than 10,000,000 and compared with their liabilities they
are in a stronger position than they have been for years
past. The Grocers' Blnk to-day voted to go into liquida-
tion, and the thwery Bank, having forfei'ed its rights
under the banking law, will probably have to follow the
same course. It is rumou-ed that several of the banks
here are preparing far an early resumption of specie pay-
ments. The announcement in a morning paper, of the
suspension of Sampson and Baldwin, iron merchants, is

untrue.

WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS.

We have already given a t .I,graphic summary o
the news brought by the La Pettit Lied the Pao fie
We now apend a few further details.
Our files from Jamaica ex end to the llth instant, when
the steamer left His Excellency the Gorernor had con-
vened the Legislature to as-!emb'e cn the 10 h proximo
It was stated that business of the utmost imeortance
waled be brought under the consideration of both houses.
An attempt would be ma le to hboli,h all direct imposts
and raise the revenue of the country by means of indirect
taxation,--z e, on imported articles, which soma parties
conceived would be on.rageous in the extreima,'as the
present prices woald be very oppressive to the pocrar
daises of the community. Commercial affairs, owing t )
the late -heavy rains, were languid. The sugar crops
presented a very cheerful aspeee, chiefly she result of the
late rains. The i4and generally was healthy.
Frost Ba-badoes we hear that the hurricane season bad
passed away w thont any calamity havir g befallen the
island. Daing September the rainfall fell short of that of
the two preceding months, bet was quite euificient to
sustain vegetation in a state of luxuriant vigour. The
general news of the fortnight was totally devoid of interest.
i he legislature had adjourned for six weeks, and the entire
cessation of crop operations had proluced the utmost seig-
natio') in every department of buliuese. The market was
bare of all kinds of American breadstuffe. There had
been some movement in Coolie rice, exports to the amount
1 of about 1,500 bags having been made to Guadeloupe and
Blartnique.
Demerara news is also without interest. The Court cf
Pohl ha'. met t nice during the week preceding the depar-
ture of the mail but did no business of importance. A
letter received by the Chief Jesetice from a gentleman at
Tortola, in which the writer Ft a tea. that the inneleitants of
that island were in a state of great deatituti n, and sug..
gested that some steps should be taken to induce them to
emigrate to this col )ny, was laid before the Court of
Policy, and it was resolved that the present law should be
so modified as to legerze contracts made with imraiwanie
from Tortola and other Brit'eh West India po.sresesions
The quantity of rain which had fallen daring the last six
menthe was unusually great, but the dry season had set in
in earnest. The cane_s exhibited a healthy and thriving
appearance, and a few weeks of dry weather would
bi ing then generally to a sate of maturity. The exports
during the past fortnight had been— Sugar, 1,230 hhds.,
91 trcs., 357 bele , 130 bags ; rum, 681 puns , 91 hhds ,
60 brie. ; molasses, 320 puns., 8 lthde., 5 brie.; timber,
