SLAVERY IN THE WEST INDIES, In the April number of the Edinburg Review, some infamous facts on hit treatment of British, slaves are given in a review of Jeretnie on Ce-

onial Slavery.

Mr. Jeremie was tbe Chief Justice of St. Lu

cia and had expressed to the under Secretary of State, in writing, an opinion favorable to the condition of the Slaves. Having tent off the o-

pinion, which wan made without examination, he saw a negro with a collar rivetted around his

neck with three prongs ten inches in length,

and at the end of which were three more an inch.

wounds. This collar wat worn day and night,

the body rested on the wrists and the tips of the toes. The field stocks constituted another.

not 'plague the , inventor. The hands are in

serted in grooves which may be raised high a-

bove the head, and tbe feet are ueerted in oth

ers, while the toes only touch the ground.'-.

Pregnant women are not exempted.- Was there

ever an age of Chivalry, or of Justice f Mr.

Jeremie in his capacity ol Judge had to decide in the case of an overseer against a proprietor

for wages; and the latter Bled an account in off

set; which, to show the cool manner of conduc

ting such claims in the West Indies, we copy.-.

' For the value of John, the Cooper, flogged to

death by you, $40f For the price of the Degrees Mary Clare who died by bruises received by you, $300 The Judge diHcussed the proof ac a mere matter of account, but as one case only was clearly proved deducted only the $300. Who was the proprietor that trafficked thus in murder?- He was the former Chief Justice of the Colony. Mr. Jerenre mentions a complaint iu which a planter was charged with having murdered six or eight slaves in as many years. The complaint originated in a dispute, and not for justice or humanity. It however produced a general alarm, and the criminal escaped. The mur. derer. however, made a charge of the value of one slave to the public treasury, which wat paid on the ground that he was killed as a runaway. Mr. Jeremie at length had his eyes opened to the colonial standard of right and wrong, and he saw that his instances were not pecaliar to St Lucia, lie refers to the case of Mr. and Mrs. Moss, in the Pahumas, who suffered a short imprisonment fr killing a young female slave, by cooGoement in the stocks, repealed flogging, and rubbing in her eyes the capsicum pepper. Whfen released fiom prison, they were honored with a public dinner. What must be the people where an act like this is honored? A more general way, however, is for the grand jury to ignore a bill for murder. Courier.

" Gentlemen I have the honor to acknowl
