NATIONS-FUNERAL OF TOM
SAVERS.
LONnoS, saturday Nov. Is, 1865.
The newspapers Of Friday yesterday
are filed with entire pages Of the de-
tails Of the terrible insurrection IN Ia-
maica. II seems 20 have been a prema-
ture outbreak. and il il had not occurred,
or the conspiracy otherwise been brought
70 light, at Christmas the whole white
p0pu alton was 70 have been swept from
the island, and not only the white, but
the mulatto, so that jet black sam DO
could have reigned supreme Gordon,
who planned the insurrsction, was a
black man OF mark-a Baptist preacher,
member Of the Provincial Parliament,
eX-AIagis-rate- The plans Of massacre
were found I'm his handwriting, and he
was hanged accordingly. Several other
preachers, mostly Bapusts, were impli-
Gated in the plot, and their chapels seem
70 have been the centres Of the conspir-
acy.
All this comes very hard to British
philanthropy generally. sir Morton
Peto, who must be pretty wen known

a few days ago YOU viii have copied, has
written % the Times 10 defend the Bap-
fists, being himself Of that communion,
but the facts, as they now appear, are
rather hard % get over; bat Mr.. Spur
geon NAV Ice able 10 make it all right at
the Tabernacle tomorrow. The truth is,
that the negro carries his social
aud political. ideas into his religion
with more consistency than the
whites. The more rude, simple OF savage
men NAV be. the more they identify
Rars, conspiracies, rebelliOus, or what
ever they do under strong impulses, with
religion You need not 70 70 the West
Indies for examples and the black men

find a near relation Of the King Of DahO-
mev. / DO not see that EHglishmen hear
this process Of scratching better than
others. In the Indian muUiny, and now
In Jamaica, revenge has not waited for
Justice.
But we are not at the end Of this busi-
uess. and something must be determined
upon. There are about thirteen thousand
white inhabitants % three hundred and
forty-six thousand blacks, and some
eighty thousand cOlored. The life Of the
white man Is not safe, without an active
police and a strong military force-tn en-
ergetic and despOtic government Either
that must be organized for all the British
West Indies, or the whites must abandon
their possessions aud give them up TO the
great barbaric negro empire, thai may be

American regions.
Stephens, the great and mysterious
Fepian leader. has been captured in hls
own house, where he was living in the
most elegant and luxurious style, under
the name Of Herbert, two miles from
Dublin. Mrs. Stephens, having plenty
Of money, would 90 shopping. The
Detectives, who had her carte de gtste,
had only to follow her home, and get the
reward Of ten thousand dollars for cap
turing her husband. He is sweA dressed,
well behaved, fine looking, bald headed
man Of forty, and quite tie hnest speci-
rfien Of q Fenian that has yet been ar
5.sted. He had plenty ofmoney, and some
arms. which he had no opportunity
of using. In fact the only arms used 80
far are one or two pistols, fired at two
uoliceneu in the street, one Of whom Is
seriously wounded But u the Govern

found in this lzxurOus residence Of the
Fenian leader or Nice-President, stacks
