To determine the value of the testimony of the missionaries in this case it is important to know the nature of their influence upon the laborers touching the question of wages.

We are happily furnished with the required information from their own lips and pens in the Jamaica papers.

W.KNIBB'S ADVICE TO THE NEGROES.
MEETING AT THE "SUFFIELD SCHOOL-ROOM." On Friday evening last we attended the suffield School-room, in this town, which, at an early hour was crowded with apprentices and head people, from upwards of twenty properties, who had met for the purpose of receiving advice from the Rev.Wm.Knibb, and Special Justice Lyon, respecting the course of conduct it will be necessary for them to adopt, on taking their stand in society as freemen.

Several gentlemen connected with the commercial and agricultural interests of the parish were present on the occasion.
The Rev.W.Knibb commenced by saying, that he attended a meeting of a similar nature at Wilberforce Chapel, on the preceding evening.

He had thought it better to request the attendance this evening of the head people, who being the more intelligent would be able to explain to others, the advice which they would now receive themselves.
