The WEST INDIES, lS50.-In one or two of the
islands only has any favorable change in their
prosperity manifested ITSELF In the colony Of
Demerara the people seem determined on having
new constitution; they desire to be placed on the
same footing as their sister dependencies, and SO
far their demands appear reasonable and just.
An increase IN the quantity OF sugar, within the
year over that of the previous one, has taken place
in Barbados, Granada, and Antigua; and a new
and more expeditions and economical means OF
producing that article has been discovered at Bar
bados Some few cases Of cholera had appeared
al Barbados. Small pox had caused many deaths
both at Granada and st. Vincent They are about
to tring good water at expense Of c20 900, into
Port of Spain, Trinidad. Much distress had been
experienced at Monserrat: the island is reduced to
the lowest state of wretchedness. Jamaica has
been great sufferer in her trade, though every
exertion has been made by the few men of capital
she still possesses TO re-invigorate her commerce
A company has been formed for the purpose
of cultivatng cotton, which grows rem srkaby
well in some parts OF the island. That dire dis
ease, the Asatc cholera, is passing like sirocco
over the length and breadth Of the island, and
is, as is usual with that malady, causing a vast
amount OF death and misery. God grant that its
ravages may soon be stayed. severe hurricane, q
further proof of the peculiar law which governs
storms, was experienced among the Northern
islands, on the l4th, 10Th, and 10th July, com.
mencing to the eastward of Barbados as early as
the 10th, and extending to all the southern and
caste coast of the United Sates destroying much
property and life both by land and sea. At st. Do
mngo, the Haytlens and Domlnlcans are at war,
and al --latest datesth emperor Soulouque was about
to attack the city of ST. Domingo. The Dominicans
were expecting an expedition from the United
States to their aid ST Domingo has granted rel
gous federation to all British subjects resident with
in its dominions Nassau, N. p, was visited by
a tornado, early in the year, which destroyed con.
siderable property, and killed eight persons. Two
or three vexed questions have agitated the public
mind, but they have been happily set at rest. Tx
settlement of the Island of Inagua as mandatory
OF salt, and for agricultural purposes, Is attracting
much attention.
