was felt on Suoday morning, the 19th ult., about
10 minutes to 9 o'clock. Produce was coming
down largely and rapidly to the wharfs and quays,
and sh'ps were busily engaged taking in car-
goes. - The yearly report of the Agent-General
of Immigrants hail just been published, and the
condition and order of the immigrant la,lour in thin
colony was represented in it in a very favourable
aspect. From the tabular_ returns accompanying
the report we learn that the immigrant population
on Dee. 31, 1856, was 6;683, since increased by
the arrivals of 849 adults and 101 children. Of the
number there at the beffinning of the year 3,484
coolies were under the first indenture for five years;
331, having completed their first five years, had.
accepted the $5O bounty, and indented for another
like period ; 596 had taken the' $lO bounty and
' entered upon a year's indenture ; 720 had taken
out certificates of industrial residence ; 657 were
Chinese and 892 children. The deaths of coolies
during the year were 110, and the births -In
1856 -C.() number who returned to India was
240, and the total of arrivals was 566 adults and 61
non-adults. The Agent-General clo4es his report
with the note that upwards' of 100 of the Chinese
under indenture have applied to purchase the
redemption of their remaining year of industrial
residence, and that there is every reason to believe
that on any future importation of these people
more than two-thirds of the number would pay up
their indentures at the expiry of the third year. A.
careful and searching examination had been made
into the causes of the mortality on board this year's
immigrant vessels, the results of which had not
been published ; but it was believed that they all
tended to show that the mortality was mainly owing
to the state in which they were embarked, aided by
the change in diet.
At Martinique the sugar crop was proceeding
prosperously, and high prices were still maintained.
The state of health in the Windward Islands was
