JAMAIcA-EFFEcTs OF SUDDEN EMANclPA
TON in the British house of lords, June, 10th,
Lord Brougham presented petition from the
Judges and bar in Jamaica, complaining of the
distressed state of that island. Though he
agreed with some of the allegations Of the petit
TONERS, he had already stated that he should not
support their petition, but he thought it hia
duty to call the attention of the house to the
subject, which was one of great Importance
The noble lord then read the petition. Earl
Grey protested against that part OF the petition
which declared that The effect Of the measures Of
1916 and l84S had been an increase in the slave
trade. The bishop of Oxford, on the other
hand, asserted that the effect Of those measures
had been large increase in that traffic.
Similar petitions having been presented from
the island of Antigua and the Mauriius, and
from British Guiana, the Earl of Derby said
that he had received not petition, but memo
rial from clergymen Of all denominations in
Jamaica, bearing witness not only TO the dis
tress which prevailed in the colony, but also to
the barbarism into which large proportion of
the colored community were rapidly relapsng
In his opinion, the only effectual remedy for
colonial distress would be to stop the progress
of the reduction in the differental duties on
sugar, for, in spite Of the assertion of Lord
Grey, he believed that it was not possible to
produce suger by free labor to compete on equal
terms with slave labor At the same time he
confessed that he entertained great doubt
whether the public mind of this country was
prepared to sacrifice the economic interests
which might be involved In such proposition.

Wildrick, N j., J. A. Woodward, s. G..
We have no more suitable comments upon
this vote to add than the following extract,
which concludes very able and effective speech
delivered by Breckenridge of Kentucky, in OPP
position to this appropriation.
"To sum up my reasons for opposing both the
increased bounty to the Collins line, and the
whole system as heretofore pursued by the gov
eminent:
lat. Because the contractors have failed to
fulfil the stipnlations of their contracts, and have
not constructed vessels capable Of being con
verted "at the least possible cost into rstc,a So
war steamers"
I'd. Because there has been no examination
into the affairs of the Collins line by any officer
of the government; and therefore no proof of
prudent management and unavoidable loss.
Sd. Because, from the nature of the system,
there is great danger that the contracts, being
necessarily so large, will be awarded to in.
dividuals or companies whose personal or po-
litcal influence will shield them from strict &C.
countability.
4th. Because no partnership between the
government and individuals, resulting from OK.
press contract, and formed for the acquisition of
common profits, should be encouraged.
9th. Because the system is in the highest de
gree pernicous to the commercial enterprise of
the country, by giving an unnatural and conse-
quently Improbable direction to all commercial
interests.
9th. Because the bounties furnished by the
government to these steamships enables them
to compete successfully with private individuals
in the transportation Of passengers and freight,
and finally, to force all others to abandon the
routes a. il the case between New York and
New Orleans, and Havana and others,

RccSc's Hedicai Ga-ctte gives cure for
scalds and burns, the knowledge of which,
for humauItY's sake, should be as widely
known to the people as 1t is to the medical
profession. 1t says; d" In any case of burn
or scad, however extensive, the acute
sulerlngs of the patient may be at once
and permanently relieved, and that in a
moment Of time, by spriukling over the in
ured surface thick layer of wheat flour,
by the hand, or, what is better, by dredg-
ng-boX Every vestige OF pain produced
by such injuries is instantly removed, and
the sufferer not only escapes the shock to
the nervous system accompanying such tor
ture, but will generally fall into quiet sleep
the moment the atmospheric temperature is
thus excluted from the wounds. Multitudes
are annually perishIng by scalds IN steam
boats, and from burns by camPhene, spirit
gas, aud otherwise, nearly all OF whom
might be saved from fatal result if this
simple practice were adopted Immediately
after such accidents We hope that every
individual will remember this remedy, and
adopt II when occasion requires"
