New York, Jan. 23. The Herald's Jamaica correspondent says: The negroes of St. Thomas, in the east oi bt. Davids, have refused to turn out to work in the estates except mey gee an increased rate ot pay. j.ne proceedings oi tne Jamaica Committee are producing in these parishes the greatest amount of hostility towards those in authority. Dr. Fidder, the opponent of exGovernor Eyre, leaves for England to testify against him at his trial. v The -Times' Montreal special says: Mr. Gaits' mission to England has nothing to do with the protection of the educational rights of the Protestant minority of Lower Canada. TH... 1 Ll l j ;. t - Jomits the guarantees on this subject, notwithstanding it is the most important feature for consideration in the project. The receipt of the Grand Trunk Railroad for 1866 were $6,639,260, an increase of 153,067 over 1865. Those of the Great Western were 13,275,402, an increase of $3,648.

A special says the President's vetoes of the Colorado and Nebraska bills were considered in the Cabinet yesterday, and it is expected they will be ent to Congress to-day. Postmaster General Dennis, in the statement in a Cincinnati paper, that a contract was made by him for $180,000, was so corrupt, that the contract clerk refused to sign, says the contract was determined by his pre decessor, Gov. Dennison, and that there was no corruption in it, and the li,- j:j i. c. i it. In all other respects the statement is correct.

The Tribune's Washington special says: A statement was made on the floor of the m House, regarding the Court of Claims, that the Court had decided that the act of Congress, allowing persons of color to testily in the Courts of the United States does not apply to that Court, is erroneous. No such point was ever before the Court. What was decided was that the Act of Congress did not authorize a party to testify where the United States were defendants.

Cincinnati, Jan. 19, 18C7 Editors Journal : As time and business drags heavily with us at this time on account, in part, to the closing of navigation, we find ourselves at a loss for something to engage in to destroy the monotony of every day life, and as the most abundant article, now in this market. is salesmen in quest of situations, we not unfrequently have some sport with some of them.

Another Cargo of American Articles to Sail The ship Mercury being: Loaded at Pier Ho. 6, North Hirer Two School Houses, a Bakery and a Farm House on Board, etc., etc. From the New York Tribune. For some weeks past, the ship Mercury, lying at pier No. 6, North River, has been receivmg on board goods destined for the Universal Exposition in Paris. At the present time, she has received over 1,000 packages, makinsr acargo of over 800 tons. Nearly every branch of trade carried on in this country is represented among this

vast collection of articles of domestic manufacture and growth. There are, too, many eccentricities in mechanism and art, in which is phown the jrenius of American invention. Yankee notions are, of course, given a place, but long ago it was found necessary to make this very limited in extent, in

asmuch as every man .in the country who "devised an improved " wooden nutmeg," or gave b rth to a jumping jack of new and peculiar acrobatic ability, at once proceeded to th office of Mr. J. C. Derby. Genera Agent for the United States, at No 40 Jfark How, to press his claims to conspicuous place for his invention at the Exhibition. . , liivery otate, iMortn and oouth, is represented in the cargo, of the Mer cury. It would be almost an impossi bihty to give the readers or the Jri bune a full description of all th articles wnicn consuture that cargo Specialties only can be mentioned Illinois sends a school-house a rea Western "fount of learning," es pecially designed and gotten up to show the people of Paris, and through Paris to show the whole world, in what sort or building the pedagogue plies his proiession on the prairies and in the iorests or the western con tinent. lne scnooi house was con structed in Chicage, whence it was brought to this city in three laree freight cars. It is most carefully and iaithtully made, and when put ud in the American quarters of the Great Exposition, will undoubtedly be hailed as a curiosity. A companion to this is another school-house. This is a real Yankee affair, and comes from Boston. It is not as large as its brother from Chi cago, but it presents a true type oi those seats of nollidge in which such men as Hosea Bigelow and other philosophers of the same class ac quired their "larnm. Ihere is a bakery.' too. a Boston bakery, in which M. Blot's theory of cuisnerie will be made to blush it theory can be made to blush at all by the Yankee gingerbread and browncake takers who will have charge of this peculiar institution. The struc ture is complete, and it is the basis of great expectations to the Boston Deo pie who conceived the idea of sending lit vo tne XiXuioition. Still there is another Imildin?. This is a farm-house all the wav from Chicago. A more perfect model never did justice to its original. It is complete in every ", particular. Barns and out-houses surround it : vines run up its front, and diffuse themselves over its roof: a fence surrounds it. and well it is a farm-house to Derfection, and no more can be said to describe it. These constitute the houses that will be on exhibition from this country. One progressive Yankee desired to construct a church and send it over, to give the Parisians an idea of the kind of buildings devoted in this country to religious worship; but his application was denied, owing to the great length of the steeple he designed to erect for his representative church. Me said, he could n t reduce the steeple nohow, for he wanted a place for the bell, and lota o' room for the tongue to do its waggin'." Among the works of art are mintings by Bierstedt, Hicks, Wier, Cropsey, Huntington, and other eminent American artists. Bierstedt sends his Rocky Mountains." and Wier fur nishes his celebrated painting illustrative of casting guns at the Parrott oundry at Cold bpnng. on the Hud son. It is expected that Mr. Bierstedt will superintend the hanging of tne pictures. Many splendid books, specimens of the publisher's art, are in the cargo. .M early all o: the principal publishing houses in the country have furnished volumes, to represent the literary and typographical advancement of our ountry. A superior copy of Web ster's Unabridged, from the Merriams, ot bpringheld, Mass., is among the umber. It is magnificently bound in Turkey morocco, and most elabo rately hmshed throughout. ; r Ihen there are grand pianos of the most costly description and most ar tistic completeness ; carnages fit for the Emperor to ride in; a locomotive; a street car; tobacco cutting machines; mowing machines; organs that would not be out of place in the grand Cathedral of Milan; wine from domestic grapes; raw and cured tobacco: raw cotton and sugar: pine from the Carolinas; all sorts of domestic dry goods and goods of every description; crockery; Jersey porcelain and earthen ware, and hundreds of other articles which want of space will not permit us to mention here. The mineral resources of the country are largely represented. There is gold from Colorado and other Territories and from the States, while silver, copper, iron and lead, in fact the entire American mineralogical kingdom are not overlooked. A planing machine, weighing forty tons, a fine result of mechanical work is sent from Philadelphia. The Gatthng battery, which is capable of killing 2o0 of the enemy a minute, is also on board the ship. This, it is expec e 1, will take some of the dignity out of the needle gun. A remarkable pair of elk horns, from Louisiana, and a number of corn-stalks, each seventeen feet in height, will give the old world people some knowledge of the stature attained by some of the members of the animal kingdom, and by some of the products of the soil. The space allotted to the United States is equal to 50.000 square feet. It is all inside of the Palace, and is divided into seven spaces the divisions being caused by aisles or walks, running circularly around the Palace. There will be a reading room and a

library connected with the depart

ment, where visitors from this country will always find the principal daily and weekly American journals, and all of the best magazines and periodi cals. Mr. Derby, some time aso, gave no tice that the time had expired in which applications for the admission of articles to the Exhibition would be received: but owing to the vast num ber of individuals, representing all the trades of the country, who desire to send articles, it has been found necessary to extend the time in order that the applications should all be properly and justly disposed of. The Mercury will sail on Thursday next with her cargo, which will be consigned to N. M. Beckwith. United States Commissioner General for the Expedition. She is commanded by Captain 1 nomas P. Stetson, who was master of her at the time that she picked up the passengers and crew of tne snip wunam iNeison, wnicn vessel, it will be remembered, was buried at sea. No other vessel will be sent bv the General Agent after the departure of the Mercury. Articles intended for the Exposition, subsequent to that time, must be sent by steamer or by ship, under the direction of the parties whp send them. Persons forwarding articles to the Exposition are directed to take particular care to send to the General Agent notices of shipments, with the snipping receipts, and a detailed list of the contents of each box or package. In all cases where boxes are used, they should be put together with screws, so that they may be taken apart without injury, stored during the time of the Exhibition, and be ready for use after the same is closed. If from whatever cause any successful applicant should be unable to forward his articles, he must notify the Gen eral Agent at once, so that the porno may pe wunarawn rrom tne catalogue which is now being printed.
