itself to teach us not TO be too sangulne in our
antcipauons. II does not only manifest dis
position on the part of Great Britain to adjust
all differences peaceaby, but il demonstrates
also determination TO come TO a d fnitive un-
derstanding on all the controverted points. Ii
may happen that, on some of the questions of
the highest importance, full accordance may be
found impossible. This Government will not
suffer England TO dictate the terms of the stipu-
lations TO be entered into: there are principles
which we can never yield. If England requires
as an alternative, concession which surrenders
any of the rights of our citizens the negotiation
is closed, and war must ensue
1t is the part of wisdom, therefore, to prepare
for the worst. The Special Mission presents an
unfavorable as well as a favorable aspect. If il
is unsuccessful in the attainment of the great
object Of peaceable adjustment OF the exist
ing differences war will ensue far more speedi-
ly than if Lord Ashburton had never been de-
spatched to our shores on message of peace.
Congress and the country must look at all the
possible consequences of the Special Mission !;
and, while they may indulge in the hope that it
promises peace, they must know that it also
threatens immediate war. For this alternative
they must prepare and make their preparations
ample in proportion to the power of the enemy
with whom we may be brought in collision.

IJABUJTIEs OF CORPORATIONS

1t will be SEEM by examining the proceedings Of the
House of Representatives of this State, that vote
passed on Saturday, recommending to Congress to in
clude corporations in the bankrupt bill. Had the
motion been to include banking corporations, the ma
orty for the amendment would have been much
larger. The question was taken without debate on
that point. Had the matter been fully examined,
we think the motion could not have prevailed. Ii
was too sweeping altogether and would have covered
more ground than is generally imagined. II would
have included towns, plantations and cities, religious
societies, agricultural societies. canal companies rail
road companies, bridge companies, cemeteries, aqe-
duct companies, colleges, academies, high schools,
&c, all of which, any accidental failure to meet
their engagements promptly in ready money, would
be turned over to commissioners under the bankrupt
act and their effects sold under the hammer. Hence
it was, we believe that the Wings, though they had
no opportunity to express their opinions generally
voted against including corporations, and not be-
cause they are unwilling to include banking corpora
tions.
Il has been the standing doctrine of our opponents
that the General Government has no control over
the banks that they must be regulated 10y the States
Well we have waited to the States regulate
them They have had this business ON their hands
ever since 1886 whom the T., :. Bank charter cx-
pired-and hoic they now regulated They have
suspended specie payments in twothrds of the States
and the prospects of their resumng are now as du-
bious ever. Since, then, we cannot get \ a.
tonal Bank, to drive them into resumption, as was
done IN lSl7 we see no other resource than to m
cude them in bankrupt law. 1t is a harsh remedy
and would make smashing work in the South and
West but seems to be as necessary as cutting OIL
leg to save the body. II will do us no harm N New
England, for we want no banks here that are not
sound specie-paying institutions: The law OF tins

tions against unsound banks, faithfully enforced,

THE SPECIAL MISSION.

We have already adverted to the Special Mis-
sion despatched from England to this country
We conceive it indicative Of disposition on
the part Of that Government to settle, by AMIGA
BILE negotiation, the subjects of dispute which
now menace a rupture between the two nations.
Hitherto Great Britain has not seemed to mani
fest conciliatory spirit. She added encroach-
ment to encroachment and assumption to as
sumption, till there was every reason to believe
that war was inevitable, and that such was the
consummation she desired A change of Min
istry appears, however, to have superinduced a
change of measures, and to demonstrate her
wish for peace and harmony between the two
countries; she leads the way in negotiation.
The Special Mission, it must be observed,
nevertheless, brings matters to crisis, While
it does not insure peaceable result, it nsures a
final decision of all matters now in dispute
The laws which are to govern the two countries
in relation to the points in controversy, must
now be defntively settled by mutual agreement
or each country must take stand in defence Of
its own understanding the laws which shoult
regulate the intercourse between nation and ma
ton. If both the negotiating powers find them
selves able to agree, peace we may expect vii
be permanently established between them-a
the questions now pending cover nearly every
conceivable cause of rupture-and even SHOULD
others hereafter arise, we can trust that the spi
rit which adjusts the present serious differences
will be equally efficient in bringing to the sam
happy termination those which may by chanc
follow.
But, while the appointment Of Lord Ashbul
ton creates hope that the probability of war
lessened, there is enough in that appointmer

We visited last evening the Ladies Fair, 2
street. got up for the benefit of ST. Matthew's Church
and Free School, and much struck, at the very
entrance by the chaste and elegant decorations ofthe
room, and by the beautiful and tasteful style in which
the various articles for sale are dspaye and we
cannot help thinking that among the different places
of public resort which attract the attention OF
strangers and the public generally there are
any more deserving of patronage. Its object
is TO raise funds to iquidate the debt still due upon
the church, and which presses the severely upon
the reverend pastor of that church, nasmuch he Il.
personally responsible for it. He has, therefore, APP
pealed in this manner to his people, and the pubic
generally, for aid His situation in this respect pow
erully interests the sympathes ofhe public and il is
pleasing to see with what aacrity the female portion
of his flock at least have rallied around their beloved
pastor at this critical moment. Their e1ertions IN
this truly charitable and benevolent do them in
finite credit and are above all praise. The Rev Mr..
Donelan is highly popular among all classes OF the
community, and deservedly so, and we sincerely wish
him success. Indeed, ifthe gentlemen only come for

PUBLIC OPINION is power, not easily to be
defined with precision, but yet more difficult to
be resisted. There are strong signs of its be-
ginning to concentrate against railroad mono
poles. The Postmaster General is likely to
have to bear the brunt of the first conflict, but
there are already strong manifestations that he
will not be left unsupported. He will have in
the contest one advantage-a host in itself
that having first offered fair and liberal COM
pensation compared aoiM any additional er-
penSes incident to the service required, and
what more can any company expect? What
more does any individual get2 Though by the
letter of their charter, these privileged compa-
MES may demand exorbtant toll, it may still be
well for them to remember that there is treason
in all things even in roasting eggs" If they
demand pay far exceeding the revenue from the
postage on their lines, the people must be td.red
heartily to make up the deficiency, or the pub
lie mails must be left to move far in the rear Of
the public travel and then the people will begin
to inquire for remedy. The extension of all
existing railroads tends greatly to enhance the
profits of those which are already in operation,
When new lines are to be made, Congress
will again be mplored to let railroad iron come
in free Of duty, but will the prayer be granted
except on a condition that the mail shall be
| transported on reasonable terms 1t was then
that this fair consideration should have been
insisted on. When monopolies become oppres-
slve, public opinion rarely fails in its power to
redress public grivances. The Eastern papers
begin to express the public feeling in harmony
with the following from the g New Hampshire
Patriot and State Gazette.n This voice from
the granite Hills of New Hampshire will be
echoed through the country.
The Postmaster General doubtless wishes t
be liberal but is doubtless unwilling to establish
precedent, that if followed out, would leave
him no means Of extending facilities any wher,

Railroads and the Post Office Department. Post
master General is manifestng determination to re-
sis the exorbant exactons of Railroad Corporations
for carrying the mail. lie has ordered the mail be-
tween Worcester and Albany to be carried in coaches
having found It impossible, with any regard to right
to comply with the unreasonable demands of the
Western Railroad Corporation. The corporation
was offered the extrayagant sum Of $4,000 per an
mum for transporting the mail between Worcester
and Albany, but supposng that they had the power
to dictate and enforce what terms they pleased they
demanded much higher price. The result was that
the Department resolved not to yield to the arbitrary
purse-proud will of an avarcious corporation. The
Postmaster General will be nobly sustained in the
just position he has taken. The Inconvenience of
more tardy communication, delay and failures, will
be cheerfully submitted TO by the people This is
one of the benefits we derive from monopolies. The
