Death of Douglas Jenold.

We learn by the steamship Persia, which
arrived this mornir g,ol.the death OF Douglas
Jerrold, Esq. the well known wit and htera-
teur, on the Sih inst. after short and pain
full illness of ten days.
Mr., Jerroid was 80 years of age, was u
Kent County man, the son OF the manager
oil provincial theater. A portion of his
early youth was passed as midshipnan on
board of man of-.war. twenty-five years
ago we find him in London, kind of liter
airy vagrant. .witha large family on his hands
and glad to get half sovereign for an ordi-
nary newspaper paragraph.
His first decided success was the drama

knowR to our theater going citizens Black
Eyed Susan another drama from his penis
still kept on :he stage, while the Golden
Calf s.Time Works Wonders and the
Bubbles of The Day. were only partially
successful On the whole he cannot be
called u successful dramatIst; his genius
was too cynical-almust sardonic.
He was. one of the principal contributors
of Punch from the start. and w.ote for its
columns The Story of a Feather and the
well-known 'Caudle Lectures He was the
conductor of several other periodicals at dit.
terent times. His best story, st. Giles and
st. James, appeared in the Shilling Maga-
zine,' paper which we believe has been
discontinued. He was hard d-working man,
and has written frequently for Punch within
the last year. At one time he was its editor
in chief. .. ....... .,.s.
In politics he was fierce radical, ard has
said many severe things of this country; al
though within the last year he cantemp plat d
a lecturing tour through the United States.
In religion he vas inclined to .li6eral'
faith. His person was short and insgnif-
cant; nothing to indicate that he was man
of mark. ~. Y. Mirror. ....

Of which Americans really know so little:
The Bay Islands, as such, mentioned in

sumber-Ruatan, Guanaja, Uiila, Barbar-
eta. Helena and Morat. Ruatan, the larg-
est, ia about twenty-five miles long and

alone, he thinks, could be made to produce
more fruit annually than is shipped from the
