WEST INDIES.

Our dates from Kingston are to Jan. 11. The cho-
lera was still raging in the different parishes of Jamaica
In Trelawny, 1,900 deaths had occurred, and the num-
ber would probably reach 2,000. In Montego Bay
there had been 870 deaths; in St. James's, 944; Port-
land 40; Lucia, 114. The reports from SL Amis were
favourable, and the disease was decreasing. The ac-
counts from St. Thomas-in-the-East were also more
favourable.

In consequence of the stoppage of communication be-
tween Jamaica and the Main, by the means of the
Royal Mail Company's steam-ships, since the establish-
ment of the new route, the merchants of Kingston have
entered into arrangements to supply the deficiency by
means of sailing vessels.

The Kingstin Journal understands that the Royal
West India Mail Steam-packet Company would be pro-
hibited by the Government from taking passengers and
cargo for Lisbon by the Brazilian packets, in order that
they may not interfere with the trade of the Peninsular
and Oriental Company's mail steamers. The object of
Brazilian packets calling at Lisbon is to secure the traffic
between Portugal, Madeira, and the Brazils.
The Bishop of Jamaica has addressed a pastoral letter
to the clergy of the island. The Journal states that
when the intelligence of the calamitous visitation of
cholera reached England, his Lordship's earnest desire
was to return to the island immediately, but that in con-
sequence of excessive debility, which had confined him
to his house for several weeks, he was recommended to
abandon the idea. His Lordship has forwarded 25/.
toward the relief of the sufferers, and intimated his rea-
diness to procure further aid in the mother country.
The Colonial Standard states that a monthly commu-
nication between Kingston, ChanTes, and Grey-Town,
had been arranged, through the efforts of a few influen-
tial merchants of Kingston. The vessel selected for the
service was the schooner Florida. She was to sail for
Chagres direct on the lit of each month, and after land-
ing her passengers and mails at Chagres she is to pro-
ceed to Grey-Town ; remain there three days, and on
her return to Kingston is to call at Chagres and to re-
main there two days for mails, passengers, &c. As the
entire voyage will be performed within the month, par-
ties in Kingston will have three days to reply to their
correspondence with the Main.
MARKETS.

KINGSTON (JAMAICA), JAN. 11.7 The market is in.
active, as it usually is at this period of the year, and
large stocks, especially of fish and flour, are accumulating.
The trade are, for the most part, well supplied, and
evince no disposition to purchase on speculation. Prices
are, therefore, greutly in favour of buyers, and will re-
mai❑ so, we expect, until the supplies in second hands
are sold out. Bread-50 barrels Georgetown pilot have
been sold at 18s. Crackers are in good inquiry; there
are not any of Wattson's in market. Corn-200 bags
American have changed hands at 6s. 6d. per bag of two
bushels. South American remains at our last quota-
tions. Flour—The market is overstocked, and prices
have fallen in consequence; the decline in the value of
the article in the United States has also contribued to
depress our market. Four vessels reported in our ship-
ping list have brought over 5,000 barrels. The sales re-
ported are 400 barrels. lloward-street, fresh, at 85,..
(since resold in lots at same figure) ; 200 barrels
Brandywine at 305.; and 1,500 barrels of a mixed lot
at 295.
