Rhode Island.

Matters have come to an alarming crisis, in
Rhode Island, for there are two Governors and
two Legislatures in the State, claiming to be re-
cognized as such by the people. Mr. Dorr, was
inaugurated Governor by the free suffrage party,
Yesterday week; and Gov King, the late Exec
utive, was re-installed in Office last Wednesday.
The State House, at Newport, has been closed,
and is in possession of the Sheriff of the County.
The old State authorities have removed to Provi-
dence, where Gov. King and his Legislature have
been in Session during the past week. Mr. Dorr.
and has Legislature, did not take possession of the
State House, as they had threatened 10 do. but
have held their sittings in an unfinished Iron
Foundry, in Newport. On Thursday, a Mr. Brown,
one of the Members of the free suffrage Legisla-
ture, arrested for treason, at the instance of
Gov. King, but was afterwards left to Bail bv the
Chief Justice in the sum Of $4,000 This will
bring the claims ofthe two parties before judicial
tribunal and be the means Of settling which has
the right to govern. Both parties, it is said, have
sent to Washington for aid from the General
Government; but what countenance they have re-
ceired, has not yet transpired.

North Eastern Boundary Question.

We are glad to inform our readers that the set
ilement of this prolific source Of discord between
,he United States and Great Britain is one of the
matters entrusted to Lord Ashburton, the Special
Minister of Queen Victoria, to this country. Sew
'ral interviews upon the subject have already ia
zen place between his lordship and Daniel Web
ser, the result of which has been communicated
20 Governor Fairfield, of Maine, in which State
The disputed territory lies. Gov. Fairfield has al
50 issued Proclamation for the Legislature Of
Maine, to convene On the 18th of Nav, inst. to
consider and determine upon the propositions
which viii be made to them, and to take such
ether steps as the interests Of the country may
require.
We entertain strong hope that this vexed ques-
ZION viii now at length he put at rest, and settled
II a manner highly honorable to the United States
Il is the true policy of England to maintain peace
with this country. The recent defeat of her arms
in India, where near 10000 of the flower of her
army was destToyed-her war with China, which.
N order 10 be carried on with vigor, requires a
large portion OF her available naval and military
lorces-and the great domestic difficulties Of her
people, are all matters which forbid the idea of
her going 10 war with the United States Ii is
her interest then TO settle the points at variance
between US, and secure our friendship. To effect
his, she will, in opinion, he willing to do US
full justice, and rather yield little than to inter-
pose any difficulties in the adjustment of the points
IN dispute.

COrnSaalk Sugar.

| The experiments of Mr.. William Webb of
Wilmington, Delaware, prove the practicabiiy
of manufacturing sugar from the juice of the
corn stalk, at much cheaper rate than can be
done from the cane. The machinery is Of
very simple construction and cheap. Thai
used by Mr.. Webb, is the cylinder, such as
used for grinding apples, or three uprigh, wood
en- rollers from twenty 10 forty inches in length
turned 10 run true and put into strong frame
will answer. The power applied to The mid
die roller by means of a sweep, as in cider
mill. Mr.. Webb describes better machine
made entirely of iron; three horizontal rollers
erected one above and two below, the stalk
passes directly through, receiving two pres,ur.
es before it escapes. The lower cylinders are
contained in a small cislern, which receives
the Juice MIR. Webb thus describes his pro.
cess of manufacturing the sugar after the juice
is expressed -
The process which has been employed in the
manufacture of Maize sugar, is as lollows:-
The juice, after coming from from the mill
Stood for short time, 10 deposit some of its
coarser impurities; it was then poured of, and
passed through flannel s,rainer, in order 10
get rid of such matters as could be separated
in this way Lime water, called milk Of lime,
was then added, in the proportion of one or two
table spoonsfull to the gallon. Ii is said by
sugar manufacturers, that knowledge on this
point can only be acquired by experience; but
have never failed in making sugar from EN-.
ploying TOO much or too little of the lime
certain portion of this substance. however, is
undoubtedly necessary, and more or less than
this will be injurious; but no precise directions
can be given about it. The Juice was then
placed over the FIRE, and brought nearly to The
boiling point, when it was carefully skinned
taking care TO complete the operation before
ebuliion commenced. 1t was then boiled
down rapidly, removing the scum as it rose
The juice was examined from time TO time, and
If there wss an appearance Of feculent particles
which would not rise TO the surface, it was
again passed through flannel ssrainer In
Judging when the syrup was sufficiently bued
a portion was taken between the thumb and
finger, and If, when moderately cool, a thread
half an inch long could be drawn, it was con.
sldered TO be done, and was poured into broad
shallow vessels TO crystalline In some cases,
crysialllzaliOn commenced is twelve hours; in
others, not till after several days; and in no
case was this process so far completed as TO
allow the sugar 10 be drained, in less than three
weeks from The time of boiling. The reason
why so great length of time was required |
have not yet been able to discover. There is
no doubt but that an improved process of man.
ufaclure Will cause 1t TO granulate as quickly
as any other.

The Petitioners for the Benefit of the Bankrupt
Laws, and those of their Creditors who may be
desirous of opposing their discharge, will no doubt
be glad to learn that Judge Randall has ordered
the examination of the Petitioner to take place be-

Bankrupt resides. This is highly important to
those interested, and will save considerable ex-
pense to both parties, who would otherwise be
obliged TO travel to Philadelphia where the Court

The New York Herald says, that Captain Tyler
will shortly make about 1000 removals from Of
fee; that he will sweep both the Clay Wings and
the Loco Foco brawlers and retain none but those
who are friendly TO his measures and will support
his administration. In our opinion the Captain
will have some difficulty in carrying his resolu-
ton into effect; for we do not believe that he can
find half the contemplated number Of men in the
Union who are either foolish or wicked enough to
join hands with him in his suicidal measures and
policy. If they agree even to accept office, they
will be clear of following his Instructions

The Apportienn,eHt Bill.

This important Bill has passed the lower House
OF Congress- with the ratio of represe ntaton fixed
at 50,l79 and clause requiring the several States
10 be laid of that no District shall elect more
lhan one Member. 1t will most probably pass the
Senate without amendment. Although the Con-
:itution Of the United States, had given Congress
ne power TO specify how, and in what manner. the
Members OF that body should be elected, this is
the first time the power has been exercised
Heretofore Congress merely fixed the ratio Of rep
resentation. and specified how many Members
each State should elect; and the consequence has
been that in some States SINGLE double, and treble
representative Districts were formed, whilst in
others the Members were elected by General
Ticket.
To show the bearing Of this loose mode Of le-
gislating upon the political complexion of Con-
gress, viii present the case of two States, one
Of which elects by single Districts, and the other
by General Ticket. In Pennsylvania, with two
exceptions, the Districts are single, and in New
ersey the General Ticket system prevails Now,
although Pennsylvania Contains nearly FIVE times
~ i,opuiation, and has nearly five times as large
T. delegation as New-Jersey; yet by means Of the
ifereut modes Of electing Members, New Jersey,
has at this moment three times the strength upon
the floor Of Congress ION questions of general i'm
portance) that Pennsylvania has. This must be
apparent TO every one, when they remember that
The Locos in this Stale have Is members and the
Wings IL, difference of t10O; whilst New Jersey
has solid Wing Delegation Of 6, who are united
upon every vitaIly important matter that comes up
i5r decision.
Now this is wrong in tvo-fold sense First,
il has tendency to give the small States pre-
londerance over the large ones sand, Secondly,
ii leaves large minority of the people without
voice in Congress. The new apportionment bill
will remedy these evils; and also prevent that
gerrymanderlng, it is called, to suit party pur-
poses, which the people of several States have had
such severe cause to complain Of The effect Of
this ratio Of 50,79 upon the several States, is as
