 "The Commissioners are just setting out for two months tour in the great prairies, to finish marking out the road" to New Mexico, upon the survey and examination that completed last fal- After the return, the Commissioners will make their final and full report of the Board which will be acc companied by very complete maps and chGrts and will, presume, be minute in its details and las I hope) satisfactory and interesting in all it's results- This work should have been entirely completed and reported last year, before the meeting of Congress but has been unavoidably delayed by the very unex- pected refusal of the Mexican Government to co-op- crate promptly in the measure.
 "TO judge from the preparations making should incline to think that the trade from this section of the Union to New Mexico, must be still increasng- Several fitting out, and will be on the road in few weeks; these, am informed, larger and better equipped, and carry out more value of merchandise than any which have heretofore gone to New Mexico. l have doubt this trade will con- tinue to increase till it settles down into well ganized and quite important branch of commerce, profitable to all concerned in it, and we'll worthy of the protection and fostering of the General Gov ernment, which doubt not it will receive in due time.o
 The Yearly Meeting of Friends commenced at Portsmouth, N. H. on Saturday, and was held on Sunday, at Newport, where it continued until We'd nesday. Anna Braithwaite and other celebrated Friends from England, attended the meeting.

 Reu Joseph Emerson, Author of the Epanselical Primer" Six editions of this great work have been published in this county-I have had considerable opportunity to examine and compare specimens of all these six editions, and decidedly of opinion, that most people would greatly prefer ARNfSTRONG'S EDITION, now publishing in Boston. As the fold is octave, the volumes are not nearly 50 large the quarto editions; but the paper is finer and winter; the execution handsomer the print to appearance nearly as large; and it be turned to the light with much less nconyenence, 1t may perhaps be read with equal and pleasure. It has the advantage of be ing cheaper, less cumbersome, and more elegant.
 "ARMSTRONG'S EDITION, therefore, is the one which, most highly recommend for the use of families. It is peculiarly calculated to supcrsede the of large Bible; and in two respects it will answer better purpose merely for reading the scrip lures, it is less cumbersome, and may be read by several persons at the same tme.", @-ALSO- aSts Just received, and for Sale as above, A TREATISE ON SURVEYING. 1sp .not,r GSdMnaRrf, Fourth Improved Edition.-ALso, ES t...
