The accounts received from Jamaica by the way of New

York come down to the 27th of January. The number of plantations described as destroyed is 150; the loss of property is said to be 15,000,000/.; of the Blacks, 2,000 are described as killed, and 500 lied to the mountains. This is, on the face of it, a gross piece of exaggeration. Other accounts describe the Negroes who had not returned to work as about 500, but mention only five as having been shot (by court-martial) since the previous notices of the in- surrection. The country generally was quiet; but, by way of pre- caution, martial law had been prolonged for thirty days from the 23rd of January. One of the Negro leaders, named "Daddy Thrap," had been taken. The total European loss in the insurrec- tion, seems to have been twelve wounded, two of whom had died. There may be great loss; but where there is so little personal damage, the danger cannot be very great.
