FOREIGN AND COLONIAL.

THE WEST INDIES,

The Severn, with the West India mail, arrived, at
Southampton on Thursday morning, with dates from Ja-
maica, Oct. 23. We regret to learn that the English
vessel, Eliza, of Liverpool, Captain Smell, was wrecked
on the 21st October on the Bahama Bank. No lives, we
believe were lost. Sixteen of the crew were brought home
in the Severn.
The intelligence received from the various islands is
much of the watt: character. Fever was prevalent among
the troops, both at Havannah and at Barbadoes. Trade
was very bad in Jamaica; several estates had changed
bands, or had' been entirely abandoned. Sugar had
fallen considerably. The weather had been healthy
within the towns, but it was unusually hot for the season.
The House of Assembly was summoned for the despatch
of busirress on the 26th of October, the date of the
advices being the 24th, and then it was expected some
angry debates would ensue.

CAPE OF 0

OOD HOPE

Another arrival from the Cape of Good Hope puts us in
possession of papers from that colony to the 28th Septem-
ber. The pacification of the Boers was completed, and
the intercourse between them and the British Govern-
ment resumed. These facts were duly announced in a
proclamati 3n, signed by Sir H. Smith, which bore the
date of the 21st of September. Sir Harry had offered re-
wards, varying from £lOOO downwards, for the capture of
Pretorius, and the other leaders in the rebellion of Bloem
Fonteim. Sir Harry deemed it prudent to leave a large
force of military in occupation at and around Bloem Fon-
teim, which territory Sir Harry had proclaimed and an-
nexed to the British settlements in her Majesty's name.

THE POPE.—The popularity of Pope Pius IX. is sadly
on the wane, if, indeed, it be not already lost. The so-
lemn procession of his holiness to San Carlos on a recent
occasion is described as resembling the movement of a
funeral. The streets were deserted, and the Pontiff was
only welcomed by the cries of a few noisy urchins attracted
by curiosity to the spot.
A new description of robbery, called chinage, and con-

Place du Chatelet by a woman pretending to be the wife

ticket of a gold watch, represented to be pledged for 60f.
He gave 60f. for the ticket, but, on going to take the
watch out of pawn, found that it had been pledged for 30f.,
and that its value did not exceed 35f.
