On Thursday morning, they proceeded to

the number of which, we understand, consid-
eFably exceeds fue hundred, thus making
the whole number of memorials filed more
than Sirteen Hundred. The examination of
the new memorials will probably occupy the
Board for three weeks or month !: whether
they will enter upon any other division Of
their labors at the expiration of that time,
or allow further time to the claimants, by
adjournment to some future day, is moi yet
known. We apprehend, however. that, as
the mere reception OF rejection of memorials

very soon to shut the door against oil pro-
