INrELLIeENcE FROM BARBADoEs.-We have re-
ceived file of the Barbados Mercury and Globe,
from the I'd to the 10Th of July, inclusive, from
which we extract the following items.
The price of sugar at Georgetown was, at the
last accounts from there, below the average price
of the last eight years. In consequence thereof
the merchants complain sadly of the new tariff

CENTRAL RAIL RoAD.-The last Waterman com.

agement of the affairs of the Central Road. We give
the substance of the Watchman's reply,-having no
desire, as we certliny have interest," to prejudice
the prospects of the road. Our only motive in publish
ing the article, was, that all parties might have aI
hearing, which, it was said they could not get else
where:
"We are not aware of anything of interest to the
public, which occurred at the last meeting, or any
other that was not stated at the earliest moment in the

er, he has his rights and any application for nforma-
ton, in the proper mode and at the proper quarter will
unquestlonaby reserve prompt attention. 1.-The is a
friend of the road and that object really is to obtain
information, it strikes us that he has missed his way

the company have been of late so far beyond the sum
