WEST INDIA MAIL.

FATAL DISTURBANCES IN TRINIDAD.

The packet ship Clyde arrived at Southampton this
morning. She brings 800,000 dollars on merchants'
account. her news from Jamaica is up to October
Bth. At Panama there were 2,000 people waiting to
procure a passage to California, which they would
succeed in duing in four American steamers that
were ready to give them a passage. Much excite-
ment existed in Trinidad in consequence of a pro-
jected change in the treatment of small debtors,
which went the length of causing a commotion
in the Court of Spain, which ended in loss of life.
It appears that a law was passed imposing on small
debtors the penalty of confinement and having their
heads shaved a punishment only inflicted on
condemned criminals. While the law was on its
way to receive the sanction of the Governor, the
people rose to resist the intended enactment, and in
such force as to render it necessary to call out the
military. The 88th Regiment were called out, and
ordered to fire on the people, and two women and one
boy were killed. in the meantime a meeting of the
respectable inhabitants took place, who petitioned
, the Governor not to sanction the obnox ions measure.

Lord Harris acceded, and the riot ended. Her Ma-
jesty's ship Champion was expected about the 10th
October from the west coast of Mexico, at Panama,
with a very large remittance, which would be sent
across the Isthmus, and transported on board one of
the West India Company's vessels. The amount of
the remittance is expected to be 1,500,000 dollars.
At Jamaica the following resolutions passed the
Assembly on the sth ult.:--
Resolved--" That in the:rzcsent embarrassed finan-
cial circumstances of the colony it is necessary that
this house should use every means in its power to
prevent the loss of revenue which may be expected to
arise from the expiring of the Act imposing a duty
upon imports, and to check or prevent such an
increase by importation vt ithout paying duty on the
stock of articles upon which duty has hitherto been
paid, and will hereafter be levied as will increase the
amount of such loss, and render additional direct
taxation unavoidable in providing for the exigencies
of the public."
Resolved—" That this House will, in passing the
Bill now Before it to impose a duty on articles im-
ported into this island, provide for the recovery and
collection of duties upon all goods liable to duty
thereunder which shall have been imported from and
after the fifth day of the present month of October."
The only event which can invalidate the above is
another prorogation or dissolution, which may take
place if the Retrenchment Bill be rejected.
The chief event at Demerara since the last mail
has been the passing of the Franchise Bill.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales or Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 5,000 bales, f which 1,000 American were:taken
on speculation. The market closed tamely.—Railway
shares were flat, and prices rather lower.
The Cern Market is dull to-day in Mark-lane. Of
foreign wheat the arrivals are 11,000 qrs.
In the commercial markets a good deal has been
doing this week, and with increased supplies of Sugar,
Coffee, Sec., prices have nevertheless been well main-
tained. Consumption proceeds favourably, and stocks
are thus kept down. Upon the state of trade in the
manufacturing districts we have the followiug particu-
lars from Messrs. McNair, Greenhow, and Irving:—
" This has been a remarkable month, rendered
peculiarly so by the extraordinary excitement and ani-
mation which characterised a considerable portion of it,
and the stillness and absence of both these qualities
which have marked its commencing and closing weeks.
In ordinary years, when money is abundant, and the
facilities for speculative purposes are easily accessible,
it is hardly to be expected that an article like cotton,
so readily convertible and essentially important to
the commerce of this country when unsupported by au-
thentic data, as to the extent necessary for supply and
consumption, should not attract attention. It is un-
questionably too early to form an opinion as to
what extent the present crop may be. The last
accounts were more favourable, and we shall be
much mistaken if all existing estimates be not
materially exceeded, provided the season continued
favourable. This belief is founded upon data within
our reach. Far too much stress is laid upon the weekly
consumption of this district. We do not believe that it
has reached the quantity stated. Though a portion 0?
the preceding remarks may scarcely be considered per-
tinent to the object of a monthly trade report, yet they
appear to us to be so, consistently with a repeated con-
viction that any influence, whether for good or evil,
upon the trade of this district comes legitimately within
its pros ince.
"From the commencement to about the 9th of the
month the intimation in our last circular as to the then
state of things became gradually confirmed. From an
apprehension that lower rates would ensue (which was
the case until the date named) operations were restricted
to pressing wants. Upon the arrival, however, of the
American steamer the transactions in the Liverpool
Cotton market produced an instantaneous movement
here, which continued to increase in animation, eager-
ness, and intensity for about ten days, to a degree al-
most unknown since the latter period of 1831. The,
previous decline in the value of both Cloths and Twist
tended to stimulate operations, and the enhanced value
of most of the leading articles, as indicated by our
Price Current, will exhibit the altered price of each.
Many parties, no doubt, too, who fancied that ' every-
thing was sure to be higher,' ran eagerly to secure pre-
sent and propective wants."
Since that date some degree of flatness has succeeded,
and there is much less esgsrness to buy, although no
serious reaction is to be noted.
The Clyde steamer, from the West Indies, is reported
to have arrived off Calshot Castle. She will not bring
any Mexican mail.
The Contieeet 1 advices are of a very scanty character,
yesterday having been observed as a holiday at Paris,
Antwerp, and other places.
The English Securities have experienced a very
decided reaction upon the news from Paris, and it is
certainly difficult to form a conclusion as to the issue et
the Ministerial crisis. The bold stand made by Louis
Napoleon is obviously calculated to render hirn popular,
though it may not secure him good majorities in
the National Assembly, and it is certainly to be de-
plored that the men of note are all wedded to some fac-
tion or to antiquated impressions that ill accord with
the enlightened views of patriotic men. Consols have

is good.
