JAMAICA.

We have this day received Jamaica Papers to the 10th
of August. One of these has the following :
" The conduct of the special Magistrates in several of
the parishes has at last aroused the indignation of the inha-
bitants, and it will be observed from the Dispatch that the
Grand Jury of St. Thomas in the Vale has taken the lead
in indicting two worthies, Dr. Palmer and Mr. Harris,
as nuisances, in consequence of a system of lop-sided in•
justice.
" The period of the departure of the Marquis of Sligo
is not yet publicly announced ; but it is supposed he will
leave his Majesty's ship Fate, on the arrival of the Mada-
gascar, as it is found impossible to get the old guard-ship,
the Magnificent, ready in time to convey so large a suite
from our shores, as speedily as it is desirable.

It is stated that Lieutenant-General Sir James Lyon is
to succeed the Marquis of Sligo as Governor of this
Colony. We hope the report is correct, as a more judi-
cious selection colud not have been made.

The St. Jago Gazette of July 30 says, " On Tuesday
about 9 o'clock his Excellency the Governor arrived in
this town from Port-au-Prince, where he had been conveyed
by his Majesty's steamer Dee. His Excellency was two
days on shore, and had an interview with General Boyer.
He was received with every mark of respect. Everything,
it is said, bore marks of the decay and ruin of what was
once the finest colony in the West Indies."

VAUXHALL.—The second ascent of the gigantic
balloon from Vauxhall Gardens took place yesterday. Tho
day being propitious and the atmosphere clear, the concourse
of spectators both within the gardens and without was far more
numerous than on the original occasion. Without the gardens
the road was filled with spectators and vehicles of all sorts,
grades, and descriptions. Along Millbank thousands were
congregated, and Vauxhall Bridge was almost impassable.
Within the gardens many thousands had also met together ;
the firework gallery, which will hold nearly 2,000 persons,
was crammed, and the gallery on the opposite side to it was
filled in like manner. The inclosure in which the inflation of
the balloon took place, and which was considered as the sanc-
tum sanctorum of the gardens, was also crowded with exclu-
sives, amongst whom were a vast number of the Nobility, and
many persons connected with scientific pursuits. The walks
beyond the boundary of the enclosure were also filled with the
curious. The balloon yesterday appeared much more beautiful
than on the day of the first ascent. The colours of the silk not
being affected by the rain appeared more vivid, and presented a
gay and splendid appearance. The car is a new one ; it is
decorated with ornaments, and is peculiarly handsome and
tasteful. At 11 minutes to 5 o'clock the balloon ascended,
amidst the acclamations of the spectators and the sounds
of martial music. In the car were Mr. Rush, Mr. Young,
Captain Currie, Mr. Woodroffe, Mr. Spencer, Mr. Adams,
Mr. Thomas Hughes, Mr. W. Hughes, Mr. and Mrs. Green,
Mr. Edward Cocks, and Mr. Burnett. The whole party were
in the highest spirits, and evinced no signs of fear or hesita-
tion. The car is large enough to carry 18 persons ; indeed,
18 persons were at one time in it, and ascended a few yards.
The balloon took a south-easterly direction, and continued in
sight a considerable time. The number of vehicles in all the
approaches to the Gardens on the Surrey side of the water
was immense. We have not heard of the occurrence of any
accident, but great alarm was occasioned in the Oval at Ken-
nington by the skittishness of a young horse attached to a
break. After being up about two hours the party descended
safely in a field belonging to Dr. Scott, near Bromley, in
Kent. One of the gentlemen returned to the gardens pre-
cisely at Eight o'clock. Mr. Green arrived about ten o'clock
with the balloon.
Sir John Ribton has intimated his intention of
visiting his extensive estates in this county, for the purpose of
introducing his son to the numerous tenantry, who are making
every preparation to give him a hearty and honest welcome ;
no: is there probably in the county a more prosperous or happy
tenantry. nor in Ireland a more kind and beneficent landlord.
It is the intention of Sir John and his son to stay at Cappa-
more, on the estate.—. Limerick Paper.
