fhc st. Louis papers, received since our last,
confirm the report Of the death of Col. Joseph NJ.
White, (of FIorda,) which took place on the 18th
instant, at the house Of his brother, DR.. J. r..
White.
Thus has departed from among us, in the
midst of life Of honorable activity and enter
prise, citizen advanta3 eousy known, both at
home and abroad, as al accomplished gentleman,
an intelligent legislator, profound lawyer, and
an able orator. who seemed to have before him
the prospect OF a prolonged life Of usefulness and
profitable exertion OF his natural and acquired
abilities It's but few weeks since he was with
Us, in high health and spirits, lislc dreaming how
near the end Of his earthly career. The
death Of such man, suddenly cut Off in the pride
and prime Of life, is calculated TO make serious
impression on the minds of all who knew him.

which the city Of Ava was visited on The 23d Of

from which deuges Of water had gushed, and Il

the shock, and assembled up its bed for a while.
The old cities Of Ava and Tsagain, with their
numerous pagodas and other cdfces, have also
been reduced to heaps Of ruins, and their walls
shattered and thrown down. The towns and vii
lages above and below the capital have likewise
suffered, and it is reported that some have been
swallowed up aad others destroyed by inundaton

lily are the masters Of India. Pitt, dressed II,

his hat under his arm, assembled taking two or

turned up his nose and his pale face, and passed
on ".
A, home this great fnancier kept no sort Of
order; he had no regular hours for his meals or
Tor sleep. Over head and years in debt, he paid
nobody, and never could take the trouble to cast
up a bill. A ralci- de-chambrc managed his house.
Ill dressed, without pleasure, without passion,
greed! Of power, he dspised honors and would
not BE- any thing more than William Pitt.
In The month Of June, 1872, Lord Liverpool

different place 1t would not have been filled
with SO many snares and miseries, but would
have been rendered a PEACEFUL quiet, holy habi-

better babitation, where nothing shall ever enter
to disturb his rest and where he shall feel him

The above table exhibits the strength OF
the army employed by Great Britain to
enslave the people Of the Canadas. 1t has
been made out upon the most certain in
formation, and may be relied upon as
showing the strength of the British Regu-
lar Force in the Canadas at this time. BY
the British Army regulation it is provided
that the regiment Of the line shall consist
of $50 rank and file. The officers and SER
eeants are an addition to this number. OF
each regiment there are detained at the
