rasolutirms approving the project. His Excellency
the Governor had, in reply to a deputation, pro-
mised his cordial support to the measure. The.
weather at Barhadoe3 continued cool, and some-
what tantalising for crop opetations, which had,
nevertheless, b-en active, and a fair amount of
sugar bad been made. 1,363 blids. 89 tierces and
76 barrels had been shipped to the 26th till. The
health of the island was all that could bo desired.
From Trinidad advices are to the 27th ult. A
detachment of the left wing of the 41st Regiment,
under the command of Major Bush, arrived from
Portsmouth on the 17th, in excellent health and
spirits. In the absence of arrivals flour hid taken
an unexpected rise since the previous mail. Pro-
visions had also improved in value. 1,350 bags of
East India rice (yellow), horn Demerara and Bar-
badoes, had arrived, and remained mostly in the
hands of importers, as the offers made for it by
retail dealers were not sufficient to cover cost and
charges. Dry and pickled fish was getting in
demand, which would continue during the season
of Lent. In produce there was a vary ,dull fort-
night to report, little or no business being done.
The weather had been so exceedingly wet that
nearly all estates had suspended crop operations for
the moment, and the season bore all the appear-
ance of continuing a wet one. Tonnage not re-
quired just now.
His Excellency Governor Kortright met the Le-
gislature of Granada on the 17th ult., and opened
the session. The bill for incorporating the town
of St. George and enabling other districts of the
colony to incorporate themselves had been thrown
out. The -Weather had turned out very unfavour-
able for the reaping of the sugar crop, in which a
general beginning had been made throughout the
Colony. Heavy rains daily interrupted the manu-
facturing process, and ships which ought to have
had quick despatch were thus detained waiting for
produce. The public health continued good.
Business was pretty brisk, and expected to continue
improving.
From Martinique we hear that the unfortunate
inhabitants of Gros Morrie have been the victims of
another fire, which befel them on the 2d of Feb ,
and totally consumed the few houses which had
escaped the conflagration of Christmas Eve. Sub-
scriptions were being raised in Guadaloupe and
Martinique for the benefit of the sufferers. Sugar
was reported scarce in the St. Pierre market, and
the prices there ranged from 32f. to 35f. per 50
kilogrammes (about to 265. to 293. per cwt.)

iinmediately on the matter.

opinion- that this negotiation of the treaty is im-
possible in its present form.
Much sensation of an unplesant nature had been
created by the decision of the Supreme Court in the
"bred Scott" case. It was to the effect that the
plaintiff, Dred, being of African blood, was not a
_citizen of the United States. The seven Demo-
cratic judges prdnounced for the slavery of Dred,
the two Whig judges for his freedom.
The Secretary of the Navy has ordered the
United States' steam-friga'es Niagara and Missis-
sippi to be equipped for sea with all possible de-

tween Newfoundland and. Ireland, in compliance

LIVERPOOL, MAUCH 23.
The Liverpool and Philadelphia Company's

mander, arrived this morning from New York.
She left that port early on the morning of the 10th,
but only brings advices to the 9th inst., and had
30 passengers.
On the 10th inst., off Sandy Hook, the City of

'Buchanan called his Cabinet together early on the
morning of the 7tth, and the sitting was a pie-
tracted one. They were to meet every day until
all the urgent business before them was dis-
posed of.
Reciprocating the courteous reception which Mr.
Dallas, the United States' Minister at the Court of
St, James's, received at the bands of the mercli ants
of this port, the New York Chamber of Commerce
resolved to extend a welcome to our ambassador,
Lord Napier ; and with this view a deputation
waited upon his lordship at the Clarendon Rotel.
Atlais request the ceremony was entirely private.
-Among the merchants present were Messrs. M. R.
• Grinnell, James G. King, Thomas Tilletson, Henry
A. Colt, Deming Duer, Adam Norrie,
James De
Peyster 9gden, E. E, Morgan, Henry Grinnell,
John, A. Stevens, Alexander Duncan, and P.
Petit. The deputation was introduced by Mr.
Joseph Fowler, her Majesty's acting Vice. Consul ;
.their reception was cordial, and the impression
produced on both sides an agreeable one. Mr.
Petit, the President of the Chamber of Commerce,
addressed his lordship as follows :

"In behalf of the Chamber of Commerce of New York
we have called to pay our respects to you, and to offer
to you, your lady, and family, a cordial welcome to the
shores of our country ; in doing which we but give ut-
terance to the sentiments of the whole community.
Your arrival in this country is the more interesting, as
it will fully restore the diplomatic relations of Great
Britain and the United States of America, and will we
trust be the means of adding strength to the ties of con-
sanguinity, friendship, and interest which bind these
nations together. On this continued harmony of feeling
and action depend not only the prosperity of two great
And powerful nations, but the advancement of commerce,
