hours and minutes in a year. Thus, sir,

manac; and by your lordsIip's permits
slon, | will prove it my prayer-book also.
81 look upon the four suits as repre-
sfnling the four prevailing religions
Christianity, Judaism, Mahometanlsm,
Paganlsm ; he twelve court cards remind
me of he twelve Patriarchs, from whom
Sprang The twelve tribes of Israel, the
twelve apostles, The twelve articles of
Christian faith. The king reminds me of
the allegiance due to his majesty ; the
queen, OF The same TO her majesty. The
ten brings to my recollection the ten cities
in the plains OF Sodom and Gomorrah des-
troyed by fire and birthstone from heaven;
then ten plaques of Egypt; the ten COM
mandmenls; The ten tribes cut off for their
vice. The nine reminds me of the niue
muses.; The niue noble orders among men.
The eight reminds me of the eight heati-
tudeS; The eight persons saved in Noah's
ark; the eight persons mentioned in Scrip
lnre to be released from death to life.
The seven reminds me of the seven adj
mlnlstering spirits that stand before the
throne ofGod; the seven seals wherewith
the book of life is sealed; The seven liberal
arts and sciences given by God for the in
struction of man the seven wonders of
the world. The six reminds me of the
SIX petitions contained in the Lords
Prayer. The five reminds me of the
senses given by God to man: hearing,
seeing, feeling, tasting, and smelling. The
four puts me in mind of the Four Evan
gells's; the four seasons of the wear. The
three reminds me ofthe Trinity the three
hours Our Saviour was on the cross ; the
three days he lay inferred. The two re-
minds me of the two TeStaments; the
two contrary principles struggling in man,
virtue and vice. The ace reminds me of
the only true God to adore, worship and
serve; one truth to practice, and one good
master to serve and obey.
so far it is very WELL" said the noble
man; 'bnt | believe you have omitted
one card-lhe knave.
True, my lord the knave reminds me
of your lordShip's lnformer."
The nobleman became more pleased
with Jack than before, freely forgave
HIM, raised his wages, and discharged the
lnformer.

BARBADOS.
If not a. drought such as prevails in
Demerara, there have been, at least, very
nnfavourable seasons in Barbados. The
Hest Indian says The growth OF HE canes
has been materially checked in the black
soils, and even where they are most pro-
missing, they are low, with but Ii;Dle cane
80 them, and without continuous rains for
the remainder OF the year, cannot come
up TO even an ordinary yield. The eX-
ces>ively sultry weather had been attend
ed with the same unfavonable effects
upon lie health Of the island, and a good
deal of sickness prevailed.
ST. LUCIA.
The only topic of interest was the dis
cussion of a recent despatch received by
the Governor from his Grace The Secre-
tary of State for the Colonies, defining
the political constitutions of the several
West India colonies.
The 81. Lucian says that with the close
of the crop all animation seems to be de-

relgns. Rain has fallen plentifuIly. Com
mercially nothing is doing.

BERMUDA.
The Bermuda House Of Assembly has
under consideration a 'Divorce Act" On
the 14th Sent. the 12th clause to the bill
was under discussion. This clause enacts
that a petitioner, man or woman, on OBJ
tanning a decree of divorce from IA Court,
either or both parties may marry again
as if their marriage had been dissolved
by death. Mr.. Hunt very warmly OPP
posed the clause. He conteuded that a
decree for separation was gong Tar enough,
and that 1t would be ii most Iamcnlable

for the law to sanction a man to have Il
