WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS

In yesterday's paper we published a telegraphic sum-
mary of the news by the West India steamer Parana,
arrived at Southampton. We have now received our
full files.

Advices from Jamaica are to the 26th ult., but they
contain no political news of importance. There is
little improvement to report as having resulted from
the fortnight's business. Fish stuffs had continued in
demand, but the request for rice, meals of all description,
and breadstuffs had been limited. The supply of native
provisions still continued plentiful. Exchange on Lon-
don :—Colonial and Jamaica Banks, 90 days, 1 per
cent. premium ; 60 days, 1 ditto ' • 30 days, 11 ditto ;
Commissariat, 1 per cent..; merchants' bills, 90 days,
par.
At Demerara there had been three sittings at the
Court of Policy during the fortnight. On the 10th
ult. his Excellency informed the Court that a despatch
had been received from the Duke of Newcastle, to the
effect that Mr. Austin had been directed to make arrange-
ments for sending the 2,200 Chinese immigrants which
had been applied for by the colony, but that, although
it was fair that the general revenue should bear a por-
tion of the expense, the planter ought to pay two-thirds
of it. The original calculation was, that the planters
would have to pay only $7O per head, but the cost
had been subsequently estimated at about $B4 ; and,
as his Excellency stated, the question was, whether
the planters would be still willing to take the number
applied for at the increased rate. His Excellency further,
remarked that circulars would be sent round to the
applicants to ascertain whether they would abide by
their original proposal. The most interesting feature in
the proceedings of the Court on the 17th was a speech
delivered by his Excellency the Governor on the subject of
immigration. On the Court proceeding to the second
reading of the bill for the better arrangement of estates
hospitals, his Excellency adverted to the expediency
of taking up this subject .at a time when a large number
of immigrants of all classes were expected, and then_
gradually diverged into the question of immigration-.
He declared that all classes benefit from it; that without
it the estates could not be maintained ; that if these
were abandoned the mercantile community would find
a cessation of trade, the public funds would be distressed,
public offices would be deprived of their livelihood, and
even the mass would suffer in the loss of all those social,
political, and civil institutions which constitute civilisa-
tion. The barque Neptune arrived from Madeira on the
21st, with 267 immigrants.

The island of Antigua was healthy, and abundant rain
had fallen, but the beat was still intense
At St. Vincent's the weather had

again been:

but the season altogether was considered favourable fOi
the planter.
There had beer; heavy falls of rain at Grenada, but the
heat continued, and fever Vas still very prevalent.
The papers from the French West India islands are
still filled with details giving further particulars of the•
late inauguration fetes. There had arrived 328 Chinese
immigrants for Guadaloupe, but the whole was trans-
ferred to Martinique, the planters of the former island
not being willing to take them. Business continued
dull, and money extremely scarce in the French islands.
The sanitary state of Martinique is represented to be
satisfactory.

The weather continued very warm at St. Thomas's,
and several cases of fever were reported among the
shipping and Chinese on shore.
From Chili we learn that events have recently taken
place which show that the revolutionary spirit is not yet
quenched in the Republic. A revolt has been discovered
in the Constitution. An insurrection of the prisonersin.
one of the southern provinces has taken
_place; an
attempt was made to seize the waggons of the Copiapo
Railroad at Pabellon. In view of this unsettled state of
affairs, the President has asked Congress for an es.te.a.

sion to the Ist of November, 1860, of the extraordinary
powers he -at present holds ; and after some discussion,
this has been granted.

It is proposed to establish two new provinces, one in
the south called Oraisco, and the other in the north to
be called Ovallee. A change of ministry is spoken of
after the termination of Congress. General Valdiand
Seal is to be appointed Intendente of Valparaiso.
All the Peruvian blockading squadron was in front of
Guayaquil, except the Guisse. A number of merchant
vessels had arrived. Signor Maldonado had been
elected governor of the city. Congress had been con-
voked

The Gacela del Sui-, of Lambeyque, announces the
important fact that near the port of Pasta rich-coal
mines had been discovered, and the coal promised to be
of good quality and abundant in quantity.

CArxtutE or A SLAVER.—The West Inclianail
brings. intelligence that the barque Latire had arrived
at Barbadoes in charge of Lieutenant Pitman;. from the
South Cost of Africa, bound to Vera Cruz, being a
prize to her Majesty's ship Archer, under the' following
circumstances :—She was fitted with a slave deck, and
had on board about 200 casks of water and every neces-
sary for the reception of a cargo of slaves; she was
taken under Mexican colours, which the master persisted
in flying, and for this reason she was being taken to
Vera Cruz for adjudication. Two passengers were on board at' the time of capture, reported . as' Spaniards,
and without pasiporta, and- they were suspected to be
the supercargoes. They were sent to Fediando Po,
with the crew of the vessel, the captain, carpenter and
acorriokieed. xcepTtehdo,Lwaure

Sir Cusock Rooney presided to-day at the first
half-yearly meeting of the Cork and Kinsale

stated that the contract works for the entire line

had been come to with the Cork and Bandon
Company, who had agreed to work the Kinsale
line for 30 per cent. of the goods traffic.

The following appeared in a portina of our im-
pression of yesterday :

THE MONEY MARKET.

There has again been.a general buoyancy in the
funds to-day, and they have closed with great firm-
ness at a further advance- The want oL money 'seeking
employment is as great- as ever, and 14ans. on 'Govern-
ment securities are vainly:offered at ltper cent: Under
these eireunistances, there is no difference in the price of
eonsols between money and time. At th& Bank to-day
there was again little demand for discount. In the, open
market the minimum is- 24- to . The railway mar-
ket • has shown increased: buoyancyto-daiy. In North-
eastern and Caleys, a rise of 1 to 11-percent; has been
established. —Times.

Before it was known; that the treaty of peace had
been signed, the markets: had exhibited a decided im-
provement, owing to the-continued demand for invest-
ment and the scarcity-of• stock; The finds have risen
per cent., and the new. India•Loso t- per cent, and
most of the principal railway stock, to 1 per cent.
The upward movement was especially observed in the
latter securities. There-were no: transactions in bullion
at the Bank to-day. Comparatively-few bills are nego-
tiated below: 24 to 2, per eentz.i notwithstanding the
release of the dividends.. The GoverHment shipment of
silver to India and China by the• packet of the 20th
will amount to £300,000; and tea shipments on mer-
cantile account will amount to about £200,000, nuking,
the large sum of half-a-million:—Ateily News.
