This is certainly a very high price for that commodity; a pound of river fiſh, at 1s. 6d. current money, is 10d. ſterling per pound, at eighty per cent, the preſent rate of exchange of money in that iſland; and hook and line fiſh, at 1s. is 6d. ſterling and a fraction per pound, at the ſame rate of exchange, a price which greatly exceeds that of the ſame commodity in England, where it is not to be had in ſuch great plenty as in Dominica, and by no means in ſo great perfection, eſpecially in the city of London.
The public goal in Roſeau has been erected ſince the reſtoration of the iſland to Great Britain, but it is not yet quite finiſhed. It is of fine ſtone, erected in a very healthy ſituation, on a large lot of land, and the building on a large ſcale, is commodious, and well adapted to the deſign.
