FEAVER'S EMBROCATION for GOUT,
RHEUMATISM, TIC DOLOREUX, &c.
Copy of a Letter addressed by Trevor Holland, Esq., Surgeon,
of Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the Gth July last,
to the Editor of the " Times :"

" Sir,— I think it a duty I owe to the public to make known
the efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and
which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some
months ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo-
cated and fractured any ankle severely. From the great tender-
ness of the joint I was spite unable to walk, tha limb con-
tinued very much swollen and adematous' and I suffered
dreadfully from severe Attacks of spasms in the night, which
extended from the ancle to the leg, thigh, back, and to the
arms. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and
my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no
purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con-
sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston—then to adopt sea-
bathing. By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill,
who applied his Em brocation, and, to my great astonishment,
I had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next
morning I came e,own stairs without my crutches, and was
able to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I am
now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex-
tensive medical •practice in the county of Stafford, I know of
no medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy.
In adding my testimony to Mr. Feaver's Embrocation, I am ac-
tuated by no other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere
desire to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf-
ferers. Pos. essing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice
against even, thing in the shape of quackery, I should be the
last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know
to be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug.
" I am, your obedient servant,
" TREVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon.
" Cannock, near Walsall, Staffordshire.
" P. S. At the various consultations held upan my case, the
surgeons and physicians (including myself) were decidedly of
opinion that the frequent violent attacks of spasms would ter•
minate in lock-jaw, but, as I have before stated, I have not
had the slightest symptoms of spasms since the first application
of this extraordinary embrocation.—T. H."

QUEEN'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.
DRUMMOND CASTLE, SUNDA7 EVENING.—The fol-
lowing are the visitors at the mansion of Lord Wil-
loughby D'Eresby, in addition to her Majesty and
Prince Albert :—Sir Robert Peel, Earl of Aberdeen,
Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, Duchess of Norfolk,
Earl of Morton, :Hon. Miss Paget, Earl of Liverpool,
Major-General Wemyss, Col. Bouverie, Mr. G. E
Anson, Lord and Lady Carrington, Duke de Richelieu,
Viscount Ossulston, and Mr. and Mrs. Heatheote.
It will thus appear that the party at the Castle is
rather limited, but not so the dinner 'circle, for on
Saturday night covers were laid for forty-four, when,
inclusive of the distinguished personages above
named, there were present—the Duchess of Suther-
land and Lady Elizabeth Leveson Gower, Duke and
Duchess of Roxburgh, Earl of Mansfield, Viscount
Strathallan, Lord and Lady Ruthven, Sir George
Murray, Sir David and Lady Dundas, the Hon. the
Master of Strathallan, Mr. Home Drummond, Mr.
Edward Drummond, and the officer on guard with
the 42d Highlanders, now doing duty at the Castle
during the visit of the Queen.
The gratifying reception that welcomed the arrival
of her Majesty and her illustrious consort is the
theme of general conversation in all circles and the
solicitude evinced by both Lord and Lady Willoughby
D'Eresby cannot but elicit the Warmest marks of
admiration from those who had opportunities of wit-
nessing their exertions to render the Royal visit one
of general rejoicing.
Lord Willoughby D'Eresby was, for some hours
previous to her Majesty's arrival, most anxious to
obtain the earliest intelligence of her Majesty's ap-
proach, and in order that all facilities should be
afforded for the progress of the. Royal cortege, his
Lordship came down to the new church at the ex-
tremity of the ancient town of Crieff, personally to
inspect the arrangements made.
In point of situation the castle is unrivalled in what
may be properly termed the low country, and in the
Highlands, Blair and Dunkeld have been considered
by the highest authorities to possess but trifling advan-
tages as to scenery, for the site of the castle commands
a view so varied and profuse as to render it famous in
all parts of Scotland.
This morning, her Majesty and his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert, with Lord and Lady Willoughby,
attended divine service at the Castle, the Rev. J. D.
Giles, his Lordship's domestic Chaplain, officiating
on the occasion.
The Earl of Aberdeen, Sir Robt. Peel, and a party,
went to the Episcopalian chapel at Nuthill.
In the morning her Majesty walked for some time
in the gardens and grounds surrounding the Castle,
the weather at that time being remarkably fine.
In the afternoon the rain prevented the Queen and
his Royal Highness Prince Albert from taking their
usual carriage drive.
The dinner-party thin evening was very select, the
only additions being the Marquis and Marchioness of
Abercorn, the Earl and Countess of Kinnoull and
Lady Louisa Hay, the Hon. John Stuart, the Rev. J.
D. Giles, and the Officer in command of the 42d
Highlanders on guard.
ANECDOTES CONNECTED WITH THE
QUEEN'S VISIT.
(From the Scotch Papers.)
During the Royal voyage to Scotland his Royal
Highness Prince Albert having observed that the
passengers of the Monarch, one of the steamers
that proceeded down the Frith to meet her Majesty,
were amusing themselves with dancing, directed the
Queen's attention to the fact, when her Majesty in-
stantly gave her gracious permission that the crew of
the Royal yacht might engage in similar amusements,
an act of condescension which the jolly tars very soon
took care to avail themselves of with infinite glee.
One remarkable circumstance may be mentioned in
connection with her Majesty's voyage, and it is this:
that neither the Queen nor the Prince were attended
by any of the ladies or gentlemen of the household,
but merely the usual domestics; and perhaps a more
handsome compliment could not have been paid to the
internal arrangements of the Royal yacht, with which,
upon all occasions, her Majesty appeared highly sa-
tisfied.
In Edinburgh on Thursday, the day on which her
Majesty landed, some ludicrous scenes took place in
consequence of the incredulity of some of the parties
who had purchased tickets as to the intelligence that
her Majesty had passed the spot in which they had
taken up their positions. Hundreds, who arrived long
after the Royal carriage passed by, took their seats on
the scaffoldings with the most imperturbable gravity,
and sat in the security of their ignorance for upwards
of half an hour, amidst the laughter and coarse gibes
of the lower class of the struggling mob, who in vain
assured them that they had arrived too late. One old
gentleman, who had come from some remote part of
AS'cotland, was actually immovable.
When her Majesty and Prince Albert were driving
slowly along the avenue from Dalkeith Palace on
Friday, a collier, with unwashed hands and unshaven
chin, approached the carriage, and extended his hand
to Prince Albert, who received it with great frankness
and shook it heartily. The collier did not attempt the
same liberty with her Majesty, probably, because he
had never shaken hands with a lady in his life, and
was not quite sure of the propriety of beginning with
the Queen ; but he exclaimed, " Ye're just the woman
we want." Her Majesty and the Prince laughed
heartily at the occurrence.
The anxiety to get a close view of her Majesty was
excessive. At the Castle-gate an elderly woman
sprung past the soldiers, and pressing through the
party who had been in attendance on the Queen in
the Castle, exclaimed, almost convulsively, " Oh,
will you not let me see the Queen ?" A military
gentleman pushed her back, but she was not so easily
puff off; again pressing forward, she stood within a
yard of the Royal carriage, and, clasping her hands,
cried out, " Hech, sirs, is that the Queen ? Is that
the Queen ? Weel ; what have Ino seen this day ?
Eh, but she's a bonnie leddie 1" The poor woman
gazed awhile in silent admiration, but was at last
forced to withdraw, much against her will, consoled,
however, by the reflection that she had seen the Queen,
and that the Queen had seen her.
Decidedly the most conspicuous of all the equi-
pages was a coach-and-four in flashing, flaming, scarlet
livery, followed by a chaise and two in the same. Up
and down, up and down, the main streets it drove
incessantly on Wednesday and Thursday. The crowds
of pedestrians gazed. " See ! see !' cried one in
every room, and there was a rush to the windows to
see. " Who is it ? who is it ?" was the question. "It
is the Duke of Hamilton," cried some. But none
could tell surely, and all wished to know. Who is
it ? It must be something great, with that red-hot
kitchen furnace-coloured livery. The thing grew
to a mystery. We had seen the equipage for the fifth
or sixth time, when as it passed us once again, we
startled our companions by a burst of uncontrollable
laughter. There, in the carriage and four with the
scarlet livery, we saw, not the Duke of Hamilton,
but—Provost Blaikie, in a blue coat and brass but-
tons. This mysterious equipage was the equipage of
the deputation from Aberdeen.
On her Majesty reaching Arthmore Lodge, the
hunting seat of the Marquis of Breadalbane, on Sa-
turday, the, people were most uproarious to see her,
and when she appeared on the lawn many'-were the
voices that exclaimed " Oh, she's a bonnie lassie, and
the Prince is a fine laddie ; we're fa' weel- contented
wi' her." Numerous were the questions asked,
" Where's Sir Robert Peel ? He's.next to the Queen
we'd be muckle weel contented to see him." And
when he did appear he was loudly cheered, and, I
am happy to say, looked remarkably well, presenting
a great contrast to his appearance lately in the House
of Commons.

MAticitEsTEß.—There is little change, since our
last, in elle state of affairs in this district, except that the
partial resumption of employment at Stalybridge, to
which we then adverted, is now thoroughly established;
and the greater portion of the factories at Clossop, Tint-
wistle, and other places to the south-east of Stalybridge,
have also resumed. At Ashton, Hyde, and Stockport,
little has yet, been done in this way ; and at Man-
chester, the factories remain in precisely the same
situation as on Friday last ; the spinners being steadily
at work, but the weavers generally refusing to return
to their employment without an advance. In several
cases, we believe, they have offered to come in, provided
the slightest. concession be made ; their leaders being
anxious to save their own credit by showing that
they had gained something like a victory. In this,
however, they are not very likely to succeed ; all the
large millowners steadily adhering to their determina-
tion not to give any advance of wages which might have
the appearance of being extorted by the riotous preceA-
hip: of the 9th of August, and consequently requiring
that the workpeople shall resume their employment be-
fore any proposal for an advance can be even enter-
tained.—Manchester Guardian.

The moon.will be full on Monday next, the 19th

season, that the corn and pulse of every description, at
least in this part of the country, have providentially beep
brought to maturity and housed without the assistance
of the harvest moon, which this moon is called.—Sussex
Advertiser.'

REPORT OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON TILE VETO,
READ BY MR. J. Q. ADAMS.
The Select Committee, to whom was referred the
Message of the President of the United States re-
turning to this House the Act which originated in it,
" to provide revenue from imports, and to change and
modify existing laws imposing duties on imports,
and for other purposes," with his objections to it,
with instructions to report thereon to the House,
have attended to that service, and respectfully report:
The Message is the last of a series of executive
measures the result of which has been to defeat and
nullify the whole action of the Legislative authority
of this Union, upon the most important interests of
the nation.
At the accession of the late President Harrison, by
election •of the people, to the executive chair, the fi-
nances, the revenue, and the credit of the country,
were found in a condition so greatly disordered and '
languishing, that the first act of his administration
was to call a special session of Congress to provide a
remedy for the distempered state of the great body
politic. It was even then a disease of no sudden oc-
currence, and of no ordinary malignity. Four years
before, the immediate predecessor of 'General Harri-
son had been constrained to resort to the same expe-
dient, a special session of Congress , the result of
which had only proved the first of succession of
a
palliatives, purchasing momentary relief at the ex-
penset

growingofdee pe r

odrles ease

four years of that Administration. It had expended,
from year to year, from eight to ten millions beyond
its income, absorbing in that period nearly ten millions
pledged for deposits with the States, eight millions of
stock in the Bank of the United States, from five to
six millions of trust funds, and as much Treasury
notes ; and was sinking under the weight of its own
improvidence and incompetency.
The sentence of a suffering people had commanded
a change in the administration, and the contempora-
neous elections throughout the Union had placed in
both Houses of Congress majorities, the natural ex-
ponents of the principles which it was the will of the
people should be substituted in the administration of
their government, instead of those which had
brought the country to a condition of such wretched-
ness and-shame. There was perfect harmony of prin-
ciple between the chosen President of the people and
this majority, thus constituted in both Houses of
Congress; and the first act of his Administration was
to call a special session of Congress for their deli-
beration and action upon time measures indispensably
necessary for relief to the public distress, and to reat community of the
tricve the prosperity of the gre

nation. - _ _
On the 31st day of May, 1841, within three months
after the inauguration of President Harrison, the Con-
, gross assembled at his call. But the reins of the exe-
cutive car were already in other hands. By an in-
scrutable decree of Providence the chief of the
people's choice, in harmony with whose principles the
majorities of both Houses had been constituted, was
laid low in death. The President who had called the
meeting of the Congress was no longer the President
when the Congress met. A successor to the office
had assumed the title, with totally different principles,
though professing the same at the time of his election.
which, far from harmonizing, like those of his imme-
diate predecessor, with the majority of both Houses
of Congress, were soon disclosed iu diametrical oppo-
sition to them.
The first development of this
.new, and most un-
fortunate, condition of the General Government, was
manifested by the failure, once and again, of the first
great measure intended by Congress to restore the
f credit of the countr b the establishment of a y Na-
tional Bank--a failure caused exclusively by the y
ope-
ration of the veto power by the President. An anxious
desire to accommodate the action of Congress to the
opinions and wishes of Mr. Tyler had led to modifi-
cations of the first Bill for the establishment o f a Na-
tional Bank, presented to him for his approval, widely
differing from the opinions entertained of their ex-
pediency by the majority of both Houses of Congress,
but which failed to obtain that approval for the sake

informal intercourse and communication between a
Member of the House, charged with the duty of

pre-

States himself, might secure by complia
opinions a pledge in advance of his approval of the
Bill, when it should be presented to him. That
pledge was obtained. The Bill was presented to him
in the very terms which he had prescribed as neces-
sary to obtain his sanction, and it met the same fate
with its predecessor; and it is remarkable that the
reasons assigned for the refusal to approve the second
Bill are in direct and immediate conflict with those
which hadbeen assigned for the refusal to
sign the first.
Thus the measure, first among those deemed by the
Legislature of the Union indispensably necessary for
the salvation of its highest interests, and for the
i n

restoration of its credit, its honour, its prosperity, was

affected by any adjustment of a tariff, to raise ex-
clusively a revenue adequate to the necessary expenses
of the Government from duties on imports, a Tariff
Bill believed to be nearly, if not wholly, sufficient for
the purpose, was elaborated and amply discussed
through a long series of weeks in both branches of
the Legislature. Not only was this most conciliatory
measure contemptuously rejected, but, in total disre-
gard of the avowed opinions of his own Secretary of
the Treasury, concurring with those, nearly unani-
mous, of all the most eminent lawyers of the land, in
solitary reliance upon the hesitating opinion of the
Attorney-General, he has undertaken not onlyto levy
taxes to the amount of millions upon the people, but

of continual and
unrelenting exercise of executive legislation b y the
alternate gross abuse of constitutional power and
bold assumption of powers never vested in him by
any law, we come to the Veto Messape referred by
the House to this Committee.
The Committee submit to the House their unhesi-
tating opinion that the appropriation of any part of
the proceeds of the sales of the public lands to the or-
dinary annual expenditure would be only the effectual
and irretrievable giving away of that great and ines-
timable inheritance of the American people. That, if
once the growing and inexhaustible fund shall be
doomed to form the whole or any part of the ways
and means for the annual estimates of the •
receipts and
expenditures of the National Government, the people
may bid farewell, a long farewell, to
every hope of
ever receiving a dollar's useful impr
-°vement from the
gift of God to them, thus cruelly and
perfidiously
wrested from their hands.
Nineteen of the States of this 'Union, in the ardent,
perhaps, in some cases, inconsiderately ardent, pur-
suit of this improvement of their own
condition, have
become involved, some of them heavily y involved, in
debt. The greatest portion of this d
-.OA has been
of
contracted for the accomplishment.
stupendous
works, to expedite and facilitate the
intercourse of
travel and of trade between the remotest extremes of
this great Republic, swarming, from
Year to year,
with redoubling millions of population. • It is no ex-
aggerated estimate of the value of these works to say,
that the saving of time, of labour, and of expense to
individual citizens of the Union, enjoying ....
the benefit
of these public works, more than reps _
s,
y in every
single year, the whole cost of their construction.
But, while these immense benefits have been thus
secured to the people, as a community of i individuals,
the States which authorised them have contracted a
burden of liabilities heavier than they are able to
bear. They need the assistance of a friendly and
powerful hand, and where should they find it but
in the sympathies of the National Government ? in
their fidelity to the trust committed to their charge
in this immense and almost boundless domain ? The
application of the proceeds of the public lands to alle-
viate the burden of these debts pressing upon the peo-
ple of almost all the States, is, if not the only, the most
unexceptionable mode of extending the mighty arm of
the Union to relieve the people of the States from the
pressure of the burden bearing upon theni—a relief
consisting only of the distribution among them of
their own property—a relief furnishing them the
means of paying to the United States themselves no
inconsiderable portion of the debts due from the
States to them; so that by one and the same opera-

tion the people of the States will be relieved from the
intolerable pressure of 'their debt, and the common
Treasury of the Union will receive back in payment
of debt no smr.ll part of the same sums allotted to the
States as their respective portions of the distributions.
The Committee regret that the shortness of the
time which they have allowed themselves for the pre-
paration of this Report, constrains them to pass over
numerous other considerations amounting to the
clearest demonstration that the distribution among
the States of the proceeds of the sales of the public
lands will be infinitely more conducive to the ends of
justice and to the relief of the people from their em-
barrassments, than the devotion of the same funds to
be swallowed up in the insatiate gulph of the ordinary
annual expenses of the Federal Government—to
perish in the using like the nine millions of the fourth
instalment promised in the States, the seven or eight
millions of stock in the Bank of the United States,
and the five or six millions of Indian trust and Navy
pension funds, all gunk, during the Van Buren Ad-
ministration, without leaving a wreck behind.
They perceive that the whole legislative power of
the Union has been for the last fifteen months, with
regard to the action of Congress upon measures of
vital importance, in' a state of suspended animation,
strangled by the five times repeated stricture of the
executive cord. They observe that, under these un-
exampled obstructions to the exercise of their high
and legitimate duties, they have hitherto preserved
the most respectful forbearance towards the execu-
tive chief; that while he has, time after time, an-
nulled by the, mere act of his will their commission
from the people to snact laws for the common wel-
fare, they have forborne even the expression of their
resentment for these multiplied insults and injuries;
tliey believed they had a high destiny to fulfil by ad-
ministering to the people in the form of law remedies
for the sufferings which they had too long endured.
The will of one man has frustrated all their
labours, and prostrated all their powers. The majority
of the Committee believe that the case has occurred
in the annals of our Union, contemplated by the
founders of the Constitution by the grant to the
House of Representatives of the power to impeach the
President of the United States; but they are aware
that the resort to that expedient might, in the present
condition of public affairs, prove abortive. They see
that the irreconcilable difference of opinion and of ac-
tion between the Legislative and Executive Depart-
ments of the Government is but sympathetic with the
same discordant views and feelings among the people.
To them alone the final issue of the struggle must

The power of the present Congress to enact laws
essential to the welfare of the people has been struck
with apoplexy by the executive hand. Submission
to his will is the only condition upon which he will
permit them to act. For the enactment of a measure
earnestly recommended by himself he forbids their ac-
tion unless coupled with a condition, declared by him-
self to be on a subject so totally different, that he will
not suffer them to be coupled in the same law.
With that conditien Congress cannot comply. In
this state of things he has assumed, as the Commit-
tee fully believe, the exercise of the whole legislative

But the final decision of this question depends
neither upon legislative nor executive, but upon judi-
cial authority ; nor can the. final decision of the Su-
preme Court upon it be pronounced before the close
of the present session. In the mean time, the abu-
sive exercise of the constitutional power of the Pre-
sident to arrest the action of the Congress, upon mea-
sures vital to the welfare of. the people, has vi rought
conviction upon the minds of a majority of the Com-
mittee, that the veto power itself must be restrained
and modified by an amendment of the Constitution
itself, a resolution for which they accordingly here-
with respectfully report.

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress
assembled, two-thirds of both Houses concurring
therein—That the following amendment of the Con-
stitution of the United States, in the seventh section
of the first article, he recommended to the Legisla-
tures of the several States, which on the adoption of
the same, by three-fourths of the said Legislatures,
shall become part and parcel of the Constitution.
Instead of the words " two-thirds" twice repeated
in the second paragraph of the said seventh section,
substitute, in both cases, the words, " a majority of
the whole number."

THE BOUNDARY TREATY.

To settle and define the Boundaries between the territo-

ries of the United States and the possessions of her
Britannic Majesty in North America, for the final
suppression of the African slave trade, and for the
giving up of criminals, fugitives from justice, in cer-
tain cases :

Whereas, certain portions of the line of boundary be-
tween the United States of America and the British do-
minions in North America, described in the second ar-
ticle of the treaty of peace of 1783, have not yet been
ascertained and determined, notwithstanding the repeated
attempts which have been heretofore made for that pur-
pose, and whereas it is now thought to be for the inte-
rest of both parties, that, avoiding farther discussion of
their respective rights, arising in this respect under the
said treaty, they should agree on a conventional line in
said portions of the said boundary, such as may be con-
venient to both parties, with such equivalents and com-
pensations as are deemed just and reasonable : And
whereas, by the treaty concluded at Ghent, on the 24th
day of December, 1814, between the United States and
his Britannic Majesty, an article was agreed to and in-
serted of the following tenor, viz. :
" Art. 10. Whereas the traffic in slaves is irrecon-
cilable with the principles of humanity and justice ; and
whereas, both his Majesty and the United States are de-
sirous of continuing their efforts to promote its entire
abolition, it is hereby . agreed that both the contracting
parties shall use their best endeavours to accomplish so
desirable an object:"
And whereas, notwithstanding the laws which have
at various times been passed by the two Governments,
and the efforts made to suppress it, that criminal traffic
is still prosecuted and carried on ; And whereas the
United States of America and her Majesty the Queen
of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,
are determined that, so far as may be in their power,
it shall be effectually abolished ; And whereas, it
is found expedient for the better administration of
justice and the prevention of crime within the terri-
tories and jurisdiction of the two parties respectively,
andt their r

rated, and being fugitives from justice, should,
under certain circumstances, be reciprocally delivered
up ; the United States of America and her Britannic
Majesty having resolved to treat on these several

Webster, Secretary of State of the United States,
and her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of

Right Honourable Alexatider Lord Ashburton, a Peer of
the said United Kingdom, a Member of her Majesty's
most Honourable Privy Council, and her Majesty's Mi-
nister Plenipotentiary on a special mission to the United
States ; who, after a reciprocal communication of their
respective full powers, have agreed to and signed the fol-
lowing articles

ARTICLE I.—lt is hereby agreed and declared that the
line of boundary shall be as follows :
Beginning at the monument at the source of the river
St. Croix, as designated and agreed to by the Commis-
sioners under the sth article in the treaty of 1794, be-
tween the Government of the United States and Great
Britain ; thence north, following the exploring line run
and marked by the surveyors of the two Governments in
the years 1817 and 1818, under the Oh article of
the treaty of Ghent, to its intersection with the river
St. John, and to the middle of the channel thereof ;
thence, up to the middle of the main channel of said
river St. John, to the mouth of the river St. Francis ;,
thence, up the middle of the channel of the said river
St. Francis, and of the lakes through which it flows, to
the outlet of the Lake Pohenagamook ; thence, south-
westerly, in a straight line to a point on the north-west
branch of the river St. John, which point shall be ten
miles distant from the main branch of the St. John, in
a straight line, and in the nearest direction ; but if the
said point shall be found to be less than seven miles
from the nearest point or summit, or crest of the high
lands that divide those rivers which empty themselves
into the river St. Lawrence, from those which fall into
the river St. John, to a point seven miles in a straight
line from the said summit or crest ; thence, in a
straight line, in a course about south eight degrees west,
to the point where the parallel of latitude of 46 deg.
25 min. north, intersects the south-west branch of the
St. John ; thence, southerly by the said branch to the
source thereof in the highlands at the Metjarmette
portage ; thence down along the said highlands which
divi6le the waters which empty themselves into the river
St. Lawrence from those which fall into the Atlantic
Ocean, to the head of Hall's stream ; thence, down the
middle of said stream till the line thus run intersects the
old line of boundary surveyed and marked by Valentine
Collins previous to the year 1774, as the 45th degree of
north latitude, and which has been known and understood
to be the line of actual division betweeu the suites of

New York and Vermont on one side, and the British
province of Canada on the other ; and from said point of
intersection, west along the said dividing line as hereto-
fore known and understood, to the Iroquois, or St. Law-
rence River.
ARTICLE IL—lt is moreover agreed, that, from the
place where the joint Conitnissioners terminated their
labours, under the sixth article of the treaty of Ghent,
to wit :—At a point in the Neebrik Channel, near
Muddy Lake, the line shall run into and along the ship
channel, between St. Joseph and St. Tammany Islands, to
the division of the channel at or near the head of St. Jo-
seph's Island ; thence turning eastwardly and north-
wardly, around the lower end of St. George's or Sugar
Island, and following the middle of the channel which
divides St. George's from St. Joseph's Island ;_ thence,
up the east Neebrik channel, nearest to St. George's
Island, through the middle of Lake George ; thence
west of Jona s Island, into St. Mary's River, to a
point in the middle of that river, about one mile above
St. George's or Sugar Island, so as to appropriate
and assign the said island to the United States ;
thence adopting the line traced on the maps by the
Commissioners, through the river St. Mary and Lake
Superior, to a point north of Ile Royal in said lake, one
hundred yards to the north and east of Ile Chapeau,
which last-mentioned island lies near the north-eastern
point of Ile Royal, where the line marked by the Com-
missioners terminates ; and from the last-mentioned
point, south-westerly, through the middle of the sound
between Ile Royal and the north-western main land, to
the mouth of Pigeon River, and at the said river to, and
through, the north and south Fowl Lakes, to the
Lakes f the height of land, between Lake Superior
and the Lake of the Woods ; thence along the water
communication to La'ae Saisaquinarra, and through
that lake ; thence to and through Cypress Lake, Lae
du 13ois Blanc, Lae la Croix, Little Vermillion Lake,
and Lake Namecan, and through the several smaller
lakes, straits, or streams, connnectinn;" the lakes here
mentioned, to that point in Lac la Pluie, or Rainy
Lake, at the Chaudiere Falls, from which the Com-
missioners traced the line in the most north-western
point of the Lake of the Woods,—thence along the
said line to the said most north-west point, being
in latitude 49 deg. 23 min. 55 sec. north, and in longi-
tude 95 deg. 14 min. 38 sec. west from the observatory at
Greenwich ; thence, according to existing treaties, due
south to its intersection with the 49th parallel of north
latitude, and along the parallel to the Rocky Moun-
tains. It being understood that all the water communi-
cations and all the usual portage along the lines from
Lake Superior to the Lake of the Woods, and also Grand
Portage, from the shore of Lake Superior to the Pigeon
River, as now actually used, shall be free and open to
the use of the citizens and subjects of both countries.
ARTICLE lII.—In order to promote the interests and
encourage the industry of all the inhabitants of the coun-
tries watered by the river St. John and its tributaries,
whether living within the state of Maine or the province
of New Brunswick, it is agreed that where, by the
provisions of the present treaty, the river St. John is
declared to be the line of boundary, the navigation of
said river shall be free and open to both parties, and
shall in no way be obstructed by either ; that all the
produce of the forest, in logs, lumber, timber, boards,
staves, or shingles, or of agriculture not being
manufactured, grown on any of those parts of the State
of Maine watered by the river St. John, or by its
tributaries, of which fact reasonable evidence shall, if
required, be produced, shall have free access into and
through the said river and its said tributaries, having
their source within the state of Maine, to and from the
seaport at the mouth of the said river St. John, and to
and to and round the falls of the said river, either by
boats, rafts, or other conveyance ; that when within the
province of New Brunswick, the said produce shall be
dealt with as if it were the produce of said province ;
that, in like manner, the inhabitants of the territory of
the Upper St. John determined by this treaty to belong
to her Britannic Majesty, shall have free access to and
through the river for their produce, in those parts where
the said river runs wholly through the State of Maine ;
provided always, that this agreement shall give no right
to either party to interfere with any regulations not in-
consistent with the terms of this treaty, which the
Governments, respectively, of Maine or of New Brunswick
may make respecting the navigation of the said river,
when both banks thereof shall belong to the same party.
ARTICLE IV.—All grants. of land heretofore made by
either party, within the limits of the territory which by
this treaty falls within the dominions of the other party,
shall be held valid, ratified and confirmed to the persons
in possession under such grants, to the same extent as if
such territory had by this treaty fallen within the do-
minions of the party by whom such grants were made ;
and all equitable possessory claims, arising from a pos-
session and improvement of any lot or parcel of land by.
the person actually in possession, or by those under
whom such person claims, for more than six years before
the date of such treaty, shall, in like manner, be deemed
valid, and be confirmed and quieted by a release to the
person entitled thereto, of the title to such lot or parcel.
of land, so described as best to include the improvements
made thereon ; and in all other respects the two con-
tracting parties agree to deal upon the most liberal prin-
ciples of equity with the settlers actually dwelling on
the territory falling to them respectively, which has
heretofore been in dispute between them.
ARTICLE V.—Whereas, in the course of the contro-
versy respecting the disputed territory on the north-
eastern boundary, some moneys have been received by
the authorities of her Britannic Majesty's province of
New Brunswick, with the intention of preventing depre-
dations on the forests of the said territory, which
moneys were carried to a fund called the " Disputed
Territory Fund," the proceeds whereof it was agreed
should be hereafter paid over to the parties interested,
in the proportions to be determined by a final settle-
ment of boundaries. It is hereby agreed that a cor-
rect account of all receipts and payments on the said
fund, shall be delivered to the Government of the
United States, within six months after the ratifica-

tion of this treaty ; and the proportions of the
amount due thereon to the States of Maine and.
Massachusetts, and any bonds and securities apper-
taining thereto, shall be paid and delivered over to the
Government of the United States ; and the Govern-
ment of the United States agree to receive for the
use of, and pay over to the States of Maine and Mas-
sachusetts their respective portions of said fund ; and
farther to pay and satisfy said States, respectively, for all
claims for expenses incurred by them in protecting the
said heretofore disputed territory, and making a survey
thereof in 1838 ; the Government of the United States
agreeing with the States of Maine and Massachusetts to
pay them the further sum of three hundred thousand
dollars, in equal moieties, on account of their assent to
the line of boundary described in this treaty, and in con-
sideration of the equivalent received therefor from the
Government of her Britannic Majesty.
ARTICLE Vl.—lt is furthermore understood and
agreed, that for the purpose of running and tracing those
parts of the line between the source of the St. Croix and
the St. Lawrence river, which will require to be run
and ascertained, and for marking the residue of said
line by proper monuments on the land, two Commis-
sioners shall be appointed, one by the President of the
United States, by and with the advice and consent of
the Senate thereof, and one by her Britannic Majesty ;
and the said Commissioners shall meet at Bangor, in
the State of Maine, on the first day of May next, or
as soon thereafter as may be, and shall proceed to mark
the line above described, from the source of the St:
Croix to the River St. John ; and shall trace on proper
marks the dividing line along said river, and along the
River St. Francis, to the outlet of the Lake Pohenaga-
mota ; and from the outlet of said lake they shall ascer-
tain, fix, and mark, by durable monuments upon the
land, the line described in the first article of this treaty ;
and the said Commissioners shall make to each of their
respective Governments a joint report, or declaration,
under their hands and seals, designating such line of
boundary, and shall accompany said report or declara-
tion with maps certified by them to be true maps of the
new boundary.
ARTICLE VII.--It is further agreed that the channels
in the River St. Lawrence, on both sides of the Long
Sault Islands, and of Barnhart Island ; the channels in
the River Detroit, on both sides of the island of Bois
Blanc, and between that island and both the American
and Canadian shores ; and all the several channels and
passages between the various islands lying near the
junction of the river St. Clair, with the lake of that
name, shall be equally free and open to the ships, vessels,
and boats of both parties.
A ancLEVIII.—The parties mutually stipulate that each
shall prepare, equip, and maintain in service,on the eoast of
Africa, a sufficient and adequate squadron or naval force
of vessels, of suitable numbers and description, to carry
in all not less than eighty guns, to enforce, separately
awl respectively, the laws, rights and obligations of each
of the two countries, for the suppression of the slave
trade ; the said squadrons to be independent of each
other, but the two Governments stipulating, neverthe-
less, to give such orders to the officers commanding their
respective forces as shall enable them most effectually
to act in concert and co-operation, upon mutual consul-
tation, as exigencies may arise, for the attainment of the

THE HINDOSTAN STEAM-SHIP.

SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY EVENING.—A splendid
entertainment was given this morning on board this
magnificent ship, by the Directors of the Oriental and
Peninsular Steam-ship Company, to a numerous and
distinguished party. The Hight Hon. the Chancellor
of the Exchequer was the only one of her Majesty's
Ministers whose official duties allowed him to attend.
Among the party present were Admiral Sir Edward
Codrington, the Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth ;
Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, the Superintendent of
Portsmouth Dockyard ; Rear-Admiral Dick, Major-
General Sir James Lushington and Lady, F. Carleton,
Esq., and Lady, Captain Ward, R.N., the Mayor of
Southampton, Captain Elliott, R.N., Capt. Codring-
ton, R.N., Rev. R. J. Robinson and Lady, Sir John
Campbell, P. M. Wilcox, Esq., Lieutenant-Colonel
Loch, W. Fawcett, Esq., Dr. Arnott, Thomas Wilson,
Esq., Major Strait'', Captain Barber, Captain Maim
and Lady, Lieutenant Jenkins and Lady, J. A. Shaw
Esq., and
.Lady, his Excellency General Sancho,, Chevalier Sancho, Sir William Pym, General Ven-
tura, J. Locke, Esq., F. J. Vanzeeleer, Esq., and
many other gentlemen, including several of the Direc-
tors of the South Western Railway, and the Hon. the
East India Company. A special train, consisting of
six carriagei, started from the Vauxhall terminus a
little before ten o'clock, and arrived at Southampton
about half-past twelve.
Upon the arrival of the train from London the com-
pany proceeded to the new dock, which has been
opened about a fortnight. Here a steamer was wait-
ing to convey the visitors on board the Hindostan.
The basin attracted considerable attention from its im-
mense space. The area is sixteen acres ; the entrance,
which opens to the lichen, is 150 feet wide. It is
capable of accommodating vessels of the largest sze,
as it is eighteen feet deep at dead low water, even in
spring tides. As soon as the steamer left the basin
the Montrose, Great Liverpool, Royal Tar, and Bra-
ganza steamers, belonging to the Oriental and Penin-
sular Company, fired each a salute of seventeen guns,
and manned their yards. When the company had all
got on board the Hindostan, she immediately hove up
the anchor and got under weigh, and proceeded about
two-thirds speed down the Southampton water. She
started at half-past one, and arrived off Calshot Castle,
a distance of seven or eight miles, at a quarter past
two. Here she hove to for a few minutes, to receive
Miss Codrington, a daughter of the gallant Admiral,
who had come from Portsmouth in the Admiral's
yacht. During the time the Hindostan was making
Calshot Castle, the company were shown over every
part of the ship, and were much gratified at what
they witnessed. In addition to the particulars already
published, the following will be found interesting.
Not only are her accommodations and conveniences
not surpassed by those of any steamer :afloat, but she
will carry out an officer not usual in the mercantile
marine—a chaplain.
" She is 2,017 tons, and has engines of 520 horse-
power, viz.:—cylinders, 79 inches; stroke, 8 feet;
wheel, 32 feet. She is square-rigged forward, carry-
ing all the yards of a line-of-battle ship on the fore-
mast; she is schooner-rigged abaft, and is in every
point adapted for a tropical climate. Her speed from
Liverpool to Dublin has already been noticed by the
journals of the day—she beat one of the fastest of her
Majesty's mail packets between Liverpool and Kingi-
town, by one hour 30 minutes, in an eleven hours'
passage. From Kingstown to the Needles, a distance
of above 450 statute miles, she steamed in 36 hours
five minutes, and from Falmouth to the Needles she
was eleven hours 36 minutes. She has the power of
working her steam expansively toany grade calculated
to produce the greatest possible effect at the least ex-
penditure of fuel; beyond that the engineer is con-
trolled. During the passage from Kingstown to
Southampton her consumption, without any expan-
sion whatever, was 'lbs. the horse power per hour,
which is extremely moderate under such circum-
stances. She has four separate and distinct boilers—
distinct in all their fitting—thus giving the engineer
the power of working as many of them as the wants
of the machinery require, according to the resistance
of the vessel between the light and load water-marks
—a difference of depression amounting to nearly four
feet fcr so long a voyage as that she is intended to
perform. She has four bilge pumps connected with
the machinery, and which are capable of throwing
above 200 gallons water per minute out of the ship.
She has pipes conveyed into all the holds and coal
depots from the steam closets, to extinguish fire, as it
is well known now that the action of steam is almost
instantaneous to extinguish flame."
After she left Calshot Castle, and got clear of the
Brambles, her head was put to the westward, towards
the Needles, but when about midway between Cowes
and Yarmouth she was put about, and stood towards
the Motherbank and Hyde.
A splendid cold collation was prepared on board, at
which upwards of 130 ladies and gentlemen sat down.
Sir John Campbell presided.
The first toast proposed by the CHAIRMAN was,
" The Queen." Three times three.
He next proposed, " Prince Albert and the Prince
of Wales." Three times three.
The next toast given was, " The Queen Dowager
and the rest of the Royal Farnilr."—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN next gave, "The Army and Navy."
Sir E. CODRINGTON returned thanks on behalf of
the navy. In the course of his speech he said he was
of opinion that in the course of time steam would be
introduced into every ship in the navy. He was
aware that there were many persons who thought that
the introduction of steam into the navy would alter
the character of the service, and that it would tend to
bring discredit on the naval part of it.
• t of the service he meant the
par By the naval
sailing part. He,
however, thought differently, and believed that steam
would prove of the utmost benefit, and if there was a
engine on board a ship
steam of war she would be able
when becalmed and attacked by
gun-boats, to turn her
broadside to them and sink
them. Ho thought that
steam, by promoting the rapid intercourse between
nation and nation, wouldbe a great means of prevent-
ing future warfare.
Sir J. LUsRINGTON returned thanks on behalf of
the army.
The CHAIRMAN in •
proposing the next toast, said it
was anticipated that they would have been honoured
that day by the presence of several of her Majesty's
Ministers. They however, at distance, attend-
ing were,.
on their Sovereign. There was,however,
member of the Government present, a gentleman who
had upheld those constitutional principles upon which
the welfare of the country depended. He would pro-
pose, "Mr. Goulburn and her Majesty's Ministers."
• Mr. GOULBURN briefly returned thanks. He said
it was the intention of several of his colleagues to have
been present at that meeting, but circumstances over
which they had no control prevented them. They
would have felt it a duty to have given encourage-
ment to that great enterprise which, while it promoted
the employment of English capital, was the means of
extending-. the rapidity of intercourse all over the
world. That splendid vessel was destined to keep up
a more close connexion and communion between
England and her Indian empire. When he witnessed
that beautiful ship, and saw the skill and enterprise
displayed in building her and fitting her with ma-
chinery, it was to him a most gratifying sight, for in
it he witnessed time skill, and power, and wisdom, of
the country, which added to the character of the
glory she had displayed. In the absence of any other
member of the Government, he thanked them tbr the
honour. they had conferred upon him and his col-
leagues.

Sir J. LUSIIINGTON then proposed " The health of
