INDIAN FAirH.-Amongst the Indians Of
the far west when talk is proposed and
agreed to, they regard as religious duty
never 10 violate the peace whilst the
conference is going OIL, neither do they
take measures during the suspension Of
hostiIiies to surround or otherwise cir
cumvent their enemies. We are told b.
an experienced trader oil the Rocky
Mountains that in talk The experienced
white always feels secure, and he never
knew an instance Of this confidence being
abused by the Indians. How will this
compare with the late conduct OF Gen.
Jesup in the capture Of Oseoa?

DIscoNTINUANcE OF SUNDAY TRAVEL
LING IN ENeLAND.-We learn from an
English paper, that at recent meeting
of coach proprietors from all parts Of
England held in London, it was very
generally determined, to give up as far
as possible, the travelling Of public coach
es on the sabbath. This measure was
resolved upon, principally on the ground
that it would be an actual saring 10 the
DToprietOrs, there would be very nearly
the same number Of passengers as at pre-
sent, though spread oversix days instead
Of seven, while many of the expenses
would be diminished one seventh, and
it would be great relief TO the horses.
