private sales 4s. 3d. for 18 proof; the tendency
was downward. Codfish was in large supply,
which, together with the depressing effect of the
rainy weather, kept down prices, and rendered it
difficult to make sales. In pork sales were reported
at 1285., at which figure one lot had been taken.
Freights were scarce. Exchanges on London (Ja-

From Demerara we hear that the accounts of the
gold diggings at the Yuruari continued to excite a
great deal of interest in the colony. The Court of
Policy had held one sitting since the last mail, and
were occupied with matters relating to steam navi-
gation and the exploration of the interior of the
colony. The weather latterly had been very wet,
and thunderstorms frequent and of long duration.
Planters were anxiously looking forward to a change
of weather to bring the canes to maturity. Trade
was dull. Freights were scarce,' and tonnage
abundant.

Bank of Omaha and the Fontanelle Bank at Belle-river,
both of which were established within ' th 4 last twelve-
months, we learn by despatch to the Chicago Press, are
reported to be bad failures—whi.ch means, figuratively,
that they Lave gone up as in a balloon and will never
come down."_

The Providence Journal (Rhode Island) of the
2d slys :
" The banks are still nwilling to expand, although
they feel relieved from the necessity of further contrac-
tion, and can aff,rd some assistance to the pressing wants
of customers who have notes to pay. The rates for
money in the street are unmitigated, but the demand has
fallen off. The banks accommodate when the payments
are doe to themselves. Men who have to make pay-
ments abroad are obliged to submit to anything that is
demanded. Higher rates were paid yesterday than we
have heard of before. Much embarrassment is felt about
exchanges, and in payments duo to New York and Bos-
ton— The rate on New York is 5 per cent., but where
it enters into the contract for interest it is often higher."
The Cincinnati Gazette of th 3 30th ultimo ob-
serves :
" The feeling in the mercantile community was
stronger to-day than previously iu favour of a general
suspension. The demand for Eastern exchange continues
pressing, but no considerable amounts are to be had at
any price. The range to-day for the few draughts sold
was from 3 t 6 prem. Gold is also very scarce, and
those who hold it are not disposed to sell. The brokers
we not disposed to encourage the retail demand, though
this is supplied to some extent at 5 to 10 per cent.
There is no change in the character of our par cur-
rency, which consists of Ohio, Indiana (State Bank),
Kentucky, and Louisiana paper. All other paper is a,
a dim:J.)llot, the rates varying from 5 to 15 per cent. for
solvent banks, including those that have suspended
specie payment. Trust Co. checques were offered to-
day at 25c."

At Barbadoes his Excellency the Governor
opened the legislative session on the 16th ult., and
Mr. Thomas, the senior member for St. George,
was elected Speaker for the 11th time. The rainy
season had sot in with fullevigour, but the planters
were most sanguine of having their average crop.
Mr. Walker had left Barbadoes to resume the ad-
ministration of the Government at St. Vincent's, his
Excellency Mr Eyre having obtained a further
leave of absence for four months.

There is nothing of interest from Granada. Little
or no change had occurred in the weather, which
continued favourable for the planters, and crops of
all descriptions promised well. The harbours were
destitute of shipping, and the markets all well
stocked. The sanitary condition of the island was
!..atisfactory. Of the eight sick men of her Majesty's
ship Brilliant lauded here two weeks ago, most of
them in a dying state, two had survived and were
doing Well, under the skilful treatment of Dr.
Aquart. The Brilliant sailed for Nova Scotia on
the 1311 ult., after au interchange of complimen-
tary letters between the gallant officer commanding
her and his Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor of
the colony.
