JAMAICA.
We have intelligence from this island to the 10t11
November, and take the following extracts from
the Morning Journal of that date : . _

"The most noteworthy subject of local interest Eine°
the sailing of the last packet is the emitinual encouraging
reports which have been received from the mines. If
there bo anything wanting to clear up all doubts, if any
exist, as to our mineral wealth, it is to be found in the
opinions of disinterested parties, who have recently
visited some of the mines. Two mining agents, Captains
George and Middleton, gentlemen of reputed geological
knowledge, arrived here in the Saladie, on their way to
the Mariquita Mines in New Granada. Thesegentlemee,
having kindly yielded to the solicitation of some persona
connected with the Ellerslie and Bardowie Mining
Company, have examined the mine at Salisbury Plains
and made a favourable report.
"We are awry to find that with all the agitation
that has been created on the subject, the slave trade is
still being actively carried on, an addit,onal proof of
which is furnished in the intelligence brought here some
few days ago, by Capt. Ergas, of the Ocean Queen, who
reported that on the morning of the 16th, when about 3
days' sail westward from Havana, he was boarded by a.
small Spanish steamer, the officer from which over•
hauled his papers, and made a minute search of bis
vessel for the purpose evidently of ascertaining whethl
she was a slaver. As everything, however, was
fours
correct, Captain Ergas was allowed to go on his course.
"On the evening of the same day, however, a feW
miles east of the Colorados, a fine barque, carrying an
American ensign,
being in company, the same stearne!
suddenly darted out from one of the small inlets wit°
which the coast abounds, and soon ran alongside the
barque, which was immediately boarded. In a few'
seconds the American flag was hauled down and the
Spanish flag run up, and before 10 minutes bad elapsed
every sail on board the barque was. close reefed. The
steamer then made fast a hawser to the prize, and towed
her nff in the direction of Havana. There can be 0°
doubt she was full of slaves.
" Two vacancies have been created in the Honourable
House of Assembly, by the lamented death of Mr.
Franklin, senior representative of the parish of
Thomas in the East, and by the resignation of Mr. 1‘‘•10
Bravo, representative of the parish of St. Dorothy, 'fin_
has resigned in consequence of having accepted an office
of emolument under the Crown. Two other vacaniosar,a
likely to occur, it being the intention of Mr. A..!,
Lindo, representative of Trelawny, and Mr. Franc'
Stanford, representative of Metcalfe, to retire.
" The Circuit Court for the precinct of St. Catherine
was opened on Monday, the 2d November, before the
Hon. Bryan Edwards, Chief Justice. His Honour, la
charging the jury, remarked that the number of cases
on the calendar (nineteen) was larger than usual, but
they were all cases of an ordinary character, and did not
require any particular observations from him. •
" The Legislature will assemble to-day for the despatch
of business.
"Trade has been extremely dull for the last fortnight,
and the provision market is very badly supplied, espe-
cially in flour, pork, and fish.
" We regret to announce that there have been cases of
yellow fever in this city and its vicinity, but we are glad
to say that the health of the island is otherwise good.
COMMERCIAL INTELL[GENCE.

--- ---
During the past fortnight only two vessels have
arrived from the. United States. All American
stuffs have been scarce, and the financial difficulties
in the United States have operated to deter shiPd
meats. Pricos are consequently very high, and
consumption has been sontewhat checked, and sales
very limited. In domestic products pimento is (I!:
pressed, quotations as last. Coffee promises fair_
and the first deliveries are coming to market. Log"
wood is very inactive.

MEXICO.
The political news is to the effect that President
Comonfort would have especial powers from
Coin;
press. under certain restrictions, which he w
rat!e troops in order to put down any revolutionart
spirit shown by the reactionist party.
also be empowered to raise five millions He would
for financial expenses. He is of doll.art3
any treaty with foreign powers, by which. territo.ll
would be alienated. The disturbances in Guerriro
still continue ; and Gen. Alvarez is beleagueredhl:
the Indians. The state of the Republic is rathef
prohibited from inaking
gloomy ; but it is to be hoped that the Congressz!-(
President will work together, when they yroulu
doubtless succeed in extricating themselves from
their present difficulties, and fortify their posittor;
against their political opponents, who have nO
n
head to direct their efforts.

DEME RARA.
The Court of Policy have met twice during thefortnight, but the business transacted was of 110
public importance. The commission sent to explore
the interior of the colony have returned, and report
valuable discoveries, having found gold, platina, and
iron in the British territory. The weather continues
fine, and is favourable for ripening canes. Manu-
facturing operations are being carried on with great
was
vigour throughout the colony, and produce
coming in rapidly for shipment. Import 3 in fair
supply w ith a limited demand. Exports coming
freely to market. Tonnage ample.

PANAMA.
An attempt has been made to assassinate gr•
Monsalv., the editor of the Spanish portion of the
Panama Star and Herald.
The rumour of the massacre of upwards of 100
emigrants on their way from the Great Salt Lake
City to Panama is confirmed.

SOUTH PACIFIC.
The South Pacific mail arrived at Panama on the
6th ult., with the semi-monthly mails, and 127,74 v
dollars in specie. The dates are Valparaiso, Oct.
115 ; Caldera, 18 ; 'shy, 22 ; Callao, 26 ; Paita, 2'7 ;
Guayaquil, 28.
From Chili we learn that, since the new Minis-
ters have entered on the discharge of their duties,
perfect tranquillity has been restored, and all parties
are uniting in co-operation with the Cabinet. Ao
extraordivaty session of Congress has been called to
consider the estimates for 1858.
The revolutionary party in the Republic o
Bolivia, under Dr. Linares, have almost succeeded
in their endeavours to upset the Government Of
t
General Cordoba, who is almost driven to the
extremity, and will b 3 soon compelled either to
flee or surrender.
From Peru we learn that the revolution acoPearol
to be no nearer its termination. The slege ife
Arequipa is still progressing,
with muchlossf l
on both sides.
