Toss JaMalcA 0 UTEAGFS. —Last evening a Dll-
merou2ly attended public meeting in connexion with the
Baptist Missionary Society was held in the Metropolitan
Tabernacle, Newington, for the purpose of adopting an
address of sympathy to the ministers and missionaries con-
nected with tbe society in Jamaica. Mr. A. Angus Croll
having been voted to the chair, briefly opened the pro-
ceedings, after which the meeting was addressed by the
Rev. Mr. Davey, the society's missionary in the Bahamas,
and the Rev. Mr. Cattennes. The Rev. William Brock
then moved the following resolution :—" That this meeting
Navin heard with feelings of the deepest regret of the
events that have interfered with the progress of the eman-
cipated people of Jamaica in civilisation and prosperity,
and eepecially of the lamentable transactions connected
with the recent riots at fitment Bay, they offer their
warmest sympathies and support to the ministers and mis-
sionaries cossetted with the Baptist Missionary Society
who have been singled out as the objects of opprobrium sod
reproach, this meeting having the full assurance that their
labours and ministry have been characterised by loyalty to
the crown, by observance of the laws and institutions of
Jamaica, by an earnest sod saccade] effort to instruct the
people in the fear of God and obedience to every lawful
authority." The resolution was seconded by the Hon. and
Rev. Baptist Noel, and cordially adopted.
Ma. W. E. BAXTER, M. P. , AND TAE CONFEDERATE
MAN.—The New York Times of the 15th publishes the
following letter from Mr. W. L Baxter, M.P. :—" Dundee,
Scotland, Dec. 29, 1861 —To the Editor of the New York
Times.—l am surprised to see my name in a list of British
sobeeribers to the Confederate loan, which has been circu-
lated on your side the Atlantic. During the last four
years :I have been one of the most ardent sympathisers
with the Northern people in their struggle to vindicate
the principle+ of free constitutional government, assailed
by the slave-owning aristocracy of the South, who had
too long been dominant in your great republic, and
who, when beaten at the polls, attempted by insurrec-
tion to destroy one of the best governments in the world.
Never for a moment did I lose faith in the ability
of the Northern States to pus down a rebellion the most
unjustifiable in history, and I rejoice to think that their
triumph has not only strengthened and consolidated the
power of the Union, but has given an impetus to liberty all
over the world. The struggle has all along appeared to me
so important that my mind was engrossed by it almost to
the exclusion of British politics, sad these being my senti-
ments openly proclaimed in public ever since the commence-
mint of the war, to say nothing of the folly of the invest-
ment, I would just as soon have subscribed to assist the
despots of Europe or the Emperor of Cbioa, as have given a
shildog in aid of a cause the success of which would have
been thereateet calamity that ever betel America.—l am,
sir, your obedient servant, W. E. Beirut, M.P. foe Mon-
trose Distiel of liurgbs."
