WEST INDIA AND MEXICAN
MAILS.
SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY
.. " ,7
*,014,/4/7,10.—The Royal
Mail steamer Severn, Captain lucent' arrived this
morning, athen o'clock, with the usual West India and
Mexican mails, after a run of 13 days from
Bermuda.
She brings on freight 624,1271., of which 60,000 are on
account of the 15/Lexican dividen s; also 341 b. of platina,
1,080 bales of tobacco, 213 serons of cochineal, and 150
packages sundries.
Accounts from Jamaica are from the 23d ult. The
markets were unchanged, and business dull. Exchange
on London, Jamaica Bank 90 days par.
The wet season has set in on the island, and the
crops generally presented an improving appearance.
Our accounts from Havannah are from the 27th ult.
The cholera was on the decrease.
The prices of produce were not affected.
The business in imports suffered a good deal, and also
from theexcitement occasioned by the Lopez expedition.
The tobacco crop large and of good quality; prices
moderate.
We have accounts from Havannah relative to
the Am?rican Expedition and tho general state
of Cuba: it does not seem likely that any simi-
lar attempt will be made. About 140 prisoners,
taken into Havannah by the Spanish Admiral,
were in close confinement. The Captain-General
of Cuba refused to supply their names to the senior
officer of the American squadron, or to permit him to
have any interview with them. St. Jago do Cuba was
being put into a thorough state of defence, in anticipa-
tion of an attack from another section of the Lopez expe-
dition. No apprehensions for the safety of that city
were entertained.
In the Havannah markets sugar was firmly supported.
The weather had been in a great degree unfavourable
for grinding, and the yield of the crop will fall consider-
ably short of the original estimate. The transactions
in coffee were trifling.
In freights vessels were abundant.
Exchange on London, 11 premium; Paris, 2 discount.
There is no news of importance from Mexico
Her Majesty's schooner Bermuda had captured, after
a 49 hours' chase, a remarkably fine Brazilian brigantine,
with 280 slaves on board.
