The West India accounts, per Tay steamer, have excited
considerable reg rat as :regards the awful conflagration at
Barbadoes, from which it will be longere the colony recovers.
The weather had been rather tempestuous in several of the
islands, but we blear of no decided damage either to property
on shore or the crops, although, in many instances, the season
was not so favourable for the latter as could be wished. The
British Guiana Bank had declared a dividend of 4 per cent.
only—not a yen, brilliant illustration of the profitableness of
colonial banking. •
From Honduras we are advised that political feeling ran
high there, and was in some cases rather threatening.
The news from Mexico confirms the previous intelligence of
Santa Anna's capture. It is satisfactory to find that the new
Government lien sent forward a small remittance for the divi-
dends, and we hope it is a sort of " cal nest" that they will
speedily attend. to their foreign obligations.
A new articje of import has just been introduced into the
English mark from Australia, viz., candied peaches. This
delicious fruit seems to have been brought to great perfection
by the Sydney.. house of Cooke and Staddon, and may be-
come of some Importance hereafter, as another means of re-
mittance, which, added to many new minor sources
the colonists are opening, will tend to increase
the aotivity said advantage of the trade with the mother
country. Messrs. Keeling and Hunt will, by holding a
public sale, at once solve the question as to whether this new
article of import will pay.
There is mat] er less firmness in the Public Securities,owing
to the majority against the French Ministers, but no decided
effect is visible, and the Unfunded Debt has even improved
again, being 655. to 675. premium. Consols have been 993/
to par for the :present transfer, and 1001,E to 14 for Account.
Bank Stock haas been 219 to 220 for time.

The Foreign. Bonds are quite neglected. Spanish, however,
have rallied a little, being 29% to 30 for the Actives. Mexican
have touched. 36% to 37. Chilian are 1011,%.
Railways are somewhat flat, if we except those favourably
