The papers to band publish - the in ugural address to the peopld . of Kansas The address is quite lengthy. The••most striking passage is that in which the Governor arguesin favour of submitting the State Constitution to the people for ratifica tion, after it is framed by the Convention. In this connection he says ' • The slavery question, in view of a decision- of that tri bunal, is a peculiar question, to be decided by the people of the State, in the formation of their State government, and therefore it must be placed beyond all doubt or con troversy, by a vote upon the ratification or rejection of the Constitution submitted for their decision., And why should there be any difficulty on such a question ? Who can wish to withhold from the people their solemn right of decision, by themselves, upon their own form of govern. ment ? If they ratify the acts of their delegates by their vote in favour of the Constitution, not only will no injury have accrued, but a vast benefit, by giving the high autho rity of their direct sanction to the obligation of the Con stitution, and the sacred duty of every citizen to see its provisions carried into effect. Whereas, if the Constitu tion framed by the delegates is rejected by the people, which is the only other alternative. such an act would con stitute in itself the most conclusive reason why their voice should be heard on the subject, or otherwise they would have been subjected to a government repugnant to the will of the people, which is only another form of despotism or monarchy, in reality truly, if not in name. As a firm believer throughout my life of the great doctrine of State rights and popular sovereignty, and of the fundamental principles of democracy, I believe that to impose a State constitution upon the people of any State, unless it had been previously ratified by their vote, is a violation of every principle of justice, of every obligation of duty, of every dictate of honour and conscience, and of the consti. tution of the Union itself, as expounded by the supreme tribunal of the Union. It is true that the constitution of a State, as has been the case with many, may be silent on the subject of slavery ; in which case, in the absence of any.prohibition of the legislative power of a State granted In one general comprehensive clause, the legislature of the State, elected by the people, might act on the question of slavery, as they have done in other States, and especially by prohibiting the introduction of slaves. If the conven tion, in framing the constitution of Kansas, should think proper to pursue this course, their legal and constitu tional power to do so, with the sanction of the ratification of the people of their act, would be beyond all controversy. I must not be regarded as advising for or against this course, but intend to treat the people of Kansas with per fect candour in all my acts. It is due alike to them and Myself to declare in advance what, in my judgment, would be the effect of such a proceeding. The Burdell investigation had been resumed, when several witnesses were produced on behalf of the heirs, to impeach the testimony of Miss Augusta Cunningham, in relation to the doctor being in NQW York a few days nrevious to his marriage. On the sth instant, Judge Mitchell granted an order to show cause why Auguste Perot, one of the French railroad defrauders, should not be dis charged from arrest. Advices from the city of Mexico to the 16th ult. have been received. The report of the execution of Gen. Crabb and his party was confirmed. The Presidential election had taken place, and returns received were favourable to the re 'election of Cothonfort. NEW YORK MARKETS, JUNE 6th.

COTTON.—The sales to-day reach 1,500 or 2,000 bales; most of the brokers quote mid. Uplands at 132 c, and mid. New Orleans at 14c, but it is not easy to buy at there figures. Paovisioxs.—Pork is 5c to 10c lower; the sales are 575 brls at 23 dols 70e to 23 dohs 75c for mess, and 19 dole 25c for prime.

Yesterday, John Shattock, who was committed for trial on Tuesday, on a charge of forgery, was again brought up before Mr. Mansfield , on a charge c f having uttered a forged bill, for £35 10s, purporting to bear the acceptance of Richard Coleman, builder, of Rock Ferry, well knowing the same to be a forgery. The bill was dated 19th March, at two months. Mr. Clough conducted the prosecution, and Mr Bluck defended the prisoner. The first witness was— Mr. Henry de Mediae.examined--I am an attorney in London. . I received this bill and letter from the prisoner on the 21st March, (letter read). I advanced £2O to his banker on the bill. The bill was dishonoured. was his London agent. Cross-examined by Mr. Bluck: Is that bill paid?. Wtiness : It was, in this way ; I allowed him £2O in his account for it, but that sum was afterwards erased at his solicitation, in erder to meet the bill when due. I had actually taken the money at one time for it, but it was transferred afterwards for the purpose of the bill. This (an account) is an account of cash between us. What is the item of " £2O cash lent you ?" (the prisoner). That was the £2O that I advanced on the bill. Was there a balance due to Mr. Shattock at the time this account was made out? Yes, there wa3 a balance due to him, and I paid it to his bankers for him. I paid £6O to the bankers for him, but if that account ha I stayed over, the amount would be only £4O. In one of the letters, the terms "on the usual footing," are used. What do these terms mean? The meaning is, that if he were not successful with his cases, I would only charge him the costs out of pocket. Mr. Bluck requested Mr. G-arnett to read the agreement, and it appeared that the clear profits were to be divided between them. Mr. Bluck (to witness) : Is not a divi sion of the profits mutually, a partnership ? No, it is not. Don't you knew as an attorney that it is? Cer-. tainly not in this ease. When did you first ascertain that the bill was a forgery ? On hearing from Mr. Cole man that it was so, I discovered it. Mr. Shattock said there was authority to have the bill accepted. Were you served with a summons to account in this case? No. Was your clerk ? No, there was no summons at all in the ease. Ido not know whose handwriting the acceptance on the Ern is. When did you think of this prosecution first? Well, if Mr. Shattock had acted properly, and acknowledged his error, in all prob Tbility I would not have proceeded at all, but he persisted in it, and challenged me to it. In reply to Mr. Clough, the witness said there was a balance of about £2OO due to him. Mr. Richard Coleman, builder, of Rock Ferry examined : I see this bill. I did not sign my name to it, I did not, give any authority to any one to do so for me. I know nothing whatever about tli Richard Coleman, jun., said he had two bills from Mr. Shattock. Those were for rant and work done for him. He'Paid them. Cross-examined by Mr. Bluck : Did you ever sign a bill for your father ? No. Do you transact business for your father ? Yes ; but do not sign bills for him. (Here a letter, written by the prisoner to Mr. de Medine, and dated 30th May, was put in and read. The purport of it was that Mr. Coleman's son, by-the consent of his father, had accepted the bill for his accommodation, and that he would not now deny it. He alluded to some threats that were held out to him, but he repudiated the threats, and said it would not prevent him from doing justice to his family) This closed the evidence for the prosecution, Mr. Bluck : I now submit that there is no forgery proved in this case. Mr. Clough : We do not go for the forgery ; we proceed fcr the uttering of the bill, knowing it to be forged Mr. Bluck ‘Why, I thought it was a charge of forgery I had to defend, but when they can't sustain that, they turn round and proceed for the uttering, It would appear (he said) that the letter just read was the real cause of Mr. de Medine proceeding in the case, and when the prisoner wrote that letter he was certainly under the impression that he was acting correctly all through, or would he write so to a man in whose power he was ? A great many transactions had taken place between the parties, and a fair division of the profits, in his (Mr. B 's) mind, constituted a partnership between them. The bill was dated the 19th of March, at two months, so that it would fall due on the 22nd of May, and yet Mr. De Medine. takes no steps until about a fortnight ago, and if the bill was a forgery, he must have ascertained it between the 22nd of May and the time he commenced proceedings. He asked the court to allow him to put one or two questions t) the younger Coleman, and being per mitted, he asked him if he were not on very intimate terms with Mr. Shattock, and he admitted he was. Did you ever give him any bills ? No. Has he paid you large sums of money ? Yes, he has paid us ' a good deal for rent and work. Mr. Bluck: Did you ever give h;rn any bills? I did not. Mr. Bluck said, seeing this case cannot stop here, I think I shall not offer any further observations, but I cannot help saying that it is one of the most cruel prosecutions I ever heard of. The prisoner was then committed for trial. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE COLUMBIA. The new steamer Columbia, chartered by the United States Mail Steam-Ship Company, arrived yesterday morning with three d a y s ' l ater news. Her dates are the 6 th inst. The Political news is not of the least moment. The Washington Correspondent of the Baltimore Sun writes as follows : Lord Napier, who has charge of all movements, diplo matic and naval, which concern the British Government in Central America, has informed the Government that there is no foundation for the report that New Granada had ceded an island to England. The correspondent of the New York Times denies this. Ho says : It is untrue that Lord Napier officially denies the cPs sion of the island in Panama Bay to Great Britain. The Administration certainly did not interrogate him, nor did he volunteer a statement upon the subject. No one, however, in diplomatic or Government circles believes such cession has been made. The Attorney-General has given an official opinion relative to the proprietary interest of the United States in the recently discovered guano islands. Congress, he says, may terminate the possession of the discoverer when it pleases. Under existing laws, the discoverer is the nation's tenant at-will, and that will is to be expressed by Congress whenever the nation may desire to put an end to the estate granted; and the law forbids the Presi dent, before certain conditions are complied with, to declare any island as appertaining to the United States au afterhand act, according to his con viction of public duty. The Cabinet would agree on the 6th upon the Utah appointments—Governor, U .S. Marshal, and two judges. The Secretary at War has issued an order for the movement of twenty-five hundred troops to Utah, under command of General Harney. _ _ CANADA. eal•WIIW• ARRIVAL OF THE ANGLO-SAXON The screw -steamer from Anglo-Saxon, which seiled Quebec on the 6th iest . arrived yesterday morning, In re VIE HON.

Oak has been sold to a great extent at pritzs varying from 19d to 21d measured off, while in shipping order 22d to ;:a may be considered the fair quotation. Within the last few days it ,has advanced, and parties are now holding at 20d what they would have sold at 19d in the early part of the week. No fresh oak in any quan tity can be looked for for some weeks, and in consequence all in market fit for shipment will soon be cleared off. Elm is not in demand, very little having been sold in England as compared with late years. white pine is asked for, especially large averages, which are scarce. Some rafts nave arrived, bat mostly all of small s'ze and generally of inferior quality, and they have been placed at prices varying from 4&d to 60, while some good rafts have been placed higher. Rafts of last year, varying from 60 to 70 feet, at 7d to 7d, and for 70 to 75 feet in shipping order 91 to 9tcl may be considered the rate, As vessels take in their hardwood the call for pine will increase, and as calls are high, owing to the extensive improvements carrying on on both sides of the river, tee think the demand will be good for some weeks, especially for new timber of large size. Red pine is selling slowly in small quantly, the price of pitch pine in England having interfered mate rially with its value. Tamarac is declining, and unless there is an advance in ship?, we imagine it will be difficult of sale at a great re duction in price. Standard staves are in de-pand at from £62 lOs to .£65 for merchantable, and £67 lOs for pipe. West India are asked far at £l7 10s. Deals maintain the quotations in our last, and there is great inquiry for them, especially bright pine and spruce. Freights are dull, 30s to 31s has been given for Liverpool and the Bristol Chann=l, and £4 lOs for deals for London, and a good dealde of ton nage is offered. FORSYTH, E& Co.

The market was rather more active to-day, and prices remain very firm. The sales were about 10,000 bales, of which 5,000 were on speculation and for export. The Liverpool Share Market was very steady to-day, with, however, exceedingly little business going forward. The demand for Money is not so active as it was a few days ago, and the Bank of England having to-day reduced the Bank rate of discount by one half per cent, hopes are indulged in that the stringency that has been so pressing during the past three months will gradually relax, an' that a fairoura.ble state of the market may be immediately anticipated. The reduction had not, however, any material influence on the market for the public funds and securities, which remained rather :dull at yesterday's rates. Consols for money_clesed at 934, and for the account at 93* to After official hours the former figures being quoted. In the London Share Market we do not notice much business doing, yet prices of all descriptions of shares remain very firm.

THE CROPS. The reports of the condition of the growing :crops, from different parts of the country are contradictory. In some secti,ns there is doubtless a falling off from former seasons; but toe indications generally are favourah'e for an abundant harvest. Wheat and c,rn are doing well. Cotton and other southern staples are flou..ishing, though semswhat backward, owing to the lateness of the Batson and the drought. A letter from Jacksonville, Fla., says:— " The crops in this vicinity are very good, though by reason of cold and drought they are behind. We hope to mke a larger crop of cotton this year, than was ever made before in Florida." " Columbia county is one of the largest counties in East Florida. Ey inquiry and close observation, I ascertained that the Venters generally had planted one-third more cotton the present year than any previous one, though the :crops are about one month. behind. Nevertheless the farmers are in good spirits, and expect large crops this year, both of corn and cotton. , ' The Indianapolis Sentinel says:— "Farmers from all sections of the country inform ns that every thing is coming on fburishingly. The ;rain is coming for ward well; and promises an excellent crop—much better than was exp2cied early in the spring. The fruit trees of all descriptions promise a larger yield than they have done for years, and the grass is springing up most luxuriantly under the influence of the genial weather which we have had for a short time past.—New York paper. —Caledonian, 75k, 75/; Eastern Counties, 11 9-16, 1.1-16 ; East Lancashire, 94, 971 ; Great Northern, 991, 100; Ditto A, 92;93 ; Great Western, 641, 641; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 1001, 1008 ; Leeds Northern, 43f ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 441, 45k; Midland Stock, 831, 831; South Eastern and Dover, 751; York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 921; York and North Midland, 70k, • The Grain trade keeps very active, indeed prices are on the advance. At the markets held to-day, it was difficult to obtain wheat under an advance of 2s. per quarter, on the prices current this day se'nni ght. In general produce there is not, much doing. Late rates are, however, maintained. Respecting the movements in Mines, the circular of Mr. J. Tredenuick, of London,just issued, says : Daring the . past month a panic has existed to a frightful extent in mining property : shares in great numbers, and without discretion, have been forced upon the market until the whole public pause in buying even at depressed. prices. Shares can be purchased in West Seton, Condar row, North Basset, West Basset, South Frances, Basset, Providence, Margaret, and Botallack to pay 25 and even 30 per cent. upon current value, with fair prospects of perma nent continuance, although the recent fall in value of Tin and Copper has engendered universal mistrust in the stability of dive. as regards the future in this view, how ever, we do not concur, thence we direct the attention of our subscribers to the mines in question as desirable at present quotations to embark capital in ; we scarcely remember an epoch in the history of speculative adven tire so fiee from excitement or schemes of an abortive - character, as that which now exists; the sound progressive mines in the chief mineral districts of Cornwall hold out extraordinary inducements to purchase at ruling prices, money and patience have been expended in their develop ment, and the following possess all the elements essentia' to success, being practically managed, on the eve of import ant discoveries, or rapidly emerging into dividends. We are advised that the north part of the lode at the 120 at Alfred Consols is worth 201 per fm., the south. part, no lode taken down; the lode at the 100 is worth 1201 per fm., and the south lode east 201 per fm. ; and the 90 east is worth 201 per fm. ; the winze below the 90 on the north lode is worth 90 per fm ; and a winze is commenced below the 100 worth 801 per fm. This property is at a standstill in the market, and the shares are weak even at 17i ; it must, however, be evident to all associated practically with mines that the points of operation are laying open large quantities of ore. At Great Alfred adjoining the water is in fork to the 150 fm level, and the flat rods from Field's to Painter's shaft are being connected to fork to the 180 fm. level. _ The draft of the Sound Dues Bill has been issued, but the subject having recently been fully discussed in the House of Commons, there is little additional information to furnish. It is provided that the 1,125;206/ which England has to pay, as indemnification for the abolition of those imposts, is to he handed over to the Danish Government three months after the passing of the act. The Chancellor of the Exchequer lately stated that he had ample means at command for the payment of this sum, but a good deed of interest is felt to ascertain whether it will be withdrawn from the country or applied, as is very probable, to the redemption of the, English debt. At the present time, when money is leaving in such large quan tities for India, China, Sze , strict attention is paid to any exceptional demand upon our metallic resources. • The Sandy Hill Herald relates that a gentleman resid ing in the town of Granville, Washington county, died recently, and willed his wife a handsome sum, stipu lating in his will that in case she again married the sum was to be doubled ! That man was " sensible to the last." • GEORGE STEPHENSON AND THE PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE.—One of the members of the committee pressed the witness a little further. Be put the following case :—" Suppose, now, one of these engines to be going along a railroad at the rate or nine- or ten miles an hour, and that a cow were to stray upon the line and get in the way of the engine; would not that, think you, be a very awkward eircumstance ?" " Yes," replied the witness, with a twinkle in his eye, "very awkward, indeed—for the coo!"—The Life of George Stephenson, by S. Smiles. JUVENILE CRIMINALS --A large proportion of the juve nile criminals: are children who have been impelled by want, persuasion, evil example, or even thoeghtlessness, to commit petty larencies, which, had their perpetrators be longed to the middle and upper classes, would have been visited only with domestic correction. But their disposi tions are not really worse than those of most children ; and the mere refuge afforded to them by the reformatory from the temptations which occasioned their fall, together with the replier life they lead in it, the religious and secular i ,struction, the industrial training it affords them, and the employment which the benevolent care of the managers procures for them when they leave it, can hardly fail to render thein respectable members of society.—Mr. H. G. Bowyer's Education Report. MODERN LUXURY.—The cost of living in our artificial society itself causes demands on exertion which have an imperious tendency. Besides the mere competition, the house-room, and the cost of provisions in a great city, the growth of luxury creates want, and custom intrudes with fantastic demands tending to make the man.of science and genius the slave of his station in society, The sweat of his brain ought to be spent for something better than merely to live in a fashionable square, to dress his family iu the newest gauds, and enable them to, appear in all places of public resort. May I, without presumption, counsel a greater simplicity of life to those whom I would fain look upon as among the witntsses and guides of their time P—Sir J. K Shuttleworth in the Medical Times. - COUNTY EXTRAVAGANCE.—A petition from Devonshire stys, that county ra'.es amount to a very considerable sem, and that neither the ratepayers nor their represente tive,a, the elcete,i guardians, have any authority or control over the levying or expenditure thereof. That your petitioners, knowing that your honourable house views cith a constitutional jealousy any attempt to levy taxes on the people of England by any body except that com posed of the representatives of the people, pray that your honourable house will carry out the' principle which yen so much value, -and grant to the '"county ratepayers of England a control over the levy and expenditure, of their moneys by the establishment oepounty financial boards.".. BRUTAL CRUELTY TO A PiG —At the Guildford borough court, on Monday, Edward Hind, pig dealer, of Guildford, Was charged at the instance of Mr. Werayss, superinten dent of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with torturing a pig. James Bendel', a youth of fifteen, stated that on Sunday, the 17th of May, he was Employed to assist Hind to drive a pig to' Gonshall ; after going a short distance the animal refused to travel, upon which the defendant beat it over the head, back, legs, and tongue with a stick, taking out pieces of flesh, and streams of blood ran from the eoor animal'a mouth. A farrier was at length sent for, who said the back was broken, and it was immediately killed. %whirs evidence being fully corroborated, the defendeeet, who had no defence to make, roses sentenced to three months' imprisonment with bard labour LIVERPOOL TIMBER TRADE. Since o❑r last issue on the sth instant, the causes which we then noticed as operating disadvantageously on the tract: in timber have been but little if at all abated ; on the contrary, some others which we did not then advert to have come into operation, having a ten dency still farther to embarrass the market. A considerable number of Deals and mixed, principally the former, have arrived from St. John. Several of last year's importations had been pl'ed on the quay, conditionally on their being removedto make way for the early portion of this year's arrivals. These , which must be removed on or before the let of July, being held in part on account of the importers, and in part on account of speculators on the east coast, hare neces sarily been forced on the market. This circumstance, coupled with the fresh arrivals, has caused forced sales by auction, to avoid the serious leas occasioned by removals, rent, charges, end fines. A further tendency to reduce prices has been occasioned by the strikes of workmen connected with different departments of the building and furnishing trades, and the result has been a lowering of the prices of most *tides ; Deals having fallen in value about 205 per a , andard, while other kinds of wood have also been affected in a simi , ar manner, although to a smaller extent. AMERICAN TIMBER. PINE TIMBEIL—In this we have no sales in. carao to report from Quebec, nor have there been any fresh arrivals. Of th stocks remain ing over from la,t year's importation one or two parcels have been sold by auction, at from 163 to 1843 per foot, according to tae average, which was varied. On the • 17th instant a few tiers of a cargo, originally good timber, averaging 75 feet, sold by auction at from 161 d to 174 d per foot, from the yard. From St. John, during the fortnight, there have arrived 1,787 logs, which, together with the previous:) , large stock, has caused a considerable reduction in the value of this article. Eighteen .inch average is now unsoleab'e in cargo at more than 1930 to 20d. according to quality. Of Lower Port no sales have been declared. RED PINE continues much in the same condition as to value and request as at our last. Since then the transactions have been of a merely retail character. OAz AND ELM. —The former is low in stock, and when of good quality it meets with purchasers who are willing to give a fair price for it. A small parcel of old has been sold by auction at 2s 6d per foot. The latter is in demand, if of large average and good quality. HAW:moot:l.—Of this the stock, is light. A few parcels from St. John have arrived. Wco iof 14 loch average and fair quality is worth 16d to 17d per foot. Other sizes in accordance with their quality, the larger sizes being generally the more valuable. Good Parrabro' is worth 163 pi/ foot. rod Pictou is nearly of the same value if fresh and goad. P. E. - Island is worth 12d to 130 per foot. N.B. AND N. S. PINE AND.SPRIICE DEALS.—Of these 494,082 pieces have been imported since. th 9 lot February, against 344,703 for the same period of 1856. The stock at the present time exceeding that of last year by one hundred per cent. Such an extensive augmentation of stock and supply would of themselves be sufficient to account for a considerable reduction in their value. The following are the results of the sales by auction which have taken place during the fortnight, viz„ on the 10th inst., 33, lots of Sarni° Deals, ex Leader, from St. John, N. 8., were sold from the quay at from 6/ 173 63 to Si 2s 6d, or an average of 71 lOs 9d per standard, and nine lots Pine Deals at an average of 71 18s 4d. Ex Hochelaga, 21 lots of Pine and Spruce at an average of 71 4s 2d. Also 2,458 pieces of Spruce, 16 to 26 feet long, 3 by 11, ex Elizabeth Ann Bright, at 81. On the 12th a few parcels and parts of cargoes were sold, viz., ex G. W. Bourne, from St. John, from the yard 3 lots of Spruce, 2,10) pieces, 9 to 2G feet long, at an average of 71 18s 3d ; ex Malakoff, yarded. 7 lots second quality yellow Pine, of good selection, at an average of 91 5s 4d; and six lots first quality, at an average of ill 16s Bd. Of Spruce, six lots at an average of Si Os 10d. The remainder of the cargo was withdrawn. On the 17th a parcel of Deals, consisting of about 180 to 200 standards, ex Morning News, from St. John, from the quay, sold at an average of 71 17s sd, with scantling at 11. At this last-mentioned sale there was a large attendance of country purchasers. At the rule sale a few lots of Spruce, ex Marseilles, were c'eared off at an average of 71 lls 3d. Several cargoes and parcels hate been sold from the quay and yarzis by Private treaty f the price of these will not transpire. Qt/ESEC DEALS.—Of these the stock is light, only oneor two parcels of this season's import havingas yet arrived. On Wednesday a parcel, consisting of 6,695 second quality bright Pine, was sold by auction at from 10/ 12s 6d to 101158, averaging 10/ 13s 3d per standard from the quay. Hernocs LATHWOOD.—A parcel of St John of good quality sold by auction this week at 4/ per fathom, It is still depressed through the competition of Baltic. PITCH PINE Continues low in value, the market being over-stocked. Taaxwoon has been sold merely in retail quantities, there being no arrivals, and the stock on hand is light. GREENHE ART is in demand. and is worth from '4s 6d to 5s per foot. Since our Annual Circular, dated Ist February, 40 vessels, 27 1 078 tous register, wood-laden, have arrived from British Nor, h America, viz., none from Quebec, 32 from St. John, N.B„ and 8 from other ports; at the same date last year, 23 vessels, 20,042 hod arrived.
