" We have all been busily engaged with guard keeping.—
It is my opinion, had oot the militia been edict! out so
promptly more mischief Would have ensued. There are three
persons to be brought to trial, charged with conspiracy ; two
of them were drivers on IpsWich estate, and the other head
driver on Roseberry plantation." •

" An instance of. great promptitude,
the morning of Friday the 2d, by the
reat promptitude, which deserves to be
recorded,
was evinced
fith battalion company of the reginient of this parish. Captain
Eason, who commands it, received orders about- one o'clock
A.M. to proceed from Salt Sprinel'en to Black River, a distance
of four miles. The company, 115 in number, marched oft in
less than fifteen minutes from the time the orders were receiv-
ed, and arrived with ammunition and baggage at their placesof
destination before, three, notwithstanding 'they had to wade
through heavy roads, and frequently the sea knee deep nearly
two miles on their march. The worthy Captain refused to
ride, as himself only had a horse at hand."

We are sorry to learn that within the last fortnight the gangs
of three estates between George Town and Alahaica have re.
fused to do their work, and that the principal parts of each of
them have been dOwn to the Fiscal to lodge complaints against
their owners or managers. These complaints have we under.
stand been for the most part of a frivolous and vexatious nature
but we have yet to learn what .measures his Excellency the Go.
vernor or the Fiscal has adopted, or intends to adopt, to prevent
the recurrence of this ituproper and disorderly conduct on the
part of the slaves fur the future. A great number of negroes
from the Big Diamond Estate, up; the river, came down to
town this morning, atul,if some decided steps are not promptly
and vigorously enforced,. Ida Honour may expect to be visited
in a short timc by the gangs of all the estates in the country.
'A listless toleration on the part of the Executive of this strip.
ing of work by a few evil disposed negroes, will prove not only'
highly subversive among that class of people in general; but
will be a source of very considerable injury to the just interests
of their Masters.

THE KING, &c.

xnson, SEPT. I,:—Yesterday afternoon his Royal High-
ness the Duke of York, his Grace the Dike of Wellington,
Prince Easterhazy, Earl and Countess Lieven, Lord St.
Helens, and Mr. Braithwaite, arrived on a visit to his Majesty
at the Royal Lodge. After ltiN Majesty had taken his usual
drive'yesterday afternoon, accompanied by his Royal Brother
and others of the Suite, he returned to the Royal Lodge, where
he entertained the following distinguished Personages at
dinner :

The Dukea of York and Wellington, Prince Easterhazy,
Marquis and Marchioness Conyngharn, Earl and Countess
Lieven, Lord St. Helens, Lord and Lady Francis Conyngham,
Lord and Lady Maryhorough, Sir Hildebrand Turner, Sir W.
Knighton, Sir A. Barnard, Sir E. Nagle, and Mr. Braith-
waite.

This morning his Royal • Highness the Duke of York, his
Grace the Dtike of Wellington, Count Lieven, Prince Ester-
hazey 'and Mr. Braithwaite, left the Royal Lodge early, at-
tended by two of his Majesty's Keepers, for the purpose
of passing the remainder of the morning in partidge
shooting. The Royal party took across the Great Park
by Cumberland Lodge for Norfolk Farm in which direction'
the birds are very plentiful, the preserves being extensive,—
The Royal party bagged several brace, and returned to the
Royal Lodge to breakfast, as the sun was getting too powerful ,
for a continuation of their sport. It is expected the visitors will
remain the whole of the week with his Majesty to enjoy daily
the diversion of shooting in the Great Park.
This afternoon, at a quarter after two o'clock,, his Majesty,
accompanied by the Marquis Conyngham, and the Duke of
York by Prince.Esterhazy, left the Royal Lodge in the pony
phaetons ; they were followed in an open carriage by the Earl
and Countess Lieven, Lord St. lielen's and Sir A. Barnard,
with the remainder of the visitors on horseback, to Virginia
Water. A
most sumptuous entertainment has been prepared
for the Royal Party at the Lodge, which will be conveyed to the
Lake, where his Majesty and visitors will dine on board the
extensive pleasure boat.

these quarters; but by the latest accounts from Madrid, it is
said that Bermudez, after several visits to the Escorial, and as
many attempts upon the head and heart of Ferdinand, utterly
failed to penetrate either, and despaired of bringing the finan-
cial chaos of the country into any practicable form. The re-
medy, if a remedy for such evils can be found,must be searched
for in a representative Government, which alone will be able to
encounter with the priesthood,. and to render the natural re-
sources of the kingdom conducive to its permanent relief. Nor
are some surmises wanting, that a disposition prevails among the
least violent chiefs and members of the two opposing parties to
bring about this blessed consummation. The extremity of evil
begins, it is affirmed, to work its own cure. The partisans of indis-
cretion on one side, and of iniquity on the other, have not found
their account in either,and show reciprocally signs of yielding to
their fate. That England should secretly encourage these first
buddings and quickenings of a national spirit in contrast with
that of pure fanaticism amongst the Spaniards, we are not re-
luctant to credit. The Government of Charles X. likewise
must feel an interest in the return to order throughout Spain,
proportioned to that depth of embarrassment into which the
invasion of that unhappy country has plunged its perpetrators
and advisers. The actual state of the Spanish Peninsula, the
wretchedness that reigns there, i:s obvious cause, and its ap-
prehended consequences to other nations, offer a grand example
of retributive justice, which tie trust will not be lost to those
who immediately want it. With the countenance of France
and England to their conciliatory project, we should hope the
more moderate of the Spaniards may succeed in re-establishing
peace, the first clement of national convalescence and prosperity.

the north shme of the tlulf of Finland, which will be furnished
with a rev3lving light on the 6th (18) of October. Its motions
will he as follows, to distinguish it from the light of Nargen, on
thy' south short: :--

1. The light Will appear for the apace of one minute and a
half.

2. It will be darkened 35 second%
3. The light will appear for 20 seconds. •
4. It will be darkened 3.5 seconds.
Thus cloAes one entire revolution, and it recommences with
No. 1.

Notice of the completion of the Fidsand Light-houses.—On
the 20th of September (Oct. •2) both light-houses will be
lighted; their distance from one another is 630 feet. The old
one to the Kouthward is 110 feet high from the level of the
water; the new one to the northward 100 feet.

Both lights are stationary, to prevent the possibility of their
being inktalcen for that of.l)agerort, which is a revolving light.

A. young man, decently attired, called at the
lodge of Jussu CUE:LING, Esq. Jamaica-road,
Bermondsey, one of the Magistrates for the
county of Surrey, a few days ago, to inquire after
a servant who had lived with Mr. Curling. He
WaS desired by the porter to call again. On
Thursday he repeated his visit, and prevailed on
the man who liven at the lodge to go up to the
house of Mr. Curling, bi order, as he pretended,
to obtain intelligence of his acquaintance, about
whom he was most anxious. During the absence
of the porter he contrived to steal a most valu-
able time-piece which was standing on the mantle
piece, with which he escaped. Information was
given to the Police.

TIIE THEATRES.

COVENT•GARDEN.--The attraction of Der
Preischutz obviously continues, notwithstanding
the frequentcy of its representation at most of
the Minor Theatres, and particularly its very
great popularity at The English Opera House. It
was repeated.on Saturday at Covent-garden, and
the whole went
_off with all imaginable hor-
ror, to the evident delight of a very numerous
audience.

YmmucET.—The active Manager of this
Theatre, wisely availing himself of the conclu-
sion of the season at the English Opera House,
has engaged Miss KELLY, one of the chief fa-
vourites of the Public, and who, altcgether, may
be said to defy competition in the characters
best suited to her talents. The Road to Rain was
again represented on Saturday evening at this
Theatre, and Miss KELLY appeared in the part of
SThia• The truth,simplicity,and spirit,with which
she performed the part excited the warmest ap-
plause from the audience, who had received her on
ltor entrance with the most gratifying testimonies
of universal. welcome. DoirToN was Old Dornton,
"(I he supported the part with effective pathos.
The Afterpiece was The Devil to Pay, and the
J"bson and Nell, by DOWTON and KELLY,
again gave the audience an admirable specimen
of true comic humour.

THEATRE, SANDWICH.

The sudden suppression of the theatrical per-
formances at Sandwich, after they had been
opened gratuitously, and had excited the appro-
bation of the inhabitants at large, has been the
subject of so much surprise, and indeed of
a stronger sentiment, in that and the adjacent
towns, that we are induced to insert the
following article, which has been generally
circulated in that vicinity. The chief subject of
regret, however, is the disappointment of the
several Performers who had quitted London and
other places, in hopes of deriving profits by their
respective benefits, which they had full rea-
son to expect from the very favourable reception
that- attended their exertions. It has been re-
ported that the Dover Company of Comedians is
to appear at Sandwich, which is hardly to be
expected after so positive a prohibition of the
Mayor against theatrical performances. It is
but justice to add, that Mr. and Mrs. FAUCIT
SATILL are both very goed Performers, and
were mach almired during the Margate season,
and that, from all we hear, the Sandwich Com-
pany in general were judiciously selected, and
possessed of correspondent ability. Mr. F.
SAVILL himself is not only a good actor, but a
Gentlemen of taste, learning, and of dramatic as
well as of theatrical talents.

Mr. FAUCIT SAYZLL respectfully addresses the town in ge..
neral, and those inhabitants in particular, who have done him
the honour to patronize and approve of his efforts to, amuse
them during the usual Dramatic Season in this place, which is
now, at a moment's notice, closed by the following

for the last century and a halt':—

In 1673 there were in the island 7,763 whites, and 2,1:64
slaves. The chief products were cocoa, indigo, and hides.

In return for its commodities, Jamaica receives from Great
Britain an annual supply of alinc:it all her manufactures. The
exclusive right which she claims of supplying this and the
other islands with her products is one important source of her
commercial and manufacturing prosperity. The annual
amount of British manufactures imported into the island alone
is upwards of two millions. The imports from other parts (of
lumber, provisions, cattle, &c.) amount to nearly a million.
The annual exports to Great Britain and Ireland may
amount, one year with another to about five millions ; and
those to other parts to about 400,0001.

POETRY.

A MOTHER'S LAMENT pr an INFANT DAWVITIL
(!runs Ackermann's Christmas Present, Forget 111 e :Vat.)
I lov'd thee, daughter of my heart !
Sarah, I lov'd thee dearly ;
And though we only meet to part,
How sweetly—how severely.
Nor life, nor death, can sever,.
Mother and babe for ever.
Thy days, my little one, were few;.
An angel's morning visit,
That came and vanished with the dew,
'Twas here—'tis gone—where Is it ;
Yet did'st thou leave behind thee
A clue for love to find thee.
The eye, the lip, the cheek, the brow,
The hands stretch'd forth with gladness;
All life, joy, rapture, beauty now,
Then dash'il with infant sadness;
Till, bright'ning with transition,
Beturn'd the fairy vision.
Where are they now ?—those smiles, tttuse tears—
Thy mother's darling treasure ;
She sees them still, and still she hears
Thy tones of pain and pleasure.
To her quick pulse revealing
Unutterable feeling.
Misled in a moment on her breast,
Life at the well spring drinking
Then cradled on her lap to rest,
In rosy slumber sinking.
Thy dreams—no thought can guess therm--
And mine no tongue express them.
For then this waking eye could see
In many a vain vagary,
The things that never were to be—.
Imaginations airy.
Fond hopes which mothers cherish,
Like still-born babes, to perish.
Mine perisli'd on thine early bier,
Now chang'd to forms snore gloriosa;
They flourish in a higher sphere,
O'er time and death victorious.
Yet would these arms have claim'd thee,
And long from lleav'n detain'd thee.
Sarah, my last, my youngest love—
The crown of every other,
Though thou art burn again above,
1 only am thy mother.
Nor will affection let me
Believe thou can'st forget me.
Then, thou in Ileav'n, and I on earth.
May this one hope delight us,
That thou wilt hail my second birth,
When death shall reunite us,
Where worlds no more can sever,
Parents and child for ever.

THE.TIIEATREA.

D lIURY LANK.— The Marriage of Figaro was re* I.
presented again last night. Miss nA Duos', sup-
ported by the encouragement which she received on
the former night, displayed wore spirit iu the part
of Susanna, and her musical powers also appeared
to greaser advantage. She is likely to prove e
good acquisition.
11 AY MAU K HAMBLIN resumed the
part of Hamlet last night, and having evidently
profited by the liberal criticism which his first
performance excited, gave a more correct and
animated support to the princely Dane,
.than
he had shewn on the former occasion. rlhero
wits no longer a settled scowl upon his face, but
his features varied in expression according to tile
respective passages in the part. Mr. Junmsom
who was treated with such illiberal levity on Sa-
turday, resigned the part of Laertes to a Mr.
ParrcuAnn from the Edinburgh, Stage, who ac-
quitted himself to the satisfaction of the audience.

DElt Fiti ENCOUTZ.----1t appears to be Oa opi-1
nion of the best musical judges that the music of
this piece has no such extraordinary excellence
per se, us can account for its remarkahl, success,
but that its chief merit is its admirable adapta-
tion to the Drama, in the Overture as well as in
all the rest of the composition.

LORD EaSKIIiES WILL.

The Last Will and -Testament of the late Right
Hon. TaorgAs Lord EtisarNE, was regißtered in the Ptero.
gave Court, Doctors' Commons, on the 244 instant. Letters cif
administration with the same, and one codicil annexed, having
been canimittod to the Right Hon. David Montagu Lori
Erskine, the son, one of the residuary legatees. The late lion.
Frances Erskine, the wife and sole executrix appointed, having
died in testator's lifetime. -
The will is dated the Igth of November, 1.7d2, and begins
in nearly these words :—" Being, , from -a sense of .honour and
not from any motive of personal resentment oterevenge, ;bout
to expose my life to great peril, it is a great comfort to ma
that I have so few duties to fulfil previms to an event which
may deprive me 'of ever.), other opportunity of so doing;"
—lt then proceeds to enumerate certain sums, coestituting
the amount- of the testator's property, which is vorted to
have been all acquired since his practice at the bar, and to be
nine thousand pninds Consols,- and about 1,041. more in
bills. It is all left, with the highest expressions of confi-
' deuce and affection to-his wife, far herself and.chitdren, they t 3
inherit it after. her decease, in equal snare.;, as they attain' 21
years of age. But,he.provided, as on aecount of her youth she
might probably marry again, ana as such an event, thcl;gb by
no means deprecated by him, Might be incompatible with ti,a
;interests of his children, •• that upon such second marriage ,the
property should be transferred to L:ssistzr, Lady Anne Erskine.,
in trust for them as above-tnentioaed.
• A request is left to the testator's brother, the Earl of l3achan,
that as nis property was not sufficient to enable Mr. Erskine to
educate his son David Mir manner suitable to his birth, that he
would make it such as they both derived from rwir latacr,
proved by his own talents and experience.
He only excepted from the property left as above, the ring
and sieeve.buttons set with his wife's hair, in lie desired
to be buried, as he usually wore them.' •
The codicil is - dated " Carleton Hotel, Pa!l-rn 2d Oct.
17E16,". anti was made only for the purpose of confirming te
contents of the will, his property since. its execution having
much accumulated, and for his giving his children since born,
and those he might is future have,. an equal. participathm with
the ethers in its provisions.. . .
Prom their remote -thi.te it is not to be wontiefed• at that the
papers are Somewhat defaced and mutilated ; ar-dit will be con-
sidered remarkable that such a lapse of time anti-change of cir.
cunistanCea, 'shou'..d not have induced a pan of legal attain.
merits to have left a more recent declaration of hls
intentions.
