matter on hand, we have been compelled to

The Boston papers contain resolutions of
both houses Of the Legislature, expressive of
their regret at the death Of the venerable Gov.

penses of his funeral to be betrayed out of the
public treasury.
Mr.. Owen, of Lanark. whose views in this
country are well known to our readers, is at
present in Washington City. 1t is his inten-

The Boston Centinel of Friday last says,
that there were three Grand Salutes fired,
of one hundred guns each, at Morning, Noon
and Sunset in commemoration Of the choice
ofthe Hon. JOIN QrIScr ADAMS, to the first
Office in the gift ofa free and enlightened Peo-

The Raleigh Star of Friday last, says 'qt is

ever been made. Mr.. Crawford, We believe,
