Accounts from Jamaica state that it is probable
a revolution will soon take place with view TO
overthrow the despotism which exists under Pre-
sident Boyer, in Hayti.
A gentleman who has visited the latter island
informs us that the Government, though nominal
ly a republic, is in reality military and despoic.
There is Senate chosen for six years, we
think, by general suffrange; but the people must
choose the Senators out of list Of double the
number, which list is selected by the President,
who holds his own Office for life.
Notwithstanding this advantage possessed by
the President, the Senate has shown somewhat
refractory disposition towards him, in which feel
ing great majority of the people participate.
President Boyer has become enormously
wealthy, by his salary, his trade. and his exer-
tons. His chief adviser is Inginac, Secretary OF
State, who came near being assassinated some )
years since. Boyer and Ingnac are both mulat-
toes, majority of the public officers, while
majority of the people are blacks The blacks
are the most discontinued with the Government.
When Ingnac appears or horseback in public, he
mas two black men accompanying him, one on
each sde either as oappear to favor the blacks
with his confidence, or to deter that class from
shooting at him, lest they should kill of theil
own complexion instead of the object Of thei
Ihate.-PeHnSyraniun.

Jew DaviA's OK Hebrew Plastey

THE peculiarities ofthis Chemical Compound,
are owing TO its extraordinary effects, upon the
animal fibre or nerves, ligaments and muscles,
its virtues being carried by them TO the immed-
ate seat of disease of pain and weakness.
However good any internal remedy may be,
this as an external application, will prove pow
erful auxiliary, in removing the disease and faci-
litating the cure, in cases OF Local Inflammation,
Scrofuous affections, Kings Evil, Govt, Inham-
matory, and Chronic rheumatism, and in all Cd.
ses where seated pain or weakness exists.

virtue Of the Hebrew Plaster, highly appreciate,

tons having proved unavailing, ] was induced

From the Lexington Gazette.

g6-Mr. Brownlow, the Editor of the Jones'
boro' (Tennessee) Wing is at present at Nash
vile, whence he transmits accounts of thepro-
ceedings of the Legislature for the columns OF
his spirited paper. Among other matters in
the last paper, he reports the speech of one
Mr.. Drew, of Maury, which contains rare
collection of sparkling gems of fancy. Here
is an extract from it, some remarkable portions
of which we have placed in italics
''Sir, would have gentlemen of the dominant
party TO understand that Democrats are not to be
deferred from the defence of John Tyler, if they
think him worthy of support. He was not our
candidate, but theirs. But, Sir, he is native of
the old Dominion, the land of Tom Jefferson, of
Madison, of the immortal Washngton-the land
of Presidents, and the birth place of the fathers
of Democrats. Mr.. Speaker, when1 speak of the
Father of his country, do it with feeling emo
tons of my soul. Alas! is there any gentleman
present who does not chill up at the mention Of his
as If he ,0ere shiu'ring among the eternal
here. / repeat that John Tyler descended from
pure stock-yes, Sir, from the noble band5 Pill
grim Fathers who landed before my day, or your
day. on the Plymouth Rock, IN OM P,rginia.-
And there, Mr.. Speaker, to this day that Old Rock
rearsits proud front, as one Of The glorious monu-
mems Of the old DOminiOn.'
We learn from the reporter that, at this stage
| of the remarks of Mr.. Drew, of Maury, the audi
ence interrupted him with loud outcries, whether
| of applause or condemnation is not stated, al
| though the words $50 it, Drew" were particular
| ly audible. The speaker proceeded, doubtless
under the impression that lie was achieving un.
precedented riumphs in the oratorcal line, but we
regret that our limits do not permit MS to entertain
our readers with the remainder his brilliant eff
| fort.
After Mr.. Drew had concluded his speech, an
other gentleman arose, and observed that he
would like to hear little more from the gentle
man who had just taken his seat relative to the
geographical location Of sold Plymouth Rock
MIR. Drew replied, that Rock is where you no
] never have been, and that is sufficient; and i
not, Sir, repeat it is in the old Dominion, com
monty called the STATE of Pirginia." (Scream
and yells.)

THE MARY ROGERS MYSTERY.

We have had communicated to us, says the
Sunday morning News, a statement which, if it
be predicated facts will tend in all probability
to solution of the dreadful mystery which en-
shrouds the fate of the unfortunate Mary Rogers.
A young man named Palmer, or Parmele, resi-
!, dent of Williamsburg, who was known to be very
intimate with Miss Rogers, about the time of her
death, absented himself and has remained absent
till few days since, when he made his appear
ance. Upon being questioned, his answers were
evasive, contradictory and unsatisfactory. A
statement of these facts was communicated to the
Mayor. The suspected party has again absented
himself, though the most vigilant measures have
been adopted to his arrest, he remains still
at large and no trace of his whereabouts has been
discovered.

WoMAN.-We find in Judge Kent's sentence of
Peter Kane, for stabbing and killing woman,
the following remarks:
"Prisoner, your life is safe, but in sending you
to the State Prison, the Court will mark their
sense of your dreadful conduct; and il not pun
shed to the full extent the law allows, it is by
reason of the good character you had previously
sustained. To your wife you indebted for a
mitigation Of your punishment. Her conduct on
this occasion has excited the admiration of the
Court-she seems to have been to you as guar
dian angel pursuing you, whose conduct was
more like that of beast of prey than a human
being, and striving by every means in her power
to save you from sin and guilt"
There are very few evils to which man is
subjected that he might not avoid If he would
confer more with his wife and follow her advice.
Few qualifications are melted out to him, which
he does not owe in part TO woman: no pleasure
perhaps which she does not heighten by her par

A HINT TO GENTLEMEN, FROM A LADY.

A PARODY ON COwPER
0 for lodge in some vast Wilderness,
Some boundess continuity of shade,
Where rumor of L0eofocos and of Vhsys,
OF unsuccessful or successful candidates,
or yctos, and of banks, might never reach mo
more.
My ear is panied; my soul is sick
With every days report of wrong and outrage
(which politicians talk.
Some think the natural bond
OF Whiggry, in Washington, is severed.
There is no flesh in politicians hearts;
They do not feel for men.
They find their brothers guilty Of opinions
Not i'm accordance with their own, and for such
cause,
Doom and devote them as their country's
enemy.
Men, differing in opinion, abhor each other,
And make enemies Of those, whose souls had else
Like kindred drops, been mingled into one.
Thus Whigs and Tories devote their brethren,
and destroy.
And what man, knowing this,
Does not blush and hang his head,
10 think himself a politician?

the lighter and more attractive, in some respects,
at the Exchange Hotel in Richmond. The adj

practical portions, and humorous and happy in
its illusions TO the part taken by the ladies'
There was surprising display Of fine animas
and agricultural implements--and an unsurpas-
sed array of fruits and flowers, and handiwork Of
the fair arzans who lent their aid to give interest
to the occasion. The members Of the Society
dined together at the Exchange on Thursday, and
a new impulse seems to have been given TO the
primary employment of man by the result Of the
two meetings already held.-Td. Free Press.
