Captain Ludlam, which we copy from the New York
papers, will be read with melancholy interest by many
parties in this town :—" Mr. Cowan, the pilot who brought
the ship in from sea, and rerr.ained in charge of her while
at Quarantine, died on Thursday evening, from the same
disease. During the voyage, the lifeless bodies of the first
mate and forty of the passengers were committed to the
bosom of the great deep. Captain Ludlam expressed
himself as having passed through more hardships, cares,
and anxieties during this voyage than that of all the
other voyages together he had ever made. Starting from
Liverpool on the third of January to make a passage in a
high northern latitude, they met with a constant succes.

We have advices from St. Thomas to the 22d alt., and
from Bermuda to the 27th. The drought which had pre-
vailed for several weeks at Bermuda, had been somewhat
relieved by some heavy showers, but no continuous rain
sufficient to replenish the exhausted tanks, had visited the
islands. Vegetation tad improved, but the want of water
was much felt. On the 7th instant the legislature meets
for the despatch of business, in accordance with a pro-
clamation of the Governor.—The Right Rev. the Bishop
of Newfoundland consecrated a new church in Devon-
shire parish on the 25th ult.—From St. Thomas there is
no news of importance. The Spanish war steamer Colon,
from Havana, was there on the 18th ult. The papers are
entirely filled with European news, per steamer Trent.
The Trinidad papers, in noticing a rumour that the Pitch
Lake had been granted to the Earl of Dundonald, by the
government, expresses a hope that their rulers " have not
made any concession without so guarding it, that the
Pitch Lake may not become an injurious monopoly in the
hands of a few individuals." This grant is supposed to
have connection with some experiments ►ately made in
New York relative to the value of mineral pitch for pro-
ducing gas for lighting cities.
Notwithstanding the enormous addition made to the
supply of gold in the world by the mining in California,
the currency in the United States appears to have been
during the past month in anything but a satisfactory
position. The New York Herald, under date March
24th, remarked " there has been no improvement in
the money-market, but, on the contrary, a daily increas-
ing stringency ;" and although the views of the writer
appear to have somewhat brightened since, the state of
affairs, and the rate of exchanges do not argue much
for the ability of the American population to i
