The credit of the colony is wonderful.
The last small loan was raised at home

can readily be had at ~ very little below
par at the same rate. The Government
has begun extending the railroad, ana a
telegraph system has been completed,
making Il complete circuit of the island
This has proved an immense success, ana
although it has only been completed q
little more than a month il has demonstra-
ted that it will pay. We wish to direct
the attention OfAmerican merchants anu
manufacturers to the island OF Jamaica as
a field for money making. For press taci-

newspapers, two trl weekIleS ana one
monthly. Falmouth possesses one dairy.

Abiding particularly to the native woods
it might be said that of late years such a
wholesale destruction of the forests has
been going on in this country Omitted

United States will be compelled to look
elsewhere for her supply of cabinet.maklng

dance at our very doors. Her forests
abound in mahogany, cedar, ebony, llg.

and fustic. AS to what may be exported
thither-all the produce in the shape or
domestic provisions comes from us, and
we can furnish dry goods, machinery,
building material, telegraph and railroad
supplies. and household utensils to advan-
tage, a market which has not been largely
opened up as yet. AS to cotton goods, IT
is an admitted fact that we surpass Eng.
land in the trade with China, India and
Japan. why not in the West Indies also.

a tund of varied information on every pos

from so to SO degrees, and eldom at any
period falling lower than Go degrees. The
mineral resources are almost undeveloped.
To recapitulate, this vigorous, growing,
