l'-.3J.7"'\Vc are requested to say, grattlitously, in
our editorial columns, for the benefit of the mem-
bers of the Lyceum in particular, and for ' the
great moral, intellectual and social advantage of
the public generally, that the subject for debate
chosen last week has been changed. and that the
one now adopted, is as follows :
“Is the native intellectual capacity of woman.
inferior to that of man Ll”
Disputants as before.
Lrxcnxxo.—A noted negro thief, by the
name of Yeoman, was arrested in Georgia and -
taken into Florida, recently, who confessed to -
having been a member of a regular gang of
thieves, robbers and murderers, and that since
the Florida war, they had run off some $10,000
worth of slaves. On his arrival at J effcrsou Co.
Florida, the citizens assembled to the number
of about ninety, and after an inquiry into the
facts, took a vote, sixty.sovon to twenty-five, to
hang him on the spot, which was accordingly
put: into execution.
G1-:0. N. Barnes and Jon): Rm-zn were cho-

Great Britain has 45 war steamers built, and
26 building. This is exclusive of guard vessels
écc. for coast service only.
The Legislature of N cw J erscy assembledin
Trenton on Tuesday last, and elected \Vhig
Officers.
The weather,which during Sat1‘:’rday,brought
a drizling snow and sleet, cleared away in the
course of the night, and _tl1e cold became in-
tense, and so continued throughout Sunday and
Sunday night. The mercury at sunrise on
Monday morning was 4 degrees below zero, al-
together the coldest snap ofltho season. Mon-
day evening, as we write, the range is from 15
to 17 above 0.
Co.\'or.1-:ssxo:\'.u. ELr.c'r1oN.—Mr. Emile La
Sore, loco, has in all probability been elected’ to
supply the vacancy occasioned by the resigna-
tion of John Slidell, of La.

RUM R1-zc U1.A'rIoz~'s.—\V c published the de-
cision of our Conunissioners last week. An ad-
journed meeting was held on Monday last week
and another on Monday of this week, and after
some delay and disappointment, we understood
that \V. E. Bxssnm. has been fixed upon as the
lagent of the physicians, to sell for the purposes
allowed. No licenses have been granted in
either \Vilton or New Canaan. In \Vcst.port,
at the last accounts, the Commissioners had not
come t.o a conclusion. In Darion, we are told
the critter is sold by license.
\Ve refer the reader to the clear and able
report of the commiitce appointed by the -town in
'38 to investigate the subject, and collect facts
relating to Alms-houses, and other modes of
supporting the town poor. As the subject is
again before the town, there is great reason to
hope that a careful perusal will be given to the
report, and the facts it embodies, receive
the attention they seem so well to merit.
Mn. ADAMs.—l\Ir. Adams, it seems, can-
change his opinions, if he cannot his feel
probation of the people of this State; that this
Convention believe they but speak the senti-
ments of the people, when they tender to lnm
their approval of his administration, and t.lre_n"
regret at his intended retirement to private lite-
Resolved, That Nathan Smith,.Geo. Plum-
mcr, Joshua B. Ferris, be a committee to pro-
scnt to his Excellency, a copy of this resolution,-
and also a request that he would meet the Con-
vention at their evening session.
The Hon. Charles VV. Rockwell stated that:
he declined beingpconsidercd a candidate for the
. office of Governor.
‘On motion-, it was voted, that the Com-‘entio'I'1'
ings. He now is ready to go all lengths
for the whole of Oregon; but in the con-
ventiou which made the treaty of peace at
Ghent, Mr. Adams, if tradition is to be be-
lieved, urged that the 49th degree should

the American Commissioners to adopt that
basis. . The old gentleman gets brave in

But.Mr. Adams was perhaps then anxious -
to get his party out of a war of?-which the ,
people were tired, and possibly had him-
self become good natured under the emol-
lient applications of three years. If an-
other war would produce that effect upon
him now, it would be the best reason
which we have seen, for going into it.

./flrrival of Packets from Liverpool «.§- Havre.
By the arrival of the Oxford from Liv
erpool, and the Iowa from Havre- advices
from London to Dec. 10th, from Liverpool
to the 8th, and Havre to the 12th have been
received. _
H The question of the repeal of the Corn
Laws had been a topic of unparalled ex-
citement. The London Times of Dec. 4th
contained the following announcement:
“The decision of the Cabinet is no lon-
ger a secret. Parliament, it is confidently
reported, is to be summoned for the first
week in January, and the Royal Speech
will, it is added, recommend an immu diate
consideration of the Corn Laws, prepar-
atory to their total repeal Sir Robt. Peel,
in one house, and the Duke of W'ellington
in the other, will, we are told, be prepared
to give immediate effect to the recommen-
dation thus co.nveyes.l.”
The announcement operated like fire
among the most combustible materials.-
Tlie Herald, Standard, and other papers
pronounced the statements of the Times
unworthy of confulcnce——the latter reiter-
ated them in the’ most positive terms.—.
The opponents of the Corn Laws were al-
most frantic with joy, and the excitement
among all classes was tremendous. It
turned out,l.1owever,that the announcement
of the Times was unauthorized.
Preparations for war are carried on with
the utmost activity. The consumption of‘
timber is so great that contractors are un-
able to supply the demand.
The Liverpool Mail, in speaking" of the
famine in Great Britain, says: “It is as
we anticipated, and it is delightful to re-
cord the fact, that the monster ‘Famine,’
with which the nation was threatenetl, has
begun to devour its insolent and mende-
cious authors. Every post brings the
cheering intelligence that the potatoe fail-
ure, tlie distemper, are fallacies not engen-
dered by the brain, but proceeding from
the l1eart——fearful falsehoods, invented
for a sordid and dishonest purpose.”
The disease among cattle has again bro-
ken out in South Lancashirc, and many
farmers have lost the greater portion of
their stock. The present disease appears
to be a violent affection of the lungs, and
in many cases it is quite incurable. Sheep,
on the other hand, are doing well.
LATER AND IMPORTANT FROM EU-
ROPE—-CHANGE OF MINISTRY.
By an arrival at‘ New York on Sunday last,
Liverpool and London papers reached this
country to the 12th and 13th. The crowded
state of our columns forbids our giving extracts
from the news. The substance of it is, that Sir
R-. Pcel’s ministry has resigned, and Sir John
Russell been called in to form a new one. The
Corn Laws are the ground of this revolution~——
Russell being an advocate of their repeal. Lord
Palmerston it was thought would be the Secre-
tary for Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry will
be thoroughly whig. No confident opinion ap-
pears yet to be given upon the effect of this
change upon the Oregon question, but opinion
rather inclines to tl1e conclusion that it will be
favorable.
.4./\"a11:e.—A Frenchman yesterday ap-
peared at the police office to complain ofa
man, who he said, had committed a larce-
ny, by" which he, the complainant, was
the loser.
“What is the name oftbe person whom
you suspect of having committed the lar-
cano 'l” said-the magistrate
Franc/Lman.—“Ehl ’is nom? Val, sar,
don no vat. is do nom,” replied the injur-
ed Frenchman.
.Magz'strate.—-“You must ascertain the
name of the individual of whom you wish
to enter a complaint.”
Fr.—“Praserved Ton gees; I av it hare
on a papier.”
He here presented the magistrate a pa-
per, on which was written the words Pre-
served Tougues. It appears that the per-
son of whom he complained wasa dealer
in salted meats, and among others salted
tongues, and to inform the public ‘of the
fact that he sold that article, he had a
sign board with the words “Preserved
Tongues” painted thereon and placed over
the door of his place of business. This
the Frenchman supposed was the name of
his man and accordingly wrote it down,
and soon returned to the police office,
satisfied that he was fully prepared to zin-
swer the questions of the magistrate.
