AETI-MAsoEIc CONVENTION. 1t was hals
past ten o'clock on the evening preceding the
publication of our last paper, when the Anti
Masonic Convention adjourned. Our notice
OF it was, therefore, necessarily brief and i'm
perfect So far, however, as it went. we in
tended that it should be, and we believe that it
was, fair and impartial Want of room, now,
prevents our enlarging on the subject We
VIII, however, add that Jonas l.. Sibley, Esq,
declined serving as delegate, being decidedly
opposed to the whole procedure. We have
reason to believe that the suggestion made at
the meeting, that DR.. Thayer is mason, was
incorrect. 1t has been suggested to us as i'm
portart to state, that but small portion of the
meeting voted on any one of the motions which
were put Such, unquestionably, was the fact
Yet 1t is not to be supposed that none others
considered themselves as acting with the meet
ing. There was, however, no test by which
the relative proportion could be ascertained, of
those who were in favor of, and of those who
were opposed to, the objects of the meeting
We shall take an early opportunity to give our
views on this subject.
We perceive by the last Yeoman that Wal
ton LiVermore, Esq, declines serving as del
egate to the State Convention. By commu-
nication in this paper it will be seen that l.
Goodwin, Esq. also declines serving.
The official report of the proceedings of the
Convention was not handed us in season for
this paper.
P. S. The Lancaster Gazette, of yesterday,
contains communication from Dr. Thayer,
declining TO serve as delegate.

the dramatic pieces are several from the pen of

of the Bulletin has selected, for republication,
an article from the pen of the author, because
it is peculiarly seasonablc" We make the fol.
lowing extract from it to show what is thought,
in Boston, to be fair specimen of the taste of

1t is confidently reported, that the gov
eminent of Great Britain. joined by that of
France and Austria, will inform Russia that
they will not remain silent spectators, and
see Turkey become a conquered country.
If Russia still peTseverc, it is more than
probable that higher tone will be used, and
perhaps the torch Of war, lit in the east.
may spread its flames throughout Europe.
Parliament resumed their sittings on the
18th Of April. The Duke of Norfolk, Lords
Clifford and Dormer, (Catholics) took their
seats in the House of Lords as Peers of the
J Realm. After taking the oaths, these long
excluded Peers shook hands with the Lord
Chancellor. subsequently, they received
the congratulations Of many noble and dis
tlngnishcd Peers. They have thus resum-
ed, if in their persons it can be called re-
sumption, the hereditary seats of their illus
trious ancestors, which no Catholic had
been suffered to occupy for 143 years.
The distress among the manufacturers
continued, and was very severe. Extensive
" turn-outs" had occurred in Manchester.
Rochdale, and Macciesfeld, and other pla-
ces. The malcontents had even gone so
far as to break the windows and DESTROY
the machinery of some of the factories.-
In some cases the military had been call
cd out.
liverpool, May 5. We announce with
very great regret nm alarming riot which
occurred yesterday in the immediate neigh
borhood of Manchester, and which led to
the burning Of one mill and the partial
demolition Of two others. The sole cause
of this disturbance has been an attempt on
the part of the masters to reduce the wae-
es of the worhmon, which the infatuated
men have resisted by these acts of violence.
Fresh prosecutions are going OH in Ma
pies, for political offences, and several per-
sons have been sentenced TO death.
A London paper of the 23d of April con-
tains the following extract from Lisbon.
dated 9TH Of April :" We are assured thai
in an assembly of magistrates, held at Ju-
choz, who sat several hours in deIiberation
Don Miguel himself became the accuser of
his sister, whom he charged with conspira-
cy against his person, and the system es-
tabllshed by him. The magistrates are said
to have been so weak as to decide that pro-
ceedlngs should he commenced against the
Princess, and the Magistrate Galleries is
charged TO make report thereon"
1t is confidently stated that Lord Beres-
ford is to proceed to Portugal as Ambassa
dor Extraordinary from England, to en-
deavor to effect an arrangement between
the two brothers, Don Pedro and Don Nj |
guel.
The London Globe of May 2 states that
the British Government, in conjunction with
some of the other great powers of Europe,
IS about to interfere with strong hand to
put down Portugal, and to expel the usurp-
er from the kingdom.

which was one under the Tuscan flag,
which belongs to the government of Tunis.
The Pacha of Tripoli has raised claims
against Tuscany, and the French Consul
has settled the affair hy paying six thou

RUSSIA AND TURKEY. Dates from Con-
stantinople of March Goth, state that the
Sultan is still in his camp near the capital,
that fleet is ready to sail to encounter the
Russian squadron, and that Husseln Pacha
has concentrated all the troops between
Adrianople and Chumla.
The second division of the Russian army,
unde. Gen. Witt, consisting OF $4,000, have
entered Bulgaria. 1t is rumored that the
10000 troops in Wallachia will be sent to
reinforce the Russian Asiatic army. From
this we may infer, that there is some Truth
in the late accounts of Persian excitement.
| The English and Russian Admirals in
the Mediterranean, have had some differ
ence about the capture Of two Egyptian
vessels by the latter, who has insisted upon
the rights of his sovereign as belligerent
power.
| Beasts of burden are said to have entirely
disappeared from Moldavia, and peasants

RAIL ROADS. The bill establishing the
Massachusetts Rail Road Corporation es-
tablishes the corporation with a capital
stock of three million three hundred thou
sand dollars, one-third of which are to be
taken by the State, and the remaining two
thirds by individuals or corporations, for
the construction of rail road from Boston
to the east line of the State of New York.
The State Treasurer is authorized by the
bill to subscribe in the name of the State,
but never at any one time, to subscribe for
more than one-half the number of shares
that shall have been taken by individuals /;
nor is there ever to be an assessment of
more than one hundred dollars per share,
levied at any time. The site of the road is
left altogether to the decision of the direc-
tors of the corporation, who are authorized
to appoint three commissioners to have the
particular direction of the work The road
is to be four rods wide the whole length.
The usual provisions are made for the pay
ment of all damages, and the indemnity OF
all sufferers by the work.
The Treasurer is authorized to issue
State Notes, to be denominated "Treasury
Certificates" redeemable after twenty years
at the pleasure of the government, bearing
four and half per cent. interest, and the
Commonwealth is, by the act, pledged for
the payment of the notes.
The same bill also establishes {" The Sec
ond Massachusetts Rail Road Corporation,
for the construction of Rail Road from
Boston to Providence, or to the navigabe
waters of the Taunton River, as shall be
hereafter decided upon, with capital stock
of three hundred thousand dollars, one
third of which is to be taken by the State
as permanent stock.

passengers, are to be fixed by the directors
