LATE FROM JAMAICA The packet ship Orbit, cap
tain Meach from Kingston, Jamaica, brings us files
ofthe Despatch, and letter from our correspondent
dated the 18th ut.
Speaking of the prospects of the Island, the Des-
patch says will be necessary that some salutary
laws and regulations be at once adopted and being
adopted, strictly enforced, prevent the land tenn
ing with unfortunate creatures, who will now be
thrown on the BE- unity Of the afluent and charitable
in their age; Also in regard to the apprentices with
their vague notions ofliberty and true blessings, Of
which it fears many of them will scarcely be able TO
appreciate Ofits present state, it says:
SAT this time men are sent forth rule over as,
who do with cruel injustice towards the planter,
and then turn round and revile and strive defame
in the eyes of our fellow subjects in Britain and
keep island in continual agitation. We have been
already unjusty deprircd Of eur rights and pro-
pertY. If however il desired, considered adyi
sable TO shorten the apprenticeship let the surplus
! million or two of the Compensation Loan be dvld-
ed and let US have farther pretended compensation
| SAY f5 sterling for each apprentice and great as
will be the loss, yet had better put up with than
| to be scandalzed and abused, without the power Of
defending ourselves by kypocriticol cantng fellows
with their false notens prejudced opinions, and pre-
tended philanthropy"
| The caendar this court, exhibits more than ord-
nary list Of crime and offences

what will be found in the Despatch

BALL AT PATERsoN.-A splendid ball will be gwen
at the Passac Hotel, Paterson, on Thursday evening.
In the morning, the ladies, arrayed as nymphs and
naiads, wander over the beautiful groves and climb
the picturesque crags of the Falls-in the evening
| they wander through the mazes of the cotiion and
waltz and climb the picturesque crags of the soul,
or look over the dizzy precipces of the human
heart.
