NEw-HAvEN, June 5.
On Wednesday the Convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church of the Dio.
cess Of Connecticut, met in this city
and Oh Thursday morning, the Right Rev.
Bishop Hobart, delivered a very appro-
PIRATE aud impressive charge TO the Con-
vention, on the distinctive principles OF
the Church, and the true character OF
Churchmen. During the session, the Rev.
Thomas C. Brownell. one of the assistant
ministers of Trinity Church, N. York,
was elected to the episcopate OF the do
cess, by the unanimous suffrages OF the
clergy and laity. The convention was
uncommonly full--and we are happy to
add, that the venerable DR.. Mansfield,
Rector Of the Church at Derby, who has
arrived to his 9th year, was able to attend,
and to preside in the house of clerical del
egates, when the above election was made.
NEw-YoRK, June Z.
One Of the crew Of the brig Holker, a
muIatto man, named Oliver King, was
arrested 10 this city ON Saturday and ex-
amined at the police office, as to the MUIR
der of the captain. mate, and a passenger,
which our readers will recollect took
place while that vessel was OIL the voyage
from Curacao to this port. He denied
that he had any agency in. the horrid
transaction; but was committed to prison
on charge Of felony.

1t appears that the mutiny occurred
five days after the Holker sailed from
Curacao, 10 the evening. The mate who
was on deck, it being his watch, was first
killed they next called up and despatch
ed Capt. Brown, and Cant. Humphreys,
the passenger, was murdered 10 the cabin,
and the bodies thrown overheard They
then bored hole through the Holker for
the purpose Of scuttIing her, but vessel
heaving in sight, they precipitately took
to the boat, and abandoned her, without
knowing whether she sunk.
The object of the crew does not appear
to have been plumber alone, but revenge,
as two OF them had run away while at
Curacao, and were probably exasperated
on being arrested and forced ack.-Only
one hundred dollars in money was found
on board the Holker.-Mer. AdU.

From the Savannah Republican.
NATIONAL DOMAINS.

From fair estimation which we have
seen made, there appears to be 100000,
900 acres Of land, admitting of cultivation,
belonging to the people of the United
States. This immense tract of land, esti-
mated at two dollars per acre, produces
5000, 100000, sum which is more than
thirty times the amount of the public debt
of the United States, and would discharge
more than the whole national debt of
England. If we have a public debt,
therefore, We have public resources, TO-
dependent of taxation and the ordinary
revenue, whereby this debt can be re-
imbursed, without scarcely diminishing
the resources. The whole population Of
the United States, at this time, will not
fall much short of eleven millions Of
which number the male adults might be
estimated at about two miIlious-so that,
was this immense tract OF land divided
amongst our citizens, it would furnish to
each person of this description, farm
of eight hundred acres of land. Let not
these views be esteemed as visionary.
There is actually this quantity Of land
which belongs to the people Of the United
States, when the Indian title is COM
pletely extiuguished, all of which lies
within the northern temperate zone, and
has a healthy and admirable climate, and
is intersected and watered by some Of
the noblest rivers in the world, affording
the most extensive alluvial tracts and
every description aud variety of surface
aud of soil, which invites the residence
of man, and promises, as reward to
agricultural industry, every production
which can contribute to the subsistence,
the comforts and the happiness of life.
Those who consider what were the limits
Of our frontier settlements thirty years
ago, and the immense forests and wilder

ness, which, within this period, aud with
"a population not more than two or three
millions, have yielded to the enterprise
and industry of our citizens. and now
become the seats of civilization, Of wealth
and of social happiness, will not be in
creduIous in believing that the time is nos
very distant, when this immense country
will contain population equal to its fer@
tilily and extent. And although this
country is vastly more fertile than Eu-
rope, it will furnish room and means OF
subsistence for four hundred millions Of
souls. Let Russia boast of her extensive
snow clad wilds, and England of her inn
mense East-India colonies, wrested by
the strong arm of power from the lawful
possessor-yet the extensive and fertile
regions of the 6 western country" will
be the pride aud glory of every friend of
liberty, and every true hearted Amerf-
can.
