Interesting from Honduras, OUR BELIZE CORRESPONDENCE. {By the Grand Turk, at Pensacola.) Beuize, Hon duras, July 3, 1852. Important Movement of the British Muthoritiee—Approprie- tion of the Honduras Islands—The Establishment of the Colomy of the Bay Islands—The Mahogany Trede—Iis Tthis took a stroll through the town of Belize, in order to ree the town, its inhabitants, and to learn something of their manners, habits, and customs. My ‘Siret visit was to the court house, where, conspicuous on a large black board in front of that building, I founds Toyal proclamation, by which I learnt that it had pleased ‘Her Royal Highness to erect the islands of Ruatan, Bonae- Utilla, Barbarat, and two others, into a colony, under name and style of the “Colony of the Bay Islands.” send you e copy of the document. Here it is:— PROCLAMATION! This is to give notics that Her Most Gracious Majesty, the een, bas been pleased to constitute and m: ¢ islands Ruatan, Bonacca, Utills, Barbarat, Helene, and Morat, near. & be known and designated as “The Colony dof Her Majesty’ Superintendent, 'S FREDERIC RE, Aci Go Colonial Sec, God save the Queen! Colonial Secretary's Office, June 17, 1852, Belize, British Honduras. Alongside of this I saw a list of imports, and conspicu- ‘ous amid the entries of a large number of English vessels, whose cargoes were all set forth, and described as rum, brandy, wine, soap, bricks, hay, rope, gin, ale, porter, sugar plums, sweetmeats, hats, shoes, walking canes, beads, gilt jewelry, &c.. &¢., I saw “American schooner Grand Turk, to supercargo, Yankee Notions.” This Jooked strange to me, as Thad been on board of the vessel, and saw, and had heard, that she had provisions on board. LTimmediately deferred my visit of examination of the ‘town, and went to the store of her consignee, and in- quired what she had on board. He immediately put in my hands the manifest of her cargo, which was flour, “bread, lard, rice. hams, sugar, wine, gin, bricks, tobacco, candles, coffee, vinegar, cheese, champagne, and raisins. I afterwards, on several occasions, while conversing with some of the most wealthy merchants and citizens, re- ferred to the entry of provisions on the Grand Turk, and learned that the person who posted these entries was his Excellency’s Private Sccretary, who was actingas Colo pial Secretary during the absence of Mr. Berkley. Iam glad to add, also, that all united in the opinion that Frederick Augustus Gore, who is now the acting Secreta- ry, was a very young man. He stands about five feet nine inches high in his boots, is very slim, has a very nose, long, shaggy hair; wears a pair of white cotton brogans, a white cap, white jacket and white trowsers. suppose thinks that England and her colonies are, par excellence, the world. * Well, vot of it ?”” The great effort of the settlement of Belize is to cut y and dyewoods. A few persons are engaged in fishing for turtle; but that business is mostly in the bands of old men and their families. The articles of rarsaparilla, cochineal and indigo, are all produced in the interior, by Spanish or Indian labor. On a careful survey of the business of mahogany cutting, I am pre- ‘to say that. in a few years, unless new bounds are found where that tree grows. it must become very scarce and high. as it is now all cut out of the dctual boun- deries of Belize. nearly all cut out im the States of Yucatan and Honduras and also on what is called the Mosquito Territory, this side of Cape Gracios a Dios. Of course 1 mean large wood, from twelve to twenty incher. in situations where it can be got out. I may also mention that some persons are now trucking wood from 8 distance which requires two days to get it to the water side, which will not pay. even at the high prices at which that wood is now selling. During the present year, every effort has been made and all the labor the country brought inte operation, in order to get out ten million feet; but, from ail I can learn, the quantit, which will actually be got out will not exceed, if it wi reach. six millions. Much wood has been sold, at forty and fifty dollars, on contract, during the early part of this year; but at this time a cargo cannot be bought at $100 per M., owing to the wood still being up the rivers, Wailing the usual fioods As it has commenced raining, the wood will probably soon be out, which will be a great relief {o the cutters here, who have about twenty lange Vessels now waiting fur cargoes. Very little of the wood cut will get to your market, owing to the system you pursue in weasuring; as I informed that your mea- surement is far less than Belize, while at this measure- ment the government cflicers seize the wood, as under- measured, or fine the parties who ship. Great complaints are made (and, ip my opinion, justly, too) by the shippers here—for why should they be compelled to pay duty on more than they sell. 1f the system pursued by govern- ment is correct, why not sell the wood by that measure- ment? Why compel the shipper to pay double duty, or a fine. when his wood is actually measured ten to twenty- five per cent less than the measurement by which he is compelled to sell bis wood ? This matter may not be interesting to the general reader, but is of importance to our commerce, as several American vesscis have been obliged to leave here in bal. last, when they might have found treights had not thesé differences existed in the seles und custom house mea- eurement. Another serious--I ought to say fatal—drawback tothe entire mmterest of this settlement, is the abolition of sla- very ‘There are laborers enough—but then they are freemen, and bave no inclination.and cannot be compelled, to work. A great number of these live idle and useless lives—an impudent. insolent race--and never better pleased than when they can exultingly show their inde- pendence. It is no longer a question, but settled by ac- tual demonstration, that Great Britain has not benefited her slave population by paying for their freedom; while ebe bas entirely ruined alt her West India possessions by that measuve. And among those who have had expe- eis nota doubt in their minds er iriends or foes to the institu. admit that the negro race, » be their own masters I am happy to say, that the public of Belize have made some progress in the cause of education. by a recent act, in mat hy they have formed a Board of Education, and in- stituted a system of public education somewhat similar to the one in New York. The children of Belize are ‘already beginning to feel its iufluence; already there are six large and severel small echools in this town, and some have been oprned, and others are to be opened in other Places on the coast and in the settlements. Belize was formerly the point of all mercantile ope rations in the southern part of the State of Yucatan, and ‘elso the mart which received the merchandise for the Btates of Central Ame: but lately the merchandise for those places has found its way direct. This may be ascribed to the advancement of ‘the age: but is un- doubtedly in part owing to unwire legislation, andto the obstacies thrown in the way of the merchants by the of- gcials here. : At present a very limited and not over safe business is done with Honduras and Guatamala; and on the whole, there are no appearances of prosperity in the town. Everything appears dull, and aside from the public build- inge and stores of the merchants and traders, all seem to be going to erchants are ambitious, ven- turecome and enterprising; and show a great amount of energy in pushing their mahogany cutting operations inall quarters, and deserve success—for the tame capital, attention, talent, and energy in any business, in any of the United States, would be sure to succeed, In fact, this ix the only paying possession Great Britain has in the West Indies. I will now add that the inhabitants of Ruatan are not ali pleased with the proclamation. and that a report is in circulation that the commandant of Truxillo and Omoa is about to attempt to take possession of the idands fur the State of Honduras, to whom they un- doubtedly belong. If true, it will hardly amount to any thing more than a protest, as that State is not able, if be go to eject the British from these islands. hear of nothing important from the Musquito coast, Central America. or Yucatan. Business here is Mart dull, and provisions I hear cannot be sold in any quanti- ties, for what they cost in the United States.

Included in the various subjects for your consideration.’ I would also earnestly ask your at- tention to the numerous cases of personal violence and rowdyism. which have of late occurred; attended often with painful consequences. There can be no doubt that thie evil has reached to such a degree, that personal se- curity has become much impaired, and personal safety much endangered. It is the emphatic duty of magistrates and courts, by energetic action herein, to enforce the laws. Your special consideration is invoked to this subject. ‘These aggressions, in most of the cases, may be traced to the, vices of drunkenness, gambling. and debauchery. Few are the cases in which the accused do not offer as an ex- cuse, that they were intoxicated when the act was com- mitted. The vice of drunkenness is no doubt an incen- tive in many instances to these and other crimes; and: in this city, |in many cases, the administers of the poison are as culpable as the aggressors thentselves. if not more so, He then, as required by statute, charged them on the subject of the lottery, election and gaming laws, and observed that they were authorized to inquire into eny violation or dereliction of duty on the part of any public officer, or magistrate.

STEAM ENGINES—THE HENRY CLAY CALAMITY. Upon this subject lis Honor said—You are also autho- rized and required to inquire into the condition and manner of using locomotive and other steam-engines, railroads, and steamboats. The numerous accidents which occur in the employment of thom, and the dread- ful consequences which follow, make manifest the ex- treme necessity of this exercise of your authority. Rare, indeed, is the day which is not attended with fome one or more of these casualties and their melan- choly results—the awful death of one or more persons, by the employment of these mighty engines of human use or convenience, Alas! by inattention, unskilfal or wanton carelessness, rendered too often the instruments of destruction. death, and intenre misery.

A law of this State exists, deciar- ing the act of creating. or allowing to be created, an un- due or unsafe quantity of steam, for the purpose of ex- celling any other boat in speed, or for the purpoze of in- creasing the speed of such boat, a misdemeanor. All violations of this law within the county, it is your duty to inquire into, And it falls within your powers to inquire into any violations of reasonable and proper care, not only in the construction and arrangement and main- tainance of steam vesscls, steam engines, railroads and lo- comotives. employed within the county, in safe condition, but in the employmont of engineers, brakemen, "tendors, at the switches or turn outs of railroads. and other officers aving authority in the direction or control, partially, subordinately, or otherwise, in the use of these various in- struments,and into all those things the want of compe- tency as to which endangers personal security or life.

[Objected to.—Mr. Blunt said he would show that they came to- gether by appointment. The point was not ruled upon Witners then went back, and found O’Brien crouch in under the stairs leading to the area; the first thit O'Brien said was, “You die now,’ and snapped a pistol which did no go off; Ihad a bung starter in ny kann and tried to keep the muzzle of the pistol off; he snapped it two or three times as I retreated, and I struck against the gitl, or somebody, and the candle went out; he sent the boy for the police, and he stood at the top of the stairs to prevent O'Brien escaping; but somehow he got up the stairs, and crying, “Are you there, Fagan?” let go the pistol at him, some of the powder went in his face; he felt, and found he was not bleeding. and went out for the police ; the police came and found O’Brien, who had gone out at the rear into the next yard; a double barrelled pistol was found there ; he afterwards, with The officers, found a ball in a panel of the door, just over the place where witnese’ head was at the time of the discharge ; did not know O’Brien was coming that night ; he had threatened, or made allusion, often before to poison or shoot him ; thought the last threat was in January of this year, when he came into witness’ place intoxicated. and wanted to Sty ; he said witness ought to be shot or poisoned, and if his brother was here he would do it.

Direct resumed—He was always sanering the place, and policemen have been sent for to him away twenty timer. To Mr. Phillipp—He was generally intoxicated when he made the threate; I cannot tell whether he was the night he fired the pistol; the only occasion I ever took a pistol to him was on the election night. when he was there making sueb a noise I had to shut up the house.

Mr. Rollins proved the check was a forgery. and Mr Beardsley, the payingjteller, proved its presentation at the Rank by the prisoner. For the defenec, it was eoutended that the prisoner was an innocent instrument in the hands of the resily guilty parties, It was,on the other band proved, in order to show the guilty knowledge, that he had in April last presented one also forged. on the Bank of North America.

Spencer applied for a suspension of judgment, toenable him to move to set aside the verdict, on the ground that there had been no court uil the time. [The Aldermen had both left the bench before this trial com- menced.} The District Attorney said he would like to bave the point settled ; first, because he didn't think there was anything in it—secondly. because it would bea les. son to Aldermen, and thirdly. to counsel, who take such an unprofessional objection without doing so at first. Mr. Spencer defended his position, Judgment suspended accordingly. PLEADED GUILTY=-FALSE PRETENCES, John J, Russell, who was lately brought from Pennsyl- vanin, on a requisition. charged with obtaining goods from Messrs, Van Buren & Jagger, of Liberty street, pleaded guilty, and the District Attorney requested the plea might be recorded, and judgment suspended till the com- plainants could be sworn.
