WEST INDIES.

The Trent, Captain Miller, Royal 'West India Mail Com-
pany's steamer, cast anchor at Southampton, on Sunday
morning, about half-past 10. She left Havana on the Ist
of August ; Nassau, 3d.; Bermuda, 10th ; Fay al, 20th.
The Trent had rather an unfavourable passage, contrary
winds prevailing, with the exception of one day, the whole
voyage. We regret to state that since she left Havana the
yellow fever has been raging on hoard, and that two of the
firemen and three common sailors fell victims to the disease.
The ship is, however, now clear.
The Trent brought all the West India mails, 100,000 dollars,
about 50 serons of indigo and cochineal, and nine passengers
only.

The Pilot, man-of-war brig, had arrived at Havana from
13elize; and the Victor left Havana for the Gulf of Mexico
at the same time as the Trent left.

The last accounts from Jamaica were that Lady Elgin was
fast recovering.

The Thames is the next steamer appointed to take out the
West India mails. She will arrive here from the London
river this day, and will sail on the Ist proximo.
The following summary of news to go by this vessel is from
the Guiana Times, of July 16th :
The weather has again become remarkably, and, for the
interests of Agriculture, dangerously wet. Invalids complain
of the closeness of the atmosphere, and the uncomfortable
dampness of every thing.
Business was never more stagnant. The distress prevalent
among the middle classes, extending to the artizans in town,
is almost intolerable. Nevertheless, as the greater number
of the plantations are supposed to show an increased crop,
as compared with last year, hopes are entertained of the
benefits to be derived from the market returns. Worse than
it now is, the condition of matters can hardly be.
As far as is possible in such a state of society, much
curiosity and interest have been excited by the election of a
financial representative. The address of the candidate who
has thought proper personally to canvass the constituency,
will be found in our number of last night.
Mr. Croal, it is said, goes to England by the present
Packet. He may leave behind him more moderate and
useful legislators, but he does not a more industrious, or
honest man, or one in whom the slight blemishes of temper
to which he is subject are counterbalanced more effectually
by perfect sincerity of purpose, and thorough absence o
revengeful feeling. We write of the gentleman as we have
experienced him to be, and this tribute from a political
opponent may not be without value.

WORSE. TITAN BIGAMY.—A man in North Carolina at
different times married thirteen wives, and a reward was
offered for his apprehension. A person anxious to bring the
monster to justice enticed him into his house, and persuaded
his wife to chat with him until he could procure a constable.
When he returned he found that the culprit had eloped with
the lady .—New York Paper.

ALARMING NEWS FROM THE COUNTRY.

AWFUL INSURRECTION AT STOKE POGIS-THE MILITARY

CALLED OUT-FLIGHT OF TRE MAYOR.

We are concerned to state, that accounts were received in
town, at a late hour last night, of an alarming state of things
at Stoke Pogis. Nothing private is yet made public ; but
report speaks of very serious occurrences. The number of
killed is not known, as no despatches have been received.
" Further particulars.
" Nothing is known yet ; papers have been received down
to the 4th of November, but they are not up to anything."
Then we have " Another account" —" From another
quarter"—" A later account"—" Fresh intelligence," &c.,
&c., &c, ; from which we take a few of the various particu-
lars :

" From another parter.
" We are all here in the greatest alarm ! a general rising
of the inhabitants took place this morning, and they have
continued in a disturbed state ever since. Everybody is in
a bustle, and indicating some popular movement. Seditious
cries are beard ! the bellman is going his rounds, and on
repeating God save the king !' is saluted with Hang the
crier!' Organised bands of boys are going about collecting
sticks, &c., —whether for barricades or bonfires, is not
known ; many of them singing the famous Gunpowder hymn,
Pray remember,' &c. These are features that remind us
of the most inflammable times. Several strangers of suspi-
cions gentility arrived here last night, and privately engaged
a barn; they are now busily distributing hand-bills amongst
the crowd :—sure some horribly tragedy is in preparation !

" Eleven o'clock.
" The mob have proceeded to outrage—the poor poor-
house has not a whole pane of glass in its whole frame! The
magistrates, with Mr. Higginbottom at their head, have
agreed to call out the military ; and he has sent word that
he will come as soon as he has put on his uniform. A ter-
rific column of little boys has just run down the High-street
—to see a fight at the Green Dragon. There is an immense
crowd in the Market-place. Some of the leading shop-
keepers have had a conference with the mayor, and the
people are now being informed, by a placard, of the result.
Gracious heaven ! how opposite is it to the hopes of all
moderate men—' The mare is hobstinate—he is at the Roes
and Crown—but refuses to treat."

" Half-past Three.
" The check sustained by the mob proves to have been a
reverse; the constables are the sufferers. The cage is
chopped to faggots, we hav'nt a pound, and the stocks are
rapidly falling. Mr. Wigsby has gone again to the mayor
with overtures ; the people demand the release of Dobbs and
Gubbins, and the demolition of the stocks, the pound, and
the cage. As these are already destroyed, and Gubbins and
Dobbs are at large, it is confidently hoped by all moderate
men, that his worship will accede to the terms."

" Four o'clock.
"The mayor has rejected the terms. It is confidently
affirmed that, after this decision, he secretly ordered a post-
chaise, and has set off walk a pair of post-horses as fast as
they can't gallop. A meeting of the principal tradesmen has
taken place, and the butcher, the baker, the grocer, the
cheesemonger, and the publican, have agreed to compose a
provisional government. In the mean time the mob are loud
in their joy—they are letting off squibs, and crackers, and
rockets, and devils, in all directions, and quiet is completely
restored."

Then comes, to crown the whole, " The Narrative."
The Narowtiv of a High Witness who seed every Think
proceed out of a Back-winder *up Four Pears to Mrs.
Humphris.

"Oh Mrs. Humphris ! Littel did I Dram, at my Tim of
Life, to see Vat is before me. The hole Parrish is Throne

dence. Three unsensible boddis arc Carrion over the way

The mortality from cholera, diarrhoea, and dysentery in
London, for the three weeks ending August 6, amounted to
109 deaths ; for the previous three weeks, ending July 16,
40; making an increase of 69 deaths in the course of the
last three weeks—a consequence of the rash indulgence re-
sulting from the plenty and cheapness of fruit. Children
and aged persons have been the greatest sufferers.

ITALIAN Boys IN ENGLAND.—A number of Italian
gentlemen in this country have formed themselves into a
committee for the purpose of erecting a school, and giving
gratuitous education to the poor wandering minstrel mendi-
cants who are to be seen so constantly exhibiting themselves
in our highways. The preliminary steps were commenced
in the month of November last, and there are above 200
children receiving the benefits of thin beneficial and excel-
lent plan.

At a Meeting of the South Wilts and Warminster Farmers'
Club, on Friday week, among the labourers who obtained
prizes for good conduct, was an old man, who had arrived at
the age of fourscore and two, and who had lived in the
service of the chairman (Harry Biggs, Esq.) and his father
for the long term of sixty years. In presenting the certifi-
cate to this aged servant, it was evident that the Chairman
struggled hard to repress his feelings ; the poor old man,
too, appeared overpowered—and the company sympathized
with both. At length the Chairman feebly said, " James
Sturges, you have been a faithful servant to me, and my
father before me. I believe you have never lived in any
other service. Take this as a slight testimony of your good
conduct." Where, but in England, are Societies of gentle-
men assembling for such a purpose, or such candidates for
their honourF, ?

Tun QUEEN'S 'VISIT TO EDINBURGII.—The commi Wee
of town-council appointed to make all the necessary arrange-
ments with reference to this at present all-engrossing occasion,
have not yet done anything definite, having to waite for
official and authoritative intimation of Her Majesty's inten-
tions from London. If Her Majesty land at Granton, as we
understand will probably be the case, although our Leith
friend:; are strenuous for the landing being effected at their
pier—and if Her Majesty proceed to Dalkeith-house, not by
a private road, but through the town—the Lord Provost and
magistrates will, it is intended, present her with the keys of
the city at the Parliamentary boundary nearest Granton,
which, we believe, is Pitt-street, where a temporary barrier,
with a gate in the centre, will be erected. If, however, Her
Majesty prefer going privately to Dalkeith-house on the day
of landing, as from the fatigue and probably sea-sickness at-
tendant upon the voyage may perhaps be the case, the keys
will not be presented till the day on which Her Majesty
drives through the town, when the boundary selected will, it
is said, be that at the University end of the South bridge.
The Earl of Aberdeen or Sir James Graham is to be in town
this week to convey Her Majesty's wishes and instructions to
the authorities here.—Edinburgh Witness.
On Saturday, at the Insolvent Debtors' Court, Lord
George Loftus (son of the Marquis of Ely) tiled his schedule,
previous to obtaining a hearing for December ex In his
affidavit he stated that his father refused topnayhtis debts.
His Lordship has been in the Fleet Prison since February
last, and has had an allowance during that time of X 6 per
week from his father, the same allowance whicho has been
paid him a great many years. The debts,i
are set forth, at 15,2341., of which 9,1511. arne witehagugregate,
consi-
deration. In the year 1838, the Marquis of Ely naitdebt
for the insolvent to the extent of 3,0001. The pinsolvent
stated that many of Isis debts arose from having become
party to various bills of exchange for Captain the Hon. F.
W. Byng, for which he never received any consideration,
and on three of which lie was in custody. The insolvent
was formerly an ensign in the Grenadier Guards, which
commission he sold some time ago. Amongst the items in
the schedule, two are extracted, as extending from 18,36 to th
present year :—" Paid for admission to places of amusement,
libraries, &c., 1,2001." ,‘ Lost by play and betting during
this time, but of which I can give no particular account,
about 10,0001." There does not appear in the schedule
any property for the creditors, who are princ "ipally composed
of persona who figure in " hill trtweactions.
