AFFAIRS IN JAMAIcA.-At meeting
of the Council at Kingston, the Attorney
General referred to the probable con-
dition of the estates in the island when
the cholera shall have disappeared =
He said il was well known that the havoc
that disease was making was among the
laboring class of the population, and
that several estates are at this present
moment without laborers; the cotton
cultivation will fail for want of labor;
and, to instil confidence in the minds OF
the public, he would at very early day
move that message be sent to his Ex-
cellency the Governor, to make an ap-
plication to the Home Government for
African laborers to supply the dePoPu-
lated estates: he meant those Africans
who were captured from slavers, and
are at the depot in Sierra Leone.

SECOND DISPATCH.

The California mail, which came
by the Ohio, was sent to New York
for distribution. She had between
three and four hundred passengers,
$50 of whom arrived here this fore
noon.
The Ohio was greatly damaged.
Three iron hogs and braces were
the only thing which prevented her
from warping asunder. The !urni-
ture and everything valuable aboard,
was smashed to pieces. The occa-
sion is represented as one of the
most irving; she lay long time per-
fectIy unmanageable. with the waves
dashing over her with fearful rapid
ity; the timbers were Strengthened
and cracking in such an alarming
manner as TO lead to peaceful appre'
tensions that she would part. Some
OF the passengers who have roughed
many a gale, say it was the Sc
verest storm they ever experienced
She is damaged to the amount o
thirty thousand dollars, and goes in
to drv dock here for repairs.

The future peace Of the country viii depend upon the

These have already become pledge Of the fidelity Of
the several States to each other The objections which
have been made to these measures in different sections
