says :—" On the pronunciamento' of the Loa and
Apurimac, San Ramon retreated thence to Tambo
with 180 men, and the same day Islay declared in
favour of the revolutionary party. On the 19th
San Ramon reached Tambo, where he was detained
by Colonel Brusset, but the same night he made
his escape—it is supposed to Puno."
Private letters from Lima inform us that it was
thought Castilla would be able to put down the re-
volution, as the Convention would vote him extra-
ordinary powers.
Commercial advices from Valparaiso state that
during the fortnight cutting Nov. 15, a general
stagnation had been felt in the market. The trans-
actions verified offered little interest, sales having
taken place principally for local consumption, and
but very little for abroad. The sales for Bolivia
had been very poor, and those for the Argentine
Republic were hardly perceptible. This Blackness
was to be explained by the fact that the purchases
for the spring were already made in August and
September last, and those for the summer season
only begin in December next. In home produce
nothing . worthy of note transpired. The high
prices in the leading export articles still continued.
The market was pretty well supplied with all kinds
of merchandise.

We have received, vies Panama, papers from
Melbourne to Oct. 13, but the principal mail had

By this steamer we have dates from Panama to

Wye's missing mails.
The Orinoco brings 35 passengers, two distressed
British seaman, and Cll9 naval invalid, $973,589 in
specie, and a cargo consisting of 44 serons of cochi-
neal, 26 serous of jalap, 195 cases of cigars, 104
bales of tobacco, 157 bales of sarsaparilla, 12 casks
of ginger, 3SB bags of cocoa, 29 kegs of arrowroot,
1 bale of skins, and 361 packages of sundries. On
her homeward voyage the Orinoco expvrienced from
the 17th to the 23.1 ult., inclusive, strong N.E.
winds, with a very heavy head sea ; from the 24th
to the 26th, moderate S.E. breeze ; from the 27th
to the 2d of January fresh breere from the S.W.,
and on entering the Channel a strong gale from
the W.

Our Jamaica letters of the 11th ult. inform us
that since the departure of the last mails the events
which had transpired wore scarcely worthy of any
notice. The business of the session was progressing
steadily and in some way as harmoniously as could
be anticipated under the circumstances. The
motion of Mr. Porteous respecting the importation
of slaves into Cuba had been withdrawn under the
idea that it would be undignified in the island
Legislature to petition Parliament on that subject.
There were rumours, however, that public meetings
would be hold for the purpose of memorialising'the
Imperial Government. The death of the Hon.
Mr. Shirley, Custos of Trelawny, and senior mem-
ber of Assembly for that parish, had thrown great
gloom over the island. He was a large landed pro-
prietor, and considered one of the wealthiest men
in the colony. The House of Assembly adjourned
business till after the funeral, and attended that
ceremony officially. The Lieutenant-Governor had
given his assent to several important bills. A
donation given by Mr. H. Labouchere, her Ma-
jesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies,
had idiffu,,ed great satisfaction. The island was
rather unhealthy, which is generally the case at
this season cf the year; fever was prevalent.
From Dc Cordova's Mercantile intelligencer we
learn that the sales of...sugar averaged 22s to 25s
per 100 lb. In pimento sales had been effected at
2id to 3d per lb. The stock of corn was large ; a
cargo of 1,500 bags from Savanilla sold at 3s per
bushel. All descriptions of butter were very dull
of sale. Exchanges on London were quoted, for
Jamaica and Colonial banks, 90 days' sight, A per
teat. pm. ; 60 days, 1 per cent. pm. ; 30 dap, 1i
per cent. pm. Private bills at par.
At Demerara a short session of the Colonial Le-
gislature had been held, convened for the special
purpose of considering whether the resolutions of
the Combined Court of 1855 and 1856 might not
be altered so as to require the payment of the
bounty money in cash at the time of the inden-
ture of the Coolie, and also whether the colony
would be prepared to provide for the payment
of the expenses to be incurred in India for
continued immigration after the season 1856
and 1857. A string of resolutions submitted
by the Attorney-General to carry out these
views were agreed to. A proposition having been
made by some Liverpool capitalists to establish
monthly steam communication between the colony
of Demerara and Great Britain by way of Madeira
the Legislature, at its special session, passed the
following resolution :
"That this Court will favourably consider any scheme
for establishing steam ',communication, with vessels of
not less than 1,000 tons, between this colony and any
part of Great Britain, via Madeira, the Western Islands,
and Bai badoes, with the view of promoting immigration
to this colony from those places; and that his Excellency
be requested to make known the same by advertisement
in some of the leading newspapers in Great Britain."

A The Royal Gazette (Georgetown, Demerara), of
the 9th ult., says :
" The weather during the past fortnight has been very
wet, but on the whole favourable for the growing canes,
though it has seriously impeded the manufacturing ope-
rations, as it was impossible to dry the megass. The
exports during the fortnight amounted to—sugar, 3,855
hhds,, 785 tierces, 687 tierces, 1,287 brls., 425 bags ;
rum, 151 puncheons, 335 hhds., 165 brls. ; molasses,
711 puncheons, 162 hhds., 62 brls. ; rice, 4,092 bags ;
beef, 130 barrels, 50 half-barrels; cocoa-nuts, 1,310 ;
cod fish, 70 casks ; and lard, 5 cases. Trade among the
merchants is brisk, and freights are looking up."
The Barbadoes House of Assembly continued en-
gaged at latest dates with the bill for the incorpora-
tion of the city of Bridgetown ; upwards of thirty
clauses were got through in committee at the last
meeting, but it was considered doubtful whether
the bill would pass. His Excellency Sir J. Cloete,
commander of the forces, and staff, returned from

Demerara on the 6th. A change'of weather had
taken place. It rained steadily the greater part of
Sunday, the 7th, and there had been several showers
almost daily afterwards up till the packet's depar-
ture. The canes had very much improved, but the
crop was expected to be a short one.
Files of the St. Lucia Palladium, to the 6th of
December have been received, but they contain
nothing of interest. The planters were preparing
for commencing crop, while the many line showers
which had lately fallen had served to bring forward
the newly-planted canes, and to encourage agricul-
turists in augmenting the cultivation for 1858.
From St. Kitt's there is no news, besides a warm
encounter between the two local papers. Bishop
Davis was on a tour through his diocese.
At St. Vincent's the House of Assembly con-
tinued at war with the Lieutenant-Governor upon
the subject of the circumstances connected. with
generally were much
the conduct of Mr. Crosby, the recently suspended
police magistrate.
