JAMAJcA.-In consequence Of the
unusual lateness of the rainy season
this year, all our Sugar Plantations are
behind, and it is said that sugar making
will not commence generally until about
March next. In consequence of this,
there is little money circulating among
the Peasantry, and all departments of
business are suffering from a general
financial depression. The present
Christmas does not promise TO be as
generally Joyous rs that Of previous
years. IN consequence ofthe tightness Of
the times.
We are 10 have steam communication
between this island aud New York
twice a month, commencing in April
next, when the new 'eaner "Atlas''
will run alternately with the "Claribep'
which will be due here on the 10Th of
January, from New York.

Speakers in the debate in the National Assem-
bly, on the petitions for the dissolution of that
body. M. Theirs, to show the neutral position
he occupies on the question, will not attend the
sessions during the discussions. The Left in

and an excuse for refusing to e~vaouate the
country.

before a real progress, in the spirit I have
indicated, has been effected, nor before that
which stands as law of the country can be
carried out vigorously, and without arbi-
,trary exceptions tending to weaken autBo-
rity and perplex the minds.
] hope that even those, who-partlv be-.
cause the present state suits their inter
ests to that extent they deem it possible
and partly because the accustomed,
inspires them with more confidence than
the new-hitherto have been preferred
that the matters should remain dormant.
will admit the force of Governments mo-
tives 1t is the conviction of Government
that the contemplated reform affords to all
the parties intended in the matter, a pros
pect of improving their condition it is
therefore DESTROYS that the reforms should
be carried out by the sincere cooperation
of all, not excepting those who till now
have thought alteration of the Labor-Re-
gulatioGs ill-timed.
In recommending this matter to the
valued care of the Government Of St.
Croix, I shall merely beg to request that
the commission be directed to assemble
and to, promote deliberations with such
dispatch as the commission can bestow,
and the nature of the case may warrant.

A saturday Nights Row

The proprietor Of this establishment
had pretty fair name In this city, ut
one time. He was engaged with Bob,
the barbnr, opposite the Crutchiield'
In the honorable occupation Of shaving
hair cutting and Its connections, oil NJ
which he performed capitally. But
this did not appear to suit Fosters am-
bition. There was not money eaough
In that. Foster wanted moro "soap"---
common and often very rabid prin-
ciple In some men. So Foster absolyed
all allegiance to the razor and shears,
and set up for himself In n rambling
building on Elm street. lie had sA-
loon and billiard tables below and sew
eral apartments above. BY and by
those above began to fill up with wo'
men, some yellow, some real Guinea
and, II we do not err, some Caucasian.
Below, plratical set congregated and
succeeded not irfrequen,ly to raise the
devil. The neighborhood began to COM
plain, and Foster came under the ban.
Saturday night Inst the authorities
got wind of some gambling going Oh in
the second-story Of this institution, and
Officers Phares, Crabbe, Trusten and
Elder went over, got sight of the game,
and marched up to arrest them. AS
they attempted to enter the room Fos-
ter rushed past them, got in the door
first, and slammed ii in the officers
face. They effected an entrance, but
found the odds against them, viz:
about ten armed niggers to five armed
white men. Finding that nothing
could be done there the officers went
down stairs to see If they could arrest
any of them below, and found an equal
force ready for any emergency there,
whoreupon the officers retired, and on
Sunday morning went out and arrested
Foster and another man, and brought
them before the Mayor who fined the
chief of the concern $50, and the other
very nearly the same amount.
City Attorney Wellborn is spoken of
with the most lavish praise by all who
witnessed the admirable manner with
which he conducted the prosecution.

Yesterday afternoon we seated our
self beside Tom Ranahan, Esq, and
at q whisper that graceful and elegant
moving mare Kate, the property of
MIR. Wlswall, of this city, glded swiftly
towards the eastern suburbs of our city
with the lightness of q bird upon the
wing and rs unbroken MS the speed of
an, arrow. This animal is the one
spoken Of in a brief article in this paper
a few days ago, wherein We notified the
public that it was to be raffled at the
1.-TWO Brothers" saloon. Having tested
the speed and had ocular demonstra-
ton of the other qualities of this bril-
liant roadster, we think W. feel war
ranted in advising everybody to take
chance In this rattle. The mare is
young, carries herself handsomely,
quick at hearing, draws buggy with
the utmost evenness, and is as gentle
as lamb, and the man that wins her
will draw one Of the most valuable
prizes in the State, and may consider
himself five hundred dollars the richer
