The subject Of impeachment and its
probable result offers q prolific scheme
Tor speculation in the newspapers, but
need not say that nothing is or can be
known on the subject until the final vote
Is taken. Senators are very reticent even
among themselves IL am told that they
abstain from discussing the subject, and
never mention it even in private. There
are those who pretend to have positive
assurances that certain Republicans will
vote in the negative-enough of them to
acquit the President But doubt il they
have any thing more than guess work to
guide them to the happy conclusion
The outside pressure is nearly all in favor
OF conviction, and comes exclusively
i,om men who expect office under Mr.
Wade-not only expect, but have been
promised Mr.. Wade's friends, on the
contrary, affect an extremely judicial air,
and q plastic condition OF mind and con
science on the subject OF the President s
guilt or innocence that is truly wonder
tul. They want to hear the testimony,
they say, and if Mr.. johnson is innocent
he will be acquitted. All Of which must
make A. j. feel hopeful. r.Ht
The trial will begin in good earnest on
Monday next, and be continued uninter-
mlttingly to its close. Whatever may be
its result, it will be quietly acquiesced in,
and the people of all parties will rejoice
at It's termination, if not at its verdict.
The right or wrong of the verdict will be
discussed before the people next fall
The burden of proof will be upon the

The fact has already been stated in the
Commercials dispatches that the colored
element were rigidly excluded from the
Senate galleries on the first day ofthe
impeachment trial, and the only day thus
far when admission has been obtainable
by tickets. The colored element is, nat.
uraly enough, Indignant at this state OF
affairs, and promise to make n fuss about
il, though il is difficult to see what good
that will do them. inasmuch as the exclu.
sion of which they complain was the work
Of their friends, aud not ofthe Copper.

tickets, and each Representative two.

The Island ofSt Thomas.
THE DAMAGE DONE BY THE EARTHQUAKES
THE PRESENT CONDITION OF AFFAIRS.

Intelligence from st. Thomas is to the
30th Of November. There has been seve-
ral shocks Of earthquakes felt at ST. Thorn
as since the 10th ult.. and the inhabitants
were livingin q frightful state ofsusPense.
The greater number of houses had been
thrown down or rendered unsafe as habita-
tions. The people had been living upon
the hill tops. under tents. hut were. on the
3Oth ult,, returning to the town; and loca.
ting themselves in the outbuildings and
kitchens which were left standing. Bush
ness was still suspended. Tho town was
being cleared of the debris which blocked
up the thorouehfares and mercantile houses
were actively engaged in repairing the inju.
ries. The workmen were actively engaged
IN the regeneration Of st. Thomas, and they
were doing their business, cbeerfully, and
for reasonable wages. Many Of the inhab-
itants, panic striker, had left the island in
droehers for nelghboring settlements. The
Office Of the British Consul had been des-
troyed and many ships had lost their pa
peers in the consulate Several divers had
arrived in the harbor:: from various quarters
and were actively engaged in raising cargo
from the sunken vessels; Three or four
vessels were in harbor, and were unableto
obtain charters. ai.I}oa 7lia3iioa1g YIial
A steamer which had arrived from Havi
ana was inguarentine forten days, although
there was no sickness on boardg "A brig
that was in harbor during the hurricane was
blown on shore, high and dry. abrest Of the
town, and sold for sixty dollars, was again
lifted by the earthquake and lodged in her
natural element uninjured. There wereino
means of landing coal in the harbor OF St.
Thomas, and the town was filed with dis
tressed seamen from the wrecks. "A rock
lin front of the harbor, and about three
quarters of a mile off, is reported to have
broken the force OF the great sea rollers du-
ring the earthquake, and saved the town
and barbor from complete destruction. One
house had been tornup from itsfoundntion
and carried an immense distance away. A
cannon of some. sixty pounds calibre was
blown from the port holes Of the fort. and
has not been discovered. An English brig
in ballast, from Martinique, reports that
while passing Guadaloupea great FIRE was
seen on shore, which appeared as lfthe
town was on FIRE. An English brigatine
in ballast, from Bermuda, was totalwreck.
Heavy seas snapped her cables,a and she
was driven against the rocks at St. Thomas.
The English ship Lancastrian found the
harbor Of st. Thomas SO dangerous with
sunken vessels that she could not enter,
but proceeded to Jamaica to discharge her
cargo. YTbo TFnTr{ 2ETff}TT7
