We have had no arrival of importance since Tuesday. The Sisters, announced in our last, brought London Papers several days later in their dates than those we received last week by way of Barbados, but their contents are not of so interesting a nature as might be expected - for we find nothing done definitively, in respect to the New Administration of the British Government; no further military movement of importance in the Peninsula; nothing to be entirely depended upon from the North; or any article worthy of particular notice, in regard to America. Our military readers, however, will find in the subsequent columns, what will no doubt be to them extremely interesting; as, in the same, will those of our friends who come under the denomination of the Shipping Interest.

In our last page the reader will find additional particulars, relative to the late calamity in the Island of St. Vincents.

ISLAND OF SAINT VINCENT. [heading]

Kingstown, July 4. - The Wallibou quarter on Sunday night last, witnessed a scene of horror and devastation much more terrific and destructive in its effect; than even the memorable night of the awful eruption of the Morne Souffriere. The prodigious masses of ignited substances, which were ejected in the channels of the Wallibou river, which were ejected from the mouth of the crater, made an intrenchment in the channels of the Wallibou river, which effectually stopt the rolling of its waters, and a vast lake, in a constant state of effervescence, had formed near its source, which continued daily to increase till it covered above four acres of land. On Sunday night, therefore, this diffusion of water, from the fall of heavy rains, became so great, that the frightful reservoir overflowed, and the prodigious flood burst through the barriers of volcanic combustibles with irresistible fury, and such was its destructive impetuosity, that it completely inundated the adjacent valley; and, besides its ravages in bearing down a number of negro-houses, several lives were lost, and others so dreadfully scalded from the river of liquid fire which overwhelmed them, that their lives are despaired of; and the mountain too, during the dreadful scene, had a return of one of its terrific fever-fits, its roarings and belchings caused a general consternation, and on the following night, about eleven o'clock, a most violent concussion of the earth, such as the oldest inhabitants never experienced, was felt all over the island.
