THE WEST INDIA MAILS

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

SOUTHAMPTON, JAN. 30

The steam-ship Atrato has just arrived. She
livings sixty-two passengers, and 700,000 dollars in
specie. _

Her dates are Grey Town, Jan. 4; Havana, Jan
; Jamaica, Jau. ; PUft() Rico, Jan. 14; St

The Mexican mails and specie were left behind,
on account of bad weather. The Emperor of
Hayti having loSt the frontiers of St. Domingo,
and given battle, was completely defeated. Busi-
ness is dull at Port au Prince. At Jamaica the
Sugar market was depressed. We learn that
peace reigns in Chili, and that the mining pros-
pects were good. From Australia we learn that
rich veins of quartz have been discovered twenty
miles from Geelong, and that there was a great
mass of persons at the spot. There has been an
earthquake in New Zealand.
The islands are reported to be healthy, with the
exception of Porto Rico, where the cholera was
raging.

Business in general was flat throughout the
whole of the colonies.
