From the Barbados West Indian, June 27.) Inter-Colonial News, From Grenada and T'rinidad we learn the continuance of rain has very much interfered with and diminished the sugar crop. In Trinidad It is said that one half, or 25,000 hhds. still remain to be reaped, of which a portion might be got in October, when the fair weather sets in again. In Grenada about 8,000 hhds. had been reaped, and a cousiderable por tion remains on the ground with little chance of saving it. The stock has suf fered much from the wet and the state of the roads, and mules are much in de mand. So is salt fish and every kind of meat Saltfish, the staple food of the majority, is now a very scarce article, and has not been abundant for a long while. Good fresh meat, excepting pork, is also be coming scarce, our dependence being en tirely on the animals reared in detall, by the settlers spread over the country in small locations, with, now and then, a tough old ox, that having done years of faithful service, has survived the wear and tear of heavy bardens, muddy roads, and ill usage. Nearly all the sheep in the country are, in small flocks, only sufficient for the uses of their owners, so that without a constant supply of fish every household is put to its shifts. At Trinidad some change has been in troduced for the facilitating of the busi ness of the Criminal Courts, by having Chief Justice Knox to sit in the Supreme Court, and Justice Rowen in anotier, to hear the cases for trial, except for capital offences in which both Judges sit together. 'T'he Calendar contained 34 cases, of which 5 were for capital offen ces. Os the latter two were brought in guilty and the prisoners (Coolies) con demned to death. Os the others for mi nor offences 29 in number, not less than 12 were brought in not guilty. The June Session of the Supreme Cri minal Court, commenced on Tuesday the 13th, and was brought to a close on Satur day the 17th instant. There were thirty four cases set down for trial, five of which were for capital offences. The other twenty-nine cases were made up of larce nies and assaults. Os the minor cases twelve were brought in not guilty. A verdict of manslaughter was given in one of the capital cases; one was postponed to next session. A verdict of not guilty was given in a third, and two were brought in guilty—both of them Coolie laborers, against whom sentence of death was re corded. ‘The calendar was divided be tween the Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Bowen, in terms of the Ordinance No. 8 of 1865, erecting the Practice-Court into a Court for the Trial of Criminal Causes. The Chief Justice sat in the Supreme Court and Mr. Justice Bowen officiated in the smaller court, which has been fit ted up with a doek for prisoners, jury box, &c. The Judges were thius enabled to try two cases at one and the same time. Mr. Attorney General conducted the prosecutions before the Chief Justice, and Mr. Solicitor General conducted those before Mr. Justice Bowen. The capital offences were tried before the two Judges sitting together in the larger court. The division of the calendar between the two courts greatly abridged the labors of the Judges and enabled them to dispense with the attendance of the Naparima Jurors on Friday evening, so as to per mit the latter to return to their homes by Saturday morning’s steamer. This $Te CROLX AV S result of the new system gave great sat isfaction to the jurors from the coast, some of whom were cited from the quar ter of Cedros—to which there was no conveyance afier Saturday morning for another week, except by means of a drogher. The duration of the Session was shortened at least a third, by holding two courts at once; and although the Court Rooms adjoin, there was no undue noise, coufusion, or difficulty in empan nelling the juries for each court from the general body of jurors seated in the larger court. In Demerara the ¢combined Court had terminated its sitting, having fixed tie estimate for the year at $1,442,916. Mr. MaxiroLp, Superintendent of Pablic Works, was unfortunately drowned in the river, as he was crossing in the Fer ry boat having fallen overboard. The accident occurred a few days before a public Ball in honor of the Queen’s Birth day, for which the sum of £2OO had been appropriated. The Governor proposed instead of spending the money upou the Ball to make it a preseunt to the widow of the unfortunate man left with a large family, which being readily consented to, Mr. Hincks generously added £SO to the sum from his own pocket. ANTIGUA. We have nothing local, save the fine showery weather, which, having set n about the middle of the last month, has continued, with just suflicient intervals of bright sunshine to quicken vegetation and favour the efforts of Planters to take off their crops. An opinion seems to prevail elsewhere that the Colony is sel dom or never visited by rain; and very recently a newspaper published in Bar bados, the accredited organ of the agri cultural interest there, took occasion while penning one of its accustomed diu tribes vilificatory of the island, to cite, as an evidence of the absence of moisture in Antigaa, the fact that excellent guano had been discovered there, most disingen uously, if' not ignoring the circumstances altogether, omitting to give due promi nence to the fact that the guano was discovered in a cave where the exereta of animals were deposited for centurics, was sheltered frem the influences of descend ing moisture. In ordinary years the fall of rain here is over 50 iuches in the year, and although we have experienced a drought of unprecedented severity for the last two or three years, in common with other places in the neighbourhood, we do not see that that misfortune, with whieh Barbados, by the way, is often threatened, and which her artificial soil can less sustain, should be made the oc casion of remarks from one of its jourrals, depreciatory of the value of agricultural properties here. It is quite true, that even in the midst of our drought we are able to relieve a few hundreds of the starving population of “Little England” by giviig them rara! employment; but that fact it mizht be thought, would ra ther have entitled us to the gratitude of the Agricullural Reporter, than to its re peated sncers at our expense. Leaving this rather unpleasant subject, we are happy to say that our rain fall, by a re cord kept in St. John's for the last month, and kindly furnished us by a scientific friend, was— From May 12th to May 315t....4 13 From June Ist to date.........1 41 z AR ARSI In 6§ 54 and that there is every appearance of a continuance of the same favourable weather. The country indeed looks beau tiful; there has been a decided improve ment in trade, and we are all hopeful for the futare.— Observer, June 9. A very valuable and highly interestiqg little Pamphlet has recently appeared in print on the Topography and Statistics of Antigua, by Dr. Adam Nicholson of this City. In a condensed form we have a sketch of the history of the Colony its counstitution and laws; its climate, pro ductions &e., its Revenue aud Expendi ture, Imports and Exports; its Educa tional and Ecclesiastical establishments; with a variety of other highly useful in formation—all forming a hand book of re ference of great value, affording a bird’s eye view of the Colony in its various as peets. No one is better qualified than Dr. Adam Nicholson, from his known literary acquirements, and from information de rived by close observation and long expe rience; to treat on the subject he has ta ken in hand. His statistics appear to be got up and arranged with considerable care; and we need say nothineg in com mendation of the literary merits of the production. We could have wished that the Doctor had not narrowed his labors to so small a compass, and the work had been more full, and the number of its pages extended. His chapter on the climate and cn the diseases iucident ther. to, is highly valuable, and will be read, we doubt not, with considerable interest. There are also some excellent observations on the aridity which the absence of trees and forests tends to produce, and which in a Colony like Antigua, so subject to drought, is of especial importance to us, and ought to receive attentive consider ation—~"l%mes, June, 3. DEMERARA. A melancholy accident occurred on 10th instant as the Ferry Steamboat Rat tle Snake was passing over the River. Mr. Maunifold, the engineer and contractor for the erection of the Water Works, was the only passenger aft as the steamer was leaving the stelling on this side. When she arrived the other side, he was no where to be found. Thisis all that s known of him by those on board the steamer. Such of the particulars as are kunown of the accident are gathered from Captain Jeftrey, of the Kiltearn, and Cap tain Bisson, of the George Rainy, and some of the crew of these two vessels, be tween which the steamer was sailing. They assert that Mr. Manifold walked aft and seemed to be earnestly inspecting the rigging, &ec., of the Kilteurn, one of Messrs. Sandbech, Parker, and Co’s newly built vessels. He was seen to Stagger backwards, and at length to fall over woard, doubtless from a rush of blood to the head, from which he was suffering for some time previously. He was an expert swimmer, and strove manfully against the current, calling lustily for assistance. The Captain of the George Ruainy, seeing him struggling against the tide called out to him to turn and go with the stream, he endeavoured to do so, but was carried down by the carrent, he rose again ex hausted, butsank to rise no more, al though the boats lowered from these vessels were close by.—Colonist, June 29, We understand the proposal for giving up the celebration of the Queen’s birth day had originated with His Excellency the Governor who expressed his willing- ness to make a present of the amount,

granted, from the contingencies for car rying out the entertainment, to Mrs. Mani fold, if askéd by some persons on the part of the public to do so. Accordingly some of the friends of the late lamented gentleman waited on His Excellency yes terday morning to express their desire that the humane suggestion should be carried out and their high approval of it. The sum thus secured for Mrs. Manifold is £2OO which His Excellency has far ther enhanced by bestowing £SO from his private purse.—lbid. APPAREILS RESPIRATEURS. On Thursday, the 18th inst., there was exhibited, at the Polytechnic Institution, Regent Street, a new, and what promises to become one of the most useful of modern appliances in dealing with water, smoke, &c. The invention is a French one, and the patentee, M. Galibert, is now in England with a view of exhibiting his very clever invention. Hitherto, in all attempts made in this country, it has been deemed necessary to envelope the diver in a huge suit, which must seriously impede the frcedom of his motions and the ac tions of his limbs. With the new inven tion of M. Galibert this difficulty is over come, and witliout covering the head or impediong the action of the arms a man is at liberty to do under water all that he could do on dry land. The Appareils Res pirateurs are remarkably simple, whilst most effective and safe. They are sim ply a sheepskin bag carefully secured, which is inflated by the use of the bellows. The bag is fitted with a double tube, the apex of which is taken into the mouth through one aperture, the pure air in the sheepskin bag is conveyed to the operator, and the impure air breatlied passes through the second tube, and thus reaches the bot tom of the sack, lifting the purer supply to the top and making it more available whilst this lasts everything is safe. This sheepskin bag is closely fitted to the back of the wearer, leaving him whoily unin cumbered, whilst his only other protec tion consists of a peculinrly constructed spectacle to protect the eye, whilst the nosiril is closed by one of the little clips such as are generally used for keeping papers together in ordinary business trans tacions. For all purposes which make a descent under water necessary, or in case of fire where smoke has to be combatted, the Appareils Respirateurs are invalua ble; they enable the wearer to set both elements at defiance, and render the ne cessary assistance required. It is stated thiat this apparatus is in use at every fire gtation inm Paris and the leading French towns. Its adoption here is but a matter of time, and every one who witnesses M. Galibert enciosed in a kind of sentry-box hermetically sealed, with a box of char coal alight emitting the most destructive effluvia, could not fail to see the value of the invention in cases of fire. We would strongly saggest that gentlemen of scien tific acquirements should witness the ex periments now taking place at the Poly technic, if they desire io he satisfied how effectively smoke; even in its densest qual ities and suffocating "conditions, can be mastered by the use of the Appareils Res pirateurs. The Duke of Sutherland, Mr. Hodges, and Captain Shaw, should Jose no time ia seeing this very important in vention and testing its applicability. ST-.CROLX AVILS. OF A BUDGET FOR THE ISLAND OF ST.
