WEST INDIA MAIL.

•-- - - _
By the arrival of Her Majesty's packet Seagull, with a mail
from the West Indies, papers have been received at the North
and South American Coffee House, from Trinadad of the 18th,
Demerara 19th, Barbadoes, 22d, and Jamaica, the 27th January.
The Jamaica papers do not contain any particular news.
The House of Assembly had been prorogued by his Excellency
the Governor, and the Stamp Act is lost.
The Jamaica papers of the 27th January contains the ful-
lowirg :—Her Majesty's brigantine Charybdis has just arrived
here from Carthagena, which place she left on the 18th of
January. Peace bad been proclaimed, and all British subjects
who had been detained as prisoners set at liberty. The Fede-
ralists evacuated the Lapopa on the 15th January, after burning
all they could, and have returned, as suppo cd, back to Baran-
quilla. Carthagena was in a state of quo tness.
DE3IERA RA, JAN. 22.—We are happy to announce the re-
turn of the labourers to work (at wages which the planting
body can afford) on various plantations, and we need hardly
suggest, that as other labourers have the good sense to come
into the reduced rate which must prevail ovt r the whole co-
lony, it is no vain-glorious victory over the peasantry that we
shall have accomplished, but the means of barely preserving
our own existence, and as such should the change he mode-
rately viewed.

Hum. AND SELBY RAILWAY.—By the Report of
this Company, a meeting of which was held at York last week,
d from the account of passengers who have travelled
bvit aPitidewe
during the six months from the Ist of July to the 31st of
December last., that there had been an increase of 35,786
during that time, over the first six months of 1841, and that no
less than 212,000 passengers had been conveyed by the railway
during the past year. • The clear balance in the hands cf the
Company was 6,2361. 16f., bd., and a dividend of 15s. was ordered
to be paid on the 11th of April next.

thirst after fame, the a'pirings of ambition, the desire for
riches, or the dread of poverty.
