IN their CO. ,sequsnces, they are injurious and

which has been manifested by the general go

ius. and natural RIGHTS which belong to them
by the we'll established principles of national

That however highly we value the blessings

hir. Gaolson from the committee of claims
to whom was referred resolution directing
that committee to inquire into the expedien-
cy of repeating the several statutes OF limita-
tons, made a report, concluding with re-
solution declaring that it is inexpedient to
suspend or repeal the said statutes. The re-
port was referred to committee of the
whole house.
The house took up the resolution offered
heretofore by Mr.. Poindexter, for the appoint
ment of committee to enquire into the Off
cial cond uct of Harry Toulmin, Judge of the
Mississippi Territory.
After a short discussion Mr.. P. withdrew
the resolution, and moved that the present
ment of the Grand Jury against Judge Toul
min, and other documents relative to his con-
duct, be referred to select committee of 7.
Agreed to.
On motion of Mr.. Rassett, the house went
into committee Of the whole, MIR. Lewis

appointed to prepare standing rules for the
government Of the house. Tue discussion OF

DIED, few weeks ago, in Fairfax county,
Virginia, Mr.. WILLIAM Fowler. Few men
possessed more strong or more penetrating
mind. Those who knew him, were in times
of difficulty accustomed to look up to his
Judgment with reverence and cling to it as
the ship-wrecked mariner clings to the i'm
movable rock while pillows rage around
He has paid the debt which successive gene
ratjons have paid and all living must pay
Perhaps, however, he has not sunk into the
black horrors of the abyss of humiliation !;
but is only removed from the cares of this
world to that happy shore, to which we all
anxiously look, as the needle still trembles to
the north, where the immortal spirit drops
her frailties forever and flaps her brilliant
wings in eternal glory.

to the ealamai;ies with which we are threat
ene.t TO be oyercya, that is, Liceaces it is
simple, e:s.icaeious, aud seems the more
admissible, having beea already adopted
ill France. Government might grant to
all merchants in Russia, at their request,
Iicsaees to import permitted merchandise
in neutral vessels, according to the tariff
er 10Th Dec. 1910. The neutrality Of
ships might be proved by only showing
the act of property; the merchandise i'm
pcrted by favor of license, shculd not be
liable to any Otliet examination of paper
er,loeumeat, either Of its owner or origin,
with regard 30 the local distance; blanks
ought 10 be left in the licenses for the
nane OF the captain, the vessel, and the
flag.
{. Whoever demands license, should
bind himself to export in Russia produce
alone, the amount Of merchandise import
ed by the same license. Whoever does not
make use of licenses, continues in the in
tesrity oil the existing law. The adyan-
tages resulting from such measure CT en-
tering into enterprises, not venturinS to
do it from fear of losing their property
by the propagation of a system OF cOn;is-
cation, viii iind in licenses a security and
encouragement for following branch Of
trade, from which at present they arc ex-
cIuded by existing circumstances. Foreign
merchandiss will arrive boldly, and the
pr;ce will be lowered by the considerable
di,ninution of freight and insurance, which
will he one Of the Immediate consequences.
The manufacture aad fabrics OF the coun-
try will be nourished and encouraged by
the facility OF procuring, at a reasonable
,,rice, their necessary wants OF which
they are threatened TO be entirely depriy-
ed by tie actual situation OF thinSs.-lt
Is ONLY by this measure that the homely
commodities will find sure opening by
the return OF ships arrived with licenses,
aad which without them, would never have
come into OK ports.
:. knowing how much your EXceliency
has at heart all which interests general
welfare, and the advantages OF trade, we
venture to request you to do us the favor
of laying before the throne our most re-
speetful request, that his Imperial AajeS,
ty would deign to grant TO his faithful
merchants, licenses according to the above
mentioned principles, and in as short a
time as possible, as the season is SO mucn
advanced, thasthis measure can only De oil
use if it is quick and peremptory. In sup
porting our request with your VISIONS
