The border of (Ilia dreig is ornamented in a very curious and novsl manner. A rouleau of satin, iu a pointed wave, runs across the bottom, about five or six inches above the hem, and over thin rouleau are laid antique or naunents, repieseniing spears' heads, to each of which is affixed a ring handle.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT. THE country has been reaping all the advantages and experiencing some of u>o disadvantages, of a aiild tint;A moilt winter; many of the filter way be yet to come, among which, the most to be dreaded, is a cold unjeninl spring. Wheat sow- ing, upon backward and wet soils, was certainly protracted out the opinion that a ic, than USBHI was put itito the gronud, conies Irom | few quarters, and is not <:f general eonsrquence j ou the contrary, there is at least a comparatively active spii it of exertion io the country, ecrou. raged and kept aiive, no (IIMJIJI, by rising tjjar- kefs and never-failing demand; and the greater ,(I file -renfer pwts_bd i I J ¡, I!;a I 1If) J 1I,'fj, htlH:r of wheZl t- o". j tog, in tlie autumn, will' be made pood in the spring or more especially, '-should tha weatbrr coDtinutt open.

There being no impediment from froat, drain- age aad digsmg have gout oil freely, and to an extent not altogether usual of late years, The early sown wheats, on dry lands, look most beautiful, and exhibit a strong plant j but, perhaps, without that rankness and winter-pride which similar seasons have produced. On the wet lands, and particularly where waier-fnrr wing has been neglected or insuffi- ciently performed, they are weak, and hav. inf hut a si'ght hold at rhe root, in case of frost, would be i., danger. Few sfjisnus have made a finer show of winter tares, and the culture has been considerably ex. tensive. At!-green T-eta'inn is flourishing. ql)c.h great agricniterRl favooi-ites 111 former days, seems te- i vivuig io some of the eastern counties. | Tttrnips, on t'heir eppropriate dr., soils are a sufficient crop nil IIIMB ks. favourable, they nr rnuniiig away-: aiut far from imparling nou- it, are tile tot, which iiiaban. by, occasion heavy looses.

The straw-yard, in course, co«mct«'e>l very | Is'e, to tha vast saving of hay stoi cattls are doing well on the fodder, the quautity of which has exceeded expectation. 'I Rsjt'er Is considerably affected by 'he inferior qIJali!} or the haj, aud" the necesg:riIJ,inGffiHed use of Mnnips. Potatoes, perhaps, do not equal etpcctafion, ei'her in quantity or quality, bein2 much speekrrt and affected by the variable weather in spring and summer.

Tlie price, «ve» of the inferior kinds of horses, has advanced the superioi'ftte worth any money ('at ran he auked. As the cousurnption proceeds, the inferior parent and great complaints are heard of the as coarse and unproductive. Vast quan- tifies, however, of ihe best of these wheals, of the two last crops, are in the hands of'specula- Irrs; Hnrl which, should the pmpitioiii, will come upon the market. The labourers, more generally, find employ. meet, but at wages certainly not adequate to the prices of provisions. Where regular em- ploymenl (Ijllnot be found for them, their situa- tion is sincerely to be commiserated. On the whole, times are greatly improved — wheat at a considerable price, Peel's guineas in plenty; no need of hoarding corn, thence little or mvne for the country bankers' privilege. The crot) of bread corn is said to have failed in the Peninsula, and in sont, parts of Italy but ihera is.plenty of wheat iii F'anf,e and the neighbouring coun- tries, ai a far less price than would purchase it hi this country.

& STATE OF THE WEST INDIES. IT would appear that the West INDIA Pip.rsters are terribly alarmed at the proceedings Which j took place last Sessions in oar Ilowse of Com- mOiH. respecting the future amelioration of the (if slave;; it) (lie WegI The planters ham had, and particularly of late | good causa for (lot only for the safety of their property but their lives. It on its being known to the uegroes that something further, ou the part of the Government of this country, was for their further relief irow the egetiis of slavery, or eventual emancipation. Certainly, if we were n negro, and in a state I of slavery, we should leap (cr jn). jf wc heard that we were either to have, or were >* tually in possension of our freedom, which, beyond all things, is a passion implanted in us the nexs thing we should think of would bc property, and if we couid fairly get into possession, or only in part possession of our mastar's estates, we should I not have any more objection to be so situated 'ban Messrs. Hunt, Cobbetr, or others of th- Radicals of England, WouJd ,Q gj,are the or the funded property of Lord Ba.hurst, ur of Me.srs.

Propose this to us, Gentisuieo, and propose at the same nme, to tax the peopic of the United to meet this ju»l demand oil our part; a»d thsu, Gentlemen, you will be able to judge whether JOHN Bucr, be ilS philanthropic as he as told you lor so many years past that ho has been." We are disposed to think that if the planters were to address Mr. Canning and the rest of the philanthropists, they wjuld soon iiletice (he liit. let, at vall as put a stop to most of (he literary clamour which has been so fashionable in this I' country for so long a period. That the planters have a right to be indemni fied for whatever losses May accrue to then in const-qnence of our Legislative enactments for I the benftit of the negroes, there cau be no ques- tion, They are as much entitled to snch compen- sation the owners of the houses which were pulled down in order to open a grand street from Carlton Palace to the New-road; aud if Messrs, Wilberforce, Bnxton, Canniug, and others, be as just in a pecuniary as we will oppose them to he in a philanthropic respect, they ought to set the example of retnaneratipg the planters by putting down large stilus out of theirown pockets, as the (-oil, of a subscription on the part of all those who were philanthropically disposed. And, after Messrs. Canning and Co. had laid down their hundreds of thousands of pounds out of their own pockets, then we would recommend them to fax all Ihe Dissenters of England, who first originated the idea of Clack emancipation. \Vc would not care for the chagrin of the Dissenters— we would (mind, however, after setting 'he example,) get the money out of their pockets for 1 lie purpose of remunerating these planteis and if the Dissenters would not pay willingly what we would levy on them, we would order the Board of Taxes to seod rouod their familiars—the Surveyors, so as to squeeze the Dissenters as much as they could be squeezed. If they would be so very philan- thropic, they should pay for their philaothropy. They shouid not be philanthropic at the eX-I lienee of the West India Planters. Every one must allow that it would be highly desirable to h, in" about sueb a state of things, fiS that in ai! parts ol the world b'ack men should '1 be as free as white men ,• for Providence, we should imagine, designed 'hat a ffiao, thongh, his colour be black, should have as much right to be free as a man whose-colour is white; yat as the planters hive had possession of their esta'ca and negroes for so long a {IHind, if their property in 'hem be taken from them by any set of o:<"n, the latter should at least remunerate them for their loq hnd this argument more particularly Bp: plies to England, a country which is so eter- nally boastinsg of its ¡¡r¡ru!¡lIra!, msnufac- commercial, ;wd financial prosperity,— If Kogiiiiu! thought pioper I:: spend •and millions to prevent ib# French from wclcng us t hair lives in the of (1 COR GE the Ti! t tin, surely she could afford -to par; wilh a few mil lions In Ill" West India planters, to pnrc!1g,e from them the freedom of their Black slaves 1,,c if 11.)t place between Mr, Canning aud the other phi-, lai.tllropist* and the West India plasters, ths former must not be angry with ;tje latter, when if) iheir spsi-ches (.'11 a question, which, in thptr at affect th* existence of their property, <hey should he ("!J¡>¡¡ by file Well Llii,-t risets, and hypocrite

.1 11 JAMNICA. 1 II THE following parts of evidenaa are utracterl from the trial of the ltiqurgents in Der!lrara. (From the Jamaica Royal Gazelle of Saturday, Dec. 20, iSi'3 ;-— The prilIncr Jark was the second leader of I the rebellion, his fititier, Qutnici, of Success, being the Chief. Dumfries, a negro of plastation Success, stated that about two or throe mouths before this rebel- Bon, I first heard from Jack, and his lather Qua mina, that Joe Simpson had informed tlieui of their freedom having tome out, and that, if the white people would not give it to them, he (Joe Simpson) would shew them how to fight for it.- About a week before (he revolt, I heard a little boy named Edward bring a message from Mr. Hamilton. the manager of plantations Le Resou- venir, to Jack, say ing that the negroes were fools if they did not seek theirown rights 5 (heir free- dom had come, and if they wanted atsistance to fight for it, he (Nir. Hauailioti) would give tbesm guns. Almllt one month before this, Jack and Qua- mina sent Smart and myself to plantation Rome (up the river), to tell a mall of that estaie, that if their people heard any thing of" plot on the East Coast, 10 fight for their freedom the ne- groes must join, or at least, they most not help the white men. The man at Itome replied, that the business was too much liiirried for, if he had time, he would send into the bush, aud get a rciaforcewtnt from there, He said it would he better to wait two or three mntfihs. I aea a Coromantte, and the man 1 spoke to is my countryman. His name I believe is Qtiatiiina. I am a regular attendant at chapel, heill a mmher or 1he church. On the Sunday before (hi, business I was at morning service, and aw Jack (here. The first I saw of him 011 Monday was in the cooper's shop at Success, where his father Quattiina was endeavouring to prevent him from commencing the war but J,¡ck said, -1 N-o, the time has passed already." When the manager tied Quamina and Jack on rh. Monday afternoon, I saw them sent away, and, after they had got released and came back, the disturbance beran. Active, belonging to some plantation, stated, I saw Cafo, the frea man, in Jack'. house ou the fttate, about two weeks bufore 'he rebellion.- Caui said to Jack, Joe Simpson was at my house Oil Saturday, and informed me that every thing concerning the Freedom and intended re- bellion was true." T'ley breikfasfed at Jack's tl()tise, ai)(I I saw Cato eviiie out laugliii)g, and said to Jack, '• You aie too cowardly you see flings plaiu before you, all-I won't seek for ic. Jack made no ifll8wer, and Cato went away. I heaid Jack telling his father Qtiaraina, that Mr. Hamilton had told his housekeeper that if Jack would come to hityi he should know all that was to come out for the negroes. That was two Sun- daHaftr the rebellion. The week before that Jack had asked me to go with him to town, and we went to the Gover- iior% yard, where we saw Daniel, the Governor's ssivaiit. Jack and him stood together about halt iit> hour, but I did not hear their conversa- t'oit. Jack and Daniel read a Bible together, and alrer staying at the latier's house a little longer, Jack and myself came otr. and went to nisrkei, I was in Jack's house oi the estate the same night that Paris was there. I heard Pari. say he knew the way to get in(t) the fort. Jack told luni if he ioierfered with the fort the troops would minder him and all of us. Paris replied it was the only mode fo proceed, for any other would he of 0") use. J-clc Reed, oi plantation Dockfonr, stated, that uboiit eight weeks ago, st chapel, I saw the prisoner Jack and his father Quamina the lat. ter called me to him, and when I went up to tlv-m, Jack said that Dr. M'Turk had dined with Mr. C sirniaina, where the first gentleman had said he did not know what had made the King so foolish and partial to the slaves; it would be better to c've them three days in the week than wish to free them. Quamina then asked me jf I had heard any thin§ strange up along. I re- I)Iie(l, I- N(, He said, 11 AFk Jack." Jack then fold me that his brother Daniel, the Gover- nors servant, had sent to call him on purpose to tell him that it was really true about our free- d on. I said, Ask Jack if he has read the pa- i)ers said, •'No, that Daniel had seen ;heni, and told them all (he circututtances, but he had forgot, to ask for » copy." The second Sunday after that I saw hira again, when he asked me if I had received a letter, and on tny replying no, h« said he would write me another but said, Now come aside, and I'll tell you a little news. The manager of Port Estaie has lately 3aid fo 0 negro who was being li >gg»'d, What, hec:Hi9p. j()1J are to be freed,loll to w(,rk.' What, say you to that ?" I replied, I am very glad of it." 1 11, tell left J ielc, and (!)'' r.'ymsi day, after chapel servict-, had some Conversation on the subject, but have not seen Jack since that day. A mulatto lad, named Isaac, stated, I had gone away from Hay master in town, and stayed at plantation Success, where I knew the prisoner Jack, who (igVe(I t-ie t(i write a letter fo r, him on S-.ind.vy the 17 th instant. I did so and it was to H ;},ljlll uauied Jacky Reed. Quamina was at ark" ¡¡"tI<;e when 1 wrote it. The letter stated that jacky Reed must tell all the negroes to get ready for Monday night, to set the cane pieces 00 fire -he had a brother in town, who was searching to fimi out the truth that they must take it by force if 1,4iore was a man to put fire to the powder hou>e. cl ;Niy (leir *Ijicliy-f hope this will find you all well, as I write to yon concerning our dis- course. I hope you willdt) according to your promise this is written by desire of Jaek Gled- s'ance and all the brothers of Aethal Chapel ? we shall begin at the Thomas Estate, and hope JOIJ will try your best up the coast." When I read this letter, not approving of it, 1 was about to tear it up, but reflecting that the brothers of the Chapet were mentioned in it.- I wrote a not,! to Parson Smith, enclosing the one I had received from Jack. My letter to Mr. Smith was to inquire the meaning of Jack's note, and I got an answer from the Parson about nine o'clock ou illonday iiight, the 18th August, as follows Monday evming, seusn o'clock.. To. Jacliy Ree(l. I have received your note, but too late to make inquiry. I heard yesterday of somè schemt but without asking any questions I begged them to he qaiei; aoyviolenl mealiures are contrary to the religion we possess—so, I advise you to J liave nothing to do with it,/ Your's for Christ's sake, J. S." Cuamin, of Nabaclis, states that the prisoner Jack was at chapel Oil Sunday, 17th August, and I afterwards saw him amongst other of the mid- itle dam of Success, where I heard Jack say our freedom had come out, but the white people we're hiding it, so all of us most put down our working tools. Mingo, of plantation Nabaclis, states—I was at Church (he Sunday before the rebellion began Jack was there, and afterwards at Success middle dm, where collected all 'he negroes, telling them they must rise that same night the people said it aitist. he put off till next evening; Jack sa d that be would begin to put Ihe while men in ihe stocks on all the estates up to it must now go on. The meeting then broke nn A negro, named Quamina, of Nabaclis, t0]<i j that the negroes in Barbadoes had ris^n jn th mine manner,, and too many of tbeci {,ad *lu'" "5tet,! Mr. James Keane states—I Waii mn_„ Moa Repos on Monday ni^ni, ,he 18th ot*\V pst, when an assembly of „egroeg |oofc before the house four oversesrs were will, «. and we had V.x or eight stand of arms, and « J of pistols-, with plenty of ammunition. We had determined to defend the house. We took oltr position in the gallery, and sent Louis and Mi- d'Ly,, two Of ()I)r negroes, to demand what they wanted; they came bark and said the people gave no direct answer, but that they would work 110 more; they added, they would not speak to ,Ame in the house, but wanted me on the data I warned them not to attack the house, as I was perfectly prepared, and that I had resolved to defend ourselves. Some of them cal!ed out to shoot, but J said no, I shall not be in a hurry till compelled to do so. In the mean time I had sent a letter to W. Corf. The messenger was stopped and turned back with it, and ibe boy told me that many hundreds of negroes were col- lected between the bridge and the centre of the estate; an armed party soon advanced, and some rushed under the house, others surrounded it on I every side. I cautioned some who had gained the first landing step not to come farther, or I should fire. I Four shots were fired into the front of the house, one of which passed quite close, and nearly stunned me, I then fired, and uiy over- seers and one of tny coopers assisted me in ksep. ii>2T op the fire. The negroes returned it fre- seers and one of my coopers assisted me in keep. ill,7 up the fire. The negroes returned it fre- quently, and continued doing so for nearly twen- ty minutes. I shot two of thete going to the mess house to get fuel fo set fire to the dwel- ling-house, and wounded several others. I shoulti suppose the party had amongst them about fifty stand of arms, but we heat them off. Next morning about three or four bundled armed ne- groes were in sight of the house, and sent again I" demand our arms, but we refused, and about seven o'clock the military appeared and dis- persed them. DEFENCE. About seven or eight weeks before this rebsl- lion Cato, a free man, mentioned to my (aiher, Quamina, something sbout our freedom having come oat. On funher inquiry we heard from Joe Simpson that it was true Mr. Wilberforce wa* doing his best tor us, and that if we would wait patiently, a new Government was coming out, and if he did not give us our lights, we must aIJPly to him, and he would inform us of the re- gul-r way to get it. I went soon afterwards to my friend Daniel, the Governor's servant, to Icaro what he knew aboat the matter. He said he had heard a little of it, and if it was a thing GOD ordained for us, it would be; but we ought to have a little pa- tiance. York, a negro of our estate told me that he had heard air overseer of plantation New Orange, Nassau, say that all the great men at home wauted us tn: be free, but our masters would not agree to it. About a week before t spoke to Daniel, a coloured woman, named 811- sanuah, Mr. Hamilton's housekeeper, said to we" at chapel, that Mr. H. told we were all to have our freedom, but he did lint thiuk it would be given to us unleiiii some sensible people went by force about it, and exacted a positive promise from the Governor. I asked her what she meant by force. She said we should take ali the es- tate's arms, and, as soon as we had got posses- sion of them, then turn all Ihe whites off the town. From that period until Sunday, the 17th of Augest, no regular plan was laid. My father, Quamina, went that day to Parson Smith, who told him we must try to stop a little until be would get a paper that was to be read to us. I have lived all mJ life upon Success" my master's estate, where I was born thirty years ago, and where I have been always well treated, and done my duty content and happy.- I cannot, and do not, deny that I have been con- cerned in this rebellion but I declare solemnly tbat I would not have acted thus had I uot been toid that we were entitled to our freedom, and that it was withheld from us by ou,- UIaSIr.- Not only was every Deacon and Member 0| ,<t0 Church acquainted with it before it broke ou/ but even Parson Smith knew ihe whole p a,, It was toid him by my father and Brisu, Sunday, the h th of August. Br.sml c« tell you the parson wauted us to wait. From tha hour 1 wag made prisoner by Capt. M'Turk »>» to this time, I have receiver! ii» iet-eivea the most humane treatment from all the whites nor have 1 bad a single insulting expression from any whit- man. either in prison or any where else. Lie. for this Court I solemnly avow that mam of the lessons and other parts of tha Scriptures', gele,t. ed for us in Bethel Chapel, tended to make us, dissatisfied with our situation as slaves, aud had there been no Methodists ou the East Coasr, there would have been no revolt. Those deep- est in' the rebellion were the peopla in Parson Smith's confidence. The half-sort of itistructious we received I now see was highly improper, it Put. those who could read a little on examining the Bihle, and selecting'passages applicable to our own situation as slaves, and served to make us dissatisfied with our owuers, a. we were not cTJiam8^ ni8^ T ttl8 real" ««ninff of Passages.
