consumers,

THE CONSUMPTION OF WINE IN PARIS in the
year 1863 amounted to 2,696,526 hectolitres, which gave
one hectolitre and a half to every man, woman, and child
inhabiting the city ; but children drink little wine, and
many women drink none. Excluding women and children,
the wine consumed in Paris amounts to three hectolitres
a head for each male inhabitant. The quantity of liquid
consumed, however, is much greater, inasmuch as the
2,696,526 hectolitres of pure wine of which duty is paid at
the gates of Paris is greatly adulterated by the addition of
water and other ingredients after it passes into the posses-
sion of the retailers.— Times.

THE INSURRECTION IN JAMAICA.
SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 16.
The insurrection in Jamaica seems to be a pre-
mature outbreak, resulting from the arrest of one
of the conspirators who was to figure in the general
rising of natives on next Christmas-day. A number
of men, some of influence, had been travelling the
country for some time, addressing meetings on the
subject of negro wrongs, telling them they were
oppressed and ground down by taxes. This excited
the people, and they determined to seize the land
from all the landowners, white and coloured ; and,
after killing all the males and children, to share the
lands and women among themselves. A lading
man of the party was wanted for some crime, and,

on an attempt being made to arrest him, he raised a
revolt in his .district, fortunately for the people of
Jamaica, prematurely. Had the natives risen all
over the island at Christmas, the whites and better
class of coloured people would have all probably
been murdered.

The volunteers and troops fought well, and by
vigorous measures put down the rebellion.
Upwards of 200 rebels have been shot or executed.
Some accounts give 400 as the number of rebels
executed. Some most barbarous murders were
perpetrated by the rebels, they having in the remote
and rude districts almost gone back to their savage
state. Many of the bodies of their victims in the
interior were terribly mutilated.

Paul Bogle, the leader of the rebel party, was
captured on Oct. 24, and brought in by the Maroons,
a reward of $2,000 having been offered for his head,
dead or alive. He was tried by court-martial on
the day the steamer sailed, and he, being known as
their leader, will without doubt be executed.
Gordon, the instigator of the rising, was tried
and condemned to death on the 21st and hanged on
the 23d.

Several arrests had been made in Kingston.

The disaffection, from the latest and most reliable
accounts, has only been prevented from spreading,
but the rebellion in great measure subdued. The
majority of rioters, including most of the ringleaders,
have been killed or taken, and peace and good order
was expected to reign throughout the island by next
packet.

Five hundred troops had arrived from Barbadocs,
and gone into the disturbed districts.
The Aurora and Galatea left Dominica for
Jamaica on the 25th inst. All was quiet at King-
ston when the mail left.

The following is an extract from a despatch a
General Nelson :

" Head-quarters, Mount Bay, Oct. 24.
" The great rebel, Paul Bogle, has been captured
by the Maroons, under command of Colonel Fyfe.
His trial will forthwith begin. There is not a
chance of his escaping the punishment he so well
deserves. At 6 p.m., Moses Bogle (brother of Paul
Bogle), George Craddock (secretary to Paul Bogle),
and J. M'Laren (occasional secretary), and Barron,
called Captain-General, a notorious rebel, were
hanged. Paul Bogle's son-in-law, and the man
who first entered Mr. Fare's house, await execution.
Colonel Fyfe reports that he has captured a number
of the rebels armed with cutlasses, but no time to
give names."
