WEST INDIES,

The West indian steamer a name. a. tv
on Thursday evening, at seven. She brings about 400,000
dollars and 127 serous of cochineal.
The Jamaica papers, which are usually regarded as the
most important in furnishing information on the general
prospects and condition of these possessions, allude to the
satisfactory condition of the treasury, which, at the Board of
Commissioners for Public Accounts, was stated to have been
£119,627. 18s. Bd. on the 31st of December last, while the
Sept. quarter had not shown more than £108,497. 19s. Gd.
The new tariff had made a considerable accession to the
funds of the government, and though it does not appear in
all respects to meet with the approbation of the public, pro-
visions being taxed highly, still it is admitted generally to
have given much strength to the revenue. Improvements in
the distillation of rum were occupying the attention of the
planters, but no positive result had yet been arrived at, which
had caused some discontent among those who were led to
expect that there could be no doubt of the success of the
principle. With respect to the condition of the crops, the
advices read rather favourably, and in several of the districts
the coffee-fields are represented as in full bloom, affording
excellent promise for a large crop, while the pimento also
gave good indication for the future. There is nothing s:iid
in these papers relative to the state of the sugar plantations,
but by what can be gathered front other sources, there ap-
peared to be doubts, as there are also in Demerara and
Barbadoes, of the coming crop yielding au average equal to
that of last year, and the deficiency seems for the most part
to have been occasioned by the drought which has for the
last two months prevailed in many of the islands, although
the want of suficient labour to keep the estates in the con-
dition required for their protection from those mischances
attending agricultural operations is likewise stated to have
contributed its effect to this unfortunate result.
In the Demerara, Barbadoes, and Trinidad papers the
question of emigration is much discussed, and in the former
colony in connexion with the departure of a number of
Coolies, who were returning to their native land with wealth
I amassed. to the extent of 23,000 dollars. 16,000 dollars of
. .

which they had actually taken with them. Opinions are
stated as differing in the value of this description of labour in
the West Indies, hut the weight of argument seems to be in
favour of it, for although it is stated that they accumulate
their wages without giving them the slightest circulation in
the locality, they are in most cases allowed to be an indus-
trious, persevering, and quietly-conducted race of people.
Government are urged by some of the influential planters to
encourage the emigration of the natives of the east, as a
means of reviving the lost fortunes of their brethren of the

west.
In Demerara a strict investigation into the exercise of
powers under trust properties, either bequeathed or seques-
tered for the benefit of creditors, was occasioning consider-
able sensation among parties who had been deputed to fill
such appointments, and accounts had been rendered by seve-
ral with the view to show the strictness and integrity with
which they had administered their duties. A great number,
however, still remained without any statement of the collected
assets, or property likely to be realized for the benefit of
those who happen to have claims upon them, and the laxity
so exhibited was calling forth the just censure of the press,
the conductors of which are vigorously endeavouring to ob-
tain the interference of the colonial executive, in order to
force a due obedience to the reenlations that ought to be re-
garded in the administration of such estates. The Troughton
property is cited as an instance on a large scale in which the
intervention of the authorities could be used with profit to
facilitate the payment of a dividend to the numerous creditors
to whom it would be useful. The declaration of a dividend
under the English estate had stirred the creditors in the co-
lony to loud complaining on the subject.

SIR CHAILLUS METCALFE.—One thousand guineas, it is
said, was paid by Government for the accommodation of his
Excellency Sir Charles Metcalfe and suite in the Columbia

THE LATE SIR W. MACNACIITEN.—The remains of Sir
Macnaghten are now on their way to Calcutta. and
may be expected in a few days. They were recovered at a
large price, by Lady Macnaghteo, from the well into which
they had been cast. The body was recognised from its mu-
tilated condition, and from the absence of the head and the
arm. which had been cut off by the Affghan ruffians who as-
sassinated him. We have been given to understand that it
is not intended to pay the usual public honours to the re-
mains of this lamented public servant, though at the time
of his decease he occupied one of the most important and
responsible posts under this Government, and had been nomi-
nated Governor 'of the Bombay presidency.—Friend of

The Courrier de Lyon !states that an Englishman lately
died at Vienna, whose manner of living was exceedingly cu-
rious. Being affected with a liver complaint, and having
seen in a treatise on the malady that baths were a good reme-
dy, he took two every day for the last seven years. At first
the length of each was two hours, but that period went on
gradually increasing. For the last three years he entered the
bath at half-past four or five, and remained there until
twelve, when he dined. He again entered the bath at half-
past one, and left it at eight in the evening, to eat his supper
and go to bed. So that he spent thirteen hours a day in the
water. On the day of his death he arrived at the bath a
little later than usual, and complained of the loss of a valua-
ble half-hour. In an hour after a servant entered, and found
him with his head inclined on one side—dead.
INSURRECTION IN 130`,.N1A.-VIENNA, May, 22.—Intel-
ligence from the military frontier states, that an insurrection
had broken out among the Turkish population in Bosnia.
On the 12th May, the Viceroy established himself in a camp
near Bisacz, with the intention of operating against the in-
surgents. The latter consisted chiefly of Arnauts, and they
received reinforcements front Duvno, Livuo, Kupress, and
Glamorcz. On the 9th the insurgents endeavoured to take
the fortress of Ostroschatz by storm, but they were repulsed
by the garrison. From Yaszenicza the Viceroy summoned,
the rebels to surrender up twelve of their ringleaders, of-
fering to grant an amnesty to the rest. To this proposition,
however, the insurgents would not accede, and demanded,
as the conditions of their submission, the removal of the
Pasha of Besacz and the Arnauts from among them, and the
reduction of the recently augmented custom-house duty to
its former amount. The rebels still continue to keep the
fortresses of Brechovicza, Ostrosehatz, and Krupa closely
blockaded, whilst the operations of the Vizier are tempora-
rily suspended by the overflowing of the river Klogot. This
insurrectionary movement, which is not marked by any po-
litical character, will probably be-of short duration, like all
simiiar movements in Bosnia.—Austrian Observer.

IRELAND,

MOB-MEETINGS IN DUBLIN

(Front the Dublin Evening Mail.)

Since the first evening upon which the new mail-coaches
of Mr. Croat started from the Post-office, the entire area of
Sackville-street has exhibited, on each recurring night, a
scene little in accordance with the peace and order which, at
such a time, should pervade a quiet and well-regulated city.
Vast crowds of people assemble, obstructing the free passage
of the citizens, and making it necessary for the authorities to
have a strong force of police and military in attendance for
more than an hour each evening ; and all for the ostensible
purpose of hooting the insensible machines of paint and tim-
ber that convey her Majesty's mails. It is impossible to
believe, for a moment, that sympathy for Mr. Purcell—a
gentle.nan, by the way, who does not possess the unqualified
respect or affection of the Irish mobs, or their great leader—
is the real purport that brings together these vast concourses.
The true object of those meetings is to exhibit the physical
power and numerical strength of the sovereign people, and
the moral power of their leaders in swaying the multitude,
g:rvi:rning their movements, and giving the proper direction
to their passions and feelings. Accordingly we perceive, and
with no surprise, that a popular commander is always present
on those occasions, preaching nominal obedience to the laws.
but never failing to add a word of hope and encouragement
with respect to a great subject of popular excitement. On
one occasion Mr. Reilly harangued the mob, and last evening
the Head Pacificator himself—sent, as we are told, by the
ib and " with a light green bough in his hand, which,
uLpoenrerattocri occasions, he bears, as the symbol of his func-
tions " pleasingly symbolical, no doubt, of the dove with the
olive 'branch—addressed the multitude, not on the subject of
Croal, Peter Purcell, or the mail contract, but of Daniel
O'Connell—" the old accomplice of the Saxon, Wellington
—and the ethereal system of regeneration."

FROM THE FREEMAN.)

" The Head Pacificator on Thursday evening was again
sent by the Liberator to Sackville-street, to preserve order
during the arrival and departure of Croat's old-new coaches,
and to prevent a recurrence of any scenes like those which
occurred at their first starting.
" When the conches had all left the Post-office, Mr.
Steele harangued the multitude for a few moments. He said
that he had it in charge from the father of his country to tell
them !hat he was sorry that they should be wasting their
time upon such a matter as Croat's or Peter Purcell's coaches ;
but, at the same time, he also had it in charge from his
august and mighty leader to give expression to his (Mr.
deeuest, his most intense gratitude, for the

aj
proof they had given the evening before of their confidence
and their devotion. They had not allowed themselves to be
overcome by the military or the police, but the very moment
they heard what he desired, they acted on his counsel. (Tre-
mendous shouting, and cries of to be sure we did.') A peo-
ple (continued Mr. Steele) so brave, but at the same time so
docile and obedient—and with dauntless bravery, docility,
and voluntary obedience to le.adership, are the elements of
moral might irresistible; a people such as you are cannot,
by any possibility be kept groaning under the bloody and
atrocious tyranny of the alien Saxon, and the old accomplice
of the Saxon, Wellington of Ireland. (Long-continued ac-
clamations.) The rest of Ireland is just what you are. Let
Ireland but preserve her lawful tranquillity, in combination
with her obdurate energy of resolution—let Ireland do this,
