Another emigration has crossed the Rocky Mountains and most of the party have arrived in the settlements. About one hundred ms reached this place very early in Barlow's road, for which'a charter was granted him at your last session. About one hun- dred wagoDs are on their way, if they have not already arrived in the upper settlements, by a southern route; they have no doubt been detained by travelling a new route; the difficulties attending the opening a wagon road are very great, and probably will account in some measure for thelr detention. The emigration falls far short of last year's, probably not numbering over one thousand souls. This is accounted for b at part of the emigration turning off to California; we trust that those who have come in among us may have no cause to regret the decision that brought them to Oregon.— 1 would call your attention to the subject of educa- tion; without education no country can be prosperous; it therefore becomes the duty of the legislature to pro- vide liberally for the education of the rising generation.

An Englishman of fortune, and of some im- portance in his own country, visited the United States about a year since, and made a tour over the whole country, for the purpose of forming an opinion of his own, irrespective of those uttered by the horde of Maryatts, who have so much slandered and belied us, on our national charae- ter and on our institutions. He visited the North, the South, the East, and the West—spending more of his time in the last mentioned part of our country than in any of the other portions. He arrived in New York recently, and sought the residence of an American merchant, to whom he brought letters of introduction from his corres- pondent in England. After he had somewhat rested himself, and while he was enjoying a glass of generous wine inthe parlor of the American merchant, that gentleman asked the English traveller to state to him his impressions of the country he visited. The Englishman, more honest than the majority of his countrymen, expressed himself delighted with our majestic rivers and our vast inland seas ; was peculiarly eloquent on the vast re- sources of the-United States, and the facilities it possesses of being the greatest country on the face ofthe world. Now, said the merchant, tell me can- didly what isyour opinion of American character. After emptying his wine glass, however, and pretending to admire the patern of the carpet, he recovered himself, and said :--‘*Well, to tell you the candid truth, 1am puzzled about it. I have not yet made up my mind on the subject. *1 see a great deal in it to admire, but I cannot say that Ladmuire it as a whole. Another year’s travel might, perhaps, indeed | am simost sure it would, induce me to admire it in ¢ At present I am prepared to say, that you Yankees, as we call you in England, are a very enterprising people. You will make the dollars, come what will. If a steamboat blows up on the Mississippi, some one of your nation will the very next day pub- lish to the world the virtues of a patent safety valve, which will effectually pre- vent a recurrence of the disaster, if every vessel will have one attached. Last winter a vessel was lost in the Sound, and lo and behold, the papers next day were eloquent about a newly patented life preserver. No sooner is the want of a thing felt than the thing required is invented and patented and paraded, with certificates at- tached, inevery part of the country. In additionto this,” said he, ‘your ton is only twenty hundred pounds, whereas ours is twenty-two hundred and forty. I suppose you Yankees did not wish to be troubled with the odd numbers. Yes, on the whole you are a very smart and enterprising people.” Our American friend was astonished, but he admitted to the Englishman that his descriptien of American character was true to the letter, as far as business 18 concerned; but he wished to know his friend’s opinion of the American cha- racter in a social point of view. The Englishman could not answer, and gave as his reason that he had not had opportunity of forming aa opinion of itin that respect. But is not the English- man’s opinion af us in a busin@ss point of view, nearly right? We confess we think so. Invention and industry are ever wide awake in the United States, No sooner is one channel of enterprise opened, than it itis sought out and occupied instanter by in- numerable candidates for fortune’s favors—many of whom reap the rewards of their exertions, while the less fortunate ones look about for an- other channel. We have been induced to write thus much, by the alacrity with which a new bueiness has been opened by the establishment of a line of steamers between this country and France. ‘The first of the line was not made fast to our wharf, when out comes an advertisement, that Ostrander & Co., No. 10 Wall street, were making arrange- ments to establish an express line by the French steamers, between this city, Paris, and the inter- mediate points, and that they will now receive orders for books, newspapers, or any other nic- nacs in their line of business, and will execute them with promptness. Was not the Englishman right? Another word. It is this spirit of energy and en- terprise, which has ‘made this country what it is. Let us encourage it, by all means.

Tu Recertioy oF tHe Boston Finemen.—The recep- tion of the Boston firemen, “ Perkins’ Company, No. 16, yesterday, was quite an event for these dull times. At an eurly hour in the morning, hundreds of persons had col- lected on the Battery, drawn thither by the double in- ducement of seeing the reception and enjoying the de- lightful breeze which came refreshing from the bay. It had been generally understood that the Bostonians were coming on in the “Bay State,” and consequently all eyes were strained to get a glimpse of that boat; but she did not come, or at any rate had not arrived up to the time the firemen left the Battery. The Perkinses, how- ever, arrived safely on board the Oregon; and at about 9 o’vlock were received in due form by Washington Com- pany No, 20, of this city, whose guests the Boston fire- menare, Previous to the formalities of the reception, several Fugine sad Hose Companies, accompanied by bross binds, had arrived on the Battery and formed a line along the walk next the water, observing the follow- ing order:—Hose cart No. 4, engine No. 8, hose cart No. LA, hose cart}No, 12, Hose cart No, 13, and engine No, 19. Theee companies having stretched along the outer walk, wore passed in review by the/oompantes of the Perkins (Boston) and the Washington. Marching salutes were exchanged; after which,the column formed and marched around the side of the Battery to Whitchall‘and up through the center walk to the gate opposite Greenwich street. ‘They then passed up through Greenwich, Fulton, Nassau and Chatham streets and the Bowery, crossed town via Bleecker street, and came down through Hudson and Chambers serects to Broadway, down Broad- way to Liberty street, and thence up the nearest route to No, 20°s house in Cedar street, where they left the engine (No. 20) and proceeded with all possible des- patch tothe Shakspeare hotel, where the visiters were to beentertained. The long walk of the morning made tho repast, which had been prepared, most acceptable. It is needlessito sayhow the liquids vanished or the viands disappeared. Every thing appeared to have been done as it should be, and both the entertained and the enter- tainers were soon in the enjoyment of feelings of the most perfect amity not only with each other but with all the world. Ifthe Perkins company is a tair specimen of Boscon fireman, that city has reason to be proud of the department. A finer looking set of fellows needs not to be seen—there were forty of them, and to their credit, beit said, their manners, their ordinary action, is just opposite to that kind of swagger known as “galas,” und which said swagger, by the way, it would be well for all firemen, whether of New York, Albany, Philadelphia, Baltimore, or elsewhere, to drop. The uniform of the Bostonians is similar to those worn by our own firemen ‘They were dressed yesterday morning in blue pants with Indian rubber bottoms ; their red shirts were worn over white ones, the collars of which were turned down over their shoulders, black cravats, suspenders with the figure 16 on white leather relieved by black, and Irather caps painted red and ornamented with gold leaf, completed their dress, Each man had a fatigue cap slung at his back, and several members of the company carried axes ‘and other light implements useful to men engaged in ex- tinguishing fires. The music which accompanied the procession was excellent, and deserves a special First came the band, which accompanied No. . The performers wore dressed in ordinary citizen: dress, and we did not learn their name, but were forcibl impressed with the fact that that tuey discoursed excel- lent music, Next came the Boston Brass Band. too well known to need praise at this Inte day; it is sufficient to say that they did no discredit to their reputation by their performances of yesterday. There wero two other bands, and all were good, We have no doubt but that the Boston firemen and musicians will go home enter- taining towards their bréthren of Gotham the most ar- dent feelings of kindness, The members of the Perkins Compauy will remember the warmth of the day, if they do not remember it warmly. ‘The thermometer at 90 in the sh de, their march of five or six miles was indeed a wart aifair. We don’t know whether he remembered his warm walk, when one of the Boston boys said to one of No 20's men, “I hope we shall have an opportunity to see you work your machines before we go home.” Rather an equivocal wish that; but it was no doubt a professional one, and meant no more than did the un- dertaker’s remark, when he replied to the physician's query, of “how is business?” with “pretty good, I thank ou.” We should certainly like to let our Eastern neighbors sve how our firemen do things, but we cannot exactly subscribe to his “hope” that the occasion may occur, Suir Fever.—The Coroner was called to hold an in- quest at No, 90 Pitt street, on the body of Ann Cassello, a native of Ireland, aged about 60 years, who came to her death by typhusfever. Verdict accordingly. ‘Tue Wratnen.—We had a heavy storm of hail, rain, thunder and lightning, yesterday afternoon, about 5 o'clock. ‘The huil stones came down thick and heavy, and some of them were as large asa cherry. The atmos- phere cleared off avout 6 o'clock, when the thermometer stood at 82 degrees inthe shade. In the early part of the day it stood at 91} degrees at Delatour’s, in Wall street Farstex's Cuvv.—The Farmers’ Club, which was to have assembled yesterday, as one of the regular days of meeting, was postponed until Tuesday next. Tur Crivese Junx.—We find it necessary to inform the public that the Chinese Junk will not be exhibited at any other place than Castle Garden, She will leave Quarantine this morning, deeorated In a splendid man- ner, with Chinese flag and emblems, and in coming up the’ bay will salute the vessels in the harbor. Sho will arrive at about eleven o'clock, and be moored to the out- side pier of Castle Garden.’ A splendid view of her coming up the bay can be obtained from that place.— ‘The steamboat D. C. Pell will tow her to the city. Porsonry ny Mistaxe.—Coroner Walters was called yerterday to hold an inquest at the New York Orphan Asylum,on the body of Elizabeth Tyler, a native of Con- neclicut, aged 32 years, a nurse inthe before named in- stitution, who came to her death by taking a quantity of Startar) emetic. by mistake for cream of tar- tar. It appears from the evidence adduced before the coroner, that the deceased took a tablespoon- ful of what she supposed to bea mixture of cream of tartar and jalap. which she swallowed quickly, and per- ceiving that it did not taste sour, suspected that some- thing was wrong, proceeded to the room of Dr. Winter, phys clan at the Asylum, to consult him on the subject, emedies calculated to counteract the effects of the | poisonous substance, were applied, but without succenst and she expired about 3 o'clock yesterday morning.

Then followed the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department, leading his band of daring gallant spirits; and we feel bound to say, that for taste, display and beautiful neatness of dress and bearing, we never saw their equal, not even among the numerous body of this useful class in our eastern cities. The Hope Hose, No. 1, took precedence, with forty members, dressed in red shirt and black pants Buck- et Company, * Rough and Ready,” with thirty bers, dressed in red hunting frocks, and black ca) pants, followed.

Esq , of New York, rose and stated that he held in his hand a set of reaolutions, represent- ing the voice of some seventy delegates, which he asked the privilege of reading. The resolutions were referred to the committee on resolutions without reading. It was requested that all those delegates having proposi- tions prepared, submit the same to the committee on resolutions . Mr. Auten, of Missouri, formerly of “ The Madiso- nian,” here rose and presented a letter from the Hon. Thomas H. Benton, which was read, and referred to the committee, and on motion of Daniel Gardner, Esq., of Troy, New York, the thanks of the Convention wore given to Mr. Benton. The Par-inent then presented the letters of Silas Wright, Martin Van Buren, Henry Clay, General Cass, &e., which I forwarded to you yesterday. The letter of Silas Wright was first reed, and received the loud ap- lause of the audience. The short approbatory letter of Henry Clay, sent yesterday, was next read out, and etrange as it may appear, received not a single note of applause from the vast audience. Letters from Daniel 8. Dickinson, of eine mpton, New York, and Wash- ington Hunt, of New York City, approving of the object of the Convention, were next read. The foliowing letter of the Hon. Lewis Cass was then read, and although sent before, I here reinsert it to show the after effect :— Detroit, May 29th, 1847. Dean Sin :—I am obliged to you for your kind atten- tion in transmitting mo an invitation to attend the Cou- vention on Internal Improvement, which will meet ia Chicago in July. Circumstances, however, will put it out of my power to be present at that time. 1am, dear sir, respectfully zou LEW. CA! W. L. Wurtixa, Esq. As the three last non-committal lines were closed by the Secretary, nearly the whole audience appeared.con- vulsed with laughter. This expression was followed by loud cries of “encore,” “encore;” “read again, we didn’t hear all of it,”’ &e., &c. The President ordered the let- SS. ter to be re-read, amid cries of “no, n0;"” “yes,” “yes,” “go on, go on,” “let's hear it,” ‘let's hear it,” and as it was again closed, there arose from the audience a perfect shout of real western laughter Letters then followed om Thomas B. Curtis, of Boston ; Joseph Grinnell, of New Bedford ; Bradford R. Wood, of Albany; George P. Barker, of Buffalo; Hon. Alpheus Phelps, of Ann Ar- bour, Michigan; and Hon. R. McClelland, of the same State, all approving of the objects of the mblage, Then followed the peculiar letter of Mai ren, sent yesterday, which was received with a partial buzz of approbation. A letter from Charley Butler, of Detroit, and @ communication from the Common Coun- cil of that city closed the reading, Honace Gneey called for the letter of Mr. Botta, of Virginia, which was found not to be in the possession of the Convention, Mr. Wenrwortn moved that the secretaries be re- juested to obtain that letter and all other letters ad. ressed to the convention. Some one in the crowd re- sponded that the letter of Mr. Botts was sent to private fort , and therefore could not be included in the reso- ution. ‘The following resolution, laid on the table yesterday, was called up and again returned to the same place, by a decisive vote of the convention:— “That an executive committee be appointed of ono member from each State and Territory represented in this convention, to be selected by the respective delega- tions, whose duty it shall be to prepare a memorial to Congress embracing the views and purposes of this Con- vention, with proper statistics to sustain them: and to urge upon the attention of Congress such objects of im- provement as may be deemed most urgent. proper and expedient. That the said committee shall appoint such sub-committees for the collection of statistical informa- tion as they may deem expedient or necessary. That the said committee be and it is hereby directed for more con- venient and concentrative action, to appoint a sub-com- mittee to attend the next session of Congress to present the same memorial and to promote its success. That the said committee be and it is hereby directed to call at such time and place as it may consider most convenient another convention, to which said committee shall re- ort its ams ome j; and, if unsuccessful in ‘obaioiag the aid of the government to carry out the benificent purposes of this convention: to report the cause of its failure, in order that such future convention may take such more effective action in tho premises as may be deemed necessary to command success. “And farther, that sueh projects of improvement and such statistical information as may be presented to this convention be referred without debate to the raid exe- cutive committee for its deliberate consideration and action.”’ Pending the absence of the committee to prepare bu- siness, the Hon, Andrew Stewart, of Pennsylvania, was upon to address the convention and reeponded much energy, presenting the singuiar constitu. tional argument that all that was necessary to make any act " national” was merely that it should receive the sanction of Congress. Davin D. Fietp, Esq, of New York, was then called out, and occupied upwards of an hour in presenting his views of the powers of Congress, He believed that Con- had power to improve harbors already formed but that it had any right to construct harbors either kes or rivers. Ile admitted that Con, had the and right to oonstruct and improve rivers and harbors of the territories of thy Union that States would have within their own limits; but denied that Congress could constitutionally expend money for river improvement above ports of entry, and quoted Mr. Jei- ferson to sustai position. He argued that Com had power to regulate, not to control commerce, and in the use of his lan, , he used the words “ we think” and “ we believe” so often, that a ory was raised | ing an exclusion of all argument connected or appertain- distance of* Who aro‘ wo’ ouael”’ ss be sbataiond om, for themarlves alone, without regard to the views of the people, During bis speech, a number of questions were eee him by letegates, which he answered, portraying iv views wiih otners less clear and less argumentative. div closed wilh an ape to the observance of the vested rights of the several Stat and the necessity of a strict construction of their powers by the growing west, in order to secure and perpetuate the advancement and of this happy Union, which, strange to say, not- withstanding he was one of the signers of the secret cir- cular, he wished might extend from Arctic to Antartic. This speech concluding, the convention adjourned until 3 P.M, ArTERnon Session. Previous to the assembling of the convention, the Cleveland Light Artillery performed a number of milita- ry evolutions in the square, highly creditable to their skill and activity, and evidencing, in # practical sense, the power that conquered our enemies in Mexico. The meeting being called to order, and the committee on Resolutions not being prepared to report, Mr. Marsh, of Illinols, presented a resolution, to the effect that the convention were to hear the expression of ill feeling evidenced ying, the remarks of David D. Field, Esq, of New York, and that, in future, such expressions would be abstained from. John Wentworth, democrat, moved to amend, by add- Ang to polities. . D. Field, democrat, objected to the amendment, ee lost, and the original resolution was then pted. Mr. Treat, of the St, Louis Union, democratio, then resented # resolution, confining all ent and reso- jutions strictly to the improvement of rivers and har- bors, which was also lost. The Hon. A. Lincoln, of Illinois, a whig, was here loud- ly called for, and proceeded to address the convention, expressive of his views as to the powers and duties of Congress on the subject of harbor and river improve- ments. He contended that in every case, where im- verments were desirable, and could not be constructed individuals or States, that Congress was the only power to perform the duty, as the accomplishment of such improvement was for the general good, although local points received the immediate advantage. Hon John C. Wright, of the Cincinnati Gazette, as the chairman of the committee on Resolutions, presented the following, which, he remarked, had received the unanimous voice of the committee:— The convention submit to their fellow-citizens, and to the federal government, the following propositions, as expressing their own sentiments, and those of their constituents. 1, That the Constitution of the United States was framed by practical men for practical purposes, de- clared in the preamble. “To provide for the common defence, to promote the general .welfare, and to secure the blessings of liberty;”” and was mainly designed to create a government, whose functions should be adequate to the protection of the common interests of ali the States, or of two or more of them, which eould not be maintained by the action of the separated States. ‘That, in strict accordance with this object, the reve- nues derived from commerce were surrendered to the general government, with the express understanding that they should be applied to the promotion of those common interests. 2. That among these conimon interests and objects st. Foreign commerce, to the regulation of which the powers of the States severally were confessedly in- adequate; and, 2d, internal trade and navigation, where- ever the concurrence of two or more States was neces- sary to its prosecution, or where the expense of its maintenance should be equitably borne by two or more States; and where, of course, those States must neces- sarily have a voice in its regulation; and hence resulted the constitutional grant of power to Congress, “ to re- Pore commerce with foreign nations and among the jtates.’* 3. That being thus possessed, both of the means and of the power which were denied to the States respectively, Congress became obligated by every consideration of ood faith and common justice to cherish and i>crease oth the kinds of commerce thus committed to its care, by expanding and extending the means of conducting them, and of affording them all those faeilities and all that protection which the States individually would have afforded, had the revenue and authority been left to them. 4. That this obligation has ever been recognised from the foundation of the government and has been fulfilled rtially, by erecting light-houses, building piers for arbors, breakwaters and sea walls, removing obstruc- tions in rivers and providing other fasillties for the com- merce carried on from the ports on the Atlantic coast; and the same obligations have been fulfilled to a muc! less extent in providing similar facilities for * commerce among the States;” und that the principle has been most emphatically acknowledged to embrace the west- ern lakes and rivers, by appropriations for numerous light-houses upon them, which appropriations have ne- ver been questioned in Congress as wanting in constitu- tional authority. 5, That thus by a serias of acts which have reocivod the sanction of the people of the United States and of every department of the federal government, u IL administrations, the common understanding of t tent and objects of the tramers of th granting to Congress the power to regulate commerce has been manifested and has been confirmed by the peo- ple, and this understanding has become as much a part | | of that instrument as any one of its most explicit provi- | sions. 6. That the power “to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the States and with the Indian tribes,” is on its face #0 palpably applicable in its whole extent to each of the subjects enumerated equally and in the same manner, as to render any attempt to m.ke it more explicit, idle and futile; and that those who admit onstitutiom in | the rightful application of the power to foreign commerce, by facilitating and protecting its operations by improv- | ing harbors and clearing out navigable rivers, cannot | consistently deny that it equally authorises similar faci- lities to * commerce among the States.” | 7. That “ foreign commerce” itself is dependent upon | internal trade for the distribution of its freights, and for the means of paying for them, so that whatever improves the one, advances the other; and they are so inseparably that they should be regarded as one. That an export from the American shore to British port in Canada is as much foreign commerce as if it had been carried di- 4 rectly to Liverpool, and that an exportation to Liverpool neither gains nor loses any of the characteristics of for- eign commerce, by the directness or circuity of the route, whether it passes through # custom-house on the British side of the St Lawrence, or descends through that river and {ts connecting canals, to the ocean, or whether it | passes along the artificial communications and natural streams of any of the States to the Atlantic, 8 That the general government by extending its ju- risdiction over lakes and navigable rivers, subjecting | them to the same laws which prevail on the ocean, and | on its bays and ports, not only for purpeses of revenue, | but to give security to life and property, by the regula- | tion of steamboats, has precluded itself from denying | that jurisdiction for any other legitimate regulation of | commerce. If it has power to control and restrain, it must have the same power to protect, assist and facili- | tate, and if it denies the jurisdiction in the one mode of action, it must renounce it in the other, 9. That in consequence of the peculiar dangers of the navigation of the lakes, arising from the want of har- bors for shelter, and of the western rivers from snags and other obstructions, there are no parts of the United States more emphatically demanding the prompt and continued care of the rnment to diminish those property and life ox; to them; and that any one who can regard provisions for those purposes as sectional, local and not national, must be wanting in information as to the extent of the com- merce carried on upon those lakes and rivers, and of the amount of teeming population occupied or interested in that navigation. 10 That, baving regard to relative population and to the extent of commerce, the appropriations heretofore made for the interior rivers and lakes and the streams connecting them with the ocean, have not been in a just and fair proportion to those made for the benefit of the ports, harbors and navigable rivers of the Atlantic | coast; and that the time has arrived when this injus- tice should be corrected in the only mode in which it can be done, by the united, determined and persevering efforts of those whose rights have been overlooked. 11, That independent of this right to protection of “ Commerce among the States,” the right of * common defence” guaranteed by the constitution, entitles those citizens inhabiting the country bordering upon the in- terior lakes and rivers, to such safe and convenient | harbors as may afford shelter to a navy whenever it | shall be rendered necessary by hostilities with our neigh- | bors; and that the construction of such harbors cannot, safely be delayed to the time which will demand their immediate use, 12, That the argument most commonly urged against | appropriations to protect “ commerce among the States,”’ aud to defend the inhabitants of the frontiers, that they invite sectional combinations, to insure success to many _ unworthy objects, is founded on» practical distrust ofthe | republican principles of our government, and of the capacity of the people to select competent and honest representatives. That it may be urged with equal force against legislation upon any other subject, involving | various and extensive interests, That a just appre | tion of the rights and interests of all our fellow cit in every quarter of the Union, disclaiming selfish and | local purpor will lead intelligent representatives to | to such # distribution of the means in the treasury. upo ‘a system of moderation and ultimate equality, us will in | time meet the mort urgent wants of aH, aud prevent those jealousies and suspicions which threaten the most serious dangers to our confederacy 13, That we are utt of perceiving the | difference betweon a harborfor shelter aud a barbor for | commerce, and suppose that a mole or pier which will | afford safe anchorage and protection to a vessel against a storm, must necessarily improve such harbor, and adapt it to commercial purposes, 14. That the revenues derived from imposts on foreign goods belong to ull the people, and the public lands being the common heritage ofall our citizens, so long aa these resources continue, the imposition of any special burden on say rtion of the people, to obtain the means of ac- complishing objects equally within the duty and the competency of the general government, would be unjust ‘and oppressive, 15. That we disavow all and every attempt to connect the cause of internal trade and of “commerce among the States,” with the fortunes of any political party, but that we seek to place that cause upon such immutable principles of truth, justice and constitutional duty, us shall command the reepect of all parties, and the defer- once of all candidates for public favor. ‘The resolutions having been submitted for adoption.— Hon. Joun ©. Srexcen, of New York, one of the com- mittee, rose and addressed the convention, He con- tendéd that the object of the constitution of the govern- ment was“ to provide for the common defence, to pro- mote the general welfare and secure the bleesings of liberty,” and that it but carried out the principle that the revenues derived from ® people should be ap- plied to their protestion and defence, and that in the debates in the convention to form the constitution of the Union, the grant of powers to, Congrise to levy du- ties and imposta, and the denial of it to the States, were founded upon th d, firat—The necessity of hav- ing a uniform rule, to prevent conflicts among the States; and second, the ger of the Atlantic States taxing ‘Western States, to promote their own inte- | offer fartber reate, and opposing the improvement of the navigation re ad eesipPL That, wader this very power, by meaus of the lerance in houses of Con- green, the Atlantic States have appropriated to them. selves, almost exclusively, the means of increasing the asked if ever an argument was heard of the government to erect and sustain these internal seas, and if not, where was rived from except that to “regulate passingly contrasted the statistios of ‘the lakes with that of the Atlantic, and alluded to the opinion of Mr. Calhoun, delivered at the Memphis Con. vention, when he approved of the construction of har- bors for shelter but not for commerce, asa strango ab. straction,without any difference in real m x ‘A resolution to appoint a committee, consisting of two members from each State and territory, to transmit the proceedings to Congress, and also to authorize them to appoint a sub-comutittee to prepare such statistics and other argument as may be necessary to sustain the ob- jects ot the convention, was then submitted and adopt- ‘ed—the chair to appoint, ‘A resolution, containing the opinions of General Jack- son, a8 delivered in the Maysville vete, denying the power of Co to grant money for internal improve- ments, without an alteration of the constitution, was subunitted by a delegate. sae lonn C.

Charge of False Pretences.—Officers A. M. C. Smith and Burley, of the Lower, Police, arrested yesterday, a German commission merchant, by the name of John D. Kleudgen, doing business at No. 71 Broad street, on warrant issued by Justice Drinker, wherein he stan charged with obtaining, about the 13th of May last t sum of $14,260, from the firm of Charles Bonnafil & Co., No, 2; Broadjstreet, upon bills of exchange drawn on Jobin U, Hambro and Son, London, which bills wero pro- tested for non acceptance, the money thereon having been obtained by the accused by false and fraudulent represen- tation. It appears from the affidavit madeby Mr. Bonnafi, before the magistrate, that the accused represented that these bills of exchange were drawa on actual shipments of whale oil; consequently, upon this representation, to- gether with other circumstances, the bills were cashed by Mr. Bonneff, but wero not paid on presentation, and ir. B, has since ascertained that the representations made by the accused respecting the shipment of whale oil, was false und fraudulent. We also learn, that the following houses have been’ defrauded by the ac- cused under similar representations: Mr. Belmonte, $1 216 67; Spies, Christ & Co, 7,108 33; Prime, Ward & Co, $10,601 82, and Mr, John Gale, $25,000.

Tracicat anp Mysreniovs Arrair.—A great excitement was caused at the west part of the city on Saturday evening and Sunday morning, in von- sequence of «report that two young Yadien had’ tommit- ted suicide under peculiar and melancholy circum. stances. We yesterday morning took considerable pains to ascertain the facts connected with this report, | and the following is the result, which we learn from Dr: M. G. Greene, who was called to give his testimony be- fore un inquest held by Coroner Pratt.{ a pears that two young women, Miss Isabella Gam- aged about 17, and Miss taff, of about the ¢, worked together in a tailoring shop, No. 44 j kame South Margin street, and that onthe mornig of Saturday, Miss Gammon, while at work in the shop, took from h-r pocket # vial, und handing it to Miss L., requested ber to taste of it, stating that it would “do her good” Miss L, took the vial, tasted of ity contents, and remarked, tbat it did'nt “taste good,” Shortly after, she began to fuel quite Unwell, and in a few moments growing alarm- ingly ill, Dr. Greene was sent for, who immediately pro- uouaeed her poisoned. Whil» he was employed in administering some reme- dies, Miss G. entered the room and com that she felt sick. Dr. G supposing that her fuelings were merely the effect of symp thy, paid but little attention to her complaints, aud sheieft the room. A few moments af- terwards he heard @ noise in an adjoining apartment, if some onv had fallen heavily to the floor, and upon go ing into the room discovered Miss G. lying upon & floor, pyeereatly in the last agonies of death. Help wi Oalled, but she ‘expired ing few moments. An ing
