THE WEST INDIA MAIL.

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY MORNING.—The Teviot,
Capt. Revett, arrived this morning, at nine o'clock,
with the West India and Pacific mails. She brings
946,878 dolls. on merchants' account, besides a quan-
tity of gold dust, silver, &c.; and a freight of indigo,
arrow-root, &c.

The Teviot left Jamaica on March 10; Barbadoes,
12 ; and Chagres on the 28th Feb.

In Barbadoes, the weather was still very dry, and
reaping was going on rapidly. The crop
is expected
to reach 30,000 hogsheads.
In Demerara the weather was favourable. The
rural districts were quiet.
From Jamaica there is no political news of im-
portance.
The rains had ceased since list advices, and the
country was warm and healthy. The Hon. I. T.
Barnard, chairman of the Quarter Sessions, died on
the 3d of March. The produce market was healthy
and improving. Large speculations were taking
place in coffee, both for the English and American
markets. Pimento was firmly held for an advanced
rate.

Ample supplies of breadstuffs, with a limited de-
mand, continued to depress the market. Nevis, St.
Kitt's, Antigua, and Montserrat had experienced very
dry weather. The want •f rain in these islands is
severely felt, and the crops were suffering from long
drought.

FEMALE EMIGRATION.—A second detachment of
the emigrants selected by Mr. Sidney Herbert's committee
departed yesterday by the ship Tory, bound to Port Ade-
laide and Sydney. The party consisted of about thirty young
women, nearly all of the class of needle-work,r3 and
stitchers. They were assembled at the Fenchurch-street
station at twelve o'clock, under the charge of a matron, and
were accompanied to Blackwall by their relatives and
friends and several members of the committee. The llon. A.
Kinnaird, the Count de Strzelecki, Rev. los. Brown, Rev. W.
Quekett, and the Rev. pB. C. Sanger were amongst this com-
pany, and several ladies who took an interest in the welfare
of the emigrants, also accompanied them down th* river.
At Blackwall a steamer was in waiting to convey them on
hoard the vessel, in which very satisfactory arrangements
appeared to have been made for their accommodation. Mr,
Sidney Herbert did not accompany this party, being absent,
as was upclerstood, on important business in Ireland. A third
detachment of female emigrants will leave early in the en-
suing week.

The English visitors have not been more numerous
f)r a long time past than at this moment in Paris, most of
the hotela are crowaca.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The impolitic interference with the freedom of
election in the army,, in which the Minister at War,
goaded thereto by the reactionary clique, has thought
it proper to indulge, has produced the effect which
every sane parson must' have expected it would pro-
duce—it has produced a revolt in the army. It will
be recollected that all those soldiers who are suspected
of having, on the 10th March, voted for Democratic
candidates, have been, by order of the Minister of
War, drafted off to Algiers. This has
naturally irritated their comrades, and at
Caen and elsewhere they have given loud expressions
to their sentiments, and yesterday one of the regi-
ments in garrison in Paris revolted againstits officers.
It appears that the colonel having two days ago inti-
mated his intention to punish an adjutant who voted
for the Democratic candidates at the late election, the
greatest agitation manifested itself in the regi-
ment. The soldiers refused to obey their officers,
and set their authority at defiance. They left the
barracks in bands, and since Wednesday have been
wandering in the suburbs arid indulging themselves
in orgies of no very creditable description. All
attempts to bring them back have hitherto failed.
Should this feeling of insubordination extend, what
will become of th© boasted power of General
CIIANGARNIER ?

The Constitutionnel, the Ministerial organ, is com-
pelled to admit that both the PRESIDENT and General
CHANGARNIER were greeted with cries of " Vice la
Republique, democratique et sociale !" on their road
to Vincennes during Monday, and that of those who
raised the cry several were soldiers.
DUPIN was yesterday re-elected President of
the Assembly for the next three months.

The Mondeur du Soin says :
"The creation of a special Ministry ef Police appears
to be decided on. The chief of this department will, it is
said, be M. de Persigny, who will arrive from Berlin in
order to direct the organization of the new administaa-
tion which is destined for him "
The Bourse was dull at the commencement of busi-
ness ; prices, however, rallied towardA the close, and
the Five per Cents., which opened at 89f. 10c., rose to
891. 70c., at which price they closed. The Three
per Cents. closed at 55f. 65c.; Orleans It•tilroad
Shares, 7171. 50c. ex dividend ; Rouen, 513 f. 75c. ;
Great Northern, 423 f. 75c.; Avignon, 185 f.; Vier-
zon, 315 f.; Bordeaux, 3951.; Paris and Strasburg,
332 f. 50c.; Tours and Nantes, 235°. The New
Roman Loan, 78.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 30th ult. have arrived.
The Gaeta contains a royal decree for the or-
ganisation of the theatres in Spain. A return in
the Gazette shows that the taxes in Februry last
yielded abiut 1.5,000,000 reels more than in the cor-
responding month of the preceding year.
A Mr.drid letter of the 30;h ultimo saws :
" There is a good deal of mystery with respect
to the resumption of diplomatic relations be-
tween England and Spain. It appears that
the ultimatum of Lord PALMERSTON arrived last
evening, through Baron DUJARDIN, Minister of
Belgium. The contents of it are not known, and
contradictory rumours respecting it are current—
some representing that it is satisfactory to the Spanish
Cabinet, others that it contains expressions which that
Cabinet wishes to be modified. A Cabinet courier
has been sent off to-day by the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, with, it is supposed, the reply to the English
ultimatum."
