WEST INDIES.
The Earl of lIARROWBY presented a petition from
the West India planters and agents complaining of dis-
tress, and praying tor the exclusion of all sugars what-
ever, win-a er free labour or slave, except British Colonial
West India:i sugar, from the British markets. The
West Indian colonies were suffering from the want of
labour, and he thought that to remedy this want
they ought to enable the planters to enter
into contracts for longer periods than for one
year whit the immiurant black labourers. It was very
true that a suns of money amounting to 500,0001. had
been voted last year for the relief of the West India
colonists ; but it was advanced upon such terms
as to preclude the planters from deriving any advantage
from the grant. Had it been advanced upon such terms
as the loans had been advanced to English and Irish
landed proprietors for drainage they might have derived
some advantage from it, and he hoped that next session
it would be proposed to loan out the money to West
India proprietors upon the same terms as money had been
loaned out to Env.,!ish end Irish proprietors. He would
not erne upon their Lordships to r(-impose the differen•
ti_l duties on sugar.
Earl UREY said the Act strictly prohibited the Go-
vernment from advancing money to individual West
India proprietors, and ho should hold out no hopes that
the law would be altered. He thought also that the system
of long contracts with labourers would be injurious;
but he was not prepared to say that the contracts should
not be entered into fur longer periods than one year,
provided such contracts were not entered into corn,
pulsorily.

THE ROYAL VISIT.
The Mayor yesterday received the following letter:-
" 24th July, 1849.

on Saturday, the 4th. They start on Wednesday—re-
main that night at Falmouth.
" Believe me to be truly yours,
" WILLIAX FAGAN.
"The Right Worshipful the Mayor of Cork."
Very extensive preparations are being made by the
Committee for the arrival of her Majesty. The Com-
mittee has 1,0001. at its disposal, which is to be expended
in the erection of triumphal archesstreets
through which the Queen is expected to pass,he in the
fitting up of the Custom House, where the steamer will
lie, and in providing a steam-vessel for the Corpora-
tion to pass up and down the river. It is expected her
Majesty will arrive in Cove on the night of Sunday
the sth August, and come into the city the following
day. Mr. Fletcher has got an order to ornament
the Custom House, under the directions of Mr. Benson,
C.E., the entire northern quay of which is to be covered
with scarlet cloth, and the shed to have an ornamental
archway. There are to be seven triumphal arches in the
streets—one crossing from Warren's-place to Anglesea-
bridge; the second from OH George's-street to Tuckey-
street ; third, across the entrance to Great George's-
street; fourth, on Western-road, near George IV. bridge;
fifth, across western entrance of Patrick-street; sixth, in
centre of Patrick-street; and seventh, at Patrick's-bridge;
the Dyke is to be strikingly °maul( nted. It is hoped that
her Majesty will consent to the route suggested by the
Committee—to land on the north quay of Custom-house
pass through southern gate to Lapp's-quay, along South
Mall, Grand Parade, Great George'a-street, Western-road,
Dyke, Mardyke-street, Great George's-street, Patrick-
street, Merchant's-quay, and back to Custom-house. Five
hundred tickets are to be issued to ladies for admissioninto
the Custom-house to witness her Majesty's landing. It is
intended that the Corporation proceed to Cove in a special
steamer to accompany the Queen up the river, and on
landing a procession in carriages will then formed. A
naval officer was in this city yesterday, making arrange-
ments for telegraphing the arrival of the royal yacht off
the harbour. There was a meeting of the magistrates
yesterday to adopt measures for the preservation of the
peace, which was attended by county-inspector Fox and
sub-inspector Walker, at which it was resolved to draft
200 police from the county into the city force of 112.
The general of the district has issued orders for the
marching of two regiments of infantry into the city, as
