WEST DfEs.---On the iss of August
 will commence the grand experiment of re- leasing the black population of the entire
 British islands from slavery. The result
 of few years will go far to testfh experi- ment of their capacity for self government and seif-reiance. ii IS our earnest hone that 1t may be successful, for although the beneficial results of the St. Domingo eman- cipations are worse than doubtful. it does not follow as a certain consequence that they may not be more delicious in the Brit l ish islands.
 The qualifications of the British act of parliament, for the liberation of slaves, we are not particularly informed of. One of tits provisions, however, seems to be, that during the period of their apprenticeship or seni-servitnde, the power of infiicting cor iporeai punishment upon them is taken away 1 from masters and conferred upon iile Irlaqis- trates. In reference to this subject, the Barbadian of the 29th utifno remarks "Near as the st of August is, we think that proprietors would rejoice at this plan being at once the law-but with the slaves generally we apprehend the alteration Is un- palatable. They seem to dread this change of authority. We have heard of one res-. peetahle proprietor having explained to the slaves under lis charge the approaching change efssgys.e;;''i;; and on his proposing to them to give up at once the power Of punish ing them himself,and referring them, when they one and all expressed their aversionto being complained of before a magistrate, and begged him to continue to exercise his own authority, and contiue to punish them in his own way. if they offended. The time is coming when justice, tardy justice, will he done 10 the general character of the slave proprietors."

pusar yolce who were.not nresalsned to en- ieftain a preference for some prominent individual already ID nomination.
 The settled policy of the Opposition, if we may judge from she tone of their leading journals, contelnpIates the preservation of a thorough non-committal on the subject of the Presidential succession, until they have fairly measured their strength with the sup porters of the Administration, and oyer borne them, if possible, in the approaching Congressional elections. Snccess in this point would supersede the necessity of a concentration on theif part; as they might then scatter their votes among thirty indi- ylduals, and yet be sure that inc ultimate issue (being left to the decision of the House of Representatives) could not be materially adverse to them. If, however, the elections of the present. year should in sure the return of House iayora5te 10 the candidate of the Naitonal Convention, we presume that an efior viii then be made to concentrate the votes of the Opposition on some single candidate, though its stout ly (and with show, at least, of reason) affirmed by the Administration prlnts, that the "Whigso respectively of Massachusetts, of Ohio, of Yirginias and of South Caroli- na. can never be brought to unite with that cordiaity which is requisite to victory on any one individual, whoever he may be, and whatever his opinions and qualfica- lions. Time only can test the corrections of this presumption.

A REMARKABLE DIscovERy.-A man in Salem, Washington county, Ohio, en- gagged in hewing our mill stone, having broken off the upper surface of the stone, three inches and half, discovered several holes, in a straight line, across the stone, having every appearance of being drilled for the purpose of setting wedges to break the stone. In one of the holes was part of wedge. Two tin plates of iron had first been put into the hole, and the wedge was driven in between them, and was bro- ken off. The plates and the wedge were in state of preservation, having rusted but little. These holes and the wedge were three inches and half from the surface, the stone apparently having grown over them. The stone was perfectly solid, excepting these holes, and the upper surface was of t5a same nature and hardness with other parts of the stone.
 The stone was dug out of the side of a steep hill and was covered by two or three feet of dirt washed from the hill above.
 QUERY :-Who put the wedge there and when ?-The wedge remains in the stone and may be seen by any person who will take the pains to call at the mill in the place where it was discovered. Cincinnati Jcur.

 Weeks paas.--Infrinity keeps him in his chamber. ifs walks are limited 10 the small space between his easy chair and his bed. His swollen limbs are wrapt in Gan- nels. His sight is failing-his ears refuse their duty, and his cup Is but half filled, since otherwise, his shaking hand cannot carry 1t to his shrunis lips, without spi!ing it's contents. His powers are weakeaed-- his faculties are blunted-h strength lost.

 Hours pass.--The taper grows dinner and dimmer-the machinery moves vet more and more slowly--the sands are fewer as they measure the allotted span. The motion of those about him is unheeded or becomes a sexation. Each fresh inquiry after his bealih is knell.

CHOLERA AT RANDOLPH We have the most distressing accounts of the ravages of this disease at Randolph, a little town on the Mississippi, with q population less than 400. 4 gentleman who arrived in town day before yesterday. gises fine anbstapce of the fnllpwing information. Ii may be relied on as correct, as he IS one of the oldest and most respectable citizens of Ran dolph; and is known to PYeral individuals in this place as q man f veracity. The cholera first broke out ol a boat lying at the landing, and soon eKtended amongst the citizens. i3a attacks were exceed ingly violent, and almoit universally fatal in from five to ten bolrs. It was with great difficulty that coins, even of the coarsest material, could ee procured to bu- " the dead-so sudden md fatal were the attacks. Our informant states that Mir. k. s. Latham, editor of the Randolph Record CT, had been removed td the country, and that he had assisted in making a coffin fol one of the boys attached to the printing of flee the day before he left. This intelli. gence is confirmed by tie failure of the Recorder to reach this office al the usua tune. The citizens with one accord haG Jeff the town. Our informant was unable to state the number of deaths which had ta ken place, though he did hot think it amount ed to as many as rumor had reported; whicl was forty, or upwards.

STEAM-BoATs IN THE WEsT.-An off, cial copy of steam boats on the Western waters on the lst of January 1884, gives the whole number 234, whose aggregate amount of toaage is equal to 39,0o0 tons. They have cost $3, ,00e, ,0e0-th the total an- nual expenses of running them is $4,500,- 000- 66 boats went est of service during 183l-'32 and B. Of these:-15 were abandoned as unfit for service, were lost by ice; l5 were burned 24 were snagged, and ) were destroyed by other boats. Thus 5l boats were lost by accidents.
 The investment in these boats are now decidedly unproftable-the business is over- done-and though of inealealable adyan- tage to the valley of the Mississippi, they are too often the ruin of their owners.
