JAMAICA.

theby violenceabusing
The Jamaica Morning Journal of the 10th says:
" There have been no occurrences worthy of note
during the fortnight
whoseN Notwithstanding
pndbionge
of the newspapers,
flit negroes andtheir frienpls.„o4jere. and ijv
ngland,' to drive -hie former into disorderly pro-
ceedings, peace and'Order everywhere prevail ; and
even the hawkers for signatures to addresses to
Governor Eyre, and those who are collecting sub-
scriptions for a testimonial to be presented to him,
have been permitted to pursue their calling in all
parts of the country without molestation. And
yet there are some people here who declare that the
" widespread rebellion" is yet to take place, and de-
nounce all who do not agree in opinion with them
as mischievous men, who are aiding and abetting
treason, and exciting the negroes "to drive every
.white man into the sea." With nonsense of this
kind, a hireling press seeks to scare every honest
man from uttering the truth or express any opinion
upon public affairs, unless it be in abuse of the ne-
groes, of Mr. Bright, and the Anti-Slavery SocletY.
Every man who will not do this is to be starved out
and persecuted in every possible shape. The masses
are peaceable' and attending their work, and will re-
main peaceable if what are termed the upper classes
here would cease, talking and writing about a wide-
spread rebellion, and treat the people with the
consideration due to human beings. For ourselves,
the purpose at which we aimed having been accom-
plished, namely, the eliciting of truth and putting it
in unmistakable light before the world, in the hope
that full justice may be.done to wrongdoers, we are
content to Jet all discussion subside, and unite our
.energies with those who may look forward with hope
to bring about a better and a happier future. It is
all veiy *ell to denotince. the negroes and threaten
them with all sorts of punishment both earthly and
purgatorial ; but we are very much afraid that only
the denouncers will suffer in the end. The negro
cannot suffer much whilst there is no martial law,.
and might very soon render himself independent of
his white superiors ; but we doubt very much
whether his superiors could do without him. Talk
as Much. as we like about bringing European
labourers here, we all know that white men cannot
undergo the hard toil of field labour in a tropical
climate, and that Jamaica would only prove again
what it has proved already—the grave of thousands.
It is better that, profiting by the experience of the
past, we address ourselves honestly and manly to
the performance of our duty to the people who form
the great bulk' of our population,an(l on whom, say
_.wlTritiveay tb_the ozlitulry,:x6_6r6 altogether de—
pendent for the cultivation of those staples without
the production of which the country must sink into
utter and irretrievable ruin. Far betterfor all par-
ties—the negro peasant, the estate proprietor, the
middle-class man, and, in fact., every one who feels
his lot to be cast in this country, and his welfare
bound up with it, to begin at once to reconcile the
negroes to the other classes and endeavour to ele-
vate them in the scale of civilisation, and thus fit
them fairly and reasonably, and without pain to
either, to take their places by our sides.

The report of the Royal Commission is anxiously
looked for. The colonists seem now to be divided
into two great parties—those who justify the massa-
cres of October, and those who, whilst condemning
and deploring the outrages committed by the rioters
at Morant Bay, maintain that as martial law and
its summary modes of punishment are warranted
only by the necessity to resist force by force, and as
after the first two or three days of the disturbances
there was no such force to be resisted, there was no
justification whatever for the cruelties committed
and the destruction of life occasioned. Things have
come to such an unfortunate pass, that the former
party hate the latter most thoroughly, and we very
much fear that it will be a long time before this
hatred will subside. It is remarked by a Saturday
Reviewer, and sensibly we think, that " the report
of the commission will in all probability satisfy
neither of the disputants ; but it will almost cer-
tainly be accepted by the countryas conclusive. The
storm will for a time have cleared the colonial
atmosphere, and possibly an impartial administra-
tion of law and a respite from agitation may enable
the planters to save the wreck of their property, and
give the negroes a chance of rising to a higher stage
of civilisation."

Nothing has been heard of the new Government
save that Sir. Henry Storks is to return to Europe
—an announcement which thousands of her Ma-
jesty's subjects here have received with regret—and
that the Government is to be administered by Mr.
Rawson, of the Bahamas. Of this gentleman's ante-
cedents we know nothing, and therefore we have no
right to presume that he is other than an able man,
and well fitted for the post. It is not out of place
to remark, however, that the present is the most
critical juncture in the affairs of Jamaica, and suc-
cess can only be attained by the new Government
being left in charge of men who, besides possessing
great administrative ability, have the strength of
mind to rise above colonial prejudices. In the debate
on the Jamaica Bill, Lord Grey reminded the House
of Lords that the' success of the new Government
would depend principally on the personal qualifica-
tions of those by whom it will be administered. This
is a fact which her Majesty's Ministers ought to keep
constantly in view in dealing with Jamaica affairs.
We understand that a vessel of war is in prepara-
tion to convey his Excellency the Governor round
the island on a tour of inspection.
On Saturday, the 28th ult., a great part of the
sugar works on Ellis's Caymanas was destroyed by
fire. It was purely accidental, and the destruction
would have been complete but for the praiseworthyrtye is
exertions of the negro labourers. The

A RUSSIAN MARTYR.--Serno-Solovievitch, who
died at Irkoutsch on the sth of March, was one of
the bravest and purest of men. Of noble birth, he shunned
the besetting vices of his order, and sought in severe devo-
tion to the highest duties a refuge from the surrounding
corruption. His mind was cultivated, his tastes studious,

ASCOT MEETING-1,
The Royal Hunt Cup Day, though of
able of the Ascot meeting, is regarded as an
.kff day"
consequently the general public do not muster ti-suclt-
force as on Tuesday (Stakes day) and the Cup day. The
sencePrince of Wales again honoured the coarse with his pre-
, arriving on horseback, accompanied by the Duke of
Edinburgh (Prince Alfred), Prince Teck, and the Duke of
Cambridge ; and the illustrious visitors dismounted in the
yard in the rear of the Royal Stand. The attendance of
the aristocracy was never larger on a Wednesday in the
Ascot week, and the weather being fine the afternoon was
very enjoyable. Racing conuneneed at half-past 1 with
the Visitors' Plate, and nine animals of the ninteen entered
fulfilled their engagements. Backers were fortunate at the
first attempt, Monitress and Love Apple being the only
horses backed ; and after a good race the first-named won
by a neck. The ,Ascot Derby was remarkable for the
overthrow of Ceylon, on whom odds of 2 to 1 were at first
laid, but Robin Hood and Mount Palatine receiving sub-
stantial support, the bookmakers accepted 6 to 4 agst the
winner of the Grand Prize of Paris, but he was literally
never in the race, and Staghound won easily by ale ogth from
Lord Portsmouth's Robin Hood. The Fern-hill Stakes pro-
duced an interesting race between Hippie and Fripponnier,
who were equal favourites at 2 to 1; but the baron's filly
showed her ability for this course by winning by a length.
The ten fillies "coloured " on the card for the Coronation
Stakes went to the post, Mirella and Ischia being eaeh freely
supported, but Mother of Pearl, who, it will be remembered,
ran very forward in the Oaks to Tattenham-corner, won by
a neck after a rattling finish with the Duke of Beaufort's
filly. The principal race of the day, the Royal Hunt Cup,
brought out the large field of twenty-nine runners from
the fifty-five animals on the card, and the race was pro-
ductive of some very livelyspeculation,llistorian,Langham,
and The Stir being backed at sto 1 each. After some
delay at the post the horses were despatched upon pretty
equal terms, and as they streamed over the summit of the
hill the effect was very striking. Every detail of the race
is contained below, and it is sufficient to say that from the
distance the race' was confined to the three placed; but
Attaché came out immediately Parry called on him, and
won by a length. The success of the winner was highly
gratifying to the book-makers, as ho was backed for very
little money. Achievement won the Ascot Triennial
Blakesriftentbstte, with long odds laid on him, carried
off the concluding race, the Biennial Stakes. Subjoined is r‘:‘
