Parish oe St. Mary— The Cane.—The
wretched state of the weather and bad roads
have greatly retarded the labors of the su-
gar planters. A few days ago the cane
was perfectly green in the immediate vicin-,
ity of Berwick’s Bay, and the planters in
that neighborhood will not probably finish
grinding for several days to come. A num-
ber of planters in this, as well as in St. Mar-
tin parish, arc still employed in taking off
their crops.
Plantation Sale.—The plantation belong-

ON the 27'h day of September, 1858, the J

fused any sort of concurrence, and notified
the Emperor, that in obedience to the laws
of Japan, the time had come for him to com-

ler then stabed himself in the bowels, receiv-

At his New Year’s soiree, Napoleon made

in a very unsettled state, everything has
assumed a warlike appearance. Spain de-
clares that she will never sell Cuba, and
considers the President’s Message, on that
point insulting. A formidable conspiracy those who pronounced wind with a short i,

again been defeated in India, and an <
peace was considered probable. In the
House, the Cuba question has again come
up, and Mr. Keitt, in an eloquent speech,
favored its acquisition, even at the expense
of a war with Spain. Mr. Cox strongly ad-
vocated the same view of the question, and
of the subordinate rulers, upon being regretted -that the United States did not re-
tain Mexico after we had conquered it. Mr.

instigator of the threatened intervention on

Paul Morphy Prophesies his own Success.
—It has already been ann-junCed that out
of eleven games between Morphy and An-
dersen, the former had won seven, the lat-
ter two, while two were drawn. That the
young American champion rightly esti-
mates his own powers, and was confident
of his own success, is shown by a letter to
a friend in New York, in which he describes
his then unfinished match with Anderssen,
whom he rates much higher than Harrwitz.
He says that he has arisen from a sick bed
(having been attacked with inflamation of outer coating of the stalk is of
the bowels) to meet Anderssen, and that he
expects to beat him by seven to three.
