THE
IN ST. LUCIA.
(From the St. Lucia Observer

Messrs. Fawcett, Preston g. Co. of Liver
pool, one of the first firms of Engineers in
England, have contracted to put up the Fac
tory with all its machinery in working order,
by January 1876. And it is expected that
contracts for nearly 10000 tons of canes, to
be supplied at the most favorable rates.. will
be entered into by the Planters in the valley
of Grand ul-de-Sae and its neighbourhoOd.
Mr.. Oliver Murray, who has for many years
been engaged in erecting sugar Factories with
the most improved machinery by MessFs.
Fawcett Preston & Co., in The Island of Cuba,
and has lately superintendent the building of
one of the largest Sugar Factories in the world.
for the VicerOy Of Egypt, has begun operations
IN the valley, and appears to be vigorously
pushing the railway track from the sea through
the cOntributOry estates, while materials for
the buildings are being collected on the beach.
The heretofore silent and deserted shore of
Grand-Cul-de-Sac Bay is now busy with arti-
zans and ~lab0rers, and the lake.like surface
of the bay itself is alive with boats of every
size and description carrying material to the
Factory. Several vessels have arrived with
timber and lime from Demerara and Barbados.
The prOprietors of the P0inte Estate, with
enlightened generosity, have given the land
required for the site of the buildings, and Mr..
Roger, of Inc0mm0de, has literally offered a
cool healthy situation on the hill of CicerOn,
within hail of the works, for placing the dwell
ings of the employees. Land has risen very
much in value at Oul-de-Sac, and lots which
two years ago would hardly fetch &c a carr6

1t is to be regretted that petty difficulties of
detail, annoying as sand-fies and of about equal
Importance, should be continually cropping up
through the ignorance of some and the natural
ObstructivenesS of others, But these are evils
incidental to the starting of all undertakings.

Our planters have had the worst of it this
year. The season has been very unfavorabls
for grinding operations, and this has been a
great drawback which they have had to con-
tend against. The weather within the last
few days, has changed for the better, and
looks as if it will keep fair for some weeks TO
come and our planters would in that case be
enabled to flush the unreaped balance of their
crop. The canes in the quarter OF Castrfes
have not yielded two-thirds Of their usual yield,
but we hear the case is not SO bad in the south
ern parts of the Island. The prospects OF
next years crop are in every case. cheering,
and there is reason to expect a PROSPEROUS
year in 1875.

much talked of press gag-law of the last

what 1t is not. He stated that libel was

JUDGE HOAR'S DECLINAIIOA.

Hon. +. r. Hoar of Massachusetts we
regret to see has positively declined to be
candidate for Congress in the seventh
district. Not only the State but the coun-
try at large is a loser by this determination
of Mr.. Hoar not to re-enter Congress,
where his abilities and integrity had made
an honorable name for him. In his letter
declining he makes honorable mention OF
Congress, and particularly the body with
which he was connected. He says:
There is no official position which seems
to me more honorable, or which furnishes a
field for greater public service, than that OF a
direct representative of the people. Nor 90 l

pancy than justice are so frequently maze
