We are obliged to postpone the insertion of several Correspondents' communications.

It having been suggested to us by high authority, that it would be most prudent not to state any thing concerning the late Bush Expeditions until the effect of the whole plan was ascertained; in obedience to such hint, and in compliance with our own wishes not to throw the least impediment in the way of any operation conducive to the interests and tranquillity of the Colony and its inhabitants, we refrained from laying before our readers, in our last two or three papers, many particulars which had come to our knowledge. Finding, however, that these considerations have not had the same weight in regard to others (some mention thereof having been made in another paper), in order that our subscribers may not imagine the omission on our part proceeds from neglect, we think proper to state that 29 of these deluded wretches were brought in the week before last by the messengers of grace who had been dispatched for that purpose, and that 25 more were escorted in by the same ambassadors on Thursday. The insertion of particulars must, however, be excused till the proper time for publication, when we hope to receive full and authentic documents for that purpose.

It gives us pleasure to state, that the James mail boat is at length got off. Her main mast was obliged to be taken out, to lighten her. She arrived in the River on Tuesday.

The race which was to have taken place last Tuesday, is postponed sine die, we believe, at the desire of the former loser.

A foot-race for a dozen of porter was run on Friday evening by two Gentlemen from the great bridge to Vlissingen sluice. The winner, who had 15 yards given him, came in so fresh, and in such excellent order, that he declared he took the sluice to be the Fiscal's house.

The Hon. the Fiscal, accompanied by the Hon. Thos. Cumings and the Hon. H. W. Knolman, Members of the Hon. Court of Policy, made a survey of the Colony Barracks on Friday, preparatory to some necessary repairs and improvements which we understand are about to take place.

The young man [Marcou - see 18061122EDG], concerning whom so much interest was last week excited, was put on board a vessel bound for St. Thomas's on Saturday.

His Excellency the General and Governor left this Colony for Berbice on Thursday last.

The Hon. Col. Nicholson is expected here next week.

TO THE EDITOR. [heading]
Sir,
Nothing is more talked of by a certain class of Planters in this Colony than Plantership, and I really believe, nothing is less understood. By way of elucidating this opinion, I will just mention, that, passing by a fine Coffee Estate the other day, situated up the River, the front lands of which were undergoing the operation of hoeploughing, preparatory to the cultivation of Sugar, a Gentleman in company remarked, that by so doing, the rich part of the land would evaporate. Now, Sir, I beg leave to give it as my opinion, that hoeploughing is attended with great advantage (particularly on the stiff lands on the banks of this River), as the earth is thereby loosened, and of course will enjoy in a superior degree the fertilizing influence of the air, the sun, and the dew. So far from evaporating, all the soluble nutritious particles of the earth are constantly carried downwards by the air, and the earth which is most impregnated with these particles, is, by digging or ploughing, brought up to the surface. Besides, as the weeds are buried to rot, the soil will get back again the nourishment taken from it, end in this porous state, it is impregnated with the most efficacious and subtle elementary materials of nature.
If you think this hint likely to prove of any utility, it is very much at your service, and I have the pleasure to remain, &c. &c. &c.
A Subscriber.

Sixteen Stuivers per Pound, Cash, will be given for the first Two Hundred Bales of good clean Cotton, offered for Sale at the Store of C. D. Forrester.

A Plain Gold Hunting Watch was taken away, since last Thursday, from a Table in the Chamber where the Subscriber was lying on a bed of sickness. There being no reason to suspect any particular person or persons to have taken it, Gold and Silversmith, and all other persons, are requested to arrest it, should it be offered for sale. A Key of mother of pearl and a [illegible] Seal for wafers, hang to it by a black silk cord.
