BY the British brig Diadem, Captain Grant,
from Kingston. Jamaica, last evening, we are
placed in possession of highly interesting inteli-
gence from the West Indies.
Two days before the departure of the Diadem,
one OF the British mail steamers arrived at King
ston, with the startling information that the Islands
of st. Kits, st. Thomas and Nevis, had been al
most totally destroyed by an earthquake. Ac-
cording to the reports, these islands had almost
completely disappeared. OF ST. Thomas and Ne
Wis, scarcely particle remained to give notice OF
their former locality. This calamity was proba-
bly, the result of the earthquake, the effects of
which were slightly felt in various portions of the
United States.-Ne1U Orleans Iropic.

for the purpose Of invading Texas in the spring.
Inc editor goes on 10 speak Of he-damape occa-

SO many industrious citizens from their accustom

al tne Vicious, the idle, and the dissipated who
can be found, should be forced into the service
ana mus rendered more useful to the public than
they are likely TO be in any other way. II
is evident from this. as well as from other sonr-
ces OF information, that invasion of Texas on
a large scale Is intended by Mexco--probably as
soon as the recon1uest Of Yucatan is effected n
1t should be, OF which at present there is some
