EAST INDIA AND CHINA MAILS.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEC.IRAPLI.)
SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY MORNING.

A flue change had taken place in the weather at
Graiada, all in favour of the sugar planters, and
more sugar had probably been turned out during
the fortnight than during the whole of the crop time
before. There had not been two wet days since the
del attar e of the previous mail, and there was every
appearance of a continuance of the same we ather.
The yield of the cane this year was not up to a sa-
tisfactory average, but this was compensa ed for in
the qual ty of the sugar generally. Trale was brisk
in every department.
At Demerara the annual session of the Combined
Court opened on the 3d of April, and the Court
adjoutned to the 27th. A Pew Militia Bill had been
introduced into the Court of Policy, awl read a first
time ; it proposed to do away with the property
qualification, and to pay the non-commissioned
officers and men in the line companies for the time
they are on duty. Dr. Henery had resigned his
seat in the Court of Policy, and another vacancy
will be caused at the end of the financial sea-ion by.
the retirement of the Hon. Thcs. Porter. Several
sugar estates have recently changed hands at very
good prices. The weather
.hi=d been dry during
the fortnight, with occasional showers. Vegeta-
tion exhibited a marked improvement, and
the young canes were recovering from the
chilling effects of the previous weather. The cho-
lera still lingered in some of the rural districts ;
but it was evidently dying out. A proclama-
tion was issued by the Governor on the 7th inst.,
founded on the report of the Surgeon-General,
the chairman of the Cent-al Board of Health,
declaring that the clsole.ra had ceased to exist in the
port and city of Georgetown. The exports from
the c.deny during the fortnight were as follows :
Sugir, 1,172 hhchs. , 77 tierc- s, 488 bar' els, 37
bags ; rum, 510 puncheons, 111. hlels., 35 barrels ;
molasses, 74 puncheons ; flour, 400 barrels ; meal,
108 barrels ; corn, 108 barrels ; old metal, 80
tons ; crackers, 198 barrels ; ric?, 4,407' bags ;
timber, 7,035 feet ; pork, 95 barrels ; cigars, 4,000 ;
cocoa nuts, 3,000.
Sugar making was being pushed on vigorouily at
St. Vincent under a favourable change of weather.
Advices from St. Lucia ate to the 11th of April.
The excessive wet weather had changed to bright
snnshine, and the plapt9rs had commenced reaping
with all speed. This year's crop was expected io
be about an average one. The prices of colonial
produce were highly satisfactory. Molasszs com-
manded in the local market lid. t 3 ls. a-gallon.
Sugar found a ready sale at 20s. to 255, per cut. ;
rum, 2s. per gallon prooi. Cocoa was bought up
at 4d. to sd. per lb. as soon as it could be brought
into town. Logwood fetched 32 per ton ; the
sale had not been as brisk since the last advices
from home. Thy supply of tonnage was abundant ;
freights to England, 2s. 9d. to 3s. per cwt. Some
matters of importance had been decided by the
Island Legislature. The Board had provided a
salary for the Deputy-Registrar of 2001. per annum,
and the question, raised for the first time in the
island, of granting a pension to a public servant,
had been derided in the affirmative. A majority
of the Council declared that any public officer who
serves the Government faithfully shall receive,
when incapaeitated by old age or infirmity, one
half the salary to which he was entltled when in
the active discharge of his duties. The Board had
also received at the hands of Governor Hinclis an
act of justice in ,discontinuing the payment for
extra clerkage in Barbadoes. The saving to the
colony under the 'new arrangement stands thus :
The Registrar's salary £4oo 0 0
Clerk ti the Registrar, ditto B4 0 0
Clerkage in Barbadoe=

Deduct
Deputy Rntistrar's salary... £2OO
Pension to Mr. Fauchier 9O

290 0 0

Not saving £257 6 8

These arrangements, however, had not been sanc-
tioned by competent authority, and had still t 3 lie
ratified and confirmed by the Legislative Council
when duly constituted. The asAitint clerk in the
Government office, Mr. Delomel, was expected to
receive the appointment of Deputy Registrar, and
the clerk to the Registrar, Mr. Dick (whose office
will be al)oliilred), to be promoted to the a.,:,sist ant-
clerkship.
The Swedish sloop of war Lagerbjelke, 18 guns,
Captain Brait, arrived at St. Thomas's on the
afte noon of the Bth of April, from St. Bar holo-
mew's, and exchanged salutes the following morn-
ing. She was expected to proceed to England.

THE PACIFIC.

SOUTHAMPTON, MAY 1

By the Magdalena steamer, ariived from the
West Indies, we have advices from Panama to the
7th of April. The steamer Bogota, from Lima,
March 26 with the semi-monthly Pacific mail, ar-
rivel at Panama on the morning of the 6th. She
had 32 paesengere, among them Senor Goni,
Minister from Span to Chil', on his return to
Madrid, and the crew of the American ship Cathe-
dral, lust off Cape Horn on their way home.
Dates from Valparaiso are to March 15. The
moat important news is the arrest of Senors Gat fins,
Ler-rein, and others, by order of the Government,
charged with attempting to get up a revolutionary
movement. It was generally supposed that there
existed no foundation for this course on the part of
the Government, and public opinion was strong!er
against the Government fir its action in this mat-
t r as calculated to produce unnecessary alarm and
disturb public tranquillity. Tne British Govern-
ment has presente l Captain Cavassa, of the Chilian
ship Oriente, with a gold medal, for having saved
the lives of the crew of the British ship Enterprise.
The Consular Convention between Chili and Ecu-
ador has le- en promulgated. Don Cayetano Ast a-
bursua,ga, it was said, had been appointed Minister
from Chili to Costa Rica, and would shor ly leave
for Punta Arenas-in a vessel of war.
Business at Valparaiso for the fortnight ending
on the 15th had leen steady, but not so active as at
date of last report. The scarcity of specie had oc-
casioned som difficulty in meeting payments, and a
few small failures and suspensions had taken place,
but the city commerce was not much affected there-
by. The market was generally well stocked, and
the importations during the fortnight had not been
large.
Nine veKels, of 5,770 tons, were loading at the
Chincha Islands, by permit from General Vivant:o ;
several vessels had already sailed with cargoes ob-
tained by his order.
Admiral Bruce, on hearing of the attack made
on the Pacific Steam Navigation Company's steamer
New Granada by the Peruvian revolutionary ships
Loa and Tumbes, sent her Majesty's ship Pearl to
seize them, and the Bogota on her way up to Pana-
ma met the Pearl, With the Loa and Tomb s, under
steam, on their way to alleo. It appears from a
letter from the Lime correspondent of the Panama
Star and Herald, dated the 26th of March, that
the captain of the Lima steamer learned the fact of
the New Grenada's seizure in time to avoid falling
into a similar trap which was laid for him. The
writer says :
" We had a large amount of specie on board,
which the captain was fearful might bo seized by.
the Vivance party on entering Pasta, so be deter-
mined to p-epare for re4stance, and, having some
20 stand of arms on board, he mastered the crew
and stationed them on the main deck on entering
the part,. much to the indignation of el senor caps-
tan del puerto, who left highly insulted at the pro-
cedure. No attempt was made there, however, to
pillage the ship, and we were permitted to proceed
peaceably to Lambeyeque, on approaching which
port we perceived the war steamers Loa and Tumbes
bearing down for us. Captain Bloomfield took the
hint in time, and instead of proceeding to his an-
chorage, put about and continued his course south-
ward, very much to the chagrin of those on board
the vessels-of-war evidently, as they pursued us
for several miles under a full head of steam, and
finally, being unable to overhaul us, discharged a
spotted gun after us, which, however, took no effect.
In this instance the old adage of 'one pair of heels
being worth two pair of hands' was fully verified.
Touching at Casma and Huecho we reached Callao
on the evening of the 24th instant, just nine days
from Panama. Immediately after our arrival
Admiral Bruce was informed of the outrages per-
petrated on the steamers New Granada and Lima,
and yeeterday at 1 p.m. he despatched the steam-
corvette Pearl to Lambaysque, with the object of
seizing the Loa and Tumbes, so that these vessels
will probably be brought back 'here as prizes in a
few
n days. present there is no British vessel of
war
