The Hercules will be constructed with a thickness of iron running along her broadside of 11 1 inches, of which her armour plate alon will be of tho enormous thickness or exactly double th thickness of th armour plates of th Warrior, which is only protected for some 200ft. amidships. The recent experiments made at Shoeburyness ea th Hercules target, constructed with exactly th same weight of iron and timber per square foot as is intended to be employed in the resael prored incontestably that Do gun hitherto in Tented will be able te propel a shot through tb sides.

On the oocaaion of th experiments alluded to three of tL Armstrong 12 tea 300 pouader shunt guns were fired at a distaoos of onlj 200 yards, with charge raryiag from i51b. to COb. of powder.

Sir, In your Usu of Monday, tb 13th in a leading article, I find tb following words i In ths old dsrs of slarery th Jamaica negro was noted among bis race for his dangerous character, and be reae against bis masters, ander th guidance ef the Baptists, on the rtry ere of 1 cannot, Sir, allow this rery grar accusation sgsinst the body to which I hr tb honour to belong to pea without a word of comment The Baptist of this country bar long taken a deep interest la tb welfare of th negro, aad eoo tributod by their exertions to seur th abolitioo of slarery throughout the dominions of Great Britain. Batyoumuit fully aware tbat their principle and proosdur bar been and sr utterly arena to tb encouragement of insurrection against lawful authority, and you moat bar forgotten the fasts, which completely disprove th statement made in the paaaag I bar quoted above. It is perfectly tree that aa attempt waa mad to fasten upon Baptist missionaries the guilt of the star insurrection of 1831 Bat in rry Instance tb ease broke down, although th basest efforts were msd by suborning falsa testimony to scour th conviction of tb accused "missionaries. I cannot adduce bettor evidence of this than th following extract from the editorial columns of Tto Timet of th 15th of September, 1832. Tour predeceasor says No instance of I nsabordinatioa or outrage has vr occurred throughout thee colonies since the abolition of th slar trail, whence prompt occasion was not taken to chart th guilt of it upon the unfortunate missionaries, In th fat insurrection of Jamaica torn miaeiooariee wer subjected to trial under similar charge but, notwithstanding th clamour raised against them, and th excitement then prevailing in the island, no misconduct was substantiated against any on of them not on conviction could be obtained, howercr ardently it was wished for and diligently sought." Tha bitterness and dissppointmrat ot the planting interest vented ltaelf, ss you will remember, in tha destruction of numerous chapels and dwellingbonses outrages de.

I might refer you, with the perfect assurance that th evidence will establish th sxtrems inaccuracy of your ss 'ertion, to th Parliamentary Bloebooks of 1832 but will satisfy myself with two brief quotations from replies of Sir Iiooel Smith, Governor of Jamaica, to addresses from the Baptiat rniaaionaries, and the society In 1839. He aays Even with the aid of a rieious aad well mud Dress, both In Cnguna sna Jamaica, and, 11 may praeumod, soma habitual oooldenoe in Jamaica uric, th enemies of your relipon have never dared to go to the proof of their audacious accusations against you. The admirable eondoct of th peasantry in such a ensis has constituted a proud triumph to th causa of religion, and thoe who contributed to enlighten them in their mora duties, through persecutions, insult, snd dangers, have deserved the regart and esteem of the good snd just in all Christian countries."

Wa wish to know whether Koibb was, or was not, a Baptist minister The Blacks or Jamaica. At tho last census of Jamaica, in Mar, 1SG1, the white population was 1:1,816 io Dumber, being in the proportion of one white to 32 black or coloured. Since thst time some thousands of Indian coolies bar been introduced Id to ths island as labourers. The total population in 18C1 was ft The number of children in schools wss returned at 20,167 in 1803 the return for 1801 hsd shown tbe exceptionally large Dumber of 40,670, but that waa the census year, and it is supposed thst returns wer taken in that year which included Sunday schools. Tbe present is the fourth negro rebellion ia the an oats of Jamaica.

On the 211 of February, 1745, about 000 negro slaves in a conspirscy to destroy all the white inhabitants of tbe island. In 1795 the Maroons, a community of fugitire staves who had obtained permisaiou to settle in the northern part of the ialamt, rerolted, and were not reduced to subjection until March 11, 1798. Th most alarming outbreak, however, took place on tha 22d of December, 1831, when the island waa placed under martial law, and most stringent measures and numerous executions followed.

The diacloeure referred to were made at a special meeting of the Cborltou Board of Guardians with a view to bringing them to the notice of the Corporation, snd, if necesssry, of Sir George Grsr. th Home Secretary.

He bad come to the ooocluaion that the ceases of these caea of fever were dae to the palpable neglect of the most ordinary laws of health, and that they wer to a great extent removaMe. He pointed out among other source of pestilence ths Cora brook, the rivsr Medlock, sod th Bridgewater Canal, which were made th receptacles of the greater part of the sewage from the districts through which they ran. Another cause ted to backhouses, houses having no back doers, cellar dwellings, pigities, cess pool long unemptied, ana Imperfect drainage, lie pointed out some of the wont localities of this character by name.

It is from Todmordeu, aad professes to givs some information ia regard to the acclesi astieal and social eoudition oi' our town. It contains statements of a most extraordinary character, aod sack as bar naturally excited some little surprise among our neighbours, and not a little indignation among ourselves. Seeing that, throoi the Kediani of voor columns, these statements have beea circulated all over our country, may ss aa inhabitant of Todmorden, and as one who take seme little interest in its affairs, be allowed to say a word ia regard to them Tour correspondent says thai toaruuf Todmordeu contain 16,000 souls, that it haa bad its pariah church cloesd for 30 years, that all this time the people bare gene astrsr like lost sheep, thai numbers have growu up aabaptised, that many lire together without marriage, that tbe Established Church is nearly forrotten here, and that Dissent, (hielly Unitariaaiam, ia the chief religion of th ptaea." Now, Sir, after reading this statement you will be sorne whst startled to bear that these 16.0U0 souls, who, for lack of a Church parson, bare been growing up all these years unmarried aod anbaptixed, and not knowing so much a whether there be an Established Church, possess ia connexion with that Church not fewer than Sr fabrics, and not fewer than ftre parsons, aod this, not including those churchwardens who, for lack of a parson, are doisg duty preaching themselves, no man making them afraid siid yet thia is tbs simpl fact.

The matter ia thus: Todmordeu is not so mneh the name of a town as of a district. This district is ander th gorernment of a local board. On. portiou of it fcriiT lies in the parish of Rochdale, in Lancashire, and the otbw TSalTHsaA faea. tMltoTS? portiou lies IU in pansu 01 naiuax.
