JAMAICA.

Our dates from this colony extend to the 22d of June.

Business, though not very lively, has evidently im-
proved; and there is no doubt but the periodical visits
of the American steamers from Chagres, with their nu-
merous passengers, contribute a life and spirit to the
city which it would not otherwise possess.
The weitther had of late been very favourable, al-
though warm. Fine rains had fallen all over the coun-
try, and still continued in moderate showers when the
packet left.
The Jamaica Legislative Assembly was to open on the
27th June, and was looked forward to with some degree
of interest.
The intelligence of the vigorous proceedings of the
Protectionists of the mother country received by the
last packet, had raised the hopes of the colonists, and the
manifesto by Lord Stanley had afforded them great sa-
tisfaction.
Pat ties were still leaving Jamaica for Chagres and
Panama, en route to California; and many had also left
for Angostura, in Venezuela, where gold had been
discovered to be very abundant, especially in the Juruary

River.
The Avon steamer, which arrived June 20th, from
St. Jaz() de Cuba, brings little additional intelligence
from that island. The authorities were under undis-
guised apprehension of the invasion being renewed at
other points than that attacked by Lopez, and were
making adequate preparations for resistance.
The French islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique
continued under martial law, in consequence of the
repeated acts of incendiarism committed by the la-
bourers.
The dates from Havannah are to the 26th of Jame.
The cholera, although it had not entirely disappeared,
was considerably on the decrease, and the fatal dase
were not so numerous as at first.
From Mexico there is nothing in addition to the news
already received via New York. Our private advises,
however, state that the cholera was raging in that city,
and had extended very considerably into the inmost re-
c,sses of the country, and as the proper mode of treat-
ment was not generally known, the fatal eases were ex-
tremely numetous. In the city several additional hos.
pitals has been established nor receiving patients, under
guidance of the Sisters of Charity, who had rendered
themselves extremely useful in alleviating the sufferings
of their fellow-creatures.
Rain was sadly wanted. A severe drought prevailed,
and cattle had died by thousands for want of rain.

COMMERC'IAL INTELLIGENCE.—JAMAICA.
(From De Cordova's 3fercantde Interligencer.)
No improvement has taken place in the condition ;If the
market since the date of our last issue; in fact, business
bas been more than usually dull, while stocks geueraill
are accumulating. The trade purchase very cautiouslyr
in expectation of a decline in prices. The flour market
is largely stocked, but hulders appear to think that pre-
sent rates will be maintained, if not increased, in conse-
quence of high prices in the United States. The supply
of pickled fish is still enormous, particularly of herrings.
The stock of cod-fish is very nearly cleared, and prices
are looking up.
