The Parana experienced fine weather, with light
airs, the eatly part of the voyage home ; and from
the We.tern Isles, strong gales, with heavy sea from
south to west. She brings 34 paisengers, among
whorl are Mr. Jams Crawford, her Majesty's
Consul from Guadeloupe ; Commander de Leon,
from Havanuah ; Lieut. Davis, from St. Lucia,
&c. On freight she has $1,711,360 in specie, or,
say, 342,2721. sterling, and a miscellaneous ..;argo,
including 288 b igs of cocoa from Trinidad. A re-
mittance of golddust from Carthagene, of the value
of $127,000, has come by this steamer, and a large
consignment of bark.

The news from Jamaica is in every respect unim-
portant. The westher was favourable for cultiva-
ticin, and the ensuing crops presented every indica-
tion of an abundant yield. A project was on foot
for the purpose of erecting a "patent slip" in the
harbour of Kingston, and the probable cost esti-
mated at 25,0001. Subscriptions to a large amount
had already been col lec.ed.

De Cordova's Mereantileintelligeneer of the 10th
of Sept. reports a dull state of business for the pre-
ceding fortnight. Small lots of coffee remaining
from the old crop had been sold at 445. to 465. per
1001 h. There had been no arrivals of flour, but the
supply in hand was adequate for the- season ; re-
sales had been made at 38s. per barrel for parcels
some little time at market, and a small lot by last
airiv,d had sold at 40s.

Exehances on London were quoted as under
Jamaica and Colonial Banks.-90 days, 1 per cent.
pin. ; 60 days, 11 per cent. pm. ; 30 days, 2 per
cent. pm. Merchants' Bills.-90 days, par. On
New York.-60 days, 14- per cent. pm. merchants'
bills.

The annual session of the Barbadoes Colonial
Parliament came to a close on the 20th of August.
The annual elections of repre,entatives for the
island were to take place on the 15th of Sept.
At Grenada a meeting of the Executive Council
had been held for the special purpose of delibe-
rating upon a despatch of his Excellency Governor
Mucks, bearing reference to the immigration ques-
tion. A Royal order in Council, dated July 16,
makes known her Majesty's pleasure to leave to
their operation the amended Road Act and the Tax
Act, passed on the 23d of March of last by the local
Legi-laiure, which the inhabitants had so largely
petitioned against. There had been a great deal of
raie during the fortnight. .
The Court of Policy at D,,merara bad had two
sittings sinci the last m,il, but nothing particular
was transacted. The prson hulk neat ly foundered
during a stdf breeze, and the prispners had a nar-
row esc .pe of going to the bottom ; she has since
been abandoned, the civil engineer reporting her to
be extremely leaky, and her bottom planking so
ro ten as not to bear caulking, and she is to be
broken up. Trade continued dull among the mer-
chants. Produce came in slowly, but freights were
ices scarce than they were a short time back.
The Royal Gazette, of Vie Bth, has the following
items respecting the recent gold discoveries :—" A.
commission, consisting of the Hon. Dr. Blair, Sir
W. H. Holmes, Mr. W. H. Campbell, and Mr.
M'Clintock, have proceeded on a tour of explora •
tiou through the interior, with the view of reaching
the-gold wines on the river Yuruari. The three
first-named gentlemen started from George Town
iu the revenue schooner Pheasant, and proceeded
to the river Waiui, up which they ascended to the
place of rendezvous, where they met Mr. M'Clin-
took and a strong party of Indian guides. Some
Indians who came to George Town on Friday last
brought intelligence that the party intended to start
on the following day on their journey np the river.
The commissioners purpose ascending the Waini
until they come to the .Barama, up which they will
proceed in their bateaux to its source. From that
point they will strike across the country to the
Cuyuni, and then track up that stream to the con-
fluence of the Yuruari. They will ascend the latter
river until they come to Tupuquen, the site of the
gold mines. They are expected to return in about
six weeks. A gentleman arrived in the city last
week from Venezuela, bringing with him about
15 ozs. of gold. Ile-had visited the mines, and re-
pre,ents the gold to be abundant, and the mining
operations as being carried on in the most primi-
tive fashion."
At Trinidad the weather was wet. 288 bags of
coc •a were shipped by the Parana.•
The latest accounts from the French colony ci
Martinique state that the yellow fever had not dig-
app..artd among the shipping at St.. Pierre.
IntelligeMe from San Domingo to the 7th Sept.
had been received at St. Thomas.. Gen. Santana
had. reached the army of the Provisional Govern-
ment of Santiago and assumed its command. Two
conferences, by means of flags of truce, had passed
between the Provisional army and that within the
walls of the city, _ and a cessation of arms for 24
hours had been detertnin( d on, in order to ascer-
tain whether a pacific solution of the internal feuds
could not be come to.

From Mexico there is no news of importance.
Troubles were again ioukel for, many conspiracies
being on foot LI gaiiist,t b e overnment of Conlon-
fort, mostly stirred up by the priests.

CITY, Two o'CLooK.'
Letter 3 fram Liverpool report that the Cotton

Market yesterday closed quietly, and prices were
unaltered. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales,
of which the speculators took 500. The Railway
Share Market manifeste I a rather quiet appear-
ance, but prices were steady.
During the week the transactions in foreign and
colonial produce have ben to a fair extent, but
speculation can tinues quiet, and the demand chiefly
emanates from the trade, who are merely obtaining
supplies for immediate consumption. The quota-
tions for most articles, however, remain firm, and
as the importers do not supply the market to too
great an extent, they are enabledto prevent any ma-
terial variation. The accounts frown India have
incieweil the inquiry for Saltpetre, for which a
slight advance has been established, but there is
now less animation. Grocery and the re-
finery descriptions of sugar are at steady
rates, - but the inferior kinds are a trifle
lower. Coffee is dull. Tea is maintained
at 142 d. for common Congon ; and in rice a large.
business has been transacted at late values. In
other articles, such as spices, sago, cocoa, and
indigo, there has not ben any variation of im-
portance, bu t cochineal is ld. to 2,1. perlb, cheaper.
Tallow is heavy, and P.Y. C. is 575. 3d. to 575. 6d.
per cwt. on the spot. The market for cotton is
dull, but there is no change in prices to notice.
It is now estimated that the steamer Colombo,
to leave on Sunday for India and Coins, will con-
vey about 500,0001. in silver, and the Arrato,
which-has left to-day for the West Indies will take
out 3,6701. monthly .in gold. This diminished
drain encourages the belief that the bullion in the
Bank of England will increase, because daring the
remainder of the year large arrivals of gold from
Australia may be calculated upon. The import
of silver from the Continent during the last week
has been limited, and thus very few remittances
of gold in payment have to be made. Yesterday,
however, about 12,00‘1/. was withdrawn from the
Bank of England for this purpose.
There was a slight improvement on the Paris
• Bourse yesterday, the Three per Cent. Rentes
having closed at 68.20 for money and 68'5 for the
end of the month. Bank of Fratice. shares are
rapidly advancing and they. are. now 2,900.
As a proof that the monetary affairs of France
are improving, it is stated that important measures
are contemplated by the Bank of Francs ; amongst
others, it is expected that the question of making
advances of 80 instead of 60 per cent. upon Rentes,
and 60 instead of 40 per cent. upon Railway shares
will be entertained. Some persons expected a
reduction of the rate of discount-at the late meet-
ing of the Council ; but this seems to have been
considered premature.
The Money market is now rather quieter, hut
there is no alteration in the quotations, and full
terms are in all cases, demanded. Ample provision
appears to haVe been made for the commercial bills
falling due on Saalirday—the 4th being on Sunday
--and it is unierstood. that the engagements are
numerous and heavy.
In the English Stock market there is very little
alteration to report, but the quotations appear
rather weaker, although business is dull. Nora ith-
standing the buoyancy apparent during the last two
days, some of the speculators are of opinion that
the recent improvement has not been war-
ranted, and to their sales must be attri-
buted the' flatness now apparent.. Purchasers
for investment are made to a limited extent, but
they Have little or no influence upon the market.
Consols have been 901 # for m n-ty, and 90
for account. They are now 90i and 901 # respec-
tively. India Stock is 208, and Bank Stock 219.
Exchequer Bills are 9s. to ss. discount.
Very few transactions have been record.-cl in the
Foreign Market, but the prices are well maintained.
