HAVANA, Wednesday, July 16, 1856.—Sinea 14th ult.,
date of our last report, business has continued to be active.
*SVGA.RS have been in constant demand at steadily advancing

pared to the yield of 1855. We note sale on contract of
3,500 boxes of fair quality with but few whites for next crop,
at 21 dole 75c, the purchaser advancing 30,000 dots, cash,
Without interest, and we understand that negotiations are
pending for contracting next year's crops from several estates.

180,000 in 1855; .175,000 1854, 225;000 1853 ;
and 135,000 in 1852, same periods. Muscovadoes

LIBERIA.

We have received the Liberia Herald of the 21st of May,
which announces the arrival at Monrovia of the government
schooner Lark, from Grand Cape Mount, with President
Benson on Board. His Excellency, it appears, has been
absent affecting a personal adjustment of hostilities existing
between two neighbouring native tribes, "the Zarror people
and the Vey ;" and his neg,ciations are said tohave been cue-
eesgful. It is estimated that there have been no less than
100,000 natives killed and sold oat of the Vey country, and
these predatory wars have been the great productive cause
of the slave trade in that region. One article, headed" Oar
country," urges the importance of a more strict attention to
agriculture, as a basis for true rational prosperity ; but
propounds the somewhat communist doctrine, that as success
in farming cannot be expected from individual enterprise
alone, the State "should take hold of it as the nine-tenth
part of her existence," and devote capital to the purpose.

PUERTO RICO

Correspondence from Puerto Rico, to the 29th ult, pub-
lished in the Havana Diario de la Marina, announces the
re-appearance of the cholera under very unexpected circum-
stances. " The people had just congratulated themselves
on its entire abatement, the inhabitants of Hurnaco and
Vieques especially were congratulating themselves on the
success with which they had combated the scourge with a
cordon sanitaire, and auccessrullY escaped from being visited
by a single case, and all were preparing to celebrate the
feast of St. John—the principal one observed in the island
—with the greatest hilarity, when it broke out again,
choosing Humacae and Vieques for its first victims, but
also appearing at Yabucoa. As these places are all in
the neighbourhood of the richest and most populous
agricultural districts, and not far from Gaavama,
which had suffered severely from a disastrous conflagra:
tion at the beginning of last month, or from Ponce,
the second city of the island, it will readily be understood
that the greatest consternation has been caused b, the
re-appearance of the epidemic. To this calamity the Puerto
Rivuenos had another added. A very fatal disease was
destroying their cattle in great numbers. It was commonly
called the " Cattle Cholera," (Coleoa de los bueyos.) The
animals attacked became hydrophobic, frothed, or slavered
at the mouth, lost their teeth anidied—perhaps more from
the consequent manition, it was thought, than from the
actual disease. The loss by the fire at Guayama, above
alluded to is estimated at 200,000 dole, some forty stores
and houses have been thstreyed by it. The place has
become notorious for periodical conflagrations, whether
accidently caused or l‘ilfully as the one now under
notice is said to have been ; aad the only wonder
is that when one does break out, the whole place
is not utterly consumed • for while all the houses are
of wood, roofed with shingles, there is not a single fire engine
in it. In the midst of these misfortunes, the abundance
of the crops, and the high prices produce was bringing,
afforded same consolation ; and it was hoped that the coolie
immigration, which has been sanctioned by the government,
would do much to still furih'r increase the productiveness of
the island. The city of San Juan had just been lighted with
gas, greatly of course to the c mvenierce and satisfaction of
the inhabitants. The gas was being manufactured from the
wood of a very common tree of the island called tabanueo,
hitherto used for no other purpose,notwithstanding its magni-
tude and importance, than to furnish torches which served the
poor instead of candles. The gas undertaking is therefore
justly regarded as a double benefit to the country. It is said
that the plaza of San Juan was to be lighted by an immense
jet of this gas. The Captain-general D. Jose Lemery, had
been decorated with the cross of commander of the legion
of. honour, by Louis Napoleon, on account of the services
his father has rendered to France, his native country, and
to Napoleon Bonaparte.—. New Orleans Picayune, July 15.

THE AMERICAN COTTON CROP

We subjoin a number of paragraphs from various papers
touching the cotton crop in America :
Tn RECENT SEVERE STORM IN ARKANBAS.—The Cam-
den Herald, of the Bth ult , in referring to its former
account of the very severe storm which passed over
the section of country lying jest south of that place
on the evening of the 29:h June, says :—At the time
we made the announcement, we were aware that
some of our neighbouring farmers had sustained con-
siderable injury, but did not dream of the wild havoc
it has really made among the lands and crops
of those who were unfortunately exposed to its fury. Nor
did we then have the least idea of the extent of country
over which the storm passed. As far, in a south-westerly
direction, as Leake's store it prevailed with unabated
fury, and with the same disastrous result to the property
lying in its track. The crops of many of the farmers will
be entirely lost, and large tracts of excellent woodland,
that only awaited the ordinary process of clearing, to
richly reward the labour of the husbandman, have been
literally ruined and rendered valueless by the wholesale
uprooting of trees. It is impossible, from what we can
hear, to form even a remote estimate of the loss the
country has sustained. Suffice it to say that the country
for ten or twelve miles south, and from twenty to twenty-
five miles southwest of Camden, has received injuries from
this storm that it will take years to recover from.
WEATHER AND CROPS IN ARKANSAS.—The Little Rock
Gazette, of the 17th ult., says :—The weather has been
unusally cool for the season, and rather unfavourable to
farmers. The cut worm has been bad, and in some places
has commenced on the cotton.
DAMAGE TO TII& COTTON CROP..—The late heavy rains
in some portions of South Carolina have done much
mischief. A high freshet in Wateree river has destroyed
the entire crop of many planters in Richland and Sumpter
districts, and it is too late in the season to replant
cotton.

THE CROPS ON RED RtyEn.—We had a slight shower
yesterday evening, but we think it did not extend over
the Parish. Rain is much needed here and in other parts
of the Red River country. A gentleman who last week
travelled by land from Bayou Sara to thi s place informs
us that the cotton and cane in Pointe Conpee, and in tlio
country along Boyou de Glaiso, 13:tyhcolifi and Baycu
iiouc-e, are both very poor, suffering 'from drougth, and
arica choked by grass. The cotton Was affected. by lice,
auddh 3 stand was bad.—Alexandria American, 7trt tat.
DAMAGE' DONE BY LATE RAINS IN Mississippi.--The
Jackson Flag of the Union, says: - The late ,rains have
entirely inundated the farms of several or our planting
friends in Holmes, Carroll, Yallobusha, and adjacent
counties. Many farms have been so dreadfully
washed that their value is very much impaired. S-veral
cotton crops in the latter county have been entirely
ruined.

Cnors.—The corn and cotton crops in the lower parts
of Georgia, are represented to be in a most unpromising
condition. The early and protracted drought has left
them with bad stands. The replanting has suffered from
too much rain, and grass was never more flourishing.
Crops are broken or irregular, and with the most propi•
tious season from this time on, and a late frost, the
planters must lose at least one-third of their usual yield.
THE COTTON CROP IN ALABAMA.—The Montgomery
Mail, says :—We continue to hear unfavourable ac•
counts of growing cotton. The heavy planters are
very much dispirited about their crops.. The com-
plaint is chiefly as to bad stands, and the feeble
backward condition of the plant. The NN eattter has been
very unfavourable for ten days, the nights having a very
chilling effect. In many localities, considerable injury
has been done by hail.
DAMAGE BY LATE HEAVY RAINS IN SOUTH CARO-
LINA.--The Columbia Times,' says: We learn that the heavy
fall of water has done much and serious injury to the land
and crops throughout the country, by washing and other-
wise. The sudden rise. in the water courses, overflowing
the banks, hemming in small streams, has not only done
injury to embankments, but in many instances the deposits
of the barn yard and stables, and the rich covering for
late crops, have been swept off, thus in a night, blasting
the hopes of the husbandman who was diligently toiling
to produce and reap the fruits of a rich harvest.
