We are glad to inform our readers that the set
tlement of this prolific source of discord between
the United States and Great Britain, is one of the
matters entrusted to Lord Ashburton, the Special
Minister of Queen Victoria, to this country. Sev-
ral interviews upon the subject have already la
: en placo between his lordship and Daniel Web
t.?er, the result of which has been communicated
to Governor Fairfield, of Maine, in which State
the disputed territory lies. Gov. Fairfield has al
so issued a Proclamation for the Legislature of
Maine, to convene cn the 18th of May, inst., to
consider and determine upon the propositions
vhich will be made to them, and to take such
other steps as the interests of the country may
require.
We entertain a strong hope that this vexed ques
tion will now at length be put at rest, and settled
in a manner highly honorable to the United States.
t is the true policy of England to maintain peace
-.ilh this country. The recent defeat of her arms
in India, where near 10,000 of the flower of her
r rmy was destroyed her war with China, which.
ji order to be carried on with vigor, requires a
:arge portion of her available naval and military
forces and the great domestic difficulties of her
people, are all matters which forbid the idea of
her going to war with the United Stales. It is
I;er interest then to settle the points at variance
between us, and secure our friendship. To effect
this, she will, in our opinion, be willing to do us
full justice, and rather yield a little than to inter
pose any difficulties in the adjustment of the points

Matters have come to an alarming crisis, in
Rhode Island, for there are two Governors and
two Legislatures in the State, claiming to be re
cognized as such by the people. Mr. Dorr, was
inaugurated Governor by the free suffrage party,
yesterday a week; and Gov. King, the late Exec
utive, was re-installed in office last Wednesday.
The State House, at Newport, has been closed,
and is in possession of the Sheriff of the County.
The old State authorities have removed to Provi
dence, where Gov. lung and his Legislature have
been in Session during the past week. Mr. Dorr,
and his Legislature, did not take possession of the
State House, as they had threatened to do. but
have held their sittings in an unfinished Iron
Foundry, in Newport. On Thursday, a Mr. Brown,
one of the Members of the free suffrage Legisla
ture, was arrested for treason, at the instance of
Gov. King, but was afterwards loft to Bail by the
Chief Justice in the sum of $15,000. This will
bring the claims of the two parties before a judcial
tribunal, and be the mear.3 of settling which has
the right to govern. Both parties, it is said, have
sent to Washington for aid from the General
Government; but what countenance they have re
ceived, has not yet transpired.
KmporJactt to Bankrupts.
The Petitioners for the Benefit of the Bankrupt
Laws, and those of their Creditors who may be
desirous of opposing their discharge, will no doubt
be glad to learn that Judge Randall has ordered
the examination of the Petitioner to take place be
fore the Commissioner of the County where the
Bankrupt resides. This is highly important to
those interested, and will save considerable ex
pense to both parties, who would otherwise be
obliged to travel to Philadelphia where the Court
holds its sittings.

TJte ApporSiemnciit Bill.
This important Bill has passed the lower House
of Congress, with the ratio of representation fixed
at 50,179; and a clause requiring the several States
to be laid off so that no District shall elect more
than one Member. It will most probably pass the j
Senate without amendment. Although the Con-
:tution of the United States, had given Congress
.iQ power to specify how, and in what manner, the
Members of that body should be elected, this is

The New York Herald says, that Captain Tyler
will shortly make about -1000 removals from of
fice; that he will sweep both the Clay Whigs and
the Loco Foco brawlers ; and retain none but those
who are friendly to his measures and will support
his administration. In our opinion the Captain
will have some difficulty in carrying his resolu
tion into effect; for we do not believe that lie can
find half the contemplated number of men in the
Union who are either foolish or wicked enough to

to the removal of public officers.

"a heggarly account of empty boxes" this morn

The bills from the Senate which were passed
yesterday and the day previous (all of them

The orders of the day were called for, being
the unfinished business of Saturday last. This
was a motion submitted by Mr. Wise to print
the Reports of Messrs. Stuart, Kelley and Brad

to examine into the condition of the New York
Custom House.
Mr. Underwood qf Kv.. was entitled to the
floor upon this subject, and opposed the motion
to print the documents, upon the ground of the
great expense which would be incurred, and for
other reasons.
Mr. Proffit replied, vindicating the President
and the Secretary of the Treasury from the

liferent modes of electing Members, New-Jersey,
has at this moment three times the strength upon
the floor of Congress (on questions of general im
portance) that Penns)-lvania has. This must be
apparent to every one, when they remember that
the Locos in this State have 15 members and the
Whigs 13, a difference of two; whilst New-Jersey
has a solid Whig Delegation of G, who are united

As we predicted, George Handy, Daniel M.
Brodhead, and Mr. Solms, the individuals who
were arrested by order of Governor Porter on the
charge of having been engaged in bribing the
Members of the Legislature in 1840, and others,
have been discharged. What else could have
been expected, when all who were known to have
participated in the crime were included in the
prosecution. Why did not the Attorney General

in order to accommodate this additional number
of members, the desks will have to be removed
from lhe Hall; a measure which we think will be
highly conducive to short sessions. For Members
will then no longer be able to occupy their time in
the House, in writing letters, and tending to other
j.rivate matters. In order not to increase the ex

be aitered, and the franking privilege modified. If
this is done, we earnestly believe that the country

of her sworn servants permitting themselves to be

By the steamer Caledonia, of Cunard's Line,
which vessel arrived at Boston, Thursday morn

19th April the day of sailing. There is no
news of particular or exciting interest. The
Corn Bill has passed the ordeal of opposition
the income tax has been virtually carried, and
the tariff has been so altered as to conciliate
most of those who might have been injured by
its enactment; at the same time all the leading
features having been preserved. Cotton had
improved particularly American, and trade in
that article was quite active. The distress in
the manufacturing districts continued as pain
ful as ever.
The Overland Mail, from India, was hourly
expected, as the arrangements to reduce the
time between Suez and Bombay from eighteen
to twelve days, were reported at the last arri
val to be nearly completed.
Troops lor India, in considerable numbers,
were assembling at Canterbury, Gravesend, and
Tilbury Fort, and ihe embarkation of the men
was going on with activity. Ihree additional
regiments have been ordered to that country
the Seventy-Eighth Highlanders, the Tenth
toot, and the Ninth Lancers.

Ireland.- I he trouble in Ireland, arising
principally from the scarcity of provisions, the
want of employment, and disaflection with the
government, wore every day assuming a more
alarming aspect. Murders, robberies, and other
outrages upon the lws, were of frequent occur
rence all showing a laxity of moral restraint,
and a desperate determination not to obey the
behests of lory rule. The complaint was, that
the government, amidst all its proposed mea
sures, did not contemplate doing any thing for
Ireland, or to lighten the burdens which weigh-
co down us energies.
A large number of houses in the neighbour
hood of Doonbeg, county Clair, Ireland, were
recently carried away by a flood, and several
men lost their lives in attempting to save some
cattle.
The assertion recently made by Sir Robert
Peel in Parliament, that tho temperance refor
mation had not diminished the quantity of ardent
spirits imported into Ireland, is stoutly contra
dicted by tho Irish whig papers, and is consid

prejudices against the Irish people.

A Lesson for Scolding- Wives
"And I dare say you have scolded your wife
vory often, Newman," said 1, once. Old New
man looked down, and the wife took un the re
ply. "Never lo signify and if he has, I deserve
it." "And I daresay, if the truth were told,
you hnve scolded him quite as often." "Nay,"
said the old woman, with a beauty of kindlier
which all the pootry in the world cannot oxcel,
"how can a wile scold her good man, who has
been working for her and her little ones all the
day? It muy do for a man- to bo peevish, for
it is he who bears the crossness of the world;
hut who should make him forget them but his
own wife? And she had best, for own sake
for nobody can scold much when the scolding
is all on ono side." Bulwer's Student.
