BARBADOS.

The Globe contains a long article
on the contract act of Barbados,
which we think would prove interest
ing to many Of our readers, and we
therefore intend reprinting it in the
Auis next week. The same paper re-
ports thus of the past and the coming
crops.
"The shipment of the Crop has beeG brought

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

The Interoceanic Canal-A Further Hear
 ing Before the Commfttee-Advocates of
 8 National Bankrupt Law.
 WASHINGTON, 19.-At 8 meeting of the Interoceanic Canal committee to-day, after Mr. Phelps had concluded his argument in favor of the Nicaraguan company bill, an in- formal discussion was had upon the charters granted by the Mexican and Nicaraguan gov ernments respectively to Captain Eads and the Nicaraguan Canal company. So far as could be determined from the expressions of those who spoke, the Eads bill is regarded with much favor. The concession given him bv the Mexican government is considered of great value to this government in view of the relations between the two countries. The Nicaraguan people have the advantage over Eads in that they do not ask for any guaran- fee of stock or money assistance. The com n,ittee expects to arrive at some conclusion on that subject at its meeting tomorrow.
 A convention of representatives of various mercantile associations of the United States met at Willard Hotel this evening to consid- CT the subject of the enactment of 8 national bankrupt law and resolution was almost unanimously adopted endorsing the national bankrupt bill drafted by Judge Lowell and referred to the Judiciary committee, and a committee was appointed to lay their views before the Judiciary committee. It is be- lieved that majority of the members of the House favor the enactment of modified bankrupt law,- but the session is so far advanced as to prelude all idea of any legislation on the subject by the present Congress.
 The board of supervising inspectors of steam vessels began their annual session to- day at the Treasury department. Several communications were received from invent ors of life rafts, boiler appliances, &c. [, which were referred to appropriate commit tees. The board will remain in session about three weeks
