Four of this committee are mem- bers from the North, and four from the South. In commenting upon this question of the Wilmot proviso, we have invariably stated that no compro- mise that can be agreed to by Congress, will be received with satisfaction by Mr. Van Buren, and his associates, atthe North. The ex-Presi dent has mounted his hobby, not for the sake of philanthropy, or for regard to the colored races on the borders of the salt lakes of Calitornia, but with the view of again reaching power and emo. lument, be the sacrifices what they may. The in- tegnity of this glorious confederacy is as nothing in his eyes, provided he can accomplish his own selfish purposes—the first and most prominent of which is the defeat of General Cass, in revenge for Mr. Van Buren’s rejection by the Baltimore Convention of 1844, and, ultimately, his own eleva- tion to the Presidency, under the cry of anti-slave- ty. If hecan accomplish these he will do so, let the consequences be what they may, and he and his associates will not abate one whit of their ef- forts, even if the Senate committee and the two houses of Congress shall agree on a compromise. We have always given it as our opinion, that in ease such a compromise should be agreed upon, the cry would be repeal, and circumstances of re- ent occurrence have shown its correctness. The Evening Post—the organ of Mr. Van Buren En@.anp ‘anp Cuna.—One of our Loadon core respondents has given some insight iato the start- ‘Theatrien! and Masi; |. Bowsayr Tueatny —La-tnight the tatre was well ling purposes of the British government, as con- | filled by most fashionable audience, and the porfor- England, and the longings of the latter power after taking possession of the Island of Cuba. Accord- ing to this information, it appears that Lord Pul- merston has been very anxious to pick a quarrel with Spain, for the purpose of making a war with that country, the pretext for seizing upon the Isle of Cuba, and taking possession ot that beaut!- ful territory before the power of the United States may be wakened up to the purposes entertained in London. The recent conduct of the British govern- ment towards Spain would seem to justify strong suspicions of such a parpose in the Palmerston ministry. Great fear and anxiety were created in England during the Mexi- can war, that the United States, after the absorption of all Mexico, would turn its attention towards Cuba ; would take it in hand, and wrest it fygm the power of Spain. That a resolution of thiskind has been taken on the part of England, appears to be confirmed by the undoubted fact that the white inhabitants of the island look with horror upon the possible cause of annexation with the British em- pire, and desire, above all things, to form a con- nexion with the United States, from the natu- ral motive of a desire to preserve their slave property from destruction. If England should stake possession of Cuba, there would be no gua- rantee against the instant abolition of slavery, and the reduction of this nch island to the miserable level of the French and British West Indies. In connexion with this important subject, we have heard it hinted that the movement of Mr. Van Bu- ren, beginning with the Wilmot proviso, will not end untila general abolition party is organized in the North, in conjunction with the same political purpose of abolition in England, and probably with the understanding of the British government.— Every body knows that the abolition question in this country may be agitated until 1t comes to the point of producing a division of the Union. Ii the Union should be divided into the two divisions of slave and free, no one can predict what state of things may arise with Canada and the other free States, in conjunction with the intrigues and pur- poses of the British power. Certainly, in this country, there is a new phasis of public affairs, which begins to be visible, and the movements of politics, both in England and at home, ought tobe watched with a great deal of attention and golici- tude. Panis anv THE Dirrengnt Partiss 1n Conriict with THE Rerustic—A Farrurut Portrarrure or Rep Rervsricanism.—The following sketch of “Red Republicanism,” by Victor Hugo, isso graphic and true, and so peculiarly suitable at the present moment, that we think it worth while to present it to our readers. It will be understood that * Red Republicanism” signifies the ultras of all icinds, who have just been put down in Paris by Cavaig- nac, viz.: socialists, Fourierites, and all the other theorists who seek to destroy all order and subor- dination in society, and to place power and wealth in the hands of the low, the vile, the brutal, the ignorant, the vulgar, the debased, the dranken, the abandoned, the idle, and the. vicious. Victor Hugo thus eloquently speaks :— Two sorts of republics are possible. One of them will put down tre tricolored flag, and will hoist the red flag. It will coin the great column on the Plane Ven- dome into pennies. it will knock down the statue of Napoleon. und set up that of Robespierre or Mirabeau in its stead. It will put an end tothe Institute, to the Polytechnic School, and to the Legion of Honor. To the noble motto of + Liberty, Equality and Fraternity”? it will add the horrible alternative, “or Death.” It will make Franee bankrupt. It will ruin the rich, without enriching the poor. It will annihilate credit, which is the fortune of all, and put an end to labor, which is the bread of all. It will abolish property. It Will abolish families. It will parade about the streets of the city with men’s heads upon pikes. It will fill the prisons on mere suspicions, and then make a general gaol delivery by indiscriminite massacre. It* will set Europe in flames, and reduce civilization to and the new abolition party in this city—uses the following language, in anticipation of the commit- tee agreeing upon a compromise:— “The moment Northern representatives compromise their honor, and Southern men their sense of justice, by an act extending slavery, there will be presented an additional act, in both houses of Congress, “ to re- establich freedom,” which shall declare in eubstauce, that there shall be no further increase of slavery in apy cf the territories of the United States after the postage of that act, and the cry of repeal of the one sided “Bright compromise,” wili be heard among the hills and valleys of the North, and over the prairies of the West, until the act to re-establish freedom in the territory is coined.”” This is precisely what we imputed to the new party, and is just what we expected. No compro- mise will suit them ; but the Union itself is to be shaken to its foundations, if necessary, in order that Mr. Ven Buren and his party may not reap the consequences of having taken a false step in politics. Here, then, we have conclusive evidence of the animus which pervades the barnburning section of the democracy. Notwithstanding that it 1s not | an the nature of things, in a wide and extended eo hfederacy like ours, for any measure affecting the interests cf the North and the South, to pass w.thout a compromise of some kind or other, Mr. Van Buren’s organ, in anticipation of sucha compromise being eflected, denounces it, and | threatens to raise the flag of repeal, which they | wiil, no doubt, carry into eflect in the Presidential election of 1852. it has always been the case that the North and | the South have been opposed to each other on the | question of slavery ; but, admitting the South, as members of this confederacy, to have rights as well as the North, we cannot conceive the justice of edmitting those of one section, and denying those ef the other, to the fullest extent. In such a state of things, wisdom and common sense dic- tate compromise—a mutual surrender of part, by the North and the Senth, as the best means of avoiding trouble, and of settling the vexed ques- tion. But the ultras of the North say “no!—not | another foot, not another inch, of slave territory ; | and if any euch compromise be agreed upon, we shall raise the cry of repeal, and, perish we, or perish the Union, we shall continue to rally under | at.” It is a fortunate thing for the United States, | that we have among our population a great many | men who are gifted with common sense—men of | sound judgment and patriotism, who care as much | for the welfare of the colored races as any of the political deelaimers of the day. These are the | men on whom the responsibility of meeting this | question wil) devolve; and that they will ultumately be successful, we do not for amoment doubt. | Fourirrism.—It is amusing to see the winding | and tortuous course which Fourierism adopts in endeavoring to accomplish its purpose—that of pro- moting the cause of philanthropy, -as it is errone- ously called. Thus, in France, the Fourierites, with the cry of philanthropy on their lips, array the poor against the rich, and seek to elevate the working man above all other grades of society, as af capital, intelligence or education have no rights. This epecies of them may be termed the red Fou- rierites; but although they difler in color from their associates in the United States, they are identically the same, and advocate precisely the fame disorganizing principles. The Fourierites here, through their organ, the Tyibune, advocate not only socialism, communism and Fourier- iem, but also abolitionism, and may be termed the black Fourerites, although they have as much claim to the red button as those of Paris; for gore has followed the preaching of their doctrines in the United States, as well as it has done in France. There never would have been any anti-rent out- rages in this State, but jor the preachings of the Tribune; ong although the leaders and instigators | may preach peace, as the philosopher of the Tyi- dune eternaliy docs, yet the doctrines which they instil into their discijles, ineapacitate them from seeking what they conceive to be their rights, in any other manner thon by blood, Such has been ashes. It will make France the land of blood and darkness. It will butcher liberty stifle the arts, sup- press free thought, abjure God, and set in motion thre tno fatal instruments which go hand in hand together —the guillotine and bank note p'™ Victor Hugo then goes on to give a beautiful de- scription of the Republic of Order, and concludes | by saying— Of these two republics, the one is civilization—the | other ix terror, I am ready to lay down my life in support cf the one, and to lose it, ifneed be, in Sighting against the other. That such sentiments, so eloquently uttered, must have had their effect in animating the fnends of order, in the late struggle, to fight against the fearful insurrection of the red flag, no one can tor > r Bances ngeee with the, epinpearerens etme esi FL cine tickaty Soe ocd apec'acie pieces, a moment entertain a doubt. It 18 pleasing to see the spint of order and peace thus animating the majority of the French people, and to behold ter- rorism, Fourierism, murder, rapine,and barbarity, Iexonance.—On one of the flags taken from the Pourierite insurgents of Paris was the inscription, “ Vainqueur, le pillage! ‘That is, ** If we are conquerors, we will plander the city ; but if we are conquered, we will burn it down A sapient contemporary of this day ren- ders the above as follows pillage—to the vanquished, conflagration.” Laver rrom Porto Caneti.o.—We learn from Capt. Janssen, of the Danish brig Otto, arrived here on Saturday, in 14 days from Porto Cabello, that three out of four of the government fleet had arrived from Maracaibo on the 25th June. They stated that they had had a battle at Maracaibo with Gen. Paez’s fleet, consisting of eleven sail; that Paez’s force being much superior, the govera- ment vessels were obliged to make their escape. One of their vessels being a dull sailer, was cap tured—not, however, until she was rua on shore, and the crew made their escape. No news from the army. . No papers. Tw Boston Account or Tur Leorarp Hr A story loses nothing by repetition, as may be seen from the account of the late leopard hunt, up town, | which story having reached Boston, is thus given in the journals of that city, under a heading to match the article :— “ Welearn that two lions and two leopards broke loore yesterday from the premises of Corporal Thomp- son, 23d street, New York, and after surveying the ad- | jacent streets, walked coolly off. One of the leopards | in his perambulations attacked a woman, and strip- pine her clothes and giving her a few scratches, loft er; continuing his course, he attacked a baker, and leaving his marks on bim, proceeded to # dwelling houre, walked through into the garden, and laid down in apateh of corn. By this time the neighborhood was aroured. and one perron seized a gan, procured a lad- der. und arcending it some 16 feet. took deliberate aim and fired, unluckily missing his object ; whereupon the | infuriated animal sprang upon his victim, brought | him to the proane, stripping the flesh from his limbs, and biting his arms severely. ‘The person succeeded in getting away from his antagonist, afver which the leopard took himself back to his retreat in the corn — By this Lime several perrons arrived with guns, and af- ter pouring several volleys at him, he was finally kill- ed, just as the keeper approached the ground. The ovber leopard was still at Togs at the time of the lea- ving of boate. The lions were recaptured without having done any injury. Ths neighborhood was in # state of great excitement. hese animals were all purchased at Salem a short time since, and were left at the Corporal’s awaiting to be forwarded to one of the extensive menageries now travelling forthe reason. It ig thought they must have been let out by some malicious person, as they were well secured a short time previous to their escape. It is taid that before the leopard above mentioned was killed, he had bitten ten or twelve persons,’? Cou.eer Commence of Rutger’s College, inst.

Castie Ganvex.—This beautiful summer evening's resort, the most delightful place in the world for spend- ing a midsummer’s night, amid dreams of fairy delight, | was opened last night for the benefit of poor Chubbee, the Choctaw chief, who plays so eweetly upon the flute, ‘We confess we felt somewhat hurt and indignant to find his humble merits no®better appreciated, and the night of his hopes and benefits less clouded with dis- appoiniment. There is a singular lack of taste and kindness in the New York fashionable world, or else Castle Garden would be more visited, and poor Chab- bee would have bad a better benefit, The other per- formers last evening did their best for the humble, simple, but talented and skilful Indian; their exertions dd them great credit. Wecan only add that there is not @ place in New York to equal Castle Garden in the beauties of nature aud scenery. the freshness and coolness of its area, and also there is none that surpass it in the variety, excellence, aud skilfal performance of the various theatrical entertainments. There will bea grand concert of sacred music this evening, and, asthe weather is so fair, the garden wiil likely be | crowded, as much to inhale the freah air as to hear the music. Bertox’s Tuxatnz.—This central place of amu-e- ment, which has been thoroughly renovated and im- proved, was well filled last evening, to see, for the last time, the fascinating, charming Danseuse> Viennoises, in their beautifal figures and chaste movements. It was exceedingly delightful to hear these bewitching children sing twelve popular and national airs, which were rendered so swectly thatthe wnanimous cheers of the audience followed the execution of each song The burietta of “Maidens Beware” followed, in which Miss Chipman. as Rosalie, the pretty French girl. both in her »/pging and acting, evidenced dramatic qualities of a@superio: character. ‘he Danseuses Viennoises were vaceful and chaste in the varions figures of the grand divertirement, “Les Suuvages et le Mirroir.” Next | ceeded the farce of “Bamboozling,” in which Miss | Chapmax end Mr. Crisp displayed every featare of ster- | Ing comic ability.

Still greater deeds are ex- peeted of the Luropa, under Capt Lott's guidance, apd his numerous frends here will rejoice (o find him the first to pass from England to America in less than ten days. It is now pretty well. settled that Boston has two days’ advantage over New York in the pas- sages of vessels from England; and the 190 miles dis- tance between us and Gotham is annihilated by the magnetic telegraph, in regard to transinission of news, 11 New York murt havea monopoly of the ton trade, Boston cannot be deprived of a share in the Liverpool steam navigation, So well ratisGed are the owners and commanders of the Cunard line, that Bos- ton is preferable, that nothing could have indu: division of half their ships to New York but avoid competition from the Great Western an Britain for mail service. Now that obstacle is the return here is more likely to happen t drawal of the line from Boston of by tome New York journals. The above we take fromthe Boston Traveller, the truth of which we will not question; at all events, our neighbors are welcome to the very great pleasure they appear to enjoy from the success of an enterprise Great removed, na with. as hoped and boasted | Low far they have contributed to the advancement of ocean steam navigation, and how much modest credit they have taken to themselves in the recent improve- ments in ships built and owned nearly three thousand miles from Boston. It is said $400 000 have been ex pended in the construction of cach of these vessels, | not one farthing of which was contributed or spent for the purpore either in Borton or York; and yet, the | people of that town repeatedly claim the whole line as their sole and rightful property and in their patriotic rs, they are willing to sacrifice the most creditable and costly productions of | American ingenuity. ‘The ern pecple forget that nine out of every ten who travel between this continent and Europe, are either native Americans, or American citizens, who are ready and willing to give their patronage and en- courrgement to citizens of the United States As & proof of this, we may refer to the lists of passengers brovght out, by the Washington, the Hermann, and the United States, on their last trips, and to the num ber almost daily carried to and fro by the sailing pack- ete, The packet ship Devonshire, which arrived on Fridey from London, bad on board cighty first class parsenger—a greater number than has been carried by any of the Cunarders for more than a year, This is evidence enough tosustain the truth of our remarks, ‘That the travelling community preter American con- veyances asthe most convenient and comfortable of #ny,notonly on the Atlantic, but on the lakes and rivers, is relf-evident. ‘Travellers from ail parts of the world will make for New York, as the great centre, or etarting point; and if these steamers should be withdrawn from this port, the people will still flock to the London of the West, We shall not be long without our steamers; somo eight or ten are now building, equal to the best, which, ina few months, will submit their merits to the discrimina- tion of the people. Travellers bound to the old world will not leave New York to take passage in any other city, unless there be some attraction or inducement offered. ‘Tho directors of the Cunard vessels aware of this, have wisely sent all their new vessels, to Boston, and their old ones to New York, knowing, rightfully, too, that passengers are to | be had here, however meagre the conveniences may be that are presented, | Several large store huoses in are to be erected in Kast | Boston for the reception of quantities of goods for the | Canadian market,which may be retained for any length of time, free of duty. The Great Vog Warof 1848-—Threstened An- nihilation of the Conine Race in New York. Tn consequence of the numerous cases of hydropho- bia in the city, of late, the Mayor, a few days since, is- sued a declaration of war against the canine race, and in such a form that every one who felt so disposed could hold @ commission in the army of bipeds. Scarce hud the edict gone forth, before the aspiring youth, in every part of the'city, armed themselves with bludgeons for the contest, and since the war commenced there have been troublous times among the dogs. In those parts of the city where they were so nume- Tous, scarce ope can now be found, thove which were fortunate enough to escape having sought quarters be- yond the bounds of the divputed territory. There are several regiments of these dog destroyers who patro! the streets by dayy and several others who patrol by night, and it is almost impossible for a dog lo cseape them, for he can ran but @ short distance belore his retreat is cut off by another squad, equally anxious to capture him. Thore who have heretofore had the bu- siness in hand, will now be obliged to seck other em- ployment; for when they start on their morning tour the vietims which were at large the night before have fallen under the perseverance of the youthful volun- teers. On Friday night, one of the most formidable of these bands, composed of ten leds, succeeded iu killing nine dogs in ubout two hours, and more than a dozen escap- edfrom them because of their want of knowledge in the business, being raw recruits, having just enterod the service. A gentleman passing up Fourth avenue ‘was very much alarmed sbout half past twelve o’clock yesterday morning, to discover a dog coming immedi- ately towards him at fall peed, and ran for life, assur- ed in his own mind that it was a case of hydrophobia. Having obtained a safe position, he had the satisfaction tosee the animal pass down the avenue until he lost sight of him. Going: till further up the avenue, he discovered at the corner of thirty-first street this new band, and there seemed to besome dispute among them because of one of them not knowing how to strike a dog, as they said, tofetch him.” They had nine laying before them, and the one which had just made such haste down the avenue had felt the weight of one of their weapons, and was getting out of the way. One of the gang, who seemed to be captain of the party, said to another of them, “Tim, you don’t know how to strike a dog to fetch him. Ef you’d struck him right, we'd had four shillin’ a-piece; but now the money’s got to be divided, and | don't Know how the devil you're going to do it.3 The fellow addressed expressed great sorrow at having missed hir mark, and vowed most earnestly that he would strike the next one across the “linw.” and brenk the thing’s back. Atter considerable consulta- tion, they determined that they would press on until they should find another, and then they could divide the money right. There are many who resort to any means to destroy them. ‘he first day after the declaration of war had been proclaimed, two lads called at a buteher’s shop, in the upper part of the city, aud purchased a halt. und of beef. They then proceeded to the slaughter- jouse of the same buthcher, where a very tine dog was kept to guard the place, and after reconnoitering the premises, discovered a place where the dog could get out of the yard. They then set to work to decoy him into the street, by throwing him small pieces of the meat, and eventually got him, by kind words and alittle feeding; to approach them, when one of them let fly with his bludgeon, bringing the victim to the grouad, and continued hammering at him until he was quite dead. Vhus did the butcher kill his dog with his own meat. ‘The more juveniles of the patriotic lads of the city have also enlisted in the war; ut have not become as yet very expert in the work of death, A day or two hince. two of them stepped in front of a house in Wil- liam street, where dogs of different kinds are kept for sale, among which are some beautiful ones of the poodle breed. One of them was in the hall of the house, and the little fellows immediately set to work to get him ont, and succeeded in getting him upon the sidewalk, When one of them said to the otber, » Give it to him, Mickey!’ and he was just about striking, when a gen- Ucman stepped up, took the dog and put it in the house, thereby frustrating the desiga of the youthful killers. Since the commencement, the war has waged with unabated fury. and the result of two days’ work has destroyed two hundred and thirty dogs. The work is still going on every hour. adding new volunteers to the service; and some of them are as ferocious as lions, having taken their first lesson in hunting the eseap-d tiger and leopard, which were at large in the city within the past week, their determined energy having been sufficient, had they encountered one of these ani- mals, to coutest every inch of ground rather than have failed of their purpose. By the end of another week, it is probable there will not be found a dog in the streets, muzzled or otherwise, for they can very easily rewove the muzzle,and doubtless many would do it for the sake of the fee for killing. It would be well for the ladies who keep a pet in the shape of a lap dog, to keep it closely, for the fee is just the same, however small the victim; ‘and there are many who would dash its brains out, even though it might be led by a string, by the hand of its own mistress. ‘This destruction of dogs is another of the new scenes of New York asit is; an» it is quite probable, before the first day of November—the date at which the law ceases tohave effect for the year— all the worthless curs, and many highly-prized dogs, ll have gone the way of all flesa. At many of the police stations there are hogshexds provided for their reception; and, at the Eighteenth ward police station, the leopard which was killed last week, is suspended, at full size. on the top of the house, ay a kind of sign board, that the headquarters of dog-dom in that ward may beknown. ‘That is the first place where the banner has been hung out and it is possible they have re- ceived more ut that place than at any other.

Pustic Woxxnou: Jderman Crolius recently placed before the branch of the Common Couneil of which he is @ member, an important communication on the subject and propriety of establishing @ suitable workhoure for the employment of able-bodied pau pers. In setting forth not only the advantazes that would arise from the establishment of a workhouse, but that it is imperatively demanded, he says :—“The rapid growth of this city, and its geographiéal position making it the'great connecting link between the old World and the new—the point d’appui of the emigrating masses, which are travelling westward, and also the rerervoir fur the scum of the cast-oif population of Eu. rope—erowds our prisons with vagrants and our alms houses with paupers, many of whom prefer the com- forts and the leisure of even our criminal extablish- ments tothe ceaseless unrequited toil of liberty, and gladly enter our prisons, as they at the saine time af- ford them 2 home and indulge their appetite for ease and idleness, Thus itis that onr alms houses aud prisons are crowded with an unproductives population, and cur poor establishments soc uamed as to render them places of torture rather than secure and com- fortable asylums. where the hungry are fed, the parch- ed tongue refreshed, and the progress of decrepid age made ea-y to the tomb, The muitiiude thus theown together, engender disease of the most viralunt aad fatal character, so that, too frequently, virtuous pover- ty is rewarded by the exposure of life in the charnel house of dircase and death, During the past year this has been peculiarly the cuse, and humanity shu at the leng catalogue of mortality thus produced. ‘'o such an awful extent has disease operated, that oat of @ population less than 3,500, the daily deaths have fre- qvevily ranged as high as ten or twelve, a mortality which. if continued through the year, would not have left a single inhabitant alive in odralins house. * * The p entiary, too, although the reengaized abode of vagrants and felons, under its present organization and government, affords so comfortable a support, such extended opportunities for social intercourse, and above all juiges sioth, that hundreds every win- ter prefer the di of a prison to that honorable ex- ertion which is necessary fur support while at liberty. os ‘There is now in this city a woman who has been an almost constant inmate ef the Bridewell and the Isiand. for the last thirty-three years; and there are numbers who have spent the larger portion of their time in prison, for the last fifteen or twenty years, but it is not drunkenness and idleness alone ihat is thus fostered. We are encouraging prostitu- tion, Our penitentiary hospital is, to a certain ex- tept, a grand venereal horpital, where the unfortunate prostitute can, at the city’s oxpense, repair the rava- ges of disease, and as soon as she is recovered, re-com- mence her life of debauchery. Tosuch a system has this matter Leen carried, thot the venereal vageant fixes her own time, and asks to be sent up for onu, two or three months, to suit her own convenience; and perebance she does not recover at the period she affix. es, the is kindly kept over until she is fally recovered. Ifconstant and hard labor was provided for these classes, according to their ability; if the period of sen- tence, instead of being dictated by convenience, was extended to four or six months, or even a year, and @ rufficient restraint put upon social intercourse, the city, we have no doubt, would in many instances, be entirely relieved from the burthen of their expense, and both our Alms House and Penitentiary placed upon a better orgrnization.” Alderman Crolius then proceeds in his communi- cation to recommend a fne to be imposed, or brief im- prisonment for the first offence. and prolong the term of imprisonment for cach subsequent offence; at the same time suljecting all offenders to hard labor; feeling fatisfied that such a course would soon diminish ex- penses more than one half, and refers to the condition of the house of correction at South Boston, and others elsewhere, in eupport of his argument In alluding to the introduction of hard and unre- quieted labor into priton discipline, as the great ele- ment of reform, he observes, We know that a popular ery has been rolsed against the employment of prison. ers at any of tho ordinary branches of business prac: tiged out of prison, A moments reflection, we believe, will show the baseless fabric on which sugh a position is founded. For instance, let us prohibit prison labor in this State, and what is the result? Not to prevent it from coming in competition with free labor. as no other State in the Union restricts the labor of her pri- soners, but in effect to offer a pri mium to other States for the labor of their convicts, while we allow ourselves to be taxed for the support of ours in idleness.” In conclusion, he recommends the early erection of a workhoure on Blackwell's Island, believing, that with such an establishment there, a ng of many thou- fond dollars yearly, might be made in the city expen- dituror, by the substitution of the granite or stono blecks from the Island for th mon cobble stones now in general use for paving our streets.
