ship ,:New Granade.;—Valparaiso, July 31; Arica,

From jamait-a, we learn that the Legislature
was not in -session, and would not be before the
usual time in October. The I x cutive Cumuli tee
had been very assiduous in their deliberations as
to what measures it may be expedient t 3 introduce
when the egislature meets. Fever was very pre-
'Talent, but mortality slight, The island %tau very
-quiet, and trade generally dull, but mining opera-
tions were very encouraging.

We take the following from the "Packet Sum
inary," in the Jamaica Stand ircl:—

The incidents of the past fortnight h tve been so wholly
(devoid of interest as scarcely to supply the material for a
+summary. Throughout the Wand the weather has been
highly propitioui for the growicg crops, an unusual degree
of rain for this season of the year having fallen. Indeed,
in some districts in which any large breadth of tines still
remains to be taken off,,here has been rather too meet rain,
and sugar manufacture has been somewhat retarded in
conseq ieres A good deal of sickness, no', however, of a
very fatal nature, has manifested itself; arising, no doubt,
from the moisture of the soil acted upon by a fierce sun,
the injurious effects being principally felt in the suburban
districts, where vegetable decomposition exists during wet
weather to a considerable extent. Governor Darling 'has
met with a hearty reception from all classes of our people,
And there is every reason to hope that his government will
be both a useful and popular one. Addresses from various
parishes and public bodies have been presented, to which,
his lix!.ellency has replied in terms well calculated to con-
-firm the favourable impression which his previous con-
neet*on with the colony had sufficed to produce.
From De Cordova's Mercantile Intelligencer of the
latest date we learn that sugar was scarce, and
sales of fine quality hnd been made at 32s per
1.90 lb. Sales had been reported of a few barrels
of alewives from the north side at 20s fad per
barrel. Irish butter, ex Sea Rover, had bcea sold
at 141,1 to 15-1 per lb ; all the late receipts of
• A.merican had been taken at Is. Since last mail
there had been almost an entire cessation of busi-
ness; the market was bare of many articles, and
prices had generally declined. Last arrivals of flour
were held a,t 423; hams at 7d to 93, according to
quality. Mess pork had been sold at 1265, but
that price could not be realised at latest dates.
The mining interests of the island were looking up.
Cordova reporting a recent purchase of 3,000
shares of the Ellerelie and Bardo:vie Company at
103. (par value]. part of which the purchaser had
received an offer for an advance. Applications
for 800 further shares had been declined by the
company. It was expected that this mine would
be one of the earliest to yield a dividend. Ex.
-changes on Loudon, Government Bills, 30 days,
per cent. per annum. Jamaica and Colonial Banks,
90 days, 1 per cent. preminm ; 60 days, I per cent.
premium; 30 days, 2 per cent. premium ; Mer-
chants' Bills, 90 days, par. On New York, 80 days',
per cent. premium—merchants' bills.
From 'Demerara we learn that the Court of Polity
bad met twice since the last mail, and had taken
under consideration the proclamation for the for-
.mation of divisions and the distribution of arms
under the Estates' Arms Ordinance, which had
recently come into operation. Tho proposed
measure was looked upon favourably, if carried
out with firmness. Mr. A. W. Perot had been
unanimously re-elected Msyor of Georgetown.
Several of the persons, men and women, implicated
in the outrage upon the Governor and Mrs.
Wodehouso on their late departure from tho
colony had been arrested, and liberated on bail, to
take their trials at the next session of the Supreme
'Court for riot. The Hon. W. B. Wolseley,
Acting Government Secretary, and his lady left
for England by the present packet, after a residence
of over twenty-one years, during which the hon.
gentleman gained the respect and good will of all
classes. Mr. A. X. Gore, the Acting Assistant
'Government Secretary, also left by this packet on
leave of absence The weather during the fort-
night had been wet, and thunderstorms frequent.
The planters were anxiously looking for dry weather.
Business was dull, freight scarce, and tonnage
abundant.

At Trinidad every hope existed of the projected
railway being constructed. The estimates and
plans were being 'natured. There had been heavy
and frequent raius during the fortnight, and the
weather was on the whole favourable for cane cul-
- Nothing to report in produce. Very
•little sugar could be made this fall, and only a small
luantity of cocoa was coming forward. Breadstuffs
.and provisions had met a ready sale at remune-
ting prices DJrnand for fresh flour waa still good,
and the old stock nearly all used up. Codfish
continued in demand, at higher rates.
The Grenada Legislature .had continued in
session during the fortnight, but nothing of im-
portance was transacted. The weather was
favourable for the platters, and trade maintained
average activity. The health of the island was

good:
The news from the other islands is unimportan

THE PACIFIC

The West Indic mail steamer brings us Panama
advices of th 3 22fid of August, Callao,, August
12113„and vat parasio, Suly 31st.
The accounts from Valparaiso inform us that an
amnesty .was granted to all persons who, on
account of the part they took in the events of 1831,
have been, or may be indicted ; and reside at pre-
sent in the country. The leaders of the Conserva-
tive party, .v..ho have hitherto supported the
Government, and the Liberals have united and
formed a strong party against the Government
They demand a change in the Cabinet,
.and a
more liberal line of policy. Late advices announce
that the Ministers had presented their resignation,
and it had been accepted by the Presilent.
IsLohing is said as to their successor:, and some
persons are of opinion that the now Cabinet will
not be appointed until September.
The news from Callao are of a painful character,
namely, the assassination of Mr. Sullivan, British
Minister at Lima. The following appears in the
Panama Star and Herald :

News has just been sent from Lima that Mr. Sullivan,
the British Minister, was assassinated by six Peruvians.
The Vixen has gore to Palta in search of Admiral Bruce.
It is suppoved that he was murdered for the British inter-
ference in the matter cf the Tumbwi and Loa I have just
received the particulars of the affair ; —Mr. Sullivan wai
dining alone, when six men, masksd, entered and fired
three silo's, one of which is fatal, having entered the groin
and passed up into the lungs. After the deed was done
one of them exclaimed, "I am now sat'sfied," and then
they all disappeared. As yet no one is suspected for it
There is a desire on the part of the Peruvians to put off
the whole matter as the result of an intrigue with a
lady. Be that as it may, the Government feel alarmed as
to what the results will be. The steamers Ucalya and
TOuhres are going south to bring back General Castilla,

and probably some troops. A Frenchman and a negro
have been just arrested on suspicion of being accomplices
of the assassination of Mr. Sullivan. There are not the
slightest hopes of his reeovaring. It is now reported that
the act was committed by some of the most respectable
parsons in Lima. However, I will eve you the rumour.
It appears a short time ago a ball was given by one of
tha leading f,milies in Lima, and Mr. Sulivan took there a
well-known prostittve that he has kept a long time as his
mistress; the gentlemen present remonstrated with him,
calling his attention to the fact that it was a gross insult
to all parsons present ; to which he is said to have replied
that she was as good as any woman present or in Lima,
and that they were all a set of pr: stitutes." A reward of
100 ounces is offerA for the apprehension of the mur-
derers. The steamer will's() searched by the Retribution
as soon as she gets out of the harbour. . .

The conduct of the Peruvian officials towards
American vessels had called for the interference of
the United States' Minister. Private letters state
that the presence of an American vessel of war was
much needed on the coast.
The government of Ecuador had notifiad its ad-
hesion to the convention entered into between Pcru
and Chili in sSeptember, 1856.
General Castillo, on his return to Callao, had
been placed under arrest by the Council of
Ministers, who exercised the supreme power during
the absence of the President. Castillo had pub-
lished a letter complaining of this outrage. The
matter was referred to the convention, which dis-
claimed the action of the Council.

Her British Majesty's steam-frigate Retribution
arrived at Callao on the Ehb, and the Magieienne
sailed on the 7ch for Paita and Panama.

During the month of July 60 ships, with an
aggregate tonnage of 47.369 tons register, loaded
at the Mucha Islands with guano—viz., 43
vessels of 34 309 tons for England ; 4 of 3,755
tons, for the United States.; and 13 of 9,305 tons,
for France.

Costa Rica advices of a late date mention that
the 6th of September has been named for the
reunion of the Congress. Sir F. T. hint has been
recognized by the government as Consul for
Holland, in Costa Rica and Don Eduaid Beeche,
as Vice-Consul of Chile, in Punta Arenas. An
order has been issued, that all small boats entering
the Estero of Punta Arenas shall touch at the
custom house wharf, previous to discharging her
cargo at any other point. The Coffee crop for the
year is said to have been 110,000 quintals. It is
expected that next year's crop will be larger.
From Managua we have received the Gaeeta
Official of July 25. A Government decree calls
upon all citizens to give up the national arms in
their possession, under a penalty of ten day's
imprisonment. The election for magistrates of
the Supreme Court was to take place on the 15:h of
August. An advertisement from the Supreme
Government states that 25,000 lbs. (1,000 arobas)
of FF powder is wanted, and also 100 quintals
(1,000 lbs.) of lead. The unofficial part con-
tains a trans'ation of Walker's speech at New
Orleans.

In consequence of the ravages of the cholera, the
fair of San Juan Devolla.to, usually held at Coju-
tepeque, on the 29. h of August, is adjourned until
the 20th of January next. _

The fair of San Vicente, usually held on the 25th
of July, has been postponed for the same reason.

CALIFORNIA..

The steam-ship Golden Age, from San Francisco
August sth, arrived at Panama August 19th, with
about 500 passengers. There is but little news by
this arrival.

Several conflagrations had occurred during the
fortnight in the towns in the interior of the state.
Oa the 25th of July the town of St Louis (Sierra
county) was almost entirely destroyed by fire. On
the 22nd of July a fire brcke out at Michigan Bluffs
(Placer county), destroying 67 buillings.
The adoption of the State Debt (declared illegal),
by popular vote at the coming election seemed to
meet with a little opposition.
Politics had been the all-absorbing topic in this
State. The American party had a set of candidates
in the field for all the State offices. It was as
follows :—For Governor, G. W. Bowie, of Sacra-
mento; Lieutenant-Governor, J. A. Riyrnond, of
Shasta ; Controller, G. W. Whitman, of Tuolumme ;
Attorney-General, J. B. McFarland, of Nevada
Surveyor-General, I. B. Healy, of Santa Clara ;
