At rival of the Caledonia-
Fiflccn d(1i_7/s later from Emopc.
The Steamer Caledonia arrived at B05100
on Wednesday morning bringing L0n<l0"
papers to the evening of the l8tli ult. and
Liverpool to the 19th.

The most iinportant

1.

item of news, is the
ratification of the Boiindry 'l‘reaty by Elle
British Goveriinient, on the t4tli ult. _'l he
London papers do not irientinrr the riitifi‘cti-
tion, but a letter received at Boston from an
undoubted source, asserts the fact posttiyely.
The letter is said to‘ be from our Mitiistcr,
Mr. Everett, to the Hon. Daniel Webs!“-

Money was plenty in England, but the
state of trade and Manufactiires was far
from prosperous.

The steamship Great Western waspiit no
at public auction, at Bristol, on the lbth but
the bidding being too low, she was hougl"
in by the Company for .56-40.000; and fl“?
Directors were-instructed to treat for her sale
by private contract. _

Charles Dickens’ work on America was
publishedgin London, on the l-fth ult-

The deficiency in the accounts of Mr.
Hannary, the inaiiagiug director of the lam-
Marylebone Bank, amounts to .£l7_,000. _

Captain Basil Hall is seriously ill. HIS
glowi-ng and active mind has been too wear-
ing it tenant for his body and paralysis is the
consequence.

The Ainerican Chamber of Cornmerce at
Liverpool have addressed a me-r_tori if to Sir
Robert Peel, urging the necessity of a re-
duction of the present enoruious duty upon
Tobacco.

official returns, that there is a decrease in
the revenue for the quarter ending at the
same date last year, of £67,473. But for
the property tax, the decrease in taxes would
have reached £381,277. .

The American ship Fairfir-lrl had arrived
at Gibaraltar with the news that llle 3"?‘

Emperor of Morocco had_ been settled to the
satisfaction of both countries.

ri'iess.'igc which tll'5Ct)Ut‘.\‘CS_ of’ Gun. Juclteoit nitd
the fine imposed upon by Judge Hull, holds the
following laogrtagc——

If General Jackson is such an injured man
in this matter—-if the repayment of the fine
is such a high moral obligation, why in the
name of all divinities of Tammany Hall,
was it not thought of before Monsieur Da-
vr,-znc found his way into the Ne\V York
[_,c-gislature? Why was it not during the
i-iglit years of Mr. Monroe's administratiori?
Du riifg the fotir of,Adnm's ? during the 8 of
the injured innocent himself? Or during the
fotir of the skillful wal/rer-in-/tis-footsteps?
Why have the admirers ofthe hero si.ifl'c-red
this high nioral obligation to remain for
more than a quarter of a century undis-
charged—a burrlr-n tipoi: the nation’s con-
sci¢_»nce—-\\'ll.l10tttlilting a finger or breathing
a sentence upon the subject. _

There is a riiistalie in the manner in
which Mr. Cleveland has stated the case, in-
volving a falsehood : lot we presume it has
arisen from his ignorance. He says:

"The noble and patriotic motives which
led to the performance of the acts for which
the penalty was iuiposcd——the imperious ne-
cessity that existed for their perforrnan.cr-.—
and the happy conseqiiences they occasioned
to the whole country, all prove the gross ll"!-
jnstice of longer delaying the perforniance
of this high moral obli_<__vation.” _

NJW it happens to bcthe fact that the
acts for which the penalty was imposed were
performed weeks after the British had been
defeated at Nt‘\V Orlear.s-—after they lmtl
lcft'th- country, anl after the treaty of peace
had been tlefiiiitr-ly signed. What happy

from the unconstitutional arrest and impris-
onment ofJii-lge Hall by Gent-'ral Jackson
in a fit of passion, it woiild puzzle conject-
ure to determine.

country, deeply interested in the happinr-s-‘E
and comfort of one of the captives.

S3/rz'a..—-A collision had taken place be-
tween the Maronites and the Druscs, and the;
Pasha had been obliged to interfere. Fear;
of further hostilities has induced the forma-:_
tion of a camp of 20,000 men at '.V1ilt:i, and?
fresh troops sent to Ezerouiri.

 

T/L6 Unitetl States and ]lIorocco.—The
Paris correspondent ofthe Courier do-s Etats
Unis, writing under the date of October lst,
states that Com. Morgan who had visited
Tangier with two vessels of war, had return-
ed hastilly to Cadiz. in the frigate Congress,
leaving the Fairfield at Tangier to follow
shortly for Cadiz.

The Pacha had refused the reparation
which the Commodore had demanded for
the maintenance of the pacific relations be-
tween tlie court of Morocco and the United
States, whereupon he had written to the Eni-
peror, and an answer to his letter was expect-
ed by the Fairfield. .

Case of Jo/in. C. Coll — We understand
that the application of the counsel of John
C. Colt to the Supreme ffottit for a writ of
Error, to carry up the case to the Court of
Errors for argument, with a view to the ob-
tainment of a new trial, was unanimously
denied by the Judges. An upplicutioii was
then made by the counsel ofaccused to Chat.-

Sln.gnlar Gltranic E:vperimenl.—Wein-
hold cut offa cat's head, and when its arte-
rial ptilsation had ceased. took out the spi-
nal marrow, and placed in its stead an amal-
gam of mercury, silver and zinc; immedi-
aiely after this was done, the pulsation re-
commenced, and the body made a variety of
movements. He took away the brain and
spinal marrow of another cat, and filled up
the skull and verterbral canal with the same
inetalic mixture. Life appeared to be instant
ly restored-the animal lifted up its head,
opened and shut its eyes, and, looking with
fixed stare, endeavored to walk; and when-
ever it fell, tried to raise itself upon its legs.
It continued in this state 20 riiinutes, \VlTt‘D
it fell down and remained motionless. Diir-
ingall the time the animal was in this state
the circulation ofthe blood appeared to go
rm regularly; the secretion of the gastric
juce was more than usual, and the animal
heat was re-establislierl.

Tire I10/y C/I.'I1/I‘C/L and I. 0. of O. F-—A
matter has come up in the Catholic Church
which is likely to make some. trouble. with
the iiiemhers of that faith. The Roman pon-
tifi has ordered that no Old Fellow sh.-ill re-
ceive the s icra.-ncnts of the Church, or sep-
ultiire, without rt-nouricing his connection
with this order. It is a matter of notoriety
that ahsolution was refused to a prominent
man in the Sixth \Vurd, on his death bed,
until he confessrd thesecrets of the order
and denounced it.

As a large number of Catholics. in every
portion ofthe country, are members of the
I. O. of O. F. the decision of his Holiness, as
promulgated by Bishop Hughes. will pro-
duce the tiiost painful conseqiiences.

T/ie Bmi./tr-ilpl Law.-Persons who intend
to take the benefit ofthis law, had better be
about it. There is good reason to believe
that it will be repealed at the next session of
Congress. It passed by a very close vote,
and we personally know of tnembers who
voted for it before, but will vote for its re-
pr.-al now. The Legislature of Vermont has
passed resolutions in favor of repeal, by a‘
unanimous vote.—Jour. of Com. -

‘It is not easily to be credited.’ says Cheyne
“wliat wonderful eff?-cis even in the most

the thinnest and least in quantity, the person
could be tolerahly easy under from the pain
of hunger, and continued for one, two. or
more years. Epilepsy totally cured :-uni-

am as much convinced as 1 am ofany natu-

dict ofmilk, grain and fruit, duly continued
and prudently iitaiiaged, with proper evacu-
ations, air, and exercise, are of the most in»
falliable antidotes for all obstinate diseases
of the body and mind. This regimen 1 have
for the last twenty years pursued."

in a highly complimr-nttiry manner of the

and the two new ships directly to Boston.—-
A smaller class steamship, the Margaret,
which recently came over, it is proposed to
rim directly from Halifax in Boston on the
arrival of the f iir steam-ships of the New
York line, This would form a regular
weekly line from Liverpool to Boston. and
a semi-monthly line to New York. This is
the outline of the plan, but it isinot yet deci-
ded on, nor will it be until the first of Janua-
