Montego Bay, Jamaica, whence she sailed On the
9TH January. Captain Snow reports thai the
whole Island was in state of confusion and
alarm, in consequence Of the insurrectionary
movements Of the slaves. The troops had been
called out, and had attacked them, and all who
did not surrender at discretion were shot. Ma
ny slaves, il is added, had met that fate. Mar.

500 marines on board. The insure ton was

Dissection The horror excited in London BY
the recent discoveries Of the practice Of Burking
in that metropolis, has led to much discussion as
to the best mode Of encouraging dissections by
law. Among others, Colonel Jones, noted
Radical, addressed letter to the Times on this
subject, ia which he advocates the proprietv Of
the middle and higher ranks leaving their bodies
for the benefit Of science as an example to the
lower ranks to do the same. The Colonel states
that he has bequeathed his own body to the Ana
,Qmica Theatre Of the London University.

ISLANDS OF THE PACIFIC.


II. NJ. ship Comet, lately arrived from
New South Wales, has made a most inter-
esting cruise.
In consequence of an application from
the Inhabitants of Pitcairn Island in the
Pacific, (who, our readers will remember,
were the descendants of the Mutineers of
the Bouuty,) to he removed to Otaheite

procuring water, on their own Island, the
Home Government ordered the authorities
at New South Wales to comply with their
wishes, and for this purpose, fl. NJ. s. Com
ct was sent accompanied by the Transport
Lucy Ann. They accordingly left Sydney
on the 18th October, and after touching at
New Zealand proceeded to Pitcairn Island.
Tie Inhabitants, however, on their arrival,
seemed to have changed their mind, and
naturally showed great reluctance to leave
the spot where almost all of them had been
born and brought up. They have been de-
scri5ed to us, as being very superior race
of people indeed, and much attention had
accordingly been paid to their MORALS and
| Religious Edueaton-the more striking, as
the Comet on touching at New Zealand
had observed the reverse-for the greatest

! After Il short solonrn, the whole Of the
population of the Island, amounting to 81
souls, were embarked, and safely landed
1t Otaheite, where the Queen had prepaied
for them grants Of land. 1t will he remem-
bered that the mutineers supplied them
selves with wives from this Island before
going to Pitcairn, and two Of the women
who accompanied the mutlneers, returned
in the transports to the place Of their birth.

lives is Aesriihed ns almost udirrous.
We regret to hear, that the state Of
things at Otaheite was fully as bad, if not
worse, than at New Xeaand. The inhabit-
ants of many of the Friendly islands were
at war with one another, and the feelings
of the peuceahle inhabitants of Pitcairn
Island cannot he easi!y described; in fact

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.

The Washington correspondent OF the
New York Wing, makes the following re-
marks on the course pursued by Mr.. Ad-
ans, relative to striking out the approprla-
ton for the French mission:
After Il short speech from Mr.. Archer,
Chairman of the Committee on Foreign
Relations, Mr.. Adams rose amid cries Of
" queston-question but in a moment
engaged the fixed attention of the House
for near an hour.
He was familiar with the subject. He
commended earnestly, aud captivaled those
whose cause he was pleading. What think
We? Why, he was, in truth, vindlcatlng
his own policy while administering the gov
eminent; policy for which be was assail-
ed, abused, and defeated and yet, without
changing, he now stood forth to advocate
the same policy in his successor, so far as
regarded the application Of the funds appro-
priated for foreign intercourse.
He became very earnest in sustaining
the rights and powers of the Executive, and
threw the Jealous Jacksonmen into an &C.
stacy of good feeling. As he was doing
all THE. comparison of the abilities OF the
speaker W it'll those Of his successor in the
Presidency, forced itself on the minds of
many; the one in the full vigor of his great
intellect, the other in his dotage: the one
an entire honest man, eschewing party mo-
tives and en;Is, and holding fast to his own
settled convictions the other no honester
than he should he, swayed by vehement
party feelings, and practising in the teeth of
the opinions and professions which brought
him into office, to the exclusion of man
mmcasurably his superior in every thing
important to the character of Statesman.

WAsHINGroS, May s


Mr.. Clay has made another and strong in
vocation, to-day, to the Senate, to take up
some one of the three great subjects which
at this moment, so strongly agltate the
country, from one end to the other. He
stated that it was expected that the subjects
of the Tariff, the Public Lands and the
Bank, would be considered before the close
of the session. He expressed his apprehen-
sion that it would be found impossible 10
keep Congress together during the hot
weather, and suggested that each House
mould take up one Of the great subjects, SO
as TO prevent both Houses from being engag-
ed at the same time, on the same subjects.
AS soon as the Houston business shall be
terminated. the House will take up the Ia
riff or the Bank question. The difficulty of
selection between the two is so great, that
it is impossible to tell which effort will be
successful. The enemies OF the Bank, in
order to throw that question over, will sus-
tain motion to take up the Tariff.
