age. The lamented Bishop was only ill a few
days, and he is represented as one of the' greatest
ornaments of Trinida4, and appears, by the ardent
testimony of regret expressed, to have been an ac-
complished Scholar and pious Divine. His funeral
took place on the 26th, and was attended by his
Excellency the Governor, as chief mourner, and
a numerous assemblage of the authorities and
inhabitants, anxious to pay their respectful at-
tention to his remains : and as a tribute of re-
gard to the memory of the deceased, the Go-
vernor had invited all persons to appear in
mourning, to continue till the 6th of April.—
His Excellency the Governor was to embark in
the early part of the week, on board his Ma-
jesty's ship Slane:, on a cruise for the reco-
' very of his health ; and in the progress of his
tour it was understood he would pay a visit to
Jamaica, Mexico, and the Havannah, and pro-
bably he might touch at Demerara. During his
absence Major HENRY CAPADOSE, of his Ma-
jesty's Ist West India Regiment, had been sworn
in to administer the Government ad interim.
His Danish Majesty's brig St. Jan, Capt.
TitomsoN, anchored in the Gulf, from St.
Thomas's and St. Kitt's, with despatches for the
Government, and sailed from Port Spain on the
12th of March for St. Croix.

Barbadoes Papers of the Ist of April men-
tion that the Lord Bishop of BARBADOES and
the venerable Archdeacon, embarked on the
31st of March on board his Majesty's ship
Harlequin, for Antigua and St. Kitt's.

and thougk several bargains have been effected at 53 1 they
are new 54. The payment or non-payment of the dividend
is the continued theme of conversation in the city : it ap-
pears, however, that the opinion for the latter event pre-
ponderates over those who take a more favourable view of
the question. Brazilian, 581 1 ; Russian, 88,1 89 ; and

TWO O'CLOCK.

In consequence of an influential broker having made
purchases of Money Stock for Tuesday, the Consol
Market advanced to ribi 1, were nearly 85i- the
price, but within the last quarter of an hour they have
suddenlygiven way, and have gone down to 84, buyers.—
The cause of the decline is not known ; but some heavy,
sales have been made. Portuguese Bonds have also de-
clined full 2 per cent., and are now 52. A report exists that
the Evening Papers will contain a notice from the Bra-
zilian Minister, that he will not permit the money to be
paid for the Portuguese dividends due on the Ist of next
month ; the belief of its non-payment is new general here.
