NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE.

A late New York paper says the investi-
eating committee has not closed its labors,
nor is it likely to do SO at present. Although
they have been using the probe buta single
week we are informed that many deep and
grievous sores have been discovered. In
other words, we are assured, that disclosures
OF rascalities SO stupendous as almost to star
tie belief have been made, and the inves,iga-
ton is not half completed. The disclosures
are chiefly wrung from those who have been
engaged in the customs-who are acquainted
with the secrets of the prison-house. We
are farther assured that the recent astounding
statements of "a late custom-house officer"
as published in the Express, have been sus-
tained--and We have also learned that those
statements have actually and truly been de-
rived from those lately in the custom-house,
who have stood high with "the party"

to withhold the benefit which a knowledge of

CUPID's ARROW.

Young Cupid went stormng to Vulcan one day
And besought him to look at his arrow
"'Tis useless,' he cried "you must mend it, say;
IT is not fit to let fly at sparrow"
There something that IS wrong in the shaft the DART
For it fiutters quite false to my am
IT is an age since il fairly went home to the heart,
And the world really jest at my NAME
" have straghten'd ve bent, we tried ALL declare,
I've perfumed it with sweetest of signs
IT is featered with ringlets my mother might wear,
And the barb CLEANS with light from young eyes
But it falls without touching-I III break it, vow,
For there IS EIymen beginning to pout;
lie Is complaining his torch burns dull and low,
That Zephyr might puff it right out'
Little Cupid went on with his pitifIl tale,
Till Vulcan the weapon restored.
"There, take it, young sir try ii now-ifit fail
| will neither ask fee reward.'
The urchin shot out, and havoc he made;
The wounded and dead were untold;
But no wonder the rogue had such saughtering trade,
For the was laden with gOld.

that city were recently listeners to conversation
between gentleman of Portland, and Mr.. Elliot,
of St. John N B., in which the latter said tina, an
assistant of Mr.. Feathersonaugh had stated in his
presence, in public house in st. John, that the
British surveying party (of which he was one) went
to the point claimed by the Americans to be the
northwest angle Of Nova Scotia; that the party
there found highlands corresponding with those de-
scribed in the treaty of 1888; that those highlands
were measured at the time and ascertaned TO be
twelve hundred feet above the level OF the sea;
that the surveying party found a continuous range
of highlands, spending to those mentioned in
the treaty; tina, these facts, though well known to
Featherstonhaugh, were suppressed in the report /;
and that the report oc the commissioners is under
