Effects of Emancipation. In the last Willmer and Smith's Times, we have an other evidence' of thc effects of emancipa tion in the British West India Islands: uBy the WestIndian mail we learn lhat our townsman, Mr. Jpsias Booker,' who is at present in the West Indies, has purchased , at Demerara the Plantation "Profit" for 5810,220.; Three other plan tations, the Greenfield, Eccles, and Hen- ry, were sold at. 5 the same time, they formerly belonged to Messrs. Glen, and cost jeiOO,000 sterling. The four only brought $32,380 or 6,750. Charleston Mercury. Mrs. Swett Convicted. Great ex citement has been stirred up, at Portland, Maine, by the trial of Mrs. Caroline M. Swett, for. a misdemeanor, in. breaking the windows, bottles, glasses, &c, &c, of one Cole, the keeper of a drinking shop in that ancient city. Mrs. Swett, it appears is is so. unfortunate as to be the wife of a man who has become the slave , of strong drink; we infer that his circumstances are good, and his position in life desirable, at trial he was gpokeu of as riding about in his carriage. Mrs. Swett following him Mbout, even far into night, also inti carriage; he seeking to escape her remonstrances, she fearing that he would commit suicide or meet with some fatal accident, while liquor robbed him of his senses. , 1 Mrs. S welt had often;. implored Cole not to let her husband have drink f at his shop; but it appears that on the day of the drinking she found Mr. SwettJ after long search, in the shop, with a glass of liquor in his hand. Ordering him out of the shop, she proceeded to make havoc among the crockery, of which she broke to the amount, perhaps (including liquors in the decanters and bottles) of a hundred dol Iars. The defence attempted .was, insanity public sympathies were universally in her favor, the iurv could not believe that she was actually out of her mind. They had to find her guilty, but added a written re quest that a lenient sentence might be pronounced. N. 1". Commercial dverthcr.

The French troons entered Rome on the 7th instant. The Roman Afssmblvt recommended the people to abstain from all acts of hostility towards them. Garibaldi, with 10,000 men, escaped, and made his way towards (Jarsoma, with the reputed intention of invading Naples. A detachment of the French arm)' went in pursuit.
