EAST INDIA SHIPPING. FRIDAY EVENING.
It has often been remarked that, in the Spring, the Easterly wind is so generally prevalent on our Coast, as almost to assume the character of a Monsoon. Our experience during the present year certainly does not lead us to question the accu, racy of this remark. The wind has again gone round to its favourite quarter, and no arrivals from India have been reported since the beginning of the week.
