the 'remainder.

The ISaiiers of li'ecinesday )ast, which

- -
were dile mbrning, have riot com'e to basid.

Tliis
morning we received 'some more New
York l'apers, but iicit of A. later date than th 0..“.:

received before :

" S:r. STEvess(N...l37), .toN
rnOrrtiok, about a .coiiit'ei"pa-st 'three, we had a se-

ere Shock of an earthquake, its direction wa.o
from, ton.E. at which tittle the earth' was
iu tricition one initilde and a hall; topS
houses were thrown dot: it, odic's very 'ouch
cracked, doors unlocked, chairs and tables set in
motion; and the veisers in the.th'ei• shook like
leaf."

We deem it necessary to state, that the article
in our Paper of -yesterday, relative to Trinidad,
was not written by the -Editor, but by an old
Correspondent, who, upon inquiry, we understand
was misinformed in many particulars, and more
especially in hit allusion to several roost respect-
able persons in this great Cothmerciar City.

Considering THE SUN as one of the Cax-iINELI
Of our glorious Establishment in Church and:,
State, we feel ourselves bound to be alert upoil:
our Pbst, though we are much averse to -all,
controversy with other Journals, unless upon-
poiuti Of essential importance to the vital in
tereits of the. Empire. We shall, therefore, be;
constantly-upon the watch to guard those interests,_
and of course must direct our daily attention to -the
Morning Chronicle. It is perfectly Indict-offs to see-
that Paper begin its chief domestic article this'
day in the following Manner :--" The late eon;
test between the British People and their Rulers,'
which has terminated so unfortunately for the
liberties of the Country, has been obscived.
great attention and a deep feeling of interest in
other countries, and particularly in Germany."
It then proceeds to insert an extract from What
describes as `` a respectable Journal of the North .
of Germany :" so that in the opinion of the Chro•;•
nicle, the sentiments of an obscure.Germatt Paper
are to be considered as a general test of the'

" deep interest" taker► by ether count:les
in the welfare of the•. . Empire, and..
the liberties of the People. Now, for our patt,
we believe that this alleged -extract from
foreign Journal is an at ticle of tlonieStic manufac.i..
It'hy eke is there no name or date to this'
"respectable Joni-nal of the North of Germany ?
But granting tl►:it the Extract was really tailed
from a Foreign Journal, what reason is theicTto
believe, that jt must be so much alive to :he inte-
rests of the British People ?—Foreign Writers are.-
hostile to our manufactdres, and we can hardly be
induced to think that they are more anxious for
our ficcdom. Bat who are the " British People'.•
which the Chronicle states to have had " a con-
test with their Rulers i"—Not the wise, loya4
and intelligent mass of the People, who are'

degenerate Englishmen who can see SEDITt(i4

We pity such

ticians, who must he hard driven indeed t hen they
pretend to take the opirricins of Foreign Jour-

we turn from The Chronicle to dle l'uo-rEsTANT.
