From JAMAICA,-Our advces from Jamaica are
to the 9Th instant. The intelligence is interesting
The eX- Emperor of Hayti, Soulouque, who is still
in Kingston, had published a protest against the
acts of President Getfrard. The Assembly had re-
peaed the prohibition of foreign molasses into the
island. Great interest was being made to secure
the recall of Governor Darling, and it was said
with success. Sir William Trcvyllian and the Hon.
Edward Jordon, c. b. the ex-Premier Of Jamaica,
and principal editor of the Morning Journal, were
respectively named as his probable successor The
House of Assembly had appropriated Gl000 for tie
reception of Prince Alfred. The religious revivas
had reached Kingston, and were having disastrous
effect on trade. The census is to be taken on the
! 9th of May.

From New GRANADA.-We have later advces
via New York, from the interior of New Granada
Mosquera's cause continues to triumph. He has
been corresponding with President Ospina, with
the intention of settling the differences between
them without the further ef'nsion of blood There
is no likelihood, however, that Ospina will accede
to General Mosqueras ultimatum, but will continue
the contest till one or the other party succeeds.
Two more victories to the liberal cause are an
nounced. One is the capture of the city Of Ocana,
in Magdalena, near the Venezuelan frontier the
other was at Carriage, where some of Ospina' Is
forces were repulsed with great loss. Fears are
still entertained at Panama that Nieto may invade
the Tsthmus, and the question of declaring that
province Independent, under foreign protector
ate, was again occupying public attention.

We understand that q few evenings ago, about
dusk, robbery was effected in the St. Louis Hotel,
for its well-planned and daring nature
two different rooms at different ends of hall,
being entered, and out of five trunks the two con-
tanning money and jowelry having been broken
open and robbed. The trunks were the property
of three ladies who arrived by the steamer Cahaw-
ba, from Havana, on Thursday, and were given
these two rooms. Their baggage consisted Of five
trunks, in two of which they had one $500 and
three $500 bills on the Havana Bank $500 in Span
ish doubloons, and about $500 or $500 worth of
jewelry wrapped in bag and hid among some
clothing. After dinner the ladies walked out, and
returned to the hotel at dark going up to their
rooms about O'Clock, when they at once dscoy-
cred that the two trunks containing their money
and iewelry had been broken open, and that it was
all taken. The police were at once notified, but
they have been unable to obtain any clue to the
thief. They believe that the whole thing was
planned in Havana, or on board the steamer and
that every movement of the ladies has been watch
ed since, the first opportunity for committing The
robbery having been successfully seized.

COWHlDlNG A CHURCH

Mr.. VIM. Cook celebrated yesterday by getting
boozy, early in the day, and by visiting the African
Baptist Church. at the corner of Cedar and Cypress
streets, First District Mr. Cook had probably been
reading the reports of the snake-and-nigger con
troversy between Dr. Cartwright ana Lawyer
NAPLES, before the Academy of Sciences.
The lawyers argument, in reference to the mag
netic relation between the white man and the Mig
ger is, that whilst the white is not always posi-
tive to the niger or the ngger negative to the
white man, the white man and the whip together
always have positive magnetic influence to which
the Niger never fails to succumb
1t was probably for the purpose of testing this
theory of q the white man and the whip" that MIR.
Cook yesterday visited the colored church afore-
mentioned, where he, with his cowhide, being
minority of one, might chivalrousy test the thing
with an African maj jority of several hundred, old
and young, male and female. Mr.. CooE entered
the church in violent and audacious manner,
switching cowhidc in the air, tickling the shins
of some Of the colored brethren, and kicking up
the mischief generally. He ordered the preacher
to leave the pulpit, took his station the female
side of the house, and began preaching sermon
of his own, accompanying his oratory with brisk
decorations of the atmosphere by his cowhde.
How far GO the white man and the whip would
have verified Lawyer Waples' theory, in face of
| the pious and somewhat infurated majority against
him, it is impossible to surmise for, under that
wholesome municipal wisdom which provides the
city with an institution known as % the police
and wisely distributes the same, officer Penuel was
in front of the church to that all things went
right.
The uproar of the darkeys in the church salts
flying Penuel that something was wrong, he went
in, and proved one thing beyond what Mr.. NAPLES
has as yet argued, namely, that if white man and
whip be positive to the niger, policeman with
out whip can sometimes be positive to white
man with q whip. Mr.. Cook, we have only to state
was calaboosed. Mr.. Cook got sober in the after
noon, and laughed to think what a stew he had
cooked up for himself.

The Veto Power.

The Alta endeavors to make hero of Governor
Downcy on account Of his frequent exercise Of
The Veto power. If The basis Of the reasoning
Of that paper be correct it would follow that
Gov. Downcy should be made Supreme Ruler oil
the State, for according to the sycophantic prais-
cs bestowed upon him for purpose, all the wis
dom and purity Of the State centers in John u.
Downcy. The people are foolish enough each
wear to elect men to represent them in the Leg
;sl,turc when it is we'll known that Downey is
more wise than those chosen hy the people. more
honest aud more trustworthy. Wnat avails it
that some of the best talent in San Francisco
rrnresents the city in the Legislature? Downeys
talent is far superior. Downey is immaculate;
anil thoIgh Il majority OF one hundred and fifteen
members Of the Legislature are always wrong,
Downey IS always right. Senator'S. Representa-
tives an all the rest Of common men arc falli-
bic. but Downey is inl,lible. The general aver
age Of mankind may err do err. commit wrongs
and blunders but Downey never errs. never COM
mts blundcrs. The King can do no wrong"
neither can Downcy. according to the reasoning
of our sycophantic cotemporary. We would
suggest to our cotemporary that it takes immedi-
ate steps for conterrng more honors on the OBJ
ject of its alteration. He has been cannonaded
to an enormous extent; we now suggest that he
be canonized The man who is in himself the
embodiment OF all the public virtue and intelli-
gcnce Of the State is certainly entitled to have
his name inscribed on the roll of saints ''Saint
Downey" sounds we'll; and not to he outdone by
our contemporary in so praseworthy y labor as
that of heaping praise upon deserving man.
we hereby propose to the proper authorities for
the honor of santship the name OF John G.. Down
cy. Seriously. we recognize in Nh Downey a
conscientious public officer, who aims to do right;
but we do earnestly protest against the tulsome
adulaton and sycophaniic praise heAped upon
him by one or two Journals 1t is sickening: and
if the Object of it aims to do right for the sake OF
right. he must be absolutely dsgusel with it.
