Royal on the 25th ult.
The English brig Cambyses, Captain Barton, in going
out of Kingston harbour on the 19th ult., got into a
dangerous position a little to the north of a reef, a heavy

got off without much trouble and expense. The cargo
was being relanded.
The cholera still lingers in some parts of the island,
but the cases are not so frequent as they were at the date
of last advices.

The sugar crop has been good, although not quite
equal to the anticipations of the more sanguine. In
most places the slzpply of labour is found to be but
slightly affected by the cholera, its victims having been
in general the aged, the infirm, and the dissolute. The
May seasons have been very favourable, the face of the
country is beautiful, and the prospects of the planter are
encouraging.
The brig Lindisfarne, Salter, 53 days from Liverpool,
arrived at Port Royal on the 24th, as also the barque
