SPAIN.

MADRID, Nov. 21.
Marshal Narvaex has been received at a private
audience by the Queen. lie has visited the Minister
of War and captain-general of Madrid. The begin-
ning of the sitting in the Chamber offered no inte-
rest. The proposition of M. Moyano for impeaching
;the ministers was expected to be read.

ITALY.
TUSCANY.

Our correspondent, writing from Florence on the
19th Nov., states that Signor Baroni, a distinguished
botanist, had been bastinadoed for stumbling against
an Austrian officer. The recent university restric-
tions excited much discontent, added to which the
Archbishop had prohibited the teaching of philo-
sophy in the seminary of Florence.

WEST INDIA MAIL.
JANIACA. _

The Jamaica papers contain nothing of importance
further than was given in the telegraphic summary
published in yesterday's Er»ress. When the packet
left Kingston the mails from England of the 2nd had
not arrived, owing to bad weather experienced by the
Dee on the outward Atlantic voyage, as previously
reported. The Trent, from St. Thomas's, was mo-
mentarily looked for. The legislature wes to assemble
in Spanish Town on the afternoon of the day on
which the steamer left Kingston.

BRITISH GUIANA.
In reference to the resolution passed in the Court
of Policy, and given in yesterday's paper, it may be
observed that a large amount of the parliamentary
loan remains unappropriated, and is therefore avail-
able for the purposes therein alluded to, under the
sanction of the home government. The governor had
laid before the Court several interesting communi-
cations from the British consul at (ho Azores, which
showed that there was an industrious agricul-
tural population of 250,000 souls in those islands,
and that the desire of emi"rating to distant lands in
the hope of bettering their condition was very
strong. In proof of this, it was stated that SAM of
these islanders are in the habit of annually emigrat-
ing to the Brazils. It was theretbre proposed to
take such steps with the British and Portuguese go-
vernments as to lead the way for encouraging emi-
gration from the Azores to British Guiana. Go-
vernor Darkly departed from Georgetown on the
16th ult., accompanied by his suite, ou a visit to the
penal settlement on the Nlassaroony River. Re-
garding the state of the colony, the Geo/lie/own
Ruyal Gazette says :

Some of the estates on the coasts have within the lad day
or two been considerably annoyed by the high springs,
which, iu some instances, have seriously jeopardised the
front dams. Yesterday the village of Victoria, on the cast
coast of Demerara, was under water from that cause. Facts
like these pointto the necessity of what Mr. TOOlO and some
gentlemen of the West India Committee have lately been
advocating—the placing of the drainage and the dams of the
colony under legislative control, with the view of providing,
what is so much wanted, a system of combined action for
their management. We are glad to say the yield of the
canes continues everywhere excellent, sad that the prospect
of the crop arc cheering. With the exception of what we
have just mentioned there is nothing new from the rural
districts, where everything, us usual, is quiet.

From Trinidad and the Leeward Islands there is
little news. In the former Island an ordinance for
supplying the town of Port of Spain with water was
belOre the council of government. Accounts from
the rural districts were not unfavourable. The
December cocoa crop had already commenced,
although it usually begins in November or Decem-
ber. The canes promised a good yield of sugar. The
state of the roads in some districts was not satisfac-
tory, and after a heavy rain they were in many
places impassable. The weather was still rainy and
stormy.
In St. Lucia the weather continued favourable to
agriculture, and the canes throughout the island were
beautiful and promising.
