JAMAICA.
The advices from Kingston are to the 10th IN
stant Respecting the sugar crop the Kingston
Chronicle says
Nefegret TO learn that there will be serious
falling OF in the sugar crop Of this year. In ST.
Thoneas, in the East especially, the decrease OF
export will be without parallel. The best esti-
mates that ca be formed induce the belief that
the crop OF the present year in that parish will
not reach one half OF chat of 1851. The district
OF Pla1tain Garden River which usually ships
four Thousand llogsheads Of sugar, will not this
yea. reach two thousand bogsheads, whilst the
Blue Mountain district will fall off in quite as
large proportion. We wish that we could say
that st. Thomas in the East was the only parish
thus csrcumstaneed, but we have similar reports
from other parishes. Ga the whole, we very
much doubt whether the crop of 1852 will ex-
coed 10000 hogsheads.
