British West Indies.-The editors of the Nor
folk Beacon have received ST. Vincent papers
to the 10Th, and Barbados to the 10th uls.
These papers contain the details of the I'M
happy disturbances in the colony of British
Guiana. The evidences exhibited in the late
trial Of the desperadoes, prove that the Colony
was on the brink of ruin. The ringleaders
have been severely handled. "One has been
sentenced to suffer death; three to transporta-
ton, and all the torments consequent on it: and
of the others, two have been condemned to re-
ceive 200 lashes EACH and many more one
months imprisonment and $50 lashesn
The Barbados Globe of the 9th Oct. from
which we have made the above quotation, then
adds" These examples ought to be sufficient
TO prove to the apprenticed laborers in every
colony the folly Of refusing to perform the small
norton of labor which is required of them by
law. and convince them that they car derive
nothing from illegal opposition but misery and
ruin"
The colonies are in a very unsettled state;
and rigorous measures must be resOrted TO, be-
fore a season of lasting tranquility be restored.
II appears that the measles had broken out
in Barbados, and proved very fatal to adults.
The papers contain further details of the late
hurricane at Dominica.

TRIAL OF RICHMOND, THE MAIL RoBBER-ht
the present term of the United States CIRCUIT
Court, sitting in Baltimore, Joseph Richmond was
tried and convicted on a charge Of robbing the
mail. Judges Duvall and Glenn were on the
bench, and the case was conducted on the part
of the government by N. Williams, ESQ. District
Attorney. We derive the following particulars
of the case from the Patriot:
Richmond was the Deputy Postmaster at
MddIetown in Frederick county, where his ia
Their was the Principal. He was arrested in
April last, at the instance of George Pitt Esq.
an active and energetic agent of the Post Office
Department, upon discovery effected by the
agent, that he had taken money out OF letters
passing through that office.
II had been ascertained that money, transmit
ted by letters coming on the routes which inclu-
ded this office, had been occasionally missing
for some months. Proceedings to detect the
guilty party had been instituted, as long ago as
January last. But counterfeit notes having been
chiefly relied on, he escaped for few weeks
At length measures were so skilfully contrived
by the Agent, that the discovery became certain
and expeditions.
In the course of nine months there were up
wards of $4,000 missing. Richmond confessed
that he had stolen about $500; and there is no
doubt he had taken the whole, although he may
have forgotten some OF the parcels he ndu
learned the trade of a tailor, and was in the
practice of quilting the Bank Notes into his
coat. He was choice in the notes which he re-
served; sometimes taking out what he esteemed
better, and replacing them with such as he
thought were less current. He also moderated
bis plumbers at times, by taking part Of the mo-
ney in letter, then altering the contents so as
to correspond with the residue which was for
warded in the letter to its appropriate address.
Between the time Of Richmond's first arrest
and his surrender by his bail, which was two or
three days, he states that he burnt all the money
in his possession, which was about $ll00. All
the money which has been saved is only $3.50
that he had lent or deposited.
The indictment preferred against him con-
tanned seren counts, and described separate
sums, which had been distracted at different
| times.
On being arraigned, he plead GUILTY to all
the counts and the Court sentenced him to Ten
Years Imprisonment in the Penitentiary.
Richmond is t,1enty-one years of age, OF good
appearance, had before acquired fair charac-
ter and standing, and was, at the time of his ar
rest, engaged to be married to an estimable wo-
man. But cupidty and seeming opportunity,
tempted him to hazard all-and all has been
lost

There seems to be no limit to the degra-

WASHINGTON Cry, Oct. Z, 1884.
Sir-On the receipt of the memorial OF the ci-
tizens of New Orleans, respecting the reductlon
of the daily to a tri-weekly' mail, between Mo-
bile and that city, it was referred to the Post
master general whose report on the subject l
have the pleasure to enclose.
You will perceive that the Post master Gene
raj cannot be Justly blamed for this reduction
His plan of retrenchment would have brought
the expenditures of the department within its re-
venues i'm the course of a short period, without
touching the arrangements then existing for the
transportation OF the mail, if Congress had
granted the moderate loan applied for at the
last session. This application having been re-
fused by the majority the Senate, the depart
mentwas ofcourse obliged to take the stepswhlch
were in itspower, from its own resources TO meet
the demands against it.
In the discharge ofthis duty there has been
necessary reduction in the accommodations TO
the city of New Orleans; il would seem that no
blame therefore can be properly ascribed to him,
but to the majority of the Senate, among whom
is found the Senators ofyour State, who withheld
the appropriation which would have prevented
the reduction.

tack upon the American Judiciary. Now, those
who do not follow the Globe through all its tortu-
