Governor Eyre's despatch, giving a very rambling and not very
clear account of the steps taken to put down the Jamaica rising, was published by Mr. Cardwell in last Saturday's Gazette. We have commented on it elsewhere, but may add that it has evidently pro- duced a very unfavourable impression on the country. Meetings have already been called iu Manchester, Liverpool, and Leeds, to protest against the terrible and needless violence of the Jamaica authorities. We trust that their tone will be carefully guarded, and that there will be no needless violence of language. Mr. Eyre is a man of singular personal gallantry and courage, whose remarkable antecedents, discussed elsewhere, should not be wholly forgotten. He has doubtless lost his head in the confusion and panic of many voices and much fear, but to personal danger he is absolutely insensible.
