It is, we believe, finally settled (says the /impe-
rial Review) that Warwick is to be tnuisferred from the
Midland to the Oxford Circuit ; and that either Shrews-
bury or Monmouth will be detached from the latter and
annexed to the jurisdiction of the United Circuits of North
and South Wales. A new arrangement of these is also,
we are informed, in contemplation.
TUN SANDWICH ISLANDS. —These islands are 13
in number, 7 of them are inhabited. The area of the
islands is 6,200 square miles. The productions are
wheat, coffee, sugar, cotton, tobacco', arrowroot, sweet
potatoes, breed-fruit, and cattle and hese, which ere
I raised in large quintities. The exports amount to
200,0001. a year, and the imports to about the mine
amount. The government is a limited monarchy. Schools
and courts have been introduced. The dregs of the people
is in the American style and the English lineage is chiefly,
i
spoken. The climate s equable sad healthy, the mesa
temperature is 75 degrees ; food is abundant sad cheap,
sad epidemic.' are unfrequent. In 1823 the population
was 124000 ; 30 years afterwards it wee 73,230 ; and dimi.
maim is still going on. The decrease is attributed to the
vices of the people, not mainly of the ereeeut population,
but of their sweeten frost time inaetwestial.
