The LAST OF THE SrUARTs.-This most won-
derful character still lives at Tweedmouth He
completed his 18th year at Christmas, lS43.
His father, General John Stuart, was cousin of
Prince Charlie" the Pretender. James Stuart
saw those memorable battles, during the rebellion
Of LAS, Prestonpans and Cu!ioden, and has
spoken to, and drank wine with, the Pretender He
has been FIVE times married and now lives with
the fifth wife, IS years younger than himself. He
has had bv his several wives 81 Children ten OF
| ,ott of t,o, ~,
India, two at Trafalgar under Nelson, one at
Waterloo, and two at Algiers. For nearly 60
wears he has travelled in the Border districts as
wandering minstrel, but he never asked aims from
any one. Hundred of persons can bear Testimony
to his amazing strength, from which circumstance
he got the bye-name of "Jemmy Strength"
Amony other feats he could carry 4-pounder
cannon, and he has been known to lift cart
load of hay, weighing q ton and halt, upon his
back. 1t will be long before can look upon his
like again, to hear his stories Of l745, and his
glowing description of the Young Chevaller.
SPAlN.-The week IS news from Spain may very
briefly be summed up. Mr.. Bulwer had present
ed all autograph letter from Queen Victoria to
Queen Isabella, in reply to the notification OF the
Queens majority. The Government had issued
decree restoring to Queen Christina the pension
| promoted to the rank of Captain General of the
afford no pretext for supposing him to be actuated
by ambition or other corrupt motive but the
Queen commanded his acceptance. The cleo
tons for vacancies in the Cortes, proceeding
throughout the country, were in favor of the Pro-
gresistas.
New ZEALAND.-New Zealand papers to the
2lst of September have come to hand, according
to which the excitement caused by the late fear
fol massacre in the Warou country, near Cloudy
| bay, had in degree subsidized. 1t appears that
no steps were TO be taken against the natives TIL
the will of the Colonial Secretary was known
A committee of public safety had been formed,
and other plans ofproection adopted to resist any
incursion that might take place. This unfortun-
ate massacre seems already to have preJudlced
the minds of the public, since the papers a!lude
TO the reiusalo OF emgrants to leave Hobart-town
and Sidney, as they had first intended to do for
permanent location in the Bay of Islands after
receiving the news of the conflict, and the hope
is expressed that this affair will not be allowed to
influence settlers respecting the general security
of the colony.
The most interesting information received by
this arrival, is the commencement of the export
trade of the colony, the Nelson, the vessel BRING
ing these papers, being the first ship coming home
with full cargo of oil, whalebone, and flax. The
estimated value of the flax is EGO per ton. The
whale fishery had also been very successful, and
five or six vessels were expected to be despatched
to England with its produce. A complaint is
made of the lack ofsupply of proper casks to car
rv out the intended shipments. 1t is limited that
this want may for the present be satisfied by par
ties in England taking every opportunity of send
ing goods, as far as possible IN frst-rate London
oil casks
EARrHouAKEs-At Coudrie, in Perthshire, a
smart shock sqas felt on the l4th instant. The
day was calm and frosty, with sunshine. The
accompanying sound was very loud. At Aber-
feldv, on the same day, two shocks were felt
which lasted several moments. letter from
Rome states that several slight shocks of earth
quake had been felt there, but no injury had
arisen. The German papers state that two more
earthquakes had taken place at Ragusa on the
22d ult. In the Island of Sark, the men en-
ployed in the mines four hundred feet below the
surface felt nothing of any shock, which above
ground was OF an alarming character. At Cher
bourg the houses were much shaken.
ISp1A-The Indian Mail has arrived with let
ters and papers from Bombay to Dec. /. The
principal items relate to the prevalence of great
sickness in the two newly acquired possessions of
scinde in India, and of Hong Kong in China
Peace prevails throughout British India, although
the preparations for war were busy throughout
the North. Western Districts. An Army of about
$4,000 men was assembled on the banks of the
Sutledge and another was collecting at Agra;
the former to compel the Siekhs to adopt some
regular fixed system of government, and the lat
ter to force the Government of Gwallor to make
proper arrangements.
Much attention has been directed toward the
Puniaub The Chiefs are represented as dis
united, the soldiers are mutinous, and the Prov
inces are distracted by their fears for they dread
