FACES ON THE BATTLEFIELD.--After the battle of
Inkerman the faces of many of the dead still wore a
smile, while others had a threatening expression. Some
lay stretched on their backs, as if friendly hands had pre-
pared thorn for burial. Some were still resting ou one
knee, their hands grasping their muskets. In some in-
stances the cartridge vemained between the teeth, or the
musket was held in ono hand, and the other was uplifted
as though to ward off a blow, or appealing to Heaven.
The faces of all were pale as though cut in marble. As
the wind swept across the battlefield it waved the hair,
and gave the bodies such an appearance of life that a
spectator could hardly help thinking that they wero
about to rise to continue the fight. Another surgeon,
describing the appearance of the corpses on the field of
Magenta, says that they furnish indubitable proof that
man may cease to exist without suffering the least pain.

to be out of danger. During the battle of Solferino a
rifleman was wounded in the head by a ball, which passed
through the skull and buried itself in the brain. His
wound was dressed, and he was stretched on straw, with
his head resting on his knapsack, like his wounded com-
rades. He retained the full use of his faculties, and
chatted about his wound almost with indifference, as ho
filled his pipe and lay smoking it. Neverthlese, before
ho had finished it death came upon him, and he was found
lying in the same attitude, with his pipe still beneath his
teeth. Ho had never uttered a cry, or given any sign
that he was suffering pain. In cases where the ball had
entered the heart, nearly the same appearances were pre-
sented as in the cases of those who had been struck in the
brain ; death was what we term instantaneous, but it was
not quite so swift as in the former case ; there was gene-
rally time for a movement in the act of dying. Thera was
a Zouavo who had been struck full in the breast ; ho
was lying on his rifle, the bayonet was fixed, aty-ide point-

was drawn back in the act of striking. On another battle-

BREAKFAST BEvEßAGll.—Homceopathic practitioners, and
the medical profession generally, recommend COCOA a., be ry.;

homoeopathy was first introduced into this country, there
were to be obtatacd no preparations of cocoa either attrac-
tive to the taste or accepta' le to the stomach ; the not was
either sup:4ied in the crude state, or so unskilful .y manu-

homoeopathic chemist, was induced in the year 16.19 to turn
his attention to 'his subje t, and at length sucsceded, with
the wsistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first to
produce an article pure in its composition, a id so refined by
the pert• et trituration it re:elves in the process it passes •

Governor for seditious harangues, having always
had, it seems, the idea of being a popular leader.
What more could be asked than that a black man
should have the power to acquire and to retain
large property, to take part in the legislation of the
country, and even to administer the laws ? Yet the
evidence against this man, loud in his professions
of religion, is most overwhelming. The plan of the
whole atrocious rebellion was found drawn up in his
own writing, and it was noticed that on the day of
the attack on the court-house, Mr. GORDON, though
generally a regular attendant at the meeting, was
absent. This wretched man, having been tried by
court-martial, was hung on the morning of the 23d
ult., receiving a more merciful doom than he had
decreed his victims. The Maroons, who have
behaved with great fidelity and courage, perhaps
from having been included in the danger, have also
succeeded in capturing PAUL BOGLE, with whom, as
we have said, the revolt originated. He will pro-
bably before this have suffered the full penalty of
the law ; his brother, MOSES BOGLE, and several
others of his chief associates had been hung when
the mail left, and it is said that over 200
rebels have been shot or executed. Many
arrests have been made, several of them in
Kingston itself, and among these we are sorry to
find the names of four Reverends, two of them
being Baptist ministers. Why the members of this
profession should have taken part in this terrible
business is quite incomprehensible. It is to be
hoped that whoever selects persons for the difficult
task of evangelising the black race will henceforth
be more careful whom they appoint. For some
time past it seems that persons, some of them men
of influence, have been travelling the country, ad-
dressing meetings on the subject of the coloured
people's wrongs, telling them they were oppressed
and ground down by taxes. It was well known
that this was going on, but very little attention was
paid to it, it being never supposed that such a
savage spirit of hatred and disaffection existed in the
black race. Too summary justice cannot be mea-
sured to the men who, whether from fanalicism or
greed, hhve excited the blacks to this rebellion, but
the outbreak itself is, in any case, a startling one.
It shows how little has been actually done towards
reclaiming and civilising the negro, though a gene-
ration has elapsed since the chains of slavery were
struck off him. It will be necessary to keep down
all disaffection and rebellion with a strong hand for
some time to come. A sufficient force must be kept
in the island to overawe refractory negroes, and the
least attempt on their part must be sternly repressed.
Any clemency towards the offenders would be down-
right cruelty to their own race, as well as to the supe-
rior races. They have shown themselves incapable
of appreciating the indulgence and liberality with
which they have been treated, they must therefore
learn henceforward to respect the strong arm of
law and justice. In any case it will be long before
confidence and security are restored, and if the
experience of this outbreak has shown that the
black man still cherishes a hatred of the white man,
it will certainly give the white man a confirmed
distrust of the black. Hitherto all his crimes, vices,
and cruelties have been naturally attributed to the
oppression and injustice of which he has been the
victim. It remained for the negro of Jamaica to
show that those who sought to befriend, civilize,
and enrich him, might expect the same fate at his
lands as the tyrant and the slave driver.

HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE.

THIS DAY.—Morning, lh. 26m.--Afternoon, 1h :45m,
To-Monitow.-Morning, 22h. Om.— Afternoon, 2h.:18m

A correspondent of the Morning Post has fur-
nished some very interesting details concerning the
Duchies of schlcsu-ig-lloLs4elu. Ris truly stated
that " Schleswig-Holstein is very like a hedgehog,
which can never afford satisfaction to those who
touch it ;" and, indeed, all that we hear of its affairs,
and the fate of those who meddle with its destinies,
tends to confirm the impression thus given. Austria
and Prussia have found their real difficulties begin-
ning just as they deemed themselves secure from
hostile demonstration, and safe from the awkward
interference of friends and others. The fact is, that
the whole course which the Allied Powers has pur-
sued has been one so inimical to the feelings of the
inhabitants, and so, adverse to the constitutional
rights of the territories in question, that it was
almost impossible for any advance to be made in the
fashion which was so ardently sought after in the
councils of Germany. However much discussion
may now prevail among the rival factions at one
time, there is no doubt whatever that universal
concord prevailed, and that the many divisions and
subdivisions of that country made common cause
to oust the Danish rulers and establish there supre-
macy there. The strenuous efforts which are being
made by the governors of both Duchies do not
appear to meet with any great success ; and while

they struggle on with a zeal worthy of a better
cause, it is evident to all sagacious lookers-on
that they are still far off from the Fealisa-
tion of their object. The wonder of those
newly-installed authorities is anything but an en-
enviable one ; in short, particularly that of General
GABLENTZ, who has to play second fiddle to the
Prussian potentate. In all that has taken place
throughout this tedious affair Austria has been by

far the most moderate in the several arrangements
and propositions that have been made. But this has
not in the end conduced to a very favourable result,
because whenever any serious dilemma arose, or any
vital interests were in danger of clashing, the Berlin
Cabinet was allowed to rule the day. The same sys-
tem is being carried on in the case of the Duchies,
now governed, or supposed to be so, by courtesy in a
temporary form. It is graphically told in the ac-
count before referred to that General GABLENTZ is
kept in continual hot water by the way in which he
is pestered by General MANTEUFFEL to do many 1
things for which he is not disposed, but with which
he is compelled to comply, because he has got in-
structions to submit to the wishes of the Prussian
ruler in Schleswig " in all minor matters !" and he

mean compliance with the dictates of Prussia. This
unscrupulous power knows no limits and recognises
no restrictions that justice may put forward, or
that decency may suggest ; and although the over-
bearing sway so unblushingly asserted may for a
time have carried all before it, the period of the
amazing success which it has met with seems already
to be drawing to a close, or, at all events, to ap-
proximate towards a termination.

The prevailing sentiments of the inhabitants o 1
the Duchies towards the Germans are thus described
to us :—" Prussia is hated, Austria is distrusted,
and the other States of the Confederation are all
more or less despaired of." Such is a very natural
feeling to have existence when we take into consi-
deration the devious course which has been pursued
by all the recklessness of Prussia, the hesitating
conduct of Austria, and the inability or unwilling-

federation, and set at naught the wishes
of the Duchies, have halted in their mischievous
course, and are at a loss how to proceed for the
best. Any check that is given to their progress
must be a gain to the cause of justice and the best

interests of those with whom they have to deal.

Spain is apparently determined to keep herself
before the world. She has just succeeded in ob-
taining the approval of Europe, by the wise and
politic acts of her new Ministry, and her announced
intention of emancipating the slaves in Cuba, when
she comes out in a very different character. A
most unwarrantable aggression on an inferior
Power has just occurred, and it has, moreover, been
committed in defiance or the unanimous protest of
the diplomatic body, and has included a direct in-
sult to the British flag. The Government and
the people of Chili have fortunately shown a spirit
and determination worthy of an indepen-
dent State, however small. Admiral
PAREJA with eight Spanish vessels of
war entered the port of Valparaiso, and demanding
abject submission on the part of the Chilians for
asserted insults to the Spanish flag, gave a very
brief term for consideration. The Chilian Minister
replied in a dignified despatch, and refused the Ad-
miral's unceremonious and insulting demands, in
which conduct he was supported by the representa-
tives of England, France, and the United States.
Upon this Admiral PAREJA declared the whole
coast of Chili under blockade, a threat which he was
the more easily able to fulfil from the absence of
Her MAJESTY'S ships-of-war, owing to false pre-
tences on the part of the Spaniards. The
Chilians rallied round their Government, and
declared war against Spain, but the commercial
consequences have been already serious. It remains
to be seen what course the English and French Go-
vernments will think proper to pursue. If they
tolerate such a wanton and inexcusable aggression
on the liberties and rights of a smaller State', they
must certainly abandon their right to be considered
the leading Powers in Europe.
