THE WEST INDIA MAIL.

A telegraphic announcement of the arrival of the
West India Mail, and abstract of its news, appeared
in our paper of yesterday. We now present our
readers with more full details from the letters and
journals received.

- The Trent, Captain W. Clarke, arrived at South-
ampton yesterday morning, and landed her mails,
under the charge of Lieutenant Reilly, R.N., Admi-
ralty agent. The Trent's dates are :—Tampico, Jan.
17; Vera Cruz, Jan..lB ; Havannab, Jan. 27; Hon-
duras, Jan. 11 ; Jamaica, Jan. 22; Demerara, Jan.
18 ; Trinidad, Jan. 20 ; Grenada, Jan. 23 ; Barbadoes,
Jan. 28; Martinique, Jan. 30; La Guayrs, Jan. 22;
St. Jago de Cuba, Jan. 18 ; Porto Rico, Jan. 28 ; St.
Thomas's, Feb. 1; Bermuda, Feb. 8. There is no
mail from Antigua. The Trent had a long outward
passage to Bermuda, owing to the outward bearing of
her paddle-shaft, which bad been damaged by heavy
weather and strong westerly gales, and was in conse-
quence ordered home from St. Thomas, via Bermuda,
with the Northern Islands and Gulf mails. The
Thames carried on the mails conveyed out by the
Trent to Jamaica and the Gulf, from St. Thomas, on
the 30th January. The Eagle was at St. Thomas's
on 2d February; the Clyde (which sailed from
Southampton -and did not reach Bermuda on the
voyage out) was at Bermuda on the 7th February.
The Trent brings 531,392 dollars, 80,000 of which
are on account of the Mexican dividends. The re-
mainder of her freight consists of 163 serons cochi-
neal; 44 serons jalap • T 4 cases cigars; 63 half-bar-
rels arrowroot; 3 bags frijoles; and 44 packages
sundries.

There were 12 passengers on board the Trent,
among whom were Lieutenant-Colonel Andrews,
R.A., and lady ; and M. Cloquet, Thlgian Consul at
Guatemala. The Trent has also brought home—
Invalids-2 sergeants, 10 private!, 6 women, and 110
children, of the 42d, from Bermuda. Distressed

seaman- -and-33 -men, 6 women
and I child. These were emigrants who had been
wrecked. As far as we could learn, they paid their
passage to Liverpool at New York. Their ship was a
new one, but through some cu!pable carelessness,
orne port or other holes were left open when
she sailed, and was not discovered before they
were at sea, and had made several feet of
water. The cargo was a loose one of peas and
Leans, which choked up the pumps. The ship be-
came a wreck, and the crew plundered the pas
sengers (luring the panic, and set the ship on fire.
An English barque picked up the emigrants in the
Gulf of Florida, and being bound for Havanna!), she
thought it best to land them at Bermuda. In land
ing them the ship went on shore and was wrecked,
and the generous captain lost his ship. The ewi
grants were treated well on board the Trent, for
which they are very grateful. They are ♦ery desti-
tute.

38. per bushel, and Philadelphia 6s. 6d. per bag. Sa-
vanilla is sold at 33. 3d. per bushel.
, Flour—Scarcely, if any change has occurred in the
,market for this article since our last, and no operations
A,,e, any extent have ;taken place. Baltimore and Phila-
delphia are slowly moved at 323.. which rate does not
,cover the cost of importation. The market is heavily
suppliod.
Freights—Small shipments of sugar aro taken at 3s.
to 3s. 6d, There is very little produce offering, and se-
veral British vessels are taking cargoes of logwood for
Liverpool.
Gold--American eagles are worth 2i to 3 per cent.
on 4s. for the dollar.
Hams—Lancashire are taken at 10d., and Amer:can
at lid. to Bd. Ten barrels of the latter changed hands
at the last-named rate. The stock has been consider-
ably reduced, and the article is wanted.
Malt—London bottled porter is dull at 7s. Ale is
rather better in demand at 7s. 6d. per dozen.
Rum—Since the passing of the Bill rum has been in
brisk demand, at 2s. 9d. to 2s. 10d. It is now generally
held at 3s. per gallon for export, equal to 4s. 6d. for
home consumption.
Salt—Coarse demands ss. per barrel. Liverpool
atoved is very abundant, and dull at sa. 6d. to 6s. per
sack.
