JAMAICA.

The business of the last fortnight has been
marked with a little more activity than usual.
Coffee in very small supply, and there is no pimento
offering. The health of the island continues good,
and the weather very thy ; and should this weather
continue it will have a very serious influence on
the growing crops.
ANTIQUA.

The commission appointed by the governor for
the trial of the persons concerned in the late riots,
was opened on the 10th instant—the chief-justice
presiding—and up to the latest date 35 true bills
had been found by th 9 grand jury against some 70
persons.
DEMERARA.

The papers report the arrival, on 10th May, of
Governor and Mrs. Wodehouse from Martinique.
The crops were looking well.
TRINIDAD.

No news of any importance. The weather had
been very dry, and the want of rain was much felt.

ST. THOMAS.

The weather had been very fine, and not a
single case of fever had been reported amongst
the shipping.

THE PACIFIC.

By the arrival at Southampton of the West India
mail steamer Atrato we have received files of the
Panama Star and Herald to the 24th ult.
The steamship Lima, Captain Bloomfield, from
Callao, Hay 12, arrived in the harbour of Panama
on the afternoon of the 21st.
In Peru President Castilla had issued orders
for a general election for President, Vice-Presi-
vent, and Congressmen. The Presidential and
Vice-Presidential candidates in the field were Cas-
tilla and La Mar, Elias and Villarte, San Roman
and Castillo. The contest would be between the
two former.
From Valparaiso we have files of papers to the
30th April. The election excitement had died
away, and the fear of an outbreak was for the pre-
sent removed. The Government party had a ma-
jority over the Opposition. Don Jeronimo Urme-
neta, Minister of the Interior, had resigned. Dr.
Phillipi had made an examination of the province
of Valdivia, by order of the Government ; his re-
port was iooked for with much interest. A number
of emigrants from the Tyrol were shortly expected

to arrive in Chili. Coal of good quality has been
discovered in Chiloe.
The latest dates from La Paz are to the 28th.
The President, Dr. Linares, still continued to
adopt rigorous rueisures to check the various re-
volutionary movements. The press had been
silenced, and no person, either publicly or in
private, was allowed to express an opinion on the
acts of the Government. The arrival of General
Belzu was anxiously looked for by the party op-
posed to the present government.
Considerable attention had been recently at-
tracted to the gold washings of Tipuani, and two
companies had been formed in La Paz for the pur-
pose of exploring the mines.
A very severe shock of earthquake was experi-
enced at Lima on the 11th, which lasted 50 seconds,
and the alarm and confusion were frightful. Busi-
ness had been very dull for the last few months,
owing to the few vessels that had been chartered
by the guano contractors. A large fleet of Ameri-
I can vessels was in Callao Bay, waiting for charters.
The ship Gladiator reported having, in the latitude
of Coquimbo, experienced the shock of an earth-
quake, and the brig Globe also reported having
felt the same at sea. Exchange ou London, GO

SPORTING NOTES.

A BATCH OF ANTICIPATIONS.

Racing mon will quite enjoy their daily ride
through the pleasant glades and over the breezy
downs, to and from the picturesque course at
Stockbridge. The sport will be just sufficient to
excite interest and qualify curiosity, without fa-
tiguing the spectator ; whilst the absence of all
crowd and noise will render the proceedings
doubly pleasant. To morrow will be devoted
to the equestrian exploits of the members of
the Bibury Club, and they will agreeably inau-
gurate the sport in the South. The only event on
which I shall " advise," as the Tipotus have it,
shall be the Champagne Stakes, which seems likely
to be won by Marionette.

It has been remarked, with truth, that the list
for the Stockbridge meeting seems like a large slice
cut out of a Goodwood programme. Certes on
Thursday a rsre day's Sport will be afforded, and
it is a significant proof of the popularity of the
Stockbridge meeting, that horses from the far
North are eent to contest its stakes. On Sunday
morning early I met George Abdale seated on the
van which contained Ignoramus, en route to the
Waterloo Station. Thn Triennial Stakes for four-
year-olds will be won by Anton. Beadsman ought
to carry off the Triennial Stakes for three-year-
olds • and the Triennial for two-year-olds may go
to either Bouquet or St. Clarence. The Stock-
bridge Derby I &hall assign to Eclipse ; and the
Mottisfont to Actaeon.
The Steward's Plate is likely to afford a most in-
teresting encounter ; and Fisherman will, perhaps,
a second time encounter Sedbury, and he will also
have to try his strength against Ignoramus. Should
Fisherman have Wells up, I shall not be among,t
his opponents.
Northern turfites will have quite a jolly meeting
at Beverley. The sport commences to-morrow,
and will be brought to a conclusion on Thursday.
The list contains 13 items.

A FRESH MAN.

TATTERSA.LLS'-YESTERDAY.

the early part of the afternoon, as usual at this period
of the year, wag occupied is settling accounts. Herne
supplanted Underhand as first favourite for the Nor-
thumberland Plate. At first Bto 1 was laid against the
latter, whilst 5 to 1 was offered against Herne ; at last,
however, 6 to 1 was the highest offer against Underhand.
For the Goodwood Stakes, Harry Bluff was at the
close as good a favourite as Rosati, who receded from
100 to Btol4to 1. Offers were made to back Harry
Bluff for an even 100 against anything.
The horses inmost request for the Derby were Mujid,
Ticket-of-Leave, Balnamoon, and Electric. Closing
