could we'll make him. There is a law which Is
very sharp upon black men, particularly when
they seek redress for injuries inflicted upon
them by white men, bat very slow to see when
Inspectors of Police disgrace themselves the
force, and the country that gives them employ

the East will no doubt take the hint that when
a white Oyerseer fractures their skull, if they

STEAM CoAsTING SERVICE.
Mr.. Sidney Levien and Mr.. Henry Ford ere
both devoting attention to the establishment OF
q Steam Coasting Service. The proposition is
to form a Limited Liability Company which
will buy in at a valuation all the drogheTs now
~ooasting, and with the steam service by a board
of Directors which will protect the droghing
interest and prevent destructive competition,
The absence Of small steamers is greatly toit
on the coast and renders travelling extremely
expensive in the country. Under able manage
ment and a little unity of interest the scheme
could not fail TO prove a success both for drogh-
ing purposes and the tugging Of sailing craft
in and out of port.
THE WEST INDIA CABLE.

India and Panama Telegraph Company arri-

PUBLIC ADJUSTMENTS.
The Holland Dramatic Company have arrived
from St. Thomas, and will commence q series
of entertainments in the Theatre Royal.
To say anything of Mr.. Holland and
Miss Efie Johns, after what the colo
nists, and almost all our West India friends,
have themselves seen and heard, would be
superhuOus; it is quite sufficient to say here
that they have arrived in Jamaica, and that
the unbounded flow of success which attended
every one of their performances last year, will
attend them likewise on this occasion in the
new pieces with which they are to instruct
and enliven this Colony. We are to have
the NEW MAGDALEN' put on the boards.
