NEW JERSEY.
TIE session of the New jersey Legislature will
be brisk and business one, ~ many questions of
interest vii, be discussed, and amongst these that
| Of the boundary line is very important. The ar
! rest and Imprisonment OF the Sheriff of Richmond
county. for serving process in the state Of Jersey,
must necessarily embrace the question of territorial
limits, and this is very important and delicate
subject, touching state jurisdiction well per-
sonal rights, we do hope that commissioners may
forth it'll be appointed TO settle the question in
that just and sncable manner which two sover-
eign states connected by close ties should do.
The Delaware and Rsritan Canal is most pro-
mnent and important subject. The holders of the
charter.apply to have their bonus Of 500 900
turned. The completion Of that vastly important
project has met with great difficulties, not in
ly digging the canal. bu, in obtaining water phi
vileges from Pennsylvania. We have entertained
but one opinion on the subject. The state Of N.
Jersey should co hplete the canal. II should be
the work and the property OF the state, and never
made private speculation. ,oiu be the most
profitable canal in the tDorid; and, after the
original cost shall have been paid. it will produce
| a permanent and immense revenue to the state.

much for that stale; and no better commencement
can be made than in paying back this bonus and
wiping away all individual responsibilities and
obligations. Ia,

our city have assumed dreary aspect. First the
explosion of many chartered companies; then fail

OF credit; then the Greek controversy; and the
trials again. One gloomy step seems to follow an
other. We must do what is right, and also do
what Is expedient and prudent these matters 10.
| GENERAL ADAIR.
This gentleman, accompanied by his son, passed
through our village few evenings ago. His dress

known TO the General, entered into conve rsation
with him, in the course of which, our friend men
