Interesting 10 Cotton Pianters.-A Friend, now on d visit to the Eastern States, has sent to us by the ship Dorcr, from Boston, specimen ofwha is call ed "Payta Coaon," a small portion of which s in the seed, and portion ginned together with the seed taken from the latter, which may be examined at our Office. It is stated to grow spontaneously on the Coast of Peru, and that any quantity may be had in the seed, at one cent per pound. Two parcels have been imported into Boston, one of which, amounting to about 200 bales, has been ginned out by common saw gin, and some oft sold at 15 cents per pound The other parcel is in the process of being cleaned by hand. It was found to lose about 23ds of its weight in the process of cleaning. The merchants interested in these imporatons accord ing to the statement of our correspondent, seem to think if the duty on imported Cotlons were remoy- ed, that good business may be done in the article The staple is so long, that of the machinery at present in in the neighborhood of Boston can work it advantageously. Our correspondent also states, that there is quantity of the seed, which might be procured, should any o planters be in- clined to try it. The plant is perennial one.

Keep your distance, Sir.-A young chip of the law, who was recently ground out of law-rnl in neighborng county, having got ready to set up shop for himself travelled into the interior of this country t!l he came to place where two roads met and where there was no lawyer, and there stuck out his sign, set himself down, crossed his legs, men ded his pen and waited for the call of his clients The inhabitants of the town drew nigh and cast very suspicious looks at the sign. It was Il sight they were not accustomed to; they thought they smelt rat, and fearing that some mischief was brewing, they mustered their forces, marched up to the sign, pulled it down, gave it to the lawyer, and told him if he wanted to stick up such things as that he must go in some other town. For they had al. ways been a toerablc peaceable community and they did not want any thing that would be likely to set them together by the ears. The young squire
 ried 10 reason the case with them, told them of the advantages or having professional man among them to defend and protect their legal rights, &c' &c But they told him il was not d case to be ur- gued' and he must take up his sign and march, Accordingly finding the current too strong fin he stemmed, he departed in quest of ~me other vacan, corner-Portlamd (Maine) Courier

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,

NVHE House of Representatives, by res A olution of the 4th of May, 1880, direct ed the Secretary of the Treasury to collect and communicate to the House, such infor- nation, and report his views on the same, as, in his opinion, may be useful and important to Congress, in enacting regulations for the navi- gation of steam-boats or steam vessels, with a view to guard against the dangers arising from the bursting of their boilers.
 Such measures were accordingly taken, as were thought best calculated to obtain the re- quisite information. But, although some high ly interesting and valuable communications have been received, the Department has not succeeded in collecting facts sufficient to ena- ble it to fulfil the directions of the House.
 In consideration, therefore, of the difficult ty of obtaining the requisite information, by any means within the power of the Depart ment, and of the deep interest which the community, and more especially those en- gagged in steam navigation have in the subject, it is thought best to make this public applica-. tion to all who may be able, and are disposed to promote the benevolent object of the Reso- luton. .
 Accidents like those, which it is the desire of the House to prevent, have, unfortunately been so numerous, that many persons will have 1t in their power to state the causes and circumstances of such casualties; and these, collected from various parts of the Union,' cannot fail to be highly useful.
 With a view to assist in giving that informa- ton precise and explicit character, the fol- lowing queries were prepared:-
 It is not intended, however, to confine it to the points presented in them, or to the form of communication which they may seem to indicate. On the contrary, the Department 
 in the scope of the resolution, and communi- cated in such manner as the writer may be pleased to employ.
 It is desirable that communications on this subject should be transmitted by the first of December, or as early as may be thereafter.

 Secretary of the Treasury.

New YoRK, May 1s.-The Packet ship Canada,

their full supply Of foreign Journals, including London
OF the 18th and Liverpool of the 10th.
1t VIII be seen by the very copious extracts we Eave
given, that although the probabilities of a general war
have lessened, yet the affairs Of tho North OF Europe
present a most interesting a.pect. The Poles, in a We
~ brilliant action, gained a signal advantage over Gen.
Geismars division of the Russian army, on the 31st OF
March, OF which fact The Polish official account will be
found among our extracts. There are also reports OF
another victory, still more brilliant, said to have been
obtained on the day following, April 1st-the result Of
which was the total destruction Of Geismar's corps,
and The captivity Of himself. But there IL some doubt
upon this subject, as will be seen by the following re-
