LAEoR AND Produce IN ANTIGUA-We be-
lieve that it may be asserted with truth. that not
more thar third of those who, duriDg slave
ry, were employed in the field labor Of estates,
are now continuously occupied ia that work; or
II may be EOre correct .1 say, that no. more than
| one-th.fd Of the amount Of the manual labor
which was formerly Dedicated 10 TIE grow and
manufacture of our staples is so engaged now.
We have been told 50 by persons competent TO
Judge, and lrOni our own observations we are
convinced OF it. a great many have Withdrawn
from sugar cui walton altogether; the bows and
giils who uEed TO form the wedding and grass
gangs 0f an estate are no longer there many
work only occasionally as iaboers, when their
own independent Sc tiemants do not require Their
presence; others confine their labors to three or
four days in the week, and very few give six
days notwithstanding, however, this enor.
nous limitation IN the amount OF labor actually
applied, notwithstanding the ioleness aad th,ev.
ing p.opeasities charged against the peasaniry,
tho first {. years Of freedom, with one third
the number OF laborefs, have given at least as
large, and believe larger, average crops than
the last ten wears of slavery, with three times
the hands How is lhis iact explained. and how
does it coInp,rt with the ieayy and ablunainp
complaints which nc constantly hear And
how does it affect or bear upon the future pros.
poets OF the Island We should ike 10 sec the
subject handled by some intelligent practical
man. for really tsuggests matter for consideration
Of great Importance, and well deserving OF ma.
tare and disPassiona,e consideration. Il would
also be satisfactory, and probably useful, to see
correct and comparative statements OF the ex.
penses o. an estate during slavery and freedo:.,
for nstauce, what were the expenses OF an estate
that msdc loo hhds. curing slavery, snd What
are The expenses of the same now making the
same quantity of sugar? Such and similar in.
quifies would enlighten, and lead 10 far different
resalfs Than the mischief and III feeling which
arc created by the dosma,ism and uratu;t Gus
railing which we 50 fiequentiy hear in conversa
tons and discussions relating 10 the state Of the
Island. 1t Is certainly consolaloly to reflect.
that wha'e, er may have bsen the fate of some
other ISLANDS, the average crop Of Antigua has
not diminished slEce emancipation athou IN she
has had to strive agans: tbe disastrous effects of
an unprecedented physical evil, which he Others
IN great measure escaped. The PR csp, CT at pre-
sent Tor next year is exceedingly favorable, und
with continuance of seas1nab'e weather, and
the blessing Of God upon onc agricu ,ural exer-
tlons, the ensuing crop is likely to be large as
the present. Antigua Observer

FIENpIsH hARB4RITY OF 4 SLAVE On Monday
afternoon, his Honor the Mayor received through
the Post Office, an anonymous letter. informing
him. that there confined in house No. 50 Bay
on Road, female, the prisoner oi her slave who
for some time past had been treated in most horrid
manner. The Mayor accompanied by Recorder
Genos and some officers of the Police, Immediately
repaired to the spot designated in the letter. where
they found Mrs. Rabeneck, the lady OF the house,
with three OF her children, aged Z 4 and years.
confined in back cabinet. ull OF them in q most
horrid condition: dressed in rags, covered with dirt
and emHciated that it appeared astonishing that
they could support life.
The body OF Mrs. K. was covered with bruises
from her head TO her feet and 10 many places, show
ed marks where the Instruments OF hageaton had
broken the skin. Both OF her eyes were blackened
and her hair matted with blood The three
children presented nearly the same shocking cond
ton, the Two eldest in particular. Upon being ques
toned by the Mayor, as 10 the cause o. her cord-
ton, Mrs x. seeing that her slave Pauline was pre-
sent-answered that she had been beaten by her
husband and showed much agitation and fear,
whenever the eyes of her servant were turned upon
her Upon the servant being removed, Mrs. r.
stated thar she afraid of telling the truth in her
presence, for fear that she would kill her and her
children.
Her husband she stated, had been absent on
visit TO Missouri 70, the last x weeks, since which
time Pauline had taken possession OF her keys and
bedroom and confined herself and children IN her
(Pauiines) room, where ,hey had been beaten al
most daily by Pauline, with s;rop, and
had been furnished with barely sufficient food TO
support life Medical aid and attention were imme
dia,ely furnished by the Mayor, and the negress
Pauline arrested and committed 10 prison 10 await
an examination before Recorder Geuos.
The penalty Of the charges preferred against her,
il found guilty, under the Black Code, is death.
Ii is stated lha; the husband Of the woman had
instigatcd his slave, who also his paramour, TO
the commission OF this horrid outrage. II So We
hope he will not so unwhippcd of Justice.
