Friday morning, the fine ship George Canning-,
Captain PORTER, sailed from Greenock for Quell( c,
with 489 passengers, chiefly from Glasgow and its
neighbourhood, consisting of weavers, cotton-spinners,
joiners, farmers, and labourers, from the various emi-
grant associations which the distress of the times has
lately called into operation. Of the above number,
there are 264 males, and 225 females. The adult
portion of both is 239. The number of families of
which the whole consists is 113.

A Commission from Doctors Commons is sitting
at Plymouth, to inquire into the sanity of mind of
the late Colonel CrIIOGHERTY, of Saltaish, at the time
he made his will, by which he bequeathed property
to the amount of £lO,OOO to a Gentleman of that
place not related to him, having sons and daughters
living in his house, to whom he left nothing.
The following is an extract of a letter from Port-
au-Prince, dated 10th March :

a You will, no doubt, have been informed of the
disturbances that have broken out at Gonaives. The
insurrection was to have been general through the
North at the same time. The vigilance of General
Magny (the Governor of the Cape) and General
Marc, at St. Marc's, prevented it from taking place,
by arresting all the chief conspirators.—General
Richard and twenty-three others have arrived at
Port-au-Prince, are under trial, and will be shot.

"At Gonaives, the garrison and people of the
neighbouring country took possession of the town,
and made General Tranick and all attached to this
party fly to the vessels for safety. They have plun-
dered all the town, of which they still keep posses-
sion ; but an overpowering force has been sent against
them, and they will be speedily reduced. To form
an idea of the barbarous atrocities of the most bloody
monster (Christophe) that ever disgraced the human
form, you should visit the North, as I did ; see the
miserable victims that escaped from his cells, hear
their tales of woe, and view their emaciated and mu-
tilated bodies.

46 I went through his famous citadel and Palace
of Sans Souci. In the former, on the highest bas-
tion, I saw the body of the Monster ; it was slightly
covered with lime and earth, which I caused to be
partially removed ; he had been dead then six weeks.
His cells were improvements on the celebrated Black-
hole of Calcutta. Men of the best constitutions lost
the use of their limbs in twenty-four hours, and it
was a miracle if they survived the foutth day. It
would take a ream of paper, and more time than
can afford, to give you a faint idea of what the un-
fortunate people suffered who were under his iron
yoke. The waste of human life was incredible and
I hear from the first authority, that Ferrier alone cost
fifty thousand lives, and at least thirty thousand
more annually died of hunger and fatigue at the pub-
lic works, besides the many thousands sacrificed in
cold blood, to gratify the thirst which the ruffian
bad for human blood."
