THE WENT INDIA MAIM.

The Royal West India mail packet Atrato, Ad-
miralty Agent, Lieutenant Lloyd, ILN., arrived at
fleathamptema yesterday with the West ladle mails.
The dates et mails , August 19 ;
Panama, 23 ; Jamaica, 28 ; 23 ; Trini•
dad, 26 ; Borbadoes, 27 ; Antigua, 18 1 Thomas,
11 . Tortola, 23. The Atrato brings home only 88
pse.seagers in all. The freight on board ecersists of
specie to the =mint of 871,262 dole.
In Jemmies, throughout the island, the weather
had beer, highly propitious for the growing crops,
an unusual degree of rain for this season of the year
having fallen. A good deal of sickness, not, how-
ever. of a very fatal nature, had manifesteditself,
miming no doubt from the moisture of the soil acted
upon by a Ilene sun, the injurious effects being
principally felt in the suburban district,. Governor
Darling had met with a hearty reception from all
Blames of our people, and there is every reason (says
the Colonial Standard) to hope that his government
will be both a useful and popular one.
The news from the mining districts continues ex-
tremely encouraging.
Since the last mail there had been almost an entire
cessation of liminess. A decline in prices is noticeable
in ail articles with which the market is tokrably sup-
plied, owing chiefly to the quiet which has reigned
during the fortnight. Sugar is scarce ; sales of fine
quality have been made at 325. per 100th.. Caven-
dish tobacco is abundant, and is offered at 13d., but
no sales ; leaf has sold at 93e. per bale.
Exchanges.—On London : Government bills, 30
days, f per cent. premium.
In Bntish Galena several parties, men and women,
who were implicated in the outrage on the Governor
and Mrs. Wodehouse, on their departure from the
colony, had been arrested, and committed to take
their trial at the next session of the Supreme
Criminal Court for riot. A number of persona came
forward to offer themselves as sureties for the ap-
pearance of the seemed ; and in the case of a prin-
cipal offender, who was charged with having thrown
offal at the Governor, as he wee leaving the wharf
in the boat, a female acquaintance came forward and
deponted two hundred dollars as surety for his ap-
The gold mines at Upata were still the engrossing
theme in the colony. A commission, consisting of
Sir W. H. Hoboes, the Hon. Dr. Blair, Mr. W. H.
Campbell, and Mr. M'Clintock, and other gentlemen,
would start for the diggings on the .6th ultimo.
It is supposed that their journey will occupy
them about two months. There is every lemon
to believe that the country through which
they propose to travel will be found to be rich in
auriferous wealth. Their come will lie through
the very tract of country in which the old Dutch
geographers placed the Lake Parlous, supposed to be
..of Sir Walter Raleigh's famous El Dorado.
A great deal of interest attaches to this expedition,
and it is possible that it may throw a great deal of
light upon some dark pamages in the history of that
gifted, but unfortunate man.
Among the performs by this mail to England
are the Hon. W. B. Wolseley, acting government
secretary, and his lady. Mr. Wolacley takes a final
leave of the colony after a residence of over 21 years.
"No man." says the Reyes: Galette," woe more uni-
versally respected than Mr. Wolacley by all who
bad the pleasure of his acquaintance; and in
taking his departure from our shores for ever, he
will leave behind him many friends, whose beat
wishes will accompany him on his voyage to his
native land."

ASSASSINATION OF MA. MAYAN, BRITISH

MINISTER LN PERU.

The following are postscripts of a letter from Callao
of the 12th alt.. publiased in the Panama Star and
Nereid :

" News has just been sent from Lint* that Mr.
&divan, the British %Mater. was assassinated by
six Peruvians. The Vixen has gone to Puts in
orereh of Admiral Bruce. It is .apposed that he
was murdered for the Britieli interference in the
natter of the Turnhee and Loa.

—"I have just received the particulars of the affair :
lir. Sulivan was dining alone, when six men.
masked, entered and find three shots, one of which
is fatal, having entered the groin and paused up into
the Image. After the deed was done, one of them
metaised-- I ant sow satisfied," and thee they
all disappeared. As yet no one is suspected for
It. There Ma desire on the part of the Peruvians to
throw the whole natter as the result of an intrigue
with a lady. Be that as it may, tho government
feel alarmed as to what the resul!■ will be. The
steamers Ucalya and Thisbe, are going south to
being hack General Castilla, and probably some
troops."
