WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS.

The Royal Mail Company's steam ship La Plata,
Captain Weller, with the above mails, arrived off the
Netuy Hospital yesterday afternoon about 2.30. She brings
175 passengers; specie, value 1,200,906 dole., of which
amount 712,471 dole. is gold, 481,860 dole. silver, 3,500 dots.
pearls, 2,400 dela. jewellery, and 625 dole. platina.
There bad been a long continuum of drought throughout
the islands, from Itarbadoes to St. Croix, and the planters
were apprehensive for the next year's crops : this, with
the low prices, caused considerable anxiety. The planters,
however, look forward to a reduction of the sugar duties by
the Chancellor of the Exchequer next year.
At Jamaica the 10th Juoe was a general holiday, in cele-
bration of the birthday of her Majesty. In all parts of the
island there were demonstrations in honour of the occasion.
Considerable anxiety was felt as to who would be the next
governor of the colony. Business was unusually dull in all
departments of trade. In some districts good crops of
coffee and pimento were locked for, but serious apprehen-
sion were entertained as to the belt year's sugar crops.
A large fire occurred at Demerara or. the 17th ; property
to the extent of 60,000 dollars was destroyed. Business was
still stagnant, without prospect of improvement. The pro-
duce market was most depressed. Freights were scarce, the
rainy season having put a atop to manufacturing operations.
The import market was well supplied with all kinds of
American broaden& and provisions.
Considerable activity prevailed at Cuba in the laying out
of new property and the erection of steam machinery. It
is said that upwards of 25,000 eaves, per Africa, bad been
imported into Cuba during the last year. When a cargo
arrives, the slaves are distributed over the plantation and
the vassal burnt. There are only three small vessels to
guard a line of coast of 1,500 to 2,000 miles. Great fears
were entertained in Havana that the sugar crop would
prove a failure, and that not more than ball the estimated
