first printed at Calcatta in 18020, Oge eir
says, " Though we admit the fact that &aces may be
" found in. Bengal among, the labourers in ho,),..ndry
" yet in most Provinces, none freemen ate ein'
ployed in the business df agriculture, price
t" their daily labour, when paid: in money,
" b
justly estimated at little more, than. one .1114 Sieeae
" but less than twopence
.sterling; awl he think,
that the wages, when -paid tit, giatti, do. mat, oa the
average, exceed one penny halfpenny, the allowance to
a " strong labourer" being not moressehan one aria. Is
ANcLus••prepated to shew that. this estimate is no
longer applicable ? or is, he prepared to contend, that
if the Negro Slaves in the West Indies, were.ernanti.
pated, and the Indian mode of toltivating sugar.intru-
duccd, the free Negro could be induced to labour with
a fah rate of exertion, for the v..-iige; of twopence, or
penny halfpenny sterling per dal.? • In the
and Colonial Weekly Ites,ister" of I?th June, 1824. (I
paper devoted to the objects of the Abolitionist.) I
find under the head of Haiti, " The mean pike of
" daily labour, men, women, and c,'lildren is estimateti
" at the lowest, by the si iter in the Propfrpre•tr, at
"one franc fifty cents, or one :trilling and three pen%
" per head." In the eighteenth Session of the Ainelic-ni
Convention for promoting the Abolition of Siavery,
October, 1823, it was reported, that" The w ages of la.
.g bout in the Haitian sea-ports is one dollar per day:
Thus it appears that the wages of labour in Ilwti is in
the proportion of at least seven to one higher than in
the Ea t Indies; and what analogy can be allowable
under such different circumstances, the result of suet
totally different states of being ? or what can be a
stronger proof', with respect to the comparative question
of free and Slave labour in the West Indies at this mo-
ment, than the Proclamation of the President of Haiti
(alluded to by the Reviewer) against the smug of
sugar into Haiti—that is, against the introduction of
sugar made by Slaves into a counti y where sugar is
raised by freemen ?
ANGLUS objects to a presumed opinion of the Re-
viewer, that the cultivation of the sugar-cane must of
necessity be collectively performed, in order to be suc-
cessful. Supposing that opinion to be incorrect, how
does its inaccuracy bear upon the question of free la-
bour? If the cultivation of sugar could be pet for med
individually by free labourers, so as to produce a remu-
nerating profit to the Proprietor, the mere mechanism
of the process would be a matter rf the siighte.,t pos-
sible importance. The Reviewer has stred that he is
not aware of the successful cultivation of sugar havitir;
been carried on in the West Indies by the means
free labourers. Can ANGLUS icier (with sufficient de-
tail to enable the public to judge) to any case which
will shew that the opinion of the Reviewer on that
point is incorrect?-1 remain, &c. &c.

VIS DEN.

John Harris, the smuggler, shot last Thutsday, ex-
pired the next morning. Mr. Loisocricier, the Co-
roner, summoned a Jury to investigate the matter, in
which they wete engaged seven hours, and :cultic,' a
verdict—" That John Harris died in consequence cl a
gun-shot wound, which he received in the head, on Ole
morning of the 21st inst. he being in company wth
divers other persons, to us unknown, engai;ea re-
moving contraband goods on Southsea- beach ; but by
whom, or under what other circumstances the sa d
wound was inflicted, no evidence thereof doth appear
to us jurors."
The corner stone of a new Church was lately laid at
Montreal, under salutes of at tillery. This church will
