five hundred nor more than thousand dollars, and

THe BLACKS At JAMAIcA.--A letter to the Albany
Argus dated at Havana, February 10th, givesa more
full account than have before received Of the in
surrection among the blacks at Jamaica:
"The blacks made an attack ON the white inhaLi
tants, Who with the garrison, were driven out and
sought refuge in nall fort. How many were killed
was not stated The Governor Of ST. Jsgo having
received this information, has called Gov. VALDEZ
Captain General of Cuba, for sufficient land and
naval force to prevent the Jamaica negroes from land
ing on this island and he has immediately despatched
three hundred and fifty cavalry, and tomorrow the
feet consisting Of frigate, two sloops Of war and
two war Steamers "a with thousand troops from
this place to St. Jago.
Should the ffee English negroes succeed in get
ting on this island it impossible to say what will be
the result a. they can easily lay waste the interior
and put to death all the whites out of the cities
have been much In the interior, and visited many
estates and wonder at the insecurity Of the whites
They seem to appfehend no danger, when by signal
thousand blacks could be marched within mile, in
ten minutes and all armed with the long knives used
to cut sugar Why they should be excited to in
surec'ion, ! cannot conceive. A more happy and
contentsd community have never seen from $50 to
400 estate and really not doing half the work o.
one of farmers in harvest. In their tusiest work
ing seasons gang of hands work one hour and lay
by TWO hours. They have abundance to eat and most
comfortable quarters. The negroes all look happy
and contented; at night, until 9 o'clock, they make
the welkin ring with their songs and laughter; in
deed have often wished some Of my felow-citizens
had az many comforts"

SPARKS THAT MAY KINDLE.
THE scHor.AR's INHERITANCE.

Not gold and gems mot meadows and pastures
fat aocks and waving grain not deeds, bonds, mort
cages and stocks-such things seldom fall to the
scholars lot If he have matched cottage, shady
elm, musical brook, a maple dish, with his books
and clear mind, he may well be content, and deem
himself rich withal Often is he poorer than this
hut weighs not scanfy wardrobe ard tne uncertain
meal in comparison with knowledge. Yet is the
scholar heir to worthier inheritance, measured out
by no metes and bounds, weighed in no earthly bal
ances and Of value assignahle by no ordinary cal
culus It embraces every pebble every spre grass
every flashing wave, the depths Of the sea, the
ems of the earth-it compasses the circuit Of the
stars, and he weighs and measures them as his right
full possessions. Wherever aught may be known,
there is his realm. Every thought, feeling act of
man, in the long reach Of his history, past and to
come, is his. The spirits of earth and air his;
the soul of the flower and the demon of the mine the
invisible agencies of the wind, and the melodies of
the spheres. With reverent awe he passes into the
society Of celestial herarchies not stranger, hut
as one of them. Lowly and humble in his temper,
the shining laws and orders of the universe his,
as he is duly subject to them. The unseen messen-
gers tina pass to and fro between heaven and earth
visit him too, in his meekness and integrity
To this Inheritance he is always welcome. In the
regions Of thought no one will hinder his entrance
There, are no hiring clauses, no wrts of ejectment
Nature receives her child heartily, and with good
cheer. The heart Of the world is open to him who
carries true heart within him. Science throws
open all her stores to him who would enjoy them his
own rudeness only, and want of skill, detain him
from the complete fruition.
This inheritance is everlasting His title to 1t lies
in no bond nor lease, but deep in his own immortal
being. No earthly law can divest it, no ordinance of
princes abate its WORTH nothing but his own recreancy
and baseness He who made the eye for light, made
also the soul for truta; and the sight of the soul
which fails not through age, is evidence that the per-
ception shall hereafter grow clearer forever

prepared and fully intended to set out the follow
