TESTIMONIALS.

" I have much pleasure in stating that the stays invented
by Mrs. Geary will obviate all the inconveniences of those
commonly employed."—C. J. B. Aldis, M.D., Old Bur-
lington-street, March 6th, 1837. _ .

It appears to me that Mrs. Gearv's Stays are infinitely
superior to those in ordinary use."—s. C. Brodie.
' I have examined the Stays invented by Mrs. Geary, and
think them admirably adapted to give salutary support to the
body, without that injurious pressure which renders ordinary
Stays so extremely prejudicial."—J. T. Conquest, M.D.
It is in the complete Corset that the genius of Mrs.
Geary has had full swing. The problem to be solved was
to support the figure, yet not to diminish freedom of
Motion, and to conceal the size of the abdomen when too
large."—Extracted from Dr. James Johnson's " Medico-
Chirurgical Review" for January, 1837.
" I have examined Mrs. Geary's improved Stays, and I
have no hesitation in saying, I think them infinitely superior
for the purpose of support to any in use. I consider the
Belt also, invented by the same lady, for pregnant females,
devised upon an exceedingly good principle."—Francis H.
Ramsbotham, M.D., New Broad-street, March 2, 1837.
" In Mrs. Geary's Corset for grown girls, the pressure on
every part of the chest is light, and by exerting no pressure
on the edges of the hip, it does not (by forcing those edges to
grow inward), diminish, during youth, the cavity of the
pelvis, or hazard the suffering which must attend that mal-
formation in mothers."—Extracted from Mr. Coulson's
work on " Deformities of the Chest and Spine," 2nd Edition.
" Mrs. Geary's Stays, of all kinds, present a new and ra-
tional principle in the construction of the most important por-
tions of dress. The formation of the bosom, and of all parts
adapted to prominences, is a matter of great ingenuity, and of
extraordinary beauty."—Extracted from " Female Beauty,"
by Mrs. A. Walker. " The Exercise Corset, invented by
Mrs. Geary, is absolutely nesessary in all exercises of the
arms, and especially in the Indian exercises, for which they
were constructed."—Extracted from " Exercises for Ladies, '
by Donald Walker, 2d Edition.
of the of breary s stays
and Belt for pregnant Ladies, and I shall make a point of
recommending them whenever I have an opportunity."—
James Eyre, M.D. 15, Lower Brook-street, March, 22, 1837.
" The Stays invented by Mrs. N. Geary, from the ingenu-
ity with which they are constructed, are eminently adapted
to allow of that ease and freedom of motion so essential to
elegance and health. They appear, therefore, likely to prove
far superior to the stays in common use, which contribute to
the production of much deformity and many serious diseases."
—G. F. D. Evans, M.D. 21, Hill-street, Berkley-square.
The following Medical Gentlemen are of opinion, that Mrs.
Geary's Stays, in consequence of the great improvements
they present—their capability of adaptation to every variety
of form—their removal of all unequal pressure by the re-
jection of gores and gussets—and the proper employment of
elastic materials, are deserving of the strongest recommen-
dation :

TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 2, 1339.

So far as the House of Common's is concerned the
Conservative opposition has done its duty with regard
to the pseudo-Education scheme. A mark has been
set upon it by the bold and eloquent champions of
Protestant Christianity which will render it known and
shunned whenever it comes into operation in the coun-
try—like a convicted criminal stamped with the brand
of guilt. Ministers have determined—or, rather, shall
we say, for it may be nearer the truth—been compelled,
by their ruthless taskmasters, the motley Radicals, to
press forward this most .dangerous measure : at once
the most alieri to the wishes and distasteful to the feel-
ings of the people of England which that laboratory of
all that is mean, stupid, and offensive—the Melbourne
Cabinet—has yet concocted. When we consider that
the national Church, the hierarchy of which forms the
third Estate in the realm—composed of men of various
political opinions, who, on ordinary questions, differ
widely in their views—is almost to a man opposed to
it ; that the large, and respectable, and influential body
of Wesleyan Methodists—by far the most numerous
and powerful of all the denominations of Dissent—has,
in the most unequivocal way, denounced it; imitating
in this respect the noble example set by the Non-con-
formists of a former day, who unanimously rejected
the proffered Toleration Act of James 11., because they
knew that they would not enjoy its benefits without
aiding the insidious attempts of that ill-starred Mo-
narch to re-establish Popery; that upwards of 3,000
.•.•

etitions, in an incredibly short space of time, have
spoken the sense of the constituencies against it, whilst
not 100 were presented in its favour; that a minority
in Parliament, of unprecedented weight and power, has
trampled upon it with disgust ; that the House of Lords
would, if it were brought before them in a legitimate
way, in the shape of a bill, and not foisted into and
incorporated with a money vote, instantaneously reject
it ; we confess that with all our experience of what this
Ministry can do and has done, we are staggered at its
effrontery.
And yet these are the men who talk of deference to
Public opinion !—who openly profess that it is their
creed not to think for themselves, or channel out paths
in which they deem it right that public opinion should
flow; but to march in the van of popular clamour, and
keep back measures which they hold to be beneficial
until Bristol riots and Newhill mobs have demanded
them ; for such was the excuse made by Lord John
Russell when accused of deserting the banner of Re-
form in 1826, and such was the line of argument used
by Lord Melbourne when defending lately the present
system of corn laws. These are the men who now have
so far " screwed their courage to the sticking place" as
to dare to confront public opinion, collected, not from the
dregs of our population clamouring for they know not
what in noisy and tumultuous array, but' from the ear-
nest and deep-toned remonstrance of educated Bri-
tain ; and to imult it by a prey tied` tiger of a boim

foul offering as this at the shrine of the Baal to svo.
they have bent their knee, they could no longer /0
tarn their tremulous and dancing balance of the
majority. When, during the war in Canada if`ll,,
middle of the last century, the French made use tiie
dian savages as allies, they gave free permission teti
latter to tomahawk and scalp their opponents in
to conciliate their appetite for brutally torturing t
nail of t°
foes. This outrage upon humanity was r-,.tholics
price paid for their assistance. The Roman faith
who are the hereditary enemies of our Protestsut Pa
and Church, can at any moment turn the gale it:

t'ullvtion of the Gweruraeut

measure respecting Jamaica had reached that island,
and we find the papers chiefly occupied in discussing
the merits of the plan. The'Royal Gazette seems to
advise compliance with the ministerial propositions,
while it is forced to acknowledge that they are univer-
sally unpopular in the island. It remarks—" All we
would say at this time is, to hope that those who are
most inimical to the measure will be guarded, and not
betray a vehemence, which they may hereafter regret.
It is a measure which few can justify, and we are sorry
to think it has been done with a bad spirit against the
inhabitants of this island. Out of evil cometh good,
however, and we are inclined to hope, that, however
unjust and arbitrary._and filled with evil consequences
the measure may be and at present appears, Jamaica
will yet triumph, and be a flourishing and happy colony."
The Despatch denounces the measure as arbitrary and
revolutionary. With reference to the statements made
by Mr. Labouchere, in support of the Government
measure we find the following very conclusive remarks
in the Despatch of May 27 :—" Nothing could more
clearly betray the extreme ignorance of parliamentary
members with regard to the actual condition of Jamaica
than the fact that Mr. Labouchere's miscalculation
with regard to the amount of the white and coloured
population, was swallowed as gospel, and suffered to
pass without contradiction. The Sub-Secretary, with
the most deplorable ignorance or wilful perversion of
the truth, stated that he believed the white inhabitants
of Jamaica might be rated at 5,000, a number hardly
equal to the white population of Kingston alone, with-
out computing the other towns, seaports, and extensive
parishes of the island ;—and surely Lord Normanby's
Sub-Secretary might have gained his information from
his superior, before he ventured to put forward such a
proof of gross misrepresentation in the House of Com-
mons. The white inhabitants of this colony are rated
at least at 35,000, the privileged free-coloured at
100,000, and the newly-emancipated at 311,381, rather
a small discrepancy in the estimate of the Sub-Secretary,
in deducting from one side 102,000, and adding to the.
other 8,619, merely for the base purpose of making it
appear that the constituency of the colony was confined
to from 1500 to 2000 persons, a misrepresentation pro-
mulgated by his Excellency Sir Lionel Smith and his
Baptist and Stipendiary faction ; whereas it can be
proved that there are now in Jamaica a white, brown,
and black population, eligible to exercise the elective
franchise of no less than 135,000, who can, if they
choose, vote for their own representatives ; and as the
newly-emancipated are daily acquiring property in
freeholds to qualify them to vote, it is most ,likely the
number will be soon doubled. The pretence, there-
fore, that the blacks are unrepresented, is all fudge ; as
it is notorious that at the last Kingston election, they
stood a severe contest in favour of their candidate, Mr.
Hart; and it is also notorious that most of our patrio-
tic members have polled a great number of the votes
of the black electors. It is a mere excuse, therefore,
for their own despotism, for the Government to assert
that the free Negroes are unrepresented, for they at
present possess equal, if not superior influence to the
whites, and if a proper qualification be not speedily
enacted, the interests of the capitalist and proprietory
classes may be soon over-balanced in the Assembly.
They are the parties who have most to dread from the
fear of oppression, and the dishonest and corrupt in-
trigues of a perfidious faction."
With respect to the agricultural prospects of the
island the Jamaica Standard gives the following gloomy
information :—" The May rains have fairly set in, and
under ordinary circumstances we ought to feel grate-
ful for the re-appearance of vegetation after a drought
of so many months; but such is our lamentable posi-
tion as far as the agricultural interests are concerned,
that we fear the planters have not much reason to con-
gratulate themselves. We know that very few had
finished crop as yet; and we also know that many of
the canes are perishing for want of the bill. Canes
that should have been cut three months ago are still
standing, except those which the rats have cut down !
We are indebted to an intelligent planting friend for
the following remarks :—‘ I have travelled during the
last week upwards of a hundred miles in the parishes
of St. James's, Hanover, and Westmoreland, and am
sorry to find the state of cultivation more backward
than my worst fears had anticipated. I have con-
versed with various men of practical information, and
they all declare, they see no prospect of making any-
thing worth the name of a crop next year ; and even
this is so deplorably deficient, that in these three pa-
rishes the falling off may be estimated at not less than
5000 hhds. sugar, and a corresponding quantity of
rum. I cannot see any fall plant established ; the few
acres that have been planted three or four months ago
have never been cleaned k and I defy a botanical pro-
fessor to say, amidst the glorious confusion of weeds,
what plant is the one to be cherished ! No trash has
been tened on one piece of rattoons, as the whole of
the labourers who do work are now required to make
five hhds a-week where they formerly made 10 ; and 10
where they made 20 ! As for corn, I saw none. The
poultry and other small stock on estates have totally
disappeared. If you ask an overseer why he does not
plant, the answer is,—" What is the use ? I can get no
one to watch it at night, and it is all stolen." In short,
a person might as reasonably expect to get a feed of
corn in Kamtschatka as in the county of Cornwall,
unless what is imported from Cuba or America. The
wages I find are much the same' in the three parishes,
viz., from is. Bd. to 3s. 4d. per day, free of any charge.
If these are not liberal, then I must confess my igno-
rance of the meaning of the word. Whether such
excessive liberality be consistent with good policy,
seems snore than doubtful, since it leaves the employer
entirely at the mercy of the labourer. This is not
surprising, as I am not aware that the peasantry in
any country work from choice. Necessity is the grand
impulse. On reflection, then, lam of opinion, that
unless some mighty change takes place, and that
speedily, the cultivation of the sugar-cane in the west
end of the island must ceases' We need only add,
that the concurrent testimony of almost every man
engaged in the planting line, leads us to a similar con-
clusion with our correspondent."

We rejoice to find that the monetary prospects of
Jamaica ace of a promising character. The prospec-
tive establishment of the Planters' Bank was looked
forward to with much interest. On this subject the
Despatch remarks :—" We are happy to state that the
plans for the establishment of the Planters' Bank are
being matured, and that a general meeting is convened
for the 14th prox. by the provisional directors, in order
to submit to the subscribers their report preparatory
to commencing operations. We congratulate the
country on the prospects of a local institution of this
kind, supported by the inhabitants interested in the
prosperity of agriculture, and designed to aid and re-
lieve those who are lal9ouring under difficulties pecu-
liar to the Jamaica planter at the present time, and
which the unfortunate sufferers could neither have
controlled nor foreseen. The numbers and respecta-
bility of the shareholders, who came forward in so
short a time, show the lively interest taken in the suc-
cess of the undertaking ; and we have little doubt that
it will rival even the most favoured institution of the
sort in the island (namely, the Local Bank), in sup-
plying sources of private industry and emolument,
and promoting public utility. We heartily wish the
Planters' Bank every success."
Sir Lionel Smith's recal from Jamaica was the topic
of universal congratulation amongst all respectable
classes of the community in Jamaica.

By the Palmyra we have received a file of Demerara
papers (the Guiana Chronicle) to the 20th of May in-
clusive. They do not contain much intelligence of
importance. Great complaints were made in the Colony
on the subject of the currency, owing to the incon-
gruities between the fractional parts and multiples of
dollars and cents and English sterling money, and
those of the local currency so long in use among the
inhabitants of the Colony. The old local currency
consists of the guilder, the two guilder piece, the three
guilder piece, the bitt, and the half-bitt. While people
are forced to keep their accounts in dollars and cents,
they are obliged, at the same time, to have to do with
coins which necessarily involve them in a labyrinth of
fractional parts. These descrepancies, which are the
source of so much inconvenience in several of our
Colonies, ought to be obviated by some general enact-
ment.

We have frequently asserted that there is little or no
foundation for the statements made in the Anti-slavery
points respecting the tyranny practised towards the
Negroes in the West Indies. In most cases such
statenicati axe gosay ,exaggerated,. and
.in ipine in-

stances they are pure fictions, concocted for selfish and
sinister purposes. As a specimen of the manner in
which the cruelty-mongers get up their cases we dub-
join a curious conversation, in which Mr. Scoble, one
of the Aldermanbury agents, cuts but a sorry figure.
The following conversation was copied by Mr.
M'Clelland, the editor of the Gazette, from the nar-
rative of Vincent himself, and afterwards read over to
him, when he attested that it was correct :
On Sabbath the 21st April, on returning from this famous
mission of peace at Vreed-en-Hoop, John Scoble met,
between the main road and the Ferry Stelling on the far side
of the river, a man whom he thus accosted—" My man,
where did you come from ? Man.—l belong to Vreed-en-
Hoop estate.

John Scoble.—What are you upon that estate ? Man.—
Foreman.

John Scoble.—My man you're the very person I want to
see. Since freedom took place, how have you been treated ?
Man.—We have been treated upon this estate as good as
upon any estate in this colony.
John Scoble.—What is your name ? Man.—Name Thos.
Vincent.

John Scoble.—What do you mean by treated well ?—Vin-
cent.—The good industrious people are treated well, but
they who are idle and lazy are not treated well.

John Scoble.—Weeding and moulding thirty-six beds for
two-bilts; do you call that treated well? Vincent.—For
thirty-six beds they get a guilder, and at that rate they can
make ten dollars a month.

Scoble.—Will you swear that ? Vincent.—l will.

Scoble.—lf I bring you before a court, will you swear
that ? Vincent.-1 will.

Scoble.—l know that the manager gives only two bitts for
weeding and moulding thirty-six beds, and you are telling
me lies. Vincent.—No, Sir, the manager gives a guilder for
thirty-six beds.

Scoble.—The people told me that the manager gave only
two bitts. Vincent—Please your honour, sir, I beg your
pardon ; that is not true.

Scoble.---What do you get in the month. Vincent. —Just
the same as the other people get ; that is, ten dollars a
month, and sometimes I get a little more than that.
Scoble.—Do you know who lam ? Vincent.—l heard
about you.

Scoble.—My name is John Scoble. lam your friend. I
am the man that made you all free. Vincent.—l know that
sir, but though we be free, we must work for our living.
Scoble.—l see that you head men on the estates stick up
more for the whites than for your own colour. Don't be
afraid to tell me every thing, because you are free men now,
and no person dare hurt you, have you got any children ?
Vincent.—No sir, I had five, hut they are all dead.
Scoble.—Now what could kill your five children but want
of care ? Vincent.—No it was not want of care. The Lord
gave and the Lord has taken away. The people got very
good care ; every woman got a month after her child was
born, before she was asked to do any work at all, and even
then was only required to do some little light work about the
buildings for two or three weeks, during which time she was
never sent to the field in any one case.
Scoble.—lt was want of care, because fathers and mothers
did not get time to take care of their children—did I not
know Mr. Sanderson the time he was at Wales, how he
treated the people—since freedom, how long do the women
get after their confinement, before they have to turn out to
work ? lam not sure, I don't take notice now.

Scoble.—l see you are not a friend to your own fellow.
creatures. Who gave you that watch ?

Vincent.—l got it since I was prentice labourer, not since
free take place.

Scoble.—Does your master give you clothes or anything
now ? Vincent.—Before free he did, but now lam obliged to
buy them myself—you say I am a free man now.

Scoble.—Yes, I do say so. Vincent.—This is Sunday ;
to-morrow is Monday. (I don't want to give any insolence,
Mr. Scoble.) Now, if you had an estate, and I had a cot-
tage on it, as one of your labourers, and I would sit down in
my house on to-morrow morning, the first working day in
the week, and not move out to work any till Saturday night,
and then come to you for my week's wages, would you pay
me?
Scoble.—No I would not.

Vincent.—Or please your honour sir, if you bought a piece
a land, and would hire men to work on it by task-work, and
them not do that task, would you pay them the full wages ?

Scoble.--I would not.

Vincent.—How can you expect an estate to build cottages
at a great expense, and pay the people for living in them
without working : look at the fine cottages on this estate,
there is not finer in the Colony.
Scoble.—Why don't they make bargains and pay rent for
their cottages, then in order to enable them to pay the rent,
they must get higher wages ?
Vincent.—Some people have cottages to live in who are
not able to work, and how could they pay rent ?
Scoble.—When the women stop at home from the field, a
day occasionally to wash their clothes, or perform any part
of their household work, does Mr. Sanderson older thas
things to be thrown out into the dam, and themselves to be
turned out after them ?

Vincent.—The manager turns no personoff the estate that
is willing to work. He turns no one off for being absent
one, or even two days. He turns nobody off but idle lazy
people.
Scoble.—Oh, you remember when the Coolies ran away to
Mahaica ?

Vincent.—Yes, I do.
Scoble.—Do you know when they came back?

Vincent—Yes.

Scoble.—Were they not put in the sick-house and locked
up in the stocks the night they returned, and taken out and
flogged the next morning ?
Vincent.—l heard that the Coolies were flogged, but I
never saw it.

Scoble.—They were flogged, and Mr. Sanderson and Mr.
Jacobs were present and saw them flogged.
Vincent.—No, sir, Mr. Sanderson never saw them flogged.
Scoble.—lf I buy an estate in this Colony, you shall never
be the foreman of it, for you are not a friend to the people,
and you have told me nothing but lies ; nothing but a bundle
of lies.

We understand that the proposed demonstration of Pro-
testant feeling to be made at Newton, next September, by
the united Protestant Associations of Liverpool, Manchester,
Warrington, Wigan, and Northwich, is extorted by the mani-
fest growth of Popish influence in Parliament, and the de-
ference of Government to it, as exhibited this session by the
Chaplaincy Clause in the Prisons Bill, and the scheme of Edu-
cation. England is forced now to the alternative of yielding
to the dictation of this growing and organized influence,
which aims at nothing less than the prostration of all her
Scriptural Institutions, or uniting in a combination of de-
termined Protestantism, which shall make it clear to any
Government that the time for Popish domination in this
country is not yet arrived. The specific objects of the in-
tended meeting will be threefold—first, to petition Parliament
against any further grant to Maynooth College ; secondly, to
petition for the extinction of the Irish Education Board, and
of the English Board also, should ministers proceed with it
on the strength of the majority of two; and, thirdly, to pro-
mote the formation of Protestant Associations in all the
towns of England.
