      tiiely destroyed , and the Missionary ( Shrewsbury ) Obliged to fly , with his family , for his > life . Upon this outrage being committed , the Governor , Sir Henry Warde , issued a Proclamation , offering a reward of £ 100 for the conviction of the

      offenders . A counter proclamation was sent forth by the incendiaries , or their friends , threatening that persons coming forward to impeach shall receive the punishment which they deserve , and observing that < c the reward is offered on

      convictiou , which cannot be effected whilst the people . are firm to themselves . " This document states that the midnight rioters were not the rabble , but that the majority of them were persona of the first respectability .

      At Berbice , also , the Missionary Chapel , occupied by Mr . John Wray , from the London Society , was , on the 22 d September , destroyed by tire , but it does not yet appear whether the fire was accidental or wilful . - ¦

      The West India Interest at home are very active , and have engaged a part of the daily press in their service . How far they will prevail upon the Government to alter its purpose remains to be seen , but it seems on every account desirable that the hands of his Majesty * s Ministers should be strengthened by the expression of the public feeling by means of respectful and temperate petitions .

      The usual arts of misrepresentation have been adopted by the friends of perpetual and unmitigated slavery .

      to truth , it U charged upon the abolitionists that they meditate the destruction of the immense mass of West India property , guaranteed by riunieirora ^ fccts ^ of Parliament : for one of tfeechiefarjgo * ments for a gradual and safe abolition is ,

      that tinder the present systetti the iralue of property in the Colonies is sinking , and must ultimately be as nothing ; and the abolitionists bring forward s facts to shew , that in all cases free labour is cheaper than compulsory . Whether they be right or wrong in their reasonings * their bitterest adversaries must know and

      feel that they A have no evil intentions . And we earnestly hope that the clamours of a body of men , whose falsely-calculated interests are viewed by themselves to be endangered , will not deter the Government from pursuing the great measures of justice and humanity , to which it stands pledged before the world .
