ANTIGJA.-The weather during the fort
night was all that the UIautoys could
desire, and The prospects OF the next years
crop were becoming more encouraging.
IN the city OF st. Johns the rain gauges
record a fall OF moisture amounting to
nearly six inches. Every district in the
island has been Watorol more or less, and
IN some quarters whole fields have been
tor days under water. The hcalah Of the
island has been hitherto good but the
usual fever and catarrhal affections were
expected at this season.
GRENADA.-There had been some wet
days during the fortnight, and on one or
two occasions light thunder-storms; in
some places the cane fields have benefited
IN a small degree, but in others, particular
ly on the seaside, the cultivation was in a
bad state. Cocoa was also suffering, and
it was feared the November picking would
be small.
BARBADOS.-Thc excitement Occasioned
by the sinking Of the Liverpool Steamer
Cuban in Carlisle Bay with a valuable
cargo, and the landing and sale Of the goods
by public auction, led 10 a serious row
among the labourers and the police. A
large quantity Of the goods was left on the
open wharf, under the protection of the police
guard, during the night. Several packages
were made away with by the mob, and
before the sale was closed, they began to
peIt the police and set them at defiance.
In the evening the mob returned and were
very disorderly, attacking the police with
stones and bottles, breaking the lamps on
the wharf, and attacking the houses in the
neighbourhood. The police being out
numbered, a company of the goth Regi-
ment, and a company of Artillery were
ordered to the scene by the Governor;
they soon rescued the Town from the
violence of the mob. About fifty prison
ers were made. Special Constables were
sworn in. Several of the rioters were
wounded, and a boy is reported killed.
At latest date the Town was quiet.
