LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, —This DAY ain very During the last three days the weather here was ag wet and unsettled : the accounts from Ireland being equally unfavourable, several buyers appeared thence yesterday, when rather considerable purchases of Oatmeal were made at im proving rates ; and with some transactions also in Wheat and Flour, both were held at very full prices. Accordingly as further quantit es of Wheat and Oatmeal are still in course of shipment to Ireland, and more likely to be required weekly up to, if not beyond harvest, our receipts from that quarter have become perfectly insignificant : of Wheat, Malt, and Beans, however, we have a tolerable supply in coastwise ; while with several arrivals since Friday the import of foreign Wheat amounts to 7552 qrs., and of Flour to nearly 16,000 barrels, the major part of the latter, being from Canada, and subject only to 31d. per brl. duty, will aid the wants of con sumers for the moment. Having a tolerable number of town and country millers this morning, the trade for free Wheats opened extremely firm, and a tolerable extent of business was done at an ad vance, in most instances, of Id. to 2d. per 701bs. on the cur rency of Tuesday last ; the improvement, however, was not generally established, , some holders accepting the rates pre viously noted. Of bonded Wheats, also, a few parcels changed hands, at our quotations. Flour, duty-paid, moved off rather freely, and an amend ment of 6d per barrel was partially realised ; some parcels in bond have been sold also on rather higher terms. Barley, attended with a good demand, was 2d. to 3d. per 601bs. dearer. Malt, dull of sale, and rather lower. Beans obtained ls. per quarter over late, and Peas supported former prices. Oats, although not in lively request, were more saleable than last week, at an amendment of Id per 451b5.; and Oat meal continued to meet a good demand at an advance of ls. per 2401bs ARRIVALS OF CORN, From the 141 h to the 20th July, 1640, inclusive Beans. . .

(Concluded from our last) THE SOIL The soil is a rich alluvial deposit and is the same to any depth, which requires no manuring, and every thing of vege table nature grows with the greatest luxuriance. Sugar and coffee being the principal articles raised for exportation, pay ing exceedingly well at the prices they now bring in the British market, it is not to be wondered at that the whole resources of the colony are directed to them alone. EXPORTS wise. Whe qrs. ; Rye meal, 102 I Average I Wheat 68-s Wheat.. 67, Wheat 18s Beans, LONDON CORN EXCHANGE -YESTERDAY At this critical season of the year nothing can be of greater importance to those interested in the corn trade, than the obtaining correct information respecting the probable pro dace of the ensuing harvest, and having been favoured with many interesting reports from various parts of the country, we deem it our duty to lay the result of the same before our correspondents. In consequence of the long and almost uninterrupted suc cession of heavy rains which fell during the autumn months, the land was so saturated with moisture that much difficulty was experienced even in the drier districts, in putting the wheat into the ground, whilst large breadths of low lands could not be sown until spring. Owing to this cause, and the continuance of very dry weather during spring which prevented the plants from " stocking," the autumn sown wheat is everywhere described as being thin on the ground, and very irregular. Indeed, the complaints on this point from some of the western parts of the kingdom, where the seed had been sprouted, are truly distressing. Having care fully considered the various authentic reports of our corre spondents, as well as the results of our own observation, we are compelled to come to the conclusion that the wheat crop, even with the most propitious weather, will be found to be Blow an average produce. The weather during the past week having been favourable for the crops, most of the country markets are reported by our correspondents as having been dull, but as the supplies were moderate, the recent advance was generally established, and as many of the country averages are considerably higher, our anticipations of a deficiency in the wheat crop seems to be fairly borne out. considerabl: There was a fair supply of wheat from Essex at this morn ing's market, but from Kent and other counties the quantity offering was very moderate, and having a good demand both from town millers and speculators the finest samples were speedily cleared off at an advance of from ls. to 2s. per quarter on the prices of this day se'nnight. The arrivals of foreign wheat during the past week were large, and this article was held firmly at advanced prices in anticipation of a low duty ; ship flour experienced a fair demand, at an ad vance of ls., and the top price of town-made flour was esta blished at 655. per sack ; of English barley there was little offering, but we had a fair supply of foreign. much of which however remains in bond, and the few samples of free barley fully supported last week's quotations ; malt, of fine quality, being scarce, obtained an advance of Is. per quarter. We had a large arrival of foreign oats, which were, in most cases, offered free, but sales could not be effected except at a reduction of from fid. to ls. per quarter on last Monday's quotations. Beans moved off at former prices, and peas in some instances realised a trifling advance. The weather to day is showery and unsettled.

Hosty, Esq., coroner, Dr. Turner, and A. Lowry, Esq., Sub-Inspector, had the body lifted up ; it was wrapped in a coarse sheet, and in a state of decomposition ; had a slight fracture on the skull, and the vertibre of the neck dislocated, which left little doubt of his having been murdered. Several old persons residing in the neighbour hood were examined, all of whom deposed that they never heard of any person being murdered in that neighbourhood. That several years must have elapsed since the occurrence, is manifest from several sods of turf having been cut over the remains. An inquest was held and a verdict of murder re turned against some person or persons unknown.—Tetani Herald. POSTAGE REDUCED TO THREE FARTHINGS !—The postage covers are now to be had for ninepenee per dozen. This has been effected by the novel plan adopted by some of our en terprising publishing booksellers of using the post-office penny covers as a medium for issuing gen era l a d vertisements, as well as noti ces o f publications connected with the trade. The profit on the advertisements, together with the advantage of an increased publicity to the books issued by the publisher , afford an adequate com p en sation to the ven d er . In this way , the public are gainers to the extent of twenty-five per cent. on the Government price of the stamps. The plan ha s b een as yet only partially tried, but in the event of its more gene ral adoption—a result which seems all but certain—a gratui tous circulation of the penny postage covers may reasonably be anticipated as the effect of increased competition. The penny postage scheme of Rowland Hill will thus be turned into a universal free postage! What next ?—Scottiah Pilot. EMIORATION TO BRITISH GUIANA AND TRINIDAD POLITICS There is but little noise about politics, as there are but a few offices within the gift of the people. However, there is existing in Guiana, as well as all other British dependencies, a law excluding all persons not born under the British flag from being eligible to office. However, every man stands on an equality in the eye of the law. All criminal cases are tried by a court of three judges and three assessors ; the assessors are chosen on the spot, from the tax-payers, without regard to colour. The only distinction in society is education, character, and wealth, for the higher walks—then gradations down, accord ing to condition, &c. Agriculturists'are in great demand. Every plantation that we were upon (which were many) wanted from forty to fifty hands to carry on the cultivation already in operation. The present cultivation does not extend from the principal sea ports over twenty miles in the interior, and on both sides of those beautiful rivers, the Essequibo, Demerara, and Berbice, many advantages are offered to industrious and en terprising capitalists, who would embark in the cultivation of vegetables, and rearing feathered as well as other stock for market, which would snake, at present, a handsome return to the undertaker. The government land, according to law, is put up, upon application, at five dollars per acre, and is published in the papers ; if no one applies to 'over-bid that sum, it is then transferred at that price. WAGES PAID FOR LABOURERS AND MECHANICS.— The field labour is similar to working in corn-fields, and is done by task of so many feet or yards. The price for each task is 331 cents, which, upon most estates, can be done in four or five hours. We saw a young woman at an estate called " Success," on the island of Lagatm, finish her se cond task by twelve o'clock, and did not appear at all fatigued. In answer to a question put to her by us, that she could do three tasks every day, said if she felt inclined after dinner, she would do another task. We left her to visit several other estates, and returned about half-past five in the afternoon, and learned from her own lips, that she had done the third task about half an hour ; the sun at this time being full half-hour high ; besides, each family has a comfortable cottage to live in, containing generally two rooms on the. first floor, and one above, with as much ground attached as they can cultivate in vegetables, and the doctor's bill for attending all on the estates paid by the proprietor. Ott many estates are very fine schools, and would be many more, could persons be found competent to the undertaking. There are at present a great many churches in every direc tion, and would be many more, should it be required, as every profession is tolerated and encouraged. • Carpenters are in much demand, as well as many other tradesmen. The wages given is from 1 dollar to I dollar 25 cents ; but we are informed by many master mechanics, that if our people would. emigrate there, they would command higher wages, as they had been informed that our workmen could do a great deal more work in a day than theirs. Every estate presents quite an imposing appearance. The sugar works being very large, and all the machinery pro pelled by steam-engines ; the proprietors, mantwers and overseers' houses are very fine buildings ; the handsome cottages for the labourers, now being built on an improved plan, averaging from 30 to GO in number, gives them the ap pearance of a considerable village. In going through the country, we had occasion to inquire of the planter, what encouragement he would give to a num ber of agriculturists who would undertake to cultivate any amount of land already in cultivation, upon shares. It ap peared to meet their entire approbation ; but before our de parture from the colony, we put certain questions to the Emigration Committee in writing, upon that subject, as well as others, all of which were promptly answered. QUESTIONS PUT TO THE COMMITTEE BY YOUR DELEGATES, AND THEIR ANSWERS : Demerara, February 26. 1840. To the Gentlemen composing the Voluntary Subscription Emigration Society. Sirs,—We, the undersigned, do respectfully ask the fol lowing questions :- 1. Will the emigrants coming into this colony from the United States have the right of choosing their employers, without restraint or drawback from them for passage money, &c.? 2. What do the gentlemen composing this society think of the plan of cultivating certain cane-fields upon shares : that is to say, take said fields, after being cut, and keeping up the cultivation and delivery of the canes at the works ? 3. What portion of the produce should the undertaker re ceive as his reward? 4.. If bringing on new fields, what quota of the produce should he receive? 5. Should the undertaker want advances in money, on what terms could he procure it ? 6. Should the emigrants bring with them their furniture, and provisions for their own use, will the same be subject to duty ? If so, please present us with a tariff of duties on such articles ? With due respect, we remain, gentlemen, Your most obedient and humble servants, NATHANIEL PECK, THOMAS S. PRICE. BRITISH GUIANA Extract from the Minutes of the Proceedings of the Direc tors of the Voluntary Subscription Emigration Society, held at the Public Buildings, in Georgetown , Demarara. Monday, March 2, 1840. The Board resolved that the following answers to the questions contained in the letter of Messrs. Peck and Price, be communicated to those gentlemen. 1. Will the emigrants from the United States have the pri vilege to choose their employers, without restraint or draw back for passage-money, &c. ? Answer.—Emigrants arriving here from the United States or elsewhere, are free to select their employers. They will be superintended by the government emigration agent, whose duty it will be to aid them, when they desire it, in the selec tion; to give them every information as to the localities of the colony, the rate of wages, the nature of the employment, and all other matters in which they are interested. The passage money and expenses of maintenance during the voyage, will be paid for by this society, for all labouring emigrants, whether agricultural or mechanical, and no draw back for them, in any way whatever, will be made. 2. What do the society think of the plan of cultivating canefields on shares, viz., to give over the fields after being cut—the undertakers to keep up the cultivation, and deliver the canes at the works ? Answer.—The plan here suggested has the society's entire approbation. 3. What portion of the produce should the undertakers receive as reward? Answer.—The society have to observe that the proportion of the produce to be given to the cultivators, would, in the first place, depend on the arrangement to be entered into between them and the proprietor of the land ; which arrange ment, in the second place, will materially depend on the na ture of the soil, the state of the cultivation, the condition of the drainage, and other local circumstances of the estate. The society, therefore, cannot declare the proportion definitely. but they give their opinion, that not less than one-third of the gross produce of the land would be the remuneration to the cultivators. The proprietor, however, should have the option of paying the value thereof, in money, at cash market price, or according to arrangement. 4. If undertaking new fields, what quota should be re ceived ? Answer.—Not less than half of the gross produce for the first crop, and one-third for the succeeding crops. These remunerations to be free of deductions. 5. Should the undertaker wantadvances in money, on what terms could he procure it ? Answer.—The Board observes that, in their opinion, no difficulty would arise in procuring advances of money from time to time from the proprietor, having reference to the progress in quality and quantity of the work undertaken ; but this would also form a part of the arrangement between the cultivator and proprietor. 6. Should emigrants bring out with them their house fur niture, and provisions for their own use, will the same be subject to duty ? If so, please present us with a tariff, &c. Answer.—Beds and bedding and cooking utensils, would be considered passengers' baggage, and not liable to duty. With regard to household furniture and provisions, the board directs the following tariff of Queen's duty on articles from the United States, and a list of those free of duty, to be fur nished to the delegates. Household furniture, 15 per cent. ad val. Flour, ss. per brl. Beef, pork, hams and bacon, 12s. per cwt. Sausages 7 per cent. ad val. Cheese and butter 15 per cent. ad val. Corn, meal, biscuit, pease, beans, potatoes, corn, oats, hay, rice, fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, feathered stock, free of duty. Salt fish prohibited altogether. (A true extract.) THOMAS BAGOT, Secretary. It may not be amiss to give you what information we ga thered as to the amount of sugar that an acre will produce on land that has been in cultivation for thirty or forty years, without manuring. The estimated amount is from 2550 lbs. to 3400 lbs. and at the prices it brought to the planter at the time we were there, was from 6to 7 dollars per hundred. At the lowest quantity and price, it would yield 153 dollars per acre. At the largest amount, 3400 lbs.- at 7 cents., it would yield 238 dollars ; besides the rum and molasses ; which, at the prices it was then bringing, say - from 30 to 40 cents. per gallon, (taking the average quantity and price to the acre,) would be about 60 dollars more; and thirty hands can keep up the cultivation of 100 acres. Now we think the agricul turist has everything to gain and nothing to lose. Labourers about the wharfs and shipping, can earn 1 dollar per day throughout the year. Brick and potters' chi are to be found everywhere in the greatest abundance. The bricks now in use (which are imported) . are worth 20 dollars per thousand. There are no potteries in the colony, nor did we see any stone-ware while there. _ -~ B Boat-bnilders and wood-cutters are in much demand, as well as those who understand sawing ship-timber, &c. Washwomen, nurses , and sempstresses are in demand, and 1 dollar per dozen is paid for washing clothing. It may not be unacceptable to the reader to learn the prices of some articles, that he may know how to govern himslf. House rent, about 100 per cent higher than in Baltimore. Furniture, about the same. Flour from 11 to 13 dollars per barrel. Hams, from 16 to 20 cents per pound. Veal and mutton very scarce ; 25 to 30 cents per pound. Fresh pork, 20 to 25 cents per pound, scarce. Beef, 16 cents, and plenty. Butter, from 50 to 60 cents per pound. Coffee 25 to 30 cents per pound. Tea, Ito 2 dollars per pound. Brown sugar, p2 l6 otuo c v en . ts per pound. Rice, 50 cents per gallon. Sperm candles, 67 cents per poun d. Dipped, 16 to 20 cents per Chickens, Ito 1 dollar 50 cents per pair. Geese , dollars 50 cents each. Turkeys, from 3to 5 dollars each..,e Vegetables, such as grow in this country, very high. of the of all the above articles are by retail ; but in steade high pric b • disadvantage, we look upon them as a decided advantage esein to a the enterprising producer ; for it is the scarcity of those articles, such as fowls, &c., that t c h a r u n se t t h h e o ir se a l t i t i e g n h ti i o n n ic t e os . f Let there be a sufficient number to prices. and our word for it, urnishing those articles for market, they down c t rot fail to succeed in making money, and bringin , r Clothing of every bringing reach chheaper than in this country. Fuel, in town, is within the n at many places, as low as 8 cents worth, the poorest ; is sold and is only used for cooking. On plantations, it can be tad h for the trouble of i r l i l ce ti s , i s o f co v u a t r i i t o r t y i s , cutting it. Therefore, although the hi articles of food, may, at the first glance, appear discouraging to the emigrant, yet we do not hesitate to P c are, that they are reduced even below the level of prices - when we consider that in Guiana, the labourers on the plan tations, have neither house - rent , doctors' charges or school ing for his children to pay ; while the ex pense of fuel is saved, and the cost of clothing diminished more than one- half. But in order to give a clear and distinct view of th e co l ony and its resources, let us imagine a large and extensive coun try, with the most luxuriant soil, capable of producing every.. thing that grows in a tropical region, and that all the cultiva tion is confined to the borders of the sea-coast, or along the margin of three mighty rivers. The first in order, and the largest and most important, is blo for 2M miloa at the mouth tan!' the two beautiful ialemle, Legaun and the Eseeqtabo, Odell Is nev Wakanaam, which alone are capable of receiving an addition of many thousand emigrants. The Arabian coast, the ac knowledged garden spot of the colony, is we believe, equally, if not more healthy than Baltimore. This coast, which is in a high state of cultivation, is now prepared to receive an ad dition of some thousand emigrants ; who would be at once in comfortable situations. The next river is the Demerara, upon which, near the en trance, stands Georgetown, the capital of the colony, and the principal sea-port. This river runs in a serpentine course into the interior, to a very great extent. The cultivation, bending o❑ this river, does not extend more than twenty miles from the principal sea-port. _ _ The Berbice river is tLe next, but not the least, it runs nearly parallel with the two former, but to a greater extent than the latter. The cultivation on this river does not extend from the port of shipment (which is New Amsterdam, in Berbice) over twelve miles. Hence, it is easy to discover the many advantages that this country possesses in a great de gree for the enterprising agriculturalist. A large amount of the very best land is lying idle, and a great portion, (thousands of acres, bordering on those rivers, where vessels of 230 tons can ascend for at least 200 miles,) is entirely without cultivation. The inviting aspect of the country is at once observable to any one having the most cd ideas of agriculture. contract The timber upon ibis laud is of the most precious kind, and is suitable for furniture, as it is susceptible of a very high polish. There are several establishments in the interior for cutting and exporting this timber, with several steam saw mills, to convert it into plank,-&c. . .

" Messrs. Nathaniel Peck and Thomas S. Price. " Dear Sirs,—ln reply to your inquiry respecting tl►e price of land in Essequibo, 1 beg leave to say, that to parties who would engage to erect dwellings, and settle ou Great Troolie Island, where I have about 1200 acres, of a soil equal to any in the colony, and superior to a greater part of it, I would now sell at from 15 dollars to 40 dollars per acre, in propor tion to the distance from the water side. This land 1 would engage to afford the means of drainage, by one or more ko kers, as might be found requisite ; the drains to be made and kept free by the purchasers. _ _ _ " The laud f have reference to is cn the windward or east side of the island ; has been in former times in cultivation, and could be drained and again put in cultivation at much less expense than new land with heavy wood upon it. Should the purchasers be disposed to provide kokers for drainage for themselves, a deduction of 25 per cent. could be made from the price named. The laud on the leeward side of the island, which has never been in cultivation, I would sell at from 10 to 30 dollars per acre, in proportion to its distance from the water side, thg_purchasers draining it themselves. I should not be disposed'to make a commencement of a sale in this way unless fifty acres could be sold at once, and iu lots of not less than five acres, and the pui chasers to be bound to enclose their respective lots by a fence or trench, sufficiently wide to answer the purpose of confining within their own limits any live-stock they might keep. My terms would be one-half the purchase money on giving possession and title, and the other half in two equal annual instalments, say in one and two years. The latter half might be paid in agricultural labour, at the current rate of wages, if agreeable to the purchaser. " The offer hereby made, I should consider binding on me until twenty thousand emigrants have arrived here after this date, or .at any rate for twelve months from date, unless I made a sale of the whole, in the meantime, to one party. This right I am not willing to shut myself out of. Remaining, dear sirs, your very obedient servant, " CHARLES BENJAMIN." On the afternoon of the 10th of March, every thing being ready, we took our departure from Gecrgetown, on board the steam-packet, Captain Lunn, for Grenada. We arrived at Grenada, after a passage of fifty-six hours, on the night of the 12th, procured lodgings, and at the end of four days procured passage in a small sloop, the Governor Doyle, for Trinidad, where he arrived on the night of the 17th • pro cured lodging, by the assistance of a f r ie n d, an d the next morning walked out early ; returned to breakfast, and learned that Messrs. Bushe, Losh, and Johnson, had called to see us. Shortly after, we met them on the street; they wel comed us to Trinidad, and Mr. Bushe invited us to his dwelling. It was now arranged that we should be accommo dated with conveyance to the country on the 20th. We spent the two days in town, to the best advantage, in order to find out as many of the emigrants as possible, who had come out in the Metamora and Archer, and to learn from them how they liked the island. We met three or four, who had re mained in town ; they gave rather an unfavourable account of it. As they were mechanics, they no doubt went out with rather too high-wrought expectations. Their complaint was, that they did not receive as much for their labour, per day, as they did in the United States, and their board was high ; tradesmen were not in demand. These persons were all un known to us, except one, whom Mr. Peck knew; therefore we could not rely entirely upon what we heard. Early on the morning of the 20th, by the kindness of Messrs. Bushe and Losh, we were furnished with a horse and gig, and proceeded through a delightful part of the country, and were accompanied by those gentlemen. After travelling obout six miles, we stopped at Mr. Jackson's, who received us in the kindest manner. He is the proprietor of an exten sive plantation. Ile invited us to breakfast the next morn ing, and to take a look at anoth er p or ti on o f th e i s l an d. After spending a short time here, we again set out four or five miles further, to one of Mr. Bushe's estates, where we breakfasted. Here we saw a number of the emigrants, and conversed with them ; some few were dissatisfied. The reasons they gave for it were these :—That they sold their furniture in the States, for little or nothing ; and when they went to purchase there, they found every thing much higher than in this country. The churches being a good distance froin some of them, was another cause of complaint; others, with the price of provisions. We endeavoured to convince them of the necessity of undergoing - some difficulty and privations, which is a sure attendant upon all such changes ; but although we did not see as many advantages as we had witnessed in Guiana, yet this island possesses many advantages over the United States, for the industrious man of colour. At this place we met two carpenters from New York, who said they were satisfied, and were doing well. We went further on to another of Mr. Bushe's estates, where there were more of the emigrants, who appeared to be in better spirits ; in fact, they appeared .determined to sur mount all temporary difficulties, and show what can be done. They had planted gardens of many vegetables ; such as grow in this country, and they appear to be thriving. Corn grows luxuriantly, and three crops a year can be had from the same field. After spending a considerable time here we returned to town, highly gratified. By invitation, we dined with Mr. Bushe, where we met several gentlemen, who gave us every encouragement to emigrate to that island. The next day, through the kindness of Messrs. Bushe and Losh, we were furnished with horses ; a young gentleman also accompanied us. We started to fulfil an engagement with Mr. Jackson, where we arrived in a short time, and then rode with him through his extensive plantation, which, like all others, is in want, of labourers to keep up the cultivation. After breakfast, our horses being ready, we set out through a beautiful valley to a cocoa plantation, owned by Mr. Jackson. It is a delightful retreat, with a fine house upon it ; this he offers to any respectable party upon advantageous terms — either to sell, lease, or work it upon shares. On the same property, is erected a mill, turned by water, to grind arrow root, for starch. This place has been in arrow-root, and would take but little trouble to cultivate it again. After spending an agreeable time, we took leave of our friend, and. arrived in town before sunset. The next day, being Sunday, breakfasted with Mr. Bustle ; while there, were waited upon by a committee of four gentle men, requesting us to prolong our visit, in order to partake of a public dinner, which they tendered us. The list shown us, was signed by some of the most respectable and wealthy of the citizens ; but as we were then circumstanced, having made arrangements with a captain, in conjunction with Messrs. Smith and Shorter, (who were delegates from Ana polls) we could not revoke our engagement to start. Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock, set sail from Trinidad in the sloop Phoebe, for St. Thomas, in order to get paSs4e home, as there are seldom vessels direct from this port to the United States. We arrived at St. Thomas, the Sunday fol lowing. On Tuesday, 31st March, sailed from St. Thomas in the brig Norfolk, Captain Matthews, for Philadelphia, where we arrived on the 11th of April. PRICES OF ARTICLES, AND PRICES GIVEN TO FIELD LABOURERS.—The price per task is 50 cents, and three tasks has and can b e d one by the American emigrant. Flour, 11 to 13 dollars per barrel. Bacon, 16 to 20 cents per pound. Fresh Beef, 10 cents per pound. Brown sugar, 12 1-2 cents per pound. Butter, 50 to 60 cents per pound. Coffee, 25 to 30 cents per pound. Tea, Ito 2 dollars per pound. Veal and Mutton, 20 to 25 cents per pound, and scarce. Fowls, 1 50 to 2 dollars per pair. Geese, 1 50 to 2 dollars each. Turkeys, 1 50 to 2 50 each. The great difference between Guiana and Trinidad is very perceptible upon the estates. In Guiana, every estate has the appearance of a manufacturing village. In Trinidad, the works, &c. upon estates are on a very small scale, and the lack of that animation and life which is everywhere found in Guiana at the time of making sugar. In Guiana all the works are propelled by steam-engines, and the mill is fed by the same power. The workman's labour is lightened in many ways by it., In Trinidad most of the works are propelled by mules, or water, and the manual labour is greater. The labourers' cottages, in general, are much more spacious and comfortable in Guiana, than .those, now in use in Trinidad. In conclusion, we muhesitatingly.,say,.that Trinidad is a fine and beautiful island, and possesses many advantages to the agriculturist, over the United States, but is in want of but few, if any mechanics. As there appears a desire among many persons to know whether we intend to settle in either of those places, and which of the two we preferred, we thought it advisable to get through with the report to the public meetings, before we declare our intentions. We now declare our preference for Guiana NATHANIEL PECK IHOMAS S. PRICE. VESSEL BURNT AT SEA, AND PROVIDENTIAL PRESERVA TION OF THE CREW.—The Sardinian brig Telemachus, Capt. t S o u b v o e a o s n h y,Genoa, J b u o n u e n , d w e tnh about bßrazils,was equator.d discovered v er The e d fire fromn the ls t captain and crew, after endeavouring to . extinguish the fire, finding that, instead of diminishing, it gamed on them, turned their thoughts towards their own safety, and hoisting out their boats (two in number) bade adieu to their ill-fated craft. After experiencing for five days and nights the horrors which the uncertainty of their final safety from their-immense distance from land would naturally create, they were, on the 6th, in lat. 5 N., long. 27 27, picked up in a very weak state (by their long exposure to the air and their cramped situa tion) by the Orient, Captain William Taylor, from Sydney, New South Wales, (since arrived in the Downs,) and received all the attention which they required and Captain Taylor was able to render them. Thus thirteen human lives, after suffering the worst of sea perils, have, under Providence, been safely returned to their families. It is heedless to say that, with the exception of what the men had on at the time in the shape of clothes, they have saved nothing. PAGANINI.—" The will of Paganini has been op e ned at Genoa, says says a letter from that pla ce i n the Debate, `` and the following account of its contents is given as authentic. The greater Part of the fortune consists in h ouses an d lands ; the remainder is in the, funds in France, England, an d Na ples. The total amount has been officially estimated at 1,700,000 francs, which is said to be rather an under than an over estimate. Paganini has left to his eld es t s i ster the life interest of a capital of 75,000 francs, which is, after her death, to be divided equally between her sons and daughters. To his youngest sister he has left a life interest of 50,000 francs, on similar conditions ; to a lady of Lucca, whose name the will declares is not to be mentioned, he has left 6000 francs a-year for life, and to the mother of his son 1200 francs a-year for life. This lady is not a Jewess, as h gttllB a i esi during s 8 e eig e lldaat n :ch d g ae generally placed n, singer,st ia e n ral ge .

EXTRAORDINARY AND ROMANTIC SUICIDI On Thursday an inquest was held at the Newbold Inn, Leamington, on the bodies of two young women which had been found in the river Learn. irst witness examined was J a porter, w etated that as he was proceeding to his work On Wednesday he found two bonnets and a shawl near the milldam of Mr. Oldham's mill. He immediately gave information of the discovery, end the river was dragged without delay. The result was the further discovery, first of the body of Eliza beth Varney, a married woman, aged 21, whose husband had lately enlisted as a soldier; and then that of Ann Smith, aged 18. No marks of violence were discoverable on either, and it was observed that their clothes appeared to have been selected and put on with studied neat Robin;, the father of Elizabeth Varney, stated that since the enlistment of her husband she had been in an un settled state of mind, and could not be persuaded to remain at home. On the morning after her death he received a let ter, which he now produced. He had not seen her for a fortnight. _ Jane Crump stated, that deceased had taken lodgings with her when she left her father and that a per s o n n am ed Wm. Southam, whom she believed at first to be her husband, joined her there in the evening. On discovering the true nature of the connexion, she gave them notice to quit. Southam left on Sunday; and Varney continued there until Tuesday even ing, when she went out, and never afterwards returned. De ceased was engaged several hours in writing on the Tuesday. George Whorrall deposed, that on Tuesday evening Varney had said to him in a jocular manner, as he thought, " I shall drown myself to-night." The girl in his company, who was suppose& to be Ann Smith, had said the same thing in the same tone. Varney was inquiring for Southain, who was believed to he keeping out of the way. William 'Wells, a servant out of place, saw the two deceased together on Tuesday night. The elder asked him to fasten her gown. She seemed flurried, and there was something melancholy in her laugh. They both on leaving him took a direction towards the mill. It was proved in evidence that Smith also had become melancholy after being visited by a young man named George Jackson, and that she had been heard to say, " It will goon and on until I kill myself." She had borne an irreproachable character. The jury returned a verdict of " Found drowned PORT PHILIP, SOUTH AUSTRALIA We have been permitted to make the following extracts from a private letter, dated " Ship John Bull, Port Philip, January 27, 1840 " I am glad to inform you that we arrived here on Tues day, the 22d instant, after a pleasant voyage, not having had any rough weather since we passed the Canary Islands. Our passengers are all on shore, except about a dozen. They all got places directly we arrived : the single females get about £2O a-year—the men about £.lO or £5O, that is, farm ser vants, &c.; clerks about £100; carpenters, &c. 'l2s. 6d. a-day. Every one seems to be making their fortunes fast. Fourteen acres of land that was bought a year ago, sold for £lOOO. Melbourne is pleasantly situated on the Yarrayarra, and contains about 7000 inhabitants. It has a very commo dious harbour, and large enough to allow any vessel in the English navy to ride in perfect safety. We are anchored about one mile from Williamstown (which is situated at the most northerly extremity of the harbour), and about four from Melbourne. I suppose we shall not be allowed to go on shore much, as they are afraid of us running away ; in deed, it is almost impossible for any one to leave the ship, as there is always an officer on the poop, and one of the ap rentices on the forecastle head : but, for all that, we ex pect we shall lose all the men yet before we leave. I suppose we are to go to Bombay from here with a cargo, though for what reason I do not at present know, and thence to Liverpool, which will very much shorten the voyage. The captain has bought a lot of land here, and is coming out with his family after we return to E ng l an d. Th e w i n d is always blowing from the south, and is generally pretty fresh. The country quite charms us, but it is very low about the beach, and therefore very sandy ; but, I suppose, further in, the land is very good. Kangaroos are very plentiful GO miles in, and mocking birds, paroquets, &c., are to be' hot ashore. Every thing is very dear here; two rooms.-two guineas weekly; ls. 6d. fcr a bed. Every settler, not a working man, who comes out here, should provide himself with either a tent or a house in frame. I should prefer -the former, both as taking up less root]] in the ship's hold, or in your own berth while you are in the ship, and because they fetch a good price here ; one of the intermediate passengers brought one from London, cost £7 altogether, and here they are 50 guineas. I would also advise them to bring out a few carpenter's tools; spades, nails, &c., and as many pieces of duck, for trousers, &c., as possible, as clothes are very dear here. The Yarrayarra is a most beautiful river; the inha bitants are very independent, and understand the fashions as well as any Cockney. Hunting coats, worn without waist coats, and with a broad shining leather belt, with a large brass buckle, are " quite colonial:" white moleskin trousers and a Manilla hat, very much like my China hat, although some have a brim three times as broad. • There are two newspapers, the Gazette and another. I hope to have the pleasure of sending you one before I leave. There are lots of mosquitos here, and a fly about three times as large as the one you have in England. * * * I have had u very warm winter, though it is not so warm as I expected. ** * I am sitting here, at four in the afternoon, with port, door, hatch, and every thing open, in nothing but a striped shirt and duck trousers,—is it not comfortable ?"—Manchester paper. STATE OF TRADE LEED3.—The markets .since our last have been rather better than of late, but the aggregate quantity of business transacted falls far short of what is usually done at this sea son in ordinary years. BRADFORD MARKET.—There was not so numerous an attendance of merchants at our market on Thursday, as we have been accustomed to see at this season of the year ; still the demand for manufactured goods was nearly as extensive as could have been expected in the present state of the com mercial world, and prices were considered firm. In the yarn market scarcely an average business was done at former rates. The wool market is far from firm, and in the present uncer tain state of the wool trade the demand is by no means exten sive. In•the course of a fortnight, after the principal wool markets have been held, something like an accurate idea of the wool trade may be formed, as regards the rate of prices. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.—This market exhibited much the same unsatisfactory aspect as for some weeks past. There were a few buyers who made extensive purchases, but prices still remain very unsatisfactory ; and,, generally speaking, the demand is very limited. In light summer goods the de mand is greatly lessened, owing to the cold unsettled state of the weather. In wools there is little doing, and prices are nominal, and will remain so until the new clip is brought to market. In the warehouses, there is no change for the better. HECKMONDWIKE BLANKET HALL.—We have no better account to give of the state of trade in this business, the manufacturers cannot realize a living profit, and the demand is so contracted that a many looms are unemployed, with but little prospect of a favourable change. ROCHDALE MARKET, July 13.—We have had a duller market, if possible, than that of the preceding week. There have been very few buyers, and the business done has been limited in the extreme. Those who have been obliged to sell have also been compelled to take less money for their goods. Wools may be quoted a shade lower. YORK WooL MARKET, July 16.—We are again under the painful necessity of reporting no improvement either in demand or price of this staple commodity, but on the con trary, a further decline of something near to one halfpenny per lb. upon this day se'nnight's quotation, viz.—Super Hog, 13d., Good Half Hog and Ewe, 12d.. All Ewe, 10d to lid., Locks and Cots, 6d to Bd., Moor Wool, from 5d to 7d. per lb. • DONCASTER WOOL MARKET, July 11.—The supply of wool offering this day was again large, with a numerous attendance of buyers. The business done in the morning was rather flat, but it rallied again, and eventually the mar ket was cleared of wool early. The following are the quota tions :—Hog Wool, 15s to 15s 6d. ; Hog and Ewe, 13s to 14s 6d. ; Ewe, 12s 6d. to 13s 6d. ; Locks, is to Bs.
