June is getting away from us very
quickly. We are glad to say that so far
it has been very favorable for reaping.
A large amount of sugar has been made,
and in some places the planters are begin
ming to talk about finishing crop. In
other places there is still much sugar to
be made, and the complaint of want of
labour which was heard in May has not
been diminished. Some showers have fall.
en- this week, which were needed for the
young canes, and which have done them
good service. The Yain was not so much
as to interfere seriously with sugar-mak.
ing. A large quantity of sugar is in
Town for pYrprla alton and the quantity il
being increaSrd daily. Local sales to-day,
Sugar $40, NolaSsps I5c. per gallon, AS
we have aail, hundreds of hogsheads Of
sugar are ia store in 4Gwn and on stan
cheon in HE country. 1t is affirmed gene
rally that the output would have been
considerably more If the necessary labOur
could have been secured, The very sickly
season VT have passed through has coca

causes are said to be also operating to
check the supply Of iahour. The time is

heard about it. From the tone adopted
by the correspondents of the JcugRGL les
pecially those in Christ Church and 81.
ThomIs)we entertain the hope thaE;good will
result from This discussion. That mistakes
have been made there can be no Doubt
that lessons have been diSregarded is
patent and .nat evil has followed both
parties is plain to those who have their
eyes Open. The question is, can the mis-
takes be corrected 7 Win people learn
from the past Can the evil tpat has
resulted ba arrested z We hold that the
evil can loo arrested, and should be. 20
the other questionAit is not. for us to reply.
There never was a time. IN our history
when calm reasoning and *wise c~ounselA
were more needed. Let them be heard and
prevail and we shall be all right. Let
them fail, and the Consequences cannot be
foreseen. We hope the. best. We are
pleased to say that the return in the boil
ing house has. continued good, and that
the quality of the snsaE Is iHgst What it
was d fortnight since. The young cane
crop is satisfactory In shallow, soils the
canes began to show the waut Of rain, buG

ence upon their appearance, With lighr

The cane crop has absorbed attention to the
exclusion OF every thing else. The market
is vel, supplied with English and Ameri,
