Duchess of Saxony, Leopold, Victoria, Albert Edward, Alfred, Alice, Augusta, George, Mary Adelaide.Every person present was presented with the marriage service, beautifully printed in red and gold, and bound in white and gold.INCIDENTS AT THE ROYAL MARRIAGE.It was announced that the doors of the chapel were not to be opened before ten o\u2019clock ; but there was no occasion to adhere to this rule very rigidly since none of the visitors who had ticlcets for the interior presented themselves till after the appointed time.The Right.Hon.M.T.Baines and Mrs.Baines were the first of the ministerial visitors.Mr.Baines Wore the ministerial uniform, but no wedding favor, neither did Mr.Vernon Smith nor Mr.Labouchere.These, however, wero the only exceptions.The last gentleman wore the uniform of one of the elder brethren of the Trinity House, a dress in which the late duke of Wellington was fond of appearing, though as a costume it is one of the most unsightly that was ever devised, not even excepting the livery of the Postoffice, to which it bears a most humiliating resemblance.It was now near eleven o\u2019clock, and the visitors began to pour in rapidly.The Marchioness of Olanricarde came, then Sir Charles and Lady Mary Wood, Lord and Lady Stanly of Alderley, Lord and Lady Ebury, the Earl and Countess of Hardwicke, Lord and Lady Panmure, Sir George and Lady Gray.The Duke of Athol came in full Highland costume.The Duke of Richmond wore the uniform of the Sussex Militia, of which he is the colonel; the Duke of Buecleuch, the uniform of Militia Aid y-de-Camp to the Queen ; the Duke of Manchester, tile uniform of Major of the Hunts Militia.The Dukes of Newcastle and Argyll both wore the Ministerial uniform, as did also the Earl of Derby.The Duchess of Richmond, the Countess of Jersey, the Countess of Derby, and Countess Moantedgcumbe, all sat together, the first three ladies being particularly conspicuous for the richness of their dresses and the brilliancy of their jewels.Sir George and Lady Cornwall Lewis,the Marquis of Laudsdowne,the Marchioness of Abercorn, Marchioness of Breadalbane, aud Duchess of Wellington, were among the late comers, as was also the Countess of Granville.It was now twelve o\u2019clock, and every place was filled save those reserved for the royal actors in the ceremonial and their suites.The busy bum of subdued laughter and constant conversation arose from every part of the little building, feathers waved and diamonds glittered, and the whole scene was one of indescribable animation and brilliancy.The dresses of the peeresses who occupied all the front seats of the galleries, though crushed aud crumpled so that even the most penetrating of court milliners could not have recoguised them, were iu themselves a pageant, and one which for variety and effect in colour is seldom seen.It is now past twelve o\u2019clock, and the excitement of expectation increases every moment.Ladies who are.driven near the door intrigue successfully to change their places with lords who arc nearer the altar.A noble countess drops her cloak and .shawl over the gallery rail on to the iloor with a heavy \u201c flop,\u201d and a general titter ensues.It is increased as another peeress, looking over, moults the feathers from her head-dress, and they come sailing slowly down, and every one looks up much as people do at the the theatre when a playbill goes eddying over in the pit.Suddenly there is a little stir, and the Princess of Prussia enters the chapel, magnificently attired in a robe of white satin, and with her train borne by the youthful Hacke.With her Royal Highness come their Highnesses Prince Adalbert and Prince Frederick Charles, and a most brilliant suite of Prussian officers.The whole brilliant audience of the Chapel rises en masse and bows as the Princess Royal\u2019s mother-in-iaw elect passes on to the altar.Hardly are they seated there, on the lett-hand side, when faintly in the distance the long-blown, clear, defiant notes of the trumpeters, are heard.They come nearer and nearer, and the last arrivals among the visitors hasten to arrange themselves while the officers of the household fall into brilliant line along the pathway up the chapel at either side.Step by step the advance of the trumpeters is followed ; now they are descending the staircase, the regular roll and beat of the kettledrums become audible, and the prolonged triumphant flourish proclaims the approach of Majesty.The trumpeters, pursuvi-ants, clerks, and equerries file outside the chapel : but the Lord Steward.Norroy, Claren-cieux, Garter, the Lord Privy Seal, the President of the Council, the Lord Chaucellor, the Earl Marshal of England, and others of high note and rank, ail enter.But theyT3nter almost unobserved, for from behind them comes the Princess.Mary of Cambridge, her train borne by Lady Arabella Sackville West.A murmur of admiration, which neither time nor place could altogether subdue, greets her as she enters the chapel, bowing with stately elegance in return for the homage rendered her.After her Royal Highness comes the Duke of Cambridge,1 attended by Colonel Tyrwhitt; and to the Duke also a tribute of cordial respect is paid.The Duchess of Cambridge is received in the same manner, but a deeper reverence awaits the Duchess of Kent, who smilingly, and as to friends, returns the greeting; The next great notability is the veteran Premier, who bears before the Queen the sword of State, in ponderous solemnity.After this event, the royal princes are unnoticed, and every one bows low slowly aud deeply as her Majesty, leading in either hand Prince Arthur and Prince Leopold, enters.Ot course, on these occasions there is no applause, and nothing but the prolonged obeisances denote the depth of loyal welcome with which the royal mother of the bride is welcomed.The Queen looks, as she always looks, kindly and amiable, but self-possessed and stately.On her head is a crown ofjewelssuch as relieves all apprehensions as to the effect which the late Hanoverian \u201c raid\u201d upon the royal caskets might have had upon her Majesty\u2019s toilet.Courtesying in acknowledgement of the profound homage with which she is welcomed, her Majesty passes at once to the chair of state on the left of the altar, and which is placed between the five embroidered settees occupied by the youngest royal children.From this time all remain standing in the presence of Majesty, even the Princess of Prussia, who stands on the opposite side of the altar.Lord Palmerston, on the Queen\u2019s right hand bears Sword of State, while the Duchess of Sutherland, herself attired in almost royal magnificence, stands on the left by right of office as Mistress of the Robes.Again there is another pause of intense interest, and again the drums .and trumpets are heard, and, ushered in with the same imposing ceremony, comes the procession of.the bridegroom.On his right walks ibis Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia, his father, and on his left his brother, Prince Albert.All eyes, however, are fixed upon the royal bridegroom, as he walks slowly, but with the most^perf'ect ease and elegence of action scrutiny from hundreds of brilliaat eyes as never bachelor withstood alone before.Again a pause ensues,\u2014a pause of impressive solemnity, for expectation seems wrought to the highest pitch, and no one speaks, and few even move to disturb the stately solemnity that reigns over the whole interior, while even the most illustrious of the royal guests seem struck, and gaze with open admiration on the scene around.It is, indeed, one of those gorgeous visions seldom seen, and never forgotten j for within the precincts of that little chapel sit the throned Sovereign of the British empire with her Court and princely guests, and surrounded by the greatest and most influential members of the greatest and most influential aristocracy in the whole world.The very building, so small, and yet so rich in its contents, almost suggests the idea of a grand jewel-casket, iu which all that the nation most values and reverences is put away for greater safety.After a while, the Chamberlain and Vice-Chamberlain again quit the chapel, te usher in the procession of the bride, and with their absence a heavy silence of s uspense steals upon the assembled guests, and deepens as the moments pass.The very little whispering gradu-ally grows less and less, until it stops entirely; the plumes cease to wave, and even the restless glitter of the diamond seem almost quenched as the noble assemblage sit mute and attentive, with their eyes turned in eager expectation towards the door.At last there is a slight stir without, and a subdued movement passes through the chapel as the glitttring uniform of the officers of arms is seen to pass the door.The trumpets were again heard nearer and nearer, till again they die away in subdued cadence, which has tm inexpressibly soft and beautiful effect.The great officers of State enter the chapel, but no one heeds them, for there is a peculiar movement without, and a soft rustling of silk is clearly audible.In an other second the bride is at the door, and stands \u201cQueen rose of the rosebud garden of girls\u201d that bloom iu fair array behind her.The Court list of the ceremonial tells us that the illustrious personage ou whom her right hand gently rests is the Prince consort, that on her left stands His Majesty the King of the Belgians ; and from the same source we derive our knowledge that both are in full uniform, and wear the collars and insignia of the great European orders of knighthood to which each belongs.Without those aids to recognition, even those royal personages would pass to the altar unnoticed and unknown, so deep, so all-absorbing is the interest excited by the appearance of the bride herself.The gorgeous veil she wears depending from the head-dress is thrown off, and,\u201changing in massivej folds behind, leaves the expression of her face completely visible as she walks slowly, her head slightly stooped in bashfulness, and her eyes cast down upon the ground.Thus all see distinctly the mild, amiable expression of her face, so replete with kindness and deep feeling, aud that peculiarly touching aspect of sensitiveness to attempt to portray which would \u201conly prove how vainly words essay to fix the spark of beauty\u2019s heavenly ray.\u201d Her bright bloom of colour has completely deserted her, and even when compared with her snowy dress her cheeks seemed pale, and her whole appearance denotes tremulonsness and agitation.In these ceremonies we believe the dress of the bride ranks only next in importance to the celebration ot the service ; but on this occasion the Princess Royal wore one so thoroughly in good taste that it is difficult to remark anything save that it is exquisitely becoming, beautiful, and white.In fact, its unity only recalls to mind the belle ot the French Court, who is said to dress with such a perfection of good taste that no one cau ever observe what she wears.While, however, we mention this as the actual efiect of the costume, we may state for the information of our readers, that it was manufactured by Mrs.Darvill, designed by Miss Jane Fife, and composed of a rich robe of white moire antique ornamented with three flounces of Honi-ton lace.The design of the lace consists of bouqets in open work of the rose, shamrock, and thistle in three medallions.At the top of each flounce iu front of the dress are wreaths of orange and myrtle blossoms\u2014the latter being the bridal flower of Germany\u2014every wreath terminating with bouquets of the same flowers, and the length of each being so graduated as to give the appearance of a robe defined by flowers.The apex of this floral pyramid is formed by a large bouquet worn on the girdle.The train, which is of the unusual length of more than three vards.is ofwhilr, moire antique, trimmed With two rows Of Ho niton laoo, - ^ i.wreaths similar to those on the flounces of the dress, with bouquets at short intervals.Next to the interest excited by the appear-aucce of the bride herself is the feeling created by the fair bridesmaids, who follow the bride two by two\u2014Lady Susan Charlotte Catherine Pelham Clinton, daughter of the Duke of Newcastle ; Lady Cecilia Catherine Gordon Lennox, daughter of the Duke of Richmond ; Lady Katherine Hamilton, daughter of the Marquis of Abercorn ; Lady Emma Charlotte Smith Stanly, daughter of the Earl of Derby ; Lady Susan Catherine Mary Murray, daughter of the Earl of Dunamore ; Lady Constance Villiers, daughter of the Earl of Clarendon ; Lady Victoria Noel, daughter of the Earl of Gainsborough ; and Lady Cecilia Maria Charlotte Molyneaux, daughter of the late Earl of Sefton.It is but faint praise to say how well these noble maidens upheld even the high traditionary fame of England\u2019s beauty\u2014how bright they showed even in an assemblage of the fairest and noblest of the land.As they move slowly forward, scanning the brilliant audience with timid glances, now and then the lines which Dryden has applied to the Queen\u2019s attendants, in the \u201c Flower and the Leaf,\u201d irresistibly occur to memory, and the spectators realize the vision of the poet when he sang:\u2014 \u2022\u2019 A Irani less fuir, as ancient fathers tell, Setluehi Ihe sons of Heaven lo rebel.1 pass theia form and every charming grace, Hess than an aagel would their worth debase.But their attire, like liveries of a kind, dimple but rich, is fresh upon my mind ; in satin white as snow the troop was gown\u2019d, The seams with sparkling jewels set around.\u201d As the bride passes up to the altar she stops aud makes a deep reverence to her mother, though with evident agitation, and her face flushes like crimson ; then, again turning, she renders the same homage to the Prince of Prussia.As she does so the bridegroom elect advances ; and kneeling on one knee, presses her hand with an expression of fervent admiration that moved the august audience.Taking their places then at the altar, and with their illustrious relatives standing round in a group of unequalled brilliancy, the service commences with the choral, which peals through the little building with the most solamn eftect.The Rubric is rigidly adhered to throughout.After going through the usual formulary, the Most Rev.Primate, who was very indistinctly heard, asks the royal bridegroom\u2014\u201c Wilt thou have this woman to be thy wedded wife?\u201d To this the Prince replies loud and clear, \u201c I will.\u201d To the same question the faint answer of the bride is barely audible\", though the attention of all is strained to the utmost to catch the feebly-uttered words.To the next\u2014\u201c Who giveth this woman away ?\u201d the Prince Consort replies loudly, \u201cIdo.\u201d\ti Then the Prince takes his bride\u2019s hand'in his own, in earnest warmth, and repeats slowly and distinctly after the Primate\u2014 I, Frederick William Nicholas Charles, take thee, Victoria Adelaide Mary Louisa, to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and iu health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God\u2019s holy ordinances ; and thereto I plight thee my troth.\u201d Again, in reply, the words of the bride are almost lost, and she seems faint and tremulous enough to excite uneasiness among the ladies.The Prince then, taking the ring from his brother Albert, said with marked emphasis\u2014 \u201c With this ring I thee wed, with my body I thee worship, and with all my worldly goods I thee endow in the name of the Father, and of Son, and of the Holy Ghost.Amen.\u201d The usual prayer was then offered up, and the Primate, joining their hands together said, \u201c Those whom God hath joined together let no man put asunder.\u201d A psalm was then sung, followed by the Hallelujah chorus.Hardly had the last words of the chorus died away in solemn echoes, when the ceremonial, as arranged by chamberlain and heralds, ended,and the bride, giving vent to her evidently long pent-up feelings, turned and flung herself upon her mother\u2019s bosom with a suddenness and depth of feeling, that thrilled through every heart.Again and again her Majesty strained her to her heart and kissed her, and tried to ceuceal her emotion, but it was needless and in vain, and there were few who did not share it.We need not mention how the bridegroom embraced her, and how, as she quitted him, with the tears stealing down her cheeks, she threw herselfinto the arms of her father, while her royal husband was embraced by the Princess of Prussia in a manner that evinced all that only a mother\u2019s love can show.The most aflecting recognition, however, took place between the bridegroom and his royal parent, for the latter seemed overpowered with emotion, and former, after clasping him twice to his heart, knelt and kissed his parents hand.The Queen then rose, and harrying across the haut pas with the Prince Consort, embraced the Princess of Prussia as one.sister would another after long part ng, and, turning to the Prince of Prussia, gave him her hand, which, as he stooped to kiss, she stopped him, and declined the condescension by offering her cheek instead.But words would feebly convey the effect of the warmth, the abandonment of affee- Munieipal Election\u2014Nomination for the Mayoralty, {Reported for the Montreal Herald.) place The nomination for this office took yesterday at the Bonsecours Buildings.On the balcony, we observed a number of the City Councillors, as well as the rival candidates and their supporters.A large crowd composed chiefly of French Canadians, occupied the area below.Alderman Day was proposed for the office of Mayor by Thos.Mussen, Esq,, seconded by D E.Papineau, Esq., M.P.P.Mr.Renaud was proposed by the Hon.|L Rameau.The nomination was seconded by Dr, Globensky.The first candidate who addressed ths crowd was Mr.Rodier.He said\u2014The Hon.Mr.Re naud has told you what have been my services in this city formerly, and though it does not become a person to boast of what he has perform ed, I may tell you that I have been a public man for the last thirty years.[Applause.] The reason I mention this is because some of the newspapers of the city have said that I never was a public man ; now, in answer, I tell you that I have sat in this Council for fifteen years of my public life.[Cheers.] It has been also said that I was a close man ; but, in reply to this, I say let the mechanics and carters of the city come forward, or let any other citizen come forward, and state, if they can, that I have ever acted dishonourably with them.[Cheers.] Mr Day is a respectable man, but I am certain have many supporters amongst my Irish Scotch and English friends in the city, and have no doubt they will do their best to have me elected.[Loud Cheers,] In conclusion, I may say, if elected, I will do my utmost in be half of the citizens of Montreal.[Applause.] Alderman Day hero came forward, but, in spite of the efforts of his friends, could not obtain a hearing.He attempted several times to address the crowd below, but was invariably interrupted by groans, hisses and cheers.At length, Mr.P.Brennan, who was beside Mr Day, endeavoured, by shaking his stick over the balcony, to procure attentiou for that gentle man, but in vain.Some one remarked the \u201c b\u2019hoys\u201d were not present.Mr.Brennan then descended from Hie balcony and went among the crowd, brandishing bis stick as he elbowed his way.He had not gone far, however, till his progress was arrested by a Mr, John Hanley, who crossed shillelaghs with Mr, Brennan.A scuffle now became imminent\u2014the crowd appeared to be excited\u2014groups of sytj\u201c .\t-\t,2a .\t,\t,,\tV.i.t'.,1-1.; v\tt \u2022, .v\u201d- mats, and a \u201c row would have been the inevitable result had not the Police interfered, to separate the two combatants, and bring Mr, Brennan to the station house at hand.It being evident that Alderman Day could find no opportunity to utter any remark, Alderman Homier, who was present as a spectator, came forward, and inveighed against Mr.Papineau for having supported the claims of Alderman Day.Henry Starnes, Esq., M.P.P., (the retiring Mayor,) next addressed the crowd below.He said\u2014You cannot expect me to express an opinion about either of the candidates, but this much 1 will say, let this contest be carried on in a friendly manner, not in a dishonourable way, but as if between brothers.This is of the highest importance, as the Mayor you will elect will be called upon to perform extraordinary duties next year.You are aware that, owing to various causes, such as the war in India aud the commercial crisis all over the world, the finances of the city, to a certain extent, are deranged, and its available resources have suffered great diminution by the construction of public works\u2014it will be the duty of the Mayor, then, to watch over the finances in behalf of the citizens of Montreal.I iiave known Mr.Rodier for thirty years, and I am sure he is well qualified for Mayor, and, if the majority wish it, let him he elected.If you want Mr.Day, [cries of \u201c No, no,\u201d] he has been a member of the Council, and has high qualifications ; but both are highly respectable, and men worthy of your choice\u2014still, choose the man who will render you the most service.[Applause.] Mr.Isidore Mallon leant over the balcony and said\u2014I propose that Mr.Day be elected by acclamation\u2014[derisive cheering]\u2014ah, well, perhaps you\u2019ll «elect Mr.Rodier by acclamation.\u2014 [Laughter and cheers.] No other person coming forward, the crowd began to disperse, the greater number iu the direction of the wharf, and a considerable portion in sleighs, many of which were present and said to be hired for the occasion.The subjoined shows who were proposed for the following Wards :\u2014 FOR COUNCILLORS.CENT as WARD.Alderman Whitney presided.The nomination for this Ward took place on

culminating, and we are just in the thickest of the fight, with some exciting episodes not laid down in the programme .The President\u2019s Message came in on Tuesday last, and you have had an opportunity of fully digesting it before this.It is persuasive in its tone, but strikingly weak in its argument, begging the whole question at issue by assuming that \u201cthe people\u201d of Kansas ask to be admitted into the Union, and that it is best, therefore, to grant the request in order to settle forever the troublesome questions at issue, and bring about a peace.The document is a plea for peace.Mr.Buchanan cries, \u201c pity the sorrows of a poor old man,\u201d\u2014says his public life will soon terminate, and that he has no other object of earthly ambition than to leave his country in a peaceful and prosperous condition and this he insists upon can only be brought about by dragging Kansas into the Union against her solemn protest\u2014an act which must inevitably result in civil war if the men of Kansas have a spark of self-respect, or it the universal testimony of gentlemen of all parties, who have lived in the territory thirty days, is to be credited.Let us see if this is not Accept the Leeompton constitution, and admit Kansas into the Union as a State under it.A State government will be immediately set up.A large majority of votes are known to have been cast for the Free State officers at the late election ; but Gen.Calhoun, the Border Ruffian President of the Constitutional Conven.tion, is authorized by the constitution to decide upon the returns, and give certificates of election.He has already declared his determination to give the certificates to the Pro-slavery State party, and to create a Pro-slavery majority in the Legislature.This he does under cover of the most transparent trickery and fraud.Five-sixths of the people will assuredly resist this attempt of the minority to rule them by such means, and they will drive out of the State the men who seek thus to impose upon them, and the President will be called upon for troops to suppress the \u201c insurrection.\u201d Possibly the people may submit to this a little longer.The Legislature may meet, and attempt to elect Calhoun and the perjured Judge Cato to be United States Senators for six years\u2014a step which there are not troops enough in the entire Federal army to carry through successfully.A collision between the people and the truops will be the certain consequence,\u2014allies will rush from the North-West and New England to the support of the Free State,\u2014Southern men, who dare not leave their homes to go to Kansas lest their \u201cproperty\u201d should rise iu servile insurrection, will retaliate on citizens of Free States who happen to be among them,\u2014and thus the flames of civil discord must necessarily be lighted all over the land.As you already know, I am not of those who believe it would last long, or be without compensating results in the infliction of a blow under which the institution of Slavery would stagger and reel towards an early grave.But this is the way iu which Mr.Buchauau expects to get a peace.Enough ot that, however,\u2014and now let us see how grossly the President has violated the pledges by which he succeeded in inducing the Free men of Kansas to take any part whatever in the constitutional election.When he came into power, his first act was to secure the confidence of the Free State men, to disarm their active hostility to the Constitutional Convention, and induce them to await its action.Iu this he succeeded by the solemn promise that the Constitution which the Convention might frame should he submitted to their vote.°By this pledge of his honor, alone, was he able to repress a civil war, or revolution.He has forfeited the pledge, and now pleads in excuse a mental reservation,\u2014 saying that when he pledged a submission of \u201c the constitution\u201d he only meant the single clause of it relating to Slavery ! The service ot the Slave power, like drunkenness and gambling, seems competent to reduce one to the meanest shifts and equivocations.If Mr.Buchanan supposes that he can trick the people by such means as this into meek submission, he is certainly mistaken.The President in his message recommending the admission of Kansas, made it a party measure.He relies for success upon the fact that all parties are anxious to have the Kansas ques tion settled.He leaned upon this popular sentiment to sustain him in forcing upon Congress the adoption of the Leeompton Constitution- He thinks that when the deed is done, when Kansas has onpe become a State, no matter uuder what circumstances or with wflat theUqi^l0i*-.\u2018''.'LS.'.'p'.t.pgnlest wilJ^jir^ the people will gladly turn their attention to other troubles.He forgets that although the country is anxious to have the question dispos ed of, the vast majority of the people will insist that it shall be righteously disposed of,\u2014 and to settle it by yielding now to oppression, would prove to be no settlement at all.It is passing strange that Mr.Buchanan and his followers in this crusade for slavery cannot see that the course he is pursuing is absolutely certain to throw Kansas into the hands of the ultra Free-State leaders, and to make it one of the most aggressive States in the Union.Gov.Walker forewarned him of this result long ago, with the sagacitv of long and varied political experience.He assured the President, in his official letters, that the only way to make Kansas a Democratic State was for the Democratic Party to take the lead of the unquestionable and irresistible Free-Soil sentiment of the State.They could not change It, but they might guide and control it.If this Council had been regarded Kansas might have become a Democratic State.As the case stands it will assuredly be Republican and Anti-Slavery.\u2014 Thus slavery gains nothing ; while, at the same time the Democratic party of the United States, which has been the bulwark of the institution for many years, is weakened by the reaction,\u2014 Nay more,\u2014the example proposed to be set now in forcing Kansas into the Union against her will, may be used in the future as a solid precedent for forcing other States into tho Union with free Constitutions, at the will of the opponents of the Democratic party whenever they have the ascendency.But Mr.Buchanan\u2019s ear is closed to all argument.He is completely under Southern influence, and will probably rush in on the path which he has chosen, under the guidance of men who seek a dissolution of the American Union.Mr.Toombs, of Va., one of the most distinguished of Southern Senators, remarked, a few days since, to a Senator from a Free State in conversation, that the South had no interest in Kansas, and eared nothing for it, but they were convinced that the true interests of both North and South required a separation, and they were determined to bring it about.This is, undoubtedly, the secret of much of the zeal of Southern men in behalf ot the Leeompton Constitution.\u2014 It is even asserted that a systematic plan of operations has been agreed upon, to be carried into operation upon the rejection of Kansas, if that should occur.It is claimed that Maryland, which is on the border, will go with the South, \u2014if not at first, as soon as a separation shall be effected ; and hopes are entertained that, through Mr.Buchanan\u2019s influence, Pennsylvania will also be brought to join the South.The President is perfectly aware of these movements, but professes that by aiding the Lecorup-ton movement he can acquire an influence with the disunion leaders which will enable him to defeat their schemes.He is mistaken in this.Their object is purely selfish.With two Presidencies where there is only one now, there will be more places of power to be filled : and the men who raised the accursed plot think, that if they can but succeed, their own prominence in the struggle will assure to them the first fruits of victory.They will not\u2014can not be con-troled by the President ;\u2014and after they have used him to the end of his ability to secure their purposes, they will throw him aside like any other worn-out tool.In putting himself in the hands of the ultra propagandists of slavery, aud deserting the truly conservative portion of the people, Mr.Buchanan has squandered his influence and become a very beggar among statesmen.But I am making the story too long for the limits of a letter.When the message came into the Senate, it was boldly attacked at once and denounced in the strongest terms as false in its history, and most fallacious in its arguments.No question has yet been taken upon referring it to the committee on territories, which will eventually have charge of it.The indications are now very decided that the friends of the Leeompton swindle will have a majority in that body.The Indiana Senators still keep their seats,\u2014and it is clear that they are to be sustained in them until after the Kansas question is disposed of\u2014at least in its first stage\u2014for all efforts to obtain a direct vote upon the question of their right to sit in the Senate are foiled by the administration men.Jones, of Iowa,disregards all positive instructions from his Legislature to vote agaiust Leeompton or resign.He says he will do neither,\u2014but will vote for that iniquity.He is a man of small calibre, who has no merits upon which to rely for future position, and has sold out to the Lecompton-ites for some office to be conferred upon him when his public career\u2014which closes with this Congress\u2014shall have ended.Several other men who have been very much opposed to the Leeompton swindle have not the courage to vote against it,\u2014and the probabilities are that on a direct vote the scheme will have a majority of three to five votes.It is not improbable, however, that a motion can be carried by a small majority, referring the Constitution with instructions to the Committee on Territories, to inquire and report upon the facts necessary to show whether the constitution is or is not a fair expression of the popular will.In the House of Representatives as soon as the message was read, Mr.Hughes of Indiana, an administration democrat,moved its reference to a select committee of thirteen.Mr.Harris of Illinois, (a Douglas democrat, tm** and opp&tad ta tho Locompton «theme,) moved to amend this motion so as to instruct the select committee tp inquire into the origin and formation of the Lecomption Constitution ; also, whether there be sufficient population in Kansas to entitle her to a state representation on the floor ; also, to obtain the number of votes cast for each delegate to the Leeompton Convention ; and the number of votes cast on the 21st December and 4th January ; and to ascertain whether any portion, and if so, what portion, of the people of Kansas are in open rebellion against the laws of the country.The amendment also gives the committee power to send for persons and papers* This (motion is a very subtle, as well as exceedingly proper one,\u2014because it enables democrats who are opposed to the Leeompton swindle, but who don\u2019t like to vote directly agaiust the administration,\u2014to kill the Lecom-pton Constitution as effectually by almost sustaining the reference with instructions.Get the Kansas Constitution before such a Committee, aud the facts to be brought out will offer the South \u201c Americans\u201d,\u2014who are opposed to the Administration\u2014the best possible grounds for voting finally against the Constitution.This would ensure its defeat, even if the Administration could succeed in bringing over to its support the few Douglas Democrats upon whose ultimate support they count.For nearly a week now, the friends of the Leeompton Constitution have been staving off the question on Mr.Harris' proposition\u2014satisfied as they were that they would be beaten upon it.On Friday last, the republicans called up Mr.Harris\u2019 proposition, determined to have a vote upon it\u2014 and Mr.Harris moved the previous question.This, course, cut off all debate, and would have compelled an immediate vote, except for the interposition of factious expedients to kill time.To these the Lecomptonites did not hesitate to resort, and, as a consequence, little was done besides calling the yeas and nays upon motions to adjourn, &c., &c., from 3 o\u2019clock in the afternoon until half-past six o\u2019clock yesterday morning.It was a mere trial of physical endurance, and persistency of will\u2014the republicans sitting quietly aud voting against every motion to adjourn, determined to sit in the House until their opponents were tired out and willing to submit the question at issue to a fair vote of the body.A night sess\u2019on is always apt to engender excitement, but ,,,'' j was less of this than usual in tho-proecct.»ftfx-Tfil parties seemed to be very good natureu until about two o\u2019clock in the morning, when a difficulty originated between the bully Keitt, of S.C.\u2014who figured so disgracefully in the Sumner assault\u2014and Mr.Grow, of Pennsylvania, who is the present re-publioan leader in the House of Representatives.I should premise by saying that the republicans generally sit upon one side of the House, and the democrats on the other\u2014although there are individual exceptions to the rule.Mr.Grow, having occasion tq talk with a Douglas democrat\u2014Mr.Hickman, of Penn.\u2014crossed over to the democratic side, and was about returning to his own seat, when Mr.Quitman, of Mississippi, asked the unanimous consent of the House to make a proposition of compromise.Mr.Grow objected, insisting upon the vote.Mr.Keitt, who rarely misses an opportunity to indulge iu offensive bluster towards republican members, called out\u2014\u201c why don\u2019t you go over on your own side of the House, if you want to object, G\u2014d d\u2014n you !\u201d Mr.Grow, who is a slender wiry framed young man, but quick, cool and resolute, replied\u2014\u201c this is a free hall, a man has q right to object from any part of it, which he sees fit,\u201d Then, at the earnest solicitation of Mr.Harris, of 111., Mr, G.withdrew his objection to hearing Mr.Quitman\u2019s proposition.In the meantime, Keitt had left his seat, and come up to Mr.Grow, who was standing in one of the aisles, and inquired in a ruffianly tone, what he meant by the answer he had just given him.Mr.Grow responded that he meant precisely what he ssid\u2014that it was a free hall, and he would object from any part of it in which he saw fit.\u2014, -\u2014\t-\u2014 ^ __________ \u201e

himself embarrassed and defeated at every turn.^ext in importance to the question of the admission of Kansas, is the proposed increase of the army.This continues to be opposed by the great body ot Anti-Administration men,\u2014and some few gentlemen from the South as well.My own impression is that additional force will be given to the President eventually,\u2014but with a provision that it shall not be used in Kansas.Mr.^Seward, the ablest statesman of America, favors this policy.Our news from Utah indicates more than ever that the Mormons are determined to fight.The New York Herald the other day started the silly story that the President was about to withdraw the troops from Utah on the proposition of Mr.Bernhisel, the Mormon Delegate in Congress\u2014that the Mormons should emigrate to some Island in the Pacific in the spring.Of course there was no foundation for the rumour outside the imaginative brains of ite author.Mr.Bernbisel gives a flat contradiction to the rumour that he has made any proposition to any body that the Mormons should be allowed peaceably to remove to some island in the Pacific.Even if the rumour were true, there is not an island in the Pacific Ocean capable of occupancy, which is not occupied by some sovereignty, which must be taken into consideration in this matter before any action is taken by this Government, and it is hardly probable that nations will care to have removed into their midst an evil which has given us a great of trouble, unless possibly, the Government of Mexico should be willing to admit them into Sonora with a view of repelling the Camanohes and California filibusters.If they emigrate in any direction, it will probably be thither ; but the campaign against them will be continued nevertheless.En passant,\u2014to show how good a thing may come out of Nazareth, the following remarks upon the army bill, by Mr.Toombs, the Southern disunionist, are worth reading :_ I will not give a man of the Army of the United States to maintain the civil peace of this country.I will tell you the history of forty centuries has demonstrated that order obtained bv regular soldiers is despotism ; and that peace obtained by regular soldiers is the cemetery of liberty ; and I will never give a man for that purpose.I will maintain peace on no such terms ; I will have order at no such cost.If the freeman of this country cannot maintain their own laws of themselvo,-, -.hey aro unfit to govern themselves, and I shall not moan at any amount ot destruction which they may mutually commit.I shall not endanger the public liberty ot twenty-five millions of freemen to compose the difficulties of two, three, five, or ten thousand men, on any side of a local controversy, in any part of the United States.I know that it is just as impossible for the Ktluop to change his skin, or the leopard his spots, as fora regular army to be the friend of liberty.Always, in all ages, in all times, and in all countries, it has been the instrument of despotism.There is not a depotism in the world that could stand ninety days without this mtamous instrument of oppression.How is the glorious Empire of France upheld to-day?How are the Italian people to-.day held subject to a foreign power ?It is unnecessary to designate nations; but point to a country on the face of the earth where despotism tramples liberty underfoot, and I will show you a country where it is upheld, not by the people, but by military power\u2014by a regular army.They are the natural allies of despotism everywhere.\u2014 They always have been, and they always will >V e are departing from the great, sound, fundamental principles of our ancestors IS, iêôsf n-irr-1 The \u201cchivalry\u201d of the athletic South Carolinian, of course, took fire at this assertion ot a white man\u2019s independence, and he replied, calling Mr.Grow \u201c a d\u2014d black republican puppy.\u201d Still the gentleman assailed kept perfectly cool, replying indignantly\u2014\u201c you may call me what you please, Mr.Keitt, bull shall allow no nigger driver to crack his plantation lash around my ears\u201d\u2014or words to that effect.\u201c I\u2019ll show you,\u201d said South Carolina, as he grasped Mr Grow by the throat.The latter threw his hand off, and at the same instant Mr.Ruben Douis, of Mississippi, interfered to restrain Keitt, who a minute iater broke aiyay and again seized Mr.Grow by the throat.Mr.Q, flnfling his qssqHant determined upon a \u201c free fight,\u201d drew off, and struck him a blow under the left ear, which felled him completely to the floor, upon which he dropped like lead.Keitt swears the stubbed bis toe, and fell from that cause, but Mr.Grow\u2019s fist bears evidence of having been iu contact with some \u201c hard case\u201d or other, and Keitt certainly was the only object within striking distance.A profane wretch at my elbow suggests that, when Keitt finds his way into the infernal regions, he will probably tell his Satanic majesty that he don\u2019t belong there, but came by accidents\u2014that be was going to the other#iRffrai'Jt)^Hhbed hu ta.and fell in.a remarkable coincide.ixe oeVween the result of the \u201c accident\u201d and his own deserts, and his plea will avail in neither instance.The dis-comfitted bully picked himself tip and left the hall quite satisfied with his experience.Meantime the House was thrown into .the greatest possible confusion.All this transpired in an incredibly brief space of time, and upon the Democratic side of the hall.Instantly upon the exchange of blows, the Southern men, who were nearest, sprang forward to interpose, and as Keitt was already done for, they naturally seized upon Grow, Others of the bullying sort sprang towards the spot, evidently with the expectation of settling the pending question by a pugilistic encounter.Ail the circumstances conspired to create the impression which seized upon Mr.Grow\u2019s friends, that their opponents were attacking him ; and the Republicans, jumping from their seats, rushed en masse over to the \u201c scene of action.\u201d Quicker than all others came Mr.Potter, of Wisconsin, a well-built muscular fellow and bold as a lion, who leaped like a tiger into the very centre, and began to strike tremendous blows right and left, wherever he saw an opponent\u2019s phiz.The first man he saw was Barksdale, of Mississippi, a \u201c fire-eater,\u201d and somewhat mercurial in temperament, but full of \u201c grit.\u201d Barksdale had Grow by the collar, so, without more ado, Potter planted a blow between his eyes, which staggered him for an instant, and the next left him furious as a mad bull, and quite as fearless.Who struck him he didn\u2019t know, but, turning to see, his eye fell upon Elihu Washburn, of Illinois.Supposing him to be his assailant, he \u201c pitched in\u201d sans ceremonie\u2014and they twain had a brief round, without serious damage to either.Just then Cadwallader Washburn, of Wisconsin, came up, and supposing Barksdale had causelessly assailed his brother, flew to his rescue.Barksdale is a much heavier man than either of the Washburns, aud Cadwallader is rather under than over medium size.Nothing daunted, he grasped the Mississippian\u2019s hair with his left hand, intended to draw his head \u201c into Chancery,\u201d as the boxers say, and have a \u201c good time.\u201d But.sad to relate, Barksdale's scalp is only a wig, which came off iu Calwal-lader\u2019s hand, and bis right fist simultaneously propelled for a stunning blow came flying round in a half-circle, with power enoagh to almost dislocate his shoulder.And so the fisticuff infection spread, until there were not less than twenty men engaged iu ineffectual pounding and passing at each other\u2014all or nearly all having got into the fight in consequence of mutual misuroderstanding of the pacific purpose which nearly all of them had in view.For a wonder no weapons were drawn, \u2014or blood would have been shed.One man seized an immense stone-ware spittoon with which he would have brained some one if he could have got into the ring where the contest was progressing, but fortunately he was retained until his passion cooled.During all this aceï : the Speaker was yelling \u201corder,\u201d and hammering his desk, while the Sergeant-at-Arms interfered to arrest unrqly members.But the ludicrous incidents of this shameful affair came uppermost in the minds of everybody in an instant, and tended to the restoration of good feeling ; and when the excited men separated and surveyed each other\u2019s tumbled apparel and dishevelled hair, a sense of shame,\u2014struggling with the mirth which this \u201c comedy of errors\u201d was calculatbd to provoke \u2014spread itself over every countenance.A minute later, Barksdale\u2019s wig,\u2014which in his excitement he had put on wrong side foremost, \u2014became the center of observation and broad grins and roars of laughter became \u201c the order of the day.\u201d Thus, happily, good humour was restored almost immediately and the House proceeded with its business.Of course we have rumours of half a dozen duels to grow out of this affair, but I have no idea that tliere will be anything of the sort.After the Kilkenny episode was over, the call of yeas and nays was continued until halfpast six in the morning, when a resolution was passed that the vote should be taken on Monday (to-morrow) atone o\u2019clock, without further attempts at delay.This proposition coming from Mr.Quitman, was universally acquiesced in, and then an adjournment was carried.During the fifteen hours the friends of the Lecomp-ton constitution were in a minority of from a dozen to twenty votes ; and, unless the federal patronage shall prove much stronger than is anticipated, by to-morrow night that instrument will have been referred with the instructions proposed,\u2014and that reference, in all probability, will be the end of it, so far as any attempts to smuggle it through are concerned.I confess, when I remember how easily the administration of Pierce carried the Nebraska bill against a large majority honestly opposed to it on the primary votes, I do not feel altogether certain that the scheme of national villainy now pending will fail.The administration is everywhere indicating the determination to visit retribution upon the friends in public office of gentlemen who vote against them on this question ; but men are beginning ro see that if they can succeed in defeating the Leeompton swindle, the President will be comparatively powerless to \u201c punish his enemies,\u201d for the reason that in such an event there will be little difficulty in securing a majority of the Senate against the confirmation of any and every nomination which is intended to displace a competent public officer merely because his ' be.and when we look to a standing army public order.\u201d to maintain General Walker the fillibuster, in a remarkable speech at Mobile the other day vindicated the statement I made you sometime since to the effect that he had the countenance of the President ot the United States in the origin of his recent fillibuster expedition against gentral America.There is no doubt of the truth of the story, as he will prove, probably when his trial comes off at New Orleans, unless the Court should rule out the evidence as inadmissable.It seems, too, that a member of the Cabinet proposed to General Walker that he should go into Mexico aud attempt to bring about a state of things there which plight lead to war ,between Spain and Mexico, with a view to the acquisition of Cuba by the Iqtter, pud its subsequent transfer to the United States.That Walker tells the truth, I have nota shadow of doubt.Fillibus ter though he is, and mistaken, deluded though he may be in regard to his self-appointed mission for the regeneration of Central America, he is an honorable man, who would scorn to lie, if I can judge of him by years of acquaintance.The investigation Committees of Congress are still in session.Mr.Stone, of the firm of Stone, Lawrence & Co., has testified, before the Committee appointed to look into their al-leged expenditure of SiBltOOP to procure the B.Matteson proposed, in confi/nu:.that G.$25,000 to be placed in the hands of a certain New York editor, to give him twenty-five votes for the measure.J.D.Williamson, of New York, who was summoned as a witness, refused to obey the order.The House passed a resolution directing him to be taken into custody.He was accordingly kidnapped in New York by four officers, dragged to the cars, and brought here.When called up before the bar of the House, he declared positively that he would answer no questions in relation to his private business ; but after an hour's debate, iu which the proposition to send him to the common jail was fiercely discussed, he melted beneath the infliction, took back his first answer, and promised to respond to all proper questions.He was then released, and taken before the Committee, where he said he knew nothing about Lawrence, Stone & Co\u2019s, operations,\u2014but that if they would go back to 1842 and 1841, he would testify to the expenditure here, of $700,000 of British money, and 80,000 French francs, subscribed to effect the passage of the Tariff modifications made by the Democratic Congresses of those years.Strange to say,\u2014 the Committee didn\u2019t want any such information.The witness, Stone, also testified that a considerable amount was paid to one of the Editors of the New York Journal of Commerce,\u2014out of the Tariff fund,\u2014for services rendered by him.I think British diplomacy in Nicaragua has effectually killed the Irisarri treaty,\u2014which was rather a shabby trick on the part of our Government,\u2014it must be confessed.The treaty contemplated the probability that it would become necessary for the United States to protect the Transit by military force, and therefore provided for it.But it appears that the Nicaraguan Government were really more jealous of such interference by the United States than of the presence of our fillibusters.\u2014 The contract which was made by Mr.Irisarri with Jos.L.Waite and others, giving them the exclusive control of the Transit, has also failed.The company with which the contract was made, have themselves failed to fulfil the engagements which they had entered into on their part.The time has expired, or will expire today, within which they were to advance a large sum of money to Nicaragua.A negotiation is now pending between Nicaragua and the other states of Central America for a defensive alliance, the tenor of which requires that the Transit shall be under the joint protection of these states, and shall be granted to no one without their consent.This treaty would render it impossible for any company even to obtain a right of way upon any reasonable terms.Among the gayeties of Washington dmring the last week was a magnificent ball, given by the liberal proprietors pf.the National Hotel, to the lady guests and their friends.The company was large, fashionable and gay.Lord Napier and other diplomats participated,\u2014with brave men and fair women from every section of the Union.At 11 o\u2019clock the company were ushered in to the supper-room, where the tables were loaded with every delicacy, and wine ran like a river.Those who supposed this best of Washington Hotels was used up by the epidemic of last year were mistaken.It is full tto .overflowing, and never more prosperous hau now.LEO.Robbery.\u2014At the Mechanics'Festival on Tuesday evening last, Detective O\u2019Leary arrested a young man named Thomas Simpson on a charge of stealing four gold rings, valued at $16, from Mr.Louis Meloche, clockmaker.It appears that O\u2019Leary arrested him with one of the stolen rings on one of his fingers.Yesterday morning he, with an accomplice, who has been since arrested, were brought before C.J.Coursol, Esq., Police Magistrate, and having pleaded guilty, were each sentenced to two months\u2019 confinement in the common gaol.Fire.\u2014Yesterday morning at six o\u2019clock a Are broke out in the outbuildings attached to the house occupied by Mr.Canfield Dorwin, American Consul, St.Frangois Xavier Street, which were completely destroyed.There was a good supply of water, and it was prevented from spreading to the neighboring buildings.The loss is fully covered by insurance.Westminster Review.\u2014American

GAS!! To the Editor of the Montreal Herald.Sta,\u2014I have noticed in your issue of this morning, a Communication, signed oln Aggrieved Consumer, complaining that he is charged, by the Gas Company, for a great deal more Gas than was actually used by him during the Quarter.He also furnishes a statement of the time and number of lights or jets used, for which he says he is charged with 4.300 c.feet as the amount consumed during the Quarter.I should have been glad if your correspondent would have taken the pains to apply at the Office of the Company for redress, as it would have saved him the trouble of writing, and I feel certain he would have been satisfied with the explanations which he would there have received, and at the same time he would have discovered that he is in error and not the Company, as I shall now proceed to prove by bis own statement.He admits that he uses, in the Parlour, Kitchen and Lobby, one light each,\u2014 total 3 lights.Now, as each light or jet will consume at least 3 feet per hour, making 9 feet each hour, aud the time from half-past 5 to halfpast 10 or II, P.M., is at least 5 hours, which, multiply by the 9 feet, as above, will give 45 feet of Gas consumed each evening ; which, multiply again by the number of days in the last quarter, \u2014 say 92, \u2014 will shew a total consumption of Gas for the quarter of 4140 feet, add to this the bed-room light of one half-hour per diem, or 138 feet, this gives a total consumption of 4278 feet, which the above-named number of lights would consume, aud the charge per metre is 4300 feet.I trust therefore that the foregoing will satisfy your correspondent and the public that no overcharges are made nor any overmeasurement taken place.I have taken your correspondents own admission as regards time, at the lowest calculation, and have, I believe, shown him clearly that the charge made by the Company is correct, and that their meters, instead of giving false measurements, are perfectly reliable aud work correctly.The meters, previous to being sent out, ars all tested by one of Glover\u2019s best Testing Apparatus, \u201c which any one may examine at the Company\u2019s Works, and where, if he wish, any consumer may see the meter in use by him proved to his satisfaction.A to the wretched quality of the gas said to have been supplied to the public during the past three mouths, your correspondent will find that he is in error in that point also, as well as in regard to the quantity consumed, if he will \u2022secure the services of a competent person to test tho purity of the gas.Another ground of complaint by your correspondent is what he terms the exorbitant price charged, being, as he asserts, about three times the price iu the mother country.Now, if he will undertake to deliver coals here at the same price as the arey to be had for there, and procure labor at the same rate, I can assure him that the Company will be prepared to supply gas at the same price as is charged iu the mother country, perhaps he is not aware that coals bought at 6s 3d per ton iu Newcastle will stand 40s to 45s when in the Company\u2019s yard, that of itself being reason enough to to account for the great difference existing in the price of gas.It is with reluctance that I have taken up my pen in defence of the Company ; but, I thought it a duty in the present instance which I owed to to the public to answer an aggrieved mtsumerjhis letter being of such a nature as to prejudice the public against a Company, the aim of whose Directors has always been to to satisfy rather than illtreat or take the advantage of the consumer.Y'our obedient servant, L.Beaudry, Manager.NawjCrrY Gas Cop.\u2019s Office, \" Montreal, Feb.12, 1858.Mind Youa Syllables.\u2014Our friend Paddington Green, with whom we happened to be walking the other day, expressed himself In violent terms of indignation at the conduct of the manager of the Adelphi Theatre, who, he informed us, had produced a drama on a most revolting subject.In the first place, we told him we didn\u2019t believe him.In the second, we asked him what he meant.\u201c Why, the Waterloe-bridge murder, the mutilated remains you know,\u201d was they reply.We scouted the idea as preposterous, and insinuated that our habitually mooney friend was dreaming as usual.\u201cOh! am I though?\u201d cried Paddington, highly offended\u2014and as he spoke, he pointed out to us an Adelphi poster on an adjacent dead wall.\u201c Look there, and judge for yourself.\u2019\u2019 We did look, and declared we saw no reason to alter our previous judgment.\u201c Oh ! who\u2019s dreaming now ?\u201d Green was quite in a passion by this time.\u201c Can\u2019t you read, stupid ?The Leg end of the Headless Man ! What else can that mean, I should like to know, but the poor fellow in the carpetbag ?\u201d There was certainly this excuse for our frind\u2019s absurd mistake : the printer had not put his syllables in the word \u201c Legend\u201d sufficiently close Theatre Royal.\u2014The season terminates this evening with a grand complimentary testimonial to J.W.Buckland, Esq., and we hope that the house will be crowded\u2014but of this there is no doubt\u2014as the matter has been taken in hand by the leading men of the city, and they are using every exertion to render the affair both profitable and honorable.The bill of fare is admirable; three excellent pieces, including the entire strength of the company.The National Anthem will be also given, and we have no doubt the evening of Saturday will be long remembered by our citizens as an event in theatricals.List of Passengers per Steamship Indian,Capt.Jones, from Liverpool to Portland, 27th January, 1858 :\u2014 Mr and Mrs Hannay, H Housan, A G Boswell, J J Bogart, Mr and Mrs Hale, Rev J J Monbert, E Cathell, Rev Mr V ickers, Mrs do, Master J R Vickers, Mrs A Stewart, Masters K and C do, Masters F and G do, Miss Agnes McKay, Isabella do, Wm Wilson, Mr Evans, W B Morris, Miss do, Miss Storie, H G Van Santin, Geo Fuller, Mr Daley, WmRMeldrum, Mr O\u2019Hara, F Hardman, Mr Stephenson, Jno Barclay, JnoEll-mer, George Walker, Mr and Mrs M\u2019Donald, Mr and Mrs Simmons, Edward Richards, Jno Saunders, Jas Carey, W E Middleton, Thos Jones, Thos Brown, Miss Anne Hefferman, Mr Chas Inverdal, Hy Capper.S Speakman, S Wright, Jno Wright, MrandMrs Cook, Edward Cook, Miss Mary do, Mr and Mrs Wright, Miss Elizabeth do, Jas do, Chas do, Miss Sophia do, Hy do, Chas Moore, Jas Prior, Wm Newett, Thos Nuther, Wm Scraggs, Hy Louis, D Sullivan, Lewis Farrel.\u2014Total, 70.IMPORTS Per S S INDIAN, Cap.Jones, to Portland.Edmonstone, Allan & Co.C D Severs, 1 pci;
