WEST INDIES.

The Royal West India Mail Packet Solent, Cap-
tain Sellicoe—Admiralty agent, Lieutenant Payne,
ILN.—arrived at Southampton yesterday, with the
West Indian and Mexican mails.
From Jamaica we learn that the Judicial Bill has
passed, and the Governor and Lady Barkly, Sir
Joshua and Lady Rowe go home in La Plata. Her
Majesty's ship Malacca has lost eight officers and 22
men from yellow fever, caught at Port-au-Prince In
April. All her crew are bolded at Port Royal, sinter
which no fresh cues have appeared: there are several
at the hospital not expected to recover; bat the re-
mainder are all convalescent. The assistant surgeon
of the Hermes, also, died of yellow fever. The cholera
has disappeared at Porto Rico, but small pox has
taken its place. At St. Thomas's the fever had set
in with the hot weather. The West India Islands
are otherwise generally healthy.
In Jamaica the damage done by the heavy rains is
much greater than had been anticipated. In cons*.
Tonne of the injury sustained by the Water Works,
end at the fountain head of the supply, the troom at
Up-Park Camp and the inhabitants of Kingston
suffered several days in consequence, and the pasture/
and cane-fields are full of promise.
In Demerara the weather had undergone a favour-
able change, and dysentery, which was very preva-
lent before the rain fell, had begun to decline. The
exports for the fortnight had been unusually limited.
Sugar-443 hogsheads, 29 tierces, 2 barrels. Rem-
-128 puncheons, 14 hogsheads,l2 barrels. Maumee-
-29 puncheons; greenheart, 9,000 feet; 214 asked
hider, 385 sheep-skins, 143 tons and 13 pieoes of old
metal. There were very few ships in the harborer.
Freights were low, produce scarce, and badmen
among the merchants very dell.
The ship Brothers had arrived at George Town,
from Fort Grande, Cape de Verde, with 182 immi-
gnats, natives of those islands. They are of a
very dark, swarthy complexion.
The trials of the persons concerned in the riots in
Demerara had been concluded. The jury found
John Sayers Orr (sometimes called the angel
Gabriel) guilty of creating an unlawful assem-
bly, and the prisoner was sentenced to he im-
prisoned for three years with hard labour; at the
expiration of that term to find sureties, himself
in 3001. and two sureties of 1601. each, for his
good behaviour for three years longer. Ose
man, named Backer, who is a person pommeled of
property and influence up the Demerara river, was
sentenced to three years' imprisonment with hard
labour, and to pay • fine of 1,000 dole. Another
ringleader was sentenced to a like term of imprison-
ment and to pay a fine of 600 dole. A third was ,
fined 400 dole, with three years' imprisonment.
The rest of the rioters were sentenced to three
years' imprisonment with hard labour and to pay a
fine of 200 dole. Those who were convicted of
larceny during the riots were sentenced to two
years' imprisonment with hard labour, and to be
publicly whipped with 39 lashes.
Four Portuguese, named Francisco Fernand'',
John Roger Small, Antonio Viers, and isemario
Rodrigues, were indicted for conspiring to beat On,
It appeared that On had been in the habit of using
the most disgraceful language towards the ones in
the convent, sad had publicly insulted Dr. Hynes,
the Roman catholic bishop. Complaints of these
outrages had been made to the pro-sheriff, who ad-
vised the eomplsinants to take a note of the tangoes*
made moot by Off, and if it wee indecent to summon
him for making use of indecent language in the public
streets. A summons of this kind was issued against
Orr, hot before the day fixed for the hearing of the
ease arrived the disturbance, broke out. On the
morning of Feb. 9 some Portuguese, at the instance
of Captain Tsggsrt, the supervisor of aid-waiter%
went to the convent with the intention of noting the
expression seed by On. Several other Portagow
were there also, and smogs them the four defendants.
Altogether there were about a dozen or fifteen Por-
tuguese ameembled; they were walking up and
down talking to each other, and appeared to be wait-
ing for ease me. Dr. Fentandee and some others
had boriewhipe in their hands, and the rest had
walking sticks or switches. Mr. Taggart, also, was
there with an umbrella under his arm. It soon
got rumoured abroad that the Pangaea
were waiting for On to beat him, and • crowd
of black people, men, women, and children, turned
cat to defend On. In the meantime mime one in-
tense,' Orr of what was going on, and be declined to
p out that morning. Atter • abort time the
Portipase went away, and Mr. Taggart, who
had bees waiting for his daughter, who had gone
to morning service in the 4:caeca, also left the spot.
Evidence wee given to prove that Dr. Fernandes
bought the whip ea the previous night for the par-
rot of threads' Orr. The jury bound the three
Met-named deleadants guilty, and acquitted &d-
-rips,. They were sentenced to be imprisoned for
sax months, sad to pay • fine of 260 dole. each.
