FINE ARTS.

We were favoured this day with a private view of a
magnificent Candelabrum, which, as the inscription on the
pedestal states, was presented to. the Marquis, of Sign
by the negroes of Jamaica. This handsome Candelabrum
is formed by the Arica palm. tree—which- is the type of
West Indian liberty; froM whose fe.ii Fiery and 'graceful,
top; spring elegant brancaes for sev,,n, 14114. At the
feot of the tree is a greupe of West Indian negroes, and
this groupe, which is designed with great skill, is hap-
pily typical of their present connit.on—or rather.
of what it will be a few years hence. A male negro,
no longer the white man's slave, is' explaining what he
has'Sust been reading from a book resting in his hand,
to a female who is seated. by his side, nursing her in-
fant—an interest in whose welfare she is now, for the
first time for centuries, permitted to feel and encour;,ge.
In the back-ground is a young lad, who is represented
sporting With a goat; now allowed to 'be 4omestieated.
This groupe, is ingenimisly illustrative of peace and bappi-
mess in private life. The merit of the whole design of this
splendid Candelabrum is due to Messrs. 'Green and Ward,
of Coekspur-strect, who, ave acquitted themselves of their
task, with consummate' skill-find taste: The following is
the inscription affixed on the pedestal of this striking work.
of Art:— , '

Presented
To the Most Noble Howe Peter, Marquis of
By the Negroes of Jamaica,

In testimony of the grateful remembrance they entertain
for his unremitting efforts to alleviate their sufferings and
to redress their wrongs; during his just and enlightened
administration of the Government of the Island, and of the
respeet.and gratitude they fecl towards his excellent Lady
and family, for the kindness and sympathy displayed to-
wards theni. 1837. , .
