ting here from the surface is rs feet
inches Near this there is to be a
bridge from which, when this great
work shall be completed, the eye can
wander and behold the vast products OF
the country bordering on the Susque-
hanna, winding its course to ready
market, whilst the astonished specta-
tor shall be ready to acknowledge the
power Of man when blended with art
and enterprise. The width Of the ca
nal on the bottom is Sc feet, and at the
surface of the water, which will be 10
feet above the bottom, sc feet, being

Shane was a man Of character, and has
been the un form friend of the United
States. He was at the Tha at the
time of the battle, and had been init
mately acquainted with Tecumsch
from early childhood. L inquired of
him what he knew of the death Of Te.
cumseb. He told me that immediate.
ly after the battle of the Thames was
ended he went to the spot where seve-
raj of the men had seen Col. Johnson
kill an Indian commander, and there
he saw Tecumseh lie dead upon the
ground; that he examined his body and
observed that he must have been killed
by a person on horseback, for ball
and three buck shot were shot into his
breast, and the ball passed through his
body and came out at the lower part OF
the back. While looking at the body,
he was asked if he was certain it was
Tecumseh. Shane told them that he
was certain, that he had known him
from childhood; and that il they would
examine his thigh they would discover
a remarkable scar, occasioned by the
misfortune of Tecumseh's having his
thigh broken many years bcfore;-that
on examining, they found the scar as he
had described. This person, Shane
knew to be Tecumseh, and his body
was found where Col. Johnson had kill.
ed an Indian commander He was
killed by person on horseback; and
Col. Johnson was the only person who
fought on horseback. He was shot
with ball and three buckshot; and
the pistol with which Col. Johnson
shot the Indian was charged with
ball and three buckshot. These cir
cumstances establish the fact beyond
all reasonable doubt, that Tecumseh
was killed by Col. Johnson. 1t is how
ever proper to observe, that the merits
of the Colonel are neither increased nor
diminished, from the circumstance of
its being Tecumseh; and he never
claimed special regard from the mere
name of the person. When | first i'll
quired of him the particulars Of the
transaction, he was diffident to speak
freely concerning it, lest he should
seem to be witness to his own acts
There is remarkable modesty with
Col. Johnson which would rather fore
go all praise, than to become in the
smallest degree, the organ of its echo.
But in the confidence Of familiar friend
ship he related the circumstance pure
ly to crafty my curiosity, and not with
the most distant idea that l should
ever become the medium of its publici-
ty; nor would have been communicated
al this time, but that justice requires
it in order to correct the erroneous i'm.
preston, which publication in SO re-
putable paper as the Waterman is
calculated TO make.
Very respectfully, yours,

.leman stated, that every market in the world,
gave decided preference to English cotton
manufactures, a fact which was established,
| nv the circumstance of the export Of cotton
goods from England, which last year amount
ed to $4,000, 900 sterling; and it was well
known that Englishmen could purchase cotton
Goods cheaper at home than abroad. The
,,oollen trade had always been considered as
the fayorite pet of the country, and had, per-
hans. been, like other favorite children, spoil
ed by indulgence, while its younger brother,
the cotton manufacturer, had made more way
into the world, and certainly with sounder
and better constitution. The prohibitory du-
ties on wool had been as injurious to British
trade, as they had been on silk: they inter
fered with the freedom of commerce in both
articles, and cramped all progress iii their ma
nufacture. He then noticed many other arti
cles in detail, and said, many of these duties
were rather injurious to the Treasury than
otherwise, from the immense expense
necessary to support the coast blockade. The
greater importation would excite the emuia-
ton of domestic manufactures; the remission
of duties in 1876 was proof of all this; for
when the duty on French cloth was repealed,
that article became quite fashionable for a
short time, and then it was superseded by the
use of British manufacture. In their powers
of invention, Improvements, and above all, IN
the application of steam to mechanism, the
English stood superior to the rest OF the
world. He did not then see why we should
fear to compete with any country, or with all
countries. After some discussion the reSolu.
ton was agreed to.

TRIAL FOR MURDER.

At circuit court held at BuffaIoe,
N. Y. week before last, Nelson, Israel,
jr. and Isaac Thayer, all brothers, were
tried for the murder Of John Love,
OH the Goth February last. The pri-
soners plead not guilty. 1t appeared
in evidence, that Love had accompa-
MED the Thayers to the house of Israel
Thayer as a friend, for the avowed pur-
pose of cutting up hogs, that Love had
not been seen afterwards; his body was
afterwa ards found buried six inches
deep near the house of Israel Thsyer;
he had been shot through the head, and
his throat and sides of his face deeply
wounded, as with an axe. The pri-
soners were found in possession Of
Loves horse, notes and parts Of his
clothing; they ultimately produced
power of attorney 10 administer upon
the estate Of Love, alledging that he
had absconded to escape arrest for
some crime. The power Of attorney
was found TO be a forgery. About for
ty witnesses testified to the circum-
stances, and the jury returned verdict
of guilty against all three. The pri-
soners have since confessed the murder:
Isaac shot Love while sitting by the
fire, through the window; Nelson des.
patched him with the axe, and Israel
and Nelson removed the body and bu-
ried it. They are to be executed in
Buffalo on the 18th June next. The
father, Israel Thayer, sen. was imprl-
soned on the same charge, but no evil
dence appeared against him. He was
still detained as an accessory, after the
fact. Bait. Pat

March speaks of the fluctuations in the
stocks, arising from numerous reports
about considerable ornaments in The

the frequent diplomatic meetings at
the apartments of Prince Metternich,
in Paris, in the absence OF the British
Ambassador; the alarms OF England
touching her East India possessions;
the arrival Of the Russian Prince Toll

the rest are of as little real importance.

Extract of letter from the Hon. Thomas ii.
Benton, dated Senate Chamber, February
10, 1926.
"Berween Gen. Jackson and Mr.
Adams, was in favor of the Generals
election, believing that he was prefer
red, ten to one, by the people of Mis-
souri,, and knowing, from an associa-
ton Of two winters with him in the
Senate, that he would expel the British
from the Upper Missouri, and protect
our fur trade; that he would expel
them also from the Columbia River,
and protect our rights and interests
beyond the Rocky Mountains that he
was in favor Of giving US road TO
Mexico, and preventing the Indians
from robbing and numbering our oiti-
zens, while travelling it; that he would
send military post to the crossing Of
the Arkansas, and endeavor TO remove
the boundary line between the United
States and Mexico, back to its old
place, on the dividing ridge, between
the waters Of the Mississippi, and of
the Rio del Norte; also, that he was
in favor of clearing our rivers from all
distractions to their navigation, con-
Meeting them by canals, with the north
ern lakes, and opening an inland COM
munication between the Lower Missis-
sippi, Lake Ponchartrain, the bays Of
Mobile, Pensacola, St. Marks, and "a

Mr.. Ingham's address to his consti-

he did not, when he was penning Mr..

set down and give his constituents the
information he thinks they so much
needed, but which he has delayed until
this late period? On the whole, the
addresses of our Pennsylvania delega-

pico waiting for freight; and on her
densrture was succeeded by another,
which remained nearly month, and
after taking freight to New-Orleans
returned, spent another month, and
went second time to the same place.
