being absent, hundreds having left for the " Derby" event

There are some accounts from Ceylon to-day, but the in-
formation supplied is not of any general importance. There
had been a considerable increase in the importations of Bri-
tish manufactured goods at Ceylon. 111 the exports, however,
a marked reduction has occurred. A new plan, it is said, has
been discovered for the management of the coffee plantations,
for which a patent has been taken out.
