THE JAMAICA AETHOHMES.—The Jamaica 00E,
respondent of the Times writes:—" As Provost-Marshal
Ramsay is to take his trial for murder, it will be improper
to prejudge the case against him by any remarks of mine.
He does not, however, deny that the man Marshall was
hung by his sole authority, and the simple issue will be whe-
ther the Act of Indemnity protects him in hanging, without
appeal, from considerations of public safety, any prisoner
who insulted him, or who, in his opinion weak-
ened his authority. Another man, hardly less noto-
rious than Ramsay, is the black soldier Corporal Phillips,
who is charged with having, on his own mere motion,
flogged prisoners at Leith Hall, and even with hanging or
shooting them when no officers were by to stay his hand.
In this case also criminal proceedings have been instituted
by the colonial executive. Clearly it would be the
height of injustice to Mr. Eyre or to British
officers concereol in suppressing the outbreak, if they
were held responsible for individual acts of this
outrageous nature. The unknown black soldier who
in his mad march from Manehioneal shot, one after the
other, ten pri-oners whom he met in custody along the
road ; the volunteers who compelled a father to flog his
own daughter ; the Maroons who shot negroes principally,
as it seems, because they were suspected Obeah men; and
those persons who at Bath suggested and allowed the use
of wire cats mud take upon themselves the odium and
punishment which the-e atrocities deserve."
TalclifflA rie Poex.—A Committee of the
Chicago Academy .of Sciences, which haa been en-
gaged
the d
Trichinae in pork, report
that they found them in the muscles of
twentyeight hogs out of one thousand three hun-
dred and ninety-four examined, and they conclude
that in the hogs brought to Ciiitssgo one in fifty is
affected with trichinas% in a greater or lees degree.
As a security, the committee say that it is simply
necessary to cook the meat thoroughly, so that
were portion shell have experienced a temperatnre of at
least one hundred degrees of Fahrenheit. The oom-
mittee add that the excitement has, with little doubt,
been fostered by interested persons for speculative
purposes, witil people have come to imagine that
there is • danger in eating podr of any kind--n
danger all the mare terrible nee hidden, little
understood, and undisoovereble by ordinary. means.
All this excitement has occurred before a single in-
stance of the occurrent* of trichinae in American
hogs has been, as fez as We are aware, authentically
reported. In our view, it would be folly to discard
this kind of meat from cur list of articles of food,
when all
_possibility of injury attending its use may
be avoided by the most simple means. Let the people
bet an terstand that only one hog in forty-eight contains
trichin e at all, that only one in three hundred contains
them i t sufficient numbers to canes considerable danger,
and even in these eases the worms are rendered innocuous
by proper smoking, drying, or cooking; and we imagine
that few sensible persons will refuge pork as food if it
snits their convenience to use it.—. Year York kihipptag
