be coming forward in quantity. Shipments al
ready exceed what they have done for some
years, to like date. The USine is at full work
aud boiled off 100 CHARTERS on Wednesday, be.
ing ten or a dozen, we understand, more than
was ever boiled on any single day last year.
The Merle is clearing with $500 bags Of its
beautiful canary crystals, an Improvement on
last seasons No. 2. The bags weigh precisely
2 cwt. net, a most convenient package for the
grocery trade and for the last to sell to fami-
lies. The Col Co.. has had these bags made
expressly to its order and sent to its agency
here for its own high-claSs sugars; two oppo-
site corners are provided with ears, for easy
handling and painted on each side are the
words use no hooks The Usine expects to
ship 10000 such bags this season, with proba-
bly, 1000 hhds. of No. l and 3 or the equiva-
lent of that quantity in other packages. The
Co. has furnished E SOcOrY0 with concretors,
having found the concrete sugar made on other
of its Estates, Notwithstanding prejudices
against it among the ~refnerS, to have paid bet
ter than muscovadO. Its No. l crystals have
been pronounced by Mr.. VIM. Russell of Deme-
rara and Mr.. Time, to be unsurpassed by any,
thing made in that colony, and the firm here
has Just received an order from England for
500 hhds. of that quality. We hear that Mr..

the great Factory he examined it and its
working infinitely in every part; and l. if we are
rightly informed, has written a formal report
on the subject. In several respects, its CON-
p~leteness and the results exceeded what he had
been led to expect; but he was able to give a
hint or two which will prove valuable. The
second quality of Crystals, after some expert
ments under his eye, are brighter, handsomer
than before, and will better meet the public
taste among the larger class of English buyers.
No extraneOus matter was added, the only
change being in the manipulation of the sac
charine ingredients.
The sky has been sometimes overcast, but
the showers are always light, and easily alb
sorbed. The air, out of the sun, yet tells US
we are not out of the northern winter. This
GOODNESS is not unattended with danger to some
constitutions.
Not a stick or stone of the Stations is yet to
be seen and there is no appearance yet of
preparation to open the Railway, even to st.
Joseph. The cuttings were only finished two
or three weeks ago and the locomotives have
not arrived, nor their sheds and fitting or re-
pairing shops been erected. It is foolish there
fore to raise false hopes. There can be no
opening for several months.

Message wherein he accuses the actual system
as having fallen far short of what it should be.
The secularists will not be long in replying,
nor will the Ward system be undefended. If
Education is to be extended, the teachers be
more efficient, and the results improved-all
which the Governor demands-we do not see
how it is to be effected without increased out
lay, whereas he says we spend too much al
ready. It is a question of money, as it seems
to us-that is, unless one lower the quality;
but this is not to be allowed. His Excellency
thinks the clergy will do much at small cost,
with some aid from government funds; but they
always might have done this, and did not some
say becausethey were weighted down by impossi-
bic obligations. We shall soon hear more upon
the subject and if it can be shewn that a much
greater number of children can be brought un-
der any instruction worth having, at no great
err cost than now incurred, we shall certainly
be happy to see it.
The Governors remarks about waste in the
expenditure for Public Works have been mis-
understood, and given rise to extravagant
chuckling among takers and writer's whose cue
is ever to find things wrong. There have been
a few errors no doubt, as in many su6a mat
ters. and there may have been some waste and
idleness in the absence of the chief, but to pre-
tend that vast sums have been sunk without a
return is sheer nonsense. No colony in these
seas has done more in public works within the
last few years-solid enduring works, we'll
built. and called for by the public wants, than
this island, and all done without mourning a
