Many consider the want of Trees here is the cause of drought. That this is not the cause 1 have always combated, (although 1 sincerely wish the planting of fruit and even forest Trees was more practised,) for Barbados generally receiving more than 620 Lines of Rain s much barer of Trees than this Island. I impate the draught of this Island to its peculiar locality, for were the surface covered with Trees in place of Canes it would make little difference as to the quantity of Rain, but it would in time accumulate the same rich soil it orizinally had when first settled, which by forcing and over workine is now on several Estates reduced to a capur mortuum, and from the effects of which very few estates are freed.

THE “AVIS.” S. Bhrisyianzief, 51 Brois e G A FRIDAY, 6rvu JANUARY 1865. ..._‘*-.’__. Sudden deaths se m to be the order of the day. "T'wo cazes occurred in this town, one on the 31st ulto. and one on the 4th inst., and one is said to have occuired on the Estate Carlton. Only in the last mentioned case, we understand, a post mortem examination was made, but no vital organ was found diseased. The-individ ual, as we have learnt, (but we cannot vouch for the truth of the story) bad been breakfast ing on sprats and one was found in his stomach. The contents of the stomach, on being analyzed, shewed no traces of poison. That certein sprats are poisonous ihere can he no doubt; but whether that poison be so insidious as (o escape chemical analysis is something yet to be proved. The question, we thirk, could bhe easily solved by spectrum analysiz, which does not fail to detect the one-thousandth part of a grain of any poison. Apropos of sudden deaths and early interments, we have ever had an idea, that where no unmistakable signs of decomposition set in, interment should be defe red. And this leads us to think that we re quire a dead house here as anywhere else-where they do exist. The horrer of being baried alive should, we think, stimulate some enic. prising individual to start a subseriptien for the erection of such a building and, once started, we do not fear of the means being obtained for the purpose. AccipENTAL DEATH. On Wednesday morm ing, a carnenter, nemed Frederik Richards, while ergaged in doing some work on the roof of Government-house, fell suldenly to the ground and sustained so much injury as to cause his death within an hounr. On Saturday, the 31st ulto., Judgment was pronounced in the Upper Court in the Adven ture Fire Case, previously reported in this pa per by the Agent of the Royal Insurance Com pany. The Lower Court Judgment in all ifs essential points has been confirmed. We published in our last an article headed “An incident at the late fire at Dockhead from which it will be seen that nothing but the timely application of a couple of Zand pumps by the vigilant and skilful volunteer firemen saved the extensive premises ard their valua ble contents from total destruction. In our issue to-day will be found another article on “Londen Fires,” in which it is mea tioned, that spontancous combustion is to be dreaded from Cotton waste §v. From the Spectator, December 3.. THE CRISIS IN GERMANY. The internal affairs of Germany promise to hecoma interesting once more. T'here ave signs that the silent struggle of fifty years between Prussia and Austria, North and South Ger many, the advancing Power and the little Princes, the cook who proposes so many sauces and the ducks who object to be killed, is com ing at last to a head,—that the battle for Ger man supremacy will be fought out over the newly acquired *“Duchies of the Elbe” It may not, probably will not, take the form of war, but the campaign is not the less real, nor does the rule of Germany depend the less npon the result. Tlmmediately on the conclusion of peace the Prussian Government announced through its organs that the Duchies had been conceded to Austria and Prussia, not as chiefs in the Federation but as great Xuropean Pow ers, that they alone were entitled to dispose of the “splendid prize,” and that the Diethad, except from the conquerors’ grace, nothing to do with the matter. The Prussian Court therefore de manded that the Federal troops under the com mand of that body should retire at once from the Ducbies, and cancel the decree authorizing Federal occupation, leaving the great German States in undisputed possession. That necessa ry preliminary accomplished, the Diet would see what it would see, might perchance, if it Te CROIX AV]) S were very good, be made arbiter after all. Hints were at the same time thrown out that Prussia wouid keep Lauenburg, ffaying Austria a pecuniary equivalent, bat would let Schles wig and Holstein go, retaining only a suzerain ty, or as the Prussian officials express it, the right of represzting those Duclies in nnlitary and political matters The Princes, whose wouthpiece, the Diet usually is, were at once annoyed ahd alarmed at this demand. They were annoyed because Holstein and Lauenhurg, vlicther “liberated” or not, were integral States of Gerviny, and the two Powers in affecting to dispose ot ilicin, oholished the fandamenta! 10 of the Federation,—ihat the whele must con sent to the cession of any part. ‘i'he Diet was in fact pronounced powerless, and every petty prince left to deferd himself as he could. They were alarmed hecause this proposal of suzerainty is precisely what they all dread, viz., a political absorptioa mn Prussia such as has al ready occured in the case of Baden, Coburg, and in a less formal manner of Mecklenbarg- Schwerin. They know perfectly well tnat they can secure their maaicipal freedom if they will waive t! eir politic:] rank, but they want to re main independent, the rulers of sovereign States with parts to play, if not in the world, at least in the German Bund. They fell back upon Anstria, and after one or two qualms, some side glances'to Ttaly and France, Austria drew back to her old position as protector of minor Piincex. Herr von Bismark was informed that it was essential for Germany to remain united, and the Diet was quietly encouraged to resist the aggressive Prassian demand. Herr v. Bismark, whose one claim to be con sidered a statesman is his political andacity, was not inclined to give way. If Prussia with her armies in movewment now shrank from as serting her right to the leadership in North Ger many, the claim must be given up, and with it the object on which tue thoughts of every Ho henzollern are fixed—the reversion of the Im perial Crown. Austria would have beaten her, and every petty State avould be asserting its recovered right to exempiion from advice. The Minister, undaunted either by the opposition of the Princes or the annoyance of the Kaiser, des patched envoys to Dresden and Hanover de manaiug the withdrawal of the troops of those States, and planted a whole division at Minden upon the frontier of ILnuver. He imagined apparently that the two Kings would recede be fore such a menace as they did when Prince Charles took possession of Rendsburg, and after an angry protest would retire from the Duchies. And he was right. 'l'hne King of lanover either afraid that Austria, who has also a claim to the Duchies, would quail at the last moment, or indisposed to try so great an issus on a point on which the Diet is technically in the wrong, announced in his own Gazette that he should give way, and ordered his troops to leave the Duchies in possession of the two Powers, re serving only the ultimate claims of the Diet. Herr von Bismark’s audacity has again won the game, Kurope has justly considerable faithin the in dis position of Germans to turn political proposi tions into accomplished facts, hut if the Premier is really possessed of the courage for which his admirers extol him, and can win over his master, it is not impos:sible that a final struggle for power may commence in Germany, that the vicidm’s corpse may produce a fever which will avengze his wrongs. Prussia has never had a fairer chance of asserting once for all that while she respects all municipal privileges she intends to control North Germ ny, to be, when in serious earnest, free (o aet in the teeth of the Diet. Her claim though imperfect as against the Diet in Holstein and Lauenburg is complete in Schles wig, and capable of discussion in all, for the cession was real'y made to the two great Powers alone. Whatever rights King Chris tian possessed were ceded by him to them and not to the Diet, and the right of possession hy treaty is at least as good as that of disposal by federal law—must at all eveuts precede it. Then her armics are in movement, full of a new and exulting confidence in their leaders and their own prowess. It seems to Englishmen very absurd for a great Power to exult as the Grermans do in their victories over a little one, but the Danish campaign really proved certain facts highly pleasing to Prussians. It showed that their army was fairly organized, could be moved with rapidity, fed with ease, brought in to the field without any of those deficiencies apt to arise in the course of half a century of peace. It also proves that the Prussians possessed tol erable leaders, a most efficient artillery, and the host and most rapid weapon for rank and file yet in wuse upon the Continent. The army grew proud of itself, became convinced that its organization was on a level with the age, learned to look down on the Austrian slowness. and imagine itself quite able to meet the French on equal terms. 'l'his new ‘confi dence may be unreal, or ill founded, or even dangerous, but it exists, and existing immensely strengthens the hands of the Prussian Cabinet. That vague sense of the danger of war, of the infinite possibilities it may include, which usual ly restrains all governments, is apt under such circumstances to disappear, and it has for the woment disappeared in Berlin. Above all, Austria and Prassia are no longer en a foot ing of substantial equality. Up to 184~, the Prussian Government never dared press the Princes beyond a certain point, because it had no seeurity that it might not be faced hy Aus trian bayonets more numerous that its own. That danger has not vanished, but it has mate rially decreased If the game to be played is oae of bragz, Prussia can sail nearest the wind, for nothing except attack could tempt Austria to encounter North (rermany, Italy, and Hun gary all at once, with no substantial aid except the Bavarian army. If it is, on the other hand, to be one of fighting, it ix by no means certain that Austria, hampered by the necessity of maintaining huge carrisons in Venice, Galicia, and Hungary, would be secure of victory, and once defeated by Prussia in a pitched battle she would be as a German State extinet. Thero is no Hungarian nation now to make up for all Austrian losses by a raising en masse on behalf of a Queen, no possibility of a triple alliance for the partition of the dominions of the descen dant of Irederik the Great. There is huat one Power which could help her, and while France would demand in return the freedom of Venetia, the Sovereign who invited the Irench beyond the Rhine would never be Kmperor of Germany. Thechances areallin favour of Prussia, and Herr von Bismark is not the man to let his opportu nities slip. If his master can be induced to agree, he will, we suspeet, strive for a real ad ditdon to the strenzth and resources of Prussia, if not for a definite acknowledgment, that in diplomacy and in war she represents and is Germany from the Lider to the Herzgebirge. The New Fiee Piess of Vienna, a paper often well iafo med. sers that Herr von Bismark has inforined Count Karolyi of the extent of his maste ’s eleim. The Prussian King states that he will support 22 “imh',)TidunL" Schieswig- Holste'n only uyon the following terms:--A militery coavent’on, a “iffu'i:in‘e union,” the w.ri ‘me inse."ploa Y be gt Prussian disposal, toe cession of Klel, the Ngvereionty of the Eider Cin 1, and the Joceizn\grepresentaticn of e Du 'ties.

The Austrian Gazette adds that the Austrian Government was not even inform ed of the order commanding the Prussian troops to halt in Holstein, and that Herr von Bismark evidently waited till the white coats had been withdrawn.

From the London Times, December 15. KING CHRISTIAN IN JUTLAND. (REUTER’S EXPRESS.) COPENHAGEN, Dec. 11. The following ils the exact text of the address presented to the King of Den- mark by the deputation of Schleswigers which waited upon His Majesty at Kol. ding l “To His Majesty King Curistian IX., ON THE PART OF THE DaNisH INuABIT- ANTS OF SCHLESWIG, GREETING. “Sire,—lt is with profound grief that we have received your Majesty’s farewell, The force of circumstances has separated those who have been united for centuries. Brothers have been torn from brothers. Your Majesty’s Crown has lost a jewel the preservation of which had cost tor renis of blood. Sire, we have felt the necessity of once more greeting our old Sovereign for the last time. Ancient ties are broken, and new ones have not yet been established. We are isolated, not knowing what the future will bring us. We shall long cher- ish the recollections of the past as of the long series of years during which we lived under the mild rule of the Damsh Kings. Forture has given place to dis- aster, but in joy as in sorrow we have kept our eyes steadily fixed upon the throne. We shall preserve our remem- brance of bygone days, and the Danish pe()ple on this side of the Konigsau will never forget its brothers beyond, for all a our recolleetions are in common. But the times compel us to direct our gaze towards the future. In your Majesty’s farewell address we were recommended to seek consolation at the throne of Him who holds the happiness of nations and the fate of kingdoms in His Almighty hand. And we place our hopes on none other than on Him. Should it happen that the wishes of the population are allowed to exercise any iufluence upon the final settlement of our future, we pray your Majesty to retain the firm con viction that we shall show how deeply love to our ancieut country is rooted iu the hearts of the population of Schleswig, May God guard your Majesty! May He protect Denmark, our ancient fatherland.” His Muajesty replied: “You have told me how bitterly you grieve to be separated from Denmark and the Danish Royal House, and I pray you to believe that it has also been most painful to me to be placed uunder the ne- I cessity of reliuquishing the ancient Da nish Crown-land of Schleswig, united for l centuries with Denmark. Os all the cares and sorrows which have been heap ed upon me during my brief rule, noth- 1 ing has more depressed my mind, nothing weighed more deeply upon my heart than the separation from the brave, faith ful, and loyal Schleswigers, who have, upon so many difficult oceasions, constant- 4 ly given the most brilliant proofs of fidel- STe CROLXAVI S itv and devotion to Denmark and the Dauish Royal House, who have cherished no dearer or more zealous wish than to remain united with the kinodou under i my sceptre. Bat, my triends, we must all bow to the will of Providence, and l will pray to the Almighty that He may i give both to yon and to me the requisite strength and endurance to bear the bitter pangs of separation. I thank you hearti- ly for your presence at this place, and will consider it as an additional proof of your devotion to me and the Danish Royal House. My best wishes for your future welfare will always be with vou. May God preserve and bless you all An address with 1,098 signatures was also presented to King Christian the same day, from the inhabitants of the eight North Schleswig parishes which are to be incorporated with Jutland. SPAIN. 1 MADRID, Drc. 14, The Noticias of to-day says that it hav- ing been officially announced that the English Government intended to recoo- nize the jusurgents of San Domingo as belligerents, the Narvaes Miunistry have tendered their resignation. The FEpoca of to-day siys “The Council of Ministers had unani- mously decided to announce the abandon- ment of San Domingo in the Speech from the Throne, but the Queen having re- 5 fused her assent to this resolution, Min- 5 isterial crisis took place.” j The resolution of Eneland to recognize the rebels as belligerents was in pursu- ance of the reservation expressed by her at the time of the annexation of the island to Npain. This course was adopted by England on account of the Spanish block- ade of San Domingo having been declar- ed ineflectual. E AUCTION
