The Far Trade.-Since the abolition of the Uni.
ted States actories great activity has prevailed
In the operation OF this trade. Those formerly en-.
gagged in it have increased their capital and extended
their enterprise many new firms have engaged in
IT. and others are preparing to do So 1t is conpu-
ted that Thousand meI chiefly from this place. are
now employed in this trade on the waters of the
Missouri, and half that number on the Upper Mis-
sssippi. The Missouri Fur Company, which alone
employs upwards of 500 men, have reached The
mountains, and will soon be on The Columbia river
Others have The same destination, so that the rich
turs OF that region will cease to be the exclu-
sve property of the Hudson Bay Company. Be
sides furs, the Rocky Mountains may produce
something else to reward the enterprise of those who
penetrate their recesses. They are a continuation
oil the Andes which stretch through South America
and Mexico, and abound wherever they are search
ed with various minerals, precious stones, and gold
and silver. The Rocky Mountains we're called the
ohlnlnS Mountains, by all the early travellers, from
their giittering appearance in the sun, occasoned
by the peculiar brilliancy of the many stones which
are found upon them. A hunter pursuing his game
found the silver mines of Potosi, and many others
nave been discovered by the like accidents and there
IS no reason to suppose that other valuable discoye
ries may not yet be made.

n melancholy occurrence.-On Friday forenoon,
Mahlon Koon. - Brown, & VIM Fryer, the lat.
ter accompanied by his sister. Mrs Mary Conkiu,
lett CatskIll in sail boat for Red Hook. They
were all young and inexperienced; the wind was
gusly and they had not proceeded above half the
distance when the boat capsized and sunk Koon
SWAIN alone to The west shore and was taken into
a vessel bound up. At the earnest solicitation Of
Brown and her brother, Mary threw an arm across
each OF them, and supporting her in this way, they
all attempted TO gain the east shore. A long time
they resisted high and dashing surf; until finding
themselves exhausted and sinking, Mary begged Of
them to leave her to her fate and save themselves.
Reluctantly they did it and the unfortunate woman
found watery grave. She was Is years OF age;
had been married about year and in about aweek
expected the return of her husband from voyage
at sea. Her remains have not been discovered

Spontaneous Combustion.-On Friday afternoon
the Barn OF Mr.. George Shute, of Maiden, contain
ing ten tons of hay. all his farming utensils and
chase, was consumedb by fire. Mr.. S. with another
man, was al work in field, near the barn, when the
hire burst out but nothing could be done to save it,
This IS another instance of spontaneous combustion
proceeding probably from the too green or damp
state OF the hay, it is almost certain there had
been no tire conveyed to the barn. by any direct or
accidental means. NJ T.. Farmer

petroleum. and the leaves of the trees for ccnsd
cradle distance round are also encrusted with

which they have received from its waters, believe
it equally as eficaclous as the Saratoga water.

Of this state Major Gordon, was reported, by the
committee appointed by the legislature TO inyes-
tigate his accounts to be defaulter to large A.

from office, and his property all seized by the

ton State Bank, Mr.. l. Rickey, has, in presence
Of several other gentleman, investigated his &C
counts, and il appears by the result of his inves

public defauter, has actually paid to his success

the choice OF President there were several
candidates for the secretaryship, but on the Sec
ond trial Mr.. SEwAtL, hal large plurality. Al
ter Mr. AMEs IN the character ofoiIiciating Gov
ernor, had qualified the Senate, he addressed 10
them a few remarks explanatory of the course
he dccpcd proper 10 pursue, III present circum-
stances he said that by his construction OF the
constitution, his Office ofSpeaker ofthe late house
of representatives expired OH the commencement
of Wednesday, and consequently that all the du-
ties which deyolyed on him as speaker ended with

not BY any clause of the constitution, but BY the
necessity Of the case, which necessity would ter

Scuate. He said lie should therefore retire 10 the
Council Chamber and wait until lac Was notified
of the election of President of the Senate and
should then take las seat in the House, of which
he was a member, and leave the President of the
Senate to perform the remaining duties Of Gov
crnor until one should be declared chosen by the
people.
The course thus marked out was pursued, and
the Representatives were qualified by Mr.'RosE
Notwithstanding considerable excitement ex-
isted relative to the Speaker the choice was ef-
fected at the first trial the Clerk was elected

ISae members of both branches were very
pnnctual in their attendance, in the Senate every
fncuber chosen was present and in the House
there were but few absent, as will be seen by
the result of votes for Speaker. The vacancies
IN the Senate were filed by convection of both
houses yesterday afternoon. Mr.. SEAvER was.

POSTAGE.
A writer in the National Inteligencer of Sa-

OF the newspaper postage is collected. From
his alledged familiarity with the accounts of the
general-post Office, his surmise is probably well
founded, and argues an abuse of such consider
able extent, as requires immediate correction.
