TltS AFRICAN RFDKMPTI0H1SX9. When jjiird Clarendon wna nukiil in llie lloum of Lords ifhe hud nuy knowledge of the fnct Hint the French (bivcimiieut contemplated tlio till* Iortulion of African redennitiouistiiinlo tlie \Vc?t mlia Inlands, lie iU-clni'ru lio Imcl received no official in fori ii ii t ion on tho subject. It win scnrccly to tic expectcd, in a matter of this kind, that Louis Napoleon would instruct his represcn- , intivo at the court of St. Juntes to givo formal notico to the British ministry of liis intention to sanction a incueuro of the propriety of which he himself was alone entitled to jud^o. France and Kiigland huvc both tried Coolio lalwr, but tlie Kiicuess lias not justified the expense incurred.? The West India planters complain bitterly of tho restrictive laws iin|>osc<l upon Ihein by the Homo tiovorinnenls while Cuba, with the connivance of the authorities, continues to import large curgoes of African slaves. They, therefore, ask that the slave trade shall be cflcetually suppressed, or ili.it they shall be permitted to intioduce African immigrants into the islands at their own cost upon such terms as may bo agreed upon between the coutractiug parties. The Krenvh West India plaintcm inhabiting Martinique and Demerara have made a similur appeal to Louis Napoleon. Lord l'nlmerstoti, in reply to the deputation thai recently waited upon him, promised U> fj*,ve the subject tliat attention its importance deserved, and high hopes were eiitertuiued by the coiiimillcc tliat the action of the Government would be favorable. Bat notwithstanding the vigorous support given to the scheme by tlie London Times, a strenuous opposition to it has arisen both in and ' out of parliament. Lords Shaftesbury m.<1 Brougham have denounced it, and tho anti-slavery ossoeiation, many of tvliosc members wore at first disposed to countenance the scheme, is up in arms against it. Yet there ib much truth in tlie assertion of the West India planter, that free labor cannot compete with slare labor, and that the rcstiietions imposed upon them hy Parliament are ruinous to their interests. They also plausibly argue that, by importing African redemptiouists, commerce in slaves will be effectually broken up and slave property itself rendered comparatively worthless. liut. it will he along time before tlie Knglish public will couseul to the adoption of an expedient which looks to the importation of Africans from the gold | coast, and au cucour'agr.ment of the now almost, obsolete man-liuills by the chiefs of the interior. Louis Napoleon, however, is riot so fastidious, lie has no K.vetor Hall to conciliate, and regards ... ii.. - viic iniuic nuiMion as one 01 cneop sugar. I'lnlauthropy may declare itself horror stiicken at a renewal of ihc slave trade under (lie plea of encouraging immigration, and may very reasonably charge that, after ten years of enforced labor, very few of the redemptionists will ha found ulive. And therein no dotiht whatever that those planters, who hold them in service, will get as much work out of them, during their limited period of ownership, ns they possibly can. But, since slavery was abolished in the British and French West "lndivi Islands, the plantations have run to weeds, the planters are reduced to beggary, ami Kurope is still depen dent upon j 6lavc labor for her supplies of sugar ntnl cotton. The remedy proposed in England has been adopted by Franco. We learn by laic advices that "Ihc contract recently entered into by the French Government with a Mnrseillics house for the supply of lo,0Oi> Africans to Gundaloupo and Martinique, was, it seems, signed by the French minister ol marine and foreign aftairs on the one part, and AIM. Regis, of Marseille?, of the other part, on the 13th of Alurch last. It stipulates that the latter arc, within three years, or, if possible, in less time, to transport 5,0f)0 Maries to Gaudaloupe and as many to Martinique, there to work under an engagement fir ten years, at the wages of 1*2 francs (.">0 centimes) a month, out of which each i i? < - - , ....j.wnui iia-; it.- |>iiv, 111 1110 rmc o! two fiv u month, t!it; eost ot' his transport fr?m Afri.which is estimated at 20i? francs. MM. Regis undertake to employ in this service large steam vessels capable of containing 600 passenger.-, and for cacli adult immigrant, male or feniiile, they are to receive 50i) francs, or ?'20 sterling. One of these steamers ha?, we are assured, already Railed." It will bit nolc.l tlmt under the above contract the cost of each African laborer imported into Guadaloupe and Martinique is not to exceed one hundred dollars, while the stipulated wages of tho redemptionists is put at ?9.37 l-~ a month. At the present cost of slaves for life, this small miiii will give the advantage to those who hold men lor a limited term ; and if a sndicient number of captives can be obtained on these conditions, the old fashioned slave trade will dio out for want of patronage. In the meantime, however the Council-General of Martinique has thrown a dash of cold water.on tlic contract entered into between MM. Regis and the French Government. It has petitioned the Minister of Foreign Affairs to exercise his reserved authority, and nnnul tho contract entered into with M. ltogis. Counsels more liberal engagements with Coolie emigrants, and u higher premium to such us will consent to bind themselves to a new term of sorvice. Of the morality of the new scheme, it is perhaps as well to say us little as possible. Tho London Times may approve of it ns a means of regenerating the waste lands of the tropica, and the planter* may declarc that its enforcement would l?e a blessing to the African race. Look atit, however, in any light we may, it is but another phase of slavery. It is a confession that, however, much slavery in the abstract is to bo abhorred, necessity compels its recognition in some shape or other. It is undoubtedly moat mortifying that statesmen of ability should thus be obliged to retrace their steps, and veil a re organization of the old traffic under the flimsy cover of a new name. We are disposed to regard this movement as one of >niieh more linn ordinary importance. It foreshadows a new policy in future with respect to the African race ?a policy, too, which eventually may have a serious effect upon the perpetuity of slavery in our own Southern States.?Baltimore Patriot. The Cotton Crop of 1857 ond *53.?A week or ton days ago, n communication appeared in tho N. Y. Journal of Commerce, posl-inurkcd Montgomery, Alu. giving an estimate of the next coltoil crop.

SLAVE LABOR. 1 In another column will be found an extract upon the subject of the introduction of slave la- J bor into the West India Islands. This subject at v present is exciting great interest, both in l'rancc and England, and the proposition is being discussed of introducing Africans into their posses- j sions, not under the name of slaves, but that of v Coolies, who are to servo in the capacity of la- v borers for a term of years. The dilapidated con- ? dition of the once magnificent sugar and cofTco 1 plantations in Jamaca, ntid the almost barbarous t state of tho free negroes there, it seems, has \ brought about a change in the sentiments of those 3 who heretofore have been foremost in advocating v the freedom of the blacks. The increasing demaud for cotton, and the great desire of Enpland c to furnish her supplies from her own soil, if pos- ? siblo, is inducing her thus to nilvocale these r measures. Self-interest and aggrandisement is t at the bottom of the project, and philanthropy c or a disposition to better the condition of the ne- J gro, has but littlo to do willi it. 6 -? ? t KANSAS.

The progress of the cultivation of wheat in our own country presents not only a subject of intense interest, hut also one of great national congratulation. Prior to the year 1H)0, agriculture. was confined to the Atlantic States. Preceding that time, the revolutionary condition of France, and the war which involved the whole, of Europe, taken in connection with the limited space devoted to wheat culture, cntihlcd our farmers to realize such high prices, that, as a class, they reveled in unbounded prosperity. In 17 .?(?, the higher price obtained for Hour, as a natural consequence, diverted capital from other channels to be employed in tilling the coil, and, with this impulse, in the brief space of half a century we find tlie vast and fertile valley of the Mississippi reclaimed from nature, and waving with golden crops.

That (J over nor Walker is not a man of the highest principles of personal honor will sufficiently appear from the following uurrativo of one among many similar financial exploits; When Kolieit J. Walker was senator fiom Mississippi , lie ascertained that an old gentleman in Middlesex county in this State was disposed to sell a large estate in negroes. Accordingly, in company with a colleague in the House of Ueprescntniivcs, Walker made the old gentleman a visit, and afier a protracted negotiation succeeded in purchasing the slaves. And he got them 011 good terms, for the old gentleman?a devoted democrat?was charmed by the graceful condescension of the distinguished senator. Tlio aggregate price of the negroes was nunieimnp more than forty thousand dollars, for which Walker gave a note or druft payable in New Orleans. lJut the old gentleman would not sell his sluves except on condition mat they were to be kept together on a plantation in the South.' Well, the slaves were taken to Now Orleans, wero put upon the block and dispersed to the four winds?the purchaser rculnlizing a considerable j profit by the 'transaction.*' '1 be note or^ draft matured, was presented for payment, was pro- 1 tested, and from that day to tliw present time > not a cent has been received either by the old ' gentleman or his heirs for fifty thousand dollars ' worth of npgroes I Meanwhile, Walker has lived 1 in affluence, and is believed now to bo a millionaire.

In this way the tutnor is destroyed still deeper. The incisions are gradually extended in dentli from time to time, fresh cuustic being introduced into thcin at each dressing, till in this way the whole tumor is seriatim converted into one large eseber, which separates by u surface of demarcation, according to the ordinary ' principles of surgery."
