ATTEMPT TO ASCEND THr LONG SAuLT.-An
attempt is to be made to ascend the rapids Of the
Long sault with the British steamer Ontario. The
current runs with such rapidity through the sault
that IT has hitherto been supposed TO be impossible
to overcome IL, and consequently il has been re-
garded as an insupersble obstacle to the navigation
Of the upper vt Of the ~. Lawrence by steam.
The oaario has already ascended all the rapids be-
tween Prescott and the sault, and great confidence
Is felt IN her capacity to 20 up the Great Rapids.

Lone Bears roR PAcKEr sHIrs.-The recent
disastrous loss Of the packet ship Poland, and the
loss Of the barque burlington, both by fire at sea,
should act upon the owners Of packet ships, Of all
ships, all captains and all travellers by seanovcr
to let ship leave port, aud 10 sail in ship
that has nouboats sufficient, in number and capacity
TO hold every soul on board. What an awful state
those on board the Poland would have been in had
not the Chiffon arrived she did. II does not APP
pear that she had boats sufficient to contain all the
persons on board: and consequently some must have
persisted, either by fire or by water We would
wish most emphatically to impress this upon pub
lie attention Every ship that leaves the port Is liza
bic to the same fate the Poland. And we are as
surcd by officer in the L. =. Navy Of great skill
and experience seaman, that there is scarcely a
packet ship sailing out Of this port that has long
boat, fl to be used in emergency because il is
used as stable, and frequently is full Of holes
We hope the packet owners will attend 10 this for
humsnity's sake, il for nothing else.

TROUBLE BETWEEN THE ABoLIrIoSIsrs AND THE
particulars Of an unpleasant squabble between seve-
raj members OF the respected end respectable body
of Methodists in this city, and the Bishops Of the
General Conference, in relation to the question OF
Abolition. We have only room merely 10 advert to
il to day. II appears that in the discipline OF the
Methodist Church, a sentence was inserted wordcd
as follows, or to this effect viz" Slavery is a
great moral evil"
Ii also appears that SEINE time since the conference
lat the suggestion il is stated, of DR. Bangs )struck
out this sentence from the discipline. This created
a tremendous commoton among those Abolitionists
who were connected with the Methodist Church,
and these latter got up petition signed by 1900
males and females, and forwarded il to the recent
General Conference at Baltimore, to have the sen.
tence restored to the disci pline. Some Of DR..
Bangs party Immediately came from Baltimore to
New York, waited upon the wives Of many Of the
members whose were attached 10 the petition;
and asked them IL they had signed any petition that
on the character Of the bishops. They replied, of
course, in the negative to this equivoca question,
upon which the visitors and querists immed ately
erased their names from the slavery petition, and
returned the conference, where they charged the
geters up of IL with fraud, and forging in it,
disgrsceiul row and split; in the way that the
ALoltionst have dIsgraeed and split up the Presby
terian party by their shameful squsbblcs.

c. Il. Fan Ness. This man again visited our
village on Wednesday last, and addressed gath
ering AT the hall of the Union House on the eve
ming of that day. His last speech is represented
as being on the whole mere repetition Of the
slang about merchants lawyers, banks, dGmocra'
cy and federalism contained in his first one, inclu
ding even some Of the very fasehoods aud mis-
representations which have been most fully expos.
ed and explained by official documents. Among
these was the infamous charge that Harrison az,
proved bill restricting The right OF suffrage, when
in fact the design and the effect of the bill WINS to
erfend the right of suffrage This argues poorly
both for the cause and for the orator. II Mr. Van
Ness can susiainehis cause only by mere repeli
ton OF exploded slang and ISLANDERS, either the
cause or the advocate is very poor one.
