Inequality of the surface of glass which bas been used for hot-Isms*
purposes. It is now a well-known fact that irregu-arities or heights
and dents on the surface of glass are found toast ma lens. concentrat-

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY, Four o'Cock.

By the arrival of the West India mail, which is
elsewhere announced, we are in possession of la'e
intelligence from all the islands. The weather had
been unusually favourable, and the prospects of the
Sugar crop continued most satisfactory. Much rain
had fallen since the close of June, and shocks of
earthquakes had been felt in several places. When
the Avon left Jamaica the weather was very sultry,
and with a cessation of the rainy season much sick-
ness was expected. We regret to add that in this
island dysentery had appeared, attended, in many
cases, with fatal results.

The following pamengers have arrived at South-
ampton by the Avon :

Mn. ?dacknight, Mks Malone, Rev. Mr. Ifardinee
and lady, and Mr. Pit.k, from Jamaica; Mr. Boscowitz
and Lieutenant Elwin, R.N., from St. Thomas; Cap-
tain Campbell, 71w Hiehlandetv, Mr. Blanc, Sir Robert
Schomberg and Mr. Holligan,Yrom Barhadoes ; Dr. Kally
and lady, from Madeira; Julge Firehrace, Mr. Goodman,
Mr. Dicky, Mr. Mathison, Mr. Muirhead, and Mr. 'lenzies
from Demerara; Sir Thomas Rags, R.N., and Mrs. Cum-
ming, from Trinidad ; Mr. Thorp, Mr. Lefehre, Mr. Lamar-
tlniere, Mr. Rene, Dr. Connell, Mr. Wemblag, and Mr.
Segond, from Guadaloupe; Dr. Coull and lady, Mr. William
Coull, and Mr. Hart, from Antigua; Mr. Black and son,
and Mr. Weeks from Nevis; Mr. French, from St. Kitts.

By the most recent accounts of the Royal Mail
Company's ships, the Dee was on her way from the
Gulf, and the Medway was at Mexico ; the Forth, at
Grenada ; the Severn, at Bermuda ; the Thames, at
Trinidad ; the Tweed, at the Spanish Main ; the
Reindeer, at Demerara ; and the Eagle, at St. Tho-
snas. Her Majesty's ships Rose, Endymion Alarm,
Daring, Electra, and Vesuvius were at Vera eruz.

From Jamaica papers we lean► the total loos of two
English vetsels on the Grand Cayman..l, viz, the
Rapid, Thomas, on the 20th June, and t'le Ocean
Queen, Welsh, on the 28th July. The following
particulars are given

" The Rapid, Captain R. Thomas, laden with sugar, rum,
wood, &e., from Port Maria, hound to London, was totally
wrecked on the 23d of Juno last on S. E. point, Caymans,
at 10 p.m., during very severe weather. The vessel coon
after bilged. One hundred puncheons of rum and several
hogsheads of sugar were SaV.A. The latter article was
taken out and placed in bags, the sea being high at the time,
and the boats not being large enough to hold the casks. It
was with much difficulty that the crew were saved. Captain
Thomas, as aeon as he and the crew arrived at Caymanas,
placed them on board various vessels hour d to London. and.
after settling his affairs, &c., he took his passage to Balti-
more in an American schooner. Captain Thomas was for
several years a trader to this Wand, and was well known
in this city. The vessel, we believe, was the property of
Messrs. Stews's. and Westmorland. of London.
"The Ocean Queen was from Black River, laden with
ginger, coffee, lotrwood, an 1 fustic. She was totally
wrecked on the 28th July, at four a m., on the east end of
Carman's, during very severe weather. The ginger and
coffee (about 90 casks of the former and 12 of the latter)
were saved, along with the crew, and taken to the Cay-
matms, and brought up to this port in the schooner
Lavinia."

The House of Assembly at Jamaica has been far-
ther prorogued to 6th Oct., by the Lieut.-Governor.
The anniversary of emancipation passed off without
any disturbances. The Coolies, according to the most
authentic accounts, continued to afford satisfaction to
their employers. Upon the subject of C ,oley labour
the Jamaica press is much divided. The following
is extracted from the Devatch
" So far from the class of Coolie labourers being judged of
by one or two ill-conducted members of it, they ought rather
to be judged of by the mass of those now resident among us.
In Vere we find the hill-side people labouring industriously,
happy, and contented, and we find them investing their
savings, to the amount of some eighty pounds at one time,
in the Kingston Savings' Bank. We find them also in Vere
and Clarendon supplying on such estates as have been
afforded the benefit of their labour, the blank
in cultivation which the August festivities have created. Tn
St. Mary's, scarcely a creole labourer has vet appeared in the
field ; but on those estates on which Coolies are settled, the
work of the properties have gone on without intaguption.
Are these, then. the people who are to be rundown day after
day to suit party purposes ? So far from it, that we deem it
the first duty of every friend to the country to support these
people against the clamour which has been raised for party
purposes against them, and we trust the time is not far dis-
tant when we shall find their number; trebled in our island.
The Northern Railway from Montego Ray to Port
Maria, Jamaica, is to be immediately carried out.
ACCOUNTS from Jamaica represent commercial
affairs to be embarrassed, or rather much impeded,
by the continued scarcity of money and want
of confidence. The exchange on London rated at
1 per cent. premium for bills at thirty days ; and
for sight bills ; Commissary bills t per cent only.
In the provision trade the effect was, that dealers
found a great difficulty in clearing off old
stocks, although the importation of foreign
comestibles was and had been comparatively light,
whilst of "ground provisions" the supply was esti-
mated at less than a six week's consumption.
