PRMAT MORNING, AUGUST 14, 1835.

Ai- the witsons, Captain MILLER, we have received
Demerara journals to the 27th June. The colony was
tranquil, and the apprentices, if not more industrious,
'were certainly less insubordinate. The Governor bad
left an a visit to Berbice. •

, the Argentina, Captain KELSO, which sailed from
Montevideo on the 3d June, and arrived here on Tueg-
daY last, we have papers from that place of a late date,
and also Buenos Ayres papers to the end of May. They
do not contain any political news of importance. On
the 25th of May the inhabitants of Buenos Ayres cele-
brated by illuminations, fetes, and other modes of re-

A LONDON SHIP GOING HOME IN BALLAST FOR WANT OF
FREIGHT.
Some of the vessels which have sailed from this port this
Year have gone considerably short of their usual cargo of sugar
.• and rum ; and several of those now in harbour will do the
same Disheartening as this circumstance is, we have vet to
one still more so. The ship, Janet, Chalmers, left our
~11°res yesterday, for London. in ballast, every <fort to procure
I?I; her a cask of sugar or rum having proved ineffectual. But
this is not all ; the people of England have been so deceived by
"e reports of the " successful" working of the new system,
Sent home by his excellency and his satellites, to whom he had
written flu-favourable accounts under their judicious arrange•
Inelat:" that ne'credit. had been given to gentlemen who have
written to their constituents fair and accurate statements of the
• 4ituation' of the bland. At all events they have been told
: I that the accounts received from Jamaica arc very contradic-
t4Y;" and many of them, not suspecting the system of inten-
nnal deception which has been practised on them, have been
—Muted to. place the most faith in the most favourable' reports—
' especially as they had been informed of the prosperous appear-
ance of the Island up tO the Ist of August. It was under these
"11Pressions, no doubt, that the Messrs. Dawsons, of London.
' Wrote OR the 15th April last, to Captain Chalmers, to sai, that
"PeY intended to send out the Watertily immediately to take
teal 'agar and rum. the Janet nyglit leave." Is it not most repre., '
iLettsible thus to sacrifice private interest for the sake of de-
uthog the public for a few short months, and that on a subject
of vital importance ? Some of our friends in England will find
• their cost, that the declarations of a great personage, whether
made in the Carrihean or Mediterranean sea, are entitled to
• "ial confidence. The 'whip are now in. Will the Marquis
theirligo repeat to theM the asiurance of the fuccessful issue of
Projects in *is country.—Montego Bay.Staluiard.
The report of the committee of the St. James's Emigration
10eiety affords another proof of the ill working of the new sys-
tfern, and if the Marquis of Sligo is at all ilisnoml to listen to the
l!ets which tell against his predilections, it must convince bins
that any report he may receive, stating that the new system is
Ilorking well, is most erroneous. The enormous deficiency
:,"°Wed to exist in the quality of sugar shipped in 1535, as com-
pared with that corresponding period last year, clearly shows
that the present crop will not -prove an " average'? one.

Murder and liberal principles are doing frightful work
111 various parts of the world at the present moment. In
Pain the government of CEIRISTINE, acting in the name
nr ISABELLA, are burning convents and monks as farmers
.40 thorns and rats. In the march of intellect and pro-
fligacy human life is not esteemed more valuable than
that of vermin. In one town in Spain on the 22d July,
some pretext or other, " two convents were given up
10 the flames, and twenty-seven monks lost their lives."
Barcelona, on the 25th, several religious houses
" Were delivered up to the flames, and the ornaments of
.111 e church and the sacred vestments were burnt. The
rnionks who sought to escape were killed by the populace,
i.)tlt the greater part of those who perished were the vic-
(444B of the flames." In Catalonia the whole of the mo-
nastic edifices are doomed to destruction. The nuns are
generally spared, and some of the monks have effected
their escape, but the numbers who have perished are al-
111°8t incredible, while the destruction or confiscation of
their property is complete.
These outrages and atrocious murders originated with
the CIIIOSTINE or liberal party; the constituted authori-
•l'es, and even the soldiers of the Queen, looking on with
'aint indifference. They were renewed at Barcelona on
the sth instant with redoubled fury by the republican
party, which is alike opposed to the Queen and Don
-;Antos. General BABA, an officer of the Queen's
forces, at the head of 2,000 men, entered Barcelona on
,the 4th. He was next day attacked in the very palace
y a republican mob, thrown from the balcony, dragged
bthrough the streets, and his dead body thrown into the
flames

This is awful work; but who can tell whether it may
not be productive of salutary effects, Popery is so iden-
. tified and intertwined with despotism that it is impossible
