bly, to speak, he declared it was accept
ed.--Ihe decision excited the most
lively sensations among the party OPP
posed to the address. Instead of an
swering them, the Sheriff declared the
meeting dissolved, without taking the
usual motion for adjournment, and inn
medlately quilted the chair. At this
moment, OH molten of Mr.. O'Connel,
(recently appointed the Queens Attor-
ney General the Assembly called

Sheriff protested against this proceed
ing, but the noble Lord took the chair.
The Sheriff then told them he should
call on the military to enforce his or.
ders to dissol,e the meeting. Lord G.
answered. that force alone would com.

most unanimous voice of the large as

Police were directed to dispense the

The Sheriff then called in the military

The territory now ceded to the United
States, is about 400 miles lsng by $40 broad
at its widest pal.. Part Of it forms large
tongue Of land projecting into the Atlantic,
and extending to within $50 miles Of the
island Of Cuba. Its interior boundaries are
on the States of Georgia and Alabama. The
population isnot supposed to exceed 10000,
besides wandering lndiass. St. Augustine
Pensacola and St. Marks, are the 8 largest

seamen TO be one Of the safest in the world ;

PrRILOUS ENCOUNTER WITH SHARK.
From Mr.. Cesar we receive an account of
the following extraordinary occurrence, the
truth of which be solemnly assures US Of;
and to the lovers of natural history it will
doubtless be acceptable. Mr.. L. has farm
at the long reef, about ten miles north OF
the heads of this harbor. it having la
COON within one hundred yards of the sea
beach, as large as Sydney Cove, about a
mile round it. The banks OF this lagoon,
though several feet above the high water le-
vel at spring tides, is forced into commu-
nication with the sea on heavy falls of rain,
as 1t is supplied with fresh water from RI
vulet which quickly overHows with rapid
stream sufficient to force away the embank-
ment Of the lagoon, which is sandy. The
depth OF water in the lagoon, which is al.
ways more or less salt; never exceeds six or
seven feet IN the deepest parts, and is some
times one TO two thirds dried up on the
margin, Which reduces the centre to mere
pool. At time within the present twelve
month, when the sea and the lagoon had
become united, as above remarked upon,
fine water dog was observed 10 dash into
the water, at an erect moving spire, which
had the appearance Of sharks back fin.
and he was soon perceived TO be engaged
with this voracous fish; the shark predomi-
nant in his own element, seized The dog by
the nose, and disappeared with him for
minute. This rencontre was in three feet
and half water; and the master of the dog,
overseer to MIR. Cesar, having then long
fowling piece in his hand, went to the dogs
assistance, and, striking with the butt of
the piece, had furious battle with the shark
(Which was about FIVE feet long) for some
minutes; when the stock flying, he conti-
nued his engagement with the barrel, the
shark maintaining his ground with vigor.
and BY accidental change of position. inter-
cepting the mans retreat. The courage Of
the dog was useless from his wound, and to
60 into deeper water would have been
doubtless fatal. Another man, the overseer's
assistant on the farm, happened fortunate
ly TO arrive at this critical instant, and he
roically went with stick to the assistance
Of his distressed associate; and as the shark
had'turned TO bite at him, he pushed the
stick vigorously down bis throat, and was
himself thrown upon bis back by the supe-
rior strength of his adversary. which then
made of into the deeper water, yieldingup
the triumph TO the victor, whose courage
We cannot sufficiently applaud. The same
dog had, previously to the above, taken out
Of Mr.. Ramsay's LOGON, which is very spa
cious,a large stinger-ray, which he dragged
ashore without receiving the slightest hurt.

on the subject.
The bill having been twice read, Mr..
Baldwin moved 10 refer tito committee
Of the whole on the state Of the union.
Mr.. Smith, Of Maryland, opposed this
course, as giving it preference over
/. ordinary business. Mr.. Baldwin replied,
That the same direction had been given,
at this session, to several bills, that for
the reduction Of the army, &c. not more
important than this. The motion Of Mr..
Baldwin prevailed, by vote of 65 TO 81.
The ordinary number Of copies OF the
bill and report were ordered to be printed
for the use Of the house.
Mr.. Baldwin also reported bill lay
ing duties Oh sales Of merchandise at Auc-

Of calling for more and more until it I'M
