Accounts from Jamaica to the Bth Oct. had been
receive) at New York. Several shocks of earth-
quake had been felt in various parts of the island.
In Spanish-town the scarlet fever was raging, and it is
stated, in one of the papers, that out of a population of
about 7,000, there have been not less than 1,500 cases of

The Robert Finnie, which arrived at Liverpool on

A Hanover paper of the 20th November, says:—" On
the 16th the Countess Von Platin Hallermund (a
Baroness of Munster) died here in the 85th year of her
active life. The deceased, who was endowed with the
rarest gifts of the mind and heart, is deeply regretted by
her children, and a very numerous family. Her death
is most sincerely and generally deplored, and the memory
of a life devoted for almost seventy years to the happi-
ness of her fellow-creatures and works of charity will
long survive."
A letter from Cologne, of the 15th of November, has
the following .—" We hear that his Majesty the King
of Prussia has given the province a new proof of his fa-
vour, by granting, for the year, the sum of 50,000 dol-
lars for the:completion of the cathedral, and 30,000 dollars
for every succeeding year, besides a sum for removing
the small houses standing before the cathedral."
In a letter from Warsaw of the 19th of November, it
is stated " that Bank assignats to the amount of
10,500,000 florins, and first and second series of the
Treasury bonds, with the coupons belonging to them, to
the amount of 4,688,625 florins' which have been with-
drawn from circulation, are to be burnt on the 22d."

other complete, it should especially address itself to the
Duke of Hamilton, for example. But if his triple Grace
of Hamilton, Brandon, and Chatel-Herault should I
choose, in such a case, to relieve himself from aPPli-
cations which were not welcome to him,' (we use the:
words of the Gybe), we protest that we should not feel
ourselves warranted, for a single moment, in comp
ing of any brusquerie in such an answer from that Noble-
man as the Duke of Wellington gave to this Deputation.
—Considering the immense annual revenue that the
Duke draws, and has drawn for years, from the country,
we think it might reasonably have been expected of his
Grace, that he would have contributed to relieve e
sufferings of his distressed fellow-countrymen. the
question is not one of principle, but of charity.
On the subject of Sunday railway travelling,
Chronicle makes the following remarks We hoe
copied from the Glasgow Argus a spirited articlo on the
tyrannical attempt of the General Assembly of the
Church of Scotland to prevent all railway travelling on
the
Sunday. In the case of Edinburgh and Glascrow,
prohibiting railway trains from running on abStlO45Y
would really be passing a non-intercourse act betwe
these cities for twenty-four hours ; for the railway win

with the Scotch in their ecclesiastical matters, for if ;4l

people require prompting from this side of the TweenL°„o„ll
