I lie lollowiug itfHiio| iu4 vitrvordiuAry pivlurt of the results of emancipation on U>? while and block raoes, in the British W'wl ludia Islands, (says the Cltarlvaion Mercury,) U by a Mr. John Davy, on entliusiaalio Aboliliouiat, who spent three yeura in ilia Weat luiliea, an<l wrote a work entiled "The West Indies before ulid aiuoc Kiuauoipatiou." It place* Itriliali philanthropy in a very curious position; un J yet, strange to say, the author attempts to draw arguments froin it in favor of the dogma which has led to the destruction and degradation of the British West India possessions. His great argument is, that if these colonies had been preserved in a hculihlul slate, and their iuliabitunts kept in o civil * d and regulated condition, the production ol sugar would have been so us to hav? materially lessened its price. It is a monstrous reason, brought forward to sustain an insane theory. For such supposed advantages the British Islands have the condition of society depicted in the following extracts! Speaking of the poor laboring whites, he says: "Previous to emancipation they were of far mnro importance than subsequently; then the militia, winch for a lung period was the sole defence of Barbudoes, was principally composed of them; then those who were not small proprietors had a certain allowance of land granted to them hy the larger proprietors, on the condition of performing military service according to a law to lliul effect. So situated, easily supporting themselves ond families with little exertion, it is not surprising that they acquired the habits which now unfortunately distinguish them. Alter emancipation, the law alluded to ceased to be in force; and the militiamen censed to serves they were permitted no longer to retain rent free the land before allowed them; and hence, with their acquired habit*, iu a great measure their pit sent miserable condition. "The poor whites, or 'red legs,' ns they are eon j tcmptuoualy called, from the red hue of their nnk?d legs, lire located nist ill the more distant part of the island?distant in relation to Bridgetown, its capital and tfliit'f%capart, vix: in the Scotland district, and ill the poorer portion of St. Philip's uud St. Lucy'*. Now that they arc obliged to support themselves as tliey can, they ure variously employed. Those who a little laud, or who rent a fuw acres, cultivate chi.fly tin we enqst wli cli require lets' labor and the small, st moans, such as i ground provisions, nriowroot. aloes, and |K-rlirpna little cotton. I have seen one of ih< in at work on Ins ground in a manner not n little characteristic:n lioe ill one hand, an Uinbrella in the other, which he held over his head, and a face cloth over his face. Some who have be. n taught to read and write are engaged as bouk-kecpt r? by the proprietors ol the larger estate*, with a pay of about six dollars a month, and board and l.sfging. Some ore elm Ih I occupied hi fishing, and that of ;? simple kind, by : means <>l llit* casting nrl, and arc to be seen cxrr- i cising their skill on the shore, ahmsl among the; breaker*, apparently .it thetisk ul lln-ir hvi-s.

H i account of emancipated negroes is not a bit nmrc tl.utei ing: "Owing to the wont of such a system, or rather the want of any goal instruction, the great inajori- ; ty ol these people, since ematici| a'ion, huvo improved less Hi nmr.il than iti physical condition, to \ the di*nppoitilm< nt of many f thv.r w?

It will act like magic on lands deficient of lime. Plant also the Chinese piolilie pea, which will vet give von a good yield, with favorable 'season#.' Plant, also, plenty of pumpkins among your corn, or in a separate patch. Milch cows and hogs relish litem greatly, and they are quite fattening when boiled up with meal or bran.
