Stations of the company's steamships :—The
Clyde, at St. Thomas's, for the Spanish Main ; the
Conway, from the Windward Islands, for Jamaica :
the Dee, on the Spanish Main ; the Derwent, at
Barbadoes, for the Leeward Islands ; the Eagle, at
Jamaica, for British Honduras ' • the Thames, from
the Spanish Main, refitting at St. Thomas's ; the
Tient, from Jamaica, for the Windward Islands.
Her Majesty's ship Brunswick was at Colon ; the
Tartar at Greytown ; and the Imaum at Jamaica.
Our advices from Jamaica extend to the 27th ult.
The news is altogether devoid of interest. Com-
mercial matters were extremely dull, and the rainy
season had set in in good earnest—it rained nearly
a whole week without intermission. At Intervali
there were vivid flashes of lightning, accompanied
by terrific peals of thunder. The ensuing crops
present a very cheerful appearance, and exhibit
every indication of yielding abundantly. The island
was comparatively healthy. The brig Mary was
lost in the Anegada Passage, on. her way from
Porto Rico to Kingston, but we are happy to state
that all on board were saved.
