and bilged; part of cargo saved. The Christian (Ham-

totally lost about six miles south of Pay ta, 20th June;
crew saved. A ship, supposed to be loaded with cotton,
was seen on fire 27th June, lat. 23, long. 84, the flames
were bursting out of the fore-hatches and cabin windows.

from our northern grazing di2itriets were extensive, bte, I
those from oiler quarters .sere by no means hr;:e.. The
general quaTy of the Bow; t 9 bei:ig good, especially tho
short-NA-es, and the weather very unfavourable for
slaughtering, the Beef trade ruled heavy, at a dt‘c:ine in
the prices of Monday last of 2.1 p,,r Bibs,. and a
total clearance was not effected. Tao top
figure for the hest Scots was 3a 8d per 8113?.
For the time of year we were spin somewhat heavily
supplied with Sheep. Prime Down breec's moved off
steadily at fall prim, vz., 3s 10d to 4s per Sibs; but
Leicesters, 'Cents, and wher heavy Sheep gave way about
2d per 8113 s. Hal`-breds supported previous currencies.
Notwithstanding that the supply of Lambs was good,
the trade ruled firm, at very full prices, viz,, from 43 4d
to 5s 4d per Blbs. Gives came freely to band, but the
demand for them was less active, and, in some instances,
the quotations had a downward tendency. The top
figure for Veal was 3s 10d per Bibs. We had a very
slow sale for Pigs at late rates. The Bullock arrivals
from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
amounted to 2,500 short-horns; from other parts of
England, 500 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 100
horned and polled Scots.

The Royal Mail Company's steam. ship Orinoco,
with the West India mails, arrived in the night. Her
dates of sailing were—Vera Cruz, July 5; Tampico,
Juno 30 ; Havannab, July 10 ; hagres, July 9 ; Ja-
maica, July 12 ; Demerara, July 10 ; Trinidad,
July 8; Barbadoes, July 12 ; and St. Thomas, Jaly
18. The Orinoco brings 3,331,496 dollars, of which
47,863 are for Mexican dividends. At Jamaica
things had not improved since the last advices. In
some parts the land was burnt up in consequence of
the continued drought, and the cattle dying. The
markets were exceedingly dull. A very severe shock
of earthquake was experienced on the sth of July,
but did no damage.
At the time of the Orinoco leaving Jamaica (12th
July) small-pox prevailed to a considerable extent,
particularly in Kingston and Falmouth, where seve-
ral fatal cases had occurred. The disease in Kingston
was, daily increasing, and had assumed a very ma-
lignant character. A severe shock of earthquake of
longer duration than any since 1812 occurred on the
morning of the 7th July, but happily had occa-
sioned no serious damage. The crops, so far as
they had been got in, had turned out considerably
below the usual average. The north side parishes
had been visited by copious showers, while those on
the south side of the island had been some time, and
still were, suffering from dry weather. Universal
complaints of the want of labour prevailed, and on a
great many estates no preparations whatever were
being made for the coming crop. All classes were
anxiously looking for a helping hand from the parent
Government, without which it was much feared the
impending ruin to all interests could not be averted.
Emigration to Augtralia on an extended scale among
the youth and enlightened of the community was
taking place, and shipping for this purpose
was in much demand. Commercial interes s were
much depressed, and it was anticipated by many
failures would take place before the close of the year,
unless extreme forbearance were exercised. Each
succeeding criminal court bore testimony to the in-
crease of crime, and that of a most rovolting nature,
while the judges in the civil courts had but very few
cases to occupy their attention. The Chief Justice
had been labouring under indisposition, and contem-
plated a short visit to the United States for the renova-
tion of his health. An early and special meetinghe
of
the Legislature was spoken of, with a view to
re-
consideration of the Loan Bills, to which the PGover-
nor had refused his assent during the last session, and
to receive the report of the Commissioners for the
Consolidation of the Island Laws.
De Cordova's latelligencer gives the following
from Jamaica:—
" Tee last was about the dullest fortnight that has
been experienced in this market for some time past.
The inactivity as far as it relates tr the demand for dry
and pickled fish may attributedbe. the fact that the
small-pox is becoming of a more virulent type, and that
it is spreading among the principal consumers of fish to
a large extent ; but we cannot ascribe the existence of
so contracted an inquiry for bread-stuffs to the same
cause. The increased scarcity of native vegetables, as
likewise the limited receipts of flour, &a., appear to have
had little, if any, effect in giving an inipeua to the de-
mand for the latter.
e The market for sugar and rum has a somewhat
improved appearance. Pimento auct coffee are not pro-
curable.
With regard to the weather we see it stated in the
provincial journals that the' seasons' in the parish of
Hanover have been eery favourable, and that scarcely a
day passes without the occurrence of a heavy fall of
rain. In Westmoreland, also, the rains havu been con-
tinous and heavy during the past week. Not so, how-
ever, in the parish of Trelawny, in several districts of
which the estates are suffering severely from the want
of rain. In some parts the land is complo:ely burnt
up,' and ponds, which in former days were never known
to he dry, are without a drop of weaer. As a na-
tural consequence, the cattle are dying by scores. We
have no accounts of the weather from other parishes.
" We learn &,%m a north side paper that the pimento
crop of the lowlands of St. Ann's will be a total failure,
though it is Said that the mountain trees are looking
favourably. Harvest commences the first week in
August, but in a few more fertile spots it will begin
rather in advance of that period. This information is
from a reliable source."
At Grenada the weather continued favourable for
the country, but the want of labour is telt.
At St. Lucia political and other matters move on
