serous of cochineal. Captain Burney., master, and
Mr. Brown, purser, of the late Medina, are come
home by the Forth. After landing the mails, she re-
ceved at Falmouth a supply of coals, and proceeded
up Channel at 5 p.m.
The Forth came up direct from Mexico, but brought
no specie thence. The Dee left Havannah for the Gulf
of 'Mexico on the 10th August. The Tay furnished
the Jamaica mails, and will be the next to come to
nkland. The Clyde had not sustained such severe
injuries by going on shore on Pelican Point as was
at first anticipated. She left St. Thomas's on the
10th, August for Turk's Island, and on the 12th
September thence for Portoßico and the other islands,
with the English mails furnished by the arrival out of
the Medway. The Solway had taken down the Gulf
letters of this steamer.
Her Majesty's sloop of war Pilot left Havannah for
oCVera Cruz on the 13th August. The Bever was at
ralicios the Thunder at Bermuda. Spanish men
War at Havannah—one frigate with Admiral's flag
at the fore, one corvette,. three brigs, two schooners,
arnd two steam-vessels. Mexican men-of-war at Sacri-
leiPs, the City of Dublin (steamer), one brig, and a
schOoner. -
T.he Mexicans still appear determined to carry on
the; war
against Texas, and proposed to send Y 800

-Peotints from Havannah represent the extreme un-

men and masters, of ships had fallen victims to the
direful leVer prevalent there.

period in No-
verfilier. The immigration of Krumen from the
coast of Africa, if judiciously conducted, was re-
garded by the planters of Jamaica as a
great ad-
vantage to that colony, and would tend to afford such
an impulse to the labouring population as was calcu-
lated to produce the most salutary effects. It is
urged that the Government agent, in obtaining these
to people, should offer them the advantage of returning
their native country again in a course of years, an
inducement which few of the better hands would, from
their inigratory disposition; refuse. The crops were
superabundant in several districts, and some mer-
hhachants complained of not having sufficient vessels
nd, near their ports, to receive the produce. On
e whole, the affairs of the island commence to as-
sume a better state of things than had for some time
existed.
We learn from St. Kitts that the crops were low.
The necessity for immigration was urged on all hands
at
Demerara. Business very flat. The negroes ap-
eared to be making strong efforts at this colony to
provide grOunds and houses for themselves, and were
generally
disposed to work ; the employment of their
earnings in the purchase of lands had drawn off from
the retail dealers much of their custom. The shares
of the banks were at par. Government measures had
not recently met with such opposition as formerly.
