of Taree Roman Catholic Bishops in St. Patrick’s Cathedral—A Grand Spectacle of Religion. We are requested by His Holiness the Pope, to way, that the consecration of the Rt. Rev. Drs. Quarter, Bran, and McCuosxey, will tuke place at the Cathedral to-day. The ceremony will com- mence at 9o’clock. The Rt. Rev. Bishop Hvenss of New York will be the consecrator; and the Rt: Rey. Bishops of Boston and Philadelphia the assistants. In consequence of the preparations to be made for the consecration, the early masses will be in the chayel; and the church itself will not be open- ed before 8 o'clock. The consecration sermon will be preached by | the Very Rev. Dr. Power, and a discourse will be delivered at vespers,in the evening, by the Rev. Dr. Pise. This consecration will be one of the most splen- did religious spectacles that ever took place in New York. A full report of the sermon of Dr. Powers, and the discourse of Dr Pise, with a full descrip- tion of the rites, audience, and every thing else, will be given in to-morrow’s He- rald. ceremoni O'Connell's Speech. This speech which we give to our readers this day, we yesterday published exclusively in the Weekly Herald. We thus send it all over the coun- try in advance of any other newspaper establish- ment. The speech was looked for with considerable in- terest. We do not think it, however, at all equal to many of O’Connell’s former oratorical efforts. It contains a large amount of characteristic egotism and fanfaronade, mixed up with the staple ma- terials of half a dozen of his old House of Com- mons’ speeches on the state of Ireland. Certainly not much new or original matter could have been expected, anti the able and eloquent speeches of Sheil and Whiteside, had taken off a great deal of the freshness of the excitement, growing out of the circumstances of the trials. It is not atall likely that the jury had agreed up- ona verdict. The probability is that they have been discharged, and that the prosecutions will be dropped. The agitation will very rapidly cool down, and O'Connell having got his rent, and es- caped from the embarrassments which before the trials seemed crowding around him, will return to his “duties,” save the mark, in Parliament, and amnse the “‘finest peasantry in the world” by hopes of “instalments,” of liberty and justice from the government. We can only repeat here, whilst reiterating the expression of our sincerest sympathy for the wrongs and sufferings of Ireland, the opinion which we have so often stated, that a general revolution in the United Kingdom, will be the only means of giving to the people of that portion of the empire, as well asof all others, those accessions to their civil rights and privileges which reason and justice and the age demand, and securing to them that measure of prosperity and happiness which equal, just, enlightened and free government bestows. ‘Tue State Parties tn our Ciry.—The near ap- proach of the Charter Election has brought forth the energies of the three prominent parties of this city during the past week, and many new develop- ments have therefore transpired. The Whigs have placed in nomination for Mayor, Morris Franklin, one of ithe State Senators from this district, who is well known asa gentleman of much ability, sound moral principles, and extremely popular, particular- ly in the fire department of our city. The Whig party are well organized, and will make a deter. mined effort to secure the election of Franklin, and carry the Common Council. In the meantime, the American Republican par- ty, that sprung into existence last fall, and carried terror and alarm into the ranks of both Whigs and Democrats, has been shaken to its centre by inter- nal commotion and division among themselves, through the bad management of many of their leaders. They have nominated candidates for charter officers in nearly all the wards of the city, and appear determined also to bring their own nag into the field to contest the mayoralty. Mr. Harper, the publisher, and Mr. Cornell, stand at the head of their list, one of whom will in all probability be nominated on Monday evening at the meeting of the delegates. To ensure suc- cess they should unite upon Franklin, and secure his election. The Democrats assemble in the se- veral wards of the city on Wednesday evening next, to select delegates to nominate a candidate for Mayor, and also for charter officers. Nearly all the democratic members of the present board of aldermen will withdraw from the contest, and nearly all the assistants are in the field for promo- tion to their seats Mayor Morris is not a candi- date for re election. There are several ready to take his place, however, and among the most pro- minent we find Jonathan J. Coddington, late the efficient post-master of this city, an excellent busi. ness man, and one who would receive the confi- dence of the whole community, if elected. Then follows Elijah F. Purdy, alderman of the tenth; Eli Moore, ex-member of Congress; James R ‘Whiting, District Attorney, &c., &c., each of whom will labor hard to secure the post of honor, and unsuccessful, would be quite as ready to sup- dort Mr. Coddington, who, we believe, will re- ceive the sanction of old Tammany. New Fovrrer Movement.—The apostles of the*new revelation of religion and philosophy, be- coming alarmed at the feeling of abhorrence so generally created against the repulsive doctrines of their great master, Charles Fourier, respecting Christianity, marriage, and so on, have come out in their organ, the T'ritwne, with a great many very solemn asseverations, that they do not admit these vices. For some time they flatly denied that Fourier held such doctrines, but unable to perse- vere in that summary way of disposing of the ob- jections urged against their system, they now adopt another system of tactics. Afterall, John A. Collins, on the banks of the lovely lake of Sken- eateles, is the most honest philosopher among them. ‘Tus Bronsontan Paicosorny.—Professor Bron- son is fully a match for Greeley, Brisbane, or Chan- ning. His last lecture was devoted chiefly to the sublime doctrine of the transmigration of souls, and the Professor discovered that he indeed knew a thing or two about our spiritual nature. On the divine influxes and efflaxes—the microcosm—as- trology—and the occult sciences generally, Bron- Son is, we think, a little ahead of the Fourierites, but then on marriage, the ‘ sensuous harmonies,” the “industrial army,” and the “juvenile philan- thropic hordes,” he is not fit to hold a candle to the least amongst these philosophers of the Tribune school. Parp Ur.—The persons who called and attended the District Meeting at the house of Widow Lynch in Frankfort street, for the purpose of sending a de- legate to a convention that was to have been held in Philadelphia in July next, and who forgot to call and setile for the use of the room and gas, sent a little boy, the day we called their attention to the fact, who paid over the amount due. The amiable widow pocketed the long lost and never expected sum, saying, “its better late than never.” Mai. rox Boston.—Adams & ‘Co. and the Bos ton steamer, leave at 7 o’clock tl.is morning. Boston Hannon Orey.—The steamer General Lincoln made her first trip last Fridey. We received last evening the important intelli- gence from Washington of the settlement of the Oregon Question. It seems that this important question has been entirely taken out of the hands of the President and Mr. Packenham, and sum- marily, definitively, finally and eternally disposed of by ‘Long John,” of Illinois, in the following manner :— iples that should govern usin the ad- mis-ton of Texas, and the possession of Oregon. This is the most important era in our history since we became a free and independent na- tion. The present Congress of the United States have a greater responsibility resting upon them than any preceding Congress, since the organiza- tion of our government. Two questions now pre- sent themseves to the consideration and action of our government, of vital importance, not only to the many millions of our people, now living, but to the hundreds of millions, yet unborn, who are to come after us, and who are to be aflected, for good or for evil, by our acts. These two questions are, the annexation of Texas to the United States, and the property and posses- sion of the Oregon territory. They are questions that intimately affect the destiny of these United States, and they deserve, and no doubt will receive the deepest and most profound attention of our go- vernment. In the consideration of these subjects we hope the most liberal and enlightened system of policy, will be observed. If this principle is applied, in determining the question, whether Texas shall be admitted into the Union or not, we have no fears for the result. And it ought to be applied. It is with pain we perceive a disposition, manifesting itself in the north and east, at variance with this enlightened and liberal policy. We see local jea- lousies and sectional prejudices in various quarters. This is very wrong. It,is not a local or « question. It is purely national dc o be considered in reference to the inte re of the people of the United yt to a part of them. d not only refit to the people v living, bufto their remote posterity, who sha! come after them. The most bitter enemies to the annexation of Tex- as to be tound in our country are ‘he abolitionists ! But with what propriety or reas ve cannot see. It has been shown by vario in our public journals, that the evils © con- siderably lessened by the annc ould be adrain for the evil, in our sc uddle States. They (the slaves) would gradually find their way to the southern borders of our extended empire, which would mutually promote the interest and happiness of the slave and the slaveholder. There is another class of persons, we fear, do not look at this subject in its true light. They do not take a liberal and enlightened view of it. They seem to think we have territory enough—that it is already too large! The views of such persons are much too contracted. They only look at the pre- sent—they do not see into futurity. The same rea- sons were given against the acquisition of Louisi- ana; and the same reason might be, and probably was given, when we were but thirteen States, against increasing them. The truth is, there is no ground for this oppositinn to the annexation. If we do not now, we shall soon want more territory. ‘* Compactness is strength,” and Texas borders upon us, and her people are our sons, brothers, fa- thers and relatives. The liberal and enlightened view we wish our government to take of this subject, ought toextend to all its consequences. And this willembrace our foreign relations. It is said that Mexico will de- clare war against us if we receive Texas into the Union. We believe there is some foundation for this opinion among some of our people. Indeed we believe Mexico has already threatened it. We look at this as one of the consequences of uniting Texas to us, but we look at it with the indifference and contempt that power witnesses the ravings of imbecility and weakness, If the law of nature, the law of nations, and the law of God, give aright to the acquisition of Texas, the feeble and futile threats of Mexico will pass unheeded by us, Another of the consequences of annexing Texas to the United States, a liberal and enlightened policy should take into consideration. It issaid by some that Great Britain will by no means consent that we shall extend our territory along the Gulf of Mexico. That her intimate relations with Mexico, who is her ally, will not permit her to look on and see the transfer. That it will provoke a war between England and the United States! We do not believe it. But we do believe that England herself has an itching palm—that sie now stands ready and willing to take this delightful and fruitful country under her protection, and place her in colonial alliance and dependence, and we believe her relations with Mexico very much favor her views in acquiring this new republic. We should, therefore, look at this subject in all its bearings, and see its nature, connection and relation. A liberal and enlightened view of it will, we think, disembarrass it of those supposed difliculties and objections we have mentioned. ilaving cleared it of the supposed difficulties and obstacles, the next consideration are its benefits and advantages to us asa nation. They are eo numerovs,and have been so amply detailed in the journals of the day, that it would be a mere repetition to repeat them here. So also the same liberal and enlightened policy should guide us ia our decision in relation to the possession of the disputed territory of Oregon. It is with some depression of national pride, that we see a disposition evinced in some portions of our western and southern borders, to take foreible and military potsestion of the territory, at the very mo- ment the two claimants are entering into a treaty in respect to the property and possession. We are sorry to see this spirit prevail in any portion of our country. Iteandono good, and may be the origin of mach evil. We are as tender of national honor and glory as others can be. We would not sacii- fice a particle of it. We would not give upa foot of Oregon to Great Britain, even if it were a bar- ren rock, if it rightly belonged to us. We would exhaust the last cartridge box in claiming and de- fending it, but if it does not belong to us, if our title to it is not good, we would not have it, if the territory was a paradise filled with all the beauti- ful growths of nature. We would, as we said be- fore, apply to this question an enlightened and libe- ral policy; but that policy should be directed and controlled by the eternal principles of truth and justice. If the land be ours, we would have it; and we would have it at the expense of our blood. We would fight for it? If it be not ours, we would not have it, though forced upon us. And whether it be ours or not will depend upon the strength of the titles of the claimants, which is now in the act of being shown. The treaty will exhibit the rights of the respective parties. We should then wait for the issne of the treaty, and not permit our pa- triotic zeal and love of country to neutralize those principles we have been speaking of. VIGATION Open.—The schooner Native, Capt. from Yorkstown, New York, arrived at this port on Frida: with a general cargo.

ER, Morwer axp Cutty Burnep to Deata- Friday evening about half past 1 o'clock, Lewis ‘Truschel, a German eabinet maker, occupying the lower part of the, house 173 Chrystie street, discov- ered the premises on fire in his workshop, which was on the ground floor, and immediately gave the alarm. From the combustible materials on the premises, the flames spread with great rapidity,and his family eseaped with nothing but their nigh’ clothes. The second story was occupied by another German cabinet maker named Jacob Eller, with his wife (Wilkelmina and infant child Caroline. ~The house was soon entered by the fire- men and neighbors, when, to the horror of all who had assembled, it was ascertained that the three last named persons had been burned to death. The husband having been found suffocated on the floor in the third story, and the wife and child on the platform of the second story, from whence it is supposed they were issuing as the flames overtook The pulse of the husband had not ceased to beat when he was discovered, but he expired He was but little burned, and is supposed to have died from suffoca- tion by the smoke. ‘The wife and child were much burned, althongh it is to be presumed that the for- mer was stopped in her escape by suffocation from smoke The premises were much burned, and nearly all the furniture in the house belonging to the several inmates, was destroyed. The coroner held an inquest yesterday on the three bodies, previous to which much inquiry and speculation were entered into as to the manner in which the fire had beencommunicated —Truschel, who occupied the first floor, and in whose shop the fire was discovered, stated that he closed the shop at about 6 o’clock in the afternoon, but passed through it with a light several times alterwards during the evening. He also stated that he was not insured, and that there had been no ill feeling between him and Eller, the deceased ‘Another witnesstestified that deceased had work- ed for Truschel. as a journeyman, some time since, and that he owed deceased $100 forhis labor, which debt had given rise to disputes between them at different times—that he had heard Truschel order deceased to move out of the house, which he re- fused, saying that he would stay and get that much rent for the money due him. ‘These contradictory statements with other strange peculiarities of the case, have induced ua to give the testimony taken before the Coroner, in full, in order that a proper conclusion can be obtained, if possible, from the evidence. i The Coroner held the inquest at the house of Thomas Bauchl«, No, 26 Delancey street, and sum- moned the following jurors:— John D. Bentwell, Phineas Cook, jr. John D, Newman, Thomas Wallace, George A. Cofey, Hugh Riley. George W. Lee, €. T. Bullwinkle, Robert Bell, John MeCrink, James &.. King; ‘A Passman, JT.

A pickpocket, when caught in crime in a public assem- hlage, witnout sufficient to secure his safe keeping before the police, should be compelled to run the gauntlet of the whole party present.

And New York seems to be the very J » from. which spreads, to the various sections of the coun- try, the great number of social, moral, and political fevers that rage in our land. We can account in some measure for this. Our people are peculiar We have no national character. Our population ix made up of all the various tongues and people of the earth. We are all emigrants; and the only difference between us, is, that some came to this country a shert period before others, and some have become citizens and some have not. The mass of our population is various and discordant. [t requires time to assimilate them. This is, no Joubt, one of the causes of our excitability. We pursue our individual interests, with an activity and zeal, far beyond that known to any other na- tion. Where all are adventurers, and all seeking their private fortunes, and stimulated by individual interests, the most active and persevering energies will be continually applied. Our people are re- markable for the prevalence of this spirit among them, We account for many of the evils we shall mention to this cause. Our political strife. rises higherthan among nations around us; our religious contests are more bitter. Our domestic and local controversies are more violent, owing no doubt, in a great measure, to the various character of our population. We will,however omit these subjects, and direct the readers attention to some of our local peculiarities and eccentricities of character. Our city isfilled with foreigners, of every degcrip- tion, tongue and nation. It is the commercial em- porium, where most of the dead population land, and where a great many of them remain. The population has no marked*or predominate character. The aggregated opinion and judgment are continu- ally influenced by the discordant parts of which they are formed. Wesee this in all the public acts and in- eidents of the day. If we have an interesting trial in our courts,there is sure to be what the frequenters of those places call a “jam.” Ifa preacher of any no- toriety and fame appears among us,the churches ere crammed to overflowing. A mock scientific dis- play, or a public procession, will be sure to call out the town. We run after baubles. We follow too touch the vanities and follies of life, and leave the solid and useful parts of it, for the ornamental and frivolous! We have quacks and pretenders among us without number. It is said, this is an age of quackery, and we might add, this is the very point of its locality. Here they swarm. And we might add, here they gather the honey. Most of them leave us with their pockets filled with money Their places, however, are seon supplied by new retenders to skill, in some of the arts or sciences. Chere is no interregnum ; the succession is con- tinuous, and the drain upon our pockets perpetual The mania of bi awed has been upon us fora long time. The lingering disease still enfeebles us, although there are distinct marks of convalescence, and an ultimate and final cure. Phrenology still has its advocates, although they are few and tar be- tween. Neenee was 7ife among us last winter, but is now locked up in tae breasts of its few gift- ed professors. The dancing mania, or as some called it, the “poetry of the heels,” had posses- sion of the town during its prevalence in our city, and rose to a furor. It was succeeded by the phre- no mnemotechnic excitement, under which we are still suffering mE ACHe rush to it as if it contained a preservative for all their knowledge. And now at this very moment, there is an advertisement in our journals inviting the people to hear a lecture on universal philosophy, in which the connection, relation, and nature of all things, are to be given ? The curiosity of our people is insatiable; the makers and venders of horehound candy and dis- ease healing lozenges are becoming rich; the peo- ple run after them as if they contained some life- preserving influence. We wish we could remove those evils from us. We wish our people would look more to the sub- stantial and really useful things of this lite, and give legs attention and time to the mere frivolous and fashionable follies of the day The reform would be most salutary, and the effects of it most beneficial. We know of no remedy for these evils but avoiding them. If we seek and run after these dissipatera of our time and money, the evil will continue. While the pretender can obtain an au- dience there will be quacks enough to fill all the places. While there are purchasers, the worthless wares will be sold. There is no cure for the evil, but neglect. Empty benches is the only antidote, to the monomania of the heated pretender. It is a cooling palliative to his morbid and ignorant en- thusiasm. When the profits are withdrawn the quack will retire. These things have banished wholesome literature and useful science from our lecture rooms and places of instruction. People beets tu sce with surprise und indignation, the halls of literature and science deserted, when a man of intelligence and scientific attainments is the chair? We could not do a greater benefit, to our people than by warning them of these evils, and warinly recommending the attainment of more use- ful and substantial knowledge.* Accipsntatty Kinuep.—A man named Thomas Hall, who has been employed in Colgate’s soap manufactury in Dutch street, died yesterday from injuries received by falling from the top of a ladder, which he ascended forthe purpose of fixing a block used in the manufactory. He was a native of Ire- land, aged about 26 years, and resided with his family at 219 Cherry street. Arrival or THE DeLawark.—The U 8. ship De- laware, Captain Charles S. McCauley, bearing the broad pennant of Commodore Morris, arrived in Roads, from the Mediterranean yesterday afternoo! Ovlaware was ordered fur Boston by Secretary Henshaw, hut from the circumstance of her having received on board a quantity of ponderous statuary to be delivered at Washington, and in consideration of the manifest blunder of the wonrerayy in ordering a ship of war to a northern port in the depth of winter, it seems that Commore Mor- ris has taken the responsibility of steering for the Cheaa- peake, ond making a port at the Nortolk station, where his noble ship was built, and where we have had little or no ice this winter, except what was bronght from Boston. Norfolk Herald, March 6. Srriovs Joxe.—The Pittsburg Chronicle has heard of a wedding, which some days since took place at Lawrenceville, near that city, which was intend. vd as a joke, but which has been declered binding, as the parties were lawfully * J vined together” by an Alderman, who, also, in addition tu his other duties, preaches occa- sionally. ‘The parties are respectable and wealthy are every way worthy ofeach other. It was the result of a banter on the part of the lady, which was promptly complied with on the part of the young man, by his otfer- ing to go immediately and have the ceremony performed. They went to the Alderman, communicated to him their business, and in “Jess than no time” he went through the martiage ceremony, and declared them ‘man and wife.” But when the functionary requested them to kneel down with him for prayer, the parties hesitated, and inquired of him whether he had really Jawfully married them. ‘To this he replied in the affirmative, and they left his office much alarmed at what they had done, and which they inter.ded fora joke. Whether they have agreed to together as Tag | should, we have not learned. It has heen the occasion, however, of some considerable “ town talk” for the last few days. Prorrr anp Loss on Horers.—The extensive hotel establishment at Picolata, East Floride, built by Ralph King, at an expense, includizg furniture, $13,000, together with 340 acres of land, was offered for sale in this city, a few days ago, under the direction of the Planters’ Bank at Sava and was bid in by their agents at $1000, the furniture at $00. Great Names.—Alexander Hamilton petitions the Legislature of Massachusetts to allow him to lustrions a name with inferior productions, He also res- fully thinks that it the Legislature will grant his pray- rrit will ‘operate as a rebuke to the foolish practice o nnrdening children with high sounding names Among the unhappy und ludicrous consequences of which, we have read in the papers “John Quincy Adams” brought up by the watch in some southern city, charge with being found drank in the street at midnight; and Marcus Morton” was sent to the house of correction in for stealing a box of smoked herrings.— New: or Weatner tx Canapa.—Yesterday there was a considerable elevation of temperature, with a thaw, and in the evening a smart fall of rain. ‘The conse. quences were, overflowing streets, flooded footpaths and ground floors, and a series of chutes or avalanches of the accumulated snows of the winter from roofs, The latter were, some of them, very formidable in quantity, but we heard of no mischief beyond mashing of « few windows, principally in St. Paul and Notre Dame stre March 2 Tre IL1ino1s.—The Peoria Register of the 23d, says navigation to this point is resumed.

Stone und Turner ride a double act, called the two Hus- sara. Stone rides anew Indian act.

The repeated cuaxars inthe armosrHenx, by AcTiNG a8 THEY Doupon the consistence and quality of the Loop irseLe, give occasion for the most fatal and malig- nant disorders. The bile becomes (and often without any warning) in a most acrimonious condition from these re- peated changes, and if the stomach and bowels have been neglected previously, the first symptoms require imme- diate attention. To remove the infirmities to which the human frame is linble, no medicine has been found so ef- fectual as Brandreth’s Vegetable Universal Pilla, which are known by the experience of thousands, to perfectly cleanse the Dlood of all foulness, remove every morbid affection, and renovate weak and enfeebled constitutions to perfect health and vigor. r.

W Bleecker, Treasurer. B. Hart, Secretary. The receipts at the Custom House for this port for the week ending this evening, amount to about $453,000, part of which is estimated. The packet ship Liverpool—one of the largest packets belong- ing to this city—from Liverpool ; the Toronto, from Lon- don, and atransient ship from Livepool, arrived today with very large and valuable cargoes They willall be entered next week, which will swell the receipts to @ very largeamount. During the present week the imports have been large, but not to the extent a few weeks since exhibited. Several French packets are due and daily ex- pected—ell of which have very valuable cargoes. By the arrival of the packet ship Liverpool, from Liver. pool, at an carly hour this morning, we received European advices up to the 7th ult, ‘The commercial news is of a vory favorable nature. The excitement in the Cotton mar. ket had subsided, and the sales were principally confined to the trade, Of 6000 bales sold on the 5th 5000 were for consumption. Prices were, however, firmly maintained the great abundance of meney in all parts of Europe is rapidly reducing the rate of interest, In London and Pa ria{there is more capital than can possibly be employed ‘The great decrease in the line of discounts and the small ‘amount out on loan compared with former years, is un- rmer disease. It is warranted to remove all impu- | precedented. Notwithstanding the existence of this state of things,‘ all, branches of trade unusnally active, ‘and all classes actively employed fat goodjwages. The manufacturers of Kngland,end France were running full time. ‘The efiect of the European advices on this market, is just contrary tothe nature ofthe news. Cotton has be- come very inactive, and prices are giving way to the be- nefit of purchasers, The three, great speculative opers- tions have exploded, and movements have subsided into regular steady course. Cotton, real estate and stocks, have had their day, for a time at least. There was not suf- ficient fuel to keep the heat upto a fever point. The specu- lators could not command the means to absorb the sup- plies of all these things that came into the market. Money is plenty enough, but it is not sufficiently concentrated to enable any clique to control large sums. It is distributed through all departments of trade, and is kept in c@stant activity. 'This fact kept down those speculative @herators who would otherwise derange the movements of com- merce, produce overtrading and bankruptcy to as great an extent as marked former attempte of a similar nature.— The cotton excitement rested on a very weak foundation. ‘The speculation was caused entirely by reports from fo- reign markets, ‘To have carried it on more successfully, the advance should have commenced and been carried out atthe South. The New Orleans market should have go- verned prices for Liverpool. Instead of this,reports of short supplies were sent abrond, and efforts made to run up prices in Europe. This would not have been the system the old United States Bonk would have adopted. That institution went into the market as alarge purchaser. It monopolised the stock on hand, and established prices for the world. Speculators and consumers at home and abroad, were compelled tocome up to their rates, or go without supplies. It had the means to take this stand, and prices, asa natural consequence, advanced accordingly. The power wielded by that institution does not now There is not that abundance of paper afloat, and it is impossible to get up again such a monoply- ‘Theplanters will not suffer themselves to be again de- ceived in like manner. Their confidence is lost, and they have, to a great extent, become their own factors. Ten bales of cotton are now shipped, on planters’ account, where there was not one in former years. 80 long as the currency of the United States and Great Britain remains on the besis on which it is now formed—so long as neither country goes to extremes in the regulations of their circulating medium, it will be an impossibility to get up any great bubble that will at all endanger the le- gitimate movements oftrade. We have great confidence in commercial affairs as they now exist, and would regret any legislation that wouldalter them. The bill which has been so long under consi. deration in the Michigan House of Representatives, pro- viding for the sale of the public works for State bonds was brought to a settlement by a vote of 26 yeas and 23 nays. It requiring two-thirds vote to become a law, it was lost. ‘The banks of Ohio have their charters merely amended forthe time they have to run. The Wooster Bank char- ter expires in 1950, that of the Lafayette in 1854, and the Xenia in 1800. The Legislature of that State have still under consideration several bank bills. One proposes a Free banking law, and anothera State Bank, with a ca- pital of $10,000,000, with branches in different sections of th te. Two bills have been introduced into the Senate of Michi- gan making appropriations for the works of internal‘im provement. One from the majority, and one from the mi- nority of the committee on the public works. Section one of the majority bill makes the following ap- propriations ; 64,000 acres of land to finish the Central ailroad between Marshal and Kalamazoo; 64,000 acres for the further construction of the Southern railroad; 10.000 acres for the improvement of the St. Joseph river: 5,000 acres tor the improvement of Grand river; 10,000 for tho construction of the Northern turnpike; 10,000 for the con- stuction of the Clinton Canal west of Pontiac; 6,000 for the improvement of the Shiawassee river; 5,000 for the im- provement of Flint river. ‘Sec. 2 provides, that in payment of all estimates upon contracts made in pursuance of the act, the Auditor eral shall draw a scrip, not bearing interest, and receiva- ble at the land office in payment for internal improvement lands.
