JAMAICA.
(Per the Seine.)
KINGSTON, JAN. 24.

The Royal Commission has been sitting daily
hearing the evidence of all brought before them as
to the cause of the disturbance and the means em-
ployed for its suppression.
The proceedings have been watched by Messrs.
Gorrie, Payne, and Phillips on behalf of Dr. Under-
hill, Mrs. Gordon, and other sufferers ; and by Mr.
G. W. Walcot on behalf of Governor Eyre.

The Commission has been most studious in the
prosecution of their work, finding many witnesses
in the Bath district. Commissioner Gurney went
to Morant Bay and Stony Gut to take evidence
there. It has been proved that during martial law
several women were flogged at St. Thomas-in-the-
East.

All the political prisoners, tried by the Special
Commission for seditious language and writing,
have been guilty and sentences of from 20 days to
12 months' imprisonment have been pronounced.
Mr. Levien, proprietor of the County Union, has
been sentenced to imprisonment for 12 months for
libellous articles against the Government.

The Colonial Standard feels assured that the re-
port of the Royal Commission will completely vin-
dicate Governor Eyre and the military and naval
authorities for the course adopted towards the
rebels in St. Thomas-in-the-East, and that the evi-
dence produced proves an organised insurrection in
that locality, whilst the attempts made to bolster up
charges of cruelty on the part of the soldiers and
sailors have completely broken down.
Mr. Eyre continues to receive addresses expres-
sive of sympathy and approbation from the various
bodies in the island. Major O'Connor also receives
his share of public sympathy.
The Morning Journal says that there is no altera-
tion from the good order , which prevailed at the
departure of the last mail.

" Abundant testimony bas been produced before
the commission proving the cruelties practised by
