No particular attention was at the table to the woman, as none snap ane meditated the injury or murder of any of thovw present. She rcae from the table, and stepping up to where iislinger was aitticg, in an instant piunged it wto his :ight rile, just above the liver, and there lett it. er victim without «peaking a word ‘ell upon the floor, when she drew beck and exclaimed, “I have kil- tea & Jucas!”? and then ran dowa stairs ‘and into the street.

No provision shall be considered adequa’e | which is Jess then $—— for each siave einaucipated: ant ; 20 emavic'pation shall be made to take effect in future" | _ Motions were pendivg to fill the blank respectively | with “25077 +100" aad “00,’" which were withdcaw Mr. GARsert remarked that’ the House yesterday bad Geclared vgainst ail farure emancipation by last will and Tes'sment, but that aubsequenty a claus wat iatro- | ducec anc acopted. The effest of which was virtually reverse that ceclsion, With ajview to enable the ger man from Fravk in, (Mr. Fdwards) wao expressed a to do #0, to make @ motion to reconsider the vate by which teat clause was adopted, he wocli withdraw bis proposition to fili the blanc with - " Toe other motions to fill the plank, viz, with * 106" and ‘* 60,’ were alto withdrawn. _ Mr, Enwarps then made his motion to re-sonsider, which was ag ced to, right to emancipate by will, except for meritorious 2er- vices. f+ said that this rignt of emancipation was the right of apmibilation which the law did not reenguise He +sidm men should erjoy at bia death the largest right to dispose cf bis property among the community as he though: proper. He maintained that the right of emaucipation, wbich was the right of annihilation, shoula be very different, and that the right should be withoec except under the cireumstanc:s tadicated. ‘Mr. CLAINORNE cock opposite ground from the gentle. wan irom Harrison (Mr. Jobnstom). He maintained that an individual the right to suniilate bis property, provided such annibilation was not attended with any divadvantage to his neighbors. Mr. Hor aaid that immodiately before the adjourn- ment of the House yesterdsy, he mace a remark taat there bad been sn issue presented in the dircussion of this subjec: upon waich he desired to be heard. He re- ferred 10 what he considered to ve a fair inferense from the argument of the gentieman from Es- sex (Mr. Garnett), that there was a party ia the House who fuvored the gradual emancipstion of the slaves of the commonweaitu. He was certala with reference to his own position, and vou.d take to speak for the House upon that 8 satisfiec, from the explanation of the gen.lemaa, that tt was not his intention to csst any aspersion upoa mem- bers of the House, many ot whom represented the largest aleveholdiog communities of the com wealth. He deen co it proper, aa the representative ot « slavanoiding community, to correct any report whica might have gone ab-cad ca/culated to create an impression toat there was in the Houre a party favori y measure whica looked to zredual emencipation. He wes anxious, for the sake of the State of Virginia, and, he woulc say, the Souta at large, to remove that impression. The explanation of the geutieman trem Essex (Me. Garrett) was calculated, he had no douot, to remove ali auch impressions, With reference to the arguinent of ths gsativman from Aarri- son, (»r. Johaston,) he took the ground that aa indi- viduai hed not the right to annihilate his property. That eas so, when such ansibilation waa attended with to your neighbor. The Leyislature may take the ition *hat ne man ehall emancipate his slave, not be- por cause he has not a rignt to do what be pleases with his ows property, but because it may be injurious $2 the public interests. Mr. GaRNETT said, that the reason why he did not pro- poce to provide for emancipation by deed, wae, that you could net prohibit acy man trom takiog his s.ave out of the commonwealth and setting bim free. He held that the position which ail states in waich slavery exus ed, now ocenpy, was that the right of property in slaves in- volved necessarily the existence of every attribats of | property, He meant by that, that if be had a good | right to hele this species of property, mo man could deny | the exercise of every right which tle Jegs! possession of | that property ¢evolyer upon him. if there waa a diffi- | culty with reference to the exaacipation of slaves by Geed, it was bacause no law could «vercome it, Tais is @ question tuat should be approached delusately, for it ia- volves the enunciation of a prinziple in regard to this preper'y. in erences tom whicn night be drawa which | woulo net suit our views or interests, and which might be employed aa am argument by Nortporners against the propriety of perpetuating thit institusion. If be did not Gesire the embodiment of a provision in the bill probidit- ing emancipation by deed it eas because of the lega: dif- ficul y in the war, and not thet be did not deem it the best Course in order to consolidate and perpetaate en in- stitution, the neseasity {.c which public opision was every cay conceding wore and more. Mr. Léncrrrt eaid that while he regarded the cyndition of the sisve as beng far batter than tuat of the free negro, yet he was opposed to the amendment of the gen- ulemen from Freex, (bir. Garnett.) as lao to the whole rection. He said if euen a priactple was Inid dowo—that of probibiting a man from disposing by will of ‘his slaves as he thought pr whether to emancipate them or other wiee—-it wor 11 probabi ity, be made hereafter to apply to other epscien if property. It was a janger- | ous principle, ‘or ic interiered to some extent with the | right of property, ard he should therefore vote agaics it. ['o mainta ned that if @ person had a right to dispose of fis property in slaves by derd, be had a right to do it y wil. Toco away with the right in thelat-er ins‘xn-e, would be to control ana affoct the right in the former {n- stance. Mr. CLAYHROOK #” thst in regard to the i pied ;what might be called an extrene garded it not in the light of a moral evil, but 8 bleseing—s Ddlesring to the slave and a bivesing to ibe white man. He believed, however, that he should vote for the amendment teat had been offered by the gea- Verman from Norfolk, (Mr. Mallory.) Hts position origi- nally, was that in“tcated by the gentlewan ‘rom Ri. mond, who cffered the aueniment yesterday. (This ia the smendr eat wittin brackets, and the one penciag.) Ho» luld to that as the true position which they shoula ceeupy. Suppose that amencment was stricken out, whet would be the coriequencet They were utteriy torbicden f-om emancipating their slaves by last will o: testament. He bad several objections to it—firs, that it amounted to simort an ca ice restriction jon emanei- pations. Emenoipstions by deeta were ex iremely rare, ard for the reason that a man’s owa in- terest ia the property be holds in his possession, end fiom which he is receiving his proid'a, ren- cored it natoredy against his inclination t> emanci- pate, by deed, tha; property. Ani tence, he said, tha’ ewancipations by ceed were extremely rare. Hz covtend- bat it was, under those circumsstances, proper to leave with the master the right to emancipate by will, if only to furrich an argument against Norshern sboli- ticniste, who seem to think that no such attachment dcos exist Letween master and elave as to irdace the former to ve: Lim free at his demire. | Mr. Beawert. of Beéford, waa in favor of granting the right of emencipation by jas: willor testament. He said that the transfer of our free negroes iato the Northern len, whieh would follow this right of emancipation, would do much to prove to the abo ftionists that atavery as tathera dievsirg than an evil as they contended; ey would learn more fally what the character of to itution of | race was, etter they had @ sufficient umber of them to | wield an influence in their social and political aysven. | Moreover, trey would beget an injurious coropotition in labor, which would bave the effect of arousing those with whom they came into competition to a sense of the bless. | ings of slavery. | Mr. Gansiat replied to the several remarks in opposi- | ton to bik amencment, iu a speoch of great abi ity. Mr. STANARD was Opposed to any interference with the ight of any roan to cispose of bis property as he ploased, except so iar ax might be inesnaistent with public policy. ‘The question on reinserting Mr Murdaugh’s motion waa then put, and the question bewwg taken py yeas and nays, was decided In the afiirmative. as 60, days 16. Mr. Garxett thea moved ty fill the blank ia the clause < moved to All {* with “100,” The question on Mr. Garnett’s amendment was decided | im the negative ayer 25, noes 01. Mr. Newlon’s amendment was then agreed to. Mr. Frovp moved to strike out the clavse repealing the seventeenth section of chapter 107, which is as follows :— ‘<The court of any county or corporation, upon satistac- tory proof by a white person, of the tact, may grant t> any free perron of mixed blood, resident therein, a certi- ficate that be is not » negro, which certificate shall pro- teet such person against the penalties and disabilities to which free negroes are kubject as such. Division of Minnesota Territory. {From the St. Pan! Democrat, Feo. 21.] Mr. Rolette, of the Counc 1, has introduced a memorial to C ing the division of the ferritory, on the deg. 10 min. from the St. Croix to tne Mis- Althongh we may rot be satisfied with the exact line selected by Mr. Rolette, we must heartily concur ia the necessity 8 divisicn of the Territory on a line run- ning due east and west, and believe that, under no cir i — should the line extend beyond the 46th parallel, A# a compromise, we would be well satisfied with the line of 46 deg. 30 min , as that line would probably bet- = *uit the natura! formation of the country than any other. The necestity, however, for a new Territorial organiza- tion in apparent to all, and we would by no means aliow any preference we may have for any particulsr line to induce ue to oppore a measure of so touch importance to the best interests of Minnesota; and we hope the Laegisla. tare, in acting upon this question, will cast aside local prejudices, where they may conflict with the general good of out entire Territory. Minnesota, at present, ia equal to five and « half de green af | e and eight degrees of longitnde, contain. 'rg territory equal to tour States the size of lowa, and bore than equal to five States the size of Indiana. Toat all this territory eh be incorporated into one State is out of the questicn. That it wr] eventually be divided | into four Sates i# highly probable. It is there’ore im- portant that the Terrisory should now be divided in suca ner thet, eventually, two States may be fzrmed from nesote, and two from the Territory to beset off north. it may be urged that much of the ferrfory north is fn # region too coid and imhorpiteble to be suscep ‘ible of set nent, and that there is no prospect for the formation of two States from the northern territory as proposed to ve divided. This we bold to be untenable, and the pro- gress of settlements in the territory northwest of the Ohio demonstraces the tallacy of suca reasoning. It is within our memory when the country no ing the flourishing States of Iowa and Wisco deene Jess susceptiole of improvement than the northern portion of our Territory is now supposed to be. | /vperience has shown that even jar beyond our own line, | in the Territory of the Hatson’s Bay Company, wheat is gcown in a» great abundance in comparison to the d cultivated, and isa much surer crop nor lincix, Nature has provi¢ed tor | parts of oar Territory, but in the orthern j.orti ons, other wulta than that of agricul. ture will lead to rapid settlement, The minerol and lum bering iniereets of the north will fill it with a dense po. pulation within a very few years We con see no objection againit, bait many | reasons it favor of the to the forma ion of # ut nw promote | de enyew sourl, agriey the rottloment witiin the tions for tha support of two Territorial governments witcin our preseat Lmits would bs impor- tert. The exvent over which our seitlements have reached calls for a division, for the convenience of the people and good government of the Territory. The want of a valty of interes'a between the southern and north- ern portions of our Tsrritory is @ subject intimately con- nected with a division thous: not least, among the reasons we shall offer at this time, is thst, within a short period a portion of the Terrrisory will form a State constitution, and unless the Terri: ory is previously di- vided, the convecticn for the formation of thet cons itu- tion must be composed of representatives from a portion of the Tecit>ory which will not be in-laded with- in the State. Rep eseatatives would participate in tne adoption of » coustituiion that they wil! have to expec- tation of beirg subjected to. This would be injastice to the people of the State. As we pefore auid. we will not endorse the line prooosed by Bir. Roletie, bat we donot hesitate to ay chat an east and west division of our Territory should bs made, end us ba lice by no meaas extend north of the Forty-six ia parsitel. The Mosquito King—father and Son, In lecture in New Orleans on the 25th iast., Dr. | McBean gave an amusing account of an interview he oace had with the yourg Musquito Kiog, who was dressei in he full costume of h‘s country, t> wit: s straw hat and ar, The young sovere' king Bob, was very drual when he sold his lanas to Capt. Sheppard, of Greytown, and that therefore tna gent or rale was mot valid. This is the grant which Cl. Kinney bas purchased, and under whish he claims a vast region of territory. It is about as valid as the Eoglisa ciaim to Grevtown and the Mosquito coast, and neith party appears to have consulted the government of Tegua, the oniy real aud undoubted owner. This old Kiog Bob by the way, waa a curiosity. H» was excessively foud of rum and todacco, in which he was supplied by tbe kngitsh from Jamaics, About the time he latter first began to turn their serious atten- jon to the acquisition of territory iu Cea:ral Amsrica, King George the “h'rd sen’ ble brother a richly ormameated general’a coat and cocked bi ‘was excessively delighted with his present, and took every occasion to exhicit himself in his new dress. Tne captain cf the English war vessel which conveyei the preset, wishing to do honor to the recipient of nis sove- reiga’s bounty, gave a grand entertainment on board, and invited King Bob aud h's court t> be present. The Istrer came, and as they approached the vessel the captain was gratified to perceive that King Bob was dressed in the coat aod hat ho had just received, But what was the astontehmenxt and consternation of all to perceive. whea he bearded the vessel, that he had nothiug else on! Tae Tudicrous wppearance which the old Indian must have presented, drassed in a richly laced red coat, with the tai's hanging down pehind, and a full plumed c ceed hat and xo ether a ticle whatever, can bo better imagined than decribed. is oourt, of course, wore only the usual 8 FINANCIAI. AND MOxh¥Y MARKT, Tauxspay, March 6--6 P. M. With more activity in the market, lower prices COMMERCIAL. King Bob | said that his father, the | were realized at the first board today. Canton | Company declined 4 per cent; Pennsylvania Coal, 4; Harlem, 3; Michigan Central, {; Reading Railroad, 34. Galena and Chicago, Wisconsin Lake Shore, and Milwaukie and Mis day's prices. These stocks are not offered in large lots, and the purchases are entirely for investment. The returns so far, as received from the Western railrcads, for February, show very large earnings: and from this time forward their receipts will be un- usually large. The winter throughout has been so very severe that an early opening of the spring is among the probabilities. The opening of navigation at an early day is guarantced by the bulk of snow on the ground, and it is very likely that by the first of April we shall be further advanced in all spring operations than usual. From the West we expect the most favorable accounts of railroad trafic, par- ticularly on the new lines. Ag the returns come in the market value of all that class of securitics wil! appreciate in market value, and stocks which can now be purchased considerably below par will, be- fore the senson has far advanced, command prices considerably in advance of those now ruling. Capi. tal is gradualiy Lut steadily being withdrawn from the old inflated railroads of this State and New Eng- land, and finding investment in the new, cheaply constructed, productive railroads of the West, where | the fature is filled with the most extraordinary results. All the railroads in the oldest and most densely | populated sections of the country have seen their best days; they have all been constructed at an enormous cost, and are operated at an enormous | expense. Their earnings per mile, on four and five times the cost, are not equal to those of the Western roads. Railroads in Mlinois and Wisconsin which have cost but about twenty-five thousand dollars per maéle, earn more per mile than roads in New Pimgland which have cost seventy thousand doilars per mile. The New York Central Railroad cost, according to its capital and debt: 365,000 per mile, and its grose earnings amount to $10,000 per mile; while the Milwaukie and Missis- sippi Railroad, costing but about $25,000 per mile, earned last year (on au unfinished road) $7,000 per mile. At the same rate on the cost, the New York Central, to be placed on a level with the Milwaakie and Mississippi, should have earned last year $18,000 per mile, which would have given an aggre- gate income of $10,500,000, instead of $6,500,000, | { as reported. The New York Central is selling in this market at $24 per cent, while the Milwaukie and Mississippi is selling at &5 per cent. One is an | old inflated, watered, expensive, worn out road, while the other is a young, new, cheap, healthy, sound concern, with everything in the prospective encouraging and satisfactory. The difference be- tween the old roads of the East and the new roads of the West is in fact greater than appears by the above comparison of cost and earnings. Those of the West are in « new and growing country, and» as population increases and cultivation extends, they must become enormously productive. Most of them have been constructed at small cost compared with those of the East, and their manages tive avoided those blundersand mistakes ‘which have proved so fatal to railroads in this neigh- borhood. Under a proper system of management, we see no resson why the railroads of the West should not coutinue for all time as productive as at | the present. Jty the establishment of sinking and renewal funds, and the appropriation annually of a sum from the net earnings sufficient to meet all the requirements for these purposes, the capital and [ cost can be kept at a fixed point, and the property ina sound substantial condition. The net earnings of the most prominent lines are already so large that extravagant dividends can be paid without in- terfering with the necessary appropriations for all fature contingencies. It will be seen by the official reports of Western railroad companies that they ali have liberal sinking funds,and many of them renewal fonds. Where such a system of manage- ment exists the most carefal and cautious capi- talist need have no fears in investing his money.

We would like to he informed why the first and second mortgage bonds of the Hudson River Rail- road Company command at the Stock Exchange higher prices than are paid for the first and second | mortgage bonds of the Harlem Railroad Company? capital st of tae Had oo Le ssippi closedsateady at yester- | | | | i i | | | | River Railroad paid in is less than $4,000,000, while the amount of the capital stock of the Harlem Rail- road is about $6,000,000, The net earnings of both roads are about the samme. The amount of first mort" gage bonds issued by the Hudson River road is 34,000,000, and of second mortgage bonds $2,000,000, making a total of $6,000,000; while the amount of the first and second mortgage bonds of the Harlem Railroad is only $4,000,000. it certainly cannot be pretended that the Harlem Railroad is not as good security for $4,000,000, as the Hudson River road is for $6,000,000. Besides, the Harlem Railroad second mortgage bonds are secured by a special lien upon realestate in this city worth now $700,000, and which will be, doubtless, worth at least $1,000,000 before the maturity of this mortgage. We consider the first and second mortgage bonds of the Harlem Railroad as undoubted securities as any railroad mortgage bonds in the country. ‘The stock of Hudson River Railroad amounts 1m round numbers to.
