The Royal Gazette of Demerara, in its review ,6
June 24, says, :—" During- the WI fortnight little
has happened in the colony ti break the moaotouy - •
of the dull and heavy wet season. Rain,- and -not • -
much else, has been the ordsr,-both of the day and
the night. In fact, we are now in the midst of-the -
most severe wet season that has been expriented'
for many years past, and everything, as it in sym-
pathy with the earth and sky, is murky in the ex-
treme.
Wi la the end of the session of the Cum-
Lined Court the Hon. Peter Rose ceased to be a
member of the Court of Policy, and it became ne-
cessary to return two gentlemen, one of whom
should be choien to supply the vacancy. Mr. Por-
ter, who retnrnedto the colony. by the last mail, and
Mr. Rose, were the two returned by the College of
Electors-, and the former gentleman was selected by
the °Ara of Policy. Mr. Porter has, however, de-
clined to take his seat, and another election will
take place. The non-arrival of American vessels for
some time past is beginning to be rather a serious
mater. It is now 17 days since any impartation
of bre idstuffs has taken place, and we understand
that flour is selling at $lO a barrel, and of course
other provisions at a proportionate increase. The
schooner Excelsior has arreeed from Surinam, -
bringing as passengers fire lito men, who had
escaped from. Cayenne in an open boat, and
were picked up by the schozina on her voyage.
The exports for the fottnight are :—Sugars, 1.349,
hhds. 30-tierces, 280 barrels, and ICI L .6a ;
'743 [Ai lairds., and 15 barrels ; molasses,
6 casks ; ricer, 4,693 bags."
The Barbadoe. Globe of June 24-taya :—" The
weather continues highly favourable,
bountiful showers in every part of the island,- and
the improvement has been very marked. Crop ope-
rations are rapidly coming to a close, and by the
end of the present month very little sugar will re- .
main to be made. We stated in a former mail Sum-
maey that the crop was likely to reach 50;000 hhds.,
and the information which' daily reaches us con-
firms
that opinion. The q uantity of produce shipped ,
to date is—sugar, 43,120 lards.; molasses, 6,399
puns., 171 hhds., 397 brie. ; rum, 277 hhds. 606
puns. Thera has been no meeting of the House of
Assembly since our last summary, and politics ex-
cite no interest. Native provisions continue scarce, :
but there Las been no lack of American arrivals,
and the market continues well supplied with bread
stuffs. The health of the colony continues good."
The Antigua Register of June 22says :—" During
the past week the country was blessed with copious
showers, which have conferred unspeakable benefit
on all parts of the island. So far as we can learn,
the lain has been general and abundant every-
wht re, and the country is again assuming its ver-
dant garb."
The Record, of Grenada (June 23) reports as
follows :—" We have had a continuance of fine
rains clur;ng tl e week, and on Sunday night much
thunder and lightning. The quantity of rain in
this disttict is 3 inches 12 ]ooths. The sugar
_crop
is now nearly over, and the weather being season-
able the planters are making the most of it for the
ensuing crop. The present year's crop will not b
far from 5,000 hide:

impressions are that they will disperse on our ap-
proach. It is in becoming fugitives that they grow
dangerous to us. It is their sole source of tempo-
