States and British North America, unless Spain
meanwhile adopts some measure to obviate this re-
suit. So far as British North America is concerned
Spain can do this in great degree at least by en-
couragng the trade with that quarter in the manner
already Indicated
Unless somo such course be adopted, she must ex.
pect to lose the British North American trade almost
entirely, as under the present system, most of the
vessels loaded for the provinces in Cuba and Porto
Rico, have first proceeded with cargoes of fish &C.,
to the British West indies and then over to the
Spanish islands for return cargoes
When the time arrives that they can procure these
return cargOes of sugar, mOlasses DC, on equally
favorable terms in the British islands, where they
have discharged their outward cargoes they will of
Porto Rico, except to the comparatively small extent
which the already existing export trade to those
islands may still require. IT, however Spain enables
them to bring fish, lumber, four &C., to the latter
islands, they will doubtless continue to draw their
return cargoes from the same source.
Most OF the articles enumerated, which could be
supplied from British North America, would be OF
better quality than the articles sent from the
United States. OF these may be partcularized box
shocks, hoops fish, and butter.
Fish from Nova Scotia and New Foundland uni
versally commands in the Spanish islands from 37s
to IS cents per quntal more than United States fish,
being better cured and adapted for keeping; :. g.
Within the past two or three years, parties at ST.
john New Brunswick, have taken some pains in the
manufacture of box shocks for the Cuban market
and those which they have sent out having been of
superior Description they nave already estaDIsned
such character, under the denomination of English
Shocks as to make them eagerly inquired for, and
to command for them higher price than the Ameri-
can shocks will bring.
The value of the export trade from the Spanish
islands to British North America is probably not at all
appreciated by the Spanish government, as it might
he if brought to their attention. 1t is trade which
has grown up within but few years is fast increas
ing, and if not discouraged must continue to expand
rapidly; but already pointed out its future
and progress depend almost entirely upon the action
which the Spanish government may now take. They
should not lose sight Of the fact that consump
ton per head Of sugar and molasses is not equalled
by that of any country except the United States
itself producing country, and protecting its own
producers; and they should also bear in mind that
our population increases faster than that of the
United States even; the ratio, dating from 1870 the
period of the first United States census), being for
the United States 600 per cent while for the North
American Provinces it has been $50 or 900 per cent

The carrying trade between the United States and

Female children taken from the wreck, one supposed
to be about twelve years OF age with auburn or yell
low hair about eighteen or twenty inches long and
the other about four or five years of age. No marks
were found about them to distinguish them but they
were evidently sisters, from the fact that they were
clinging TO each other, and from the strong resem-
blance they bore to each other Their bodies were
decently buried. Many trunks boxes and other things
were removed by the wreckers. One trunk had in it
