The Treaty RatiHed.

We rejoice in being able to state that the treaty
between this country and England lately negotiat-
ed by Mr.. Webster on the one side and Lord Ash
burton on the other defining and settling the entire
boundary between the two nations from the Bay OF
Fundy to the Rocky Mountains, and settling seve-
raj other questions of difference and causes OF
heart-burning between them, has been ratified by
the Senate of the United States, after patient con-
sideraton and earnest discussion, by the decided
vote of thirty-nine Yeas to nine Nays-cvery
Senator present; Mcssrs. Nc Roberts of illinois,
and another, declining to vote. The Nays are re-
ported to have been Messrs. Benton (of course)
and Linn Of Mo, Buchanan! and Sturgeon oil
Pa, Allen of Ohio Smith Of Conn, Bagby Of Ala,
Condra Of Lou, and another. We hope to have
the vote automatically by this mornings mail.
Messrs Benton and Allen exerted themselves to
procure the rejection Of the Treaty, as became
them. Mr.. Calhoun distinguished himself on the
side of peace. We have heard that the injunction
of secrecy is to be removed from the debate, but
do not see how this can be, as the Treaty cannot
be made public until it shall have been ratified by
the British Government.
But although the details of the Treaty cannot be
given, the substance is sufficiently well known;
and we have not doubt that, while the terms of
adjustment are such as were desirable for Great
Britain, they are more favorable to us than tie
boundary as zoe claimed IL. We have not a
question that, three years hence, Maine would not
dream Of surrendering the free navigation of the
St. Johns alone for al the sterile and frozen acres
she relinquishes BY this treaty. The acquisition
of Rousse's Point, and several other concessions OF
decided Importance to u.s. evince the spirit of true
Cancellation which the British ambassador brought
to the great duty he had undertaken. Each nation
is mliens richer for the mutually advantageousset
tlemen, of the differences which have so long dis
turbed their relations. May all future differences
have an issue equally suspicious.

Croton waser-The Right Plan.

| 10 the Editor OF the Tribune.
How is it that when every scribbler is placing
his schemes before the public, in reference to this
very important subject, one has spoken out in
plain terms Of the only view that can be taken
of what is al-important both TO the health Of the
community and to the taxpayers
The object of the great expense incurred to
btlng the CrotoR here, was to give full supply
| 10 aU of pure and wholesome
1t seems to have been decided TO charge some
$50 or over 10 Introduce it into each dwelling,
besides charging annual rent of from ten TO
twenty dollars for The use of tho water
New there are ct least two-,hirds, and probably
more, OF the buildings in this city occupied by
persons who do not own them, and who ans quite
as likely to stay but one year Us longer in their
present residences, and can it be expected that
they will Willingly expend $50 to have water
brought to house in which they may not stay
bet few months
Common sense says no-and experience, 50
far, says no-and the fact that some $50, 900 only
has vet been received, and not one in hundred
using the water, should open the eyes of all TO the
inefHciency of the presen, arrangement, whereby
little is likely to be received for the water,
and the community so little benefited by its use
The only true plan is to put the water in every
house, at the public expense, to be betrayed by
tax, and then charge the for It's use, and in
short time it would be used By every family,
and the income for the rents would go far towards
defraying the inteIes, the water debt
But if the present plan is pursued of keeping it
under lock and key, it Were, 1t will prove a
curse rather than blessing, and it will soon be
that such is the fact.
There is not the least doubt that If petition
was circulated, praying of the Common Council
such an arrangement as has been proposed, more
than three quarters of the voters in the city would
sign it with great pleasure; and if the plan is
adopted seen, there viii be such petitions eir
culased, Cor there is already much feeling on the
subject

\ Tr>n sreRY.-A gentleman, says the New
Orleans Bulletin, lately from Washington county,
Mississippi, relates that body of water called
Cole Lake, about 20 miles in length, 100 yards
WIDE and from Is to 30 feet in depth, having
once been the bed of the Sunhower river, with
which it now communicates, ately committed a
strange freak. a few mornings since, says the
Creole, some of the negroes belonging plan
tation of Mr.. William P. Perkins, situated oppo-
site midway the lake, upon going to the shore
observed great comnoton among the fish, many
of them darling to the bank as if mad, many
bounding out and Immediately dying, and others,
the larger ones particularly, rising to the surface
of the water, peering their heads above, gasping
as if about die, and descending suddenly to the
bottom. The next morning. the Lake for one
mile each way covered with dead fish, as
were also the adj acent banks.

DEATH FsoM DRuEKEsEss.-The annals of in

A Mrs. Turk was burnt to death by her clsthes

husband, though lying By her, Was too drunk to
save her from destruction! Her clothing was al
most wholly burnt, saving only small fragment
between her shoulders and the ground where she
lay; and her body was burnt to crisp.

RIor AT ST.. GATHERINGS, L. C.-We regret to
learn that the apprehension of troubles at ST. Ca
therines, in consequence of the large collection at
that place of unemployed and destitute Irish labor
ers, has been more than realized. We have not
yet received any authentic details, but we learn
verbally the following: Last Wednesday morning
the laborers assembled in immense masses, with
banners bearing vurisus devices and Inscriptions,
and proceeded to supply their with the strong
hand All efforts arrest their proceedings were
unavailing. The Catholic priest resident there in
formed the authorities that all his efforts to restrain
them had proved useless, that they were desperate
men and would have work or food The town was
completely given up to them, none daring 10 make
any resistance. Several stores and mills were
plundered of goods and -four, and an American
schooner bound down, was boarded and rlundered
of the pork which formed part of her cargo. We
have not heard that any lives were lost but our in
fornant says it was terrible thing to see so many
hundreds OF men frenzied with passion and hunger
with no restraint upon the impulses Of their wild
natures. We shall be anxious TO hear full particu-
lars. At the latest accounts the rioters were en-
Joylng themselves upon what they had taken Poor
wretches, we feara terrible re,ribulion awaits them
One cannot help plying them.
