RICHARD c. Anderson Jour Minister to
CoIombia) on his recent arrival ON a
visit among them, the compliment OF a
Public Dinner, @as a testimony of their
high respect for his private worth and
public services.n Mr.. A. was, from
peculiar circumstances under the ne
cessity of declining the honor. In his
reply conveying to the committee OF IN
yitation this declension, he says--"But
''your letter, and the sentiments it con-
stains, shall not be lost upon me; they
"shall animate me to new efforts to COM
"plete the objects of the mission, in a
"manner which may give satisfaction

friends" From this we understand

Lafayeits's Land.-Colonel Mckee
WHO was deputed to select a township
of land for General Lafay ette, has fixed
upon township No. north, in range
No. 1 east, which joins Tallahassee.
This township, the Pensacola Gazette
says, is considered. to be one of the best
in the territory, and its worth is estma-
ted at from $50 to 100000. We
should think the value of the land is
oyerrated. however we might wish it
otherwise.--ibid.
The Emperor Of Russia has recent
ly issued prohibitation for specie to
be carried out of the empire. Travel
lers are not allowed to have more than
so rubles in silver, and o rubles in cop
per coin. We know not what may be
the effect of such law in Russia, but
we know what we believe would be its
effect in this country. In one month
after it went into operation, every ounce
of gold or silver in the country would
disappear. What was not Struggled
out would be as much an article of
merchandise, and of uncertain value,
as lead or iron now is.--i6id.

Springt field, .nass.) July 6.-On

II O'Clock, fire broke out in or near
one of the foregoing shops, belonging to
the United States establishment, in this
