this that which
Commander Bread thongbt sufficient to warrant
the execution of Mr. Gerdes ; that some were
disposed of without any form of trial whatever ;
that men and women had been indiscriminately dogged,
receiving punishment varying from twelve to one hundred
lashes ; that the oats for the most part need wets made
of an intermixture of oord and win; that a system
prevailed for some time of forcing those who had hese
flogged to run the gauntlet amidst blows indicted by sticks,
stones, the butt end of guns, and any other missiles which
the bystanders may bare at bead ; that the house
of many unoffeoding persons had bees burnt and their
property destroyed, one remarkable insiseoe being
that of a woman whose hoetaad had base
shot, her house and its oosteele deliberately de-
stroyed by flea and she and her sine children left to find
food and shelter the beet manner they coal& We refer to
these facts generally, they having been corroborated by
successive witnesses.
The witnesses examined include the Attorney-
General, Mr. Justice Kerr, Dr. Fiddes, and Mr.
T. W. Jackson, the stipendiary magistrate, who
served in the disturbed district. The Attorney-
General said he had not been consulted upon any

single matter or topic.
AU the political prisoners tried by the special
commission for seditious language and writings
have been found guilty, and sentences of from 20
days to 12 months' imprisonment have been pro-
nounced.

Mr. Levien, proprietor of the County Union,
hu been sentenced to imprisonment for 12 months,
for libellous articles spinet the government

A charge of murder has been preferred against)
Mr. Gordon Duberry Ramsay ; but he has been al-
lowed to go at Large on bail, the amount of surety
demanded being 2001.
The Commissioners hoped to conclude the taking
of evidence about the 10th of this month, and that
Mr. Gurney and Mr. Mauls would return to Bur
land by the packet leaving on the 24th.
