ANTIGUA.

The Southern colonies appear to
have had much more rain thapswe
have had during last month. In Anti
qua down to the Goth July So lines Of
rain had fallen, according to the
Register, which gives the following
account of the weather and shipments
Of produce.
1.-THE weather for the last few days
has been rather too wet for manufac-
turing sugar; there was also with the
rain loud peals of thunder and~vivid
lightning; we hear that the latter
damaged the Church of St. Paul
English Harbour. Previously this
month the weather was very favor
able to agricultural and sugar manu-
featuring purposes; the crop is now
nearly reaped; the quantity of pro-
duce exported is as under;-
Concrete 521 hhds., Muscovado
I0,471hhds., Molasses 5093 puncheons.
Rum 20 puncheons.
Rain for the month-6.91 inches
previously this year-36.91 do.

The Cleaner has some interesting
remarks on the American census.
"The labours of the thousands of
Enumerators are not yet sufficiently
advanced to give the total population
of the Republic, but it would appear
that the ratio of increase between
1860 and 1870, a decade of civil war
and small immigration, will be main
tained-224 per cent-and indeed
there are expectations not without
warrant, that the ratio between 1850
and 1860-354 per cent. will be
approached, giving the country a total
population Of fifty millions. AT the
beginning of the century, the popula-
ton was about eight millions, and
thus the United States have seer an
annual increment of population of
three quarters of a million"
The article concludes with the fol-
lowing remarks on the connection of
this subject with the West Indies.
Returning to the present Census
of the U. S. A. we would point out
that the interest of these figures for
Jamaica and the other West Indies,
lies, in the fact that they evidence a
market which grows with marvellous
rapidity for tropical produce Of all
kinds. If we limited the area to be
supplied in the United States by the
Mississippi River and the Northern
Lakes, room would be afforded, under
favorable terms of admission, for all
that the West Indies can put forth,
to say nothing of the necessities Of
British North America. Again, the
Union is occupied by a people of rest
less ingenuity who are already in a
position to manufacture goods of
every description as cheaply as ANY
other people,and who are elbowing for
custom older rivals at the farthest
ends of the earth. Hence, without
considering questions of government,
nationality, etc., there is every
promise in the increasing prosperity
and population Of the United States,
of increasing prosperity and popula-
ton for the West Indies. If we take
simply the Atlantic seaboard to ascer-
tain the number of possible American
patrons, we find New York with
100000; Philadelphia with 85O,OoO;
Boston, 100000; Baltimore, 35O,OOO;
Brooklyn, 100000; Washington,
10000; Providence, 100000; Will
mington, 10000"

The weather in Jamaica had been
again very dry, and on the north side
a caterpillar had made its appearance
among the canes, and had proved very
destructive. Ground provisions were
very scarce and dear.

From the Globe it appears that Mr..
now Sir VIM. Robinson of the BAHIA
mas is to be appointed as Governor
for the usual term, and not temporaN
ly as was first contemplated. Accord
ing to a Nassau paper quoted in the
Grenada Chronicle Sir William has
shewn himself an able Governor dur
ing his five years and a halt in the
Bahamas. The finances have inn
proved, and the agriculture of the
colony hasspecially benefited by his
exertions.
The Globe says:
"Sir William Robinson will enter on
his duties at a season Of political calm
and peace-which has been the out
come of the administration of his pre-
decessor. He will find the Legisla-
ture engaged in the discussion of
useful questions relating to the domes-
tic legislation of the colony, and
others awaiting attention. He will
find no very large social reforms, or
no burning" questions to test his
craftsmanship, and if he. brings no
Utopia with him, to be developed out
of the impracticable, or no special
crochets to be foisted on the Legisla-
ture, we see no reason why he should
not have a useful and harmonious
tenure of office. From what is known
of Sir William Robinson's policy in
the Bahamas we may anticipate for
him q useful career in Barbados. OF
course we may be sure that he will
receive a cordial welcome to Barbados
and that he will find the people and
the Legislature willing to cooperate
with him i'm every scheme for the
public good, if it commends itself to
the practical sense Of the community"
In reference to Agricultural matters
we clip the following:
"The annual Ploughing Match
and Show of Stock Of the General
Agricultural Society took place at the
Valley Estate, in the parish of st.
George, on Wednesday the 2ist
instant The exhibition was q very
creditable one, and the prizes were
presented by His EAcellency General
