The accounts of the crops in the various colonies,
received by the Thames, are highly satisfactory. From
Demerara it is said that the weather was then very
f r sugar-malin/ ; and, there being abundance of
labour at low rates, the planters were in high spirits,
and anticipated a greatly increased crop for the
I present year.
From Barbadoes an " unusual quantity" of sugar is
reported as shipped for the time of year, so favourable
had been the weather for getting on with the crop.
0 Up to yesterday ( March 19) there have been ship-
ped to the United Kingdom 6,468 hogsheads, 283
tierces, and 341 barrels, and the barque Islander will
mil 0-morrow with a full cargo."
From St. Lucia it is said that the weather conti-
nues fair ; the crop progresses cheerfully ; the cane
will yield an unusually large proportion of sugar, of
fair quality.

turday woe well filled. The royal box was occupied by the
Duke and Duchess of Montpenster, Queen Chnstina, and
their suite. The perform• r. c 'mist of a company of come-
dian. and a troop of Spanish dancers. The former are net
sufficiently good to laugh with, and not sufficiently bed to
laugh at. The latter, consisting of some 16 or 20 artistes,
are excellent .a their line. The performance of boleros,
me/luau, tambourine, and oilier national dances, was
reorient with raptures of applause and frequently encored.
The execution was full of vigour, vitality, and natural grace,
though not certainly the same spices of grace as is wit.
nerved at the Queen's Theatre and the Grand Opera. The
national dances are really national. The eachuces and
boleros which the public have seen performed by Eder and
other., have the same relatiu to the dances whose names
they bear a. the pa.torals of Pope or the eclogues of Virgil
have to the actual character, language, and manners of the
