WEST INDIA MAIL.

The Royal mail steam-ship La Plat: t, Captain
Weller, arrived at Southampton last bring-
ing the West India and Pacific mails, i'a charge of
Lieutenant De Lisle, R.N., Admiralty went.
Her latest dates are—Honditra,s, Ma y 17 ; Car-
thagena, 26 ; Chagres, 24 ; Jamaica, :?6 ; Porto
Rico, 29; Demerara, 25; Trinidad, 25; B: trbadoes,
27; Grenada, 25 ; t. Lucia, 28 ; Martini que, 28 ;
Guadeloupe, 28; Dominique, 28 ; An tig ua, 28 ;
St. Kitts, 29 ; and St. Thomas, June I.
La Plata brings 200 passengers. On freight she
has specie value 800,000 dols., pearls val 1,1001.,
713 serons cochineal, 109 serons indigc), 97 cases
cigars, 4 bales tobacco, 69 bales sarsapaxillla, 98
casks ginger, and 74 packages sundries.
The Atrato, with the outward mails c if the 17th
ult., had arrived out at St. Thomas in NI days 8i
hours from Southampton, the quickest :run ever
made by any steamer across the Atlantic:. _

Froni Jamaica our accounts, to the 26;h ult., are
as follow :

" Since the sailing of the last packet there. :have been
very few occurrences in this island, either :political or
domestic, worthy of particular observation. Ffis Excel-
lency the Governor has not yet returned to 1;1 he seat of
government in Spanish Town. His reception o n all sides
has been most enthusiastic, and congratulatory addresses,
couched in language teeming with eulogy a net respe^t,
have poured in everywhere. Sir Henry 13a3 kly is a
truly popular man. We regret to observe tha t cholera
has been making very serious ravages in many parishes
of this island ; and on this occasion many ()f the most
eminent and distinguished persons have fallem ',victims to
its fearful agency. In fact it has become p ainfully ap-
parent that its ravages have been especially among the
higher classes of the population, while the po.oror classes
suffer in a less degree."

De Cordova's Intelligeneer says, in reference to
business matters—

" Our market showed some signs of activity :soon after
our last issue, and a few moderate operations w ere. effected,
consequent, in some instances, on the desir,s cif holders
to realise, and in others on the disposition of the trade to
increase their supplies. This improvement, however,
was of a merely temporary duration, and we have again
to report a very unsatisfactory and inactive state of
affairs."

The cholera has made its appearance a rctong the
black population iu Barbadoes. Shipping- was
much wanted for the present crop.
At St. Lucia sugar-making was going on vigor-
ously, but much distress was occasioned 'Dy the rise
of freight to ss. 9d. and 6s. per cwt.
In Demerara the weather was dry, an. immense
quantity of sugar was on hand, and freights were
still high ; the next crop promised large results.
The Court of Policy had been busy with the new
Immigration Bill.
We have late accounts by this steamer from the
Pacific ports :
"Pern.—Our files of Lima papers are to 'the: 12th of
May.
" The Foreign News gives the following d etails of the
melancholy loss of 731 Peruvian troops :
" ' The Peruvian transport Mercedes, bound from
Casma to Callao, with about 800 troops on beard, struck
upon a rock near the mouth of Casma harb our on the
morning of the Ist instant. The Mercedes V ras accom-
panied by the Government steamer Rimac, the officers
of which rendered every possible assistance, brut without
effect. The Mercedes went down soon after site struck,
carrying with her 731 persons. The conduct of Captain
Noel, commander of the lost vessel, was, from the ac-
counts published in the papers of this city, such as must
merit universal praise and admiration. He remained at
his post to the last, and went to the bottom with his
ship, and more than 700 of his countrymen.'
" The Australian miners who have been attracted to
Peru by the report of the gold mines found themselves
very much deceived. The Peruvian Government give
them no encouragement, and dread their entrance into
the interior. _ _ _

"A decree was lately passed prohibiting them from
carrying arms into the interior, but by the exertions of
the United States' Minister, it has been modified as far
as regards the United States' citizens."
In the Valparaiso markets there had been con-
siderable animation owing to large purchases for
Ecuador and Mexico.
