FROM JAMAICA,

Accounts from this Island, (says the
New Y ork Commercial Advertiser, )con-
tinue to be any thing but favorable as
to the effects Of the gradual abolition
system recently adopted by the English
government; but the evil seems to have
assumed quite new shape and SEM
blancc. Mischief is represented now to
arise, not so much from the Incidence or
obstinacy of the manumitted slaves, as
from the vices of the white cmigrants
from England, by whom they were TO
be replaced as laborers. We copy the
following remarks on this subject, from
the Herald of the 10th inst
KINGSTON, April lot is with much
regret we have learned that the emf
grants from England have not been Sc
lectcd with any regard to the moral in
tluenco which their example is likely to
have on the black race, which they are
intended physically to control.
There are many crimes, of which the
negroes are as yet guiltless, to which
necessity and starvation have driven the
lower orders in England; and habits
once formed, are not easily reinGuished
even although the causes which created
them, have ceased to exist.
The rock which the West Indians are
likely to split on, in their endeavors to
stem the new tide of events, is the ridc
ulous supposition that Europeans can
never cultivate sugar-and if persons,
inste ad of carrying on white slave trade
under this illusion, would Mt once face
the evil by removing the natterng unc-
ton from their minds, sugar might still
be cultivated by negro free labor-the
only means by which it ever can be con
tinued as staple of these Islands.
/ Every days experience tends to con.
/ firm us in the opinion entertained by oul
contemporaries, that sugar cannot long
be continued as lucrative staple in ou
Island. Those estates which produce 9
long succession Of ratoons, and are cul
tivated at little expense, situated uear
Raiquadier, and unencumbered will
Imortgages or annuites, may be main
tanned for few years, and in the even
, OF any successful introduction of emi
: grants capable of working on suga
plantations, may continue productive
but the majority Of the old estates which
|, give only second ratoon, those wbcl
are involved in debt, those which hav,
only an animal power TO work thei
Mills, and especially those which have
long carriage to the sea side, must nn'
will be abandoned. The most sangun,

FoRGERY.-On Saturday, the 18th OF
April, note Of $1,000 purportng TO be
drawn by Richard " Smith, and endors-
ed by John Hopkins and Nathaniel Ber-
ry, was presented for discount at the Far
mers and Manufacturer Bank in this
village. The well known reputation OF
Messrs. Hopkins and Berry, who are
men of undoubted wealth and respecta-
blity, induced the cashier to do the mote
without hesitation, and The iorger escap-
cd with the spoils.
A few days after Mr.. Berry called Mt
the bank, when conversation introduc-
ed by the cashier, relative to the $500
note, led to the discovery of the forge
ry.
The officers Of the Bank commenced
an immediate pursuit Of the villain, VIII"
was finally arrested at Newburgh,
where he Just offered, and at one Of the
banks, another note like that discounted
at Poughkeepsie. A description Of the
rogue, which had been left at the New
burgh bank led to his detection. Up
wards of $500 Of the money has been
recovered.

onv thing else but the interest of individuals,
and the promotion of party views and objects?
WHY il the Post Master General continued
at tie head Of a department, after the repeat
ed exposure of facts and transactions under
his superiniendence, for which he ought to
have been impeached, and degraded by a
formal sentence ofthe Senate, unless it be on
the score of personal favoritlsm, or because
such services as he renders are necessary to
the party who rule the country? And when
such gross misconduct is disregarded by the
executive power of the government, can 1t
be matter of surprise to any person. that
advantage should be tak ken OF such pernl-
cious example in other departments, and give
rise to frauds, and every other kind Of mis-
chicvous practise.

BAPTIST CoNvENTIoN.-Th Triennial
Convention Of the Baptist Curators of
the United States, was to meet at Rich
mond, on Wednesday the Goth utimo.-
We observe by the Richmond papers,
that that city was througed with clergy
men, assembling for the occasion. The
stated Introductory Sermon, was to be
preached by the Rev. Mr.. Gone, of this
city, ~ L. Com. Adr.
The object Of this Convention, as we
learn from the American Baptist, is to
publish the Gospel to the children of the
forest in our own land, and to the inhab-
itants OF foreign lands. With their sue
cess hitherto, the public are acquainted.
From the magnitude of their object, as
well as from the circumstances Of their
mission stations, their intelligence, zeal,
and Iiberality, it is believed that the pre-
sent Convention will exert an influence
alike mighty, precious, and permanent
Stimulated by consciousness of duty
and by a desire for the salvation Of souls
the pous will pray for, and the benevo.
lent will feel and act with them, until

their ample libcrality, renders their one
rous duties easy and pleasant.
The anniversary Of the A. b. II. VI.
S., is Immediately to succeed the meet
ing Of the Convention. This Society is
prose cutting as she can, an object dear
to patriotism and TO philanthropy, She
proposes to preach the Gospel, as far as
it is practicable, to the destitute in our
country. Her responsibilities, already
great, are destined rapidly to Argument.
The destitution of moie than two thou

bered places where churches exist not,
IN the Valley of the Mississippi, and
other parts OF our land, imperiously y de-
mand an augmented responsibility. Nor
will the demand be made in vain. An
intelligent and liberal community will
speedily demonstrate, that they possess
head and heart, means and influence
sufficient to render the efforts Of this So
cioty, upon large scale permanently
useful.
To the wisdom which devises, TO the
piety which prays for, and to the gene
rosity which contributes to sustain hel
labors, the blessing of Heaven will moi
be denied. Upon her Missionaries yea
! will be seen as their every day raiment
upon her benefciaries the garments o.
praise will be continued; and upon those
who sow bountilully in her harvest field
shall be seen descending every goot
gift, and every perfect gift in thirty, six

clared that the temple of grace ant
truth, constructed on earth, reaches t.

that in consequence ofthis circumstance,

1t is thought by some that the Committee
to count the proxy votes for General Officers,
will not be able to get through in time to
make their report to-day. We doubt not the
closeness of the vote will cause unusual scru-
tiny and exactness on both sides, but we
should certainly suppose that that duty could
be as easily accomplished to-day as it was
last year, if the Conn ittee are not delay
ed too much by questions in regard to the

LATEST FROM BoGoTA We have
this morning been favored with the fol-
lowing letter, dated
BoGoTA, March 90, 1885,
We havo little news hero. The Com
gress is in session, and are proceeding
with great harmony TO regulate thazal-
fairs of this country. Their principal de-
bates at present are in relation TO the
ways and means to prevent Gen. Flores
from invading the country, and to induce
him to ratiiy the treaty of Pasto, which
settles the boundaries between New
Grenada and the Ecuador. The conven-
ton with Venezuela, in relation to the
debts of Columbia, has not yet been sub
mitted to Congress. 1t is expected TO
be laid before them about the first OF
next month.
On the 23d January last, from | o'clk.
until in the morning, a noise like The
firing of artillery and musketry, (produc-
ed by the bursting Of meteors in the sky)
was heard all over New Granada and
the Ecuador, from Santa Martha and
Carthagena to Quito. The villages
round Bogota were in arms the next, ex-
pecting that revolution had taken place,
but a few days restored tranquility. =
This natural phenomenon is equal to the
