struction by those who are called to administer
them; and at all times, subject to revocation
by the parties enacting them.
Of the inconvenience and inexpediency OF
substituting which, the memorialists them
selves furnish strong proof IN point, by the
statement they make in their memorial, OF
the British ports Of Halifax, in Nova Scotia,
and ST Johns in New Brunswick. which were
opened for the admission of vessels OF the Uni
ted States, by an act of parliament, of June "a,
1922, having, in January last suddenly, and
without notice, been closed against vessels OF
the United States in mid-wnter, and on an ex-
tremely hazardous and Indictment coast under a
construction of an act o. parliament, OF July,
1925 and which construction is now admitted,
even by the British authorities themselves, to
have been erroneous.
From all these views, which might be extend
ed, and, from the committee having reason
to believe, that an adjustment OF the CONNER
cial intercourse between the United States and
the British colonial POSSESSIONS, forms one OF
the special and prominent objects which have
been committed to the minister OF the United
States at the court of London; that a cores
ponding desire to arrange il on q satisfactory
footing appears to exist the part OF the Brit
ish government, and that the negotiations re-
specting it are expected to come to a definite
issue, before the next session Of congress; the
committee, although fully agreeing with the
memorialists in The wish to cultivate and ex-
tend the trade in question, which they trust
may be done to the mutual advantage OF the
parties concerned in it, are still unanimously
of opinion that it is not expedient, at this
time to legislate on the subject, and therefore,
ask TO be discharged from the further con-
sheraton Of the memorial
Which is respectfully submitted.

REMARKABLE SPRING.

At i2 miles distant from Tallehassee, the new
capital of Florida, is the Big Spring, the source of
WakuIla liver. This celebrated fountain is one of
the creates, natural curiostes in the United States
Ascending the river about one mile below its source,
it becomes so much obstructed by flags and river
weeds that it is with great difficulty that boat can
be propelled up the stream: suddenly this immense
spring breaks upon the eye. 1t is nearly one mile In
length and of circular form. The water is almost
as transparent air ITSELF 1t is OF an unfathomable
depth, which gives the water deep blue tint, aimi-
lar in appearance 10 the water in the Gulf Stream.
1t is stated that plumb has drawn $50 fathoms of
line without finding any bottom. After arriving in
the centre of the spring in . small boat upon
clear day the appearance of the azure vault above
and the blue depth below, gave rise to succession
Of the most singular IDEAS 1t appeared after ab-
stracting the surrounding foliage from the mind
that VIC were suspended in the immense regions of
space. The wafer is highly impregnatcd with de.
composed limestone; which gives it that extremely
transparent appearance which only be accounted
for by supposing that water impregnated with cal
careous substances has much less refractiye powers
for light than water in state Of purity. The tenn
perature OF the water is very low, even in the warm
est weather it has an icy appearance 1t has howev
er nauseous taste by being highly impregnated
with the suphuret Of lime. On the northern side
OF this spring, beautiful hammock rises gently
from the water. This is the site of the former En-.
glish Factory for the Indian trade while this coun
try was under the British crown and afterwards the
residence of the celebrated Ambrister, who was ex
ecuted during the Seminole campaign. This foun-
tain is fed from the suberraneous sources which
gush from the bowels Of the earth with incredible
force rising in the centre with the velocity of boil
ing water. Some idea may be formed ofthe power
with which it gushes from the earth by its display
ing column of water more than $50 fathoms in
height, and removing with violence the water on
the surface. This spring is about l2 miles from ST.
Marks, and about 90 from the ocean.

FROM THE coNssc1Icrr MIRROR.

Yes, there thoughts that have soundsuch thuug
That no coin'd phrase of words can utter them!
The to, que would syllable their shapes in vain
The cautious pen, even in a masters hand,
Finds nothing at its point to mark them with.
No earthly note can touch these airy chords;
'1is silent music--indescribabIe.
We hear it when the car is shut, and see
lis beauties when the eye is closed in sleeps
We feelit when the nerves are all at rest
When the heart stops and the charmd soul throbs
The mmateria pulses of that soul
Will reve to its harmonies, as if
Even in this mortal life, 'twere fancy free
From the gross business OF the body's care.
These not Of our mske-they come sometimes,
When the sad sleeper mas forgot his woes,
And giv'n his agonies while to rest.
Through the still watches of the solemn night,
They pace with fairy feet the labyrinhs
Of the bran's thousand cares, and lightly sweep
Its pains away for many star-lit hour
But then the morning comes and where are they'
Perhaps they visit to console the good
Perhaps 70 hurry to bis dark fate
The bad, and strew with flowers his way to death.

happens that the woman does not wish to marry the
person by whom she is pursued in which case she
will not suffer him to overtake her, and it is rted
tina. no instance occurs Of Calmuck girl being
thus caught, unless she has partiality ior her

that youth should be perfectly we'll skilled in reading,

s,des, is estimated al 10000, and Inc
Aga Pacha is said TO be among them. -
Constanlinople still resembles a camp.
Several quarters OF the city have been
burnt, and the Sultan, taking advantage
Of his victory, has ordered executions
under his own eyes, and rewards to the
faithful among the Janizaries. His
courage has also conciliated to him the
avor of the people.
The organization was with little nose
and every thlng appeared tranquil until
The ulght of the l5h, when The leaders
OF the Janizaries began their manGu-
vres; and at six in the morning the re-
volt was complete. The Janizaries had
brought their cooking vessels to ne
square of The Amoidan, and overset
them, to imply that they would have no.
thing to do with the Grand Seignor, and
hey refused provisions. They invited
the Topschis 10 initiate their example,
5ut they refused however, The Janlza-
ries continued to march owards The Sc
raglio, threatening to depose Mahmoud
and TO proclaim his son.
Al noon the Seraglio was invested i;
and then the Cannoniers or Topschls,
who came by water from the arsenal
with some faithful troops, presented
themselves at the avenues oil the palaces
with cannon. This surprised the Jani-
zaries, and made them hesitate; but to-
wards evening they showed disposition
TO make an attack, when the Sultan ar
rived from his summer retrea, on the
other side of the Bosphorus, and dis
played the standard of Mabomet. AT
the same time criers mounted all the
minarets, and called Oh all faithful be-
levers TO assemble round his highness.
The ranks of the Janizaries began to
grow thinner, and the Topschis with
their cannon charged with case SHOT,
came out of The seraglio, and being
backed by the marine troops, made a
terrible carnage of the Janlzaries, who
retired to the barracks TO the number OF
about 10000 There they hoped they
should be left in repose but near mid
night the Sultan gave orders that they
should he attacked, and the barracks set
on fire. The chiefs then gave them
selves up as prisoners others were ex.
ecuted and fifty chiefs or Ortas were
strangled.
On the 18th, the Sultan, taking advan-
tase Of his success, had drums brought
from Pera, to put into practice the Eu.
ropean system; and the orders toT the
suppression of the Janizaries we're sent
to all parts of The empire. The result
is to be anxiously looked for Il may
be that faithful Topschis will not every
where be found 10 ac with decision.
