FOREIGN 4. COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE. I

WEST INDIES

The Royal West India mail packet Tweed arrived at
Southampton on Tuesday having left St. Thomas on the
Ist instant. . . - . .

-The files of West India journals give very few interest-
ing facts. However, it would appear that better health is
prevailing in all the colonies, and that little or no sickness
has been experienced in the leading islands. The weather,
in an agricultural point of view, was certainly more fa-
vourable ; and though in isolated cases it is stated (as in
reference to St. Mary's parish, Jamaica,) that the drought
was still severely felt, there is every reason to believe that,
generally speaking, the late rains have proved amply suf-
ficient for invigorating the plantations. An estimate of
the loss of property by the fire in Kingston is published
in the Jamaica Times, and the amount is represented at
£93,925. About 350 houses were either totally burnt or
partially destroyed. The House of Assembly was on the
eve of opening, but nothing appeared to be known of the
topics which it was likely the Governor's speech would
embrace. Before the next mail leaves for England, the
House will have been in debate a fortnight, so that then
we shall be enabled to gather something of the prospects
of the Jamaica Parliament.
At Barbados and Trinidad political and commercial
affairs are discussed in a peaceable manner. The appear-
ance of the crops in both islands, under the beneficial
influence of the change in the weather, is spoken of as
highly encouraging. At Trinidad complaints are made of
taxes under the new road ordinance pressing with double
severity on the cocoa planter, as compared with the sugar
planter.
The summary of the Demerara news is, that the arrivals
had not of late been numerous ; all the vessels from
Europe have had long passages, while there were many
then overdue. The markets were, however, abundantly
supplied for present demand with all articles of provisions,
except Carolina rice. Exports were abundant, with few
speculators in the market. Exchange had slightly ad-
vanced, private bills selling at 465 dol. to 467 dol.
On the general prospects of the colony the Guiana
Herald has the following : .

" By the mail immediately preceding the present one,
private advices to ourselves and others in this community
were received, stating that considerable reaction had taken
place in England in favour of the West Indies, and that
the satisfactory state of the money market in Great Bri-
tain would operate favourably towards us. It was also
communicated, that Lord Stanley, distinctly refusing
consent to Coolie immigration, had, at the same time,
expressed his intention to favour the emigration of Chi-
nese labourers to the West Indies from our ports in the
East, under indentures of five years. A confirmation of
these very cheering tidings is now anxiously looked for.
It was scarcely expected by the present mail, as it was
known that Lord Stanley was the only minister remaining
in London, but is somewhat confidently expected by our
next advices from Great Britain."

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, Nov. 24

The Wheat trade has been slow to.day, but the holders are
firm in demanding last week's prices. Barley is very dull, and
rather lower rates were submitted to upon the few sales made.
Oats are very scarce ; the supply of Shelling is also small, and
both articles fully support their value. In Beans no material
alteration.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 25

The trade has remained steady during the week, and a mode-
rate business has been done in all articles, at fully the rates of
our last.

Supplies from Ireland are liberal, especially of Oatmeal and
Flour • from other quarters they are to a moderate extent.
Yesterday's Liverpool and Wakefield markets Were firm, but
without any quotable improvement in prices.
At our Corn Exchange this morning, Wheat meets a moderate
sale, at the rates of our last.
In Flour there is no particular alteration to notice : the want
of demand for good Yorkshire and east country secondary
qualities, which we noticed last week, still continues but they
are held pretty firmly, at 3gs to 41s per sack, as in quality.

...
Oats and Oatmeal meet a fair sale, and in some instances a
small advance is realised; not, however, so generally as to
allow of alteration in our quotations. ... . . . .

COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT.

At the beginning of the week, the demand for Cotton, which
was confined to the trade, was limited; and the market heavy
since Monday, considerable purchases have been made on spe
ciliation, :Ind the market has closed very firmly at the full quo
tations of last week, particularly for the middle classes of Amer
ican. The holders of Surat having accepted rather lowe
prices, an extensive business has been done in this description
Brazil and Egyptian have been less inquired for, and are heavy
at last week's rates. 9200 American and 1800 Surat have been
taken on speculation.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We cannot find room for the letter of " Castigator" to-day.
A correspondent states that all insurance companies are
formed under the regulations of acts of parliament, by
which the responsibility of the shareholders (unlike that of
joint stock banks) is limited to the amount of shares sub-
scribed for by each individual—hence the names of an
insurance directory are no criterion of its solvency or
responsibility.

the doctrine, of the Metall church as expressed to her
acknowledged formularies of creeds and articles on the score
of an interpretation which, because held " übique et ab om-
nibus," has been supposed to enjoy a dignity or sovereign
obligation under the title of ' Catholic,' whereby modern
Christians are required to steer their own minds amidst the
contradictions and ambiguities of patristic dogmatia, and su-
perstitious adulterations of the pure milk of the word'—that
such course of dangerous dependence and self-shackled
thought is carrying oat the only good of tradition into a cor-
responding evil, must be the real conviction of not only low
churchmen, as they are called, but of high churchmen too,
who wisely steering between the extremes of reckless Secta-
rian disregard of on the one hand, and of too obsequious a
surrender on the other, to the le,;itimate force of tradition—
preserve the alone consistent, enlightened, and golden me-
' dium throughout their religious views.

To such, both ' high and low,' as a pleasing mode of de-
veloping the absurd, a shorter way of dealing with points, the
trivial nature of which does not admit of elaborate discus-
sion or argumentation, except by those whose time might
certainly possibly be worse taken up, the above will be grate-
ful—the arrow of wit winged with satire affords the combina-
tion of instruction with amusement, whilst the powers of re-
flection, comparison, memory and ideality are brought into
full and rapid exercise ; hence satire itself is not without its
beneficial influence on the evolving mental faculties of the
young student. The burlesque is not of a low order of mental
effort, though often an effort of the low, to spice up this flat
and muddy wit; it is really a first class talent when well and
elegantly done. Albeit, many, like the ass in the fable, may
copy with iron hoof the greater grace of the careesful lap-
dog. Whether sound theology or decrepit leanings of a
bead and heart prove to idolatry of the golden remote, rather
than respectful reverence of the early Christian witnesses, in
our own land and elsewhere, are caricatured ; whether the
touches are skilful or stupid—refined or coarse—we mean to
invite the reader to judge for himself, having, after all we
have said as to the former, in many points anticipated our
conclusion; and as a mode of dealing with a subject, the
latter resolves itself into a matter of taste, and " de gustibus
non disputandum eat." We don't remark any unfairness in
the caricature itself beyond what is its licensed province.
We select the few following lines—supposed written by a
young Puseyite clergyman, just inducted into a new sphere
and an old church, wherein the grievous puritan dilapida-
tions he thus laments in an apostolical epistle to a brother
clergyman :

The largely increased and most respectable circulation
which the Tuesday's Edition of the LIVERPOOL.
STANDARD has now obtained amongst the mercantile
body in Manchester affords its proprietors the gratify-
ing power of urging this, amongst the other undeniable
claims which it possesses, upon the favor of that portion
of the mercantile community of Liverpool who desire to
bring their advertisements before the notice of buyers in
the neighbouring manufacturing districts. In most of
the surrounding towns of Lancashire the circulation of
the STANDARD is steadily increasing. In Manchester,
however, the centre of the manufacturing district, our
publication of Tuesday—occurring upon the most im-
portant market day of the Cotton Trade, when its
Exchange and Hotels are thronged with country manu-
facturers, spinners, and calico printers—is firmly es-
tablished in circulation, and is perused with increased
and increasing interest.

Under these encouraging circumstances, we trust to
receive an increased measure of support from the mer-
chants and brokers of the town generally ; and it affords
us great pleasure to assure those of our friends amongst
those classes, who have hitherto bestowed their adver-
tising favours liberally upon us, of our increased ability
to do justice to the interests committed to their care.

EPITAPH ON " MUNGO'

'-A FAVOURITE DOG

For the Liverpool Standard,

Tread softly, stranger ; o'er the spot you roam,
Where faithful Mungo finds his final home ;
Nor, pray, refuse your pity, when you know
No farn'd, lamented, biped sleeps below ;
'Tis but a dog, yet many men, ween,
With fewer brains, as well as legs, are seen.
Alas! One evil press'd on Mungo's head—
He was compelled to be—a quadruped!
On two legs had he stood instead of four,
The world had call'd him wise, if nothing more.
The genius of his more than doggish mind
Despised the common actions of his kind ;
And though, to these, his skill would oft descend,
To serve his master, or to please a friend,
Still, Mungo's talents might have gan'd a name,
That dog ne'er won, upon the scroll of fame!
Language he had not, yet, how well he read
Each look, each act, each syllable you said ;
His speaking eye beam'd with superior sense,
And e'en his tail's mute wag was eloquence I
So wise a dog he was, so high did he
Soar o'er his canine tribe and pedigree,
That if the truth Pythag'ras wrote and said,
Some sage's soul, sure, dwelt on Mungo's head!
How well his merits prompt the mournful,strain—
" We ne'er shall look upon his like again! '
But he, like " ev'ry dog," has bad " his day"—
As Avon's bard did somewhat harshly say—
For now, though bones he oft would cleanly trim,
Death, hungry "edax rerum," feasts on him.
And yet, he was indeed an envied lot—
Mungo " I'd be, if I—mself were not ;"
Sixteen long years cornpoys'd his happy life—
Ne'er tasted dog less care, or toil, or strife—
Nurs'd in the lap of luxury he grew ;
No want, save absence of all want, he knew ;
And when time crown'd him with a hoary crown,
And he, at length, his down-y life laid down,
What praise more eloquent could he require—
What nobler epitaph could he desire,
Than that his lady gave—her tear and sigh!
To purchase such a boon, bow cheap to—die j.Vii. L

A Narrative of the late Earthquake in the West Indies.
By an Eye-Witness. Tegg, London Lace and Addison,

Liverpool,

The calamitous earthquake which lately devastated the
West India Islands has attracted the attention of the whole
world, and the utmost commiseration has been felt for the
sufferers. The pamphlet now under notice details most ably
the various disasters, the fearful desolation, that resulted
from the terrific convulsion. Those who wish to have the
full particulars of the event need only become possessed of
this work for the fullest information. The
following extracts
will be read with interest. The morning of the earthquake

" When all this is arranged, I shall stand in great need
For some lights for my altar : it grieves me indeed
To find that there is not a candlestick here,
Not a vestige of one; and to me it is clear
That Cromwell's vile men knocked them all on the head
When they sought to establish their new lights instead :
Now it is my intention to set up thirteen,—
That's enough for the candlestick ; next comes the screen,
For which 1 must order some plaster and paints,
As I'm anxious anew to bedizen my saints ;
There is one wants a head, another a nose,—
St. Chad has no fingers, St. Crispin no toes ;
The stigmata gone from St. Francis's hands ;
Without arrows or wounds St. Sebastian stands ;
Poor St. lirsula's there, but she hasn't a rag on ;
Of a hook most obscure St. Augustine's the bearer,
And St. Gregory needs a new papal tiara.
The sight of the windows would make you quite sad;
I must have some stained glass if it is to be had.
The king's arms once shone there but have now no supporters;
The Puritans broke them and gave them no quarter :
In the shields you can't separate azure from or,
Every coat is abated by gusset and gore.
What reformers began the churchwardens have finished,
All the figures misplaced, and their glories diminished;
For (would you believe it ?) these odious old tussles
Have twisted and turned them like so many puzzles;
They've murdered St. Denis, they've set on his head,
'Tis not borne on his bands, but his shoulders instead!
Among other queer changes what think you I've pounced on ?
The Devil is taking the nose of St. Dunstan!
There are angels sans wings, and the beeves are flying,
Tne martyrs are slaying, the torturers dying ;
And unluckily St. Cuthbert they cleverly chew there,
With his head in one window, his trunk in another;
And with horrors no tyrant could dare to invent, I
Saw, " Repaired in the year 1720"
Stuck in bright yellow glass through the midst of St. James !
These miscreants should all be condemned to the flames.
The surplice is covered with stains old and recent,
And I'm sure that it looks neither " comely" nor" decent."
A new one of lawn shall be made at my charge,
The skirts shall be full, and the sleeves shall be large :
This at least I will have. I may shortly, I hope,
Bear a cross on my scarf, and most surely a cope."
