The parties who partially demoiished the police station and chased the Judgy from the judgment seat are still untried, in con- Sequence of the sudden terminasion of the special com- mitsion. This unexpected amd much regretted event was caused by the departure from Savannah la-Mar of the jurors from Trelawny (a neighDoringjparish) before the trials were concluded. The majority of thege goutiemen boid commissions of the peace, and they have beea called upoo by the Governor to give their reasons for absenting themeelves without leave of the Court and to the injury of the public service. His Excellency has given them to underétand tbat unless substantial reasons are given their cou.migsions will be cancelled, and it is generally sup posed that this will be the case, because the delinquente had no other reagon for leaving Bavannah-l-Mar than a desire to return to their homes, which is no justification of their conduct, Each of the jurors has already been fined £26 for his absence. ‘The troops have been withdrawn from Sayaunah-le Mar, but things are not so quiet in the district as to warrant the supposition that tranquillity has returned.

Contemporsneously with the writing of this seditious communication, (for which the authors will be tried at the ensuing Circnit Court for the district of Vere),a memo- vinl, addressed to the Queen's Most Excetient ) was forwarded to his Excellency the Governor by one U. uM.

Public opinion ts very much sguinst the system of bal- Vutlng, becauge in that case men will be enrolled whom it ‘will not be safe to entrust with arma, There is no doubt that a strong feeling of diecontent still exists among the Precdial classes, caused by the preaching of revolutiousry doctrines by the Beptist parsons and the editor of the Watchman, Mr. Johnson, who has recently been in Bt. Mary, creating & great deal of mischief. He leo- tured on the state end prospects of the colony, Dut instead of stating truths he represented abominable faleehoods, and represented the government as the op. Pressors of the people, and the upper classes as tyrants and haters of the laborivg population. This man is the most mischievous person in the island, but yethe manages to escape the crown officers. His writings inthe Waich- man newspaper, of which he is editor, areas false and vituperative as his speeches and lectures. He will be tried at the next Kingston Circuit Court for a libel on the Bonorable Louis McKinnon. Tho Jamaica Reform Society, or rather the revolution.

The present election law requires every elector to place his claim on « ten sshilliogs stamp, and the claes of persons cyer whom the sovloty bave control.are unable, and if they were able, they ‘woula be unwilling, to pay thefee. Great efforts will, how. ever, be made by the revolutioniste to carry out their de- tire, and serious disturbances may be expected.
