THE N 4 ——o | WHOLE NO. 8102. NEWS FROM THE WEST INDIES. Anteresting from Jamaica, the Bahamas, and the French Islands. ‘We have received advices from Kingston, Jamaica, to ‘tbe 18th ult. The uew registration and license act has, it is said, ‘worked more successfully than even the Executive Com- mittee were inclined to anticipate, In some parishes Heenses have been taken out for as many 28 2,000 horses, &c., whereas, under the old system, not more than 1,000 or 1.200 were either returned or assessed to direct taxa- tion. Taking one parish with another, it is believed that te increased number of stock on which duty has been paid this year, as compared with last year, cannot be less than two. fifths of the whole. The revenues derived from the duty on rum is, it ap- pears, very deficient, and will not reach the estimate by some thousands of pounds sterling. The statement to the effect that twenty puncheons, said to be of rum, but which turned out to be colored water, shipped for export from the island, had been seized at St. Ann’s Bay, is en- rely destitute of foundation. Nothing of the kind has oceurred, ‘The question of tye right of search is discussed at great Jength in the papers, and the forcible visitation of Amori- * ean veesels on th: high eas by British cruisers wholly condemned. At the same time it is contended that Eng- Jand, in common with other nations, has ever maintained a right to verify the nationality of a vessel, touching the Jegality of whose trade a reasonable doubt is supposed to exist. ‘The Jamaica press is deploring the backward condition ‘ef the island, and one of the papers predicts a total decay ‘ef the material and social condition of the island if some- Wing is not done towards remedying the many evils un- der which it is now laboring. A Reform Association has Deen established, the object of which is to establish a new order of things, and to redeem the country, if possible, from the utter prostration into which it is rapidly sinking. A grand festival is soon to be held, entitled ‘The People’s ‘ea Meeting,” at'which the requisite reformatory mea- sures will be proposed, discussed and inaugurated. OUR JAMAICA CORRESPONDENCE.

It is rumored here that there aro five United States ships of war at Greytown, with the object of coercing the Nica- raguen government into the ratification of tho Cats-Yris- arri treaty, and that the British men-of-war are being gent to protect the government of Nicaragua. Intelligence of the capture of a slaver off the coast of Cuba by the United States brig-of-war Dolphin has reach- ed this island, the ouly regret is that the 300 slaves can- not be sent on here to increase the number of our laboring Population instead of being returned to Africa, as we learn mmnst be the case under the federal law. We have aban- doned all hope of obtaining any more liberated Africans, ‘ag all the British cruisers employed on these waters have Deen ordered off. The gunboats have already returned to England, and the men-of war are about to proceed to the pestilential port of Greytown. Tho Buzzard,as soon as the has done the work of a troop ship, between this island and St. Lucia, will proceed to Rio Janeiro and Montevideo, and ultimately to the Pacitle station, and the Tmaum will be left to continue in the peaceful duty of protecting Port Royal us a guard ship. ‘The Legislature bas been summoned to ‘‘mect for the @osparch of business” on Tuesday, the 9th November en suing.

It is aleo supposed that the government will bring for- ward 4 bill to raise a militia for the protection of the colony. This opinion is founded upon the despatch from the Colonial Office to the Governor of Antigua, a copy of which is supposed to be in possession of the Governor of this island—in which the Secretary of State ansounces that the troops now in the West Indies will soon be alto- gether withdrawn, and calls on the Legislature of the colony to raise ‘a force to vindicate the dignity of its own laws against the outbreaks of internal dikorder.”” A copy of the Canadign militia act was laid before the Legis- lature of Jamaica last session, by direction of the Secre- of State, and it is therefore presumed that any bili i -f complicated £6 freebolders without any rating.

Another shower fell on Saturday Jast in this city, and the papers from the north side, re- ceived by the iast post, state that there had been occa- sional showers during the preylous week in that portion of the island, These showers have been most thankfully received wherever they have fallen, as the drought has been very severe. The Pedro and Alligator eavannaha, in the parish of Elizabeth, have suffered extremely for the want of rain. There is neither water por provisions in those dis- tricts, aud the poor are actually starving. Persons possetsed of a solitary y have had to sell it to buy food for themselves and families, which can only be got at a great distance from the townships. But bad as the present is, worse is anticrpated—even a famine, as the corn, potatoce, plantains, beans, &e., which were sown for next season, have, with the ripened provisions, been burnt up in the soil. A subscription list has been opened in Kingston for the relief of these unfortunate people, the bulk of whom are descendants of the Indians who inhabited the island on its discovery by Columbus. They live isolated from the other inhabitants of the colony ,and are known by the name of ‘‘Parakeats."” An extraordinary surgical operation has been perform- ed in this city by Dr. Alexander Fiddes. The operation was the removal of the entire tongue from its connection with the lingual bone, on account of a cancerous divease with which the organ wes affected, The patient was a middle aged fewale, and bad been suffering for several months, and, #8 aflording the only chance of escape from @ hngering aud painful death, she submitted to the opera- tion, She is now out of danger.

We have the beat reason to believe that the atachment 0 General Walker's name to this circular is ap unwarranted substitution of it for the mame which here appears signed to it, This circular, as here signed by the Secre- tary of the Southern Emigration Society, has been exten- sively ributed throughout the South, and we have before us a copy received by a friend. ‘The South- ern Emigration Society is an association which has been in existence some six months, is regularly organized, and bas branches all through the South, chiefly in Ala- vama, Mississippi, Georgia and South Carolina, ‘The emi- gration Moycment, which is contemplated (rom the South to Nicaragua, under the guarantee of the Cass- Yrisarri treaty, is being conducted under its auspices; and the an- nexed cireular, qpapatiog from this association, would, of course, only be signed by its proper officer.

We may add, in this connection, that the character of the proposed emigration from the South to Central America is entirely peaceful and lawful.

She with assuredly not submit to any invidious obstruction of her rights iu this particular, un- cer the prctextof a suspicion that her emigrants are going to Violate the neutrality laws, while ship loads of our citizens leave the Northern ports daily for a foreign destination without let or hindrance.

It seems that these Mexicons cannot imagine a victory complete unless it is signatized by inhuman butchery of defeneless prisoners.

Op the rendition of the opinion of Justice Connolly in the case of Robert L Willis, charged by Catharine Malhearn with the murder of an unkpown man, at his saloon, 581 Broadway , the accused was committed to prison. Richard Busteed, Esq,, counsel for the defendant, iramediately ap- plied to Judge Russell, who was presiding iu the General Sessions, for a writ of habeas corpus and certiorari, mad returnable at two o'clock. Afwr waiting an hour, th Justice arrived and made his return to the writ, submit ting all the papers in the case to the City Judge, where y counsel rose and said that he utterly denied ihe wuth of the return of the police magistrate, and he (counsel) re- garded this case as exhibiting magisterial imbecility in it most alarming form—an imbecility unparalloled in the annals of magisterial cureer so far a8 the city of New York was concerned, and strongly cautioning all citizens in the future as to how they should deposit so vast a power in the hands of men who were apparently so incompetent to discharge Judge Co “i (pterrepting) st throw myself upon the protection of the Court. I believe my offivial carcer will bear comparison with that of the counsel. Judge Rusgell—You will please avoid personalities in your remarks. Counsel, who was very much excited, promised that he would, and then went luto the merits of the case, narrat- ing the circumstances: ee by the witness Mulhearn, who was contradicted by the witness Clark, throwing in a y little spice every two or three minutes, such as “ignorant: mugistrate,” and other equally complimentary terms. Juege Connolly replied by saying thathe was author- ized by the Supreme Court to practice law. The Assistant District Attorney said that the questions involved were extremely simple. The City Judge was to review the decision of Justice Connolly according to bis sense Of the evidence and his judgment of the law, and it his Honor had read all the facts, he (the prosecuting oft- cer) did not hove toenlighten him, Judge Rustell—T have read the evidence as published in the daily papers, and could not find the conus delicti. I cannot discover any offence on the face of the papers. The very essence and body of the crime has not been es- tablished by the published evidence, and if there is any additional testimony I would like Justice Connolly to pro- duce it. Justice Connolly said there was a dead body observed in the cistern, and quoted the law which guided him in holding the accused to answer. Judge Russell pointed out the fallacy upon which the Justice acted, he supposing that the corpus delicti had been proven, when it was not shown to exist, and said:—T see nothing in the papers to warrant me in holding Willis, and shall re him. ‘The defendant then left the court, accompanied by a large number of his friends, Primary Election Riot in the Fourteenth Ward. ONE MAN SHOT AND ANOTHER STABBED. A riot, attended with serious, perhaps fatal conse- quences, occurred about eight o'clock last evening, at the primary election held at O'Connell Hall, in Mulberry street, for the purpose of electing delegates to the conven- tion for nominating a democratic candidate for Council- man from the Fourteenth ward. It appears, as far as the facts could be ascertained, that there were two factions— the one from the Bowery favoring the pretensions of a ; and the other, composed principally of in favor of the nomination of Mr. Charles So s00n as it wae ascertained that tie Bene- dict faction were likely to carry the election, the party from the Bowery rushed in with axes and attempted to break open the box. This being resisted, a general fight took place in the Hall, which, besides the asual number of black eyes and bloody noses, resulted in a man by the name of Johnson being stabbed in several places with a knife, one of which wounds, bebind the ear, is somewhat severe, though not likely to prove very serious. After the row at U’Connell Hall some dozen or so of the Renedict faction adjourned to the saloon of Mr. John Bush, No. 202 Hester street, for the purpose of having a drink all round, and of course, having a gs 1 war taik.”? Whilst here about Afty men from the Bowery, all armed, and headed by several well kuown bruisors of the Four teenth ward, rushed down from the Bowery tw the side. walk opposite Bosh’s place, and commenced shouting and gesticulating in the most insulting manner to the drinking party in the saloon, The attention of officer O'Rourke, of u Fourteenth ward police, Was at thie moment attracted hy the noise, who immediately repaired to the oe, oom aida tt in Ege hs the disturbance. Hi also went into ‘* and endeavored to prevent the party inside from making a rally upon their opponents oulside. At this time Mr. Frank Karly, a young man belonging to Engine Company No. 40, came up from the corner of Centre street to the door of 202 Hester street, and the mo- ment bis fire cap was recognized the Bowery party on the opposite side of the street commenced firing upen him, Five shots were fired at Early in quick succession, one of which only took effect, stiiking the upper part of the thigh, and glancing downward lodged jn the region of the kuee.

About seven o'clock last evening a disturbance took place ia the Fourteenth ward, which at ono time bid fair to be of avery serious nature. As it was, one man was shot avd another stabbed five times, but fortunately none of the wounds were such as to endanger the life of the parties. It oppears that a primary election was called by the democratic faction known as the Rogulara’ and leo ple's Genoral Committees, at O'Connell Mall, 128 Mulberry street. There were two parties op hand, ope alleged to bave been headed by Michael Smith, a candidate for Coun- cilman, and the other by Benedict, bis opponent, A large party of “Dead Rabbits” were also on band, and long be- fore the hour for the polls to open the Smith party bod congregated in strong force, and having secured the dailot box began to vote a often ag they deemed advi subie, When the Inspectors arrived they w ce much as toniehed to find so many votes in the box, and the Bene- diet party vot liking the way matters were on, de. clared diat the voter should not be cov. fair election should be had for delegates. ‘were accordingly “dumped” out and tho balloting pro- ceeded, the Bevediet party doing all in their power to “stuf” the box, as the former party had.

From twelve to fifteen hundred persons agsembled af the above place to witness mimic encounters with the gloves, and by their presence to testify to Aaron Jones, the English trainer of Heenan, their personal respect for him as a man end a acicutific boxer, The exhibition wea for his benefit. Every nook and corner of the building was crowded from the floor to the ceiling—wherever standing place could be procured, Ths sparring oxhibi- tion given by the “Benecia Boy’’ in Mozart Mall, just preceding the great Aght for the championship, was more to show oi! the candidate for public favor than for sparring. The ‘fancy’ then wanted to see Morrissey’a rival, and contentedly paid their dollar for the sight; but last evening they wanted to see the sparring, At the first exhibition Heenan and his friends were afraid to show “his points,’ lest friends of his opponent might take notep and report. Aaron, Wo, though a dutiful trainer, and thea content ‘to play second fiddle,’ and willing for the mo» ment to take a little “pepper? without retaliation, hag Since been understood to have bad some Kind of ambition for afree get-to to show his own points before he re- crossed the ocean, With this expectation the admirers of the “manly art of self-defence” pail their dollar last evening, and for a full hour, from the opening of the doors to the raising of the curtain, sat complacently, enveloped in clouds of tobacco smoke, 8o great was the anxiety to be early and procure a good seat to better se the aport. An efficient brasp band was fortunately engaged lo en- tertain the patient public, It looked (ess like martyrdom to be suffocated by the fumes of the nauseous weed to the tune of ‘Hail Columbia” and other favorite aire. How. ever, time and tobacco smoke rolled away, aud at last— full Ralf an hour after the appointed tour’ for commenc- ing—the curtain roro, and displayed to wondering eyes ‘a clear stage and no favor.” Jobnny Mackay, one of the seconds of Heenan, soon entered and made his bow a8 master of the ceremonies. He first introduced JOHNNY AARON, OF LONDON, AND TIM M’ARTHUR, OP NEW YorK, Who opened the ball. Johnny was considorably shorter at both ends than his New York cousin, all the same— Johnny managed to pre eae take with great will for three rounds, to the Ly ontertainment of the audience. After pummelling cach other till they had ‘‘beliows to mend,’’ a8 says prize ring lexicographer, they made their respectful bow and exit, to give place for BADGER RINKENS, OF NEW YORK, AND JIM BALL, OF LIVERPOOL. This pair of young ones seemed short of el. Un. adorned in the upper man, they displayed their ‘buffs’ to the furious gloves for five rounds—plenty of hitting in almost every fashion, but from the “shoulder,” that so much delighteth the fancy, Notwithstanding the absence of science they were cheered for pluck, and gave place for JOUN PYRURN, OF BROOKLYN, AND JOB COBURN, OF NEW RK. Responding to the call of ‘time,’ they cheerfully walked up to the serateh. Jobn was bigger and heavier than Joe, but the latter gentioman was quick om his wes, and got out of reach as it waa convenient to avoid bis friend John’s kindly attentions. This was the frst set-to that warmed the on, the applause waa either scanty nor soft. Feet, bands and tongue cheered the braves. In the finishing rownd they fought to the door, by which they made their exit, still in the struggic.
