official documents that the production of the West
Indies has recently increased, clap their hands and
cry "a miracle 1" under the impression that they
have proved these colonies to be in a condition of
prosperity. The petitions state :
" That the landed property of the West India colonies
has been thus rendered by the legislative acts generally
valueless, for, large as is their declared production, it is
very considerably less than in 1834, the last year of sla-
very ; and it appears by a return ordered by the House of
Commons that, comparing the imports from British Gui-
ana, Jamaica, and Trinidad, during the years 1834 to 1838,
(the year when apprenticeship was abruptly terminated,
with those of the years 1844 to 1848, the production of
sugar has fallen off 3,130.000 cwts.—
Molasses.
Rum
Coffee 52,661,350 lbs.
and the production of cotton has entirely ceased, neither
can it be allowed that that quantity presents any criterion
of cost, which your petitioners are prepared to prove before
a committee of your hmourable house, exceeds the value
of the production in the great majority of these colonies."
The second document is a memorial to Earl
Grey, as secretary to the colonies, from " the West
India Association of Liverpool," on behalf of the
merchants, planters, and others interested in the
colony of British Guiana, representing the extreme
suffering existing in the colony, and praying to be
allowed to provide for themselves a supply of free
labourers from the East Indies and the neighbour-
ing coast of Africa, to enable them to raise crops
of cotton, coffee, and sugar, to compete with the
slave grown produce of the Brazils, Cuba, and the
United States. The following, they represent, has
been the result of the policy which has been pur-
sued towards them hitherto, and the encourage-_
ment which they offer, and which no real friend of
.the African race ought to reject, for the removal of
the absurd and harassing restrictions to which they
have been subjected :
" In 1838 there were 258 estates in Demerara and Esse-
quibo, in profitable cultivation ; of these 71 have been
abandoned, 111 sold under execution sale, all
as now clearly appears, by the emancipation of the negroes
without allowing the planters to supply themselves with
labourers from other sources.
" That the t.olonists of British Guiana are thus abso-
lutely prevented trying the great experiment of free la-
bour against slave labour ; and they ask but to be
allowed that to which they conceive they have a right, and
which is granted to British subjects elsewhere—the free
importation of labourers willing to emigrate from all parts
of the world.

TUESDAY MORNING,

APRIL 16, 1850.

WE have not, of course, reported the proceedings
of the Anti-State Church Society's meeting in this
town last week. Their own party is now becoming
utterly ashamed of their revolutionary and seditious
tendencies, as is testified by the following state-
ment of Dr. Campbell, hitherto one of their cham-
pions :

1 •••
In another[
year we may hope to find the drain
upon us for building purposes at an end ; and when,
in addition to this relief, we procure the fair rating
of every description of property in the town, we
may anticipate a still further reduction of our local
taxation.

there is not a grocer, draper, butcher, bapker, or
shopkeeper in Liverpool, or wherever these notes
were issued, who would not, within a month's time,
gladly receive them as cash for goods, or a mer-
chant who would not receive them with the same
readiness from the shopkeeper • and that, before
the expiration of six months, they would circulate
freely from hand to hand in the ordinary channels

A curious notion has of late been circulated rather
extensively by the organs of the Free Trade party.
The grain markets throughout the country obsti-
nately refuse to listen to the cheering voices and
arguments of the Times and other clacquers of the
Cobden policy. Prices will not go up. The farmer
will not be persuaded that be is doing so well with
wheat at 40s. as he would have done with the
article at 60s. Trade generally is not in a state to
bear out the confident predictions, which have been
all along hazarded, of plethoric prosperity. A
settled gloOm hangs over the public mind ; and
this, we are told, is entirely caused by the repre-
sentations of protectionist speakers and journalists,
who are misleading and frightening the whole
community ! Board of Trade returns and revenue
tables, exhibiting increased exports and imports,
are referred to in vain,—thanks to the ravings of
would-be monopolists, who persist in depressing
their own and other people's spirits with idle stories
of suffering and coming ruin.
It is, no doubt, very mortifying to the advocates
of free trade that they are unable to persuade the
community that affairs are in a flourishing condi-
tion. Facts, however, are unfortunately dead against
them. Balance sheets of commercial and manu-
facturing operations, notwithstanding the florid
representations of ministers, shew results little
bother than those of the despoiled and half-ruined

year or two, indeed, we have been practical seceders, hav-

part in its public Meetings ; but now, even our nominal
connexion with it,—till the perversion of its influence to
purposes of anarchy shall have ceased, and the recurrence
of such an evil be rendered ever after impossible,—is
closed. WE NO LONGER STAND IDENTIFIED WITH THE

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—Two MEN DROWNED.—About
twenty minutes past ten o'clock on Sunday night, James
O'Donnell, steward of the Hibernia, Holyhead steamer,
at present lying at Birkenhead Dock for repairs, heard a
splash in the water, ciose to the vessel, and soon disco.
vered that some person had fallen into the water between the
steamer's side and the dock wall. O'Donnell immediately
threw the party a rope, which he caught hold of, but had not
sense to retain. The boatswain by this time having come to
the steward's assistance, the latter, taking hold of the rope,
boldly jumped into the water, and seized hold of a drowning
man. He fastened the rope round his body, there being, it was
thought, still a spark of life in him, when a few persons and a
police constable, who had reached the spot, pulled him up on
the dock side. He was immediately taken on board the Hi-
bernia, placed in the galley, and every remedy usual in such
cases applied to restore animation ; but in vain. On the arri-
val of Surgeon Walker the applications were again renewed,
and the body removed to the Dock Hotel, where every accom-
modation in the power of Mr, and Mrs. Beddows was afforded;
but we regret to say with no better result. The body was after-
wards found to be that of a young man named Jelly, who, the
same evening, had been drinking with a man named Hardman,
a ship-smith, from Drogheda, employed in repairing the tug-
boat Hero, lying in the Morpeth Dock. No suspicion arose at
the time that Hardman had fallen into the water, nor, indeed,
was any apprehension felt about the matter till yesterdaymorn-
ing, when his wife came down to the Hero to make inquiry for
him, when the melancholy truth was suspected. Search was
made in the various houses where he frequented ; but he was
not to be found. At length the dock was grapnelled, and his
body was fountl just in the spot where Mr. Jelly had been taken
out. The corpse was also removed to the Dock Hotel, where
au inquest will be held upon the bodies. No doubt both parties
fell into the water together, whilst endeavouring to go from the
dock wall to the steamer's deck.

.

Two most able documents are now before us,
which, if anything could awaken the British Par-
liament and people to a sense of the injustice with
which they have treated, and are even now treating,
ourunfortunate West Indian colonists, ought to do so.
The first of these is the petition, to both houses, of
"the West India merchants, planters, and others at
the port of Liverpool," and signed by F. Shand, Esq.,
as chairman of the West India Association, setting
forth, in detail, the injurious measures by which
their property in these colonies has been rendered
almost valueless ; and praying that Parliament
would either compensate them equitably for the
wrongs inflicted upon them by its own and the
nation's breach of faith, or protect them from com-
petition from slave dealing communities, by prohi-
biting the consumption in Great Britain of sugar
and coffee produced by countries where the slave
trade is still carried on. One passage in this pe-
tition contains a satisfactory reply to those inge-
nious ataticians, who, because they can show from '
