WEST INDIES.

We add the following items of news from the
Jamaica papers, brought rii New York by the
Pacific.

In the parish of Westmoreland the deaths from cholera
were quite numerous. The disease here seems to do he
work quicker than it did before (the editor says).
Heath follows hard on the attack. In the parish of
Hanover, from 31st ult. to 11th inst., there had been
thirteen deaths, making an aggregate of forty since
its appearance at Sandy Bay. At Blue Hole five
Mal cams occurred on the night of the 2nd inst.
Upwaids of twenty cases arc now under treatment,
most of them of a desperate nature (says the Journal).
At Mayleratield and Friendship, the scourge was
alarmingly fatal, attacking every estate on the banks
of the Cabaritto River. At Mesopotamia there had
been ten deaths, and one at Blackheath. The dis-
ease also exists at the Mint and King's Valley,
Grange Hill, Lincoln, Big Bridge, and Savanna-la-
Mar. A place culled the •• Admiral's Pen" had been
given up by the governor for the use of orphans,
rendered such by the prevalence of cholera in the
parish of St. Andrew. The Journal states there are
no fewer than 300 of these recently bereft of their
parents by that awful disease. In Trelawny the
complaint had become epidemic.
The West India mail steam-ship Trent, Clarke,
arrived at l'ort Royal on the 12th ult. from Vera
Cruz, after a run of bye days. She brought from
Mexico no news of importance. On the same day
the Trent left for St. Thomas and Southampton with
twelve passengers. Her Majesty's steam-ship Avon,
Lieutenant Crawford, arrived at Jamaica, from Grey-
town, on the 2nd ult., in four days. Her accounts
also were unimportant. The West India mail steam-
ship Conway, Woolly, arrived on the Bth from St.
Thomas; also, her Majebty's ship Apollo, after a run
of fifty-six days from Malta, with the 16th Regiment.
On the Bth the Conway left fur Vera Cruz.
The governor-general had further prorogued the
parliament until the 15th of July. Upwards of 250
negnass had arrived in the island by the ship Bran-
don, from Sierra Leose. Many of her passengers
were afflicted with small-pox, and she had been
ordered into quarantine. Subsequently selections
were made by the attorneys and owners of proper-
ties in the interior of the parish. A second cargo
was also expected, being part of a captured French
slaver's complement. Floc weather for the growing
crops had been experienced. Lute accounts from
Liverpool and London had again been received at
Port Royal rid New York; the news taken out by
the Conway arrived just after similar dates bad been
received by the United States route.
'llse following notice had been issued at Nassau,
New Providence:

THE BRITISH CoNstL IN CALIFORNIA.—The
California says: '"Mr. Akin, a gentleman who has resided
in this country for some time, lies been appointed British
consul, and it is somewhat surprising that the English go-
vernment. usually so watchful of their commercial in-
terests all over the world, should have neglected
so long to appoint a consul for this station. Gen.
Miller, at the Sandwich Islands, has for years been
consul-general of England in the Pacific, and the
presence at Honolulu, as his heed quarters, shows the fore-
men with which the British government calculated that it
would one day become the key 04 the Pacific, a centre point
for the trait and commerce of the two hemispheres. When
Best Francine became the centre of attraction, about two
=ego General 'Miller appointed Mr. Forbes. of the
tis Clan mines, then resident in this city, to be vice-
consul in this port, until the national government might
determine as to making it is separate consular appointment
der this station. Mr. Forbes was too much engrossed with
his mining avocations to attend to the duties of his office, and
laving resigned nearly two years ago, the British interests
have not had the advautage of consular representation in this
place. It is of considerable consequence, in our intercourse
sad commerce with foreign nations, that they should be thus
hisitisnately and officially presented;re but much of the ad-
wentme will depend on the qualifications of the gentleman
appointed to this very critical and important office. When
our Admiralty Courts are opened, the British consul will
have his hands full, to attend to the multifarious cases con-
nected with British shipping in this port. his emoluments
and fees will doubtless be very considerable. One of the
most important duties a consul has to perform is his annual
and statistical report of the trade and resourcee, the eons-
mercial Mathias and laws of the country in which he lives.
In this country Mr. Atkin will have a fine field for the ex-
ercise of the various qualifications which the situation re-
quires, and especially for giving, in his reports to his go-
vernment, a full and correct statistical return."
Tlfv. GALWAY PACKET STATION.—The affair of
the North America is the only topic of conversation in Ire-
land for the present. A great deal of honest indignation is
expended on the subject ; but, as was to be expected, It is
directed rather against those who are supposed to have used
corruption to defeat the project, than against the Yankee
speculators who sold the cause. The treeing Mail says:
" Such a disappointment happening at a juncture when a
different result was so desirable (or the signal exposure of
the government commissioners and their report, is pecu-
liarly vexatious. It is by no means incredible, indeed, that
the simultaneous publication of that disgraceful document
end stoppage of the steam-boat may have been intimately
emmeeted with each other. But we see no cause for Ireland
liedespde es that account. In the efforts that are made to
ibliewari bar of the natural advantages which belong to her
she may read the apprehensionsof her enemies on
=lets of the Atlantic ocean. They would not bestow
so =eh ingenuity, oe expend so much money to prevent
the truth et their remersings being submitted to the test of
a fW piasrlmsto,ll they were not thoroughly conscious of
the gibehood and weak:nor of their cause. The stoppage,
thundery, of this vessel we regard as a sort of plea of ant-
llsosina, inviting us to proceed, nor give up the hope of a
sainewful issue, until the general public of both hernis-
rairshall have ample grounds for pronouncing • final
edjeee st."—The Freeman's Journal affects not to think
se inefously of the matter after all. The experiment was so
for only a private speculation on which we had no right to
miseinte too much, but now that it hes been defeated in
