(From the Jamaica Papers. )
The North side Papers have been received. There is, with
one exception, little in them—the exception is the report in the
Falmouth Post of a meeting of nearly 3,000 of the lately eman-
cipated population of Trelawny, to consider the propriety ol
petitioning the Assembly to repeal certain laws passed during the
tate Session of that body, and to aid in sending missionaries to
Africa. The speakers at this meeting were all Baptist mis-

The accounts from the other West India Islands are gene-
rally very favourable. The labo.irers are conducting them-
selves well. Meetings had been held in several islands to pe-
tition Government against equalizing the duties on British and
Foreign sugar.

The Demerara!papers state that, by letters from Trinidad of
the 23d January, " last year, about 2,200 emigrants of all de-
scriptions arrived in this island; they are an active, intelligent,
hard working set of people."
The mail from the brazil brings the Exchange from Rio
Janeiro on London at 31 and Stocks 76 ; and extensive business
was done for the packet at the rate of 32, 313/4, and 3114 ; fur-
ther particulars will be found in another part of the paper.
There is no political intelligence of consequence from Rio
Janeiro.
