The Oregon bounda'fy question is still unset tled, aud'the subject Of as niudh speculation as ever. Every day brings with it some new ru :mor, either to soothe or trouble the community. One of the latest 13, that a letter was received -in Mew York, on Wednesday lost, from'a mem Tber of the Cabinet at Washington, to the'effect that a settlement had been concluded in 'Lon don, between the British Government and Mr. McLane, the American Minister, on the basis of the 49ih degree. Of course there is no truth in the rumor, and it was probably got up mere ly 'for the purpose of affecting the Slock Mar ket, and enabling the speculators to pluck green-horns? iradVnlly Acquitted. Caleb J. McNulty, the defaulting :Loco "Foco Clerk of the late. House -of Representatives, was tried in Washington City, last week, on the charge of having embezzled a large amount t)f government funds, and acquitted by means of some legal technicality. There are still two or three Indictments against him, -undisposed of, and he was committed to prison lo answer them. A Rich CotigreffiUioii. The people of New York are beginning to be rich, not only in an individual, but also in a collective capacity. We see it slated in one of our exchanges, that the Congregation of Trinity Church, in that city, is estimated to be worth vne hundred millions of dollars in Real Estate SSO.000,000 ; and other property $20,000,000. This is almost equal to the wealth of some of "the Monastery's and old Cathedrals of Europe. The congregation was possessed of considera 'Me land, in the heart of the ctiVj whilst it was yet thinly inhabited, and the increase of popu lation and business has since rendered il thus valuable. "Water JuTclons aud Green Corn on Christmas We learn -from the Philadelphia Ledger, that Mr. Samuel RhfneaT, of Burlington, N. J., pre sented a friend with a Water Melon, on Christ inas day, 16 inches long, which was sound, .plump and green as if just taken from the vine. Nathan Stowell, a veteran horticulturalist, -of ihe same place, on the same day presented one of his lady patrons, a dozen ears of Green Corn, .preserved in as good condition for boiling, as if gathered in Summer. The IVew Year. AVe wish our readers Hl a happy New Year' The Battle of Treuta. "The anniversary of the battle of Trenton, was celebrated at that place on Friday last, the 26th of December, by a sham-jight. Several -volunteer companies from a distance were pres ent and participated in the " mimic battle." i. Postage. '' The Ohio Legislature have passed a Kosolu- tion, instructing their Senators, and requesting their Representatives in Congress, to vote a gainsi any proposition to increase the present rates of postage. Judge Woodward. The President has appointed the Hon. George W. Woodward, of this State, Judge of the Su preme Court of ihe United States, in the place of the Hon. Henry Baldwin, deceased. The appointment lias caused great dissatisfaction in -some quarters, and the Senate have not yet confirmed It. Confirmations. During Vhe past week the Senate of the Uni led States has confirmed the nominations of Messrs. Woodbury and McLane, by a unani mous vote. The former to be a Judge of tiro Supreme Court, and the latter as Minister to England. A college in Oregon is being established un der the auspices of the Methodist missionaries, A building seventy-five feet long and three sto. ries high has been erected. The Hon. Godlut-eS. Orih,(Vhig.) has been chosen Speaker of the Senate of Indiana. Why are the ladies like Uncle Sam's Mail Coaches ? Because they carry most of their baggage behind. ' - ' JTJ3 In ihe Senate, on Monday last, Mr. Levy offered a resolution declaring the expedi ency of negotiating with Spain for the cession io this country of the Island of Cuba. Suppose ourGovemment should send the honorable gen tleman to inquire whether Spain would take a Levy for the Island. We could spare that a mount of our small change very well. It is true, Spain might possibly think we wished to Jew her out of her property ; but if, on the con trary, the tender should be well received, wo should soon have Cuba knocking at the door of the -Capitol, and presenting a ticket inscribed " Admit the bearer price one shilling." Suc cess to annexation ! Let's send Duff Green to Portugal to treat for the Cape de Vcrds ! Belvidere Apollo. Another of Mr. Clay's Tradocers. The Rev. Dr. Scott, who, 'during the late Presiden tial election canvass, stated that Mr. Clay play ed cards on the Sabbath, is now on trial before the Presbytery of Louisiana, charged with pre varication with conduct unbecoming a minis ter of the religion of Christ, or that of a gentle man with teaching and promulgating doctrines adverse to the solemn obligations :he took when admitted to the ministry, and -calculated to sub vert the doctrines generally received and be lieved in by the Presbyterians of the U. "States, and also assuming a control in the sectrtaT mas ters of his church unbecoming his station. Host Singular. A few mornings since, the person-who drives the stage on the Eastou route, when about 12 or 13 miles from here, and within 2 or 3 miles of his stopping place, observed a forefoot drop from one of his horses. The horse continued 'to make his way along, until within about one mile of the slopping place, when the other fore foot separated from the leg. One foot separa ted at the lower.joint, at the edge of the hoof, the other between that aud the fetterlock. The driver whose feelings were most painful, as evinced by the falling tear, as he could afford the poor horse no relief there, permitted him to walk on slowly to the stopping place, hobbling along on the stumps. "Soon after reaching the tavern, the sure aim of a marksman relieved the horse of his misery. We note' it as a most singular circumstance. The only attempt to account for it, that we have heard of, was a sup position that the separation was caused by ex hiliarating drugs, which it is said some drivers sometimes give their horses, but which had not been given to this horse during the few weeks he was in charge of the present driver. fWifkes-Bafre Advocate. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Ire land to a friend in Baltimore, dated November 30, 1845: " I suppose you imagine from the newspaper accounts that we shall all starve in Ireland be foretiext harvest. No such thing is feared here, as there is quite a plenty of provisions in the -country if they are left in it. A great deal of the potatoe crop has rotted ; but even if one fourth of the whole is lost, (which I doubt,) there is yelati average one remaining sound, as, in the memory of man, there has never been such an abundant one, both as to the quantity planted and the return from the planting. ' I had fiom three English acres of land about eight thousand stone of potatoes (stone 14 lbs.) in quality like flour ; nor did I lose eight stone out of the whole of ihem, having ta ken timely precautions. The best are now sel ling in this market at 2 l-2d. 5 cents) per utone. Fifteen Feet of Snow at Quebec, Can ada. The Quebec Gazette, of the 5ih inst., says ihat for the previous eight days the weath er has been more severe in that city than it was in the frightful climate of Moscow in 1812. The thermometer was down to len degrees be low zero, and the snow lies in heaps more than fifteen feet depp, and then falling &o thick that it was impossible to see at a distance of a few feet. "The broad St. Lawrence is not only covered with floating ice, but it is heaped one piece above another, rendering it almost impos sible even for the hardy canoemen of Point Levy to cross." Henry Whiteneck, a respectable citizen Hunterdon county, N. J., aged fifty two years. was engaged on he 3d inst.. in maktnt! the cof fin for a person who died the same day, when be was observed to be falling, and died in about three hours. Militia. The Militia expenses of Pennsyl vania, during the year ending on the 30th of November, 1845, were $18,831 92, while the receipts for militia fines during the same time, were only $7,838 18. "Variety is the pce of life," as a shoe maker said when he waschewing'wax, leather and tobacco, all at once. ' '' " The Coal Trade. The Carbon County Gazette, of last week gives the final report of the Lehigh for the sea son, and says : " The whole amount of coal shipped from the Lehigh Mines this season, as will be seen by the report is From R.

Iron. The following estimated cost of the manu facture of a ton of anthracite Iron is given in the Wilkesbarre Ad.ocate : 2 1-2 tons of ore, worth, at the Furnace $0.80 1-2 ion Coal 2,50 Limestone 1.40 Labor 3,60 Cost of making a ton of Anthracite iron, $15,50 Carriage to market, 4,50 1 9,00 ; Iron sells at $30 per ton 30,00 -$11,00 which leaves a profit of per ton to the Manufacturer. Thewriter makes no deduction for the in terest, the cost of the furnace, or for the cost of keeping it in repair. This however, under or dinary circumstances, would not exceed one dollar per ton, leaving still a profit of $10 per ton. Cheap liiviug.

A correspon dent of an exchange paper, stales that a rail fence, laid " in the old of the moon," will sink into the ground from six to ten inches in a short time; but if laid at other times it would not sink; that shingles nailed on the roof of a house " in the new of the moon," soon throw out the J nails; that a crop sown in the new of the moon, lis more affected by that planet, than a crop which grows during all other stages of the moon's changes, through several mouths ; and that bheep shear heaviest "in the going up of the moon" than otherwise. lie might have ad ded that wood drawn in the new of the moon would afford twice as many cords as if 'drawn at other times.

With one of the finest climates in the globe, no imagination can tell its proba ble increase iu a few years, The doings of a Miscr--Siran;seAf fair. A friend tells us (says the New York Trib une) the following singular story : Several years ago, one Richard French, of Philadel phia, who was supposed to be in moderate cir cumstances, became endorser for some six or seven hundred dollars for the man who em ployed him as a clerk. His employer failed, and French was compelled to pay the amount for which he was bound. This reduced him, as he pretended, to poverty, and his friends were applied lo for aid in his behalf. The Le high Coal Company took him into its employ for a time as a clerk, paying him moderate wa ges, and afterwards furnishing him with a house rent free. Two friends paid Jihu each twenty five cents per week, and the Overseers of the Poor allowed him fifty cents more, to defray the expen-.es of himself am! wife. A little more than a year ago, he came to this city to collect a small . debt, aud dining his stay was charitably entertained by the friend who tells .us the story. lie professed to be very low spirited, aud ued (o mourn piteously over the unfortunaie circumstance which had reduced him, as he pretended, to poverty. A shojt time since he died, when it appeared that he was worth upwards of $30,000, and had pretended to be poor in order io gratify a- mUerly dispo sition. A strange affair, truly.

They declare that twenty-five companies, of 100 families each, are about leaving Nauvoo for California, and it is said that the wagons which will convey them end their baggage will num ber 5000, and will form a line of 25 miles long.

From the Cincinnati Times.) DYSPEPSIA OF 10 YEARS STANDING. The wife of Captain Roberts, on Vine street, near Water, Cincinnati, has been afflicted with DYSPEPSIA in its most aggravated form for the last ten years, was recommended by cele brated physicians of Boston, New York, Phil adelphia, Baltimore, and Cincinnati, to travel, as they could do nothing for her. She did so, but it did her no good. She then commenced using the most popular medicines of the day for her complaints, but derived no benefit. See ing an advertisement of DR. SMITH'S VEG ETABLE SUGAR COATED PILLS in the paper, she. concluded to give them a trial sent to G. F. Thomas', Main Street, between Third and Fourth, Dr. Smith's Agent for Cincinnati, aud purchased a box, took them according to direction, and can with heart-felt joy state that .the derived more benefit from the use of on box of Dr. Smith's Sugar Coated Vegetable Pills, than from uny other medicine she has made use of during the ten years.. The above was sent to G. F. Thomas on the third day of December, 1844. Dealers furnished at the New York College o Health, 179 Greenwich street, New York, and sold by Agents in Monroe Co. Schoch &.
