The Journal represents the island t) be very much disturbed by the dissatisfaction among the black labor- ing population. The Journal of the &th says—

Rumours are current that in the parishes of {Tanover, Westmoreland, and St. James (and we believe there is truth in those respecting the two first named) the laboring population are in a very dissatisfied state, and some are to he, or rather were, apprehended in August, which is the great negro holiday, and anniversary of freedom. The reasons assigned for this state of things are—I1st, large arrears of wages due to the people, which they rannot obtain payment of in consequence of the inability of the parties in charge of properties to procure the necessary means ; and 2d, alarm, arising out of the silly threat or suggestion lately thrown out, of transferring silegiance to America, or annexing the island to that country.

There were reports in Jamaica on the 12th, thata disturbance had broken out at Black River, but beyond the fact that two persons had been arrested, charged with using expressions having reference to an intended outbreak, nothing was certainly known.

The Barbadoes Globe of the 15th ult., gives the fol- lowing item relating to Santa Croix:

Slavery has been abolished in the Danish Islands of St. Thomas and Santa Croix—we regret to learn that in the latter place several acts of incendiarigm were perpetrated, and s0 great was the apprehension of the authorities for the lives and property of the citizens and other respectable colonists, that they applied for military aid to the Governor of Porto Rico—who sent up 580 soldiers in the Inter-Colonial steamer Eagle, whose presence had the happy effect of instantly overawing the disaffected and restoring peace and good order.

News from Porte Rico is important. The following ‘9 from a correspondent of the Bermuda Royal Gazette.

The latter is dated from Ponce, June 5th:

‘The news of the insurrection and revolution in Mar- tinique will probably have reached you about this time, and this being a West India Island, many will naturally inquire {fwe are safe? Ihave therefore thought best to state a few ofthe differences between the two islands. in this Island there is a population of nearly 500,000, of which but -47,000 are slaves. Martinique has a po- pulation of 80,000 of which there are about 8;000 whites or free people. The whole of that Island. is cultivated by slave Jabour. The slaves ia this Island are seattered about in the different towns—very distant from each other. ‘Here we have 4300 in a population of over 22,- 900. They are-well-treated generally, compared with those in Lousiana and the French Islands, and they Appear as contented as any labouring people to be found in any part of the world. It is utterly impossible for them ever to succeed here, should they attempt, and of this no one here has the least apprehension.’

UNITED STATES.

MEETINGS ON BEHALF OF IRELAND IN NEW YORK.

The war spirit in favour of freland, in the United States, appears to be pretty thoroughly aroused. The recent arrests have given new life to the friends of Irish nationality. Several large meetings have recently been held, at one of which» Horace Greely, editor of the T'ri- bune, presided. Bennett’s Hérald says:

‘We understand that the subscriptions-are pouring

‘heavy blows from the trunk of the elephant upon his back which beat him to the earth, where he lay. for some time as if dead.

The elephant then endeavoured to finish him by trampling upon him, which the Rhinoceros evaded by Jumping under the body of his powerful antagonist, in which position he gave the elephant several upward thrusts with the prodigious horn that projects from the front of his head, which put his elephantship fours de combat. The keepers finding it impossible to secure the infuriated beast alone, called upon the neighbours for assistance, which was promptly given, and every effort made to prevent him from doing further mischief.

Inthe meanwhile, the Rhinoceros had got into the open fields, where he confined his operations to the frightening ofa number of horses and cows that were in the pasture, and then took a neighbouring swamp where he luxuriated in his favorite recreation of: bathing with the same unconcern as if he had been wallowing among his own native marshes in Japan.

Finding it impossible to capture him by means of traps and meshes, the proprietors at length came to the couclusion of despatching him; and for this purpose ‘procured a number of muskets. They might, howeyer, jas well have fired against the side of a stone wall, as |his hide resisted the balls as effectually as if he had been encased in iron.

Up to a Jate hour they had not succeeded in taking him, although more than five hundred persons were en- ‘gaged in the pursuit, and a large reward offered for his ‘capture alive. The elephant is so badly wounded that he is not expected to recover.—Johnstown (U. S.:) Re- publican.

Friour, &c.—In consequence: of a demand for the English market during the last few days, and slight re- ceipts, a slight improvement has taken place in the com- mon brands of Western Canal Plour. ‘The sales reach} 425,000 barrels per day. Common New York $4.75 a 4,814; Western Canal, $4.874 a 5; pure Genessee, $6,253 common Southern kinds, $4.75 a 6. For old and new Rye Flour, $3,59 a 3,624. Jersey Corn Meal isin moderate demand at $2,564 a 2,624. The market is well supplied with the common qualities of Wheat. Sales of Wisconsin, Missouri and Ohio have been made at from 874cts. to $1, and some Ohio at $1,6. Corn has-been in good demand, but there was less enquiry to- day. Sales of common mixed were made a 51 cts; good do. at 52 a 55; flat yellow do. 57, round yellow is held at 60 cts. Rye is held at 70cts.

The New York Herald meucions a case of elopement and murder inhigh life. After the marriage the * happy ‘pair’ returned to the family of the fair fugitive, recrimi- ‘nation followed, and the young man pulled out a pisto! and shot his wife’s uncle dead.

| Harp Weopine.—A Mr. Marble lately married a ‘Miss Stoae. The marriage ceremony took place in a ‘small town in the Granie State, and the nuptial knot Ls tied-by the Rev. Dr.‘ Flint.

widow ‘to enable her to get drunk at his expense—for the last time.’

this city, at a rate which is hardly credible. Fifty thousand dollars will, itis confidently asserted, be trans- mitted by the steamship which will sail from this. city on Wednesday next. The real friends of Ireland are coming out, and they seem to vie with each other in the inunificence of their contributions,

‘We learn from authentic sources that the quantity of, .

ammunition and arms in Ireland, secreted in places xnown only to the leaders of the people, is immense— suficient to last fer a prolonged. warfare, in case the matter be not decided at once when the blow shall have been struck.

‘Mr. O'Flaherty, the friend of Meagher, arrived here by the last steamer, as the accredited agent of the Irish leaders. On. his return he will take with him all the money that may have been subscribed up to the hour of his departure.

‘There can be no doubt that the people of Ireland will receive great assistance from the United States, towards accomplishing their independence and freeing their native isle from foreign tyranny and misrule.
