laughter, without any sufficiently exciting
cause and by transient travellers through

been most enormously ascribed to good tenn

liable to sudden Inflammation from the innu-

market place, where full play is given to tenn

familiar to our readers. "Such gesticulations,
such pantomime, such roll of unintelligible
phrases, making it difficult TO recognise our

He describes the character of this race. as al

| ia dark colors. 1t is compound, according
to him, of mischief and cruelty. The negro
groom delights in tormenting the horses under
his charge-the negro mother ia merciless to
her children-and the children, in turn. are sa'
vagely cruel to dogs, cats, birds, and every
thing else over which they can tyrannise with
| impunity. A major of regiment stationed in
Demerala, told the author that he was obliged
to keep parties Of soldiers continually employ
ed to prevent negro mothers from beating thei
children to death.
Such are the fruits of false philanthropy ir

We have received the June No. of Black
wood, from Messrs. Nash e. Woodhouse. The
article In il which strikes us with most force, is
review Of Days Five Years Residence in
the West Indies" This book, we suspect, is
destined TO create powerful sensation in Eng
land. II is the narrative Of a man evidently Of
keen observation, whohas spent FIVE years ofhis
life in the British West India Colonies, and
who is, therefore, better able to draw an accu-
rate picture Of their condition, than any of
those book makers who have visited them for
the purpose Of giving rose water account
which may seA, lett produce what false i'm
pressions i may. According to the extracts
made from this work, there is not. upon the
face Of the eafth, and there never was, a coun.
Try in condition SO deplorable as are the West
India Colonies at present. By setting free all
the slaves at single dash, the Parliament OF
Crest Britain reduced the entire planting com.
munity to perjury. and, in some cases, to alb.
soluie want. The condition Of the negro, far
from being improved, il infinitely worse Than
il ever was, and dsieriorafes from day to day.

sure of viewing, on yesterday, Gibert's world re-

of agricultural labor saving machines, we must con.
fess that this FAM in its adaptation to the purpose
designed appeared to to be as near perfection a.
any thing we have ever seen. The superiority of
these fans consists frst in their great durability

they employ in cleaning all chat and litter 30 as to
render it necessary. after chatting, only to run
