from Monday morning to Saturday night,
from 5 o’clock in the morning until dusk,

sisting him in finishing and taking him the
work, could not possibly earn more than 20

yearsand upwards, all working in the loom
as well as himself with his wife employed
doing up the work, earn in the whole more
than 81 weekly.”
FOREIGN NEWS.
Paris dates to the 7th, and London to the
5th of January, have been received in New
York.
“ _The only news of great importance is in
-relation to the continued difficulties in Clii-
na,'and the war in Algiers. The English
will‘ doubtless be obliged to fight in the for-
mer country, and the French are fighting
desperately in the latter.
A letter from Calcutta, of the 13th Nov.,
says the English ship Nymph arrived there
from China, after a very short passage, and
‘brought the intelligence, that at Canton all,
communication between the English and
"Chinese was entirely broken off. At Macao,
a collision had taken ‘place between the Chi-
nose, and the English and Portuguese resi-
dents. which ended in the expulsion of the
Portuguese and English from the town. All
communications were forbidden, except with
the Americans, who were acutely profiting
by these events _to extend their cornriierce.
The letter adds, there seems to be very little
hope. of an amicable arrangement. There
were 20 of the Chinese killed in the affray
at Macao.
In Algiers, the French are prosecuting
the war with vigor and success, although the
Arabs give them much trouble.
Qu-een.s.——-Some ofthe papers call Victoria
the Queen Regent. This is an error. She
is Queen Regnrznt. The British constitution
recognises four kinds of queens; the queen
regnrmt, or queen who reigns alone; the

and the queen regent, or woman appointed
by Parliament as a substitute for a king, du-
ring the minority or disability of the reign-

expectation of the country. He. would act
with others or follow them in maturing an
adequate and eflicietit measure. As the oth-
er petitions on the subject had been referred
to the committee on tliejudiciary, he would
move that those he pueisented should have the
same. direction ; and he hoped a report would
soon be brought’in relating to them.
Mr. Buchanan took occasion to say that
he was in the House of Representatives, when
a bilL for establishing a uniform systemiof
banltruptcy was introduced there. At first
he was in favor of it; but had been coiivinced
by the arguments used by its opponoiits, to
trike other views, and made a speech against
it.
Mr. ,IVebster made some ftirther rt.-inarks
in explanation. _
Mr. Tallmage prescnterl several memori-
als for the same object, and took the oppor-
tunity to express his hearty c.oncurrence in
the views andsuggestions of Mr. \Vcbster.
He spoke with much earnestness on the im-
portance of a measure of the kind, and hoped
that a Select Committee would be appointed
to take charge of the subject.
Mr. VVall, Chairman of the Coinmitteefon
the Judiciary, said the subject had been for
some time under consideration in that coin-
mittee, and they would probably report in fa-
vor of the appoinuient ofa select committee.
He thanked Mr. VVebster for his remarks,
and expressed his belief that with the assist
ance of that distinguised Senator, a measure
satisfactory to the country might be prepar-
ed. Tho memorials were then referred to
the Judiciary Committee.

THE CON VENTION.
5,000 DELEGATES!
Wednesday the 26th ult. was a proud day
for the \Vhigs of this state. Such a gathering
as that of the Convention in Hartford, is with
out a parallel in the political history of old Con
nccticut. The condition ofilie roads was such,
that it was thought many would be deterred
from attending the convention, but in their en-
tliusiasni, the young men surmounted every ob-
stacle and large uutnbcrs of delegates from re-
mote parts of the state were found among
the multitude that assembled. The number
present at the convention is estimated at FIVE
THOUSAND! This immense number com-
pared with the meagre representation at the
Van Buren Convention the week previous, forms
a contrast which it must be painful to our oppo-
nent to contemplate. Ii exhibits an encouraging
picture of the success iliat awaits the \Vhig
cause on the first Monday ofApril. The Whigs
should take courage at the cheering evidences
that greet them on every side, and redouble lllelf
exertions. Let there be no holding back—no
tiring in well doing——“eteriial vigilance" is the
waicliword. There is scarcely a doubt, that faith-
ful, persevering effort will turn from the high pla-

that the erection of Barracks at \Vnodsiocl<, in
this Province, for the accomrriorlalion ofa large
military force, has been determined upon, and
the work is to commence iintiiedialely.

been erected, commahding the St. Lawrence,
the St. Johns. the St. Francis, and the military

by Sir John Harvey. Our own side is utterly
defeiiceless—-our defences worse than useless.

At the Loco Foco Convention held at Darien,
on ilie 18th ult., Post Master John Brown, pre-
sided, and the delegates were mostly made up
of office-holders and office-hunters. But one
farmer was in atteiidauce. Nine candidates for
the fa \'0f' of being nominated Senator, were pre-
senied, but their deliberations finally resulted in
thrusting aside the "Great Oak” of New Ca-
naan, to make way for the " Sapliiig” ofDarien!
At the VVhig Conveniiori held at the same
place. on the rite 22d ult., Farmer Reynolds, of
Greenwich, presided, and three-fourths or the
delegation were composed of Farmgrs who never
received any Government pap, and never cx-.
pact to. No " billing anti cooing” entered iiilo
the deliberations of this body for the favor of "a
nomination-—but one name was presented, and
all united in recommending him to ihefsufii-ages

STAMFORD. ,
The following resolutions are extracted from
a series, which were adopted at a meeting of
the \Vliigs of Stamford, liolden on the 26th ult.
\Ve are compelled, for want of room, to omit
the preamble, as well as a number of the res
luiions. The proceedings ofiliese meetingsa
flowing in upon us at such a rate. that ifwe
to yield to all the wishes of our friends,our co
umns would be entirely occupied by such matter;
Rcsolrcrl, That we cannot assentto the Van
Bureu logic, which assumes as a postulate, that
the confer-ii ig of‘ powers to the Executive is of /
the essence of genuine Republicanism, any '
more than we do to the stale slang of Federal-|_
ism—whicli is falsely imputed to us by the ig-
norjanl and malignant, who without exaniination
or honesty use this falsehood in the absence of
all proof—malting experience a cheat, and fact
a liar—-as every page of our political history
during the days of Federalism. Proves that the
enlarging and sustaining of Executive preroga-
tive was a cardinal point with the leade.rsoftbat‘\
party. but in its ultraism inilrl and tolerant-as‘-V
shadowed forth by Hamilton, Pickering, Bay-
ard, and Morris, when compared to the friglitful
and all-gorging powers claimed and practically
exerted by Gen. Jackson. _
Rcsol-reel, That we are utterly opposed to the’
scheme of-ceding away the public lands, either
for political support or to reward partizan service,
and that we deem Mr. Callioun's Land Billga
fraud upon the old states, by whose blood and
trcasu'e this domain was won, and agross viola-
l
I
tion of the dccdsofcession by them to the Gen-"
eral Governtpcnt, and that it would be always
unjust and oppressive, and peculiarly so at this’
crisis, to dispose of the whole property of tli
people for the benefit ofthe few, and that whilst,
I
l
we would recommend generous legislation to-
wardsthe new States. we repudiate tlie idea'of
robbing 17 states to enrich 9, and prot .5: against
the same. ‘
Resolved. That we view with the most im-- I
riiingletl scorri and conienipt the foul effortof
Mr. Van Buren, through his niendacious ma-
chine, the Globe and its iniquitous cozirljutors, to
i
fasten on the opposition the pa'eruiiy and sup-
port of PoliiicalAbolition—it being notoriously
true that much of his strength is found in this ,-
clase—as in Mass. his file leaders. Morton, Fan-
totil, Bancroft, ‘.Voo(ibury. Sedgcwick, and a
host of others, have made him what he is in that
State, predicating support on his opposing the
adtnission of Missouri into the Union with the
slat-eholding privilege, and his eflbrts in extend-
ing the rights and immunities of the blacks in! *
the State of New York.
Resolved, That Loco-Focoiem, in its rabid
out-belchiugs, falsely charges the Whigs with
favoring a visionary and extravagant system of '
credit. and that this is false as regards us and
true of them—as in sates where Loco-Focoiem
has had unrestrained sway, tc wit : Pennsylva-
nia. Illinois, Michigan, Mississippi, Alabama.‘
and other States, they have firstoverloaded ilgany/,.
with fungus Banks and debt, and now. wit‘ho'ut_
principle or honesty, denounce and defy those K,
they owe, and would shuffle off debt and respon-
sibility both, by charging the innocent withtheir r
crimes, and swiudling the unsuspecting credit-
ors out of their just dues. l
Resolved, That we heartily and entirely con-
cur in the nomination of Gen.‘ Harrison forth
Presidency, and Gov. Tyler for the Vice P _
idency, and will give themiour warm and "G,
