got into the coach, and even after having taken the opinion of the captain, tie crew and all the passengers upon the matter. he felt himself as much ill the dark as ever-- The last thing he could recolect of the land he left was, that he had dned at the Three Cups; what followed was chaos
 But the worst the affair, decidedly, was, that the day on which he had put to sea was on the 22d of the month and as it was impossible for him to make his appearance with his regiment on the 24th, he knew he must as q matter of course, be reported absent without leave at head quarters, and that Ee would most probably be suspended This reflection was even worse than the weather to the Quartermaster, though the rough sea had already almost brought his heart tup. However he had great hopes oi being able to join his regiment on the 10th of the following month, the next return day: and by due application he thought he might contrive to prevent supersession. Ten days of this was, however consumed before he set foot upon German shore, and then only half of his excursion was over; all his hopes rested upon quick passage to Harwich.
 This, however, the fates denied him. for, having drawn on the agent-got the cash engaged his passage to England-laid in sea stock and all things necessary-the packet just as she was leaving Hamburg, was run foul of by five hundred ton ship, and so much injured that she was obliged to put back, and the unfortunate Quartermas- ter was thus compelled to wait a fortnight for another opportunity of returning to En- gland. He was not only delayed beyond the 10th, (return day) but the 24th; and when he did arrive. he found that he had been not only superseded by the Comman- der-inChief, but considered dead by all his friends and relations!
 However, on personally applying for re instatement, he obtained it, and once more joined the old corps at Harwice, where he many night amused the mess with the recital Of his trip to sea in the coach, which was always given with effect when he was half secs orer.---Military !Sketeh Book

In launching our little barque upon the political waves, we deem It due to our selves and to the public whom We expezm tU be voyagers with us, to lay before th1 a chart of the course we intend to steer '
 Believing that the leading measures of Mir Van Buren's administration are sub versive of the very principles upon which our government was first founded, We should be recreant to ourselves and our country were we not to labor, with might and main, to bring about change. N9 shall, therefore. run mp to our masthead the broad pennant of Harrison and Tyler, and sink or swim, live or die. survive or perish" under that glorious flag, we shall do battle manfully to the end.
 The repeated suspensions og Ffle banks, the Arrangement in the currency and eX- changes of the country. and the failure of all Governmental experiments to remedy the evil, have convinced us that that remedy is to be attained alone by the establish ment of d Netional Bauk properly restrict ed Thus thinking, we shall contend through our columns for the charter, by act of Congress, of such an institution.
 Pre-emption laws, and a law graduating the price of public lands, are measures which shall meet with our most cordial support.
 Internal improvements by the state. par tcularly the construction oi good roads leading from Helena to various points in the interior, and q well regulated system of public schools, are measures which VIC deem of vital importance, and which Of course. shall find III us Jealous advocat0

In the Rocky Mountain expedition un-
dertaken two or three years ago, by the
American Fur Company, they sustained a
loss Of 800, 900, not being able to compete
with the Hudson Bay Co. for the reason
above stated The branch Of the latter
company in the Columbia has obtained the
present season about one hundred packs
of Beaver, worth at least $40, GOO; two
thirds of which has been taken on the ter
ritory claimed by the United States. With
this competition, the American Fur Com
pany have found it necessary to confne
their trade to the Missouri River and its
Misunderstanding the uncontrolled pos
session Of the Rocky Mountains and the
Oregon Territory TO the English Compa-
nv.
The Hudson Bay Company now extend
their trade or this side Of the Mou ntains,
even to within fifty days travelling of this
city and many of the fur hunters who
were formerly in the service Of the Amer
lean, have found it necessary to apply for
employment in the British company.
This branch of trade which is entitled TO
the same protection from our government
that our commerce receives on the ocean,
and yet it is entirely neglected. Ifa draw
back were allowed upon the goods employ
ed in the trade, we nigh; be able to come
in competition with the Hudson Bay Com
pany, but even this is denied.-St. Louis
