/ The protended philanthropy of the British Government has tended onl) greatly to increase the sufferings of her Colonies, and ul the same time to diminish their productions. The disastrous effect of the new plan of importing the East Indian Coolies as sub suiutes lor slaves, has been forcibly set forth by the last advices from Jamaica. By the arrival of the Arthur, Captain Danch, at New York, files of the Kingston Morning Journal, from July 12th to July 30th, have been received. The plan of Coolie emigration has prove an entire fail lire. Hundreds of thousands of pounds have been squandered to bring lo the Island a class of persons wholly unfilled for useful labor, and who have generally become paupers, thu.? involving the city in heavy expense?. The Chairman of the Quarter Session at St. Thomas-iu-the-East, in his address to the Grand Jury, says : t; The highways and places of public resort were crowded with these wretched creatures in the last ami worst stage of destitution, 5C[ur.l. r, filth, disease and dejection. Clothing they had, for the most part, none, and co\ ering barely suflicient to pay tribute to the decencies of Nature, totally inadequate to meet the decorums of Society."

It has becomc our rr.clancholy duty to record ihe death of an amiable and pious female, Mrs. T A LIT HA GOODS STUART, consort of Dr. Jolin A. Stuart-, of this District, and daughter of Col. LaiUin Griffin, who departed this life at Cokesbury on the 13th ult., in the 35th year of her age. i\lr's Stuart had been an orderly member of the Baptist Church for 16 years, being />ne of the many who obtained a hope in the Savior during the interesting revival of religion enjoyed by the churches in the year 1831.

And now that she has been called away by death from the society of her friends on earth, whilst he deeply sympathizes with the afflicted, parents and other relations, it is no small consolation to him to be able to state that a consistent couise of christian conduct for 16 3'ears has proved the genuineness of her conversion and the sincerity of her profession. It is the testimony of her husband, that "she enjoyed religion much in health and in sickness.*' Her afflictions were pro tracted for twelve months, during the last six months of which, her sufferings were great, all of which she bore with christian fortitude, not a murmur against the dispensation of Providence, escaping her lips. Convinced in her mind from the symptoms of her disease that she could not recover, she expressed herself as being entirely re? signed to the will of God. A few days be foro her decease she desired that a chapter in the Bible should be read, and pointed out : l the 14th chapter of Job as a suitable one. Truly may it be said of her, lli8he cometh forth like a flower and is cut down; she fleeth as a shadow and continueth not." She has left many relatives and dear friends to mourn her departure, in whose memories her many virtues will long be cherished; and whose deep sorrow is only mitigated by S&-. the language of the Bible, ''Blessed are the ?& dead that die in the Lord from hcnceforth ; yea saith the Spirit, that they may rest from ix their labor; and their works do follow 0 them."
