The English steamship Cleator, bound for Liver
pool, arrived at this port from Kingston Jamaica,
yesterday morning short of coal. Our advices from
the island are dated TO the 18th utimo. The ques-
ton of communication by steam with the United
States was prominently before the government and
Legislature. Two propositions of Messrs
Hitchns 4 Company, agents of the New York
and Central American lines, and of Messrs. George
solomons Il CO.. of Jamaica offered the greatest
advantages. ship load Of coolies were daily ex-
pected from India.
We have papers and correspondence from Utah
up to the it'll of December. President Buchanan's
proclamation of pardon to the Mormons was before
TIE Court of the Third Judicial district. Judge
Sinclair ella med the right first to find ont the guilty
pass sentence, and then apply the pardon. The
Prosecuting Attorney for the United States sup
ports the executive, Commissioners and new Co.
vernon, and regards the course of the Judge as un
necessarily tending to increase difficulties in that
Territory.
correspondent of the Santa Fe weekly Gazette
gives a doleful description of the condition Of
things in the Red river settlement of New Mexico
He says that roaming bands Of Camanches who
are in the category of friendly Indians 60 about
numbering and pillaging the settlers, while the
military afford them sort Of protection, but
rather protect the Indians from the indignation
of the whites. He is particularly severe on Gen.
Garland, who was in command of the troops
there. If the acts be as represented, an effectual
remedy should be applied by the government with
out loss of time.
Our correspondent at Macanta, Island of Mar
garita, writing on the 10th ult., says This
speck in the ocean, heretofore forgotten in
columns of the the world-read HERALD, is
likely to attract some notoriety as regards po-
sition, connection and produce. This port is ac-
cessible for the largest ships to enter, and is a
harbor remarkable for safety, and the island is
likely to be as advantageous to Venezuela as Ire
land is to England or Corsica is to France. The
sugar cane is extensively cultivated, and quarter
of the island is now under the cultivation of enter
prising planters, producing sugar, coffee, corn,
hemp and rye. The fisheries are very profitable,
and salt is being made in abundance, and now sells
at Sc. per bushel. Barbadoes Trinidad and Deme
rara require all we can produce, whilst Iaguayra
and p1rto Cabello get their supplies from the
United States. A floating dock and dockyard are
to be constructed here directly after the return of
General Paez, who is daily expected at Caracas.
The adjacent islands abound with guano, which is
of the most fertilizng quality and doubtless cannot
but attract the attention of Americans and Euro
peans.
