JAMAICA.

The Legislature adjourned on the 18th of January,
without disposing of the bills to raise ik loan and ap-
point an accountant-general. No doubt, however,
appears to be entertained in Spanish Town as to the
fate of these measures. The one can be amended, the
other must be passed as it is, or rejected.
The inland business at Jamaica still continues
dull, notwithstanding the trade brought by the Ame-
rican steamer. The foreign business has improved
in the demand for goods for the Panama and the
coast trade. Business also with Campeachy had been
resumed, which had been interrupted by the Mexican
war.

Attention appears to have been directed in Jamaica
to the culture of tobacco and cotton. The (Kingston)
Morning Journal, quoting from a Trelawny paper a
paragraph relative to native tobacco, says—
" We would infirm our contemporary that the manu-
facture of cigars from tobacco the growth of this coun-
try has for a length of time past been extensively carried
on in this city. There is an establishment in ,King-street
where the greater portion of ci2ars sold in it is from to-
bacco the produce of Papine-estate, in St. Andrew, where
a superior description of that plant is extensively culti-
vated by M. Erriee, a gentleman lately arrived from
Hayti. Nothing but energy and the means are required
to develope the resources or this fertile.country."
GUIANA.

The news from this colony is unimportant ; the
leading items from the Royal Gazette's "Review for
Home Readers" are subjoined ;
" Nothing has occurred since the departure of the last
mail on the 4th inst. to disturb the political tranquillity
of the country. The estimate cf the expenditure of the
present financial year, commencing the Ist July, 1849,
and ending 30th June. 185(1, 15, including the civil list,
in is intact form, 642,958 doll:, king a saving effected
in those six-sevenths of the public expenditure which are
exclusive of the civil list, as compared with the estimate
of 1847, which was 1,083,981 dolls., of 441,023 dolls. It
is much to be regretted that so long a delay should have
occurred since 1847 in making this very proper reduc-
tion in those branches of the annual expenditure of the
colony over which the combined assembly possesses
control.

" The weather during the fortnight has been almost
one uninterrupted torrent of rain. The crops of this
country, and of the neighbouring Dutch colony of
Surinam, have been seriously affected by the ex-
cessively wet weather that has now lasted for so
unusually long a period. It is some consolation, how-
ever, to reflect that it is owing to the unfavourable
season alone, and to no other unlooked-for cause,
that the produce of the colony has fallen cff so heavily
in the course of the last twelve months. By a notice
contained in our present number, it will be seen that a
meeting for the promotion of immigration is appointed
wuo
to take place on the 314 instant,
bein tehoinadcuitey:i * raithas

of which the agricultural interests stand much in need,
but which, it is to be hoped, will

BARBADOES.

REVIEW OF MARKETS.
Butter—lrish is taken in small quantities at 11d., and
prime American at Bd. For some parcels of the latter,
s .me time on hand, 6d. to 7d. is accepted. The stock is
.ther large.
Cheese—English has been dull of sale since Christmas.
A parcel changed hands yesterday at 9d. The stock
of American is so abundant that a great portion of it
w.ll spoil before sales can be effected. We may quote it
at sd. to 6d.
Corn—The stock is enormous. New Orions is worth

bushel, and Philaflelphia 6s. 6d. per bag. Sa-
anil'a is sold at 34. 3d. per bushel.
Flour—Scarcely, if any change has occurred in the
market for this article since our last, and no operations
to any extent have Gtaken place. Baltimore and Phila-
delphia are slowly moved at 325.. which rate does not
eerier the cost of importation. The market is heavily
supplied.
Freights—Small shipments of sugar are taken at 3s.
to 3s. 6d. There is very little produce offering, and se-
veral British vessels are taking cargoes of logwood for
Liverpool.
Gold—American eagles are worth 2i to 3 per cent.
on 4s. for the dollar.
Hams—Lancashire are taken at 10d., and Amer:can
at 70..t0 &d. Ten barrels of the latter changed bands
at the last named rate. The stock has been consider-
ably, reduced, and the article is wanted.
Malt—London bottled porter is dull at 7s. Ale is
rather bkter in demand at 7s. 6d. per dozen.
Bum—Since the passing of the Bill rum has been in
brisk demand, at 3s. 9d. to 2s. 10d. It is now generally
held at 3s. per gallon for export, equal to 4s. 6d. for
home c-n.umption.
• Sal--Coars.e d wands ss. per barrel. Liverpool
staved is very abundant, and dull at ss. 6d. t 3 6s. per
sack.
