The United States Supreme Conrt has
given leave to Massachusetts to Withdraw,
in the boundary dispute between her and
Rhode-Isand. The Boston Advocate says
" Tho decision of the Court. sustaining ju-
risdiciion, has no, been understood. The
Constitution extends to the Supreme Couri,
" Judicial power in controversies between
two or more States" Congress has never
prescribed auy form of process. But the
Cour, 6nds two States before them, voluntn-
rily, and therefore sustains jurisdiction
But the decision takes the ground that the
Court has no power TO bring the parties in,
or to enforce judgment. Consequently,
if either party withdraw. the other may pro-
ceed exparle, but no decision can affect the
other party. In these views, we understand
the Court was unanimous. 1t refrains from
the exercise of Judge law"

LECTURES ON AsrRoNoMY.--We derived
much pleasure and instruction by attending
the lectures on this interesting subject delv-
cred last week by Mr.. WATERMAN. We
extremely regretted, with many others, that
his health did not permit him to give full
course of lectures at the present time. The
illustrative diagrams that he exhibited, were
superior in number and beauty to any that
we have ever seen as are also his collec-
ton of historical and fancy paintings.
MIR. w. intends to return to this town in
two or three months, and deliver a full course
of lectures, which will give our citizens an
opportunity to derive instruction that, we
do no, doubt, they will engerly improve.

Small Poz among the Indions.--The
Globe publishes letter frcm Gen. William
Clark, the Superintendent OF Indians AZ
fairs at St. Lewis, giving the most me!an-
choIy description of the, ravages Of the
small! pox among the tribes Of Indians 10
the Upper Missouri. The Mandnns, con-
sisins Of one thousand persons, had been
reduced by the scourge TO thirty one. OF
the Gros Ventres, or Mnetarees--a tribe
of 1000 strong-one half had persisted. and
the disease was still raging. The Ricnras
Tribe, numbering about three thousand, had
been reduced one half at the last dates.
Most of those that survived subsequently
committed suicide-some by shooting,
s,abbing, and some by throwing themsel-
yes from The high precipices along the Mis-
souri,. The great band of Assinneboins,
say 10000 strong, and the. Creeks number
iRg about 5000, have been almost nnnihil-'
ated. The disease had reached The Black
feet Of the Rocky Mountains a band of
1000 lodges had been swept oil, und the
disease was rapidly spreading among tho
different bands of that great tribe, number
ing about 10000 souls. Immediately on
the receipt of this depiorable intelligence nt
Washington, measures were adopted by the
proper authorities to afford alleviaton, and
if possible TO prevent the further spread Of
the scourge.
Letters from the traders of the Far West,
thus describe the great mortality which has
prevailed among the remnants Of the once
powerful tribes of Indians there -
Language can convey but faint idea of
the misery and distress which now per-
vades the broad regions of the west, inbab-
tied by numerous Indian tribes. In what
ever direction you turn, nothing but sad
wrecks OF mortality meet the eye-lodges
standing on every hill, but not IA streak of
snake To be seen rising from ihem--not a
sound can be heard to break The awful still
ness, save the omlnous croak of ravens,
and the mournful howl Of wolves, baitening
on the human carcasses that lie sirewed
around. II seems us if The very genius Of
desolatioa had stalked through the praries,
and wreaked his revenge on every thing
bearing the shape of humanity"
