ported and rendered distinct accounts sstheir pro-
ceedings, and that the same are fair and Justly
stated"
The Report itself is interesting and of consider
able length, and embraces number of topics.
That which occupies the largest space in the Re-
port Is the question OF stopping the operations Of the
Company upon the lower sections Of the Canal,
that's, between the Little Falls and the City Line
oil Georgetown, now in progress Of execution. IL
had been proposed, II seems, in the General Com
miitee, and discussed there pretty much at large
to suspend that work for an indefinite time.
After the reading the report was concluded
Gen. Mason, of Georgetown, rose, aud present.
ed, much at-!arge. and with great earnestness, his
views against those taken in tire Report upon the
point above referred TORN delivering which he oc-
cupied about two hours.
He was followed by Mr. Mercer of Virginia
who ably defended the course pursued by the
Company in going on with this portion OF the work,
aud deprecated the idea of interrupting it upon
any OF the grounds suggested by the gentleman
who preceded him.
After some further explanatory remarks from
Messrs Mason. Mercer, and A. Lee,
MIR. Ingham Secretary OF the Treasury moved
to amend the above proposition by adding thereto
the following proviso:
"Prorided, That, in asserting 10 this recon-
mendation, this meeting would not be understood
as approving the extension of the Canal from the
Little Falls OF Potomac TO the mouth of the Tiber
before the essential parts OF the work above those
Falls were completed and put into operation; aud
more especially before the legal right OF the Com
pany so TO extend the Cana, dad been decided by
the proper judicial authority"
The meeting then adjourned, ON molten OF Mr..
Key, to meet again at O'Clock to-day.
1.-THE Session will doubtless terminate. to-day,
and II is probable that the election will be held by
or before noon full attendance of the Stock
holders Is de sirable. [-Tdf. Int.
HARVARD UNIVERSITY
PORTLAND, June S-The Inauguration Of Hon.
Josiah Quincy as President of Harvard University,
took place yesterday at Cambridge, according to
previous arrangements.-The ceremonies were
attended by very numerous company, from the
| city and neighbouring towns, including the Gov
ernor, Lieut.. Governor, the Mayor of Boston and
many other distng ushed characters. Governor
Lincoln pronounced Latin address on the occa-
sion, TO which reply in Latin made by Pres
ident Quincy. The inaugural discourse by the
latter, the subject Of Education, is highly spo-
ken OF; and the performances, both at the church,
and subsequently, gave general satisfaction. At
the dinner, Judge Story announced the reception
OF letter from Hon. Nathan Dane of Beverly,
giving the muniticent donation of $4,000 to-
wards the establishment Of Law proiessorslip at
the University. The Mayor Immediately perpe-
! trated pun upon the circumstance, .remarkiag
! though he might give bad measure in his latin, he
would say

When MFR. .fdans selected Mr. PREsLE. of
Maine, as one Of the Commissioners to settle re
important question of our North Eastern Bounda-
ny, il was. we presume, thought by the Editors of
the Chronicle and Maryiander, very proper and
ludicious selection.-But so soon as this Mr. Pre-
BILE is appointed Minister to the Netherlands by
Gen. Jackson, he is traIsmogri6ed into most con-
temptibie fellow. We would suggest to those sage,
! and OF late, most oracuiar gentlemen, that their
article on the subject OF Mr.. Prebies appointing It,
IN their paper of Saturday, tho no doubt meant to
bear hardly only on Jackson, is any thing but COM
plimentary to Mr.. .fdams. But, we dare saw the
care very little about that notc--hIr. adams is
politically dead, and those who prayed loudest in
his praise, while lining will probably be the first
to kick him now that he is dead.
lBah Republican,
AT every removal made by President Jackson,
the Coalition Editors cry out "perSecution," Gin
toleranee," "despOtiSm," s'pr0scription," and
swear that there is no excuse that can be made
for it. Because in every case the President does
not state, in the 0e,USpdpers, the grounds of re-
moyal, they set down all to party spirit and party
policy. The cases of DR.. Watiins and Register
.Noluse ought TO have made them a little more
cautious. If they should succeed in deceiving
any portion OF the public by their clamors the de-
ceit, the cheat win be detected and they may
rest assured the re-acten will overwhelm them.
Congress meets in December, and then the scales
will drop from the eyes of all who. in the mean
time, may have been deceived. We know of cas-
es of abuse Of public trust by some who have been
removed, that the public are yet uniformed of bat
all will come outin proper time. ID.
We heard it reported on Saturday, says the Bos-
ton Courier of Monday, on the authority of let
tiers from Washington, that Messrs. X. Derby and
N. Amory. formerly of Boston, were removed from
their offices as Navy Agent and Naval Storekeep-
er at Pensacola.
Caleb Atwater OF Ohio. has been appointed by
the President, in conjunction with Coils. M'Neil
and Menard, to hold treaty on the waters OF the
Mississippi, with several Indian tribes The Cir =

one Of the primary objects Of the mission isto pur-
chase from the Indians the right of soil for the ter
