The position-speaking politically
and if we can venture to express these
words: truly and reaIIy-of this Island,
is uncertain at this moment, with regard
to the future rule Of 1.-THE change Of
government, as is apparent. Some par
ties say, that st. CroiX is sold others
deny it. Doubt has prevailed, for a con-
siderable Time, as to the uncertainty of
the sale Of this place. The secrecy that
lasted during all this while, has not been
either familiar or pleasant to any one.
No! the feelings of man are too keen and
perceptive not to observe all, and with
stand this movement. Look then! Fell
low-Citizens! at your present position;
and study your own interests; for, it
is undeniable, that the change Of gov
eminent, as far as regards the islands of
st. Thomas and st. John came on equally
as rapidly, suddenly, and unexpectedly
as the hurricane of last month and the
earthquakes during this month. Can any
man of common sense and the least judg-
ment then declare, that this island would
be of value, benefit, or gain TO Denmark,
without ST. Thomas and st. John? Can
any one, for a moment, believe that the
Agricultural interests of it would be bet
ter provided for in the present state of
things? Shall we her with truth ex-
plain ourselves, and positively avOw, that

FRIDAY. 18TH DECEMBER 1867.

THE opening of yesterday morning
was serene and clear q beautiful rain
bow-whether indicating good or bad,
(which natural phenomenon is beyond
our province to describe,) was seen in all
its grandeur and magnifcence on the hor-
lion, extending itself from North to West.
Later, and at about a quarter after ten
O'Clock a. M. the handiwork of Almighty
God was visibly shown-a very severe
shock Of Earthquake was experienced
here, causing people to run out of their
houses, andmany persons were so alarmed
that it was impossible for them to 90, on
with their business. Merciful Providence!
the same shock visited st. Thomas; and
we are told by a passenger, who arrived
from that place this morning at seven
o'clock, and in whom we place reliance,
that this shock Of Earthquake was as
strong as the first one on Monday the
18th of last month !; yet not of such long
duration. All who experience it here, as
we'll as in st. Thomas, say, that it was
accompanied by a rumbling noise, and of
an undulating movement. The heart
stricken people of these Westindia Islands
are unnerved-business partly suspended
trade impeded, and many-we speak it
without shame-are without the proper
means of support for their daily susten-
ance. Indeed the shock we allude to, of
yesterday, was so great, that the children
at school rushed with fright to the doors

OBITUARY.

DIED here on Saturday morning, 9TH
instant, Admiral PALMER, of the United
States Navy. Senior Officer commanding
the Gulf and West India Squadron. This
melancholy event caused partly by vel
low fever, is not only deeply lamented by
those attached to the United States serv-
zee, but also by a large number of inhab-
itants of these Islands, who Were either
personally acquainted or had been be-
tflended by the Admiral or experienced
many acts Of Kindness and h~encvoIence
of him and his Officers during the ~vicissi-
tudes which have befalIcn these Islands.
The deceased we learn leaves an aged
mother and sisters greatly relying on his
care and protection to mourn his demise.
and a most hcart-rending scene awaits
them, on the arrival of the "Susquchan-
ma" CHS ship which left the same after
noon, TO convey his remains to New York.

to escape the teachers themselves pale and
fearful could not venture to speak a word.
Many slight shocks were felt since. At
about 3 o'clock yesterday, one, if not of
great severity, then of a nature TO notice,
took place. When and where, as we have
said before, is this sad calamity TO end?
Prophecy and nature combined together
would, it seems, challenge the great Pow
ers of Heaven to warn the mortal man
of his immortality consequently tell him
that of his vanity, his pride, his c%onceit-
edness and, really, Of his nothingness, that
he is a mere shadow. Again, this morn
ing, it is our painful duty to notice an
other shock ; and before we 90 to press,
we may perhaps-God forbid-have to
report of other Earthquakes. The dam
age done to stone-buildings is, as we I'M
derstand, greater than to the brick buildings;
the wooden houses with wall foundation
have also suffered but as report says, and
which may not be impossible that some
houses have partly fallen in the island Of
st. Thomas. Great is, we are sorry to
say, the injury done TO buildings here, as
we'll as in St. Thomas.
1t is very satisfactory and truly gratify-
ing, when reading the st. ThomG Tiden-
de of the 9TH instant, to notice the chart
table contributions given to the sufferers
of the Islands Of st. Thomas and St.
Johns, by the late caIamities-hurricano
and earthquakes. 1t is a pleasing teau-
ture, and one worthy Of remark-yct
more worthy of gratitude; particularly
when these donations are made so gen
erously and bauniifn!ly.
In making the foregoing remarks, we
feel compelled to speak now Of the Sut-
ferers of The town of Frcderiksted, where
many people are almost destitute, and in
a measure, ruined-having lost most Of
their clothing, their furniture, and part of
their dwellings. Certainly then, it would
be an act of great charity were a sub
scrlption-Iist opened for their immediate
relief; if not to a full extent, then to Il
lesser one. 1t would be no wonder at all,
if such steps arc not already taken for
the people of this Island-those who have
not suffered and whose pockets are lined
with money, whether profuseiy or not
are always ready and willing to cOntri-
butte on such occasions handsomely and
cleyerIy y.

LONDON.
From the DallY TelegraDh.

From the Daily Telegraph.
Intelligence has reached US, flashed
under the ocean by the Atlantic cable,
of a terrible calamity in the West Indies.
A hurricane of extraordinary force has
swept through the group of the Virgin
Islands, and left devastation and death
upon its track. The summary of the evil
news is, that the town of St. Thomas lies
in ruins, that there has been a fearful loss
of life, and that four of the magnificent
steamers of the Royal Mail Steam Com
pany, with fifty other ships, large and
small, are either totally wrecked or driven
ashore. The storm broke out on the
29th of October. While the atmosphere
here was quiet and bright, and the autumn
leaves hardly luttered when falling, in the
unlucky little island mighty vessels were
torn like c%ockboats from their mooriDgS
and swept upon the beach, trees were
rent from their roots, houses were toppled
over, the sea was dashed into fury and
driven in mountains over the land, and
people were crushed to death or drowned.
We have nothing at present but the merest
outline of the catastrophe, which had to
be reported first to Havana, and then to
New Orleans, and which comes thence as
a telegraphic message. But we can Judge
with only too much certainty how awful
the aerial convulsion must have been.
1t is not an ordinary storm which can

our duty to advise the public of the superior ex-

advertisements in your valuable paper we find
that eur neighbors have in use, in fact have used
up, in putting their unsightly mixture of OLD and

mately express the superior inducements that We
are enabled to offer the public, for reason Of our
stock being entirely neic. One party advertises
that his goods are the very best possible, thevery
cheapest possible, and the very prettiest possible
Another party advertises in the same manner,
another in the same, and so to the end of the

honorable men, their advertisements being the
same, their goods and prices must be so likewise,
But Messrs. Editors, our goods are at least two
degrees better, and as many prcttier and cheaper
than those of our neghbors; and as there is no
