ANTIG A.

We are happy to report that our Anti
qua friends ore enjoying what we wish
lhey could spare US 8omc Of, viz: abua-
dant rains. We learn from tho .Aatigua
Times Of 2lst April that there had been
heavy showers in the forth aud south
parts Of The island, ia some districts as
much as four inches. And the Times Of
the 2sra says tbat during the week the
island had been "well soaked" with rain,
and tie weather is pronounced "Splendid
growing" weather. We regret to learn,
however, that the yield per acre in the
present crop is much below the estimate.
The new Cnief Judge, Sir Gorge
Campbell Anderson, with his son and
daughters, arrived by the last mail, aid
entered upon his duties.
As regards the Steamer "Uuion'', which
IS used for conveying the members of the
Federal Government from one island to
another, we are Informed by The Ttmrs
that its services will be continued for three
more years at $4,000 per annum. The
Union will be put in thorough repair at
St. Thomas; and afterwards she will ply
regularly between The ISLANDS Of this CO
louy, carrying mails and passengers"

The yield OF the canes, and the quality
Of the sugar during the month OF April,
show a marked Improvement on the last
month.
The Boiling Lake has Just been visited
by four gentlemen, who found it in a state
of furious ebullition, though it had been
perfectly quiet a few days before.
We copy from the Dominican the fol-
lowing amusing incident:
A Correspondent at Castle Bruce writes
to inform US, under date OF April 10, that
a ducking was inflicted on Friday the 9th
instant on Exciscman G S. Lockhart and
Sub-Inspectoy James of the Police in the
sea near the village, evidently by prccon-
certed arrangement between the men OF
the boat ia which these officers were at
the time, and the crew of French snug.
gIer whom they were pursuing. The
modus Operandi was very simple. Just as
the Officers came near enough to the
French boat to see the rich prize OF cham
payne, %claret, oil, butter, &C., which
composed the cargo, their own boatmen
quietly removed a plug at the bottom of
their boat, of which they were unaware,
WnereuPOn the DOaC immediately nl'eu
With water, leaving the two limbs OF the
laws struggling in the sea, to the great
glee and amusement of the people of the
quarter, whose sympathy with the snug
glers from the French islands is notorious.
After this unto ward occurrence the French
boat, as if in defiance of the Officers, made
the circuit Of the bay twice and then lei
surely stood for Melville Hall, where the
cargoawas probably landed. Mr.. James has
since returned to town, but we understand
that Mr.. Lockhart, who is much chagrined
at'his discontinue, still fingers about Point
