but the price still keeps up at "a cents
per gallon. In our last summary We
stated that we had seen a sample of the
vacuu,n-pan sugar, from HarroW, which
was not better Than best osclllated. This,
however, could not have been a fair spe-
cimen, as within the last few days we
paid IA visit to the Estate, and there saw
sugar which, for grain and color, IS = n-
equaIled Ivy any osclllated sugar ever
made. We also learnt THAT the enterprls-
ing proprietor is likely 10 be repaid, not
only Ivy the superior quality, but also by
the better yield from his can Juice.

our readers are probably aware that ordl-
nary sugar attains u temperature OF 24O
Fair, before being shipped but an OBJ
servant gentleman finds that by no means
can the boiling point Of the ordinary
weak sugar. now being generally mand-
featured, be raised much beyond 226 he
also finds that as the sugar improves ii
little, so does the boiling point rlse' but
the general average is not more than the
low figure just stated. AS these obser-
vations were made in an Asphalt pan,
which affords greater facility for obserY-
ing the thermometer than the ordinary
tache, they are likely 10 be correct. 1t
may be also here remarked that even
with an Aspinall pan, the ordinary boil
ing-point Of good sugar is not less than
$40 deg.
On Sunday The 14th instant there were
frequent showers, but they were very
light, so that, although the whole day
was rainy, the greatest rainfall, which was
over the hills Of St. Joseph, was not more
thu 70 parts of an inch, and in many
parts of the country it did not amount to
one-half of an inch. Wherever the soil
seemed sufficiently moist, potatoes were
planted the following day ; but as there
has been no continuance of showers since,
it is 10 be feared that all the slips are
lost. For the last len days there have
been very high winds every day, and
now aud then a shower at night-reguiar
good crop-time weather; for although
the winds have been high, they have been
steady, and we have not heard of any OF
the mills having been injured-Feb 26.

BARBADOS.

AgricuhuraL.-The crop season OF 1863
will always stand on record as being at
tended with difficulties of the most unu-
sual kind. While bri ght suns and a con-
,%inuance of high winds seem to offer every
facility for sugarmaking, the planter is in
reality more sorely perplexed than if he
had to contend with calms and heavy
rains; his real difficulty being that he has
TO deal with an uncrystallizable juice, for
we regret that the results of the reaping
during the past fortnight are not such as
TO enable US TO give any more favourable
account of the general yield IN the black
soils !; although, on the other hand, where
reaping has been commenced in The red
soils and billy districts, The yield has been
tolerable, not only in the field, hut also
in the boiling-houst. Day after day We
have accounts of the reaping in St. Philip
and Christ Church, which would be ludi-
