We have news from Ceylon dated at Colombo on
the 10Th Of July. The Observer of that day says
The weather has been anything but favorable for
shipping operations during the last fortnight. O
the vessels in the roadsead three have sailed taking
away 1854 cwt, of coffee, 10 the proportions Of
9l91 plantation and 8, 423 native. The whole oil
this coffee has gone TO British ports. Our total ex-
ports, including the shipments from the ls Of OcO'
Der, 1857, amount to 485, 365 cWt., of which the
proportion of plantation is 844 500 native, 140 500
1t is now certain that, after all that said OIL
short crops the ou-turn of plantation in the season
now closing will be very little short Of the last. o.
the "a, 900 cWt of this kind deficient, believe
that more than half viii be made up. 1t is ma
tive, and not on plantation, that a final deficiency
will be SEEN The deficiency altogether, we suspect
will not be more than 20 600 owt. on the Out-turr
of last season. For the crop ripening the pros
poets are generally good, and the supply of labor
most abundant. -
