WEST INDIES.

The Royal Mail steam-ship Fortb, Captain Chapman, arrived
at Southampton last night, from the West Indies, with mails from
Jamaica to the 25th of May, Hayti 27th, St. Thomas 31st, and
from the Windward Islands and Guiana from the 18th to the 30th
of May inclusive. The crop of sugar is nearly completed, and
presents in all the colonies an average amount. In Jamaica
nearly the whole of the crops were in, and exceeded the most
sanguine expectations of the planters. The fine season was
much in their favour, and there is no doubt that the
amount will be over 60,000 tons. The prospect for the future,
too, It appears, is good. The is land was generally
healthy, but when the packet left on the 24th ult., the heavy rains
had just commenced. The Blundell, with 260 hill coolies, had
arrived ; they were all in excellent health and spirits, and
appeared to enjoy the change. Lord Elgin had taken a great
interest in the matter, and had located them in large numbers, to
give the system a fair trial. The whole of her Majesty's troops
stationed in the island were in a healthy state.

LONDON CUTANEOUS INSTITUTION.—It Will be seen
from an announcement in another part of the paper, that the
first Anniversary Dinner in aid of the funds of this Charity
will be held on the 3d of next month.. During the past
year it has relieved upwards of 2,030 poor persons, and is
weekly admitting fifty or sixty new cases, who have the be-
nefit of the free use of the most extended suite of baths for
medical purposes in the metropolis.
BRIGHTON, JUNE 20.—Lord Lindsay, Lady Bishop,
and the Baron and Baroness Andle, arrived at half-past six this
morning, in the steamer from Dieppe, after a pleasant trip of
six hours and a half. By this route the metropolis may be reached
from Paris in seventeen hears, and is daily becoming the road
chosen between London and Paris.
COWES, JUNE 19.--Her Majesty, Prince Albert,
and suite, arrived at Osborne, in the royal yacht this day. It
being near high water, the royal party landed on the beach, in
front of the house. About a hundred workmen have been em.
ployed laying in foundations, &c., till yesterday, when the work
was stopped. It is expected it will remain so till after her Ma-
jesty's departure from the island. It is generally believed that
the alterations that have been commenced are so extensive that it
will take two years to complete them. The fleet at Portsmouth
consists of eight sail of the line and two frigates, all which manned
Yards and saluted her Majesty as the yacht passed—From our Cor-
respondent.

THE QUEEN'S AccEssiox.—Yesterday being the an-
niversary of her Majesty's accession to the throne in 1837, the
Park and Tower guns were fired, and flags displayed from most
of the churches and public buildings in the metropolis.
VICTORIA PARE.—Thursday, the Earl of Lincoln,
Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, attended by three of
his colleagues, paid a visit of inspection to the works now in pro-
gress for laying out the new park on the eastern side
of the metropolis. For some time past, the arrangements
hitherto decided upon have proceeded but slowly, little
more having been done up to last week than paling round
the ground intended for the park, and laying out the in-
tended roads. The ancient palace of Bishop Bonner has been
pulled down, as have also several of the houses on the Bethnal-
green.road side of the new park, leading across the fields, known
familiarly as " Bonner's Fields." It is decided that an additional
quantity of hands shall be taken on, in order to expedite the works
as much u possible.
