a nor
'^py of a letter fi-o.n Geiv
Eyre is in reply to a memorial, addressed W ' •
Secretary Cardwell by the inhabitants of Clieltew
ham, regarding the outbreak in Jamaica :--
" Flamstead, Jamaica, Feb. 1
"My dear Sir,—Pray accept my bet and for!
thanks
for
your kind note of the 29th Decem,.
copy of the memorial enclosed in it. I beg you 1011
,
assure the gentlemen who have signed this document
that I highly appreciate and value such a friendly
support, and their truly English demand of It
play for an absent public officer, whom (tiwon-
ug
unknown to them) they are unwilling to see
derailed without some proof of his misconduct. it
can hardly be denied that the emergency (O
sioned by the rebellion in Jamaica was a great One'
when that rebellion spread 20 miles in one diree-
tion in two and a half days, and 40 miles in a;
other direction in three and a half days, or that
the peril threatening the entire Island was mod
imminent, when disaffection, seditious feeling, all
sympathy, with a readiness to join the rebels, vier°
known to exist in almost every parish ; whilst 5!
the same time the local Executive had not a sing,"
soldier available to send to any locality whatever,
should further outbreaks in other parishes have
taken place. Under such conditions, the most
prompt, certain, and severe punishment of tiles°
who had actually risen in rebellion became necessary
as a measure of self-defence to insure the public
safety. Ido not doubt but that the inquiry nog
being instituted will make all this and much more
fully apparent to the British public, and that the
result, by showing the necessity of the steps taken,
will justify the opinion so kindly expressed, and the
action so considerately taken, by the influential
gentlemen who signed the Cheltenham memorial
to Mr. Cardwell.—Believe me, my dear sir, yours

_
very faithfully, << E. J. EYRE.
To Colonel C. P. Kennedy,
13, Lansdown-crescent, Cheltenham."

them the exchange of duplicates with Mr. Stevens,
the American bookseller, for various American
works. It is feared, as the result of a late insPec
beer:tion of certain classes, that many books have
lost during the years that have elapsed since the
preceding inspection. The catalogue of the StrYY;
MSS. is nearly completed, and that of the Patric
and Baker MSS. far advanced. The number 0.
