ODD-FELLOWS DEMONSTRATION.

At Chester, on the sth instant, a numerous assemblage of
.-the various lodges took place at the Linen-hall, at ten
o'clock, and after being marshalled by the P. G. M. of the
district, walked in procession through the town to St. Paul's
'church, where a most impressive sermon for the occasion
Was preached by the Rev. Mr. GATI3OII, and a collection
made in a'd of the Ragged School. The procession then
ze-formed, and continued their walk until they arrived
'at the Linen•hall, and after three cheers being given for
our beloved Queen, the Brethern retired to their various
dodges. The Heart of Oak Lo3ge was presided over by
'the Prov:ncial G. M., an 1 after discussing a dinner served
in Mr. Lloyd's usual style of bountious liberality, the
chairman proposed in succession—" the Queen," with all
honours; " the Prince Consort, and the rest of the Royal
FamilY," with cheers ; the " Army and Navy," cheers ;
"the Grand Master and Board of Directors," drank with
"Odd-Fellows honours. In proposing the health of " the
Past and Present Officers of the Heart of Oak
l'udge," the Chairman said, the duties of those
gentlemen were onerous and vciluable, and had been
discharged in such a manner as to merit the beat
thanks of the members drank with Odd-fellows honours.
The evening was enlivened by numerous beautiful songs,
and, of er pas,ing a few festive hours the brethern broke
up, when most of them took their way to the Linen-hall,
When a splendid ball took place, which was numerously
and respectably attended.
We are happy to say that the Lodges of this Society are
'in a very prosperouss tate.
The Chester district, for the last fifteen years, have given
a dotation of £5 to the Blue Coat School, and we are
Sorry to hear that, on application for the boys of the
school to head the procession, it was refused.

AMERICA,

ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC AND
VANDERBILT.

The United States Mail Steam-ship Vanderbilt,
Higgins commander, which sailed from New York
on the Ist instant, arrived off Cowes this morning.
She brings 173 passengers and 526,560 dollars
specie on freight, besides a splendid pair of bay
ponies for the Ern2eror of France. The Vander-
bilt reports that the steamship Indiana, from
Southampton, arrived at New York on the morning
of the 29th ult.; the Ariel at noon on the same
day; and the Washington at 11 o'clock the same

night.

The papers brought by the Vanderbilt are totally
destitute of information, general or political.
The United States Mail Steam-ship Atlantic,
Captain Elridae, which sailed from New York on
the Ist instant, arrived here shortly after midnight,
bringing nearly 50 passengers, the usual mail, and
specie on freight amounting to 364,456 dollars
The vanguard of the array for Utah set out from
Leavenworth, Kansas, for the Salt Lake city, on
the 11th ult. The sloop of war Cyane arrived at
Boston on the 20th, with 53 of General Walker's

The commercial advices by this arrival inform
us that the stock market had lost all its buoyancy.
Thy downward movement had fairly set in, and
we may expect, with occasional re-actions, a
steady decline in all the most inflated railroad
stocks. .

The Ottawas Indians of Kansas have surren
dered their tribal character, and become citizens
of the Linited States. The troubles with the Sioux
Indians are ended.

The New York Herald says that the question
raised by the seizure of the Pancheta, is suscepti-
ble of being viewed in a very serious aspect. The
Herald hopes that it will not be dismissed till the
rights of the respective vessels of the African
squadron are clearly laid down and uniformly
acqub2sced in. The same paper says that the
Ashburton treaty leaves the subject of search in
convenient obscurity.

The New Yurk papers are publishing the trial
of Miss MArleline Smith in exte►zso, with a portrait
of the prisoner, and all the letters which she wrote
to L'Angclier.

A letter from Colonel Bonneville, in command
of the Gila Expedition, says that there is being
developed one of the most beautiful, fertile, and
healthy regions of our country, and that in all
places it furnishes evidenceS of a former numerous
people, more civilized and industrious, and, no
doubt, more docile than the wandering Apache who
now desolates it. Our efforts,. constantly at the
heels of these Apaches, forces them further West,
crowding them upon more Western nations, who
report their mountains inundated with new faces.
who are forcing their way with rifle and revolver.
