BARBADOES.

In Barbadoes the weather had been favourable for
sugar-making, and the crop made had been about3o,ooo
hhds. It was only on the high lands that the crop was
not finished. Probably 5,000 more hogsheads would be
made, and so would be about equal to that of last year.
Very seasonable rains had lately fallen, and the young
crop was looking healthy, vigorous, and clean; the pre-
parations having been all well made, chiefly with imple-
ments, another large crop may be looked for should the
island be blessed with fine weather. The use of imple-
ments, machinery, and foreign manure is gaining
ground, and attention is being paid to the keep of stock
on the estates. The island was healthy, a slight form
of small-pox excepted. The rapid reaping of the crop
had occasioned some slight scarcity of tonnage; but as
most of the regular traders had arrived on their second
voyage, this was passing off.
Very favourable weather had been experienced gene-
rally throughout the islands.
