A planter from one of the West India islands stated as his conviction, in reference to the dis trict round Lake Leon, that, provided he could get the same amount of labour, he could manufacture sugar at one-fourth its cost in the West Indies. At present it is sold in Nicara gua for three half- pence per pound. Leaving the lakes, and descending the San Juan, each bank of the river is covered with valuable wood, of* all sizes and descriptions, and the land is of prodigious fertility. With regard ...to the mining wealth of Nicaragua, Mr. Byam made some interesting ob servations, but the miserable state of the laws, and the spoli ations of the government, prevented him from carrying on the enterprises in connexion with it, to which he might otherwise have been tempted. The copper ores he met with were almost all uncombined with sulphur or any other sub stance that requires calcining to be got rid of, and they were consequently such as might be smelted in a common blast furnace, with the aid of equal quantities of iron-stone, which lies in abundance on the surface of all the hilly country.
