TRINIDAD.—At the time the mail was despatched
the weather was rail very hot. There had been a fine clear
dry atmosphere for some days. The dry season was evidently
approaching. Vegetation wee in a healthy state, and
prospects of the planter for next year most favourable.
Trade was dull. In consequence of late accounts from
England a degree of hesitation in purchasing private bills of
exchange was apparent. Money was hard to be collected.
Bank exchange at 90 days was 480. Large quantities of
goods had recently arrived, and more were expected for the
Christmas trade. The shipments of produce for the year
were drawing to a close. The whole produce shipped up to
the 3rd of November is stated by the Trinidad Spectator as
follows :—Bagar 27,308 hhda., 1,999 trot., 5952 brie. Mo-
lasses : 11,290 Wilda., 349 trot. Rum: 879 puncheons.
Cocoa : 29,452 cwt., 1 qr., 21 lbs. Coffee : 1,042 cwt., 2 qrs.,
19 lbs. Cotton : 237 bales 41 seroons. ladigo, 34 swoons.
Only thirty immigrantaitad reached the island during the
interval between the packets, and these were all from the
neighbouring colonies. The Dalhousia,,,with Madeiran immi-
grants, was daily expected ; she was reported to be in the
Gulf, but the current wee supposed to be too strong spirt
her. The number of immigrants from tat January to le
November was :—Men, 1,744 ; women, 624 ; children, 322;
total, 2,691.
The legislative council had held only one meeting du*
the foresight, sad at that nothing but parish Wetness was
transacted. Mr. 24'Swiney gave notice that he would bring
I forward his sanitary measure again at next magas.
Mr. Curtis, engineer to the late Trinidad Railway
Company, had issued a prospectus of a oolenial compeay, to
carry out the lines of railway projected &tit:
