The proposed estate in Jamaica consists of about one thousand acres, and the shares in this company are L10 each, L1 only to be called up immediately, the rest by instalments.  The liability is limited.  Full information may be obtained by addressing Stephen Bourne, Esq., 55 Charing Cross, London, or the Secretary of the “Jamaica Cotton-growing Company,” C. W. Streatfield, Esq.  We rejoice to see that this new company is being supported not only by benevolent philanthropists and capitalists in London, but by experienced Manchester manufacturers; among the rest by the excellent Thomas Clegg, so well known for his persevering efforts in West Africa, and by Thomas Bazley, M.P. for Manchester, and a most extensive cotton spinner.  Their mills would alone, consume the cotton grown on three such estates as that which it is proposed to cultivate.  There is abundant room, therefore, for cultivation of cotton by the emancipated freeholders.

Communications have also reached us from Demerara.  Charles Rattray, a valuable Scotch missionary in that colony, was in England last spring, and went back to his adopted country with his mind full fraught with the importance of cotton growing within its borders.  He happened to have small samples of Demerara cotton with him.  These were shown to cotton-brokers and manufacturers in Liverpool and Manchester, and were pronounced to be most excellent—­so much so, that specimen gins and a supply of cotton-seed were kindly presented to him at the latter place, before he left England.  Mr. Rattray is now bringing the subject before his people, and is also intending to plant with cotton some ground belonging to the Mission station.

But we will not further enlarge.  Commending our cause to Him, who has promised never to forget the poor and needy, and that in His own good time He will arise for their deliverance and “break every yoke.”

    I remain, sincerely and respectfully, your friend,

    Anna H. Richardson.

P.S.  Since writing the above, we have seen it stated in the Principia, a New York paper, that William S. Bailey has been arrested on a charge of publishing an incendiary paper, and held to bail in the sum of $1,000, to appear before the Circuit Court, in November next.  It is further stated that one of the two magistrates by whom W.S.  Bailey was examined, and held to bail on this charge, was the chosen leader of the mob that destroyed his type and printing press.

    We have yet to see what will be the end of this cruel conflict. 
    Let us not desert our suffering friend and his noble-hearted
    family.
