The New York market on the Bth inst. was steady, with sales of 1,500 bales. The decrease at al! the Southern ports, c.

Some of those who fixed their estimates a few months since as high as 3,150.000 to 3,200,000 bales, have felt themselves constrained to reduce their figures to an estimate of about 2,950,000 bales, which, however, at about 60 dols. per bale, will yield a larger sum than the whole supply last year.

The causes that led to their aban donment were altogether independent of emancipation, as was p roved bef ire the parliamentary committee on West Indian affairs. The result, however, has been that a con siderable annual sum was withdrawn from circulation; for estimating that only £2,000, a low average, expended every year on each estate, for the cost of labour, we have £600,000 no longer circulating, year by year, in the trade of the colony as wages for work, in consequence of the reduction of sugar culture on estates. Add £200,000 far coffee plantations abandoned, and there is a sum of £BOO,OOO annually no longer representing the industry of the plantation labourer. This loss of a market for wages would alone furnish a sufficient reason why the people cannot give as much as they formerly did, for the support cf churches, during the period when they had no other outlet for their savings or earning', or contribute more for educational purposes. With a reduced trade to constitute a revenue through the customs, the island is encumbered by a heavy debt. That debt was created by a vicious local legislature refusing the ordinary supplies, and saddling the public with official debts to the amount of £200,000, besides £300,000 ex pended in unproductive schemes of immigration, to replace the labour of the emancipated peasantry when the abandoned estates were daily throwing considerable numbers of unemployed labourers upon the market. The funded debt is £500,000, whilst the revenue to meet it, and to provide for the current expenses of government, is derived from a tax of 121 per cent. ad valorem on the invoice of imported goods. The calami les which have overtaken the island must also not be lost sight of. Seven years of drought, commencing in 1840, completed the ruin of the sugar planters, pre cipitated by the Sugar Duties Act of 1846. In 1850, 1851, and 1853, cholera, and, in the intervals, small-pox and influenza, diminished the population by at least 00,000 out of 400,000 Let any unbiassed person take these facts into consideration, and he will, we think, admit that Jamaica and its population have nobly sus tained and come triumphantly out of, an unprecedented struggle.

Tus C AL IFORNIAN Pim—The everlasting question , f "is this good pen" has been answered by Mr. E. T. Hall, of South John street, who has succeeded in tiroducing a metallic pen, which he designates, not inaptly, as above. There is hardly anything more annoying than a bad pen—every one knows the misery. The pen made by Mr. Hall, is fit for any hand to use ;light or heavy), and what is of the greatest value, it does not corrode, but will work with equal facility in any ink. From experience of metallic pens, we say that this one, which is polished as cold, find will last nearly as long, is the best one we have ever used.--Northern Times. One bok, tontaining slx dozen pens, sent free. on receipt of Cs 6d in postare stamps.

The supply of means will emanate from the Anti-Vermin Office in this town, and what with our own experience, after a fair trial, and the united testimony of others as to the real utility of Mr Grcer's Anti- Vermin preparations, we feel assured their introduction to London and Manchester will there be esteemed a boon like to what th-y have been in Liverpool, where, happily, their discovery first originated. It will be seen from our advertising columns, that Mr. John L. S ravens, 86,„, Tower Hill, London, is the appointed agent for London, and adjaci+ , eiamties, and Mr. George WEstmacott, chemist, 4, Marks* Manchester, is the appointed agent for that city, of whe -- .
