THE BRITISH FORCE ON THE
LAKES.

Great anxiety has been frequently
expressed with regard TO the British
armed vessels on the Lakes, which be
long 10 both Canada and the United
States The provisions Of The treaty
between the two nations upon This sub
ject are stated as follows in the Albany
Evening Journal:
A treaty Of arrangement was made
in 1877 between the two countries, by
which it was stipulated the naval force
to be maintained upon the American
Lakes by the respective parties, should
hereafter be confined 10 the following
vessels on each side:
"On Lake Ontario, TO one vessel not
exceeding one hundred tons burden,
and armed with one eighteen pound
cannon.
"On the Upper Lokes, to two vessels
not exceeding like burden, and armed
with like force.
"On the waters Of Lake Champain,
one vessel not exceeding like burden,
and armed with like force''
II was further agreed, that If either
party should thereafter be desifous of
annuIIing the agreement, and should
give six months notice to that effect,
the agreement should cease to be bind
ing after the expiration of the 6 months.
The British Government gave notice TO
the President of The United States in
November 1888, that that Government.
had found il necessary TO increase their
armament on the iakes
Mr.. Van Barren seems to have suppos
ed that it was perfectly proper and safe
TO let The British Government have as
large force upon the Lakes as it pleas
ed and 10 leave the frontier delenceless
on our part.

tTlt is source Of some comfort 10
perceive, as we do. that the Locofoco
party has shown no increase Of strength
or numbers in any of the recent State
elections. The Wings have been de-
feated by their failure TO attend The polls
and this is mainly attributable to a
general apathy produced by the unfor
tunate and i'll timed uetOes Of President
Tyler. The Wings Of the Union will
shake off this apathy in less than one
years and victory will again perch upon
their banners.

OHIO LEGISLATURE.

Our information from the diffe rent
counties, lead us 10 suppose, that the Lo-
cofocos will have a small ma jority in
both branches of the Ohio Legislature.
We shall now have another opportuui-
ty to see what is meant by the Locoroco
phrase, "Bank Reform" AND, Judging
from the past, it is easy to foresee that,
in the Lokey vocabulary, "Bank Re-
form" is only another phrase for hum
bug. Sadly will those be hSmbugged,
who expect any thing TO be done by The
Lokies for The benefit OF the currency.

him to The table. And Holmes, as every

Mammoth Iron Steamer. The great

in England, will, no doubt, when com
pleled, be regarded as one of The most
extraordinary mechanical wonders IN
the world. She will carry five masts,
and her tonnage will reach the enor-
nous extent of $500 Her length on
deck is 324 feet. She will have four
engines OF 800 horse power each, and
is expected 10 be completed BY the list
of May next She is designed, in the
first place, for the Archmedes screw ;
but should that fail, she is so construct
ed that paddles may be readily resort

injured, the accident would not afec the
safety Of the vessel. Her workmanship
throughout is described as Of the very
highest style OF art. She will be filled
with water before she is launched, and
thus her tigblhess tested. The iron
