LUCIA.
Saint Lucia .-- The Palladium states that affairs are becoming worse every day with the planters.

Their properties are left without labourers to work them; their buildings broken into, stores and produce stolen, ground provisions destroyed, stock robbed, and they themselves insulted and laughed at.
On Saturday night, the Commissary of Police arrived in town from the third and fourth districts, with some twenty or thirty prisoners, who had been convicted before the Chief Justice of having assaulted the police in the execution of their duty, and sent to gaol.
"It has been deemed necessary to call for military aid with a view of humbling the high and extravagant ideas entertained by the ex-apprentices upon the independence of their present condition; thirty-six men of the first West India regiment, and twelve of the seventy-fourth have been accordingly despatched; the detachment embarked yesterday on board Mr.Muter's schooner, the Louisa, to land at Soufriere, and march into the interior." In both the above cases where the military was called out, the provocation was given by the white.

And in both cases it was afterwards granted to be needless.

Indeed, in the quelling of one of these factitious rebellions, the prisoners taken were two white men, and one of them a manager.
