WEST INDIA TRADE

The following is an extract from a Bar
BADGES paper, of the 9th ut.--
/" The wharves exhibit now, the dulcst
scene which we ever remember to have OBJ
served at this period of the year. EXCEPT
from the few sugars shipping for England
it would appear as if trade and commerce
had entirely left us. The absence of the
American vessels, it must be confessed, has
made great difference in the appearance
Of things. The crop Of sugar this year will
fall miserably short; and, we apprehend,
that in several of the other islands, there
will be a great deficiency. In Antigua, we
have been informed, that not more than 60OO

We take the following wild and charoc.

SHUT THE DoOR Among tho greatest

who never closes door after him, whc.
ther in the bar room, the dining room. or
the parlor; and who seems to delight in
keeping hi, guests shivering over a mug
OF toddy, or their teeth chattering with
The cold, over knife and fork. This is
bad policy In tavern lord, for at the
same time that he is making his guests un-
comfortable, they nrc resolving in their
own minds never to call again.
IL is rather an idle project 10 think o.

the mercury is 10 degrees below zero
And now that winter is approaching, We
