The contest now 'twixt Whigs and Tories Is past, whilst each successful glories ; And, true, we have a mighty notion, That ended Is the great commotion. Now it is strange amidst the fuss, Which certainly amuses us, To find that HYAM'S still retain Amidst the world so great a name ! Go ask the Whig—go ask the Tory, What tradesman has the greatest glory ? The answer is, we vouch it clear, Why, HYAM'S first in every sphere. And why is this ? Why all protest His clothing is the very best; See for yourselves, and with surprise, You scarcely will believe your eyes. His cut, his fit, his style and make, Precedence will at all times take ; Whilst sterling goodness, lengthened wear, Proclaim that standard clothes are here, The Hosiery, Hat, and Outfit Department, recently added to this Establishment, is now complete, containing a well-selected stock of Shirts, Gloves, Hose, Handkerchiefs, &c. &c.

ESTHE R DE V ILLARS. - Th e p ar ti e s in this action have al rea d y fi gured before t h e public at Marlborough -street P o li ce - court. The plaintiff, Benja min Ellam, a shopman, who dated his epistles to the de fendant, Mademoiselle Esther de Villars, from the " Commander-in-Chief 's -office," brought his present suit (at the Bloomsbury County Court yesterday) to recover 151., alleged to have been lent to get goods from the Custom-house. The defendant, who was accom panied by her sister, Leoline de Villars, who had also figured at the police-court, attended to deny her lia bility, and, after waiting from the sitting of the court till five o'clock, the plaintiff did net make his appear ance. Mr. De la Mare, a solicitor, on the part of the defend ant, applied for an award of compensation from the plaintiff to the defendant. The plaintiff had not at• tended, and he thought he had acted wisely for once in his life. • The Learned Judge said he was atithdrised by the Act to award a sum for attendance of the defendant. He wished to know if she was in court ? Mademoiselle Esther made her appearance, and her solicitor, alluding to her swollen face, said she had been attending the whole day at great inconvenience from indisposition. 'Tie Learned Judge asked the amount of the debt? Mr. De la Mare said the claim was 151., alleged to have been lent. The Learned Judge—Does she admit any part of it? Mr. 1)e la Mare—Oh no, not any. He referred to the 79th section of the 9th and 10th Viet., c. 95, by which the Court was authorised to award a sum for the trouble and attendance of the defendant. It was stated that t.le plaintiff not having attended to urge his suit, the professional adviser for the de fendant had paid the fees of hearing to enable him to make the present application. The defendant's sister Leoline and another person had attended as her wit nesses. The Court awarded 1/. to the defendant for her at tendance bt sides costs, and ordered the cause to be struck out of the list. _ _ _ By the order made, the plaintiff, in default of pay ment, will be proceeded againg; the order made being by the section declared to be in the nature ofa judgment recovered. ASCENT OF .. M ....E. GALES BALLOON SINCE ITS RE CENT RECOVERY. —The announcement that Mr. Gale would make another aerial trip with the identical b a ll oon that escaped a few weeks since at Glasgow, and de seceded at Brandon, in Northumberland, drew together, on Tuesday afternoon, a large assemblage of spectators at the Rosherville Gardens, near Gravesend, where the truant machine proudly lifted its vast proportions with all the brightness and grandeur that characterised its first exhibition. The visitors, who were happily grouped in large and small parties on the green lawn, bolt cliff, warlike tower, and other picturesque places of resort and promenade, watched with no small atten tion the process of inflation, which, owing to some acci dental obstruction in the gas-pipe, did not proceed so rapidly as was necessary for the carrying out of Mr. Gale's varied evolutions in mid air. The difficulty, however, was, in a measure, met by the aeronaut's de termination to use only a single car, which was accord ingly adjusted for the purpose of ascertaining the as cedding power of the balloon, which was little more than half full of gas. Fortunately it was found sufficiently light to lift with Mr. Gale, Mr. Henry Coxwell, of aeronautic celebrity, together with some fireworks, and a fair share of ballast. At about six o'clock the Prince of Wales was liberated, and rose majestically over the gardens, when the aeronauts bowed their acknow ledgments to several rounds of hearty cheers. At an altitude of about half a mile a grand salute was fired in honour of the Duchess of Kent's birthday, the smoke and reports of which created wonderment and admira tion. The balloon then entered a cloud, but soon re turned within view of the spectators, and hovered for at least twenty minutes over Gravesend. After remaining up for half an hour the balloon descended safely at White Hill, near Cobham Park, and on the return of Mr. Gale and Mr. Coxwell, the spectators, both out side and inside the gardens,_ expressed their commenda tion at so unusual a spectacle. SIEGE OPERATIONS AT CHATHAM BEFORE GEN. SIR HARRY SMITH.—On Wednesday a grand display of siege operations took place beforo General Sir Harry Smith. A large number of the officers of the garrison were present, including the Commandant-Colonel James Simpson. The' operations were under the direction of Colonel Sir Fred. Smith. The operations commenced by an assault on Prince Henry's Bastion, the East India Company's men, with the Royal Artillery and line, being the defenders of the works assaulted under command of Captain Robertson. The attackers consisted of the Royal Sappers and Miners in charge of Captain M'Kerlie, R.E. The next operation was t h e construc tion of a pontoon bridge, which was ably and quic kl y formed under the dir ect i on of Captain F enw i c k, R.E., and Sir Harry Smith, w i th several off i cers an d l a die s , walked on it for some ti me. S ome fi e ld pieces with a number of artill er y- men were also taken across the bridge, which wa s remarkably steady. Thi s was fol lowed by the destr uct i on of a sunken b atter y o f five L and ie n one : eR a of n t 8 Wilkinson, I bs e the r guns, by mines con s i st i ng two of 601bs. o f pow der e a ch, man nerfi as would be adopt e d b y the defen d ers o f a place in destroying the breachi ng b atter i es o f the besiegers. and dg was being do u n under d in n r the the direction same The explosions followed each other in succession, and the effect was most magnificent, giving the greatest satisfaction to all present. Sir Harry Smith particularly expressed delight at the operation. The last operation was that of breaching a stoc k ade o f grea t s trength. A party of men, with l arge sap rollers, advanced to the stockade with a ch a rg e of powder, which they deposited by means of a hand- truc k aga i nst t h e b u ilding, when the first charge of 601 b. of gunpowder, pressed down with bags of sand, was fired, the effect of which was the destruction of several pieces of timber. At the other end of the stockade a charge of 1001 b. was placed, with out being pressed with bags of sand, which, by Bick ford's fusee, was timed f or a m i nu te or two, when an explosion took place, eff ect i ve ly c l ear ing an opening, by blowing down and breakin g ono o r two of the balks of timber, dislodging others, and scattering large splinters of wood in all directions. The operations being con eluded, General Sir Harry Smith paid a high compli ment to Colonel Sir Frederick Smith, and the engineer officers and men under his command. He had been highly pleased with the operations of the day. The Gallant General on riding off the ground, attended by his brother, Major Thomas Smith, was loudly cheered by the assembled troops. During the afternoon Sir Harry recognised several of his old campaigners, the wounded soldiers of the Sutlej, and entered tatniliarb• into con versation with them. In the evening General Sir Harry Smith dined with the commandant of the garrison, Colonel Simpson, at his residence at the Government house. Sir H. Smith intends leaving Chatham to-morrow.

THE GREAT WESTERN. - Yesterday the half-yearly meeting was held at the Bristol station; Mr. Charles Russell in the chair, sup ported by Viscount Barrington, Mr. F. B. Barlow, Mr. 11. Simmons, Mr. T. R. Guppy, Mr. J. Lean, Mr. E. Mills, Mr. W. Toshill, and Mr. Brunel, the engineer. There was a numerous attendance. The CHAIRMAN, in addressing the proprietors, said, under the pecuniary pressure that had recently prevailed in the money market, the distress caused by dearth, almost amounting to famine, and the difficulties that had attended not only upon railways, but on almost every other commercial enterprise in the country, gave him cause, he thought, to congratulate the proprietors on the result of their working during the last six months. There was nothing, he thought, so sensitive in seasons of national distress and of financial fluctuation, there was no surer barometer of commercial activity or of commercial stagnation than a railway; and he, there fore, thought that their receipts were, under the circum stances, extremely satisfactory.—(Cheers.) The length of line that had been opened during the last six months was exactly the same as that which had been opened during the corresponding period of 1846, and the number of passengers of all classes had during that period remained very much the same; their goods traffic had 'considerably increased.—(Cheers.) The general re ceipts of their revenue had advanced; not indeed in a very great degree, but to the extent of about 10,0001., demonstrating that, independently of the extraneous sources of property to which they might look when other lines were completed, that the traffic on that portion of their line which was already opened was still far from developed, and that under ordinary circumstances of national prosperity they might sately and fairly look still further for a considerable increase. —(Cheers.) Under all these circumstances the directors felt that they were perfectly justified in declaring a dividend at the rate of eight per cent. per annum.—(Cheers.) The Chairman then alluded at some length to the result of their Parliamentary proceedings in the last sessioh. They had most unexpcctedly lost their Windsor line, While th - at tine had been obtained by a company who had no legitimate claim to its possession. The South- Western, however, could only carry their line to Black pots, so that they were in reality almost as far from Windsor as the Great Western were at Slough. In ad dition to this, there was a strong and general feeling that great injustice had been done to the Great Western in the matter, and from what had since passed, they (the Great Western) did not entertain a doubt but that they would eventually carry their line to Wind-or. As a set-off to this loss, they had obtained the West London Extension to the City. The South-Western had carried their Exeter and Yeovil line through the Commons, but the Great Western, as they had done in a previous case, might beat them still in the Lords. They (the Great Western) more over, by their line from Hungerford to 'Westbury, and Castlecary to Taunton, had what was almost tanta mount to a competing line to this, and with the powers of the broad gauge, would be able to demonstrate that they were infinitely superior in speed, safety, tend every other attribute.—(Cheers.) On the Ist of September they would bring fresh improvements into play. They proposed to accelerate the speed of their ordinary trains, and by an alteration in their arrangements they hoped to be able to diminish the time in which more particu larly third-class passengers would be conveyed between the termini. He believed that the more the South- Western made aggressions to the west, the more they would he inflicting injury or. themselves. The i South- Western had hitherto acted o n th e o ff ens i ve . I t wa y now the turn of the Great Western, if they pleased to retaliate, and they might, if they saw fit, proceed from Basingstoke to Southampton and Portsmouth, the inhabitants of both which latter places were eagerly looking for it, to shorten their comtnunica tien with the south and north of England. Not a single instance could be found of an aggression of the Great Western on the South-Western, though so great a clamour was raised as to the aggressive policy of the Great Western. Mr. Hudson, the other day, had cast a stone of this kind from his sling, as though to warn the Great Western on the subject, but through all the wide extent of Mr. Hudson's dominions, he was at a loss to know one instance in which the Great Western had even touched or approached his sovereignty.— (Laughter.) How different, however, was it with Mr. Hudson, who, at the instigation of the London and North-Western and others, promoted several Bills that were direct aggressors on the Great Western district, besides buying up the Birmingham, and Gloucester, and Bristol lines at the very moment that the Great Western were negotiating for them. If Mr. Hudson meant what he said as the vehicle of a threat, the Great Western were well able to treat it with indifference ; if, on the other hand, he meant it in a spirit of peace, tl-ey were as perfectly ready to respond to it.—(Cheers.) lie con gratulated them on obtaining the Cheltenham and Oxford line, notwithstanding Mr. Glyn had congra tulated his constituents on having lost it, for it was most important to the Great Western in terests as connecting them more intimately with the south of Wales and the south of Ireland. In other respects they had succeeded in keeping what must become the broad gauge district intact. He re gretted he could not report any amicable adjustment of the Birmingham and Oxford; the only case, he believed, in which they could be charged with having adopted an aggressive line of policy, and this was not the case until they had been unceasingly attacked on their north both by the Midland and the then London and Birmingham. They bad agreed, as a last resort, to submit the matter to an amicable suit in Chancery; but although the de putations of both companies agreed to thi s , th e so li c it or for the dissentient shareholders in the Birmingham and Oxford and the solicitor of the London and North- Western totally disagreed to it, and the matter was abruptly broken off. They were further asked to sur render the right to appoint four directors to the dissen tient shareholders, but of course they could not consent. That question, therefore, remained as it was. In Oc tober the directors would take an opportunity of laying before the proprietors their prospects for the next ses sion. They would be as few as possible, and those that had been already passed would not be carried on with precipitation. What capital they required to complete their lines in progress they proposed raising by loan, on the security of the parent undertaking; and there could be no doubt of their obtaining the money at 5 per cent. His colleagues and himself were still ear nest, as they alway s h a d b een , f or peace , not on l y w i t h the Birmingham and Oxford, but all others; and when the disputed question of the Birmingham and Oxford was settled by some competent authority, he saw no in surmountable obstacle to the consummation of such a peace. If they came to some amicable and reasonable arrangement, if they pursued their projects prudently and progressively, there was ample room for all of them, and the resources of the extended, and still extend ing traffic of the country, were sufficient to maintain un impaired, not only with advantage to themselves, but the greatest advantage to the public, the prosperity of the irrespective undertakings.—(Loud applause.) Mr. C. A. SAUNDERS, the secretary, read the report, which stated— " That the passenger traffic had continued numerically about the same as in the corresponding period of 1846, although the income had diminished to the extent of 4,1001.; while the merchandise business, on the other hand, had, upon a similar comparison, increased both in tonnage and in receipts, viz.:— Tons conveyed.

The measures submitted to Parliament for dii:ect tines to Exeter were still left to be finally' disposed of the next session. The Committee of the house ef Com mons decided to give this company a direct line as far a: Castle Carey, and also to give to the Bristol an.. Exeter Company a broad gauge contin ua ti on f rom Castle Carey to join their line between Bridge. water and Taunton the whole scheme forming lir ri e l st e e r s rl aln or e one direct r a il way of .1721 mi/es between London and the E so x u e t te b r . . n C n o a m r m ro i w ttee ga r u e g po e rt l e i d ne i s n fa b v e o tw ur ee o n f Salisbury and Exeter (without thei • r contemplated branches), rejecting the counter projects of this com pany, in which state the Bills remain suspended for fur ther consideration in another Parliament. The railway from Oxford to Cheltenham, promoted by a company l • connexion with the G reat W estern, had been preferred n to the opposing scheme of the London and North- Western Company, between M arswort h and Chelten ham, which was rejected. In no case had success at tended any of those various projects in direct opposition to this company, which were attempted during the hat session by the Midland, or the London and North- Western Companies, and which it had been thought ex pedient to resist in their progress through Parliament, as injurious to the interests of the Great Western Com pany. The power to purchase the Birmingham, Wol verhampton, and Dudley Railway, and the confirmation of the agreement for that purchase, as well as of those of the Uxbridge and Wycombe lines had been obtained, with authority to make the Henley and Radstoke branches. The directors had given their best consideration to the steps which might be most advantageously taken in the way of augmenting their capital, by a new creation of shares, or of otherwise providing the funds necessary for the subscriptions authorised to other railway companies, and also towards the construction of new lines, or works; sanctioned by Parliament. The sub scriptions to other companies hitherto paid up had been advanced out of the general funds of the company, without any specific employment of the powers granted by those several Acts, which in each case enable the company either to create new shares of their own, or to raise the money by guarantee out of the corporate funds, or annual revenues of the Great Western Com pany, to persons who may advance the amount of such subscriptions. A resolution was to be proposed to the general meeting, for the purpose of sanctioning the issue of such guaranteed securities as may enable the direc tors to obtain the requisite funds for the subscriptions in question, without resorting at present to any creation of shares. The circumstances of the country and the iiioterfetotis seem teiricuircrity toire4 quire that, during the present pressure of the money market, as little outlay as possible should be incurred, and that the construction of new works should be re tarded and spread over a longer time rather than be ac celerated. It is intended to work the Great Western trains over the new line into Cheltenham in the course of next month, the rails for the broad gauge being al ready laid between Gloucester and Cheltenham, and the station at the latter place nearly completed. The ap proaching completion of the South Devon Railway to Plymouth would, it was predicted, open an entirely fresh source of traffic to the line, and add importantly to the income, by bringing that harbour and arsenal within an uninterrupted railway communication with the metropolis. It was proposed for the future to keep the whole locomotive stock (the cost of which at present amounts to 755,896/. 17s. 4d.), as a separate item in the capital account, showing the total sum expended from time to time, as plant for all the lines worked by the company, distinguished from the cost of the construction of the railway." Mr. BRUNEL, in reply to the Rev. Mr. Nicholson, said that the line to Newbury would be opened in the course of the year. A PROPRIETOR called attention to the large propor tion of revenue absorbed in legal expenses, and hoped the directors would do all in their power to reduce them. Mr. VOUZLEY complimented the directors on the course they had pursued in connexion with the Bir mingham and Oxford question. It would be unworthy on their part, having the right on their side, to succumb. Mr. LAWRENCE FIEYWORTII, of Liverpool, congratu lated the meeting on the satisfactoriness of the financial statement. lle deprecated the present contest in regard to the Birmingham and Oxford, and warned all the nar row gauge lines of this—that, as the Great Western had the most powerful means for conveying the traffic of the country, it must of necessity prevail. The country de manded, and the country would have it.—(Cheers.) They might as well attempt to stop the tide as to arrest the improving progress of the broad gauge. After some explanations from Mr. Crossthwaite, one of the auditors, with reference to the accounts, the re port was adopted, and a vote of thanks having been passed to the chairman and directors by acclamation, the meeting dispersed. SOUTHAMPTON AND DORCHESTER. The usual half-yearly general meeting of the share holders in this undertaking was held yesterday at the offices of the company, Nine Elms, Lord de Manley in in the chair. The report of the directors stated that the line had now been opened some months, and that the traffic had exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the promoters. The untoward accident which occurred to the tunnel soon after its completion and approval by Captain Coddington, the Government inspector, was the only thing which detracted from the general satisfac• •ion. An arrangement had been entered into with the London and South-Western Railway Company, by which that company became the sole proprietors of the line. The offer which had been made by the London and South-Western was a liberal one; and iu effecting the amalgamation, regard had been had to the comple• tion and efficiency of the line and to the interests of the shareholders. On the motion of the noble chairman the report was agreed to; and as this concluded the busi ness, the meeting, which was very scantily attended, se parated. MURDER OF THE DUCHESS OF PRASLIN. Our Paris letter of Wednesday contains the follow ing : " Between five and six o'clock this morning the Duchess of Praslin, daughter of Marshal Sebastiani, was discovered murdered in her bed in her hotel in the Faubourg St. Honore, eight doors from the Bri tish Embassy. " It appears that the Duchess returned to Paris yesterday evening only, in order to take with her to a watering place some of her children, whose exami nations at their respective schools had just concluded. This morning, between five and six o'clock, the femme de chambre of the Duchess was awoke by her lady's bell, znd instantly proceeded to her apartment, which she found secured within. After calling loudly and making ineffectual attempts to open the door, she called up other servants, who forced an entrance, and found the Duchess expiring in her bed. She had re ceived seven wounds from a poniard. The assassin, who is supposed to have known the house well, is be lieved to have escaped by leaping into the garden from the window of the Duchess's sleeping room, and which opens on the Champs Elysees. The victim was unable to utter a word before she expired. " An alarm was instantly given, and in a very short time the Procureur du Roi, the Prefect of Police, and a considerable number of the most intelligent police officers were on the spot, and took active measures for tracing the author of the crime. Every person found in the house, and everybody who entered it afterwards, were taken into custody. The efforts of the police have not, up to this moment (three o'clock p.m.), relaxed in the slightest degree. If human sagacity and energy can insure success, it is impos • ,ible that the assassin can escape. " Several rumours are afloat, to which, of course, I shall not give publicity. As no robbery was effected, murder only is believed to have been the intention of the perpetrator of this appalling crime. It is, among other reports, stated that the murder is a ' Corsican vengeance' (vendetta), but it is difficult to admit this this rumour, for there did not exist a more excellent woman, nor one more universally belovpd 4. .ti,- Duchess of Praslin. She was very handsome, the mother of nine children, who live to deplore her loss. i'he Duke is, it is said, at Plombieres (a watering place in the department of the Vosges). " Marshal Sebastiani left Paris only three days since for Corsica. A telegraphic dispatch has been sent to Marseilles to recall him to Paris.

She brings mails of the following dates : Demerara ' 19th July ; St. Jago de Cub a , 20 t h ; Tobago and Trinidad, 21st; Jamaica and Barbadoes, 24th ; Grenada, 25th ; Jacmel, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent, `26th; Dominique, Martinique, and Guade loupe, 27th ; Puerto Rico, Nevis, St. Kitts, Mont serrat, and Antigua, 28th ; Tortola, 29th ; St. Thomas's, 30th July ; and Fayal, August 12th. The Severn has arrived out of turn, in conse quence of breaking the cross-head of the air pump of the starboard engine, which, in the comparatively beereanb Railway; leemi I ea excitementnn eminently y i t s u w wc c i a l es l short period of three days, was repaired at Jamaica; Mr. Mintiply, the chief engineer of the Severn, and his staff, having undertaken the repair, in which they were assisted by some hands from the Jamaica induced accident the Severn exchanged duties with the Clyde, e th u e rre S d ev t e o r Severn the w l. which vessel would otherwise have been home with asClysidgeh;tetdhs, created-at esf b efs e uae seensholwn thate theseSouthamptonvceorn , s somethinge were e q x u er consequence exertions n o s oa nfdi thisha en the general regularity of the d this mail. The Clyde being thus expected, consi derable having i dis pelled, and the arrangement has prevented the possi bility of any detention to the mails. The Severn has made an excellent voyage of only nineteen days from St. Thomas, experiencing easterly winds and fine weather throughout, the breeze considerably increasing, however, from Fayal home. By this arrival we learn that her Majesty's ship Vindictive, Vice-Admiral Sir Francis Austin, K.C.8., and the Electra, were at Halifax, on the 24th of July; Thetis, at Madeira, on the 10th of August ; her Majesty's ship Endymion, Captain Courtenay, was at Antigua on the 28th of July ; her Majesty's schooner Viper, Lieutenant Com mander Hore, sailed from Falmouth, Jamaica, for St. Jago de Cuba, on the 18th of July ; her Ma jesty's brig Recruit, Commander A. Slade , was at Fayal -on the 12th o f A ugust ; her Majesty's steamer Sidon, Captain Henderson, arrived at Fayal on th e 12th o f August; for St. ' Michael's and Terceira : and the Severn spoke the French brig of war Cygne entering Fayal Roads. She also spoke the Dutch ship Japan, No. 482, on the 10th of August ; the English brig Pioneer, of Plymouth (Madeira to Labrador), out nine days, on the 14th of August ; American ship Remittance, of New York (New Orleans to Liverpool), out 47 days , on the 16th of August; and exchanged col ours with the bark Victor, and ship Thomas Sparkes, on the 10th of August; a French ship, showing a square red flag, with a white ring in the centre, at the main, and a red and blue burgee under her ensign, on the 14th of August ; Dutch bark Jacatra, on the 16th of August ; English bark Mandane, on the 17th of August; and left the following vessels at Jamaica : Brigs, Mary Russell and Peggy ; and barks; Lord Stanley, Calypso, Levant, and Young Queen. The Clyde having exchanged duties on arrival of the Severn at Jamaica, on the 16th of July, left on the following day for St. Martha, Carthagena, Chagres, and St. Juan Nicaragua. The Teviot arrived at Grenada on the 25th of July, and proceeded with the mails for St. Domingo, Jamaica, Havannah, and the Gulf of Mexico. The Reindeer proceeded to Tobago and Demerara; the Eagle to Trinidad. The Conway arrived at St. Thomas with the Demerara and Windward Island mails. The want of rain is still much felt throughout the West Indies, which renders the prospect of next year's crop uncertain. At Jamaica, no reduction whatever had taken place in the rates of freights since the departure of the previous mail. The quan tity of produce on hand for which no conveyance could be obtained, was exceedingly large, and freights were expected to keep up for some time to come. Throughout the Azores peace and quietness prevailed. Her Majesty's steamer Sidon, and brig Recruit, were to return from Fayal to Terceira, it was supposed, to await the arrival of troops from Portugal. _ • By this arrival we have our usual files of papers which confirm to a considerable extent the foregoing account of the weather. There are, however, some ex ceptions ; the rainy season had set in at Trinidad, and there was a prospect of its continuance, but a consider able quantity of produce was waiting for shipment. At Barbadoes, a favourable change in the weather had taken place, heavy rains had fallen, but the island was suffering from great scarcity and dearness of provisions. At Jamaica, the exceedingly dry state of the weather is confirmed. The dispatch states, that both the north and south sides of the island were alike in this respect. The grass fields in the neigh bourhood of Buff Bay present the yellow and parched appearance of the southern penns, and the plant canes are suffering severely. A heavy shower had fallen, but was of short duration, though there was the appearance of coming rain. Such dry weather had not been experienced on the mountains of St. George for many years. It is gratifying to state that it has not had any sensible effect on the coffee as yet ; the trees look remarkably well, and promise an abun dant blossom. c ' o ' n T ti l n ie ne w s e a a s th fa e v r en a r t Tobago,"ableasthe planters thenters could well desire. The land is refreshed with heavy showers, but not sufficiently heavy to obstru c t out d oor wor k , such as supplying and putting in plants ---operations so necessary at this season of the year, and for which the present state of the weather is so propitious. Sugar making is finished on many of the estates, and on most would have been so had the weather been good for planting. The canes left standing to supply plants will now be cut down, a id the crop for 1847 finished, which, we are happy in stating, will show a considerable increase on that of 1846."
