The House of Assemble was prorogued by the go-
vernor on the 23rd. his excellency made a long
speech on the occasion. in which, while commending
some of the acts of the legislature, he as decidedly
condemned others. The cholera still lingered in Ja-
maica. It had appeared iu several localities which
have been hitherto exempt. At Mountain Valley the
people have refused to bury the dead.
The Kinystosi Ailrertieer of May 24, says: The
tains which hare visited us for the last week may
be said to be almost universal, and we may con-
gratulate the country on the appearance of the May
serious. In St. James. Trelawacy, and particularly
in St. Ann's, there have been very tine and continu-
ous showers._ _ .

The. Trinidad papers also speak in enthral:lde
terms of the weather and the crops. The mime

Our Paris correspondent writes :
The latest news, dated May Is, received at Havre
from St. Domingo, represents Soulouque as remons-
trating in a friendly and pacific tone with the Do-
minican republic ; so that French intervention will
probably not be required. The above is the same data
as that of the news received by the Africa.

METROPOLITAN ADROCIATION FOR IMPROVING TUE
DWELLINGS urns IXDUITILIOUSCLASIIIII.—The seventh
-Weal meeting of this society was held on Saturday, at
Willie-room. air Ralph Howard, in the chair. In his
address to the shareholders the chairman commented on the
various statements of the printed report which had been dis-
tributed, and while he admitted and lamented the fact that
the society's establishment for single men, in Albert-street,
Spitalfields, had not hitherto obtained a =anent number
of inmates and become a self-supporting concern, since 120
only out of 134 rooms had been taken, he strongly. advised
the shareholders to continue their exertions, since the
Sumo position of the association, though at present un-
satisfactory, was evidently tending to more satisfactory re-
sults. After a few words from Lord Ebrington, Dr. South-
wood Smith rose to advocate the self-supporting character
of the institution, and to comment on a comae paragraph
in the report which discourages the declaration of a divi-
dend. Dr. Smith was of opinion that estaldhemants like
these of this association ought not to be dimities, thuegh
comaasaged in a charitable spirit, bet that they aught to
