CENTRAL AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION.

On Monday afternoon a meeting of deputations of various
agricultural associations was held at the Lowther Rooms,
Strand, for the purpose of receiving the report of the com-
mittee appointed " to concert such measures for the continu-
ance of the present system of corn laws as they may consider
advisable, and for the general purposes of the agricultural
interest." His Grace the Duke of Buckingham in the
chair.

Amongst the distinguished gentlemen present we noticed
Sir Charles Knightley, M.P., G. T. Harcourt, Esq., M.P.,
C. G. Du Pre, M.P., Plumptre, Esq., M.P., Fleming,
Esq., M.P., Bragge, Esq.' M.P., Compton, Esq.,
M.P., Eaton, Esq., M.P., W. M. Praed, Esq., M.P.,
Long, Esq., Bell, Esq., and many other influential
gentlemen connected with the agricultural interest.
.The noble Chairman said the present meeting had been
called together in pursuance of a resolution passed by the
meeting of the 28th of February last, when he and others had
some reason for believing that the anti-corn-law delegates
had retreated. But that retreat was of very short duration
—for he believed that they are now sitting not far off, with a
view to carry their ruinous project into effect, if they pos-
sibly could. His sentiments, however, were so fully known
upon the necessity of maintaining the present system of corn
laws, that he would not detain the meeting many minutes,
but he would express a fervent hope that the farmers through-
out the kingdom would not flinch in the hour of peril (hear,
hear) that they would put on a bold and determined front,
and defeat the attacks of bold and dangerous men upon the
present system of the corn-laws. Hear, hear,) Their
cause was good, and notwithstanding t e desperate efforts of
the anti-corn-law advocates he had no doubt but that the
agriculturists would succeed. The doctrines now promul-
gated by the anti-corn-law delegates were frightful to con-
template, and would absolutely call for some strong expres-
sion of disapprobation from this respectable meeting. (Hear,
hear.)

The secretary then read the following report :
" Report of the Committee appointed at a Meeting of Depu-
tations of various Agricultural Associations, held at the
Union Hotel, Cockspur Street, on Thursday, 28th Feb.,
1839, appointed to concert such measures for the continuance
of the present system of corn-laws, as they may consider
advisable.

" Your committee proceel:led forthwith to discharge the
duties intrusted to :them, and having appointed Colonel
North their chairman, directions were iven to the secretary
to communicate the general .resolutions to the several agri-
cultural associations throughout the kingdom, and various
answers have been received, expressive of their determina-
tion to give every assistance in support of the agricultural
interest.

" Your committee feel that, notwithstanding the signal
defeats which the delegates have sustained, both in town and
country, yet until these defeats are finally confirmed by the
probable result of the hostile motions which are yet intended
to be brought before parliament, the committee would ill
discharge the duty confided to them did they not most earn-
estly but respectfully impress upon the general meeting the
absolute necessity of not relaxing in the least degree from its
exertions to frustrate the attempts of their opponents, whom
your committee find have again renewed their agitation in
London.

" Your committee cannot avoid drawing the serious atten-
tion of the meeting to the dangerous and unconstitutional
principles which the corn-law delegates have made public in
the advertisement which has this day appeared in the Morn-
ing Chronicle, and your committee trust the general meeting
will come to some resolution which will show their detesta-
tion of those principles, and at the same time give an as-
surance that their determination to resist any alterations in
the corn laws arises from no selfish'motives, but from the
honest conviction that such repeal, under the present cir-
cumstances of the country, would be more injurious to the
middling and labouring part of the people than to any other
classes whatever.

" Your committee beg most respectfully to offer the con-
tinuance of their humble services to carry into effect the
duties entrusted to them.

" F. SYDNEY NORTH, Chairman."
On the motion of Mr. Du Pre, seconded by Mr. Harcourt,
the report was unanimously agreed to.
Sir C. Knightly, after a few prefatory remarks, moved
the following resolution
That this meeting, observing the declaration of the anti-
corn-law delegates, as advertised in the Morning Chronicle,
of this day,—Resolved, that it is our opinion, an opinion
founded on observation and experience, that it is just and
imperative that the farmers of this country should be pro-
tected by laws regulating the importation of foreign corn ;
that the present graduated scale is most equitable in princi-
ple, admirable in working, and fair in its provisions, not
only as regards the agriculturist, but as concerns every in-
terest in the nation ; and this meeting will by every legitimate
means use its continued and most energetic exertions to main-
tain unimpaired the present system of corn laws, and to frus-
trate the selfish and mischievous measures originating from
the anti-corn-law delegates, and pursued with such constancy
of purpose and emulated hostility to the general interests of
the empire."
Mr. Plumptre, M.P., said he felt great pleasure in second-
ing the resolution, and he could assure the meeting that the
agriculturists in East Kent were, like themselves, strongly
in favour of the existing system of corn laws.
' The resolution was then unanimously agreed to.
Mr. Webb, Mr. Harcourt, M.P., Mr. Bagge, M.P.,Mr.
Bell, and others, addressed the meeting in support f the
existing corn laws, and the meeting broke up.

CENTRAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF GREAT
BRITAIN AND IRELAND,

present year.

John :Joseph Allnatt, Esq., hon. secretary of the Walling-
ford Agricultural Association, has been elected vice-chairman
for the present year.
The following noblemen and gentlemen have been re-elect-
ed vice-presidents of the society for the present year :—The

well, Esq., John Benett, Esq., M.P., Edmund Wodehouse,
Esq., M.P., E. S. Cayley, Esq., M.P.,' H. Handley, Esq.,
M.P., William Ormsby Gore, Esq., M.P.
It was resolved that the appointment of sub-committees,
and other objects connected with the interests of agriculture,
should for the present be postponed, in order that the atten-
tion and efforts of the society may be concentrated in the
best means of protecting British agriculture from the present
attack upon the corn laws.

Thelowing petition to the House of Commons was
adopted for presentation to the house by William Ormsby
Gore, Esq., prior to Mr. Villiers's motion on the corn laws :
" To the Honourable the Commons of the United kingdom,
in Parliament assembled ;
"'The humble Petition of the Central Agricultural
Society of Great Britain and Ireland,
" Showeth,—That your petitioners comprise a numerous
body of landowners, yeomen, farmers, and others, deeply in-
terested in the protection and welfare of British agriculture,
and represent the feelings and interests of nearly seventy of
the local Agricultural Associations of the United Kingdom.
" That your petitioners have seen, with regret and alarm,
that great efforts have been made, and are still being made,
to arouse throughout the country a feeling hostile to the laws
which have been enacted by the legislature for the purpose
of upholding the security and value of agricultural capital.
" That it is the opinion of your petitioners that the corn-
laws are of essential importance, not only as affecting the
interests of those whose property consists in agricultural
production, but likewise as affecting a vast amount of other
property, which is dependent upon the stability of agricul-
tural property. Moreover, your petitioners feel themselves
justified in asserting that if a rigid examination were insti-
tuted into the facts thus combined, it would be found that the
ramifications of these interests are so great and diversified,
as to extend themselves to the entire property of the country.
" That, entertaining these convictions, your petitioners
have beheld with the utmost surprise and indignation, that
certain parties of their countrymen deluded by a false
calculation of their own more direct interests, have attempted
to fix the odious character of monopoly to that which
operates merely as a just protection, and conduces to the
general advantage.
" That to show their abhorrence of the partial and unjust
operation of a monopoly, your petitioners beg to express to
your honourable house their readiness, as far as their own
interests are concerned, to concede to others of their coun-
trymen that fair proportion of protection which they find
essential to the preservation of agricultural property, when-
ever it shall be evident, as your petitioners submit is the fact
in the present instance, that such protection is required either
by reason of a severe and unequal pressure of taxation, or of
any other cause that may render the law of competition un-
justly destructive in its operation.
" That your petitioners beg to assure your honourable
house, that instead of being actuated by the base motives
which have been imputed to them, of impeding, for the sake
of a selfish purpose, the progressive prosperity of their
country, and thereby diminishing the enjoyments of the less
fortunate class of their fellow-subjects, whose comforts are
dependent on their daily earnings, and whose only'resource
is their daily labour, the reverse of this is the truth, your
petitioners being convinced that the abolition of all protection
from agricultural capital would bring about, in the first in-
stance, a diminution of the wages of those who are employed
in agilPo iture ; and in the next, that llid evil of decreased
earningt,, and consequently of decreased enjoyment, would be
extended by degrees to the general tabour of the community.
" Your petitioners, therefore, implore your honourable
house to preserve entire the existing coin-laws, as, in the
opinion of your petitioners, these laws are indispensable for
upholding the present insufficient remuneration of labour,
for securing the enjoyment' of property in general, and for
preserving that just union of interests which constitutes the
strength and prosperity of states.
" Signed in the name, and on behalf of the Central
Agricultural Society of Great Britain and Ireland,
in virtue of a resolution to that effect, unanimously
carried at a general meeting of members held in
London on the 26th February, 1839, of which the
undersigned was Chairman, TANKERVILLE."

NATIONAL CONVENTION.—ULTERIOR MEASURE-MEN.
—On Wednesday, Mr. Whittle moved a vote of censure
against three delegates for having, at a late meeting of the
Democratic Association, promoted the adoption of a resolu-
tion, which in terms declared that " if the convention did its
duty, the people's rights would he secured in less than a
month." This being a direct condemnation of the conven-
tion for not having resorted to the " ulterior measures," he
thought these delegates should explain or apologise for their
conduct. This motion gave rise to a discussion of three
hours' duration, in the course of which it appeared that Mr.
Harney, one of the impeached " members," who was also
secretary to the Democratic Association, had at a late pri-
vate meeting of that body suddenly pulled a dagger from his
bosom, and brandishing it before him declaring his readiness
to employ it for the liberation of his afflicted country. The
truth of this imputation Harney refused to deny. Several
speakers condemned in strong language the employment of
such means for the promotion of the popular cause. Mr. M.
Fletcher said that he had never been the advocate of violence,
and had never recommended the people to arm till he saw
them secretly providing themselves with daggers and such
like dastardly weapons—the arms only of the base and
treacherous assasin. (Cheers.) Then, at last, he advised
them to exercise one of their dearest constitutional rights,
and to provide themselves with weapons fit for men and Eng-
lishmen to use in fair and honourable warfare against all foes,
foreign or domestic. (Loud cheering.) Others defended the
accused members. Mr. Harney retorted the charge of em-
ploying inflammatory language, against Whittle, by saying
that the latter had at his election expressed his hope to see
the heads of the ministers yet dangling over Temple-bar;
and advised the people to arm with daggers and muskets.
The three impeached members, Harney, Ryder and Marsden,
having been called on for an apology or disclaimer against
the democratic resolutions, and having jointly and severally
refused to comply, the vote of censure passed by a majority
of 15 to 10. Notice was then given of a motion for Thurs-
day to expel them from the convention. Next there came
on a motion by Richardson to impeach certain members of
being engaged in a conspiracy against the convention, which
the latter refused to entertain.

MISCELLANEOUS.

The accounts from the pastoral districts state that th e
lambing season progresses satisfactorily to farmers and pro-
prietors of flocks on the northern moors and mountains.

LADY HEWLEY'S CHARITY.—The appeal is appointed
for a hearing in the lords on Monday the Bth of April. The
house then to proceed, and go on, day by day, until it gives
judgment on the appeal.
A letter from Manheim states that the works on the rail-
road between that town and Heidelberg, are goingf on with
the utmost activity, and that there is every hope of its being
finished in the course of the present year.
Lord Henley, brother-in-law to Sir Robt. Peel, is recover-
ing from his long and severe illness, brought on by a paralytic
attack. The noble lord is now able to attend to his official
duties as one of the masters in chancery.
The port of Newcastle General Shipping Company have
at present six fine vessels in the Tyne, preparing for foreign
voyages. The number of vessels already belonging to the
company is ten, of the value of £34,000, exclusively of three
which are contracted for.
NORTH DEVON ELECTION. Sir William Molesworth
has addressed a letter to one of his principal tenants in North
Devon, in which he states it to. be his duty, as a reformer,
" not to vote for Mr. Buller, unless he declares himself in
favour of the ballot, and of an amendment of the reform
bill."

A letter, with the following address, was sent by a woman
at Newent, to her daughter at the forest of Dean :--" To one
Nancy Finding, as wos when a wos singul but noo a his mar-
red to a man in the colepits an live at the Hold Baily Hill."
—Worcester Journal.
The most severe and unseasonable weather prevails at this
moment throughout this district. After a succession of
several fine days, an unfavonrable change took place on
Monday last, which has been daily followed by severe frosts!
heavy drifts of snow, and piercing winds from the north and
north-east.—Western Luminary.
The Countess of Norbury and her sorrowing family took
their departure from Ireland on Friday—driven by murderers
from their native home—and never to return. This is one
of the practical effects of a hellish conspiracy, deadly in its
conception, as it is universal in its ramifications.—Dublin
Evening

FEMALE FASHIONS.—In the female fashions for March,
changeable silks are entirely exploded in every department of
the toilet, but striped ones are in great request, particularly
those striped in different shades of the same colour. Blue,
green, red, and grey, seem to be the hues in most request for
these dresses. Black, however, during Lent, seems more in
favour in all parts of the toilet than last month.
It appears that Papineau has not been,,and he will not be,
permitted to proceed from Havre to Paris, until furnished
with a passport from the British ambassador. Applications
have been made to Lord Granville for a passport for him ;
but the noble earl is said to have refused compliance until in-
structed from home.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY.—There has
been a decided improvement in the market to-day ' • the de-
mand for flannels has been better, and more pieces have been
sold than on any previous Monday for some weeks back.—
Prices, however, have undergone little or no change.—The
wool market has been brisker, and the manufacturers have
bought more freely ; prices remain firm.

OSTRICH HUNT.—The neighbourhoods of Whipsnade,
Kensworth, and Caddington, were enlivened on Friday last by
the appearance of a fine ostrich stalking across the country at
full speed, with a numerous field of eager pursuers at his tail,
to whom the noble bird afforded considerable sport and won-
derment, topping all the fences in its course, at easy flying
leaps, until he was at lengh captured at Caddington, after
flooring the first man who handled him. He was immediately
secured with ropes, and carried to Mr. Stokes's, on Caddink
ton-green, and in the course of the day a servant of Mr. J. IL
Lawes, of Rothamstead, Herts, arrived and claimed the bird
as his master's property,:from whose premises it had strayed.
—Hertford paper.

WHAT WILL THEY SAY AT COCICERMOUTH ?—The pert
and prating member for Cockermouth, it is said, has written
to the clique to prepare the way for such a change in the 1-
presentation of Edinburgh as will have the effect of substi-
tuting this zealous friend of the church for the venerable
Mr. Speaker Abercromby, who is to be pitchforked into the
House of Lords. The truth appears to be, that the wings
are putting their house in order preparatory to a total evacu-
ations& Downing-street, and the Speaker must be transferred
to the peerage without delay. Hence the cause of the.ru•
moured change.—Edinburgh Evening Post.
MORTALITY IN LlMA.—According to Dr. Smith, in his
work entitled Peru as it is, the deaths in Lima, in a popula-
tion of 45,000, are annually about 2,700, or one individual of
every seventeen. In England, fifty years ago, the mortality
was one in forty ; but, by improved police and medical prac-
tice, has been latterly reduced to one in fifty-eight, or less
than one-third of the mortality prevailing in Lima.
NATIONAL EDUCATION.—The national schools in the
diocese of Bath and Wells have been ordered to change their
names to that of " Schools of the National Society for Edu-
cating the Children of the Poor in the Principles of the
Church of England," and a series of books for the general
instruction, of the pupils, founded on the orders of the com-
mittee of education of the diocesan school society, have been
decided upon.—Bath Gazette.

DEATH OF JUDITH GRISI.—Last week 2\-C 7 ma was to be
per formed at the Odeon, in Paris, when the playbill was sud-
denly altered, and La Sonnambula was announced instead.
The cause was neither an indisposition nor a caprice, but the
death of Giulia Grisi's sister, poor Judith, who sang with so
much feeling and expression in La Staniera, and enacted
Bellini's Romeo as it has never been played since. Judith
Grisi died at Rome.

THE BRITISH MUSEUM.—By the annual account laid be-
fore parliament, it appears that the income of the British
Museum during the past year (including parliamentary grants)
amounted to £33,447 125., and the expenditure to £30,808
13s. 9d. The estimated expenditure for the present year is
£32,390. It appears, from this return, that the number of
visitors who have been admitted to visit the British Museum
during the year 1838, as compared with the three previous
years, has considerably diminished. In 1837 the number of
visitors admitted to view the general collections in the mu-
seum, amounted to 321,151; in 1838 to 266,008. The nunc.
ber of visits to the reading-rooms, for the purpose of study
and research, was 69,936 in 1837, and only 54,843 in 1838.
The number of visits by artists and students to the galleries
of sculpture, for the purpose of study, was 5570 in 1837, and
5015 in 1838. The reading room was closed for a short pe-
riod last September, which may partly account for the falling
off in the number of visitors.
WHEAT LAND.—The average rent of wheat land in Eng-
land is, per acre, XI. 2s. 6d.—The average produce is three
quarters, per acre, on such soils : and three quarters of wheat
will make 358-i quartern loaves. When the quartern loaf
sold at gid., wheat was, £47. lid. per quarter : therefore, the
wheat was equal to £7. 3s. 9d., and the loaves equal to
£l2. 155.; and, therefore, if the whole of the rent was re-
duced, it would only effect a saving to the consumer of three
farthings per loaf.
INLAND BONDED PORTS.—Exeter and Birmingham hav-
ing been appointed ports for foreign bonded goods, it is in
contemplation immediately, to form a chamber of commerce
for Worcester, and to apply to the lords of the treasury for
an order making this city a bonded port. —Worcester
Journal.
A small steamer, intended to ply on the lake of Brienz,
was brought on the 28th ult. from the lake of Geneva, on
which it was built by an English gentleman, in a vehicle
drawn by twenty-six horses, and accompanied by a numerous
crowd anxious to witness this " sailing on dry land."
At Teversal, near Mansfield, on Monday, an old man died
in his 95th year ; he was a farmer, named George Reynolds,
and was Appointed parish clerk in 1764, the duties of which
office he performed for upwards of 70 years, and to the week
before his death attended to his farm.—Sheffield Chronicle.
On Wednesday morning week, Ramsden, the walking post-
man to Billericay, was found dead on his route. On Sunday
morning last Henniker, who was appointed to do his duty,
dropped down in a fit as he was bringing in the letters and
shortly,after expired.—Chelmsford Chronicle.

HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, MARCH 12,—This market was
equally animated as last week's ; in fact, a fair average busi-
ness is doing in most descriptions of goods, especially in
fancy woollens and waistcoatings. The demand for plain
broads and narrows is on the increase at better prices. A
careless observer would infer, from an apparent dulness in the
hall, that little business was doing, but when the small stocks
are seen, associated with the general employment of the oper-
atives, a different impression is induced. Indeed the great
mass of business is nuw done to order. Hence the activity in
the warehouses. Wools remain tolerably steady, rather
inclined to advance.
MURDER OF A POACHER BY A GAMEKEEPER.—At Os'
ford assizes, Joseph Chapman, Lord Dillon's gamekeeper
was tried for the murder of James Trottman, a poacher
whom he met on the night of the 15th June last in his lord-
ship's woods. The prisoner had formerly been a poacher
himself, and was well acquainted with Trottman, and had had
several conversations with him on the night in question, when
the deceased declared that he intended to shoot rabits, and
that if one came in sight he would fire at it. Some angry
words followed, and Chapman stepped back a pace or two
and fired at Trottman, who fell mortally wounded. The jury
found the prisoner guilty of murder. When the verdict was
announced, a shout of triumph was raised by the people in
the body of the court. The judge passed sentence of death
on the prisoner.

LORD FRANCIS EGERTON, M.P.—We understand that his
lordship continues to improve in health, and is quite free from
pain ; but such has been the violence of his recent attack of
gout that he is unable to stand. The noble lord and his lad)"
and family intended to have gone yesterday to Oatlands, Sur-
rey, for the benefit of a change of air; but owing to the con-
tinued weakness of his lordship's feet and legs, it has been
deemed advisable to remain in town a few days longer. HIS
lordship had expressed his anxious desire to have been present
at several of the recent parliamentary divisions, but as the
cause of his lordship's absence is generally known to his
friends, there needs no further explanation of the omission
of his name in the lists of divisions.—Morning Herald.
ANGLESEY CORONERSHIP.—The election for the coroner'
ship, after a long-protracted contest, terminated on Satin'
day evening, in favour of Mr. Jones, the numbers being
For Mr. Jones, 997 ; for Mr. Dew, 994. Mr. Jones had
144 vorers unpolled in the town of Beaumaris, besides
great number in the county. Mr. Dew had not a dozen
unpolled. Mr. Bodvan Griffith, the agent for the successful
candidate, was hoisted in a chair, and carried by the multi-
tude, in defiance of his remonstrances, from the Hall to the
Liverpool Arms Inn, from the balcony of which he addressed
the electors on behalf of Mr. Jones as. allows :—Freeholders
of the county of Anglesey, you have nobly done your duty,
you have proved to the open world that you are not to be
coerced either by the four Bulls or their was
; we were
told here on the day of nomination that it was madness 00
the part of Mr. Jones to go against such powerful opposition'
but it has turned out to be the right sort of madness. Inde-
pendent electors, this is a grand conservative victory —l°u,
votes recorded at this election will be a lesson to the foul(
Bulls, that they are not to trample upon the independence of
this island, and why should they? You have paved the way
for the next county election, come when it may.—North
Wales Chronicle.

THE GREAT WESTERN STEAM-SHIP. A half-yearly
general meeting of the proprietors of the Great Western
steam-ship was held in Prince's-street, Bristol, last week,;
The report stated that the company's first ship had disprove'
all. unfavourable auguries, and promptly rewarded the enter"
prise of the projectors. It was impossible to speak too
highly of the qualities of the Great Western steam-ship'
After having run 35,000 nautical miles, and encountered 3"
days of heavy gales, her seams required no caulking, and
when she was docked she did not show a wrinkle in l'er
c
copper. The average of her passages out was fifteen days
and a half, and home thirteen days ; the shortest passage '?t,
was fourteen days and a half, and the shortest home twel;"
and a quarter. Aboat 1,000 passengers had gone in the sh.W.:
After alluding to the great expense necessary to combinespeed, security, and enjoyment, it was expressed a hope that'
through the liberality of the American congress, the duty e;
2d per bushel on coals would he given up, and thus a savin.,
of nearly £lOOO. a-year would be effected. The company
have decided on constructing the next vessel of iron, e
which the preparations are far advanced. It appeared front
the statement of accounts that, after paying £2,000. force,
ditions to the ship and insurance to October next, £l,a
for goods damaged in the hurricanes in October last, n.
upwards of £2OOO. being set apart for a reserve fund, there
remained from the profits sufficient for a dividend of five per
cent., making, with a former one of four per cent., nine Per
cent., for the year. The report was unanimously adopted.
_
The result of the meeting gave universal satisfaction to the
proprietors.

and Mr. Pillsbury were not connected with the land agent's
expedition, but were in that vicinity attending to their own

THE BOUNDARY TROUBLES. _

We received yesterday morning from an official source the
information that the original trespassers on the disputed ter-
ritory were labourers employed by Shepherd Cary, repre-
sentative in the Legislature of Maine from Houlton, and a
Mr. Purley ; the former resides in Maine, but has his store
in New Brunswick. They are lumber merchants, and the
whole affair originates in their desire to make money regard-
less of treaties and laws.

The Eastern mail last night brought the following letter
from Sir John Harvey to Governor Fairfield :

"Government House, Frederiekton, New-Brunswick,
Feb. 13, 1838.

" Sir,—l have just heard with the utmost surprise and re-
gret, that, without the courtesy of any intimation whatever
to this Government, an armed force from the state of Maine
has entered the territory, the claim to which is in dispute be-
twixt Great Britain and the United States, and which it has
been agreed, betwixt the two General Governments, shall
remain in the exclusive possession and jurisdiction of Eng-
land, until the claim be determined.

"it has been my duty, on more than one occasion, to ap-
prize the Executive Government of Maine, that my instruc-
tions do not permit me to suffer any interference with that
possession and jurisdiction, until the question of right shall
have been finally decided, in discussion between the two Ge-
neral Governments.

" With the knowledge of these instructions thus explicitly
made known, I cannot but repeat the expression of the deep
regret which I feel, that, instead of seeking their recall or
modification through the Presidential Government, the state
of Maine should thus have forced upon a subordinate officer
the alternative of either failing in his duty by abstaining from
the fulfilment of the command of his sovereign, or, by acting
up to them, placing the two countries in a state of border
collision, if not the two nations in inveterate and active hos-
tility.
" Such, nevertheless, is the position in which I find my-
self placed by this overt act on the part of the state of Maine,
one from which I do not hesitate in entreating your Excel-
lency to relieve me, by ordering the immediate recall of a
force whose presence within the precincts of the territory as
claimed by England, it is contrary to my instructions to per-
mit, and it is proper that I should acquaint your Excellency
that I have directed a strong force of her Majesty's troops to
be in readiness to support her Majesty's authority, and to
protect her Majesty's subjects in the disputed territory, in
the event of this request not being immediately complied with.
" With regard to any plea for these proceedings on the part
of the state of Maine, connected with timber spoliations in
that territory, I have to inform your Excellency that I have
given directions for a boom to be placed across the mouth of
the Aroostook, where the seizing officer, protected by a suffi-
cient guard, will be able to prevent the passige of any timber
into the St. John in the spring, or to seize it, and expose it to
public sale for the benefit of the Disputed Territory Fund.'

" Similar precautions willbe adopted in regard to any tim-
ber cut upon the Upper St. John, or the tributary streams
falling into it.
" Anxiously awaiting your Excellency's reply to this com-
munication, _ _ _

I have the honour to be,
" Your Excellency's
" Most obedient humble servant,
" J. HARVEY."

On the reeeipt of this, Governor Fairfield sent a second
message to the Maine Legislature, in which he went over the
whole ground again, the particulars of which we have already
stated. _ .

Five of the trespassers taken by the Aroostook expedition,
arrived at Bangor on Monday forenoon.
Maine has passed a resolution appropriatiug 800,000 dols.
to the support of 10,000 men, which she is now calling into
the field, and calls on Massachusetts to join in the expense.
Governor Everett accordingly has addressed a message-to
the Legislature of Massachusetts, asserting that the juris-
diction of the land in question belongs to Maine and the
United States, and representing the readiness of Massa-
chusetts, Weaned upon, to defend the Maine. The message
was referred to a select committee.

(From the New York Morning Herald of Feb. 25)
N. E. BOUNDARY TROUBLES.

The mails yesterday brought nothing more of importance
from the expected seat of war. Drums are beating, troops
are marching, flags are flying, men are drinking, and but few
are thinking in and about the neighbourhood of the N. E.
Boundary Line. Mr. Van Buren has now the whole matter
before him. He would like to have a war, to divert public
attention from his own miserable misconduct ; but the good
sense of Congress and the nation will step in to prevent this;
and before the Liverpool steamer returns to Europe, we hope
to see every belligerent appearance about the N. E. Boun-
dary Line banished, to return no more.
