The President went up the North River, and passed round
the North Carolina line of battle ship, in beautiful style. The
sailors mounted the rigging, and gave her several cheers on
each side. The President saluted her. and the battery at
Castle Garden returned the salute. The President is the
largest steam-ship in the world, and eclipsed the North Ca-
rolina.

We subjoin the following deserved tribute from the pas-

rs to Captain Fayrer

ro LIEUTENANT It. I. FAYRER, R.N., COMMANDER OF
THE STEAM-SHIP PRESIDENT,'
SlR,—After so delightful and prosperous a voyage across
ktlantic, the undersigned, passengers of the President,
' -4: it is due to themselves, as well as you, to express
sentiments of satisfaction in the ship and regard for her
commander, hope you will not consider that in so doing they
are influenced so much by customs which prevail on such oc-
casions. as by a sincere desire to make known to you the real

Ii is a source of no small satisfaction to us that we have

m-ship in the world, in every respect, and we rejoice that
success has been complete.
By the ability, fidelity, and skill in the management of
ship—the urbanity and kindness—the desire to increase
comfort—which you and your officers have continually
,ave merited our warmest thanks; and it is
e that prosperity may always attend you in

THE NORTH-EASTERN BOUNDARY

The Woodstock Times expresses deep indignation at the
purpose of the marshal of Maine, Colonel Parks, to make
an enumeration of the people of Madawaska for the United
States census. It is stated, on the authority of a letter dated
the sth inst., that the marshal had arrived at the foot of Fish
River, accompanied by Mr. Haines, editor of the Bangor
Herald, and had actually commenced operations on that
morning. The Times thinks that the representatives of the
British Government will not tamely look on and " suffer
such an audacious violation of existing arrangements to pass
without being noticed in a manner becoming the usual
Promptitude of Sir
_John Harvey;_ nor yet to suffer those

participating in such a flagrant violation of the laws of na-
tions to escape with impunity."
The same paper gives the following information of the
lovements of the engineers from England, who came out
Britannia for .the purpose of completing the survey,
nich was left unfinished last season :
" Captain Broughton, R.E., Mr. Featherstonehaugh, jun.,

and M. Whightman, with a surveying party, arrived here
last evening from head-quarters. After remaining a short
time they proceeded en route to the disputed territory. We
understand they will commence operations in the neigh-
bourhood of the Grand Falls, thence they will proceed to
Lake Metis, and thence to Quebec. From Quebec they will
proceed to the S.W., and will in all probability fall in with
the American party that have proceeded to the Kennebec."

An unpleasant report has reached us that a few days ago,
as the American steam-boat Chesapeake was returning from
Chippewa to Buffalo, some men of the coloured company
commanded by Captain Macdonald, stationed at Fort Erie,
fired several rounds of musquetry at her. We understand
that the commandant of the garrison at Buffalo has com-
municated on the subject with his excellency Sir George
Arth

in which tit:e there can be no doubt of the matter
undergoing investigation, and that the offenders will be
visited with such punishment as, upon conviction, the nature
and extent of the crime may call forth.— Toronto Colonist.
