We have received Trinidad rapers to the 29th of
:gin/ember. They bring no news of gederal interest.—
We do not know that the following tribute to the me-
mory of Mr. Canning, from 44 Colibri, a Cairaccas
paper, has been published in this pointy :

manifested to his stmounding friends the joy he felt in

The melancholy duty this Week'to
add ariother• victim to the lilt of
.tote who have lately
fallen to the effects of feier, in the person of our much-
metaled Chief Magistrate, his Honour William Bun-
nell, President Commanding in Chief, who departed
this life, after a week's illness, at: his sear, Sans Sone'.
on Monday-evening last.
Mr. Brasnell's long residence in the colony—his in;
tegrity and uprightniss in his transactions—his mild,
engaging, and gentlemanly manners, had procured for .
him the esteem and coaddence of all the inhabitants.—
As senior Member,of his' Majesty's Cbunsil, on the de-
parture of Sir Frederick Robinson, he ',assumed the,
twins of this. Government; and though, in the Course
of his achilinistration, he hat had the, most perplex-
ing and embarrassing difficulties to contend with,
yet his moderation and eonciFating disposition had re-
conciled all parties. His remains, were borne to the
tomb by the heads of departmetta, civil and military,
attended by the Leeward division of Militib, adcf.a
numerous assemblage of persons of all rank', Vic, were
anxious to testify, by this mournful tribute,theur respect
for our departed chief. From the day (Tuedith.olol
13th instant) on which his Honour was taken ill,"11rIt
litasnell never quitted his hed.side, and, regardl2o' of
herself, was most unremitting and assiduous.

We are informed that instructions had been trans-
mitted from Government, to his Excellency the Gravornor
of St. Vincent's, antbqrising him to dispo?e of the Crown
lands in that crilony ; the proceeds'ef Whiefi 'are .td be
placed at the :disprisilaf the tont' firs hop for the pur-
pose of aiding in the erection of churches. It-is added,
that his Excellency had called uaton'the House of .Ass
sembly to appropriate a pail of thepobliofunds to play
the assistant Justices, and particularly colnplained of the
aifficulties which he had experienced in obtaining proper
persons to accept the office.
. ANTIGUA, N 6,. 23.
*- At the meeting of the House of Legislature yesterday,
the Militia Bill, which was committed at the.previous
;erecting, was passed and published, hawing undergone
very little alteration. We are glad to find jhatt,ione
excellent clause (proposed, n e believe, by Mr. Edwards)
has been added; imposing a penalty' on:persOns'dis-
chargingnsuskets after parade, either on the:stutter-
ground or along the rods in their way home.
A memorial was read, and adopted, to the Commons
House of Parliament,
:relative to the extreme pressure
on the Agricultural Interest, occasioned by the heavy
sugar ditties.
Nothing was done with respect to Mr. Dwattis' s rt.
port ; and we believe none of those Gentlemen•who at
' first entered 4o spirited); into the business opened their
lips on the subject. -
Nov. 30.—An inqUierwas held at English Hittbour
On Friday last, before N. b. Donaldson, Etq. Coroner,
on the-body of the late Mr. R. M.Hugo, when a verdict
of. Wilful Murder. was returned against Samuel Hunt, a
block utiv, :lunched to the police, who was immediately
eprnatitted to gaol. It apsiare4 in evidence before
the'Cordner, that Mr. Millar died in .consequeact of
a blow upon the head from a stone, inflicted by Hunt,
on Saturday night, the 10th inst. Various reports are
in circulaLion relative to this brutal outrage which
seems to be attended with circumstances of extraor-
dinary mystery.
This island experienced.. verrsesrere shock of earth-
quake at,about a quarter before three o'clock this morn-
ing. The shock, which was
.not accompanied by the
' loud rumbling noise generally attendant on these occa-
sions, was of unusual duration, the vibradous of the
earth continuitsgb for nearly a minute. It is probable
that we shall shortly hear of tome dreadful convulsion
of ;attire in those parts of the continent Which ate most
subject to web rful visitations.
