The arrival Of Mr.. Soule by the last steamer at
this port was known to very few persons. Some OF
his friends and acquaintance, however, who became
aware OF the TACT Of his being board the Empire
City, waited upon him to welcome himself aud lacy
to our city, and to offer their services. Mr.. Soule
landed, and made the most of the few hours he was
on shore. have heard many regrets, from persons
standing high, that they were not aware of his
arrival, which had prevented the pleasure OF an in
Mr. Soulc here was merely Mr.. Soulc, and on that
account did not call upon the Governors but although
so much has been said about the minister in the
L,a,lo de Ia Marine upon bis appointment, not a
word las 1t said in regard to his presence here al
though everybody among the somebodies has talked

have escaped sickness rarely have it, and the natives
seldom or never. But, although persons may escape

In the preceding paragraph ! speak of sickness
] now briefly make few remarks about the wea-
ther, which perhaps will be more interesting to
s,me Of our ieacers. Fer about month we have
had almost constant succession of rainy days with
very variable temperature. Before showers the heat
has been sLffocatng, and during rain the air has
been chilly, and afterwards it has again become
warm, damp, and stagnant. This weather, which
you may imagine is SO prejudicial to health, has
very beneficial influence ON vegetation therefore
we may expect that The next crop of sugar will be
the largest ever produced in the island

SONS Of unsuitable weather for large CROP and
we have the commencement OF one that 30 far has
been quite in the order Of things.
Since my last, we have had two arrivals of Chi
nese, sCme 200 IN ALL aud on an estate insurrec
ton of these people, III which an overseer was vic
tim. This is all know about the matter. Such an
event with you would be fully explained by the press.
Some persons have had their passports given them,
being confirmed and cheating gamblers. One OF the
individuals, Mr.. P, has been priest, a soldier
clerk, and is the son-nlaw of famous empresario,
and the sums that they have eased their victims Of
lately is said to reach half a million OF dollars.
We have had more arrivals OF negroes from Africa;
however, by informing you of this, | will not go so

but there must be winkng some where or they could
