following singular item:
:" 1st dragoons-Lieuts w. Eustis, II. ). luf-

Singular as the above may seem, it is neverthe
less true and moreover, these officers have sailed
in the packet ship Vile de Lyon, for Hayre.-
We nd not feel at liberty to mention the obJect OF

Others, it may be as well to state that the above
named officers have been sent abroad, 1t Is under

Real estate, in all the free islands, has wonderful
ly advanced, especially in Antigua. The price
of fixed estate, in all civilized communities, is the
great standard of value. The simultaneous rise
of real estate in community is the best possible
evidence of the vigorous and advancing condition
of all the leading interests. When we are told
that real estate in Antigua has advanced from so
to rs per cent. since emancipation, we are left
without any assignablc cause for this change, save
the act of emancipation. A single fact like this,
well authenticated is fitted to rouse any people.
1t is like demonstration on blackboard. The
public thanks are due to the New York Mechan-
ic for his matter-of-act address. We hope it will
be read by every workingman in the land.
