The Diario of the 1st publishes a review of the exportations of the island during the past year; they appear from the following table to be considerably below the exportations of 1844. The defalcation in the export of sugar is attributed to the hurricanes which have swept over the island and laid desolate many plantations; while many of the planters, it , is stated, are giving up the cultivation of coffee, complaining that the price it realizes does not remunerate them, owing to the great competition in Rio.
