WEST INDIES.

Her Majesty's packet Pandora, Lieutenant Morgan,
acting commander, arrived at Falmouth on Saturday
evening. Her sailing dates are stated to be—from Bar-
badoes, June 28 • St. Lucie and Martinique, 29 ; Domi-
nique and Guadeloupe, 30 ; Antigua and Montserrat,
Jul), 1 ; Nevis and St. Kitt's, 2 ; Tortola, 3 ; and
arrived at St. Thomas's the same day. The island mails
in return were brought to St. Thomas's by the Firefly
steamer, and those from Jamaica by the Tartarus on
July 22 ; on the following day the packet sailed for
*England. The next packet, the Tyrian, arrived at St.
Thomas's July 19. Passengers by the Pandora—Mr.
Henry Gunter, E. A. Wallbridge, Lady, and family ;
Captain Vernon, 33d Regiment : Mr. J. Colhoun, Mr.
P. F. Esponosa, Mr. Robert Mathews, Rev. R. Dallas,
Rev. 0. D. Toosey, and family. A small freight of
240 oz. of gold and 100 of silver.
Vegetation had been considerably improved by boun-
tiful rains at those islands, which our late advices re-
presented as being parched ; the effect thereof on the
coining crops would be highly promising. Trade at Ja-
maica was dull ; but the affairs at Grenada being quieted,
a gleam of hope presented itself of a resumption of com-
mercial pursuits, and the receipt of money, as a con-
sequence, from the main.
By this arrival we have been favoured with the Belize
Gazette to the 12th ult. Of internal matters the papers
before us contain little intelligence, but what there is ex-
hibits a favourable aspect.
A general rising had taken place in Bolivia, headed
by Generals Lara and Irogover, who have proclaimed
General Santa Cruz Supreme Protector.
"This officer (adds the Gazette) was expected at Guy-
aquil about the 20th ult., where he was told to hold him-
self in readiness to embark for Peru with a small force
on the first favourable opportunity ; and as such an op-
portunity is now offered, he is momentarily expected in
Peru. On his arrival the downfal of this degraded Go-
vernment is inevitable. In fact, nothing prevents its im-
mediate overthrow but the want of some officer of rank
and influence, under whom all parties would unite."
Upon this subject a Correspondent further writes:—

" Col. Vivanco has been proclaimed Supreme Chief in
the department of Cusco, Arequipo, Puno, and Moque-
gua ; and notwithstanding General San Roman, who was
placed in command of the former by Vivanco, has de-
clared against him with about 1,000 men, yet he appears
to be rapidly gaining ground, as the whole community
is decidedly against the Government of Gamarra, who
has degraded the country to such an extent as to place
it in the class of a Chili= colony, sustained by Chilian
influence, and subject to Chilian control."
A new subject of dispute between the States of the
republic of Central America, has sprung up, as to the
choice of place where the National Convention should
assemble. The State of Guatemala having sent dele-
gates to San Salvador, where the Convention was origi-
nally appointed to meet, it was found that the other
States had determined to remove it to Chinandega, to
which the Guatemalians decidedly objected, on account
of its extreme remoteness and difficulty of access : here
the matter rests. It is added, 'however, as a fact not un-
worthy of observation, that Guatemala is the only State
that has shown any disposition to effect an adjustment
of the British claims upon Central America. Under all
these circumstances, the Guatemalian delegates have ex-
pressed their doubts of anything being effectively done
for the good of the people by a Convention, be it held
wherever it may.

As a natural consequence of these proceedings the as-
sembly of San Salvador has already formed itself into a
new Constitution, based upon the erection of the State
into a distinct republic, to be called the " Republic of
San Salvador," thereby elevating itself into the rank of a
sovereign nation, which example, it was expected, would
be followed by the States of Nicaragua and Honduras.
This arrangement, in the opinion of the Guatemalian
delegates, leaves it doubtful whether the general good of
Central America will receive an attention unbiassed by
the interests of the particular States, or that the specific
objects of the convention can be impartially discussed
and carried into execution.

We beg to annex the exact state of matters at Fort
Augusta :

Of the detachment of 50 men, there were 21 deaths up
to the 30th ult., besides one woman and two children. Of
these, 20 men died of fever, and one of consumption ;
the children of complaints in the bowels. Twelve men
are still in hospital, but only two oases continue doubt-
ful ; the rest on guard, &c.

WEST INDIA ENTERPRISE I—We regret to observe
from Barbadoes, that Mr. Young, the projector of aJoint-
stock Company for the culture of Victoria wheat, has at
present been obliged to give up the project from want of
encouragement. This is indeed too bad.

We observe with satisfaction that the Governor-
General of Cuba •has notified, that henceforth clearances
will not be granted to vessels for the coast of Africa.
This is a blow to the much longer continuation of the
slave-trade in that island.
THE WEATHER, CROPS, &c.—A correspondent who
is making a tour of the island of Jamaica, writes from
St. Mary's on the 28th alt.—" There has been very fine
seasonable weather in this parish, also in Clarendon and
St. Thomas in the Vale ; indeed, the whole country looks
beautiful. The promises of a good crop next yew are
everywhere, lam happy to say, very favour:it, a Oa
the 30th he writes from St. Ann's—" We have had plea-
sant showers every day, and all nature is dressed in holi-
day garb ; labour cannot be obtained here as readily as
could be desired ; Is. 6d. is the rate of wagrs offered by
some properties."

Atnons- the varied prcperty lately brought to the
hammer by Messrs. Foster, of Greek-street and Pall-
mall, who will in a few days sell the beautiful theatre of
Mr. Hamlet, the bankrupt, in Oxford-street, may be
mentioned the whole of the interesting objects consti-
tuting the Adelaide Gallery of Practical Science, which
on Wednesday was knocked down to Mr. Edwards, of
Charing-cross, for 7001. The proprietors have lost
20,0001. by this speculation, but saved sufficient from the
wreck to cover all demands upon them.—Observer.
'We can positively contradict the report that Ad-
miral Sir G. Cockburn goes to the Mediterranean in com-
mand of the fleet in that sea.. Nothing of the kind has
yet been determined on. The officen named for the
command are Admirals Sir Philip Durham, Sir George
Cockburn, and Sir William Gage ; but we think the
latter will most probably he the Sea Lord of the Admi-
ralty. Sir Jaines Graham, it is generally reported, will
be the First Lord of the Admiralty under Sir Robert
Peel's Administration.—Naval and Military Gazette.
A new street has been recently formed opposite
gill-pond-street, Bermondsey, crossing the mill-pond
by means of a bridge, and leading direct into Rother-
luthe, facing • the new Church in Paradise-street, which
is now seen to much advantage, and presents a very in-
teresting appearance with its neat Gothic tower and
pinnacles from the entrance of the street about two hun-
dred yards distant,
