DISTRESSING sHIPWRECKs.

We have mentioned the loss Of three vessels,
bound to Quebec, viz Isabella Jane, and Moon
TheQuebec papers contain further particulars of
the loss Of these vessels, and melancholy ac-
counts Of the fate Of others by shipwreck Cap
tain Crooks attributes the loss ofthe Jane, which
he represents as a fine new brig to ''the want of
something being done in the way Of improving
the light houses at each end of st. Paups."-
These vessels were wrecked almost in sight of
each other in dark night, amid snow and sleet.
A barque was lost near the same spot, and it

Our prediction that the recent course pursued
by the Bank of the United States, would pro.
woke new and more vrulent assaults upon itc
very existence from those whom it has offended
has already been verified. Many will not take
the trouble to examine legal argument in sur
port of the mere legal rights of corporation
and hence the Bank should have been, to prp
vent Misrepresentation Of its conduct and pc.
version Of its views, more accommodating i.
its disposition to open its proceedings to nyes.
tigation, than it has shown itself The natura.
and commendable jealousy felt towards so grea,
monied institution, is not likely to be lessenod
by even an appearance of desire to avoid i,
curry We have examined the whole subioc,
carefully, without prejudice or passion, and
have come to the conclusion that the Maioritv
ofthe Committee asked too much, and the BAN.
yielded too little.

ALEXANDRIA CANAL.

We stated in Saturdays Gazette, that Mr..
CHM from the District Committee, had made
report to the House of Representatives, &C
COMMANDED by bill appropriating 100000 to
the aid of the Alexandria Canal Company
The following is copy Of the bill:
BILL for the benefit of the CITY OF Alex
andria.
BE it enacted, &c, That the Secretary OF the
Treasury be- and he is hereby, authorized ana
required to subscribe to the stock OF the Alexan-
dria Canal Company one thousand shares, OF
one hundred dollars a share, to be held for the
nse and benefit ofthe Corporation, and the dlvl-
dends arising therefrom to be applied by SAID
CORPORATION to the education OF the poor chill
dren of said city, and other charitable purposes;
and provided that, before said subscription is
made. the said Canal Company shall, at gene
raj meeting Of the stockholders, give their as
sent to said subscription upon the terms afore-
said. and further concede to the Government
of the United States the right to transport every
description of property belonging to the United
States upon said canal and alueduct free from
any tolls and charges and shall moreover give
to the United States the right to use the wafer
flowing through the said canal for any purpose,
and to connect dry dock or any other i'm
provement with the said canal or acqueduct;
provided, also, the said Corporation shall be en-
titled to vote upon the stock hereby authorized
to be subscribed in the same manner as ii al
rectly subscribed by the Corporation of Alex
andria. The evidence of the assent, hereby re-
quired of the Company shall be filed in the Of
fee Of the Secretary Of the Treasury before ma
king said subscription.
The report which recommends the passage
of this bill, is said to be a very able and strong
one. We trust the subject will receive the pa
tent attention of Congress. On their justice
our claim reposes. II is known and admitted
that this portion Of the District has claims which
ought to be cheerfully acknowledged by the Ma
tional Legislature, as we have no doubt, they
will be.

THE INDIANS

Extract of letter from a gentleman in Wash
ington. dated Wednesday, May 81, 1884.
ain the House of Representatives, yesterday.
Mr.. Everett, of Vermont, from the Committee
on Indian Affairs, reported three bills. 1st To
provide for the organization of the Indian de
2artment Cd, A bill to regulate trade and inter
course with the Indian tribes, and to preserve
peace on the frontiers. And Sd. A bill TO pro-
vide for the establishment of the Western Ter
ritory, and for the security and protection ofthe
emigrant and other Indian tribes therein.
The limits of a letter will not permit me to en-
ter on minute detail of the provisions OF these
bills. This subject, at an early period OF the
session occupied the attention OF the COMMITTEE
on Indian Affairs and they have bestowed much
time in preparing and perfecting the subject;
their labors have resulted in the report OF these
bills; -and should Congress have time to act on
them, it is believed they will pass. They propose
material alterations in our relations with the In
dian tribes, and should they be passed into law,
the Red man may date his preservation and Sc
curity for his rights from that period.
The bills were accompanied with report
drawn by MIR. Everett, embracing a succinct
view Of the whole subject of our Indian rela-
tons.
II is a report of great ability, and shews that
the whole subject was familiar to the writer, and
had occupied much of his time and reflection,
and the country should feel greatly indebted to
him for the very able anu satisfactorily manner
ne has elucidated every fact connected with this
important branch of our public affairs; and to
give you an idea of the judgment and prudence
with which this whole subject has been mana
ged, will remark, that this measure is sanction
ed by the Executive, approved by the Secreta-
ry Of War, the unanimous opinion ofthe Com
mittee, and meets the appreciation of the lndi-
ans themselves. II will be the means OF settling
the whole of this perplexing subject, and OF a.
vOldlng those unfortunate collisions which have
and inevitably would arise between the General
and State Governments. The importance Of
this subject, and the estimate formed of the re-
port, may be judged from the fact that the House
ordered the printing of ten thousand extra CO.
pies without dissenting voice

We mentioned heretofore that seven persons,
belonging to the Isabella were lost. Some had
arrived at Quebec-the residue amounting to
more than 200 persons suffered severely with

tertained for their safety. The only building

Captain Anderson, from Aberdeen, for Quebec

The inhabitants were stealing the goods as fast
as they could obtain them from the wreck.

it is believed, has persisted. This vessed sailed

From the Selections Of Mrs. Va. II. Ro6b.
ON AN INFANTS GRAVE.

IT'S well, perhaps, the flower has never bloomed,
Nor burst to beauty in this vale OF tears;
IT'S WE'LL perhaps, it now lies low entombed;
1t fell unsullied ere the waste OF years.
Affection saw the rude approach of death,
And strove in vain to arrest the impending
blow;
Maternal feeling fed the latest BREATH,
Which kept spirit in this world OF Woe
All! why should grief your hapless life consume?
And why should sorrow thus pervade your
breast?
In blissful realms your darling girl shall bloom,
And wake to raptures in eternal rest
