apprehend that sixteen or seventeen
shillings per cwt- cannot be at all
very remunerative. What with the
interest which capital must command
and the wear and tear of machinery,
not taking into account the Bounty
system, planters must almost be dis
couraged. Whilst dwelling upon this
matter, we may mention hat there is
no visible and outward sign of inn
provement in the cultivation of the
staple product, no importation of inn
proved machinery; the same old
method of cultivation and manufac-
ture which existed from the time
canes were first planted, we believe,
still exists. Only two estases in the

their respective mills-the megass on
some of the properties must therefore

DOMINICA.

The weather in this colony had
been very wet. From the Dominican
we take the following notes on the
sugar crop and manufacture.
1--WE are glad to hear that the pros
poets for the ensuing Sugar Crop,
are all that can be desired by the
gentlemen engaged in hat industry;
the only. drawback is the depressed
state Of the English marker, for we

ANTIGUA.

From the Weekly Register we take
some remarks on the expected change
in the Government, and incidentally
on the fourishing state of the colony.
"They say, that the successor of
the Governor Of this colony will be
hi. w. Robinson, at present act
ing Governor of the Windward
Islands. They also say that Mr..
Robinson is likely to make a smart
Governor, peer into every matter con-
uected with the governorship Of a
prosperous and easily governed colo
ny; on taking up the reins he will
find that his predecessor, though
called "a mild ruler, has neverthe-
less quietly managed to keep the
Public Purse from getting empty;
there will be a large balance in the
Antigua Treasurer's hands at the close
of this month and within the last few
years a large reduction Of Public
Debt was effected. Agriculture has
Rourished, and commerce, as evidenc-
ed by the increased revenue from
imports and exports, has consider
ably expanded and o sappears to
be both active and profitable. Pro-
gress is also reported as to the i'm
proved condition of the several irsti-
tutions of the island from the Asylum
for lunatics to hat for the criminal
part Of the population, SO that, in
order to popularize himself, the new
Governor will have to exercise his
talents in inventing new measures,
patronizing new industries, and re-
moving cobwebs from the n
here and there, of public Offices"
In regard to the weather and the
crops the Observer has the following:
"Thc long wished for heavy rains
have not yet come, although light
showers, amounting for the month to
to 246 ms. have kept the canes grow
ing, though not so rapidly as could
be desired. At this season of the
year, however, when the tempera-
ture is low, evaporation takes but lit
tie moisture from the soil, and less
rain is required than at other periods.
Popeshead nevertheless is very back
ward, and will require forcing wea-
her during the next few weeks to
produce anything like a good crop.
Elsewhere the prospects are very
good. The Shipments of produce to
date are, Muscovado Sugar, 1900
hhds, 2496 trs, 1911 bbIs; Concrete
800 hhds, 81 frs. 1882 bhls. equal to
1887 hhds. Sugar Molasses $3.50
puns, and Rum 81 puns. There are
several hundred hhds. in store yet to
be shipped. and a vessel is momently
expected to load for the United
States, which will bring the total
shipments for the year up to over
$4,000 hhds. Sugar"

backwardness to deliver their canes
has had it's foundation where Mr.. Ell.
sees it, / hope that these explanatory
lines will be able to remove il.
