By this arrival we have our usual files of West Indian
papers, ront •ining, however, very little news. The T.
nidad St,,ndord speaks highly of the new governor, Lord
II ri is. He had become the patron of the Trinirla I Agri-
culture! Society, and presided at the late general meeting.
Hr has given much satisfaction in following the example
of the Eat' of Elgin in giving prizes for agricultural
essays and improvements.
The following is from De CorZov i's Alf re 'tare radii
gencer :•—•1 Our market is at this moment in a ouch more
deptcssed conditi‘in than it was but two weeks ago; and,
g as it is under the effects of owe r-tradir g to an t x.
tent which has, until this period, been unknown here—
suff,iirg from the co, fioed and narrowed state of the
money market, which is producing prejudicial resulis on
the sorb.lity of some dealers—and a continued want of
confi fence—reeling. we retest, under all ih se adv rse
cireutnst rums, we cannot picture to ou, selves a worse po-
sition than that in which we are now placed.
shipments to this island shall entirely cease for at least
three months, a great proportion of the goods now on
hand n ust perish before they ciao be called into consump-
tion. The oupnlies of als articles, but particularly or fi.h
and bread-stuffs, ate enormi us. The too, k of flour is
equal to six months' consumption, whilst th4t or pork,
soap, lard, butter, n eal, rice, and corn is tar beyond the
necessities of the place. Further arrivals to meet the
Present overstock roust entail disastrous results on the
shippers. The fine rains which have fallen within the
last six or eight weeks will also cause a let further declioe
in the demand for bread stuffs, as there will be soon
thrown into the market very large quantities of native
around provisions. We cannot too strongly impress upon
shippers in general the absolute neces,.ily which exists for
refraining for some time to make further consignments to
this market; arid this is required not only as a means to
revive the depressed and dimming cr ndir ion of our trade,
hut also to enable their correspondents here to real ze
their acrounts.''
