SEPTEMBER 24, 1853. anxiety for the arrival of Sir Henry Barkly, the new governor, when it was expected tl►at the Legislature would be formally prorogued, in order to get rid of the Assembly's reselution to do no busineas with the Council, and the real business of the aesmon would be proceeded with. The clergy had addressed Sir Charles Grey on his retirement from the government of the island. and his excellency had replied in !suitable terms. The weather had been for some time °massively hot, even for Jamaica. The sugar crops were excellent, compared with the previous year, but the pimento crops were a total failure. The sugar crops of next year were expected to show a falling off. The yellow fever was not so virulent us it had been; but was still lingering in Kingston. THE CHINES} REBELLION. By the last overland mail a few additional par tienlars have transpired respecting the progress of the rebellion in China. It is known that the reliefs have greatly strengthened the eommanding position which they hold, and it is reported that they have pushed a considerable part of their force further rig the north, and are not likely to delay longer than the termination of the hot weather pushing forward to Pekin. It is believed the chief city of the province of Kiangsi is now in their possession. Further than issuing proclamations the Imperial tiovernment seems to do nothing. Amoy still con tinues in the posseesion of the insurgents, by whom it was taken ; and, although these men have neither the ability nor the means at their comun►and possessed by the insurgents in the north, the Imperialist troops have failed in their endeavours to repossess themselves of the city. Canton still re *mins quiet, but, from the disaffected feelings of the people in and around it, it would be no matter of surprise were the people of that city to rise up and strive out the present authorities. It appears clear that many years will elapse before the country is again brought into a state of quietude, and until that is done trade will be expected to remain on a most precarious and dangerous footing. At. Shanghae the result of the intestine troubles of the country has developed into a eomplete stagna tion of trade. Stocks amounting to &million sterling in value had accumulated in the merchants hands. and were quite unsaleable. Kir ti. Bonham had been memorialised on the subject, with a r►quest that he would proottre the retiivsion of the import duty levied by the Imperial Government, but had &ebbed to interfere. By millets from the Manritins we learn that it was proposed to establish a line of steamers from that island to Suez. This, when the railroad acmes the Isthmus of Suez is completed, will open another and still more expeditions mute to Aus tralia. A colonial bank had been establisle tl in connection with the tioventment, and would shortly commence operations. The sugar crop had nearly closed, and proves to be more pmitictive than that of last year ; the returns giving filololl,lllllllbs.agßinst rwi,milmonlbe in lttll'2. As the demand for lalsour Gall continued, it was intended to carry out an arrangement for the immediate importation of 10,000 Kadin+.
