gence of interest. Cotton cultivation in the parish
Of Hanover, in Jamaica, was not progressing very
favorably. The seeds sent from Europe have not

oldest popular representative in the Assembly;
Alexander Holmes, Esq, of the Cornwall Chronicle,
the oldest editor in the island; Captain Morrish, Of
her Majesty's ship lmaun, and Colin Spaulding,
Commissioner Of Stamps. Great scarcity of money

The st. Louis papers are rejoicing over the
fact that Missouri will soon be freed from the
presence of those marauding bands of rebels with
which the State has lately been infested. The
most reliable accounts from General Prices army
