filth whieh,rbw pre§ented itself on board this vessel is in-
boneiveabl.e. From having 811612 in addition to her corn,
plement the Pickle steered for the Havannah, the neatest
port, where she arrived on the 12th.
By the advices from St. Thomas we perceive there has
Islet'n no 7ariatien of consequence in prices. Exchange
was as before, 4.'.5 to 566 dollafs for 10/._sterling-, Bank
drafts. Sugar is said to have advanced 31 dollars in the
French colonies, in consequence of the permission lately to
sell it, or send it to, or for any place.
The Maglsteatc3 who proceeded to St. Dorothys for the
purpose of investigating into the origin of the late fire at
Bushy Park estate, have committed one of the labourers,
who was caught in the act of applying the torch to the
canes, to take his trial.
By private adviccs received in this city by the Colom-
bian schooner Florida, which arrived on the 16th imit,
from Cartilage6a, we regret to learn that the town of
Quibido, in the province of Chord, in New Granada, has
been partly destroyed by fire, 75 houses having folle.n a
sacrifice.
We have received very few Windward Island papers by
the packet. The few we have contain nothing,of interest.
BARBADOES. —THE WEATIIER.—" A succession of re-
freshing rain and showers during the last fortnight have af-
forded the most favourable opportunities to the planters and
labourers, of which we are led to believe they have not
availed themselves generally."
ANTIODA.—We have no papers from this island; but
learn from the Barbadoes Mercury that it had been visited
by an earthquake, accompanied by terrific thunder storms
and heavy falls of rain.
GRENADA.—We learn from the same source that Mr.
NPCombe, the Editor of the Free Press, was still suffering
under the unjust and despotic sentence of imprisonment.
ST. VINCENT.—WC arc sorry to perceive that a trifling
collision has been occasioned between the Lieutenant-
Governor and the Assembly of that island, through the
improper conduct of Mr. Stipendiary Nanton, the House
having requested his Excellency to furnish them with a
report of the proceeding of the Magistrates for the King-
ston district,
ST. CHRISTCPIIER.—We have the Gazette of this island
of the 7th June, which contains the speci.il meeting of the
Legislature, to pass another Money Bill, which was nega-
tived, and the Tax Bill was then passed.
We have received Demerara papers to the 7th July,
chi€fly filled with English news.
BARBADOES PAPERS, JUNE 26.—Yesterday and to day
we have b..en blessed with delightful showers of rain. It
is glorious:weather for the labourers to plant. The blessing
of freedom has been grievously abused. Agriculture, the
very life blood of the country, the staff and support of
thousands, is retrograding instead of advancing; we
hope to see better times.
We have received Port of Spain papers to the
6th July:—The agricultural report states " Never
do we remember a more favourable season for manu-
facture as also for vegetation. The crop is now
over, and is more abundant than could have been antici-
pated ; the Negroes have also, with some exceptions, re:
sumed weeding with good will, and quietly fallen back to
the wages paid previously to commencement of sugar
making. Emigrants still continue to arrive but not in
large numbers. We have been informed on good autho-
rity, that since the emancipation, about 700 labourers of
one description or other have arrived in this Colony.
Our chief arrivals this morning are from the West
Indies, by the Jamaica and Leeward Island Mails, which
are of a favourable description in respect to the weather and
agriculture in some of the Islands. In regard to the conduct
of the labourers we have very few details, but we find there
has been disorder amongst the labouring population, which
extended itself to St. Dorothy's. A cane piece has been
completely destroyed by fire, and about 800 acres of prime
canes have also been destroyed. The effects of misrule
are now developing themselves in almost every quarter o'
the Island.

By the Lisbon Mail, received this morning, the accounts
state that there is every reason to suppose that the whole
amount of the loan, 4,200 contos Five per Cent. Stock for
raising 1,400 contos in Cash, has been contracted for.

The accounts from Odessa to the 9th of August state
that althowzli the assurance given by our Court to the
other Powers, consenting to the question of the East, the
military preparations in our country still continue, the
two divisions of the Russian fleet in the Black Sea, each
of them composed of six sail of the line, four frigates, and
five brigs, with two steamers, are not far from the Bos
phorus. The corps d'armce of twenty thousand men is
still at Odessa.

The Memorial Bordelais states that the plan for the
pacification of Spain will be executed before the Ist
September.
A very great scarcity of money prevails. 31 per cent.
has been given for the continuation of the October Ac-
count, which is at the rate of 7 per cent. for a few days. A
