" What was Governor EIRE'S position" ? asks the

outbreak that was before him, but a negro rebellion.
A small white population was under his care, and
" murder, fire, and annihilation assailed them."

Where, then, was the time, and where the oppor-
tunity for stopping at trifles, and studying English
jurisprudence and dwelling on " legal technicali-
ties," when every moment was precious, and all
depended upon speed and decision of purpose.
The Governor proclaimed " martial law," and the
" teacher," the hand that held the dagger, GORDON,
was executed. A violent disease, replies one who
knows the bearings of the case, and sOutreekit
were acquainted with the case said before him ; but
how many ignorant persons have presumed to differ
on the point ? One question of great import is here
put—namely, what was the amount of life sacrificed
compared with what would have occurred if the
energetic measures alluded to had not been
adopted by the Governor ? And the answer
must be evident to all that months instead of days
would have been occupied by the outbreak, and far
greater sufferings would have been occasioned. It
is simply and forcibly stated here that in times of
danger and excitement, when brute force is resorted
to, some acts are necessarily committed that will
not bear the close scrutiny of those who investigate
them from a distance some time afterwards; but
such events are seldom or ever paraded before the
public to " defame " a man who has done his best
under trying circumstances. From his experience
of negroes Sir SAMUEL BAKER declares his
belief that Governor EYRE saved the white
inhabitants of Jamaica by a " stern exercise
of force ;" but this fact is doubted by many
in England, on account of the popular belief that
the negro differs in nothing but the colour of his
skin, whereas the " tiger and the horse are not
more widely different in their natures."
Finally, the writer concludes by declaring that
he should not have made these remarks if Mr. EYRE
had been left entirely in the hands of the Govern-
ment ; but, as an Englishman, he cannot help call-
ing for " fair-play," when he sees a portion
of our countrymen "so un-English as to
hit a man when he is down. The re-
moval of Mr. EYRE -from his post was a blow
that has been keenly felt by all who knew and
admired his character, but the cowardly and un-
called-for attacks made upon him since his return
to England, when every honourable spirit must
have sympathised with his position, will rally
around him a different class to the Guy-Fawkes-

than to efface impressions wrongly received, and
thus many have taken a false view of this familiar

LONDON, WEDNESaIY, SEPT. 19, 1866

So much misconception exists as to the character
of the negro that it is satisfactory to meet with any
details from one who is well acquainted with his
style and characteristics. As a general rule, we
may be sure that those who make the most pro-
fessions of faith on behalf of the negro are really
ignorant, or at all events partially so, of what is
the actual state of the case. The letter which Sir
SAMUEL BAKER has addressed to the Times on the
subject is well worthy of attention, and contains
much to arrest notice at this particular juncture. We
are glad, indeed, to meet with so able an expositor of
matters which interest all, and we are sure that no
one can peruse this letter without being enlightened,
unless they are so wilful and prejudiced that no one
can convince them of their error. HOW true is the
passage at the commencement, which states that hi
England there "is a general misconception of the
negro, and this ignorance of his character and capa-
bilities has engendered a sympathy for the African
race, that, arising from pure philanthropy, has
degenerated into a fashionable weakness." The
consequence of this misconception is that
the intellectual standard of the black man
is raised to that of the white one, and
things are confused to such an extent that it is
difficult to discern what is true from what is false.
It is time, indeed; that these fallacies should be ex-
posed, and that those who are well acquainted with
the subject should express their indignation and
astonishment at the audacious way in which those
who
know nothing of the negro declare their opi-
nions. The rebellious negroes of Jamaica receive
pity and sympathy, while no sorrow whatever is
expressed for the unfortunate white victims of their
fury, and the opinion of the inhabitants of the
colony saved front ruin is sat at nought by these
Philanthropists, while they devote therLelvos to the
persecution of the man who presumed to cope with
them an 1 ill..2vent, their murderous designs from
put into execution.

question, who, if left to themselves, would have
judged very differently. It is satisfactory to notice
that the Bradford Working Men's Conservative
Association have adopted an address to Mr. BYRE
in which they express sympathy for his position,
and regret the treatment which he has received,
feeling persuaded that such a course does not rightly
represent the feeling of the country.

A very painful case has just been made the sub-
ject of inquiry at Hackney, and the revelations at
he inquest do not tend to redeem the character of
our workhouses. Some little time ago, in reference
to the outbreak of cholera, a member of the Go-
vernment observed that the system of local
self-
government
was on its trial. Hitherto the autho-
rities of the several parishes and districts have
acquitted themselves with credit in many instances,
deserving high praise for the exertions they have made
to resist the attack of the common enemy. The wide-
spread suffering and distress which the cholera has
occasioned among the poorer classes has called forth
warm and ready sympathies in all directions, and
the efforts of the public officers have been so
earnestly seconded by private benevolence
and personal self-sacrifice that, notwithstand-
ing the vast amount of sickness, mortality,
and distress, there has hitherto been no room
for charges of neglect or ill-usage. The case
brought under investigation at Hackney is the first
in which the cholera has played a prominent part ;
and the whole affair, though inodanoiufubtl
one.muc I
much re-
grettedt by all parties, is a very painful
seems from the evidence that the de
by cholera,ceased,alittle
boy of seven years old, was attacked
and the doctor who was called to see itatonc
gave an order for its admission to the work-
house or the German Hospital, having, he ex-
plained, inserted these words because lie had
heard that cholera cases were to be sent there.
The house from which the poor child was brought
was quite bare of furniture or comforts, as the in-
spector had moved out the family on account of
cholera infection. The doctor was therefore anxious,
he said, to get the child into either workhouse
or hospital without any delay. When the child got
to the workhouse the matron would not admit it,
and said it was to go to the German Hospital. The
assistant doctor, a youth of 18, endeavoured to
persuade the authorities to admit the child, and
finding this remonstrance was useless, sent
to Mr. SummERS, his superior, who came
and wrote au order for the child's immediate admis-
sion, which was likewise ineffectual. The end of it
was, after various delays, the Master came and
sent the child off to the German Hospital, after it
had been waiting half-an-hour in the porch. The
rest of the story is soon told, fcr the poor

There is much to dwell upon in the descriptions
here given of the negro ; and, first of all, -we may
note that a limit is assigned to his intellectual eaPa-
city-, as the mind has reached the maximum of
its
power at the early ago of fourteen. This may
account for much that is found wanting in the sub-
sequent career of the negro, as he does not
receive impressions that may affect a more
matured intellect, but remains, to all in-
tents and purposes, in an unfinished state as
compared to a superior race. The indolence of
the negro is another very noticeable fact, and may
account for much that surprises the uninitiated in
his course of proceeding. The negro is also fickle
to a n extraordinary degree, and as he is always
willing to act upon impulse, and yield_ to any

powerful persuader, he becomes truly dangerous on little thing died next morning, having in all human
certain occasions, and when subjected to improper probability forfeited his chance of life by the delay

Mr. OXLEY said, " Then you are not going to take
him into the iron house ?" and Mrs. DRISCOLL re-
plied, " Certainly not ;" upon which Mr. OXLEY
went for Dr. SUMMERS. Dr. SUMMERS came, and
asked for pen and ink, and wrote an order for the

child's immediate admission. The matron took it and
placed it on the form, saying she would give it to the
master, who would do as he pleased, but that " he had
always been master, and would continuo to be so."
After this we cannot see that Mr. HUMPHREYS'
objection to the employment of Mr. OXLEY as as-
sistant, on account of his youth, has much weight,
since when the elder Doctor wrote an order, and
said, the child was very ill, his remonstrances were
totally disregarded. " The medical arrangements,"
said the Coroner, " were alarmingly defective. No
medical man resided in the house even during
cholera times." Very true ; and this is not the
grievance under discussion. If there had been a
dozen physicians iu the house they would not have
done much good to the sick child so long as it was
kept outside. Why was it not admitted ? The
Master's excuse was his fear of admitting cholera
within the walls ; but there is ample ground for
believing that petty jealousy and desire for autho-
rity had a good deal to do with it, especially
as it appeared that there were already
some cases of cholera under treatment in the iron
house. With the differences between the master
and the doctors, between the matron and the nurse,
between the porter and the gatesman, we have
nothing to do ; but the neglect of a child dying of
a terrible disease is too startling to be passed over
with impunity. The jury might very well have
attached to their verdict some reproof to the
matron, who appears to have been much
more concerned in keeping up her own and
her husband's dignity than in attending to
the common dictates of humanity. "It was a
grievous thing," said the nurse, "to see the child
suffer ;" but the matron does not appear to have been
at all impressed. We have good right to doubt
whether such a very unimpressible lady is a fit per-
son to superintend " 600 or 700 persons, nearly all
old persons and children." We cannot believe that
the Poor-Law Board will allow the matter to rest
here, but that they will prove that they exercise
something more than a nominal supervision over
the administration of our Poor-law, by calling upon
the guardians to entrust the superintendence of
their establishment to persons less liable to " errors
in judgment," and more remarkable for their com-
mon humanity.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FRO)l OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, Tuesday Evening.
The important manifesto of the policy of the
French Government. published in the .Moniteur yes-
terday, which, immediately on the publication of
that paper, was transmitted to London by telegraph,
is the all-absorbing topic. Go where you will it is
spoken of in terms of satisfaction and approbation.
Your readers will probably have observed that a
fortnight ago I mentioned that such a document was
about to be issued. In spite of the conclusion of
of peace between Austria and Prussia there was an
uneasy sensation in the public mind, and all sorts of
rumours prevailed as to the intentions of France to
extend her territory in consequence of the aggran-
disement of the kingdom of Prussia. This docu-
ment disposes of these foolish rumours, and tran-
quillises the public feeling. The Paris journalists
always take time to consider before they give an
opinion upon points of paramount interest, and so
they make only a few passing remarks to-day, but
they are in enthusiastic approval of the enlightened
and pacific policy which this document announces
to be the programme of the Emperor and the French
Government. This manifesto is the most important
of modern times. It tranquillises France and Europe,
and, if I be rightly informed, the Marquis de la
Valette, who only occupies temporarily the post of
Minister of Foreign Affairs, has distinguished his
position there for the moment by his advice and
assistance in the preparation of this admirable and
valuable State paper. If this be so, like Othello, he
has " done the State some service." The political
world was full of gloom and anxiety before. Now
all is hopeful and satisfactory, and the Bourse, to-
day, has been more buoyant and contented than
fora long time past.

The Constitutionnel says :—" The circular of the
Marquis de la Valette is the complete elucidation of
a policy which, while respecting all that is noble and
glorious in the past, understands and foresees the
future, and which has always sacrificed old resent-
ments and petty calculations to the interests of jus-
tice and civilisation. This manifesto admirably
illustrates the views, at once capacious and patriotic,
which inspire the Imperial Government, to which
our country owes the great position which it occu-
pies in the world. We shall not to-day advert upon
the excellent effect produced by a document in which
the part to be played by France is so nobly traced ;
but each portion of the circular of the Marquis de la
Valette to the diplomatic agents of the Emperor is
worth a separate appreciation. This task we shall
perform to-morrow."

After all it appears that Garibaldi has not sent in
his resignation, although there is little appearance
that his services will be required in Italy, at least
for the present. lie, however, has issued a circu-
lar recommending the opening of a subscription for
theaof paying the debts contracted by the
Garibaldi ateers in the year 1860. In this letter
Garibaldi says that the honour of Italy is involved

A letter from Chamouny states that a solicitor of
Rouen, M. Letellier, has made the ascent of Mont
Blanc. Ile was accompanied by two English gen-
tlemen, Messrs. Lawson and Douglas, and an
American.

The Journal de Nice states that a few days ago
a farmer residing near that town, aged 83,
was
married in the presence of the mayor and the curate
of the commune to a lady who has loved fill- eighty-
one summers and as many winters. After mass the
happy youthful pair danced a jig in the public
square of the commune.

A very important decision has been
given by the
Court of Caseation, both as regards tvnauts And

proprietors of houses. The court has ruled that the
simple refusal of a proprietor of a house to make
repairs, necessary to render an apartment habitable,
is sufficient to invalidate the lease, even if there
should net be any other omission iu the execution of
the covenants of a lease on the part of the land-
lord.

The Parisians were beginning to despair about
the weather, but there is still hope. To-day has
been bright, warm, and beautful, and the weather
prophets predict that it is to be very fine for a
month.

' A young lady of 22, Miss Sylvie Vidal, the honour
of whose birthplace may be claimed by the depart-
ment of Lozere, has just given to the Tribunal of
Correctional Police of Paris the opportunity of
forming an opinion upon a very clever and artistic
plan of obtaining money. Miss Vidal in the month
of August last lodged at the Hotel of M. Bouy, in
the Rue de St. Germain, and happened from some
cause or other to be a little in arrear with her rent.
On the 6th of that month M. Bouy had to

congratulate himself upon the termination o:

his anxiety in regard to it, for on that day
he received a letter signed Casimir Rou-
viere. The letter informed M. Bouy that M.
Leopold, who was the lover of Miss Vidal, had
" died of his wounds" at Clermont. He had, how-
ever, provided for the dear child. His relatives, who
had mourned at the foot of his death-bed, had fully
approved of the legacy he had made to the lovely
and affectionate girl of 30,000 f., which bad been
paid into the hands of a notary on her account. The
writer was too grieved to announce the news to
Sylvie, but he begged M. Bouy to do so gradually.
At the same time he told that gentleman he should
come to Paris in a few days, pay the rent which was
owing by Sylvie, and at the same time, according
to Leopold's dying request, bring a silk gown and a
shawl to Madame Bouy. This affectionate letter
excited M. Bouy very much, and had the same
effect upon his wife when he showed it to her.
indeed, when she came to the passage about
the silk gown and the shawl, she shed
cascades of tears. When M. Bouy announced the
sad news of her lover's death to the innocent girl
she was overwhelmed and thunderstruck at first ;
but, collecting herself, she said if she had money
she would not wait for Casimir's arrival, but she
should go herself to Clarewnt, and bring back the
shawl and gown for M. Bouy's dear wife. M.
Bouy immediately cut short the difficulty, and not
only lent Sylvie a I,ooof. bank-note, but insisted
upon her making temporary use of a gold watch
and chain, in order that she might look " respect-
able." A few days after Sylvie's departure it came
to the knowledge of M. Bouy that her supposed
lover, Leopold, was in perfect health, and that the
letter from Claremont was imagined, and written
by Sylvie herself. This fact was admitted to the
president of the Court by that young lady, who
said that she should not have written it if M. Bouy
had not " bothered" her for the money due to him,
and she was compelled to get cash somehow. She,
however, could not think of returning him more
than 500 f., for she bad laid out 500 f. for various
articles on his account, including 120 f. for a hand-
some wooden leg (M. Bouy has but one leg), and
the rest for the silk gown and shawl for his wife,
and her own fare to Clare Mont to see her dead
lover. Miss Sylvie was sentenced to imprisonment
for 13 months and a fine of 50f.
