Another of the annual riots took place at the Foyle fishe-
ries, near Londonderry, on the Bth instant. About 300 men
assembled in two parties, and a dreadful conflict ensued
about their rights of fishery, and they were not quelled by the
police until two boats were smashed to pieces, and one man
all but murdered.

The letter bears no date, but the postmark is Thursday
evening, eight o'clock. Immediately after reading the letter
Mr. Shiell despatched it to Superintendent Bicknell's house,
by whom it was forwarded to the commissioners' office, in
Scotland-yard, by a mounted express. The authenticity of
the letter is doubted by the police authorities, who deem it
to be the work of some trifling person for the purpose of an-
noying the feelings of the aged master of the murderer.

Up to a late Iniur last night no direct clue had been ob-
tained by the police likely to lead to the apprehension of the
murderer.

APPREHENSION OF THE MURDERER
(Abridged yesterday'sfrom Times.)
. .

The inhuman monster, Daniel Good, is, we are happy to
say, at length apprehended, and is now in safe custody in
Maidstone Gaol. The circumstances connected with the dis-
covery of the retreat of the murderer and his apprehension
are as singular as were those under which the first discovery
of the murder was made.

On yesterday se'nnight he hired himself at Tonbridge in
Kent, as a bricklayer's labourer, under the name of James
Connor. He performed his work well and was regularly at
it, but he shunned all communication with his fellow-work-
men. He was noticed by the female with whom he took up
his abode as lodger to show many peculiarties of conduct,
and was very restless all night, sighing and moaning. He
continued at work as usual until last Saturday morning, when
a man named Thomas Rose, who had formerly been a con-
stable of the V division of the metropolitan police, and while
so was stationed at Wandsworth, but who now is a labouring
man residing in Tonbridge, saw the man calling himself Con-
nor at work, and immediately recognizing him as the mur-
derer Good, accosted him, and said, " Why you are the man
Good. Your name is Daniel Good." The man replied,
" No, it is not ; my name is James Connor." Rose then
said, " Why, you are he that I have seen in Putney Park-
lane ; you was coachman to a gentleman there." The man
told him he was mistaken, he never had been a coachman,
and was quite unacquainted with any place called Putney
Park-lane. Rose then said, " Oh, I have seen you frequently
at the stables opposite to Mr. Hutton's, and you know young
Houghton." The man again denied all knowledge of either
the place or the person he was alleged to be intimate with, but
he d,d so in so confused a manner as at once to convince
Rose that he was no other than Daniel Good, the murderer.
Rose did not then attempt to take the alleged Connor into
custody, but gave private directions to some persons near to
watch him, whilst he (Rose) went to give information to Mr.
Humphrey, the superintendent of police. That officer re-
turned with Rose, and, feeling satisfied there was sufficient
in the appearance of the man, and in his conduct, to warrant
his detention, took him into custody, and conveyed him to
the watchhouse. Mr. Hare, a resident magistrate, was then
sent for, who directed the prisoner to be brought before him
at the offices of the magistrate's clerk, Mr. Scoone. Mr.
Hai e took his seat upon the bench at two o'clock. Evidence
to the above effect was then gone into, and the prisoner was
committed to Maidstone gaol.__ __ _ _ _ . .

The prisoner brought alundle with him to Tunbridge, in
which were found, after his apprehension, the old drab frock
coat, drab trousers and gaiters which were stated to have been
worn by Good when he escaped from the stables in Putney
Park Lane, and several other articles usually worn by grooms.
The prisoner was afterwards identified by a private constable
who was perfectly acquainted with his person.
A man, of the name of Richard Gamrnell, in Symonds'-
buildings, Gray's Inn-lane, has been also taken into custody,
on a charge of harbouring and secreting the murderer. On
searching this man's room several gowns and other articles
of female apparel which are believed to have belonged to the
murdered woman were found.

At an early hour yesterday morning, " Molly Good," the
murderer's reputed wife, was taken into custody, on a charge
of being accessory to the murder after the fact. They will
be brought up at the Bow-street police-court this (Monday)
morning, before Mr. Hall, the chief magistrate, for ex-
amination.

WEST INDIAN IMMIGRATION

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN ANTI-

SLAVERY SOCIETY, 27, NEW BROAD-STREET

Berkeley House, April 14, 1842

Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of a pamphlet, en-
titled, " Emigration from India," to which your name, " on
behalf of the committee of our British and Foreign Anti-Sla-
very Society," is subscribed. In return I have to request
that you will acquaint the members of that committee that
it has been with the deepest regret that I have looked through
the pages of that publication, and in it perceived a vein so
party-stricken and purposely deceptive as to the real inten-
tions of those who are advocates for the importation of free
labour into the Mauritius, as well as other places, that I can-
not but regard it as calculated to do an infinity of mischief
to the general welfare of British colonial property, while, at
the same time, it amounts to an address favourable to the
foreign slaver.

I have ever voted for, and been an unflinching advocate in
furtherance of the abolition of slavery ; but, at the same
time, I have never lent myself, nor will I lend myself, to the
views of a party who seem entirely to forget that there are
other interests as well as those of the negro population which
arc entitled to an equal share of just and fair attention from
the government of this country. At the present moment
there exists a ruinous depression on colonial property, as un-
called for as it is cruel. There are localities where our black
population cannot be induced, either by fair and ample amount
of wages, or by giving them an interest in the produce, to
work upon estates; and to such an extent has this existed,
that the owners of many estates have been necessitated to
expend far more than the sum received as compensation, in
forced disbursements, without a shilling of income in return.
It is an established fact, that, in the last year, the cost of la-
bour in making a hogshead of sugar, in British Guiana, was
greater than the value obtained for that commodity in the
London market.

In parts of British Guiana a fortnight's labour, or less, will
supply a native family with vegetables for 12 months ; the
river abounds with the finest fish, while the " bush," or
forest, is full of deer and hogs ; in addition to this the climate
and the custom of the country renders clothing in no way im-
portant to the comfort of the negro. They have at their com-
mand the necessaries of life without the necessity of money
to procure them. How, then, can you awaken in the breast
of these people a desire for gold, or give them an interest in
produce arising from the culture of the land ?
I would impress upon the anti-slavery committee, and on
the public, that unless free labour be introduced, and that
to a widely spread and liberal extent, the cultivation of our
colonies must eventually be abandoned, oar possessions be
returned into the hands of a black population, our nursery
for seamen and the consumption of 14,000,000 of home pro-
duce be lost to this country, the cause of religion relinquished,
and that which was once a boasted territory, its population
and all, be left to retrograde into a state of barbarism.
We have it now before our eyes, that the negroes in De-
merara have struck to a man for exorbitant wages, while as
a fact in favour of free labour importation, it is proved that
the Portuguese emigrant has remained faithful and content-
ed with his employer. Do not tell me then that religion,
reason, or justice demand that we should oppose an emigra-
tion properly regulated, and where the spiritual and tempo-
ral welfare of the labourer would be duly considered and
cared for by Government.
I repeat, sir, my regrets, that a struggle so just and beauti-
ful as the one in which we were lately engaged in for the
abolition of slavery should now be turned into a mere run,
and an unjust one too, against individual property, simply
because that property is situated where slavery used to exist.
For myself, I am an advocate for the general importation
of free labour to the Mauritius, to the British West India
colonies, wherever it is required—Guiana, Demerara, and
Berbice—guarded, as the measure should be, with the utmost
jealousy as to the welfare, spiritual and temporal, of the
emigrants.

A- sufficiency of free labour once fairly obtained, the Bri-
tish West India merchant need fear no reduction of the du-
ties on foreign sugar, but, on the contrary, he would be able
to compete with the market of the world.
Your most obedient humble servant,
GRANTLEY, FITZHARDINGE BERKELEY.

The number of salted hides received from La Plata in
1841 exhibits an increase of 277,342 over that imported in
1840 ; the number received in 1840 being 344,455, whereas
the number imported in 1841 amounts to 621,797. Again,
the number of dry, ox and cow hides imported in 1841 ex-
hibits an increase over that entered in 1840 amounting to
71,250.

EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCE OF DIVINE WORSHIP.
—On Sunday morning divine service was performed at the
Institution of the Refuge for the Adult Destitute Deaf and
Dumb, in Bartlett's-buildings, Holborn, London. The
congregation was composed chiefly of deaf and dumb per-
sons, and this is the first attempt at instructing in scriptural
doctrines by public worship that class of the suffering com-
munity labouring under the deprivation of the senses of
hearinc, and speaking ever made. The service was con-
ducted in the following manner, and presented a most inter-
esting scene :—Mr. Rosser, a deaf and dumb gentleman,
performed, if it may be so termed, selections from the morn-
ing service, which was done by making signs with his fing-
ers, and the rapidity with which he did it was wonderful.
The Lord's Prayer was delivered entirely by pantomimical
gestures, and was a beautiful specimen of expressive silence.
After the morning service Mr. J. G. Simpson delivered a
short but eloquent discourse from the 35th chap. of Isaiah,
and it was conveyed to his audience through the medium of
signs, as he slowly proceeded, by Miss Janet Crouch, a re-
markably intelligent little girl, only eight years of age, who,
although neither deaf nor dumb, is as conversant with the
signs as the adult deaf and dumb members of the institution,
The rapidity of the child's motions by which she conveyed
the discourse delivered by Mr. Simpson was astonishing.
At the conclusion of the discourse the deaf and dumb were
asked by the same medium of signs whether they perfectly
understood what had been delivered, to which they assented.

I.—That the chamber having at its last general meeting
declined to pronounce an opinion concerning the corn laws
until the intentions of government on this and kindred '
sub-
jects were known, and, as these intentions are now before the
public, it becomes the duty of the directors to revert to so
important a matter.

.—That objections to particular parts of the entire finan-
cial scheme proposed by Sir Robert Peel should not be al-
lowed to militate against it as a whole, because, though there
are few branches of trade or manufacture which do not con-
sider themselves to be more or less injuriously affected
thereby, yet the fact that so many demands for modification
are made, not in regard to the whole, but by each man for his
special department, proves that the public will be gainers,
and thus these same persons who remonstrate will themselves
be benefitted in every branch, except, perhaps, their own,
while the fairness and impartiality of the measure are further
evidenced by the great number and variety of the articles
subjected to alteration.
3.—ln the opinion of the chamber the scheme submitted to
parliament by the first minister of the crown is an impartial
compromise between the conflicting interests he had to re-
concile. And, considering its vast and comprehensive cha-
racter, the necessity of equalising the revenue and expendi-
ture of the country, the complicated interests involved, and
the many and great difficulties arrayed against it, the direc-
tors believe that it will confer as much real benefit on trade
and manufactures, and on the public, as it was possible, in
the present state of the country, to expect.
4.—The directors further believe that many of the parties
who at present expect to be hurt thereby, will ultimately find
the injury so inflicted to be very little, and that little proba-
bly more than compensated for by countervailing advantages ;
while they have perfect confidence in the wisdom and fairness
of the government to grant such modification in special cases
as the speciality may require and the general weal admit ;
and the chamber does not by these resolutions, intend to
fetter itself from presenting to government any such special
cases as may seem to require its interference.
s.—While thus accepting the government scheme as a
comprehensive and wise measure, the Chamber is nevertheless
convinced that, if sudden effect be given to the alteration of
duties on some of the greater articles (such as timber and
India coffee, not of British plantations), much individual loss
and suffering will be occasioned, for which it can discern no
adequate advantage to the public service, and, therefore,
earnestly desires that a reasonable period be allowed to run
off existing stocks and to make new arrangements.
