. Judge BIoLahe on the Fugitive Law.
The decision of Judge MoLanh in the caso of the
Blavo McQuerry, in Cincinnati, recently rendered,
'\ r appears in our columns this morning. In it we
- have an additional guarantee that the laws are to
' be faithfully administered; and an additional evi-
aence of the soundness and constitutionality of the
Fugitive Law 1n particular. This decision also de
rives peculiar importance,’says the New York Com
mercial, from tho tact that it Is the first decision un
der the fagitlve slave law of 1850, that has been ren
dered by a Judge of the 8uprerae Court of the United
Btates. We hope that the question is now Bottled,
and that the time of our courts of justice will no Ion-
’ ger be wasted in hearing discussions of the constitu
tionality of this law. Judge McLanb shows that In
.tho case of Prigg vs. the State of Pennsylvania, the
Supreme Court of the United State deoided unani-
- mouslythat Congress had tho power to legislate for
tho rendition of fugitives from labor, and he shows
that the Supreme Court of every 8tate in the Union,
before which the question has been raised, has recog
nized the same power.
We commend the decision to the perusal of the
reader as able, enlightened and just—as fully appre
ciating the compromises that exist, and the true spirit
■ of the government under which we live.
• Judge op the Eastern District.—In speaking of
the appointment of the Hon. Joseph W. Jackson to
the judgeship of the Eastern District, by Gov. Cobb,
the Madison Visitor, ol a recent date, says: "We

- but from our own knowledge of the man, and his es
tablished reputation for probity and talents, the East-

Tri-Weekly Steamers North,
We shall soon have six steamships running between
Savannah and the North—two between Savannah and
Philadelphia, and four between Savannah and New
York. We yesterday Baw a memorial, signed by a
large number of the merebauis and business men of
onr city, asking of the agents of the two lines so to
arrange the time of tho sidling of their vessels as to
give us a tri-weekly Btearaship connection northward.
This, wo hope, the respective agents will find it to
tho interest of their companies to do. The conve
nience of such an arrangement to the business men
of our city, and to tho travelling pnblio, generally, is
Buch as we doubt not will insure its adoption.
f New Oblrans Relief Fund.—Up to yesterday af
ternoon, the total amount raised in this city for tho
relief of New Orleans was 13,435 98. The funds re
maining in hand will be remitted this day, and in the
meantime we would remind such as have not added
their offering that to-day is the time. To urge this
matter upon any one would be doing violence to hu-
man nature—and beside, Bhoqld we attempt to do so,
It would.be impossible for the pen to put forth such
strong appeals to the charitable as are constantly
coming to them in the moans of the sick and the
wails of the dying. Money may be handed to a mem-
bsr of any of the collecting committees or to the
Mayor. __

In all the forms of prayer there is a European tone.

After the prayers follow the ten commandments, in
language very similar to that of the Bible, each com
mandment being followed by a hymn or poetical par
aphrase, which also indicates the source of their pres
ent religious views, if not of tho documents in which
those views are embodied.
Much has been said in commendation of the insur
gent leaders for having declined to bo CAlled "su
preme,” Ao. The fallowing is the decree and the
reader can lodge whether it is deserving of all that
has been said in its praise:
On tho 25th day of the 10th month, of tho Sink’hce
year. (Nov. 30th, 1851). while at Yung-gung, the ce
lestial king issued a proclamation, emoining on all
the officers and soldies throughout the host, both
? treat and small, to know well the true doctrine aud
ollow it, namely this: our Heavenly Father, the
Great God and Supreme Lord, is one true Spirit (Ood);
besides our Heavenly Father tho Great God, and Su
preme Lord there is no spirit (god.)
The Great Gpd, our Hoavenly Father aud Supreme
Lord is omniscient, omnipotent and omnlpreseut, the
Supreme over all. There is not an individual who is
not produced and nourished. He is Slicing Supreme.
He is the TV, Ruler. Besides the great Gqd our Heav
enly Father and Supreme Lord, there is no one who
can be called Sluing, and no one can be called TV.
Therefore from henceforth, all you soldiers aud offi
cers may designate Us os your Lord, and that is all;
you must not call me Supreme, lest you should en
croach upon the designation of onr Heavenly Father.
Onr heavenly Father is our holy Father, end our
celestial elder Brother is our holy Lord the Saviour of
the world. Henco our heavenly Father and celestial
elder Brother alone are holy: and from henceforth, all
you soldiersand officers may designate us as your lord
and that is all, but you must nut cqll me holy, lest
you encroach upon the designation of our heavenly
Father and celestial elder Brother. The great God
our heavenly Father and Supreme Lord, is our spiritu
al Father, our ghostly Father.
..Formerly We had ordered you to designate the first
and second ministers of state together with the gon-
erals-in-chiefor the van and rear of tho army, royal
fathers, which was a temporary indulgence, in con-
fortuity with the corrut t oustoms of the present
slight encroachment’on the prerogative of our hea
venly Father, for our heavenly Father Is alone enti
tled to tho designation of Father.
We have now appointed the chief minister of state
and general-in-chief to be designated the Eastern
king,having charge of all tho states in the Eastern
region ; we havo also appointed the second minister
of state and assistant general-in-chief to be designat
ed the Western king, having charge of alt the states
In the Western region; we have further appointed
the general of the advance guard to bo designated
the Southern king, having charge of all the states in
the Southern region; and we have likewise appoint
ed tho general of the rear guard to be designated the
Northern king, having charge of all the states in the
Northern region; we nave furthermore appointed our
brother Shlh-tah-k’hae to be assistant king, to aid in
sustaining our celestial court. All tho kings above
referred to, are to be under tho superintendence of
tiie Eastern king. We have also issued a proclama
tion designating our queen as the lady of all ladies,
(empress) and our concubines as royal ladles. Re
spect this.
On the 10th day of the 8th month of the Jintzse
year, (November 15th, 1852,) at Chang-sha, the Ce
lestial King issued a proclamation to all the officers
and soldiers throughout the host, both great and
small, enjoining on them from henceforth not again
to secrete for private uso gold or silver, but pay it
all into the holy treasury of our celestial court;
should any offend in this respect, as soon as it is
found out, they will be beheaded as a warning to all,
Respect this.
The Celestial King appends the following procla
mation :
We hereby command yon, ministers and people, to
make a distinction between males and femules: men
are to manage outside affairs and not to listen to what
goes on within; women are to manage domestic con
cerns, and not to trouble themselves about external
matters. We, therefore, especially command, that
henceforth outside affairs are not to be reported in
side, and internal affairs are not to be reported out
side.
As to tho inmates of the harem, they aro to be gen
erally termed ladles, and ministers must be especial
ly careful not to speak of tho names and surnames,
rank, and station of the inmates of the harem ; these
must on no account bo talked about or discussed :
should any offend in this particular they shall be be-
*■•*■■* J ~fthr
headed without mercy.
No subject is ever to look upon the face of any of
the inmates of the harem: let every one hang down
bis bead, and cost down his eyes, not daring to lift
them up from the ground, for whomsoever glances at
the faces of the inmates of the harem shall bo behead
ed without mercy.
What ia said in the harem must never be reported
outside. Should any subjects or female oflicera dare
to report outside, what is said in the harem, thoy shall
be beheaded without morcy. What ia said by any
subject must not be reported inside; if tho speech of
any subject is reported inside, then the person re
porting it shall be beheaded without raeroy, and the
Bublect who uttered thoBpeech shall also be beheaded
without mercy. We sincerely announce this to you.
To keep the harem distinct is the foundation or
good government, and honest raoTals: it is not that
toe are desirous of making severe restrictions, but we
wish to carry out the holy will of our heavenly Father,
and celestial elder brother, in beheading the lewd and
sparing the correct. Should there be the least de
parture from this rule it would not do at all.
Now that We havo issued this decree, not only
must our subjects in tho present day obey, but
throughout oar celestial dynasty and celestial empire,
for myriads and myriads of years, generation after
generation, whoever becomes a subject of this state
must comply with this role. Theso are our words.—
Respect this.
Given on the 28th day of tho 1st month, of the 3d
year ot our reign, [March 3d. 1853.]

whom McQuerry confessed that this his the muster,
nnd that he lelt him under tho circumstances stated
by thj other witnesses.
Now, so far as theafaiiw of this individual is con
cerned, it would be difficult to present a case which
would more clearly establish the claim of Henry Mil
ler—this is so particular aud circumstantial—so en
tirely uticontradicted—it is impossible to resist the re
sult of the examination ; the clearest and most deci
ded conviction that this person waa in the condition
or a servant in Kentucky. I have never, in any case
that I have investigated—cases where damages are
claimed, which presents similar points—known
claim more clearly made out.
It has been urged that it has not been proven that
Kentucky was a slaveholding State. Judges of the
Supreme Court of the United 8tate« recognize the
laws of all tiie States,as do tho State Courts the laws
of each county. The jurisdiction of the Supreme
Court of the united Btates extends throughout the
Union and Into the Territories. Its Judges aro pre
sumed to know the lawB of each State, and the ex
tent of State Jurisdiction.
I do not say that such would bo the rale were this
examination before a State Judge ora Commissioner
of the United States.
In many of the States a special law has been pass
ed recognizing tho statute laws of other States. In
snob coses nothing more than an examination of the
atutute laws would be necessary. But where a trial
necessary.
like this is hai? in a State where no such provision
exists, the State Judge, and perhaps the Comtnis-
siener, might require legal proof of the existence of
slavery in the State where the claimant resided.
But this ia not necessary before a Judgo of the
court whose jurisdiction is commensurate with the
whole country. Kentucky is known to be a Slave
State.
The declaration of a Senator from Virginia is al
luded to in support of the argument that Slavery does
not exist by law in the alaveholding States. I am
rcall v sorry to hear this argument. The distinguish
ed Senator was speaking of territories into which
our friends of the south desired to tako their slave
property, and declared that slaveholders had the
right to tako slaves where there was no legal recog
nition of the relation. This was an error. The great
S rinoiple is this—Slavery is local, and can only exist
y tho authority ot law. I may remark that I was
the means of bringing out this decision, which was
made in the case from Mississippi.
It has been claimed that the slaveholder bad tbo
right to take Ids sluve Into the tetritories where it
was not legalized, and where long usage had not
sanctioned tiie institution. Usage constitutes law.
after a sufficient lapse of time. Bnt the Supremo
Court has decided the claim to be without founda
tion. Slavery exists only by local law.
In the slavebolding States the laws provide for the
legislation with re;

was upon tho ground of insufficient
" cause,” nover on that of *' nnoonstltutlonality.’’--
No court has ever doubted tiie constitutionality of
legislation providing-far the return of fugitives from
justice.
It is stated of that provision in the Constitution
which says that full faith and credit shall be givon to
the publlo acts and records of other Btates, that no
power la conferred on tho federal government to en
force it?
Is this so ? Tho fundamental law declares that citi
zens of caoh State shall bo entitled to all tho rights
and immunities of tho citizens of tho several States.
Undoubtedly Congress may logisiate upon theso pro
visions.
There are various other provisions of this descrip
tion. No tonnage duties shall be laid on articles im
ported from one 8tato into another. The States can
conclude no treaties, coin no money, can not make
anything but gold and silvern " legal tender,’’ oau
pass no ex post facto laws, or laws imuairiug tho ob
ligations of contracts. w
These nro nil prohibitions of power to tho States.
Does it follow that because there is no express pro
vision in tho organic law for the exercise of powor
on these subjects, none exists? Iu nil these cases a
remedy is provided. In cose of infraction by the
States, a writ of error may be taken from the State
Court to tho Supremo Court of tiie United States,
where laws conflicting with tho constitution will Iks
declared void. It Would be singular, if there was no
sanction to tbo provision upon this most difficult of
all questions—a question so ably nnd extensively dis
cussed at the timo tho constitution was framed, for
slavery thon existed in about one-half tho States.—
Before the adoption of that instrument slavery had
been reclaimed iu various ways, in many instances by
comity, in others by unobstructed force. There exis
ted a virtual, practical compromise before the written
compromise of tho constitution. But difficulties had
arisen, and therefore this provision.

To deny the'legalization of the* relation* in these
States, is to shut our eyes to what is written, and to
tho decisions of the courts.
I am gratified that, in the examination and argu
ment of the cose, there has been uniformly a gentle
manly bearing—no abusive epithets were used, none
were expected. This must draw the approbation of
all sensible persons.
There has been no evidence on the part of tho de
fendant except the admissions by the plaintiff's attor
ney, which were, that McQuerry had lived four years
in the State of Ohio, during which time be had been
recognized, treated, and considered as a free man,
This was proper. This is the theory of our laws aud
constitution. Every man in Ohio, without regard to
color, is presumed to be a free man—her laws do not
sanction tho tread of a slave. This treatment of
McQuerry. therefore, in Ohio, is nothing more than
the presumption of Hie law, which, in my judg
ment, is counteracted by the conclusive proof of tho
claimant, that he escaped into this State from " ser
vice and labor due" in Kentucky.
It is insisted that tho Fugitive Slave laws of ’93
and ’50 are not constitutional—that Congress has uo
power to enact such a law—that the power of enforc
ing the constitutional provision is with the States.
This argument has been, frequently advanced by
gentlemen who have discussed this great question,
and 1 am not sure but that it has been advanced in
some " platforms” that have been framed. 1 will
refer to the judicial authority thut has recognized
the power of Congress to enact laws -providing for
the return of fugitives from labor. In the case of
Prigg vs. the State of Pennsylvania, the Judges of
the Supreme Court decided, without dissent, that
Congress had the power to legislutaon this subject.
Some of tbo Judges thought that the State bad a
right to legislate on the saino subject; blit there was
uo dissout from the decision that Congreiis had the
power to adopt the law of '1)3—the law of '50 was
not theu enacted.
Tho 8upremc Court of every State In the Union,
before which the question has been raised, has recog
nized the same power iu Congress. At an early pe
riod in the history of Massachusetts, and possibly in
other Btates—though it has not attracted my atten
tion—tills doctrine may have been doubted ; but it
has since been affirmed, and no court of respectable
standing now doubts it.
This is strong authority in regard to the power of
Congress to legislate upon tho subject—authority,
certainly, that should overbear individual opinion,
uuless the number of individuals eutertaining an op-
f iosite opinion is great enough to change the organic
aw of tue land ; to such a chhnge the efforts of those
who deny the power of Cougi ess to legislate on the
subject of slavery within the States, might, and not
improperly, be directed.
Tho federal constitution was framed in 1787; it
was discussed by the several States, who accepted it.
Various essays were written by distinguished citi
zens, and the instrument was very extensively dis
cussed.
Ab Boon after the adoption of the constitution as
1788, wo fiud an act of Congress providing for the
rendition of " persous owing service or labor in one
State, escaping Into another.” This-act was passed
by a Congress, some of whose members, if I rightly
remember, were delegates in the convention that
framed tho federal constitution: all wore contempo
raneous with the convention and the discussions that
preceded aud attended its deliberations. Those who
enacted the law of 1793 were not ignorant of any or
tho provisions of the constitution, tor they Imd been
scanned with grest ability, and especially in Virginia.
There is a weight of authority on this point which
cannot be centered on any otaer in the constitution.
Independent of this authority, which must silence ail
objection, we shall arrive at the same conclusion by
looking ut tbo act ob arising under the constitution.
Is tho construction of that instrument, in some of its
vital points, never to be settled?
If no respect is paid to tho weight of concurrent
authorities for half a century, the oasis of our social
fabric will be shaken—there will ensue disorder aud
confosioh, nor will there be protection to rights.
The clause of the constitution alluded to is:
No person held to service or labor in one State un
der the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall in
conBequenco of any law or regulation therein, be dis
charged from such service or labor; but shall be de
livered upon claim of the party to whom such service
or labor may be due.
This constitution has been considered the funda
mental law of tbe land; it is tbe foundation of all
the glory of tho country; all our civil virtues have
flourished under it; it secured the fruits of our rev
olution.
It is contended that this provision in the constitu
tion is to depend on the States for its execution. I
will ask the gentleman* who read the able aud inge
nious argument in support of this proposition, if that
is law which provides no penalty ior its infraction ?—
He is too good a theologian to admit tbe conseqnencos
or hla argument.
There can bo no law without a sanction. This ap
plies to human as it does to divine law.
The legislatures of the several States are prohibit
ed from passing a law obstructing tbe master In pur
suit of his escaped servant who must be given up on
proof by the claimnnt that service or labor is dne.—
Suppose a State to pass a law directly opposed to
this clause, and Inflicting a penalty. That was the
case In Prigg vs. the State of Pennsylvania, and tbe
Supreme Court of the United States declared it nuga
tory; it was in opposition to the constitution and
therefore void.
_jcauso it expressed a thing repugnant to his senti
ments ; ho did not wish the idea that one man could
hold projierty in another recognized in tho organic
law of his country.
This has been termed an tx parte proceeding. It
certainly is not. Had the counsel for McQuerry been
able to state that they expected to prove his free
dom, I should promptly havo granted a continuance,
to afford ample time for the collection of such proof.
Occupying tho sacred office of Judge, I have no
right hero to indulge my sympathies. It would have
been gratifying to nave found that this defendant was
a free man, instead of a slave, because such a result
is gratifying to those wiiose feelings aro opposed to
slavery in tbe abstract. In such case it is the stern
duty of the Judge to nse more tlmn ordinary caution.
It was urged against tbe constitutionality of the
laws of 1793 and 1850 that they denied the right of
trial by jury. It is my opinion, based upon my ju
dicial experience, that a irial by jury would not de
crease the number of renditions of " persons escaped
from service or labor.” In an Instance tbut I call to
mind, a decided anti-slavery man was upon a Jury in
a case involving tho liberty of escaped slaves. But
he considered the solemnity of his oath to support
the law and the constitution, nnd he agreed witn his
brethren to give a verdict of damages against the
persons through whoso instrumentality the slaves had
escaped.
This is not a final decision as to the liberty of the
defendant. The question here is strictly whether ho
owes service or labor to the claimant, but this de
cision will be no bar to the question as to the liberty
of tho man. Ho may be sold—his condition may bo
wretched ; bnt tho fault is not with the judiciary.
It is a principle universally admitted, that a law
may be iu part constitutional, and in another part
void, and that effect may be given to those parts
which aro constitutional. I do not, by this, wish to
intimate that any part of the laws of '93 and ’50 are
iu conflict witii the organic law.
It may not bo improper for me hero to suggest that
there is one part of tho law of ’50 that does not seem
to be rightly understood. The clause allowing $10 to
tiie commissioner in ense the certificate is made ont
to tho master, and $5 if no certificate is given, was,
ns I think, intended merely to compensate that offi
cer for the extra writing, which may be considerable,
and even not covered by the srtm of $5, inconse
quence of the statement of tiie case nnd the certifi
cate. Sitting us a Judge of the Supreme Court, and
not us a commissioner, I may properly make this re
mark. V

After this decision, Mr. Jollffa moved for a writ of
certiorari to the Supreme Court.
The Court said that there could be no appeal from
tho decision of a Judgo of the Supremo Court of tho
United States made at Chambers. The poiut hud, lie
was quite certain, been decided by the Supreme
Court. Ho was willing, however, to give any reason
able timo for counsel to investigate the question.
At the suggestion of tho court, it was finally ar
ranged that tho claimant, Mr. Miller, should enter
into a bond for two thousand dollars, conditioned
upon ids returning McQuerry to this State in case it
should bo decided that the case could bo taken to tbo
Supremo Court.
At the conclusion of his argument, Mr. Ware stated
that Mr. Miller would emancipate his slave for the
sum of $1200, and donate $o0 himself to a fund for
thatpnrpo.se; or lie would tako the appraisement of
disinterested parties ut Lexington.
Mr. Miller remarked that ho was willing to give
bonds in tho sum of lifty.thousaiid dollars that he
would produce the slave in this State, in case a writ
of certiorari was allowed by tho Supremo Court.
Washington McQuerry was then delivered up to bis
claimant by the U. S. Deputy Marshal, and, without

Washington,'Aug. 22.1853.
It is not true that the Secretary of tho Treasury hi
absolutely purchased the old United States Bank
property adjoining the custom houso in Wall-street,
New York. He has, however, leased tho building, at
an annual rent of $52,000, with a privilege of pur

appropriation for the purpose at its next session,
when the purchase will bo completed for tho sura of
$520,000.
Tho Secretary of tho Treasury gives notice to-day

able 31st December, 1852, and also to tho holdors of
tho six per cent, stocks of the loan authorized by the
act of July, 1840, redeemable 12th November, 1855,
that tho Treasury Department ia prepared to purchase
before tho first duy of December next to the extent
of two millions of said stock, at a premium of sixteen
per cent, on tho stocks of ’42, redeemable in '62, and
of eight and a half per cent, on the stocks of ’40, re
deemable in ’50. together with interest on tho.par of

Important Commercial Decision.
At tho last term of the Supreme Court of this
State, a case of novelty aud great commercial inter
est was decided. A negotiable note was purchased
in Mobile by Mr. Westfeldt. tiie makers of which
lived ill Sumter and Mobile counties. Jt appears that
prior to the purchase, certain persons who lived hi
Sumter, and who claimed to be creditors of an insol
vent bank in Mississippi, filed their bill iu tiie Chan
cery Court of Sumter, to which tiie makers of the
note and certain other persons who, it was charged,
held tiie note in trust for the said Mississippi lmuk,
were made parties, and upon which an injunction re
straining the negotiation and payment of the note,
was granted nguinst tho defendant.
The evidence in tho case showed that Mr. Westfeldt
nurebnsedthe note hefnm maturity.and fora valuable
consideration, withr ‘ -
lout any notice, in fact, of the pen
dency of said bill, or that there was any claim out
standing against said note. Hut tho proceedings in
Chancery showed that tiie bill was filed nnd an in
junction granted nnd served in Sumter before the
purchase was made in Mobile.
Tiie caso was tried before tiie Circuit Court at Mo
bile. Tho counsel for Westfeldt contended that, while
it may be admitted, as a general rule, tlmt the pen
dency of a suit withdraws the subject matter, and
prevents its snle or transfer, except subject to the
operation of the decree to be rendered in tho cause,
yet tlmt the safety of commercial transactions re
quires that negotiable paper should be excluded from
its operation. On tho other side it was contended
that the rule ia of universal application. There was
a judgment for the plaintiff below, and at tho late
term tiie Supreme Court affirmed this judgment.
Thus an important principle has l>cen decided in
favor or commercial dealings, nnd it is somewhat re
markable, ns we learn from the learned and lucid
brief of Col. Phillips, which has been printed iu this
city, that no express adjudication has heretofore been
made on the subject, either in this country or Eue-
land.
The case was argued for tho plaintiff by P. Phil
lips,and for the defendant by Messrs. A. F. Hopkins
nnd W.G. Jones.—Mobile Tribune.

Wc had tho pleasure or spending some days recent
ly in tiie country, when we took occasion to look over
a number of farms in tiie upper part of our District,
and amongst others tlmt of Major Samuel C. Scott,
where we saw some of tho finest growing cotton we
ever saw. This cotton is of an entirely new kind,
differing from any we have ever seen, and certainly
superior in appearance to any tiling of tho kind that
has been heretofore cultivated in this country. Tiie
weed ranges about two and a half to three feet in
height, with remarkable long brandies and short
joints, and wo think more than three times the usual
quantity or forms and bolls, and the latter, as far «b
matured, one-third over the common size. We count
ed otic stalk with two hundred and thirty-two farms
and bolls, nnd from its healthy appearance looks as
though it might have ns many more before the end of
tiie season. Maj. Scott tells us the seed was obtained
in Mississippi, at tho rate of ten dollars the bushel,
from all parts of our District, that seasons are favora

A Nkw Kind of Cotton.—Tho editor of the Tri
bune lias seen a specimen of a new and very beauti
ful sort or cotton, brought from among the Pine In
dians of New Mexico, by an officer of the Mexican
Boundary Commiaslon. Its peculiarity consists in a
fine, silky staple, superior in leugth and strength to
ail kinds previously known. Tbe seed has been in
troduced into - Texas, nnd the plant will soon be grown
there extensively. It has also the great advantage of
not degenerating, nnd not requiring a renewal of the
seed. The plant, if all these peculiarities are proved
permanently to belong to it, mast effect a revolution
in cotton raising—N. Y. Mirror.

published a counter statement, backed by hU own

of ten-fold more magnitude have for years past been
perpetrated under tho Company’s own eye at Port
Richmond. Tlieso frauds are said to consist in false
consignments by which the drawback on coal going
to Now York was obtained; by false certificates of
weight and by false return* for dumpnge, by which
an allowance was obtained froni tho Company. He
charges the company with wronging him, nnd with

that ho felt perfectly justified in a moral point of

Tenacity or Lakh Superior Iron—If any ono
have any doubt of the great superiority of Lake Supe
rior Iron over any other now in use, we think those
doubts would bo removed by inspecting a shaving
now in our office, cut from a cast iron shaft mado or
that iron by Messrs. Jnluisou, Wayne A Co., of this
city. In its present twisted state it is ten feet long,
and if straight, would be tirenty feet. Though shaved
from a cast iron shaft, as wo havo said.lt possesses
the tenacity, and wo believe the maleabillty too, of
the best wrought iron. Shavings taxon from tbe or
dinary kind ofiron, break of thoir own weight when
a foot or two long. But this is almost as smooth and
free from cracks, as though U had been taken from a
shaft of lead In the same way, and Is much tougher—

According to tho Washington correspondents, tbe

rupted by tbo inadmissibility of the propositions sub
mitted by England. These propositions are said to
be—
“ To permit Colonial built vessels to obtain Ameri

England to American aud other foreign vessels. To
abolish the system of bounties to our fishermen. To
throw open tiio California coasting trade; that is to
say, to allow Uritish vessels to load in the Atlantio
