MORE CooLIE SLAVES FOR JAMAICA AND CUBA.
from Fl Diaro de la Marina Of Havana Oct 26.l
Accounts from Jamaica state that the government OF
Her Britannia Majesty has granted permission for the i'm
mediate introduction in that colony of 900 coolies
agricultural purposes, TO which, likewise, will continue
70 be applied the African negroes from captured savers
These facts prove TO how great degree the conduct Of
conservative government differs from the opinions of
those writers who, in the London press some months
ago, loudly camored against Asatic Immigration in
our island which opinions found echo Parlil
ment.
These facts, moreover, prove how groundless the
government OF her Britannia Majesty considered the
cusations directed against the protection which the mpe
rial government Of France extended TO the i'm
migration Of coolies into the French colonies. Trini
dad and Maurtus had beforehand settled the question
concerning the full right of the other governments but
the accounts have just received that the
ment of her Britannia Majesty perscveres in the opinions
inaugurated that immigration. Fortunately the emigra
ton Of Chinese 10 Cuba Is still going on and believe
that the throwing open OF the ports OF the Celestial Empire
Will render it every day more easy and profitable.
BY trustworthy accounts from Madrid we Informed
that the government Of her Majesty had this important
question under consideration, aud very possibly we
may learn by the arrival Of Of the next mails
that II has been resolved in sense favorable
to the preservation and development OF our agri
cultural industry. But IL II not hiel time for
planters to consider also the means Of establish

and principally to the suicides occurring among
that class Of coonsts II not sufficient to them
the best treamcnt fact which cannot be doubted far

Society, whose mission would perfectly with mmc
daely ndng the fruit Of their abors to the

best means OF proving that amongst us nothing il

STEAM FROM NEW YORK TO THE BAHAMAS AND
CUBA.
We find il stated IN the newspapers OF New York that
within short time shall be in possession OF
Of communication by steam with the great CONNER
cia metropolis OF the Union Is said that the govern
Of her Britannia Majesty has made contract
with Messrs Cunard Co. for establishing steam
between New York and the Bahama Islands, the
respondcnce with England 10 be carried from the latter
by this route. The port OF Nassau would be chosen for
to Havana and from there back to New York, landing at
New Providence.
The foregoing notice j. certainly satisfactory, but when
ever reading Of this kind the question natu
rally offers itself Would II not be possible 10 form a
Spanish steam company for carrying on the commerce be
tween our port aud that Of New York; Would not
be preferred by passengers who thus would get
rid Of the Inconvenience against which TO day they have
often to struggle in seeing themselves COMPOUNDED with
the emigration for Central America and California;
