While the public mind Las very naturally heen di- rected, almost exclusively, to the recent movements of the British government, with reference to the al- | Jeged encroachments of American fishermen, very little is said or known of the conduct of those of France ; to investigate which a convention hos as- acmbled at Newfoundland, consisting of French and English commissioners, at which the Admiral, com- | manding on the North American station, is to be present, having sailed from Halifax for that purpose. By treaty, the French are permitted to fish on the east coast of Newfoundland, thence passing to the north and slong the west side to Cape Ray—the | southwest point of that island. Great Britain, by the treaty of 1765, ceded to France the islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, on the south side of Newfound- | land, which were subsequently captured when tho war broke out in 1792: but wero restored to the erown of France, when the allied soversigns reinsta- | ted the Bourbons on the throne. a‘ ‘The French, however, have never been permitted | to fortify these isiands, or to creet any buildings thereon, but such ar are necesetry for tho fisheries.

On the coast ef Labrador, Captain Milne says, French ‘vessels continually fish for cod in all the bays, to the 0 , In many respects, prevention of British fishermen. In 1848, Captain Loch was sent te visit the eoasts of Newfoundland and Labrador, who stated that there were ten thousand French fishermen employ- ed between ws Ray and Cape St. John, Bintang an increase of fifteen hundred men in two years ; an‘ that the fisheries at Belle Isle were principally ga- thered by, the French. At Red bay, on the Labra- dor coast, Capt. Loch found that the French came over in squadrons of flat-bottomed boats, swoeping all the boat fishing grounds ; and that between that bay and Forteau bay, there sre from one thousand to thirteen hundred French tishermen, employed in about two hundred boats. Capt. DeCourcy was sent in 1850, in the Helena, sloop of war, who also found French vessela fishing at Bello Isle. At Labrador, twe brigs, two schoon- ers, one sloop, about fifty boats, and two hundred French fishermen, were ordered away by the boat employed in that service. The French, he asecer- tained bad beon guilty of great outrages, in relation to tbe inhabitants, and when the fishing season slackened on the Newfoundland shore, they invaria- bly resorted to that of Labrador.

The Sumner No-Specch—Anger of the Free Svilers with Mr. Sumner—Democratie State Convention —Hunker Movements— Horace Mann for Scott— The Laquer Lato—The Tremont House, $c. Mr. Sumner has lost ground prodigiously with tho free soilers since his lame attempt to get up ade- Date on the Fogitive Slave law. Many of them, in view of his c! mode of procedure, do not hesitate to fa) at he has been playing a part, and acted as he did only in the cortainty that he would be refused permission to do that which, say the freo soilors here, he should have done without asking permission. They laugh at the absurdity of expecting that Southorn Senators would give votes that should injure thom at home, which was exact!y what Mr. Sumner, witn charming simplicity, asked them to do; but they aver that roost Soutbern Senators would have been pleased to have heard him, had he seized upon some occasion, anc ‘spoken bis speech” against the law. They see in bis conduct either a want of tact ora waat of principle—either an inability to turn things to ac- count, or g wish to shirk his principles. Jn their view, ington has been to him, as to so many others, a political Cspua. It has not tende' coo} their exasperation, that a telegraphic despatch from Washington announced that Afr. Sumner had it he was not @ party to any ‘*bargsin” on ction. What this means they do rot exactly know; but it looks asif the honorable Senator wero disposed to cut the connection, after roeping all the benefits of it Certain it is, that whether Mr. | Rumner biceigh maby tothe “bargain” that placed Lim in the Senate, or not, the bringing him | forward was no such easy matteras to have been done without the details being known to him. Mr. Plillips and his frionds were angry at the timo, bo- cause of it, ss Mr Phillips considered himself, and was considered by his friends, entitled to the placo— he haying been tho free soil candidate for Governor. The truth is that Mr. Sumner is * not the man for Galway.” The free soilers thought they had fonad | such aman as Mr. Giddings, or Mr. Allen, in him, but are now pretty well convinced that, however strong may be his attachment to their principles, | be has netiber the nerve nor tho taste for that kind | of work which the world calls Jacobinical.

Impressions of Lebanon—Its Scenery, Holds, and Visiters—Visit to the Shaker Village—Account of their Manners, Costume, §c. My rapid tour was drawing to a’close, when I directed my face towards Lebanon. The Westera railroad conveyed me from Albany to a country station called Canaan, where a coach was in wait- | ing to curry such as wero destined to the springs. Ltarning that the distance was but seven miles, aud the road hilly and suited to pedestrians, I consigned my traps to the driver and started out on foot. J was indeed well compensated for tho slight fatigue of the walk by the beautifully diversified scencry which lay along the route; aud when I attained the summit of one of the hills overlooking the quiet | valley of Lebanon, I beheld a prospect sufficient to inspire the most confirmed wanderer with a wish that he might here end his pilgrimage, and droam no more of | “Morn of toll cr nights of waking. | Treached the hotel just in time to get an ablution | and change my costume somewhat before tho dinnor be)! rang; and when I did enter the spacious saloon, I was delighted to seo it graced by a most respecta- ble-looking company—composed, for the most part, of ladics and children, and comprising many very handsome young girls. The principal hotel is the Columbia House, an oxtensive and very commo- dious building, with everything provided to suit the tustes and convenience of guests—large fruit gar- deng, baths, billiard and bowing houses, andypipzzas all arownd the edifice. The table, too, is excellont- ly stocked, ard the waiters civil and attentive—not tccking to levy black mail, Jike those of Saratoga. There are three other minor hotels in the place, a water cure establishment, post oflice, grist mill, and | a congeries of handsome cottages. ‘Che situation of Tabanon is delightful, lying, ns it were, in the Jap of the amphitheatre of mountains which elevate their pine-clad crests on ali sides around. I in- inctively eallied out for a stroll among these ro- | mantic hills, and following the course of a babbling rivulet coming down from the mountain side, I ar- rived at what might be considered the wltima thule of progress. Before me, and barring an as- cent to the summit, stood a section of un- cleared forest, where the woodman’s axe bad boen unbeard, and where the tauglkd brushwood scomed to juterveue its barrier and convey the mondace, “thus for shalt thou go and no farther.” Though not on my native hoath, I felt myself once more in | familiar scenes, for, “where ruse mountain thers tome were friends,” aud obstuoles only whetted my inclinations va m0 | \ bo ero and tren’ the bralee.”? Bent on gratifying my impulses | sot forward, » after on hours contest with diffivullics I found m eolf standing on the apex of tho Lill, with the most muignificent Jandecape spread out on all sides, mol- Jowed end harmonized in by the glow ofthoautaranal sotting sun, and J felt that the pleasure and seronity of mind derived from the contemplation of such a gcene was & rich guerdon for my tore J made the descent with almost equal difficulty, the woodcocks now and again starting up before my | nd the deeper revesées of the woods; and now broke * evening ypon my ear the wild music of the | bells? rommoving the suoliers to return from | their rambles by the tutimation that pper yould be on the table in half an hour, at whwh time the Jarge bell isngain rung.

Isauntered about the grounds for some time, my mind still reverting to that pensive browed maiden, an uA epeeulsting whether she was not one of those who ¥ “Never told her Jove, . But let affection, like @ worm 1! the bud, Prey upgn ber damark cheek.’? To get rid of euch reflections, I turned my steps to where @ blaze of light and a burst of music an- nounced that Jight hearts and tripping feet were treading the mazes of the dance, when, as I reached the door of the ball room, I saw my melancholy beauty whirling about in the polka embrace of a most be cag dandy, her cheeks flushed with exer- cise, and no trace of heaviness or sorrow on her brow. All the romance which I had begun to attach to her was thus in an instant rudely dissipated, and having inquired and learned that she was one of our New York belles, I vanished from the vestibule ef the ball room, which | dared not enter, after such a denouement, and in five minutes my fancy was deoply engrossed by Scott’s ‘ Pirate,” which I found on the shelves of the library. inna and B: s Norna of the fitful head, Teiebelorans Yollowley and Mrs. Baby, crowded out all aaghis of my inamo- vata, and my dreams were not intruded upon by any visions of her gentle countenance. The principal village of that eccentric community ——the Shakers—lies within two miles of the am ith- Of course I could not think of leaving Lebanon out seeing this most marvelleus of all curiosities, a sect of people who are rebels to the groat original mandate, .“* Goforth and multiply, ae replenish the earth,” and who are so supernal and platonic in their affections that they can trust thomselves to live together—male and female—without fear- ing the arrows of the rosy Godoflove. A leisurely stroll along an excellent road brought me to. gen- tle eminence, shaded with lofty trees, and in the easy slope of which is situated the Shaker village. There is an air of prosperity, and even opulence, about the place, which impreases the beholder with a conviction of the thrift, tact, and good taste, of the busy workers in this human hive. The village was established upwards of sixty years ago, by a few disciples and teachers of the queer new doctrine, and it now contains a wealthy community of some six hundred persons. Five or six lees six story edifices Geingipally frame) are the dwelling houses of the sect. There is a sort of distinction main- tained between the sexes, as they occupy distinct pare che of the building. Eath brother and sister as a bedroom neatly carpeted and furnished, but all take their meals in the common diniag room, Barns, stables, stores, factories, and work- shops, give evidence of business and thrift. The bre- thren are engaged at the various cally cen tpasiane to which they ure best adapted; furming, hortieul ture, the mechanical arte, tanning, attending to the cattle, cutting timber, and travelling round the country in wagons, disposing of their manuf:ctures and farm produce. An extensive business is carried on by themin rearing and drying seeds of pli and in making simple vegetable extracts, modicines, oils, powders, and linime which are very gone- maily esteemed, and are to be prosured in almost every druggist’s throughont the States. The women are ulse occupied in various departments of business, making hats, matting, curpets, baskets, aud other such wares as come within the range of feminine la- bor, and in cookirg, housekeeping, &e. The man- agement of their temporal nflairs is coumitted to trustees, appointed by the elders and ministry—the | Jatter being composed of both sexes, and holding the leading authority of the society. The commu- nity is divided into several different brinches, called famibes, and they have also three progressive deg of order, viz: the Novitiate, Junior, and Senior cla: They receive iples of every age and condition, young and old, male and female, such as have propeity and such as have noue. The former are at liberty to donate their possessions to the society if the spirit moves them so todo, or thoy may simply eptrust it to the mavagement of the trustees, and re: it at whatever time they may take a notion of leaving. Such as bring no property into the association are net entitled to any com- Tensation for their lubor performed during the pe- nod of their residence; of conrse, any porson is at liberty to leave when if suits his inclinations, or that a revival of region takes place within hin. There are in the Uvited States eighteen shaker estabishments, but this of New Lebanon is the oldest and most important. They own some five thoasant acres of land bere, and from their industrious and saving habits, the association is now very wealthy and piosperous. They are, however, a most nncom- Tuunicative set of mortals, and will not give much information to strangers on such points, it being very ‘iffieult to get anything ont of them bat the syllables “ce,” “noe,” which, being interpret- sMmcain yesavd no.

The chittcen in school are rigged out in the same style, and their vacant, idiotic countenances evince the violent distortion of the natural fecee of childhood to which they have been subjected. An unbeliover in tho Shaker pu- rity would wonder how there came to be children in such a community, but his skepticism ought to be satisficd with the explanation that they are adopted, not native born members, and that 2 com- mittee appointed by Con somo few years since, reported, as the resul! their investigations, that | the Shakers were re! usly observant of theirrules Of faith, of which virgin purity, strict temperance, ard a lite of innocence, are the chief baves.

Having spent some hours in sceing the elephant in the shaker village, I strolled leisurely back to the hotel, and, next morning, bade adieu to Lebanon with something of regret.

The story is short—® want of provirions. The worthy proprietor of this menagerie, like others of his ‘class, I dare > counts upon being paid for his show; and ag riod for exhibition ia short, it would not do for ‘im to be too lavish in his expenditures for the keep of tho objects of his care ; there is, therefore, some nalleitads sanihited at, feeding time at ae what is going, 9s it not unfrequent the same article of food is ie nek Te several parece the same table, and at several tablos, at he same time This very naturally begets a cer- tain conflict of interests, and leads to an occasional defeat—ecce, the lo! . Very well, the gentle- man who was the ion of the stampede, while at dinner yesterday, bad laid his hand on some dish near him, and was in the act of helping his party and himself from it, when a waiter from some Temote quarter came up and attempted to take the. dish from him.; this he and told him he could not have it. The warter insisted on taking it, making the appropriate demonstration, upon which the gentleman struck him in tho face; and after: and oaths, the waiter retired. ‘The H 5 some reapers} roprictor of the house, on being informed of what ad happened, dismissed the waiter; and this morn- ing, just before the gong sounded for breakfast, a large body of the waiters went to the office and de- mauded the restoration of the dismissed man, upon pain of their refusul to dance attendance at the forth coming repast The landlord, ina moment of weak ness clearly, resended his order of dismissal, and restored the offender. A few moments after, whil) tho “helps” were fresh from their triumph, the un fortunate gentleman made his appearance in th breakfast hall Having seated himself, ono of th head waiters came up for bis order, and he had searcely asked for it, when one of the others, em- boldened by the fesbleness which had jast been exhibited in the administration of the establishment, stepped up and said to bi ior: —“‘ If you tako that man’s order. or do anything for him, we will take you out and half murder you.” In this he was seconded by others, who came up in such numbers, as to make it plain they were Prepac for any sum- mary measures. Feeling himself endangered, tho assa‘led party rose from the table. drew his pistols, and the stampede began with “ such a getting up stairs” as I have mentioned. The points in the case are, first, the want of an adequate supply of provisions, especially scolloped oysters ; secondly, a want of firmuess in the admin- istration; thirdly, the want of that dignified self- command which a!) gentlemen should have, when they place themselves in situations where the pinch- ings of hunger, not to say thirst—for it is awful thirsty here—are apt to prompt to insolent snatching by paid wuiters. When a gentleman so forgets him- self as to bandy words, not to say blows, with a waiter, he mus’ expect nothing short of words and blows in return. A quiet, gentle deportment to- wards inferiors, will do more to secure their respect, than apy amount of denunciation and swagger. Upon the whole. however, taking the thing altoge- ther , from first te lost, not omitting the creole of Jerusalem and his lust lobster, it is the incident of the cason.
