follows t

Bridgetown, Sept. 28, 1852.
The fever is making great ravages here, instead of
abating it is inoreuing an all quarters, and some cases
of deaths take place after only two dap illness. At
the garrison it is inereseing very much—only two
Akers have died however. The family of Commivary
Neil are all down—father, mother, 8 children, nurse and
servant; two children have died, sad the rest are given over
by the doctors. Twenty-six, we hear, went into the hospi-
tal from the troops. Among the police it is shocking to
hear spounte of fever and death., as also amongst the citi-
zens, without respect to colour or wet, strangers or natives.
We were in hopes to have been aW to have written that
the disease was decreasing, but it is quite the contrary. The
weather is fearfully hot, and wind southerly. We an all

In St. Lucia a favourable change had taken places
in the weather, and the last remnant of this year's
crop had been shipped. Trade was much depressed.
The Palladiums (C.astrics) of Oct. 1, says :

Passing shower visited this part of the island on Wednes-
day, accompanied with the roar of thunder ; and yesterday
the lowering clouds in the east promised a good deal of rain,
but until now very little has fallen. The canes are falling
rapidly into the "sear and yellow leaf ; " and water is be-
coming Sc tree in some quarters. The thermometer ranges
no lower than 88 in the shade at 10 a.m.

In Antigua dry weather had succeeded the storm
of the 22nd of September.
The Weekly Intelligencer, of Oct. 5, says:

The weather during the past week has been rather dry,
ana planters are beginning to fear that, should an absence
of rain continue, the canes must suffer, not having yet re•
covered from the effects of the lot* wind, by which (espe-
cially those somewhat advanced) they were much broken
and injured on the occasion. The soil, in eonsequence of
the heavy rain which beat the earth close, has now become
hardened by the heat, and moisture is required to pulverise
it, to allow the roots to spread.

A fearful gale devastated the Virgin Islands, St.
Christopher's, Nevis, Antigua, Montserrat. Domingo,
Ouaduluupc, Martinique, and other islands on the
,22ner of September. Notice of the effect of this storm

at St. Thomas's was received by the last steamer,
the Orinoco. A great deal of damage was done to
the shipping and small craft, and on shore many
buildings had been injured.
The island of St. Thomas was very sickly. Thirty
of the troops had died within the three last months,
and a very large number had died amongst the crews
of the ships in the harbour.
Martinique and Guadaloupe had been visited with
a malignant African fever, which had carried off the
troops in great number., and whole families had
been carried off by it.
