DEMER A.RA
The following review for home readers is from
the Colonist :

" The chief local even'. of the last fortnight has been
the banquet given by tue colot.;sts to Governor Wode-
house as a mark of respect acd esteem, on his return to
the colony after an absence of nearly ten months, and ae
a testimony of the high sense entertained by them of the
services rendered by his Excellency, in devoting himself
so assiduously to promote the interests and welfare of
the colony upon all occasions. The dinner took plane at
the Assembly Rooms on the 29th ult.
" The weather still continues wet, and the manufac-
turing operations will be greatly impeded by its con-
tinuance.

" The exports of produce daring the last fortnight
have been : Sugar, 643 hhds., 82 trcs , 57i barrels ;
rum, 441 puny., 76 hhds., 49 brie. ; molasses, 25 puns.;
timber, 49 logs.
" We copy the following city artiele from the Meroctn.
tile latelligencer :
" There have been several arrivals of bread stuffs,
direct, and from Barbadoes. Flour—Considerable sales
to-day at 71 dollars, and a desire on the part of dealers
to purchese ; in er)nfequence some holders ask 8 dollars.
Meal dull. A oirgo of codfish from Newfoundland is
retailing at di dollars per quintal. Stock very small.
Pickled fish of all kinds much wanted.
`"Exports scarce, in consequenee of.continued wet
weather. Not many vessels in the river, but freights
continue low.

The weather throughout all the islands has been
most favourable for reaping the present crop. The
report of the young cane is most promising. La-
bour is very scarce everywhere. The whole of the
islands are at present healthy.
A number of the Africans lately imported by the
French Government; into Martinique bad made
their escape to the neighbouring islands of Domi-
nique and St Lucia. A demand of the Martinique
authorities for the restoration had not been com-
plied with. Yellow fever and small-pox is very
prevalent at Ilavannah.
