MANSION-HOUSE.---It wild be remembered that some days ago Sir R. W. Carden. fined Pound, the re lieving officer of the City of L 0734 lon Union, for having refused to relieve a poor young v 'Oman who had applied for assistance in her destitution, and in consequence of the refusal rang the bell of the Mansion-house. It is proper to state that the anemia:a gave directions to one of the Mansion-house officers to inquire into the par ticulars of the statement made - by the woman, and that immediately afterwards a situ a tion of an eligible kind was offered to and gratefully ac c opted by her. Sir R. W. Carden mention° 1 to Alderman Wilson, who presided in the justice -roof Et, that he had received a letter, of which the following is, a copy, from the clerk to the City of London Union - " City of London - Union,. No. 51, St. Mary-axe, Dec.: , 1854. "My Lord—l am directed by•-che Board of Guardians of the City of London Union to inform you that they heat(' with 'egret that their is sistant relieving officer, Mr. J. Pound, has been fined tv.'e aty shillings by Allier man Sir R. W. Carden,sitting as ;/our local tenons, on Fri day, the 15th instant, for not at ts ,nding to the case of An❑ Smith, a poor woman in a state' destitution. "The guardians considered it :right to institute an in quiry into the circumstances of t.la .° case, and they arrived at the same conclusion as Ald..Hrrnan Carden—that the necessary relief bad not been ad r dnistered. " The guardians desire at the same time to inform your lordship and the magistrates go nerally that it is their desire and their orders that such: relief shall be given to every destitute person that the nature of the case may require. " They be however, to say, at in the administration of this relief they meet with ato ny cases of imposition, and it is frequently very difficult, 4 ,0 discriminate between such imposture and oases of real d istress. " The guardians think it due to their officer, air. Pound, to say that he has held his office for seven years and has given theta great satisfaction; ti 'tat many thousands o f cases have received his attentia n, and until the above named case of Ana Smith he h as never been fined for neglect or inattention. 7. ` The guardians believe that ins tance to have arisen from an error of judgment, and not fr om any wilful or inten tional neglect, _ "In carrying out the difficult 4 uty of relieving casual distress the guardians rely on tin 7 continued support of your lordship and the other is agistrates.—l have the honour to be, my lord, , y , ojuorHinNels4 ,00bsedkeonNtvsseErczte,lerk. " 1 1 . the Ri g ht H on . th e Lord. Mayor." Sir R. W. Carden said it was :satisfactory to find that the guardians agreed that the ma e was one upon which the magistrate had decided ace 0 rding to their view of the question. He believed tha t the decision, public as it had been, would produce an ei:collent effect all over the country, for it would not o al y show that the reliev ing officers were bound to make , inquiry int o th e cases of poor applicants for relief, butt it would show the let ter that if proper attention wen not paid to them in their destitute condition, they h only to complain to a magistrate to obtain the necessr it y care. Alderman Wilson—lt should go forth that the desti tute must apply to the magistra t. of the district in which they are, and that they will by no means be acknow ledged here if they come from a 11 parts of the country seeking relief. Sir R. W. Garden—Certainly it is essential that they should know that persons of the description alluded to will receive anything but encoui ;ement in the city of London. Alderman Wilson said he could sot imagine how Pound could, with his experience, have f. lien into such an error. The relieving officers of the City unions had, as far as he was capable of observing, been in the habit of most efficiently as well as humanely p.s rforining their duty, and lie trusted no other instance is f deviation from that course would again occur. The Lord Mayor requested that. the press would ac knowledge his receipt of 101., the ►nrt.ual contribution of Wm. P. for the poor-box. .....t..c:x BIIIPPING INTE L.LIGENCE. CUSTOM HOUSE, LI:Ec. 28.

REPORT OF THE AMERICAN COMMIS- SIONER OF lADIAN AFFAIRS. The remnants of the Six Nations remaining in the State of New York present the interesting spectacle of one of the most renowned portions of the aboriginal race of this continent, still adhering, with traditional tenacity and veneration, to the homes of their forefathers. Sub jected to many trying and adverse vicissitudes, by which their numbers and territorial possessions have been greatly diminished, this once barbarous and heathen people, devoted only to war and the chase, have under gone one gratifying change, and now generally acknow , ledge and partially practice the more ennobling and '-eneficial principles and pursuits of Christianity and vilisation. Internal dissension have materially inter fered with their advancement and welfare, but these, it is hoped, will all soon cease and never hereafter be renewed. The peculiar and unfortunate situation of the Indians in the State of Michigan, consisting mainly of the confederated bands of Ottowas and Chippewas has been fully stated heretofore, and the measure deemed best for their preservation and welfare suggested. It is requisite that there be new conventional arrangements with them, providing for material changes in their affairs, and in their relations with the United States and the State of Michigan. Such arrangements could not be effected without more or less expense ; and, on the application of the Department, the sum of $lO,OOO was appropriated therefor by Congress ; but, in consequence of the late period at which the appropriation was made, and other circumstanees, it has been deemed advisable to postpone further proceedings until the next year. In the convention with the Menomonees of the 12th of May last they relinquish their right to a large tract of country in Minnesota, west of the Mississippi river, set apart for their permanent home by the treaty of 1848, but which, proving to be unsuitable for that purpose, was, therefore, unacceptable for them. In ex change, therefore, they were confirmed in the possession of a portion of a tract on the Wolf and Oconto rivers in Wisconsin, which, with the assent of the authorities of that State, had been assigned for their use, and to which they had removed. The tract granted them by the treaty of 1848 was guaranteed to contain not less than 600,000 acres ; that secured to them by the con vention of May last embraces only 276,480 acres, and is deemed to be more than ample for their comfortable accommodation. The lands, retroceded by them, though not suitable for their purposes, will be equally valuable to the Government, if not'more so than those granted in exchange. In consideration of the great difference in the quanti ties of the lands thus exchanged, and because it was be lieved that the consideration stipulated for the lands they have been induced to cede by the treaty of 1845 was inadequate ; in addition to the pecuniary and other beneficial provisions of that treaty which - were continued to them, the sum of 150,000 dols, was stipulated to - be paid in 15 annual instalments, commencing with the year 1857, when the payments in fulfilment of the treaty of 1848 will expire. This consideration was increased by the Senate in the additional sum of 92,686 dollars, making the aggregate amount of 242,686 dollars. Hav ing thus been permanently and most liberally provided for, and all causes of discontent removed, it is hoped and believed that in a few years the Menomonees will will exhibit some evidence of moral and social advance ment. The Department has been perplexed and embarrassed by the refusal of that portion of the Stockbridge Indians, of Wisconsin, parties to the treaty of 1848, to accept the tract of land selected for them in accordance with that treaty, and to which selection they at one time gave their assent. They are, or pretend to be, anxious to remain where they now are, at Lake Winnebago, and individual members of the band have repekedly visited this city to urge an arrangement to that effect. For reasons stated in my special report to you of the 25th ult., their application could not be granted. The only alternative seems to be to find them a suitable home within the limits of Wisconsin, and, ag they require but a very small tract, this can be accomplished with out prejudice to the interests of the white population of the State. The only other Indians having territorial rights in Wisconsin are the band of Oneidas, who occupy a small reservation near Green Bay, and are so far advanced in civilization as to justify the presumption that, like the Brothertous, they will, at no distant day, dissolve their tribal organisation and become citizens. There are, however, within the limits of Wisconsin, and also within the northern peninsula of Michigan, a few small bands of Chippewas of Lake Superior, who still occupy their former locations on lands ceded by the treaties of 1837 and 1842. It has not thus far been found necessary or practicable to remove them. The Chippewas who reside in Minnesota, west of the Mississippi, are not, it is understood, desirous of ceding any portion of their country west of that river ; nor is such a cession at this time deemed absolutely ne cessary, so far as the wants of our citizens are immedi ately concerned. There are also bands of Chippewa Indians residing in the region north of the headwaters of the Mississippi, who, from the imperfection of former treaties, do not participate in their benefits, and are, therefore, in a very destitute condition. It having been found that the country proposed to be given to the Winnebagoes, by the agreement made with them last year for an gxchange of lands, would, in many respects, be an improper location for them, it was re )ouuemencled by the Department th a t they agreement should be so amended as to assign them a location on the southern branch of the Crow River, to include Red Cedar Island Lake. The difficulties connected with our relations with the Sioux Indians of Minnesota were, a year ago, as ex plained in the last annual report, of a serious character; but they have happily been surmounted. During the fait season articles of agreement and con• vention were concluded with the Omaha, Ottoe Mis• souria, Sacs and Fox of Missouri; loway, Kickapoo Delaware, Shawnee, Kaskaskia, Peoria, Welt, Pianke• shaw, and Miami Indians, all residing within the con , tral superintendency, and in the newly organised terri tories of Nebraska and Kansas. Congress appropriated the funds necessary to fulfil the stipulation% of these conventions—the Senate having ratified all without amendment, except those with the Miamees and Shawnees. There are several other tribes in Kansas Territory with which it will be necessary to have new conventions at an early day ; and it is also very important that arrangements be made as soon as practicable with the Pawnee and Poncah Indians of Nebraska, by which their limits may be restricted and defined, and their as saults upon emiarants, and their hostile excursions against other tribes terminated. Within the central superintendency no perceptible im provement has taken place during the year in the moral condition of the Indian tribes ; while the unusual and pro tracted drouth that has prevailed in that region of coun try has caused, in many instances, an almost total failure of the crops of some of those who have heretofore at tempted to cultivate the soil. Some of the tribes will have corn sufficient to supply their necessities ; and, to guard against inevitable suffer ing and want, it has been determined to retain a portion of the annuities of the present year due to such as are destitute of provisions, and thus afford them the means necessary to procure food during the approaching winter and spring. The residences of the tribes who have recently ceded their lands Bhould be considered (subject in a few cases to a contraction of limits) as permanently fixed. The ()sages, Pawnees, and others, have also annoyed the emigrants, and committed depradatious upon them. The roads on the principal routes to the Pacific coast have become very important thoroughfares. Thousands of emigrants' and many merchants who, with their property to the amount of several millions in value, pass annually over the plains, are entitled to the protec tion of the Government. The weakness of the present military force operates injuriously in various ways, and it would be much better to withdraw entirely and let emigrants have notice that they must protect themselves and their property, and leave the Indians to be dealt with by our agents alone, than to permit the posts to remain in their present weak and enfeebled condition. The four principal tribes within the southern superin tendency—the Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws, and Chick asaws—continue gradually to improve their condition. Having generally adopted the habits and puruits of civi lised life, they are probably more prosperous and happy than any of the other tribes within our borders. The Seminoles within this superintendency are in a much less satisfactory condition, be'ng ignorant and more or less debased, idle and addicted to dissipation. The Greeks, within whose boundaries they reside, complain that they are the instruments and agents through whom most of the ardent spirits brought into the country are introduced, and they have appealed to the Government to interpose to abate this nuisance, which is attended with much injury to their people. T'se United Senecas and Shawnees, and other small bands of Quapaws and Senecas, also within the southern superintendency, are in comparatively comfortable cir cumstances ; but the Osages in the same district who not yet abandoned the chase, are in much less favour able condition. The Choctaw authorities are anxious to put into ope ration a general system of neighbourhood or common schools among the people, but have not the means neces sary for its accomplishment. They have requested that the balance of the orphan fund remaining in the hands of their agent, unclaimed, may be appropriated for that purpose, but, under existing laws, the department is unable to comply. The Indians in Texas are represented to be now more peaceful and orderly than they have been during a great portion of the year. Thpy have committed many out• rages upon frontier citizins, and continue their forays beyond our boundaries, in spite of the military force in that quarter, and the efforts of the agents of this de partment to restrain them. It is in contemplation to collect and colonize them on three reservations which the State of Texas has granted for the purpose, and where they are to bo partially subsisted at the expense of the United States for a year or two, until they can be induced to turn their attention to agriculture and the raising of stock, and thus provide for their own subsistence. The duty of making the necessary explorations of the country, and of selecting and sur veying the boundaries of the reservations, was confided to R. S. Neighbors, the principal agent of the depart ment in Texas, and to Captain R. B. Marcy, of the army, who were instructed to make a joint report of the result of their proceedings, with the plans of the reser crations. Conventional arrangements are necessary with all the Indt:ans in New Mexico and Utah, except the Pueblos, for the' purpose of fixing them in prope r locations, and of giving to the department such influence and con trol over them as will enable it , as far as possible, t o confine tiiem thereon, and to induce them to resort to agriculture and kindred pursuits, instead of relying, a s they 110 , W do, for support upon the uncertain a n d precariocus supplies of the ch:: se, and when that fails, upon the more hazardous and injurious practice of thef-P and plunder. Appropriations were made at the late session of Con gress, to enable the department to negotiate treaties with the Indians of these territories, in which provision should be made for the inauguration of the policy re ferred to. It is to be regretted that these appropriations were delayed until it was too late in the season to send out the goods and other presents, without which the ne gotiations cannot be attempted with a reasonable pro spect of success. Our Indian relations in California began to wear a more encouraging aspect. No serious disturbance has occurred there during the past year. On the 17th of August last, a train of Mormon emi grants passed an encampment of certain bands of the Sioux Indiana, who were waiting near Fort Laramie, for their annuity goods. One of the cattle belonging to the train made its way into the Sioux village, and was killed and consumed by the Indians. The Mormons complained to the commandant of the fort, who de spatched Lieut. Grattan, with 29 men, and an interpre ter, to demand the person of the Indian who killed the animal ; he was not delivered up, and upon the refusal, or idling to do so, a fight ensued, in which the lieutenant, his entire command, and the interpreter were killed. Of the various evils which beset our Indian population there is none more alarming than the traffic in ardent spirits. In spite of the laws of the Government, the vigilance and exertions of its officers, and the efforts of the truly philanthropic, the evil still exists, and has its sway. Considerable reflection has confirmed me in the opinion that much may be done towards abating this vile trade by a co•eperation with the Government on the part of the States and territories bordering on the frontier. Earnest appeals have been made to them for proper legislation, but only with partial success. It is hoped that this important subject will arrest the atten tion of the people and their representatives in the States and territories referred to, and that something efficient will yet be done l3y them towards aiding the Government in relieving the poor Indians from the evils arising from the use of ardent spirits, and the power of the whisky trader.

I VORACITY OF A DOG.—A Newfoundland dog, be longing to a regiment quartered in a town in the Nord, was lately found dead in the midst of a quantity of meat, which he had attacked with such voracity as to bring on a fit of indigestion, which carried him off.

Ipswich Tgs BURIAL GROUND QUESTION.—The Torrington Burial Board is quietly taking a decided course, in opl"" sition to th e Bi s h op o f E xeter. That prelate has, is 1 03- ply to their respectful remonstrance, approved of the' conduct of his secretary, and says he cannot consecrate the ground at Torrington because of the 85th canon, which requires churchyards to be " well and sufficiently fenced and maintained with walls." The board having ob• tained the approval of tke Home Secretary in res pect to the ground intended to Le consecrated, have applied to the parish vestry to vote the requisite funds. Before the ovuestttryher designm i eetin gth i e nt to t a — rd to p s l p ed en ge d d n i o tse m lf or a e n o e n w t:hoecar ry Ep is copa.ian l• thau on the Dissenting chapel, a n d to build the' two chapels in all respects alike. The Vestry voted the suns required with the utmost readiness, amid without offering any exception to the Board's plan ; a nd the usual notices for raising the money and for contract* have been issued. Should, therefore, the Bishop perse vere in his refusal to consecrate, there is a prospect that the inhabitants .of the place will, nolens voleno, be all buried in unconsecrated earth. BIRTE3.
