"a meeting was held in Georgetown to
consider and determine what means should
be adopted to induce the Royal Mail
Steam Packet Company to send an altern-
ate steamer direct from England to Bar
bados in lieu of ST. Thomas. The follow
ing is the plan proposed 1.-THE steamer
leaving Demerara on the 18th would
reach st. Lucia on the 18th via Barbados.
She would coal there and return to Bar
bados TO meet the steamer leaving Eng
land on the End and arriving at Barbados
on the 18th she would take the mails, sc
for st. Vincent and Trinidad and reach
Demerara on the 18th leave again on the
23rd for Trinidad, St. Vincent and Barba-
dos, reaching st. Lucia on the 9th, and
ST. Thomas on the 29th, await the stea-
mer leaving England on the 18th, and
then perform the service as at present.
Vessels of the class of the "Neva," leay-
ing England on the 2ud, would easily
reach Barbados on the 14th, and st. Tho
mas on the 18th, the day on which they
were due direct from Southampton"

plan and its eminent ftness-for Dtme-

BARBADos.-The Globe reports that
the health of the island has not under

as far as it has heard, since the date Of
its last report O-The conduct of Mr..
Hewitt, one of the judges of the Assis-

by the government, which took place on
Cd inst. On 10th inst. proceedings were
TO be entered IN formd judicii.
The Legislature met on 9th inst, and

their employers, feeling that they are
well cared for. His Excellency conclud-
ed his speech by saying 81 have endea-
voured during the short period which has
elapsed since | last addressed you, to re-
deem the promise which | then made to
you to administer the affairs of this Colo
ny with a single eye to the advantage
and happiness Of its inhabitants His
recommendation aud these words do hon
or to the Governor of Barbados, and we
would wish to hear them echoed by other
official lips in other colonies.
GRENADA.-The Legislature was in
session on 9Th inst, aud, among other
matters, the ''Roman Catholic and Wes-
Ieyan Ministers Salary Bill" was discus
sed, and from the time of the debate it
appears that salaries of these ministers
will not exceed G150 per annum.
The weather is reported as being still
too dry for planters, and, as the Chronicle
says, there is now no hope of a better
crop of Sugar next year than the misera~
Bile one Of this. The sam paper adds
that there has been less sickness among
the inhabitants during tile fortnight, and
cases Of fever are less prevalent.
ANTIGUA The Times, in reporting the
arrival of the boat NeUa at our island
states that she "did not enter The harbour
on account of the prevalence Of yellow
fever" II the Times had read our issue
of 30th ulto, which We forwarded per
last mail, it would have found there the
reason for the NeU0'S not entering the
harbour, and which was in no wise that of
the prevalence of yellow fever here, for
it simply did not prevail; as the island
was being perfectly healthy.
A private report of 10Th lust. states
that the weather is all that can BE desired
for the growing crops that fine showers
have fallen almost every day that there
is every prospect Of a large yield, and
that Sugar making will commence about
the beginning of March.
Colonial Bank Bills on London are

will be a large surplus to the credit of

ADVERTISING TEsTED.-An Atlanta paper, in
the course of an article on the value of adver-
tising to business men, says:
merchant in Macon, who had been sue
cessful for years, concluded at the beginning
Of one year thar he would try the virtue OF ad-
vertising. That year he spent eighteen hun-
dred dollars with the printers. and his own tes-
timony is, that he did three times the amount
OF business that he ever did before in the same
length of time. He still kee os his name and
business prominent in the papers, and finds
his profits STEADILY in n,reasing. Other mer-
chants of Macon, witnessing the success OF
this house, followed it's example, and now the
Macon papers are among the best patronized
in the State, and the business men OF that city
are among the most substantial in the South.
We happen to be able to testify 10 the truth OF
this statement In every particular. For the
size Of the place, there is more advertising
done in Macon than In any other city Of the
South, and hence her extraordinary prosperity
since the close OF the war. The name oil
nearly. every merchant and business man in
the city is to be found in her daily papers; not
occasionally and condensed into the smallest
possible space, as ii the parties were afraid
somebody would find out whore they are, but
regularly, systematically and prominently,
and IN many instances with an apparent disre-
gard OF cost. They know what they are at,

WASHINGTON, February Ex-senator Eauls-

The President has vetoed the Copper Tariff
bill.
In THE HousE, the following bills ,were in.
troduced under the regular ca II: Recognizing
the Independence Of Cuba: devotng the public
lands in Alabama to internal improvem ents.
Ajoint resolution granting the right Of way
to the Memphis, El Paso and Pacific Railroad,
from Ell Paso to the Pacific, was passed by a
vote Of 122 to As.
In discussing the precedence OF business,
it was stated that the Legislative. Judiciary
and Postoffice appropriations we're pending,
and there are seven privileged reports from
committees which may provoke debate.
Schencks bill to strengthen the public credit
was considered without action.
The House went into committee on the Post.
Office Appropriation bill. The letter carrying

sand inhabitants. The bill was passed, when
the House took recess.

In replying to tbe committee inviting him to
Baltimore, Mr.. Johnson said his whole aim
had been for the general good Of the country
without regard to any present or future popu-
larity. His constant aim was the restoration
ofprosperity to the country and the happiness
and peace of all it's citizens.
In vetoing the Copper bill the President
says: "The bill would diminish the public re-
celpts and impose an additional tax on an
overburdened people, who should not be fur
ther impoverished that monopolies may be fos-
tered and corporations enriched. 1t would be
detrimental to the shipping interest, and
would increase the price of blue vltriol, which
enters into many industries, seventy per cent.
The depression in copper mining is attributa-
BILE to the newly discovered rich mines and
the substitution of other materials for copper,
hence the tariff. instead Of fostering into exist
ence new industry, would simply be impos-
ing pei petual tax on the people to support an
improbable business"
There was a senatorial caucus this after
noon. Twenty-Five senators voted to postpone
action on the Tenure-of-ofica bill till next ses.
sion. There is hope that with the aid of the
Democrats an unconditional repeal may be Sc
cured.
The friends Of the Thirty-second Parallel
Road are much elated over the action of the
House to-day. claiming that the votetndicates
