We therefore hope matters will oo on favourably : at the same time, I fear the negroes will have immediate freedom more at heart than religious or moral instruction ; we are daily giving them greater indulgence, e;leti proprietor appears to be doing all in his power to make his people comfortable and happy; laws may be made after, but improvement will proceed faster under the inclination; of the owners. With me and others, no work is required on we allow the negroes sufficient time to cultivate provisions on the week days : we have, therefore, great difficulty in' keeping them from travelling abroad on Sunday. 'lf we had churches within our reach, it would require time and perseverance to induce them to attend. At some future period that will be accomplished. Those who are well acquaintedwith ibe island runsl see the condition of the negroes is improving rapidly, and as fast as can be done with safety to the colony : the whip and other practices will vanish of course; its use, hitherto, has been from necessity, not inclination. We hope at no diatiat period we may be able to convince the people of England that. we do not deserve the character they have lately given' us : if Mr. Wilberforce could be brought here to look on with his own eyes, he would see that on most estates the indulgence and comforts granted to the slaves would satisfy him. until they are better prepared for further. I wish he could only,'see the situation of the slaves compared with the labourers of a Palish in England with their poor. Freedom would be very desirable when they are fit to receive it, but that must be a long-time hence : a change of great magnitude must take place before the will be capable of providing for themselves. Whenthat period arrives the cultivation of sugar will cease, and the West Indian colonies will be abandoned by the white inhabitants. I have not heard of any improper conduct amongst the black population since the affair of Pembroke and that neighbourhood ; I therefore hope we shall get on smoothly for some time."— ( Times.) KEAN performed the part- of Sir' Giles Overreach at the Dublin Theatre on Monday last. Hemet with considerable opposition at the commencement of the'petform ante ; but the tumult gradually subsided, and in the end he was much applauded, and called forth when the curtain fell. In his' address to the audience he complimented Irish generosity. The pit was full, but the boxes were -thinly attended. A MONSTER, who took his trial a few: weeks since, for the murder of his father, underwent the dread laser tence of the law on the 17th ult. at Amiens. The merit was a young man, not twenty-five years of age. He was sealed in a cart, his back turned to the horses, his hair cut off, his feet bare, and his neck and shoulders also free frOrn clothing, with the exception of a black thick veil that Oyercd him to the waist, as a man unworthy to: behold the light of Heaven--he was supported by two. petsons. When he had mounted the scaffold., his right hand, which till that moment had been tied behind his back, was lo.oseriefl ; it was placed on a block, and the executioner, striking, at the wrist with an axe, missed his aim, and only separate 4 tiro or three fingers. The wretched culprit screamed with--paii and terror; a second blow was struck, and the haw' .thatlllo de. prived a father of life fell mutilated among the erotict. The piercing cries of the parricide were terrifie; they,didOfriease till the ponderous knife, falling upon his neck, -left aotbsiiit but a headless trunk.  -~~
