On Thursday last, while the laborers of CoRSELres DALET, the contractor on Mr. PARISH'S

work, in this village, were engaged at a bank near the Railroad Depot, the earth unexpectedly gave way, entirely burying two laborers, and partly burying others, besides smashing a cart and killing the horse. The two men were killed- instantly, while a third had his leg broken and was other­wise badly bruised—In extricating the men, thi> cart and the horse, an altercation sprung up be­tween a laborer and Mr. DALST. th,e contractor, leading to "clow.-, which has" been brought before Police Justice BACON for investigation. The mat­ter is still held under advisement, Mr. DALET being confined to his bed oh account of injuries

receiv-ed.

"In those days of railroads and steamboats, it is not so much a question with tfee traveling public how they sbaB perform their lapg journeys as it is how they shall perform their Vshort ones. And while the railroads and steamboats have driven off the heavy four and six horse stages from the great lines of travel, still, small links remain scattered throaeh our country, where the trim and tidy two and four-horse stages were never more in demand than now. Of such is the line of road between Ogdensburgh arid Canton, which is now kept up in the best ordes^by X. S. PEEXTICE, Esq. The convenience of this line, running daily between

- -0gd4nsburgh and Canton, is acknowledged by all our citizens, and we trust he is receiving-a com­pensation equivalent to the great pains he is taking ia' furnishing good horses, pleasant coaches, and ; careful, attentive drivers. His principal office in | Ogdensburgh is at the Baldwin House—kept by I Capt. JEREMIAH BALDWIN. |

We publish below the proceedings of a

meeting held in Nebraska, making application to

Congress for a Territorial Government There

are yet but very few people in that country, and it

seems those who are there desire that the Terri-

torv should remain under the protection of the

Missouri Compromise Act, which would secure--

theni against the introduction of Slavery. They

are opposed to agitating the question of Slavery,

and ask for the passage of the Territorial bill re­

ported by Mr. HALL, which passed the House of

Representatives in the last Congress, and left the

Missouri Compromise in full force; so it seems

the bill of Mr. DOCGLAS |n entirely gratuitous and

against the wishes of t h j few -inhabiiants of Ne­

braska. . * , {From the St. Joseph Gazette.]

The St. Joseph Nebraska Convention has been held. Its deliberations were marked by harmony | and.goori feeling. —Its voice will be potent, be- ! cause i t is the voice of the people, of assembled hundreds—a Convention proclaiming the one • sentiment that pervades the whole country.

Mr. Rensselaer Hayens es­tablished himself in New York in 1794, and for manv venrs pursued the shipping business in part­nership with Frederick Jenkins. During the last War with Great Britain the firm were interested in-privateering, and it was under their auspices that ihe famous armed brig Oaural Armstrong was fitted out. Since 1825 Mr. Havens has held the Presidency of the Howard Insurance Company. Through life he enjoyed in the highest degree the

j respect and confidence of his fellow-citizens.

The extensive ship builder and steamboat owner, died at Newport, St. Clair Co., Michigan, on the 4th inst , aged 75. He was a native of Vermont, and entered upon his career on the Lakes in 1810. Among the vessels'built under his management at

' Newport were the steamers Huron, Champion, 1 Detroit, Sam Ward, Pacific, Atlantic, Ocean, Cas­

of the spine, accidentally, received a few days pre­viously while wrestling with a friend.

t ions :— , Mr. Putnam said that he rose to a personal ex­

planation dile alike to-himself,and the subject matter -pf the resolutions. In the course of his remarks, yesterday, he read an article from Kilci Register, declaring the Missouri Comproniise to be morally " a c o m p a c t ; " and he read an approval of that sentiment as from Mr. Jefferson: He was in error,—it was by anothor. distinguished States­man.

Mr. Brooks moved that the resolutions b e re­ferred to n Select Committee of three Senators, with instructions to report one or more resolu­tions embodying thb following principles-:

" t h e binding force of the act known as the Mesouri Compromise Act, approved March 6, 1820, and which is in the following words, viz. : ' Provided that in all Territory ceded by Franco to the United States, under the name of Louisiana, which lies north of 38 degrees 30 minutes North Latitude, not included within the limits of the State contemplated by this Act, Slavery and in­voluntary servitude, otherwise than in the punish­ment of crimes whereof the parties shall have been duly convicted, shall be, and is hereby, for­ever prohibited: provided, always, that any per­son escaping into the same, from whom labor or service is lawfully claimed in any State or Terri­tory of the United States, such fugitive may be law­fully reclaimed and conveyed to the person claim­ing his or her Mbor or service aforesaid.' .

"Also, to report upon the binding force of the said act of cession from France to the United States, under the namo of Louisiana, in reference to Territory lying north of the line of thirty-six degrees and thirty minutes, and from which States may* be formed and admitted into the Uniun with or without Slavery, as their Constitutions may

j prescribe at the time of their adoption. " Also, to report a recognition of and acquies­

cence in the Compromise Measures of 1850, which included the admission of California into the Union as a Free State, a large part of which lies

] South of 36 degrees 30 minutes; the organization j of New Mexico and Utah into Territorial Govern-| ments, with or without Slavery as their Constitu-I tions should prescribe; the Act for the surrender ' of fugitives from service wheu claimed under the ] provisions of the fourth article, second section,

and third clause of the Constitution of the United States, and the Act for the abridgement of the

| Slave Trade in the District of Columbia.

"Also, a denial of the position assumed by tho 1 advocates of the Nebraska Bill at Washington,

that the Missouri Compromise Act has been super-I seded in reference to the Nebraska Territory by I the Compromise Act of 1850. And a request to I our Senators and Representatives in Congress to | vote against the admission of Xebraska into the : Union until the Indian titles are extinguished."

A debate occurred, in which Messrs. Dickiuson, ' Putnam, Brooks, Danforth and Crosby took part»

Xo question was taken. Mr. Whitney rose to a question of privilege,

and read a dispatch he had just received from a member of Assembly now in New-York. It was

i as follows: i " T h e Germans thrcateu to mob you. Don't I come in the night frain."

Mr. Whitney said he alluded to the subject to i show the Senators from the 20tb and 31st Dis-! tricts, the character of that class for whom they de­

sired special legislation, n e had no idea that the threat came from any others than those who were

K

the habitual frequenters of these drinking saloons to which he had alluded on a former occasion, j nounced the recess till 3 J 1 The great body of the Germans had nothing to do with the matter. At all events he should visit the city day or night as usual, and all he had to say to those who threatened U> mob him, was that when they chose to meet him they would find him ready to receive them.

An editorial article in the last Oswego Palladium

states that there is/probably no point in the United States or in the world where the manufacture of Flour is conducted upon so large a scale as in the

'Icity of Oswego, together with the mills at the vil­lage of Fulton, twelve miles South of Oswego. The first mill for the manufacture of flour was erected in 1S26. They have now eighteen mills, with ninety-five run of stones, with elevaters and store-houses to match. A portion of these mills and elevators were destroyed by the great fire in Oswego in July last, but are in the progress of

rapid completion. » r-

The first regular meeting of the Oawegatchie Trotting Club of Ogdensburgh is to take place in this village to-morrow, February 15, to continue three days—Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. A laudable degree of activity is being manifested by the Club to obtain a goodly number of tracks made upon the ice and to get them in proper con­dition. With favorable weather their efforts can

not fiul to render this important part of the p«H- fthere should be protected inaBtheii•rights, leaving questions of local pohcy -to be settled by the citr gramme satisfactory to the sporting gent3 who

•may be in attendance. For several day3 past we have noticed about onr village sundry suspicious looking nag3 enveloped in figured blankets, with large and audaciously bordered eye-let Jioles work­ed therein, while the animal3 gave out a swaggering zig-zag gait, indicative that they see " some" when loqse. W e have heard that the number of horses that wiQ be in attendance from abroad is highly encouraging for the lovers of thU sport, while the number about home that are preparing to fall into fine is not small.

The tracks have been made exactly in front of th'e town, extending from near the Light House to tha BaHroad Depot, thns affording a fine viewfrom t h e shore. ' Every body is looking for fan and they wiB co t probably be disappointed.

Resolved, That it is the duty of Congress as early as possible, at its present session, to organize Xebraska into a Territory, and thus give to her residents, travelers, traders and citizens, the pro­tection of law, and the rights and privileges of a free people. .

Resolved, That wo are utterly opposed to any re-agitation of that " vexed question," now hap­pily at rest—and we will resist all attempts at re­newing in Congress, or out of it, the agitation of the slavery question, under whatever shapeor color the question may be made.

Resolved, That while we are in favor of the early extinguishment of the Indian titles, we be­lieve that delays are dangerous, and that the or­ganization of the Territory should not be delayed for that purpose, but a government of laws should at once be extended over the people who* may settle there.

Resolved, That in effecting that organization, a b31. substantially similar in its provisions to the biU known as HalTs bill, introduced at tbglas t session of Congress, would meet our approb|j6on, and, as we believe, that of the country, j

Resolved, That we consider the agit^tioniofflje Slavery question, in connection with the organi­zation of Xebraska Territory, dangerous- to the peace of the country, fatal to the best interests of1

I was held on the 3d inst, at the Bible House, As-j tor Place, Xew York. The Hon. Luther Bradish

presided, assisted by Hon. A. B. Hasbrouck, and Win. B. Crosby, B. L. Swan, and Francis Hall, Esqs. Seven new Auxiliaries were recognized,— two in Texas, three in Missouri, and in North Carolina and Indiana one each. Interesting com­munications were received from different parts of the country, especially Oregon, California, Florida, Tennessee and Kentucky. A letter was presented from the Bahama Islands, asking a donation gf Spanish Bibles ; on© from Rev. Mr. Hall, mission­ary among the Ojibway Indians, in regard to a new version of the Testament in the Ojibwtfy language ; from Rev. D. D. Silliman, going as a missionary • to Palestine, asking a donation of Bibles ; two from Greece, in regard to circulation of the Scriptures in that country, stating that the Bible is introduced into the public schools under the sanction of Government, and requesting the minting of 10,000 copies of the New Testament at Athens. ' <,'

A most interesting and ratifying report of the Building Committee was presented, seating the completion of their very arduous and responsible labors in the erection of the new Bible nouse, aftd showing that the pecuniary affairs are in a very satisfactory condition. The report was adopterl, and the Committee discharged"; when the Board united in presenting thanksgiving and prayer to Him by whose kind providence this im­portant undertaking has been so happily com­pleted. At the close of the religious exercises the Bibles voted to the members of the Committee by the Society, as a testimonial of the value of their services, were presented; to which one was added to the general agent, who has shared in the labors and responsibilities of the Building Com­mittee. Grants of books were made to ;he Bap» tisfc Publication Society, Charleston, S. C . ; to the Seventh Day, Baptist Missionary Society ; to the Xew York Episcopal Missionary for Seaman; to tho Presbyterian Board of Missions; Spanish Bibles for the Bahama Islands ; Spanish Bibles for Matanzas; with^many others of smaller amount. *

ber of the Committee on Indian Affairs, in place of Mr. Adams.

By consent, the bill to provide for the improve­ment of the Erie, Oswego, and Cayuga and Sen-

I eca Canals, was read a third time aud passed— | Ayes 85, Xoes 0. ! Many petitions on the usual subjects, were pre­

sented. The Annual Report of the Auditor of the Canal

Department was received. Mr. Littlejohu offered a resolution to print 300

copies, and three for onch member. [Referred. A commuuliation from the State Agricultural

Society asking the use of the Assembly Chamber on the 8th of February at 12 o'clock, SL, was re­ceived. Also, an invitation te the members of AssemblVjJio attend the Annual Meeting of the Society."

The Senate returned tho biU providing for an additional Justice in Ellsworth, amended. Also, the bill to authorize Boards of Supervisors to have a seal and making their proceedings evidence. [Both concurred in.

Mr. Palmer called up the resolution heretofore offered bv him, directing the Secretary of State to cause ballots for and against the Constitutional Amendments to be printed and distributed previous to the evening of tho 14th ins t , and to pay for printing §1 50 per M.

Mr. Lozier moved an amendment, .so as to print three times the number of favorable tickets that shall be printed of the adverse tickets. [Los t

Mr. Benedict moved to amend that the expense should not exceed S i 50 per thousand. [Agreed to.

Mr. S. F. Miller asked what was tho -necessity for printing these tickets ? f

Mr. Palmer replied that in ordinary ebctioss, candidates bore the expense of printing ballots. Aa there were no candidates running at this election, it was necessary to provide the,tickets from some other source.

Mr. D. P . Wood moved to amend to have tho tickets distributed 48 hours before the election. [Accepted.

Mr. S. F. Miller thought the expense should be borne by those likciy to be interested in the Canal Enlargement.

Mr, Boyd thought that 25 or 37} cents was an ordinary 'iirice for urinting ballots, and moved to a m e n a w i i m l t ,the pnce'tG Sfi-cents.

Mr. LitUojohn thought the amount included i n ' tho resolution was not too much hv^iicJmral dia. tricts. » . . ' ' ' « . ' . - .}. ,

Mr, S. E. Miller thought the price proposed to be paid was in keeping .with the whole measure;

Mr. Burnett advocated the resolution. The . in­terest of every individual was concerned in this measure, and the means for carrying it out should be furnished by the j-stato. .

Mr. Boy.d's amendment was los t j J I r t Wood's agreed to. , t

Mr. Danforth's"nurae having been called, said he bad voted agaufst the comnlitment of the* resolu­tions with instruetions in the hope they would go to a Committee untramelled. He Voted against tho amendment

Mr. Watkins was opposed to the substitute and the original resolution. He voted no.

The question was then on the resolutions as amended.

Messrs. Bishop and Williams spoke to the qucs-tioft—

Mr. M. H- Clark moved to reconsider the vote en adopting the amendment.

Mr. Dickinson movod to lay that motion on the table. [Agreed to, and the amendment was ordered printed.

The Secretary of State, hi reply to an order of the Senate, to transmit the bids for printing on file in his office, sent in a communication statuig^int they were not in bis office—having been transferred fi> the Comptroller's office.

Adjourned to 11 o'clock to-morrow morning. IS ASSEMBLY....MOX-DAV, February 6.

Mr. Hftrtis offered (joint) resolutions instructing members of Congress fiom this State to oppose the Senate's Nebraska bill. [Lies over.

Mr. Harris called up his resolution granting the Assembly Chamber to the 25th regiment! of Militia on the 22d instant^ for on oration.

Mr. Loader moved to amend by providing that it shall not interfere with the session of tho House. [Agreed to, and resolntion passed as amended.

In Committee of the Whole, Mr. S. Bladwin in the Chair, tho consideration of the bill to charter an asylum for inebriates, was resumed.

Mr". Peters moved to strike out all after the en­acting clause. Ucjthought the bill a stupendous fraud. He thought Governor Hunt's name might have been put in as a director without authority.

'Mr. Sessions assured the gentleman that Gov­ernor Hunt had expres^d his approbation of the project

Mr. Peters continued, objecting to the amount of capital allowed and the professed objects of the institution.

Mr. Benedict thought the object impracticable. The number of directors (forty-seven) would render the board unmanageable. The shares, were to be $10 each, and the corporation would have power to establish branches. There was also no individual liability of stockholders. 11 was a corporation that would never work.

Mr. Germain alluded to the provision allowing the holding of personal property without limit To pass this bill would he to creafe a dangerous cor­poration. \ .

Mr. Burnett also opposed the bill, l is objects were not even hinted at, while its powers were set forth with great particularity. There was no power reserved for its repeal.

Mr. Pruyn thought there was an excellent bank charter in this bill—better than the Xew Yoili, Manhattan or Dry Dock bank charters. Ho saw a!*o the names of several gentlemen named in the | bill as trustees, who had been connected wilh i banks which had heretofore exploded. Ho did I not doubt that Governor Hunt had never seen the j bill.

Mr. Sessions thought the ob> et of the bill was a desirable one. If Uiere were dangerous powers in it, they could be striken ou t r. --**

Without taking the cmestion, the Speaker an-" M.

MUSDAT, 3.^ o'clock.

Mr. Sessions moved to discharge the Committee of the Whole from the further, consideration of the bill for the suppression of intemperance, and to re­fer it t o a Select Coiouiitte'c of seven with power to report complete forthwith.

Tho motion was advocated by Messrs. Sessions, J . E. Willis, Joy, Lozier, Sterling and Peters, and opposed by Messrs. Germain, Leigh, Moselcy Hutch­inson, Burnett, Baker and Richards.

Mr. Lozier in the course of his remarks, gave notice that, upon the day which should bo fixed for the final vole upon this bill, hn should move for a call of the House, that there might be a full vote upon it.

Mr. nail explained that the Lead Mining, Com­pany have failed. He had no fear that the English company would make much money out of the properly, and he was willing that they should take hold and work the mines.

The bill was furtfjer debated by Messrs. Lozier and others. [Third reading.

He wished the House to act upon them promptly, without discussion and without crossing a t or dotting an i.

Mr. Benedict had heretofore given his opiniou on these subjects. He hoped t ho amendments would not prevail; and he called for the ayes aud noes on them.

By consent.-'tho House suspended tho Rperial order and went into Commii'o-- of the Whole, Jir. Hoyle in the Chair, ai.a «6nk up the bill to author­ize Railroad Corporation)! in this State to subscribe to the capital stock of the' Allegany Valley Rail­road in Pennsylvania.

Mr. Backus wished to ask whether thero was any guaranty that the rails of this Pennsylvania Railroad would not be torn up by public authority ? (Laughter.) [Third reading s

The House then went into Committee, Mr. Ben e-ho Chnir.and resumed the consideration of

nieut nt some length. Mr. Matthias Hutchinson also favored the de- '

struction flf the liquors. | Mr. Richards followed on the other side. | Mr. Wilder opposed theomendment. He main- ,

tained that these liquors were nothing but delete- \ iious poisons. f

Mr. Baker offered an amendment to the amend- ( , nient, providing that the proceeds pf liquors sold j by the officer should be paid over to the use of the | wife of the person forfeitiug the liquor. | Mr. \\. H. -Wood opposed both. ' j Mr. A'nken had not yet heard any good reason | I urged for the destruction of the liquor, except that j j it was to be iu the nature of a penalty. The i

amount of liquor forfeited by different individuals would W unequal, aud he doubted the propriety ' of imposing unequal and varying penalties. Gov­ernment is constituted, among other reasons, for j the protection of property. When Government i refuses such protection, the first objects of Govern- j incut are frustrated.

Mr. Richards reminded the House that there were 5,0(i(j licensed retailers of liquors in Xew York City, and 60,000 persons interested in the ' trade. . There are only 900 Policemen there, and j disturbances are likely to take place at the very i first funeral of the brandy-barrel. I

Mr. Petera supported the last amendment t ofi'erud. 9 - I

[Mr. Baker's amendment was agreed to, 43 to 35. | Mr. Clinton offered an amendment to the amend- !

Went, providing for the sale of the liquor at public auction.upon ten days notice. [Lost.

Mr. Peters moved to amend the amendment by allowing the proceeds of the sale to be paid to the daughter, sister, or mother of the culprit, if he have no wife. [Lost—27 to -12.

Mr. Boyd moved to amend tho amendment to .divide the forfeited liquor, among the opponents of the bill, in proportion to the amount of argument expended by them. [Out of order.

Mr. Mallory's amendment was then lost j i r . Speaker moved to amend by inserting pro­

visions allowing the turning over of- forfeited liquors, if they shall prove to be pure and unadul­terated, to tho Governors of Hospitals, GSmmis-sionvis of Ahns-houses,and Commissioners of Etfji- ; gration. Ho remembered that large sums had I been expended for liquors as a medicine for these establishments.

Mr. Leigh had had some experience as a mem- , her of the Xew York Grand Jury, in tho super- I vision of these public establishments. If the amendment should prevail thero will be glorious | times upon BlackwelFs Island. l i e hoped the ', mover would withdraw i t 1

Mr. Richards moved to amend tUe ameiiUutcut j so as to h«nd over the liquor to tho Trustees of | the United, (Suites Asylum for the reformation of ! destitute inebriates—a bill to incorporate which is ponding (n this House. .

Mr. Speaker modified his amendment so as to j confine tho use of liquor handed over to medicinal ! purposes, and to provide that if not fit for the use of the inmates of tho Hospital or Alms-house, it , shall bo destroyed. 1

Mr. Sterling wanted to know-how ' ' w a s t o *>c I diet in the the biU for the suppression of Intemperance. j ascertained that the forfeited liquor was pure and

Ifr. Harris opposed the amendment. His con­stituents had sent him here to pass a rigid law which Would suppress the vast^evi! of intemperance, and ho favored the destruction of the liquor.

Mr. Germain supported the amendment nnd rep­rehended the doctrine of deodands. The preser­vation of tho section of this biD as reported would seriously affect its popularity. *

Mr. Baker also favored it.' The bill itself recog­nized the utility and value of intoxicating liquors, and allows their sale by certain posgons. This provision for their_ destruction, nppears to have been inserted in a mere spirit of wantonness. Al­though he objected to tho section, he thought the amendment proposed Was not perfect Instead of paying the proceeds of tho sale of these Bquorafor the use of the poor, Why not appropriate thcin for the benefit of the wife and children of the offender ? He should like to ask the gentleman from Tomp­kins, who had admitted that he had once sold liquor, whether, since* his reformation, he had re­stored to the families of Ins- Customers the money received for the liquor?

Mr. Backus thought it was to the advantage of the public that the liquor could be destroyed, an advantage greater thaw, that which any pecuniary i*tunt ;ferit'WQflW-ensure.." : ' "*•

Mr. Speaker thought that the Magistrate, or the Physicians attached to the Alms-house,could ascer­tain this. Tho New York Commissioners of Emi­gration are in the habit of paying as high as $10,000 a year for these liquors,

Mr. Richards thought inequa l i ty of the liquor could be ascertained by appointing the Tasting Commissioners. (Laughter.) But he thought Xow York would furnish most of the seizures, and the confiscations made there should be turned over for the benefit of the Aims-house of that County.

Mr. Peters thought tho amount Jikely to be seized iu tho country would' be small, and would not pay for taking i f to die Poor-home. The easiest way to deal with this dog will bt> to cut off the tail just behind J h e cars. (Laughter.)

Mr. U. Miller thought tho delivery of tho liquor to the Alms-houses, &c., would ^plaee a. dangerous temptation before the inmates.^ ^

Mr. D. P . Wood favored tbe^amendment. Mr. Lozier also supported tjho amendment. He

thought it a simple question whether the people ehuuld pay for these liquors, necessary to be used as medicino or not.

Mr- Boyd did not think there was a drop of liquor pure and unadulterated in tho clty tof New York.

CACTION TO TRAVELERS.

j In the Massachusetts Supreme Court, in the case j of Catharine Cross versus the South Reading i Branch Railroad Company, recently tried, the jury, i after seventeen hours' deliberation, brought in a

verdict for the defendants. The plaintiff sued for damages of ? 10,000 for tho loss of an arm by being run over by the cars of the defendants.

The question at issue in the case was whether the accident was the result of plaintiff's careless­ness, or of .the negligence of the conductor of the train in starting just as the lady was hi the act of getting into a car. The depot master testified that as ho handed her the ticket and change he looked up and remarked that the train had started, when she rushed out for the cars. Tho conductor tes­tified that before he made ihe signal to start, he gave tho usual and proper notice, and that after h e bad himself got upon the train ho looked back and saw no one near the cars as if desirous to ge t on. The defence therefore argaeiJ6that after the train had attained headway the plaintiff attempted to get 6n and was run over, and that the injury she received was the result of her own careless­ness, for which the defendants were not. liable. JThe counsel for the plaintiff argued that tfiere was a want of care on the part of the conductor and engineer—the latter starting his train with a jerk which caused the plaintiff to fall from the car.

After "an able charge from the Court (Judge Merrick) on the duties of railroad companies and railroad passengers, the jury returned a verdict as above stated. '

The result is a. warning to railway travelers who are in the habit of jumping upon .'a train after It has attained headway, that if they lose an arm or leg they cannot expect remuneration,

On tho 31st of December the Porte made the ] following modification to the note of the Pour ,

Porte's terms were good and satisfactory. They were immediately Feitt off by courier to St. IV- j tcrsburgh, where they would arrive about ihe 19th.

Tho Porte's demand is, that Ihe note shall be ' definitely accepted or rejected within forty days from January the 2d, and the Prineipidiue? evac- ;

On the 12th of January the British and French I Ministers at St. Pctcrsburgk also communicated I ' to the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs the en-j try of the allied fleet into the Black Sea. The i i Czar's reply was not" known when i h e Arabia •

Parliamentary preparations arc beginning. Lord Aberdeen was to read the Queen's Speech

\ to a private meeting of Government supporters i on the 30th January, the speech being pie\iou-Jv | revised by the Privy Council.

Exertions are also making I ( to man the navy, and more ships, ai-e fitting out, i but apparently to land forces. '• J The French and English funds are extremely , I sensitive, and had fluctuated greatly under the ! I various flying rumors. \ j The Government has agreed to send out two I stoamer3 under Captain Inglefield,- t o renew the, ;
